"You...! What do you want to do! Put the knife down! ”

Colonel Keno's tone began to panic, and those who didn't know it thought that he was surrounded by Lawrence.

Lawrence did not reply, but turned back to Lieutenant Seth and instructed, "Bring those prisoners to the front as well, and proceed according to the previous arrangement." ”

Subsequently, I saw more than 100 defenders of Giethoorn Bay being brought to the forefront by the five flowers.

What made Colonel Keno break out in a cold sweat on his forehead was that Lawrence directly ordered the soldiers to put their guns on the back of the heads of these prisoners of war, as if Colonel Keno was going to watch more than a hundred corpses bleed in the next second.

"You damn madman! Didn't your commander teach you the etiquette of war?! ”

Colonel Keno shuddered and shouted at Lawrence, and despite the bitter scolding, he couldn't help but order the soldiers to retreat a little bit, lest it really lead to a tragedy littered with corpses.

If the more than 100 prisoners of war did not make Colonel Keno so alarmed, then General Bellan, who was now held hostage by Lawrence, made Colonel Keno dare not act rashly at all.

"War etiquette?" Lawrence chuckled and said:

"The standard of conduct of the victor is the etiquette of war, and now, do you want to consider the bargain I am talking about."

"You... What a deal. Colonel Keno wiped a cold sweat and asked in a deep voice.

"Let us go, and I'll let your people go."

"This..."

Colonel Keno gritted his teeth and began to struggle, he couldn't make a choice either way.

"Sir, you can't let these people go, it's in Giethoorn Bay—" A Genoese major saw Colonel Kino's hesitation, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in his ear.

However, before the major could finish speaking, Colonel Kino directly slapped him in the face in a rage, and shouted angrily:

"You pig! General Berlan is in the hands of the other party! ”

After venting his anger, Colonel Keno took a deep breath, barely calmed down, and shouted to Lawrence:

"I promise to let you leave safely, and in response, I need to see your sincerity."

Lawrence nodded and gave an order to Lieutenant Seth, "Lieutenant, release half of the captives. ”

He was not worried that Colonel Keno would immediately turn back after accepting this half of the prisoners, and both of them knew very well that none of the more than 100 prisoners of war present were as important as General Bellan.

Seeing the released captives rushing towards their own queue with relief, Colonel Keno's face became even more gloomy, and he squeezed out a sentence from the root of his teeth:

"Your Excellency, you may leave, but we will always keep a distance of three hundred meters from you until you release all the Genoese soldiers."

Lawrence nodded in understanding, and swaggered straight ahead while holding General Bellan hostage, and the Genoese soldiers in front looked at Lawrence through gritted teeth, but had to obediently give up a way and watch Lawrence walk straight in front of him.

The soldiers of the 4th Battalion looked at each other and hurried to keep up with Lawrence, the first time in their lives that they had so arrogantly passed through the encirclement of the enemy.

Even with a sharp blade in his neck, General Berlan remained expressionless, and it was not until Lawrence led the soldiers of the fourth battalion through the encirclement of Genoese soldiers that he sighed and said:

"Lawrence Bonaparte, I have to say, you are mean, but wise."

Lawrence smiled and put the dagger back on his waist, let General Bellan walk beside him, and responded with a light smile:

"That's great, I've heard that people like that have the last laugh."

General Belland glanced at Lawrence and whispered:

"And it does."

......

By 2 p.m., the two forces had marched to the border between Corsica and Genoa.

Seeing this, Lawrence also directly released General Berlan and the remaining prisoners of war, and he also knew that if he tried to bring General Berlan back to Bastia, then Colonel Keno would attack no matter what.

Even if General Berlan was killed, Colonel Kino would not allow such a supreme commander, who knew a lot of classified information, to fall into the enemy's base camp.

Before leaving, General Bellan glanced at Lawrence with a little meaning, opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment, but still said:

"I have a hunch that perhaps in the second half of my short life I will hear the name Lawrence Bonaparte a lot."

"I trust your hunch." Lawrence smiled and waved goodbye to General Bellan.

After freeing the captives, Lawrence ordered everyone to march hastily in case the enemy could take the captives before pursuing them.

However, Major Trefali was puzzled, and found Lawrence and asked:

"Major Bonaparte, aren't we trying to draw the enemy to attack Bastia? Why get rid of their pursuit now. ”

Lawrence glanced back at General Berlan's back, licked his parched lips and said:

"It's still risky to try to capture it, and even without us as a decoy, General Berlan will definitely take the initiative to attack Bastia."

Major Trevally still didn't understand it, and opened his mouth to ask something, but when he saw Lawrence's determined and confident expression, he gave up, and chose to believe and obey the commander's orders.

At the same time, in the troops of the Genoese army, Colonel Kino saluted General Bellan with a frightened face on his face and said carefully:

"General, it's great to see you back safely."

General Bellan did not speak, but simply nodded in return.

Seeing General Berlan's displeased expression, Colonel Kino hurriedly proposed:

"General, should we immediately pursue the enemy army, if the garrison of Bastiari does not react in time, we have a chance to annihilate these people..."

"No need." General Berlan waved his hand and suddenly asked about the matter in the Creekwood Fortress:

"How long do you have enough supplies in the fort now?"

Colonel Keno was stunned, not knowing why the general suddenly asked about this, but when he thought of the black smoke that still hadn't dissipated in the direction of Giethoorn Bay, he understood what General Berlan meant.

"It's... General, the fort has only enough supplies for a week, and most of the supplies are stored in Giethoorn Bay... General, do you say..."

Colonel Keno swallowed and looked at General Bellan uneasily.

The supplies in Giethoorn arrived only at the beginning of the month, which meant that there were no additional supplies for the Genoese army on Corsica throughout February. Even if there is an additional expedited rush to make a supply in the mainland, it will not be able to be properly deployed in a week.

General Berlan ignored him, but looked at the backs of the soldiers of the fourth battalion as they accelerated their fleeing, and muttered distractedly:

"I see... Lawrence Bonaparte, who deliberately revealed Bastia's information to me, and burned the supplies in Giethoorn Bay, so that there was only one way left for me..."

"What... What do you mean? General Kino asked, puzzled.

"Pass my orders." General Berland calmly ordered:

"Send a reconnaissance squad to find out what is going on in Bastia, and inform the commanders of all six battalions that they are ready to attack Bastia by today."

After giving the order, General Bellan felt a palpitation, and the elusive smile of the young Corsican Major could not help but come to mind.

This is a complete conspiracy, and General Bellan has sensed that his every move seems to be under Lawrence's control, but judging from the current situation, these orders are the best choice for the moment.

"Attacking Bastia to get supplies, is this what you want me to do..."

Obviously the other party was just a small major, but General Belland unconsciously put Lawrence in the same position as himself:

"Lawrence Bonaparte, what are you calculating..."
