Another artillery fire broke out, and every minute a cannonball buzzed into the city of the royal capital.

The soldiers were used to not looking up anymore. They knew that this thing could not be avoided and there was no covering around them, so it would be better to wait and let it go.

On this day, the city gates were wide open, and a long wave of defeated soldiers entered the city.

In order to protect the safe entry of this army that had experienced great defeat, the Guards had already arranged blocking positions in advance, and the artillery fire there was far more terrifying than the city.

The brigade commander of the Guards stood on the city tower and looked at the long line of defeated soldiers, with a disintegrating look.

The defeated soldiers will stay in the capital for a few days, and then resume the battle after a short rest. In addition, the recruitment in the rear is in full swing.

In order to make the conscription smooth, the army not only provides food, but also issues a bond. In the future, such bonds can be exchanged for coins or materials of corresponding value.

Some people say that this is a blank check, while others join the army to make a living.

The brigade commander looked at the soldiers who had lost their weapons and pondered that the weapons and equipment could not be changed now, and two or three people had used a gun, and there was a serious shortage of ammunition reserves.

I heard that a new arsenal is being built in the rear, and many of the factory equipment were also checked back in unoccupied areas.

The supply station has also been opened. The only thing waiting for the Guards is to defend and defense. When the army with severe energy is seriously injured, it will plan to counterattack.

That is to say, I don’t know when this battle will last, nor do I know if the king can hold on until that time.

Not to mention the distance, my cousin's loud heavy artillery regiment was left with only twelve artillery pieces that could still operate.

These artillery were arranged in the square of the royal capital, on the stone ground by the lake.

My cousin's face was bruised when he used to be smooth. It was left after a barrel exploded. He walked behind the brigade commander and saluted: "Brig Commander, please look for me."

The brigade commander put down his telescope and said to the outside of the city: "The position has been transferred frequently recently. The superiors are preparing to be promoted to the commander of the Guards. The appointment letter has been released."

"Congratulations."

"What's the point of congratulations? I guess I'm the last one to know about this. Recently, the people who have been promoted are old men under Deputy Commander Yanglong. The old lady's confidants have been replaced in a large number of times. His Majesty the Emperor treats this time.

Failure is a big furious. Of course, this kind of furiousness is also light. Such a huge failure is logically hanged."

My cousin was a little puzzled. The army had been mobilized more frequently recently. Logically, his brigade commander was from Luo Mi Taigong, and he couldn't figure it out that it would not decline but rise.

He boldly expressed his question: "Are you following Your Excellency Yanglong?"

"In the future, keep your mouth in mind, don't say anything, just use your brain." The brigade commander looked at his cousin and said, "The question of who is which faction like this cannot be raised openly.

There is trouble. Also, you should know which person I am. The reason why I can be promoted is that Lord Yanglong needs me to guard the royal capital."

"Then what are you calling me today?"

"Then the inspector general and you are relatives, right? He privately transferred a small team out of the city to help me figure out what he wanted to do. I don't believe it is really a rescue of the prisoners of war. The guards cannot provoke them, so I value it.

You, only you can do this."

The last sentence, my eldest cousin felt happy when he heard it, and he was about to float to the sky.

Although it is extremely useful, my eldest cousin still rarely touched his mind: "Aren't you afraid that I will collude with him to lie to you? We are relatives."

The brigade commander sighed first, then patted his cousin's shoulder and said earnestly: "I understand you. You are a real soldier. Soldiers take obeying orders as their duty."

My eldest cousin felt so beautiful that he wanted to cut his chest open on the spot to show the loyal heart to the brigade commander.

He saluted resolutely: "Please ensure that the task is completed!"

He ran down the city wall happily, and the brigade commander smiled happily and turned to calm. He continued to look at the endless line of defeated troops. It would be best if this army could increase its speed. It would not be a good thing to delay it for a long time.

A shell exploded not far from the city gate. Several soldiers on the city wall hurriedly blocked their ears, but the brigade commander was indifferent.

Also indifferent to artillery fire was Mr. Romi. The old man sat on a chair and listened to the arrogant young man in front of him in confusion.

He looked like an ordinary old man who was about to die, and he pulled out a long tone with his heavy voice with his ears.

"ah?"

The young man who read the imperial order looked at the old man in anger and also increased his tone: "Because of the hard work and great contributions of Mr. Luo Mi, I will not hold him accountable! However, defeat is a fact! If you don't take over the responsibility, you will be unable to convince the public! Special

…”

"Ah? Young man! You can't hear it clearly! What did Your Majesty say?"

Those who didn't know about it thought that the old and the young were quarreling at the top of their voices.

This time, the young man no longer left any respect to the old man, and read the remaining imperial order in one breath: "I specially ordered you to hand over your military position! Go back to the rear to rest with peace of mind! The military matters will be taken over by Yang Longyi and the marquis! I am

You have prepared a land house for a hundred years! If you don’t dislike it, please move in as soon as possible!”

The adjutant behind the old lady looked embarrassed. He chose the land for the old lady to live a long life, and also provided a tomb that had been buried for a hundred years.

This adjutant has been following Mr. Romi for several years, and finally waited for his future to be dark. As the secretary of the former commander-in-chief, it is difficult for him to have a single official position in the new commander.

He was already thinking about changing careers to be the butler for the old lady, or trying another shot, and showing his loyalty to the marquis when he was waiting for the marquis.

Unexpectedly, the old lady pulled the long tune and said "ah" again.

The young man was very angry, so he simply put the imperial order on the old man's legs.

"You! Look! Let's do it!"

"Dad? You recognized the wrong person and the young man! I am not your dad! I can be your grandfather at my age!"

"Deaf!"

If it were the usual, who would dare to blatantly call Luo Mi Taigong a deaf?

The adjutant pretended not to hear it and sent the young man away.

When the adjutant came back, he was surprised at the peace of the old lady. After taking a step, he heard the old lady speak in a normal voice.

"Don't worry, I will recommend you to Yanglong. You can also have a position in the army. Do you really think that I am blind by the small actions made by these little people in private? I can't protect too many people, but I guarantee that the small things that are small.

It's okay if you're down."

A few words to the adjutant were blushing, and he hurriedly expressed his loyalty, but how many days and months have Luo Mi lived? What kind of person has never seen before? He could recognize a person's loyalty and treacherous look with just one look.

It is not ordinary ability to survive the struggles of the palace and serve as military chief.

The old lady seemed to be talking to the adjutant, and also to herself.

"Yanglong is also a smart person. He will not do things too well, but will still give me some face. I am also old and have made serious mistakes. I am sorry to those young men who sacrificed for the country.

More than 100,000 people are more than 200,000 families, and they are broken. Young man, your road is still long and you may be excluded. But it doesn’t matter, who can guarantee that there will be no changes in the future? Just stick to it."

"Old lady..."

The adjutant's eyes were red, and no matter who saw an old man showing such fatigue, he felt uncomfortable.

The old lady continued, "I originally wanted to stay in the city, but after thinking about it, I'd better forget it and not cause any trouble for Your Excellency Yanglong. I'm leaving, is the carriage ready?"

"Report to the commander-in-chief, ready."

"Okay, help me up, I'll ."

The adjutant hurriedly helped Luo Mitaigong, and the two walked out of the house. Outside the house, more than twenty officers were there.

The old lady looked at the officers and murmured: "There are too many people, there are too many people."

He helped Mr. Romi to the carriage, and the adjutant told the coachman: "The road is slower, and the old man is afraid of bumps."

"Yes, yes." Luo Mi Taigong echoed, "make the road behind me more comfortable."

Say goodbye to the officers one by one. These are his old subordinates who have been for many years. The brigade commander of the Guards is not here.

Finally, Mr. Romi held the adjutant's hand and smiled affectionately: "Old man, I'll go, let's go."

"Great send."

The carriage set off slowly, and Romita waved goodbye, and the officers watched him .

The adjutant who waited for the car to disappear at a corner and was about to return to the house suddenly remembered the last words of the old lady in the carriage. He looked around the corner in horror and retreated repeatedly.
