Instead of staying in Bobohua City, Higg and Blue Fairy returned to Sappho Town, where they continued their honeymoon.

But Daniel insisted on practicing his magic in the army, and Andrew and the others were also persuaded by Higg not to have the idea of leaving the army for the time being, and to wait until the new marshal was appointed.

Although Hig returned to Swan Lake, he was very bored, and he couldn't let go of the front line in his heart, so every two or three days he went to the Kuba fortress to find Habaisa to drink and relieve his boredom.

After the summer, the weather starts to cool down and the rain becomes scarce. Arad's coalition forces also made strategic adjustments due to the response strategy of the Fifth Army, changing the norm from blockade to fierce attack.

In the end, the 400,000 allied troops surrounded the remaining 80,000 defenders of the Fifth Army on the south defense line, ready to eat them in one bite. The more than 80,000 soldiers who were waiting for reinforcements persisted for more than ten days, did not wait for the arrival of reinforcements, and ventured to break through, and in the end, only more than 9,000 people fought a bloody way and jumped out of the encirclement with the help of Daniel's magician group.

However, the defense line due south has been completely defeated, except for the Haman River in the dry season, there is no natural danger to defend south of Bobohua City, and the gateway to Bobohua City, the capital of Orlando, is wide open.

The rout of the due south line affected the whole situation, and the left flank of the southwestern line was exposed to the coalition forces of Arad, and also had to shrink back and retreat to the north bank of the Haman River.

Although the right flank of the southeast defense line was also exposed to Arad's coalition forces, they had not retreated for the time being due to the Leiden River, and they abandoned Zaire's rigid defense strategy and still stubbornly fought with Arad's coalition forces. However, under the arrival of reinforcements from the Arad coalition army and the intensified fierce attack, the southeastern defense line also began to loosen and was precarious.

Due south and southwest, the Alad coalition pursued the victory, and finally the two armies formed a brief standoff on both sides of the Haman River, and the Arad coalition army was busy mobilizing troops to prepare to force the river to continue the northern expedition.

At the emergency military meeting in Bobo Hua City, Asemir was furious and was very dissatisfied with the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Army, "What a shame, the 100,000 army was surrounded by 80,000 relying on natural danger, a group of wrecks and a group of devastated people, and only broke through less than 10,000 people, and the entire west bank due south was destroyed in one fell swoop, what do you say?" ”

"Lord-sama!" Simak also said angrily, "The resistance strategy and the specific battle plan were personally formulated by you and the deputy marshal, and you are asking us what to do now?" I think you should go to the front line and supervise the army on the Haman River Line. ”

"Presumptuous!" Zaire said angrily, "General Simak, how can you speak to Lord Chincha like this? ”

"Lieutenant Marshal!" Simak was even more angry and said, "You are also a person who has been marching for many years, and Lord Qincha doesn't understand strategy, don't you understand it either?" In the case of-for-tat troop consumption, when the strength of the troops is inferior to that of the other side, in the logistics department and inferior to the other side, when the equipment of the soldiers is inferior to the other side, and when the enemy is strong and we are weak, can we afford to consume it? Lord Chincha, we have held out for so long in this situation, what right do you have to say that the soldiers of our Fifth Legion are not brave and not good at fighting? It turns out that your strategy of resistance is completely wrong! ”

Zaire said: "General Simak, now is not the time to hold accountable, the key is how to make up for the loopholes in the defense line, how to resist the Haman River defense line!" ”

"Hahaha!" Simak laughed and said, "With the lives of nearly 100,000 soldiers, the deputy marshal actually wants to say that it is not the time to be held responsible, I want to ask the deputy marshal, how many 100,000 are enough for the two of you to waste?" The command of the Fifth Legion can no longer be in the hands of you two mediocre people! ”

"General Simak, are you going to rebel?" Asemi said angrily, "Do you want to give you the command of the Fifth Legion? ”

"Hahaha, rebellion?" Simak stepped forward and said, "Have you ever felt heartache when the Fifth Legion killed so many people?" Why did the Fifth Army need an outsider to take command? ”

"Someone!" Zaire said angrily, "General Simak is crazy, take him down to rest!" ”

Several guards entered the conference barracks, but were stopped by Gampochi and Korincha, who shouted angrily: "Get out! ”

"Am I crazy or is the deputy marshal crazy?" Simak said slowly, "You ask all the generals here, apart from your cronies, which general is still willing to fight this battle like this?" Since the deputy marshal and the king-chan are unwilling to hand over the handsome seal, it doesn't matter! Come on, first ask the deputy marshal and Lord Qincha to go down and rest! ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw more than a dozen guards enter the barracks, it was the soldiers of the SMS Central Guards Battalion, and without saying a word, they came forward to surround Asemir and Zaire, as well as a few of Zaire's cronies.

"SMS, you are a blatant rebellion!" Asemier said angrily.

"We control the exit route of the Fifth Legion by ourselves, so we don't need to worry about Lord Qincha!" Simak said coldly.

"Your Majesty has agreed to appoint Zaire as the Marshal of the Fifth Legion, and the envoy is on his way!" Asaimer said angrily, "You are openly against Your Majesty!" ”

Simak said with a smile: "Wait until Your Majesty's envoy can break through the enemy's blockade, enter the encirclement, and deliver the letter of appointment." ”

Zaire looked at all the people angrily and said, "When the real appointment is delivered, you will regret it!" ”

Simak waved his hand and motioned for the guards to take the man away.

After Asemir and Zaire were taken away, the entire conference hall exploded, and all the generals were talking. The sudden change shocked and frightened many people, but more often than not, it was relieved and relaxed.

SMAK came to the place where Zaire was originally sitting, did not sit down, and said: "Generals, now is the moment of life and death of our Fifth Army, after the assassination of Lord Marshal, there is no chief general in the army now, I hope you will elect a general to lead you out of the predicament!" ”

A general stood up and said: "General Simak, do you have the guts to oust Zaire from power, but you don't have the guts to be the commander?" ”

Another general stood up and said, "I also agree with General Simak to lead the Fifth Army for the time being!" ”

"I agree!"

……

Simak smiled, he knew that some of these people really supported him, and some wanted to let him be blackened to the end, but no matter what, his goal was about to be achieved, so he said with a smile: "Now the survival of the Fifth Legion is at stake, but I don't have the ability to lead everyone out of the predicament in front of them!" I propose, bring back the marching staff officer, General Hig! Many of the generals present here have fought with General Higg, and have also heard of General Higg's contribution to this anti-blockade, and all the supplies transported by the Kuba Fortress were provided by General Higg. What's more, General Higg has the trust of the Marshal, and he himself is wholeheartedly working for the Fifth Army to get out of trouble, so I suggest that General Higg be the commander for the time being! ”

An old general said: "General Simak, General Higg is too young, how can he be in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops?" ”

Simak smiled: "Old general, the previous marshal of the Fifth Legion, Michael, didn't he also become the marshal of the Fifth Legion before he was thirty years old?" I didn't want to talk about it, but now that life and death are at stake, I don't have any scruples. Generals, do you know the true identity of General Higg? General Higg is the orphan of Marshal Michael, and Marshal Montgoser knew about it, and many of the generals present knew about it. But what I will say is that now only General Higg can lead us to break the deadlock, save our Fifth Army Corps, and get out of the situation! ”

"Lieutenant General Gampoch on the left flank of our Chinese army fully supports General Higg!"

"General Kolincha on the left flank of the Chinese army, support General Higg!"

"General Daniel's mage and I fully support General Higg!" Andrew said.

……

One by one, the generals spoke, and all approved Higg to take command of the Fifth Army for the time being, until Her Majesty's appointment arrived.

Two days later, Higg was returned from Savo to the base camp in Bobohua, where he was greeted by all the officers in Bobohua.

But Higg didn't talk nonsense to the officers, and after he was away for more than a month, the situation became so bad that he was heartbroken.

Higg came to the sand table, listened to Simaks's military intelligence report and analysis, and fell into deep thought.

"Have you discussed it? What's the solution? Higg asked Simak.

"No solution!" Simak said, "The nearest place to the Haman River is only sixty kilometers away from Bobohua City, and the other side is now gathering troops, and it is definitely going to force a force to cross the river in one go, and then within a day, the army will be able to reach Bobohua City!" ”

"How much time do we have?" Higg asked.

"No more than a week!" Simak said, "General Higg, what can you do! ”

Higg said: "I can't hold it, there is no natural danger around Bobohua City, and it is useless to concentrate more troops!" ”

Higg's words made all the officers look depressed, although all of them knew that after crossing the Haman River, there was a plain, and the city of Bobohua could not be saved by the gods, but they had hoped that Higg could do something.

"But why should we keep it? The city is dead and cannot be moved, but we are alive and we can leave! Higg returned to the sand table and said, "Now the east bank of the Leiden River is still in our hands, the terrain there is complicated, and it is not the main direction of attack of the Allad coalition army, they have the least number of troops there, only a hundred thousand, and the troops we have concentrated on hand are more than 200,000 even if we do not include the Kuba fortress, if we do it properly, we can completely defeat the allied army of Allah there, and then jump out of the encirclement!" ”

"Leaving the base camp of Bobo Hua City?" All the officers were amazed.

Higg asked rhetorically, "Why not?" ”

Simak asked, "How could the Fifth Army, which has been operating in Bobohua City for decades, retreat in such a short period of time?" Besides, how can Your Majesty explain that the loss of the legion's base camp will be condemned! ”

"I have already agreed with General Habaiza that if the war is unfavorable, General Habaisa's 50,000 men will declare independence from the Fifth Army Corps, remain neutral, and only take care of the border, regardless of the civil war!" "The families of the officers, the wounded soldiers who cannot be evacuated, can temporarily settle in the town of Savo, and General Habaisa agrees that there will be no embarrassment!" ”

"What about the supplies?" SMS asked.

Higg said: "Don't bring these things with baggage, each soldier only brings personal equipment, as much military ration as he can take, the rest is distributed to the people on the spot, and all other bottles and cans are not needed, as long as you save your life, you can have anything in the future." ”

"Since you have chosen me as the coach, I don't have time to discuss so much with you, and hesitation is now a big taboo!" Higg continued, "I'm only giving you one day to do the mobilization, including the mobilization of the subordinate soldiers and the arrangements for the families, and it must be all completed!" ”

"In one day, you have to retreat?"
