The earth-shattering war drums should beat the ground with the heavy and uniform footsteps of the warriors, and seem to beat in people's hearts. The impassioned beat of the drums stirred the blood of the warriors, and their steps became more and more vigorous, as if they were about to trample the earth.

General Villeneuve, dressed in military uniform, looked at his soldiers with pride and pride on his face. Today, for the first time, he put on that dazzling blood-colored robe, coupled with the armor that was shining with golden light, which seemed to be more crafts than armor, and General Villeneuve looked majestic and radiant at this moment.

"These are the best boys!" he shouted to the guard beside him. The soldiers passing by listened to this, and raised their heads even more, and walked louder.

But when General Villeneuve returned to the tent and took off the cloak, his slightly frowning eyebrows still revealed the gloom in his heart at the moment.

"General, I see that you are worried about the invading Northern Army?" the adjutant who had been following him for many years took the cloak and asked.

General Villeneuve sighed, "If it weren't for the sake of boosting the morale of the army, why would I wear such a conspicuous cloak and armor, I am a live target on the battlefield." ”

"But the effect is still obvious, now the military spirit is available, and the morale is high. ", complimented the adjutant.

General Villeneuve nodded, "It's a good thing that morale is high, but it also shows that these soldiers lack combat experience and don't have a normal heart. They have been guarding the border for a long time, and they have never really fought against the northern army, so naturally they have no actual combat experience. And that's what I'm most worried about, the Northern Army has been preparing for war all year round, and has fought against the dark elves many times, and has rich combat experience, and morale alone can't defeat them. ”

"That's why I'm wearing this outfit, so that if there is a slight defeat in battle, and when the morale of the army is shaken, the soldiers can clearly know that I am with them. In this way, the morale will not collapse, and the position will be stabilized. ”

"It's right to think about defeat before you win, but you're also thinking too much. If the two armies fought fiercely on the plains, we might not be the opponent of the Northern Army, but it would be no problem to hold the city. Isn't that why you have given up the rich Xinlan City in favor of the Shining City, which is close to the Shenghui River?"

"Yes, although I can't stand the people of Xinlan City, I have no choice but to do it. It's just that I don't know what the adults in the military department will think of me when this matter reaches Shenghui City. General Villeneuve's face was very solemn.

"Glorious City is stuck on the way south to Shenghui City, and if the northern army wants to reach Shenghui City, it must capture Guangyao City. As long as you hold Glorious City and resist the offensive of the Northern Army, it will naturally be a great achievement. In the opinion of the military department, those big people in Shenghui City will not care, and His Majesty will not care. ", the adjutant analyzed.

General Villeneuve nodded and said, "You can see it thoroughly, as long as I hold the Shining City, I will be a great hero of the kingdom, and a little slander will not damage my reputation." ”

"While the northern army has not yet arrived, you will lead your troops to sweep around the city tomorrow, and if there are still rebel forces, they will all be killed and left alive!", as if thinking of something, General Villeneuve instructed, his words were full of blood and energy.

"These rebels are naturally a disease of lichen for our Northern Army, so don't care. However, these nobles who colluded with the rebels are our henchmen. They will sell the specific information and geographical location of Glorious City to the Northern Army, and will also provide food and grass support for the Northern Army, although it is inconspicuous, it will play a big role. ”

"The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an anthill, and we must not be careless. ”

The adjutant nodded, "Yes, General, I'll go and arrange the ban on the whole city later, and I will lead my troops out of the city tomorrow to ensure that there are no rebel forces around the entire Guangyao City." ”

"Hmm. General Villeneuve pondered for a moment and continued: "We can only win this battle, not lose it. If you win, you will be high, and you will leave your descendants, and if you lose, you will die and your reputation will be ruined, and your family will be implicated. Be cautious and prepared. ”

"Then go and gather all the rich and famous people in the city at once, and I will talk to them personally. If it is really unfavorable to defend the city at that time, we will organize the young and middle-aged people of the whole city to defend the city together! If the northern army wants to conquer this glorious city, it will have to kill all the people in the city!", said General Villeneuve viciously.

"I'm just afraid...... They won't say yes easily. ”

"If I do fail, do I need to worry about them? General Villeneuve patted the sword on his waist and smirked.

The adjutant nodded understandingly, and hurriedly left the big tent to set it up.

General Villeneuve stayed in the tent and muttered to himself: "The art of war is cloudy: ten are to surround it, and five to attack it." Our army is no less powerful than the army in the north, and there is no shortage of supplies with such a big city at its back, not to mention that the army is now stable and united. ”

"The time and place are favorable, and all the people are on my side, I can't trust this glorious city!"

At the same time, on a plain hundreds of miles away from Guangyao City, there were more than a dozen camps, which were firmly rooted and impassable. There are all the antlers of the horses, the watchtowers of the outposts are there, the military appearance is extremely neat, and at a glance you can know that the commander is rigorous in governing the army and has rich experience.

And in the big tent in the barracks, Old General Jetton was looking down at the map on the table. Despite the safety and security of the camp, he was still meticulously dressed, and his trademark big nose almost poked on the map, as if he were marking it.

Liston hurried closer to the tent and interrupted the old Admiral Jetton's thoughts. Jetton saw Liston coming, and hurriedly beckoned, "Old man, thank you for your hard work." ”

As he spoke, he pulled Liston down in front of the map, pointed to the map and said, "Look, this battle is not easy to fight." Originally, they thought that the Northern Legion was going to fight us head-to-head, but their commander was cunning and cunning, and he simply gave up three cities in a row, and took tens of thousands of people to huddle in Shining City, but he didn't come out. His right hand drew a straight line from top to bottom on the map, which was obviously the march route of the Northern Legion of the Kingdom in the past few days.

"Hmph, if there is such a coward in our northern army, I will have to kick his ass, old man. ", said the old general Jetton with a little disdain.
