Higg stood still and did not move, and the surrendering and surrendered teams began to cross the Marshall River from the boat bridge to the west bank of Higg's position.

When Higg saw Rogson's face full of tears, he couldn't help but burst into tears. When McCann told him that his father and mother had killed themselves in order to prevent their soldiers from being wiped out, Higg could not understand his parents' strange behavior.

And now, twenty-four years later, how similar is history? At that time, his father was in a desperate situation with the Kuba fortress in front of him that could not be captured, and the armies of the barbarian and Mizusawa countries behind him. In front of Koninka was the unbreakable defense line of the Marshall River, and behind it was Colenwal's 40,000 iron cavalry, also in a desperate situation. His father and mother killed themselves and let their soldiers surrender to the fortress of Kuba, and Koninka also killed himself and made his soldiers surrender to the Marshall River defense line.

How much courage does it take to pay for the continuation of one's own soldier's life?

Higg's hands trembled and tears flowed down his face. Blue Fairy and Nicole on both sides grabbed his left and right hands tightly, and they didn't know why. Perhaps only Rogson, the person in the audience, understands Higg's mood best, Nicole has heard some things about Higg's parents, but she doesn't fully understand it.

His parents killed themselves at that time, but his cronies were not spared from the disaster, and were brutally pursued and killed by Arad, and had to flee in all directions, and some even fled to foreign lands. What about himself, do you want to be like Arad and kill these pawns who are hated by his current subordinates? Do you still want to pull this hatred yourself?

Trembling all over, Higg tortured in his heart, he couldn't do it, if he killed these pawns, the soul of Koninca underground would definitely not let him go, and how would his parents, who were in the same situation as Konica, think of him?

Higg walked slowly to the river and bowed deeply to the corpse of Koninksa, who had long since drifted away. Except for Rogson, no one can understand Higg's state of mind, and how can someone who has not experienced this kind of experience understand and see through? They all felt that Higg's behavior was very strange, and for a self-deprecating general, he could be given such treatment.

With tears on his face, Higg walked up to the phalanx of the soldiers and said, "General Koninka used his own death to dissolve this hatred, and I will always be grateful to General Koninka for his righteousness and admiration for his courage, and my soldiers will also dissolve this hatred." Your general is benevolent and righteous, I am not a cruel person, if you yourself are willing to stay in the army, I will naturally welcome it, if you need to leave, I will never stop you, this is my promise to General Koningsa, but also to all of you, where to go, you decide! ”

Those soldiers all bowed their heads, no one spoke, for them, the corpses of their comrades were still in the river, and the bright red water had not yet cleared, so it was indeed difficult to accept for a while to let them give up their hatred!

"General Charlie!" Seeing that there was no response, Higg said to Charlie, "After returning to Fuxing City, after registering them, they will all be released and everyone will be paid!" ”

"Uh, General......" Charlie was of course reluctant to do this, but he didn't dare to disobey, and he didn't know what to say!

"Execute!" Higg said sternly, "General Rogson, you're here to supervise!" ”

At this time, a man in the general's costume came out and said to Higg: "General, it's not that we have any concerns, General Koninka has made it clear to us that we have no other way to go, since the general said that the hatred has been resolved, we are willing to follow the general!" ”

Higg said, "Have you thought about it? If there are any requests that can be made now, when they are in my team, they will not have a chance! ”

"We are pawns, what else do we have to ask? Just ask the generals to treat them equally! The general said.

Higg said, "Good! What's your name? ”

"Your Excellency, under the vanguard of the cavalry, Colonel Siruso!" Siruso replied.

"Okay, Siruso, since you have all made your choice, I promise to treat you equally, and if my subordinates can't do it, you can come to me at any time!" Higg said, "Now I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of this army, and I will take charge of this army for the time being, and then accept the reorganization when I return to Fuxing City, is it okay, General Siruso?" ”

Siluso bowed and saluted: "As long as the general can be treated equally, we are willing to follow His Excellency the general to the death!" ”

"Swear to follow His Excellency the General to the death!" All the servants bowed to Higg and shouted loudly.

……

For more than half an hour, the black-pressed cavalry phalanx advanced rapidly towards the Marshall River, and soon came to the east bank.

Sig and Shante stood on the arrow tower on the west bank of the river, looking at the 40,000 iron horsemen from afar, and they couldn't help but feel that the kind of battle spirit was overwhelming.

One of the generals of the cavalry stepped forward with the reins, came to the east bank, and asked in a loud voice to Higg on the arrow tower: "General Higg, have you wiped out all of Koningcha's troops?" ”

"So what?" Higg sneered, "The general seems to be late!" ”。

The general said with an ugly face, "Hehe, it doesn't matter, whoever annihilates is the same!" Now that General Higg has completely annihilated the enemy army, please let us cross the river!" ”

Higg wanted to laugh out loud: "Hahaha! The general is mistaken, General Kolenwa has appointed Lieutenant Colonel Shante to hold off the enemy until this evening, and I am just a reinforcement! If you want to cross the river, please tell Lieutenant Colonel Shante and ask him if he agrees! ”

"Lieutenant Colonel Shante, what do you mean?" The general asked loudly.

Shante said with a smile: "The military order given to me by General Colenva is to hold the position until this evening, and no one is allowed to pass, otherwise military law will be involved!" Please don't be embarrassed by Your Excellency General! ”

"Lieutenant Colonel Shante, are you going to rebel?" The general said angrily.

Shante sneered unhurriedly: "I'm just carrying out the order, my order is clear, no one is allowed to pass through here until this evening, is the general questioning General Kolunva's order, or does the general have a new order from General Colenva?" If there is, please show it to the general immediately, and I will naturally let it go immediately; If not, then the general has to cross the river, then please step over our corpses! ”

The general was simply angry, and roared angrily: "Lieutenant Colonel Shante, you are a small lieutenant colonel who dares to argue with General Ben, are the 40,000 iron horsemen behind me vegetarian?" ”

"General, please!" After Shante finished speaking, he and Higg walked down from the arrow tower, and let the cavalry general curse angrily.

……

Back to the camp tent of the Chinese army, all the generals are already waiting there!

"General Higg, are you really alright?" Shante asked first.

Higg scoffed, "What can it be?" ”

"There are 40,000 cavalry on the other side, and if we get angry, we can't stand it!"

Higg said coldly: "Joke! General Shante, you have Kolenva's military order in hand, what are you afraid of? Hehe, I'm afraid of their revenge? Did they give me less revenge? General Kolenwa actually wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, hehe, if I don't let him lose some face, will he still use it in this place in the future? ”

"Higg!" Nicole said: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to get along with General Kolenwa in the future, in case there is a conflict......"

"Nicole, I want to get along with Colenva, is he looking at me? He wants to trample me to death! Since this is the case, why should I give him face, why don't I dare to offend him? He wants to conflict? Not to mention General Colenva, even the marshal of the Second Army, he didn't dare to deal with the volunteers who supported Catherine in the open! Hehe, am I going to stir up and stir up trouble for him here today, and I won't let him pinch me in the future? ”

"General Charlie, Nicole, you first send troops to escort the wounded and sick, transport supplies back to Fuxing City, and we will leave in the evening for the rest!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

"General Shante, you are in charge of the defense of the riverbank, and those who dare to go down the river will be greeted by the crossbowmen!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

"General Rogson, General Siruso, the two of you are responsible for selecting a thousand cavalry from the soldiers, restoring the equipment, plus the original cavalry, and lining up on the riverbank!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

After Sigg gave the order, he said to Lan Xian'er: "Lan Xian'er, I'll give you a small task!" ”

Lan Xian'er smiled: "Hehe, I'm going to send a mission just now?" I don't know anything! ”

Higg said: "This quest is more fun, so I'll leave it to you, haha!" You take 300 people and tie 3,000 scarecrows! ”

Lan Xian'er asked curiously, "What do you want a scarecrow for?" ”

Higg smiled: "Keep it a secret for now!" ”

The 40,000 cavalry on the opposite bank were simply angry, and rushed to the shore in a black pressure, scolding as they went, but they were blocked by the archers commanded by Shante, and warned that if they dared to come within a hundred meters of the river bank, they would use ballistas.

A dozen unbelieving hussars, ignoring Shanter's warnings, forced their way into the Marshall River in order to cross the opposite bank. As a result, more than a dozen cavalry warriors who tried their way were sent into the belly of the fish by crossbowmen and crossbow carts.

The 40,000 cavalry were all dumbfounded, when had they ever received such an insult? But they have crossbowmen, crossbow carts, and a river, and they don't have reinforcements like Konincha, and they can't reason with Shante, a madman, and they don't care about it when it's over.

The 40,000 people withdrew more than a hundred meters away in this way, waiting for the night to fall, and they had nothing to do but shout and curse.

In the evening, when all the plans for the retreat of the troops were ready, Higg ordered the soldiers to place 3,000 scarecrows twenty meters from the river bank, and ordered all the tents not to be dismantled, but to light them.

As night fell, Higg arranged for his troops to retreat to Fuxing City in an orderly manner.

The camp tents on the west bank of the river are still brightly lit, and the scarecrows along the river bank are hazy in the faint moonlight, and the cavalry on the east bank two hundred meters away can tell whether they are real or dummy.
