"Let's go down. ”

Green rubbed the faintly painful forehead and snorted with a calm face. The young officer in front of him straightened up at once, made a military salute, and then turned and walked out of the tent with his head held high

When the curtain was lifted, a cold wind rushed in from outside, and Green couldn't help but shiver slightly.

The wind is not as cold as expected, but only ...... Green's heart was really cold.

The officer is the logistics officer in the army, and the logistics chief of the entire Mor County is Cato, who is known as the smuggler in the army, and the logistics system in the army is all cardinal. Soon after the establishment of the army of the Northern Military District, "the logistics officers in the army were all recruited and selected by Cato, and under the influence of that Cato, one by one the temperament was the same as Cato's personality: cunning with a bit of ruthlessness.

Green has never been too involved in the logistics system, on the one hand, Cato's personality and loyalty to Char do not need to be repeated, with Cato's shrewdness and loyalty, Green is also very relieved to hand over such a heavy burden of logistics and military supplies to him. On the other hand, "with Char's family background and the growth of this small group little by little", Green, an old man in the army, naturally has a little understanding of his own in his heart. He knows very well that "in Char's small group, his prestige and qualifications are second only to Char's, and he even said unceremoniously" If you simply look at the qualifications, he is nicknamed Mad Dog, and he is a celebrity in the army who has been famous in the empire for many years...... To be famous, to be famous, to be born and have a background" to have connections. With his status as Green, if he is placed somewhere else, in such troubled times, "it is the time for the empire to employ people, and it is enough to assume the position of commander."

Char has only been in the army for a short time," but Green had already wisely begun to avoid suspicion, although he knew that Char would not doubt himself, but in this small group, "not necessarily others will think the same way." In order to consolidate the stability of this small group, then it is necessary to establish Char's authority and core position, and if he interferes too much in everything, he will inevitably be retorted by others behind his back.

Therefore, for such an important opening as military supplies, Green almost let Char hand over Char to Cato to manage, "I will never easily interfere in matters on weekdays."

On this expedition, the accompanying military quartermasters "were also arranged by Cato, and he did not install his own henchmen."

This approach has maintained the stability of the small group of Moore County, and at the same time, it has also made some people who have hidden other thoughts lose their thoughts Char After all, Char has a little less seniority, and annexed the remnants of the Sixth and Seventh Corps, and the people of those two corps have no shortage of veteran veterans in the army, although they were forced to obey due to the situation at that time, but after a long time, under the command of a rookie in the army like Fu Ya, it is inevitable that no one will have other thoughts in their hearts. Not to mention anything else, when Char was in Denzel City, when Char left the city several times for many days, someone below came to Grimm vaguely, vaguely expressing his meaning, hoping that Grimm could take the opportunity to seize power or even replace him!

In the hearts of those veteran oils, Green is still a person who is qualified to be a commander, after all, Mad Dog's fame and qualifications are there, and Char ...... He's just too tender.

Fortunately, Green's personality and uprightness did not pay attention to those dark undercurrents, but simply let go of the power and made a sufficient gesture. Only then did he gradually calm down some of the restlessness.

On this expedition, although Green was a little dissatisfied in his heart, at least in front of people, he did not openly question Char's orders one by one, any army, if the majesty of the commander could not be guaranteed, then even if this army was well-equipped, it would be a mess!

Since the expedition to the south, Green has kept in mind the plan he discussed with Char, and has taken this "Lord*...... "southward" step by step, and if it is difficult to say, this kind of posture is like going out on the march? It seems to be low-key and negative when withdrawing troops.

The army advanced slowly, huddled into a ball, steady to the extreme, and did not make any risky moves, even if there were repeated provocations by Odin's small army blocking along the way, he Green could only be invisible, and the army slowly moved south, "Step by step, carefully burrowed into this trap arranged by Manninger......

But today, Green really can't bear it anymore!

"Marching and fighting" sometimes means taking risks, how can Green not understand this truth, but the problem is "the current situation, it is really dangerous!"

Manningge mobilized garrisons from all over the country to intercept them, Odin elites gathered, and the old foundation of the Red Snow Army was all pulled out by Manning! This Odin hero, full of spirit, made up his mind to pay attention to eating this Byzantine army that broke into his own territory, the last resistance force in the north! In one fell swoop, the situation in the north was leveled, and the overall situation was completely settled!

At this moment, entrenched around Green's lone army, in front of the elite of the tens of thousands of Red Snow Army led by Manninger himself, thousands of Odin reindeer cavalry roamed on both wings, and a tens of thousands of Red Snow Army copied behind Green's "cut off the retreat route of Green's army."

What's more, now Green's department has penetrated hundreds of miles into Xiertanran County, and the army is alone, and there is naturally nowhere to replenish the heavy grain and grass, and there are all eyes around him.

The army had been able to move slowly before, but two days ago, it was finally unable to move on.

This sleeve, Manninger finally got into. "Can" Ronaldo. "Guard" Kouga 6

There is no way to advance, no way to retreat, just now the logistics officer in the army came to report to the grid well, and the consumption of grain and grass in the army is almost at the bottom.

The food of the people can last a few more days, after all, the soldiers eat less, and they can delay for a few more days. But the forage for the war horses was not enough. Originally, when he went on the expedition, there were not many materials carried with the army, and according to Char's plan, the grain and grass carried by the army were only enough to support half a month. No matter how economical Green is, "Today, this stock is almost exhausted!"

Manninger's cunning guy is also cunning, and he has already tied it up. bag, and he also got into it" The other party was not in a hurry to attack, but instead waited quietly around him.

Thinking about it, this Odin Xiongjie also calculated exactly how much grain and grass his lone army could carry when he went deep into the enemy's territory? If he continues to consume like this, when his army runs out of food, the army's spirit will definitely be unstable, and then he will rush forward, and the fight will naturally be twice the result with half the effort.

When the logistics officer in the army reported to himself, Green already knew that "within three days, if there is no change", then his lone army will only have a dead end!

In fact, since yesterday, "the daily rations of the officers and men of the army have been reduced to 70 percent of the standard ration."

Just now, the officer on duty took the initiative to propose a solution, and this suggestion made Green a little surprised by what kind of subordinates the smuggler Cato had cultivated!

The officer looked a little too young, "Although he straightened up when he stood, after all, in the eyes of an old soldier like Green, that military posture was still a little immature." But it was such a rookie-looking young officer who came up with an idea that scared Green!

"My lord, if I can't do anything, I have a way to stop the morale fluctuations of the food shortage, and the adults only need to arrest me in front of the officers and men of the whole army, and then order me to be killed by military law! As long as it is announced to the whole army that it is I, the officer on duty, who has embezzled ordnance, grain and grass, that has caused the shortage of food in the army," the panic of the soldiers about the lack of food will turn into resentment against me...... Although this method cannot eradicate the current predicament, it can delay the adults for at least two days!",

When the young officer said this in a firm, even somewhat indifferent tone, "Even Green was a little moved.

Such a ruthless heart...... Where did Char find such a young man?

He inquired and found out that this young logistics quartermaster, whose name was "Kai *......", was a young man from a broken family that Char had rescued from the Odin people in the south when he was out on a previous trip.

Because he was quite good at calculating, he was finally asked by Cato to use it under his men.

The method proposed by Kevin was extremely cruel and cold, and he didn't care about his own life at all. How could Green really use such a method? After a few words of reproach, he sent the quartermaster out.

It's just that there is only so much left in the army, and if there is no progress in Xia Ya in the future, the more than 10,000 people he brought will really have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

Just when Green racked his brains to think of a countermeasure, worried about his situation. Manninger is full of spirit, as if he has seen the most beautiful moment of his life!

Since the Chixue Army moved south, except for a small setback at the beginning, it was followed by a complete annihilation of the main force of the Seventh Corps of the Byzantine Empire, which greatly boosted Manninger's prestige. ate the corps of a central army of the Byzantine Empire, such a prominent martial honor, in the Odin Empire, only the martial god Hasting, known as the first general of Odin, has ever been created!

And Manninger's achievement, after it spread to China, caused a shock among the five major tribes: "The Red Snow Army can be said to be famous in the first battle! Manninger himself is different from the ordinary leader of the Odin tribe, he has ambition and ambition, and is even better at scheming, whether it is knowledge or mind, it is not comparable to other barbaric Odin. He is very clear about the situation in the Odin Empire, below the Odin God Emperor, the five major tribes are not subordinate to each other, and only a strong figure like the God Emperor can suppress the awe and submission of all tribes. He Manninger has always firmly hugged the thigh of the God Emperor, and it is more likely that his family and the royal family will be married...... It can be said that as long as the current Emperor Odin reigns, there will be no problem with the power of his Manninger and Bashak clans.

But Manninger thinks longer!

What he wants is not only the power and wealth of this generation of his own tribe, what he wants is that Bashak can enjoy power and wealth for a generation, stand in the core of the power of the Odin Empire, and stand tall!

In addition to keeping in line with the royal family, Manninger's heart is to take advantage of the opportunity of the Odin Empire's southern invasion to occupy a vast and rich habitat for his tribe!

The land of these counties in the north of the Byzantine Empire "are rich grain-producing areas, and the climate is relatively adaptable to the Odins. In his opinion, it was just a bandit-style war, although it seemed to be a momentary scene, no matter how many slaves were robbed, "where is the land worth?!"

Only by truly occupying the land of the Byzantine Empire and "turning the Byzantines on this land into slaves of the Byzantine Empire, from generation to generation, slaves and slaves", let their tribes lay a foundation in this land, and firmly guard this land, will the Bashak people be strong and prosperous in the future! Even if after a few generations, "even if the tribe is no longer favored by the god emperor, as long as there is such a large piece of land" and countless slave people in hand, there will be no problem with the strength of Bashak!

Since moving south, they have first annihilated the Seventh Corps of the Byzantine Empire, then occupied the entire territory of Siltan County, and then marched eastward to annex the Kosi Suohui District! ！

He has been in business for more than half a year, "driving slaves" to build new settlements, and is ready to move here!

As long as this cold winter has passed and the road is clear, a large number of ethnic groups can migrate from the country to come here to reproduce, and as long as they gain a firm foothold in a few years, "this land" will completely become their own own!

This is capital, it is the capital in hand!

Even had occasional impulses in my heart, and I couldn't help but reverie: if there were any changes in the Odin Empire a hundred years later, if there was an era of weak royal family, as long as his Bashak clan had such a strong strength...... It doesn't have to be a chance to rise to the top of power!

Who knows what the future will bring? Everything you do today is to lay a solid foundation for the future prosperity of your tribe!

In Manninger's view, the only stumbling block in front of him now was the small resistance that was entrenched there in Mooreshire behind him.

Before the winter, he sent his son Morka to go to the conquest, but he suffered a small loss" Although Manninger was angry, he didn't really care too much, after all, in his opinion, it was just a group of rabble, his own Odin elite, but he was careless and missed, although his son's incompetence made him a little disappointed "But as long as he waits for the beginning of spring, he raises enough food and grass, and leads the army to conquer in person, he can naturally sweep away those rabble."

At that time, he has tens of thousands of male soldiers in his hands, as well as tens of thousands of attached troops, sitting on Moll County, Siltan County, the "Corsican Military Region", the three largest grain-producing areas in the north of the Byzantine Empire, with thousands of miles of land "One million people will arrive one by one on that day, even if it is His Majesty the Odin God Emperor who is overwhelming in the world, you must look up to yourself!!

Of the five major tribes in the Odin Empire, even if his own Bashak can't compete with the royal family, it is enough to surpass the other tribes!

Life is like this, and the pinnacle achievement of life is just around the corner" This situation, how can Manninger not be happy"How can he not consult?

But even with such a great prospect in front of him, Manninger still reminds himself to be cautious all the time!

Now that his army has set up a trap and has surrounded the lone army in front of him, he still did not order a general attack immediately" but restrained the impulse in his heart and continued to wait patiently......

He has to wait! When the opponent's food is exhausted and the army's morale is scattered, then he will crush the enemy army in one fell swoop!

Leading the army for many years, Manninger did not fail to calculate that the other side would send a small group of strange soldiers to the hinterland of his territory to cause chaos to attract his attention.

However, under his arrangement, in the territory of Sirtan County, there are small groups of Odin troops stationed in various important towns, and a small number of Red Snow Army plus a certain number of subordinate troops are surrendered, "even if there are small groups of enemy troops coming in to make trouble, the troops left behind by him are always enough to deal with it!" and his old nest New Town "left his son Morka, more than 2,000 of the most elite native warriors, and thousands of subordinate troops, even if there are tens of thousands of Byzantine troops attacking the city, it is enough to deal with it!"

No matter how Manninger calculated, he felt that the situation in front of him was already foolproof! These small enemies under his command could no longer have a chance to make waves!

He led this 10,000 elite "to block the front front of Grimm's army, and waited day after day."

Manninger, who was waiting, was anxious about himself. It's just that he decided in his heart that "if you wait one more day, the enemy army will be weak!"

This day "saw that under his own patient waiting, it was finally over again."

In the evening, "he ran out of his tent and went round the barracks, and the system of the Odin's army was rude," and his commander went around, but it was not as strict as in the Byzantine army, and "everywhere he went, the warriors only saluted respectfully," and then he did not stop what he was doing, and "he was going to eat and eat." There are even Odin warriors in the army, and when they are idle, they take off their shirts and fight for fun, which is also a common scene in Odin's army.

Manninger walked around the camp and then ran to the camp gate himself, "and for a while he looked out from the hastily erected lookout, the Byzantine army in the distance was still silent......

(Is it already demoralized?or is the enemy commander helpless to accept his fate?)

It's just that Manninger feels a little uncomfortable that "on the Byzantine camp opposite, bundles of cooking smoke are still wafting out."

Just by looking at the smoke, "at least you can know" that the enemy has not run out of food.

(It seems that we have to wait a little longer...... Manninger sighed in his heart.

Although there is an impulse in his heart, "but he is an old and cunning person, and the more he goes to the critical moment", the more he reminds himself to calm down.

After looking at it for a while, Manninger snorted, walked off the lookout, and was about to go back to his tent.

There was a glint in his eyes, and he suddenly turned abruptly and climbed up the lookout again!

"Hahaha!!It seems that the commander of this Byzantine army still has some ability!He was almost deceived by him!hehe!!",

He smiled very happily, and the frown that had been tightly locked for days was all relaxed, Manninger was the commander and patriarch, and naturally there were other accompanying generals and subordinates around him" Someone asked: "Chief" What are you smiling at so for?",

Manninger smiled proudly, pointed to the camp of the Byzantine army in the distance, and shouted: "Do you see the smoke of the cooking? Three times a day, in the morning and in the evening, there will be cooking smoke, and I was deceived by the commander of the Byzantine army before!

After a pause, he pointed to the distance: "What do you see unusual about the smoke?"

These subordinates around him are all mocking which Odin Hanzi, staring at it for a long time, which Jia can see anything? Angry, after all, the generals and leaders of these tribes around him "Although they are brave and brave, but in terms of brains, they are ...... Secretly smiled bitterly, maybe this is also destined, God gave the Odin people strength and bravery, but they were rude and reckless, like the Odin people who are willing to use their brains, there are really less!

However, this thought was only a momentary effort, and Manninger immediately sneered: "These days, the opposite side has been cooking smoke every day, but today has made me see the flaw! You have seen carefully! If it is really cooking smoke, the smoke must be thin and thin, but you look at the cooking smoke on the other side, the smoke is black and coarse! Where is this cooking smoke, it is clear that in the Byzantine army opposite, the mist of burning firewood "came to pretend to be cooking smoke to deceive me! I think that the Byzantine army must have been short of food for a long time, but the enemy commander was afraid that I would take the opportunity to attack" That's why the army cut down firewood and burn it, and use firewood smoke to pass off cooking smoke! This kind of strategy can be regarded as his bothering! I have been deceived for a few days, and now that I have seen it clearly, I naturally will not continue to sit idly by!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and as soon as he raised his hand, he shouted: "Return to the tent, beat the drums! The leaders of the battalions gather! ! Defeat the enemy, just today!!".

Manninger's order shook the whole army, and with the beating of the drums in the army, the leaders of the battalions rushed towards the commander's tent.

In the big tent, Manninger was already waiting, and by the time all the leaders and generals in his army gathered, Manninger was already wearing armor all over his body, "his face was full of excitement and excitement, and he was full of spirit!"

Seeing the crowd of people in the tent, in front of him, he saw that they were the most heroic warriors in his clan" Manninger was even more excited, so he shouted: "Everyone! After waiting for many days, everyone must have been anxious about waiting! The lonely soldier in that area is lowering his eyelids, we have endured it for many days, and today, we are going to eat this piece of fat in one bite!,"

In the big tent, the sound of drinking almost overturned the tent!

The Odin people are good at fighting and have been in this camp for many days, "The warriors below have long been impatient!"

"I'm ...... tonight."

Manninger's face was full of light, and he was in a happy mood, and he was about to impassionedly pass on some order" Suddenly, I heard a commotion outside the tent, and then the curtain of the tent was opened, and the sound of messy footsteps came, and a few of his relatives and guards rushed in with a few Odin warriors in embarrassment!

The few people who came in were all covered in blood, the armor on their bodies was crooked, and some even had no weapons, and as soon as they came in, they stumbled and pounced, and they all threw themselves on the ground in front of Manninger, and some people immediately let out a cry!

Manninger's voice stopped abruptly, and when he saw these people, he vaguely recognized them as the small leaders of his own elite army left in the new city, and his heart suddenly sank!

"You," you guys...... How...... ，”

Manninger's face had changed, and he was about to ask, but suddenly he felt that he was short of breath, as if he had a faint premonition in his heart.

An embarrassed Odin warrior pounced in front of him, slammed his head on the ground a few times, then got up, and was about to say something, but Manninger suddenly shouted: "Come here, whisper to me*......"

The warrior was stunned for a moment, then walked up to Manninger, leaned over, and whispered in Manninger's ear for a moment.

I saw that Manninger's face, which had been full of red light before, suddenly turned pale! The blood on his face seemed to fade in an instant! The muscles on his cheeks, one by one, trembled violently, and his eyes widened and his face was full of hideousness! At last his eyes were full of rage and grief!

Finally, he suddenly yelled: "It hurts, it hurts me!!!,"

Manninger glared angrily, raised a kick and kicked directly in the abdomen of the Odin warrior in front of him, kicking the man to the ground, his voice trembling, his tone trembling: "You!!You shit!!How did I confess before I came out!,You, you!!You still have the face to see me!What do you keep to do!*......"

He immediately pulled out the long knife at his waist, and with a swipe, he slashed down!

This sudden change made the whole tent stunned! It was as if everyone was shocked, and no one dared to say a word for a long time!

Manninger held the long knife in his hand, but his body trembled violently, and finally staggered, and suddenly his hand was loosened, and the knife was thrown on the ground, and his own people sat down on the ground!

There were already guards next to him who hurriedly rushed up to support him on both sides, and then he was barely put up and placed on a chair covered with animal skins.

Manninger's breath was already weak, his eyes were closed, and his teeth were clenched!

At this moment, everyone panicked! Many generals and leaders rushed up, some shouted, some shouted, some ordered to summon guards, and some went out to call the sorcerers in the army to heal.

After a while, he heard Manninger lying there" groaned, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the faces crowded in front of him, Manninger's lips squirmed, "As soon as he opened his mouth, poof, a mouthful of blood spurted out!"

Blood was sprinkled on his chest and chin, and "the beard was also a patch of red, which was even more terrifying!"

"Chief!,"

"Your Excellency!",

"Patriarch ......",

The big tent called out one after another, and "Manninger's sloppy eyes" finally gradually revealed a trace of sobriety.

He raised his fingers weakly, his lips squirmed, and although his voice was soft, everyone finally heard this sentence!

"Office...... , retired soldiers...... , the whole army assembles and returns to the new city!".
