Around the same time.

Imperial Army Occupation Zone, East Gagawa County, west of the city of Samin, where the Mephirang Army is stationed.

The Chinese military barracks area, the former intelligence camp. The pigeon envoy of Pilondamer had just arrived, and the former battalion commander did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly asked people to prepare horses and personally sent the secret letter to the commander's tent.

There are many reasons why the Imperial Army is known as the most powerful and brilliant army in the past three hundred years, and its excellent intelligence gathering and transmission capabilities must be one of the key reasons.

In addition to the emperor's left and right, the Ministry of Military Affairs has set up a military intelligence department and other intelligence organizations directly under the royal court. To the local Sakai, 埴 and stationed intelligence units. Even in the corps, there is its own intelligence unit.

Any official corps of the Imperial Army that is being organized must have four battalions: the front, the back, the sky, and the earth.

The forward intelligence battalion is responsible for the detective collection of the front line and the enemy's situation, the rear intelligence battalion is responsible for the transmission of intelligence with the rear commander and the imperial court, the sky intelligence battalion is responsible for the estimation of the astrological weather, and the ground intelligence battalion is responsible for the reconnaissance and collection of the surrounding geography, the environment and the movements of the inhabitants.

By the way, in the Imperial Legion formation, the battalion is not a formal combat formation, but a command service establishment.

No matter which battalion it is, the means of information transmission they can use are almost the same, and the information that can be delivered in time is the truly valuable information, and the fastest means of transmitting information is naturally the magic circle communication, and the mages can communicate with each other with inspiration, but when the distance exceeds the scope of inspiration communication, the magic circle is needed to assist in enhancing the effective distance of communication and communication. However, the construction of this kind of magic circle requires a high degree of accuracy, otherwise it will either not be connected, or it will not know where to connect, and it is only suitable for use in a relatively stable environment between the barracks and between the barracks and the rear.

The second means is the pigeon, the speed and information integrity of the pigeon transmission is of course not as good as the almost synchronous transmission of the circle, but it is almost not limited by any geographical environment, and it is more convenient to use than the circle. If you want to say what are the shortcomings of the pigeon, that is, the early breeding of the pigeon makes more effort, and the loss of the pigeon makes it take a long time to replenish it, but this shortcoming is not a matter in the army.

The former commander of the intelligence battalion didn't know the mission of Pirang Dammer Lingluo, this matter was too fatal, and even if he knew about it, he would probably die. But he was instructed by the Legion Commander's close attendant that there was a pigeon envoy from Rhondammer, and he must present it to the Legion Commander himself as soon as possible. In the past few days, the Pilondamme pigeons have been very punctual, every three days. But this time the letter came a day later than before.

In the imperial military discipline, the concept of time is the most important, and the leader is negligent, and according to military discipline, he is deposed and severely beheaded. This pigeon letter exchange, there is also particular, when the departure agreed to be reported every three days, even if you go far, without the permission of the boss, you have to report every three days, and the offender can also be punished according to negligence. As Pilang Dammer Lingluo, it is impossible not to know the severity of this, this is a day slow, it must have encountered some big accident, so the former intelligence battalion commander put down the affairs in his hand and came to present it in person.

The legion tent of the Imperial Army is generally located in the middle and rear of the legion camp, with the big tent as the center of the circle, and another fence wood and stone, which constitutes the main camp of the regiment commander, and the main camp gate is 100 steps away in front of the tent door. In the army, except for officers above the rank of commander, no horses are allowed to enter the camp until they reach the gate of the main camp, and people must walk to the front of the tent.

Although the former intelligence battalion commander was the head of the fourth MIb battalion, he had to dismount before arriving at the main camp, but the guard officer at the main camp gate saw that he was coming, and shouted from afar: "The regiment commander has an order, if you have a military situation with Pirangdamo, you can gallop into the camp!"

What is the situation? The former battalion commander was really startled, and even wondered if he had heard it wrong, but looking at the guard officer's expression, it didn't seem to be. He didn't dare to gamble, it was a capital crime to gallop into the camp without permission, even if you, the guard officer, really said that you were not guilty, and the regiment commander blamed it, it was me who died. So he hurriedly jumped off his horse, and did not dare to go, but ran to the big tent.

Of course, the guard officer did not play tricks on the battalion commander, although he did not know what was going on, but the regimental commander did give this order.

Captain Levima was indeed anxious and irritable, and according to the pigeon envoy four days before, Pilangdamer should have reached the Touan embankment three days before, and according to the previous disposition, he did not think that there would be any force on the embankment to stop his retinue. However, among the various news received by the former intelligence camp in the past few days, not only did there be no mention of the embankment, but there was not even any news of someone attacking the embankment, how could this not make the regiment leader anxious?

Now, what he is worried about is not whether he can break the embankment, but whether he can return safely with Wei Ling - as long as the whole army is not wiped out. It's not that the regiment leader really loves soldiers like a son, but if this guard disappears, this matter will be a big deal.

The guards are responsible for the safety of the legion commander, and the legion commander certainly has the right to order them to do something else, and there is no need to ask anyone for instructions and report in advance. But the entire guard is missing, and this matter can't be covered up - the military intelligence department has its own overseers in each legion, not to mention the secret sons under the emperor.

Destroying the embankment and drowning the people can be said and done, but it should not be known to others. Outside the empire, even some of the border people of the empire, there are many people who think that the empire pursues strict punishment and strict laws, and at every turn it is to exterminate the family and the clan, and treat human life as a mustard, in fact, the head of the high-ranking Leweima knows best that the laws of the empire are strict, but it is strict from the top down, even the nobles are not allowed to harm people's lives, in this regard, it is much worse than the extralegal privileges of the nobles of the kingdom and the allies.

What's more, the Emperor is now in his prime and has lofty aspirations, although the Imperial Army is fierce and brave in battle, killing people without blinking, but it is strictly forbidden to kill and surrender, let alone slaughter civilians. Both inside and outside the imperial court said that it was the world, at least the hegemony of the entire Tambro Continent, that was the emperor of the world, and that he was never willing to lose his reputation for the sake of one city and one county.

Therefore, the head of the regiment Le Weima lined up his own guards to destroy the embankment, which was an absolute danger of military action, and it became self-evident, once the matter was defeated and leaked, even if the gods did not punish him, the emperor would not let him go.

Then why did he do this? Obviously, judging from the situation, the Imperial Army is very good, even if it slows down and continues to fight, the Imperial Army should not have any chance.

It's really time to wait.

For the past two months, Le Weima's friends in the Ministry of War and the Imperial Court have warned him that he has been impeached for arson and plunder in the war zone. This is a very serious and nonsense crime - everyone who has been a regiment commander understands that this kind of thing is difficult to prohibit in the first place, and what counts as looting, this can be said by people, the key is to see if you have the "right to explain". What's worse is that the current wind direction in the ministry is not favorable to him, and it is said that the imperial court will order the military department to transfer him back to the imperial capital to listen to the staff. Although with his connections, this level of impeachment may not cost him his life, but it is enough to hinder his wealth and promotion.

When Levima heard this, he scolded his mother, of course, he just scolded in the tent. Although this trick is damaged, he can't say anything yet, in the imperial officialdom, people who don't know how to scheming and trickery, no matter how big your ability is, it is difficult to mix. To put it bluntly, everyone wants to do this kind of, it's just to see if they can't catch it and get the opportunity.

According to the default logic of who benefits the most and who suspects the most, Le Weima actually doesn't have to worry about not having the opportunity to avenge this arrow in the future, but what is the better opportunity for meritorious service as a soldier than to expand the territory? He really didn't want to miss this opportunity to be promoted to the rank and knighthood, so he began to think of a way.

It is not possible to sit idly by, and he does not have the ability to influence the decision of the ministry or even the imperial court, the best way he can think of is to break the current stalemate on the battlefield. Once the army advances and destroys the city, no matter how fierce those bastards are, the Emperor will never agree to change the morale at this time.

However, the reality is that he is the only legion in this theater of the Imperial Army with a million armor, and the five legions that originally fought together are all consolidating the occupied area in the rear, and the newly transferred legions of the military headquarters have encountered floods in the territory and postponed their departure. It was because the troops were not deployed in place, so the military headquarters did not order him to attack, but ordered him to stick to the war zone. With his combat strength of more than 10,000, of course, it is not small, but he is always alone, and it is too risky to take the initiative to attack.

Even in this case, I don't remember who mentioned it first, anyway, after thinking about it for two days, Commander Levima finally decided to risk the world's condemnation, attack the embankment with surprise troops, and turn the situation in the entire theater in one fell swoop.

Hearing the guard's report that the battalion commander had brought a pigeon envoy from Pirangdamo, the regimental commander was so excited that he didn't even put on his pants, so he ran to the desk and almost "grabbed" to bring the pigeon letter.

This is very undignified, but the army has always been informal.

"Military Governor Huiyin, I waited to the ground, encountered people passing by, in order not to be disturbed, wait for six days, Anshun. The note carried by the pigeon envoy contained only these words.

Although the pigeon envoy is fast, the risk of being intercepted and killed is not small when traveling through a place like a war zone, so the information carried by the military pigeon envoy is either in ciphertext or in specious plaintext. And this message of Pirondamme uses the latter.

Commander is the honorific title of Le Weima, his military rank is regimental general, regimental commander is the position, regimental commander is only his position, and it is customary to be close to the rank of cousin in the army. Hui Yin is a customary opening politeness, so this first sentence is actually a polite sentence of the lower official - the content can be plausible, but the salute cannot be plausible.

As for the rest, most of it is disguised, and in Le Vima's view, the secret message is: "Report to the regiment." With your wisdom, we have reached our destination, but in the face of the enemy sending troops to temporarily inspect the embankment, in order not to alarm them to leak the news, we have to lurk around for three days before we start, but other than that, everything is safe and smooth. ”

Well, six days is ciphertext, which actually refers to three days.

This secret report is obviously good news, Sui Wei Ling is fine, and he can do it in three days, as long as things are done steadily, Le Weima should not be bad for these three days. But he didn't expect that after reading this note, Le Weima stayed for four or five breaths before sitting on the military governor's chair, and the look of his eyes seemed to have become dim. muttered: "It's over, it's over......"

In the big tent, the officers and soldiers of the guards, the former battalion commander, no one understood why the regiment commander suddenly became like this, everyone was terrified, but they didn't dare to speak, and there was no sound in the tent.

Suddenly, a man's voice rang out.

"It seems that I arrived just in time, and I knew that the goods could not be trusted. ”
