Chapter 90: White Butulus
After leaving the town, the two went their separate ways, and Zitai returned to the territory of the House of Butulus to fight the Restoration, and persuaded Prince Pete to temporarily cooperate with Diablo against the radical forces of the Church of the Dawn led by Murphy.
Immediately, the Restoration Army, led by Prince Pete, officially declared war on the Church of Dawn.
Three days later, under the city of Philun, the Restoration Army assembled, and the defenders in the city surrendered after symbolic resistance, and the city of Philun was recovered.
On the seventh day, Meiyuan City, the soldiers of the Shuguang Church in the city fled from the wind, and the soldiers of the restored army recovered Meiyuan City without blood.
In the middle of the month, under the city of Meige, the Restoration Army encountered the most stubborn resistance since the beginning of the war. Under a series of victories of the Restoration Army, the morale was like a rainbow, although the problems of complementarity and coordination of various armies and the inability to communicate with the orders were exposed, but after two days of fierce fighting, Meige City was recovered.
The restoration army is like a bamboo, recovering nearly half of the country's land, and it is in sight that the restoration of the country is in sight.
However, Qi Tai was not very optimistic, and pointed out more than once that the composition of the Restoration Army was too complex, and there were many orders, and if it was not solved in time, there would inevitably be big problems.
However, the nobles of the Principality of Meihe, led by Pete, were carried away by the series of victories, believing that the Church of Dawn was nothing more than that, and even Prince Pete regretted that it was purely superfluous to spend a huge price to hire the Sails mercenary group and others.
After many reminders to no avail, Qi Tai didn't say anything more, just watched coldly.
......
"Two cakes. ”
"Eat, thirty thousand. ”
"Stop, touch, listen, nine-of-a-kind. ”
"Eighty thousand. ”
Zitai, Copper Hammer, Sidon and Nivea were bored, so they had to play mahjong in the tent to kill time.
I saw that Nivea was strong, and she had already sat in Bazhuang, and Qi Tai and Copper Hammer Face had already lost green.
Seeing that the copper hammer had just played 80,000, Nivea pushed the card excitedly.
"Huh!"
"If you don't play, you can sit in Jiuzhuang and let people live. The copper hammer pushed the mahjong with a stinky face, and was about to get up and leave.
Nivea, who was even sitting in Jiuzhuang, was in a good mood, and she was even more happy to see the copper hammer deflated, and said with a smile: "Yo, I can't afford to lose, the copper hammer...... Gunner!"
Qi Tai rubbed his shoulders and said boredly: "Okay, okay, girl, give us a way to live, your luck is too strong today." Anyway, we're going to be ready to run away these days. As I walked around the camp in the morning, I was blessed with a glimpse of most of the soldiers, who were churning with gray air as far as the eye could see. ”
"How do you explain it...... This is a means within my division, not every time it works, but occasionally, as long as it is successful, it is not a problem to seek good fortune and avoid evil. ”
"Do you want to be so magical...... "this is worth it, wouldn't it be invincible!"
Qi Tai covered his face, "It's not so godly, this kind of qi art is not something that can be used if you want to, yin and yang are mutually reinforcing, and the three talents of heaven, earth and man are indispensable, and what is important is a blessing to the soul." I see that those soldiers are churning in discouragement, and they are bound to be unlucky lately. Thinking of the state of their Restoration Army and the strange inaction of the Dawning Church, something must have happened to the army. ”
Brass Hammer scratched his head and said, "Since it's so magical, shouldn't we tell Pete to be careful?" ”
"Notice, it should be necessary. But I don't think it's going to be very useful. Will we believe Zithai's words, will Pete and the nobles believe it? Absolutely not, but will laugh at us. Seaton, as usual, calmly analyzed.
"It's still going to be said. We don't save ourselves when we see death and they die for themselves, these are two different things, let us do our best to obey the destiny of heaven. It's really ridiculous, a group of politicians are generals, but they pity these soldiers, and in the Meihe Principality, I don't know how many more broken families there will be. Qi Tai sighed, "I'd better go for this kind of thing, you guys are not suitable." ”
Qi Tai instructed everyone to take care of their bags and prepare to leave at any time, and he came to the big tent.
Now Pete, when he saw Qi Tai, he was completely devoid of the past respect, and he was full of control. There is such a thing as power, which can really change a person in the shortest possible time.
Qi Tai didn't say anything about the problems he found with his Qi Hope Technique, and he couldn't come up with solutions, after all, Qi Tai only knew that there would be problems with the army, but he didn't know how to go wrong. Just remind Pete that in the near future, he should pay attention to the factors that will lead to the rout of the army, such as sneak attacks and mutinies.
As Sidon expected, Pete didn't care.
Even the patriarch of the Buturus family in the big tent sneered: "This is the army of the kingdom, an army of hundreds of thousands, not a small fight like a mercenary group. When fighting a large army, you should be indomitable, like a bamboo, although you have a talent for cultivation, but when you march and fight, it is better to speak less. ”
Immediately, in the big tent, the sound of ridicule came and went.
Qi Tai didn't think it was upset and turned to leave.
And when Qi Tai had just left the big tent and not far away, someone from behind stopped him.
"Brother Qitai stays! Can you take a step to speak. ”
"In Lower White Buturus, what my father said just now is inappropriate, and I hope my brother will not pay attention. ”
White Buturus, eldest son of the Buturus family, forty years old, with the rank of Great Warrior, the future patriarch of the Buturus family.
It stands to reason that as the first heir of the Buturus family, it can be said that he is quite prominent in the Principality of Meihe. But unlike other children of the nobility, White was strict with himself from an early age, traveling at the age of fifteen and returning five years later. During this period, no one knew where White had gone, not even his father, the patriarch of the contemporary Buturus family, and after several fruitless inquiries, he stopped asking.
For White, who was born in the orthodox army, he was not very optimistic about Sails and others at first, although in the mercenary group, the personal combat power is definitely higher than that of the soldiers, but after all, he was born in the wilderness, whether it is on the battlefield or in the rear, he is very lacking.
But after a period of observation, White found that this Sails mercenary group was not simple, although the head of the regiment, Sails, did not know where he was, but this black-haired and black-eyed Qi Tai really surprised White.
Especially when Qi Tai pointed out all the shortcomings in the Restoration Army.
White was aware of the disadvantages of the complex composition and multiple orders of the Restoration Army, and he also mentioned it to his father, but he was not taken seriously.
"I'll take care of you, little brother, I don't know what you think about the current battle situation. ”
It's not the first time Qi Tai has seen White, but it's the first time to talk, it's just that faintly, Qi Tai feels a familiar taste from White, a taste cultivated in the real military, which makes Qi Tai feel very cordial.
The truth must not be said, and it is quite a joke for outsiders to hear. After pondering for a while, Qi Tai said: "In the current war situation, our side is like a bamboo, and we have almost wiped out the forces of the Dawning Church in half of the principality with a sweeping momentum, and we have hardly encountered a few decent resistances, but is the Dawning Church really so unbearable? ”
"Our army, with a mighty force of nearly 200,000, seems to be incomparable, but among them are regular armies, aristocratic private armies, local garrisons and militias.
"In addition, it is very important to note that the army of nearly 200,000 people eats and chews horses, and it costs a lot of food and grass, and as our army gradually penetrates, it will be more difficult to replenish. If I'm not mistaken, it seems that since the beginning of Meige City, I have not seized anything. The army even has to give food and grass to the civilians along the road repeatedly!"
......
Hearing this, White was already shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly left to find his father to discuss.
White tried his best, but his father didn't care. In the end, he even reprimanded White for disturbing the morale of the military. In desperation, White had to hire part of the army to carry out the guard mission.
That night, Zitai saw the tired White again.
