Chapter 274 [The Guest is Strong and the Host is Weak]


"Then run" Several of the old officers who stayed behind made a decision "Then run" All the officers and men of the Sixth Corps shouted in the same voice Once they began to plan their escape, the soldiers of the Sixth Corps were immediately inspired by the infinite inspiration of which people to straighten out the supplies, which people to take a detour, which people to break off, and which people to set up doubts and formations As a result, Hastings once again learned the ability of the Sixth Corps to escape.

When the Black Flag Army ran to the garrison of the Sixth Corps, it only occupied a large battalion that had been almost emptied Subsequently, history once again proved a truth: when a collective is united, the energy that bursts out is strong, great, amazing, and miraculous, and then in the process of pursuit, the Sixth Corps first used a small river to block the river with discarded materials and ordnance to make a dam, and when the advance of the Black Flag Army pursued, they saw hundreds of soldiers of the Sixth Corps sitting lazily on the river beach on the other side of the river basking in the sun, and flags and weapons were thrown all over the ground.

Faced with such a situation, the forward of the Black Flag Army was so shocked that he did not dare to step forward, and sent someone to quickly report to the rear Hastings to ask for orders, and the experienced Hastings sneered when they heard this: "Hmph, I want to take advantage of the time when our army crosses the river to attack it" and then ordered the front army not to rush forward, and confronted the Sixth Corps across the river.

That night, the Sixth Corps dug a dam upstream, and the river water was immediately washed away and annihilated, and a muddy river beach downstream blocked the pursuers of the Black Flag Army, and the Sixth Corps fled.

Hastings was furious and personally led 3,000 cavalry in pursuit, but as a result, he followed the Sixth Corps into a valley and picked up countless banners and weapons.

But as a result, the rabbits of the Sixth Corps, taking advantage of their familiarity with the terrain, led the Black Flag Army around the mountains for three days.

As a result, after the Sixth Corps ran out of the mountain, the lost Black Flag Army still went around the mountain for two more days before escaping.

Fortunately, Hastings quickly came to his senses and ordered the old horses in the army to lead the way in front of the team, and finally walked out of this mountain.

But then he got even more surprising news from Hasting, who came out of the mountains, this group of guys from the Sixth Corps did not escape, but turned south, waved their troops towards the county capital of Nods, and took advantage of Hasting's time to return to the army, captured the capital city of Nods County in one fell swoop, and killed the county guard who had surrendered before, looted all the mules, horses, carts, etc. in the city, and set fire to the city wall before leaving.

When Hastings arrived with his troops, he was left with a ruined city defense and a treasury that had been reduced to ashes.

At this moment, if you want to pursue again, the Sixth Corps, which has obtained a large number of mules, horses and carts, has completely improved in terms of mobility, and it is even more difficult to catch up with this army that is good at escaping.

The Sixth Corps finally rushed out of Nods County, and the army came all the way east, and it was even more flexible to divide into three roads, avoiding the interception and pursuit of the Black Flag Army, and running out of Nods County After that, the Sixth Corps gave full play to its ability to march quickly, and ran more than 400 miles in three days, and had already entered Moore County yesterday.

At this moment, knowing that the county garrison of Moore County had not yet fallen, several leaders of the Sixth Corps consulted and sent Glen Charles to contact.

"We know that it is a violation of military law to escape from the battle, and although we have a hard time, we are afraid that others will not think much of it.

We are now running out of food and grass, our soldiers are tired, and our savings have been replenished, so we can only try our luck in Denzel City.

But he had to hide his identity and lied that it was the Seventh Corps, but he didn't expect that the defender of Denzel City was actually Lord Char. ” After Glen Charles finished speaking with a sad face, he looked at Char with a blank eye: "My lord, I remember the friendship in the past, and please raise your noble hand, our brothers in the Sixth Corps are not afraid of death, but they know that it is a matter of sending them to death, so it is better to leave a useful body."

When Char heard this, the joy on his face could no longer be hidden, and he glanced at Green, seeing that Green also reacted in the same way as himself, he swallowed his saliva: "Where is your big army now, how many people are there?"

"Just a few days away from the city of Denzel, there are still more than 8,600 people in the whole army, but there are only 400 horses left, and 200 carts."

Glen Charles was a little helpless: "We ran too fast, the loss of horses was too serious, and there was no food and grass replenishment along the way, so we could only kill horses to replenish food, and the cart was also seriously damaged and now everyone can't run, if we can't get a chance to breathe, I'm afraid we can't support it anymore." ” Looking at Glen Char with a sad face, Char and Green looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Char hugged Glen Char, patted him on the back hard, and said loudly: "Don't worry about the people of your Sixth Corps, I have accepted me to eat and drink here, although the city of Denzel is not big, but the city is well defended and the armament is sufficient, enough to deal with the Odin."

Glen Charles was overjoyed when he heard this, but then his face changed: "But after all, we have lost Nods County, the responsibility of losing the land, and the crime of escaping."

Green smiled on the side: "This is simple, Char is the commander of the military of Moore County, according to the imperial law, the county garrison chief can act cheaply in wartime, let Char write an official letter, and declare that he learned that the county defense of Nods County has surrendered to the enemy, and Odin is strong, please transfer the Sixth Corps to withdraw to Moore County to cooperate in defensive operations."

With this name, the above can also be explained. ” Char also smiled: "Yes, yes, Lao Tzu is the county garrison chief, and you can write this official document as you want." ” The smile on Green's face faded, and he said in a low voice: "Besides, it doesn't matter whether this official document is written or not.

After this war, it is still doubtful whether the empire will survive, and when the time comes, where will there be people to hold you accountable. ” Having said that, in order to appease the morale of the soldiers of the Sixth Corps, this official document still had to be written, and Char immediately asked Green to write a copy, and after signing it himself, he asked Green to go to the Sixth Corps with Glen Charles to meet and bring the troops to Denzel City to return to the division.

Green is quite famous among the emperors, and with him in the background, presumably those guys in the Sixth Corps will not have many doubts.

After Green left, Char was in a good situation in the center of the city, and he originally only had a few hundred old and weak in his hands, but with the surrender of Nene and the joining of the Sixth Corps, his strength jumped to more than 10,000 Moreover, the two thousand horse thieves in the interior are elite cavalry, not to mention, the Sixth Corps is a real standing army of the central reserve of the empire, but an army that Ruhr has trained for many years, and the quality of the army is far better than that of ordinary local garrisons.

At this moment, the city of Denzel is well equipped and there is no shortage of food, with tens of thousands of troops to hold on, plus the famous general Grimm as the commander of the town, even if there are several times as many enemies attacking the city, Char is confident that it will hold on for a year and a half After Green left, the garrison in the city was running rapidly, Cato, the smuggler in the former Rhodria cavalry corps, was appointed by Char as the quartermaster, and Sharpa was sent to reorganize the group of horse thieves, although those horse thieves were elite, but Sharba was the elite of the Rhodria cavalry, and he should be able to suppress those guys.

The big and small affairs in the city are pressed on Char's body, he has not been a serious imperial official for a day before, so many things have been pressed down at once, it is inevitable that he is a little busy, city defense and military affairs, supply control in the city, there are dozens of big and small things to him decide every day, fortunately, he also has a Philip under him, who was also the leader of the Great Samurai Order in the past, and he has some experience as a leader, so he can barely stabilize the situation.

In addition, Char also selected a hundred horse thieves to serve as scouts, patrolling around the city of Denzel to listen to the enemy's situation, and expanding the range of scouts to fifty miles.

With these scouts acting as eyes and ears, news from outside soon kept coming back.

After Manninger's Red Snow Army captured the city of Mesta, because it could not get sufficient supplies, Manninger left 5,000 men to garrison the city of Mesta, and then continued to move south, the main force had left the county of Mor, all the way south, into the southern neighboring county, and the front of the army was directly aimed at the 7th Corps stationed there.

At the same time, the rebels of the two Tema Military Regions in the south also began to advance towards the Seventh Corps, which was facing the dilemma of being surrounded.

Char just prayed every day that the Seventh Corps could support more days and buy himself more respite.

During this period, Philip found an opportunity to have a deep conversation with Char in private.

Philip is quite worried about his current situation, and he is afraid that there is no way out for him to hold on to Denzel City, because there are no allies on the left and right at the moment, and it is the sphere of influence of the Odin and the rebels.

Tiny Moore is like a boat in the middle of the ocean.

In Philip's thoughts, it was better to reorganize the army, follow the example of the Sixth Corps in abandoning Nods County, and move south, detour southwest, and march towards Osgilia, as long as it can join the army of King Qin of the Empire, at that time, there may be hope.

This idea made Char's heart flutter for a while, but then he immediately dispelled this thought.

"Not to mention the long way to the south, can our men and horses break through the encirclement and interception, and successfully reach Osgilia to join the Imperial Central Army.

Even if you can really run to Osgilia, will it be safe, although Osgilia has gathered most of the current forces of the empire, it is still at a disadvantage.

In other words, the situation of Osgillia is not much different from our Denzel City, or even worse.

You say that our city of Denzel is now like a small ship in the middle of the ocean, with enemies on the left and right in front of us.

But isn't that the case with Osgilia, Osgilia is now a ship in the ocean, but this ship is a little bigger, but the pressure on them is ten times more than ours.

Char said this and looked at Philip: "I'll tell you a heart-wrenching word, we can still breathe here now, because Osgillia is still holding out, and Osgillia has attracted all the strength of the rebels."

Once Osculia is breached, we don't really have a big deal here.

When the time comes, everyone will disperse in a hurry and go home to farm. ” Hearing this, Philip thought for a while and asked Char, "My lord, do you think Osgilia can hold it?"

Char listened, hehe laughed a few times, and did not answer this question, but instead looked out the window, looked at the south, and said leisurely: "I don't care about this problem, I care more about the life and death of a certain guy."

If that guy was still alive, maybe this situation would have been turned around."

Philip opened his mouth, he naturally didn't know who the "guy" Char was thinking about was, but then Char's expression became serious: "I have one thing I want you to do This thing is very dangerous, and the responsibility is arduous, to be honest, I didn't want to send you, but I don't have many people now, bold and careful, and good candidates, you are the only one who can think of it." ” Philip's eyes lit up: "My lord, please speak" "I need you to go to Osgilia" Char said in a low voice: "The rebels and the imperial army are fighting a decisive battle in Yanjing, and the central standing army must have all rushed to Yanjing to King Qin, and at this moment, the Rhodrian cavalry must also be in Osgilia."

I heard that the crown prince had already been sent to the Rhodrian cavalry corps, and I think this was one of the old emperor's followers.

Why did you let you break through the enemy and fight into the city, you don't have the ability to do this.

However, in my opinion, that Ruhr guy is extremely cunning, and will never lead troops into the city, most likely to have the whole army stationed outside the city, echoing with the defenders in the city, and confronting the rebels.

I need you to find them, go to the Rhodelia cavalry camp, and then meet Ruhr and explain to him what we are doing here. ” Philip looked serious and nodded: "And what?"

Char sighed: "First, at this moment, I'm afraid that everyone else thinks that the northern part of the empire has fallen, you must let them know that there is still us in the north who is holding on to this second, I need you to help me ask for an appointment order from the crown prince."

Philip's face changed suddenly.

Char shook his head and said, "When it is difficult, the crown prince can exercise power instead of the emperor.

There are too many people under us now, and there are other garrisons in the Sixth Corps, I am just a county garrison chief, and my military position is only at the flag and regiment level, without a name and identity, how can I order them Although the crown prince Garcia hates me to death, but at the moment, the overall situation is important, and Ruhl is on the side, and that fat man will also help you.

In short, this commission must be obtained, otherwise, even if we bring all the Sixth Corps, we will not be able to command this nest of rabbits."

After a pause, he said in a low voice: "If you don't get the appointment order, you can retreat and let Ruhr write a letter by himself, Ruer is the old boss of the Sixth Corps, and most of the Sixth Corps were trained by him, and with his handwritten letter, he can barely suppress these guys."

As for the contents of the letter, you and Ruhl have made our situation clear here, this fat man is smarter than anyone else, and he knows how to write it. ” After saying this, Char took a deep breath and glared at Philip: "On this trip, you will have to go through many enemy areas alone, thousands of miles away, and you may encounter various dangers in the middle.

If you have any other thoughts, I don't blame you.

I can give you a word today, Philip, you and I don't have to talk about the previous grievances, if you do this great thing, from now on, I, Char Leiming, will treat you as a brother."

Philip's eyes flashed, and he didn't say anything more, and after glancing at Char, he suddenly pulled out the short knife at his waist, slammed it heavily on the table, and then held his head high, turned around and walked out After Philip left, Char stood there, looking at the short knife on the table, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, when he and this Philip first met, everyone was friend or foe, and then he abolished his hand, but saved his life, and it was really difficult to distinguish the grievances in the middle.

After a while, Dora's voice came to my head: "Hey, boy, do you really think Osgilia can hold it?"

Char smiled: "To be honest, I don't think I can hold it either." ” Dora wondered, "Then why are you still so sure?"

"I don't have faith in the royal family, but I have faith in the old guy.

It doesn't matter whether that guy is dead or alive, even if he is really dead, he will not leave anything behind.

This kind of person, as a rule, is terrible to live and even more terrible to die.

Char smiled: "The first time I saw Cavishir, I decided that he was a kind of person. ” "Which one" "The kind of madman who drags his enemies to die with him even if he dies."

Char's face was indifferent.

Three days later, Green really came with the Sixth Corps, and the whole army of the Sixth Corps looked embarrassed.

However, Char did not dare to underestimate these people in the slightest.

The reason is simple: if it were him, he could not guarantee that he could do the same thing: escape unharmed by the encirclement and interception of Hasting's Black Flag Army.

The Sixth Corps was also stationed in the city.

With the arrival of the Sixth Corps, the first and most obvious change was that the rebellious horse thieves in the city immediately became much more honest in their attitudes.

Although Nene has already expressed his attitude, after all, there are still many of these horse thieves who are quite unconvinced.

The original defenders in the city were too few, just a few hundred miscellaneous soldiers.

Many horse thieves feel that they are too co-opted by such an imperial team.

There are even some horse thieves who still feel in their hearts: With such a few hundred miscellaneous soldiers, it is better for us to adopt them than for them to absorb us.

The strong guest and the weak host will inevitably give birth to other thoughts in the hearts of these proud horse thieves.

Now that more than 8,000 officers and soldiers of the Sixth Corps were stationed in the city, the horse thieves' minds were finally truly settled.

Although the Sixth Corps is also a "guest" in the strict sense, it is also an imperial officer after all.
