Revised Edition Volume 18 The End of the World Chapter 1 Panda Woman
The sun pierced my eyes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWhat year, month, day and place is this?
I was not allowed to wander in the sea of delusions in the fantasy world, and when everyone around me found out that I had woken up, they all rushed over and surrounded me with joy. I couldn't see people clearly for a while, but I only heard Chen Qi's triumphant voice: "I said he's okay, right?" It's just that I stay up too much at night, bask in the sun and blow the wind and sleep. ”
Why can't you rest more! I suddenly felt a little tired in my heart, but immediately began to condemn my slackness: this march did not bring cold cold, she may have given birth now, right? Everything is only on my own, and I have to decide on major matters, how can I be lazy! So he immediately sat up, closed his eyes and asked, "How long have I been asleep?" ”
"It's only been more than four hours, but it's a good night's sleep." Chen Qi bent down and grabbed my arm and asked, "Can you stand up?" ”
I nodded, and she helped me to my feet. On the way to my feet, I slowly opened my eyes. In the midst of the sharp recovery of vision, I saw the long-haired woman in the ridiculous panda-striped hospital gown again. At this time, Chen Qi suddenly asked in a low voice: "When I fell down just now, I muttered what 'May' meant, what do you mean?" ”
I'm used to lying, and I don't need to think about it at all when answering this kind of question, I just need to reflex my mouth: "I think about it a lot these days, and sometimes I like to talk to myself." It is necessary to end the Battle of Selmo as much as possible before May, and there are certain difficulties, so it is necessary to sum it up. ”
But is that really the case? Of course not.
The woman in the panda-striped hospital gown looked very similar to my lover May Nagasaki fifteen years ago! Even though the girl was only nineteen years old, and her voice and appearance had long since faded from my memory, I would never fail to recognize her if she reappeared. At this moment, the vague image in my memory quickly became concrete, so similar to the person in front of me, that I even began to wonder if it was because of some unknowable factor, my mind automatically overlaid the image of the woman in a panda hospital gown in front of me into the character of May in the depths of my memory. This suspicion frightened me and gave me a genuine sense of self-confidence.
It suddenly occurred to me that it would be much harder to control the madness of yelling in such a situation than to win the Battle of Selmo. However, after more than ten years in politics, I didn't eat white food all day, so I finally endured it, pretending not to know the situation and asking: "What's going on with that monster and a man for a while?" ”
"I've asked you pretty much all the time you've been sleeping." Chen Qi beckoned to the panda girl and asked her to come over: "It's really surprising that it turned out to be Nagasaki Shizuwei, the leader of the Swordsman Regiment." She said that there is a very important military situation and she needs to report to you immediately. ”
My heart clenched hard, and many of my old doubts now seemed answered, but even more confusing: What was going on? But now that Chen Qi is on the side, she can't let her see anything. I nodded and said, "Got it, you all stand down." ”
Hong Lei Dong and the other guards walked away one by one, only Chen Qi had no consciousness that he should also go away. I had to specially remind her that she should avoid this kind of secret in a funny way, which made Chen Qi very unhappy and walked away, probably there will be no more delicious food for me tonight. But now is obviously not the time to think about this, as soon as Chen Qi left, my eyes never left the panda girl's face. She didn't seem to be aware of this, walked forward slowly, knelt down on one knee and gave me the highest military salute of the Mowgli Army, and said: "General, I am finally looking forward to your return, and my subordinates are really grateful, and words can't!" ”
Mommy's! I immediately became angry in my heart, and said coldly: "I've been practicing here for more than a year, and I don't know what rotten people have learned so badly, and my mouth can be so slippery!" ”
The panda girl knew that she couldn't wash me, so she smiled and stood up, and said, "At least half of it is sincere." I have always missed you......"
I immediately retorted: "Am I dead?" Need you to miss? ”
The panda girl was also on fire: "Huang Er, did you come all the way to quarrel with me?" ”
That's right, okay, that's back to the normal atmosphere of the conversation. I smiled, sat her down, and sighed, "There are so many questions I want to ask you, I don't know where to start." First of all, what should I call you? ”
"What's so strange about this, it's not like you haven't seen my appearance change." The panda girl fussed and said, "You don't want to call me 'Her Royal Highness the Princess' when you see me like a rainbow rotten person, right?" ”
I whispered, "What's the matter with your current appearance?" ”
The panda girl, who has always claimed to despise people by their appearance, is in fact the most concerned about her own appearance, and as soon as she heard me say this, she immediately became alarmed, and her tone changed: "When did you start to care so much about my personal problems?" ”
Avoiding answers? My heart was on fire, and I asked sharply, "Why is this happening?" ”
The panda girl actually got angry at me: "I don't know, that's it when you wake up, you don't like it, I can change it immediately." It's just that a guy like you who judges people by their looks can't get used to my ugly appearance, so you have to give me some time to become more beautiful! ”
I would not be intimidated by her and asked in an oppressive tone, "What if I call you 'May'?" ”
The panda girl looked thoughtful, and after a while she asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"Don't you know? So how could there be that picture? What is your relationship with the person in the photo? ”
The panda girl looked up to the sky, her face expressionless, and she didn't know what she was thinking. After a long while, he said, "You are only allowed to call me Jingwei, and I won't take care of you if you call the others, and I will do what I say." ”
Only then did I realize that I seemed to be chasing her too hard, which made her a little unhappy, so I had to take a step back and say, "What I just said, I am not in a hurry, and I will talk about it in detail when I have time." But for more than a year, do you really miss me? ”
Jing Wei said coldly: "Originally, there were still some feelings and nostalgia between comrades-in-arms, subordinates and superiors, but now they are gone. I don't want to say anything more to you. ”
The lizard panda girl is really weird, and it's really not easy to clean up. The guards dispersed, but they did not go far. Seeing that it is not a way to pull her down on this beach, it's just a matter of personal affairs, since you can't talk about private matters, let's talk about business. I immediately shouted, "Colonel Jingwei, the head of the Swordsman Regiment, immediately report the battle situation in the past year!" ”
It wasn't until noon that Jingwei and I left the beach one after the other. Chen Qi lay in the tent and sulked and slept, and didn't cook for me, so I went to eat some casual battle food with Hong Leidong and the others, and then invited Hong Wushuang over. Hong Wushuang is Hong Zhifeng's cousin, and he has no blood relationship with Hong Xiang. This tall and picturesque little girl was only twenty years old, and she had been called into the Taiyan Army for only two years, and she had already been known as a martial artist throughout the army. It is said that she easily passed the assessment of the sixth-level god general, and she probably has the strength of the seventh-level. In terms of personal quality, I am afraid that he is the best in this batch of Taiyan army. I only watched a contest between her and Hongda and began to wonder: why is there so many beautiful but ruthless girls in the heavenly realm? It's really puzzling and deplorable.
I got straight to the point and said, "Will you have confidence to end the Battle of Selmo before May?" ”
Hong Wushuang glanced at me and replied, "General, you should ask Jiang Xu this question." We are all under his control, which you have commanded with your own mouth. ”
"The situation has changed in front of me, and I have to intervene in some specific arrangements." I mused, "What do you think if the Battle of Selmo must be ended by May?" ”
"If we can accept the result of turning the current 100,000 troops into corpses that fill the surface of Selmo Island, the assault will probably work, after all, there are many of us." Hong Wushuang said: "If you rely on the large number of people to attack the north and south immediately, it may not be a good choice. Once the Feria army knew that the back road was cut off, they would definitely jump over the wall in a hurry. Now they are not short of equipment and supplies, but I am afraid that in a short period of time, their combat effectiveness will increase dramatically, and if that happens, it will cause us unnecessary losses. I think it's best to keep besieging the Redstone Garden and wait for the right moment. The fortress of Selmo has been taken, and Coulson's army has nowhere to go and no supplies to speak of, and we must wait until they are hungry to find bark to gnaw on, and the fight will be easy. ”
I asked, "When will they be as hungry as you want?" ”
Hong Wushuang was a little impatient, and replied word by word: "Please. Go. Ask. River. Rising sun. ”
Jiang Xu's side is in a serious stalemate with Coulson, fighting one day at a time. The first two days of fighting were quite fierce, and the latter was quite perfunctory, and both sides were unwilling to consume a large number of troops in vain, and were waiting for the moment when the other side could not support it first. However, as the days and nights continue to be consumed, the difference in the logistical supply capabilities of the two sides is reflected. With the rapid increase in the combat experience of Jiang Xu's troops and the rapid decline in the intensity of the Coulsen army's attacks, the number of casualties in the human army has greatly decreased, and the wounded have also been properly cared for, and more than half can continue to fight. And all the Ferias, including Coulson, never seemed to have had the concept of rescuing the wounded, so its attrition efficiency quickly surpassed Jiang Xu's army. I asked the chief hate about Feria's custom of not saving the wounded, and he expressed incomprehension: "What can be cured of those machine-made slave soldiers with low intelligence?" It doesn't cost us our own money to build them, and we can directly report the amount of consumption to the General Headquarters and ask for reconstruction. Of course, if it is a nobleman, it will still be saved. ”
It can be seen that the free lunch is always not cherished, it is the same everywhere.
On the evening of 12 April, Jiang Xu's counts of troops and came up with the figure that 6,700 were killed, 6,400 were wounded, and 9,200 of the Coulsen Army were eliminated. The Kappa artillery shells were all gone, and it was no longer possible to create a mass damage effect with zero losses. Most of Coulson's troops were stationed in Redstone Garden, and only a few remained outside to camp, which shows how shrunken the squad was. He really couldn't think of any good way to deal with these human troops who were as difficult as hedgehogs, so he had to send more than thirty Sermoferian noble officers who had been rescued to Sermo Fortress for treatment. Before leaving, it suddenly remembered that the messenger seemed to have returned a little late, but it didn't really care. Upon their arrival at the Fortress of Selmo, the noble wounded regiment was rightfully subjected to the tragic fate of sheep and wolves, and none of them were spared. It took a week for Coulson to notice that something was wrong when neither the courier nor the noble wounded had returned, leaving 3,000 soldiers to hold on to the Redstone Gardens and gallop back to Fortress Selmore with the remaining 15,000 troops.
After half a month's rest, the human army of Fortress Selmo was at a time when morale was high. However, I don't want them to lose too much, so I only let Hong Wushuang and Jing Wei each bring fifteen hundred demon swordsmen to fight. The two elite troops advanced unhindered like two sharp knives, and in less than half an hour, they advanced more than 500 meters in Coulson's army, directly approaching Coulson's army. But Coulson still didn't pay too much attention - he was hurt by Jiang Xu's neat army of hedgehogs, although the two forces in front of him were powerful, after all, there were not many of them, and they would probably get tired soon. His army is five times the total number of these two forces, and it is a big deal to surround it layer by layer, and it is really impossible to transfer the headquarters to the headquarters. His eyes were on Fort Selmo. Presumably to allow the two assault forces to return quickly, the gates of the fortress remained open. Coulson calculated the distance for a while, and pulled out the five thousand Feria soldiers of the two outer brigades that surrounded Jingwei and Rainbow Wushuang on both flanks and lined up to recuperate, obviously about to charge the fortress.
Sitting on the walls of the fortress and watching the battle, I said without looking back, "Chief, it's time for you to show your loyalty. ”
Although I had my own reasons to believe in the purity and honesty of the Long Haters, none of the senior officers below me believed in how faithful and reliable the Blackwater Feria Army could be. I said it so badly, they agreed to let Chang Hatian bring a small army into battle to see, the symbolism is greater than the practical significance. When Chang Hatian led the 2,000 Blackwater Feria Army to regroup, the 1st and 3rd Divisions of Army A and the 28th Division of the Taiyan Army were all casually watching. Using 50,000 troops to monitor these 2,000 Feria troops is really too much to hate. Chang hated the sky and looked at them very uncomfortable, roared angrily, and rushed out with two thousand men and horses.
Coulson's assault troops were stunned when they saw the long-hated troops. They knew that when the fortress of Selmo was taken away, they cried and cursed the shameless human beings for stealing their inheritance by despicable means, and they all made up their minds to die and take it back to their homeland. But what about the oncoming Feria army? Could it be that the troops who were detained and imprisoned by humans are rioting at this time? But anyway, you don't have to rush over with a scythe in a fighting stance......
The two sides are getting closer and closer, and seeing that the situation is not right, the captains of the Coulson Army reacted one after another, shouting: "Fight, fight!" But it was too late. The Kursen soldiers at the front still didn't react, so they charged the Blackwater Feria Army on their backs. Although Coulson's siege forces immediately began to resist on the spot, the betrayal of the Blackwater Feria Army undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to their morale, and the initially high determination to fight to the death immediately vanished.
"Chang Hatian didn't lie, his troops are really quite strong." I pointed to the battlefield below on the city wall and said to Chen Qi: "Despite the morale factor, it can still be seen that the fighting quality of the Blackwater Feria Army is much stronger than that of the Sermo Feria Army. At first, I was going to let him rush back and let the 1st Division go out for a decisive battle, but now it seems unnecessary. ”
Sure enough, it was unnecessary. In less than ten minutes, the 5,000 Coulsen troops besieging the city had killed and wounded more than half of the Long Haters' troops, and many soldiers began to retreat and flee. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted "Coulson has been beheaded!" ”
The shouter was a female voice, full of energy, and in an instant, it resounded in every corner of the battlefield. After shouting a few times, he shouted in stiff Feria. Immediately, someone drew a spear into the sky in the chaos and carried a bloody head on it. The nest immediately exploded on the battlefield. Some of Coulson's cronies immediately turned red and frantically rushed towards the Rainbow Musou troops who had succeeded in the assault, but most of the Sermoferian army was in a state of flux. I immediately called the chess player to give an order: "Give Hong Wushuang and Jingwei a banner and let them all withdraw." Let Chang Hate Tian immediately recruit the Coulson Army! ”
The long-hated shouts made the Coulson army even more confused. After a while, the Sermoferian army, which had begun to be divided into twos, abandoned the scythe and came over in frustration to surrender, and a small number of those who had no knowledge of the battle in Redstone Garden began to turn south, while most of them stood still. While leaving a small number of soldiers to surrender, Chang Hate Tian led the team to pounce on the remnants of Coulson, who were attacking Hong Wushuang and Jing Wei. At the same time, someone sent back to report: "Give me some more manpower, and I will be able to take them down!" ”
Senior military officers remained unanimously opposed. Who knows if the long-hated sky will be against the water again? I rejected public opinion and sent another 5,000 troops to Chang Hatetian. At this time, the battle outside the fortress was chaotic, and if the worst happened, the remnants of Coulson's army would be counterattacked, and there would be more people than Coulson had when he first arrived. In addition, the remnants of Feria in the fortress should be combined with the outside world, although there are many of us, we will be quite passive, and no one will be spared from the demon swordsman team outside the city. It seemed that everyone was sweating for this, and even Chen Qi pulled me and asked in a low voice, "Are you really sure?" ”
I shook her hand and said, "Mixed in this position, I still have a little bit of ability to recognize people, don't worry." ”
At this time, the Demon Swordsmen had reached the limit of their physical strength and will, and they were still struggling with one breath. After several clashes with the Feria army, the opponent also noticed their weakness, so they avoided the blade and slammed into them with only their heavy bodies. The human body is too far away from the Ferian soldiers, as long as it is really hit, it will be knocked away immediately. If the high-vibration particle knife is taken out again, it will basically have no ability to fight back. Hong Wushuang led the team to attack the Coulson Chinese Army and took Coulsen's head, but it provoked a crazy retaliation attack by more than 3,000 henchmen of the Coulsen Chinese Army, and he never went to the end. Jing Wei easily opened a way to join forces with Hong Wushuang, but it was still difficult to break through the Coulson Guards who were besieging them layer by layer. Just when the demon swordsmen were gradually unable to support it, the Long Hate Heaven led the Black Water Feria Army, which had more than 6,000 people after the merger, to kill it. The Blackwater Feria Army was fierce, and the Coulson Guard, despite their red-eyed killings, could not survive two rounds under their onslaught, and the tide of battle was quickly turned around.
Seeing this opportunity, my side hurriedly raised the flag to let Jing Wei and Hong Wushuang lead the team to retreat, and ordered the first and third divisions of Army A of the Nebuchu Front to attack. Two armies poured out of the fortress of Selmo and marched down the city, and it was truly imposing. Unfortunately, their symbolism was far greater than practical: after receiving reinforcements, the Sermoferian soldiers who were standing and wavering in place began to surrender one after another. After he charged a few times, Coulson's henchmen were in ruins, and there was practically nothing left to fight. It's just that after these two divisions came out, the surrender speed of those Feria troops riding the wall was significantly accelerated, which shows that momentum can act as a catalyst to some extent.
At dusk on April 27, the cleaning of the battlefield in front of Fort Selmo was almost over. On April 3, Coulson took more than 29,000 men from the fortress, and only 15,000 returned to fight, of which more than 5,000 were destroyed, more than 7,000 surrendered, and about 2,000 fled south. However, that night, Jiang Xu led the southern landing force to the Selmo Fortress. The 3,000 Sermoferian troops trapped in the Red Stone Garden naturally didn't have enough for him to eat, and the 2,000 soldiers who fled to the south in a panic could only encounter Jiang Xu on the narrow road with swamps and mountains on both sides, and they could only count their fate. Jiang Xu didn't even change the speed of the march for them, only let the vanguard troops move forward with their spears in their hands. As a result, the remnants of the 2,000 Sermoferian army were scattered more than expected, and most of them did not even touch the tip of Jiang Xujun's spear, so they squeezed their panicked companions into the swamp.
After Jiang Xu led the team to arrive, he came directly to me to report. Without resting, he rushed to me in the dust and said loudly: "General, the southern landing force has put a total of 50,000 people, and now it has brought 36,000 people to the fortress, please instruct!" ”
"You've lost a lot there." I sighed slightly: "But your burden is much heavier than ours here, and you have fought many evil battles, but you have not lost money." Simba is not wrong, I think you can already be on your own. ”
When Jiang Xu heard me say this, he was immediately overjoyed, but he still pretended to be modest, and said two sentences, "It is an insignificant achievement under the wise leadership of the general" Yunyun, I will take it as his fart. He waved his hand and said, "Selmo has decided, your initial strategic plan has been successful, what is the next step?" ”
Jiang Xu took out a thick stack of materials like magic: "Back to the general, my subordinates have been concentrating on research these days, and have formulated a relatively complete set of plans for army establishment and promotion, please take a look at it." ”
I nodded, took the materials but didn't look at them, and asked directly, "Hmm, is it going to be reformulated?" I finally have a plan for this thing that I have entrusted you with. How did the Celestial Army deal with it? ”
"Treat everyone equally, but do not split, each performs its own duties, commands its own troops, and manages separately." Jiang Xu replied: "Among them, I am afraid that the political factors will outweigh the military factors, and the subordinates propose that all officers at or above the division level be removed from their posts and punished, and after submitting them to the general for approval, they are advised to appoint other suitable personnel." ”
I bowed my head slightly and said, "For now." I don't want to read it, but the reorganization can then proceed, and I will do as you wrote. And then what? ”
"Now that the first large-scale land attack has been successful, it is recommended that the general order the global military management level be raised and the offensive should be formally treated as an all-out war. If the Ovimas shogunate also moves, it will naturally be good for the war, but ......"
"You don't have to worry about the rest of the 'but', and you don't have to worry about it." I shook my head, pinched my fingers and calculated, "The current Earth time should be the end of 3078, close to 3079. It's been a year since we set out on the expedition! Presumably, the rear has a certain amount of accumulation preparations, and increasing troops is not a problem. Overmars will rush here, he is definitely not the kind of person who is comfortable waiting for the fruits of victory in Parliament, I understand him. ”
"The subordinates believe that the second batch should invest more than 800,000 people!" Jiang Xu boldly said: "A mere Selmo Island is nothing, and there are no other reinforcements, so the scale and level of fighting here cannot be reflected!" The general can only look at the example of Blackwater Feria, what a strong tribe, but because of the serious weakening of the combat effectiveness of the long sea journey, they can only bow to our knees. Once we enter the mainland of the Musku Continent, we will not face such a straightforward and simple battle, it is likely that the battle lines as dense as spider webs will be staggered, and it will not be possible to have fewer people. Now that we have Chang Hate Tian as a guide, it will be very beneficial to our attack, and I hope that there will be 800,000 follow-up troops, which will still cooperate at the current ratio, that is, 400,000 human troops and 400,000 celestial troops. After the reinforcements arrived, they tried to take a strategic coastal point on the continent of Mascu within three months. Specific operational objectives and deployments must be considered only after being instructed by the general. ”
"800,000 ...... Can you manage it? I said slowly, "In the past two days, the 60,000 men in this fortress have knocked me unconscious!" ”
Jiang Xu looked at me with a smile and replied, "My subordinates eat this bowl of rice, and they don't have the strength not to say that." ”
"Okay, I'm not going to play dumb riddles with you. Your suggestion is good, but dismissed. ”
"Why?"
"Because of the new situation. Regiment Commander Jing Wei reported that her unit has been conducting guerrilla operations in Mascu for more than a year, and has achieved remarkable results. Now Feria's civilian logistics have been severely hit, but the size of the army is expanding rapidly, and it is presumably that even food will soon become a problem. In this case, I don't think there is any need to fight hard with them, and the original policy of army building can be changed to some extent. ”
Jiang Xu stared at me with an urgent gaze and asked, "How to change?" ”
"Your integration report could be revised a little. My intention is to divide the troops into three levels: A, B, and C. The equipment of the C level is basically the same as the equipment of our landing force this time, the second level is equipped with the demon swordsman suit, and the first level is promoted from the meritorious B unit, all equipped with air cushion motorcycles. The difference in the main combat equipment is basically like this, and you can make up the details yourself. Then, the goal of the next batch of additional troops is to convert all the current troops into Class B troops, and some of the units with outstanding merits, such as the meritorious troops in the Battle of Red Stone Garden, can be promoted to Class A troops. The goal in the future is not necessarily to have as many people as originally planned, but to focus on elite troops, and in principle, to build fewer C-level troops and to build the army on the basis of B-level troops as much as possible. Jiang Xu, transporting millions of soldiers, the fuel freight of the fleet is also enough, these must be considered. ”
"The general's policy of elite soldiers naturally has its truth, but his subordinates are a little unclear." Jiang Xu said: "We have already talked about this issue when we were on the main star, the issue of cost! The lack of numbers to win a war can be made up for by the superiority in equipment, training and morale, but the land is the most just and selfless, and it is impossible for us to occupy a hundred square kilometers of land with one soldier. Without enough men, we can capture the most important strongholds of Feria, and it is impossible to capture the entire territory and make them subjugate. And if we recruit so many troops with the equipment of the second legion, we will go bankrupt. ”
"This is another piece of news brought by Captain Jingwei, in addition to the 'Three Lights and Four Cleans' of the villages and towns of Feria in the Mascu Continent, she has also carried out activities on several other continents and large islands on the planet Nebuchu, and has made contact with the indigenous people. Most of the indigenous races were willing to work together to overthrow Feria's rule, and all they needed to do was give them the necessary armaments. The strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf is better than ours of transporting millions of people from a distance of 100,000 light years to shed blood and die here, right? In other words, we don't need to call up a few million people, maybe a few tens or a million in total. This amount should be able to be equipped with all B-level and above equipment. ”
Jiang Xu opened his mouth wide, and it took a long time before he muttered: "It is difficult for subordinates to confirm the feasibility of this matter. As far as I know, the natives are really not considered to be more effective than the Feria army. ”
"Even when you set out, Simba didn't confirm that this retro unit would be able to achieve ultimate success, so we're going to look forward." I smiled: "Isn't it more rewarding for my subordinates to drive hundreds, tens of millions, of bizarre indigenous armies to exterminate the enemy than to drive their compatriots to their deaths?" ”
The matter was thus discussed. On the one hand, I sent a note to the global parliament and Overmars asking for more troops, and on the other hand, I ordered Jiang Xu to begin to reorganize the army, review the gains and losses of the Battle of Selmo, and evaluate the merits of the battle. Jiang Xu was promoted to lieutenant general by leapfrogging because of his meritorious service in planning strategy and commanding the battle, and served as the commander of the forward corps of the Nebuchu Front. The rest of the generals also have their own rewards, but I specifically criticized Hong Wushuang, and she was not very happy about it, but after all, she was not my minister, and I blamed her for two sentences but I couldn't directly control her, it seems that she didn't take it too seriously. I can't help but have a slight headache about this situation: the alliance with Taeyan and the Mowgli Army is only based on high-level mutual trust and exchanges, but there is no absolute dominance from the top down. Although most generals obey me, it will be difficult to deal with someone like Hong Wushuang, and I hope that there will be a way to cure people like her in the future. (To be continued.) )
