The night was quiet, and the slight autumn breeze made the torches in the tent sway. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhang Xiao sat alone at the head of the tent, in front of him was a detachable long table, only to see that the long table was covered with all kinds of documents, some of the documents were in mainland Chinese but most of them were Chinese characters, but there was no doubt that these documents determined the future direction of nearly 1,000 people in the two villages, and at the other end of the long table stood a sturdy man.

It is said that Zhang Xiao has also traveled to this world for a month or two, but he is still only used to using the Chinese characters he knew before, for these obscure mainland languages, although Zhang Xiao knows how to use, but he doesn't like to use them very much, recently Zhang Xiao is training Geman and others to learn and use Chinese characters, because this is at least a kind of code book for the time being.

"Your name is Isco?" asked Zhang Xiao as he flipped through the papers on the table without raising his head.

"Yes, sir, the little one's name is Isco. "That sturdy man is the former northern soldier Isco who was in charge of guarding the grotto camp during the day, but his shrewd escape methods did not run out of Zhang Xiao's ambush circle, so he was caught by Zhang Xiao at the entrance of the canyon with the mercenary leader.

"I heard Jill say that you fought in the north before? I'm curious, can you tell me?" Zhang Xiao opened one of the documents and read it carefully, then turned around and walked to the map behind him, and then took out a quill pen to draw something on the map.

Looking at the situation in front of him, although Isco felt embarrassed, he still stubbornly said: "There is nothing to talk about, master, our northern army is a notoriously defeated army in the kingdom, and we have participated in almost nine times out of ten battles, and another time we have fled. ”

"Is there still a war to win or lose? Only whether the goal is achieved or not, I have learned some of the deeds of your Northern Army, and many of your achievements, although they do not seem to be very good, but they have indeed achieved the goal of protecting the territory and the people. Speaking of this, Zhang Xiao raised his head and looked at Isco, and said seriously: "I admire your Northern Army, now looking at the whole kingdom, in addition to you, there may only be the first, second, and third knights in the kingdom's capital directly under the command of the fighting power." ”

"Don't you believe that I admire your Northern Army so much?" Zhang Xiao didn't wait for Isco to answer, he turned around and pulled down the map behind him, only to see that behind the map on the surface there was a strategic map of the Lindu Kingdom and its surrounding neighbors.

"Of the seven major provinces of the Lindu Kingdom, we have two provinces in the west, three in the south, one in Zhili, and one in the north, and our capital is in the easternmost part of this continent, which means that Zhili is equivalent to the east. ”

"The two western provinces are barren, the people are fierce, the population is small, the climate and environment are relatively harsh, and in the past few years, Darius on the northern grasslands has been invading the northern provinces, so most of the soldiers in the west have been transferred to the northern army, and the northern army can actually be said to be the northwest army to put it bluntly. ”

"The three southern provinces are in a safe corner, because they are close to the coastline, so there is a developed business and a large population, and it is also the granary and treasury of the kingdom, and the three southern provinces are also responsible for defending the western Paravon Mountains, after all, we still have the Modo Kingdom to the west, although the Modo Kingdom does not dare to cross the Paravon Mountains, which are known as the Dead Man's Peak, but they still have to prevent them from sneaking up on the coastline. ”

"In addition, in the past few years, the kingdom has levied taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the south is also full of chaos, and recently it has been very busy to take care of itself. ”

Saying that, Zhang Xiao picked up a piece of parchment from the table again, and read: "In the sixty-fourth year of Sen'as of the Kingdom of Lindu, that is, four years ago, Darius gathered 200,000 foot cavalry and invaded the northern provinces in the south, and the Paravon province requisitioned 30,000 warriors to aid the northern provinces, and then merged with the 600,000 northern army to form the 630,000 northern army. ”

"The Seventh Army of the Northern Army and the First Knights of the Northern Military Order, as the right flank combat force, bypassed Darius's army and approached Darius's royal court, and then the remaining 470,000 soldiers of the Northern Army desperately entangled Darius's main force, making it impossible for him to rush to the royal court in time. ”

"Yes, there is not one of the remaining southern returnees of the northern army, only a few 70,000 northern troops have returned to the fortress of Nathiogus, and a large number of widow villages and lonely villages have begun to appear in the northern provinces and the province of Paraven, and at the same time Darius's royal court is safe and sound, but he also gave up the southern invasion, and did not re-invade the border until last year, I wonder what happened in between? The historians of the kingdom have selectively skipped this section, leaving only a few records, and there are various accounts in the kingdom. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be the group of Western warriors who were transferred back then, I'm curious, what happened to you back then?" Zhang Xiao put his hands on his chest and looked at Isco seriously.

Seeing Zhang Xiao tell the battle of the year in such detail, Isco could only shake his head and reply wistfully: "That battle, we prefer to call it the Grassland Campaign, what you said earlier is all right, we did attack the royal court of Darius, but the development of things later was very complicated, and I only know a little bit as a centurion." ”

"I still remember that it was a sunny morning, and the weather on the grassland is usually changeable, but that day, the sky on the grassland was clear, there was not a single breeze, there was not a single cloud, it was just the sun, a vast grassland. ”

"In fact, Darius's army had arrived opposite us the night before, and they had quickly set up their tents, and we did not attack them out of chivalry, because our soldiers also needed to rest, and the night was not conducive to our march and battle, so the commander only reached the whole army that night to raise the vigilance. ”

"The next morning, the weather was so beautiful, but the first moment I opened my eyes, I heard the drums of battle, and we quickly got up and arrived at our position, which was standing on the prairie at that time, and it was all black and full of human heads, but on the side of Darius, there were very few people. ”

"Later development is the same as you said, we have more soldiers, but not as elite as Darius, at the beginning we set up a battle against each other, the front infantry corps advanced and pressed, the rear bow troops began to advance to suppress the enemy's long-range troops, and then we launched a counterfire, and then our first-line infantry corps braved the enemy's arrows to rush to the enemy position, at the same time the two wings of Darius's cavalry began to attack the flanks of our vanguard team, and our left flank combat power was all pressed, including even our five military knights, you must know that we only have six military knights, and the remaining first military knights are on the right flank。 ”

"But our military knights are not the knights of Zhili after all, our shock rescue only relieved the pressure on the infantry corps, so that the station field became anxious again, at this time Darius army dispatched archers, in order to relieve the pressure on the two flanks of the front line, the commander pressed the heavy infantry corps of the second line to the two flanks and attacked forward. ”

"At this time, the commander gave the order to raid the royal court on the right flank, and I don't know what happened after that, I only know that the whole grassland was bright red that day, and the quality of our soldiers was not as good as Darius's army, so it's okay, we changed one for one, two for one, and everyone was fighting with their best strength to kill the enemy in front of them. ”

"If it weren't for the Knights of Zhili coming to meet us at the end, maybe our 70,000 people would have to be explained there, and the troops on the right flank were declared completely annihilated by the Modo Kingdom for some reason. I don't know what happened in between. ”
