Text: The Great Power Rivalry_Chapter 270 Galahad's Conspiracy
Lin Hu led an army of more than 40,000 people, and was hiding in a small forest at this time. Now the army only needs to look ahead, and they can see the city that looks like a giant beast not far ahead.
At this time, it is estimated that the defenders in the city of Wendyr are eating, and there is only a small group of soldiers at the gate of the city checking the people entering and leaving. There were only a few people on the city wall, conveying back and forth, and some even stayed together to chat, without checking the situation outside the city at all.
Come to think of it, now Galahad has led the troops and blocked the Beichen Army in front. Although the situation was a little bad before, now his own general led tens of thousands of horses and almost annihilated the 40,000 cavalry of the Beichen Army. This made the 500,000 defenders of the entire city of Wentil very excited, and several generals went straight to the front line with 200,000 soldiers and horses to support Galahad. Therefore, there are only 200,000 troops in the city now, which is also the reason why the city of Wentiel is temporarily in the rear.
With General Galahad leading more than 200,000 soldiers to block in front, Wintier City still doesn't have to worry about security at present. If the Beichen army wants to attack the city of Wentil, they must first face the 200,000 army of Galahad. Without defeating Galahad or driving Galahad's forces back to Wintier, there was no way for the army to advance.
Now Galahad is leading 200,000 soldiers and horses, and he is still camped in the valley road, just blocking the direction of the Beichen army. Passing through the valley is undoubtedly the closest, and if you detour from the side, it may be okay for less than 50,000 troops, but it will be troublesome for 2 million troops. If so many people want to detour, it will take more than half a month. Besides, it's useless for the army to go around. Galahad was stationed in the middle of the valley, and even after a detour, he had to take Galahad's camp from the valley. Otherwise, those 200,000 troops could affect the logistics of the 2 million Beichen Army officers and soldiers at any time. If something goes wrong, no one can afford it.
Secondly, it is impossible for the army to block the two exits of the valley, and it is impossible to block the valley where Galahad is blocked. As locals, the soldiers of the country where the sun never sets are much more familiar with the terrain of the valley than the Beichen army. Since Galahad dared to camp in the middle of the valley, there must be other exits in the valley. Otherwise, how could Galahad's mind have encamped in the middle of the valley?
Therefore, Galahad, who led more than 200,000 soldiers to block the road in the valley, became a fish thorn in the throat of the Beichen army, and it was difficult to swallow if it was not removed. With Galahad's blocking of the road, Wentil City naturally didn't have to worry too much about the Beichen army. It's just that none of the generals of the country where the sun sets thought that Yue Fei had already led an army of 500,000 to the rear of Wentil City. Among them, there are 40,000 cavalry, marching in concealment all the way, and they can already see the walls of Wentil City.
When he first arrived in this forest, Lin Hu had already divided 10,000 soldiers and scattered them to ambush around the city of Wentil. The purpose was to prevent the defenders of the city of Winteril from fleeing out of the city after defeat and reporting to Galahad. It was precisely because of Lin Hu's arrangement that a team of concealed Beichen soldiers discovered the remnants of Luo Cheng's army, which was almost completely wiped out.
When the leader of the First Association led the remnants of a thousand soldiers to the defeated general, under the leadership of the soldiers, he came to the place where Lin Hu was, and immediately saw Lin Hu.
As soon as he saw Lin Hu, the head of the association immediately burst into tears, and the more than 1,000 remnants around him also shed tears under the leadership of the association leader. They are strong warriors, and when they are faced with ambushes, when they cannot use their strength to fight back against the enemy, and in the face of existential crises, they choose to fight to the death. Countless ruthless arrows shot them and their comrades one by one. But they were still not afraid, and charged at the enemy with all their might. I just want to be able to kill an enemy and make my own death worthwhile.
It's just that the enemy occupies the right time and place, so that tens of thousands of soldiers are powerless, and they can only be completely defeated after a hard battle.
But they're all human beings, human beings with feelings. Between life and death, they did not shed tears. Now alive and safe. When I think about the brothers who died in battle, the pain in my heart immediately wells up. Tens of thousands of brothers died in the narrow valley road, and the unwillingness of those comrades-in-arms before death made all the surviving soldiers feel pain in their hearts. He didn't even see the face of the enemy, but he was killed by countless arrows. This is something that all the soldiers of the Beichen Army do not want to see, and all of them have the desire to kill a few enemies on the battlefield. Even if you can't kill too many, at least you have to change one when you die.
However, in the battle in the valley, most of the soldiers of the Beichen Army were killed by the enemy's arrows, and they did not see the appearance of the soldiers of the country where the sun never sets. How many brothers died unwillingly, and how many wept for it.
Lin Hu saw that the armor of more than 1,000 people was tattered, and the blood stains on his body had already solidified on the armor. Many of the soldiers were subjected, but they were only simply bandaged with strips of cloth. There are many people who have strips of cloth that have long since turned red and white. Obviously, this is a rout, a rout of the Beichen Army.
A Beichen army was routed by the enemy? And was it still a cavalry unit that was routed by the enemy? What the hell is going on, there should be no enemy army in this area who can stop the cavalry of the Beichen Army, right?
"What's going on? Why are you so embarrassed?" Lin Hu asked the chairman of the association very suspiciously.
The chairman of the association cried even more violently this time, and roared while crying: "General Lin, you must avenge my general!"
When Lin Hu heard what the co-chair said, he immediately felt that something big had happened in his heart. There are only a dozen generals in Beichen Kingdom, and each of them is a general in the army. The death of this general is not a trivial matter.
Seeing that these people were all riding war horses when they came, and the weapons and equipment on their bodies were also made of cavalry, they should be the cavalry troops of the Beichen Army. However, the most likely Beichen Army troops in this area are only General Luo Cheng's 100,000 light cavalry and General Ma Chao's 30,000 iron cavalry. And the ones who can be called generals are Ma Chao and Luo Cheng, could it be them?
No, it can't be, the two generals are strong in martial arts, and they definitely won't ......
Lin Hu was shocked in his heart, and continued to ask: "Quick, talk quickly!"
The chairman of the First Association cried and said: "General Qiyu, a few days ago, General Luo Cheng led 40,000 of our soldiers and horses to block the general Galahad in the valley. He also set a strategy to annihilate the enemy's 60,000 soldiers and horses in one fell swoop today. Unbeknownst to him, the enemy's commander-in-chief, Galahad, had discovered our plan in advance and prepared to retreat and escape. General Luo led us to attack ahead of schedule, only to encounter an enemy ambush in the valley. The brothers were almost wiped out, even General Luo Cheng...... Unfortunately, he also died! General Lin, you must avenge our general!"
After listening to what the chairman of the First Association said, Lin Hu was immediately shocked, and said sharply: "You mean, General Luo Cheng is dead?"
"How is this possible, how can General Luo Cheng be killed. You have 100,000 cavalry in your hands, how can you not protect General Luo Cheng! Are you all fucking dry?" After the grieving Lin Hu finished speaking, he kicked the chairman of the association and flew out.
Luo Cheng is a general who is old enough in Beichen's state-owned assets, and he is also very early than Lin Hu. In addition, Lin Hu used to work under Luo Cheng, and because of Xiao Chen's advocacy of the general harmony, the big guys drank and visited the kiln together. That feeling is not something that ordinary people can think of, and a few people will burn yellow paper and worship the handle.
Although Luo Cheng is a little arrogant in the army, it is also because of his family background and strength that are different from ordinary talents. But in the face of the generals of the Beichen Army, Luo Cheng had no arrogance at all. With a few brothers, it is bold and atmospheric, and anyone who comes has to be praised.
Now that he suddenly heard the news of Luo Cheng's death, Lin Hu suddenly felt a blockage in his heart. There was only a stream of tears that wanted to flow out, and they were also held in their eyes.
"What about General Luo Cheng's corpse?" Lin Hu calmed down the sad and indignant mood in his heart and said.
The chairman of the first association, who was kicked to the ground, immediately stood up and shouted behind him: "Brothers, please general!"
After a while, more than a dozen soldiers slowly walked out, carrying a stretcher made of branches and ropes urgently.
Luo Cheng lay quietly on the stretcher, motionless. The golden essence armor on his body was bright and bright, but there were dozens of holes on it, large and small, and you could imagine how big the armor had been attacked before. Luo Cheng, who was pale, lay peacefully, with Luo Cheng's sword and colorful divine hook spear placed on the left and right sides of him.
Lin Hu trembled and walked to Luo Cheng's side, looking at the general lying on the stretcher without moving at all, and the sadness in his heart suddenly couldn't help it anymore. In a pair of tiger eyes, tears gradually slipped down. There is a saying that men don't talk lightly when they have tears, but they don't come to sadness.
Lin Hu, who was originally reluctant to believe the news of Luo Cheng's death, couldn't help crying after seeing Luo Cheng's body again. The surrounding Beichen Army generals, officers, and non-commissioned officers also silently shed tears.
Most of the officers and men of the Beichen Army present were cavalry. As the first cavalry general of Beichen Kingdom, Luo Cheng paid a lot of effort at the beginning of the development of Beichen Kingdom's cavalry, whether it was training combat skills or leading cavalry to fight.
It can be said that as long as it is the cavalry of Beichen Kingdom, Luo Cheng cannot be forgotten, without Luo Cheng, Beichen Kingdom would not have the current cavalry scale.
Lin Hu looked at Luo Cheng's body quietly, and didn't say anything, only tears silently slipped out of his eyes. However, this was quickly suppressed by Lin Hu.
After alleviating the grief and indignation in his heart, Lin Hu said to the chairman of the First Association: "Take your men and horses and go west, I believe that you will be able to see Marshal Yue soon." Remember, protect General Luo's body on the road, if something goes wrong, the general will definitely not spare you!"
The chairman of the first association was not frightened by Lin Hu's last cruel words, but said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, if the general is disturbed when he is resting, he will wipe his neck!"
Hearing the words of the chairman of the association, Lin Hu was also a little relieved. Then, he squatted down again, looked at Luo Cheng, and said softly: "Brother! Go all the way, your revenge, the brothers will avenge you. You're in the sky, watch it......"
The head of the first association asked more than a dozen soldiers to carry Luo Cheng's body on his shoulders. Then, he said to Lin Hu: "General Lin, the last general will escort the general to see the marshal!"
Lin Hu nodded and took off the cloak on his body. Then he walked to Luo Cheng's side and put the big red cloak on top of Luo Cheng's body.
"Send the general, return to the camp!"
"No!" The chairman of the association responded firmly.
Immediately, he turned over and got on his horse, called for more than 1,000 cavalry soldiers who had been supplied to get on his horse, and went straight to the west with Luo Cheng's body.
After the head of the first association led the people to leave, Lin Hu looked at the far west, and only the heart of revenge was left in his heart.
"How is General Luo treating everyone!" Lin Hu asked softly to the dozens of generals in front of him.
Everyone glanced at each other and said in unison: "General Luo Cheng is really a hero!"
This is not wrong, there is no one in the cavalry unit of the Beichen Army who does not respect Luo Cheng. Even if the 200,000 cavalry were divided into the first cavalry army and the second cavalry army, this did not prevent the soldiers from admiring Luo Cheng. It is precisely because of Luo Cheng that Beichen Guocai has the first batch of elite cavalry. Today's early elite cavalry has now completely become middle- and low-level officers among the 200,000 cavalry, and even high-level generals.
"Okay, pass the order, after the whole army has half a pillar of incense, raid the city of Wentil! Remember, tell the brethren that there will be no prisoners and no people left in this war! Tell them that they have only one goal, and that is to avenge the general and slaughter the city!" Lin Hu's voice became louder and louder, and his tone became more and more angry.
However, this did not affect the understanding of the generals in the slightest. In less than ten minutes, the more than 40,000 cavalrymen of the entire army all received orders from their respective commanders. Slaughter the city, no one remains, only to avenge General Luo!
For a time, the whole army was extremely angry. When the news of General Luo Cheng's death on the battlefield came from the army just now, many people didn't believe it. No one wants to believe that General Luo, who is strong in martial arts and treats soldiers like a son, will die on the battlefield. It was not until the commanders of the various armies issued the military order of revenge that many soldiers had to believe the news that General Luo Da had died on the battlefield.
However, this news made the soldiers even more angry, and the hateful sun never sets. They used conspiracy and trickery to kill General Luo, which cannot be tolerated.
Tens of thousands of cavalry soldiers were angry, and there was only one belief in revenge, which became stronger and stronger, reaching the sky.
