Chapter 142 A Prophecy

The sun was about to set, and the light it emitted was far less hot and bright than at noon. It fell on people's heads, bodies and skin, and could not bring more warmth.

Just like the mood of the Aberdeen counter-insurgency army at this time: gray and cold.

The biggest target of the army's trip, the rebel leader of the province of Taranto, the Duke of Keqishi, turned around and left quickly after a brief verbal confrontation with the soldiers.Walking is so easy, so chic, and so arrogant.There are tens of thousands of armored and sharp fighters on our side, but they can only watch helplessly, there is nothing they can do.

And the words that the enemy coach, the Riga general Frankie, who was ranked among the top generals in the mainland, said before he left, put enormous pressure on each of their shoulders, and cast a shadow over their hearts.

It turns out that the continuous victories, the indomitable and invincible on the battlefield, are all illusions deliberately created by the enemy.

Not only are these victories not worth boasting about, but they are more like shame after scene. They are witnesses to the foolish behavior of our own army of ten thousand people being manipulated by the enemy between applause and stepping into the enemy's trap without knowing it.

With a violent explosion, at the same time as the stone beams spanning the north and south ends of the Grand Canyon crashed down, the counter-insurgency army was finally awakened from the dream of being immersed in eight consecutive victories.

But the reality is as cruel as a nightmare.

What's more cruel is that this nightmare has only just begun!
Can our coach, General John, whom we have always supported, resist the schemes of the famous Riga general and lead everyone back to Aberdeen safely?

Unknowingly, tens of thousands of people have gone through a tortuous and long mental journey in a very short period of time.From smug and self-confident, to full of doubts and apprehensions, to extremely restless and seeking self-protection.

From the new recruit Danzi who just entered the army to the generals and commanders at the top, at this time, few still remember the original intention of sending troops this time.Everyone's expected goals also change with the change of mentality.From the capture of Taranto, the removal of the rebellious minister Duke Keqis, to the withdrawal of troops and return, to save the military disaster in the hometown, and then to break through the enemy's trap and siege, and return to the hometown safely.

If morale and fighting spirit could be measured and displayed in numerical form, General John would be amazed at the current statistics of the army.

Even if it cannot be measured accurately, in fact, as long as they carefully observe the mental outlook of the soldiers, experienced generals can easily judge that they are close to each other.It's a pity that General John was still immersed in his own world and failed to notice these small details.

"go!"

With the shortest words, the commander issued an order for the whole army to move.

There is no expression on his face, which makes people completely unable to understand his inner thoughts.But even if he thinks on his knees, he knows that the supreme commander is definitely not happy at the moment.

Therefore, the generals had no choice but to turn their heads, and followed General John, walking back and forth in silence.

They didn't even dare to ask more questions.Such as where to go, such as the next course of action.

General John's adjutant walked past Anthony, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Anthony, since the old thief Keqishi appeared here in the Hengyuan Great Rift Valley, it shows that our decision to retreat was That's right. Otherwise, it would be too bad to find out that the old thief didn't stay in the city after the army took down Austerlitz after all the hard work!"

Anthony smiled and nodded, as gentle and polite as ever: "The general is right."

The adjutant also smiled and cupped his hands, then turned and left.Although the smile on that face deliberately wanted to express humility, but it was far from his usual habits, and the meaning of pride and pride could not be concealed no matter what.

"Hmph! What an idiot!" Tang Feng cursed bitterly—of course, only in his heart.After the last lesson, he learned to be cautious in his words and deeds, so as not to get into unnecessary trouble.

Even if Keqishi did not stay in his old den, attacking Austerlitz may not be a wrong choice.

As long as the enemy's lair is knocked down and the leader of the traitor Ke Qishi has been captured and executed, the local nobles and officials in the entire province of Taranto will not be stable. With this change, it is not overnight. And down.

The soldiers of the Taranto rebels were making trouble in the province of Aberdeen, but their base camp was stolen. Don't they panic?Comparing the reaction of the Aberdeen army when they heard that their hometown was attacked, we can see that as rebels, they will only be more at a loss.It would not be surprising if the rebels collapsed and surrendered.

At that time, what else can Ke Qishi do?Go to various counties and towns to tell people that he is still alive, and persuade them to rebel against him again?Who would believe it?The flags of the Glorious Empire and the province of Aberdeen are still flying above the city of Austerlitz.

Do you want to stand on horseback and cruise around, "brushing your face" everywhere?Not to mention that the day lily will be cold after he finishes "brushing his face".More importantly, the crisis in Aberdeen was automatically lifted.

Or run to the city of Austerlitz to confront the counter-insurgency army?Just in time, I was still worried about finding the right owner, so I sent them to my door by myself.

It can be said that as long as Austerlitz is defeated, there will be plenty of articles to do.At the very least, you can take the initiative, instead of being passive and controlled everywhere like you are now.

And Ke Qishi, the leader, did not stay in the old lair, but led the troops to wander around, which made it easier to capture Austerlitz.

Therefore, what the adjutant said cannot be a reason for withdrawing troops.On the contrary, just because Keqishi has already run out, he should take this opportunity to attack the enemy's heartland.At that time, the situation at the entire strategic level will be completely reversed.

From this perspective, General Riga is actually taking risks.If General John had been more courageous and courageous, Taranto would have been ugly.

Looking at it from another angle, it can also be said that it was Franky's ability to calculate that General John would definitely retreat.This plan seems to have many loopholes and high risks, but it seems to be in danger.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a famous general in the mainland!

I haven't seen the talents in troop dispatching and commanding for the time being, but Franky has shown his talent in terms of people's calculations and calculations.

This is something that cannot be learned from military books and military classics, and it is also the biggest gap between Tang Feng, a rookie on the battlefield, and the famous generals.

"I will definitely catch up with you and surpass you! For sure!" Tang Feng clenched his fists secretly.

……

On the other side, the Duke of Keqishi and General Franky walked slowly towards their destination under the protection of a group of powerful guards.

That's the first of the eight levels that Franky said.

The battlefield was chosen by Franky himself, and the entire strategy was formulated by him. From the northern end of the Grand Canyon to that checkpoint, the distance to go from the northern end of the Grand Canyon is naturally countless times shorter than that of the Aberdeen army at the southern end.

Therefore, a group of dozens of people walked unhurriedly, and Duke Keqishi still had time to chat with him.

"The general is really good at predicting things, and the duke is convinced. It's no wonder that John usually claims to be a military genius and a supernova, but now he is played by the general in the applause, but there is nothing he can do. Before, the duke was worried that if he really Covered his head and continued to advance to Austerlitz, he didn't know what to do. After all, the main battle force in Austerlitz had been drawn out, and it could not resist the attack of the Aberdeen army. Now it seems that it is true I'm just worrying about it. Hahahaha!"

Duke Keqishi burst into a hearty laugh, and he did not know how many birds and animals in the forest were frightened.

"Don't say that. Maybe that General John was humiliated today, and was blocked by the Grand Canyon and couldn't settle with us. He was so angry that he turned around and vented his anger to the city of Austerlitz."

Frankie continued to move forward while talking.His pace didn't stop at all, and his expression didn't change at all, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that couldn't be more ordinary.

Duke Keqishi turned pale when he heard this, staggered, and his hearty laughter suddenly got stuck in his throat, like a drake that was screaming happily was suddenly pinched by the neck.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Ke Qishi followed his breath while quickly catching up with General Riga who did not stop.

"General Franky, you, you're not telling the truth, are you?"

Frankie looked sideways at him, and finally slowed down.

"On the battlefield, the situation changes, and anything can happen. One moment you are triumphant, the next moment you may be crushed. No one can completely control everything. This is the charm of battlefield command, and it is also our leader. the value of the person.”

General Riga had long-distance eyes and a solemn expression, as if he were the most devout believer.

"There is no battle in the world that can be said to be victorious before it starts. The so-called predictability is only a fantasy that exists in novels and legends. The fable of a horseshoe nail destroying an empire, the Duke should have heard of it Right. The story may be exaggerated and too coincidental. But some inconspicuous details, which lead to huge irreparable consequences, are real facts. On the battlefield, there are more than tens of millions of intelligence information in all aspects, and nothing Taking all the details into account, of course a perfect battle plan can be drawn up. But who can really do it?"

General Franky withdrew his long-distance gaze, and looked at Duke Cokis with piercing eyes.

"Compared with the province of Aberdeen, the province of Taranto is far behind in terms of the number of troops and the quality of the soldiers. It would be courting death if they were to face each other in a dignified manner. If you don't plan to take risks, how can you have a chance of winning? I have thought about what I can think of, I have done what I can do, and the rest is up to God."

Duke Keqishi listened blankly to what General Riga said, and suddenly a strange feeling rose in his heart.

Just now, when Frankie faced Aberdeen's tens of thousands of troops with pride, he looked at his opponent like fish on a chopping board and let him knead, as if everything was under control.

Unexpectedly, this famous mainland general was just putting on airs.Everything is like a big bubble that is as beautiful as a dream, no matter how gorgeous and charming, with just a light poke, everything will shatter.

As if he had seen through the thoughts of the Grand Duke of Keqishi, Franky smiled lightly and said: "Your Excellency, there is no need to worry too much. As I expected, that General John will not change his mind so easily. Actually What I said just now is indeed the true thought in my heart: If the coach of Aberdeen is replaced by the boy Anthony, I will really have a lot of headaches."

The Duke of Keqishi is also a person who can afford to let go, and quickly put aside the unnecessary worries in his heart about how the enemy will choose to act, and was very surprised by Franky's words.

"Impossible, that young man's martial arts cultivation is indeed not to be underestimated. Judging from the collected information, he is also very smart. But when it comes to marching and fighting, he has never been in contact with it, nor does he have any experience in this field." .Why does the general think so highly of him?"

"Hehe, Your Excellency has misunderstood." Franky waved his hand gently, "I don't know if Anthony has the ability to lead the army. But for that General John, whether it is ability, disposition, or habit, Wait, wait, etc., I know everything about it. The so-called "blind fist kills the master", facing a familiar enemy, especially an enemy who is not as capable as yourself, has obvious shortcomings and shortcomings, is worse than facing an enemy. It is much easier to deal with a completely unfamiliar enemy. Just like this time, I am quite sure that General John will act according to my plan no matter how reluctant he is. If it is that young man, I will completely touch No more."

"Oh." Duke Keqishi suddenly realized.

The two leaders of the rebel army chatted casually, and their mood was very relaxed.For Anthony's "difficulty", it was more out of comparison with General John, and he didn't really take it to heart.

Neither of them realize today that the famous Riga general has become a prophecy.In the near future, they will see the tough side of the young Anthony on the battlefield.
