Chapter 136 Bloody Battle

When General John led the guards to the scene of the battle, the first battle between the rebels and the counter-insurgency forces had already been decided.

It is more accurate to say that the war has come to an end.

The battlefield is dominated by flat land and the terrain is not complicated, and the field of vision is very wide.Standing on the hillside not far from the battlefield, what General John saw were the rebel soldiers running wild, and their own cavalry chasing after them.

Last but not least, a larger number of infantry phalanxes are also joining the ranks of pursuit.

It's just that from the speed point of view, they should not be able to gain any military exploits.

General John swept his eyes, and the focus fell on the defense lines made of sandbags, earth and rocks.

If his guess is correct, this should be the reliance that the rebels rely on to stop their own army, and it is also the main battlefield where the two sides are fighting.

Judging from the current situation, the enemy obviously underestimated the combat power of our army.In other words, they overestimated the defensive capabilities of their troops.

Those hastily arranged fortifications such as piled sand and gravel cannot provide them with more combat power bonuses.Calculating from the time, they even failed to resist the first three waves of attacks of their vanguard cavalry, and they had already given up resistance and fled in all directions.

In the eyes of General John, these fortifications did not meet the standards at all. The only positive effect they could play was to slow down the pursuit speed of the cavalry and buy precious time for the rebels to escape.

Suddenly, General John caught a figure out of the corner of his eye.

"Mr. Anthony, you are here too!"

"General John." Anthony bowed to him.

"As a man, there are probably not many people who are not interested in fighting for victory on the battlefield. Although I was born in the province of Edinburgh, due to various reasons, I have never been to the border front. Now it is the right time, so naturally I can't miss the opportunity , to observe the heroic demeanor of the Aberdeen warriors under General John's command in killing the enemy."

General John didn't dare to take it too seriously, so he quickly returned the gift.But I couldn't help but feel a little complacent and proud.

The same word of praise, spoken from different populations, has great differences in weight.

The young man in front of him is the most dazzling new star rising in the empire in recent years. Even His Majesty the King treats him with great courtesy.General John was also very happy to receive a compliment from him.

What's even more rare is that he was successful at a young age and possessed superb skills, yet he has a gentle attitude, humility and courtesy.As the special envoy of His Majesty the King, he also respects himself very much.After thinking about it, the communication with each other should be smoother than imagined.

"Mr. Anthony arrived before General Ben, and he must have seen the entire battle. What does Mr. Unknown think about this battle, and even the entire counter-insurgency campaign?"

This is quite a comparison.

According to information, this Anthony is young and mature.In addition to martial arts cultivation as deep as the sea, mysterious and unpredictable, his wisdom and strategy are also very good.

General John disagreed with this.

But the young man's martial arts cultivation is absolutely true, and he even has the brilliant record of killing the golden fighter in a flash, which cannot be faked.Therefore, even his description of the opponent's resourcefulness is a bit dubious, and he wants to hear Anthony's opinion.

"I have never joined the army, nor have I personally experienced any wars. There is no room for a kid to comment on such a big scene as a counter-insurgency campaign."

Anthony smiled lightly.

"The battle just now made me feel so excited and unable to control myself. The army under the command of the general is indeed very brave. It's just that although the enemy can't fight, he can run quite well. It's a pity that we couldn't further expand the results of the battle. .”

General John frowned slightly, and then relaxed it.

"Hahaha! Mr. Anthony, there is no need to be sorry. If you can run away, the monk can't escape the temple. No matter how you run, those bastards will eventually return to their lair. When this general sends his troops to smash the old thief's den of Keqishi, these little bastards will never again There's nowhere to run. Hahaha!"

General John's hearty laughter echoed in the wilderness.

Anthony looked at the rebel soldiers fleeing in all directions, shook his head slightly, and sighed inwardly.

……

In the province of Edinburgh, in front of the Huaishui Pass.

The setting sun is like blood.

But on the majestic pass, the city wall, the moat under the wall, and even the area hundreds of feet in front of the pass, the color of the bright red or dark red liquid that is about to solidify is not dyed by the setting sun.

Ming Jin withdraws troops!

The sound of knocking on the gong came from behind the main formation, which indicated that today's siege battle had come to an end.The soldiers coming in like a tide, with the harsh metal knocking sound, retreated back like the ebbing sea water again.

The sky-shattering shouts of killing gradually weakened and even disappeared.The area where the two sides fought fiercely and refused to give an inch a moment ago became quiet in an instant.

The cold wind blew past, bringing only a few faint moans.It didn't break the silence at the moment, but made people feel the dead silence of this area even more.

The Grand Duke Mattesias stood on the tall tower, looking across the hell-like battlefield, and projected it to the handsome flag waving in the wind.

His face was tired and sleepy, his eyes were red, and his gray hair seemed to be getting paler.

Like more than ten days ago, the Grand Duke's face was as deep as water, making it hard to see whether he was happy or sad.

But as long as the generals and soldiers who participated in this battle of defending the city can probably guess the mood of the Grand Duke at the moment.

hold on!
We have defended the Huaishui Pass!

Even in the face of the Riga Empire, which has made the surrounding countries change their colors...

Even if the leader of the attack is General Dino, who ranks second among the "Six Great Generals" of the Riga Empire...

Even if more than half of our companions are rookies on the battlefield for the first time...

Even if some wolf-hearted dregs behind him stage a rebellion at this fatal moment...

Even if the supply of soldiers and supplies from various provinces is greatly affected by the rebellion...

but!

We have withstood all pressures, we have overcome all difficulties, and we have held the Huaishui Pass!The Riga man, who was as fierce as a jackal, broke his scalp and broke his sharp teeth in front of the Huaishui Pass, but he couldn't move forward half a step!
Although the Huaishui Pass was full of wounded soldiers, most of the soldiers who still stood at their posts were wounded.However, everyone—whether they are generals, soldiers, officials or civilians—believes very firmly at this moment that they will be able to hold the Huaishui Pass under the attack of the brutal Riga people!

Just because he blocked the arrows with his body, he had to protect the rookie team leader behind him who still had a childish face; he suffered a huge injury and knew he would die but wanted to hug the enemy's rookie who rolled off the high wall; Soldiers who hadn’t died for a while, with all their strength, had to cling to the enemy and create opportunities for their companions; their hands and feet were broken, and they collapsed on the ground, even if they bit the enemy’s trousers with their teeth, the Riga people’s progress was slightly delayed. At the same time, we must also do our last part for our comrades in arms, for the guards, and for the glorious empire...

That's right, our training is not as good as the enemy's, our combat experience is not as good as the enemy's, and our number of professionals is not as good as the enemy's.However, we are bloody, courageous, and have the spirit of defending our home and country without fear of death.

No matter how cruel the wolves are, what can they do?The broken limbs in front of the Huaishui Pass are proof of our determination.

Among the army of the Riga Empire, under the handsome flag.

The diminutive General Dino had a livid face.

The performance of the opponent's garrison soldiers surprised this well-known mainland general.

The Riga Empire and the Brilliant Empire have been at war over the years. The Riga Empire dispatched troops, and the leading generals they dispatched were different, and their styles of commanding troops also had their own characteristics.But on the side of the Brilliant Empire, there is always only one Grand Duke Mattesias.

The Riga Empire is keen on military expansion and has an effective and complete military intelligence system.Although General Dino was dealing with the Grand Duke Mattesias for the first time, he was no stranger to his commanding style.

A tough opponent.

This is General Dino's evaluation of the Grand Duke.

Although he spoke highly of this opponent, he didn't take the Huaishuiguan battle too seriously.

No matter how talented a general is, he also needs the ability of his soldiers to support him.One can imagine the actual combat power of the guard force formed with more than half of the recruits.

What's more, the military strength of the Brilliant Empire has always been weak, and the level of "regular" soldiers can't even catch the eyes of General Dino, so how can they cope with the army of hundreds of battles under their command.

To command such an army...

General Dino felt a little sympathetic to the Grand Duke Mattesias.

After the battle officially started, everything went exactly as he had imagined.

Just a tentative attack, the warriors of the empire had already rushed to the tower, almost breaking through the opponent's defense.

If it weren't for his own efforts to be safe, as long as he sent another square team of ten thousand people, perhaps the Huaishui Pass would have changed hands long ago.

However, there is no need to be sorry. Although the Huaishui Pass was not won in this first battle, the gap in strength between the enemy and ourselves has been fully tested.Next time, as long as we put in more effort, this magnificent pass, which the glorious empire relies on to resist the advance of our army, will surely fall into our own hands.

General Dino is confident of this.

At least, that's what the general thought when he returned to the camp.

Soon, he regretted his prudence.

After the first day of fighting, the opponent's soldiers matured extremely quickly, and they fought inextricably with their own warriors.Compared with the performance of the previous day, it was like changing an army.

It's not that they transformed from rookies to veterans overnight.Battlefield experience, if you don't go through several or dozens of life-and-death fights, and struggle from the death line, how can you easily get it.

What has changed is only the mentality.

They are no longer nervous.

No more fears, worries.

All of these emotions are overshadowed by a powerful emotion called anger.

Why should we be bullied? !
Why do you fight when you want to fight, and talk about peace when you want to? !
Why kill our people and burn down our village houses with impunity, not even an apology? !
Why would you send a trash-like so-called prince here just to marry our magical genius girl, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess? !If you don't agree, why don't you leave? !

Is it because we are mild-tempered, because we love peace?
Well, now, at Huaishuiguan, on this battlefield, let you Riga wolf cubs see the bloodiness of the soldiers and civilians of our glorious empire!
Want to invade our country and wreak havoc on our homes?
Then we have to step over our corpses first!
There is no need to look at the post-war statistics. General Dino knows very well that the opponent's loss of soldiers is still higher than that of ordinary defense battles.This is the difference between a rookie and a veteran, and it cannot be made up by mere blood and courage.

But the role of Xue Yong appeared in another place.

I would rather die than retreat!

Judging from the situation in front of him, General Dino believes that if he wants to capture this grand pass, he must wipe out all the soldiers guarding the city.

It is total annihilation, not defeat or defeat.Enemies with such beliefs will neither surrender nor flee.

Now Huaishuiguan has become a huge flesh and blood mill, constantly devouring the lives of soldiers on both sides.If you want to win, you can only rely on human lives to pile up.

General Dino looked around.

The original ease on the faces of the generals has long since disappeared.Instead, it was dignified and worried.

A little further away, the soldiers who participated in the siege battle or had not yet entered the battle had a trace of fear besides solemnity on their faces.

No one wants to fight with a bunch of lunatics.

General Dino knew very well that if things went on like this, even if Huaishui Pass was finally won, his troops would be beaten and disabled.

This is by no means what he wants to see.

Suddenly, the short, unattractive general twitched his mouth and smiled softly.

The Grand Duke on the opposite side desperately resisted and defended the Huaishui Pass because they had no choice but to go this way.

But I am different from them.

Since there are better choices, why should I put all my eggs in one basket and play this game of mutual consumption and exhaustion with them.

General Dino looked at the Huaishui Pass in front of him, but his gaze went beyond the Xiongguan Pass to the hinterland of the Brilliant Empire.

Counting the time, the good show over there is about to begin.

　One day earlier, no weekly update, which is somewhat of an improvement.

　　And the number of words is almost equal to two chapters.

　　In the Q group, I also told several book friends that in my spare time every day, I am fighting between milk powder and diapers, and I only use fragmented time to code words.I have not planned or guaranteed the speed of the update.The only thing I can do is to seize the opportunity to write and write as much as possible.Maybe slow, but not eunuch.

　　To those who waited impatiently, I can only say sorry.

　　The above is written for book lovers who really want to read and pursue books.

　　Please detour for those who deliberately make trouble or have malicious intentions.No need to waste your precious time leaving footprints in the book review section.I'm slow to update or just a eunuch, isn't it just what you want?
