After the issuance of the "head-cutting order" and "lifting the ban", Horns immediately began to arrange for the small mercenary group system to evacuate Hamburg City, and the next afternoon, more than half of the battalions of the small mercenary group system had left Hamburg, and on the morning of the third day, the small mercenary group system except for Amy, Daqingshan and the direct guards, everyone else was submerged in the mountains of Messis.

Amy and Daqingshan used the past two days to repeatedly discuss with the officers and cadres sitting on the inner line the future direction of the war in the northern theater and whether it is possible to make a certain gesture to attract the Dahaino Regiment to go out and seek some benefits in the chaotic army. Of course, Amy and Da Qingshan were also waiting for Dark Autumn's reply—at the speed of the wind dragon, spanning a space of 1,000 miles was often only a matter of one or two days.

The fourth-order dragon knight of the wind system did not wait, but waited for the fifth-order dragon of the water system, the elder Long, and the cadre of the small mercenary group, Guan Shanpei, two dragon knights to control the dragon and return to Hamburg City.

Originally, in terms of speed, Long would have been able to return to Hamburg City ten days ago. The reason for the postponement of the return is very simple - the news of the defeat of Hamburg City by the commander of the western part of Fanos, Dahaino, was manipulated by some well-intentioned people, and only two days later, it spread throughout the entire northern part of the empire through the thieves' union, and it was impossible for the two dragon knights who hurried back to know about such a big event - they were very worried about the war in Hamburg City, and they would go to the treehouse bar every night to find out about the news when they were resting and replenishing in various towns.

At first, the two dragon knights could not believe the failure of Dahaino's plan for a floating city, but in the following days, more and more detailed details of the war were auctioned off by the thieves' union, and the news was finally confirmed. In this case, Long was finally relieved, just passing near Scambrai, Long and Guan Shanpei also sneaked into the original imperial capital to worship the mausoleum of General Chi Hanfeng, hoping to get news about Chi Aotian's army, but ...... There was still nothing to gain, but the two of them overheard the latest incomplete news about the arrival of the Grim Reaper on the Plains of Flower Language. They hadn't linked Ling Yun and Su Erdu to this matter.

Amian quietly listened to Long's introduction to Chi Aotian's expeditionary force in the Flower Language Plain, especially the various episodes seen in the cow waist town.

After thinking for four or five minutes, Amy's face became calmer and even smiled: "I think, the Chi Aotian Expeditionary Force is still there, and it ......" The young man's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was looking for a more suitable word: "It's not even to the point of breaking your bones." ”

No one in the room understood what Amy meant.

"Chi Aotian is a dragon knight, he won't have any problems in that fire at all, let alone the bull waist battle. With his temper, if he really suffers a big loss, such as the annihilation of the whole army or heavy casualties, then ...... I think even if he faces three or four dragon knights, he's bound to rise to the challenge, right?"

Most people's hearts are moving, right...... It's not like Chi Aotian hasn't done such a thing.

"Deputy Commander Chi didn't do this, and the reason is very simple, it shows that he doesn't want to expose the remnants of his army to the enemy...... This means that the remnants of the army must be considerable in quality or quantity. Let's think about it carefully, how will the Chi Aotian army arrange the order when crossing the river? The answer should not be difficult to guess. At this point, most people have already understood.

"Uncle Long, since you are back now, then you don't need to rush to the Flower Language Plain, I think Ling Yun and the two of them may find a way to find Chi Aotian. Then you can go back. You and Guan Shanpei join the inner line legion, I'm always worried that Dahaino will concentrate his forces to do something. ”

Amy's words were very beautiful and tactful, but this did not affect Daqingshan's understanding of these words, and the young man in black immediately took over the topic: "En." That's fine, there are four dragon knights in the center, and we can rest assured. Moreover, once there is a war on the periphery, the speed of the dragon is also convenient for reinforcements as soon as possible. ”

The successive falls of Balbas, Lin He and others have made the chief officers of the small mercenary group have some gains and losses, and several people have reached a certain consensus on these fathers. Long didn't hear the meaning of the words, and really thought that once the war was tight, he would inevitably summon himself to participate in the battle, so he readily agreed.

Alas...... Long didn't want to think about it, even if the war was tight, it was thousands of miles away, except for the dragon knight who could quickly notify him, it would take at least 5 days for other knights and phantom beast knights to come and go, and the war was tight, would there be extra dragon knights to send out? Poor Long, he was fooled by the juniors like this, if only Amy did this, after all, Amy has always been known for her cunning, the key is that the holy dragon knight Da Qingshan has also begun to learn to shake people quietly...... It's really a declining world, and people's hearts are not ancient.

As he spoke, Dark Autumn came back with the Wind Dragon - the boy was afraid that he would not find anyone after the little mercenary group had all evacuated, so he returned overnight after seeing the Magister.

"What did Mr. Reg say?" Amy poured a glass of water and handed it to the panting young dragon knight, who drank it all.

He said that he knew, and if Miss Lin Yushang came to him, he would definitely delay the time, and then arrange someone to deliver the letter to you. Moreover, along the way, I found no trace of Miss Lin Yusheng. Dark Autumn was a very careful person: "By the way, last night, when I was returning, I saw that the sky in the south suddenly seemed to be on fire...... Kindness...... It was a blue flame that I didn't go over because I was in a hurry. ”

Oh? Amy's brows furrowed slightly, isn't that the territory of the Burmese Yang Empire? What are these bastards doing? However, war is like this, most of the time, it is often you who fight yours and I fight mine, and the first to be mobilized by the enemy will inevitably suffer, this truth was still taught to Amy by General Chi Hanfeng when the frozen continent was still there, and the young man did not show too much curiosity: "Okay, you go back and rest first, tomorrow morning, we will set off together to catch up with Deputy Captain Horns and them." ”

Watching the Wind Dragon Knight leave the council chamber, Amy also left the council chamber after giving a few more imperial captains.

Early in the morning of the fourth day of the issuance of the beheading order, Amy, Daqingshan and other people left Hamburg City, at this time there were almost no residents in Hamburg City, only a small group of soldiers went door to door destroying all the items that could be used, and on the head of the Hamburg city wall and the cliff behind the city, more soldiers were responsible for cutting the catapult made of fine iron...... The idea that the Archbishop of the Phanos Legion had and now seemed quite correct was being implemented by the defenders of Hamburg in a more savage and practical way.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, when the last soldiers left the city of Hamburg, the supposedly glorious city of never falling...... Together with the city itself has become a part of history.

On the same night, in the area on the edge of the snowy peak of Messis, Amy and his party caught up with the large army that had set off in advance, and from this day on, the historical mission of the small mercenary group has undergone a fundamental change......

From this day on, the sharp spear replaced the shield of peace! From this day on, the mercenaries who made peace will use their own consciousness and force to calm the world -- this is also the ultimate source of the term "mercenary world".

That night, Amy convened more than 20 senior officers and cadres to hold an internal combat meeting, but what she didn't expect was that there were several completely different voices at this meeting about the direction of the small mercenary group's operations in the autumn and winter of the sixth year of the magic calendar, and it should be noted that behind each voice stood groups with completely different interests.

Horns, the elders of the Mountain Dwarf Kingdom, and a considerable number of the cadres of the small mercenary group hope to give full play to the advantages of the small mercenary group in snow warfare, and use the Mesis Snow Mountain as a base to give continuous blows to the cities around Scambrai, weaken the strength of the Burmese puppet empire, and look for better fighters in the meantime.

Most of the Imperial officers wanted to enter the eastern foothills of the Mesis Mountains. Previously, due to the rebellion in the ice port theater of operations, the ice port was occupied by the enemy along a number of mainland highways. The Imperial officers hoped to be able to open up contact with the Jielin Theater all the way east during this winter, where the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Military Department, Field Marshal Chi Datong, was directing the battle. If the two theaters of war can fight in parallel, they may be able to turn the tide of the war in one fell swoop. Of course, most of the officers still have some selfish motives, and as a regular army, they still want to be under the direct command of the military headquarters, and not to be supported by a group of children as they are now - such words are difficult to say.

Amy is very clear about the similar thoughts of the Imperial officers: in the army, they care most about seniority, and in the Empire's million-dollar army, there are still large and small mountain factions, which is why when the Imperial Vice Minister Delaware defected to the enemy, the two theaters turned against each other, while the other five theaters did not consider it at all. This is mountaineering at work.

When General Chi Hanfeng and General Lin He were built, under their majesty, the middle and senior officers would obey orders from the small mercenary group system. Now, not far away is Chi Datong's handsome cane, and it is impossible for the officers to give up the opportunity to get in direct contact with the military department.

To be sure, from a purely strategic point of view, both opinions have the same fundamental purpose - to mobilize the enemy in the winter and wait for an opportunity to fight a big battle or two. It is even hoped that one or two battles will solve the main mobile forces of Fanos, at least so that the Fanos legion will lose the confidence to fight again in the short term. These two lines of thought are basically in line with the policy that Amy formulated in Hamburg, but in recent days, as Amy has been thinking about the war in the north in recent days, both ideas have become less ideal.

The Northern Theater is not a plain of flowers, and Chi Aotian's 5,000 cavalry can go all the way through, let him come to the Northern Theater to try! Leaving the mainland highway, it is ideal to be able to march 50 miles a day, as long as the enemy uses the final continental highway to outflank the place, the 5,000 lone army will already be wrapped in dumplings.

Judging from Amy's immature war vision, such an idea is not too optimistic -- more than 10,000 mercenaries are not yet very effective in the northern theater! If a strategic victory is achieved, the only way is to take advantage of the right time and place to pull the enemy out in the ice and snow, but will Dahaino make this mistake?

Where is the place in the Northern Theater where Dahaino must be saved? With a mere 10,000 mercenaries, under the current situation in the Northern Theater, how big a wave can be stirred up? Attacking a small city, Dahaino will inevitably choose to give up and attack a large city? As long as there are 3,000 combat strength in the city, it is not something that a small mercenary group can easily eat. The Phanos officers could have advanced steadily step by step, and finally fought a decisive battle. Or, simply let the small mercenary group gnaw slowly, fight siege warfare in winter, the north wind is blowing, even if you pull the Hami people up, they will be seriously reduced by the frost. Couldn't Marshal Dahaino think of this?

Therefore, these two opinions, at most, can harass the enemy or sneak attack a few small towns, but it is difficult to achieve strategic goals.

Amy hesitated for a moment, but still said what she thought. Unexpectedly, the idea of the head of the small mercenary group and the temporary general of the Northern Theater of Operations of the Empire was actually summoned to the meeting, and almost all the mercenary cadres and officers were unanimously opposed.

What?Attack on the Sangan River Theater!?

The middle and senior officers almost said that their brains were in water. At this time, the total mobile combat strength of the northern theater was only 20,000, and the Sanggan River theater had recruited troops many times after the outbreak of the war, and relied on the big river as a moat, which could be attacked, retreated, and defended, and there were at least 10 brigades of troops that could attack at any time. Even if the overall combat strength of the army in the Sanganhe Theater is weak, it is definitely not difficult to hold back the small mercenary group with 10 brigades.

The Phanos army was reluctant to move north into the snowy fields to fight, and it was probably not a problem to move south into the relatively warm Sangan River field. Once these two forces are combined, at least more than 50,000 mercenary forces, not to mention a small mercenary group, pull out the existing four major A-level mercenary groups, it is estimated that there is no play - this is the gap between the regular army and the mercenaries, compared with the combat power of a single mercenary and a soldier, the mercenaries often have an absolute advantage, but once the 1,000 mercenaries and 1,000 regular troops are put together to fight, the mercenaries will lose relatively largely, and when it reaches the scale of 10,000 people, the regular army will win with an absolute advantage.

Amy looked at the nearly 20 officers and cadres in front of her, and a slight smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of her mouth. Amy remembered a person - Yi Hailan, who had a two-sided relationship with most of the commanders of the small mercenary group, and this seemingly bold idea had a bit of a taste of stealing teachers and eating buckle bowl noodles. It's just that Amy can't get it yet, is this bowl of noodles really delicious?

Coughing slightly, Amy stood up and pointed to the military map to start his first strategic layout: "Heading south to the Sanggan River, everyone is worried that we will be attacked from both sides, right? In fact, it is not only us who are being flanked by both sides, but we are also in danger of being flanked, and the Sanggan River Theater has already been flanked!"

Everyone's eyes followed Amy's fingers and landed on a large area of light gray beneath the Sangan River. Amy poked this place hard: "In the information we know, the two armies of Alcatraz and Fanos are incompatible (of course Amy did not say that part of the information is still from the divine realm), and the commander of the Alcatraz army, Yi Hailan, is a young wise man, who is the best at taking advantage of the battle situation, oppressing the enemy's living space, and seeking the greatest interests for himself without bloodshed." Therefore, whether it was the previous Battle of Ice-Breaking Harbor or the forced northward movement of the Dahaino Legion, I suspect that there are traces of Yi Hailan in this - otherwise, how could the Alcatraz Legion have obtained the benefits between the Sangan River and the Lion River without a major battle? ”

"It's just ......" Amy hesitated for a moment, then changed her words: "I'm still a little worried, huh...... I'm not worried that the Burmese Yang Empire won't cooperate, I'm worried that if Yi Hailan sees through, will we be remotely controlled by him again, and finally it will become us fighting to the death with Fanos, but he will profit from it. ”

For most of the imperial officers, the figure of Yi Hailan has always been under the fog. Seeing that Amy was not worried about a famous marshal like Da Hainuo in her plan, she was so worried about Yi Hailan, who had no real fame in the war. A shadow more or less passed in the hearts of the officers - the mercenary boy in front of them would not be Zhao Kuo, who was famous for his paper talk during the Warring States Period 30,000 years ago. If that were the case, the main force in the northern theater of the empire might be a repeat of the mistake of Zhao State's 400,000 troops being killed......
