Chapter 56: The Prelude to the Southern Expedition

Whether it's trash talk or direct hands-on, Captain Cao will not be afraid of Piero's little white face. If it weren't for Gail's face, if you said this to him, you could directly teach him how to behave. Even at the level of Piero, he dared to stand out as a front-line soldier, and Commander Cao felt more ridiculous. Now, Captain Cao also fully agrees with Lambis's words, the Southern Expedition is to gather countless elites in the Beamon Empire, but you have to admit that there are quite a few stupid birds among them.

Piero is a very typical example, and Captain Cao only needs to think slightly to judge his state of mind. This product is the same as Gail, but a high-achieving student who has just come out of the academy, with infinite entrepreneurial enthusiasm and the unique bookish atmosphere of this kind of person, I feel that the world is just a bag for me. As a senior person who has come over, Captain Cao is also fully qualified to give him an evaluation, naïve!

Piero is a rich kid with a bit of a background, and he is obviously one of the people who have been brainwashed by the academy culture, and he has no idea how terrifying the natives living in this bitter cold land are. Piero just relied on his big family and strong background, and took this lucky flight, as long as the situation went smoothly and he was lucky, he could be gilded and successful immediately, and then gradually embarked on the regularity of his life and career according to the foreshadowing of the forces behind him, and became a celebrity in the upper class of the empire...... Head Cao knows this way very well, the culture of the imperial country, this is how people are speechless, and there is nothing that Commander Cao can do.

This kind of rich boy brother, Head Cao can conclude. It's really about giving him enough power to lead a small encounter, and he doesn't necessarily do it well. belongs to the type of cub who sells Yetian and is not distressed, the real battle, how can it be so easy for them to talk on paper in the academy, and they have not seen the cruelty of the battlefield. It is absolutely impossible for a man who has not wrestled in iron and blood to fight. As far as Piero's performance is concerned, he still seems to be a very unself-aware person, and at his level, he is also trying to set off a wave of Cao, which is a complete joke.

"Boss, give him some color. Luo Han looked at it and whispered in front of Captain Cao, which made Captain Cao's ears itch. Luo Han is not only like this, but the-stirring stick attribute that Nizi has cultivated has also begun to play a role. He said with all his encouragement: "I don't want to look at this product, just his ability, he is also worthy of robbing a woman with our boss?"

Luo Han's words made Captain Cao cry and laugh for a while, when did even Gail become his rumored girlfriend? Luo Han often said something that was indeed very powerful, but it was groundless, and Captain Cao felt that he should also reflect on his strong desire for possessiveness and control. Otherwise, sooner or later, he will be defined as a tyrant who is extravagant.

Looking back at Gail, who looked embarrassed and at a loss, Head Cao thought for a long time. In the end, I decided to deal with the problem in front of me in a simple and crude way. Piero and the group of good-natured aristocratic children behind him have already explained to Captain Cao with their actions that their purpose today is to make Captain Cao ugly, and it is estimated that it is impossible for them to take the initiative to retreat. Head Cao grinned at Gale with an apologetic smile.

Gail was stunned for a moment, but seemed to understand something in an instant. A pretty face suddenly swelled with surprise. But by the time she tried to say something, it was too late. Captain Cao grabbed the back of Piero's neck with lightning speed, and then slammed his head forward.

The clean and neat movements were accompanied by a muffled sound of "bang", and even the onlookers felt a burst of pain because of the sudden action of the head of Cao. As for Piero, he was directly knocked unconscious by the head hammer of Captain Cao. The entire forehead was quickly swollen, like a unicorn. But Captain Cao didn't do anything, and with a push of his hand, he threw Piero's body like a broken sack to the group of aristocratic children behind him.

Galen and Carol were so frightened that they even dropped the cigarette butts in their hands, even if they had already understood that Captain Cao was a short-tempered guy, they never thought that Captain Cao was so arrogant. Piero is not a simple character at first glance, and he will give up if he makes a fool of himself in this public? He is not like Galen and Carroll, who are not so easy to talk to.

"Shut up!" Seeing what the aristocratic children who were with Piero wanted to say, Captain Cao just glanced at them, and immediately silenced them. Head Cao pointed at Piero and said, "When this stupid bird wakes up, tell him." If he is not convinced, he can always come to me for trouble, he knows where to look for me. ”

Head Cao shook his hob meat, with a classic expression of "Lao Tzu is like this, you have the ability to cut me". Perhaps through Luo Han's words just now, there was an extremely subtle change in Captain Cao's thoughts. Not to mention what kind of mentality Captain Cao has towards Gail, and whether he and Piero are really rivals in love, in fact, this question is very simple, and it only takes one thought to be able to judge clearly, can Captain Cao do things now that Gail left the plundering group and was indifferent? Commander Cao felt that the answer was no, then all problems would be solved. Don't say it's Piero, even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu comes, don't want to take people away from Captain Cao's side. Once a person is determined to be unreasonable, then even the heavens and gods will have no solution to such a person.

Fortunately, this was only a corner of the dinner party, even if Cao Daring frightened a lot of people, but more people were still busy with their own things. Seeing that those red men and green women were close to each other, and all interest groups were tirelessly conducting various private negotiations and transactions for their own purposes, Head Cao suddenly felt very tired. came in a high-profile manner, walked in a low-key manner, and didn't even say hello, and Head Cao left the stage early with people. This turn of events may have puzzled Galen and Carol, but there were also people who were happy about it, such as Rambis. He was glad that he had made his own decision this time, and before he came into contact with Captain Cao, no one could tell what the outcome would be, after all, Captain Cao was also famous for his own actions. Lambis felt that a lot of gossip from the outside world was biased about the evaluation of the leader of the raiding group.

The only thing that Captain Cao didn't expect was. The pace of the southern expedition will go so fast. After spending a gloomy snow appreciation dinner and sleeping with his head covered, Commander Cao received instructions for the whole army to be mobilized. This undoubtedly indicates that the prelude to the Southern Expedition has officially begun, and all the combat units participating in the Southern Expedition will leave Memphis within today's time.

After dragging Galen and Carol over to ask, Captain Cao learned that at the end of yesterday's snow viewing dinner, Heinrich also announced some unexpected circumstances. Just yesterday. Heinrich's dozens of scout squads had all returned to Memphis, bringing with them some information about the enemy.

It is impossible to say that the barbarians of the south are completely unaware of such a large-scale build-up of the army of the Beamon Empire, who have also multiplied for countless generations in this vast land, and have their own set of information channels. Perhaps in the preparation stage of the southern expedition, they already knew the situation. But the situation is also to blame in this place, and their reaction is completely opposite to what the vast majority of Bimon orcs think.

For this active southern expedition, the preparation of the Beamon Empire is not inadequate, whether it is the recruitment and selection of combat units. or the supply of logistics, which are very meticulous and in place. Even if you drag a fool to Memphis to take a look, you can read from here how resolute the attitude of the Beamon Empire is to launch this southern expedition. Such a large-scale gathering of imperial elites, if it could not bring huge losses to the southern barbarians, it would definitely be a failed southern expedition. At the very least, it is necessary to ensure that the southern barbarians will never dare to rashly invade the territory of Bimon within seven to ten years, or even longer. Yes, if this minimum strategic objective is not achieved. Anything is a failure.

There is still a huge difference between the Beamon Empire and the southern barbarians, no matter how you look at it now. The Beamon Empire has also recovered from the Great War of the Century a thousand years ago and is beginning to develop in a better direction. As for the southern barbarians, their progress speed does not make people feel huge, so the battle between this pair of old enemies has gradually shifted from the earliest southern barbarians to the Beamon Empire to control the rhythm, and the Beamon Empire has become a more advantageous side on the books.

In particular, several battles in recent years. Under the wise leadership of Leonardo. Almost every time, the Beamon orcs have left a deep impression on the barbarians of the South, at least to make sure that they understand that the borders of Beamon are not so inconsequential now. Under such circumstances, almost everyone decided that as long as the barbarians in the south knew the enormity of the southern expedition of the Beamon Empire. Inevitably, the first reaction is to hide if you can, and not to fight head-on with the people of the Beamon Empire.

However, the reaction of the southern barbarians to the large-scale assembly of the Beamon Empire's army made many people feel incredible, not only did they not choose to retreat into the deep mountains and old forests, but also began to assemble. Judging by the news brought back by the scout squads, they assembled very quickly and on a scale that should not be underestimated. Even though they have suffered a lot of losses over the years, this has not hurt their vitality, and the location where they are assembled is exactly on the Red Blood Great Plains directly south of the main city of Memphis.

The Red Blood Plain can be said to be the real border line between the Beamon Empire and the southern barbarians, the Red Blood Plain has been barren since ancient times, a piece of terracotta, stretching for thousands of miles, looking like it is dyed red with blood, so it is called the Red Blood Plain. And the Bimon orcs and the southern barbarians have also faced off countless times on this plain, and there are many people on both sides who are buried in that soil, so this directly turns the Red Blood Great Plain into a natural cordon.

In recent years, every battle between the Southern Barbarians and Beamon has almost always begun with the Southern Barbarians setting foot on the Crimson Plain, and the Beamon Orcs have never thought of crossing this cordon to disturb these irascible neighbors who will not reason with you. As long as they resist the initial onslaught of the southern barbarians, they can be repelled when the imperial reinforcements arrive.

Logically speaking, this time, it should be the initiative of the Beamon orcs to make the southern barbarians respond. As a result, the gang continued the glorious tradition of the previous one, and did not give this opportunity to the Beamon orcs. Of the dozens of scout teams sent out by Heinrich, only seventy percent returned, which means that the other scout teams have died heroically. The reaction of the southern barbarians can also be described as sensitive, and the scale of the tribe they gathered this time was far greater than the previous battles. They are the unbeatable little powerhouses on the Pan-American continent, and they always give people the illusion that they can keep popping up.

The response of the southern barbarians was very brutal, one could even say impulsive. For any sensible commander, he would absolutely believe that relying on the impregnable Memphis to fight a defensive counterattack is the simplest and most appropriate. Not to mention anything else, first close the heavy gates of Memphis, and the strong walls will last for ten days and half a month, and if you grind it, you can wear out most of the sharp energy of those barbarians, and then sweep them away with the elite division that recuperates their strength, and ensures that they are killed. In terms of strategy and stratagem, the barbarians are a lot worse than Beamon.

However, Heinrich's final decision was not the most rational and clever way to do it, and the decision he made was to set off immediately and take the initiative to attack! No matter how far the southern barbarians are now assembled, they can no longer be allowed to become the initiators of the campaign!

Heinrich's decision is a decision that can no longer be made by Beamon, and from a strategic point of view, it may make the damage to the Beamon Empire a little greater, but Heinrich now has enough capital to squander it like this. This commander-in-chief, who is known for his composure, showed a very different attitude this time than he had throughout his career.

There are people who secretly criticize his decision, and there are also people who praise him on the surface, and they directly let the Southern Expeditionary Army be divided into two different camps. But the military order is like a mountain, and no one can stop the big war that is about to begin! (To be continued......
