Chapter 594: 'The Common People'
"Ed!" Hearing Li Zijun's question, White immediately showed an embarrassed expression.
"You don't have to explain it to him, you just have to tell me: yes or no?"
"Yes!" Although White's relationship with Fred was not bad, Li Zijun was his brother-in-law after all. In such a matter, he naturally would not deceive Li Zijun!
"I understand, go down and prepare!" Hearing White's answer, Li Zijun's eyes darkened, and he lowered his head and waved his hand to White.
White originally wanted to persuade Li Zijun a few words, but after seeing Li Zijun's expression at the moment, he hesitated for a while, sighed softly, and walked away.
"Ed!"
"I'm fine!"
"How's your condition? I've blown all the cattle out, and you can't let me fall behind them when I run for a while!" Li Zijun seemed to figure it out in an instant, and the gloom on his face was swept away, replaced by an extremely confident smile.
Just as Li Zijun was about to leave, Higgins and others, who were hurrying back to Filano City, received information from White.
"The south is really not the focus of the Great Prince's attack! This time Fred guessed correctly!" Higgins originally admired Fred very much, and after learning the content of the intelligence, he couldn't help but admire Fred a little more.
"What if you guess it? If it weren't for this information sent by White, he still wouldn't know where the focus of the eldest prince's attack was!" Because of Li Zijun's matter, Clemens has been extremely dissatisfied with Fred recently, and under the blindness, Fred's appearance has become worthless in his eyes at this moment!
"Clemens. Complain less, no one will take you for a dumb person!"
"General Higgins, Clemens has never been a good talker. Please don't be surprised, general?" Clemens said unintentionally, but Trollope knew that his words were equivalent to offending two people at once.
As it stands. Both Fred and Higgins were becoming more and more important to Virgin. Trollope didn't want Clemens to cause endless trouble for himself just because of the momentary pleasure, so he hurriedly explained and apologized to Higgins on Clemens' behalf.
"Soldiers, you should go straight to the point, don't worry, general, I understand!" Higgins was respectful of this group of princelings, and he also knew very well that Clemens's complaints were not directed at himself. At this time, he was more willing to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"General, what should we do next?"
Since the rebels have chosen the west as their main direction of attack, and with their habit of commanding and managing, it must be heavily guarded and heavily guarded. ”
"Although our people have been able to pose a certain threat to them in the past, I am afraid that it may not have a very good effect on the overall battle situation. Rather than that, we should unite our forces and concentrate on the rebels to the south. As long as Shun Lì gets rid of them, the pressure on the west side will be reduced accordingly. ”
"Of course, this is just my personal opinion, I don't know the two generals?" actually. Higgins's statement was Fred's plan, but he saw that Clemens and Trollope were dissatisfied with Fred at the moment, so he deliberately withheld Fred's name.
"One qiē obey the general's command!" the two are not fools. They understood that what Higgins said was in fact an order, and they naturally had no objection to it. Immediately made it clear to Higgins that they were absolutely obedient.
Unlike the forces outside the city, which were still in the preparatory stage, the team led by Monroe had already engaged in an all-out battle with the city defenses of Firano. At this time, his headquarters also moved from outside the city to the gate tower at the south gate.
"How is the battle going in the city? Is there anything out of the ordinary?" As soon as the headquarters was set up, and before Monroe even had time to drink a sip of water, he summoned the general in charge of gathering intelligence to the front and asked him about the situation in the battle ahead.
"Lord Huiyu: The battle is going very smoothly, and during the time we have moved the headquarters, our vanguard has arrived at Xiangli Street!"
"So fast?" Monroe didn't expect his team to advance so quickly, and he couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
It's no wonder that Monroe is so amazed, Xiangli Street is only five or six intersections away from Dongyu Palace. If they can continue to advance according to this offensive momentum, I believe that it will not be long before they can rush under the outer walls of the palace and pose a direct threat there!
"Your Excellency, you don't know yet! The city was largely unprepared for our surprise attack, and the bewildered city defenders almost all fled from us. Although they also set up a few temporary fortifications at some intersections, these hastily erected fortifications did not work as well as they should, and we only made a few random shocks to get there. ”
"If there are no major accidents, we will talk about this, and they will have rushed outside the palace as much as possible!"
"My lord, I'm afraid we're going to take the lead this time!"
"Rushing so fast, there won't be any problems, right?" Monroe usually looked a little flamboyant, but in fact, he was definitely an extremely cautious elder. Until the battle situation is completely clear, he will not be as optimistic as this guy in front of him. The unusually smooth flow of the war not only did not make him relax in the slightest, but made all his nerves tense involuntarily!
"Your Excellency, rest assured, we have strengthened our defenses at every possible attack, as you have ordered. Not only that, but we've increased the scope of our reconnaissance, but so far, none of these places have been abnormal. ”
"Now it seems that we overestimated their capabilities before, and they were not prepared for this attack at all!"
"Don't be blindly optimistic! His Majesty Virgil is the master of Zhongxing in my Dongyu, as long as he still has a breath of air, as long as he can still have a moment of sobriety, he will never be ignorant of the possible threats around him!"
"Just because he doesn't show up doesn't mean he doesn't, and that's actually what I'm most worried about at the moment! If he's getting ready to go, then our next battle will be extremely difficult!"
"Tell every general in charge of the command at the front of me in full with my words, and don't be careless!"
"Yes!" the guy replied cleanly, but Monroe could tell that the kid wasn't listening to his own words at all.
Hey, this scene caused Monroe to sigh secretly. He didn't approve of the eldest prince launching a coup d'état at this time, but it was because of the encouragement of this group of guys that the eldest prince embarked on this road 'without hesitation'.
At this time, it is too late to say anything, Monroe only hopes that the qiē in front of him can continue smoothly and without any trouble!
"Any news from little Monroe?"
"Not yet! I have already sent more people to contact him, General Monroe Jr. should still be in ambush in Hailar County, I believe it won't be long before good news comes back from his side!"
"I hope so!" Monroe, who knew his son very well, suddenly felt a sinking in his heart after hearing the report of the person in front of him!
Little Monroe is very similar to him, he looks perverse and domineering on the outside, but secretly he is very steady! At such a critical moment, even if he hadn't waited for Higgins, he should have sent someone back to report the situation.
Thinking of this, Monroe suddenly felt an inexplicable heartache, and his rosy cheeks turned a miserable white.
"Are you alright, sir?"
"No" Before Monroe could say the word 'matter', a rush of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door:
"Report!"
"Come in!" Seeing the herald who hurried in, Monroe's expression suddenly returned to normal.
"Tell your Excellency: As soon as our vanguard left Xiangli Street, it was frantically blocked by the other side! The opponent's combat effectiveness was extremely strong, and the momentum of our attack was immediately contained after they appeared. ”
"General Beckett is worried that the other side will soon launch a counterattack, so he sent me back to ask for my lordship to send troops to support!"
"Report!" Before the last herald could speak, a herald's voice came from outside the door.
"Come in!"
"Don't worry, take your time, what's going on up ahead?"
"Hui Yu, my lord: along the streets under our control, a large number of civilians with weapons suddenly rushed out, and they launched a strong attack on the defenders of our intersections in droves! Our ranks have been cut into countless small pieces, and the generals are organizing a counter-attack, but these civilians are surprisingly strong in combat, and our soldiers have not taken any advantage in the process of fighting them!"
"What kind of people? How can people with such strong fighting power be ordinary people? They are not forbidden troops, they must be royal guards!"
"Didn't I remind you again and again that you have to reconnoiter the situation around each intersection! Make sure that there are no idle people around! Be sure to ensure the absolute safety of every intersection! What the fuck did you listen to at the time?!" Before he could finish the report, the intelligence officer beside Monroe could no longer sit still, and he rushed to the herald who entered the door later, and hissed and corrected his mistake.
"What's there to worry about?!Don't forget our mission, isn't that what we've always wanted to see!" Monroe's reprimand instantly reminded the intelligence officer of his identity, and he immediately stepped aside with a look of shame.
"Don't worry, go on!" Monroe seemed to have anticipated the current chaos, and he appeared unusually calm, not even the slightest change in the speed of his speech. (To be continued......)
