Chapter 172
Things were getting worse for Aberdeen.

The entire battlefield of the battle was slowly moving southward, and the vacated space was filled by the Taranto troops that lined up from the defense line.It's like a big hand slowly opening, trying to hold the entire Aberdeen army in the palm of your hand.

The cavalry unit that had made its first contribution finally broke through the formation after raging in the battle formation for a while.Right now, it is cruising back and forth on the right wing of the army, like a cunning wolf, as long as it sees the opening, it will pounce wildly in the next second.

Even though the cavalry unit had left, Aberdeen's chaotic army formation could not recover immediately.Coupled with the increasing pressure from the front line, it is God's blessing that all the troops can persist without collapsing across the board. There is no room for adjusting the formation and standing firm.

Judging from the direction of the Central Army's point of view, Taranto's striker is slowly advancing, and the speed of the left and right wings is slightly faster than that in the middle.If this momentum continues, it won't take long for Taranto to form a three-sided siege to Aberdeen.

Around three Que one!

Perhaps because he knew that the situation was over and there was no room for recovery, General John was heartbroken, but his mind was unprecedentedly clear and clear, and he could see Franky's plan at a glance.

Until now, General John was surprised to find that the numerical advantage he had always thought his side had had changed unknowingly.Looking at the lineup dispatched by Taranto, it has faintly overtaken Aberdeen in terms of quantity.

General John also thought of the source of the sudden group of cavalry.It should be the rebel army that has been fanning the flames in the rear of the Aberdeen province and doing evil everywhere.

That team of cavalry took advantage of the surprise, and crashed headlong into their own battle formation, criss-crossing, unstoppable.

But after disrupting the rigorous fronts of each phalanx, before the Aberdeen army collapsed across the board, they took the initiative to go out of the formation and withdrew back.

Such an anticlimactic assault is not like Franky's style at all.There is no other reason, just because the opponent has a great appetite, and is not satisfied with defeating the Aberdeen army, but wants to swallow the entire army in front of him, including the bones.

Has been advancing slowly, maintaining a huge offensive pressure, but carefully controlling the attack.It will not only make the Aberdeen organization unable to resist effectively, but also prevent it from being completely unable to resist and collapse across the board.

When they're lined up and ready

Once a general attack is launched, Aberdeen's broken soldiers can only flee in one direction behind them.

And this direction is exactly the camp of the Chinese army where General John is located.

Aberdeen's command center, as well as the few reserves and the coach's personal guard, were smashed with routs, and they were driven south like sheep.

There, there is one and only one way out: Horseshoe Canyon.

If General John had expected it right, the other end of Horseshoe Canyon had been completely sealed off.As soon as the Aberdeen soldiers entered, Frank immediately sent heavy troops to block the north exit.

Trapped in death, with no way to escape, all food, grass and luggage were lost, and even stubborn resistance was impossible.At that time, apart from surrendering, what other options do the soldiers of Aberdeen have?

Taranto was supplemented by thousands of soldiers, which not only made up for the previous losses, but also greatly increased its strength, deterring the surrounding provinces, and its momentum was the same for a while.

At that time, whether it is sticking to the base camp, coercing and containing neighboring provinces, or taking the initiative to attack and invade the entire Glorious Empire, Taranto and Franky, who occupy a good situation, will be able to handle it with ease.

What a far-reaching layout, what a bold plan!

For the first time, General John found that he was so clear-headed and clever that he could keep up with the train of thought of the famous Riga general.

But the more I think about it, the more I regret and feel ashamed for what I did before.

Unexpectedly, my ignorance and arrogance not only ruined this counter-rebellion army, but also dragged the Aberdeen province of the Grand Duke Edwards and the entire glorious empire into the abyss.

The so-called sorrow is greater than death, and General John is exactly like this now.

On the frontline battlefield, Aberdeen was retreating steadily, and the formation was slowly but irreversibly moving here.General John just watched indifferently, letting the troops below fight on their own, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

"Don't give up, General John."

A powerful palm was pressed on his shoulder, which cheered him up and pulled him back from the illusory feeling of being stripped from the whole world.

"We haven't lost yet, as long as we persevere, things will definitely turn around."

General John seemed to have just woken up. Looking down his arm, it turned out that it was the talented boy named Anthony, and the eldest princess of the empire, Yalena, "Azure Sword Master" Caton.

General John smiled sadly, and the smile contained indescribable bitterness.

"Mr. Anthony doesn't need to comfort me. Now that the situation is very clear, how can there be any turning point. Aberdeen suffered such a big defeat, and the fault lies entirely with me. I regret it at the beginning. If I could follow Mr.'s advice at that time, how could I Today's fiasco."

Franky's entire plan has been exhausted, and after deliberating his layout and specific operations back and forth, General John can easily grasp his train of thought.

From beginning to end, Franky's goal was on the counter-insurgency army he led.Whether it is encircling Wei to save Zhao, blowing up bridges and breaking roads, or setting up traps to intercept them, they are all little tricks like cat and mouse.Not only diverted one's sight, ignored the crisis one was facing, but also exhausted one's life, so that the opponent finally found a chance and hit it with one blow.

It is only now that General John really understands what the boy said at the time, "If you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of no firewood": as long as you hold this counter-insurgency army in your hands, don't rush forward, and fight steadily Frankie has all sorts of schemes and conspiracies, how can he help me?

Caton Juggernaut squinted at him, his face was expressionless, but his heart was full of slander: Now you finally understand?It's a pity that it was a little too late.

Anthony said sternly: "People are not sages, no one can make mistakes. The most important thing is to know the mistakes and be able to correct them. Since the general knew that the previous decision was wrong, which caused the army to fall into trouble. At this time, he did not think hard about countermeasures in order to reverse the situation. Instead, he himself Ai complained and gave up, how could he live up to the entrustment of the Grand Duke Edwards, how could he live up to the bloody and bloody fighting soldiers below?"

General John's heart trembled, and he was ashamed.I didn't expect that I had grown up for decades, and my xinxing cultivation was not as good as that of a boy under 20 years old.

"Mr. taught me a lesson. There was a sudden change in the general plan, and I lost my mind for a while. Fortunately, my husband gave me a good blow, otherwise I would almost give up on myself. It's just the current situation..."

The Aberdeen coach has a very respectful attitude, and the implication is very clear.

As far as the mess in front of him is concerned, even if this general regains his strength, it is impossible to clean it up.

Anthony turned to face the front line, and waved a loudspeaker magic.

"Brothers in Aberdeen, our reinforcements are about to arrive. Please persevere! The enemies in front of you are nothing to fear. Think about how we beat them to pieces yesterday and fled in despair."

The Aberdeen soldiers who were fighting had not received any command from the Chinese army for a long time. They felt as if they had been forgotten and abandoned, and could only deal with the countless enemies around them alone.

Anthony's words were like the oracle of the true god, the lighthouse that the lost boat found in the deep sea, allowing them to find the way forward again.

Yes indeed!These taranto bastards were never suppressed and beaten by us.Even with the help of geographical location and fortifications, it was not and failed to block our edge in the end.

Now that the wings are hardened and the courage grows hairy, how dare you take the initiative to attack and fight with us?No matter how tired you are, no matter how poor your physical condition is, it's fine if you don't have the strength to counterattack back. There is no reason why you can't even resist the opponent's attack.So aren't we even inferior to cowards?

The Aberdeen soldiers who were fighting shouted in unison, like a low growl of unwillingness from the throat of a wounded beast.It was as if great strength was born out of thin air on his body, and he pushed back a few steps in the direction of Taranto in unison.

Military heart is available!

General John's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again.

He knew the situation in Aberdeen Province very well, where could he send any reinforcements.

Although relying on the deception of white lies can temporarily stimulate the morale of the army, it is not a long-term solution after all.The soldiers are already at the end of their strength. If they find that the promised reinforcements are still missing, the lie will be self-defeating.At that time, the morale of the army will not be lowered, and there will be no venting, and the battle will only be a thousand miles away.You don't need to flee to Horseshoe Canyon, you can surrender on the spot on this battlefield.

It helped Franky save trouble.

This is not alarmist talk. Aberdeen fell into such a field because of General John's fantasy of "all at once".

The lesson from the past is still in sight. How could such a bright and talented boy like Anthony make the same mistake?

General John was puzzled, but Anthony had no time to explain.The situation is extremely critical now, and Aberdeen may collapse at any time.It's not easy just to hold on to the ground, and now it's time to race against time and try to recover from the decline.If you have any questions, wait until later.

"General John, please order the Third Cavalry Battalion to retreat a bit..."

"The second sword shield brigade moved to the left to fill the vacancy..."

"The Ninth Pikemen Battalion from the rear rushed forward..."

"Let the archers cover the front line of Taranto in this area and shoot, and the cover troops will adjust..."

"..."

At this moment, Anthony didn't care about overstepping his authority, provoking jealousy, etc., and talked quickly in his mouth.

If this battle is defeated, everything will be over.At that time, I am afraid that even people will not be there, so there is no need to pay attention to any thoughts and reactions.

General John was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized, and immediately ordered to do as the boy wanted.

He had already thought clearly in his mind now that he was really not that good at fighting with Franky.Even if he had the upper hand at the beginning, he would be overtaken by his opponent in a blink of an eye, and then turned around and beaten to the ground.

Not to mention that in such a precarious and difficult situation right now, I can only stare blankly, not knowing how to deal with it at all.

That being the case, might as well let Anthony try.Not to mention the miracles that the young man has repeatedly created in the rumors, and regardless of the military talent he has only shown a few times before, even if it is just a dead horse treated as a living horse doctor, it is far better than doing nothing but doing nothing.

The command flag was waved rapidly, conveying a series of instructions to the Aberdeen formation in the battle.

Soon, the various troops that had been fighting on their own like a mess of loose sand started to move slowly.

It's like a machine that has been disassembled into parts and finally reassembled.
