Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

The leader of the warrior group, that is a man known for his bravery.His appearance is as powerful as those plateau people 200 years ago, with a sloppy face and thick muscles all over his body.But when he understood the general's hint, his expression changed a little, and he said: "Uh, it's not impossible to let me lead the charge. Of course I would like to rush to the front line to win the victory, but this is really a bit reckless. General , We went, I’m afraid we won’t be able to come back. It’s hard for me to explain this behavior to the soldiers, why don’t you let the God Bless Warriors go! Their beliefs are stronger and they fight more bravely.”

The general nodded and remained silent, while the head of the Blood Spear sneered and said, "The members of God's Blessed Warriors may dare to go, but if they go, they will never come back."

The leader of the warrior group asked him, "Then you go?"

"My soldiers are all archers and well-trained infantry, suitable for defense." The head of Bloodspear touched his beard and said, "What about our newly formed cavalry? Why don't we let them go? Let Growen Go, or let Shia go, it doesn't matter!"

But the general was silent.

"Forget it, this matter is really wrong, let's discuss it in the long run." The old man said and walked down the city wall.

The two regiment leaders looked at each other and felt that something was wrong with the general, but they couldn't tell the reason.

The setting sun was setting, indicating that another day had passed, and the demon named "War" approached again; the crow hovered in the air, as if foreseeing that there would be a delicious corpse here.

……

Everyone can feel that the war is getting closer.

Sir Milan is leading his men to carry out the scorched earth policy. He wants to drive all the civilians around into the city, concentrate the resources, and burn them all if they can't take them away. Nothing can be left for the enemy.A villain like Sir Milan is very suitable to implement this kind of "tyranny".During the war, everything revolved around victory. Although General Akkad had kindness in his heart, he had to issue such an order.

"The big deal is victory, let's compensate our people." The old man said helplessly.

These days, the people of the Gecko Legion have captured the enemy's scouts and spies, and the patrols have been changed from two to three.The men of the Stonehammer Legion repaired the city wall over and over until everyone was too tired to stand upright.

Shia and Growin trained the cavalry in the outskirts of the southern part of Wild Wolf City. After this period of training, the Knights were already looking good.On the one hand, the war horses are very obedient - with Leoric doing translation work in private, the horses can really understand human speech; very fast.

The logistical supplies were shipped from the south to Wild Wolf City one by one along the waterway. The plateau people had a small but big battle, and they had to devote all their efforts to have a chance of victory.The workers at the Wild Wolf Port unloaded boxes of goods and were so tired that they were foaming.

But even though they were going all out to prepare for the battle, a cloud of fear still filled the city.This battle is not only as simple as 200 vs. 200, it also means that the plateau people and the barbarians are confronting each other head-on again after [-] years!The last time was [-] years ago. At that time, the plateau people were still dominant in the middle of the mainland, occupying the north and south of the country. However, they lost to the barbarians. .

Now that the offensive and defensive momentum has reversed, the strengths of the two parties have also reversed.Can the plateau people overcome this nightmare in their hearts?Can the revenge after 200 years be completed?Or, they will be defeated in the same shameful battle as their ancestors, and then they will be driven to the tropical islands further south to be neighbors with monkeys?

The general didn't know the answer, and the soldiers even less.

……

At noon today, a group of generals under General Akkad patrolled the city wall. The general predicted that the enemy would attack the city in a few days.

At this moment, I saw a scout on horseback galloping towards the city gate. There were still two arrows stuck in the man's shoulder.The general hurriedly said, "Let him in quickly!"

The messenger immediately went down to respond, and reported back a moment later: "General, general!The scouts reported that the vanguard of the barbarians was ten miles away!Ready to camp. "

"How is the vanguard?"

"At least 2 people, mainly cavalry, archers and barbarians of the Tukalu tribe, with sufficient supplies, and they are holding the banner of the Crow King!"

Oh, the Crow King.

This matter is troublesome.

The Crow King is one of the ten barbarian kings today and the leader of the Tukalu clan.In fact, the king of the Tukalu tribe is not him, but a young queen named "Lilian".In higher terms, the Crow King is equivalent to the duke bestowed by Lilian.However, this "Duke" has become the true king of Tukalu by relying on his own powerful strength.He emptied the young queen and took control of the military regime. Under his rule, the Tukaru clan was far stronger than ever.

The Crow King believes that the crow is the most intelligent bird and the most cunning bird, so he named himself after this bird.This person is as despicable, insidious, and cunning as a crow... Even if he is thrown into the demon clan, his viciousness is outstanding.On the contrary, he is very politically skilled, with money in one hand and a big stick in the other, he has subdued the vassals in the fief; and he is also a powerful fighter. Although Akkad has never fought against him, he knows that he prestige.

In short, the arrival of the Crow King meant that this battle was definitely going to be tough.

The Crow King has a fierce reputation, and he can be regarded as a ruthless character at the level of children in the plateau.Even the soldiers of the plateau people have heard of this kind of guy, and the news that the soldiers heard will be more exaggerated through word of mouth. What is the crow king with three heads and six arms? The crow king is half human and half beast. There is an undead army composed of demons under the crow king ... All kinds of rumors, true or false, erode the spirit of the soldiers.

Most of the Northern Expeditionary Army was veterans, and these old fritters were fine, knowing that most of the rumors were distorted.However, there are also quite a few recruits here.Most of these recruits were reinforcements sent by the king, young men recruited from various places, or lord guards who had never seen a big scene.These people were almost on the battlefield for the first time, and they had never participated in the victory of the siege battle. In their hearts, the Crow King was the god who came down to earth, and the barbarian warriors were warriors from the sky, and they were invincible.

The general was silent, the others did not speak, and the crows were still circling in the sky.At this time, a soldier quietly left the team, and someone next to him grabbed him and said, "What are you doing?"

The man screamed: "I don't want to fight anymore, I want to go home!" Then he began to cry, "I don't want to die! Let me go! It's too late to go now."

Before the words fell, a sword light flashed, and blood burst out!The man fell to the ground with a scream.

Warlord Shia lightly flicked the sword in his hand, a few drops of blood splashed and glistened in the sunlight.Then she shouted:

"Those who are timid will be cut! Those who retreat will be cut! Those who abandon the sword will be cut!"

Although Shia looks beautiful and gentle, she is a warlord, and if she doesn't have the heart to kill, she can't be in this position.

After the chicken died, the rest of the monkeys became more peaceful.At this time, the general spat on the ground, and then said viciously, "You didn't even see the shadow of the fucking enemy, so you came out to flee? I have fought all my life, and I have never seen cowards like you!"

The old man blushed, pointed at those guys and cursed: "Do you like being a deserter? Well, run away, just run away! Let me see where you can escape! If you lose the battle, the barbarians will definitely slaughter the city. Where will you escape then? Even if you escape back to the south by chance, when the barbarian kings go south in the future, the plateau people will completely perish! Will you still escape? Where can you escape?"

The general's humiliation, on the contrary, aroused the soldiers' sense of honor. The recruits were easy to get ahead, fearful, and brave. After that, the energy disappeared immediately.

Although the morale has stabilized a bit at this time, it is still not good.I'm afraid there will still be a large-scale defeat if a fight really breaks out in a while.If the enemy has enough troops, they will probably besiege the city on all sides. The side with the general is fine, but the walls in other directions are not so good.

The general asked the messenger at this time, "Is there any other information?"

The messenger said: "The enemy's vanguard has mostly infantry, with a small amount of light cavalry, and then there are carts and carts of goods. After that is the main force. There are cavalry, orcs, giants, and siege engines... There are many. The scout said he just had a quick glance, but it is estimated that there are more than a dozen giants, and there are [-] to [-] other vassal races, there are wizards and some unseen beasts."

"Damn it, just come up and set up camp, don't take us seriously." The general sneered.One hundred thousand versus twenty thousand, and the barbarian soldiers are more brave and skilled than the general's, so the Crow King will naturally become arrogant.

But people are crazy, what can you do?Could it be that the plateau people dare to open the city gate and go out to beat the enemy?Impossible, that is, shrinking in the city, can maintain a life like this.

Leoric was beside the general at this time, and he also felt that the atmosphere in this city was not right.Leoric is not yet a general, so he knows the grassroots better. Obviously, the morale is low, and the soldiers are like dogs.Everyone is talking to each other about their anxiety at night, how can we fight with so many barbarians?The barbarian soldiers are so powerful, what should we do?The barbarians heard that they would eunuch captives... If it wasn't to vent their anxiety, then they would just show it off, with a gloomy face and no words, or simply drink a lot of wine and eat a lot of meat to escape reality.

Leoric thought to himself: This battle will definitely not be won if this continues!There is no need for any strategy and tactics, as long as the enemy has a large army to suppress the situation - just move the team there, add a BGM or something, and these brothers will be G immediately.

Although it is said that he has a chance to escape if he is defeated, but if he can win, then it is better to win, right?After all, if the people from the plateau win the battle, Leoric will also be able to join the ranks.What's more, these barbarians burned, killed and looted all kinds of crimes, and they were really anti-human. Out of a simple sense of justice, Leoric didn't want the barbarians to win.

Then is there any way to defeat this "children stop crying" crow king?

Children stop crying?

Leoric Inspiration was a success!

Well, this idea might work!

Chapter 23: I am the God of Liao alive

This is a bold tactic, and one that only traversers can think of.

Speaking of "Children stop crying", we have to talk about the source of this allusion.

Zhang Liao, a famous general in the Three Kingdoms period, is the god of Liao who is the head of the five good generals.

Zhang Liao's most famous battle is probably the battle of Xiaoyaojin.In this battle, the Liao God's [-] cavalry defeated Sun Quan's [-] army. From then on, Zhang Liao gained the reputation of "Magic Jiangdong, Children Stop Crying", and Sun Quan also liked to mention the title of "Sun Shiwan".

So how did the battle go?In fact, it is very simple to say.At that time, Cao Cao took the main force to beat Uncle Liu Huang. Uncle Liu Huang couldn't stand it, so he hurriedly told Sun Quan, who was not Sun Shiwan at the time, Brother Sun, Cao Cao wanted to fuck me, and I couldn't keep an eye on him. In this way, I will pay you half in Jingzhou Well, then you go and poke his butt, okay?

It is to let Sun Quan go to fight Hefei.

You must know that Sun Quan has coveted Hefei for a long time. For Sun Quan, Hefei is the best choice for him to go north in the future.Now that Cao Cao's main force is not there, Liu Bei still uses Jingzhou to beg me to fight. With such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can General Sun not fight?

Hit, hit the fuck!

Sun Quan ordered [-] elite soldiers and generals, and took Jiang Qin, Lu Meng, Gan Ning, Ling Tong and other generals to take Hefei in one fell swoop!

The defender of Hefei at this time is Zhang Liao, and there are [-] soldiers under his command.

To be reasonable, seven thousand is against one hundred thousand, and it can't be beaten anyway! F2+A also won.

Yes, seven thousand is no match for one hundred thousand.

But [-] vs [-] is over!

Because he is the God of Liao!

At that time, Zhang Liao thought about it, seven thousand versus one hundred thousand, our army's morale was low, and we had to lose its momentum to reassure the hearts of the people!God of Liao must have seen that Sun Quan no longer treats me as a human being with a [-] army. I am very arrogant. Why don't I lead [-] cavalry to kill him by surprise? If we win this battle, our army's morale will definitely be improved Shout out!

So in the early morning of the next day, Zhang Liao opened the city gate and rushed out with [-] dead soldiers. Sun Shiwan's mother didn't know who he killed.In this battle, Liao God himself killed dozens of soldiers, first killed Chen Wu, and then chased Song Qian and Xu Sheng to death. Sun Quan was so frightened that he climbed up a small slope to escape for his life. In the middle of the charge, it was like a violent jeep that honked its horn and drifted in the finals.

It took a long time for the Soochow army to come to their senses, thinking that something was wrong!Isn't it that I am one hundred thousand and you are eight hundred, why is this battle fought like you are one hundred thousand and I am eight hundred?So the crowd surrounded Zhang Liao, intending to surround and kill him.However, God Liao saw that the encirclement was not stable, so he rushed left and right, and easily broke through and ran away.At this time, something even more outrageous happened. After Liaoshen ran away, some soldiers were surrounded. In desperation, someone shouted, "Has the general abandoned me?" He returned his carbine and rescued everyone.

Zhang Liao pretended to be aggressive and ran away, and Qi even ran away with his brothers. After the battle, the morale of the defenders in the city was greatly boosted, but Sun Quan's morale was ruined-one hundred thousand and eight hundred could lose , is this still a fart?Could Zhang Liao be a god?Later, Sun Quan did not take down the city after besieging the city for more than ten days, and then the food and grass supplies could not keep up, so he withdrew in a hurry.Before leaving, I didn't know which tendon was wrong, let the big troops go first, and the main general stayed behind, so Zhang Liao was stunned. The fierce generals almost died fighting to cover him, and Ling Tong swam to escape. .

Since then, the God of Liao has had the title of Xiaoer Zhiti in Jiangdong.

This passage is recorded in official history, so how do you say that?Reality is more exaggerated than fiction, because fiction still needs to follow logic, but reality does not.

At this moment, isn't the situation the same as the battle of Xiaoyaojin?The enemy has an army of [-], and we have only [-]. Morale is also low, and the enemy is arrogant and underestimated.And we have exactly [-] cavalry in our hands, which is equivalent to lacking a Liao God now!

"General!" Leoric stepped forward and said, "I have an idea."

The general turned his head and said, "Say!"

Leoric said: "The enemy is arrogant and underestimated the enemy. Our morale is low. At this time, we need a victory to stabilize the morale of the army. I am willing to lead [-] cavalry out of the city to meet the enemy, kill the enemy, behead the general, and capture the flag!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of exclamation from the audience-how much courage did it take to say these words?All the soldiers present were surprised, and some even thought it was reckless, and it was death.

In Leoric's view, this cavalry defense method of "defending the city without playing cards according to the routine" was created by the God of Liao, and later became a normal operation during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It is a strange move, but not amazing.However, there is no God of Liao in this world!There is no general like him.Therefore, I have read all the history of wars, and I can't find an example of "the defender of the city first sent out [-] cavalry to make a surprise attack, and then returned with a big victory".

What's more, most of the soldiers here fight for a living, who the hell is willing to die with you?

So after the initial exclamation, voices of opposition came from the legion—it can be said that more than half of the legion commanders were against this reckless death-death tactic.And the opinion of the legion commander can basically represent the opinions of the soldiers. All of these soldiers are sullen and silent, let alone their morale is boosted, and they are all terrified.

Only the two leaders of the Warriors and Bloodspears did not speak.Because they remembered what the general had said to them on the city wall before.The two of them thought at the same time: Isn't Leoric's tactics exactly the same as General Akkad's tactics at that time?This guy actually thought of going with the general?Should he be said to be reckless, or should he be said to be of a higher level?

The general showed a very complicated expression, and said, "Leoric, you mean to take [-] cavalry out to kill a circle and then come back? Well, this tactic is very good and bold, but it is [-] against [-]. , how do you get out after going in?"

Leoric felt that the old man's tone was not right, as if deliberately leading him to continue speaking.He thought for a while and said, "I have four reasons."

The old man nodded and said, "Tell me about it."

Leoric said: "First of all, judging from the formation reported by the scouts just now, the Crow King doesn't take us seriously. The stronger he is, the easier it is to be arrogant, and the Crow King is probably no exception. Secondly, although the Crow King has many soldiers , but most of the front row is infantry, and the formation is scattered. Our army is a mixture of heavy cavalry and light cavalry, and it is also a mixed blood horse of the demon race, and it is fighting on the plains! The horses in this kind of place charge up, relying on them The loose formation is absolutely unstoppable! In addition, although the barbarians are proficient in cavalry combat, they have no experience in fighting infantry against cavalry, and they are not good at forming infantry formations. Using cavalry to charge their infantry is hitting their weakness. And most importantly, they don't know that I have cavalry!"

Leoric was right. His eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "The general has kept the cavalry affairs so tight, isn't it just a chance to catch the enemy by surprise?"

After these words were finished, even those generals who were most opposed to this tactic had to admit that this tactic was feasible.And the general also looked at Leoric with a very gratified expression, thinking: This kid is indeed brave and resourceful, maybe he can take over from me when I can't hold the sword anymore.

"General, how is it?"

"Hmm..." General Akkad looked at the barbarian army in the north and said, "There is indeed a certain possibility, then... Growin, head of the cavalry regiment, are you willing to lead [-] cavalry to complete this task? "

Growin had already guessed that the general would entrust him with important tasks, after all, he was the head of the cavalry regiment.At this time, he stepped forward and gave a military salute, and said, "Yes, general! But eight hundred cavalrymen... shall I bring them all?"

Now Growin only has [-] under his command, and there are [-] left for Shia.In terms of carrying out this mission, Shia and Growin should be on it together.

The general nodded and said, "Well, let you..."

"General!" At this time Leoric and Shia shouted in unison.

General Akkad looked at the two and said, "Oh? You are very active. But I have already made up my mind about this mission..."

Shia took a step forward and said, "General, it's taboo to change generals just before the battle. I have always led the four hundred cavalrymen, and now they are suddenly handed over to Captain Growin... It's not that I don't trust Growin's ability, it's just that I worry that the soldiers will become unaccustomed."

Leoric also took a step forward, and said anxiously: "General, although I have never led cavalry, I am very good at fighting! Besides, I found the horse, and I came up with the strategy. Why don't you let me go?" Come on!"

Shia's reasoning is still reasonable, but Leoric is a bit messy.But the general didn't answer the two of them immediately, but waved to them and said, "Come with me."

The two of them didn't know why, and then followed the general for a few tens of meters, and came to a relatively empty place on the city wall.At this time the general said to the two of them: "Xia, first of all, you must not go."

"why?"

The old man said helplessly: "I'll just say it straight, because you are the daughter of Grand Duke Lei Kui."

Shia frowned and said, "Why can't I go as the daughter of Duke Lei Kui?"

"Because you can't die, understand!" The old man widened his eyes and said angrily, "You really don't understand the situation, why did I let you be the warlord before and not manage the army for you? Don't you understand? You can Go to war, but you can't take risks. If something happens to you..." The general said no more.

Shia looked in disbelief, and said: "General! Before I came to the army, I made a life and death certificate, and I swore an oath to the Seven Gods, saying that I am not afraid of death, but of failure. My father and you both know about this. ah!"

The old man said, "But your father doesn't want you to die, do you understand?"

"Of course I understand..."

"No, your 'understand' is different from what I said 'understand', how can I tell you..." General Akkad's expression was like eating a bowl of spoiled capers, he thought for a long time before Said: "Son, there are three children in your family. The eldest brother has died in battle; the second brother can't give birth to children because of injuries; then only you are left, and then our king passed a decree half a year ago, that is, nobles Even when there is no son, a woman can also inherit the title of title... Do you understand this point?"

"I..." Shia was stunned, she never knew about her second brother, and she never thought about inheriting the title.

"However, if there is no such decree, then the title should belong to your uncle, or his son. The new decree allows some nobles to keep their own family business, but it also increases the instability. Your father and I It is said that a woman's hereditary title must not be convincing to the public, but if she has been on the battlefield, it is another story, because the nobles are greedy but also timid, no one dares to resist the duchess who has really killed people."

"So, Shia, you are actually here to gild." The old man said this, making it hard for Shia to accept the fact.

Shia was stunned for a moment, and Leoric looked at her gloomy face, and couldn't even think of a word to comfort her.What kind of person is Shia?Leoric was with her these days and knew her very well.Shia is upright, brave and kind, meticulous in doing things, and has almost gathered all the good qualities that a soldier can have.Her idea of ​​joining the Northern Expedition was very pure, to fight, kill thieves, and restore the country, so as to avenge the shame, so that the people on the border would no longer have to worry about it, and let everyone live a better life.For this reason, she did not hesitate to do 996, and she did not hesitate to sacrifice her life.

So you tell her now that you are actually the rich second generation sent by your father to be gilded?When you are almost done with gold plating and polishing, you can go back and inherit the family business?Isn't that equivalent to saying that everything you did before was a joke?

I can't stand it.

Shia's expression was tense, and she felt that she was going to cry in the next second. She asked the general in a hoarse voice, "Then why did you lead the cavalry regiment for me?"

The general showed a sad expression, and said: "I really didn't think about it. I asked you to lead the knights because the knights were safer. After all, in my original tactical system, the knights were mainly used to fight against the wind. fighting."

Shia is like a stone sculpture, as if the blood in her body is no longer flowing.

The general took a step forward and said, "Son, you are still young, and you still have a lot of time. After becoming a nobleman, you will have more opportunities to make achievements." Then the general patted Leoric's head with his hand, and said earnestly: "It's the same for you, Leoric, don't rush to die!"

Can I be in a hurry?
