Chapter 312: The Unexpected Thor's Hammer!
The third war of the regular soldiers of Bran to encircle and suppress the garrison of the Grey Army ended faster than everyone imagined.
In the morning, the Northern Armaments Department.
Before Don Josia received the news, several department bosses here gathered in the conference hall again. Unlike last time, this time there was one more person, a middle-aged officer with a gloomy look and still covered in blood.
The sky was a little gloomy, so although the curtains were opened, the conference hall was still a little gloomy, reflecting the face of the big man who was unable to recline, and it was even deeper.
"Your identity. ”
In the middle of the sound, a big guy in the seat finally broke the deathly silence in the field and asked slowly.
didn't turn his head, didn't look at him, but of course the middle-aged officer knew that it was he who was asking, so he glanced at it apprehensively, saluted a standard military salute, and replied succinctly: "Adjutant General of the Bandit Army." ”
"Where's Beate?"
Beate, that is, the general who was selected by the bigwigs to lead this anti-bandit operation.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and replied stubbornly: "General...... It should have been sacrificed."
A few sudden breathing sounds were immediately soothed. After a few words of dialogue, the scene has a hint of human flavor, but it is still gloomy as water.
"Let's talk about it, how did you lose this time......" A slightly mocking voice came from another big guy.
The middle-aged officer licked his lips and forcibly held back the dryness of his throat and eyes: "Ten days ago, the general led his army into the 100,000 mountains, and encountered many sneak attacks on the way, but they were all resolved, and there was a slight victory during the period......"
"Idiot!" a teacup exploded on the middle-aged officer's shoulder. Hot tea dripped. The blood made the middle-aged officer's body tremble. But he bit his lip. But he didn't dare to let out any cry of pain.
"I don't want to hear you stupid pig singing praises of merit, I just want to know how those 80,000 people were defeated, do you understand?
Hysterical roars echoed over the empty conference room.
"Yes!" The middle-aged officer was excited, straightened up and saluted again, then did not dare to hide it, and quickly said, "Eight days ago. We hit the city of Dawn......"
The words were interrupted again,
"Dawning City?"
"Eight days ago...... Oh, I calculated, even if you ride a horse, it will take two or three days to escape from the 100,000 mountains, and it will take two or three days to get here from there...... Eighty thousand, eighty thousand, after three or four days, the whole army was wiped out? Okay, it's really yours, it's really fucking yours!"
Bang, bang, bang......
After a flurry of words, five or six teacups were thrown over.
I don't care about the pain in my body. The middle-aged officer was a little dumbfounded, and he only said two words. It caused such a big reaction.
"Idiot, what are you doing there, keep talking to me!"
"Yes! uh......" The middle-aged officer was so stunned that he forgot what he had just said, but fortunately, when the remaining big guy reached out to touch the teacup, he suddenly remembered, "Dawning City, Dawning City...... The gray-clad rebels built a city there, called Dawn. The wall is nearly ten zhang high, and the whole body is black rock, which is extremely difficult to climb and break. On the first day of the attack, we fought fiercely with the gray-clad rebels under and off the walls...... Later, when it was close to evening, the general prepared to beat the drums and withdraw his troops and fight again the next day. But then a ...... came out from above the wall."
Speaking of this, the middle-aged officer's body couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes showed a look of horror, "A large city defense crossbow has appeared...... Trebuchet ...... Thunder, Thor's Hammer ......"
"Mjolnir!"
"Mjolnir?"
"How could it be ......"
......
The originally silent conference hall suddenly exploded. All the bigwigs leaned forward, and all kinds of fat heads and big ears poked out of the shadows, and their faces were shocked.
They are all the heads of various departments of the Northern Armaments Department, and naturally they have seen Thor's hammer, and sometimes there are even dozens or hundreds of them every day. But that's what they do, and beyond that, it's impossible for the people to make this extremely delicate and complex Mjolnir's hammer. And even if it is "accidentally" lost to the people from them, it is absolutely contraband, and those who dare to touch it are a dead word.
"Yes, it's Thor's hammer!" Looking at the skeptical gazes of the big guys, the middle-aged officer firmly confirmed, "And there is more than one, there are six in total, and they will be launched in unison, directly defeating us Zuihou with one attack...... Because the general didn't expect this, the big tent of the Chinese army was set up a little forward, and it was collapsed by a bombardment......"
This is the fundamental reason why the bandit army failed so quickly this time, and Beate was personally selected by the bigwigs, so naturally he is not an idle person. Even if it can't compare to the famous generals of the three major legions such as Ralph, it can be regarded as a general who can be called a name. It's a pity that this veteran also stumbled, because he didn't expect that the gray-clothed army would have a weapon with a long range and high lethality, such as Thor's hammer.
Not long after this battle was fought, the commander here turned out to be hanging, and the regular soldiers were naturally in chaos and their morale plummeted. Of course, Oumeng's side did not waste this great opportunity, and did not care about testing the defensive ability of the city wall again, so he directly opened the city gates on the north and south sides, and threw out the troops that had been prepared for a long time. Immediately, I saw that the regular soldiers were indeed defeated, and the middle gate was also wide open, and all the soldiers of the gray-clothed army rushed out quickly, killing the sky and the earth, and the blood flowed like a river......
"At that time, the army was already in chaos, we couldn't find a division commander, and we couldn't find a regiment commander at the division commander level...... Without command, some soldiers began to flee. The Overseer killed a group, and then more soldiers killed them......"
The middle-aged officer's tone gradually lowered, but the words were smashed in the hearts of the bigwigs. No one interrupted, their eyes were a little dull and confused, and such a picture seemed to emerge in front of them: against the rain of arrows overhead, many Bran soldiers threw away their swords with frightened faces, squeezed away their companions behind them and turned to run, taking off the heavy armor on their bodies as they ran...... Behind them, one after another, black shadows wielding snowy butcher knives caught up and slashed at the unguarded back...... Blood is spilled, and the souls of the dead are roaring......
The conference hall was deadly silent, and the middle-aged officer raised his eyes and secretly looked at the big guy on the left, and then looked at the right, then gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "This battle should have been won by us, and the turning point was on the six Thor's hammers." It's the damned, greedy smugglers who killed and wounded 80,000 soldiers. Be sure to find out ...... them."
Bang! Bang!
The chanting was interrupted, and three teacups exploded on the middle-aged officer's body one after another.
If the war is lost, it is natural to find a scapegoat to take responsibility. This middle-aged officer is an adjutant general, and he has an unshirkable responsibility in the first place. Secondly, he is not dead now, so it is easy to be charged with desertion, and if he goes to the military court, he will not be able to escape the result of the gallows. So what he chanted just now was to excuse himself...... But alas, he shouted the wrong content.
You must know that all of you here are the heads of the armament department, and there are countless kinds of defense equipment and equipment in their hands. With such a large treasury, how could they not participate in smuggling? The difference is more or less a matter of less. And Thor's hammer, as a heavy lethal weapon in this, is naturally more valuable, so it is natural to smuggle a few units...... Now this middle-aged officer is shouting and scolding, just like scolding a prostitute at the nightingale, how can the big guys tolerate him?
"The main reason for the defeat of the war was Nabeat's disregard for military common sense. And you, as a deputy general, didn't even give me the slightest reminder? His crime is inescapable, come here, press me to the military justice department!"
The middle-aged officer also knew that he had shouted wrongly, and under the grip of several soldiers, he hurriedly shouted: "My lord, spare your life, spare your life...... My lord...... I'll grass you old mother, you insatiable old fellows, sooner or later, ahhhh......h
The frantic shouting turned into a scream, and then it was barely audible after the door of the conference hall was closed.
Perhaps because of the scolding of the middle-aged deputy general Zuihou, although the face of the big man present did not change, no one spoke out. Silence returned to the chamber once again, and a hint of embarrassment flowed through it.
However, when problems arise, they always have to be solved. After a while, the bigwigs discussed countermeasures again.
At this time, they all had a headache, and the responsibility of this battle was not enough to bring them down, and it was almost the same for the officers who escaped, and at most they would add a few officers who had no foundation in the armaments department.
What they have to worry about is what to do with those gray-clothed people, and what the people in the north are talking about next...... Don't get me wrong, they don't care about the's discussions. But with the failure of the three encirclement and suppression, these remarks will definitely reach the capital, and then face the pressure of accountability from above, how to deal with it?
"I think the root cause is still in the gray-clothed chaos, we should continue to encircle and suppress!"
"It's difficult, 80,000 people have been defeated, how many will you give next time? 100,000...... The key is where these 100,000 soldiers come from? The armament department must not move again, otherwise if the front line needs reinforcements, our side will be very passive. ”
"Then what do you say? There are plenty of soldiers in the north now...... The Four Great Lords?"
"Save it, they even disobey the orders of the capital, will they help us......?
"A little bit of good, right...... This can count as a method, and we'll talk about it in more detail later. ”
"What do you say, what do these gray-clothed people want to do? Why don't we negotiate with the lord and send some troops to guard the main road leading to the outside of the 100,000 mountains. Let them make trouble inside first, and then come and destroy them after the battle on the front line is over, or after the lords are moved!"
"That's a good idea, I think it's okay. ”
"I'm in favor of ......"
......
After some discussion, there was not the slightest constructive suggestion. The bigwigs were also annoyed and decided to adopt the turtle tactic of ignoring them.
But is this really possible?
You know, even if the trees want to be quiet, you have to ask the wind if they say yes...... (To be continued......)
