Chapter 620 [Counter-Attack]

“Sir, you mean...”

“Sir, I object! It's too risky! ”

“My lord, I don't think we have enough counter-attack force in our hands right now! ”

“My lord, I think this is an irresponsible adventure! Although our army has barely reached 200,000, most of them were the last defeated army. They have not been rehabilitated and morale has not been restored..."

Looking at the fierce opposition of many generals in the lobby, Dewey remained quietly seated in his seat. In front of him, there was a long sword on the table, a relic belonging to the late Count Raymond, which Dewey wore beside him this time on the battlefield.

The eyes slowly swept through the crowd and looked at the faces or worries, dissatisfaction, or surprise of a group of generals - fortunately, the ten cadet officers from the Imperial Military Academy did not speak up. As Dewey's lineage, these young men have maintained absolute obedience and trust in Dewey - but there is still some confusion and confusion in their eyes.

Dewey glanced at his brother, Gabriel holding his lips silent, his eyes looking at the tip of his boot.

Then Dewey said:

“It has been two months since our army was assembled in the city of Yakin. The defeat of the Fortress of the Front Line, that tragic defeat was in sight. And, needless to say, you should all understand that while the enemy has never gone south, the loss of the fortress and the river defense has damaged the integrity of the entire Kabaski line! We have a huge gap on our defensive line. If the enemy dares to take risks, they can even send troops directly from this crossing to our inner abdomen and even sneak into the rear of the central fortress to heavily transport the line! ”

As soon as Dewey gave the order, the two protagonists unfolded the map hanging on the wall, and he glanced at the crowd and said, "See? ”

“Your concern makes sense.” A general stepped out, not of Dewey's line, but of the second line, which belonged to the Eastern Front, cleared his voice and slowed down: “As you said, if the enemy dares to take risks, they can sneak up on our central line of defense from the south of the fortress to the west, but... I don't think that's likely to happen. We still have heavy build-up here. And if the enemy tries to ride south lightly, it is impossible to hide the news. Once their troops sneak south, they will be blocked by us. Even if they flow into our inner abdomen, we can block their way back. Then their troops south will become a lone army! Without backup and support from the supply, an isolated army cannot pose a great threat in our bellies. ”

“But they can burn and loot.” Dewey said softly: 'And we cannot rely on the‘ dare not risk ’of our enemies. ”

“I do not think that this is within our consideration for the time being.” The commander of this statement is still insisting, and his statement represents the position of quite a few generals - seeing others nodding their heads, Dewey sighed in his heart: it is not his own army, it is not very easy to do. First of all, these people are superficially submissive to their commander, who has landed in the air, but may not be tempted.

“Even if enemies sneak up on our inner abdomen, they can only cause some harassing chaos at best, and they will not be willing to sacrifice an army just to cause riots among some civilians. This will not be lost. I don't think the enemy would be so stupid.” The general's words were resolute and disrespectful, and in the end he could barely say "you don't know military common sense”.

“As long as we hold fast to the city of Yakin, the enemy will not dare to bypass our true south! Those harassing attacks do not create a climate. ”

Dewey snorted and looked at the general: "You mean, there's no need to take back the fallen fortress? ”

The general looked down and whispered, “My lord, that's not what I meant, but we're not ready yet! Now it looks like we've assembled 200,000 troops in Yajin City, but more than half of them are defeated by the Bird of Shock, morale has not recovered, and there are many more wounded! And a lot of armies, after you disrupted the formation and regrouping, need a grinding period...”

Speaking of which, he paused deliberately and glanced back at Dewey, which meant that he was obviously very dissatisfied with Dewey's disruption of the 100,000 defeated troops of the Storm Regiment to reconstitute this overrun.

Dewey waved impatiently: "When do you think you'll be able to counterattack the fortress? Wait till next year? ”

The commander coldly chuckled twice and said with a low tone: “You are the commander, and I do not seem to decide this question. ”

Dewey laughed out of anger.

That's good. That's really good!

When the war was defeated, there was chaos in Yakin City, and the second-line troops behind these storm legions, one by one, panicked like a sad dog, were constantly panicking, and after their arrival, the situation stabilized. At the outset, these people, relying on their reputation, stabilized their hearts and minds step by step.

Now that the crisis seems to have gradually passed, these proud warriors have begun to disobey their deployment.

Ultimately, these men belong to the Storm Legion, and they are not very comfortable with themselves, the commander who came down from the emperor.

Previously, he forcibly broke up 100,000 defeated armies for reconstruction, disguised himself as depriving many Storm Legion defeated generals of military power, and the rabbit died of sadness, which was also dissatisfied with the Storm Legion's line of generals. How many days of dissatisfaction have finally broken out?

As this guy said, as long as we hold Yakin, the army of criminals will not detour south until it overtakes this place. But... Dewey's consideration is not to keep dragging it here!

He went to the fortress and saw with his own eyes that the fortress was being dismantled and the military castles and positions of criminals rebuilt on the north shore!

If we continue to wait, then the initiative of the war will fall into the snow once the criminals have stabilized their feet on the north shore! By then, the snow can firmly grasp the defense line of the river channel, the opportunity is lost first!

What Dewey wants is more than just steadfastness. What he needs is victory!

As he and Snowfall have said, even if the ultimate goal is peace, at the negotiating table for the signing of a peace agreement, humanity must stand as a victor!

Continue to wait for the criminals to digest the entire territory of the north little by little, stabilize their heels and secure their roots?

You have to get ahead of yourself and disrupt each other's steps!

More importantly, Dewey thinks this is the best time to fight back!

From what he saw in the snow, it was clear that the snow was ready to give up the fortress! The resistance of the other party will not be too strong right now, and it is likely that it will be a "victory” in any event, high or low gold, but at least a great boost to the morale of the human army after a tragic defeat.

And what annoys Dewey more is the fact that he's made it very clear to these people.

However, they continue to be opposed.

While there is a good reason to be steadfast, but now this situation, if not counter-attack, wait for the other party to tear the fortress apart into a white field and grow?

To think of it, Dewey's eyes quickly cooled and he stared closely at the opposing general - a division leader in the Storm Legion's second-line army with the rank of Major General of the Empire.

“You.” Dewey stood up, pointing distantly at each other's noses, with a hint of laughter in her tone: “I want to ask a question. Is it because you really don't think this plan is going to work, or because you're afraid of war?” Speaking of which, Dewey paused deliberately before continuing to slow down: “Or is it because pure heart dissatisfaction with me? ”

“My Lord!” The general's face changed and he bit his teeth, but he's still holding his neck: “I'm just being reasonable! You are the Lord General, and behave with caution. You know, when it comes to fighting, the Lord will have an idea, often deciding the lives and deaths of thousands of soldiers! ”

“Ha!” Dewey laughed furiously: “Oh, you think I won't fight anymore? ”

Dewey glanced at each other's badge: “Well, you're 36 years old, you're Major General of the Empire, and you've been in the Storm Legion for years... but are you a good fighter? ”

Speaking of which, the tone of Dewey was clear: “I was just under twenty years old. I had seen a prairie iron rider in the northwest. I had killed a rebel general of the Northwest Army. The battle did not oblige you to teach me a general who had only been out in the barracks. ”

Then Dewey sat back and looked at the miserable face, but there was an angry guy hidden in his eyes, and he didn't feel bad: he was just an idiot who didn't know what to do, and he couldn't be angry with such a person.

“You should be thankful for my mercy, because your move, if you had replaced a harsh commander, would have sent your army as cannon dust. Though you are foolish and selfish, there is no need for your generals to be punished for this.” Dewey sat on the chair and gently fluttered a fountain pen on the front table: “Well, I've heard your ‘reasoning' and now you've listened carefully to my orders! ”

Dewey snapped, broke the fountain pen in his hand, and then threw it hard at the map on the wall, snatching a sound, and the half pen was exactly stuck in the position of the fortress on it!

“Pass me the order, Army-wide level one! The 1st 3rd Division is in charge of the main attack, and the 5th and 7th Division are in charge of the two-wing follow-up, marching in with forceps to complete the siege of the fortress... I personally led the 2nd Cavalry Division and the Chinese army to participate in the main attack! ”

Speaking of which, Dewey looked hard at a bunch of guys who were still secretly resisting: "The whole army must be ready and ready by tomorrow evening! If anyone breaks orders by then, kill them! I don't care if it's the president or the general! Commander, kill! Affiliate Commander will be halfway through! General disobedient, kill!!” Dewey deliberately swept the field with a fierce look: “I don't care how you do it, this time tomorrow, I'm going to see the soldiers in armor, with swords, in formation! ”

——————————————————————————

As an order continues to be conveyed, whether willingly or unwillingly, the order is suppressed and can only be done by everyone.

In the end, Dewey's “kill” speech was helplessly accepted by those in the Storm Legion who wanted to resist.

As for the leader of the division, who opposed Dewey, his army did not participate in the battle and even Dewey was deprived of his remaining share, an order was sent to his camp that evening, ordering the army to immediately pull out and turn south to maintain the security of the transport route.

The city of Yakin was not beaten by chickens and dogs, and for two months it was rehabilitated. All the troops were fully stocked with armaments and other supplies, except for morale, which still fell short of pre-war levels.

Since those days, Dewey has reintegrated the 3,000 prisoners he brought back into the army. Although at the time of the formation, a number of people had voluntarily asked for direct troops who wished to be able to enter Dewey, and more commander-in-chief officers, to be demoted, even as a captain of a close family soldier next to Dewey.

But these men, Dewey, are seen as the seeds of the future to master this army! How can he master the heart of the army without sowing these seeds that have their own prestige imprint into the grassroots army?

Those forces that collapsed after the fall of the fortress have largely returned to their vigour. Although the regroupment dispersed the original formation, even under duvi's forcible repression, and the number of troops was removed, the resistance was not too strong for those forces that had lost their sharp temper, except for the protests of some high-ranking officers who had lost their power, which Duvi also took as a headwind. At the same time, after the massive integration of prisoners of war into the army and the reappointment of several layers of officers, those high-ranking officers could not help but sigh.

The story of the Duke of Tulip riding alone to the enemy camps to save thousands of prisoners of war, endowed with intense legendary colors, has spread throughout the army, deliberately promoted by thousands of prisoners of war.

A soldier, what is the biggest hope in your heart?

The biggest hope is to meet a good commander! Good commander, you will not sacrifice yourself as cannon ash, you will love your men's generals and respect them! What scares me the most is that, in a time of crisis on the battlefield, you abandon one of your men and run away from the Lord! No one wants to hang out with such a Lord.

Dewey rode to the enemy camp alone, risking his life and death (albeit exaggerated) to save these people, the ones who thought they were already dead!

In the prisoner of war camps, they were filled with pessimism and despair, fearing only that the next day at dawn they would be dragged out to be massacred and their bodies turned into dinners for the Orcs. Or some unknown, terrible, tragic ending.

Most of them didn't even expect to have a chance to go home alive.

And in this case, Dewey appeared, pulled them out of the fire pit alive and brought them back completely. Such a blessing is hardly inferior to rebirth!

Such a Lord, when you die, will save you in spite of the danger of your own life - what more can a soldier ask of such a superior?

So when Dewey appeared in front of the army the next day, he saw a pair of trusted eyes!

Beneath the walls, the black-pressed armies have been queued, as have the armies of all roads in the city's camps.

Dewey's appearance was quite thought-provoking.

He appeared above the walls of the city, and there were no first-hand soldiers or squire on the left or right.

A huge, full-bodied, black-winged vulture, standing high on the walls of the city with claws firmly clamped against the walls! In anticipation, there is a hidden and forceful rage!

And Dewey rides on the back of this vulture, and as he softly screams, the vulture opens its wings and soars down from the tall walls of the city, its wings open and steadily falls in front of the army!

Dewey rides on the vulture and is watched by the eyes of all, including admiration, respect, effective loyalty, trust...

At this moment, Dewey suddenly senses a glitch of power and excitement!

These soldiers, it's up to me to decide their lives and deaths! When I give the order, these people will fight for me with their lives!

“Gentlemen! ”

Dewey, riding on a lion vulture, suddenly grabbed a super long crusader gun, imitating Longinus' crucifix, fingering the sky remotely, while the lion's vulture spread its front hoof and stood up.

“Gentlemen!” Dewey, try to use the loudest volume, the loudest voice, and yell!

“This victory will depend on your bravery!! I'm sure you will defend the Empire with courage!” Dewey's spear swept wildly, creating a fierce atmosphere, and he began to glow with a fierce fighting spirit.

His tone carries with it a venerable majesty: "As your commander, I have only one oath to make to you! There's only one promise for you! ”

Everyone listened quietly, at this moment, in a black-pressed array, the crows were silent and there was no noise at all.

“Me! Dewey Rollin Rudolph! Your commander! Above the battlefield, you will never abandon any of your comrades! Whether you're a general or a soldier! If I need to go, I'll go with you! If I need to retreat, I will walk at the end!! ”

The bright and powerful voice retreated, and Dewey, wearing the black brown iron armor of the Empire's senior general, coupled with all the fighting lights from his body, rode on the mighty vulture and held a sharp crossfire in his hand...

At this moment, Dewey truly went from being a nobleman to commander in the hearts of millions of generals!

————————————————————————————

The army pulled north.

Two wings, the two divisions have advanced, maintaining a distance of about an hour between the army and Midway.

Dewey himself, however, was not with two infantry divisions of the Chinese army. Both infantry division chiefs were promoted by Dewey, the injured general with the highest rank among the prisoners of war, and one leader among the prisoners of war, who was temporarily promoted to division chief by the line of fire. As for the rank, Dewey temporarily had no authority to promote him as a general and still commanded a division with the rank of chief.

Half of those prisoners were integrated into the two infantry divisions, bringing Dewey to an unprecedented level of mastery of the Chinese army, which, although not as old as it was for many years, was at least banned.

As for joining this Chinese army, there is a special unit, 250 small, that private army cavalry of the Dewey family that General Qaeda brought from the northwest, the Thunder Mountain!

When this Thunder Ride first arrived in Yajin City, it also caused tremendous shock to the guards in Yajin City!

Even these professional soldiers have never seen such an amazing giant horse!

Who doesn't like good horses when they're generals? Looking at so many horses, someone soon asked for Dewey Soze privately. Some of the generals are furious that you, Dewey's men, can ride such a good horse. I'm a general, and you want two. Can't you?

But all such requests were denied to Dewey.

Some generals, in their own capacity, try to force themselves privately to ask for or even rob the cavalry of the Thunder Cavalry.

In these people's view, as a general, I robbed a small soldier of your horse of war, and I don't think you dare to do anything about it. Even if it gets to the Duke of Tulip, it's just a horse thing, and you've got it. You're a duke, and you're embarrassed to come to my general's trouble for a small soldier.

Results…

Anyone with such an idea quickly dismissed it all.

The first to rob a horse was a cavalry leader of a division, who ran to the camp of the Thunder Rider, privately tried to pay for the horse, after cold rejection, wanted to rob it, but the Tulip family's cavalry seemed not to take this leader seriously, and as a result, no one knew what had happened to this leader.

All he knew was that his nose and swollen face had been thrown out of the camp of Thunder Mount.

Afterwards, his men tried to take people to the scene - private fights were not allowed in the army, but after all, the soldiers were bloodthirsty people, who had not fought privately? Besides, you fought our leader, we don't retaliate, can you come out later?

As a result, hundreds of people went to find the scene, and Ray rode only a hundred people out here. Before he rode the horse, he beat all these guys up and threw them out of the camp.

The bigger the matter, the later the division general to whom the leader belonged led himself, and Gaida appeared.

This young 250-year-old was indeed Lombardon's stewardess. In front of thousands of people, he took off his gloves and dumped them on the other general's face, coldly: “Duel! Live or die, dare you! ”

The general was immediately angry: “I am the general of the Empire, you are a private army, dare also..."

“General?” Gaida laughed and glanced at each other in disdain: “General? When I was rebelling in the Northwest Ping Dynasty, the Major General killed three and the Lieutenant General killed one! The leader is afraid of a dozen! One more you, one less you! ”

When this guy said that, his face was full of flesh, his face was a real killer, and at first glance it was the kind of real killer who didn't blink.

Surely, the general lived in the town.

That general won't fight this kind of stunning duel. Looking at each other, he is a lethal character. As a leader of a second-line unit, it took him years to achieve this qualification. If the battle dies on the battlefield, it's okay. If someone beats him to death in a private duel, then...

Gaida didn't care so much, a look like, "You nod your head, let's get the white knife in the red knife." As a result, the general lost a few harsh words, indicating that he was a large number of adults. No savages like you generally saw it and walked away in a gray way.

Later, Dewey himself gave an order that the thunder riders belong to the family's private army, even seeking the private property of the Tulip family if someone dares to strike the thunder rider's attention. Tulip's private army protects family property under imperial law - in other words, lets go and kill!

This barbaric act of short-sightedness finally prevented anyone from daring to fight the idea of a thunderous horseback ride.

A lot of people are wondering: where do you get all these horrible giant horses from in the northwest?

And these Thunder Rider soldiers, at a glance, are absolutely accustomed to the hundred-war elite, the Tulip Family, rolling out of the sea of the Knife Mountain Corpse. Although they went through some prairie wars and a rebellion to calm down the Northwest Legion, it is impossible to bring out so many hundred-war fighters. These cavalry soldiers seem to have fought not just once or twice, but as if they had fought for half their lives!

Such a bunch of Hummers, coupled with such a strange war horse... This thunder riding horse may seem eye-catching, but after learning about the consumption of such horses, many of the generals who wanted to privately buy from the Tulip family gave up their intentions: a regular thunder riding horse, twice as much grass as a normal superior war horse!

There is a rumor in the camp that such horses, in addition to grass, are meat-fed!!

At this moment, walking with such a cavalry, two infantry divisions of Lieutenant General, inevitably a little nervous. Even as Dewey's own brother, Gabriel never heard of this mysterious cavalry.

There is also a question in his heart: Brother, where exactly did he train such a strong army?

•

Yakin City is not far from the eastern fortress. The army marched one day and one night, and a team of outposts soon arrived in a small forest about thirty miles south of the fortress.

After the Chinese paused here, they fixed it up all night.

It seemed like a long night, the war was imminent, many soldiers had experienced the tragic defeat of the fortress, and this time came back here, heartfelt and remembered that horrible night, the enemy's flying dragons harvested the lives of human generals like a night of assassination... and those bows drilled horrible elf archers like venomous snakes...

“Pass it down, fix it up all night, see it ready to attack at dawn!” After pre-war negotiations among the generals, Gabriel took out a paper order left by Dewey:

“Tomorrow's first battle, if an enemy battle is fought outside the city, Thunder Ride first! ”

After reading the order, the people have no objection. After all, this mysterious cavalry looks very powerful. What is it? Tomorrow, above the battlefield, it will be possible to break the veil.

And the Duchess... where is he now?

————————————————————————————

Twenty miles outside the fortress, on a hillside, behind Dewey, is a long row of griffon knights in place.

The vulture crawled to the ground, resting under the care of the knight, and the leather holster in his mouth was sealed without a trace of movement.

“Tomorrow…” Dewey stood on the hillside, looking far below the outline of the fortress at night.

Hmm, snow falls, you fill the fortress with all kinds of hay wood and spark oil, you plan to burn the fortress as soon as I attack?

Well, you were going to give up this fortress, but... you left a chance!

His toes gently, on the ground sand, quickly drew a word.

Fire!
