"Yes, it is possible to double the casualties, and I have thought of all the ways I can think of, and the only way to do so is to use the last resort. Marfa replied in a low voice: "Let's prepare the assault team! In such a critical place, we cannot afford to be prepared without sacrifice." ”

"Okay, I'll take out half of the staff, and I'll take care of the outside. Amaterasu nodded, then stood up, "I'll take my leave first." ”

"We all have to hurry up and implement it. Marfa got up to see off the guests: "Time is too tight, we can only meet again before we act." ”

When Amaterasu walked out of the door, a group of fast horses was galloping towards the palace on the street, and the knights looked anxious and panicked, like their dead father...... Amaterasu and Marfa took a look at each other and broke up.

The horse team went straight to the palace, and the knights led the team rushed directly to the main hall.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation coming from the front. The chamberlain walked into the main hall and reported to the leisurely Majesty: "Will you see you now?"

"Urgent military intelligence?

The knight stumbled in, and fell to his knees with a thud, his chapped lips open.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, something is wrong!" his eyes were filled with despair: "The Holy Capital's communication to the rest of the empire has been cut off by the army of the Kaida family—only the road to the Porta Empire is still in our hands!"

These words were like a violent lightning bolt, which hit Lu Man sitting on the throne very accurately, he was stunned, his body immediately bounced up from the throne, rushed over a few steps and grabbed the knight's collar, and roared: "What did you say!?"

"It's the cavalry of the Al Qeda family, who came from the sea and cut off the Holy Capital from the rest of the Empire. Our governors and lords have spies to answer them......" The knight kneeling on the ground raised his panicked eyes: "The horse team of Her Royal Highness the Second Princess...... Also missing. ”

Luman's fingers loosened weakly. The muscles in his face twitched. His face also turned pale.

The hall was silent, except for the nervous breathing of the ministers. They don't know what to do, although the news is very surprising, but they are even more afraid of the "majesty" in front of them who is about to fall into a state of madness.

Lu Man's body shook slightly, then he forcibly held back, slowly turned around, and walked back to the throne to sit down. He closed his eyes in thought, tucking his trembling hands into his sleeves.

No one dared to speak out. For fear of alarming Lu Man, he is even more afraid that Lu Man will use himself as a punching bag.

After a long time, Lu Man's eyes opened, and he was scanning his subordinates with a gaze full of "majesty".

"Order, close the Holy Capital, set up defenses. Lu Man said in a very strange tone: "Contact all the armies that can be contacted, and order them to move closer to the Holy Capital—what about the Prime Minister?"

"The prime minister went home in the morning, and he should be in the mansion now. ”

"Let him come here right away and have a meeting!" Lu Man stared at the ceiling: "You guys go out, let me be quiet!"

It's been a whole day since rebel reinforcements were blocked in front of their positions.

In attack after attack. Tens of thousands of rebel troops were buried in the positions of the Al Qeda army, and the blood of the rebel soldiers flowed throughout the positions. It became a lubricant to speed up the run-in of new and old soldiers of the Third Army. The entire command process of the idiot commander of the rebel army also became a typical negative teaching material for the imperial military academy in the future.

And the first principal and instructor of this imperial military academy was the emperor who was now sitting in the headquarters, holding a red wine in one hand and a whip in the other. Al Qaeda.

Cohen divided the officers in the command headquarters into three parts, and took turns to practice in the process of high-level command, logistics command, and front-line command.

The movement of front-line troops was also very frequent, trying to expose each unit to more and more complex battles, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to give up one opportunity after another to destroy the enemy, and also gave time for the rebels to continue to organize the offensive.

After a day of fighting, the senior officers of the Third Legion had understood the Emperor's intentions, and they cooperated with Cohen's plan with a positive attitude.

At the same time, in order to ensure that the rebels do not play any tricks, the elite wingman troops and cavalry units have entered the assault position, ready to attack at any time to end this "training".

It's just that this kind of training suffers those recruits who have not been in the army for a long time.

Although the recruits have also been trained before, it was in the training ground, some people taught, some people corrected, they made mistakes and were scolded, they were slapped in the face, and they had the opportunity to start over.

But this is a real battle, and if you make a mistake, you will close your eyes forever, and the most of the year will be remembered by your companions on the holidays.

In the first battle, the recruits are very nervous, and some of the actions that are done well in training will also make mistakes.

This is also the meaning and purpose of this campaign launched by His Majesty Cohen - instead of paying a high price to train in the future high-intensity war, it is better to gain experience in this kind of rookie unit first, at least so that the soldiers can get used to the atmosphere of war.

In previous wars, because of the peculiarity of the origin of soldiers, His Majesty Cohen never bothered about such things.

However, most of the recruits recruited this time were honest peasant children, not slaves whose lives were hanging by a thread, nor were they children of the 36 tribes who were displaced, and most of them had never seen a scene of murder at all.

While inspecting the positions after eliminating the rebel vanguards, Korn saw a large number of lost recruits, some squatting on the ground shivering, others leaning against the wall and vomiting......

This was also the fundamental reason why he later accepted Brigadier General Moya's request for his command.

If you want to tremble, you should shake enough in this battle, and if you want to vomit, you will vomit in this battle.

In order to achieve this goal, His Majesty Cohen brought in the Second Legion, which had disappeared for many days, and the Second Legion, under the leadership of the deputy commander, made a large bend in the marching route, appearing between the Holy Capital and the position of the Third Legion, and they first ate the rearguard of the rebels in one bite, and then sealed off the retreat of the rebels to flee.

In fact, as early as that afternoon, the commander of the rebels, the lieutenant general, had learned that the back road had been blocked. After "a series of ideological struggles", His Excellency the Lieutenant General sent someone to negotiate surrender. But without even seeing him, His Majesty ordered the head of the rebel messenger to be cut off...... Let this rebel army surrender, where can you find such a competent target force?

As night fell, the battle came to an end. There are sporadic bonfires on the rebel side. It was pitch black on this side of the Kaida family's position.

His Majesty Cohen had dinner. First, a meeting of officers was convened to arrange the night defense. Then just sit in a daze. Commodore Mo came twice, but when he saw Cohen's thoughtful expression, he didn't dare to come forward to disturb.

When Mo Ya came for the third time, it was almost dawn, and His Majesty the Emperor finally spoke.

"Moya, have the rebel casualties been counted? Cohen looked at him, "They attacked again?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, they launched a night attack. According to our statistics. By now, more than half of the rebel casualties have been lost. Moya walked up behind Cohen, "They also broke through backwards, but the Second Legion blocked their retreat. ”

"After dawn, you took over the command and informed the chief of the General Staff to report here. Cohen stood up, went to the window and took a deep breath, "You end the fight today and clear the passage again." ”

"Are you heading for the Holy Capital?" Moya asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's not a way to drag on like this, anyway, I've practiced what I should have practiced. Cohen nodded: "As long as there is a war, things pile up, and I almost forget a few very important things." ”

"If I can, please let me do it!"

"What are you thinking? It's all my personal matter. Cohen smiled faintly, "Take care of your troops!" Once in the Holy Capital. We're going to have to take charge of the Empire. ”

"Your Majesty, are you worrying about the empire in the future?"

"I'm not a monster. Of course, there will be a lot of nerve-wracking things, and being an emperor is such a hard errand, and it is no wonder that Fischette is reluctant to take on it. Cohen smiled bitterly and walked to the table and picked up his glass: "I said Moya, what would you do if I became an outlaw madman?"

Mo Ya shook his head: "You won't, Your Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Am I not on the path of a madman?" Cohen smiled self-deprecatingly, sipping red wine. ”

"Even if Your Majesty becomes a madman, you are still my boss. Mo Ya replied expressionlessly: "I may leave when my relatives are healthy, but when my relatives need me, I will definitely guard my relatives." ”

Cohen turned around and stared at the burly man with curious eyes, which Moya accepted with ease.

"It's the first time I've heard you say anything like that, when did you learn it?" Cohen asked, "Is it poetry?"

"No, I heard it was my mother who said that. Actually, my mother passed away at a very early age, and I only heard my father talk about it a few times. Moya's gaze lowered: "I can't remember her face, it's the only memory I have of her." ”

"Are you homesick?" Cohen nodded in relief, "...... is your hometown?"

"In the Riva Empire, close to the Bansai Empire—I don't want that place at all. ”

"That's far enough......" Cohen walked over, leaned into Moya's ear and said something, then patted him on the shoulder and walked out laughing.

Brigadier General Moya was dumbfounded, and the helmet he was holding in his hand also fell off, rolling all the way to the corner.

"Ahh If you speak with a blank face, you will be regarded as a murderer. Cohen turned back and leaned against the doorframe: "After this battle, go back and see your brother! ”

Brigadier General Mo Ya didn't say anything, just nodded.

After dawn, the poor rebel troops made a final struggle for their own survival. The sound of killing on the battlefield shook the sky, but His Majesty the Emperor slept peacefully in the noisy environment.

When the General Staff Officer received the order to arrive, there was no fighting at the front of the position, but there were scattered rebel units running over to surrender, and judging from what these people had revealed, the rebel headquarters was already in chaos.

Some of the rebel units did their job in order to surrender Cohen, and they wanted to assassinate the future to please Cohen's Majesty...... After the assassination failed, the remnants of the rebel forces mutinied, and many soldiers abandoned their horses and fled into the mountains on both sides of the plain. Now only a few troops remained near the headquarters, and the lieutenant general was seriously wounded.

"In that case, there is no need to continue this battle. Letting the White Shadow dress himself, Cohen instructed Moya through the screen: "Accept their surrender and give you two hours to clean up the mess." We will be heading to the Holy Capital this evening. ”

After Brigadier General Moya left. The General Staff Officer asked, "Your Majesty." What about the battle over there in Conson?"

"Are they willing to surrender?"

"Yes. ”

"Yes, too. Cohen thought about it for a moment: "Then inform the military judge that all the civil and military officials of Conson City will be executed for insulting the royal family." ”

"All?" Carlos was a little surprised: "Is it necessary to leave some of the officials who surrendered to death, it will have a bad impact on His Majesty's reputation." ”

"What color is the jewel in the crown? It's red, as bright as blood...... Only such a color can set off the majesty of royal power. Cohen chuckled, "Carlos, we still have a lot of provinces to take! Do you think they'll willingly obey me? I'm just going to show them, I'm Cohen." Kaida is not satisfied with this virtue and leaves early. ”

"But ......"

"No problem, the officials who surrendered elsewhere didn't treat them well. We're just differentiating. Cohen glanced at the white shadow who was arranging his clothes: "If it weren't for the white shadow here, I would have asked you to kill the soldiers who surrendered." ”

Even the unfathomable white shadow didn't glare at him angrily at this time.

"Don't stare at me, it's not me who wants to be emperor. In the face of Bai Ying's silent condemnation, Cohen smiled: "In fact, among so many people, I am the most innocent. ”

"陛xià. Carlos coughed dryly: "I still seem to be here......"

"I know you're here, what's wrong?"

"Boss......" Cohen's words made Carlos laugh and cry: "It seems like you should have sent me away before you laughed with the lady." ”

"I said, Carlos, are you itching after a long time? Be careful that the White Shadow catches you up in the sky and then throws you down. Cohen stepped out from behind the screen and gestured to a chair next to him for Carlos to sit down, "Let's talk about it first." If White Shadow really wants to do that, I won't stop it. ”

"Boss!" Carlos whispered, "You say something like that." But it's going to chill me. I'm a subordinate who followed you from birth to death, crawling out of the pile of dead!"

"When am I going to take you over the pile of dead people?" Cohen replied with a smile, "White Shadow and Fischet, I met together." ”

"Here we go again......" Carlos said with a sad face: "It's also a sin to know late." ”

"By the way, you'd rather be teased by me than quit, there should be something, right?" After laughing, Cohen asked, "Say!"

"I'm a little confused about this series of battles planned by His Majesty, so I wanted to ask. ”

"Actually, there is no reason, I just want to separate the training of several units. All along, the three legions have their own strengths, and I want them to attack and defend, and defend and attack. Cohen sighed, "But it turns out that my plan didn't work very well. ”

"What's wrong?"

"On the one hand, the rebels are not strong enough, and on the other hand, our recruits are not strong enough. In addition, there are many flaws exposed by each branch. Cohen's brows furrowed: "It seems that we still have to plan for the establishment of regular military academies as soon as possible and conduct formal training." ”

"Your Majesty, our army is already very strong in combat. I have a fair assessment, our army can fight against any army on the mainland. As an officer of the General Staff, Carlos did not understand Cohen's words very well.

"Strong, huh? You'll go into the camp and see the recruits! You're right, our troops do have enough to defeat the rebels, but that's not enough, and their combat effectiveness is not up to my requirements. Cohen waved his hand: "I haven't slept much these days, and I'm thinking about the reform of the army." ”

Carlos opened his mouth wide and cried out in a lost voice: "Army change?!"

"Why are you so surprised?" Cohen stood up: "If we want to achieve my strategic goals, how many troops do we have to raise with our current combat strength? ”

"That'...... Where are we changing?"

"All branches of the military have to change, from the recruitment and training of soldiers to logistics and so on. Cohen looked at Carlos in astonishment: "And most importantly, the nation's military must be in the hands of the top management. The provinces and the nobility are not allowed to have armies, which are used to fight wars and fight for me. ”

"What about the maintenance of law and order in peacetime?"

"Day-to-day policing is a matter of the internal affairs system. Cohen approached his chief of staff: "My initial plan is to establish theater headquarters in several directions of the empire, and unify the command and dispatch of the troops under its jurisdiction. ”

"You've got to make me think about it...... I couldn't turn my head again. Carlos shook his pitiful head: "I'm still thinking about what is in front of me, but you have been thinking about it for many years...... Is this the difference between the General Staff and the Emperor?"

"I'm still thinking about it, you just need to know about it, but you have to be mentally prepared for this. But on the other hand, I've been very rewarding. Cohen smiled slightly, and threw a large stack of official documents on several cases: "My general staff, look at the table of senior officers!"

"This is...... Documents against His Majesty's use of military strategy?" Carlos flipped through the official documents: "All of them?"

"I deliberately made the battle chaotic, originally intending to train the soldiers, but later, almost every officer at the rank of wing commander wrote me an official letter, pointing out many inappropriate points in my tactics and proposing his own plan. Cohen said in a reassuring tone, "I'm very happy! Just the courage to say what I built makes me happy. ”

"This shows that our officers are gradually maturing, and with proper training, they should be able to take charge on their own, right?"

"After quelling the rebellion, I will expand my army. Cohen whispered, "The leader is made from among these people, and of course, if they want to be independent, they need to learn more." ”

"I now understand that the ultimate goal of this strange battle is to discover talent. Carlos nodded with relief: "How large?"

"I'm still thinking about scale, and you can think about it too. ”

"I said, sir, now that I think about it, your arrangements are strict, but I don't know anything about the movement of troops including the Second Army, what is this?" Karos said very dissatisfied: "I am your general staff, but I ended up and down like a fool, worried about this, worried about that, and uneasy......"

"Carlos, you are a very steady person, if you don't jump up and down nervously, do you think I can receive these official documents?" Cohen smiled maliciously, "Under Lisan City, from the time I received the first official letter, I decided that even you should hide it. ”

"I'm going to the prince to complain...... You're fooling me. ”

"Whatever you sue, you should consider this time to sacrifice your life for the country. Cohen patted Carlos on the shoulder: "Go out for a walk with me, and help you clear your head by the way." ”

"Ahh......h
