"Then run!"

Several old officers who stayed behind made a decision!

"Then run!!"

All the soldiers of the Sixth Corps shouted with one voice!

As soon as they began to plan their escape, the officers and men of the Sixth Corps were immediately inspired by infinite inspiration! Which people put their supplies in order, which ones took a detour, and which ones broke off. Which people are suspicious, it is simply orderly!

As a result, Hastings once again learned the ability of the Sixth Corps to escape. When the Black Flag Army was killing the Sixth Corps station. Only one large camp was occupied, which was almost emptied!

Subsequently, history once again proved a truth: when a collective is united, the energy that bursts out is a powerful and great amazing miracle.

Immediately in the process of pursuit, the Sixth Corps first used a small river to block the river with discarded materials and ordnance to make a dam, and when the advance of the Black Flag Army pursued, they saw hundreds of soldiers of the Sixth Corps lazily sitting on the river beach on the other side of the river basking in the sun, flags and weapons were thrown all over the ground.

Faced with such a situation. The forward of the Black Flag Army was so suspicious that he didn't dare to step forward, and sent someone to quickly report back to the rear Hastings to ask for orders, and the experienced Hastings sneered when they heard this: "Hmph, you want to attack our army when it crosses the river?" and then ordered the front army not to rush forward, and confronted the Sixth Corps across the river.

That night, the Sixth Corps dug a dam upstream, which was washed away by the river and annihilated, leaving the downstream in a vast ocean! The muddy river beach blocked the pursuers of the Black Flag Army, and the Sixth Corps marched away.

Hastings was furious. He led 3,000 cavalry in pursuit, but as a result, he followed the Sixth Corps into a valley and picked up countless banners and weapons, only to think that the Sixth Corps was terrified. Throw away the armor.

But as a result, the rabbits of the Sixth Corps took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain. He led the Black Flag Army around the mountains for three days. As a result, after the Sixth Corps ran out of the mountain, the lost Black Flag Army still went around the mountain for two more days before escaping. Fortunately, Hastings quickly came to his senses and ordered the old horses in the army to lead the way in front of the team, and finally walked out of this mountain.

But then he got even more surprising news from Hasting, who had left the mountains! These guys of the Sixth Corps did not flee, but turned around and headed south, waving their troops towards the county guard capital of Nodscounty! Taking advantage of the fact that Hastings did not have time to return to the army, he captured the capital city of Nods County in one fell swoop, killed the county guards who had surrendered before, scraped all the mules, horses, carts, and other things in the city, and set fire to them before leaving. Burn the city walls. When Hastings arrived with his troops, he was left with a ruined city defense and a treasury that had been reduced to ashes.

At this moment, if you want to pursue again, the Sixth Corps, which has obtained a large number of mules, horses and carts, has completely improved in terms of mobility, and it is even more difficult to catch up with this army that is good at escaping.

The Sixth Corps finally rushed out of Nods County, and the army came all the way east, and it was even more flexible to divide into three roads, avoiding the interception and pursuit of the Black Flag Army, and running out of Nods County stubbornly!

After that, he gave full play to the ability of the Sixth Corps to be good at rapid marching, and ran more than 400 miles in three days. Already yesterday it entered the county of Moore.

At this moment, knowing that the county garrison of Moore County had not yet fallen, several leaders of the Sixth Corps consulted and sent Glen Charles to contact.

"We know. Escaping from the battlefield is a violation of military law, and although we have a hard time, we are afraid that others will not think much of it. We are now running out of food and grass, our soldiers are tired, and our savings have been replenished, so we can only try our luck in Denzel City. But he had to hide his identity and falsely claimed to be the Seventh Corps, "Alas", but he didn't expect that the defender of Denzel City was actually Lord Char. ”

After Glen Charles finished speaking with a sad face, he looked at Char with a blank eye: "My lord, remember the friendship in the past." Please also raise your noble hand, our brothers in the Sixth Corps are not afraid of death, but they know that it is a matter of sending them to death, so it is better to leave a useful body"

When Char heard this, the joy on his face could no longer be hidden, and he glanced at Green, seeing that Green also reacted in the same way as himself, he swallowed his saliva: "That" Where is your army now? How many people are there?"

"A day's journey from the city of Denzel, there were more than 8,600 men in the whole army, but only 400 horses and 200 carts remained. Glen Charles was a little helpless: "We ran too fast. The loss of horses is too serious, and there is no food and grass replenishment along the way, so they can only kill horses to replenish food, and the big wood is also seriously damaged "Now everyone can't run, if you can't get a chance to breathe." I'm afraid I can't support it anymore

Looking at Glen Char with a sad face, Char and Green looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Char hugged Glen Char, patted him on the back hard, and said loudly: "Don't worry! I have received all the people of your Sixth Corps! I have food and drink here, although the city of Denzel is not big, but the city is well defended and the armament is sufficient, enough to deal with the Odin!"

Glen Charles was overjoyed when he heard this, but then his face changed: "But after all, we have lost Nods County and lost our land." There is also the charge of escaping

Green smiled on the side: "This is simple, Char is the commander of the military of Moore County, according to the imperial law, the county garrison chief can act cheaply in wartime, let Char write an official letter, and declare that he learned that the county guard of Nods County has surrendered to the enemy, and Odin's people are strong, please transfer the sixth corps to withdraw to Moore County to cooperate in the defense operation."

With this name, the above can also be explained

Char also smiled: "Not bad, not bad." Lao Tzu is the county garrison chief, and you can write this official document as you want. ”

The smile on Green's face faded, and he said in a low voice: "Besides, it doesn't matter whether this official document is written or not. After this war, it is still doubtful whether the empire will survive, and when the time comes, where will there be people to hold you accountable

Having said that, in order to appease the morale of the soldiers of the Sixth Corps, this official document still had to be written, and Char immediately asked Green to write a copy, and after signing it himself, he asked Green to go to the Sixth Corps with Glen Charles to answer it. Bring troops to Denzel City to return to the division. Green is quite famous among the emperors, and with him coming forward, presumably those guys in the Sixth Corps will not have many doubts.

After Green left, Char was in good hands in the center of the city. Originally, he only had a few hundred old and weak in his hands, but with the surrender of Nenei and the joining of the Sixth Corps, his strength jumped to more than 10,000!

Moreover, the 2,000 horse thieves in the interior were elite cavalry, not to mention that the Sixth Corps was a real standing army of the central empire!

At this moment, the city of Denzel is fully equipped and there is no shortage of food, with tens of thousands of troops to hold on, plus the famous general Grimm as the commander of the town, even if there are several times as many enemies attacking the city, Char is confident that he will hold it for a year and a half!

After Green left, the garrison in the city was running rapidly, Cato this. In the past, the smugglers in the Rodria cavalry corps were appointed by Char as the quartermaster, and Sharpa was sent to reorganize the group of horse thieves, although those horse thieves were elite, but Sharba was the elite of the Rhodrian cavalry, and he should be able to suppress those guys.

The big and small affairs in the city are pressed on Char's body, he has not been a serious imperial official for a day before, so many things have been pressed down at once, it is inevitable that he is a little busy, city defense and military affairs, supply control in the city, there are dozens of big and small things to him decide every day, fortunately, he also has a Philip under him, who was also the leader of the Great Samurai Order in the past, and he has some experience as a leader, so he can barely stabilize the situation.

In addition, Char also selected a hundred horse thieves to serve as scouts, patrolling around the city of Denzel to listen to the enemy's situation, and expanding the range of scouts to fifty miles.

With these scouts acting as eyes and ears, news from outside soon kept coming back.

After Manninger's Red Snow Army captured the city of Mesta, Manninger left 5,000 men to garrison the city because it was not adequately supplied. Immediately continuing to move south, the main force had already left Moore County, all the way south, into the southern neighboring county, and the front of the army was directed at the Seventh Corps stationed there. At the same time, the rebels of the two Tema military districts in the south. It also began to advance towards the Seventh Corps, which was facing the dilemma of being surrounded.

Char just prayed every day that the Seventh Corps would last a few more days and buy himself some more respite.

During this period, Philip found an opportunity to have a deep conversation with Char in private.

Philip was quite worried about his current situation, and he was afraid that there was no way out for him to hold on to Denzel City, because there were no allies on the left and right at the moment, and as far as the eye could see, it was the sphere of influence of Odin and the rebels, and the small county of Mor was like a small boat in the ocean. In Philip's thoughts, it is better to reorganize the army, follow the example of the Sixth Corps in abandoning Nods County, and move the army south, detour to the southwest, and march towards Osgilia, as long as it can meet with the Imperial Qin's army, then the momentum will be great, and there may be hope.

This idea made Char's eyes move, but then he immediately dispelled this thought.

"Not to mention the long way to the south, can our men and horses break through the encirclement and interception, and successfully reach Osgilia to join the Imperial Central Army. Even if we could really make it to Osgilia, would it be safe? Although Osgillia had gathered most of the Empire's current forces, it was still at a disadvantage. In other words, the situation of Osgillia is not much different from that of our Denzel City, and it is even worse. You say that our city of Denzel is like a boat in the middle of an ocean. There are enemies on the left and right in front. But isn't that the case with Oskilia? Osculia is now a ship in the ocean, only a little bigger, but they are now under ten times more pressure than we are. Char said this and looked at Philip: "I'll tell you a heart-wrenching word, we can still breathe here now, because Osgillia is still holding out, and Osgillia has attracted all the strength of the rebels." Once Osculia is breached, we don't really have a big deal here. When the time comes, everyone will disperse in a hurry and go home to farm. ”

Philip heard this and thought for a moment. Ask Char: "My lord, do you think Osgilia can hold it?"

Char listened, hehe laughed a few times, and did not answer this question, but instead looked out the window, looked at the south, and said leisurely: "I don't care about this problem, I care more about the life and death of a certain guy." If that guy is still alive, maybe this situation can be turned around!"

Philip opened his mouth, he naturally didn't know what Char was thinking, "That guy." Who is it, but then Char's expression became serious: "I have one thing for you to do" This thing is very dangerous, and the responsibility is arduous, to be honest, I didn't want to send you, but I don't have many people now, bold and careful, and good candidates, I can think of it

Philip's eyes lit up suddenly: "My lord, please speak!"

"I need you to go to Osgiria!" Char said in a low voice: "The rebels and the imperial ** team are fighting a decisive battle in the imperial capital, and the central standing army must have rushed to the imperial capital King Qin, and at this moment, the Rhoderian cavalry must also be in Osgilia." I heard that the crown prince had already been sent to the Rhodrian cavalry corps, and I think this was a subordinate of the old emperor. "You" let you break through the enemy and fight into the city, you don't have the ability to do this. However, in my opinion, that Ruhr guy is extremely cunning, and will never lead troops into the city, most likely to have the whole army stationed outside the city, echoing with the defenders in the city, and confronting the rebels. I need you to find them, go to the Rhodelia cavalry camp, and then meet Ruhr and explain to him what we are doing here. ”

Philip looked serious and nodded: "What else?"

Char sighed: "First, at this moment, I'm afraid that everyone else thinks that the northern part of the empire has fallen, you must let them know that we are still holding on to the north!

Philip's face changed suddenly.

Char shook his head and said, "When it is difficult, the crown prince can exercise power instead of the emperor. We have too many people under our control right now. There are other local garrisons in the Sixth Corps "Hmph, I'm just a county garrison chief. The military position is only at the level of the flag regiment, and there is no name and identity, so how can I order them? Although that crown prince Garcia hates me to death, the overall situation is important, and Ruhl is on the side. That fat guy will help you too. In a word. This order of appointment must be obtained, or else. Even if we bring all the Sixth Corps, we won't be able to command this nest of rabbits!"

After a pause, he whispered: "In case you don't get the appointment order," you can retreat and let Ruhl write a letter by himself, Ruhl is the old boss of the Sixth Corps, and most of the Sixth Corps was trained by him. With his handwritten letter, he can barely hold these guys down. As for the content of the letter, you and Ruhl have made our situation here clear, this. The fat man is smarter than anyone else, he knows how to write.

After saying this, Char took a deep breath and glared at Philip: "On this trip, you will have to go through many enemy areas alone, thousands of miles away, and you may encounter various dangers in the middle. If you have any other ideas. I don't blame you either. I can give you a word today, Philip, you and I don't have to talk about the previous grievances, if you do this great thing, from now on, I, Char Leiming, will treat you as a brother!"

Philip's eyes flickered. didn't say anything anymore, and after glancing at Char, he suddenly pulled out the short knife on his waist and slammed it heavily into the table, then held his head high, turned around and walked out!

After Philip left. Char stood there, looking at the short knife on the table, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, when he and this Philip first met, everyone was friend or foe, and later he abolished his hand, but saved his life, and it was really difficult to distinguish the grievances in the middle.

After a while, Dora's voice came to my head: "Hey, boy, do you really think Osgilia can hold it?"

Char smiled: "To be honest, I don't think I can hold it either." ”

Dora wondered, "Then why are you still so sure?"

"I don't have faith in the royal family, but I have faith in the old guy. Whether that guy is dead or alive doesn't matter. Even if he did die, he wouldn't be left without a trail of follow-ups. This kind of person, as a rule. It's terrible to be alive, and it's even more terrible to die. Char smiled: "The first time I saw Cavishir, I decided that he was a kind of person. ”

"Which one?"

"That kind of death counts. The kind of madman who also dragged the enemy to die with himself. Char's face was indifferent.

Three days later, Green really came with the Sixth Corps, and the whole army of the Sixth Corps looked embarrassed. However, Char did not dare to underestimate these people in the slightest. The reason is simple: if it were him, he could not guarantee that he could do the same thing: escape unharmed by the encirclement and interception of Hasting's Black Flag Army.

The Sixth Corps was also stationed in the city. With the arrival of the Sixth Corps, the first and most obvious change was that the rebellious horse thieves in the city immediately became much more honest in their attitudes.

Although Nene has already expressed his attitude, after all, there are still many of these horse thieves who are quite unconvinced. The original defenders in the city were too few, just a few hundred miscellaneous soldiers. Many horse thieves feel that they are too much to be absorbed by such an imperial team. There are even some horse thieves who still feel in their hearts: With such a few hundred miscellaneous soldiers, it is better for us to adopt them than for them to absorb us.

The guest is strong and the sharp is weak. Inevitably, these proud horse thieves will have other thoughts in their hearts.

Now that more than 8,000 officers and soldiers of the Sixth Corps were stationed in the city, the horse thieves' minds were finally truly settled.

Although the Sixth Corps is also a "guest" in the strict sense, it is also an imperial officer after all. It's weekend again. Brothers must have had a hard time watching the World Cup lately. It's a good time to catch your breath and watch the game more happily on the weekend, hehe.
