Chapter 141 A Good Soldier

"What a terrifying family! A young army leader of the Cade family, who is less than 30 years old, has such great power. It's a pity, how many soldiers' glory has been buried under the glory of the Cade family! What I did today It is to end your myth."

The commander-in-chief of the rebel army, Lun Da, the former head of the Second Imperial Army Corps, sighed softly while looking at the battlefield in the distance.

The glory of the Kaide family is accumulated through hundreds of years of military exploits.As the pillars of the empire, the men of this family stand at the forefront in every war.This seemingly fearless sacrifice has inadvertently covered up the light of many generals, preventing many outstanding generals from going higher and further.

Renda is such a general. When he took the position of regiment commander for a few years, he finally realized that he seemed to have no chance to surpass his current position in his life.In the confusion, Prince Joseph made him see new hope, and he finally chose to follow the prince on an extremely dangerous road.

On the battlefield, Renda's infantry phalanx was attacking the position of the first army.A blood-soaked young man with blond hair, his whole body gleaming with fighting spirit, wielding a big sword, led thousands of cavalry on horseback to fight in and out among the infantry, and he had gone back and forth several times.

"Did you see that blond-haired young man? Kill him." Standing in front of the formation, Lunda pointed to the distant battlefield, and said coldly to several magisters who were surrounded by black robes.

"General, there are many of our soldiers there..." an officer beside Renda reminded him, but Renda interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"You should know that many of the cavalry led by Mu Feng are veterans who followed Yan Tian and participated in the Battle of Yanyun! From the beginning of the battle to the present, this cavalry has caused us great casualties. If we don't get rid of them With him, the fighting spirit of the First Legion will not be disintegrated. Necessary sacrifices cannot be avoided." Renda sighed.

"These soldiers, even if I give you funeral objects, the youngest legion commander in the empire!"

On November 11, the battle between the rebels and the First Army started in the town of Gulan in the northwest of the Iberian Province. 10 rebels soon formed a siege on the first army of the First Army.The first army, which was on a high level of combat readiness, did not panic at all due to the enemy's sudden attack. Under the personal leadership of Mu Feng, they used the fortifications in Gulan Town to launch a tenacious block against the rebels.At the same time, the other two armies of the First Army were also ordered to rush to help.

However, the battle had just begun, and the six magisters of the rebel army launched their forces at the same time, dealing a heavy blow to the first army. Most of the fortifications in the town were destroyed, and nearly [-] soldiers died under the magic attack.Facing the enemy's powerful team of magicians, Mu Feng had no choice but to order the magicians accompanying the army to defend with all their strength, and the first army also turned to defensive positions in an all-round way.

A sudden hailstorm, centered on Mufeng, fell on the positions of the two armies in the fierce battle, smashing the soldiers of the two armies upside down and flying blood and blood.A few sharp ice thorns, caught in the hail, silently attacked Mu Feng in the battle.

The moment the hailstone fell, Mu Feng knew that the enemy wanted to get rid of him no matter the cost, so he became extra cautious.When the ice thorns hit, his whole body was full of fighting spirit, and he raised his shield to block it.

"Bang bang" loudly, the ice thorns flying at high speed collided with the battle energy suddenly, bringing up an icy mist, and the shield in Mu Feng's hand immediately shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.

With a soft "chi", the last ice thorn pierced through the already weakened battle qi, pierced deeply into Mu Feng's shoulder, knocked him off the horse, and fell heavily to the ground.Then, a huge bolt of lightning in the sky fell straight towards Mu Feng who was unconscious on the ground.

The cavalry wanted to rescue them, but it was too late.When the lightning was hitting Mu Feng's body, a thin figure suddenly flew obliquely from a corner of the battlefield, and landed on Mu Feng's body.

"Wow!" The thin figure jumped up from the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, picked up Mu Feng, and fled away quickly.

"It's a pity!" The scene on the battlefield made Renda sigh.

On November 11th, Mu Feng, the head of the First Army Corps, was seriously injured and disappeared on the battlefield.

On November 11th, the First Army received orders from Xia Tian to retreat to the city of Bethleigh in the south of the Iberian province. The first line of defense in the north of the empire was completely torn apart by the rebels.Xia Tian quickly gathered the rest of the First Legion, assembled the 17 recruits he had brought, and built a second line of defense in Burleigh City.This line of defense is also the last barrier to the north of Yuncheng, the capital of the empire.

On November 11, under the leadership of Commander-in-Chief Lunda, the rebels abandoned the Iberian capital of Lid and approached the city of Bethleigh.

"Marshal Yantian, this is a battle I have longed for for many years. Under the city of Burleigh, will you continue the myth, or will I open a new chapter?"

Lunda was riding on horseback, looking at the distant city of Bethleigh, feeling agitated.The city of Bethlehem is located on a plain in the south of Iberia. The surrounding terrain is flat and there is no danger to rely on. It is not only conducive to the movement of cavalry, but also more favorable to infantry siege.Therefore, Lunda, who is good at infantry, felt that this was a fateful battle between him and Marshal Xia, who was good at cavalry.

In the early morning, Lun Duo rode his horse alone to the city of Burleigh, asking to see Marshal Yan.Marshal Yan Tian was about to leave the city.

"General, you are old. These days, I think you have worked hard!" The two faced each other from a distance, and Lun Duo said with emotion as he looked at the haggard Yan Tian.

"Londo, what else can you say when you come to see me? You were once the most outstanding general in the empire, but now you have betrayed your own country and army. Are you worthy of your heart?" Xia Tian looked at London , said calmly.

"Londo is ashamed! These days, I have been struggling in pain. I often ask myself, this is the country I should protect, why is it set on fire because of me?" Lundo nodded lightly , and then said loudly: "Because I am not willing to live under the light of the Cade family forever! I am a soldier, and I need to have my own piece of sky! General, do you know that in the hundreds of years of history of the empire, there have been How many generals can get rid of the shadow of the Cade family? The marshal’s son, who was 30 years old, ascended to the throne of the legion commander, and I took him 15 years longer than him. If all this does not change, the honor of the imperial soldiers will always be occupied by the Cade family Go!"

"It turned out to be like this. It seems that what Yun'er once said to me is indeed reasonable. The Huoyun Empire cannot rely on the Kaide family to support it alone. What's more, the honor of soldiers comes from wars. Kaide In the eyes of others, isn't the family's sacrifice for the empire the exclusive credit?" Yan Tian sighed softly in his heart.

"Londo, the two armies are hostile. There is not much to say. But you were my subordinate, so I will tell you: the honor of the Cade family was bought by hundreds of men with their lives. If possible, I I even hope that another family can sacrifice for it. Today I am the Marshal of the Empire, I am afraid this should be the biggest dream in your heart. But as a father, if the Empire is not in danger, I would rather not have this position, just ask me My sons and daughters are safe." Speaking of this, Xia Tian couldn't help but think of Liu Yun who returned from a near-death situation, Mu Feng who was seriously injured and missing, and Jing Lei who disappeared without a trace.

After listening to Xia Tian's words, Lun Duo was at a loss for a moment.

"A soldier, his honor is always born with responsibility, not through killing and ambition. You are a soldier, but you are not loyal to the country. Your heart is full of power and selfish desires! For your own benefit, you put Thousands of people are driven into the flames of war, and these people are the ones you should protect! Lun Duo, I used to be very optimistic about you as an infantry genius, but at this time I want to say that you are not even a good soldier!"

After Xia Tian finished speaking, he rode his horse back to the city.

"Who is right and who is wrong, General, you said it too early! History is always written by the victors!" Lun Duo shouted loudly towards Xia Tian's back.

He somewhat regretted coming to see his old leader, because every word the marshal ruthlessly tore off his fig leaf.

"Marshal, you once said that I am a good soldier. And I brought out a group of good soldiers for you. Tonight, your soldiers will finally do their part for you and the country that gave birth to us." A The officer stood in the big camp where the rebels piled up food, grass and supplies, looking at the starry sky and muttering.

He is an ordinary junior officer of the Second Army Corps of the rebellion, and he and his thousand-man brigade are responsible for guarding these supplies.After the prince's rebellion, he never wanted to fight against the imperial army. He wanted to take people away from the rebels several times, but because the risk was too great, he finally had to lurk down.At the same time, he also managed to transfer to the current position.When the rebel army came to Bethleigh and was about to start a war with Marshal Yan's troops, he finally decided to do it.Because as a veteran of the Second Army, he knew how powerful these materials, especially the siege equipment, would be in the hands of General Lun Duo.

"Captain, the brothers have all assembled, just waiting for your order." A soldier walked to his side and whispered.

"Okay." The captain then came to the assembly point of his troops.

In an open space in the material camp, a group of soldiers who took off the armor of the rebels gathered, and everyone was naked from the waist up.Since it is decided to die in battle, the battle armor and so on are meaningless.On the bare upper body of each soldier, write four big blood red characters: "A good soldier".

"Mine, write it down!" The captain ordered, taking off his armor and exposing his upper body.

After finishing writing, he turned and looked at his subordinates.

"Brothers, get ready to act! 15 years ago, when the current Imperial Marshal General Yantian came to inspect the brigade, he asked me: 'Young man, what are you serving as a soldier?' I replied, to serve the country. The general said: 'Yes , you will be a good soldier.' Over the years, all the brothers in my team have used the words of the marshal to spur themselves. Unfortunately, we have all become members of the rebel army overnight, and we are powerless to resist. Now the marshal is in In the city ahead of us, tonight, let us prove to him that in the rebellious imperial army, there are still a group of bloody and good soldiers! The honor of soldiers will belong to us forever because of this battle tonight!"

"Following the rebels is also death, why don't you die knowingly, and get a good reputation! The empire will never forget us!" A rough voice responded, and immediately got everyone's approval.

"That's right, they're fucking men, it's easy to walk with a companion on the road! If we die, we'll still be brothers!" The captain smiled heartily at his subordinates.

"Captain, give the order. You're going to be fucking crazy for pretending to be a few obedient rebels!" A young voice rang out.

"Well, according to the original plan, first set fire to the attacking equipment, then the food and grass, and finally follow me out of the camp! Kill as many as you can! When we die, some people will remember, and when they die, they will eventually remember The name of the last rebellion!"

At midnight on November 11, in the rebel camp outside Bethleigh, flames suddenly rose into the sky.The 26 soldiers who were responsible for guarding the food and grass turned their backs, took off the armor of the rebels, set fire to part of the food and grass and a large number of siege equipment of the rebels, and then rushed out of the camp to fight bloody with the rebels. All 1000 people died in battle.

When Lun Duo hastily summoned magicians to extinguish the fire, facing a large number of equipment that had been burned to ashes, the betrayer finally experienced the feeling of being betrayed.And on the bodies of these soldiers who died in battle, the four big characters in blood red - "a good soldier" burned his soul even more.

A good soldier, with a thousand good soldiers, is helplessly placed among the rebels.At the critical moment of the battle, they chose to exchange their blood for their innocence, proving the loyalty of a soldier with their lives.

Because the rebel army made a lot of adjustments to the troops, no one knew the name of the captain, and few of the thousand soldiers could find their names after the war.However, they composed the most tragic song in the imperial civil war, dealt a heavy blow to the rebels, made the rebellious imperial army shaken, and strongly supported the defense of Bethleigh.

"You are all my good soldiers! Marshal, I will see you off!"

After Marshal Yantian heard the news, he looked at the rebel camp, tears streaming down his face, and bent down several times to see off his soldiers.He didn't expect that when he inspected the troops these years, the phrase "You are a good soldier" that he often used to praise the soldiers was deeply imprinted in the heart of a young soldier, and a loyal army was created with his growth. Let a thousand young people willingly give up their lives just to prove that they are--a good soldier.
