Chapter 162: The Teacher of Grief and Indignation
"General Andrew, isn't it strange that the enemy has been besieging for a few days, and now there is no movement, but they are beginning to withdraw their troops?" Simak Base Camp on the west side of the New Jersey Mountains, it has been nearly a month since Higg led the army to withdraw, and for a month, Arad's coalition forces have continuously launched attacks on this valley position, Simak and Anderson took advantage of the favorable terrain and relied on the most elite 30,000 Chinese Guards Battalion of the Fifth Army Corps, and the enemy has never stopped fighting in this mountainous area, or holding on, or maneuvering, while Allah's coalition army has relied on the superiority of more than 200,000 troops, and the Chinese Guards Battalion of Simak has won and lost. In this mountainous area, the cavalry is basically useless, and the baggage troops cannot be driven in for the time being, and the large army cannot be deployed. As a result, a confrontation gradually formed, and from the beginning of the large-scale offensive and defensive battles, it slowly turned into small-scale harassment and sneak attacks, which never stopped.
"The young marshal should have led a large army into the Luojia River Plain, I think the enemy is in a hurry to retreat and reinforce there!" Andrew said, "General Simak, please give me 5,000 soldiers and horses, I am willing to sneak attack and harass from behind the enemy, and I must not let the enemy's reinforcement plan succeed, and buy a little more time for the young marshal!" ”
Simak said: "The person who fought against us during this time was Curdes of the Fourth Legion, who was the deputy marshal of the Fourth Legion, not an incompetent. The Fourth Army sent 300,000 troops in the coalition army, and now his army still has at least 2560,000 troops, with minimal losses, and the enemy is now retreating rather than retreating, and it is impossible to be defenseless! ”
"Even if it's a trap, I'm going to give it a try!" Andrew said, "It's nothing for us to suffer a little loss here, the materials and elites are here, the young marshal is more bitter than us, we can share more!" ”
"That's not going to work either!" Simak said, "Old general, if you want to go, I will go, otherwise something will happen, and I will not be able to explain to the young marshal!" ”
"General Simak, you are the commander of the Chinese Guards Battalion, and the commander of this battalion, you can't do without you here!" Andrew said, "I'm old, but I'm not useless!" Don't worry, I promised the young marshal to go to Fuxing City to see the statue of Lord Marshal, and I will retire there, I will be careful! ”
"But, the old general......"
"Don't fight anymore! Don't miss the opportunity, please give the order of General SMK! ”
……
Andrew led the 5,000 Chinese Guards Battalion, and the retreating Curdes army, after a day's rapid march, in the afternoon of the next day, successfully caught up with the logistics supply force of the Curdes, Andrew did not hesitate to order the troops to raid, but encountered the stubborn resistance of the logistics supply troops, and there was no way to take this army for a while!
Andrew also fought with the Fifth Army for many years, and although he rarely led the army alone, he would not fail to understand that he had been fooled!
"Retreat now!" Andrew immediately ordered, and a huge fireball shot at several soldiers who were besieging him.
"Kill ......" Andrew only heard the sound of killing behind him, countless enemy soldiers killed from behind, and at the same time, in the mountains and dense forests on both sides, waves of arrows were shot!
"The 1,000-man team followed me to cover, and the others immediately broke through!" The 1,000-man team, led by Andrew himself, immediately rushed to the army of logistical supplies, allowing the other four teams to escape.
"General Andrew, I'll cover it, you quickly break through with the army!" Andrew's guard said.
"Onado, leave me alone, you guys quickly retreat!" Andrew grabbed the arm of the guard Onado, handed him the Sex Army token, spat out a mouthful of blood, and said with difficulty, "Tell General Simak and ask him to continue the pursuit!" Evacuate! ”
After Andrew finished speaking, he shook off Onado and staggered towards the front army coming this way, and Onado found that Andrew had three arrows firmly stuck in his back. I saw Andrew suddenly stop and chant the magic spell, only to hear a loud bang on the ground, and his body exploded on its own, turning into a huge hellfire, and drowning in the sea of fire along with the enemies who came from the impact.
……
After Andrew's departure, SMK felt more and more uneasy. So, in the afternoon of the next day, 20,000 soldiers of the Chinese Guards Battalion were gathered, and Andrew followed the reinforcements overnight, leaving only 5,000 Guards Battalion and 10,000 wounded soldiers to stay in the camp.
Simak knows that the relationship between Higg and Andrew, even if he stays in the camp and loses or his army is wiped out, he can't let Andrew have an accident, otherwise, he can't face not only Higg himself, but also those veterans of the Fifth Legion, and even his father who has died in battle!
In the early morning of the second day after Simak's departure, the tired army was taking a short rest, when more than 100 remnants of the Chinese Guards Battalion appeared in the direction of Andrew's march and were running towards him.
"General Simak!" Andrew's bodyguard, Onador, wept bitterly and said to Simak, "We were in an ambush, and General Andrew was killed in battle to cover our breakthrough!" ”
Seeing the embarrassed defeated army without seeing Andrew, Simak had already guessed seven or eight points, but when he heard Andrew's guard tell him the news in person, he still couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, his body staggered, he almost fell to the ground, grabbed the armor on the chest of Enador, and said angrily: "Where is the corpse of the old general, Enador, as a guard, didn't you grab it?" ”
"General Andrew cautiously shot three arrows, rushed at the enemy army, blew himself up, and perished with the enemy, without a corpse!" Onado cried bitterly and handed over Andrew's token and said, "General Andrew hopes that General Simak will continue to pursue!" ”
"Of course we have to keep pursuing!" Simak turned out to be a token, gritted his teeth and said.
"If the guards are not effective, this will go with General Andrew!" After the guard finished speaking, he did not hesitate to draw a knife and wipe it to his neck!
Simak quickly kicked away the guard's saber, and said angrily: "If you have a kind, you will kill back with me and avenge the old general, what kind of hero is it if you die like this!" ”
"Good!" Onado shouted, "We will go back with the general and avenge General Andrew!" ”
"How many people broke through?"
"I don't know!" Onado said, "The road is full of remnants, our more than 100 people are General Andrew's 1,000-man team, and the last to evacuate, the other 1,000-man team should be better, but we have General Andrew's entrustment, and we are eager to report to the general, so we hurried back!" ”
"You are responsible for cleaning up the remnants, if they have a kind, follow me, and we will kill them!" Simak said loudly, handing Andrew the token to Onado, "The old general's men and horses will be taken over by you for the time being!" ”
"Yes!" Onado said loudly, "I promise that everyone who can still move and kill the enemy will follow the general to kill back!" ”
"Herald, go!"
……
The defeat of the 5,000 men led by Andrew shocked everyone, but Andrew's courage to blow himself up and die with the enemy aroused the blood of every soldier.
Curdes never dreamed that Simak, who had suffered a big loss, would dare to commit a military taboo and continue to pursue him. Curdes, who thought that his rear team would be at ease from now on, focused all his energy on reinforcing the Luojia River Plain, but he never expected that on the second night when he had just defeated Andrew's 5,000-strong elite, his real logistics supply troops would be completely wiped out by Simak, which was a month's supply of his more than 200,000 troops.
"General Simak, the enemy's rear army of 20,000 people was routed by me, more than 4,000 enemies were killed, and there are still a lot of supplies!" Simak's personal guards stepped forward to report the results of the battle: "More than 1,000 prisoners have been captured, please dispose of them to the general!" ”
Simak thought for a moment and said, "The supplies are left in place, as for the prisoners, ......"
"Oh no!" Another guard stepped forward in a panic and reported, "General Simak, those subordinates of Onado, stormed the prisoner of war concentration without permission, killed more than a thousand prisoners, and are now waiting for the general to dispose of them in the prisoner of war camp!" ”
Simak was stunned for a moment, and immediately rushed to the scene of the incident with his personal guards, and found that Enado and more than a thousand soldiers were covered in blood and were neatly lined up in place waiting for their disposal, and in front of them were countless corpses and snow stained red with blood.
The guards stepped forward and asked, "General Simak, what are they going to do?" ”
Simak laughed: "What to dispose of?" Killing the prisoners of war was my order! After a pause, Simak then said loudly, "You give me an order, the army under the command of Curdes does not want prisoners of war, only heads!" ”
The guards hesitated for a moment, and were about to answer, but they heard Simak say: "Not only the headquarters of Curdes, but the fourth legion of Arad, all the headquarters of the fourth legion, we only need heads, do not take prisoners!" ”
"Just the head, don't take the prisoner!" Onado shouted loudly.
"Just the head, don't take the prisoner!" Everyone in the Onado queue shouted loudly.
"Just the head, don't take the prisoner!" The whole army shouted in unison.
……
Simak led the Grieved and Angry Division, again pursued for two days in a row, routed the enemy three times, killed more than 8,000 people, and then set up an ambush on the enemy's way back and killed more than 6,000 enemies again. Enraged, Curdes personally returned to the army and tried to recover the supplies, but when he arrived at the place where the logistics troops were attacked, he saw only corpses and materials that had been burned to ashes, and he couldn't help but be angry.
Simaks' army escorted more than 2,000 wagons, half of which were carrying the seriously wounded, and the other half were their own scarce supplies.
Having suffered heavy losses, Curdes continued to confront Simak with 100,000 men, while he himself led the rest of his men and horses to reinforce the plains of the Rodga River in frustration.
Andrew and Simak never dreamed that this operation would not only allow them to gain a firm foothold on the western side of the New Jersey Mountains, but also eliminate and contain a large number of Fourth Army troops.
But if Simak was given a choice, he would rather not have such a result himself than Andrew die in battle!
