~: One thousand six hundred and sixty-five

   In northern Gaul in mid-November, the ground was frozen, thousands of miles of snow drifted, and after a cold snowstorm, an unexpected period of calm weather appeared.

  

In the empire marching north from the direction of Gaul Kyoto, the Xianyang Army and Saron’s Northward Regiment met at Antura. The total force of the two armies was 87,000, and the empire warriors Saron and Hu Keqili were combined. Among others, Gaul's total military strength was reduced from the original 140,000 with the absolute superiority to the current 110,000, with the 30,000 Duke of Duke Simon, the Northern Commander of the first wave of confrontation, the gap in strength was reduced It is difficult to maintain the advantage because it is small, and when the soldiers learn that they are facing the elite central army of the Falcon Empire, the morale shake is a serious wound that is difficult to heal in a short time.

  

Tie Lan held an emergency meeting at the small fortress in the pass. First of all, he expressed the sorrow for the death of the Empire’s Northern Chief Duke Simon for the country, but his eyes were all indifferent, his body leaned forward, his hands replayed on the table, his eyes reappeared The generals who swept under the panic for a while, Shen Sheng said

  

"Everyone, we are the last power of the empire in the north. Originally as an emperor, we should make our first priority to annihilate the enemy of the invasion, but this time, our situation is very bad. The northern town of Antura has fallen into the Falcon. In the hands of the army, all our ties with Kyoto were cut off, the enemy’s total strength increased from 30,000 to 80,000, and the commander changed from the sergeant Saron to a hunting that made countless Gallic generals tremble. This change of the Eagle Empire Emperor Vickia Falcon is enough to make the plan we originally envisaged to defeat the Falcon Empire's northward advance with three times the force impossible to implement. Now we must make a choice whether to fight! or to go further north Place to evacuate!"

  

   "Naturally it's fighting! We have superior strength! And we are still fighting on the ground" Ruhr, the 11th Infantry Commander of the Northern Army who just belonged to Tielan, stood up and seemed a little careless."

  

   As soon as his words were spoken, he heard a scornful voice from inside the general of the Kyoto general, and the generals in Kyoto whispered something.

  

   "Is there something wrong?"

  

   Ruhr's face was a little uncertain. He looked at Tielan sitting on the main seat and saw that the face of the head of the Kyoto army looked ugly, like a slap in the face.

  

"Although I don't want to raise the enemy and strike myself, I still have to say" This is a middle-aged general standing up from the general Zhong Xianjun in the opposite side. He looked directly at the stunned Ruhr on the opposite side. Say "Master Ruhr, you admit that you have fought against the Falcon Army many times. So you dare to make such a judgment lightly, but please ask Master Ruhr to recognize that the falcon empire has always dealt with you before. Saron, the opponent is only about 30,000 falcon army units, but now, we are facing the emperor of the falcon empire, under his command is a real elite force of up to 50,000 falcon empire, in this case , Also shouting for battle! Fighting with Vickia Falcon and the like. If there is no more than 300,000 strength advantages, and there is no perfect preparation, this is what someone without brain thinking can say."

  

   "What do you mean!"

  

  Ruhr was said to be a bit ignorant. It didn't take long before the reaction came, and the opposite side was scolding himself!

  

He stood up suddenly and responded with a strong tone, "Master Bailu, although you are a general of the Kyoto army. From a big place like Kyoto, but your joke is not funny at all, is he Vickia Falcon? It’s not human. The fighting strength of the Falcon Army is elite, but we have also fought against them. Although their current strength has grown to 80,000, we are 110,000! And we are well equipped, occupying local advantages, and adopting It’s defense. It’s already mid-November. As long as it drags on for another month, the north will enter the most terrible cold. Even if he is known as the invincible God of War, he will choose to retreat because of the winter supply problem!"

  

   "Master Ruhr, do you know what you mean by staying for a month! What does it mean?" The inexplicable sadness flashed on the face of the Kyoto general called Bailu, his eyes flickered.

  

   "Is it difficult to insist on one month for 110,000 to 80,000!" Ruhr took a deep breath and asked not to be weak.

  

   "Stupid, not self-control"

  

   "I really stand and speak without backache"

  

  The general of the Kyoto army opposite is like a drop of water falling into the boiling boiling oil. Instantly, the pan exploded,

  

A general said angrily, "The Battle of Rastie, like us, took advantage of the strength of the local defensive. The Vickia Falcons with 300,000 troops, just a sweep, a month, our imperial army lost 600,000 people before and after the battle. There are as many as 67 generals in captivity alone. The Battle of Danny, the battle of the elite forces of your northern army, is also less than a month away, and 170,000 elite troops have lost this battle. Now you tell me , As long as you insist on a month, you know how ironic and ridiculous this sentence sounds now!

  

  "One month, with a well-equipped 110,000 army, fighting against the central army of the most powerful empire under the Wikiya Falcon, that is looking for death!" said another general of the Kyoto General

  

"The previous battles have shown that any strong defense and so-called strength advantage is a joke in front of the most terrifying top commander of the continent, Vickia Falcon! And our supplies are afraid that they will not last for more than a month! Before the Falcon Army collapses, we will collapse first!"

  

   "Well, everyone is quiet!"

  

Tielan waved his hand, let the quarrel stop, and felt a headache when watching the chaotic situation in front of him. The Kyoto army was not a northerner. Now it wants the Kyoto army to fight against the elite force of Falcon Empire led by Vickia Falcon for the north. These generals certainly don’t do it. The northern army represented by Ruhr is a different matter. As the troops responsible for the defense of the imperial north, most of them are natives of the north. These northern troops naturally hope to stick to their hometowns.

  

  Tielan rubbed her eyebrows with a headache, feeling that she was in a dilemma.

  

The strength of the Vickia Falcon is obvious to all. The first thing that His Majesty Falcon arrived in the North was to swallow the core of the North, Antura, to grasp the active group of the Northern War, and then waved to the Empire The Bidan Army, proud of the Duke Simon of the North, has completely turned into a pile of corpses. The next step must be to wipe out 110,000 troops under his command and completely put the northern control of the Empire in the Falcon Empire. Against this majestic falcon, Tielan felt a feeble frustration.

  

The battle between Rasti and the blood flow of the imperial team seems to be still in front of his eyes. Only after experiencing the horror of the invincible commander can I know how difficult it is to make up my mind to fight against it, just like it has not been engaged in battle. Knowing that it was doomed to fiasco, the commander who issued this order needed steel-like willpower,

  

   Otherwise, I thought that if I handed down tens of thousands of people, even hundreds of thousands of them to the enemy's butcher, the commander would collapse because of guilt. In this regard, although it is not said, the person whom Tielan admires most is actually Hasen Rambo! This first Gaulian military will definitely be regarded as worthy of the name. Just the unwillingness of the will will far exceed the other generals. If it is not the powerful skyward of the opposite Vickia Falcon, Hasen Rambo may not be No chance to become a famous ZTE general in the Gaul Empire,

  

   "Actually, I personally think that His Majesty Falcon may not want to fight with us immediately!" In the silence, on the left side of Tielan's seat representing the Northern Army, it was like a murmur.

  

"what?"

  

   everyone's eyes suddenly focused on the past

  

   "Pat, what did you just say?"

  

  Tielan thought she had heard it wrong and asked again. The expressions of other people are the same. It is really the voice of the 10th Infantry Commander of the Northern Army who was just too soft

  

Bald Pat hesitated for a while. "The subordinates said that the Vickia Falcon is like us, and does not necessarily want to start playing immediately. Because for now, this no Falcon eats Simon in one bite, it should be Immediately oppressed us. But the opponent did not immediately turn to our direction, but withdrew to Antura, which shows that the opponent also swayed between war and non-battle because of the weakness of the lack of troops! If you fight, we It may not be possible to defeat him, but our side is in a deadly posture, and the other party must consider that if 80,000 troops will eat us 110,000 people at a bit, at least half of the troops will be lost. His Majesty Falcon should It’s also worth noting!"

  

   "In this way, we don't have to fight against the Falcon!" The generals of the Kyoto army began to commotion. "Yeah, yeah, the other party didn't take the tactics of pressing. We can..."

  

"That guy took the big posture of attacking the North this time, but we were accidentally put together. We just ate a small fish like Simon 30,000 Bidan Army and should be very angry, but now it seems that we are not completely absent. Opportunity!" Tie Lan's eyes lit up and her fingers lightly tapped the armrest

  

   "Don't tell me, do you want to negotiate privately with the enemy?"

  

Another figure stood up, and Ruhr looked at the Kyoto generals on the opposite side. A bit of sadness flashed in his eyes. These guys ran when the North was good, and now they turned into a muddy pond, and immediately thought of pulling their legs and leaving. , These Kyoto **** absolutely do this kind of thing privately,

  

  Under his indignant eyes, the generals of the opposite Kyoto army turned their eyes unconsciously, and even Master Tielan kept silent, and the room calmed down. "Shameless, how can you..." Ruhr said angrily, "As an emperor, your behavior is treason!"

  

   "We are not a treason, but choose to evacuate when the situation is unfavorable! We are not surrendering, nor independent, just retreating!" Kyoto generals responded

  

   "What is the difference between evacuating and abandoning the north!"

  

   "Does it make a difference if we all die in the north? We are the Kyoto army, not the northern army. Do you want us to be so responsible for the erosion of the northern war situation?" The generals of the Kyoto army said aggressively

  

"For fear of war, you cowards! Such a meeting is really sad! I request to leave first." Ruhr paid a military salute to Tie Lan, pushed the bench away, and hurried out of the meeting room. The other two Northern Army General Pat and Elind followed quickly, and the three had just left.

  

   The entire conference room exploded, and the generals of the Kyoto Army indignantly said, "Adult, this kind of person who does not know how to be grateful, he should let himself die!"

  

   "Yeah, these northern troops really don't know how important they are, and we are not northerners, why should we die for the north!" Some people echoed and said, "Tomorrow will send them to the battlefield, leaving them is also cumbersome!"

  

"Okay, this is the meeting for today!" Tie Lan's face gloomy stood up from the seat. He glanced at the following lineage, and said coldly, "Let's go back and prepare. In the past two days, we will evacuate." "

  

   "So the Northern Army?" someone asked

  

   "I will deal with it!" Tie Lan waved her hand grimly,

  

   walked out of the meeting room and stopped in the corner of the corridor outside. He heard the rapid footsteps after coming to himself, heard someone yelling his name, turned around, and saw Pat and Elind, the same fellow of the Northern Army

  

"Ruhr, you were too reckless just now, you know, this is not our territory! Although we are the Northern Army, but now also under the command of the Kyoto Army's Tielan," Ai Lin German complained from behind Coming up, followed by an indifferent bald Pat, Edlin kept complaining that Ruhr should not lose his temper at the meeting. You should not offend the Kyoto Army because of this incident. After all, if you really go to Kyoto, you still need to rely on the adults of the Kyoto Army

  

   "Elind, will you go to Kyoto with them?"

  

  Ruhr couldn't listen anymore. Raised his head violently, with a trace of sarcasm on his angry, red face. Bloody eyes made Elinde's complaint stop

  

   "Ruhr, you know, I am from Kyoto!"

  

Elind paused for a moment, shrugged his shoulders pale, and said helplessly, "It is my dream to return to Kyoto. And my family also needs me! Staying here is a torment for me, I can’t refuse the invitation of Master Tielan, do you know any rare opportunities like this...

  

   "Okay. I get it!" Ruhr interrupted his words without any care, and looked at Pat behind Elind

  

   "What about you, Pat!" Ruhr asked, and he had the best relationship with Pat. If you want someone to help yourself, Pat is the best person to think about. Fighting is fierce, the most important thing is that Pat has a decisive force

  

   "I will follow Master Tieran to Kyoto!"

  

Pat shook his head for sure and reached out and patted Ruhr’s shoulder. “Actually from the northern army, the elders were asked to go to Kyoto. I knew that the north had been abandoned by Kyoto. It was a stern saying that the North supported Kyoto’s war of resistance, but in fact, the Kyoto side never cared about the life and death of the North. From the fact that they will transfer Yard, who knows the value of the North, and sent a person who only knows the income. The duke Simon who presided over northern affairs knew that Kyoto just wanted an area that could provide their soldiers, weapons, mines, and food,

  

  "It’s not at all worthwhile to work for such a person," Pat paused, and continued, "There is only one result of staying in the north, dead or captured, and my one is not willing to choose!

  

"In this way, even you gave up the North, and gave up the oath that was made together!" Ruhr frowned, and punched **** the wooden pillar of the corridor. Blood was left from the position of the broken joint, he Looking at the white earth outside the corridor, full of grief, as an authentic northerner, the earth in front of him is like a mother to him,

  

  The companions who had vowed to guard were gone one by one, even Pat chose to leave,

  

   There is no trace of cloud in the white sky, a trace of unspeakable loneliness rises in his heart,

  

   The once glorious northern army battle flag, will we part ways after tonight? "

  

  I will leave tomorrow and lead the troops to Koalatha further north. Even if there is a chance, I will fight hard for the north to the death, if one day I really do. . . . I hope you can remember to put a battle flag of the Northern Army on my grave. "Ruhr turned to look at Pat, his mouth smiled slightly, his face has never been so firm, he turned to the other side.

  

"Old friend, it seems that you still made a choice!" Pat looked down in pain and couldn't bear to witness. The lower right wrist turned and a cold light dagger appeared in his hands, watching Ruhr's defenseless. 'S back, with a thunderous thunder, his dagger pierced into the back of Ruhr's heart,

  

  "Ah" Ruhr made a painful dull sound, turned his head in disbelief, and looked at Pat holding the dagger behind him

  

"You!" Ruhr's voice trembled in pain. He couldn't believe he would die in the hands of his best friend and wanted to speak, but his mouth was blocked by broken internal organs and blood. Thumping, Pat pulled out his dagger, Ruhr’s body seemed to have lost its bracket, collapsed into his arms, and blood spattered on the side of the stunned Elind

  

"You...why!" Elind was frightened. He looked at Pat's uncommon face and felt a cold burst from behind his head. It was terrible. Pat, who had always been careless, was so terrible. expression!

  

"There are enough people killed by the Northern Army~lightnovelpub.net~ For something that should have been abandoned, his insistence will only let more people die! I can guarantee that if Ruhr does not die, our Northern Army Everyone will receive an order to attack Antura tomorrow." Pat spread his hands flat and slowly laid Luer's body flat. His eyes looked at Luer, who had no breath, and there was a trace of pain in his face. Shen Sheng said, "You can now go back to Master Tielan and say that the eleventh commander of the Empire, Ruhr, has just died in despair! The Northern Army will follow Master Tielan to Kyoto!"

  

  At noon, Tielan's reply book reached the hands of the fat man. Put down the reply book in his hand. The fat man's face was not too relaxed.

  

  Tielan’s 110,000 troops, really chose to return to Kyoto, the fat man will order the troops to put on a road, next to Tielan’s reply, there is also a letter received yesterday,

  

The person who wrote the letter was Pat, the commander of the 10th Infantry of the Northern Army of the Gaul Empire. The general of the Northern Army expressed his sincerity to the fat man in the letter, and guaranteed that the Tielan forces would choose to avoid the engagement , Back to Kyoto,

  

   But as a condition,

  

   Pat hopes that the Falcon Emperor who has control of the North will be able to treat the northern military family members of more than 1 million people,

  

  When he got the letter, the fat man knew that the once glorious Gaul Northern Army was completely finished!
