Chapter 433: Escape from the cage (10)
Manninger's insistence undoubtedly had its own justification.
The Odin Empire has always been known for its warriors. But in fact, in terms of national strength. But it was far inferior to the Byzantine Empire. If it weren't for the fact that the Byzantine Empire had been trapped in that Tema military region for a hundred years. The empire is divided internally. The country's strength has declined. It was also difficult for the Odin Empire to compete for money between the two countries. Prevailing.
Not to mention. The Odin people have always been barbaric, "unlike the Byzantine Empire, where there are many wise men." If it is a competition of power and wisdom. Ten Odin people tied together can't catch up. A Byzantine.
But Manninger, a rare hero among the Odinites, is a man who understands, he knows the gap between the two countries very well!
The Byzantine Empire's internal strife finally broke out completely, and civil wars broke out one after another. The royal family and the warlords have finally torn their faces and fought each other! The national power has declined to the weakest time in history!
Arguably. Defeat this most powerful empire in one fell swoop, in front of the eyes of the Odin. This is the best chance ever! There could not be a better opportunity than now!
Manninger, on the other hand, knows better: this is only one chance! if it is missed now. Don't think about it again!
After the chaos. After this civil war, "whether the Byzantine royal family won or the warlords of the Red Round Table won, the outcome was different." But there was only one result: the end of civil strife!
There is always a time when the civil war is over. Before the Byzantine Empire was weak. It is because the civil strife has been triggered, gradually weakening the strength of the empire. But once the contradictions of civil strife have completely erupted -- after the general eruption. Once this civil war is over, it will really end! It doesn't matter which side wins. Next, they will start to clean up the mess" and then slowly restore the national strength.
Take the old foundation of the Byzantine Empire. Sitting on the population. Land. Various resources. They are far better than Odin, once the Byzantine Empire is settled down here and the power is restored. It won't take many years. It will surpass the Odin Empire!...... ,......... This situation is no longer up to the Odin!
So "this is the best chance." And the only chance!
Manninger sees far and wide, "and has a big plan in his heart." That's what will come out. Bring out all the most elite soldiers of his tribe! It's not just looting. Instead, I wanted to take the opportunity to bite hard. Take a bite and then plot for the greatest good! Lay a solid foundation!
And Manninger knows better. Odin and Byzantium were at odds. Byzantium had the advantage of financial, human and various resources. The only thing that the Odin people can fight is the bravery and fierce spirit that they rely on to survive!
The Odin Empire was able to overwhelm the Byzantine Empire for so many years. It's this fierce spirit!
And at the moment. His own Red Snow Army has been repeatedly frustrated. The nest was copied, and the son of the dignified patriarch was beheaded. The army was chased and killed by other cavalry ranks, and it was embarrassed all the way, "his own elite cavalry also made people almost wiped out!"
One by one, the frustrations came down. has already shaken the spirit of his whole army!
This kind of heart. But it's the biggest battle of the Odins! If the Odin people lose even this courage.................. Then the Odin people really don't have any capital to fight against the Byzantines!!
Now, if the whole army moves to other places for temporary shelter, it will loot food in a few more towns. barely survived this winter, "slowly repairing and rejuvenating, it's not impossible."
But in the face of such a setback, our army did not fight hard. Instead, they move away from it -- something like that. Once you have a beginning. Once the heart qi is lost. To recover.................. I'm afraid it's not that easy!
Once the bones are soft, they need to be hard again. It's hard!
So. In every sense of the word, Manninger had to bite the bullet. Bring your own army to the new city. Go for it! Even if it's a big risk!
But this is his only chance!!
If you back down now. Escaped, although it was possible to hide for a while. Give his whole army a little respite", but the enemy occupies his old nest of new towns.
If you don't meet head-on, "the other party can naturally take advantage of this winter." Use your time to take respite and dodge. And then little by little to conquer the rest of Sirtanshire's territory!
After all, this is the Byzantine Empire! After all, it will only take half a year for the Chixue Army to defeat these territories! If the Byzantine army is subdued.
After the cultivation of his own army. I want to recapture it again. It's hard!
So. Manninger is not reckless. It's that he really doesn't have a choice!!
※※※
The Red Snow Army re-emerged. Road. The whole army accelerated and headed towards the new city.
Walking on foot. Naturally, the speed is much slower. I walked for another two days. The army walked to the place where Char had annihilated the vanguard of Odin's cavalry a few days earlier.
And he saw the middle of the road. Piled up tall piles of human heads! "All of them are the heads of Odin's vanguard cavalry warriors!"
There was no snow in those two days. See. Go to be clearly visible. The army walked here. I was blown away by this scene!
Only the Odin have ever been savagely killing other peoples. But at this moment, "he saw the heads of his own warriors piled up here.................. Such a blow, in the eyes of the Odin. It's like a hammer!
The leader of the original army. I was worried about the scene in front of me. If Manninger had seen it. I'm afraid of this patriarch who is already weak. and be angry with the heart. If you vomit blood again, I'm afraid it will be bad.
I didn't expect it. Manninger seemed to be calm this time. I know the road ahead. , his vanguard cavalry, "the heads of the enemy were cut off and piled up in the middle of the road", but he seemed very calm. It's just that his face is still pale. A faint order cleared the way. Keep moving.
He looked so calm. It made the hearts of these tribal leaders under his command feel worried.
Manninger had vomited blood twice in the past few days. Unconscious several times. The physical condition is getting worse and worse, even the guards who are waiting by his side, all the way. You can hear it in the carriage," the patriarch coughed. The qi that speaks is getting weaker and weaker.
Although Manninger still insisted on coming out of the carriage every day to appear in front of the generals. Soothe. But his face grew paler. But it can't be hidden.
At noon on the fourth day, the army finally set out for the new city!
And at the moment. Seven full days had passed since the new city was captured by Char!
The Red Snow Army set up camp outside the city," Manninger suddenly seemed to regain some strength, and as soon as the army was stationed, he immediately gathered many of the generals and leaders of the tribe. Without hesitation, the order to siege the city was given!
"Clan go...... ,......... The sons and daughters ran for many days. Day and night. Many of the brave men in the tribe were tired and vomited blood! Let's recuperate and "give the order to attack the city again!!"
In the face of such a request. Manninger just said coldly: "I don't have time to wait! I'll take my own guards. Go and fight. ,。
This sentence can make the people below dare not disobey again.
The commander of the dignified Red Snow Army. If you really bring the personal guard. Go and fight. Then these clan leaders and generals below. Just wipe your neck and commit suicide!
Manninger's tough attitude at the moment. Relying on his years of prestige. The order was still given.
The camp of the Red Snow Army is not stable. The soldiers of the army were immediately mobilized. The first wave of the offensive was launched.
In the new city, Nene has made all the preparations here. Char departed, "but those in the city surrendered to the army." But nothing happened again. They are not really faithful. It's just that I'm also forced to have no way out.
At the moment, in addition to defending to the death, "fight to the death with the Odin." In order to survive", you don't have to think about anything else.
There were no other ideas. Once the human mind is pure. Doing things naturally becomes more efficient.
The city defense was originally very strong, and the interior has been fully prepared in the past few days. Make a new city impenetrable.
The walls of the new city are tall. Originally, there were three city gates, and Nei simply asked people to seal the city gates from the inside and gamble to death! Anyway, there were so many troops in the city. The defense of the city is insufficient. I didn't plan to go out of the city to fight at night. The gates of the city were blocked. Sort of. Next heart.
The first wave of the Red Army's offensive appeared to be vigorous.
Looking at the black pressure under the city, it was killed. Odin people who came. Even though the defenders had already made up their minds to fight to the death. But there are still many people who can't help but feel numb on their scalps!
These are the Odinites! the fierce and powerful Odin.
The defenders of the city were all subordinate troops. They were all defeated by the former Odinite. The strength of the Odin people has long left a deep shadow in their hearts. At this moment, in order to survive, "I have to fight hard."
Nene stood on the rampart, "Looking at the defenders on the left and right, their faces were different. As soon as his heart moved, he raised a long knife in his hand and shouted: "Look at the corpses of those Odinites under the city! The hanging guys! You don't have a choice! You want to live. Just fight to the death!,,
She roared. The few cavalrymen standing beside him "all raised their long knives in unison." With them, these people are the head of the boat," shouted over and over again. This shout. Finally, the fear in the hearts of the defenders was dispelled little by little.
Gradually. "Fight to the death", such a voice. Sound from the city walls. Gradually, "At first, it was just a sparse pull." But under the vigorous shouts and leadership of Nene and a few cavalrymen, this "desperate battle", the voice. It's getting neater and neater. It's getting louder and louder.
When the Odin attacked the city, the head of the city. It's a rain of arrows.
A large number of powerful crossbows and arrows were stockpiled in the city. At this moment, he naturally used it all without hesitation.
Although there were less than 3,000 defenders, their courage was quite lacking. If it's a field battle. I'm afraid that it will be destroyed by the Odin people in one go. You can hide in the city defenses. The courage to shoot arrows is still there.
A few waves of arrows. gave a lot of casualties to the Odin people who besieged the city, gradually. After firing a few arrows, the defenders' momentum was final. There are a lot of them!
The Odin people are also people! Looking at his bow and arrows, "The Odin people besieging the city under the city also fell to the ground and died when they were shot by arrows." Or on the ground. Scream. The defenders' hearts are gradually strengthened!
The gates of the city have been blocked. The defenders don't have to be distracted, they just defend the city wall to the death, and deal with the Odin's annexed city.
Under Manninger's strict orders, the Red Snow Army rushed desperately. Naturally, most of the heavy ordnance was thrown away. In order to travel lightly and speed up.
During the siege. The equipment is naturally insufficient, "what catapult" siege vehicles. For a while. It can't be made at all. Even the ladders to climb the city "were only made in a hurry, and more than a dozen were made."
Beyond the new city is wilderness. Even though there used to be some groves. It has also been cut down, and at this moment, if the Odin people want to cut wood to build siege equipment, it will not be able to do it for a while.
The Odin braved the rain of arrows at the head of the city and rushed to the bottom of the city, "forcibly endure the wounds." before attacking the city, the city. Countless stones and boiling oil were immediately smashed.
Time. The sound of screaming and howling is all over the city!
After enduring considerable damage. The ladders to climb the city were finally erected one by one, and some of the warriors in Odin's army "took the lead in climbing the ladders." towards the city walls. Attack. Braving the rain of arrows and the boiling oil of the stones that fell on the head. Although from time to time some people screamed and fell from the sky, "But the Odin people are naturally fierce and brave." It still supports their determination to fight to the death!
But the defenders are still stubborn! For these subordinate armies. If it had been before, "naturally I didn't have the guts." Watch the Odin people kill. Come. The instinctive reaction is "to throw down the weapon and run away, or to bend the knee and surrender."
But after all, there is a thought in my heart: the city is broken and you will die!
At the moment of life and death", no matter how cowardly a person is, he can't help but burst out with courage.
The defenders resisted stubbornly. Although occasionally Odin warriors rushed to the death. but immediately it was besieged. The defenders who came fought to kill. Nene is even more powerful" with dozens of elite cavalry around him, in the city wall. Back and forth. Once it is found which section of the city defense is in an emergency. Nene took these elites and killed them immediately.
Her personal force is strong. With a reinforced group of elite cavalry again. These cavalrymen were strong and brave. To use a joke, "more Odin than Odin"!
Where there is a dangerous situation in the city defense. Nene led the people to roar and kill. She slashed with a long knife in her hand. No Odin can stand in her way!
Look at the city walls. Fought for a long time. The Odin people have done their best, though. Ladders can be built one by one. Gradually, they were overturned one by one.
There is more city. Sprinkle the oil and pour it down. Then he threw down the torches. Some of the ladders burst into flames!
The Odin fought for more than an hour. But they didn't do anything! Occasional attacks. of the head of the city. It was extinguished by the inner belt in an instant.
Manninger was just before his own formation. He was frail though. But it was forcibly propped up. Right in front of the military formation.
Look at your own pie. Go to a team of Odin warriors. Although brave the fight to the death. But he was never able to attack. City defense. Gradually, morale began to slacken.
Look at the erection on the city walls. The ladders were overturned one by one, and some of them had turned into raging fires.
Manninger finally sighed in disappointment.
Fought for more than an hour. He finally waved his hand weakly: "Let them retreat." ”
Manninger had to make this decision.
At this moment, the Odin people have an absolute advantage in strength. But after all, after the long journey, "there are no siege equipment, and even there are only a dozen ladders to climb the city, and they have just been made improvised."
Now. Although he still has plenty of troops. But the ladders were destroyed. You can't really let your warriors hit the walls with their heads.
Moreover. Manninger also knew he was taking a risk.
The army arrived. Attack the city immediately without repairs. It has always been taboo to march and fight. But Manninger had a fluke in his heart. The new city must have been lost for only a few days. The defenders of the city were unstable. Those who are subordinate to the army are afraid of themselves. Maybe you don't dare to fight to the death. All at once. Maybe you can attack it. Go..................
Pity. This fluke thought. Finally dismissed by himself after the failure of the adventure.
It seems that this attempt failed. Manninger had to redo his plans.
"Herald. Trim overnight...... The battalions made siege equipment overnight. Tomorrow I'm going to see a hundred long ladders!"
Manninger had to accept this fact. Just the face. The haze deepened a little more," coughed a few times in the cold wind. Surrounded by the guards, he went back to the carriage and rested.
He really can't blow the cold wind at the moment.
The patriarch's order was pressed down. The whole army rushed to make siege equipment overnight. Although the surrounding villages and forests were all cut down, the army could only send out small teams to search the woods on all sides. Some had to carry the wagons and wooden boxes of the army. Even the bars used for camping were dismantled to make ordnance.
This night. The camp of the Red Snow Army was in full swing. It's been a busy night.
Manninger rested in his carriage, but his heart was on fire. Where can you really fall asleep?
This night" he tossed and turned, only a faint uneasiness in his heart. A kind of failed decadence swells over and over again. Heart. It made Manninger's heart beat non-stop.
Until almost dawn. He rolled over. Just about to call someone. Suddenly, I heard a hurried shouting from outside.
"Patriarch!Lord!!Patriarch!!Oh no!Oh no!!There was a fire in the city!!
Listen to the voice. Manninger suddenly didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly jumped up. Kicked open the carriage, and the people "didn't even put on their clothes" and didn't wear shoes. I rushed out barefoot!
There is icy snow underfoot. The sky overhead was still gray. It's not really light yet, and it's dawn!
Manninger stood in the snow. Walking barefoot in the icy snow. And this chill. But it seems to be along the feet and legs. All the way to his heart!!
His eyes are fixed on the aspect of the new city!!
Fire!
Under the gray sky. New Town. The sky lit up with fire. It's so obvious!
Billowing black smoke shot up into the sky! The firelight seemed to dye the sky red!
From afar, in the darkness of the night. The fire was even more raging!
And the direction of the fire is in the new city!!
Quite a few clan generals and leaders in the army have already rushed to hear the news. Gathered around Manninger, some people looked at the fire in the city, and beat their chests, and some stomped their feet and shouted loudly.
Others looked at Manninger with dejected faces: "My lord, the patriarch, they set fire to the city, our warehouses, our things ......."
But after a long time, Manninger himself was silent, "just staring quietly at the new city in the distance."
As if at this moment. The backbone of the Red Snow Army. Top sorghum pillar. I was completely stunned.
Finally. In the midst of the repeated calls of the people next to him. Manninger finally turned his head, "a gaze." Sweep past the crowd.
What a gaze!
Others saw it clearly. This coach of his own. Eyes red!!
"Good. Good. Good...... ,...”
Manninger said a few "good" words in quick succession. Then he took a deep breath. The pale face "turned a strange red, and the corners of his mouth even showed a smirk.
Gas... Good. All right!" Manninger said. Word by word. It was like a cold bird crying blood! In his tone, he was indescribably poignant! "Good! good! This commander of the Byzantine army. Ruthless enough!!Block the city gates. Self-extinction. and set fire to the city. Burn into all our stockpiles!!He cut himself off and cut us off! It must be a man of great wisdom and courage! I, Manninger, lost at the hands of such a hero. It's not a loss!good!good!!!hahahahahaha!!"
At the end of the laugh, Manninger suddenly opened his mouth again. A cloud of blood spurted out. Falling on the snow" suddenly like a little pear blossom!
The majestic figure. Crashed down.
Manninger vomited blood again and collapsed. The people around him were in chaos with a bang. Someone rushed over and helped the commander-in-chief up.
But this time. Manninger was not unconscious. He was carried by several people. But his eyes were still wide, and the blood in his mouth was there. It's still squirting out one bite at a time!
looked at the patriarch's appearance of vomiting blood again and again. Everyone panicked. Until Manninger was put back in the carriage. Manninger's chest was already blood-red. The beards were dyed red.
A wizard from the army came to the rescue. Give him a potion. But I just poured it down. He squirted out again with his blood!
Some of the guards and lineage leaders around him who had followed him for many years were panicked. Some people cried on the spot, and some people cried.
Manninger vomited blood. But he never fell into a coma. Watch the people around you rescue. Watch the wizards in the army dome themselves with medicine. And to cast witchcraft on yourself.
From beginning to end, "this Odin hero." It's all just with their eyes open. In those eyes. But it was calm.
Finally. After the thief's silk scarves had been dyed red, "Manninger's vomiting blood" finally arrived.
The people next to him shouted one after another. Manninger seemed to be unable to hear. He just kept his eyes open, looking at the top of the carriage, and his eyes seemed to be still calm. He seemed to be quietly thinking about something.
Seeing that the manager finally stopped vomiting blood. The talent below breathed a sigh of relief.
But this time. Manninger suddenly spoke
"Gather my guards and surround the carriage. Anyone, within twenty steps. No one shall come near the "violator." Kill directly. ”
Manninger's calm voice came out word by word, although the middle qi was weak. But in that tone, it seemed to have regained a bit of the taste of the old killing.
"Chiefs of armies. Generals. Come and listen to me, if anyone doesn't come, "cut it directly." "This is the second command.
These two commands are spoken. The people around me were shocked!
After saying these two commands. Manninger closed his eyes. Quietly waited.
There are two strict orders from him. The army immediately went into action, and it didn't take more than a moment. All the leaders and generals of the Red Snow Army and clans. They all gathered.
Around the carriage. Hundreds of Manninger's personal guards were already within twenty paces. The water around the fence is impassable.
Manninger ordered "to have his carriage removed." So that all the generals who had gathered together "could see themselves by the chariots."
He looked strange at the moment. The tone was calm. Others did not dare to disobey the order to remove the carriage although they knew that the patriarch was seriously ill and could not blow the wind, but at this time. Manninger had made it clear that those who violated the order would be killed immediately! No mercy! Manninger suddenly seemed to regain some of his senses.
You don't even need to be helped. He himself sat up slowly, and sat in the carriage. The soft couch, and then the sharp eyes. Slowly swept across the field.
Whoever is swept by his gaze. They all subconsciously lowered their heads. Everyone has a faint understanding in their hearts......
"After I die. You need not panic. ”
Manninger said the first sentence slowly, and everyone present was shocked. Someone couldn't help but cry out. Manninger snorted coldly: "Don't talk nonsense at this moment! Before I finish speaking, don't interrupt "If anyone makes a noise, kill them directly!"
A stern command was spoken. The shouting people are all shut up. Mouthful.
Manninger took a deep breath. Looking at the leaders of these tribes around them. After all, they are all subordinates who have followed them for many years. His eyes softened a little.
"You don't need to panic. Everyone dies at a time. I can't feel it anymore at the moment. Life is in the moment, and now I have a few words to tell you. You listened. Do what I command best...... ,... But if someone disobeys after the fact, after I die. It's out of sight anyway. ”
Speaking of which. Manninger paused deliberately. Look at the crowd. Only then did the people below dare to speak. They shouted loudly: "Don't dare to disobey the order of the patriarch." ”
"Good. Manninger coughed twice, his voice weak, but his tone remained flat: "After I die." The whole army did not have to continue the siege. Immediately the whole army marched north" The army moved slowly and went north. If the towns we go along the way are still in our hands. and scavenged for grain and grass. If it has already been occupied by the Byzantines, go around the city without entanglement. ”
He said this. Cough again. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Manninger wiped it off himself. Only then did he continue: "The army goes all the way north" as long as you calm the hearts of the army. Be careful along the way, don't have to be fast. Take your steady. Even though the Byzantine army would send cavalry to entangle. You just have to ignore it. ... Be careful, and fight with them without dividing the troops. They have few soldiers. I can't help you. I know it's been a tough ride. From here. Beyond Syltanshire, over Mor, all the way north. "From the Wildfire Field, let's go back to our Odin Empire. As long as you can get out of Mooreshire. This is the way to live. Even if it's a walkthrough. ”
That's all he said. Everyone below is discolored!
By this time. After all, Odin is brutal by nature. Finally, a clan leader couldn't help but speak: "Patriarch, you don't have to be so decadent. We still have tens of thousands of fighters. This new city is underarmed. Tomorrow we will be able to conquer it...... ,... When the time comes......"
Manninger hears this. There was a hint of fierceness in his eyes. Raise your hand. Pointing at the person who spoke, he said coldly: "Kill!"
He gave the order. Immediately, several guards pounced. Go. and at once he pressed the chief of the tribe who spoke to the ground. The man was horrified. Repeatedly shouted and begged for mercy. But one of the guards had already drawn a knife and stabbed him in the neck. With a sound of persuasion, a person's head was cut off!!
Manninger sighed, "Is there anyone else to say?"
Where else dare to speak up below? Everyone is bowing to the ground" and shouted loudly: "Don't dare to disobey the patriarch!"
"Good. Manninger's face turned a little more gray, and he took a deep breath and "swept his eyes over everyone" as if hesitating for a moment: "Fielding stays." The others retreated to the battalions. Let's go with the whole army. ”
The people below looked at each other, "Finally, they all dispersed under the drive of those patriarchs' personal guards."
On the spot. The man named Fielding, who was the only one left by Manninger, remained obedient to the carriage.
This man named Fielding. About forty years old. A leather jacket "looks quite majestic, look. To go is a standard to the Odin" just compared to other Odin. There was a little more calm in his eyes.
Manninger sighed softly, "Fielding." You are one of the elders of my tribe. Work steadily on weekdays. There are some things that "I can only entrust to you." to be relieved. ”
The field fell to his knees. Again and again.
Manninger looked at the other party's attitude. There was a flash of satisfaction in his eyes. A few more gasps. Only then did he say slowly: "The battle situation is no longer under our control. It is imperative to retreat. This matter will be handed over to you after I die. My personal guard battalion" is under your command. If someone is not convinced, you can kill them directly. ”
First... Be. The Fielding hesitated. A hint of pain flashed in his eyes, and he finally nodded.
"We Odin are too proud...... At this moment, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers in hand, "even if I die", most of them are not convinced, "to continue to attack the new city." But there are some words. If others don't understand, I said it, and only you can understand it. There are so many chiefs and elders of the tribe. But I have always trusted you the most" because you have a clear mind. He is a rare talent among my Odin. We Odinite, there is no shortage of martial arts.
Missing. But it is precisely the person with the brain. When Guangge said this, his voice was a little weaker: "If you forcibly attack the city." "The two cities can naturally be laid, but after they are laid", it is futile and useless. Stockpiled grain, grass and ordnance in the new city. All burned by the Byzantines. Our foundations are shaken. This Siltan County. I can't stay anymore. If I were still alive and commanding the whole army, I might be able to lead the troops here to continue to fight them...... ,......... But I'm dead. In the whole army. Although there are many brave generals, "but there is no one who can lead the whole army." Keep fighting. That would really be the way to die! The commander of this Byzantine army was very good. This means one by one. It's all about forcing us. Doomed. I was thinking about it for a long time.
It's all true. No, the good situation is obviously in me. How could the other party turn the situation around...... ,... I'm proud of Manninger all my life. Encounter such an adversary. Lost. It's not a loss. We have no foundation, and the capture of the new city is just an empty shell. Other towns in Siltanshire. I am afraid that many places will be stodied by the Byzantines. Our guest army is here. I can't stay any longer. If you force it to fight again, "these tens of thousands of tribal elites." I'm going to die here...... ,......... If I, the Bashak, have lost tens of thousands of elites. In the future, the whole clan will inevitably be annexed by other tribes, Fielding. What I entrust to you today is the life and death of my Bashak family. ”,
This Fielding hears this. Finally raised his head. With tears in his eyes: "Patriarch." I made a note of it, and I would never dare to disobey it in the slightest. ”
Manninger's face was tired, but his eyes showed a hint of relief: "Okay...... ,......... Is there anything else you'd like to ask. Let's talk about it now. ”
Fielding didn't hesitate either. He asked directly: "May I ask the patriarch after you, the clan leader." Who's going to do that?"
Manninger nodded: "My second son is still in the clan. Although he was only seventeen years old. But there are still in the tribe. Wan Qingzhuang. You bring back tens of thousands of warriors. If you can help as much as you can...... ,......”,,
"I will do my best to assist your son!" said Fielding without hesitation.
There was a pause. Fielding couldn't help but say, "I'll lead the troops back north." What should I do if the Byzantine army intercepts it?",
Manninger listened. Said lightly: "If it's a small group of harassment." Ignore him. Permission to retreat".
Fielding hesitated: "What if the army comes?,,
Manninger listened. His eyes froze," he was silent for a long time. Only then did he exhale and said slowly: "The Byzantines have already won" They have few soldiers after all. Since we have withdrawn our troops. I think that the commander of the Byzantine army may not be willing to fight us to the death. We still have tens of thousands of fighters after all. If it is really a desperate battle, "even if the other party can win." The losses will not be small. At this moment, there was great chaos in Byzantium. In troubled times, "everyone is self-consolidated." Where would anyone do such a thankless task. This Byzantine commander was supposed to be a smart man. So ..................",
Funeral frowned. Look at the patriarch. Hesitation. Still couldn't help but say: "But in case, the other party will really assemble a large army to intercept us." I should.................. ,,
Manninger face. Muscle boat. Staring deeply at Fielding in front of him. This Fielding was looking at Manninger at the moment. Without flinching: "Since the patriarch has handed over the affairs to me." I don't dare to slack off in the slightest. This among the joints. Please make it clear. ,
Manninger finally nodded. lowered his voice: "There is not much food left in the army. If it is intercepted by a large army of enemies. We can't fight for long. Losing is inevitable.................. If you really can't do anything, I promise you to only take my own elite to break through to the north. Leave this great camp behind. Go home by yourself!
He Byzantine army. Surely focus on annihilating my army, "Your small elite has broken through." They won't chase him. After returning home, you go to meet the Divine Emperor Luxia. Face to show what happened to my Chixue Army. After all, His Majesty the Divine Emperor and I still have some affection. Your Majesty's temperament. It has always been, the strong, not the weak." I died in battle. He was in love. I will surely shelter my people. and nurture my second son to succeed as patriarch. It's also about saving my Bashak family. ”,
Hear here. Fielding's face sank! His body couldn't help but shake!
Manninger's words were clear. It's about making a promise to yourself. In times of crisis. You can abandon the whole army and take only his Manninger pro-camp away!
It's time for the most critical moment. After all, Manninger still puts his own family first! Even if he abandons the whole army, he must let his own camp return to China" so that he can support his second son to inherit the position of patriarch!
The true colors of the hero. Unmistakable!
