CHAPTER XXXII

() Bollinger Pass, night.

The former castle guard was now the temporary headquarters of the Atterbury Army, and Remel had his residence here.

It's the first days of the day, and the Atterbury soldiers inside and outside the city are partying to their heart's content. After three and a half days of bloody fighting, they finally emerged victorious. For the sake of this hard-won victory, they should indeed celebrate. The generals of the Atterbury Army, who were originally going to participate in the carnival, were now summoned to the headquarters by their boss Remel, and he himself has not been seen since he entered the city and settled in the castle guard. All the generals were playing a game of staring at each other, and they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine their commander was buying in his gourd.

At this time, Remel, who was sitting in the back hall, did not have a trace of joy after victory, but a sad face. He was waiting for news, waiting for news about the survival of the more than 50,000 expeditionary forces of the Atterbury Army.

The night is still long and boring.

All the generals of Attebury in the hall were already anxious, and the sound of soldiers drinking and fighting outside the city seemed to be close to their ears, and the rich smell of wine aroused the wine worms of these bloody men on the battlefield. If it weren't for Commander Remel's high prestige in the army and his iron-faced and selfless military management, I'm afraid that a few people would have been unable to stand the wine worms in their stomachs and slipped out to relieve their slander.

With the resounding sound of the herald's raising, the generals of Atterbury finally met their long-awaited commander.

Remel sat on the seat where Xu Shouyi had sat a few days ago, and glanced at the more than ten generals under him, and the generals who were clamoring to go out to celebrate and drink wine all lowered their heads and said nothing.

Although all the generals were full of questions, none dared to ask Rimmel why he had gathered all the generals together on this victory night. Observing the solemn expression on the commander's face, everyone knew that this gathering would not be for the celebration of victory.

While everyone was waiting for Rimel's instructions, three generals dressed in Carol's uniforms appeared at the door. Although the generals in the hall just now looked stunned, in this case, they were still alert as soldiers, and they withdrew their swords from their waists, and several generals close to Remel naturally built a human wall around them to prevent accidents. And the generals who were far away from Remel were even ready to do it, just waiting for Rimel's order to take down the three Carol generals.

"The commander of the three towns of Brin is General Remel!"

The three of them saluted Remel at the same time.

There was a lot of talk in the hall for a while, and I couldn't figure out what was going on.

Remel raised his hand to signal everyone to silence, and at the same time accepted the salute of the three Carol generals below with a smile on his face. When the three of them got up, Remel took a roll from the clerk behind him.

"Appoint the commander of the three towns of Yuanblin as the commander-in-chief of the three towns of Bryn, Sugger, the city guard and the three towns of Brin in the kingdom of Atbury, and at the same time confer the title of hereditary earl!"

At this point, everyone knew that the three Carol generals in front of them turned out to be the three commanders of the three towns of Brin. But what about this letter of appointment signed by the king. They have worked hard to fight down the Bollinger Pass, and they have not received any reward, and why did they get such a rich reward. All the generals had a look of indignation.

"The three generals took refuge in our country this time, blocking the logistics supply line of Bollinger Pass, and the king and I are very grateful for the efforts of the three, and when I take the entire Luoping Plains in the future, I will also ask the king for the credit of the three generals. ”

After receiving such a heavy reward and the high praise of the commander-in-chief Remel, the three of them all showed a hint of pride on their faces, and they were obviously a little excited and fluttering.

"Hey, by the way, who of the three is in charge of the guards in Wright Town, I have something I want to ask!"

As if he suddenly remembered something, Remel asked without a head.

One of the three took a step forward and said, "Yes, I don't know what the general commands?"

"I've heard that there are a lot of hotels in Wrighttown, and all the girls in them are beautiful, I wonder if the rumors are true?"

In fact, one of the three towns of Bollinger is indeed full of hotel brothels, and those were originally in Bollinger Pass. But since Xu Shouyi took office, all pornographic establishments have been banned. But it is impossible for nearly 10,000 soldiers in Bollinger Pass and the nearby three towns not to look for women. As a result, the taverns and brothels that had been in the city were opened to the town of Deno outside Bollinger Pass, which was conveniently located on the road from Bollinger Pass to Suger, and was protected by the commander here, so the sex industry was quite developed. Even some foreign business travelers came to visit it, and it was quite famous throughout the south.

The commander of Wright Town smiled at each other with the two colleagues behind him, but he didn't expect that Remeer, who was a famous general in Atterbury, also liked this tone, so he could use this to slap the number one person in the Atterbury military in the future.

"Hehe, the general must have been too busy with military affairs to care about these details. I'm still food there, and there's a girl. You can ask the wrong person about this, you have to ask the commander of the Deno Front. ”

Seeing the opportunity, another general also stepped forward and said: "It is the commander of Deno Town, and when the army arrives, his subordinates will definitely entertain the general and the generals present!"

"Hehe, thank you very much! I have prepared a banquet, and when I finish dealing with the little things at hand, I will have a good time with the three generals!"

The three of them didn't dare to say anything, and left the hall under the guidance of the attendants and turned to the backyard.

When the three of them were gone, Gariland stood up first.

"General, how can such three villains be entrusted with such a big responsibility!"

The rest of the people also echoed when they heard it.

Remel smiled and said, "The three of them have indeed played a big role in conquering the Bollinger Pass this time. I also know that they are embarrassed to be reused, but now that our army is about to penetrate into Carol's territory, if it were not for these lackeys to lead the way, we would have to pay a certain price if we wanted to capture the entire Lo Ping Plain. Now let them eat the dog, and we sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, wouldn't it be better?"

It wasn't until this moment that everyone understood what it meant.

But Gary Lan still stubbornly asked:

"What girl did the general mention just now......" There was a lot of dissatisfaction in his tone.

This is actually what everyone can't figure out the most. Generally speaking, as a soldier, it is very normal to go in and out of pornographic places in peacetime, and even to commit adultery and plunder in occupied territories. But Remel, on the other hand, never ventured into any pornographic establishments, a well-known thing in the Atterbury Army.

"I'm not looking for a girl, I'm looking for food! In fact, from the time the king appointed me as commander-in-chief of this expedition, I was opposed to the use of such a large force. Because there is a West Bulin Mountain Range between the kingdom's territory and the Luoping Plain, there is a passage through the Bollinger Pass, but the mountain road is tortuous and difficult to navigate. As our subsequent war progresses, the front of our army will be lengthened, which means that our logistical supply lines will also be lengthened. ”

"It's a harsh winter, it's impossible for us to grab food from civilians, and even if we could, it would never be enough to supply us. And the kingdom's logistics line definitely can't afford to supply nearly 60,000 soldiers. Therefore, the question of supply determines the first condition for the final victory of our expedition. As I had sent someone to investigate, the town of Wright, one of the three towns of Brin, had a large amount of military rations, and I had done this on purpose just now in order to get the information we needed from their mouths. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and at the same time, they secretly admired the commander's foresight in their hearts.

"Galiland, you now lead your five thousand hoplites and two thousand light cavalry to the town of Leyte. Remember, no one is allowed to touch a grain of grain without my warrant, and if something goes wrong, I want your head. ”

"Yes!"

Garilan turned away, and at this moment he knew very well in his heart that the commander had put the lives of all the soldiers in his own hands, and he must not make any mistakes.

"The rest of the troops rested for three days. Castle, I order you to lead 3,000 heavy infantry and 2,000 light infantry to stay at Bollinger Pass, and ensure the smooth supply line of our army after entering the hinterland of Carol.

"Yes!"

Since the last time he suffered a defeat at the hands of Xu Zhixin, Castle has been haunted by it and feels that he can't hold his head up. And at this moment, the commander in chief handed over this important task to him, proving that he has not lost confidence in himself. I was very moved for a while, and secretly determined to live and die with Bollinger Pass.

After all that was done, Remel dismissed the generals and prepared to return to the backyard to entertain his three "VIPs", hoping to get some useful information from them. After all, for some time afterward, I still need these three "loyal lackeys"!
