Lord of the North

Chapter 479: Short-sighted rats and scapegoats

"Pass the order, clean the battlefield, converge the bodies of dead soldiers, strengthen the fortifications, increase the number of secret posts, and be alert to another attack by the enemy." After a night, looking at the chaotic barracks, the temporary commander of the northern coalition army looked tired to his own. The adjutant ordered.

Although the enemy's actions last night were discovered by the surviving secret guards at the last juncture, the rush of preparation time still caused them to be in a hurry when defending against the incoming enemy, and they failed to organize a very effective defense.

But fortunately, the enemy’s offensive came suddenly and went very quickly. This attack and battle took less than an hour. After they had prepared a defensive formation and stabilized their position, Lancelot led The army retreated in such a big way.

At that time, the temporary commander-in-chief almost spit out old blood, and that feeling was really uncomfortable.

It’s just that what makes him more uncomfortable is yet to come, that is, a small half of the food they hoarded has been burned. Although the problem is not big, after all, the Marquis of Bode will soon rush to the front with a large number of war materials, but this pair Their morale will still be frustrated.

Moreover, after dawn this morning, from the commanders of the battalions to the ordinary soldiers, everyone’s faces were filled with irresistible depression, because they were all elite fighters from all over the country, but their barracks were last night. Being regarded as their own home, they came and left as they wanted, taking away the lives of thousands of their colleagues without any pressure.

Only less than three hundred corpses were left behind.

What a sarcasm, plus some time ago the best commander was killed in battle, and they immediately lost confidence in this war.

Even knowing that their next marshal is Bod Kryon, the fox of the north, cannot restore the confidence that they have slowly lost due to repeated setbacks in this war.

"My lord, please order to retreat." But at this moment, a few nobles with wounds walked over in fear, and said with a trembling voice.

After hearing these words, the interim marshal turned around and looked at these few people expressionlessly and said: "Marshal Sandra and Your Majesty are under tremendous pressure and sacrificed tens of thousands of brave soldiers to successfully cross the Chenhe River. , Now you tell me to withdraw again?"

He knew very well that after Marshal Sandra passed away, these high-ranking military officials gradually gave birth to a retreat mind, so this sentiment spread rapidly in the military, but even if he died, he couldn't agree to this kind of thing.

"But you have also seen that even the body of Lord Sandra has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and you can't command all the soldiers to say something bad. We are now in a situation of passive beating. Ah, if the attack like last night happened a few more times, I'm afraid there will be deserters in our army. I am afraid that mutiny may happen." A nobleman couldn't help but persuade him, and said something serious.

It’s just that what he said is really true. Now the provisional marshal was launched to stabilize the military’s morale in order to avoid the emergence of a group of dragons without a leader, and the morale of the current barracks is very unstable. In case of any accident, there can be a man. He can stand up to the crime, he is more like a scapegoat for many forces.

"Unless I am dead, no one can take a step back to Chenhe!" The marshal widened his eyes and looked at the few people very angry and roared.

"My lord should put the overall situation first!" At this time, another nobleman said solemnly: "You have already seen what happened last night. The enemy's navy is still sailing on the Chenhe River. Once they block the river, We don’t even have a way out!"

In other words, as long as Lancelot dared to be more brutal and confident to block their desperate counterattack, he could transport the army from other landing points to the other side of Chenhe by the water force fleet, completely cutting off their back path.

After hearing this sentence, the marshal was silent, and had to say that if something like this happened to the shock, they would have to think about fighting to the death.

Let's not talk about whether we can defeat the enemies that occupy the right time and place, even if we can defeat them, how many people will survive in the 150,000 army under his command.

Will it still be able to resist the invasion of the Lion Kingdom and even the Dolan Kingdom?

He never thought that the Kingdom of Dolan would really not attack the emptied Kingdom of Lopez because of an alliance agreement. If he had the opportunity to completely annex King Dolan, he would not let this opportunity pass. What is honor?

"Think about it, respectable marshal." The nobleman turned and left after speaking.

"Yes, sir, you better think about it, the Marquis of Bold and Your Majesty will understand you." The remaining nobles also said quickly, and then bowed back and followed the person who left first.

The only thing left is that he may be the most aggrieved marshal in the history of the Lopez Kingdom~www.readwn.com~Finally, on the night of five days later, Lancelot personally led the army to attack their barracks again. , This time even the black crows staying in the north participated in the war almost all.

The secret whistle hidden in the dark was completely removed in just a few minutes. After a few rounds of bow and arrow volleys, five thousand cavalry rushed in, almost instantly overwhelming the marshal who had been deployed outside the barracks in the past few days. Line of defense.

There was a fire in the entire barracks in an instant, and the things the nobles most worried about still happened. There were traitors in the barracks. Although the number was small, there were only a thousand people at most, they still set fire to Phil. This army has brought great chaos!

This attack did not last for more than an hour like last time. This time, the raid led by Lancelot lasted until noon the next day before leading the army to retreat in an orderly manner.

Only a mess was left. According to statistics after the war, they lost about 4,000 people in this raid, while the army led by Lancelot only left the bodies of less than 1,000 people.

This time, the marshal finally couldn't bear the pressure exerted by many nobles and ordered to withdraw to the south bank of Chenhe.

But on the third day after he ordered to withdraw to the south bank of the Chen River, he received a personal letter from the Marquis of Bode, ordering him to hold on to the position on the north bank of the Chen River no matter what threats and difficulties he encountered.

When he finished reading the letter, he couldn't help but sighed up to the sky and spit out a spit of blood before passing out, and then after he woke up, his eyes were dull, and he finally committed suicide one night.

At this moment, the nobles were terribly frightened, and they gathered together to discuss how to face the Marquis of Bode, and finally decided to transfer all the responsibility to the hapless "Marshal Lord".
