Chapter 595: Block First and Break Later

"This group of civilians, oh, this team is not only very strong in combat, they are also very well prepared for this battle. Soon after occupying the junction, they set up a relatively strong fortification at the junction, and at the same time they quickly scattered a large number of 'thistles' in the several passages leading into the junction, causing great trouble for our counter-attack!"

"And the most troublesome thing is that their forces are constantly and rapidly increasing!"

"Under these circumstances, both Gibson and General Beckett decided that it was impossible to reopen the passage in a short time!

"Regrouping? Ridiculous! I want to back down when I encounter this little difficulty, as the commander-in-chief of the scene, what the hell is he Gibson doing?!"

"Go back and tell Gibson that if he can't reopen all the occupied intersections within an hour, then he won't have to come back to see me!"

"Yes!" the herald immediately looked disappointed at Monroe's order. For him, who is very familiar with the battle situation ahead, Monroe's order is a typical 'blind command', and the lives of the soldiers at the front will be sacrificed in vain because of Monroe's order!

It was precisely for this reason that the moment the herald turned to leave, a trace of anger and dissatisfaction inadvertently flashed in his eyes when he looked at Monroe.

"Wait!" Monroe's voice behind him startled the herald, and he couldn't help but immediately regret his recklessness.

"Go back and tell Gibson that I'll give him another 5,000 troops. As for what he's going to do next, that's not up to me to decide, I hope he'll do what he does!"

Hearing that Monroe was not going to punish himself for his sins of disrespect. The herald breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed to Monroe. Ran out in a hurry.

"My lord, transfer another 5,000 people. There are less than 2,000 people with us around us!In case something happens during this period, and the little General Monroe can't come back in time, we are almost vulnerable here!" The intelligence officer immediately became nervous when he heard Monroe's order, and he hurried over to Monroe's side and whispered a reminder to him.

"You go down first!" Monroe waved the other herald out of the room and began to 'answer questions' for the intelligence officer:

"Don't count on little Monroe! if I'm right, he'll probably never come back!" Monroe glanced in the direction of Hailar County and shook his head faintly.

"You mean?" Monroe's words sent a shudder down the minds of the intelligence officer.

"Higgins may not have a brilliant record, but I believe that no one will deny his outstanding military talent!

"What's more, there is a Virgil Majesty above him! Now this qiē in the city has proved that Virgil Majesty has already made careful arrangements for this. Otherwise. We're not just going to war and we've become so wolf!"

"All our speculations before were based on the fact that His Majesty's body was difficult to support, but now do you think this may still exist?!"

"Since His Majesty is ready in the city, how can he ignore the movement outside the city?! Little Monroe has not heard from him, and I judge that this is the reason! He can't come back, and he will never come back!" Monroe, who was familiar with his son's temperament, knew very well what a complete defeat would mean to his son, and his eyes couldn't help but burst into tears at this time.

"What do you mean?"

"But if that's the case, you shouldn't even transfer the five thousand people around us!"

"Your Highness's order to me is to draw the defenses of Firano to our side as much as possible. So that Your Highness's next actions on their side can be more smooth!"

"This order means that no matter how hard the war is, we must always stay here, and we must not take half a step back, even if we all die here!

"Yes, yes"

"Nothing, in fact, from the moment when His Highness is in full swing. There is no way out for us to retreat, and the only thing we can do is to do our best to help His Highness complete his plan. This is the only way out for us at this moment!"

"I understand!" the intelligence officer was still planning to 'see that the situation is not good, and the soles of his feet will be greased'. But after listening to Monroe's words, he already understood his situation. His expression calmed down.

"Shall we light a third puff of wolf smoke now?"

"Wait!"

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for Higgins!"

"Higgins, wasn't he sent by His Majesty Virgil to rescue Alec and Edlaide?, what are we waiting for him?" the intelligence officer's voice did not fall, and a hint of epiphany flashed in his eyes:

"Are you trying to tell me that Higgins didn't go out of town for Alec and Edlaide? And for us?"

"But one of these two people is his most important minister, and the other is his most important son, will His Majesty Virgil really not save them from death?"

"If you want to have supreme power, the first and most important thing is to be able to completely abandon all emotions!"

"Don't look at Virgil Virgil, who usually seems to have a deep affection for them, but he knows this well, once it comes to the most critical moment, he will immediately turn himself back into a lonely 'lonely man'!"

"Little Monroe hasn't sent back the news for so long, which is enough to prove my guess: Higgins's mission out of the city is not to save Alec and Edlaide at all, his real purpose is us!

"Your Excellency, don't be so pessimistic! Maybe the Major General was just delayed by something, or maybe something happened to the person he sent back to deliver the news on the way!"

"Thank you for saying that! I hope so!" Monroe smiled and waved his hand at the intelligence officer, making a nonchalant expression.

"Send someone to pay attention to the direction of the east gate, especially on the city wall! We are not afraid of death, but we can't let them swallow us easily!"

"Yes, I'll arrange for someone to strengthen the city's defenses!"

Due to Monroe's special status and belonging to the civilian official series, this intelligence officer has hardly had any contact with him for so many years, let alone knows much about him.

To be honest, the intelligence officer has always been dissatisfied with the eldest prince's arrangement of Monroe, a civilian official, to command their army, and he has also complained about it behind his back.

However, after the change just now, the intelligence officer really saw Monroe's wisdom and calmness, and he was already convinced, and he no longer had the previous resistance to carry out Monroe's orders. After receiving Monroe's instructions, he walked out of the room without hesitation.

"'Block first and then break off'! I'm afraid the next thing is to combine the inside and the outside! 'Thoughtful' and 'pressing step by step'! When did we Dongyu have one more such talent! If it weren't for his excessive pursuit of perfection and his methods being too vicious and insidious, his future achievements would only be above Archduke Edlaide! Who is this person?" Looking at the blue sky, Monroe frowned and sighed softly.

At the same time, the appearance of 'Fred' suddenly appeared in his mind!

"The kids have finally grown up!" Monroe couldn't help but sigh again when he thought of Fred, remembering some of his past with little Monroe.

"Report!"

"Enter!" the hurried report outside the door made Monroe quickly return from a kind father to a cold-blooded commander.

"What's the matter?" Monroe's voice was unhurried, still light-hearted.

"Lord Huiyu: There are three cavalry units outside the city, each of about 10,000 people, approaching our army outside the city at great speed from the east, west, and south. General Bloom asked me to ask my lordship: whether we are fighting or retreating!"

"Do you know who the commanders of these three cavalry are, and what troops they belong to?"

"None of the three cavalry made any banners, but we only observed that the eastern and western detachments wore the uniforms of the northern legions, while the southern cavalry wore the uniform of the city defense of Ciudad Firano. ”

"The cavalry to the south is very similar to the one that came out of the city before, so we suspect that their commander is likely to be General Higgins, and as for the other two teams, they are moving so fast that we don't know how to do much reconnaissance, and so far, we don't know who led them!"

"The Northern Legion will be coming, too!

"'10,000 against 30,000', we have no chance of winning in the field!

"But our general said"

"Don't care what he says, what his brother can't do, he can't do!"

"Sue him: Don't fight in love, immediately retreat to Filano City! Violators of the order, there will be no forgiveness! Quickly!" Monroe said when he saw that the scout in front of him was still going to say more.

"Yes!" the scout nodded yes, but before he could turn around, there were earth-shattering shouts of killing from both sides of the city's walls.

The scout was startled by the voice, and for a moment, he stood still and didn't know how to move or retreat.

"Look, hurry up and give an order to little Bloom!

"Yes!" Monroe's reminder finally brought the scout to his senses, and he ran out quickly.

The scout had just run out when the intelligence officer hurried in again:

"My lord, a team of no less than 10,000 people suddenly appeared in the city, and they have cut off our connection with the front and are fighting with us for the control of the city gate!"

"Before I arrived, the gates were still in our hands. It's just that the other party's offensive is fierce, and I'm worried"

"It's time to come or it's coming!"

"Don't worry, little Bloom will be in town soon, and with his help, we should be able to hold on a little longer!" (To be continued......)
