Early the next morning. The soldiers of Sidon were surprised to find that the besieging Asman army not only did not launch a new offensive, but quickly retreated to the southwest. The tents outside Sidon disappeared overnight.

"What the hell is going on? What are the Asmans doing?"

The lieutenant general of Sidon City, Narondo's brother Chris, looked at the scene outside the city and was very puzzled. He quickly reported the news to General Gut, the defender of Sidon City.

"Anyway, we can finally catch our breath for the time being!" said Gut softly as he stood at the head of the city and looked at the distant enemy. After listening to Chris's military intelligence report, the general, who was already determined to go with the city, rushed to the city.

"Chris, these sons are working you, you should hurry up and rest. I'll send out scouts to see what the Assmans are up to. ”

Chris nodded, Chris and Naron are mostly brothers, but Xingge is going to two extremes. Narondo, who was innovative and adventurous, made all sorts of bizarre remarks about marching battles, and was often ridiculed by the nobles and generals of the Empire. Chris, on the other hand, is simple, steady, persevering, and a very good defender. After the First World War in Sidon, he made the most of his strengths. Using various methods, he stubbornly resisted the Asman attack and became General Gut's greatest helper.

"O Asmans. It's really strange, first expelling the people to put the city of Sidon in a difficult situation, then surround it without fighting, and finally retreat with a few frenzied bites, what do they want to do?" Gut thought bitterly as he looked at the desolate battlefield.

On October 15ri, the Roman battlefield underwent significant changes.

Princess Naya, the commander of the Southern Front, concentrated nearly 500,000 troops of two legions and launched a fierce attack on the Left Army of Assman. A fierce battle ensued in the city of Plisseny.

On October 17, the inhabitants of the city staged a large-scale riot, burning most of the Asman army's grain, grass and logistics supplies. Hans carried out a bloody massacre of the people inside the city, killing nearly 30,000 young men and their bodies and throwing their bodies out of the city.

On October 18ri, the Huoyun army was full of hatred and siege the city, and the officers and soldiers sacrificed their lives and forgot to die for revenge, Naya ordered two earth magisters to cooperate with 5,000 dead soldiers to open a gap in the northern city wall, and once occupied the city wall, but then was counterattacked by the Asman army, and none of the 5,000 dead survived.

On the night of October 21, Hans saw that the purpose of consuming the Huoyun army had been achieved. In accordance with Brooke's pre-war instructions, the whole army withdrew from the city of Pliseny. Retreat to the Asman border. However, when retreating to the border, he was stubbornly resisted by the cavalry led by Nalan, and according to Naya's instructions, before the battle started, Nalan led 80,000 cavalry to attack Milo, a border town connected to the Asman and the fire cloud, and choked the throat of the Asmans fleeing south. When Nalan fought a bloody battle with the Left Army, Naya led the Fifth and Sixth Army Corps to kill later, and the Left Army suffered heavy casualties. In the end, Hans led his troops to desperately break through the siege, and with nearly 100,000 remnants, retreated to the territory of Assman, and moved into defense with the border troops.

In this battle, the Asman army lost nearly 150,000 people, including 100,000 people and more than 50,000 wounded and captured. And the casualties of the Fire Cloud Emperor's ** team were as high as nearly 100,000. This battle succeeded in crushing the Assman Left Army. Recovered all the lost territory in the province of Roman. It was the Empire's greatest victory since the outbreak of fighting on the Southern Front, and it fundamentally reversed the tide of passive warfare.

On October 30, when the news reached Yan Tian's hands, the prince excitedly ran into George's bedroom.

"Father, there is good news on the battlefield on the southern front!"

"Oh?" George, who was lying on the bed recuperating, was a little more stunned when he heard this, and the queen beside him also looked happy.

"My sister organized two legions of 500,000 men in the Roman province to launch a large-scale attack on the Asmans, crushed the Asman Left Army in one fell swoop, recaptured the city of Priseny, and recovered the lost territory of the Roman province. ”

Shi Yan said, handing the battle report to George's hand.

"Alas, there was finally a big victory. However, the loss of the people is too great. My daughter is still acting too inconsiderately. After reading the war report, George was in a much better mood, but still let out a heavy sigh for the terrible price paid by the people.

"When my sister sent people into the city to organize a popular uprising, she did not expect to be retaliated against by Hans so strongly, and the abandonment of Sidon City was also based on the overall situation of the battlefield, so she had to do so. It's good that she's able to do this!" Shi Yan defended Naya.

"I'm not blaming her, I'm just thinking that if the war goes on like this, we will take back the land, just patches of scorched earth, dead cities. How do we deal with the people? That kid seems to have said: Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer. What is the point of a war when it comes to fighting this? Shiyan, you must remember that when a country cannot protect its own people, it loses the meaning of its existence. Therefore, those who govern the country should first consider the people, rather than the gains and losses of one city and one place. “

During George's reign, there was only ten years of peace, and the old man had a deep understanding of war. Moreover, as he grew older, he also had a deeper understanding of power and status, and he was also deeply worried about the future of the Fire Cloud Empire. The child remembered. Listening to George's words, Shi Yan pondered for a moment before answering softly. "Let's announce the news. The empire is now like a sick man who needs such a good medicine. George concluded.

The propaganda organs of the empire immediately launched a huge propaganda, and the news of the victory of the Roman province soon spread throughout the major provinces of the empire. In one fell swoop, the Emperor ** team defeated the Asman army on the left, annihilated 150,000 enemies, and recovered the entire territory of Roman Province. “

In the streets and alleys of Didu, the loud cries of the newsboys attract a large number of pedestrians to pay for newspapers. People are talking and spreading the good news. The originally silent didu has become a sea of joy. All of a sudden, the beautiful imperial princess became the embodiment of the "God of War", and Nalan also became a hero with great achievements, the perfect lover in the hearts of many beautiful girls, and everyone's eyes were focused on this pair of young men and women.

However, their brilliance was soon overshadowed by another person.

Five days later, the Imperial official announced a more shocking news: the hero of the Empire, the leader of the "Fire Cloud Iron Army", Count Liuyun Kaide successfully escaped the encirclement and suppression of tens of thousands of Asman's army, returned to the Roman Province, and led 6,000 people to rush thousands of miles to help Sidon City. In the early morning of July 21, a surprise attack on the Asman army. Tens of thousands of enemies were annihilated, and then a fierce battle with the Assman army west of the city of Sidon was carried out, and more than 30,000 enemies were annihilated. In the early morning of July 22, Count Liuyun personally led a hundred soldiers to attack the headquarters of the Assman army at night, seriously injuring his commander Brooke. Second, hundreds of thousands of Asman's army retreated to the city of Patna in a hurry, the siege of Sidon was lifted, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were saved. In this battle, the heroes of the empire fought against the nearly 600,000 army of Assman with thousands of men, inflicting heavy losses on their commanders, forcing the enemy to retreat on all fronts, and creating another miracle in the history of imperial warfare.

The god-making movement that had calmed down was pushed to the top again, and the glorious World War established Liuyun's status as the "god of war" in the minds of the people.

The news did not mention that the crossbow cavalry, magic master, and magic controller who appeared in this battle attracted the attention of the entire continental country. And some people in the upper echelons of the empire were also shocked by the appearance of such a powerful force around Liuyun. The Cade family already has a marshal and a legion commander. At this time, there was another character like Liuyun, which couldn't help but make many people frightened. A force that balances the Cade family, under the organization of people with hearts, is slowly screwed together.

When Liuyun and Iverson's three regiments converged and escaped Langton's pursuers, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After Iverson counted the personnel of the three regiments, he said to Liuyun with a deep heart: "Commander, we have suffered nearly 6,000 casualties in this battle. ”

"Give me the casualties of my troops. ”

"More than 150 casualties in the Black Hawk Duli battalion, more than 500 casualties in the cavalry battalion, more than 1,500 casualties in the other three battalions, more than 2,000 casualties in the cavalry led by General Ringer, and more than 1,500 casualties in General Mogo's troops. ”

After listening to Iverson's report, Liuyun was speechless for a long time. "It's all my goddamn effort. After the first battle, he was beaten to half-crippled again. “

Mogo stepped forward and patted Liuyun on the shoulder. He smiled heartily and said, "What's wrong, I'm distressed? You must know that the battlefield is also a training ground, and it is also a kind of natural elimination." Don't overthink it. "Yes, as long as the war continues, there will be bloodshed. We are proud of the results we have achieved. Long Yun also comforted. "It's all the flesh of my heart, this stab hurts, damn, if I knew, I wouldn't have to talk nonsense, and cut off Brooke's head with a knife. “

Liuyun looked up to the sky and roared, venting the depression in his heart.

A few days later, after receiving news that the Asmanic army had retreated to the city of Patna, Narondo made contact with the defenders of Sidon, and the three regiments marched towards the city of Sidon. "How do you feel about this battle?" asked Liuyun as he rode his horse to Narondo and Iverson. "I fully felt the power of special warfare, this method of warfare, and even has the power to turn the tide of the war. Narondo was still immersed in the excitement of Operation Decapitation.

"I did find a common problem with the mainland army. That is, once something happens to the commander-in-chief, the army will quickly retreat. Iverson said.

"Yes, our operation was also launched in response to this. Liuyun smiled.

The "decapitation" tactic, which is to hit the enemy in the head instead of injuring his body, by attacking the enemy's chain of command, resulting in the overall paralysis of the enemy army. In modern warfare, where individual combat capability is extremely strong, the troops are divided into many duli combat units, and they have the ability to carry out combat missions alone, they are all extremely powerful. Therefore, in a continental war in which the commanders were mainly under their personal command, this tactic was even more lethal.

"Hundreds of thousands of Asman's troops were actually repulsed by us like this. I still can't believe it. Iverson continued.

"Therefore, in the future, while we pay attention to the combat capability of individual soldiers, we must also let the troops form the combat capability, and commanders at all levels must also set up agents before the war. ”

"What do you mean by an agent?" asked Narondo, puzzled.

"Ri, even if I'm dead, the battle will still have to be fought! Liuyun explained helplessly. At this time, a new idea began to sprout in his mind.

When they arrived at Sidon, General Gut and Adjutant Chris personally greeted at the door, and they already knew that it was this unit that relieved the siege of Sidon. But he didn't expect that the army that broke the siege was only a few thousand, and it looked like all the remnants of the army were defeated.

"You have done a miracle, Lord Count. As he walked into the city, Gut said happily beside Liuyun. His position is higher than Liuyun's, so he chose to be called by a knighthood.

"You have defended the dignity of a soldier, General Gut. Liuyun looked at the refugees all over the city. Respect for the general welled up in my heart. Soldiers are ruthless and cold-blooded on the battlefield, but they should have infinite affection for their own people. General Gut's willingness to take in the population at a risk earned him respect.

Under the eaves of the street, an old man sat against the wall, a teenage boy,* in the arms of the old man, looking quiet and dull, looking blankly at the sky. The war made this innocent child lose the liveliness and vitality that he should have.

Looking at the brigade of soldiers coming from the city gate, the old man excitedly said to his grandson in his arms: "Child, look. It was the army of the Empire that drove away the Asmans. Grandpa is going to take you home. ”

This scene made the bloodthirsty and ruthless Liuyun on the battlefield feel sour. "It is a dereliction of duty on the part of the military to let the population suffer as a result of the aggression of the enemy. ”

For a long time, Liuyun has not really integrated into this world. But looking at these poor people, he felt a deep pain in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the words of a great man: "I am the son of the people, and I deeply love my motherland and people." ”

"Perhaps, as a soldier, I also fell in love with the country of Huoyun and the people here. Although, I'm from another world. ”
