Chapter 160: The First Battle

After Ted sent off Steve's cronies, he had time to pick up the frontline report and read it carefully.

It's just that the world is unpredictable, the door has just been closed, Ted picked up the report and didn't look at two lines, and the news came from the walkie-talkie...

"Sir, this is the front-line command post, and I'm Mueller! The enemy is in the range of artillery bombardment, what should we do? Do you want to catch the live mouth or wipe it out? ”

According to imperial tradition, all of these decisions require Ted's orders, but he is not good at dealing with these issues, and Ted thinks Chris is better at it!

But since Mueller asked, he still had to use his brain: "What is the latest investigation report?" ”

MΓΌller picked up the folder in his hand, flipped to the next page, and briefly elaborated in his own words: "Uh... Hold on... That is true! The troops are divided into two parts! The front part is the banner of the Southern Empire, and the rear is a small green creature."

"Listen to Raphael of the Dragons: These little animals are a parasitic race from the southern continent, called Goblins..."

"Wellβ€”" Ted touched his chin, wondering if the idea in his head was correct...

Compared with before, his current orders are related to tens of thousands of lives! The responsibility is too great, and Ted doesn't think he has the intelligence and qualifications to handle it himself...

But as the saying goes, when you don't know what's right or wrong, just ask 'Yuanfang'!

"Mueller, what do you think?"

Everyone was accustomed to giving orders from the lord, and being asked such a question surprised Mueller!

But he has a habit of writing battle plans, and then turned to the next page: "I don't know the specific reason for this yet, but depending on the situation, the goblins are chasing and killing the southern humans, and I think we can detain the humans first, disarm them, and annihilate the outsiders, and then deal with the 'own home' affairs!" ”

Ted agrees with this idea!

At this point, he really planned to put aside the military power in his hands a little!

Almighty warriors do exist, but they are definitely not themselves.

It's time to transfer the rights partially to someone else...

Sooner or later, the territory and the country will have to move into the future, and the productive forces will progress, and the ideology will have to keep up, otherwise it will still be a primitive society, and sooner or later it will collapse due to unequal distribution.

"Muller, you don't need to ask my opinion in the future for things like this, there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, there is a specialization in the arts, and it may be okay for me to command one or two battles, but it is better for you to decide on something like this that relies on the intuition of the soldiers, or the way of fighting..."

Having said that, this matter is an exception, and if it is not handled well by the royal families of other countries, it will be a serious diplomatic accident, and it is easy to trigger a conflict that could have been avoided: "But... It's not just about warfare, it's about the country's external decisions..."

Ted covered his head and didn't know what to do, in the end, he could only provide a general direction for the development of the territory, and he couldn't control every detail!

"In terms of diplomacy, Chris is more proficient, and our responsibilities in the north are divided in detail, and my decision must be screened and corrected by Chris and the think tank before it can be issued!"

Listening to what the lord said, Mueller seemed to understand, but he didn't quite understand: "This... I still don't quite understand! ”

When Ted was planning to decentralize the power, he thought about it for a long time...

At last! For the sake of the development of the world, Ted intends to gradually let go of power...

"It's very simple, we are all human beings, we will all be on top, and we will be willful! At some point, some decisions may be made that are out of line and irreversible. It's like the culprits who provoked the war, this group of people from the Southern Empire! According to my own intentions, I may just order you to open fire and blow all the intruders to slag! ”

As the general of the army, Mueller also wants to do this, even if the people in the north and other regions of the empire do not get along, but before the national interests and the great right and wrong! He must establish the correct three views!

Because he understood the truth of his lips and teeth: "Sir, if you want to do this, I can give the order to open fire immediately!" ”

Ted shook his head, sat down in his chair and told the truth, without hiding the slightest.

After all, Mueller is the army general he intends to train, and the future affairs of the army will all depend on him: "No need! Paper can't contain fire, no matter how much we block the news, the emperor on the other side is killed by us, and this kind of explosive news will definitely be spread! ”

"If you do this, it will definitely cause a series of chain reactions, allowing the already precarious Xueman Empire to continue the war! Besides, the battle for the heir in the empire has begun, and it will only add to the chaos! ”

"At an inopportune time, if you make a bad decision, the butterfly effect will cause the chess game to collapse completely, and everyone will be buried because of our decision, which is the last thing I want to see!"

Muller was on the other side of the walkie-talkie, looking at the documents in his hands, especially the cruel battle plans that had been crossed out, which looked particularly hot now! I couldn't help but wake up to myself in my heart: "It seems that the order can't be given casually!" At least go through the brain! ”

He savored what the lord had said, and finally understood why he would give the power in his hands to others.

"I see, sir! You are the supreme commander, give us a direction, and we'll take care of the rest! ”

Ted put down the glass of water in his hand and praised, "That's what it means!" Now, the direction is to keep a low profile! It's not time for us to go out of the mountains, try to solve problems in the most conservative way possible! If you think about it, you can contact Chris immediately, I read the report, they are still fifteen kilometers away from you! Enough for you to come up with a solution! ”

"Yes!"

Muller already had a general direction in mind, so he connected to the channel of the town hall!

"This is Mueller, is Mr. Chris there?"

At this moment, Chris was reading the newspaper, eating doughnuts, drinking afternoon tea, waiting for documents or orders by the way, and this unexpected call cheered him up: "I am, please speak!" ”

"Have you heard about me?"

Even if Chris is not in charge of the military, he will record these documents and store them in the archives: "I know! There's an unidentified group approaching, and you're dealing with it! Can... Logically speaking, this aspect is not under our control, right? ”

Mueller hurriedly explained what he meant: "Your Excellency said that the military is indeed handed over to me to deal with... But here's the thing: some of the people who came were from the southern royal family! If it is not handled well, it will definitely cause a serious diplomatic accident, and at this juncture, it is certainly not a good way to start a conflict and let the two countries go to war, so I will ask you what you mean..."

"Well... Then we do have to intervene..."Clever Chris, it doesn't take long to think! He quickly came up with a solution based on his years of experience.

"Capture the emperor and prince on the other side alive, and others who do not surrender, you can dispose of them at will! According to the current situation, as long as the emperor is not dead, he will not tear his face and turn his face! ”

"Got it! Thank you! ”

"You're welcome!"

...

Getting accurate results, Mueller instantly had an idea, he turned to the staff officer in front of him and told the battle plan...

"Order all troops, don't fire at the royal family, they are important bargaining chips! As long as the enemies of mankind lay down their weapons and take off their armor, they will all be spared death, and if they dare to resist, they will be shot on the spot! ”

"As for the goblin troops in the rear, according to the hint of the landlord Raphael, they are maggots from another continent, and they have set foot on our territory, which is equivalent to declaring war on us! Don't be merciful, just destroy them! ”

"Yes!"

The task has been issued, and within ten minutes, the whole army knows about it!

When the war was about to begin, Mueller looked at the cuirass in front of a soldier and asked the staff officer, "By the way, are the soldiers wearing protection?" ”

"I'm all wearing them! Bulletproof cuirass can not only be bulletproof, but also puncture-proof and chopping! It is said that it was remade from the scraps of heavy industry, and it is strong and durable! ”

"Then I'm much more relieved! Remember to let the Heavy take it easy, don't press your right index finger against the crowd! If you see it and fight again, it won't end well until the royal family makes a big trouble! ”

"Understood!"

...

At this moment, the troops are ready for battle!

When they saw the smoke and dust gradually rising in the distance, everyone cheered up!

"Attention departments, the latest news has come from the reconnaissance plane, there is a distance of about 8 kilometers between the two troops, that is to say, we only have one hour at most to deal with the affairs of the Southern Empire, and we are optimistic about the flare guns! If there is an accident, shoot directly, leaving only the southern emperor as a bargaining chip! All those who resist will be shot on the spot! ”

...

Half an hour later, the troops of the Locke Empire came to a stop 300 meters in front of the northern position...

When they stopped and looked up at the position in the distance, MΓΌller turned up the power of the speaker to the maximum!

He picked up the microphone and said, "100 meters ahead, you will set foot on the land of the Earl of Highlington in the north!" Explain the meaning! Otherwise, don't blame us for being unkind! ”

"This..."The emperor, who was sitting in the chariot, heard the earth-shattering loud horn outside, and felt that the previous bad premonition seemed to be about to come true.

However... The generals outside don't think so! He looked at the waste hiding in the fortifications with disdain, as if he were looking at a group of turtles! I don't even have the courage to confront him head-on!

Seeing this, he turned his body sideways and teased with the people around him: "I didn't expect this weak chicken nobleman to actually put on a mask and turn over the salted fish!" ”

Hearing that your own lord is so disdainful of the enemy on the opposite side, it seems to be a gesture! The other side can be wiped out!

So, they also followed the meaning of the main general and began to fart rainbows: "Yes! The general is right! The salted fish has turned over, and it is still a salted fish! Can't change the essence! ”

"That's it! Such enemies, I just have to roll my eyes at them! They're going to be crushed! ”

"Hahahaha! I only need one man and one horse, and I can take the head of the enemy's main general in the army! ”

"That's it, that's it! I..."

...

A few minutes later, everyone was still bragging again!

But the general realized one thing! That's... It's not a wise move to talk here, because the enemy behind you hasn't been thrown off yet, and you have to enter the Gobi in the north first!

Every minute wasted now increases the risk in the later stages!

In order to solve the enemy in front of him as soon as possible, the main general intends not to talk about martial virtues, not to follow the ancestral system, not to declare war, not to duel! Lead the cavalry charge directly!

He wanted to use the spear and broadsword in his hand to try to tear through a concrete fortification with heavy firepower weapons!

In his opinion, these are all flower fists and embroidered legs! Therefore, he came to the outside of the emperor's chariot and spoke loudly to attract the attention of the people around him: "Your Majesty, when the ministers use a back and forth charge to solve the enemy, I will take you to the north!" ”

Seeing the confident appearance of his generals, the emperor planned to anesthetize himself and deceive himself that they would definitely break through the defense line and go to the safe zone: "Good! Then I wish you a victorious start! ”

With permission from the Emperor, the general immediately reorganized the ranks and put the heavily armored knights at the front!

"Warriors of the Locke Empire! It's time to fight for Your Majesty! Raise your spears and wield your swords! Let the blood of the enemy sing our war song! Listen to me! Get ready to charge! ”

At this moment, inside the northern camp, Mueller heard the other party say this, and always felt that his side was the one with the wicked and the unjust...

"These people are really, shouting slogans that seem to be righteous, and always doing things that make people ashamed!"

"Hey..."

Mueller let out a long sigh, picked up the microphone, and gave the first warning to the enemy who was starting to charge: "Hurry up and stop your attack, or we will counterattack!" ”

The first warning, the other side did not take it seriously, but accelerated the progress and kicked on the horse's belly! Rush to the position!

On the Gobi, the neighing of war horses, the sound of iron hooves hitting the sand and gravel, and the sound of shouting and killing are constantly echoing on the battlefield!

And at this time, the distance between the two armies was only 200 meters!

Mueller shook his head and picked up the microphone to issue one last warning: "This is the last warning!" Stop your attacks! Surrender now! ”

Listening to the 'surrender' demand from the enemy, the lord of the Locke Empire commanded in a loud voice: "Knights of the Empire, for God!" For Your Majesty! Tear the enemy in front of you! ”

After shouting, the Lord General put down the mask of his helmet, and when the distance was about 100 meters, he raised his spear and rushed to the front!

At the same time, the speed of the war horse is getting faster and faster!

Mueller picked up the walkie-talkie again, looked at the dead people in front of him, shook his head helplessly, and ordered: "Fire!" ”

A red flare flies into the sky! Even in the daytime, people can see the bright colors and hear the piercing sound...

After receiving the commander's order to fire, all the soldiers adjusted the muzzles of their weapons and poured out their firepower at once against the cavalry charging in front!

Between the lightning and flint, tens of thousands of bullets tore through the air, and turned into a messenger of hell to ask for his life!

Watching the overwhelming points of light flying towards him, this confident master regretted it...

In the dark, he saw God...

It's just that before he could see the people around God clearly, his face was crushed by the original iron hooves behind him! Life passed quickly, and the pain lasted less than a second, and he lost consciousness completely...

Wherever the bullets went, there was no grass, and these primitive plate knights didn't know until they died that the flying tracer 'peanuts' would have such great power...

Just 9 seconds! Before the cavalry could scream, they were shot and killed, lying in a pool of blood.

Whether it was the war horse or the knight wearing plate armor on it, all of them were killed in the first round of attacks, and none of them survived!

Mueller put down the telescope in his hand, picked up the microphone and ordered again: "Attention units!" Cease fire! ”

The order for a ceasefire was given, and all the soldiers released the index finger of their right hand holding the trigger and waited for the smoke to clear...

Five minutes later, when the smoke and dust cleared, everyone was dumbfounded!

It was the first time for the northern troops to fight, and even if everyone was mentally prepared, they didn't expect the guy in their hands to be so sharp?

20,000 guns of all kinds, just one round of strafing, the 10,000 heavily armored knights who attacked in the first wave were raised!

This was unimaginable before!

If you want to raise 10,000 knights, you have to pay at least 6 times the casualties to repel them!

Seeing this, an inexplicable sense of superiority floated out of my heart...

Mueller shook his head, sighed, and said, "Times have changed! ”

The staff officer next to him picked up the notepad on the table and recorded the combat situation: "Yes! Times have indeed changed! According to calculations, in less than ten seconds, 100,000 rounds of ammunition were consumed, and thanks to the lack of experience on the opposite side, we were able to quickly resolve the battle by charging in a dense formation! ”

"That's true!"

Ahead, after the emperor of the Locke Empire saw all this, he had a retreat in his heart...

In more than ten seconds, 10,000 elite knights in heavy armor were gone, and before they could even see the appearance of the enemy, they were traced through their bodies by the tracer 'peanuts'...

"It's... Is it witchcraft? Or... Fall back? ”

It's just that there is a wolf behind him and a tiger and leopard in front, no matter where you go, you will die!

"Am I going to die here? I'm unwilling! ”

Just as the emperor himself was complaining about heaven and earth, Muller picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "Listen to the front, you have only one choice!" That's surrender! Now put down your weapons and take off your armor! Dismount! Hold your head in your hands! Take your time! ”

As soon as the emperor heard that there was a way to live, when life and death were at stake, he did not follow the advice of the people next to him, let alone continue to rush with his troops, but walked out of the chariot, held the imperial flag in his hand and shouted: "Surrender!" ”

The soldiers who originally planned to fight to the death were also confused when they saw that the emperor had surrendered first, but they were just soldiers and could only obey the emperor's order: surrender!

"Wait... The ministers want to fight to the death! Why did Your Majesty descend first? ”

"This..."
