Chapter 831: Persuade Barlow
PS: Bow down and thank the book friend for the reward of "Shadow Sniper"~!
(PS: There is a power outage in my hometown, and the code words are not smooth.) However, the tanuki has a good character and does what it says. ^-^ praise me, praise me, praise me, praise me...... )
A few days later, the arrival of people from the front line did not affect the offensive of the Gray Army, the two cities of Hanshui and Kusai were lost, and within a radius of 100 miles, the Bran army had no danger to defend, so they could only watch the Gray Army attack on multiple fronts, expanding the results like entering no man's land, sighing helplessly.
At this time, whether you admit it or not, the Gray Army has indeed become a big problem for Bran. This scourge is not only in terms of impact, but also in terms of military geography.
The 100,000 mountains are already close to the Bran front, and if this area is lost and the Grey Army is allowed to attack on the fourth front, Bran's connection with the border front line will be cut off. Leaving aside the issue of supplies and other issues, it is unknown whether the isolated border line can withstand the attack of the northern barbarians.
This is not sensational, the Grey Army does not know, but the Bran military is extremely aware of the old opponent in the north, and it has not been peaceful lately......
Of course, this has nothing to do with Donn, who hangs out in the war zone. Originally, according to the itinerary, they should have arrived at the combat unit and Frey round, but for some reason, Don did not rush to contact Frey, but continued to float aimlessly with Josia, teasing the assassins who came up to find death from time to time, which can be described as leisurely.
In the afternoon, on the official road, in the slow-moving carriage.
"So, you mean to persuade Barlow? Are you sure?" After watching Donn's mysterious behavior for a few days, Josia finally couldn't help but be curious in his heart, and blocked Donn, who was going out with a letter. Ask why.
And after knowing Donn's intentions. Josia was immediately excited. The morale of the Grey Army is high today. With the purple-chested cannon in hand, it can be described as invincible, and it seems that there are no flaws. But Josia, as the leader, knows very well that this is just a superficial phenomenon, in fact, the army of the gray army is flawed, and it is not small, that is, there is a lack of officers and generals at all levels with professional qualities.
In fact, this problem has always existed, and it is difficult to improve, and if the sentence is big and inappropriate, it is the limitation of civilian rebellion. There are some things that can be very uncomfortable to say though. But it is true that the rich nobles who have received professional education are much more knowledgeable than the poor commoners, and most of them are much higher.
The main body of the Grey Army is civilians, which determines that they have a strong ambition to rebel, but at the same time, they also lack the necessary conditions, such as senior generals with mature military literacy, especially after being stabbed in the back by Bran a few years ago, many officers who have been trained with great difficulty died on the front line, which also makes the situation of the Grey Army even more difficult.
It was precisely because of this that Josia was overjoyed to hear that he might get a fierce general. I couldn't wait to ask about the possibility of success.
"Stupid, you'll have to try it to find out. He tapped the tip of Josia's nose. Tang En raised the letter in his hand, "This is a letter to Brother Frey, with their decades of friendship, the success rate of letting him come forward should be much higher." ”
"That's it? What about the rest? wouldn't it be better if I showed my attitude again?"
Don shook his head: "I've already sent Harry and them to do the rest of the preparations, you are not suitable to come forward now, it may be too much...... Well, it's not too late for you to come forward when Barlow actually comes to the Grey Army. ”
"Oh. Josia also knew that she was anxious, she had no friendship with Barlow, and if she came forward, Barlow would inevitably feel betrayed. But Frey and they are different, they can be persuaded through friendship, so that the psychological feeling will be much better.
"Then what are you waiting for, send a letter to Brother Frey now. With this figured out, Josia began to urge enthusiastically again. Don reluctantly pointed to the car door behind Josia, "Just as you want to do it, you have to let me go out and ask someone to deliver the letter first." ”
Josia stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and exited the carriage. It's not far from Frey, and if they're quick to get an answer tomorrow morning, they don't need David to deliver the letter. In the end, Victor found two clever guards and prepared a few good horses to set off immediately.
After the arrangements were made, Don asked casually, "By the way, Brother Victor, where are we now?"
"Mr. Nelaubang, at our current pace, another hour will be upon arrival in the city of Pia in the evening. Changing his disapproving attitude a few days ago, Victor replied politely when he heard this.
"Pia City, oh, it's a small town, isn't it? ”
“...... Yes, sir. Victor seemed to want to say something, but looking at Don and Josia who turned away, he didn't say anything in the end.
The city of Pia is indeed an unknown small city, but its geographical location is very close to the front line of operations, and there are certain safety risks. If it had been before, Victor would have strongly discouraged camping there. But now...... Not to mention whether the constantly routing Bran army can pass through the war zone, even if it does, there shouldn't be any problems with this master here......
That's right, after Josia's intentional or unintentional reminder a few days ago, Victor had already guessed the identities of Don and David. Needless to say, the shock was not to mention, since then, Victor was greatly relieved, while letting go of the entanglement in his heart with relief, it is not a shame to lose in the hands of the legendary gray space. While no longer worrying about Josia's safety, Don said whatever he wanted, and just did it......
......
In the evening, compared to the leisurely side of Tang En's side, the gray-clothed Chinese army command was busy, but the atmosphere was not bad, and the big and small good news sent back from time to time made all the busy faces with joy that could not be concealed.
As I just said, due to the lack of mature echelon officers at all levels, the existing senior generals and leading officers can only assume the vast majority of responsibilities, refine and simplify the military orders as much as possible, and distribute them to the troops at all levels, so that the middle and low-ranking officers who are not well educated can quickly understand the meaning of the orders and prevent the situation from becoming an oolong.
And to do this, it is undoubtedly not easy. Especially Frey, who is the marshal, he knows very well what he is capable of, and he knows better what he is carrying on his shoulders, so although he has not been rested for several days and his eyes are bloodshot, he still sits in the middle of the army and never leaves.
Frey knew he had missed the best time to learn, and the more than a decade spent in the mines had effectively closed the door for him to continue his progress in the military field. What he can do now is to force himself to hit that dusty door with the method of diligence and clumsiness, and make as much progress as possible, even a little bit......
It was precisely because of this state of being like a magic barrier that he eased up for a while after hearing Barlow's familiar name, before he reacted. Hurriedly read the contents of the letter again, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually rose.
Slammed the table, slammed, and shouted excitedly: "Come on, go and take the thin monkeys, bamboo poles, and big bears of the Sixth Army...... Ahem......" Under the inexplicable gaze of the herald, Frey coughed a few times in embarrassment, and continued, "Go and inform the Nat, Rex and other adults of the Sixth Army, just say that it is my order, and let them come over immediately." ”
Frey undoubtedly thought of going with Josia, and attached great importance to persuading the old brother to join the Grey Army. If he really couldn't leave, he really wanted to go and invite him personally. But this is not a big problem, and the effect of the handwritten letter in the past is similar, well, plus a group of old brothers such as Skinny Monkey, the grasp is even greater......
Thinking that after more than ten years, the surviving old brothers of the Spear Breaking Team could fight side by side again, Frey's heart was even more joyful. But at this moment, the herald who had just been ordered to go out was knocked back by a hurried figure at the door curtain.
"Ouch, sorry, sorry...... General, there is an urgent military report. After hastily picking up the herald to apologize, the officer who rushed in shouted loudly.
Frey's expression suddenly corrected when he heard this: "Speak!"
"News came from the three armies that dozens of miles in front of their main force, a large number of cavalry of the Tiger Roaring Legion were coming. In addition, news also came from the right flank of the Fourth Army that a large group of cavalry of the Tiger Roar Legion was also advancing at high speed towards their position. ”
"What! Are you sure it's all cavalry?" Seeing the officer nod solemnly, Frey took a slight breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Go, gather all the generals and high-level officials to discuss quickly!"
"Yes. ”
Outside the tent of the Chinese army, the night was silent and deep. In addition to the piles of lighting bonfires, the four fields have long been shrouded in a large area of dark and dark curtains, and squint to see that they are also mixed with a faint damp mist, as if there is an undercurrent constantly churning, and it is about to erupt......
