Chapter 317: Luo Sha's Decision
"What do they want to do?"
After the 80,000 troops of the Gray-clothed Army stopped fifty kilometers away from the cities around the 100,000 Great Mountain, everyone felt inexplicable.
The bigwigs of the Northern Armament Department are even more confused, after three battles and three victories, the other party is now in full swing, whether they admit it or not, the 30,000 regular soldiers who arrived in a hurry can't stop them at all. After that, if the opponent turns a few more times, it is also very possible to break through the exhausted defense line here.
But just at this moment, the other party stopped camping......
But I don't care about thinking about what intrigues and tricks there are, all the bigwigs breathe a sigh of relief, no matter what, the other party's pause means that they can't enter the city for the time being. In this way, the pressure on the front line is undoubtedly much smaller.
While rejoicing in this result, the side frantically mobilized troops, until almost sixty or seventy thousand regular soldiers were transferred, and the two sides were almost equal in numbers, and the big stones in the hearts of the big guys really landed.
Among them, the Gray Clothes Army did not move anything except for continuing to consolidate the fortifications and spilling scouts to circle the battle line.
If the gray-clothed army does not attack, of course the regular soldiers will not cause trouble, and they will not even shout and scold in battle, so they will honestly block the front.
This result is inevitable, the strange situation on the side of the gray army, the armament department is not clear, but they all know that the soldiers blocking the road at the moment are all front-line reserves, and it is of course the best if they can not lose them.
As a result, in this barren mountain range, nearly 200,000 soldiers formed a strange confrontation several miles apart. Undercurrent Undercurrent ......
......
In the afternoon, Stan City.
"Don. Aunt Losha, what do they want to do?" put down the latest information in his hand. Josia frowned. Ask the same doubts as the bigwigs of the Armaments Department.
Shaking his head, Don En pinched his chin: "I don't know, there is too little information for analysis." ”
Both Don and Josia have been away from the station for a while, and because of those three encirclements, the two sides are completely closed and cannot deliver news at all. So. Naturally, I don't know what's going on.
Josia also knew this, and this question was completely subconsciously asked, and then she put her chin in her hands, squinted and smiled: "Hehe, but no matter what, Tang, I feel that we are getting closer and closer to success this time." ”
Tang En didn't deny it, nodded and sighed, "Thank you for this wonderful time...... Or thank you to the wild tribes. ”
"Ha, yes, thanks to the Savage Tribes. Josia stuck out her tongue and laughed.
It's clear to all. If it weren't for the Savage Horde launching this rare big attack. The 80,000 men of the Grey Army will not be taken seriously by the Bran Empire at all, even if the Armaments Department can't handle it. If you are in a hurry, you can transfer back tens of thousands of people from the three major army corps on the front line, and you can properly settle the gray-clothed army.
Then the two chatted casually, in fact, Josia was basically saying that she was looking forward to the situation of the gray army entering the city, and Tang En's interest was not too high, so he put on a white-rimmed four-cornered top hat and prepared to go out.
"Which nobleman's party are you attending this time?" Josia was from a noble background, so he naturally knew that such a costume was used when attending a party. The ten people she sent over had been training with Don for nearly a month, and now was the time to put it into practice.
"Ha, Baron Sheridon in the city has a new horse, so he started this party. "Of course, this is the ostensible reason, but in fact he wants to have a tryst with the wife of a wealthy merchant...... Ha, you aristocratic circles like to do this kind of favorite thing. Well, are you going?"
"Forget it, I'm not going...... Well, let's bring back a few desserts, I haven't eaten them for a long time, and I miss the taste a little. With a wave of his hand, it was a special period, and Josia had a lot of things to deal with here, so it was naturally impossible to participate in such a boring party.
"It's not that I don't have money, my current identity is a foreign nobleman, and I'm also a decent person, stealing desserts is ......" Tang En smoothed the gorgeous robe on his body, relaxed his body and raised his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
After a few movements, Josia's eyes lit up, and of course she was familiar with this standard aristocratic posture that seemed elegant and intimate, but also had a kind of arrogance and indifference.
However, this image collapsed as Don spread his hands and showed his usual evil smile: "Okay, it's quite interesting to do it occasionally." Well, wait, watch me come back from sweeping the table desserts. ”
With a generous wave of his hand, he walked out of the house with ambitious steps. Those who don't know think that this nobleman is going to negotiate a big business.
"Hehe......" Such a gap caused Josia behind him to cover his mouth and chuckle.
Walking through the hall in front of the house, Don slowed his footsteps, squinted his eyes, and exhaled slightly as he looked at the bleak sun outside the crack in the eaves...... In fact, when answering Josia's question just now, Don had a conjecture in his heart, but in the end he didn't say it for some reason.
Don remembers that when he first joined, he had heard Josia talk about the purpose of the Gray Army. The content of these purposes is quite practical, especially for the low-level civilians. But a closer look reveals that none of these purposes addresses a key issue. For example, one of them is the participation of civilians in the political power...... Whose is the regime? Bran's, of course.
In this way, it is not difficult to understand the current behavior of the gray army. Luo Sha led the Gray Army for more than ten years, taking the path of rebellion. But Don could tell from her usual words and deeds that Losha had no intention of overthrowing the Bran Empire. The purpose of driving the army out now should be to use this opportunity to force Bran to negotiate and finally achieve the content of the previous purpose.
Tang En has reservations about this point, he comes from the present world, and he has seen too much of this kind of "Zhao'an" history, and Zuihou has no good results.
Of course, to say that Losha's decision is wrong now is not necessarily true.
After all, the history of the other world is different from the history of the present world, and the different and general ones are put into it. Moreover, the Bran Empire seems to be too large, and although the Grey Army is developing well now, it is still not comparable to this behemoth. In normal times, no one would be optimistic that the Gray Coats Army would be able to compete. But now this behemoth has encountered a fierce enemy, and the Gray Army has taken the opportunity to attack. Undoubtedly, it was a good time...... No matter how you look at it. Losha's decisions were all correct.
Call...... Shook his head. Don dissipated the thoughts in his head. Right or wrong, let's see the result. Moreover, these have little to do with me......
......
At night, 100,000 mountains, the temporary garrison of the Gray Army.
Chinese army tent, candle flame flickering.
"Chief, the opportunity is now in our favor, we can't let it go!"
"Yes. Know the ...... advantage"
"This is a tiger skin, once it backstabs, the consequences will be serious!"
"Yes, I understand......
"Chief, think about it a little more. ”
"Haode, I'll think about it......"
Luo Sha smiled calmly and sent several ministers out, but the faces of those people were not so relaxed, some wanted to stop talking, some frowned, and some were worried.
Obviously. The conversation between the two sides had not been very pleasant, but Losha's authority in the Grey Army was still very strong. In the end, they didn't say anything more, and after a few sighs, they saluted and left.
Watching a few people disappear, the smile on Luo Sha's face slowly disappeared, pursed his lips, raised his head and exhaled to the oncoming mountain wind, and finally clenched his fist and reflexively opened the door curtain.
"Chief!"
Losha turned his head and saw Oumeng walking quickly in the darkness, dressed in military uniform.
"Old Marshal Omun...... Well, come in and talk. Lifting the curtain, Losha walked in first.
The tent was simple, with makeshift tables, benches and an oil lamp. Oh, and Zofan in the shadows of the corner, but he never had a presence.
As soon as Omon entered the tent, he immediately bowed down and said, "Chief, the previous chaotic investigation is clear. It was a few officers who had drunk that had a dispute, and some of his own soldiers joined, well, they didn't use their knives, and now they are all tied up. It is my incompetence, please punish the chief. ”
"The old marshal is serious, but it's just a quarrel of words, where is the punishment. Losha picked up Omon and asked casually, "Is it about entering the city?"
"Yes, yes!" replied Omon after a moment's hesitation.
"That's it again...... It seems that I, the leader, are standing opposite everyone this time. Shaking his head slightly, Losha's face was slightly gloomy.
"No, they don't understand the hard work of the chief. ”
"Old marshal, sit. Losha smiled bitterly noncommittally, stretched out his hand, and sat back down on the bench.
After a little silence, Luo Sha spoke: "Actually, they are not bad, the battle on the front line is fierce, and if we are in trouble on our side, we should be able to capture a few cities." If the situation is haode, maybe he can fight Bran against him. But...... Old Marshal Oumeng, you are invited by me, before joining the Gray Army, we once fought a city. ”
Omon nodded, "I've heard about this. ”
"yes, everybody knows about it. The city was shattered, the leader was killed, and only more than a thousand remnants of the army rushed out. At that time, the situation in the city was rarely mentioned, and the old people at that time were almost sacrificed by now...... I know that when I entered the city on the first day of the new year, there was control, and the leaders also told them not to disturb the people. So the gray-clothed soldiers rushed into the nobles and wealthy merchants, killed the original owner, robbed the gold and silver treasures, and abused the women...... Unable to stop it, some of the chief's relatives and descendants also joined. But there are so many things, and those with more power grab more, and those with less power grab less. Those ordinary soldiers and civilians had nothing and began to break into the homes of the city...... At that time, he also killed some arbitrary people, but it was too late, and it caused conflicts, and the soldiers began to fight with each other......"
"It's miserable, it's messy...... In fact, even if the army did not come later, we were already on the verge of collapse at that time. Maybe that's what Don said about the limitations of civilians! It's not easy for the Grey Army to get to where it is now, and I don't know if this will happen if our army goes in...... I don't dare bet. To be honest, I don't know if the decision to fight with the tiger is the right one now, old marshal, I don't want to repeat the same mistakes......"
Ou Meng was silent for a while, got up, and saluted: "Rest assured, Chief, no matter what decision you make, I and the army will always be on your side!"
It's an extremely heavy commitment, and Omon is qualified to make it. Among the soldiers of the Grey Army, the old marshal has a pivotal position.
Luo Sha was not surprised, nodded slightly, and then shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "My decision may not be right...... Hehe, if Don was here, he would always be able to see farther than me. ”
Ommon chuckled and nodded, "Haha, that kid has a bit of a strange idea. Well, after the previous division of troops, coupled with the assistance of the gray space, the messenger should have rushed out, and then I hope that he can get things done with Josia. ”
"Both of them...... Yes, no problem. ”
