Chapter 15: The Closure of the Coffin
The second battle of Hamburg!
In the whole war, the war situation has been one-sided several times, including the participants and even the front-line commanders such as Amy, Dahainuo, Daqingshan, etc., absolutely never imagined that at the last moment when the war entered a critical moment, there was an amazing turnaround!
How is this possible!
In the nearly three-month-long war, the floating city, a weapon of war that has never been seen in human history, brought too much reverie to the Phanos legion. And in the end, General Dahaino resolutely broke the cauldron and sunk the ship, and definitely brought the role of the floating city as a weapon of war to the extreme-it is quite like a strong man breaking his wrist, but it is definitely not a little bit more clever than a strong man breaking his wrist. This is simply the most outstanding trick in history! At a time when Amy, Daqingshan, Horns and other children were still struggling with the gains and losses of the day in Hamburg, and they wanted to use their cleverness to fool Dahaino into it, they really couldn't imagine that Dahaino didn't need to see through this kind of trick at all. The so-called great wisdom is foolish, the so-called great ingenuity has no work, and the so-called good fighters have no outstanding achievements, probably only similar words can describe Dahaino's stroke of genius!
What no one could have imagined was that this strategic means, which can definitely be called nirvana, turned out to be ...... Fiasco!
That night, under the personal command of Dahainuo, more than 30,000 soldiers quietly packed their bags and set up camp, and how many middle and senior officers took one last look at the seemingly waving Hamburg City hundreds of meters away.
In the past 100 days, how many outstanding soldiers of Fanos have fought bloody battles with thousands of flying stones with their flesh and blood, and that scene is really "liver and brain". For the sake of the gods on high above, for the sake of the fathers and villagers who are tormenting in the barren land thousands of miles away, these young men who are as simple and simple as red gold, in this way, left their lives under this snowy fortified city, and with the lives and blood of 10,000 people, once again achieved the undefeated prestige of Hamburg City, and once again dyed the title of "Fanosque Star" for those little cubs of the little mercenary group.
Merlin, such an elegant Confucian general, looked at the city of Hamburg and even cried speechlessly! The young army commander lost nearly twenty percent of his subordinates. Could it be that from now on, the Phanos Legion will have to retreat when they see the winged rattlesnake banner of the small mercenary group?
After the fall of the floating city into the deep ravine, Merlin and Mora Beast, the two young legion leaders, roared and led their troops to rush forward, and use their flesh and blood to trample the fortress that disgraced all the legions of Fanos.
The Supreme Commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, Dahaino, couldn't even stop it, and in the end, His Excellency the Old Marshal slapped Mora Beast heavily to silence the two legion commanders. His Excellency the Marshal didn't say anything, but pointed to the white snowfield hundreds of meters away, which was no longer recognizable as the city.
The two legion commanders watched, tears rushed out of their sunken eyes, and the two of them knelt helplessly on the ground.
Just now, in a few minutes of the sensation of nearly 20,000 troops, tens of thousands of soldiers jumped out of the ruins of the city of Hamburg, which had completely collapsed, looking at those sharp movements, looking at the fast defense line, and those middle and low-ranking officers with loud roars to press up the formation, especially those young soldiers in just 10 minutes with the ice in front of them to build a low wall up to two meters high.
Of course, both Mora and Merlin knew what this meant! In this siege battle that lasted for nearly 100 days, the army of Hamburg City did not suffer any major damage at all, perhaps...... The word "unscathed" is somewhat exaggerated, but it is absolutely not broken! In this war, the proportion of the small mercenary group killed and injured in battle is insignificant compared to the previous two battles of Xilin Island and Broken Ice Port!
This battle can't be fought.
The defenders of Hamburg must have built a large number of underground fortifications during these two months, and no matter what kind of catapults, wells or ballistas were used, these weapons of war were designed against the city walls. Once the defenders of Hamburg retreated to underground fortifications, and even used these fortifications to drag the Fanos soldiers to death on the city of Hamburg, that would ...... If there is a heavy snowfall in ten days, all these tens of thousands of expeditionary troops will be buried here.
The Phanos retreated! The Second Battle of Hamburg ended tragically.
The war did not return to the starting point, in fact, the defenders of Hamburg City suffered unbearable heavy losses! The collapse of the city wall made this Xiongguan, which was impossible to open for thousands of people, become a naked girl, and the city of Hamburg could no longer exist as a military symbol on the military map. Unless, after the war, it will be extensively repaired again.
For the soldiers of Hamburg City, the bigger blow was: the deputy marshal of the Empire, the general of the Northern Theater (Gyeonggi Theater), and the head of the Imperial Marquis Family, Lord Lin He, was killed in battle, and even his bones were gone!
At this time, many officers and mercenary cadres in Hamburg City did not know that the Marquis had saved the dragon knight's closest companion by cutting off his left index finger with a long sword before he died. This touching story is told by the Ice Divine Dragon as he returns from the Dragon Realm. According to the Divine Dragon Droira, when His Excellency the Dragon God Pyrrot heard the news, he did not speak for a long time, and finally, the Dragon God Lord let out a low "Alas......", and then, the Dragon God Lord waved his hand to drive away all the dragons in front of him......
No matter what kind of person he is, after his death, he will be evaluated by nothing more than two mood particles: "Alas......" and "......." And in the earthly world, how many people can make the dragon god let out a leisurely "sigh ......" after death? Not to mention human beings, just count all the lives in the world, and there are only a handful of people who can move the dragon god.
In this way, the supreme dragon god Pyrot made a "sigh ......", which became the final and most direct comment of Lord Lin Heshang.
On March 20, the summer of the 6th year of the magic calendar, in the bitter weeping of the princess of the Lin family, the hereditary Earl of the Empire, who is also the latest generation of family heads, the middle and senior cadres of the small mercenary group such as Amy, Daqingshan, and Horns, as well as all the officers above the squadron leader and above in Hamburg City, respectively established a 30-meter-high mound in the valley on the east side of Hamburg City with the Nephew Rite and the Protégé Disciple Rite as the Marquis! Red, white, and black ice and snow were poured together, and the remains that the Marquis could not find were among them!
The Northern Federal War Zone, the Imperial Colorful Dragon Knights, and the Imperial Praetorian Guard, less than half a year after sending off a top boss, are going to send away another top boss who is also fighting bloodily and rushing to the front and exchanging his noble life for the lives of his subordinates...... It is the pride of an army to have such dazzling generals, but to have two equally dazzling generals in a row is a heart-rending and grief-heartbreaking thing for any army.
The four captains of the Northern Theater of Operations of the Empire stretched the bright yellow colorful dragon military flag into a four-cornered pen display with a straight military posture, one step, one step, one step...... In the end, the military flag was spread out on the ice and snow grave, and more than forty middle-aged officers sang the regimental song of the Colorful Dragon Knights at the same time!
Three thousand miles of Cangshan testify, the colorful dragon flag fluttering, the first iron army in a hundred years of troubled times!
20,000 miles of vast sea testify, 5,000 hot-blooded good men, follow the emperor and sweep the world!
Knights of the Colorful Dragons, a legion of eleven royal bloodstains!
Colorful Dragon Knights, the legion born of the Nine Dragon Knights!
Under the banner of the colorful dragon, our young lives guard the immortal style of the legion.
In the peaks of the Messis, the hundreds of millions of dragons are waiting for the brave warriors.
The Flower of the Imperial Legion, a legion on a par with the Dragons.
Our soldiers, born, conquered the continent of Eminole and expanded their territory, and our soldiers, died, turned into the snow-capped peaks of Messis, guarding the empire.
......
Our soldiers, born, conquered the continent of Eminole and expanded their territory, and our soldiers, died, turned into the snow-capped peaks of Messis, guarding the empire.
Singing and singing, the four captains finally couldn't help but cry out in a low voice again! Your Excellency General Lin He, this is ...... Isn't it really ...... Has it become the snow-capped peak of Maciss......
In the low singing, the crying quickly infected more and more people, and finally, a few middle-aged officers couldn't help but cry loudly......
Ten months later, the Red Stone Emperor in the frozen fortress of the Northern Federation heard the bad news, His Majesty the Emperor stood in a daze for ten minutes, all the guards and ministers were frightened silent, in the huge palace, only the sound of sweat beads in the sweat beads of the military department kneeling in front of the Emperor was like a rain curtain falling to the ground!
In the end, His Majesty the Emperor fainted without saying a word!
Three days later, the Redstone Emperor finally woke up from his coma, his lips were covered in blood blisters. His Majesty the Emperor trembled his lips and gave a reward to another high-ranking officer of his age, and on the same day, the Ministry of Officials announced to the world.
"Hereby, Sir Lin He, the marquis of the martyred empire (hereditary retiring earl), is canonized as the king of the imperial Anguo, hereditary generation, and Lin Yusheng, the daughter of the prince of Linjun, is the young county king of the empire. The family of Count Lin was promoted to the title of Imperial Marquis, hereditary replacement. ”
On the same day, the Imperial Military Department announced to the world.
"Posthumously, the late Vice Marshal Lin He is the Marshal of the Empire!"
"Amy, the commander of the second line of the empire, is temporarily the general of the Northern Military Region of the empire!"
A day later, the Red Stone Emperor personally revised the song of the Colorful Dragon Knights, changing the sentence "Colorful Dragon Knights, the legion born of the Nine Dragon Knights!" in the original lyrics, to "The Colorful Dragon Knights, the legion protected by the Loyal and Brave King and King An", and specially named the Brigade of the Colorful Dragon Knights who participated in the Imperial Capital Bloody Night to protect the palace as the Loyal and Brave Honor Brigade, and named the Heavy Infantry Brigade of the Colorful Dragon Knights who participated in the defense of Hamburg City as the Anguo Honor Brigade. The two brigades were specially given separate team flags, which were the blood-piercing dragon head and the towering snow-capped mountain.
It has to be said that the War of the Gods has left an indelible mark in the history of mankind, and this imprint was brought into the Creation Spirit Source by the powerful beings such as dragons and gods who participated in the War of the Gods when the Creation God Realm and the Dragon Realm collapsed, and even brought this ancient memory to the next world.
This is not only because of the scale of the war, in fact, in the Creation God Realm, it is not without a battle array that is even grander than the war of the gods, and even, there are not a few. For example, in the war of gods and demons, at that time, the gods killed in a fairly large-scale war were in three digits, and the soldiers of other races who died in the war were even as many as one million, in the war of gods and demons, in the creation god realm, the total human population decreased sharply from 201.04 million to 3 million, the total population of the forest elf clan decreased by 70%, and the total population of the dwarf clan decreased by 60%, which was a war that greatly damaged the vitality of the creation god realm. In the same way, the scale of the Great War of Demon Martial Arts is not inferior to the Great War of the Gods, and the number of magicians invested in a war will even reach 100,000, and the number of dragon knights invested in the same war will even be counted in thousands! In the 1,000 years after the Great War of the Gods, there was also a protracted Millennium War, and the scale of that war was even greater than that of the Great War of the Gods.
Of all the large-scale wars, only the war of the gods left an immortal impression on mankind!
The fundamental reason for this lies only in one point: in the war of the gods, the most outstanding, the hottest, the most singable...... All the brilliant words fall on the originally lowly human beings!
What shocked the species even more was that the performance of these outstanding human representatives, and even their average level, was definitely far superior to that of high-level species such as dragons, gods, and elves in the same period!
After the Great War, some gods once said such helpless but somewhat fig leaf words: "Quantitative change will eventually lead to qualitative change! Human beings, the biggest advantage is quantity, like the number of ants." They are so capable of reproduction that a couple, in just 1,000 years, the number of this family may reach 10,000. At the same time, the first child of the Protoss had not yet reached adulthood. Among the 1,000 human beings, there will be an excellent person, 1,000 excellent people will appear a person who is as good as a god, and among the 1,000 people who are as good as a god, there will be a person who is as good as a god. That's enough, when the time is calculated in 10,000 years, and all these people who are as good as the Lord God are mass-produced in the same hundred years. That's going to be a concept in hundreds...... Divine Realm ...... I have to tremble over it!"
Although this sentence is not very popular, it does have a 100% accuracy rate from the perspective of human probability theory. This is also the reason why the more populous a country is, even if the country is not strong or even riddled with diseases, there are definitely more outstanding people born in the country than in countries with a relatively small population. Probability, everything boils down to probability.
No god could have imagined that in the war of the gods, as long as it is a war of a slight scale, several extremely great heroes will inevitably emerge from it.
In the battle of Hamburg City, the bloody performance of the Wind Dragon Knight Dark Qiusheng left a deep impression on both warring parties, and in the same period, among the officers and cadres of the same level, probably, only Qu Jianhong, the bloody night beauty of the Chi Aotian Expeditionary Army, had the same wonderful performance.
It's a pity that in the same camp of such a dragon knight who is brave and champion of the three armies, there is also Lord Lin He! The performance of Lord Lin River drowned out all the dragons and all the weapons of everyone in the battle, and the second battle of Hamburg City finally left only two words in people's images: Lin River!
