When fighting a war, morale is a very important factor.

In the ancient earth, there was a saying that the defeat of the army was like a mountain, as the so-called one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, once the morale is gone, dozens of defeated soldiers are chased by one person everywhere is also a very normal thing.

In a chaotic uproar, the troops of the Bauhinia Empire went to Chalmers Province, plus the local army of Chalmers Province, a total of nearly 60,000 people, originally according to the plan, after they arrived in Chalmers Province, there would be two days of correction time, and then start a formal military operation, but no one expected that on the night of the day they arrived at their destination, something happened.

That night, a Gur death squad took advantage of the darkness of the night to unknowingly touch the army base of the Bauhinia Empire, and then suddenly attacked. After such a fuss, the army of the Bauhinia Empire, which was already worried and had no morale, immediately blew up the camp. The flames burned brightly, reflecting half of the sky red, and everywhere ran a group of panicked soldiers with bare butts, followed by their officers, and the arm-wielding Gur daredevils who kept chasing and killing.

And in the midst of this chaotic army, the supreme commander of the Bauhinia Empire's troops, who was in charge of this operation, was unfortunately shot by a stray arrow and was killed in a daze.

As the so-called snake can't do without a head, the so-called train runs fast all by the headband, when the leader dies, what kind of effort do the soldiers below follow? All of a sudden, the barracks was completely chaotic, so that many soldiers who usually had suspicions began to attack each other by taking advantage of this chaos, killing their own people, and then many deserters, all counted together, and in this night, they actually lost more than 5,000 people...... This has just reached the province of Chalmers, and he hasn't even fought a battle, so he came first with such a big rout, and even the main general was killed, such a disadvantage for the division, even many people who thought that this time would fail before did not expect it.

However, fortunately in the misfortune, by the next day, the troops were still gathered, although the combat effectiveness was close to zero, but at least the people were still ......

The commander of the army is dead, the governor of Chalmers Province is sick in bed, and the current situation in Chalmers Province is basically on the verge of collapse, like a bloated ulcer, this place, if you touch it lightly, it will hurt fiercely, and it hurts your heart.

And now, when the news came back to the ** of the Bauhinia Empire, and reached the ears of His Majesty the Emperor, who was stubborn and thought that he was omnipotent and invincible, he was shocked, and he couldn't believe such a thing, how could it be? His own army is so vulnerable. Oh my God, are these soldiers of the Bauhinia Empire under my command?

And just when almost everyone thought that such a rotten situation was almost out of control, suddenly, a savior of the empire appeared.

This general, originally just an ordinary middle-level officer in the northwest of the Bauhinia Empire in Chalmers Province, at that time, when almost everyone was anxious to think that they should defend to the death, and then wait for the rescue force to come to support, he tried his best to disagree, thinking that the current situation, if he blindly continued to defend to the death, it could only make the situation more and more unbearable, in order to save the morale of the entire army, he believed that elite troops should be sent, using the advantage in numbers, looking for a small group of Gur enemies to strike, step by step, Little by little, add up to a lot to recover the decline on the battlefield.

I have to say that his opinion is right.

In the light of the circumstances, it was absolutely correct.

However, no one supported his view at that time, and it was also at that time, because the troops were too chaotic and no one cared about him, he took his troops and began to seek an opportunity to take the initiative to fight against the Gur.

For the first time, victory.

The second time, victory.

Third, fourth......

Several times in a row, he used his numerical superiority, and even used a thousand people to fight a few people, which turned out to be alive, suppressing the soldiers' fear of the Gur tribe. Driven by him, the soldiers who had seen the enemy's legs and stomachs were a little weak all found that the Gur were not invincible, they were all flesh and blood, and they were all living people like themselves...... What's more, on their own side, there are various advantages in numbers and weapons?

Gradually, the low morale began to turn around and improve for the better, and the general, in battle, had the creation of a method of attack similar to the chemical weapons on Earth.

Smoky!

Here, we have to say a little about the way the Gur people fight.

Although they got some advantages on the battlefield, the Gur people were very few in number after all, and their weapons were not sophisticated enough, so in terms of grand strategy, they still focused on defensive counterattacks and coordinated with a small number of sneak attacks. Most of the time, the Gur people live in the deep mountains and old forests, using the advantages of the terrain to defend, the places they choose, ten are the kind of very rugged and steep mountain forest areas, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as the so-called one man is not open, the troops of the Bauhinia Empire cannot be deployed in this kind of place at all, even if the number of people is large, it is useless. There are only a few dozen or hundreds of people who are really fighting in the front, and the people in the back, no matter how anxious they are, can only wave their flags and shout.

Fueling tactics.

This is not the way the Bauhinia Empire wants to fight.

However, the people of the Gur tribe are in those places, and if they don't leave, they don't change places, it's useless to be anxious, and it's useless to get angry, and this general, this is a very old and very earthy method, which ignites several dry plants, plus the feces of several animals, and some things that will emit a pungent smell, and then throws them on the Gur position, as long as they are thrown over, these things will emit billowing smoke in a short time, choking people can't open their eyes and gasp, and cough violently, No matter how heroic and invincible you are, it is useless.

In this way, the form of the battlefield began to reverse in favor of the Bauhinia Empire, the Gur lost one position after another, and everyone began to retreat back in large areas, all the way to their last lair.

This old nest is called Eagle Head Mountain.

This is one of the most famous, steep mountain winds in the province of Chalmers.

This is the birthplace of the Gur people, the place where they consider their ancestors to be born, the holy place in their hearts, and the last bastion they have operated for the longest time and the strongest.

Eagle Head Mountain, as the name suggests, is like the shape of an eagle's head, very high and dangerous, which is not conducive to the operation of large troops at all, and heavy weapons cannot be transported at all, there is no way. Looking at the Gur people high in the mountains, the wise general had no choice, his poison gas bomb was in such an almost vertical place, there was no way to throw it up, and once it fell, then it was himself who would be hurt.

Now, it's not easy to do.

For a time, the form of the war fell into a helpless stalemate.

The Gur people can't come down from above, and the Bauhinia Empire troops below can't attack either, a month, two months, three months...... This situation has lasted for half a year, and as soon as the two sides go up and down, it is an embarrassing situation where chickens and dogs smell each other but do not get along with each other.

And for both sides, this is the most difficult situation, in the mountains, the Gur people have no way to retreat, almost run out of ammunition and food, life can be imagined, and the army under the mountain is not much better than them. It was full of dense forests, miasma, wild beasts, torrential rains, and all the dangers they had never thought of before. And the most important thing is the old problem from before - food.

In this kind of place, transporting grain is really a headache, deep in the mountains and old forests, the cart specially used to transport grain can not enter at all, can only use a small cart to transport it in little by little, or simply use people to move, the time is dragged by several times, it is simply miserable.

Give up?

If you give up now, then it will be a situation where all the previous achievements are wasted. The wise general's opinion was to continue to insist, even if he killed 1,000 enemies and lost 800 of them, he would still live and consume those Gur people to death, so as to prevent future troubles.

However, at this time, there was an amazing news from **.

Your Majesty the Emperor, you have died!

It is said that His Majesty the Emperor is very young, just succeeded to the throne for a year, and his sudden death surprised everyone, and the way His Majesty the Emperor died was also very depressing, he accidentally choked himself to death when he was eating. Its speed was so fast that people were caught off guard, and by the time the imperial physician heard the news and rushed over, His Majesty the Emperor was already pale, and he didn't breathe a little.

How else to say that his heart is higher than the sky, his life is thinner than paper, and his life is short, which is also a very important factor for him to obtain this evaluation.

As the saying goes, the country cannot be said to be without a king, because His Majesty the Emperor is too young and has no heirs, so after repeated consultations among the ministers, it was finally decided that his younger brother would take over the throne of the Emperor, and the new Emperor His Majesty was a well-known dove, and the first thing he did after ascending the throne was to send an envoy to the Gur tribe to convey a message: truce!

Peace is the eternal theme, and when this order was delivered, although there were still people who expressed opposition, there were more voices of approval and support.

This battle is too hard to fight, and it should have stopped a long time ago.

However, His Majesty the Emperor did not blindly stop fighting for the sake of armistice, and after reading the entire order, everyone knew that this so-called armistice was conditional. (To be continued.) )
