Chapter 1653 A Different Army
Two of the damaged Tianlei Towers that were repaired in the afternoon were destroyed by catapults, but there are still several such towers. Such a strong attack will cause the opponent to suffer greater losses. . And as long as they are unable to attack for a long time and retreat, the magicians and materials prepared by their men can repair the destroyed Tianlei Tower within a few hours.
Thinking of this, Hus calmed down and smiled secretly: "Calasias, the famous general on the west coast, our Midgart soldiers are not as inferior as your west coast. These are all in St. Peter's Lessons learned from powerful countries such as Keya and Moyue , and as a result after being popularized across the country, the basic quality and ability of our people are much higher than those of your country!”
At this moment, the sound of killing sounded from behind, and Black Knight Volo stepped on the ground! Flying low in the black mist.
Husse was suddenly startled and asked loudly: "What's going on? What's going on?"
After shouting several times, an officer in the city jumped up to the top of the city and ran to inform the military situation: "Oh no, General Hus, the enemy is coming from behind!"
"What?!" Hus was shocked. , gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Damn home Man, when did they come around behind us? Why didn’t the scouts and sentry towers come to report?”
At this time, there is no way to check the details, because the enemy’s powerful monsters are already in the city. Summon it out.
Although Xiyang Pass is a long and narrow city gate, due to its limited scale, only a few thousand troops can be stationed in the city. After nightfall, more than 30% or even more of the soldiers were in the city for treatment and recuperation. Most of the remaining troops were transferred to the west of the city to prepare for battles. Everyone's attention was here, and the rear was facing It's the emptiest time. At this time, Black Knight Volo led 800 elite troops to attack from the rear, and easily penetrated into the city gate. Suddenly, there were four killing sounds in the city gate, and flames shot into the sky. Hu Sang and Hus could not figure out how many enemies there were, and the soldiers who refused to defend the city wall were panicked.
"Kill, kill~!" Calasias's army once again shouted loudly, and each of them summoned their guardians with ferocious spirits and accelerated forward.
Morale is often a matter of a moment. The defenders in the city were attacked from both sides, and their morale collapsed immediately. Calasias took the lead in attacking the city, followed by more high-ranking soldiers. Calasias saw the enemy swinging his sword and killed him. The defenders fled in panic, completely losing their proper discipline and quality.
Calasias looked around, looking for the enemy general, but under the night, the light of magic flickered, and he couldn't find where the enemy general was. He released his guardian black beast to guard his side, and soon he saw the black knight Volo flying towards here on his mount.
Our soldiers have carved out a safe zone at the top of the city, and the city gate below and the suspension bridge of the trench have also been lowered. Calasias didn't wait for Volo to fall, and asked directly: "Have you seen the enemy general?"
"Aren't those two guys here?" Volo looked around and said, "I thought they had been generals. Captured alive."
Calasias returned to his original form and curled his lips: "These two losers can escape very quickly. Please persuade the enemy to surrender, and then search around the city, and you can clean up the battlefield. ”
"Yes."
......
The results of the battle were quickly tallied up. Calasias was sitting in the combat command room at the city gate. He was seriously injured in the battle just now. The military doctor was treating him and listening to the reports from his men.
“In this battle, including the afternoon confrontation, we had a total of 519 killed, 1,670 injured, and 441 seriously injured. About 1,450 enemy soldiers were killed and 3,114 prisoners captured. The enemy had about 3,000 people. Escape."
Calasias breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, okay."
The military staff member said: "Most of them were injured by the enemy's magic rock cannon and city defenses. After entering the Sunset Pass, the enemy did not pose any threat to us."
"Bang~!" Karasia Si disdainfully said: "The soldiers here are the same as those in the countries on the west coast. They just didn't flee without fighting."
The military staff said with a smile: "Since we were taken over, Generalissimo Fried has emphasized Let all soldiers strengthen discipline training, Instead of learning more martial arts and abilities, these six months of rigorous discipline training opened my eyes. In the past, the soldiers on the West Coast would pee in their pants whenever they heard the sound of the magic rock cannon. In just half a year, They dared to advance despite the artillery fire. Marshal Fried is really good at training."
"This is not Marshal Fried's idea." Black Knight Volo, Predator Luo. Si and other key officers walked in. Warlow continued: "When I was studying at the War College, I repeatedly stressed to us the importance of soldiers' discipline and quality. At that time, we dismissed it and thought that marching in an orderly manner, tidying up housekeeping, trousers and hems should be the same height, and quilts and sheets must be folded evenly. , This kind of training method is ridiculous. Although Marshal Fried values discipline, he doesn't care that much. It's the people behind the War College who give death orders to all those who violate military discipline, whether during the drill or during breaks. military The officers and soldiers were severely punished, and then the soldiers were trained. Now it seems that the effect is obvious. When I took 800 soldiers to sneak across, no one made a sound. Just retreat, it’s really kind of like The feeling of arm command. Although their individual combat strength has not been strengthened much, the army has become more like a whole."
Rose asked with concern: "Oh, how are your 800 soldiers?"< br>
"No one was killed." Volo said proudly.
Calasias was secretly surprised. Originally, attacking the enemy was the most difficult. Even if it was several times stronger than the enemy, it might not be possible to defeat it. Although there was Rose's cunning plan before and Wolo's surprise attack later, in the past, if we had to lay down such a tightly defended border, thousands of people would die, but this time it was actually done easily. He nodded and said: "This is indeed not Fried's style. When I was in St. Vicoia, the military discipline there was more of a form of etiquette. Although there are very strict military disciplines and laws in the army, they are all Scope-based, such as not allowed to drink alcohol during wartime and not allowed to commit adultery. "Female, you are not allowed to rob civilians of their property. There are no specific details about how to wear clothes or how to clean the house. Although I still don't understand the use of this, the effect seems to be obvious."
Rose Hug. Chest said: "So I will I’m even more curious, who are the people above Fried?”
Calasias knows something about it, but it’s not convenient to tell his subordinates now, so he only said: “Advisor, tell me about the battle situation here? Prepare a briefing note and send it to the Generalissimo, and then write another one. A detailed battle report was sent. Volo was the first to take credit for this battle, and Rose was the second." Rose raised her blond hair and smiled: "General, I don't dare to take credit. I just came up with an idea casually, and there was no battlefield. ”
...
On the southeastern edge of the desert, in the golden sand, there are several damaged and half-collapsed houses. The sand dragon is sitting on the damaged eaves, looking at everything deserted here in boredom. Three weeks ago, he had a fight with another group of sand bandits in the desert. As a result, he was defeated and his men were scattered. Some of his former subordinates defected directly to the enemy, and the treasures he had accumulated over the years were also taken away. His subordinates and outsiders swept him away.
He looked blankly at the village that he had robbed. The ruins here were just like him at the moment. Of course, he is not at the end of his rope yet. He still has a modest deposit in the World Bank. Although it has been frozen, it is still his. In another unknown place, he also hid a sum of money. This money won't make him rich, but it won't make him impoverished either. Being cunning and avoiding three caves, if you have been a sand pirate for a long time, you will always prepare yourself an extra escape route.
But he is not thinking about how to regroup now. He felt a little sad, no, not sad, but a little empty. Everything he had worked so hard to get was lost, and the men he had trapped were scattered like sand in the wind. He was thinking about what he had gained in these years?
No, nothing. Except for that small amount of money, he could no longer find anything worth cherishing. He stood up sadly, but his tall figure seemed to be unable to straighten up. The morning sun shone his curved figure on the golden sand. He felt that he had become much older these days and was no longer as full as before. vitality. Even though he is only 36 years old now.
He has been here for a few days and now wants to leave. He can't stay here forever, not to mention he is already very hungry. If a person is hungry, it means he is not dead yet, it means he is still alive. Sha Jiao realized that he was a living person, so he had to find something to eat for himself.
A few people suddenly came from the east, three to be exact, three people riding strong horses. There are many people riding horses in the desert, but most of them are on the edge of the desert, like here. But there was nothing worth visiting here, and those three people didn't look like they were just short-distance traders, because their horses didn't carry any goods. Unlike travelers passing by, they came with a purpose, because they were heading this way.
Besides the abandoned shabby houses, there is only Sha Jiao himself.
As the horse approached, Sha Jiao saw clearly who was coming. ‘Mummy’ and ‘Gladiator’, and a guy he hates, the demon thief Abz.
"Hey, Sha Jiao, we're here to see you." The mummy took the lead in saying hello and got off his horse.
Sha Jiao squatted on the roof, looked at them coldly, and said nothing.
"You seem to be in a bad mood." The gladiator said, raising his head.
Ablan chuckled under the silver-black metal mask: "Humph, he was beaten into a polished commander, how can he be in a good mood?"
The sand dragon stared at Abu viciously. At a glance, this man talks like the person he is, which is annoying. So Sha Jiao spoke: "Why did you two come with this guy?"
"Shouldn't you ask why we found you?" The mummy had a smile in his eyes.
Sha Jiao snorted: "You must be so lucky to think of finding me here."
The mummy smiled and said: "You often mentioned this place before, have you forgotten? You said this is your place. The first village that was robbed was also from here. From now on, you have become a real sand pirate."
"Have I ever told you these things? I don't remember." , brought a nasty person here and made him very unhappy.
The mummy said: "So I wonder if this is the end of your career as a sand pirate?"
Sha Jiaojun raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean? You want to be here?" Fight with me? Get rid of me. I have nothing left."
The mummy waved his hand and said: "No, you misunderstood. I mean, can we change our profession to something else?"
"We, change our profession?"
"Yes." The mummy said: "Being a bandit in the desert is so... For many years, time has always repeated yesterday. I have had enough of this kind of life. I want to change my life and live a different life. ”
