Chapter 348: The Second Division Disobeys
readx;
On the 12th of the Imperial calendar, the Blood God Cult Skeleton Army arrived at the fortress of Sit, a day earlier than Mogo had expected. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This is the army that pursued the Fire Phoenix Legion, and these skeletons were all warriors of the Fire Phoenix Legion before they died. Led by the Red Priest, they arrived at the fortress of Sith and once again fought against their former comrades.
When the red-clothed divine envoy led them in pursuit of the Fire Phoenix Legion, they were met with stubborn resistance from the first division of the Fire Phoenix Legion. Although they eventually wiped out the first division that stood in the way, the sacrifice of the first division bought enough time for the Fire Phoenix Legion to withdraw from the battlefield.
Seeing that there was no hope of catching up with the Fire Phoenix Legion, the Red-clothed God Mission army stopped advancing, and then sent someone to report the situation to the sect leader. The Blood God Sect Leader immediately ordered this army to rush directly to the fortress of Sith to complete the encirclement of the defenders and launch a tentative attack at the same time.
For the Fortress of Set, where the Fire Phoenix Legion and the Black Eagle Legion were stationed together, the Sect Leader of the Blood God Sect did not dare to take it lightly. In addition, in the previous battle, these two armies used the Lovezao and the magic spear to almost completely wipe out the vanguard he sent, and he became extremely cautious. These 10,000 skeleton soldiers with weak combat effectiveness, he plans to use cannon fodder to consume the defense of the fortress. In this way, when the Blood Skeleton troops attack the fort, they will suffer more casualties.
The battle began when the Skeleton Army surrounded the fortress.
A terrible siren sounded from the outpost towers outside the fortress, and soon a rapid alarm sounded inside the fortress.
The officers and men of the 2nd Iron Division soon entered a combat state.
The magicians who had been transferred from the Military Command Academy also entered the bunkers on the city walls.
Accompanied by Is, Mogo climbed the city wall to inspect the enemy.
"It seems that this should be the skeleton of those dead warriors of the Fire Phoenix Legion at the foot of Mount Sylman. It's not the same as the Blood Skull army we stopped at the Seat Bridge. Isis said, looking at the skeleton army in the distance.
"From the looks. It's similar to the description of the officers and soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Legion. The number of people is also similar. It should be them. I really didn't expect it. It's the same emperor. After the separation of life and death. Will see you again in this way. Mogo sighed.
He couldn't help but think in his heart: If the officers and soldiers of the Second Iron Division were killed. Appear in front of yourself in this way. What should he do?
Come to think of it. He felt that his men were dead in battle. But fortunately. After all, they will be able to sleep peacefully from now on. Their corpses were not desecrated.
"The Blood God Cult this army. After a fierce battle with the Fire Phoenix Legion, which is responsible for breaking the first division. There were also nearly 2,000 casualties. This shows that their combat power is comparable to that of Blood Skeletons. There is a certain gap. Seemingly. We don't have to worry too much about it right now. This army alone. They can't take the fortress," Mogo said.
When the two were talking. Two thousand skeletons. Under the command of several blood-clothed messengers. Divide into teams. The first wave of attacks on the fortress was launched from all sides.
The skeletons quickly reached the first line of fortifications two kilometers in front of the fortress.
This is a circular ribbon-like area centered on the fortress, more than 300 meters wide, and there are many traps during this period. For the human army, these more than 300 meters are an insurmountable moat, and every step forward must pay the price of blood. However, for these skeletons of the Blood God Cult, these traps work uniquely. It was to delay their attack. After all, these traps were designed to target flesh and blood, and no one had ever thought of using them against a pile of bones.
The skeletons kept falling into traps and quickly crawled out again. More than two thousand skeletons, with minimal casualties when passing through this trap, easily broke through the first line of fortifications of the fortress.
However, immediately after the breakthrough, they were devastated. In the area of 1,500 to 1,200 meters from the fortress. There are a large number of Love's creations buried, forming what Liuyun calls a "minefield". The Love-made structure arranged here has been modified by Voslov to become a trigger fuse, which is detonated when the external pressure reaches a certain critical point. ”
Naya nodded: "Well, the Blood God Sect army is much more terrifying than we estimated, and once those blood skeletons reach the fortress, no one knows how long they can hold it." Hopefully, they will find a way to deal with the Blood God Cult in time. ”
Mogo knows. When Naya speaks of them, she is actually referring to "him". At this time, the leader has become the hope in everyone's hearts.
"Your Highness, Alexander will say that the chief is returning to the city of Priseli with the Black Hawk, and it is predicted that it will arrive in these two days. Leave the fortress to me for the time being, and you can rest well. ”
A flash of surprise flashed across Naya's face, which was quickly replaced by a faint sadness.
"In this case, it will be hard for the general. The fort defense is handed over to you for the time being. I'll let the Fire Phoenix Legion rest. However, when the main force of the Blood God Cult army arrived, the Second Iron Division had to be withdrawn and the Fire Phoenix Legion would deal with them. Naya said. She believed that relying on the fortress's own defenses, Mogo and the Second Iron Division should have no problem dealing with the skeleton army in front of them.
However, can she and her Fire Phoenix Legion be able to stop the Blood God Sect's army of Blood Skeletons?
Naya was completely unsure. But she didn't know for sure, and she had to push through.
"Since you believe in me, you have given me the fortress. I will definitely hold on until the moment you return. ”
Mogo hesitated. There was no answer.
"What, General Mo has an opinion about my arrangement?" Naya smiled.
"Your Highness. It's all this time, don't you have any other plans?" Mogo suddenly asked something strange.
Naya smiled bitterly, "I am the commander of the fortress, and my responsibility is to defend this fortress. I arranged this because the combat effectiveness of the Second Iron Division was stronger than that of my Fire Phoenix Legion, and it had to be used when the battle in the fortress was most critical. ”
"Your Highness, if you don't think about yourself, don't you think about the little boy?" Mogo didn't respond to Naya's words, and spoke straight to his heart.
Naya's body shook for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. When she woke up, the Rand Juggernaut had already told her that Mogo knew about the child.
If it had been in the past, Naya would have had a headache over it. But the enemy's army is overwhelming, and she can't care so much. Besides, Mogo knew about it, and maybe it wasn't a bad thing for her.
"When the time comes, I'll send him away. Naya whispered.
Mo Ge asked, "Why didn't Your Highness send him away as soon as possible? ”
"Send it away a day earlier, and I will be a lot more confident in my heart, but it's a hot taro," Mogo said in his heart. God knows, once something happens to the lucky guy, if the boss finds out in the future, what kind of consequences will be triggered.
"Because I want to spend more time with him. Maybe I won't have time for him anymore," Naya sighed.
When Mo Ge heard this, he panicked in his heart for no reason. Naya's words actually have a bit of a decisive flavor. It seems that once she sends the child away, she will never see him again.
"Your Highness, please rest assured, Mo Ge is willing to lead the Second Iron Master to protect His Highness to the death" Mo Ge suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of the princess and said excitedly.
Since following Liuyun, Mogo has gradually understood that a soldier should fight for the country and the people, not a tool in the hands of royalty and nobility.
But today. He still couldn't help but swear his life to protect the princess of the empire according to traditional knightly etiquette. For her, Naya is not only a member of the royal family, but also a symbol of the Fire Cloud Empire. Of course, her identity is more than that, after Liuyun returns, maybe she will also become his sister-in-law. No matter which way he looks at it, Mogo feels that as long as he still has a breath. It won't hurt her in the slightest.
Naya was stunned and quickly helped Mo Ge up: "General Mo doesn't have to be like this, Naya means that once the war breaks out." I, the commander, don't have time to accompany him. ”
"Your Highness, when the leader returns, you can get out of here," Mogo pleaded.
Naya shook her head: "General Mo, don't talk about this now, you fight with your heart"
In the time that followed, Naya and Mogo discussed the current battle situation and how to deal with the Blood God Cult.
But they all knew in their hearts that if Liuyun couldn't come back in time and find a way to deal with the Blood God Cult, the fortress would eventually be unable to hold.
13th of the Imperial Calendar. The Skeleton Army's assault on the fortress of Sith continues.
At the end of the first day of fighting, the army of the Red Oracle had lost nearly three thousand skeleton soldiers. Of these, two-thirds of the skeletons were swallowed up by the "minefield".
So today, he changed his attack method and sent skeleton soldiers, when approaching the minefield, using small units to enter the way, widening the gap between the troops, so as to reduce the casualties in the event of the Love's explosion. Consume the attack power of the "minefield". In response to this practice of the Blood God Cult, Mogo sent a detachment of magic spears, starting from the sentry tower, entering the "minefield", using the advantage of being familiar with the "minefield" to walk on the edge of death and eliminate the skeleton soldiers.
Even so, the "minefield" is still being destroyed by the Blood God Cult, and the number of Lovers is decreasing.
What worries Mogo even more is that. The Blood God Cult didn't seem to care about the casualties of the skeleton soldiers at all.
He knows. When these cannon fodder are almost dead, it is time for the Blood God Cult's Blood Skull troops to arrive. Then. The fortress of Sit will face a thunderous blow from the enemy.
When Mogo was struggling with how to deal with the main force of the Blood God Cult, he received a new order: he ordered the Second Iron Division to hand over the defense of the Fortress of Sit to the Fire Phoenix Legion, and then evacuate the fortress and return to Priseli City.
This order was issued by Alexander in the name of Liuyun, and Naya sent someone to deliver it after receiving it.
"Is Alexander drunk?" Mogo returned to the division, threw Alexander's warrant on the conference table, and cursed angrily, "It's all."
This order, in his opinion, was tantamount to letting the Second Iron Division flee in battle when the Blood God Sect army was pressing, and then using the Fire Phoenix Legion as a substitute for the dead ghosts. Carrying out this order will not only make Mogo's conscience uneasy, but also disgrace the Black Hawk Legion.
"Commander, what's wrong?" When Isis heard the news, he hurried over.
"On the table, see for yourself," Mogo said with a gloomy face.
After reading it, Is's face also changed.
"How can we leave at this time?"
"He's going to make me a deserter," Mogo slapped his palm on the table and roared.
Isis read the order from beginning to end again, and asked in confusion: "There are good reasons to retreat, but why don't you let the Fire Phoenix Legion withdraw? At this time, Her Royal Highness the Princess should not stay in the Fortress of Set, how could the Chief of Staff do this?"
"This bastard's head is watered, he is caught by the door, he is kicked by a donkey, and he is completely blind."
"Yes, doing so will not only chill the officers and soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Legion, but also chill the princess," Isis picked up Alexander's warrant again and studied it.
Mo Ge said categorically: "I will not carry out this order, Lao Tzu will disobey"
Yi Si couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this: "Division commander, disobedience on the battlefield, the consequences are quite serious, you have to think clearly."
"I can't care so much, I commit military discipline and lose my head. When you are a deserter, you lose your land is the eighth generation of your ancestors."
After Mogo finished speaking, he turned and yelled outside the door.
"Herald, summon all the officers above the regimental level of the 2nd Division, and immediately go to the division headquarters for a meeting"
Having received the order, the officers rushed to the division headquarters. They had a premonition that something big was coming. Outside, the skeletons of the Blood God Cult were still wreaking, and if there was nothing important, the division commander would not let them leave their posts during the battle. "Commander, what's the urgency, I'm leading people to fight with those skeletons outside."
As soon as the commander of the third regiment entered the door, he shouted at the top of his voice.
He was a notoriously warmonger.
As the regiment commander, he should have stayed in the regimental command post, but he would often sneak to the front line of the battle to have a good time.
Of course. When he runs to the front line, it often means that the battle no longer needs to be commanded.
This time. Facing the small group of skeleton soldiers of the Blood God Sect, he was bored in the command post, and rushed into the minefield with the magic spear detachment.
Mogo grimaced and ignored him.
When everyone had arrived, Mogo said to Is: "Chief of Staff, read to everyone the latest orders of General Alexander, the staff officer of the Legion, and read them out of place."
Isis nodded.
"Order: In view of the current situation on the Roman battlefield, the Southwest Theater Command of the Empire has decided to adopt a strategy of shrinking the defense, concentrating the main forces and various forces on the city of Priseli. Engage in a decisive battle with the Cult of Blood Army. For this reason, the command decided that the Fire Phoenix Legion would continue to hold the fortress of Sit, resist the attack of the Blood God Cult army with all its might, and buy time for the decisive battle of Priseli City. After completing the handover of defense with the Fire Phoenix Legion before dusk today, the 2nd Iron Division of the Black Eagle Legion immediately withdrew from the fortress and returned to Priseli City overnight. Commander of the Empire's Southwest Theater Command, Count Liuyun. ”
After reading it, Isis added: "This order was issued by the chief of staff of the corps in the name of the corps commander. ”
This was Mogo's order, and he said to Is, "The boss can't do such a shameful thing, it's Alexander's idea." You have to make it clear to everyone."
"What do you think, let's hear it," Mogo asked with a sneer.
At first, there was silence, but slowly, there was a low chatter, and finally the room was like boiling water.
"I'll say it first," the commander of the third regiment stood up suddenly, pointing to the warrant in Is's hand and said sarcastically, "This is not an order, this is a piece of paper to wipe." Dirty Z Eagle Legion. You can't do such a thing."
"Forgive our local chief of staff, he may have been nervous lately. Since he's not normal. There is no need to carry out his order," the commander of the Second Regiment seemed more gentle, "Of course, we can also carry out this order, and history will evaluate us like this: The officers and men of the Second Iron Division defeated a regiment and a battalion in the battle of the West Special Bridge, which impressed the world. A few days later, the remaining officers and soldiers of the Second Iron Division secretly escaped from the fortress of Sith when the Blood God Cult army arrived, and their actions impressed the world again. ”
Then, the other officers also spoke one after another.
Finally, Mogo spoke.
"After listening to everyone's speeches, I suggest that the Second Iron Division, collective disobedience, now show up to vote. ”
Unanimously passed. Mogo smiled.
"Disobedience on the battlefield is the first time for me Mogo because I have never received such a order in my previous military career. The consequences of battlefield disobedience are extremely serious, and I think everyone knows very well, which means that the war is over and we can all be sent to military law. Since everyone is willing to accompany me, then when I go to the law, I will walk in front, if I want to go to the execution ground, I Mogo will also walk in front I think, you are the same as me, disobedience is not to deliberately break military discipline, but to be unable to violate your conscience, and you don't want to leave a history of shame to the glorious army of the Second Iron Division, and I don't want more stains on the flag of the Black Eagle Army I still remember clearly that day on the Daxing Mountain, a man of the Black Eagle Legion, an ordinary officer, was waiting for the commander of the Liuyun Army to return from Asman, I once said a very good thing in front of an imperial general: What about Lao Tzu's disobedience, I have never forgotten that he represents the integrity of the officers around the commander of the legion, and also represents the integrity of the Black Eagle Legion. Maybe I won't have the chance to lead troops in the future, but I won't regret the decision I made today, because at any time, when I encounter such an order, I, Mogo, will choose to disobey the order."
