Eight hundred and twentieth nine chapters change accident
On the battlefield where the blood mist was floating, Blackbeard hesitated. The most troublesome thing was that Andrea was also actively dealing with the situation. The Geese family would definitely not let go of Downton as a chess piece.
The reason why the nine empires are called the Nine is because of their influence. Not to mention the third-rate countries in the north, they are second-rate. All the important ministers also have friendly wealthy families and empires, and their secret relationships are as dense as a cobweb.
Although the Duke of the North is already one of the five most powerful people in Frankfurt, in the eyes of those wealthy families, he is just a tasteless and expired cake that is a pity to abandon. Without him, the territory is too small and the war potential is too high.
Low.
The Duke of the North doesn't want to live like this for generations. He is tired of this title. He wants to have a taste of sitting on the throne of the king, and now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Why did the king who had endured it for nearly fifty years suddenly send out his army to attack the Western Territory? It was because he was seriously ill and did not have much time left. Looking at his son with a bad personality and no talent, he knew that if he did not help him take back the four territories,
The royal power of Frankfurt is about to slip from the hands of his descendants.
"Commander, don't hesitate, make a decision quickly!"
The staff advised that the most taboo thing on the battlefield is hesitating. Even the worst decision is ten times better than such hesitation.
"Those two damn guys, if they knew this situation, they would be laughing, right?"
The bad situation made Blackbeard gnash his teeth. He and the Duke's original intention was to concentrate superior forces first and capture the Western Territory, and then negotiate with those wealthy families to seek support at this cost, but they never thought that Downton would be so difficult to chew.
The staff officers looked at each other in confusion, but based on their intelligence, they also guessed that the commander was scolding the Duke of the Southern and Eastern Territories.
"Blow the horn and withdraw the troops!"
Blackbeard finally issued this order. There is still a large army in the north. When they are gathered together, they will definitely be able to defeat the natives in Downton. There is no need to fight to the death here, otherwise the number of troops will be reduced. In the end, the cheapest ones will definitely be the king and the two dukes.
.
"Commander, there is no need to regret. We did not send troops rashly before. Downton's arrival will definitely consolidate the miscellaneous forces."
"Yes, otherwise in a few days, the number of hilly natives will increase, and it will definitely be more difficult to fight."
"Not only that, the number of ordinary soldiers will also increase. Downton will definitely launch a nationwide mobilization order!"
The staff members were all talking, comforting Blackbeard. No matter from every aspect, the commander-in-chief's decision was correct. It was just bad luck. Who could have imagined that the Western Region would suddenly burst out with such great strength.
Woo! Woo! Woo!
The long trumpet sound sounded, and the soldiers in the northern border were stunned for a moment, and then they evacuated the battlefield like the sea water ebbing in the evening.
"They are about to withdraw. Chase them and chop them to death!"
Barbarians are all warriors who have been killed in a heap of life and death. They have the most sensitive sense of smell on the battlefield. They noticed the signs immediately and rushed out without waiting for Downton's order.
"Kill!"
"Don't let this food go!"
The morale of the natives was greatly boosted, and they followed closely behind, slashing and killing like crazy.
Abagong's economic acumen was very flexible. He would not let these indigenous people eat enough, otherwise how would they drive them? In addition, they were afraid of hunger, so the indigenous people killed people and ate at the same time. They picked up the body parts and threw them in
It bites in the mouth, so the scene is bloody and cruel.
"These natives must change their habit of eating people!"
Downton frowned, and Celes was so frightened that she squatted on the ground and vomited. Killing and eating people are two completely different concepts.
"Hey, in the eyes of these indigenous people, anything that can be eaten is food. This is determined by civilization and the environment. If you want to change it, it may not be easy!"
Homer did not say that with the low productivity in the West, I am afraid that I cannot afford to feed these big-bellied ogres. Even if I could, it would be more cost-effective to continue to recruit barbarians or even human soldiers.
The military expenditure of arming an ogre can be used to arm a dozen human soldiers, plus food and drink. The price-performance ratio is too low. On the other hand, there are too many humans and they can be consumed as cannon fodder.
"Any empire has only a handful of ace corps, and they are all familiar ones. Most of them are filled with miscellaneous brands. After all, it is also a science to maximize the potential of limited resources."
Homer Science, the battlefield is not just about fighting, but also about harassment, siege, and many logistical divisions of labor. You can’t let the ace legion be stationed at the sentry post, right?
"I will consider it, Quasimodo, send the signal and withdraw the troops!"
Downton clenched his fists and hesitated several times before giving up the pursuit of the entire army.
Quasimodo is taciturn, but very loyal to Downton, and will carry out any orders to the letter.
"Why? Now we have a big victory?"
Jackson was puzzled.
"The enemy did not collapse, but retreated on their own initiative. Didn't you see? The military formation is not in chaos. If we catch up, we will only increase casualties!"
Downton was also helpless. Although the Foreign Legion tried its best to block the Qingqi because of Charlotte, after all, they were just a group of militiamen who had not received any formal training. They had suffered a lot of losses and were no longer able to fight anymore. They had to rest and recuperate.
As for the human corps, although they had a good momentum just now, their training and equipment were not good enough. More than half of them were slaughtered by the light cavalry, and most of the remaining ones were still in trouble. If the natives had not arrived in time, the entire army would have been destroyed.
"Now we need time to issue a mobilization order and recruit soldiers, so the longer it takes, the better it is for us!"
Homer sighed, "If the Devil Corps arrives in time, there is no chance!"
On the bank of Yuexi Lake, the soldiers were as dense as ants, squirming quickly. Downton looked at the flag of the Northern Commander in silence. The devils were all magicians, and the lowest was the Judgment level. If they had them, they could completely attack the black army.
The Beard Formation.
"At least we have a few days of preparation before reinforcements from the north arrive!"
Downton let the Firebirds continue to attack, using air superiority to harass, not trying to kill the enemy, but just to consume their energy and fighting spirit.
No one can calm down when they see a super-level monster circling overhead.
"Huh? Why is there no signal to withdraw the troops yet?"
Downton went to comfort the wounded soldiers, show his closeness to the people, and increase his prestige. However, after waiting for nearly three minutes, he did not hear the sound of the horn. He immediately looked up and looked for Quasimodo.
"Is something wrong? It won't make such a mistake!"
Downton patted the wounded soldier on the shoulder and told him not to worry, then stood up to find Abomination.
"Master, the enemy formation is in chaos, and a regiment launched a surprise attack on them. It is speculated that it is your Devilman Corps!"
A soldier was sent back by Quasimodo and gave a hurried report.
"What?"
Downton released the Holy Snow Falcon, immediately rode up into the air, and used a monocular to observe the enemy's situation. Fortunately, the terrain here was plain, otherwise he wouldn't be able to see it even if he wanted to.
Sure enough, a cavalry group was charging towards Blackbeard's flag from the west.
Most of the troops of the Northern Frontier Army were piled at the rear of the formation to guard against the Western Frontier Army's pursuit. Now they suddenly encountered this situation and had to reinforce the west side, so the formation became loose.
"Order the whole army to attack, kill the commander of the northern border, and reward him with the title of baron, hereditary for three generations!"
Downton roared at the ground and rushed out on the Holy Snow Falcon. The Devilman's charge was very powerful. Maybe this unexpected sneak attack could get extra results, so he had to cooperate.
When the soldiers heard about the rewards, their morale was boosted, and they jumped from civilians to nobles, just look at today.
"Quick, follow me!"
Hutao chased the giant crystal beast and beat it fiercely. If she hunted down its head, she would definitely get praise from her elder brother. However, after the secret snow falcon flew from the sky and headed towards the formation, she immediately jumped on the bone dragon.
on his back, urging him to pursue.
"If you work harder, maybe you can kill it!"
The Bone Dragon stepped into the super beast and had not yet won a victory against the same level, so it couldn't wait to take down this crystal giant beast.
"You are an idiot. What's the use of killing this kind of thing? Go kill the other party's commander!"
Little Walnut roared in dissatisfaction. No matter how stupid she was, she still knew which one was of greatest value. Besides, Downton was in great danger when he invaded the enemy's position, so he had to go to rescue him.
"All right!"
The bone dragon had no choice but to force the crystal beast back with a breath of dragon breath, then flapped its wings and took off into the air, chasing after it as fast as possible.
The giant beast roared and ran faster because it had heard the call of its master's soul.
Black Hand and the Red Dragon Army have gone through hundreds of large and small battles, and he is considered a qualified commander. He didn't hear the horn sound of the entire army's attack immediately, and knew that Downton was probably about to withdraw his troops, so he stopped attacking the enemy commander.
, intercepting the enemy's path, and instead weaving in and out during the retreat, trying their best to maximize the results. However, after seeing the devil suddenly burst out of a sparse forest, he immediately changed his mind.
"Kill, kill the enemy's commander!"
Black Hand led his tribe to charge. He knew that his master would not miss this opportunity. Sure enough, he soon saw the figure of the Holy Snow Falcon flying towards him.
"Damn, what's going on with these guys?"
The staff officers were so frightened that they were sweating coldly as they watched the demons with overwhelming combat prowess rampage. They did not expect that Downton would actually use soldiers who were more elite than the commander's personal guards as surprise troops for sneak attacks. They knew that if their own side had just fought.
If you win, this special force will be completely useless.
"Whether we can gain Downton's trust depends on this time. Everyone, please fight hard!"
Some devils yelled that life has been difficult recently, their salary has been reduced, and the standard of three meals a day has also been reduced, which makes them very depressed, but there is no way, they all deserve it, no matter who has experienced a rebellion by his subordinates
After that, they will no longer be treated favorably.
During this long-distance attack, the dwarves had been left behind, and it was considered a big loss. Several more prestigious guys among the demons planned this sneak attack, hoping to save face and win Downton's favor.
To be honest, before these guys were transformed by the Black Flame Church, they were all so miserable that they risked their lives underground to make a living. Haha, they have no war experience. Their view is very simple. If Downton fails, they will retreat. If they win,
I made a surprise attack, and now I suddenly saw the Northern Army retreating. I thought Downton had won a big victory, so they all rushed out. (To be continued...)
