Chapter 145: The Heart of a General

"Change?"

Baseileus snorted coldly, couldn't help but shake his head, and said as if talking to himself: "It's not just a change here, I'm afraid it's going to change the sky......"

Speaking of this, his expression suddenly became serious, and the instant distraction in his eyes faded, and a trace of essence appeared again. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Baseileus suddenly stood up from the chair of the big tent, took out an unsealed military letter from the table, looked at Salul with some solemnity, and said slowly:

"It was only tonight that the military newspaper from the county town of Sadland arrived on my desk. According to the sentinel who delivered the letter, they had sent it two days earlier, although it appeared that there were some forks along the way. I'm afraid it was those damn rebels who were making trouble in the middle that made the military report arrive for a long time.

However, the content of this military newspaper is a drastic change that I never expected!"

Baseileus's face was a little pale, he took a deep breath, barely calmed the shock in his heart, shook his head and said:

"Now we are faced with a situation in which reinforcements from the Sadran direction may not be able to be mobilized quickly, but by no means for any reason you think.

But this is a high-level secret, and even you can't reveal it. The only thing I can tell you is that what happened this time was very serious, even no less than the total annihilation of our three legions......

Therefore, we can't wait for reinforcements, and the only thing we can do now is to quickly withdraw the whole army and return to the county town of Sadland!"

Baseileus's tone was unusually serious, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Sarul, which made him deeply feel the sharp edge in the commander's eyes!

A big change?

Salur didn't have time to think too much, because he noticed what Barcellus had said, mentioning the withdrawal of the whole army. This made him can't help but move in his heart, and his expression suddenly looked at Barcelus with some nervousness.

Once the whole army withdrew, it was inevitable to abandon the mountain pass in front of it, and the Macedonian army would inevitably retreat into the valley corridor. That meant that the Macedonian soldiers had to face the siege of tens of thousands of troops of the Northwest Army and the charge of tens of thousands of cavalry in the wide and flat plains of the river valley!

The reason why Baseileus's army was able to repel the attack of tens of thousands of troops of the Northwest Army, in addition to the fact that the golden armor under his command was an elite force, was largely due to the favorable terrain they occupied. But once you withdraw from the pass, this advantage no longer exists.

Yamaguchi must not give up!

When Salur thought of this, his expression suddenly froze, and he suddenly understood Barcelus's intentions in his heart. There was a flash of determination in his eyes, which was immediately replaced by a look of determination.

"General, you can lead two thousand heavy cavalry to unarmor and take a step ahead with light equipment. As for these thousands of soldiers, Salul is willing to ask for orders to be restrained, hold the mountain pass, and block the Northwest Army!"

Barcelus didn't say a word, as if he had already anticipated Salul's reaction.

He was silent for a moment, his expression seemed to be a little hesitant, but he finally made up his mind, and looked at Salul with a solemn expression:

"Sarul, this task is quite difficult, if you don't want to, I can let other officers do it!"

Salul shook his head and smiled, but he didn't have the kind of respect that his subordinates treated the generals, but laughed loudly as if he was facing a friend he knew:

"General, it's not that I, Saruel, boast about it, in this camp, besides you, if there is anyone else worthy of commanding these thousands of warriors in golden armor, it must be me, Saruor!"

He said it easily, but he still couldn't help the ups and downs in his heart. Both Barcelus and Salul knew in their hearts that if they were to evacuate, it would be absolutely impossible for these thousands of soldiers to slip away under the noses of the Northwest Army, at least it would be impossible to escape with their whole body.

The most feasible way is for the strong man to break his wrist and withdraw with the speed advantage of the cavalry, so that the remaining thousands of soldiers can continue to hold the mountain pass. First, it can confuse the main force of the Northwest Army, and second, even if it is detected by the Northwest Army, it can block them for a while and buy time for the evacuated cavalry!

Among these thousands of soldiers, only Baseileus's cavalry had the conditions for mobile evacuation, and if the whole army was evacuated together, it would inevitably be pursued by the Northwest Army. When the time comes, the terrain advantage will be lost, and thousands of Macedonian soldiers will only end up in annihilation in front of the iron cavalry of the Northwest Army.

With Baseleus's decisive temperament, he would not have chosen this path, so he had to leave these thousands of soldiers behind to gain time for the cavalry to evacuate.

Both Salul and Baseiles knew that the thousands of soldiers left behind must be dead or alive! And just as Salul said, among the several officers here, apart from Barcellus, only Salul had the most outstanding prestige and ability.

Once the Northwest Army found out that the Macedonian army was withdrawing, it would inevitably take advantage of the situation to storm and block these evacuated cavalry. At this time, the Macedonian army must have a general who is good at leading troops to fight in order to block the Northwest Army and gain time for the cavalry to evacuate.

Salul has been with Barcellus for many years, has a high prestige in the army, and is also a brave and battle-hardened general. There is no doubt that among these thousands of people, he is the only one who has the most ability to command the broken rear troops!

Barcelus naturally knew this, but he was extremely reluctant to let Salur break off. After all, Salul has followed him for many years, and he is one of the outstanding generals under his command, both in terms of martial arts and the ability to lead troops in battle.

All along, Barcelus has relied on his own talents, coupled with this group of generals who can fight well, to form such an elite golden armor.

Now that he wants to cut off his arm, Baseileus is naturally a little hesitant in his heart, but when he thinks of the 100,000 urgent military report he received that night, his heart can't help but be shocked again!

Finally, Baseileus's face changed a few times, and he regained his former calm gaze. He looked at Salul with a somewhat complicated expression, and finally spoke slowly:

"Salur obeys the order, you will be on duty tonight, and tomorrow the decisive battle will be fought by you, and the whole army will be handed over to you with full control! Tonight I will issue a military order and send a message to all battalions and regiments!"

At the end, Barcelus's eyes showed a little emotion, this Macedonian military god who was known for his cold and decisive decisions on the battlefield, looked at Salur with a complicated face at the moment, but he didn't say a word after all.

Salul smiled calmly, was silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke:

"Lord Baseled, do you remember how long I followed you?"

Baseileus was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "You entered the Eighth Army eight years ago, and you have been by my side for eight years. ”

"So I've been following the adults for eight years......" Salur smiled, but there was a look of emotion in the eyes of this seemingly rough man, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise:

"I remember that eight years ago you were a conscription in a tribe in eastern Macedonia, when I was a hairy boy who didn't know anything.

Because I ran into a few forcibly recruited soldiers and fought with them, it happened that you passed by there, and I was taken by you and was incorporated into your personal army.

I still remember the first thing adults said to me at that time was: 'You just follow Lao Tzu! In the future, only you can bully others, and no one dares to bully you anymore!', haha!

It is because of these words that I, Salur, have made up my mind to follow you, my lord, and I have also been promoted from a small personal soldier to the commander of the Eighth Legion, and all this is given to me by you!"

When Barcellus heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and looked at Salur with a somewhat complicated expression: "Salul, you ......"

Salur laughed loudly, his face full of heroism and arrogance!

"My lord, please rest assured, on the battlefield tomorrow, even if your subordinates fight to the death, they will not let the Northwest Army cross the mountain pass!"

After he said this, he didn't even pay attention to Barcelus's expression, and directly opened the military tent and walked out. Ignoring the stunned looks on the faces of the soldiers outside the tent, Salul looked at the large firelight surging in the camp of tens of thousands of Northwest Army outside the mountain pass, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice:

Eight years ago, at night, I was in the barracks in golden armor, and I saw a scene even more than this...... )
