Chapter 805 The war is on!
Chapter 806
"grown ups……"
"grown ups……"
"Mr. Hamo..."
An urgent call came from the rear of the team and came into Hamo's ears walking at the forefront of the entire team.
"Everything is so irritating, so calm me down. Why? Is it scared that you are so brave because I just lost a battle?"
Ha Mo stopped moving forward with a calm face, controlled the war horse under his crotch and turned his head, and shouted in a deep voice at the deputy general who was running over with the war horse behind him, with a very stern tone.
From this we can see that Hamo's current mood is obviously not very good.
However, this cannot be entirely blamed. Who made him suffer a defeat under the attack of the two armies of Pangke and Kaoqi several times his own, losing nearly one-third of his vitality!
If Hamo had not experienced the experience of the old man, he had seen the opportunity quickly and sacrificed the entire infantry division to block the pursuers, and then led the large army to abandon most of the baggage and quickly deviated from the battlefield and evacuated from a dangerous path, I am afraid that the surprise soldier led by Hamo would have been completely made into dumplings by the two armies of Pangke and Kaoqi, and the entire army was wiped out.
Undoubtedly, this is the most cowardly battle that Ha Mo has fought since joining the Chinese forces.
However, Ha Mo also knew clearly that if the previous incident was encountered by other Chinese generals, even the other three Yuanmasters might not be able to handle it better than himself.
In addition to the newly joined Fifth Marshal, the Iron-Faced Duke, Lord Qu Jianhong, who may be able to turn defeat into victory with his own terrifying power that is strong enough to change the entire battle situation, the other three Marshals will probably still be beaten to lose their armor and run away in a mess like him.
To put it in the most common sentence Ye Piao said, this is completely a sin of non-war. If he is not a God, he naturally cannot do what only God can do.
However, Hamo still felt very cowardly at this moment!
Because I was defeated by two national armies that I least wanted to fail.
Pangke! Kaochi!
These two names often appear in Hamo's dreams like two ghosts, making Hamo hate, hatred, and hatred all the time.
Now, Hamo finally has the opportunity to take revenge with the army he built over several years.
However, the end of this first battle ended with his own disastrous defeat.
Let me ask, how can Hamo feel that he is not cowardly at this moment, and how can he feel that he is not angry?
Now, the anger in his body had burned all over his chest and had already reached his throat, and was about to burst out from his mouth and turn into real fire.
However, as the commander of the first army, Ha Mo had to suppress the anger in his heart and force himself to calm down.
Because if the commander loses his mind, the army of tens of thousands of people behind him may be doomed by him in the next moment.
In this way, you don’t have to avenge your revenge anymore. In other words, you are not the one to avenge yourself.
Therefore, Hamo must endure it, first of all bad negative emotions are tolerated in his heart, and try not to express it as much as possible so that many of his subordinates can feel panic.
"If you have something to do, don't be shocked and scammered!"
In a calm voice, although Hamo's expression was stern, he was calm, and his eyes were filled with awesome fighting spirit, and he did not feel any decadent because of the defeat just now.
It is precisely because of Hamo's performance that the morale of the soldiers of the entire army was greatly encouraged, and the morale and fighting spirit were still high, and the formation of the march was as neat as before.
"Report to the Marshal, the scouts sent by the Hou Army are rewarded. The two enemy pursuers are advancing very quickly. They should be composed of all cavalry. We are getting closer and closer. We will be able to catch up with our Hou Army in about half a day and come with our tails. Marshal, please decide!"
"Oh? So fast! It seems that both Pangke and Kaoqi don't want to give up this opportunity to eat us now!"
His brows frowned slightly, and Hamo sneered, his expression still calm as before, without a trace of panic or anxiety.
"By the way, what's going on in the south side of Tingbai? Did Genton and Garroro send a message to you?"
Turning his head, Hamo looked at his deputy general, not only did not care about his adverse factors, but also cared about the situation of the facial theater.
He took out a small wrinkled note that was demolished from his arms, which was obviously the kind used to deliver a letter from the flying pigeon, and respectfully presented it to Hamo. Then the deputy general said: "Master Marshal, Gorton and Garroro used flying birds to send a letter to the extinguisher. Their army had already crossed the Roerna River, occupied most of the provinces across the river, defeated the counterattack of several Pangke's troops, and now stabilized the situation there. Their Pangke's letter told us that we should move south. Because they realized that both Kaochi and Pangke's main force were currently on the land of these two provinces in the north, which pose a great threat to our lonely army."
"Go to the south? No, no, why should we move to the south?"
Looking at the small note full of words in his hand, a smile suddenly appeared on Hamo's face that made the deputy general beside him feel a little creepy. The smile was like a demon from hell who deliberately seduced the angels to fall. It was full of blood, making people feel cold.
"Dodoro, my deputy general, what did you think of when you look at this note? Are we in trouble? Or something else? No, not. Let me tell you, I saw an opportunity on this note, an opportunity to completely defeat the coalition forces of Pangke and Kaochi..."
"Opportunity? Marshal, please forgive me for being stupid. I didn't see any chance from it. On the contrary, I saw the danger. The note says that the main forces of the Pangke and Kaochi are now occupying the main forces of the army in the northern region. If we do not move south as stated above, we may be eaten by the enemy. By then, we may not even be able to run away. You must know that not only are there knights in my army, but also many infantry, it is impossible to deal with the enemy in the field. It is almost a matter of time before we are caught up with the enemy."
"You said it right..."
Nodding, Hamo unexpectedly recognized the deputy general's statement, but he obviously had other plans, which were not as simple as the deputy general thought.
"Dodoro, you just said it well. If you still stay in this area, it is indeed a very dangerous thing for us. However, have you ever thought that the more military forces the north is used to deal with us, the less military forces the south is used to block Gordon and Garroro. As long as we can restrain the enemy for a longer period of time here, Gordon and Garroro will gain a lot more, and the controlled land will grow at an astonishing rate. When they completely defeat the enemy in the south, rush the army north, and attack us from inside and outside the two armies of Kaochi and Pangke, they will naturally solve all the troubles in one fell swoop, and the outcome will be determined by one battle."
"This... this is too dangerous. We can't get involved with the enemy for so long in such an environment. Besides, even if we have that strength, our supplies can't support that long. You know, in the previous battle, I had abandoned most of the supplies, and each *** had only ten days of food ration left. How could there be any strength to restrain the two coalition forces of Kaoqi and Pangke? This is simply impossible."
"But, Dodoro, tell me now that even if we retreat south according to the plan above, can we escape the enemy's pursuit? Don't forget that the enemy has now chased us, and things have reached the point where we must fight against the enemy regardless of whether we do this or not. So, Dodoro, execute the order and tell your brothers that even if we die, we must leave a deep memory for the enemy, not to mention that we may not die."
For a moment, he was speechless by Hamo's words. Although Duoduo wanted to refute Hamo, he could not find any language to refute. Just as Hamo said just now, things have reached the point where he must fight the enemy regardless of whether he did this or not.
Therefore, Duoduoluo received Hamo's order silently and stood there quietly without saying a word.
"The former army will change its direction and go east. There is a river there that will allow us to temporarily get rid of the pursuit of enemy cavalry, let the soldiers of the former army quickly build a pontoon bridge, let the entire army pass, and then burn the pontoon bridge..."
After thinking about it, Hamo seemed to feel that it was not enough, and then ordered: "By the way, after the pontoon bridge was burned, leave two teams of archers there. Remember to bring a few more barrels of arrows. When the enemy arrives and build the pontoon bridge, use the bow and arrow to delay the time as much as possible until all the arrows are shot, and then follow us with the mark. I believe that in this way, before the enemy catches up with us, we should have been able to capture a city formation and provide a little supply."
"Get the map..."
With a shout, several personal soldiers beside Hammer immediately took out a huge canvas map on the horse's back, and then the four of them leaned together to spread the huge map in front of Hammer and Dodoro.
“Look here…”
He pointed to a land northeast on the map with a long sheathed sword, and several circles of blood were circled with a red brush, which seemed to be some more important towns.
Pointing at them, Hamo said to Dodoro with a cold eyes and firmly: "This is some towns in the northeast of Pangke Yumai. In addition, this is the most important grain-producing area after the fall of Pangke Yumai. Therefore, as long as we arrive there and capture one or two towns, we will have supplies and the capital to deal with the enemy. Although the scale and city defense of these towns are smaller and are not suitable for defensive operations, our goal is not to fight against the enemy but to delay them as much as possible."
"In this way, the rest will be much simpler. As long as we capture the town, we divide a certain number of infantry to garrison there, act as a stance of guarding, and then gather all the cavalry together, take the remaining infantry to attack other towns, and after the capture, we will send a certain number of infantry to defend the dead according to the previous method. And so on, with the number of our infantry, if we station one town according to the number of 8,000 people, we can defend five towns. By then, we will only have 30,000 cavalry with high mobility, and we can deal with the enemy."
"Dodoluo, you just received a message from the scout that all the pursuers chasing us were cavalry with extremely high power. Very well, the enemy made such arrangements very well. You should know that although the cavalry has high power, if they are used to attack the city, it will be completely a tiger biting a turtle and nowhere to be able to slap. They will never use their own rifles and heads to hit the walls we occupied! Humph! If he really does not do anything, without three or four times the number, it will be impossible to capture eight thousand cities with well-equipped and well-equipped infantry guarding the dead. And even if they really invested so, I believe that it would be impossible to capture the town in a short time. I don't believe that their head coach would be so stupid that he parked the main army there just to capture a small city with only eight thousand people."
"Then, what they have to do next is naturally to divide the troops!"
Duoduoluo suddenly shivered all over, as if he understood Hamo's plan.
"That's right, Duoduoluo, what you said just now is to divide the troops. Since it is impossible to waste precious time by stopping the main army there for a few small cities, then his commander can only divide the troops. Because it is impossible for them to let the most important grain production base in the rear be occupied by us in such a grand manner. And it will undoubtedly take a considerable time to re-mobilize infantry and equipment that can be used to attack the city. Therefore, this is our opportunity."
"After the division of troops, the number of enemies chasing us will definitely be greatly weakened, because they will leave several times with our cavalry in the five towns. In this way, we will not be unable to fight with them. As long as the design is well, we may eat them in one bite."
"Of course, it's just an idea. Our real goal is to hold them as much as possible and not give them the energy to deal with the Southern Alliance of Gotton and Garroro. Although, doing so may cost us a lot. It's my brother, but as long as we can drag the enemy here, everything is worth it."
His eyes gradually lit up. Even Duoluo, who had not agreed with Hamo doing this before, had to admit that Hamo's method was very good.
As for the issue that Hamo said later that many people would die, Duoduo was not too self-righteous after hearing this.
Because as long as it is war, people will inevitably die. As a veteran general who has experienced many battles, Dodoluo has long been numb.
If everything can really be as Hamo planned before, then it is really as Hamo said just now, everything is worth it.
"Don't die, you can die. At worst, just throw your head here. There's nothing big about it! Haha..."
With a loud laugh, Dodoro saluted Hamo heavily, then slapped his horse's belly and rushed to the front and arranged it as if he was flying.
On the other hand, Hamo sighed softly at the map covered with red circles.
If everything is really as Hamo expected, then after this battle, there will be many people in his team, and even the entire army will be wiped out.
It is precisely because Duoduo clearly knows this that he says something before leaving the end.
However, for victory and revenge, Hamo had no choice. Even if there was hell ahead, Hamo would still take the war horse to walk on.
"May Arenas bless us!"
Retracting his gaze towards the map, Hamo prayed in his heart to Ye Piao, who had become a god. He strodes his horse's heads and chased the team leader who had already left him far ahead.
"King Ye is back! Hey, King Ye is back!"
When Ye Piao supported Nicholas and appeared in the sight of the sentry who was responsible for keeping watch in the north of the new city, the news of "King Ye Return" was like a story called "The Wolf is Coming" that Ye Piao knew in his previous life, which was astonishingly and rapidly spread throughout the city, making even the old man who was about to take his last breath, to the baby who had just been born and breathed the first breath of air, he had already known it.
"It seems that you are really the people here! Arenas!"
He muttered in Ye Piao's ear, and had already changed into a new piece of clothing and barely recovered from the handsome and elegant Nicholas was flying all the way under Ye Piao's help, almost causing the crazy cheering residents in the new city below to explode.
That powerful sound effect is definitely extremely lethal to Nicholas now, making Nicholas curse pale and constantly.
"Hey, buddy, if you could have half of the hearts I have now when you were the Pope, you wouldn't have been so miserable. Even the Pope's position was usurped!"
With a smile on his face, he sprinkled a handful of salt heavily on Nicholas's already inflamed wound. Ye Piao looked at the corner of Nicholas's mouth and touched him twice before he knew that this guy must be very unhappy now and wanted to strangle himself to death.
Chapter completed!
