At noon that day, the battle raged in the valley centered around the town.

The soldiers on both sides all let out hoarse cries and brandished clubs and other weapons designed for the exercise, and used their strength to fight the people on the other side.

I was anxious and thought that this kind of soft and collapsed stick was not enjoyable, so I simply threw it on the ground and fought hand-to-hand with people with my fists.

What black tigers dig out their hearts, monkeys steal peaches, immortals pick grapes, and so on can be called forbidden martial arts appear in turn.

The guy on the other side screamed.

The sound of military trumpets, war drums, shouts, angry scolding, screams, and the clashing of weapons were mixed together, like a raging tide, and resounded throughout the valley.

The staff officers in red uniforms watched calmly from the sidelines, observing the battle of the soldiers on both sides in Chapter 975 Wang Baxiao turned over (asked for a monthly ticket), and judged the results of the two sides and the losses according to the battle situation at that time.

And, from time to time, he took the pen of the Flying Eagle and wrote down two strokes on the yellow paper clip in his hand, which was in awe of all the officers.

Although for the ever-changing battlefield, it is easier to use a cheap and sufficient pen. But in order to ensure that those numbers are really valid, the lord bought a large number of pens very much money and bought a large number of pens, at least in this way, those numbers are difficult to be altered by someone in the middle after a few hands.

Moreover, these records can be used as archival materials for a long time.

Don't underestimate these numbers, but they are all first-hand information in the army. In a sense, it's the same as the census.

Since the situation of the troops in different places is different, it is possible to grasp their basic situation in the shortest possible time by using this method.

With these information, the composition of troops, soldiers, weapons and equipment, logistics support, and so on, are all in the mastery of the lord.

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles......

Although I still don't know the situation of the enemy army, but with this information, at the very least, the lord can be regarded as "knowing Chapter 975 Wang Baxiao turned over (asked for a monthly ticket)." Finish.

On the battlefield, except for those staff officers who watched from the sidelines. On the hill on the side of the battlefield, there was a large group of people standing on their horses, condescending, watching the fierce battle below them with cold eyes.

Among this group of people were staff officers stationed in the Fourth and Thirty Legions of the Holy See, as well as staff officers of other legions who had rushed from nearby to watch the battle after hearing the news.

There were also a few officers from the nearby legions, all of whom came over to watch the two legions fight.

After all, this generation of telegraph networks has already been erected. Although it can't be like a certain advertisement, let the big guy "fight while plowing the field", but it has basically achieved the coverage of the whole area.

Eagle Telecom is now working on laying a line from Almohad to the southern front.

Lei Er Ye is also ambitious now, and even plans to build an Almohad city, then cross the Strait of Bodores, directly to the maple leaf danlin to the Vatino, and finally connect to the city of Ruman, and Constantinburg's high-speed communication cable.

This backbone cable passes through hundreds of cities along the way, covering tens of thousands of kilometers in length and width.

This crazy plan... It seemed to Lorraine that she was crazy.

But what is even crazier is that this plan was actually approved by the Senate and the Vatino. Even a large amount of special funds have been allocated for this purpose to give support.

The adults are all elites, and once they have seen the demonstration, they all know exactly what kind of benefits this communication technology can bring to them.

With it, at least half of those stagecoaches can be cut down. That alone would have saved them ten times the amount of money they had approved.

What's more, in order to complete the construction as quickly as possible, the little grandfather fully followed the "huāhuā sedan chair crowd platform." This officialdom has no choice but to not only promise to contract out all the construction projects, but also promise to open up some of them for civilian use.

A telegram of ten words, each word, a silver coin. This piece of money alone is already equivalent to a gold mine.

Not to mention the huge business opportunities represented in this information.

Get the news faster than anyone else's. In order to determine whether it is stock speculation or public bonds, all can seize the opportunity.

At the time of the Battle of Waterloo, the Rothschild family, which was dominant, relied on this to make a fortune and make a lot of money.

Although the telegraph network is only a prototype now, it has already shown its power.

At the very least, as soon as the Fourth and Thirtieth Legions of the Holy See had set up their battle shelves, the telegraph machine ticked and several nearby legions soon knew.

Now the Fourth Legion of the Holy See is the center of attention. So a legion and a legion commander can be personally encouraged by His Majesty the Pope and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Lorraine, everyone thinks about it, there must be some story in this, is this Archbishop Sandos a hidden master?

But it doesn't look like it~!

Everyone had a feeling of being in a fog, so the big guys were more and more interested in Archbishop Sandos and the Fourth Legion of the Holy See.

Looking at the fierce battle not far away, the expressions of the onlookers were the same, some were full of interest, as if they had seen something interesting, and some had strict expressions, observing the situation of the battlefield intently.

Some looked disdainful and looked at the two legions below and sneered repeatedly.

A staff officer picked up his horsewhip and nodded Archbishop Sandos, who was active on the battlefield, turned around and smiled and said to everyone: "Our archbishop seems to have learned wisely today. No more personally killing enemies. ”

Everyone laughed for a while, and the story of Archbishop Sandos taking the lead, only to be beaten into a pig's head and almost stripped of his clothes, has long been spread throughout the army.

This time, Archbishop Sandos finally learned to be shrewd, commanding the battle on the high ground in the rear, and no longer brandished his weapon and bravely rushed to the front line.

Someone snorted disdainfully and said, "I don't think so, this archbishop is dressed like a big in heat, but I can't see him."

If you really fight, I will send my subordinates to cover a few archers, and suddenly rush to him to give him a few arrows~!"

When the staff officers heard this, they all grinned evilly: Archbishop Sandos's dress was indeed very conspicuous on the battlefield.

Not only did he ride a white horse, but he also wore all kinds of sparkling jewelry on his body as usual, and he could see it clearly from a distance.

This is clearly to tell the person on the other side, "I'm a big man~!Come and arrest me~!"

The other shook his head and said, "Not necessarily." Our archbishop is not close to the battlefield, and it is not so easy to advance within the range of the bow and arrow. ”

The person next to him laughed, patted the staff officer who was laughing at Archbishop Sandos's rooster-like appearance, and said, "You must have made a big bet on our strange army leader, right?"

"Five hundred gold coins~!" the staff officer nodded dejectedly and said, stretched out a palm and shook it weakly, and finally sighed weakly, and said, "Who would have thought that this guy would fight so many defeats, and he would actually fight more and more finely." Now I see that I have to play Wang Bada's turnover.

Grandma's, where can you reason?"

Everyone looked at the staff officer sympathetically, for a small staff officer, five hundred gold coins was really his entire net worth.

Some of these staff officers are young officers from the Ruman Empire, and some are from the Maple Leaf Danlin Military Academy, from ordinary backgrounds, and most of them are young people with little money.

Moreover, the servicemen live a life of licking blood with knives and rarely have the habit of making money. One by one, all of them were moonlight clansmen, and the little military salary was gone, and most people couldn't find a few gold coins in their pockets.

Being able to take out 500 gold coins to gamble shows that he has worked hard and saved up time.

Lord Lorraine is now in the tens of thousands of gold coins a minute, and if you want to buy a Lambergeon, you have to close your eyes, drink a teacup, and then save enough money.

However, Lord Rao is so rich, he threw a thousand gold coins to press Archbishop Santos, thinking that he was going to be lost, and he still felt that his flesh hurt, not to mention the five hundred gold coins of a small staff officer?

One can imagine how bitter this person should be now.

Everyone shook their heads and sighed. They're all too staked, more or less.

"Let's just take a girl in the city. Someone comforted.

"That's all there is to it. ”

"Now our archbishop, even if he wants to, he doesn't dare to go. ”

"Yes

...”

“...............”

Everyone couldn't help but sigh again.

Archbishop Sandos made bold statements to resist, and no one took what he said seriously.

But both the deputy commander-in-chief of Lorraine and the Pope of Shilme Lìa made it clear that they were optimistic about Archbishop Sandos.

Archbishop Sandos himself lent him a few dares, and he did not dare to leave the post of commander of the Fourth Legion.

At this time, he suddenly reported that he was going to leave his job. That is to cut the face of the deputy commander-in-chief of Lorraine and the lìya of Shilìa, and the consequences are very severe.

Perhaps, Archbishop Sandos will only be able to squat in a small church in the countryside and nibble on potatoes in his life.

Perhaps, he will have to be in the desert to preach the message of Light to a group of cannibals: "Hi, dear friends, the God of Light loves you.

Let's discuss, don't eat me yet, how about it?"

Even their staff officers understand this truth, and Archbishop Sandos himself naturally knows more clearly and understands it more profoundly.

It can be seen from his table of dedication today, although the gamble is still not over, but the result is already doomed.

Naturally, the bets that pressed the Archbishop of Sandos could not bear to leave were lost.

I thought I could earn a little bit, but now that it's all in vain, everyone will inevitably mumble in their hearts.

Of course, there are exceptions, and there are two small staff officers who actually suppressed Archbishop Sandos to win, and among the several staff officers stationed in the Fourth Legion, some people feel that this Archbishop Sandos seems to be unusual, anyway, it is just a few gold coins, and it is good to press him to win.

If you win, the odds are more than 100 losses, and you don't feel distressed if you lose.

Now they can already see the gold coins of Xiao Qian, flapping their wings and flying towards their wallets, this money alone is enough to buy a large piece of land in their hometown, build a big house, and be a landlord for a lifetime. One by one, the sun is shining.

These people now look at Archbishop Sandos as pleasing to the eye, just like looking at a living lucky boy.

Even the usual high-level arrogance of the Holy See in Archbishop Sandos was a sign of confidence in their eyes.

"In my opinion, the archbishop has some skills. A staff officer stationed in the Fourth Army said.

Seeing that everyone was laughing at Archbishop Santos, several of them naturally wanted to say a few good words for their God of Wealth.

But as soon as these words came out, everyone laughed and said, "Is that the ability to lose seventeen games in a row?"

"If stupidity is a virtue, then his virtue is outstanding. ”

The staff officer of the Fourth Legion shook his head and said, "At least this guy will fight now." You see......"

The staff officer pointed to the battlefield below and said, "Although the battlefield situation is unremarkable, and the two legions are just fighting for attrition, but for the people of the Holy See, this can be said to be the best situation." Instead of allowing their opponents to catch on their shortcomings, they instead used their only strength, which was not considered a weakness, to meet them. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be silent for a while, and then they had to nod in agreement, and someone next to them summed up and said, "Stupid people have stupid methods." ”

The staff officer of the Fourth Legion sighed, pointed in the direction of Archbishop Sandos, and said, "Lou and a few of you have watched this archbishop being tossed all the way.

This guy didn't even know how to read a map at first, and he could go dozens of miles on the march. Looking at him now, he can actually be lined up in a good way.

At the very least, he's a quick learner. And after losing more than a dozen games, he can still shout to persevere, this archbishop is also worthy of appreciation, I think the deputy commander-in-chief can take a fancy to him. ”

"Good dog luck guy~!" someone muttered unwillingly.

"It's not just good dog luck. He is also resilient and persistent.

At the very least, if I had lost more than a dozen games in a row, I would have lost my face for a long time. ”

When everyone heard this, they laughed for a while, but then fell silent.

Although they didn't say it explicitly, they also admired the perseverance of the archbishop in their hearts.

After a long while, someone asked, "What should we do now?" Looking at the formation of their two legions, even if they fight until dark, this battle will not be finished, so you will not be here all the time watching.

It is rare that the commander of the Thirty Legion has also lowered his IQ by this archbishop, so he will fight him hard here. Winning is a pyrrhic victory. ”

The staff officers of the two legions were familiar with the inside story, and the staff officers stationed in the 30th legion smiled incomprehensibly when they heard this, and said, "This is not necessarily. ”

The staff officer of the Fourth Army also nodded, pointed to the rear of the Thirty Army Corps, and said, "It should be clear soon." ”

Soon, on the small river that flowed through the valley, a large black shadow flowed downstream.

The first thing that came out of the crowd was to notice the anomaly, and when they put their hands on their eyes and looked at them, they could tell that they were a group of wooden boats huddled together, and that they were full of soldiers.

After struggling to distinguish the flag, the staff officers could see clearly that it was a soldier of the Thirty Legion.

The Fourth Legion of the Holy See was right upstream of the river, and the Thirtieth Legion was downstream, and the soldiers who came by boat could go straight behind the undefended back of the Fourth Legion of the Holy See.

It is conceivable that as soon as they landed on the shore and stabbed the Fourth Army in the back, they would soon collapse under the front and back attacks.

The staff officers on the mountain laughed, pointed to the position of Archbishop Sandos, and said, "Jiang is still old and spicy, and the commander of the Thirty Legion still has a hand." ”

"A rookie is a rookie after all, just thinking about precautions, but he didn't expect to use the momentum of mountains and rivers. ”

The staff officer of the Fourth Legion smiled and said, "Not necessarily, this archbishop is also much more cunning now. ”

Archbishop Sandos soon spotted the Thirty Legionnaires who had suddenly attacked from the rear.

Although unexpected, Archbishop Sandos did not panic, and personally led the reserves, rushing to the soldiers who were about to go ashore and blocking them on the boat.

Not long after this change appeared, a loud shout suddenly came from behind the Sanfeng Legion, and a large group of people from the Fourth Legion suddenly rushed out from the hillside behind the Thirty Legion and killed directly towards the center of the Thirty Legion's front.

Not only did the people of the 30th Army Corps expect this change, but the staff officers were also dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, this Archbishop of Sandos has only been working hard for a few days, and he has actually learned to intersperse raids.

During the battle, the two legions mobilized their men to block the opposing army that appeared in the rear.

All of a sudden, the battle became even more chaotic, and it changed to a place that everyone could not predict.

"It's interesting now?" The staff officers also came to be interested, compared to the boring war of attrition, the current chaotic situation is the most test of the army commanders and officers and soldiers on both sides.

The battlefield became more and more chaotic, because both sides were flanked from the front and rear, and the originally distinct battle lines gradually intertwined, and slowly turned into a melee between you and me, and I and you.

The staff officers couldn't tell who was who from the heights.

The battle, which dazzled everyone's eyes on the Archbishop of Sandos, lasted until the night without a winner.

In the end, the soldiers on both sides were too tired to fight, and they fought for four or five hours in one breath, and no one could stand it.

Neither side was able to eliminate the attackers who had killed him from behind, and in the end, after the judgment of the staff officers, the two sides reached a draw, and the battle was stopped.

However, the losses of the Fourth Army were significantly higher than those of the Thirtieth Army, and a full half of the soldiers were judged to have been killed or wounded.

The Thirty Corps lost more than a thousand men.

This result was unbelievable to everyone, especially the officers and men of the Fourth Legion of the Holy See.

When the results were announced, everyone was stunned.

"I didn't lose this time~!" In the eighteenth exercise, the Fourth Army of the Holy See finally ended its losing streak and retained three precious points.

The Thirty Legion was undoubtedly the most unconvinced, and although the Twenty-second Legion was taken by surprise, it still took three points of victory.

Their 30th Legion only lost to a draw, and you can imagine how the other Ruman officers would laugh at them for "not even beating a rookie who has lost seventeen games in a row."

The commander of the Thirtieth Legion did not want to bear this title on his head, so he found the staff officers to protest at that time, and shouted in dissatisfaction: "Their losses are obviously twice as much as ours, how can it be considered a draw." ”

The junior staff officers could only patiently explain: "The purpose of the battle was clearly stated before the exercise, and only when everyone was one-on-one and completely defeated the other side could it be regarded as victory." However, the Fourth Army did not collapse, and the soldiers did not lose their command and could continue to fight, so it could not be considered a defeat. ”

The commander of the 30th Army smacked his lips, still not convinced, and the staff officers around him stood up one after another to enlighten him, saying: "Okay, okay, general, we can testify, it's not that your army is too incompetent, it's that the other party is too tenacious."

There is nothing wrong with this result. ”

The Thirty Legions are still the Thirty Legions, but the Fourth Legion of the Holy See is no longer the Fourth Legion of the Holy See.

The staff officers carefully evaluated the Archbishop of Sandos this time, and finally unanimously agreed that the level of the archbishop had reached the level of the second-rate general of the second-rate country.

The most pleased by this result were, of course, the Archbishop Sandos and the officers and men of the Fourth Legion. For the first time, they proved with their actions that they are not soft-footed shrimp to be ravaged by others. (To be continued!!
