Chapter 9: Capture the first credit
As soon as Gao Ge took over the military flag, he became the target of everyone, and several brute soldiers pounced on him from different angles.
A tall figure like a flying mountain stopped in front of him, with a left shield and a right sword, surging to the sky, as if it could stop the gods and demons.
"Sing high, follow me!" Darigori let out a thunderous roar.
Ten steps behind, Gurley also saw the singing of the banner, and a hint of cringe flashed in his eyes, and along the way, he remembered the fate of the flag bearer.
To be close to the military flag is to be close to danger, and the fluttering military flag is the dance of death, and Gurley hesitated.
However, a thin figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Brother Gree, please be sure to protect him. I only have one brother, and I love him so much, if he dies, I will ...... with my mother" The thin figure sobbed, and the shabby but neat dress trembled slightly.
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect Gao Ge like I protect my own eyes. I remember pressing her shoulder and saying this.
Her shoulders are so thin, so thin that it makes people's hearts ache.
"I believe you, Big Brother Gree. Those big beautiful eyes were full of tears, but they showed such a look of trust.
The eyes, full of infinite trust, burned Gurly like tongues of fire.
"Gao Ge, I'll cover behind you. Gurley shouted, striding to catch up with Gao Ge.
The brute who rushed up with a "whoop" scream was struck by Darigori's heavy shield and bounced off his bones, or split in half by his sword like lightning, cutting melons and vegetables all the way.
The brute soldiers who wanted to outflank Gao Ge were pierced through the chest and abdomen one by one by Gerley's halberd gun.
"Gao Ge, follow me, up!" Darigori grabbed a long ladder, slashed down a brute guarding the ladder with a knife, shouted loudly and shielded the front with his shield, and struggled to climb up.
Gao Ge and Gurley followed closely.
"Look, it's our Wing Flag! It's our Wing Flag attacking the city!"
The flag of the wing slowly ascended the ladder as the rising sun.
On the battlefield, there was a cheer.
Arrows rained down on the city.
"Cover the shots, protect the military flag!" shouted an officer under the city.
The "boom" of compound bow shots began to be heard incessantly, and the rain of arrows at the head of the city immediately became thin.
Suddenly, a stone the size of a millstone was thrown off the city.
"Tom!"
With a loud bang, the stone slammed down on Darigori's shield.
"Ahh
Darigori let out a cry of pain, his left arm made a muffled "click", and the raised shield "clicked" and fell on the ladder.
"Uncle Darigori!" Gao Ge exclaimed.
"I'm fine!" Darigor used his right hand with his sword to support the shield with his left arm, and crawled towards the city.
The stone kept rolling down, hitting the shield continuously, but it could not stop him from approaching the city step by step.
Suddenly, the ladder swayed, and the angle became closer and closer to vertical.
A long bamboo pole stretched out from the top of the city, and the long ladder was pushed against the branch at the top, slowly pushing it away from the city.
The ladder is five degrees back, and it will be overturned.
Under the city, there was an exclamation.
At this time, Darigori was only three or four blocks away from the top of the ladder.
"Gao Ge, I still owe Father Mustava four silver eagles, and blind Pamper six silver eagles, and the next time you return to your hometown, remember to help me pay it back. My salary, it's all in my breast pocket. Darigori suddenly shouted.
"Uncle Darigory, what are you going to do?!" Gao Ge suddenly realized something and shouted.
The huge shield was thrown down the ladder, and Darigori was completely exposed to the rain of arrows of the brute, and he dragged his limply hanging left arm up a few steps, raised the long sword in his hand, and slashed down with a thunderous roar.
Gao Ge saw the stunned and frightened expressions of the barbarians who were holding the long bamboo poles on the head of the city.
"Click!" the long bamboo pole broke in response, and the long ladder fell to the head of the city, and the thick bamboo made an overwhelming "creak" sound.
With the power of this smash, Darigori, covered in arrows, jumped to the head of the city.
The last brute soldiers at the head of the city also completely lost the will to fight, screaming and scattering in all directions.
Gao Ge jumped up to the top of the city with the military flag in his hand, turned around, and waved it desperately.
The wind was blowing, and the military flag was hunting, as if shouting proudly.
Under Weishan City, the cheers of victory are like unquenchable spring thunder, one after another, wave after wave.
Under the call of the military flag, the kingdom army poured into Weishan City from every place where they could enter the city like an explosive ant colony.
The defeat was like a mountain, and the barbarian army did not hold out for long in the street fighting.
In the end, 2,000 barbarians escaped from the back gate, jumped into the Wuding River, swam across the river, and ran another fifty miles, which was their old nest, the boundless Nanban Manglin.
Wuding River, the mother river of the savanna.
But it is clearly not a mother who can remain kind all the time.
Although it had just entered the rainy season, the water of the Wuding River was already very turbulent, and under the influence of the undercurrent, one after another the barbarians struggled to sink to the bottom of the water, never to rise again.
But the vanishing brute isn't just because of unpredictable undercurrents.
On the wide surface of the river, mysterious swells and whirlpools loom quietly, and sometimes, there are large, vague shadows sweeping underneath.
Underwater, there seems to be something terrible hidden.
In the end, less than five hundred brutes struggled to climb to the opposite bank, and they did not dare to stop for a second, like lost dogs, and went for their lives to the south.
The siege of Weishan City was completely victorious.
But Gao Ge didn't know what was going on at all, he just desperately hugged Darigory, who was motionless, and shouted frantically: "Military medical officer! Military medical officer......
......
"The War History of the Weishan Dynasty" records the performance of their founding monarch in this battle: the battle is the first battle of the Holy Ancestor, the Holy Ancestor takes the Zhuguo Gong as the left and the Ping Guogong as the right, with the flag in one hand and the sword in the other, breaking the enemy formation and winning the first climb. The Holy Ancestor snorted, all the people were ruined, and the divine power was so powerful that it collapsed. It is also a service, the Holy Ancestor beheaded more than 1,000 people, and he was captured, although the barbarians were brave, they all became frightened birds. When all the armies saw the power of heaven for the first time, they all exclaimed: True gods and men!
I feel a little ashamed!
However, history is always written by the victors, and it is understandable to put some grease and some powder on it and exaggerate it.
......
The City Lord's Mansion on the top of Wei Mountain has been cleaned up.
Because of the timely counterattack, a large part of the things looted by the Nanban invasion did not have time to be transported back to the Nanban Manglin, and they were all piled up in the city lord's mansion.
The inventory is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Prince Gordon walked out of the former lord's room with Captain Vasilist, chatting as they went, followed by the ever-grim Knight Francis.
"Your Excellency, it is said that you are one of the two semi-true military strategists of the kingdom today, and what you have seen and heard this time is enough to prove that such rumors are by no means exaggerated. Every time you make a judgment that is so accurate, is it because you can really know your opponent?" asked Prince Golden, smiling.
Commander Vasilist smiled and shook his head: "Your Royal Highness, in a war, there is no way to truly know the enemy. If you can really know the enemy, I am afraid that even a fool can be invincible. ”
"Oh?" said Prince Golden, raising an eyebrow with interest.
Vasilist stretched out two fists and said: "War is more like two people hunting each other in complete darkness. You have absolutely no idea where the danger will come from. Sometimes, there will be a gasp on the left, and sometimes, a glimmer of light will be seen on the right. And you have to judge the enemy situation based on this very limited, fragmented information. You may think that slashing to the left will knock down the enemy, but you don't know that the enemy has actually sneaked to your right and quietly raised their sword against you. ”
"War, that's how it goes through the fog. To win the war, you need a little bit of natural smell, a little bit of acquired experience, and even more a little bit of luck. Vasilist finally said.
"Undoubtedly, you always have that little bit of luck you need, and may the Lord God always favor you. The kingdom needs you to have that luck forever. Golden put his hand on his chest and said goodbye to Vasilist.
Looking at the back of the distant corps commander, Golden put away the smile on his face and sighed: "How I need such a general who really understands military affairs and has strong weapons in his hands!"
"Did he agree to your offer?" asked Francis.
Golden shook his head: "There is no way to say this kind of thing directly, but I have hinted clearly enough, but he has not echoed me directly." ”
"Maybe he's a real soldier and doesn't want to get involved in that kind of strife. Francis said.
"No one can stay out of it unless he's an inconsequential person, and obviously, he's not. My fear is that he's already been paid off by one of those guys. Golden's gaze began to grow aggressive.
"That can't be, the shadows we've infiltrated around him have never noticed any special association he has with those guys. Francis shook his head.
"Send another Ghost Blade to infiltrate him. Golden's voice went cold.
"For ...... Why did you send the Phantom Blade? You said before that he was a rare wizard in the military world, the second great wall of the kingdom. Francis was puzzled.
"It's because he's a rare military wizard that he wants to send out the Phantom Blade. It would be great if such people were on our side. But if you stand in a different team, it will be a great threat. So, once this possibility arises, we need to have the ability to put an end to this threat at any time. Golden's voice was as cold as ice.
"Perhaps...... Maybe he just can't believe you, after all, the bigwigs of the army don't know much about you. Francis said with difficulty.
A smile suddenly appeared on Golden's frozen face, and he sighed: "My Francis, do you feel sorry for him?"
"Indeed, Your Highness the Prince, I admire him. Francis nodded heavily.
"Maybe you're right. "What I can give him now, he's not uncommon," said Golden. And what he values, I can't give it to him right now. Therefore, he didn't want to risk his life because of a verbal promise. Even if the promise comes from a prince. ”
"After all, there are four princes!" Gordon pulled the corners of his mouth with a complicated expression, and forced a smile.
"But there's one thing you can give him, and you can give him confidence in your promise!" Francis suggested earnestly.
"You're right, Francis, tonight I want to show him that I am a man of my word, and that the rewards I have promised will be fulfilled, even overpaid. That way, even if I could only give him a verbal promise now, he would weigh it carefully. "Prince Golden is back on his edge.
"If we can get Vasilist's allegiance, we will have the opportunity to win this time, and we will have perfectly fulfilled the pre-planned plan. Francis's grim face also showed a rare hint of excitement.
"Even if we don't get his allegiance, we've gained a lot this time. I gilded it, and my experience in leading troops in battle was no longer zero. You have even made a great achievement, killing the barbarian totem warriors who called the battle with one move before the battle, and led the troops to annihilate the elite of the 500 barbarian army, and personally killed three low-level demonic beasts and two medium-level demonic beasts. With such a record, it is not too much for me, as the supreme commander of this military operation, to ask my father to promote you to a more important position! Prince Golden exhaled deeply.
"To be in the second ...... It's hard to stick a foot in the traditional territory of the two bears!" Francis gritted his teeth.
"Big Worm, Two Bears, Three Toads, hehe, I don't know what code name they gave me in private, I'm really curious!" Golden smiled coldly and muttered to himself.
"Everything is as expected by Your Royal Highness the Prince, the awards and rewards of those high-ranking officers, Erxiong really have to personally judge and promulgate, and you will not be allowed to have the slightest chance to show favors. Francis said.
"However, as the supreme commander of the campaign, there is no reason for him to refuse a small reward for a small and insignificant reward for a small warrior. He also used this to show his generosity, so as not to exacerbate the conflict with me, after all, the forces we mobilized still caused him pressure. Golden said meaningfully.
"Don't you know that this little reward is a powerful lever for you to pry the hearts of some big people. Francis looked impressed.
"Did you find out what background that warrior had?" said Golden, who was clearly in a good mood.
"He's just a little baron's concubine, and...... Moreover, he was the trainee officer who was teased at the celebration banquet that day, and it is said that his IQ was not very high. Francis looked a little strange.
"Oh!" Golden's expression brightened, "That's great, it's even more shocking that such a person has received the reward I have earned!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
