Chapter 308: Loss
"What are you talking about?" Ghost Ugly looked at the herald in front of him in disbelief, his face was pale, his lips kept shaking, and his body stiffened, obviously losing the consciousness of thinking. ".2.
It's no wonder that the ghost is frightened, the news brought by this herald is too heavy, the 10th Guards Legion has a full 100,000 troops, an elite force of 100,000 people, after experiencing many battles such as the Battle of the Holy Capital City Wall, the Holy Capital Breakout Battle, and the Strategic Retreat, the number of people who have arrived in Crescent Moon City alive is less than 3,000 people!
In order to distract the enemy's attention, the broken troops put up a stubborn resistance, and it was this soldier who blocked the advance of the rebels and increased the chances of survival for the team they escorted, but even so, Jesse, the commander of the 10th Guards Regiment, was blinded after being seriously wounded in the battle, and the men in charge of the 10th Guards were some unarmed civilian officials, who were also killed along the way, and there were less than twenty officers left.
There were originally 20,000 troops that broke out, they rushed left and right, day and night, they didn't dare to stay, because there were only enemies eyeing them around, this journey can be described as difficult, they thought they could get supplies in the North Wind City, but unexpectedly, the North Wind City was already empty, and the materials left behind could not be used at all, but with the teachings of the ghosts and ugliness in the past and the endless means of survival, they finally came to the city of the crescent moon, and when these soldiers came to the city of the crescent moon, many people cried with joy, and after lying on the ground, they never got up。
"My lord, the remaining soldiers are all wounded, and less than a thousand can participate in the battle. Although the herald was only delivering a message, the message was so heavy that he couldn't help but sigh when he spoke. After taking a deep breath, the ghost asked about the basic situation of the soldiers in the Crescent Moon City, and by the way, he also asked about the situation of those civilian officials, because of the desperate protection of the 10th Guards Legion, although half of the civilian officials died on the road, the rest of the people were enough to support the management and construction of the Crescent Moon Province.
"Caleb...... What is the situation of Your Majesty?" The ghost ugly has not asked, this is the question he doesn't want to ask but wants to know the most, after hesitating for a moment, he finally decided to ask, the soldier was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty has begun to manage the government, and issued the first will, ordering the Lord to be the general of counterinsurgency, with full authority to deal with the counterinsurgency matters, for this matter, those civil officials also quarreled with Your Majesty, but Your Majesty suppressed them all, this is Your Majesty's will, please check and accept the order." ”
The soldier took out a white jade scroll, with a solemn face, while the ghost clown had a solemn face, and knelt down on his knees to take over the will, the content of which was not readable for the ghost clown, even if Kahler did not give the order, he was also fully responsible for counterinsurgency matters, whether there was this will did not have any special meaning for him, but it was of great significance to Calle, because he was the king of a country, he represented the Kotler Empire, and gave the will to the ghost clown, firstly, to show his rights, and secondly, to shut up those civil officials, lest the ghost clown in front of the war and tired of work, but those civil officials chattered like flies to annoyAs for this third, it's a bit intriguing, although it's also for civil officials, but it depends on the attitude of the ghost, if the ghost is not respectful, then these civil officials will definitely not agree, so the ghost took over Kahler's order in the most reasonable way, and it is also a support for Kahler to take power.
"My lord, Your Majesty has given you time to go back to Crescent Moon City, saying that he wants to give you the seal of the handsome. Listening to the soldier's words, the ghost ugly shook his head and said: "The general is outside, the king's order is not affected, now the rebels will attack Crescent Moon City at any time by water, such fighters cannot be delayed, you report according to the truth, and let Lord Salint and Lord William in Crescent Moon City bring troops to help me as soon as possible, and the Thirteen Dustless Dao will go to the Winston family to put pressure on them to surrender!"
The soldier went down after listening, the ghost looked at the river in Linjiang, a cold light flashed in his eyes, the tenth guard regiment is the legion he single-handedly supported, how can he not know how the combat effectiveness is, thinking that the tenth guard regiment was notorious in the holy capital, but no one dared to move, the first battle of the holy capital actually beat this legion without a number, and the tragedy of the battle of the holy capital can be imagined.
According to the soldiers' reports, the rebels' attacks continued day and night, blood flowed under the city walls, corpses piled up, and even in the end, there was no need to erect ladders on the city walls, but directly climbed the corpses to climb the city walls, but all those who had a little combat effectiveness in the city all participated in the battle, but the strength of the rebels was too strong, in order not to let the holy capital fall to the point of being slaughtered, the old emperor immediately ordered the tenth guard regiment to break through from the city gate in the other direction, protecting those civilian officers and soldiers in two ways, all the way to the Cardan Hills Boundary, all the way south to the Crescent Moon City, the troops who went to the Cardan Hills did not know what the situation was, but it was extremely difficult to go south。
And the gratifying news in the past few days is that Billy, the lord of the province of Salinte, successfully defeated the defenders under the city with the cooperation of Calle, first deceived the spies in the city of Salint at that time, and then used the trick of blinding, at that time Kalie did not have many troops on hand, but there were still some cavalry, and the cavalry crotch mounts were tied to branches and other debris, and the overwhelming smoke and dust acted as a fog, and the group of provincial combined legions under the city miscalculated the enemy strength that appeared in the south of the camp at the beginning, which led to a decline in the strength of the defense of Salint City, and the winged troops in the air distracted some attention through constant harassmentWhen the soldiers in the city of Salint left the city, Calle was less than three miles away from the rebel camp, which was basically a charge to reach, but this was not the most critical.
The reason why the provincial combined legion can be defeated, the biggest effect is the army of the lord of Brigie, this small lord who has been lurking in the provincial united legion brought nearly 15,000 troops, because they are all infantry and archers, so they are arranged in the center of the two-way defense, so the two sides of the attack, after the middle flowering, the chaotic provincial joint legion almost as soon as the battle began to collapse, because of the sudden backlash of Brigitte, so that many representatives of the province began to distrust the surrounding troops, and once this rift arises, in this case, it will directly produce a qualitative change, and the rout will not be hungry to avoid life。
After that, Billy and William also followed the arrangement of the Ghost Ugly and the same as the North Wind City, implementing the policy of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, and gathered all the resources available to the Crescent Moon City, their degree was very fast, and the Tenth Guard Legion followed them to the Crescent Moon City, for a time the Crescent Moon City was surrounded by hustle and bustle, Billy was even more happy to hand over the military power to the Ghost Ugly after seeing Calle, and also sent 2,000 soldiers to assist the Ghost Ugly.
"Is there any news about the ten ships before?" Ghost Ugly asked Karle after letting the soldier go down, Karlie shook his head, he had spared the square boats of the ten temples before, and also sent Wingmen to keep an eye on them, but he didn't expect that the Wingmen he sent didn't keep an eye on them, the river was there, but he just couldn't find it, which made Ghost Ugly feel very uneasy.
"Continue to reconnoitre, and the other ambush troops pay attention, ready to fight at any time!" Although the ten square ships that were spared were gone, the ghost ugly also received the news that the temple legion had finally moved from its original place, and now the temple's square boat troops were slowly approaching the ambush area, and even some clippers had appeared in sight.
The place chosen by the ghost is a relatively narrow river surface on the river, this kind of place is not wide, but the water is very fast, and the water level is extremely deep, this water depth is enough for the flagship, but this is not the battlefield of the flagship, but for the square boat, it is the most favorable environment.
Soon the square boat of the temple appeared in the sight of the ghost, and the ghost ugly slowly squatted down, silently waiting, the enemy's clipper quickly rowed in front of him, the water here is fast, the degree of the clipper is naturally fast and faster, and soon this narrow river is occupied by countless clippers, the previous wave of the temple army has cleaned up the reeds, but unfortunately their griffin cavalry was wiped out by the winged troops under the ghost with the same end, otherwise from the sky, the location of their ambush is clear at a glance.
The Clippers soon returned to their home formation, but when they came back, the degree was much slower, after all, it was a boat against the current, and the resistance was still very large. There are a total of forty square boats in the temple this time, and originally the river was wide and they were three in parallel, but as the river narrowed, their formation had to become two in parallel, seeing this change, the ghost ugly couldn't help sneering in his heart, this is what he was waiting for.
When the enemy's boat walked into the ambush circle, the ghost raised his hand indifferently, and then stared at the enemy's boat and fell fiercely.
Ten quick shadows immediately rushed out of the reeds, and quickly approached the square boat before they had time to react, and heard a loud bang, these strange ships that suddenly rushed out hit the side of the square boat, and firmly inserted on it, each square ship had at least two such strange ships hung on it, and the next move of the soldiers on the ship was even more cold and surprising.
Before the fast boat approached, they pulled the strange ship out of the hull of the square boat as much as possible, and then the soldiers entered the water one after another, and soon there was no one on the ten strange boats, what is even more strange is that although the strange ship broke away from the square boat, the surface of the square boat knocked out a big gap, but this gap is much higher than the water, even if it is left alone, it will not affect the navigation, here is no more than the sea, but there is no strong wind and waves.
"Strange, why do these ships keep sticking to us?" a temple soldier asked a companion next to him with some puzzlement, what was the matter with the strange ship that had broken away from the square ship, but still been able to follow the square boat?
Before everyone could figure it out, they heard a loud bang, and then the water splashed, and a sticky square boat suddenly exploded without warning!
