Chapter 493: The Death of General Yubei(1/2)
"call--"
Lu Chen exhaled a sigh of relief, and Annalius shook off the blood on his fur.
The winter wind swept across the battlefield, and under the smoke, there were corpses everywhere.
He raised his head and looked at the general on the city wall. He was still below, and his aura was still reversed.
All the troops cheered, but Gil's face was expressionless. He could only maintain such calmness.
When Carlos City was about to run out of food, Duke Godzilla finally came to help, so after the victory, those soldiers were so excited.
Although the soldiers in Carlos City did not loudly praise Duke Godzilla's name due to his presence, the admiring eyes had exposed their hearts.
He lost. He was unable to break through the continuous attack of the abyss army from beginning to end. There were many reasons, but a loss was a loss.
He failed to fulfill King Kusla's expectations of him, nor did he fulfill his own goals.
The mighty army entered the city, and when he looked at the man riding on the Moon Wolf King, he knew that King Kusla's little plan was useless.
Lu Chen rode Anarius up to Gil with a cold look, "Gir Reinhardt, do you admit your guilt?"
This sudden question immediately dissipated the joy of the soldiers in the city after their victory, and the scene fell silent for a moment.
"Duke Godzilla, what do you mean?"
Jill frowned.
The black sword light cut through the air and paused on Jill's neck. Lu Chen said lightly: "The Great Wall has been lost, so it is appropriate to kill you."
Gil's heart skipped a beat. The speed at which the opponent struck out was not very fast in his opinion, but he knew that most of Duke Godzilla's personal strength was based on dragon blood. In terms of personal strength, he was no match for Duke Godzilla.
The other person's eyes were serious.
The soldiers of the Sword of Dawn were solemn and silent behind Lu Chen, while the Moon Wolves scraped their claws on the ground. At this distance, if a conflict broke out, he had no room to fight back. The area at the city gate was too small, and his
Reaper of Souls cannot be used at all.
He thought about various situations after joining forces with Duke Godzilla, but he did not expect that the other party would accuse him immediately. Looking at this posture, if he did not have a reasonable excuse, he might really take action in the next moment.
"The Duke also understands the art of war. He should be able to understand that I am doing this to preserve my vitality..."
Before Gil could finish his words, he was forced forward by the cold blade.
Lu Chen looked indifferent and said, "Your title is wrong. This is not the royal capital."
Jill was a little embarrassed and angry. Do you want me to surrender directly in front of everyone? Just because you have won some battles recently?
I am General Yubei, and you are General Zhengbei. We are on the same level!
"I can cooperate with your army..."
It is impossible for Gil to hand over the military power in his hands. This is the army of King Kusra, his army. He is from the Reinhardt family. He is the shield of the empire and the honor of thousands of years!
The next moment, under everyone's shocked gazes, Lu Chen's arm muscles suddenly swelled, a dark sharp blade passed through, and his head was thrown up in shock.
Lu Chen brandished his knife and his blood trembled, "The name is wrong."
The defenders in the city immediately broke out into riots, especially the Death Scythes who were preparing to charge out of the city on the long street. They were about to riot. The soldiers pulled out the weapons on their waists one after another, but they did not dare to take the lead in front of the indifferent man.
Charger.
Even Gu Lanting and the others who had just led them into the city were surprised when they saw this scene. They didn't expect that Duke Godzilla would dare to take action. They thought they were just asking for guilt and suppressing Gill, cutting flesh with blunt knives and slowly snatching military power from the opponent.
Unexpectedly, after just saying a few words, he immediately killed Gil, the general of the Imperial North.
Lu Chen glanced around, and finally his eyes rested on the Death Reaper Legion in front, "What? Do you want to charge against your own people?"
Every Death Scythe soldier caught sight of him fell silent, including many who were very loyal to Gill.
Lu Chen said loudly: "The loss of the Great Wall is a capital crime. Disobeying military orders is also a capital crime. The commanders of each army will go out and report the situation."
In a few words, he determined Jill's death. Once the other party died, he would be the only nominally supreme leader.
As for slowly dealing with the opponent and slowly plotting against the army?
It will be the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. Gil is not a fool. It is impossible for him to let go of his military power and live under others.
The opponent does have certain military capabilities, but a war is imminent, and it is taboo to have one army with two minds. Lu Chen will not make this mistake.
He didn't believe that if he killed Gill in front of him, the army would start a civil war.
His soldiers have been reorganized, and Gill's Death Reaper originally had many "own men". The other legions in the city also complained about Gill's failure to reverse the situation for more than a month.
In this case, if you kill, you will kill. Some soldiers may be dissatisfied, but they will deal with it later.
Because when there is the biggest enemy, human beings can always unite unexpectedly.
Gil is a smart man and a traditional nobleman. He thinks that he is very talented and will be of great use to mankind in counterattacking the abyss, so he thought that he would have a "literary fight" with him.
But let's go to a bloody literary fight. Lu Chen has never been good at this. I'll just chop you to death and nothing will happen.
The fact is just as Lu Chen thought, with his undefeated record of hundreds of games in the past month, he has once again proved that Duke Godzilla has returned to the myth.
Relying on his original prestige in the army, Gil died without causing much trouble.
As for what the royal capital would think after hearing the news, he couldn't control it.
The army poured into Carlos City, and Lu Chen began to reorganize all the troops.
During this period, Gill's adjutant was dissatisfied and was killed by Gu Lanting and others. He did not deprive the other legion commanders of their power, but allowed him to continue to lead his legion and stabilize the morale of the army.
At this point, the number of troops under his command that can be deployed has exceeded 900,000, and it is time to start preparing for the battle at the Great Wall.
After Lu Chen's people distributed food and grass to the army and people in Carlos City, the uneasiness in the army gradually disappeared, and the people also praised the name of the guardian of mankind.
The process of regaining the northern territory was smoother than Lu Chen imagined, so smooth that it made him a little uneasy.
Although those abyssal creatures stormed Carlos City, they only deployed troops in batches, with the number remaining between 1 million and 1.5 million.
This made Lu Chen feel something was wrong and a little stupid.
Obviously, the creatures of the abyss only need to send more troops to capture Kalos City at once, just like how they captured the Great Wall before.
But Abyss did not do this, and instead seemed to be wasting its troops in vain.
Ordinary abyss creatures are not like the abyss lords. They have that immortal skill and are dead when they die. Lu Chen didn't know how strong the "fertility" replenishment ability of the abyss was, but he felt that it was obviously wrong to fight like this.
The largest group of abyssal creatures is currently guarding the Great Wall. The number of abyssal creatures accumulated in several important levels exceeds 4 million, and the total number exceeds 20 million.
Lu Chen only had 900,000 troops at his disposal, which was a desperate lack of combat power.
Although if they attack a certain place alone, there will be much fewer abyssal creatures, but if 900,000 fight against 4 million, they will still be the one attacking the city. No matter how you look at it, they will be at a huge disadvantage.
This was his biggest objection to Gil. This guy's retreat was too hasty. The Great Wall was lost and it would not be that easy to get it back.
When the abyssal creatures fully attacked the Great Wall, it was estimated that there were 30 million troops, and the battle losses were of course very high. Excluding those who poured into the north, the Great Wall should not have so many abyss defenders now. It can only be judged that the abyss is constantly increasing towards the Great Wall.
Soldiers.
Looking back now, in fact, the combat power of one to ten is worse. Human beings have strong combat power in military formation, and they are still defending the city. Although the pressure of that war was high, it was not impossible to fight.
It was just the violator's tricks that shook the morale of the army. Many soldiers did not know the characteristics of the undead, and they had a sense of luck about their former robes, which led to heavy casualties.
In Duke Godzilla's memory, when the Great Wall was in emergency more than 30 years ago, Abyss's offensive was similar to this time. However, Duke Godzilla came to the Great Wall, commanded the three armies to resist, and still repelled Abyss.
Although there were violators involved this time, it still shows one thing, that is, Duke Godzilla is more capable of commanding troops than Gil, and another point is...the combat effectiveness of the Great Wall defenders has declined.
There are many reasons for the decline in the army's combat effectiveness. One is that there have been few invasions in the Abyss in the past twenty years, and they have fought fewer battles, so they will naturally become unfamiliar.
The second is that the original grassroots soldiers were disrupted and reorganized. They did not experience many battles and their shortcomings were exposed under high-pressure battles.
This is a very important point. The army is like a house built with cornerstones. Those soldiers at the grassroots level are familiar with their partners. They can safely leave their backs to each other when fighting. They have a tacit understanding that outsiders cannot imagine.
This tacit understanding is the guarantee of their survival rate.
After being disrupted and reorganized, they naturally needed to be retrained, but Abyss did not give them this opportunity.
The third problem is management. Gil has always had a certain aristocratic mentality, is not strong enough, and is not ruthless enough in regulating the army. There are actually soldiers robbing civilians because of food and grass problems. This was impossible in the era of Duke Godzilla.
This kind of thing happens.
It's not a matter of famine or the quality of soldiers, but that without detailed goals and military orders, the soldiers couldn't leave the Great Wall at all and plundered civilians. This was obviously the result of loose management.
When Lu Chen reorganized the army, he gave priority to getting those former combat partners back together, with veterans leading new recruits to barely maintain the reorganized combat effectiveness.
The reason why it is reluctant is because even so, the army has not experienced combat training, and its combat effectiveness is still questionable.
He does not have the outstanding commanding talents of the original Duke Godzilla. In the final analysis, he was just a commander of a small local battlefield, taking the lead in the charge.
The recent consecutive battles and victories were not due to his superb military skills, but simply because of his own strength and the strength of the Moon Wolf Clan.
The day after entering Carlos City, Abyss once again sent troops to attack. This time, Lu Chen did not choose to defend the city, nor did he die. Instead, he commanded the three armies to carry out this million-level battle.
The power of the human military formation should not be underestimated. When the numbers of both sides were basically equal, and on the plains, they basically destroyed all the abyssal creatures. After one battle, our own army suffered more than 30,000 casualties and annihilated millions of abyssal creatures.
The army.
It can be regarded as a great victory, but losses are the only way to adapt. The new army that is pieced together from the remnant army needs this process.
Lu Chen stood at the top of the city. He still understood why Ci did not command troops. If they wanted to retake the abyss, they could not rely on themselves and the Moon Wolf Clan alone.
And today's attack by the abyssal creatures made him frown even more.
What do these abyssal creatures want to do?
To be continued...
