Chapter 1036: Decline God Summons Dafa (six thousand words, ask for a monthly ticket)
"Is it a hundred?" Petrius whispered to himself.
He stopped and thought deeply. The expression on his face was uncertain and changing constantly. It was obvious that he was hesitating in his heart.
Adjutant Narsus looked at his boss nervously. Narsus had followed Petrius for more than ten years, and he knew his boss very well.
Although he was an important general in the army, he was prolific in killing people and made great military exploits, but he also attached great importance to friendship. When it came to some old people and old friends, Petrius was always hesitant.
At this time, a gray-haired veteran in casual clothes ran in at a speed that was not commensurate with his age. He shouted loudly before entering the door: "Good news, good news, sir, General Hadou is awake."
Yes, did you hear it? General Hadou is awake~!
Now our grievances can finally be clarified.
Ha, I just said that little brat Angel is definitely not good."
Petrius's heart sank, and then he said with a straight face and an expressionless face: "Really? General Preacher."
"Of course," veteran Preacher shook the letter in his hand excitedly and said happily: "This is your lord's autograph, and it must be unmistakable. Your lord also said in the letter that the previous incident was a misunderstanding, Anhe
I have formally apologized to you, Your Excellency, and Lord Hadou has also punished Angel. Not only did he scold him bloody, but he also slapped him so hard that he almost beat him to death. And he also
Lock him up."
Petrius just said a faint "hmm" and seemed to be uninterested and in no mood to talk.
But I sneered secretly in my heart. I almost didn’t beat him to death. That means, I didn’t beat him to death~!
That little brat almost killed me in order to seize power~!
The result was that he was scolded and beaten, and then the little bastard was sent home to reflect. It was really a "severe" punishment.
Seeing Petrius's stiff and dissatisfied attitude, General Pritcher folded up the letter, walked over and patiently persuaded him, saying: "Sir, Mr. Hardu asked us all to go back to Haligad for a meeting. I think Mr. Hadu must be sure.
I will take this opportunity to clarify the misunderstanding with you in person."
Petrius shook his head and said coldly: "The enemy's forward has arrived at the city. As the commander-in-chief of guarding Kirkfors, my mission is here, not in Halligad. How can I leave Zinderen Fortress at this time?"
Any instructions can be sent via express mail."
Pritcher said anxiously: "But this is Master Hardou's personal summons, wouldn't it be a good idea not to go?"
"It's not that he can't go, I'm afraid he doesn't dare to go." A voice next to him said in a sinister tone.
Petrius turned around suddenly and looked at the speaker coldly, staring at him with an angry look on his face.
The speaker was standing at the door of the hall. Behind him, a dense group of fortress officers gathered outside the hall.
The man also stared. He looked at Petrius without fear. The two people's eyes collided, as if they could spark.
It takes courage to persevere under Petrius's cannibalistic eyes.
Seeing this guy's eyes not evading and looking at him without any hesitation, Petrius felt strange in his heart. He thought to himself: When did this sycophant become cowardly?
Petrius put one hand on his waist and slowly grasped the hilt of the sword with the other hand, the murderous aura in his eyes getting stronger and stronger.
Narsus looked at his boss and General Monk, who had just entered, and took a step back. He quietly gestured to the guards behind him.
"Munch, what do you mean?" Pritcher saw something was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward, squinting at him dissatisfied. It was a good thing, why did this guy come to disturb the situation~!
General Monk narrowed his slender eyes, staring at Petrius like a poisonous snake, and said forcefully: "This is Lord Hardu's military order, Petrius, no matter what you think, you must execute it~!"
Petrius snorted disdainfully and sneered: "Hadu just got up and doesn't understand the situation on the front line. I can't leave now. You can just go and explain to him."
Munch held the order in his hand and raised it high above his head. He shouted at Petrius: "Master Hardu ordered that you, Petrius, must go to Haligad to attend the meeting."
Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two of them, Pritcher was a little dumbfounded. He waved his hands anxiously and said, "If you have anything to say, please talk to me. Don't be impatient, everyone."
Petrius smiled slightly, stared at Munch coldly, and said solemnly: "What if I say no?"
"Huh huh..." General Monk sneered, slowly aligned the orders in his hands, folded them up neatly, and said: "Lord Hadou had expected that you would be like this."
Then he took out a piece of paper from the inner pocket of his clothes, waved it proudly in front of Petrius, unfolded it and read in the loudest voice: "Today, Commander-in-Chief of Kirkforth, Quindus Petrius, openly
For disobeying military orders, if Quindus Petrius is relieved of all his duties, he will be escorted to Haligad for interrogation, Amor, Hadoushu."
After Munch finished reading, everyone inside and outside the hall was stunned, with expressions of disbelief on their faces, looking back and forth between Petrius and Munch.
It’s so cool to actually do something like this~!
Petrius listened to Munch's announcement of the order with a calm expression. He was silent for a long time, then with a lonely expression on his face, he lowered his head and let out a long sigh of relief.
Petrius suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly and murmured to himself: "Hadu, Hadu, old friend, decades of life-and-death friendship, you just ignore them all, whatever, whatever..."
Monk slapped Hardu's order on the table hard and laughed proudly: "Petrius, your days are over, just be honest and catch him without a fight."
He has been suppressed by Petrius all this time, and now he can finally feel proud.
Petrius glanced at Monk contemptuously and said with a smile: "Just you, a flatterer?"
Munch's face instantly turned red, he pointed angrily at Petrius, and shouted: "Brothers, come on, take him down for me."
While everyone was still in a daze, a group of soldiers behind Monk drew their weapons and rushed forward.
Petrius stared at the soldiers rushing up with a cold expression, and the two doors behind him suddenly opened. A large group of soldiers rushed up, some of them blocked in front of Petrius. Others quickly surrounded the entire hall.
.
The crossbow and spear in his hand were immediately aimed at the people in the hall.
Seeing that Petrius's men were outnumbered, all the soldiers who rushed in stopped and surrounded Monk.
Pritcher stood alone in the middle, jumping up and down anxiously. "What are you doing? We have something to talk about."
Petrius shouted violently: "What else is there to say? My son wants to kill me, and now his father wants to kill me too. Who do I think I am, Petrius?"
Seeing the cold swords around him aimed at him, Munch was secretly anxious and said: "Master Hadu asked you to go because he wants to resolve this misunderstanding, not to deepen it..."
Petrius laughed loudly and said: "Do you think I'm a fool? I'm right here. If you want to take me, let Hadou come in person."
"You don't need General. We can do it." Hadou's guard captain shouted outside the hall: "Under the order of General Hadou, capture Petrius, enter~!"
The personal guards led hundreds of soldiers behind them and rushed into the hall with a shout.
Petrius's men immediately rushed forward, and the two sides fought desperately in a small space.
Monk took the opportunity to fight and retreated, crawling out of the hall. Looking around at the bewildered officers who came after hearing the news, he pointed at them and shouted loudly: "Call your soldiers.
Capture the traitor Petrius for me."
The officers looked at Monk in shock. Petrius's reputation was deeply rooted in their hearts, and these people could not even think of opposing Petrius.
Monk stared at them and said fiercely: "This is an order from General Hadou himself. Anyone who disobeys the order will be regarded as treason."
This big hat was turned off. The officers began to hesitate.
Monk simply pulled out a long sword, pointed it at the surrounding officers, and yelled: "You all take action, or I will kill you now."
Suddenly an officer drew his weapon, pointed at Monk and cursed: "You son of a bitch. How dare you dictate on our land in Kirkforth. What about Hadou? My boss is a general. Call someone and chop him down."
Got these bastards."
Opposite him, someone stood up and shouted: "This is General Hadou's order, what? Do you want to rebel?"
"If you rebel against this kind of government, I will kill you~!"
"..."
Several officers with different positions clashed at the entrance of the hall, waving weapons.
Their respective soldiers rushed over after hearing the news, and soldiers from the two opposing parties surrounded the hall.
One party wanted to rush into the hall to reinforce Petrius, but the other party immediately rushed forward to stop them.
The Southern troops, who were originally compatriots, started fighting around the entrance of the hall.
However, unlike those officers, they all fought lazily and couldn't raise their spirits at all. Most of the time they were just pretending.
After all, the person opposite is his colleague, or even a neighbor who lives on the same street. Once he kills someone, how will he face his parents, wife and children in the future?
But despite this, the sword he held in his hand was a bright and sharp sword. When he was swinging it, one of them would inevitably bump into it.
As time goes on, some people will eventually lose their patience and start fighting. The result will be a river of blood flowing out of control.
More soldiers nearby were silently watching the fighting inside and outside the hall. They didn't know which side to help. They didn't know what to do. They could only watch the situation worsen step by step.
Suddenly, a thunderous shout came from the hall: "Stop the hell~!"
The soldiers in the battle were stunned by the sound. It was the Petrius-style shout that they were familiar with. When Petrius was on the front line, he used roars and shouts to boost morale.
The soldiers slowly stopped and cautiously retreated to both sides.
Petrius looked at the bodies of the Confederate soldiers lying on the ground with regret and said, "I have something to say."
Then he just walked out. Forced by the soldiers' spears, Hadou's personal guards retreated step by step and were forced out of the hall.
Petrius finally stood at the door of the hall, looked at the dense crowd of Southern soldiers in front of him, sighed longly, and said: "They are all native southerners and brothers of my Petrius, why do they need to kill each other?
"
Thousands of Confederate soldiers looked at their commander with solemn expressions.
"That's all." Petrius said with half interest: "Since Hadou can't tolerate me, then I'll leave. You are all followers who have followed me through life and death. I can't watch you not fighting the enemy, but killing your own people.
.I, Petrius, will not put my brothers in trouble, I will leave.
Anyone who wants to follow me, I, Petrius, welcomes you. If I, Petrius, have a mouthful of food, my brothers will be indispensable. If you don’t want to follow me, then just stay here."
Hearing that Petrius was leaving, the officers around him all breathed a sigh of relief. For their officers, in this situation, neither disobeying Hardou's orders nor drawing swords on their comrades, perhaps leaving is the most correct thing.
choice.
Otherwise, Kirkforth's Confederate Army would have to kill half of its own men.
Munch screamed loudly from behind the crowd: "You can't let him go. Come on, come on!"
The surrounding officers suddenly became angry. Holding bright swords, they turned back and looked at Monk with evil eyes, ready to make a move.
Everyone has long disliked that guy who only flatters everyone. Especially now, when he is here to encourage everyone to kill each other.
You know, among the two armies, there is a brother who is a compatriot!
Hadu's personal guards saw that something was wrong and immediately protected Munch in the middle.
Munch shouted angrily: "This is disobedience and rebellion. I will report it to Lord Hardu. I..."
Looking at the Confederate soldiers slowly approaching with weapons, Hadou's guard captain pulled Monk and shook his head to tell him to shut up.
If Monk kept shouting, they would probably be killed by the angry Confederate soldiers.
The emotions of these officers and soldiers are extremely unstable now. Once they are suppressed forcefully, it will inevitably lead to an even stronger backlash.
The guard captain hesitated for a moment. Then he took a step forward and said in a deep voice to Petrius: "Please help yourself, my lord."
Petrius smiled bitterly, raised his head and looked carefully at the familiar soldiers and passes in front of him, as if he wanted to imprint all of this in his mind, and then waved his hand and said decisively: "Let's go~!"
The gate of the fortress opened slowly. Under the silent gaze of the Confederate officers, Petrius, the Confederate officers and soldiers who followed him, and their families walked out of the gate of the Zinderen Pass fortress and headed north.
xxxxxxx
Lorraine opened the curtain of the big tent and looked melancholy at the majestic fortress in the distance.
The fortress looked particularly clear after the rain. Even the mountains and forests nearby were lush and green. The air was also filled with the unique green fragrance of wild grass.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Life is really... life is so damn~!
Originally, after receiving Petrius's letter, all the senior leaders of Laohe's army were very excited.
General Hadou is seriously ill and bedridden, and is about to lose his hair. However, his son is far from enough in terms of ability and prestige, and cannot suppress the South at all.
Once the second-in-command in the Southern Army defectes to the enemy, the dangerous Zintulun Fortress in the south, which is said to be one man in charge and cannot be opened by ten thousand men, will already be under control.
It can be said that this battle is half won.
Lord Luo was so happy at the time that he almost shouted Marshal Mai's most famous slogan "Let the children go home for Christmas".
Of course, when the children return home, they no longer need to spend such a large military expenditure, and they can also relax the prince's wallet.
Originally, this was a win-win situation where everyone was happy. But...but that old bastard Hadu was so stubborn that he actually believed Brother Chun.
Damn it, he actually came back to life in full condition at the most critical moment.
Then a message was sent, which stabilized the originally chaotic situation in the south. The dignified Petrius, the second most important general in the south, had to abandon the city and flee in embarrassment.
It only took a few days to pacify the south, as easy as looking at the lines on the palm of your hand.
Sir Alex Ferguson has to admire him: Hadou is indeed a famous general of the generation~!
At this time, Lord Luo also suddenly discovered that the sentence "Send the children home for Christmas" was simply a call from the evil spirits**.
The idiot commander shouted those words back then, and then his misfortune began.
And Sir Alex was not far behind. First, due to heavy rain for days, the water in the Zamibia River surged.
Although preparations were made in advance and no one was injured, the flood destroyed half of the boats on the river.
The flood also cut Laohe's troops into two sections, front and rear. Food and grass supplies from the rear could not be transported at all.
Lord Luo is not the famous evil general in the Battle of Imphal. He clearly knows that 'before the troops and horses are moved, food and grass go first'. This is an iron law of war that must not be violated.
Therefore, the hundreds of thousands of vanguard troops who were crossing the river lay there for several days. Seeing that the food carried by the army was almost exhausted, and food rationing was about to be implemented, the river water calmed down.
The conscience of heaven and earth. As a modern army that Lord Luo created and was quite proud of, he actually wants to implement food rationing in the army. This makes Lord Luo really lose face, and he is very proud of it.
It's a big shame.
At that time, he thought very seriously about the feasibility of implementing a literary inquisition. Even if he had to risk his life, he would never allow the record of this incident to be passed down.
This would not only bring shame to him, but also bring shame to all the time-travelers.
Later, food and military supplies were delivered, and the troops gradually regained their mobility.
But as soon as we set off, it started raining again.
Although we were more fully prepared this time and mobilized a lot of large ships to ensure transportation on the Zamibia River, the damn roads in the south were extremely muddy.
Coupled with the stampede of tens of thousands of troops, the road was so muddy... it was like a baby's poop, yellow with white, white with yellow, and some green, black and white.
The color is so disgusting that just looking at it makes you want to vomit.
Not to mention walking on it - no matter what kind of shoes you are wearing, as long as you take a step on it, your shoes will get stuck in it immediately.
In addition, the south is inherently hot, and there are many snakes, rats, insects, ants, and all kinds of poisonous insects. And they are all very good at camouflage.
If you accidentally come across it, a bite will be fatal.
Although there were not many cases, and the chaplains who accompanied the army followed closely to provide timely rescue, but... this kind of thing was extremely damaging to morale.
Every time it spread, all the soldiers in the order were frightened. They took a step forward, all widened their eyes and looked carefully before they stepped forward. They were afraid that they would be bitten. Then they carefully looked at the next step.
Landing point, and then moving forward...
When they finally relaxed their vigilance and began to march, the news of "someone had been bitten" came again. Once again, they became as alert as rabbits who heard the wind.
In fact, these are pretty good. The most terrifying thing is the grassland around the road. It is also full of murderous intentions.
Although the grassland does not look any different from other places on the outside, due to the continuous rain, it has actually turned into a swamp.
With its mouth wide open, it just waits for any unlucky person to pass by, and then swallows him in one gulp without even spitting out the dregs.
In addition, there was continuous rain, which made many people in the army sick. The military doctor's Red Cross tent was full of people. Most of them suffered from colds and dysentery, vomiting and diarrhea... etc.
Waiting for symptoms of acclimatization.
This is the result of Lord Luo dragging them here to train for several months.
Although Lord Luo was eager to get in touch with Petrius, seize Zinderen Fortress, and gain the initiative on the battlefield, under such circumstances, Laohe's troops were moving at a speed not much faster than a snail.
In fact, Leo caught a turtle without causing trouble, tied a red line on it, and let it race with the troops on the roadside.
As a result, they discovered the next day that the turtle had already left them far behind.
Therefore, Sir Alex is extremely capable. Facing such bad weather, he can only look at the ocean...well, look at the rain and sigh, there is no way.
And when the weather finally cleared up, a thunderbolt struck his feet with a "click". Hadu woke up.
Moreover, with just one message, the south was conquered. Petrius, who was in a loss, saw the opportunity and ran quickly, otherwise, he would have been beaten to death.
Lorraine raised his head, looked at the majestic fortress between the two mountains, and sighed in his heart: It seems that the attack on the city is inevitable~!
At this moment, I heard footsteps next to me.
And when we were far away, we heard the loud and cheerful voice of the other party, saying: "Ha, Lorraine, you are here, I have something to discuss with you."
Lorraine turned around and saw a burly man striding over. Heavy military boots stepped on the road that had just rained, causing water to splash. The attendants next to him took cover.
Lorraine couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Apart from Leo and Xiao Bai, this man is the only other person who can run rampant and arrogant among Lao He's troops. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to recommend it.
