Chapter 34
Jiu Ling'er faced the swarming enemies, and looked at the excited and almost crazy faces of Uwaite and Cusette. He had no choice but to retreat quickly.
He suddenly thought of himself struggling in the raging river.He is now like the leaf in the surging river, rolling and sinking helplessly with the waves, facing disaster at any time.
Jimmys and several soldiers overthrew the cauldrons in the center of the first square after the main city wall (between the main city wall and the second city wall is the first square, between the second and third city walls is the second square), Boiling oil was poured onto the ground and overflowed in all directions.They lifted the fire barrel that was still burning and threw it into the kerosene.When the kerosene touched the scattered firewood, it burst into flames with a "boom", and the flames flew into the air, instantly illuminating the entire square.
Under the command of Hulu Nage, the Kusaite soldiers standing on the tower fired a volley.Hundreds of arrows roared into the night sky, and all of them shot into the fire in the center of the square.
Jiu Ling'er was stopped by the fire, so she had to muster up her remaining courage and charged into the enemy's line again.But he was really like a leaf being carried by the strong wind, and he was immediately dizzy by the raging wind, and then he was carried by the flow of people, bypassing the fire in the center of the square, and ran towards the main castle.
Jiu Ling'er saw Jimmys.Jimmys fell to the ground, waving his hands for help in the air, and screamed in pain.The fire was slowly approaching him.Jiu Ling'er only felt that she was like a pile of dry sticks that had been ignited, and her whole body was burning with anger.A howl like a beast came out of his mouth.He rushed to the scene of fire and leaned towards Jimmys step by step.Drenched in blood, Jiu Ling'er chopped down the last enemy standing in front of her, and jumped into the flames.
The fire had reached Jimmys.Jiu Ling'er supported Jimis with both hands, roared angrily, carried him onto her shoulders and rushed out of the sea of flames.He hugged Jimmys on his shoulder with one hand, swung the knife with the other, and the roar in his mouth was no longer a human voice.He suddenly rushed into the middle of the enemy soldiers.When the enemy saw a ball of fire roaring from behind, they stepped aside one after another, allowing the lunatic with disheveled hair to kill him all the way.This lunatic was their god of death from the beginning, the battle was almost over, and he wasn't dead yet.Anyone who met him face-to-face was terrified by him.Let him run, he's going to die soon anyway.
Jimmys endured the pain like a piercing heart, tried his best, and called out to Jiu Ling'er in a hoarse voice: "Promise me, you will take care of Omina for the rest of your life, for the rest of your life."
Jiu Ling'er ran wildly, "I promise you, I promise you, you won't die, you won't die!"
"You... swear..." Jimmys' voice was getting weaker and weaker.
"I swear!" Jiu Ling'er roared vigorously.
"I swear!" Jiu Ling'er felt that Jimis was dead.He ran wildly, tears streaming down his face involuntarily, and he shouted nervously all the way: "I swear, I swear..."
Jiu Ling'er ran to the main castle at the fastest speed.The giant gate of the main castle was tightly closed.Jiu Ling'er's heart was ashamed, and she no longer cared about her own life.He put Jimmys down and slapped the flames hard on him.
"Jimmy...Miss! Jim...Miss..." Jiu Ling'er hugged him into her arms and shouted loudly.Jimmys was pierced through the chest by seven or eight long arrows from behind, and was dead.He tightly grasped the delicate little box in his hand.The locket was soaked and red with Jimmys' blood.
At this time, the huge closed door behind it made a loud "creak..." sound, and the closed door was opening.
Thousands of enemies who came running to see the signs of opening the closed door all roared in unison and quickened their running pace.The closed door is slowly opening, opening wider and wider.Suddenly, the pace of the enemy running ahead slowed down.They couldn't believe their eyes, they stared at the second square inside the city gate in surprise, completely ignoring Jiu Ling'er who was sitting on the ground.
Sikanis closed his eyes in relief.After he was carried to the main castle by Uncle Tiza, he saw Faron, Inspector of Cylonia, and Luzes, Mayor of Corenia. The three thousand troops led by the two adults were continuously passing through the third city wall. The gates of the city gathered and lined up on the second square one after another.He heard the thunderous sound of war drums.He knew that Coriniasai would not fall, and would return to the hands of the Karads.
The gate of the main castle is fully opened.Thousands of torches were lit on the second square inside, illuminating the dark night as bright as day.The second square was densely packed with heavily armed soldiers.At the front of the queue, in the middle of the city gate, stood a thin and dry old man in common clothes. He looked very haggard, but he was in good spirits.At his waist was a longsword, and in his hand was Callard's double-eagle battle standard.
The soldiers of the Kuman coalition stopped in their tracks.They were stunned.They couldn't believe what they saw.They did not understand how reinforcements from the Kharad Empire had suddenly appeared in Corintha.
On the tower of the main city wall, Hulu Nage and his soldiers are still cheering!Under the tower, Wuchahan was sitting on the ground, discussing with Humeng how to capture the main fort.In the square of Corinhas, the soldiers crowded behind were still shouting wildly.On the tower of the main city wall, the sound of ox horns resounded through the sky.On the main castle, the sound of war drums was earth-shattering.
Faron raised the battle flag in his hand, turned his head and shouted: "Children, follow me to take back Coriniaser, kill..."
The soldiers behind shouted in unison: "Kill... ah..."
The old man Faron was the first to rush into the first square of Corinhasai.The soldiers behind them were like fierce tigers descending the mountain, raising their weapons high, roaring like thunder, like an avalanche, and charged into the enemy's formation without hesitation with the aura of thunder.
Jiu Ling'er knelt on the ground, staring blankly at everything in front of him, he couldn't believe it was real.
Faron who was passing by gave Jiu Ling'er a hard kick, "Son, stand up and follow me, let's take back Coriniasai, kill..."
Jiu Ling'er rolled and scrambled, stood up from the ground, and was immediately engulfed by the torrent behind her, rushing towards the enemy involuntarily.
The sound of horns on the towers of the main city wall disappeared from the air in an instant.Hulu Nage and the soldiers were dumbfounded.incredible.For a while, they still couldn't wake up from the great joy of victory.
Uchahan and Hu staggered up the stone steps, their eyes wide open.Fall short, fall short.
"Retreat. Retreat immediately." Hu Meng shouted loudly.
"No." Wuchahan stared at a pair of blood-red eyes, and yelled frantically, "Fight, fight with them."
"Your Majesty, you've run out of people. What's the use of occupying such a stone city? Withdraw." Hu Meng shouted in anxiety.
At this time, Hulu Nage on the tower of the main city wall had already ordered his subordinates to sound the horn of retreat without hesitation, and the whole army retreated.The soldiers woke up from the shock and retreated down the tower like a tide.
Faron raised the battle flag high and walked firmly in the middle of the team step by step.Although he doesn't know martial arts and can't fight on the front line, he feels that his actions can inspire the brave fighters around him and inspire them to fight the enemy bravely regardless of their own safety.He is a member of the royal family, and his full name is Faron Petros.He rose to Inspector Silonia by gradual exhaustion.Farong was a clean, fair and benevolent official with remarkable achievements and won the hearts of the people.The surrounding soldiers consciously surrounded him, not letting an enemy approach their Lord Inspector.Long arrows shot from time to time from the darkness.The warriors walking in front of Faron did not hide or give way. They would rather fall down with an arrow than let an arrow hit Faron.
Faron looked at the fallen soldiers, his heart was bleeding, he waved the battle flag, summoned all his strength and shouted: "Children, for Karad, kill..."
More and more soldiers passed through the gate under the main castle and poured into the first square of Koreniasai, killing the enemy overwhelmingly.The soldiers of the Karad Empire were as powerful as a rainbow, and their killing sounds shook the sky.After being stimulated by great joy and sorrow, the soldiers of the Kuman coalition army were depressed and had no morale. Coupled with the fierce resistance of the soldiers of the imperial army, the sound of their own retreat horns resounded through the night sky, which finally led to the overall defeat.
Humeng led fifty soldiers to stand on the top floor of the marble steps of the main city wall to block the attack, covering the army's rapid retreat from the city wall.Things in the world are really unpredictable.It was the soldiers of the Karad Empire, led by Chi Aiting, who stopped them from rushing down the stone steps.In a blink of an eye, it turned into a fierce tiger leading the Cusaite soldiers to stop the Karad soldiers from attacking the stone steps.
The gate of the main city wall of Coriniasai was filled by the fortress defenders from the inside to the outside with soil bags. The 6-meter-thick soil bag had to be carried for a long time even if it was carried outside.Hu Meng had already thought of it, so he didn't plan to attack the city gate at all. Not only would it be futile, but it would also incur a lot of losses.But now how much he hopes that the door can be opened.Now he and the coalition soldiers have only one way to escape, and that is to climb over the main city wall and climb down from the ladder.
Due to the darkness and the crowds, the soldiers were flustered and disorganized, the towers were in chaos, and many soldiers fell to their deaths and were injured.The soldiers were all squeezed under the stone steps and could not go up for a while.The soldiers of Calad who rushed to the front engaged in a bloody battle with Cusit Uwait's blocking force.Often in order to fight for a small step, it takes the lives of more than a dozen soldiers.
The battle flag in Faron's hand was taken over by his subordinates.The overall situation of Coriniasai has been decided, and he is going to see those who survived the defense of Coriniasai.
Jiu Ling'er was the first to rush up the tower.His saber flew up and down around Hu Meng, forcing him to retreat step by step.Hu Meng's sweat mixed with blood drenched his whole body.Jiu Ling'er quickly pushed him to the edge of the city wall.Beyond the main city wall is the ladder.The surrounding enemy soldiers roared frantically, all rushing forward to occupy these escape positions.A large number of Calad soldiers stepped on the corpses of their comrades and rushed to the tower.
Jiu Ling'er turned around suddenly, roared, and swung her knife to meet the other people around, completely ignoring the tiger behind her.Hu Meng suddenly understood, he turned over and jumped onto the city wall, and quickly escaped.
Immediately, Jiu Ling'er leaned her back against the city wall, firmly occupying a favorable position, and never let an enemy go.Facing Humeng, he couldn't make a move.Hu Meng is the confidant of Grand Marshal Mulek and a good friend of Uncle Adaku Rum Atlantis, he can't take his life.After killing Humeng, the old man would definitely call himself an ungrateful villain.Without the old man, I would not be where I am today.Jiu Ling'er decided to let the tiger go.In this way, the old man will not scold himself if he knows it under Jiuquan.
Standing under the city, Hulu Nage looked like a general, and he kept ordering the trumpeter to blow the trumpet to gather troops.At this time, we must not be chaotic, we must be steady, and we must give the soldiers confidence.Isn't it just that the siege failed, and it wasn't that the whole tribe was killed, so why panic.
It didn't take long, and the soldiers who were still in shock gradually regained their self-confidence, and no longer had the sense of fear of impending disaster just now.The soldiers who fled to the city began to regroup under the command of the Horn.On the city wall, soldiers escaped down the ladder one after another.
Uchahan was lying on the ground, his face pale.Jiu Ling'er's knife was too domineering, and it hurt him very badly.
Hu Meng was in a bad mood and extremely depressed.The number of troops attacking Coriniaser reached 1000 people. After losing thousands of people, they didn't even get a single brick from Coriniaser.He didn't know how things could turn out like this.He didn't know how he was going to face Mulek.
Hulu Nage ordered the troops to prepare for archery.His subordinates suspected that they had heard wrong, and turned to look at their leader.
Hulu Nage gave him a whip right from the start.Immediately, the horn of the attack tore through the dark night, and sounded again under the city of Corinia.
"Order, shoot all the arrows that can be shot here for me." Hulu Nage said coldly.
"My lord, there are still hundreds of brothers up there who haven't come down." Once again his subordinates suspected that they had heard wrong, and opened their mouths to exclaim.
Hulu Nage didn't hit him this time, but looked at the tragic battlefield with figures flying over the city tower, smiled wryly, pointed to the hundreds of ladders leaning on the city wall, and said sadly: "They can't escape."
There was no one on the ladder.On the city wall, more than 1000 imperial soldiers surrounded hundreds of coalition soldiers who had not had time to escape, and the two sides were fighting fiercely.Jiu Ling'er leaned against the base of the city wall, exhausted, staring feebly at the bloody battlefield in front of her.
Hulunage roared loudly: "Let it go..., let's fire continuously..."
Nearly 2000 soldiers who escaped stood in a neat line with extremely strong hatred, and shot an arrow to vent their anger towards the wall of Corinia.The long arrow whistled in the dark night, flew into the darkness, flew up the tower, and shot into all places that could be pierced after touching.
The city wall suddenly fell into chaos.Some of the Callad soldiers fled in all directions like birds and beasts, some rolled and crawled to hide under the city wall, some lay down on the ground and put the corpse on their body, some panicked and looked at the corridor and ran wildly to escape to In the fortress, there are also those who regard death as home and raise their knives to entangle and kill the enemy.But the speed of escape is far less than that of Changjian.Batch after batch of long arrows poured violently on the Korenia City Tower like a violent storm without any pause at all.No life can escape.The people on the tower were like leeks cut off with a knife, falling down one after another.
Looking at the terrifying scene in front of her, Jiu Ling'er laughed wildly.He wanted to die but had no chance.He has been killing and killing people all the time, but now he is sitting at the root of the city wall, out of reach of long arrows.He wants to die with them, to live is to kill, to be killed, life is meaningless.
Jiu Ling'er struggled to support her body, ready to climb into the fierce arrow rain.Suddenly, he saw Jimmys' delicate little box, the little box stained red by Jimmys' blood.He froze for a moment.
The soldiers of the Kuman coalition army buried all the remains of the dead soldiers at the foot of Mount Tanis that night, and then slowly withdrew with the wounded soldiers, a large number of siege equipment, and supplies.After losing nearly 9000 men, they returned home in a disastrous defeat.
Hurunag's final blow dealt a heavy blow to the morale-high reinforcements of the Karad army.If you stick to the city for ten days, the entire army will be wiped out, and only 800 people will be wiped out.However, Hulunag's fierce final blow caused heavy casualties to the Karade army in an instant. In addition to the loss in the square, the 1000 reinforcements lost more than [-] people in less than an hour.The ferocity of the Uwaites and Kussets deeply shocked the Karad army.
The defense of Coriniasai is finally over.
The next day, Jiu Ling'er was woken up by someone pushing her on the tower.Looking at the smiling but very unfamiliar face, he couldn't understand what happened for a while.He wants to sleep.
"Are you the captain of the alliance, Black Axe?" asked the middle-aged man with a sword.
Jiu Ling'er shook her head.The burly man in front of him was of medium build, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, three slender beards, and a square face that looked elegant yet majestic.
Seeing Jiu Ling'er shaking her head, the man hesitated.He took a closer look, and then pushed Jiu Ling'er who fell asleep on his head again.Jiu Ling'er tried her best to open her heavy eyelids and looked at him in bewilderment.
"Are you Captain Black Axe?"
Jiu Ling'er shook her head resolutely.
"Then you are the squadron leader Black Axe?"
Jiu Ling'er's mind went blank.He bowed his head and thought for a while, only to remember that Ulphie, the captain of the company, had told him that he was the squadron leader.But there were not many soldiers, and Ulfi asked him to lead people to patrol the city wall at night.
He smiled shyly at the man and nodded.
"I have ordered you to go to the main castle to discuss important matters." The man bowed politely and said loudly.
Jiu Ling'er couldn't turn the corner for a moment, looked at him blankly, and asked, "Who is your Excellency?"
"This is Xio Yifu, the military assistant of Lord Inspector." Xio Yifu replied very politely.
Jiu Ling'er saw that the other party had been tepid, soft-spoken, and polite, but her appearance was very rude, so she hurriedly stood up and saluted the other party, "My name is Atlantis Jiu Bell. Everyone calls me Black Axe."
Xiao Yifu laughed, his eyes showed admiration for Jiu Ling'er.The two then walked to the main castle together, chatting casually on the way.Jiu Ling'er noticed that Theo Yifu had a gentle temperament, and he was also very modest and cautious.
On the main city wall, the remains of soldiers from both sides had been buried overnight, and many people were scrubbing the blood on the ground and repairing the damaged tower.On the square, more soldiers were cleaning the battlefield.The fire in the center of the First Square last night burned a huge piece of the ground black.
"My lord, do you know how many people we have left?" Jiu Ling'er asked softly.
"You are the only officer above the squadron leader and 230 or two soldiers left in the entire Corinia Fortress Army. Among them, there are more than 200 people in the Severely Wounded. The entire fortress defenders have been defeated." Xio Yifu said sadly Said.
Jiu Ling'er fell silent.
"Lord Overseer..."
"Passed away last night. Overseer Sikanis was seriously injured, and the doctors and nurses couldn't do anything."
Jiu Ling'er came to the main castle and knelt on the ground, her whole body was covered in blood, emitting a strong fishy smell.
The two high officials hurriedly got him up.Luzes, the mayor of Corenia, looked very kind. He first praised Jiulinger, and then introduced him to Inspector Faron of Silonia.
Jiu Ling'er was a little surprised to see that he was the old man who kicked her yesterday.It is unimaginable for a senior official like a district inspector to wear a cloth dress and a pair of cloth shoes.
Jiu Ling'er knelt down again to salute.
"Before Lord Sicanis left, he strongly recommended you to us, saying that you are versatile in both civil and military affairs, and you will definitely be the pillar of our empire in the future. We have also heard a lot about you, and you are really a young hero." Faron was very pleased. happy.
"Your Excellency's praise is ridiculous. I just did some duty, and I don't have any outstanding achievements." Jiu Ling'er blushed at Faron's praise, and said hastily.
"Don't be humble. Sikanis has already told us that you are a snow-capped savage who was captured by the Cusitites with two black wooden tokens. Recently, you, a savage, have gained a lot of fame in the eastern border of the empire, and your head is too high." It's priceless. I just didn't expect to be so young." Faron and Luzes looked at each other and smiled.
"Because you are more familiar with the situation of Coriniaser than we are, and now you have been promoted to the captain of the fortress, so we want to ask how many people Coriniaser should send to garrison it is more appropriate." Luzes said pleasantly .
"Returning to the two adults, Wuchahan has suffered heavy losses this time, and the loss of personnel and materials is huge. It is difficult to do anything in the short term. And the Kusaites, with the heart of tigers and wolves, are always thinking about invading our Karad Empire. There is still the possibility of an attack within a certain period of time. So I think 3600 people is a basic number.”
Faron and Luzes looked embarrassed and did not continue talking.
"However, there is a way to make the Kusaites completely give up the idea of invading from Corinia."
Faron and Luzes exchanged a look of surprise, and almost at the same time waved for him to continue talking.
"The troops of the Kusaites first stationed in the Chidori Ranch, and when they arrived at the Wild Flower Valley, many cavalry had dismounted and turned into infantry in order to attack the city. All their horses stayed in the Chidori Ranch, and at least five Thousands of war horses. If you add the war horses of the later reinforcements, there may be seven thousand to eight thousand war horses in Chidori Ranch. My lord, do you know what this means? As long as we take them all, we can quickly Form a strong cavalry team, and we can fight these Uwaites and Kussets in a decisive battle on the grassland."
"The Kussets lost these horses, and they also lost [-] to [-] cavalrymen. In addition, they lost at least [-] soldiers in Coriniasai this time. In terms of conversion, the Kussets lost unprecedentedly huge. I am afraid that within three or four years, they will have no hope of turning over. Of course, this only refers to the central and southern Kusaite."
"Almost all of the [-] troops of the Uwaites were lost in Corenia. If he wants to recover, he will not be able to recover in a few years. Once the power that threatens the safety of Corenia no longer exists, we will You can free up your hands to deal with other troops invading the Karad Empire."
"The sudden and unbelievable defeat of the Kusaites under the complete victory this time is a devastating blow to their morale. They hurriedly withdrew to the Chidori Ranch overnight. The soldiers must be exhausted and urgently need rest and adjustment .And Uchahan and Hulunag’s troops suffered such a heavy blow, and they were exhausted physically and mentally, so they must have neglected to take precautions. So their vigilance is the worst at this time.”
"They take it for granted that we have also suffered a major blow. It is impossible for Coriniaser's defensive strength to recover in a short period of time. Indeed, we cannot recover in a short period of time, because the reinforcements brought by the two adults also suffered heavy losses. According to Ku Seth's idea, we will hide in the fortress and recover as much as possible. They always think that we Caladians are cowardly and cowardly, and they dare not take the initiative to attack easily. The monitoring will definitely be very negligent.”
"So, at this moment, our sudden attack on Chidori Ranch will greatly surprise the enemy, and the chance of winning should be more than [-]%."
Inspector Faron of Silonia stroked his goatee and fell silent.Luzes, the mayor of Corenia, looked cloudy and uncertain, his eyes were looking at the roof, wondering what he was thinking.
After Jiu Ling'er finished speaking, she waited patiently for a while, and saw that they still had no response, so she knelt down again and said loudly: "My lord, this matter cannot be delayed. I only need [-] riders, and I can go to sneak attack tonight pasture!"
Faron remained silent.Luzes smiled slightly, and said to Jiu Ling'er: "Jiu Ling'er, get up. Go change your clothes and go eat something. Let me discuss it with the Inspector."
Jiu Ling'er hurriedly agreed, bowed and saluted, took her leave and left.
Seeing that Jiu Ling'er had already left the gate, Lu Zesi immediately said: "This person is just like the rumors said, he was a spy and his brain was broken by the Kusaites. He is either an idiot or a lunatic. He is really a wild man who is not afraid of anything. .He can think of such a crazy thing. Oh my god!"
Faron laughed, "What does your lord think of this idea?"
Luzes sighed, "Okay. Of course it's good! It can not only solve future problems, but also solve current problems. If this is not a high plan, what is a higher idea than this."
"Then what does your lord mean that you can take the risk?" Faron asked.
Luzes sat back in his chair without saying a word.He is the city magistrate of the city of Correnia, mainly in charge of the affairs of the city of Correnia, and it is not easy to make any decisions in front of a district inspector.Faron is the inspector of the entire Silonia region and also serves as the city governor of Silonia.There is absolutely no need for him to stand out, and this strategy is very risky. From his heart, he is not willing to take this risk.While successful, the benefits to Corenia are clear.But this is a hypothesis after all, and it is still in wishful thinking.
Faron knew what was on his mind and didn't say anything. "This time we were able to regain Coriniaser. It was really a close call. It was very dangerous. If Master Sikanis had not had the foresight to send us a letter of help in advance, Coriniaser would have missed this time. These people with ulterior motives Ku Man has already become lawless, ignoring the might of the Calad Empire, and wanting to act recklessly. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to completely beat them to the ground, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome in the future. I think Jiu Ling'er has a good idea and can send troops. "
"Does Inspector think Jiu Ling'er's words are credible?"
"What do you mean?" Faron asked in surprise.
"War horses. I'm talking about war horses. Seven or eight thousand war horses placed on one pasture is such a tempting fortune. How could the Uwaites and Kusaites be unprepared?" Jiu Ling'er said I am afraid that there is a possibility of deceiving us. He wants revenge. More than 1000 people in Koreniasai were killed in battle, so he must want revenge."
"According to our estimates, the remaining soldiers of the Uwaites and the Kusaites are at least no less than 2000 people. The cavalry of more than 2000 people has no chance of winning for us. What's more, it is still on the grasslands of the Uwaites. A cavalry duel with them. Even if it is a sneak attack, the chances of winning are very small."
"However, his analysis is very reasonable. After the defeat of the Uwaites and Kusaites this time, their morale was low and they were negligent. If we go to attack them at this time, the chances of winning are indeed great. It's just that we don't have confidence and courage , I dare not try it." Faron immediately followed his words. "My lord, have you ever thought about what so many war horses mean to us once the sneak attack is successful? It is money, the rations of the people, the cotton clothes for this winter, the seeds for next spring, and the peace and food and clothing of the people. Seven or eight thousand war horses, if sold at a good price, can make the people's lives a little better this winter. In addition, the fat man Henuzhan, the leader of the Qusaite Kualitete tribe, can also bring us a This is a huge income. We can ask the Kusaites to pay a little more money to redeem him, so as not to waste our food."
Luzes looked at Faron in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that he would say such a thing. "Master Inspector, why do you..."
"A businessman who speaks like a mercenary?" Faron smiled bitterly, looked at him and said, "Corenia City has not been attacked by the freemen and Aserai, so it can barely survive. Knowing that Danusti What about the life of the common people? Since the Aserai riots, tens of thousands of people have been displaced, with little clothing, no food, and dead bodies everywhere. It’s miserable.”
"The eastern frontier of the empire has been plundered by foreigners in recent years. There are endless wars, the treasury is empty, and the finances are not making ends meet. The hardship of the people's life ranks in the entire empire, and our east is also the first. In the past, we could get the Ajit area every year. Food and financial subsidies in the Shireya region, but now that the Ajit and Shireya regions have been completely occupied by Aserai, how can there be any money to subsidize us. Money, I just want money now. I can’t let the people Starve and freeze to death. My lord, do you understand?"
Looking at Faron's simple and thin coarse linen clothes, Luzes lowered his head a little ashamedly, and remained silent.
"My lord, you have the most troops now, and the Corinian Serbian Army is under your jurisdiction again. Give me a quick word, do you want to do it or not?" Fuck me and you endlessly.
Luzes still hesitated. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "If the sneak attack fails, our loss will be huge. That is, if we fail to steal chickens, we will lose a handful of rice. It is not easy for Coriniasai to be hit so hard. Good adventure."
Faron sighed helplessly, and said earnestly: "My lord, can't you see which is more important?"
"Master Inspector, I, Corenia, can no longer afford such a huge loss of troops. You have to know, how much will their salaries and equipment cost for a thousand soldiers? Now the imperial treasury doesn't give you any money. Your Inspector It’s not bad that my lord doesn’t ask me for money, I’m a little city official, where can I get money. Don’t force me.”
"If you win this battle, don't you have money?" Inspector Faron said angrily.
"My lord, you and I are both civil servants. We don't understand war. Jiuling'er is a child who hasn't grown hair on his mouth yet. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. He is very courageous. We can't go crazy with him. Once we fail , It’s just adding insult to injury, and the loss is even greater.”
"Hmph! To put it bluntly, you are just afraid of losing yourself, aren't you?" Faron was unhappy, and his words had already begun to be unpleasant.
Luzes shook his head, "Master Inspector, what he said is wrong. I have nothing to lose. What I am afraid of is the loss of the city of Corinia. The Serbian Army of Corinia needs to be rebuilt. I will pay back this large sum of money." I don't know where to borrow it? Do you have any money to lend me?" Luzes asked bluntly.
Faron looked at him angrily, not knowing what to say for a while.When his troops counterattacked Corinase, a thousand troops lost a lot, leaving only more than 300 people.If the army is complete, there is no need to talk nonsense with you here.Faron regretted running too fast.The old slicker on the opposite side is very powerful, he is a ghost, and he has been leading the troops to follow behind him.As a result, his troops basically did not fight, and the Corinhaser counterattack was over.
Faron didn’t want to get into a stalemate with him, so he retreated to the next best thing, “My lord, if you firmly disagree with sending troops, how about this? You can lend me 300 horses. I still have more than [-] troops left, but There are too few war horses. This battle is over, if you win, I will give you the money to rebuild the Corinian frontier army and repair the fortress."
"What if we lose?" Luzes asked immediately, as if he didn't want to suffer at all.
Faron glanced at him, with a look of disappointment on his face. In desperation, he bit his teeth and said, "It will be folded into grains and will be returned to you next year."
Faron is angry.What kind of world is this? People are poor and short-sighted, and even powerful subordinates don't sell their accounts.Today's empire has indeed changed a bit.
Seeing Lu Zesi's villainous look on his face, he suddenly said: "If you win this battle, Jiu Ling'er will have made great contributions. If you don't promote Jiu Ling'er as the commander of the regiment, I will Transfer him to Silonia's Inspectorate."
Luzes was surprised, "Although Lord Overseer Sikanis strongly recommended him to serve as the commander of the regiment and lead the troops to garrison Coriniaser before he died. But he is too young and his position in the army is too high. I am afraid that his seniority is too old If some people are dissatisfied, it will affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. Didn't you also think it was inappropriate at the time?"
"The Great Battle of Coriniaser will soon spread throughout the Karad Empire, and it will become a matter of joy and encouragement for the whole country. Warlord Sikanis and his subordinates will become the heroes of our Karad Empire, Your Majesty the Queen I will definitely erect a monument and write a biography for them myself. The reward we gave to Jiu Ling'er is so light, will someone with ulterior motives write a letter to impeach us?"
Luzes cursed secretly in his heart.It was you who were unwilling to promote him back then, and you are the one who wants to promote him now.If you want to win him over, you are going too far.A letter of impeachment?Who else will write to impeach me but you.You are crazy about money, and you want to find someone to work for you, but you don't want to make it yourself.There is really no way to crush people to death at the first level.
"Don't worry, my lord, Jiu Ling'er came up with the idea, and only he is familiar with the terrain, and he is the only one to fight this battle. As for this officer, if he wins the battle, he will naturally be promoted. But an ordinary soldier will be promoted within a month. It is probably rare to be promoted to the commander of the wing because of repeated military exploits in our Karad Empire."
"The emperor's relatives, the sons of wealthy and noble families are all over the place to become generals overnight, why are they so rare?" Hearing that Lu Zesi promised that Jiu Ling'er would lead the troops to the expedition, Inspector Faron was in a good mood and replied casually.
"Jiu Ling'er is a commoner from a poor family. He used to be a slave of the Kuset people. He came from a poor and humble background. Don't you know?"
Faron laughed loudly, "If you are born in a poor family, you can't be an official? Belisarius, the famous imperial general, was just the bodyguard of Emperor Justinian in his early years. Another famous general, Narciss, was also born as a eunuch. High positions. They are all great military strategists in the empire."
Luzes opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but Faron stopped him with his hand, "No more disputes, no more disputes. Now that my lord has agreed to go out, I will arrange the specific matters. It is not too late for this matter, and it will change sooner or later. Gone. Come..."
Theo Yifu appeared at the door.
"Go and call the regiment captain Jiu Ling'er. Hurry up."
Jiu Ling'er paid homage to the tombs of Sikanis, Wuangji, Chi Aiting and other comrades-in-arms, and finally he returned to the tomb of Jimmys.He sat on the ground, looked at the wooden stake and the name on the wooden stake inserted in front of the grave, and took out the small box from his arms.Seeing things and thinking about people, tears flowed down involuntarily.He slowly opened the small box that had wiped off the blood, and found that besides Jimmys himself, there was a portrait of a girl: it was a pair of big, resentful and watery eyes, very realistic.
Xio Yifu asked a few people before he knew that Jiuling'er had left the main castle and went directly to the cemetery on Mount Corinia behind the fortress.Xio Yifu has already heard from the Inspector that this person is the wild man Jiulinger who came down from the snow mountain in the east of Kusait.He felt that the rumored savage was really very different from the savage he had imagined in his mind.It was rumored that Jiu Ling'er was a slave of the Kuset people, a brutal, cruel, brutal and vicious savage who killed people like hemp.But the savage Jiu Ling'er he saw was a witty, brave, affectionate and passionate man.
From a distance, he saw Jiu Ling'er's lonely figure, kneeling and sitting in front of the tomb alone, motionless.A person who always remembers his dead comrades in arms, this feeling, this person, is admirable in itself.
Xiao Yifu didn't disturb Jiu Ling'er on the mountain, he stood at the foot of the mountain and watched silently.
Jiu Ling'er's mind was in chaos, thinking about things.Sometimes it's very depressed, sometimes it's peaceful, one moment it's angry, the next moment it's nothing.He was so drowsy that he didn't know how long he sat there, until a gust of cold wind hit him, and he woke up.Jiu Ling'er stood up, at a loss, not knowing where she was going.Leaving Coriniasai behind, continue to search for your memory in the hinterland of the Karad Empire?Staying in Corinhas?But what to do next?There will never be an end to the war, what is the endless bloody fighting for?For survival?War is for no war in the future?
"Captain of the Nine Bells Alliance..." Xio Yifu's gentle voice sounded behind him.
Jiu Ling'er woke up suddenly, he calmed down his confused mind, and looked back slowly.Theo Yifu was standing behind him, saluting him very respectfully.
"My lord, what's the matter?"
"Master Inspector please."
As soon as Jiu Ling'er heard this, he regained his energy. As he walked towards the fortress, he thought silently, whether the two officers agreed to send troops or not?This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once lost, will never be there again.
When Faron saw Jiu Ling'er, he only said one sentence: "350 seven people, okay?"
Jiu Ling'er was ecstatic.He was so excited that tears welled up uncontrollably.He nodded desperately, unable to utter a word.Jiu Ling'er wiped away her tears, knelt down and kowtowed three times to Faron.This ordinary-looking old man, with his selfless mind and absolute trust, won Jiu Ling'er's determination to fight to the death.Even if blood is spilled on the battlefield, it will not hesitate.
Jiu Ling'er walked out of the main castle, and saw Xio Yifu and more than 300 soldiers standing beside the horses, neatly arranged in six rows.
Seeing him coming out, Xiao Yifu shouted loudly: "Salt to the captain!"
Xiao Yifu and 350 soldiers knelt down on one leg at the same time, shouting in unison: "Follow to the death..."
The roar suddenly sounded in the empty square, straight into the sky.Jiu Ling'er's eyes suddenly became moist.His heart was beating violently, the blood in his body was boiling, and his lips were trembling, not knowing how to express his gratitude.
At this time, from the opposite side of the square, Old Man Tiza hurried over with 28 soldiers who survived the Koreniaser war.Seeing them all in armor, Jiu Ling'er stared blankly, at a loss as to what to do.
Uncle Tizha and the 28 soldiers all knelt down in front of Jiu Ling'er. "My lord led his troops deep into the tiger's den, how could he leave us and go alone."
"My lord, there are only 29 of us left in the Korenia Serbian Army and we can continue to fight. If we die, we will die with your lord." Uncle Tiza suddenly raised the blood-stained imperial battle flag in his hand, carrying The soldiers shouted loudly: "Follow to the death..."
Jiu Ling'er finally couldn't control her tears and shed her tears.Faron and Luzes stood on the tower, watching from afar, feeling very moved.
"Come here..." Luzes suddenly turned around and called, "Give them the horses."
Jiu Ling'er helped Old Man Tizha up, looking at his gray hair, feeling mixed feelings for a moment.A strong murderous aura suddenly surged into his heart.If these hateful Kusets didn't invade, there would be no war, and no one would use such an old man to go to the battlefield.
He stretched out his hand to take the battle flag from old man Tiza, strode to his horse, and flew on the horse.Facing faces full of fighting spirit and looking death at home, and soldiers who were fully armed and willing to follow him to the battlefield, Jiu Ling'er suddenly felt that even if he died, it was worth it.
"All on horseback..."
Jiu Ling'er roared:
"Set off……"
(End of this chapter)
Jiu Ling'er faced the swarming enemies, and looked at the excited and almost crazy faces of Uwaite and Cusette. He had no choice but to retreat quickly.
He suddenly thought of himself struggling in the raging river.He is now like the leaf in the surging river, rolling and sinking helplessly with the waves, facing disaster at any time.
Jimmys and several soldiers overthrew the cauldrons in the center of the first square after the main city wall (between the main city wall and the second city wall is the first square, between the second and third city walls is the second square), Boiling oil was poured onto the ground and overflowed in all directions.They lifted the fire barrel that was still burning and threw it into the kerosene.When the kerosene touched the scattered firewood, it burst into flames with a "boom", and the flames flew into the air, instantly illuminating the entire square.
Under the command of Hulu Nage, the Kusaite soldiers standing on the tower fired a volley.Hundreds of arrows roared into the night sky, and all of them shot into the fire in the center of the square.
Jiu Ling'er was stopped by the fire, so she had to muster up her remaining courage and charged into the enemy's line again.But he was really like a leaf being carried by the strong wind, and he was immediately dizzy by the raging wind, and then he was carried by the flow of people, bypassing the fire in the center of the square, and ran towards the main castle.
Jiu Ling'er saw Jimmys.Jimmys fell to the ground, waving his hands for help in the air, and screamed in pain.The fire was slowly approaching him.Jiu Ling'er only felt that she was like a pile of dry sticks that had been ignited, and her whole body was burning with anger.A howl like a beast came out of his mouth.He rushed to the scene of fire and leaned towards Jimmys step by step.Drenched in blood, Jiu Ling'er chopped down the last enemy standing in front of her, and jumped into the flames.
The fire had reached Jimmys.Jiu Ling'er supported Jimis with both hands, roared angrily, carried him onto her shoulders and rushed out of the sea of flames.He hugged Jimmys on his shoulder with one hand, swung the knife with the other, and the roar in his mouth was no longer a human voice.He suddenly rushed into the middle of the enemy soldiers.When the enemy saw a ball of fire roaring from behind, they stepped aside one after another, allowing the lunatic with disheveled hair to kill him all the way.This lunatic was their god of death from the beginning, the battle was almost over, and he wasn't dead yet.Anyone who met him face-to-face was terrified by him.Let him run, he's going to die soon anyway.
Jimmys endured the pain like a piercing heart, tried his best, and called out to Jiu Ling'er in a hoarse voice: "Promise me, you will take care of Omina for the rest of your life, for the rest of your life."
Jiu Ling'er ran wildly, "I promise you, I promise you, you won't die, you won't die!"
"You... swear..." Jimmys' voice was getting weaker and weaker.
"I swear!" Jiu Ling'er roared vigorously.
"I swear!" Jiu Ling'er felt that Jimis was dead.He ran wildly, tears streaming down his face involuntarily, and he shouted nervously all the way: "I swear, I swear..."
Jiu Ling'er ran to the main castle at the fastest speed.The giant gate of the main castle was tightly closed.Jiu Ling'er's heart was ashamed, and she no longer cared about her own life.He put Jimmys down and slapped the flames hard on him.
"Jimmy...Miss! Jim...Miss..." Jiu Ling'er hugged him into her arms and shouted loudly.Jimmys was pierced through the chest by seven or eight long arrows from behind, and was dead.He tightly grasped the delicate little box in his hand.The locket was soaked and red with Jimmys' blood.
At this time, the huge closed door behind it made a loud "creak..." sound, and the closed door was opening.
Thousands of enemies who came running to see the signs of opening the closed door all roared in unison and quickened their running pace.The closed door is slowly opening, opening wider and wider.Suddenly, the pace of the enemy running ahead slowed down.They couldn't believe their eyes, they stared at the second square inside the city gate in surprise, completely ignoring Jiu Ling'er who was sitting on the ground.
Sikanis closed his eyes in relief.After he was carried to the main castle by Uncle Tiza, he saw Faron, Inspector of Cylonia, and Luzes, Mayor of Corenia. The three thousand troops led by the two adults were continuously passing through the third city wall. The gates of the city gathered and lined up on the second square one after another.He heard the thunderous sound of war drums.He knew that Coriniasai would not fall, and would return to the hands of the Karads.
The gate of the main castle is fully opened.Thousands of torches were lit on the second square inside, illuminating the dark night as bright as day.The second square was densely packed with heavily armed soldiers.At the front of the queue, in the middle of the city gate, stood a thin and dry old man in common clothes. He looked very haggard, but he was in good spirits.At his waist was a longsword, and in his hand was Callard's double-eagle battle standard.
The soldiers of the Kuman coalition stopped in their tracks.They were stunned.They couldn't believe what they saw.They did not understand how reinforcements from the Kharad Empire had suddenly appeared in Corintha.
On the tower of the main city wall, Hulu Nage and his soldiers are still cheering!Under the tower, Wuchahan was sitting on the ground, discussing with Humeng how to capture the main fort.In the square of Corinhas, the soldiers crowded behind were still shouting wildly.On the tower of the main city wall, the sound of ox horns resounded through the sky.On the main castle, the sound of war drums was earth-shattering.
Faron raised the battle flag in his hand, turned his head and shouted: "Children, follow me to take back Coriniaser, kill..."
The soldiers behind shouted in unison: "Kill... ah..."
The old man Faron was the first to rush into the first square of Corinhasai.The soldiers behind them were like fierce tigers descending the mountain, raising their weapons high, roaring like thunder, like an avalanche, and charged into the enemy's formation without hesitation with the aura of thunder.
Jiu Ling'er knelt on the ground, staring blankly at everything in front of him, he couldn't believe it was real.
Faron who was passing by gave Jiu Ling'er a hard kick, "Son, stand up and follow me, let's take back Coriniasai, kill..."
Jiu Ling'er rolled and scrambled, stood up from the ground, and was immediately engulfed by the torrent behind her, rushing towards the enemy involuntarily.
The sound of horns on the towers of the main city wall disappeared from the air in an instant.Hulu Nage and the soldiers were dumbfounded.incredible.For a while, they still couldn't wake up from the great joy of victory.
Uchahan and Hu staggered up the stone steps, their eyes wide open.Fall short, fall short.
"Retreat. Retreat immediately." Hu Meng shouted loudly.
"No." Wuchahan stared at a pair of blood-red eyes, and yelled frantically, "Fight, fight with them."
"Your Majesty, you've run out of people. What's the use of occupying such a stone city? Withdraw." Hu Meng shouted in anxiety.
At this time, Hulu Nage on the tower of the main city wall had already ordered his subordinates to sound the horn of retreat without hesitation, and the whole army retreated.The soldiers woke up from the shock and retreated down the tower like a tide.
Faron raised the battle flag high and walked firmly in the middle of the team step by step.Although he doesn't know martial arts and can't fight on the front line, he feels that his actions can inspire the brave fighters around him and inspire them to fight the enemy bravely regardless of their own safety.He is a member of the royal family, and his full name is Faron Petros.He rose to Inspector Silonia by gradual exhaustion.Farong was a clean, fair and benevolent official with remarkable achievements and won the hearts of the people.The surrounding soldiers consciously surrounded him, not letting an enemy approach their Lord Inspector.Long arrows shot from time to time from the darkness.The warriors walking in front of Faron did not hide or give way. They would rather fall down with an arrow than let an arrow hit Faron.
Faron looked at the fallen soldiers, his heart was bleeding, he waved the battle flag, summoned all his strength and shouted: "Children, for Karad, kill..."
More and more soldiers passed through the gate under the main castle and poured into the first square of Koreniasai, killing the enemy overwhelmingly.The soldiers of the Karad Empire were as powerful as a rainbow, and their killing sounds shook the sky.After being stimulated by great joy and sorrow, the soldiers of the Kuman coalition army were depressed and had no morale. Coupled with the fierce resistance of the soldiers of the imperial army, the sound of their own retreat horns resounded through the night sky, which finally led to the overall defeat.
Humeng led fifty soldiers to stand on the top floor of the marble steps of the main city wall to block the attack, covering the army's rapid retreat from the city wall.Things in the world are really unpredictable.It was the soldiers of the Karad Empire, led by Chi Aiting, who stopped them from rushing down the stone steps.In a blink of an eye, it turned into a fierce tiger leading the Cusaite soldiers to stop the Karad soldiers from attacking the stone steps.
The gate of the main city wall of Coriniasai was filled by the fortress defenders from the inside to the outside with soil bags. The 6-meter-thick soil bag had to be carried for a long time even if it was carried outside.Hu Meng had already thought of it, so he didn't plan to attack the city gate at all. Not only would it be futile, but it would also incur a lot of losses.But now how much he hopes that the door can be opened.Now he and the coalition soldiers have only one way to escape, and that is to climb over the main city wall and climb down from the ladder.
Due to the darkness and the crowds, the soldiers were flustered and disorganized, the towers were in chaos, and many soldiers fell to their deaths and were injured.The soldiers were all squeezed under the stone steps and could not go up for a while.The soldiers of Calad who rushed to the front engaged in a bloody battle with Cusit Uwait's blocking force.Often in order to fight for a small step, it takes the lives of more than a dozen soldiers.
The battle flag in Faron's hand was taken over by his subordinates.The overall situation of Coriniasai has been decided, and he is going to see those who survived the defense of Coriniasai.
Jiu Ling'er was the first to rush up the tower.His saber flew up and down around Hu Meng, forcing him to retreat step by step.Hu Meng's sweat mixed with blood drenched his whole body.Jiu Ling'er quickly pushed him to the edge of the city wall.Beyond the main city wall is the ladder.The surrounding enemy soldiers roared frantically, all rushing forward to occupy these escape positions.A large number of Calad soldiers stepped on the corpses of their comrades and rushed to the tower.
Jiu Ling'er turned around suddenly, roared, and swung her knife to meet the other people around, completely ignoring the tiger behind her.Hu Meng suddenly understood, he turned over and jumped onto the city wall, and quickly escaped.
Immediately, Jiu Ling'er leaned her back against the city wall, firmly occupying a favorable position, and never let an enemy go.Facing Humeng, he couldn't make a move.Hu Meng is the confidant of Grand Marshal Mulek and a good friend of Uncle Adaku Rum Atlantis, he can't take his life.After killing Humeng, the old man would definitely call himself an ungrateful villain.Without the old man, I would not be where I am today.Jiu Ling'er decided to let the tiger go.In this way, the old man will not scold himself if he knows it under Jiuquan.
Standing under the city, Hulu Nage looked like a general, and he kept ordering the trumpeter to blow the trumpet to gather troops.At this time, we must not be chaotic, we must be steady, and we must give the soldiers confidence.Isn't it just that the siege failed, and it wasn't that the whole tribe was killed, so why panic.
It didn't take long, and the soldiers who were still in shock gradually regained their self-confidence, and no longer had the sense of fear of impending disaster just now.The soldiers who fled to the city began to regroup under the command of the Horn.On the city wall, soldiers escaped down the ladder one after another.
Uchahan was lying on the ground, his face pale.Jiu Ling'er's knife was too domineering, and it hurt him very badly.
Hu Meng was in a bad mood and extremely depressed.The number of troops attacking Coriniaser reached 1000 people. After losing thousands of people, they didn't even get a single brick from Coriniaser.He didn't know how things could turn out like this.He didn't know how he was going to face Mulek.
Hulu Nage ordered the troops to prepare for archery.His subordinates suspected that they had heard wrong, and turned to look at their leader.
Hulu Nage gave him a whip right from the start.Immediately, the horn of the attack tore through the dark night, and sounded again under the city of Corinia.
"Order, shoot all the arrows that can be shot here for me." Hulu Nage said coldly.
"My lord, there are still hundreds of brothers up there who haven't come down." Once again his subordinates suspected that they had heard wrong, and opened their mouths to exclaim.
Hulu Nage didn't hit him this time, but looked at the tragic battlefield with figures flying over the city tower, smiled wryly, pointed to the hundreds of ladders leaning on the city wall, and said sadly: "They can't escape."
There was no one on the ladder.On the city wall, more than 1000 imperial soldiers surrounded hundreds of coalition soldiers who had not had time to escape, and the two sides were fighting fiercely.Jiu Ling'er leaned against the base of the city wall, exhausted, staring feebly at the bloody battlefield in front of her.
Hulunage roared loudly: "Let it go..., let's fire continuously..."
Nearly 2000 soldiers who escaped stood in a neat line with extremely strong hatred, and shot an arrow to vent their anger towards the wall of Corinia.The long arrow whistled in the dark night, flew into the darkness, flew up the tower, and shot into all places that could be pierced after touching.
The city wall suddenly fell into chaos.Some of the Callad soldiers fled in all directions like birds and beasts, some rolled and crawled to hide under the city wall, some lay down on the ground and put the corpse on their body, some panicked and looked at the corridor and ran wildly to escape to In the fortress, there are also those who regard death as home and raise their knives to entangle and kill the enemy.But the speed of escape is far less than that of Changjian.Batch after batch of long arrows poured violently on the Korenia City Tower like a violent storm without any pause at all.No life can escape.The people on the tower were like leeks cut off with a knife, falling down one after another.
Looking at the terrifying scene in front of her, Jiu Ling'er laughed wildly.He wanted to die but had no chance.He has been killing and killing people all the time, but now he is sitting at the root of the city wall, out of reach of long arrows.He wants to die with them, to live is to kill, to be killed, life is meaningless.
Jiu Ling'er struggled to support her body, ready to climb into the fierce arrow rain.Suddenly, he saw Jimmys' delicate little box, the little box stained red by Jimmys' blood.He froze for a moment.
The soldiers of the Kuman coalition army buried all the remains of the dead soldiers at the foot of Mount Tanis that night, and then slowly withdrew with the wounded soldiers, a large number of siege equipment, and supplies.After losing nearly 9000 men, they returned home in a disastrous defeat.
Hurunag's final blow dealt a heavy blow to the morale-high reinforcements of the Karad army.If you stick to the city for ten days, the entire army will be wiped out, and only 800 people will be wiped out.However, Hulunag's fierce final blow caused heavy casualties to the Karade army in an instant. In addition to the loss in the square, the 1000 reinforcements lost more than [-] people in less than an hour.The ferocity of the Uwaites and Kussets deeply shocked the Karad army.
The defense of Coriniasai is finally over.
The next day, Jiu Ling'er was woken up by someone pushing her on the tower.Looking at the smiling but very unfamiliar face, he couldn't understand what happened for a while.He wants to sleep.
"Are you the captain of the alliance, Black Axe?" asked the middle-aged man with a sword.
Jiu Ling'er shook her head.The burly man in front of him was of medium build, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, three slender beards, and a square face that looked elegant yet majestic.
Seeing Jiu Ling'er shaking her head, the man hesitated.He took a closer look, and then pushed Jiu Ling'er who fell asleep on his head again.Jiu Ling'er tried her best to open her heavy eyelids and looked at him in bewilderment.
"Are you Captain Black Axe?"
Jiu Ling'er shook her head resolutely.
"Then you are the squadron leader Black Axe?"
Jiu Ling'er's mind went blank.He bowed his head and thought for a while, only to remember that Ulphie, the captain of the company, had told him that he was the squadron leader.But there were not many soldiers, and Ulfi asked him to lead people to patrol the city wall at night.
He smiled shyly at the man and nodded.
"I have ordered you to go to the main castle to discuss important matters." The man bowed politely and said loudly.
Jiu Ling'er couldn't turn the corner for a moment, looked at him blankly, and asked, "Who is your Excellency?"
"This is Xio Yifu, the military assistant of Lord Inspector." Xio Yifu replied very politely.
Jiu Ling'er saw that the other party had been tepid, soft-spoken, and polite, but her appearance was very rude, so she hurriedly stood up and saluted the other party, "My name is Atlantis Jiu Bell. Everyone calls me Black Axe."
Xiao Yifu laughed, his eyes showed admiration for Jiu Ling'er.The two then walked to the main castle together, chatting casually on the way.Jiu Ling'er noticed that Theo Yifu had a gentle temperament, and he was also very modest and cautious.
On the main city wall, the remains of soldiers from both sides had been buried overnight, and many people were scrubbing the blood on the ground and repairing the damaged tower.On the square, more soldiers were cleaning the battlefield.The fire in the center of the First Square last night burned a huge piece of the ground black.
"My lord, do you know how many people we have left?" Jiu Ling'er asked softly.
"You are the only officer above the squadron leader and 230 or two soldiers left in the entire Corinia Fortress Army. Among them, there are more than 200 people in the Severely Wounded. The entire fortress defenders have been defeated." Xio Yifu said sadly Said.
Jiu Ling'er fell silent.
"Lord Overseer..."
"Passed away last night. Overseer Sikanis was seriously injured, and the doctors and nurses couldn't do anything."
Jiu Ling'er came to the main castle and knelt on the ground, her whole body was covered in blood, emitting a strong fishy smell.
The two high officials hurriedly got him up.Luzes, the mayor of Corenia, looked very kind. He first praised Jiulinger, and then introduced him to Inspector Faron of Silonia.
Jiu Ling'er was a little surprised to see that he was the old man who kicked her yesterday.It is unimaginable for a senior official like a district inspector to wear a cloth dress and a pair of cloth shoes.
Jiu Ling'er knelt down again to salute.
"Before Lord Sicanis left, he strongly recommended you to us, saying that you are versatile in both civil and military affairs, and you will definitely be the pillar of our empire in the future. We have also heard a lot about you, and you are really a young hero." Faron was very pleased. happy.
"Your Excellency's praise is ridiculous. I just did some duty, and I don't have any outstanding achievements." Jiu Ling'er blushed at Faron's praise, and said hastily.
"Don't be humble. Sikanis has already told us that you are a snow-capped savage who was captured by the Cusitites with two black wooden tokens. Recently, you, a savage, have gained a lot of fame in the eastern border of the empire, and your head is too high." It's priceless. I just didn't expect to be so young." Faron and Luzes looked at each other and smiled.
"Because you are more familiar with the situation of Coriniaser than we are, and now you have been promoted to the captain of the fortress, so we want to ask how many people Coriniaser should send to garrison it is more appropriate." Luzes said pleasantly .
"Returning to the two adults, Wuchahan has suffered heavy losses this time, and the loss of personnel and materials is huge. It is difficult to do anything in the short term. And the Kusaites, with the heart of tigers and wolves, are always thinking about invading our Karad Empire. There is still the possibility of an attack within a certain period of time. So I think 3600 people is a basic number.”
Faron and Luzes looked embarrassed and did not continue talking.
"However, there is a way to make the Kusaites completely give up the idea of invading from Corinia."
Faron and Luzes exchanged a look of surprise, and almost at the same time waved for him to continue talking.
"The troops of the Kusaites first stationed in the Chidori Ranch, and when they arrived at the Wild Flower Valley, many cavalry had dismounted and turned into infantry in order to attack the city. All their horses stayed in the Chidori Ranch, and at least five Thousands of war horses. If you add the war horses of the later reinforcements, there may be seven thousand to eight thousand war horses in Chidori Ranch. My lord, do you know what this means? As long as we take them all, we can quickly Form a strong cavalry team, and we can fight these Uwaites and Kussets in a decisive battle on the grassland."
"The Kussets lost these horses, and they also lost [-] to [-] cavalrymen. In addition, they lost at least [-] soldiers in Coriniasai this time. In terms of conversion, the Kussets lost unprecedentedly huge. I am afraid that within three or four years, they will have no hope of turning over. Of course, this only refers to the central and southern Kusaite."
"Almost all of the [-] troops of the Uwaites were lost in Corenia. If he wants to recover, he will not be able to recover in a few years. Once the power that threatens the safety of Corenia no longer exists, we will You can free up your hands to deal with other troops invading the Karad Empire."
"The sudden and unbelievable defeat of the Kusaites under the complete victory this time is a devastating blow to their morale. They hurriedly withdrew to the Chidori Ranch overnight. The soldiers must be exhausted and urgently need rest and adjustment .And Uchahan and Hulunag’s troops suffered such a heavy blow, and they were exhausted physically and mentally, so they must have neglected to take precautions. So their vigilance is the worst at this time.”
"They take it for granted that we have also suffered a major blow. It is impossible for Coriniaser's defensive strength to recover in a short period of time. Indeed, we cannot recover in a short period of time, because the reinforcements brought by the two adults also suffered heavy losses. According to Ku Seth's idea, we will hide in the fortress and recover as much as possible. They always think that we Caladians are cowardly and cowardly, and they dare not take the initiative to attack easily. The monitoring will definitely be very negligent.”
"So, at this moment, our sudden attack on Chidori Ranch will greatly surprise the enemy, and the chance of winning should be more than [-]%."
Inspector Faron of Silonia stroked his goatee and fell silent.Luzes, the mayor of Corenia, looked cloudy and uncertain, his eyes were looking at the roof, wondering what he was thinking.
After Jiu Ling'er finished speaking, she waited patiently for a while, and saw that they still had no response, so she knelt down again and said loudly: "My lord, this matter cannot be delayed. I only need [-] riders, and I can go to sneak attack tonight pasture!"
Faron remained silent.Luzes smiled slightly, and said to Jiu Ling'er: "Jiu Ling'er, get up. Go change your clothes and go eat something. Let me discuss it with the Inspector."
Jiu Ling'er hurriedly agreed, bowed and saluted, took her leave and left.
Seeing that Jiu Ling'er had already left the gate, Lu Zesi immediately said: "This person is just like the rumors said, he was a spy and his brain was broken by the Kusaites. He is either an idiot or a lunatic. He is really a wild man who is not afraid of anything. .He can think of such a crazy thing. Oh my god!"
Faron laughed, "What does your lord think of this idea?"
Luzes sighed, "Okay. Of course it's good! It can not only solve future problems, but also solve current problems. If this is not a high plan, what is a higher idea than this."
"Then what does your lord mean that you can take the risk?" Faron asked.
Luzes sat back in his chair without saying a word.He is the city magistrate of the city of Correnia, mainly in charge of the affairs of the city of Correnia, and it is not easy to make any decisions in front of a district inspector.Faron is the inspector of the entire Silonia region and also serves as the city governor of Silonia.There is absolutely no need for him to stand out, and this strategy is very risky. From his heart, he is not willing to take this risk.While successful, the benefits to Corenia are clear.But this is a hypothesis after all, and it is still in wishful thinking.
Faron knew what was on his mind and didn't say anything. "This time we were able to regain Coriniaser. It was really a close call. It was very dangerous. If Master Sikanis had not had the foresight to send us a letter of help in advance, Coriniaser would have missed this time. These people with ulterior motives Ku Man has already become lawless, ignoring the might of the Calad Empire, and wanting to act recklessly. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to completely beat them to the ground, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome in the future. I think Jiu Ling'er has a good idea and can send troops. "
"Does Inspector think Jiu Ling'er's words are credible?"
"What do you mean?" Faron asked in surprise.
"War horses. I'm talking about war horses. Seven or eight thousand war horses placed on one pasture is such a tempting fortune. How could the Uwaites and Kusaites be unprepared?" Jiu Ling'er said I am afraid that there is a possibility of deceiving us. He wants revenge. More than 1000 people in Koreniasai were killed in battle, so he must want revenge."
"According to our estimates, the remaining soldiers of the Uwaites and the Kusaites are at least no less than 2000 people. The cavalry of more than 2000 people has no chance of winning for us. What's more, it is still on the grasslands of the Uwaites. A cavalry duel with them. Even if it is a sneak attack, the chances of winning are very small."
"However, his analysis is very reasonable. After the defeat of the Uwaites and Kusaites this time, their morale was low and they were negligent. If we go to attack them at this time, the chances of winning are indeed great. It's just that we don't have confidence and courage , I dare not try it." Faron immediately followed his words. "My lord, have you ever thought about what so many war horses mean to us once the sneak attack is successful? It is money, the rations of the people, the cotton clothes for this winter, the seeds for next spring, and the peace and food and clothing of the people. Seven or eight thousand war horses, if sold at a good price, can make the people's lives a little better this winter. In addition, the fat man Henuzhan, the leader of the Qusaite Kualitete tribe, can also bring us a This is a huge income. We can ask the Kusaites to pay a little more money to redeem him, so as not to waste our food."
Luzes looked at Faron in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that he would say such a thing. "Master Inspector, why do you..."
"A businessman who speaks like a mercenary?" Faron smiled bitterly, looked at him and said, "Corenia City has not been attacked by the freemen and Aserai, so it can barely survive. Knowing that Danusti What about the life of the common people? Since the Aserai riots, tens of thousands of people have been displaced, with little clothing, no food, and dead bodies everywhere. It’s miserable.”
"The eastern frontier of the empire has been plundered by foreigners in recent years. There are endless wars, the treasury is empty, and the finances are not making ends meet. The hardship of the people's life ranks in the entire empire, and our east is also the first. In the past, we could get the Ajit area every year. Food and financial subsidies in the Shireya region, but now that the Ajit and Shireya regions have been completely occupied by Aserai, how can there be any money to subsidize us. Money, I just want money now. I can’t let the people Starve and freeze to death. My lord, do you understand?"
Looking at Faron's simple and thin coarse linen clothes, Luzes lowered his head a little ashamedly, and remained silent.
"My lord, you have the most troops now, and the Corinian Serbian Army is under your jurisdiction again. Give me a quick word, do you want to do it or not?" Fuck me and you endlessly.
Luzes still hesitated. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "If the sneak attack fails, our loss will be huge. That is, if we fail to steal chickens, we will lose a handful of rice. It is not easy for Coriniasai to be hit so hard. Good adventure."
Faron sighed helplessly, and said earnestly: "My lord, can't you see which is more important?"
"Master Inspector, I, Corenia, can no longer afford such a huge loss of troops. You have to know, how much will their salaries and equipment cost for a thousand soldiers? Now the imperial treasury doesn't give you any money. Your Inspector It’s not bad that my lord doesn’t ask me for money, I’m a little city official, where can I get money. Don’t force me.”
"If you win this battle, don't you have money?" Inspector Faron said angrily.
"My lord, you and I are both civil servants. We don't understand war. Jiuling'er is a child who hasn't grown hair on his mouth yet. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. He is very courageous. We can't go crazy with him. Once we fail , It’s just adding insult to injury, and the loss is even greater.”
"Hmph! To put it bluntly, you are just afraid of losing yourself, aren't you?" Faron was unhappy, and his words had already begun to be unpleasant.
Luzes shook his head, "Master Inspector, what he said is wrong. I have nothing to lose. What I am afraid of is the loss of the city of Corinia. The Serbian Army of Corinia needs to be rebuilt. I will pay back this large sum of money." I don't know where to borrow it? Do you have any money to lend me?" Luzes asked bluntly.
Faron looked at him angrily, not knowing what to say for a while.When his troops counterattacked Corinase, a thousand troops lost a lot, leaving only more than 300 people.If the army is complete, there is no need to talk nonsense with you here.Faron regretted running too fast.The old slicker on the opposite side is very powerful, he is a ghost, and he has been leading the troops to follow behind him.As a result, his troops basically did not fight, and the Corinhaser counterattack was over.
Faron didn’t want to get into a stalemate with him, so he retreated to the next best thing, “My lord, if you firmly disagree with sending troops, how about this? You can lend me 300 horses. I still have more than [-] troops left, but There are too few war horses. This battle is over, if you win, I will give you the money to rebuild the Corinian frontier army and repair the fortress."
"What if we lose?" Luzes asked immediately, as if he didn't want to suffer at all.
Faron glanced at him, with a look of disappointment on his face. In desperation, he bit his teeth and said, "It will be folded into grains and will be returned to you next year."
Faron is angry.What kind of world is this? People are poor and short-sighted, and even powerful subordinates don't sell their accounts.Today's empire has indeed changed a bit.
Seeing Lu Zesi's villainous look on his face, he suddenly said: "If you win this battle, Jiu Ling'er will have made great contributions. If you don't promote Jiu Ling'er as the commander of the regiment, I will Transfer him to Silonia's Inspectorate."
Luzes was surprised, "Although Lord Overseer Sikanis strongly recommended him to serve as the commander of the regiment and lead the troops to garrison Coriniaser before he died. But he is too young and his position in the army is too high. I am afraid that his seniority is too old If some people are dissatisfied, it will affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. Didn't you also think it was inappropriate at the time?"
"The Great Battle of Coriniaser will soon spread throughout the Karad Empire, and it will become a matter of joy and encouragement for the whole country. Warlord Sikanis and his subordinates will become the heroes of our Karad Empire, Your Majesty the Queen I will definitely erect a monument and write a biography for them myself. The reward we gave to Jiu Ling'er is so light, will someone with ulterior motives write a letter to impeach us?"
Luzes cursed secretly in his heart.It was you who were unwilling to promote him back then, and you are the one who wants to promote him now.If you want to win him over, you are going too far.A letter of impeachment?Who else will write to impeach me but you.You are crazy about money, and you want to find someone to work for you, but you don't want to make it yourself.There is really no way to crush people to death at the first level.
"Don't worry, my lord, Jiu Ling'er came up with the idea, and only he is familiar with the terrain, and he is the only one to fight this battle. As for this officer, if he wins the battle, he will naturally be promoted. But an ordinary soldier will be promoted within a month. It is probably rare to be promoted to the commander of the wing because of repeated military exploits in our Karad Empire."
"The emperor's relatives, the sons of wealthy and noble families are all over the place to become generals overnight, why are they so rare?" Hearing that Lu Zesi promised that Jiu Ling'er would lead the troops to the expedition, Inspector Faron was in a good mood and replied casually.
"Jiu Ling'er is a commoner from a poor family. He used to be a slave of the Kuset people. He came from a poor and humble background. Don't you know?"
Faron laughed loudly, "If you are born in a poor family, you can't be an official? Belisarius, the famous imperial general, was just the bodyguard of Emperor Justinian in his early years. Another famous general, Narciss, was also born as a eunuch. High positions. They are all great military strategists in the empire."
Luzes opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but Faron stopped him with his hand, "No more disputes, no more disputes. Now that my lord has agreed to go out, I will arrange the specific matters. It is not too late for this matter, and it will change sooner or later. Gone. Come..."
Theo Yifu appeared at the door.
"Go and call the regiment captain Jiu Ling'er. Hurry up."
Jiu Ling'er paid homage to the tombs of Sikanis, Wuangji, Chi Aiting and other comrades-in-arms, and finally he returned to the tomb of Jimmys.He sat on the ground, looked at the wooden stake and the name on the wooden stake inserted in front of the grave, and took out the small box from his arms.Seeing things and thinking about people, tears flowed down involuntarily.He slowly opened the small box that had wiped off the blood, and found that besides Jimmys himself, there was a portrait of a girl: it was a pair of big, resentful and watery eyes, very realistic.
Xio Yifu asked a few people before he knew that Jiuling'er had left the main castle and went directly to the cemetery on Mount Corinia behind the fortress.Xio Yifu has already heard from the Inspector that this person is the wild man Jiulinger who came down from the snow mountain in the east of Kusait.He felt that the rumored savage was really very different from the savage he had imagined in his mind.It was rumored that Jiu Ling'er was a slave of the Kuset people, a brutal, cruel, brutal and vicious savage who killed people like hemp.But the savage Jiu Ling'er he saw was a witty, brave, affectionate and passionate man.
From a distance, he saw Jiu Ling'er's lonely figure, kneeling and sitting in front of the tomb alone, motionless.A person who always remembers his dead comrades in arms, this feeling, this person, is admirable in itself.
Xiao Yifu didn't disturb Jiu Ling'er on the mountain, he stood at the foot of the mountain and watched silently.
Jiu Ling'er's mind was in chaos, thinking about things.Sometimes it's very depressed, sometimes it's peaceful, one moment it's angry, the next moment it's nothing.He was so drowsy that he didn't know how long he sat there, until a gust of cold wind hit him, and he woke up.Jiu Ling'er stood up, at a loss, not knowing where she was going.Leaving Coriniasai behind, continue to search for your memory in the hinterland of the Karad Empire?Staying in Corinhas?But what to do next?There will never be an end to the war, what is the endless bloody fighting for?For survival?War is for no war in the future?
"Captain of the Nine Bells Alliance..." Xio Yifu's gentle voice sounded behind him.
Jiu Ling'er woke up suddenly, he calmed down his confused mind, and looked back slowly.Theo Yifu was standing behind him, saluting him very respectfully.
"My lord, what's the matter?"
"Master Inspector please."
As soon as Jiu Ling'er heard this, he regained his energy. As he walked towards the fortress, he thought silently, whether the two officers agreed to send troops or not?This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once lost, will never be there again.
When Faron saw Jiu Ling'er, he only said one sentence: "350 seven people, okay?"
Jiu Ling'er was ecstatic.He was so excited that tears welled up uncontrollably.He nodded desperately, unable to utter a word.Jiu Ling'er wiped away her tears, knelt down and kowtowed three times to Faron.This ordinary-looking old man, with his selfless mind and absolute trust, won Jiu Ling'er's determination to fight to the death.Even if blood is spilled on the battlefield, it will not hesitate.
Jiu Ling'er walked out of the main castle, and saw Xio Yifu and more than 300 soldiers standing beside the horses, neatly arranged in six rows.
Seeing him coming out, Xiao Yifu shouted loudly: "Salt to the captain!"
Xiao Yifu and 350 soldiers knelt down on one leg at the same time, shouting in unison: "Follow to the death..."
The roar suddenly sounded in the empty square, straight into the sky.Jiu Ling'er's eyes suddenly became moist.His heart was beating violently, the blood in his body was boiling, and his lips were trembling, not knowing how to express his gratitude.
At this time, from the opposite side of the square, Old Man Tiza hurried over with 28 soldiers who survived the Koreniaser war.Seeing them all in armor, Jiu Ling'er stared blankly, at a loss as to what to do.
Uncle Tizha and the 28 soldiers all knelt down in front of Jiu Ling'er. "My lord led his troops deep into the tiger's den, how could he leave us and go alone."
"My lord, there are only 29 of us left in the Korenia Serbian Army and we can continue to fight. If we die, we will die with your lord." Uncle Tiza suddenly raised the blood-stained imperial battle flag in his hand, carrying The soldiers shouted loudly: "Follow to the death..."
Jiu Ling'er finally couldn't control her tears and shed her tears.Faron and Luzes stood on the tower, watching from afar, feeling very moved.
"Come here..." Luzes suddenly turned around and called, "Give them the horses."
Jiu Ling'er helped Old Man Tizha up, looking at his gray hair, feeling mixed feelings for a moment.A strong murderous aura suddenly surged into his heart.If these hateful Kusets didn't invade, there would be no war, and no one would use such an old man to go to the battlefield.
He stretched out his hand to take the battle flag from old man Tiza, strode to his horse, and flew on the horse.Facing faces full of fighting spirit and looking death at home, and soldiers who were fully armed and willing to follow him to the battlefield, Jiu Ling'er suddenly felt that even if he died, it was worth it.
"All on horseback..."
Jiu Ling'er roared:
"Set off……"
