Chapter 33: Responsible to the end

readx; Lan Tian snorted coldly in front of Chi Aotian: "How many? If you can take a city above C on the map of the Emperor's **, I, the general, will give it to these young people." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info don't touch a gray face, I don't know what the sky is high and the earth is thick. Earl Raybaton was second only to Marshal Chi Hantong and Fan Cishuai in the evaluation of the generals of the seven major theaters of the empire, and at that time, Prince Chi Hanfeng's comprehensive evaluation was two points lower than that of Raybarton. Is it possible to storm or sneak attack a city with a few thousand knights?"

"Huh. Amy smiled, and her eyes swept over Chi Aotian, whose face had darkened slightly: "If General Qu Jianhong really swept away a thousand armies, the Grand Duke won't regret it at that time." However, I think that Grand Duke Qu Jianhong is so brave and promising, maybe the Black Dragon Knights will shout under the city wall, and the enemy will open the city and surrender. ”

"Hmph. Courage is brave, just a husband. Grand Duke Lantian's tone was full of disdain.

Chi Aotian had a dark face and didn't say a word, he knew that Amy was referring to Sang scolding Huai, hehe, the current Chi Aotian really hoped that Qu Jianhong would fight for some anger and destroy a few cities in one go, which would be countless times more effective than any rebuttal now.

On the morning of the third day, Amy and the others had already entered the Northern Theater of Operations, and if they were fast, they would return to the General of the Northern Theater in the evening.

At this moment, a group of knights suddenly flew from the south, looking at the mounts and armor, it was the trainee knights of the Black Dragon Knights, and the knights were panting and took their mounts in front of Amy, Chi Aotian and other senior officers.

Although he was very sure, Grand Duke Lantian still raised his throat in his heart at this time.

Amy smiled and looked at these battle-hardened knights in front of her, even for young people like Amy, these knights are still children, the average age is only 18 years old, and the knight banner behind a considerable number of people has not yet cut off the swallowtail because they have not obtained the permission of the regular knight they are serving:" Previously, General Lantian, who ranked first in the official uniform group of the Northern Theater of the Empire, told me that as long as Grand Duke Qu Jianhong could take any city marked with C or above, he was willing to give his title of General to the young and promising Grand Duke Qu Jianhong. Now you can tell him if it's time for an old man like him to give way?"

The faces of the young knights turned red like a row of ripe apples.

"Big ...... The captain of the team led ...... stuttered a little: "The city is very well defended, we don't have a chance." However, we discovered that the Alcatraz army on the other side was besieging the city, and one city had hoisted the banner of the Demon Marshal. ”

Yes?

No one could believe their ears. Amy was stunned for a moment before she said four words: "Mommy Bazi." ”

Needless to say, Yi Hailan must have guessed that the Northern Theater would inevitably be unable to tolerate the existence of the Sanggan River Theater, especially when the Pirate King was in a decisive battle, there was such a force behind him. Therefore, Yi Hailan must have sent an inside line and scouts, and chose the best time to forcibly cross the Sanggan River and prepare to establish several bridgeheads in front of the small mercenary group.

"Did you see Lord Demon?" Amy's face returned to normal.

"See. ”

"He didn't ask you to deliver a message or a supple or anything?"

The trainee knights were stunned for a moment, no wonder the general wanted to press the second head of the pool, it was really a bit like a god, and hurriedly smiled and took out a letter: "That blonde man ......"

"I want to call Lord Demon Shuai or Your Excellency Yi Hailan. Chi Aotian said coldly on the side: "Don't lose the etiquette that a knight should have. ”

"Yes, it was Lord Demon Marshal who handed this letter to General Qu Jianhong, and the army led by Lord General is still monitoring to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on our city. ”

"Forget it, let His Excellency Qu Jianhong come back. If you eat too much of the city in one bite, you will be swallowed to death, and Yi Hailan will not be greedy to this extent. Amy opened the letter, glanced through the ten lines to the end, and then handed the letter to Daqingshan, and everyone circulated it.

There was helplessness on everyone's faces.

It's really a handwritten letter from His Excellency the Demon Shuai, as if he was an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years, full of warm care, and he couldn't wait to express his mark in blood.

Brother Amy:

It is reported that Brother Amy has made up his mind to fight the Pirate King family, and the outcome of this battle is really unpredictable, and the brother is deeply disturbed.

In order to ensure that this battle was plotted by the villain, the younger brother waved his army to the north and occupied several cities in a row, thinking that he was the strongest backing for his brother. If anyone has bad intentions, the brother will drive him away. I hope my brother can give it a go.

Brother Yi Hailan worshiped the eighth year of the magic calendar, and the continuous autumn rain was annoying, "A few of us watched him enter the world, we should really be the people who are most familiar with him, but are we really familiar with him?" Amy looked at Daqingshan on the left and Chi Aotian on the right, and the three young people of the human dragon god all had the same very strange expression on their faces: "I have never wanted to really do anything with him, and I feel that he is the same as our relationship, and he has a feeling of brotherhood." Moreover, he led the remnants of the previous generation of creator gods. Originally, there was a Sangan River between us, and there was still a Sangan River between us, and it would be more or less safe. This time, if we can get away with defeating the three legions of the Pirate King family, a battle with him is inevitable. Perhaps, it is a battle of life and death. ”

Ji Aotian chose to remain silent again. Da Qingshan nodded: "It's a pity, there has always been no distinction between friend and foe, but there is always someone to take care of each other." It's just that he supported Prince Tiedu, and he also occupied 30% of the empire's territory, and the emperor knew that after we bordered, he would also expand the scope of the northern theater of war. ”

"My lord, are you familiar with His Excellency Demon Shuai?" Grand Duke Lantian was surprised.

"Of course. A smile tugged at the corner of Amy's mouth: "If it weren't for a few of us, he would ...... It's still a little mouse in a cage. Including his mount, the dragon Yinfeng, would still be a big mouse in a cage if it weren't for us. ”

"Then it's no wonder that Lord Demon Shuai is so enthusiastic, he first sent us so much information for free, and he didn't worry about problems, so he personally waved his army north to wave the flag and shout for the lord. Look at this child, he should also be a child of the family, and he is really affectionate. The Grand Duke of Lantian was obviously mistaken, and thought that there was some special friendship between Yi Hailan and Amy: "Since this is the case, can you let him ......?"

"It's affectionate, so I can't wait to cut me open and sell it, and maybe next time you will call me my food and clothing parents. Amy smiled helplessly in her heart.

"This possibility is zero. Amy didn't know how to explain Yi Hailan, so she just shook her head: "We always feel that the background behind Yi Hailan is amazing. When he was still trapped in the Azure Barrier, the Alcatraz Legion had already begun to attack the Xiuth Empire, and he became the supreme leader of the Alcatraz Legion less than a month after leaving the Azure Barrier. Every step of his life seems to be a secret to the eye, and every step of his journey ends in success. It is impossible for us to influence such a person. ”

"Needless to say, go back and prepare for war as soon as possible. Daqingshan ended the conversation lightly.

Yes, it is useless to say more. Yi Hailan's idle chess move has been placed, and this battle will be even more interesting.

When Horns heard the news, he was also stunned for a long time. Yi Hailan's guy is also too handy, and he attacked General Ray Batton, and it was only 6 days in total, and he had already conquered one city and was attacking the other two cities at the same time. Proportionally, Yi Hailan should have invested at least 15,000 troops in the north of the Sanggan River, and Horns really couldn't figure out how to send the army across the 1,600-meter-wide Sanggan River without realizing it.

The Night Crossing Sanggan is one of the many masterpieces of Lord Yi Hailan during the War of the Gods. As early as two years ago, Yi Hailan began to arrange preparations for the frontal forcible crossing of the Sanggan River, the latitude of the Sanggan River is very low, the water is very abundant, and the width of the river is not greatly affected by the season. Yi Hailan built as many as ten pontoon bridges in the reeds on the south bank, before the forced crossing, the east side of the pontoon bridge was pushed into the water, with the help of the power of the Sanggan River, the whole pontoon bridge head will slowly push like the north bank, in order to speed up, the pontoon bridge was arranged with a penny, hundreds of 6-meter-long pennies silently pushed the sediment at the bottom of the river, it took only more than 20 minutes, and three pontoon bridges were successfully built on the north bank of the Sanggan River.

It is not too difficult to come up with such a solution, but the difficult thing is to not use the pontoon bridge for two years after it is repaired, and endure until the best time for Amy to storm Raybaton and the entire Sangan River theater is in chaos, and cross the Sangan River at the cost of more than ten casualties. Endure what ordinary people can't endure.

At night, Amy was reading a book alone, when the oil lamp suddenly flickered, the door opened, and Daqingshan pushed the door and walked in.

"Something?" said Amy's eyes with a hint of confusion.

"It's fine. Da Qingshan also replied with his eyes.

Amy lowered her head and continued to read the book, and Daqingshan glanced at it: "History of Antiquity", which is a book that records the ancient Warring States period, with a total of 983 historical figures, and is a must-read material for historians. Da Qingshan picked up a copy of "Reading Micro Encyclopedia" from the table and flipped through it, oh, this turned out to be given to Amy by Teacher Leige, and there was a note written by Teacher Leige on it.

After twenty or thirty minutes, Amy closed the book in her hand and let out a long sigh: "I often have the illusion that I am dreaming. This dream is not good to say that it started after meeting Lin Yushang and them, or after Yingying left. Uncle Chi used to say that life is like walking on a long bridge in the dark night, not knowing what is in front of and behind, and not knowing what will happen if you fall. But I now feel that we are more like walking a tightrope in the dark night, back and forth, left and right, without falling, and the countless arrows flying around us, even the slightest carelessness, have only one end - death without a place to be buried. ”

"Does this mean that you are old?" Daqingshan raised the book in his hand: "When Mr. Lei Ge marked this book, his mentality was younger than yours. ”

"Really, when we met Lin Yushang and Sha Ruo, could you guess that one of these two girls became His Majesty the King of the Magic Empire, and the other became a god of the Fire Star Palace?"

Da Qingshan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is true, everything seems to be very far away, but we must move towards this very distant place." ”

"I was thinking that in another 500 years, maybe someone between us will become words in a book -- of course the two of us won't see it, but Horns can. What will future generations think of this war?" Amy opened the "History of Antiquity" again and read one of the passages softly: "I have been eight years old since I started the army, and I have fought more than 70 battles, and those who have been broken and those who have been attacked have been subdued, and I have not tasted defeat, and I have dominated the world......"

The door was pushed open again.

Grand Duke Lantian pulled Horns and walked in from outside, and the real dwarf was excited, and said the wrong thing without thinking: "Look, Lantian seniors finally spent a lot of money to buy the true information, and they are no longer deceived by you." ”

His Excellency the Grand Duke is a person with thick lines, and he really didn't react at first, waving the Thieves' Guild Photocopy Scroll and almost shouting excitedly, however, seeing Amy and Da Qingshan glaring at Horns coldly, the dwarf immediately shrank his head, and the Grand Duke clicked Horns to speak, and then looked at the scrolls in his hand, and remembered the expensive scrolls before, and then remembered the way the young dragon knights had been muttering to themselves in the last few years, and finally a little suddenly realized, and the index and middle fingers pointed at Amy at the same time: "Original...... It turned out ......"

This would have been nothing before the War of the Gods, and each noble grange had a good income from minerals. Now, most of the fiefs have been invaded by foreign races, and every family has a difficult scripture to read. Grand Duke Lantian remembered the hardships of the little private money he had saved, and a mouthful of thick phlegm gushed up in his throat, his face flushed, and he almost became the only high-ranking officer to be suffocated to death by phlegm during the War of the Gods.

Fortunately, there are also benevolent and righteous Daqingshan and upright Horns next to him, if there is only this Jiān deceitful Amy, no one will rush up and pounce on the back of the front heart, Amy patted the back of the Grand Duke of Lantian and muttered in a low voice: "As for it, you are also a great nobleman from a marquis, not just a few hundred gold coins, you really lost your own value." ”

"Okay, okay, with so much force, I don't die of distress or heartbreak. Grand Duke Lantian gritted his teeth: "No wonder the general repeatedly told me back then that he was a kind-hearted person......"

"I don't know what good news you've sent. Amy immediately changed the subject.

"Hey......" Lord Duke sighed, it was really a person who had to bow his head under the eaves, and this heartache could only be said when he had the opportunity later: "The news just released by the Thieves Guild, His Royal Highness the Southern Cross King proposed that for the sake of fairness, he suggested that during the battle, the warring parties could only send a maximum of 15,000 troops, including dragon knights and magisters. Moreover, it must be ensured that no third party is involved. ”

Amy and Da Qingshan looked at each other, if this condition is followed, the battle itself will indeed be beneficial to the small mercenary group.

However, in the long run, it is also beneficial to the Pirate King family, according to this model, even if the Pirate King family is defeated, even if the Sweat and Blood Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group is disbanded, the Pirate King can withdraw from this war in its entirety. In addition, the total strength of the four major legions of the Pirate King family is as many as 35,000 people, and it is easier to pinch the Jing Rui troops into a fist by selecting them carefully. This is indeed a brilliant move that can be attacked, retreated, and defended.

Amy folded the scroll with her hand repeatedly: "What about the final time and place of the decisive battle proposed by the Southern Cross King?"

"On the fifteenth day of March in autumn, it was 12 noon. The location is on the plain on the north bank of the Sanggan River, no more than 5 miles from the Sanggan River, and we propose three sites, and they choose any one. ”

"Well, everything else is fine, the time is postponed by five ri. ”

"Why?" Horns asked, wide-eyed.

Amy scratched her head: "In addition, March 15 is the night of the full moon, and in the sea, the richΓ‘o tide of the full moon is the largest, and I am worried that there may be some conspiracy in it." ”

At this time, the dwarf did not understand the inevitable connection between the full moon and war.

Amy thought for a moment, and the corners of her mouth put on her habitual smile again: "Actually...... I'm eight points sure that the Pirate King family's army will be unaccustomed to the soil or something during the day or two of the battle, and maybe all of them will have diarrhea......"

Everyone in the room stared at Amy, this ...... This one...... It's too ...... Either they don't agree to the invitation to fight, then they fight casually, and the soldiers don't get tired of cheating; since they have promised to invite war, then ...... "Forget it, forget it, don't look at me like that." Since there are promises, let's do what they promise. Amy subconsciously touched her nose, her thoughts seemed to be a little like that, and then said to Horns: "I have been away from Daqingshan for too long, and we are not familiar with many new battalions and cadres of the small mercenary group, so you can sort out a list of battles." Also, ask the Thieves Guild to send a letter to Lin Yusheng, asking her to come back and join the war. The orange sword in Gelsu's hand is becoming less and less useful, and this time it is withdrawn as a prize for this battle. And also...... Let all the combatants arrange what they have at hand and leave no regrets...... I'm worried that at least 30% of the battle will be lost. ”

Amy's concern is not unreasonable.
