Xia Ya and Green looked at each other, and both caught a smile in each other's eyes. Both of them had the same meaning in their hearts: what are they really thinking about
Immediately let Cato go out and call people in. Xia Ya smiled at Green: "You said, why did the Seventh Corps send someone to come to us?"
Green shook his head, but his expression was not relaxed: "Most of them came for help, but we can't take care of ourselves now, I'm afraid..."
Before he could finish speaking, Cato had already led a man in stride outside.
The one who followed behind Cato had a burly stature and brown hair. His upper body was a piece of armor worn by middle and low-ranking officers in the Imperial Army. He had a sword hanging from his waist. It was full of dust and looked very embarrassed.
This man's appearance is not outstanding, but he has a very eye-catching big hooked nose. He strode in and was about to salute when he saw Xia Ya at a glance, and he was stunned for a moment, and an exclamation came out of his mouth involuntarily.
"what!"
When Xia Ya saw this person, she was stunned for a while, and then there was a bit of weirdness in her eyes.
This guy with the big hook nose, standing there, just looking at Xi Ya, the expression on his face is very embarrassed, and he also shows a bit of panic, as if he is at a loss, and even forgot to salute for a while.
The two looked at each other for a while, and a strange smile slowly appeared on Xia Ya's face, deliberately smiling in a surprised tone: "Yi? Who am I supposed to be, so it's you? Grenshire, Isn't your big eagle hooked nose in the Sixth Corps? When did you go to the Seventh Corps?"
This guy named Grenshire heard this. Although his face was full of dust, his face was flushed. He looked at Char for a while, hesitating, but he couldn't say a word.
Looking at the appearance of the two, Green knew that there must be a secret relationship, and he didn't speak, just smiled and said nothing.
After a while, the guy named Grenshire finally sighed, patted his thigh, and smiled bitterly: "Unlucky! I am unlucky. I didn't expect that the commander of the defense of Denzel City would actually It's you Xia thundering, alas..."
"What's going on?" Xia Ya shook his head: "Why do you call yourself the envoy of the Seventh Corps?"
With that said, he walked over, pressed Grenshire to the chair and sat down, and threw a water bag with his own hands: "Drink first, and tell me slowly."
Grenshire didn't drink water, but grabbed Xi Ya's arm with his backhand and said sternly: "Since I met you, I won't hide it anymore. Xi Ya, please save the brothers of our sixth corps. Bar!"
Afterwards, what Grenshire said made both Char and Green fall into silence...
…
This Grenshire was indeed of the Sixth Corps—not the Seventh. And the understanding between him and Char also stemmed from the last war with the Odins on the wildfire. At that time, the 6th Corps and the Roderian Cavalry Corps fought jointly. At that time, Xia Ya performed well in that battle, especially in the final challenge battle. He rushed into the formation with more than 200 miscellaneous cavalry and rescued the large army that had entered the camp. His brave performance won the whole team. compliments from the army. At that time, the big eagle-nosed Grenshire was a battalion officer among the logistical quarters of the 6th Corps, and had dealt with Char several times. This guy has a witty and cheerful temperament, but it fits Charya's temperament very well. The two of them have some sort of stinky similarities, and it can be regarded as a bit of friendship.
But I didn't expect to meet him in this city of Denzel today.
As for Grenshire falsely claiming to be the envoy of the 7th Corps, there is actually a reason.
As we all know, the former general of the Sixth Corps was the famous Rabbit General Ruhr. But such fame is more of a mockery. For the vast majority of the Empire, General Ruhr's reputation has more of a negative meaning.
A general who is best at escaping is naturally impossible to become an idol of the imperial army like Adric. And because of this, the true strength of the Sixth Corps has been greatly underestimated by the world for many years. In the eyes of most people, generals are the best at escaping, so this army must have ordinary skills other than escaping.
Ruhr won the hearts of the army when he was in the 6th Corps. No matter what outsiders think, most of the soldiers in the army have a very simple understanding: as long as the generals regard the soldiers as people, not the lives of the soldiers. as consumables. Following such a leader, the chance of survival is far greater than that of other troops, that's enough!
Don't look at the reputation of the Rodriguez cavalry regiment, but who would pay attention to it, the casualty rate of the Rodriguez cavalry regiment has always been the highest of all the empire's troops
Not all people are war lunatics, and not all soldiers are not afraid of death.
It's almost as good as the reputation. Survival is the most important thing.
But the problem is that after the war with the Odins last year, the upper echelons of the imperial army changed. After Adric stepped down as the general of the Rodriguez cavalry regiment, the old emperor chose a circle, but he made an unexpected move. Unexpected decision: Rabbit General Ruhl takes over as General of the Rodriguez Cavalry. Let a famous rabbit lead the most powerful lions in the empire.
As a result, after Ruhr took office, he did a pretty good job. This is not surprising, including the old emperor, as well as Adric, Xia Ya and others. Originally, Ruhl was not the one in the eyes of the secular people who would only run away. This cunning fat man is simply a hidden star.
The Roderian cavalry regiment got a new leader who was equally good after sending Adric the titan.
But this way... Ruhr's original old army, the Sixth Corps, has been forgotten.
If Ruhl himself is the most underrated general in the empire, then the Sixth Corps is the most underrated army!
Xia Ya has a deep understanding of this.
Not to mention anything else, just talk about the last war with the Odins, the Rodian cavalry regiment and the 6th regiment made a big retreat from the wildfire plains of Albacette, and in that big retreat, The Sixth Corps showed a strong quality.
In that great retreat, the Odins were chasing after them, and the army marched for hundreds of miles. Even many Rodriguez cavalrymen couldn't bear this kind of intensity. But the Sixth Corps survived! And don't forget, the Rodriguez cavalry runs on four-legged horses, while the guys from the Sixth Corps run on two legs.
Running on two legs and four legs, there was almost no one left behind in the Sixth Corps at the end of the run.
Even after the battle that hit the Hastings Camp, when the post-war count was conducted, the losses of the Sixth Corps were far less than that of the Roderian cavalry!
The quality of this army, which is considered to "only escape", is evident!
But the problem is... After Ruhr left office, the Sixth Corps was almost forgotten by the empire. This undervalued army has suffered a cold reception.
The Sixth Corps has never been an imperial ace like the Roderian cavalry, and it has a bad reputation. And after the only backbone, Ruhr, left office, the army was almost reduced to the point where grandma didn't love uncle or uncle.
The first is the weakening of combat effectiveness.
When Ruhr left office, he took away some old subordinates who had followed him for many years. These were the most experienced elites in the army. Ruhl almost directly took an officer corps from the Sixth Corps. Two flag regiment-level plus eight battalion-level elites were taken away by Ruhr at one time.
In the reconstruction of the various units after the war, the Sixth Corps was also the one with the greatest loss.
Ruhr went to the Rodriguez cavalry regiment to take office, and through some means, he selected an old subordinate of the banner regiment from the sixth regiment.
Emperor Cantos ordered the transfer of two banner regiments from the 6th Corps, one part to enrich the city guards of the imperial capital, and the other part to the 2nd and 9th Corps which were rebuilt after the war.
This time, the Sixth Corps was reduced by half.
It's a pity that this army has hardly suffered any major damage during the war, but it was rebuilt after the war, and half of its people disappeared in a flash.
And the ones who were recruited were still the main elites. As a result, the shelf of the Sixth Corps collapsed almost at once.
This guy Grenshire was originally just a battalion officer for the logistics quarters in the 6th Corps.
Therefore, the direct line candidate that Ruhr took away has no place for him. The old emperor ordered the transfer of the elite troops of the Sixth Corps to enrich them elsewhere, and he had no part in it. This guy stayed in the 6th Corps, but it was because the 6th Corps was recruited too hard, and the manpower was tight. He was a battalion officer who used to be a logistical quartermaster, but he was promoted. In the main battle unit, the rank has also been raised from the battalion officer level to the deputy flag regiment level, and now he is serving as the deputy flag officer of a flag regiment in the Sixth Corps.
The 6th Corps was recruited too hard, and the remaining veterans were less than half of the former (or the relatively poor half.), and then the entire army was ordered to station in a small county called Nods County in the northwest of the empire. It wasn't until three months ago that the upper echelons of the empire seemed to finally remember this army that was almost falling apart.
Several orders were issued, the first being the appointment of a new corps general.
As an army that has always been loyal to the royal family, although the Sixth Corps has always been considered to be low in combat effectiveness, it is still in the hands of the royal family after all. Strangely enough, this new corps general is not a traditional eagle general, or even a traditional soldier who graduated from the Imperial Military Academy. The new general, His Excellency, is forty years old, but he came from a big noble family and holds the title of a viscount.
Immediately, the reorganization order was issued, and the Sixth Corps deployed troops from the local garrison in Notz County and the two surrounding counties to replenish troops on the spot—you must know that the armament of the original local garrison was slack, and the three counties that were ordered to replenish the source of troops, On paper, there are three flag regiments of the local garrison, but the actual number, hum...
Fortunately, the upper management also understood the following situation, and added an order to allow the Sixth Corps to recruit troops on the spot, and even allocated a military fee.
But the problem is... this newly-appointed general of the Corps is a downright mediocrity.
The new general is a full-fledged aristocrat. After taking office, he has no intention of preparing the military. He probably also understands that the upper echelons do not have much hope for the combat effectiveness of this army.
Moreover, to put it bluntly, this noble gentleman's appointment as the general of the Sixth Corps is mostly the result of a compromise between the eagle faction and the noble faction among the royalists.
Don't be surprised, even though they are both royalists, there is no harmony between the Eagles and the Nobles. Although the royal family relied heavily on the eagle family, for the royal family, if all the troops loyal to themselves were handed over to the eagle family, the emperor's heart might not be really at ease. Therefore, the way to balance, always let the nobles master some strength, in order to better check and balance the power of the eagles.
After the noble general took office, he did not look like a military general at all. This gentleman liked to enjoy it. After two months in office, he lived in the county capital city for one and a half months. Most of the affairs in the army are ignored.
As for the military expenses issued above for recruiting new soldiers, this gentleman embezzled a small part of it first. For the past two months, he has been hanging out in the Fengyue place in the capital city.
After such a delay, what the Sixth Corps looked like before is still what it looks like now. It's just that three or five hundred old and weak people were recruited from the local garrison, which was a reluctance to add an auxiliary battalion.
The old foundation of the true Sixth Corps now only has three banner regiments, with less than 10,000 people.
In the past few months, the hearts of the troops of the 6th Corps have been dissipated. Fortunately, several old men at the banner and regiment level barely maintained the situation and maintained normal training. pre-war level.
But that's not the worst of it.
A few days ago, the situation in the empire suddenly changed drastically, the royal family and the warlords broke up, and the curtain of civil war opened.
The Sixth Corps was in an embarrassing situation.
The order sent by the imperial capital to call for troops from all over the country to go to the imperial capital was received, but the problem was that the sixth corps had no way to start the Qin king.
Because the upper echelons of the empire were not welcome, the 6th Corps was assigned to a small county in the northwest of the empire near the frontier. From there to the imperial capital of Osgilia, there are thousands of miles, and there are four warlords' military districts in the middle. With less than 10,000 troops in the Sixth Corps, it is simply courting death to travel thousands of miles and travel through four military regions!
The most irritating thing is that when the situation was urgent and the army sent people to the capital city to look for the new general to return to the camp to take charge of the overall situation, the new aristocratic general, Mr. Running away with a few raised lovers!
This time, there were no generals in the army, and several old men at the flag regiment level sat down and summed up, and they all thought that it was basically impossible to go to the imperial capital. Everyone came up with an idea: nominally respond to the order of the imperial capital, but the entire army continues to rest in place and step up its preparations for battle.
But it's not over.
A few days later, disaster strikes again!
Odin Valkyrie, Hasting's Black Flag Army, suddenly came from the north!
This time, the Black Flag Army did not reach the Albact Plain, but took a detour from the Red Wilderness and went south along the northwest.
After getting the military report, several leading officers in the Sixth Corps were dumbfounded.
How powerful is Hasting's Black Flag Army? Even on weekdays, the only people in the empire who can wrestle with the Black Flag Army are the Rodririan cavalry.
Even when the strength of the Sixth Corps was intact, when the wise and wise General Ruhr was commanding the army, he did not dare to resist the edge of the Black Flag Army head-on, and only escaped from Hastings by using tricks.
More so now? Only half of the troops of the Sixth Corps remained, and the generals fled the battle, and the army was scattered, let alone expecting them to resist the Black Flag Army.
Originally, everyone planned to retreat to the capital city of Notz County to resist the city.
But the bad news came again! The county governor of Notz County, seeing the ferocious force of the Odinite Hastings Black Flag Army, surrendered immediately!
This time, the Sixth Corps was completely in a desperate situation.
The field battle is definitely unbeatable, and the city has surrendered in the defense of the city. I am a lonely army, no matter how I look at it, it is a dead end.
What's even more irritating is that Hastings got the news that the Imperial Army stationed in North County is actually his "old enemy" Sixth Corps! Hasting I was famous. He was tricked by Ruhl back then, and he thought it was a lifelong humiliation. When he had the opportunity this time, he didn't even send troops to accept the surrendered city, so he immediately took the Black Flag Army towards the sixth The corps station was killed!
At this critical juncture where life and death are on the line, the remaining old men in the Sixth Corps decided to make use of the glorious traditions left by the former general, Lord Ruhr...
"Since you can't beat...then... just fucking run!!"
To confront the Black Flag Army head-on is something the current Sixth Corps can't do—not to mention it couldn't do it now, it couldn't do it back then.
When it came to escape, the confused hearts of the officers and men of the 6th Corps suddenly became enlightened! It was as if the sun had broken out of the clouds, and the bewildered heart suddenly became enlightened!
run away? Oh shit! This is what we are best at! !
Although the imperial military law, the garrison has the responsibility of defending the land, if the general escapes, the general will be punished by death, and the officer will be punished. But... it's not that the brothers of the 6th Corps are afraid of death. Everyone wants to resist, and they plan to defend the city. The problem is that the sheriffs of Nots County have surrendered and sold the city to the Odins. Now that the Sixth Corps has no place to stand, how can they fight
In this case, instead of giving it away in vain, it is better to save your strength and wait for the future!
What else do you want? run the fuck! !
