Volume III, Chapter 66

Dressed in a gorgeous dress, he walked into the position with his personal guard, and the white shadow hesitated outside the pit with the smell of blood, and finally followed.

The group made a few turns in the tunnel and first entered the positional medical area.

A small officer standing around the corner seemed to have been struck by lightning, his body straightened up in an instant, and he shouted: "Your Majesty the Emperor has arrived—all stand and salute!"

"The wounded don't salute—the doctor gets on with his work!" Cohen overcame his urge to return the salute and instead scanned the place with a warm eye: "Are there many wounded?"

"Report to Your Majesty, there are not many wounded. The head of the physician hurriedly trotted over, stood with his hands down, and replied: "Most of them are minor injuries, and some of the wounded have been brought back from the front-line positions. ”

"Check carefully, let those who can continue to fight return to the troops, and those who cannot continue the battle will be sent back to the rear. Cohen examined the injuries of several soldiers, "Does the new healing potion work?"

"Compared to the original soil, the effect is somewhat reduced, and it seems to be a problem with the soil. The physician leader took out a small bottle of potion: "However, Your Majesty, this is also much better than ordinary potion." ”

"It's good if it works!" Cohen nodded, walked into the medical area, and asked a few seriously injured about the situation.

"Originally, I prepared a medal for the troops attacking the Holy Capital, but now it seems that you injured fools have no choice but to go back to recuperate!" Cohen suddenly raised his voice and said to the wounded around him that the wounded around him were all dumbfounded, could it be that the brave wound was also a fault?

"See, this is for the troops attacking the Holy Capital. Cohen took a silver medallion from the rock: "How about this medal of courage and wisdom?

The wounded were sad and aggrieved, and some of the recruits were already brewing sad tears.

"What's the matter? The soldiers who follow me can't be stupid!" Cohen tossed the medal back to the rock, "You have to rely on your head to fight, you can't fight to the death—you've been systematically trained." There are the best armor weapons on the continent. Rely on a well-established position to fight this rookie rebel. Don't disgrace me!"

"But boss," a battalion commander lying on the bed raised his head and exclaimed, "We are fighting exactly according to the plan of the General Staff!"

"I tell you plainly that this battle has been carefully designed by me for the purpose of training you with this rebel force. The shape of the battlefield changes quickly, you idiots won't react on the spot?" Cohen walked over and slapped the battalion commander on the head: "According to my expectations, the wounded should be one-fifth of what they are now!"

"Yes, boss. I was wrong......" replied the battalion commander contentedly, touching his head.

"You've got a few days to recuperate, so I'll give you a chance. Cohen suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Do you have the confidence to improve your combat effectiveness?"

"Have faith!"

"What do you rely on to fight?"

"the head!"

"Do you want to get a medal?"

"Yes!"

"Okay then!" His Majesty the Emperor smiled slightly: "There is a medal, I am waiting for you to get it." ”

His Majesty Cohen had only inspected the front of the position, and the front end of the main reinforcement of the rebels had arrived not far from the position. By the time Cohen returned to headquarters, the corps commander, Brigadier General Moya, was already waiting in front of the map with a large number of officers.

"Your Majesty, the enemy army has arrived. Brigadier General Mo Ya turned his body sideways and introduced the officers behind Cohen: "The officers here are the backbone of the Third Army in the future, and I will take them to observe the war command skills of His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"The commander of the Third Legion is you, Brigadier General Moya. Cohen shook his head: "I'm the emperor now." ”

"I understand the identity of His Majesty the Emperor, but I also know that after the capture of the Holy Capital. His Majesty the Emperor would not have had the opportunity to command a battle of this level. Brigadier General Mo Ya pleaded in a firm tone: "Even if His Majesty the Emperor gives us a war lesson, please!"

"His Majesty the Emperor. Please!" pleaded in unison from hundreds of officers.

"Brigadier General Moya, what you said makes me very embarrassed. Cohen touched his chin: "It's trouble to be known, and you don't know what kind of virtue the director of military discipline is." ”

"Didn't His Majesty the Emperor say it? This is just training, and no one will leak it. The people who have seen the Emperor command the battle have become very competent officers, even if it is for the victory of the battle in the future, please command it again!" Mo Ya took another step forward: "The commander's position command, we have been looking forward to it for a long time. ”

"The title of sir, it's really nostalgic!" Cohen turned his head to look out the window, "Okay! ”

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor agreed, a burst of cheers immediately erupted in the command headquarters. The white shadow who was in charge of "watching" Cohen pretended not to see anything at this time, she took the drink from the orderly and stood quietly beside Cohen.

"The staff officer is in place, the intelligence officer is in place, and the herald officer is in place!" Mo Ya gave up his command position: "Sir, I am now your adjutant. ”

Cohen nodded and walked over, giving the first order: "The front-line positions are ready to meet the enemy, intelligence!"

"Yes, sir. The intelligence officer replied loudly: "The enemy cavalry numbered 60,000 and the auxiliary army 20,000, advancing along the river bank, and there have been skirmishes in a few sections!"

"What is the length of the enemy's march?"

"Basically maintain a rushing attack formation, and advance in stages - the team is ten miles long!"

"The front and rear passages of the position are fully open, the forward traps are fully open, and the catapult positions are ready. Cohen reached out and took the red wine handed by the white shadow: "The winged troops are on standby, contact the Second Legion!"

"Yes, sir!"

Dozens of rebel scout cavalry, galloping at the front, had been targeted by the elven archers at the front of the position.

In Conson, the rebel forces were all cut off from the outside world.

The more than 1,000 catapults in the dark army are still attacking, the original majestic city wall has been beaten to pieces, and the stone bullets outside the city wall are constantly piling up, in some sections, the height of the stone bullets has accumulated to half of the city wall, and several city gates have been completely buried under the rubble.

On the first day, hundreds of rebel logistical systems died near the city walls. After that, no one dared to brave the dense stone bullets to deliver food forward. Just a few streets away. But the soldiers still had to gnaw on dry food. This is a great irony.

If this is irony, then the latter can be said to be sad - some of the entrances to the caves were blocked by stone bullets, and when the soldiers tried to clean up, the piled up stone bullets suddenly collapsed, and the entire cave was buried alive, and the faint moaning continued for several days before gradually subsided.

The rebels also organized two assaults at one time. The purpose of the first time was to cover the intelligence personnel of the army to break out of the encirclement and report the real situation here, because the dark army has complex numbers, tactics and attack methods. This information is not something that can be conveyed by a few piles of wolf smoke.

However, the troops who rushed out of the city were very poor, and before they could even unfold their formation, the giant crossbows that the dark army had already arranged were launched.

The fragile flesh wrapped in thin iron armor collided violently with a giant crossbow arrow the thickness of a fist and a metal arrow......

In the continuous blood and screams, thousands of rebel elites fell near the city gate, posing with their own flesh and blood in a miserable shape of corpses all over the field, interpreting the profound meaning of "battlefield" for the soldiers on both sides.

But the rebel commander's will to fight was so strong that thousands of more ghosts were added to the city walls, and the information to be reported to the rear was slowly rotting in the same place......

Thereafter. The rebel troops were overshadowed by extreme pessimism, and the soldiers had desperate expressions on their faces. Mu Ne's squatting sitting. When the coins were handed out every morning, they no longer had the desire to receive the money.

The scene in the city was even more bleak, the catapults of the dark army continued to extend their range, and the houses near the city walls were all destroyed, half a mile, a mile, and the area of attack became wider and wider.

Although the actual casualties were not large, under this endless and indiscriminate onslaught, the people's will, which seemed to be so "united" a few days ago, is declining at a rare and commendable speed.

Because they all understood that the dark army did not want to take the city, they wanted to completely destroy the city, and that terrible Cohen. Kaida, he can do this with only cheap stones.

More and more refugees have fled to the heart of the city, and in the past few days, the cries of the people have not stopped as their property and homes have been destroyed by the fighting.

Apart from the use of this "despicable means that are not on the table", the dark army has not resorted to any other attacks. However, the rebels did not dare to be careless, and a large number of troops had to retreat into the caves of the soldiers, counting their fingers in fear.

On the other hand, Major General Carlos, the chief of staff of the dark army, has been calming the impatience of the generals for the past few days, while dealing with tedious affairs with his able skills.

He wanted to leave more time to think, and he didn't fully understand the state of affairs in front of him.

His Majesty the Emperor used a small number of troops of the First Army to besiege the city, which should be a training for these troops, and at the same time, he also wanted to find a proper way to attack the Holy Capital, after all, the Holy Capital City has a special status. The Holy Capital was not only the capital of the future state, but also the place where the former emperor grew up, and if it was beaten into ruins, His Majesty Cohen would be emotionally unacceptable.

But is it also training to push the Third Army to the front? This important strategic defense needs to be both offensive and defensive, and the simple defense that the Third Army is good at cannot completely destroy the rebels, and the rebels can completely turn around and flee from the battle line......

His Majesty Cohen mobilized another ten Guards Cavalry regiments to go over, and why is that?

Carlos took the map, carefully studied the location of the ambush, and concluded that the terrain was not suitable for a decisive cavalry battle, and that if ten Guards Cavalry regiments were gathered on a narrow plain, plus the 100,000 cavalry of the rebels, there would be too many of them to be used.

Could it be that these ten Guards Cavalry regiments have other uses? Wouldn't they be killing all the way to the Holy Capital?

"It's a completely man-made complication!" Carlos looked at the map, "what the hell is the boss thinking?"

"Report - battle report from the front!" the intelligence officer shouted at the door, handing over the battle briefing: "The Third Army is fighting the rebels. ”

"Finally the fight started, how is the situation?" Carlos took the text and looked at it casually.

"The Third Army fought quite well, the rebel reinforcements were strewn all over the field, and we captured a lot of horses. The intelligence officer wiped the sweat from his head and said in a very excited tone: "Blocking cavalry with infantry, the Third Army is now famous." ”

"Really?" asked Carlos, "how is the situation with His Majesty the Emperor?"

"One qiē is normal. ”

After the intelligence officer left, Carlos still couldn't figure out the boss's intentions. Only a sigh stood up. Then he went to command his siege - I can't figure it out. Just go and ask the boss directly.

On the same day, the Holy Capital City.

The generals of the military department explained the current situation to His Majesty Lu Man in an impassioned tone, so that everyone present believed that "the current situation is very good, and the reinforcements have arrived at the foot of the city of Conson, and they are preparing for a decisive battle with the Al Qaeda family." The real situation, the hall was a jubilant scene.

After a proper push, the Prime Minister took his farewell to His Majesty the Emperor on the pretext of being unwell, and then returned to the mansion satisfied—and the first thing he did when he returned home was to sue his concubine. Pack up your things and leave.

"Why?" Obviously, the concubine was unprepared for the prime minister's words: "The Holy Capital hasn't started yet, isn't it too early to leave?"

"It's not early at all, once Cohen appears around the Holy Capital. Kaida's troops, I don't have to look at Lu Man's ugly face again, every time he gets angry, I can't wait to pinch his neck with my own hands!" Although it was a complaint, the prime minister was happy: "Don't tell me, you haven't prepared a place to hide, it's daylight." I don't want to fly in the sky. ”

"Rest assured, the house has been prepared for a long time. The concubine watched the prime minister run around. He kept looking for the things he usually liked, and his heart was even more confused: "Don't you be in a hurry at this time! ”

The prime minister put down what he was holding, and suddenly his expression became a little decadent.

"The bottom line is that I underestimated Cohen. Al Qaeda. After a long time, the prime minister whispered, "Do you remember the last conversation I had with you? I had planned to test him with the well-guarded city of Conson and the 100,000 cavalry. ”

"What about now, what's going on now?" asked the concubine in a whisper.

"The monsters I sent out have come back one after another, and they have reported to me the whole process of fighting on the battlefield. As they described, Cohen. The combat effectiveness of the Kaida army is probably even higher than that of the most elite troops of the Demon Alliance. The prime minister sighed: "Coupled with beautiful tactics and unique command, the army besieging Conson City has not killed a single soldier, but Conson City is in danger. And the 100,000 cavalry were also Cohen. Kaida held his nose and played with a transparent ...... The army on the back of the Maritime Most Holy Capital cut off the rebels' retreat, and if they wanted to flee, they had to flee abroad. The stupid Luman didn't know yet that his daughter had fallen into the hands of Cohen. ”

"That's how it is to fight! Whoever has the highest strategy will win. ”

"You can look at the whole situation at hand, Cohen. Kaida doesn't have to take so many detours at all, with the strength of his army, he can completely drive straight into the army alone. Even if he slaughtered the 100,000 cavalry under the Holy Capital City, Lu Man couldn't help him......" The prime minister showed a wry smile on his face: "It was originally a simple situation, but it was stirred up by him." We were all deluded by Him. ”

"Does he confuse you? Does he know who we are? We don't have any part of it. ”

"He didn't mean to confuse me. The prime minister shook his head and said, "He is confusing his officers in order to achieve the purpose of training the troops." His army is already so powerful, but he still wants to improve the combat effectiveness of his troops again...... And after this battle, the Sbia Empire is in his hands, what is the army so powerful? Tell me what he wants to do?"

"He—he doesn't want to go to war with other empires, does he?" the concubine covered her mouth in surprise: "Who is the target?" "It could be the empires that helped Lu Man in his rebellion, what Riva, Porta, Bansai...... Who knows!"

"How dare he attack the empire of the Divine Alliance?" Hearing this, the concubine was even more surprised: "Can the Protoss let him go?"

"If it's a little rubbing, the Protoss will only appease him......" Speaking of this, the Prime Minister's face changed: "Cohen." Kaida, he doesn't want to attack the Demon Alliance Empire, does he?"

"Isn't he crazy? This is not the time of the Great War of Gods and Demons. The concubine slapped the prime minister on the shoulder: "He definitely doesn't have that guts, what are you thinking!"

"No matter, we don't have to worry about these things anyway. The prime minister stood up: "Let's go!"

"Wait. ”

"What? You don't want to leave?"

"Do you want to use this body to go out? My Prime Minister, who in the Holy Capital doesn't know you?"

"I can finally recover my original body...... I'm so happy. ”

"Your Excellency the Demon General, really, you just borrowed this body, how did you get infected with the bad disease of this body?"

The two of them packed up and disappeared into thin air with their henchmen.

Because of the war, the inventory of the gates of the holy capital was much stricter than usual, and all those who entered had to be checked for three generations of their ancestors and family genealogy before they could be released...... People who "wander" the streets without normal reason have already filled the prisons.

Even with such strength, it has not been able to see any effect except for scaring the people. However, the underground power of the Kaida family is still spreading in the Holy Capital, and it has derived from all urban districts, all strata, and all institutions, forming an invisible net that tightly wraps the Holy Capital.

In order to attack the Holy Capital, Cohen. Al Qaeda mobilized all the intelligence forces in the area around the Holy Capital.

Long before the Kaida family's army moved, the two heavyweights had already entered the Holy Capital and lurked. One is the chief liaison officer of the Kaida family's army, responsible for high-level rebellion, and the other is the largest gang leader in the Sbia Empire, responsible for lower-level rebellion.

In order to coordinate the actions of the two intelligence networks, Marfa and Amaterasu, the two intelligence chiefs, met at a private house just half a block away from the prime minister's residence.

They are all shrewd and capable people, and there is no nonsense when they meet, and even greetings are waived. They spent a whole day dividing a city and a street in the holy capital, as well as plotting against the army, maintaining law and order, protecting food, and destroying and guiding personnel in the early stage of the general attack...... All the affairs are divided in detail, and the last statistics show that the number of intelligence liaison personnel and operational personnel in the Holy Capital City adds up to thousands.

"In this operation, there is only one place where we have not been able to succeed. After the matter was done, Amaterasu said regretfully: "The city defense magic array, they don't want hooligans, and even the ones who deliver food and chores must be magicians." ”

"It's the same on my side, I haven't been able to penetrate several times, and more than 100 highly accomplished magicians have all been protected, and threats are useless. The tired Marfa pressed his finger to his head: "I want to impostor, but the oldest of my men is only thirty-five years old......

"If the city defense magic array is not destroyed, our army will suffer a lot of losses, right?" (To be continued......)
