Chapter 203 The Great War Will Begin (Part II)
After a stick of incense.
Mu Nantian was dressed in heavy armor and sat upright on a horse.
"Uncle Nantian, the generals are all ready, shall we set off immediately?" The flame wolf rode his horse to Mu Nantian's side and arched his hand.
Mu Nantian nodded, signaling that he understood.
Then, Mu Nantian took out a bamboo flute from his arms, put it to his mouth and played it gently. A melodious and crisp flute resounded throughout the East Camp.
With the sound of the flute, a heavily armed soldier ran out of the camp tent under the leadership of his general, and stood in unison in the open space behind Mu Nantian.
After the soldiers finished arraying, Mu Nantian nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it is worthy of being my Mu Nantian's soldier and worthy of being a good boy of my Blazing Empire." ”
"Brothers, do you know why I summoned you here?" Mu Nantian asked in a loud voice.
"Know! Kill the imperial capital and put down the rebellion!"
"It's good to know, but I have a good news and a bad news to tell you when I come here today, which one do you want to hear first?"
When the soldiers heard this, they chattered one after another.
It was a long time before a bold soldier shouted, "Bad, big marshal, we want to hear bad news first." ”
"The good news, the bad news is that Dec Sk has rebelled and has taken control of the palace and His Majesty Reims, and at the same time, the commander has received reliable news that Lambert of the Northern Battalion has also been moved by Deske to lead his 100,000 soldiers to participate in the rebellion. In other words, this time we will use 50,000 soldiers against 100,000 rebels who are equally equipped with our troops. ”
As soon as Mu Nantian's voice fell, the soldiers fell silent.
50,000 against 100,000, if 50,000 of the Imperial Flame Legion is against 100,000 other troops, then these elites from the Imperial Flame Legion will not be intimidated at all.
However, the current situation is that 50,000 well-trained and well-equipped Yuyan Legions are facing 100,000 equally well-trained and well-equipped rebels, and to be honest, these soldiers have no idea whether such a battle can be won.
After a long silence, the bold soldier took the lead again: "Commander, what's the good news?"
Mu Nantian smiled slightly: "The good news is that this time there are 100,000 military merits in front of us, as long as we win this battle, we can tell those ministers in the imperial capital that there can only be one Imperial Flame Legion in this Blazing Empire, and that is my brothers under Mu Nantian!"
After a pause, Mu Nantian continued: "What's more, the soldiers are raging one by one, and Ben Shuai always believes that the soldiers under my Mu Nantian will never lose to the 100,000 wastes under the soft egg of Lambert." Isn't it just 100,000 pigs, brothers, polish all the guys in your hands, and let's go into the city together to kill the enemy!
"Kill the enemy!"
"Kill the enemy!"
The emotions of the soldiers were completely mobilized by Mu Nantian, and the flame wolf quietly watched everything Mu Nantian did after gathering the soldiers, secretly admiring in his heart and at the same time beginning to sum up his experience. Because he understands that one day he will be able to be like Mu Nantian now, commanding the army to gallop across the battlefield, which is the fate of every descendant of the Yan family.
"The military heart is available. Mu Nantian said in his heart.
Immediately, Mu Nantian waved his left hand, pulled the reins with his right hand, and rushed out of the barracks first. Flame Wolf and the rest of the generals followed. And the 50,000 soldiers lined up neatly in five phalanxes, and rushed towards the capital of heaven and fire in a neat step.
......
At the same time, the other side.
Deske and Lambert led an army of 100,000 to march towards the Heavenly Fire Capital quickly, because the northern camp of the Imperial Fire Legion was not close to the Heavenly Fire Capital, so in order to be able to complete the task assigned by Oxer before dawn, Deske kept urging Lambert along the way, asking him to order the soldiers to increase their speed.
After traveling a continent like this, seeing that the north gate of the Heavenly Fire Capital was already in sight, and the soldiers under his command were all listless, Lambert finally couldn't help but speak: "Lord Zuo, now that we have arrived at the periphery of the imperial capital, for the sake of safety, I suggest that we rest in place and let the soldiers recover their strength."
In fact, it was really helpless for Lambert to make such a request, after all, he had not been in control of the northern camp of the Imperial Flame Legion for a long time, and the generals under him had a lot of complaints about him, the marshal who directly ascended to the position by virtue of his relationship.
Therefore, Lambert has been in control of the Imperial Flame Legion for so long, and his main energy is spent on how to establish a good relationship with the generals under him, and as for the training of the soldiers, it is not yet on Lambert's agenda. Therefore, since Lambert took over the North Battalion, the training of his soldiers has deteriorated day by day, and later it has even become a situation of three days of fishing and two days of drying nets.
With less training, the physical strength of the soldiers will naturally gradually decrease, and this time when Zuo Xiang arrived, it was late at night, and most of the soldiers had already gotten into the bed, and the feeling of being called up when they were sleeping was hot must not need me to say more, everyone knows.
When someone forcibly dragged out of the bed and didn't say anything, even a person who was beaten with iron would be tired, not to mention these soldiers who were only well-equipped and physically fit for a long time.
Deske naturally saw the fatigue of the soldiers, but he received a death order from Oxer, if he couldn't break through the Yan Mansion before dawn, then his fate would be really tragic.
"No, now is the time to race against time, if General Lambert doesn't want to sit on the chair in the palace so big that the soldiers can rest here, if you want to sit, please make a decision early, and if you want to do great things, General." Deske directly rejected Lambert's proposal, but feared that Lambert would be dissatisfied, so he said this.
Lambert thought about it after hearing this, and felt that what Desco said was indeed true, so he took out the seal of the commander and ordered: "Order the whole army, continue the rapid march and be sure to attack the imperial capital before the 'rebels' complete the defensive line." ”
The rebel army that Lambert said was naturally the Imperial Yan Legion led by Mu Nantian stationed in the East Camp, after all, plotting to usurp the throne is a big crime that is full of beheadings, and before he is sure how many people are willing to support him, Lambert will not be stupid to tell the truth about his operation to the generals and soldiers under him.
However, in any case, there was always a reason to send troops, so Lambert simply followed the script written by Desco and told his men that they had entered the city on the orders of Lance III to destroy the 'rebels'.
After receiving Lambert's order to continue the rapid march, except for some of Lambert's henchmen and generals who had been bought by Lambert, most of the soldiers and generals dared not speak out, so they had to store this full of complaints in their hearts.
Looking up at the moon hanging high in the sky, Deske mentally counted the time, and realized that he was running out of time. Fortunately, at Lambert's urging, the 100,000-strong army continued to march rapidly, and the vanguard had reached the north gate.
"As long as I succeed in obtaining the Four Elephant Beads, then my status in the organization will definitely rise, and at that time, I see if you dare to be arrogant in front of me. The thought of Oxer's various calls and drinks for him all this time made Deske's dissatisfaction even stronger.
After all, no matter how you say it, Deske is also a figure who has been a left-hand minister in the Blazing Empire for decades, and he has long been accustomed to the feeling of being above 10,000 people under one person, and now Oxer has regarded himself as Deske's boss as soon as he comes, which naturally makes Deske very unhappy.
Just when Deske imagined that Oxer would soon see the beautiful sight of himself to be honored as an adult, the vanguard who had arrived at the north gate of the city first suddenly panicked.
The commotion was quickly transmitted to the troops in the rear, and Lambert hurriedly shouted, "What happened?"
"Tell the marshal, the vanguard has been stopped, and according to the returning spies, the north gate has been occupied by an army. ”
"Do you see what kind of banner is being played?"
"It's a big wooden flag. ”
"What!"
Lambert was shocked when he heard this: "Mu Nantian?!! isn't he trapped in the Yan Mansion, how can he appear here?"
