Episode 29: Decreasing the Army
Only then did Haiwen remember that they were also standing up and standing together. "Oh. It turned out to be you. I don't like so much nonsense. Let's go to the military camp now."
"Please get on the carriage." Another handsome man, who was wearing only light mail, asked Haiwen to come to the carriage at the door.
The carriage window was obviously Seidel's head, looking at him. Hawen whistled into the room, and the twenty thieves rushed out from all over the place with their faces covered. Tauni's gray hair looked very easy to recognize.
Hawen said to these four generals who looked alert: "They are my subordinates and only obey my orders. They will be responsible for reconnaissance and secret whistle. Because if the information in the war is wrong, it will be the most deadly."
These four generals admired Haiwen's opinion very much. They did not expect that this boy who was carrying the name of a demon had such meticulous thoughts, and this battle was obviously a big start. Their morale also increased.
The big man of Hu stubble first introduced himself. "Sir, I am the former general 'Pulhan'. If you need me to fight the bloody path on the battlefield, you only need one sentence. The same is true for anyone to beat him."
The handsome man stretched out his hand and licked his long hair and said, "Sir, I am General Zuo 'Luo Qing'. Your battles on my side do not require your worries. Unless I die, no one can approach you from the left wing."
Another man with medium figure but explosive muscles all over his body lowered his head and said, "Sir, I am the right general 'Slick'. I am like your right hook, ready to knock out every tooth of the enemy at any time and be free to collect."
The last fat man who looked obviously fat and fat, said with a silly smile: "Sir, I am your senior general 'Furlu'. But I think you can't use me at all, because we will move forward bravely. All I need is to clean up the garbage that has been stepped on under your feet and is still breathing in."
Haiwen has a very good memory. After listening to it, I remember who these people are and what they are responsible for. "Very good. With the leaders of you four generals, our army will be invincible. Go to the military camp first, and I want to see how my soldiers are."
Havan finally got on the carriage. Sarah also sat in it, and she immediately grabbed Havan's hand. "Havan, listen to me. War is not a game. When we kill the enemy, we will be killed by the enemy. I just want to live happily with you, not to participate. But I have to be by your side, I am your eternal wife Sarah."
"What's wrong with you? Are you afraid that I will lose? As long as I can collect all the information, there will be no possibility of failure." Haiwen was full of confidence. From empty hands, he finally reached the point where he led the army today. The goal of revenge is getting closer and closer to him, and he cannot give up.
Seidel also said, "Don't worry. I'm there. Which important person you want to kill is just a matter of one sentence."
Haven finally thought Seidel was cute. "It's really good. You have supported me, and you've become more and more enlightened recently."
Seidel's attitude remains the same. "I'm afraid that after you lose, the enemy will hurt Sister Sarah. Do you think I will help you? I'm stupid."
Haiwen was not angry at all and smiled at her. "I mean, you are much smarter than the first few days. Did you eat any brain-friendly food in the palace?"
The carriage shaking violently twice. Luo Qing, who was riding a horse, knocked on the door, the curtain was opened, and Seidel's little face was revealed. "What are you doing?"
"Why did the carriage shaking just now? Are you okay inside?" Luo Qing asked with concern.
Seidel's face had no expression at all. "If you don't have your business, you should care less. You can live longer." She pulled the curtain again. Luo Qing swallowed and dared not ask about Miss Seidel about anything from now on.
Hayn in the carriage was covering her stomach, and it was obvious that Seidel had been violent just now. Sarah could only persuade Seidel to always beat Hayn, and there was no way to deal with her. But from a good point, Hayn's ability to fight against the attack continued to grow in the ravages.
The carriage finally arrived at this temporary joint military camp. Half of them were troops guarding the royal city, otherwise they would not have mobilized troops from all over the country so quickly. This expedition was indeed quite hasty, with a total of less than 30,000 troops, and only more than 20,000 people could actually participate in the battle.
After getting off the carriage, Havan took Sarah's hand to start the military parade, and Seidel did not get off the carriage at all. This was indeed rare for the coach who took his wife to fight. He walked around and looked at the soldiers who were about to rush on the line of life and death at close range, and felt that they were all a little afraid of death or lack of confidence. Finally, he returned to the parade platform and began to incite these so-called main forces.
"Soldiers! Although I am just an inexperienced boy in your eyes, I want to tell you that the sight you see can only blind you on the battlefield! All you need is to recognize whether the people around you are comrades or enemies! If you are comrades, you have to help each other, because the chance of survival of two people standing together is higher! If it is an enemy, you will immediately chop him, because he is alive, it is a threat to you! Your family is waiting for you to triumph, not to wait for you to mourn you! Seeing me bringing my wife with me? Why! Because I have no intention of letting someone to mourn me, she will walk with me on the road to victory! I must also take her on that road to happiness! Cheer, my soldiers! If you want to come back alive, you will burst out the limit of your life!! I need your strength to go to that road!!"
The entire royal city could be heard. In the palace, Porter was reviewing the memorial in the study and immediately raised his head. "This is the first time I heard such a loud voice. Hawen, you are indeed a demon who is good at bewitching people's hearts. I just don't know what it is to use military force."
Mixed with this bloody aura, the army immediately set off. The commander Haiwen did not have any so-called routine or common sense at all, and everything was done casually. He believed that this aura that had just been inspired was enough to make the soldiers lively before they arrived on the battlefield, otherwise they would wear out all their sharpness through the forest.
All the way to Shanghai Wen, they rode horses through the forest, while the soldiers were walking on the ground. Hai Wen knew the feeling of walking on the ground, because they were here at the beginning. So he always let the army walk and stop, which was slightly different from ordinary marches.
Tauni's thieves had long been dispersed into the army. Although there were only only twenty people, they had almost all the information in the army. After so many days of getting along, Haiwen had already trusted them very much.
A few days after the thieves entered the army, they discovered many hidden dangers and problems. After Tauni integrated the information, he brought it to Hawen while the army was resting. "Brother, our people found that some of them were preparing to be deserters and mobilizing others. This is a very bad phenomenon. Also, there were problems with the reserve food and grass escorted by the later general. It seemed that someone had tampered with it, and there were obviously many missing."
When Haiwen heard this, he immediately called Hou General Fulu. After hearing this report, the fat man quickly said, "I'm sorry, sir. These food and grass were all delivered early. When we checked it, we had already lost so much. I think we had no plans to give it to us when supplying food and grass."
"This should be military rations, the state is responsible for it. Who manages the supply of food and grass?" Haiwen was not very clear about these things, but he also knew that the army's food and grass should not move around casually.
"Grand Prime Minister, Glofeng. It's the bad old man you have scolded." Froud immediately cursed.
Haiwen was much calmer. "It's him again. This guy really has a problem. OK, you go down first. Don't make any noise about military rations, just pretend that they have never been in short supply."
Then Hawen asked Tauni to call all the guys who wanted to be deserters closer. The soldiers were all silly.
"Don't be afraid, I want to give you a difficult task. As long as you complete it, you can not only go home, but also become heroes." Hawen told them not to be so afraid of themselves.
The more than ten guys also knew there was no choice. Hawen told them the task in detail, which made them believe that they were indeed going to become heroes. "Believe me. I know you want to go home, and this task is just right for you, and it is very important. You guys need to each take a secret letter and send it back to the royal city. And it is handed directly to the king. The letter is very clear. If one of you has not handed it over, that secret letter will be meaningless. Do you understand? This is a major issue that concerns the safety of the Colro tribe, and everything depends on you! You must go separately. I believe someone will chase you, be careful on the way."
These more than a dozen people didn't expect to have the opportunity to become heroes from deserters, and each took a path and ran towards the royal city.
Tauni walked out of the darkness and whispered behind Havan: "Some people are moving. They are chasing those people, but there seems to be insufficient hands."
"This is the tip of a big snake's tail. Let me tell Seidel and ask her to help catch someone who is living. Haha. Kill the rest!" Haiwen was indeed cunning and ruthless. What he was best at was calculating others, and doing these things was just pediatrics.
Tauni, a professional thief, is indeed not a cover, and immediately hides into the shadows around him. This skill can make it difficult for people to see, but it cannot be compared with Seidel's Shadow Powder. That one is simply invisible, and no matter how good the observation is, it is useless.
Soon Sarah came to Havan because Seidel suddenly ran out. "Havan, did you ask Seidel to do something? Don't let her kill anyone anymore, that kind of behavior will make her look less and less like a girl."
"I got it. I just asked her to help me catch a bad guy." Hawen said so. But even if Seidel was asked to kill someone, he would still have a say.
Soon Seidel came back first, and grabbed a person who fainted. The man was obviously wearing their ordinary soldier's costume and was a traitor hidden in the army. Haven said to Seidel: "Wake him up. I don't want to talk to a person who fainted."
"Yes! Sir!" The four generals found that the coach never hesitated, as if he had already become a full-length.
After another half a day, ten thousand elite troops were separated. The remaining people were either the best of arrow shooting or the masters of mechanical skills. Even the soldiers of the Fire Head Army could still go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
After receiving their notice, Hawen got on the horse. "Very good. In this way, we will also increase our speed of progress. Let's set off!"
Within a week after the 30,000 army of people set off, there were only 10,000 left. The commander Haiwen was really brave enough to do it. The soldiers who walked back thought it was a little wrong. Why did they even think that there were too many people in war? Besides, there were not many of these 30,000 people.
Hawen, who was riding on the horse, had already figured out the deployment and basic combat methods of the Thunder League, otherwise he would not have reduced his troops rashly because he planned to fight guerrilla warfare rather than positional warfare within the Thunder League. He believed that since the Thunder League was called the alliance, it meant that they were just a joint scattered sand. As long as they attacked the key parts, they would collapse on their own.
Sara, who was also riding on the horse, approached him. "Haven, can we still win with so many fewer people?"
"Haha. If you didn't ask, I must say that that person is here to disrupt the morale of the army. Don't worry, I have more confidence if there are fewer people. Because we will attack the enemy more concealedly and let them catch our shadows." Hawen gestated as he said.
Seidel's figure suddenly appeared on Sarah's horse's back and sat behind Sarah. "You are going to secretly learn the essence of my shadow technique, right?"
"Yes. Seidel understands what I think. Sarah, haven't you noticed that Seidel has become smarter recently?" Hawen started to fool Seidel while he was idle again. He felt that he was itchy again.
Seidel ignored him this time, leaned on Sarah's back and closed his eyes.
Haven felt a little strange. "Sedal, you didn't sleep in front of someone. Have you forgotten?"
"I know. I'm really talking, but it's still a man. I hate it." Seidel's words already showed that he had begun to understand the difference between men and women and had not experienced these events in vain.
