165 Two officers who narrowly escaped death

The first battle of the Second Continental War, from the beginning of the first phase of the Desik attack on June 4, to the early morning of June 7, the Dunkirk Bridge defense line was broken through, in just three days, the so-called impregnable Grand Canyon defense line built by the Nine Nations Business Alliance was lost, although only the Dunkirk Bridge was lost for the time being, but a steady stream of Desik soldiers who came across the bridge told the officers of the Business Alliance that this was the real point of attack they chose.

According to the records of the battlefield clerk, in the early morning of June 7, the battlefield situation of the Grand Canyon defense line was as follows: the mercenaries of the Shang Alliance defended the Conjoined Bridge defense line, the Highland Bridge and the Lowland Bridge, and at the same time suffered a frantic attack by five regiments of the Desik Army. The two regiments of Wasteland Warriors teleported to the rear of the line by dark magic were behind the frantic attack on the mercenaries of the Merchant Alliance, and the more than 5,000 people of the New Second Army and the 4,000 members of the New Fifth Army mobilized according to General Pierre's orders had just arrived at the Siamese Bridge battlefield and were fiercely attacking the back of the Wasteland Warrior Regiment. This conjoined bridge defense line was stirred into a pot of stewed porridge.

In the southernmost areas of the vicinity of the Hetou Bridge and the Kinmen Sluice, there has not been much fighting, and it has been calm since a few days ago, so the New Fifth Army is currently only left here with 5,000 men to guard against a possible attack.

The northernmost Dunkirk Bridge is more critical. It took three hours for the Deshik to completely defeat the Desik defenders, slaughtering the defenders in the bridgehead fortress, and the remnants had to flee south under the leadership of the new second army's adjutant general. Desik sent several squads of rangers to drive away the Merchant Allies, while the main force began to build makeshift fortifications a mile behind the bridgehead fortress.

The news of Dunkirk, along with the fleeing soldiers, finally reached the mouth of General Pierre, the commander of the mercenary forces of the Shang Alliance, looking at the adjutant general of the New Second Army who was embarrassed in front of him and the dozens of soldiers of the New Second Army who also escaped death, General Pierre's face suddenly turned red, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word, but the commander of the Albert regiment next to him, he roared and grabbed the collar of the adjutant general: "What did you say! The Dunkirk Bridge position was lost like this?"

The adjutant general cried with a sad face, "No way, Legion Commander, we only have three thousand tired soldiers, and the Desiks who rushed up are tens of thousands. And, for some reason, when the Desiks attacked, the fortress of the bridge was suddenly shrouded in black mist, and our archers couldn't see anything clearly, and the crossbow didn't know where to shoot at all. ”

Hearing the adjutant general's words, Commander Albert slowly let go of his hand holding the collar, he glanced back at General Pierre in confusion, and the general sighed in a low voice, "Sure enough, you also appeared there." ”

"General, what now?" asked several senior officers nearby.

At this time, the battle situation on the side of the Siamese Bridge began to gradually become clear, and the mercenaries of the Shang Alliance gradually gained the upper hand. With the assistance of the New Second Army and the New Fifth Army, including the rear team of the mercenaries of the Shang Alliance, they surrounded the thousands of wasteland warriors who had entered the battle from three directions.

These wasteland warriors are extremely fearless of death, even if they are seriously injured, they have to drag a merchant soldier to die together, thousands of people, turning the rear team of the merchant alliance mercenaries upside down. After the new second army and the new fifth army finally entered the battle, these thousands of people were gradually wiped out. At the bridgehead fortress of the Siamese Bridge, the Desik offensive force of the five regiments was also exhausted and had to temporarily retreat, and the bridgehead defense line was finally stabilized.

General Pierre was extremely angry, looking at the small number of Desik Wasteland warriors who were still stubbornly resisting when they were surrounded, "Send the archers over and kill not a single one." The bridgehead line left a regiment of vigilant forces, and the others, immediately assembled. ”

"Commander, this?" said Chief of Staff Berente looked at General Pierre quizzically.

"This line of defense is no longer possible. The area of the Wulian Bridge is originally a complete line of defense, and without Dunkirk, the whole line of defense will not be complete at all", General Pierre sighed, "Gather the rest of our army and go to the Verdun area in the west, where we can organize another line of defense, relying on the Lens Mountain." The Verdun area is the last barrier to the northwest of Manning. If this barrier is lost, the entire Manning Kingdom and White Harbor will be exposed to Desik's edge. ”

Pierre glanced at the battlefield not far away, the last of the wasteland warriors had all died under the crossbows, and the battle for the Siamese Bridge defense line was basically over. "Albert", Pierre turned to the commander of the new 2nd Army, "you personally take your scout team to see the situation in the direction of Dunkirk, in my judgment, the Desik should not expand the front, they are probably consolidating the bridgehead." When they are completely established, they will definitely burn the flames of war in the territory of the Shang Alliance. ”

"Yes, General Pierre!" said Albert, with a military salute, climbed on his horse, and hurried north.

"Also, Birant, you quickly send a message to the headquarters of the Merchant Alliance, report the situation here truthfully, let the Merchant Alliance prepare early, and then, the bridge in the north can be destroyed if it can be destroyed, we can't waste too many troops there. ”

General Pierre's guess was not wrong, after learning that the Dunkirk Bridge was taken, De Sick's soldiers rushed to the stone bridge from all directions, and the bridgehead position quickly expanded to an area of five kilometers in length and width, here, De Sik established a huge bridgehead position, a large number of military supplies and soldiers, all through this bridge, into the territory of the Shang League, General Florian, came to the position in high spirits, and the huge cheers resounded over the Grand Canyon.

Near the Grand Canyon on the north side of the bridge, a row of dozens of Desik soldiers were using horse-drawn carts and carts to carry the piles of corpses to the side of the Grand Canyon. These corpses will be thrown directly into the Grand Canyon at a height of several hundred grams, and then decompose and disappear at the bottom of the valley. The group of Desik soldiers had been working for a long time, and as night fell, everyone was packing up their tools and preparing to return to the camp, only the last soldier was still grinding, and there were about twenty corpses in the carriage in front of him.

The companions all drove the carriage back, disappearing behind the small gentle slope in front of them, and the sight of the twenty corpses, stumps and blood on the carriage made the Desik soldier feel depressed. But there is no way, who made them miscellaneous servants in the army, this kind of thing can only be done by them. Moreover, the medical officer from Baiyan City also said that if the corpse is not disposed of, it will cause various diseases.

The soldier moved a corpse, then dragged it to the edge of the canyon and kicked it down. The corpse floated down in the air for a while, and after a long time, a sound of "Peng" was heard, and the corpse's last existence in the world disappeared. The soldier turned around, went to the car to take another one, dragged it to the edge of the Grand Canyon and put it away, and then kicked it, and the body flew out of the canyon, and after a long time, there was a "Peng" sound.

After the soldier threw five corpses, he was a little tired, he sat down and rested for a while, and then stood up for a long time, dragged the next corpse, also dragged to the edge of the Grand Canyon, put it up, raised his right foot, and swung his leg hard, one kick.

Then, the soldier suddenly felt a strong force grabbing his feet, his heart was stunned, and he looked down, only to see that a "corpse" wearing the uniform of the Shang Alliance actually opened his eyes!

"What!" the Desik soldier had time to let out an exclamation, when he realized that the hand that grabbed his leg was so hard that he lost his balance, howled and fell down the cliff.

The "corpse" on the ground was the leader of the Oude squadron of the New Second Army of the Shang League, who was knocked unconscious on the battlefield, buried in the pile of dead, and was unconscious for a long time, until the Nadesik soldiers dragged themselves just now, and he woke up in a moment. The soldier had no idea that such a thing would happen, and without noticing, he was thrown into the Grand Canyon by Ode. Fortunately, he was the only one left at this time, otherwise Oude would definitely be in trouble.

Ou De, who got up, looked around, there was a carriage not far away, most of the cars were the corpses of Shang Alliance soldiers, looking at the wounds and blood on their bodies, Ou De knew that in this battle, Shang Meng lost.

After tidying up the tattered armor on his body, Ode picked up a broken steel knife from the pile of corpses and played it a few times, it was not easy to use, but it was better than using his bare hands. Suddenly, the pile of corpses, I don't know why, actually moved by itself, Oude was startled, and then took a step back.

The corpse moved a few times and then didn't move, and Oude just wanted to step forward, but the pile of corpses moved a few more times, which was extremely weird. Finally, the pile of corpses was completely lifted, and a "corpse" wearing a Desik military uniform sat up, "You don't have to be so nervous, it's just the two of us here, I can't move anyway, I see that your injuries are not light, and I guess you can't move." Why don't you put down the knife and let's talk. Surprisingly, the corpse began to speak.

The Desik who sat up in the pile of dead people was naturally old Kane, he hid in the pile of dead people, escaped death, and he fainted from hunger and exhaustion, and was also transported to the Grand Canyon as a dead body, and just woke up to witness the moment when Ode threw the Desik soldiers down the canyon.

But somehow, Old Kane was not too hostile to the merchant soldier opposite, "Get to know me, my name is Kane, you can call me Old Kane, I am a battalion captain in Desik, the battle is over, I don't want to fight anymore, put down your weapons." ”

Looking at the other party's kind face, Ou De suddenly found that he couldn't lift the steel knife a little, and there seemed to be a force that forced him to drop his weapon, "My name is Ou De, and I am a squadron leader of the New Second Army of the Shang Alliance. ”

The old Kane on the other side smiled, "Okay, Captain Ode, we know each other, then, we should celebrate the escape." ”

Captain Oude was speechless.

In the sky, several flamingos are flapping their wings vigorously, and not far as their eyes can see, a magnificent port city is revealing its glory. The people in the city are living peacefully, and some people look up and see a few black spots on the horizon, and then lower their heads to do their own thing. They didn't know how shocking the news from the flamingos was.
