Chapter Eighty-Six: Matters of the Heart

This person is none other than Higgins, the commander of the Fourth Army of the Ponsin Empire. At this moment, his body also exuded a cyan fighting spirit. The enemy leader couldn't help but gasp, he didn't expect that in Emperor Pang Xin[***], there was also a high-level swordsman. And this person looks so young.

Without saying much, the battle began immediately. Higgins's swordsmanship was taught by General Buck. He was not trained in the Demon Martial Arts Academy system, but he grew up in the war. His swordsmanship is fast and concise, crisp and neat, and his practical surname is extremely high. The two of them were on the roof, and in an instant, they had already fought more than a dozen swords.

Outside the town at the moment, arrows were raining down, and both sides were shooting with bows and arrows. The team slowly retreated back into the town while shielding themselves. And the pursuers of the Zhuang Khan Kingdom were also intercepted by Emperor Pang Xin's [***] arrow array, and they could not advance half a step.

Rao is like this, the [***] team also lost hundreds of fighters in this sortie. However, the enemy's operational goal of trying to fill the trench was not achieved.

The operation to hunt down and kill the raiders of the Zhuang Khan Kingdom in the town was nearing the end in a short time. Although these people are all good swordsmen, they can't beat many people after all. Under the attack of the [***] team's magic air-breaking arrows, more than half of the casualties have been killed. The rest is not fleeing in all directions, but still resisting stubbornly.

Higgins's battle with the enemy leader had already been decided. Although the two were swordsmen of the same rank, Higgins was closer to a warrior, a killing machine that had been tempered from countless hand-to-hand combat. When he fought less than thirty swords, he fought with his left arm to take a sword from the leader of the enemy army, and with a wave of the long sword in his right hand, he was instantly cut in two!

It's westward. Most of the main forces of the Zhuang Khan Kingdom arrived here overnight, and they were already exhausted at this moment. Since the first battle had no effect, the head of the king [***] ordered to camp and rest, in the hope of fighting again tomorrow.

The day's fighting seems to have come to an end. In the evening, a military meeting was held in the commander's tent of Duke Wen Khan to review the success or failure of today's battle and discuss the battle plan of Ming.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems from today's battle that our army wants to fill the trenches in front of us and use cavalry to carry out the assault. It seems that it is difficult to achieve without paying a huge price. In that case, we have to change our operational approach. My opinion is to attack steadily and steadily, with archers and infantry to attack. As long as you cross that trench, you can charge the defenders of the town. Not to quickly defeat the enemy, but to take advantage of the chaos to let the sappers fill the trenches. As long as this obstacle is removed, then our 200,000-strong army can attack on all fronts, and within a day, the enemy will be completely annihilated. Look, is this plan feasible?"

"Your Excellency, you are the commander-in-chief of the whole army, and this is the only feasible plan at the moment. So how to execute it, you can give the order!"

"Well, after the attack begins tomorrow, the three infantry brigades of the Mohan Army and the three infantry brigades of the Ying Khan Army will form the first attack force. All archers in the whole army should give the enemy defenders a covering and uninterrupted attack to ensure that the infantry can cross the ditch smoothly. As soon as they successfully crossed the ditch, the infantry launched a strong assault on the town of Sorad. The sappers, under the cover of the infantry, made every effort to fill the ditch. After the obstacle was removed, the remaining two armies quickly supported the front-line attacking forces and went into battle. This battle must be over before it gets dark tomorrow. If the enemy defenders escape, there is no need to pursue!"

"Yes, sir!"

It was dark, and after a day of tentative fighting, the officers and men of both armies entered a state of rest. In the town of Solard, after a simple bandage, Commander Higgins ordered his men to collect feathered arrows from enemy troops throughout the town and distribute them to the soldiers as weapons for returning fire. At the same time, he went to inspect the position and visit the wounded, and was so busy that he couldn't even take care of food. He knew that the battle was just a tentative attack by the enemy. Ming said that the first war will be even more tragic and difficult. He had to do a lot of work to prepare the fighters.

The enemy soldiers who came to attack through the Liujin River during the day have almost been cleared. Even if a few fish slip through the net, it won't be a climate. What he is worried about now is that in what way will the army of the Zhuang Khan Kingdom attack the town of Solad?

At this moment, the support troops sent by Yanjing also stopped advancing fifty miles from Sola Town, resting and eating. According to the idea of General Lipsgow, the commander of the reinforcements, he was going to let the troops rest until midnight, and then immediately resumed the march. Strive to reach the destination at dawn and go into battle.

Koya was just an inconspicuous creep in this army. At this moment, he was standing guard on a small dirt slope fifty paces away from the stationing place of the troops. Although it is far from the battlefield, as an army, it is a necessary measure.

Britney took a bowl of hot vegetable soup, took two pieces of bread, walked to her master's side, and said, "Master Keya, come, let's have something to eat." After eating, you go back to rest, and I'll keep watch for you!"

Koya smiled and took the bread and said, "No, now that I'm a soldier, I can't have privileges in the army." This is the captain's order, and I dare not disobey it!"

Britney pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly, "It's just a squad leader, what's the big deal? Master, you are a holy swordsman of the Holy Sect, how lofty your status is, why do you still have to listen to the command of a squad leader?"

Keya took a bite of bread and said as he ate, "Although I am a swordsman, I don't know how to fight. Since you have come to the army, you have to obey the command of the army commander. The Great Sage also said that when I arrived in the army, I was an ordinary soldier. Forget your identity as the guardian of the holy sword, and obey the orders of the army in all actions. ”

"Really?" Britney sighed, and had to say no more. She picked up the spoon in the bowl, scooped a spoonful of vegetable soup, and said, "How can you just eat bread and not drink soup?" Come, sit down, I'll feed you!"

Keya is used to Britney's service. Even though he was in the barracks, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He sat down on the dirt slope and opened his mouth for Britney to feed him.

Britney also squatted down, first gently blew the vegetable soup in the spoon with her mouth, and then gently handed the spoon to Keya's mouth, and said, "Come, drink slowly, don't choke!"

It was late at night, and from time to time the chirping of unknown insects could be heard in the dark field. In the barracks, piles of bonfires were everywhere. Many soldiers, having filled their bellies, hurried to fall asleep.

But Judy couldn't sleep, she sat by the campfire, silently thinking about her thoughts. To be honest, her family didn't know about her joining the army this time. The father was busy preparing for war all day long, and he had no time to take care of her daughter. That day, she couldn't help herself at home, so she secretly ran to the Holy Sect to meet Koya. But he accidentally saw Keya solemnly return the holy sword to his uncle, and left the Holy Sect. She inquired with her uncle, and learned that Keya was ordered by the Great Holy Maiden to join the army to fight.

For some reason, Judy was always worried about him. The ghost sent the gods, and she did not hesitate to go and sign up. Although she is a woman, she is a swordsman. When the national crisis is at hand, as long as someone in the recruitment office is willing to contribute to the country, it doesn't care whether it is a man or a woman who asks to join the army. So she and Keya were placed in the same boot camp, and because they were both swordsmen, they were immediately selected to participate in this support operation.

Since it was not a regular army, Judy and Koya's squad consisted entirely of swordsmen. Of course, the squad leader is an experienced veteran. Although the swordsmen are excellent at swordsmanship, they do not know anything about marching and fighting. So I don't have any opinions on the management of the squad leader.

Just when she was marching during the day, Britney's words gave Judy a little hope in her heart. She understood that Koya only regarded her as a friend, and that the only woman he liked in his heart was Anne. But Britney's words woke her up that the imperial system allowed men to be polygamous. Keya's choice of Anne does not mean that he has no chance. She still has time to slowly try to make Koya fall in love with her.

It's just that the only thing that makes her unhappy is that Anne is not only her sworn enemy, but Anne's family is also her family's sworn enemy. Since the lifetime of Emperor Pierre I, these two families have been vying for power and profit. After nearly 200 years of struggle, the contradictions are already very deep. How can she let her and Anne live in peace and work together as a husband? Even if she wants to, her family will never agree to it!

This question made Judy very nervous.

The bonfire is burning, Judy is sad here, and Anne is also worried about her lover in Yanjing City. At this moment, she was lying on the bed, holding the pillow, and was looking forward to the day when she would reunite with Keya, and it would come soon.

It's just that she remembered another thing in her heart that made her unhappy. That stinky sissy, he was like that that that night, he couldn't help but touch himself, hum!

Not becoming a woman in the true sense of the word of the word made Anne feel lost and uneasy. Why? Didn't Koya love me? Or did he expect that he would die and wanted to leave me with an innocent body so that I could marry someone else in the future?

Do you think that after you die, I will marry someone else? Don't you know that in my heart, there is no room for any man but you? If you can die for the sake of the goddess, will I not die for you?

Anne is sad in her heart, why doesn't this sissy understand her own thoughts?

A night breeze blew, and although it was spring, it was still very cold on the plains at night. Britney couldn't help but shrink down and lean her head against Keya's side.

Keya felt it, so he said softly, "Is it cold?" Then you don't have to accompany me, go back and rest." In the middle of the night, we're still on our way!"

Regarding the master's order, Britney almost subconsciously said the word yes first. But as soon as she looked up, she shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, can I disobey your orders? If my master does not sleep, how dare I, as a slave, sleep?"

Koya sighed and gently reached out to take her in his arms. and turned her body sideways, shielding her from the wind. Britney smiled secretly, and although she was a few years older than Coya, she was now snuggled up to her master's arms like a bird.

After a while, she said softly, "It's so comfortable and warm in my master's arms!" I know I shouldn't, but ...... Can you let me stay a little longer?"

Keya smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as you want!"

"Thank you host......s! I...... I love you......"

ps: Today, I've been busy writing the outline of this book for a Taiwanese publishing house, the character introduction, the introduction of this episode, the cover requirements, the author's autobiography, etc. I'm sorry I can only write so many words! In addition, some people say that I write very badly about war scenes, and I admit that! After all, I am not good at describing such large scenes, and I don't usually read similar books, so it is really difficult to translate my imagination into words. But fortunately, this book is not a military novel, and the war scenes are only a small part. I tried my best to write, and everyone could make it up and watch it. I'm going to have the real heroine appear a hundred chapters before she appears. The story of the goddess's protector was only really entered at that time. A god, a person, what will happen between them?
