Chapter 660 The Immortal General
In the same city only four kilometers away at the foot of Baishi City, the army that Saint Vicoia went to harass had just returned.
"How is it?"
"Not bad." The officer who had just returned with two thousand people said: "The vigilance in Baishi City is still very high. I guess my team has just They were spotted by their spies as soon as they left the city.”
“Did you find where their spies were?”
The officer said: "We detected one. It's on the cliff to the east. It should have been the lair of the wasteland griffin." He pointed to the cliff a few miles away and said: "It's probably at that location. Do you see it?"
"That area is darker?" asked the questioning officer.
The leading officer nodded.
The questioning officer waved and called a reconnaissance soldier: "Is it there if you approach quietly, remember not to let him find out."
"Yes." Reconnaissance After hearing the order, the soldier disappeared after taking a few steps.
The questioning officer and the leading officer returned to the military camp and said: "If this can be confirmed, we can identify their five reconnaissance outposts, and we need to find out all their reconnaissance outposts."
The officer leading the army said: "This is not difficult to do. There are not many places suitable for reconnaissance nearby. They are mainly concentrated on the cliffs to the east. As long as all their spies are cleared before the time comes to take action. , at a distance of about four kilometers, we can catch them off guard very quickly, and they can't even react. It seems that our fatigue tactics have not seen any obvious effect so far."
"Don't worry. "The effect will come out in a day or two." The interrogating officer said: "What I am worried about is whether our actions can be done quickly. Their network layout of defense structures between strongholds. The cavalry troops will arrive soon for reinforcements. The difficulty is that we can't go around behind them and send out a surprise force to cut off their reinforcement route."
The leading officer nodded and said: "Yes, theirs. The defense layout is in a diamond shape, and the mobile reinforcements are hidden behind adjacent towns. Although it seems that there are not many troops in each city, they can suddenly increase their troops at any time, and the pass area is their defensive stronghold. , we can only attack from the front, and the terrain is too favorable for them. If we want to carry out this sneak attack, we have to let the troops who are assisting us in the defense act to pretend to attack Shayan City to the west of Baishi City and attract their reinforcements. Disperse their forces."
The interrogating officer said: "I have already sent someone to contact you about this, and the results will be available this afternoon. I believe there will be no problem."
The officer leading the troops said: "Also, we can't just pay attention to the sentinels that may exist on the cliffs to the east of them. They may also exist in other places. They must be cleared thoroughly."
The questioning officer said: "Well, I know, you go down and rest, I have to plan the next attack later. I hope we can capture White Rock City before General Genis comes back. This is also a big achievement."...
Welcome Party. It was indeed very simple, so simple that it could not be called a welcome party.
In a small hall in the barracks, Thain held up a cup and said: "You can't drink casually in the military camp, so I can only use drinks instead. Welcome to join the volunteer army and join us in White Rock City Troop, from this moment on, the 33 of you are members of the volunteer army. Come on, let’s raise a glass to welcome you.”
The dozens of mercenary soldiers who had just returned from the battle were leaning on each other listlessly. By the wall.
Thain put down the cup and clapped his hands and said: "Hey, cheer up. We will rest later and welcome our new comrades first."
These soldiers only slowly cheered up and said some welcome words. words.
Ween and the others finished the drinks in their cups, wondering what was going on.
Sain said: "Okay, let the newcomers and veterans get to know each other. We will organize you into three teams in a while. By the way, find someone to teach them the regulations in the army and what to tell them. You can’t commit anything.”
“Yes, sir”
The military barracks in Baishi City used to be civilian residences. After the war broke out, the residents here were moved inland, and the remaining houses were converted into barracks. The party hall where they are now is also the place where these volunteers come back to rest and chat with each other after fighting. It is also their conference room.
Everyone said each other's names, and they were acquainted. Soon the hall became quiet again.
Irina found that everyone in the hall was dull, and there was no lively atmosphere at all. She asked Luo in a low voice: "Do they not welcome us?"
Luo shook his head and also whispered: "I don't know either. "
Wayne was even more upset and muttered: "This is completely different from what I imagined. I thought there would be a passionate battle, but I didn't expect it to be so lifeless. It’s not like this in the city.”
Behind him, a mercenary who came with him said: "I just heard from their people that they haven't had a good sleep for several days."
"That's right." He was almost leaning on the chair Thain, who was asleep, opened his eyes and said: "In the past few days, I have been harassed and attacked by the opposite party every hour or two, day and night. It has been four times since dawn today. I want to sleep." It’s hard to get a good night’s sleep.”
“Why is this happening?” Irina asked.
"What else is there? It's just to disturb the enemy's tactics and deliberately prevent us from sleeping." A certain soldier said weakly.
Luo asked: "Now that the battle is over, why can't we go and rest?"
Another soldier said: "We have been divided into two groups, one during the day and one at night. As long as there are not many enemies coming, we will take turns to rest. Now is the time for us to be on standby."
Sain suddenly sat up Shouted: "Blacksmith, blacksmith?"
"I'm here, sir." A short bald soldier in the corner responded with a very reluctant voice. Thain said: "My sword is a little curled, please help me repair it."
"Don't be ridiculous, boss." The blacksmith closed his eyes and said: "Let me take a rest. Let’s wait until I get some rest.”
Wayne saw that the man he called the blacksmith had an interesting appearance. He was not tall and shirtless, and his body was not very strong, but his skinny body had very clear muscles, and he also had a tiger tattoo on his shoulder and back. What is uncoordinated is that he also has a bulging beer belly, some small protruding teeth, and a small goatee on his chin, which looks really funny. What was even more incongruous was his weapon, a heavy broadsword with a golden handle that was taller than his body. Just by looking at it, the sword weighed no less than 70 kilograms.
At this time Bodala came to find Wayne and the others.
Ween no longer wanted to stay in this silent hall, so he went out with Bodala.
Arrived at the mountain behind the city, Bodala looked around and took out half a bottle of wine and a few glasses from under his cloak: "We old classmates haven't seen each other for a long time. I really miss you."< br>
Wayne's eyes shone: "Didn't you say that drinking is not allowed in the military camp?"
Bodala smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as no one else knows. I got this wine from General Langdon. He said that old classmates should have a sip when they meet, as long as they don't cause trouble."
< br>Wayne rubbed his hands and said: "Hey, you are doing well, and your relationship with the general is so good."
Bodala poured a few glasses of wine. He handed it to them and said: "I can be considered half of his personal guard. Hey, where is your friend, the one with the white hair, who came out with you just now."
"Don't worry about him. He, he is this kind of person." Wayne raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's have a drink."
The four of them gathered under the small tree and took a sip.
Irina saw the military rank on Podala's collar and asked: "You are already a non-commissioned officer. What is your position now?"
Podala smiled and said: "I am a mid-level non-commissioned officer, and now I am in the war room. The captain of the third team of the Guard's right team is mainly responsible for the security of the war room. "
Irina asked: "How long have you been here? Does your family know?"
"Of course I do." Bodala said: "My father encouraged me to join the army. He said that a real man should be like a soldier. If he wants to prove himself, he should go to the battlefield to build a Hey, the main reason was that I didn't pass the Kulantin exam that year. My mother always praised me in front of my cousins about how good I was, but when this happened, my cousins always used it to ridicule me. It embarrassed me and my mother too. I thought, why should I hold my breath like this at home? If I come out to join the army, I will see how they still laugh at me when I return with military exploits."
"Those cousins of yours are the most annoying. I used to dislike your family the most..." Wei. En quickly stopped his mouth and said with an awkward smile: "Sorry, sorry."
Bodala rolled her eyes at him: "You are still the same as before."
Irina said: "Ignore him, he is an idiot. How long have you been in the army?"
>Bodala said: "I have only been trained for three years. Months later, he was sent to the front line before he finished training. It took him less than five months to arrive in Baicheng. In total, he joined the army for less than a year. He is still a new recruit. "
"Wow, you are so fast. Was he promoted to an intermediate sergeant?" Luo said in surprise.
Bodala was also a little proud: "This is also luck. You can't say that, this can't be said to be luck." He sighed and said: "I rose so fast, unlike General Edward some time ago. That time Edward died in battle. The general led 15,000 people to raid Dragon Guard City (a small city of strategic value in the Vulkan region). As a result, he was ambushed by the enemy and was besieged in the Griffin Valley area (located at the junction of Vulcan and Idso districts). Valley, because it is wilderness It was named after the gathering place of griffons). At that time, our White Rock City and several other cities sent troops to respond to the breakout, but they were surrounded by the Saint Piccolo Army and suffered heavy casualties. Not only the 15,000 people led by General Edward were not rescued. , even go Nearly 20,000 people were killed in the rescue. It can be said that our vitality was severely damaged in that battle. Our 23,000 people in the Seventh Army lost less than 6,000 people. This is one of the reasons why morale is low now. "
"It is true that the death of the general in battle must have had a great impact on the fighting spirit of the soldiers." Irina said.
Ween said: "You haven't said how you were promoted to the rank of intermediate non-commissioned officer."
Bodala said: "I was a private at that time, and I was among the troops involved in the rescue. I rescued General Edward's body from the flames of war Come on, no one, he fell into the hands of the enemy. Because of this, I made great achievements and was promoted to the third level and became a mid-level non-commissioned officer.” After all, such military exploits are not worthy of celebration, let alone cheering.
"Denson Edward." Luo sighed: "The immortal general also died in battle."
Wayne asked: "Hey, why is General Edward called the 'Immortal General'?"
"Because General Edward was judged to have died three times in his life, but he survived. That's why it's called 'immortal' General'. "Christine Bimoye climbed up the mountain on the rocks and fallen leaves: "It is a misfortune for the empire to lose a famous general like this."
"Want a drink?"< br>
“Thank you, no.” Than Moyer said: "I want to know how General Edward died, and in whose hands he died?"
Bodala said: "At that time, the general's troops were surrounded by two armies of Saint Vicoia, and later three more An army joined to stop us Reinforcements. Judging from the scars on the general's body, General Langdon said that he was probably killed by the enemy's 'Knight of Fire' Gnis and 'Purple Star War General' Grayfa who surrounded the general at that time. ”
