Outside of the new city, the Chixue Army's camp had not seen any movement for two consecutive days.
The army was just outside the new city, and they attacked for a while when they arrived on the first day, but they didn't expect to die on the second day, and there was no sound. So strange, it made the defenders in the city feel uneasy.
The Chixue Army Manningwei is famous, and since it went south, the annihilation of the 7th Corps and the levelling of the Corsica Military Region are all hard-fought feats! Chixue Army's reputation for being good at fighting and Manninger's wily impression are naturally firmly rooted in the hearts of these defenders.
The Odins suddenly stopped attacking the city... Could it be that Manninger is secretly plotting something
The fire in the city burned for a whole day and night before it was finally put out.
The fire in the city looks like a roaring boil from the outside, but in fact, the control of the fire in the city is extremely strict.
In order to control the fire, Nenezao ordered the surrounding streets to be cleared, and organized hundreds of people to stand by dozens of wells around the fire.
After all, Xincheng is a big city, and it is also a land-rich area such as Syltan County. The grain-producing area has always had one characteristic: abundant water resources. There are many rivers around the new city, and the groundwater is abundant. There are no less than 100 deep and shallow wells in the city. There are also imported canals, open canals and culverts. In winter, it only snows and it is very humid.
Therefore, the fire that was set in Nei Nei was determined in his heart, and he was not afraid of the spread of the fire, but instead burned the city.
It was originally intended to set fire to deter the enemy, but if the fire spreads accidentally and burns himself instead, that would be a big joke.
This method of setting fire to deter the enemy was secretly confessed to Nene by Xia Ya before she left the city. That day, Char Ya had whispered to Nene before leading the troops out of the city, which is exactly what he said.
The materials and crops in the new city are the lifeblood of Manninger. If such a fire is burned, it will break the foundation of Manninger! The Chixue Army will definitely lose morale!
Although it's a pity that this pile of things was set on fire—you must know that Xia Ya's own life is not rich. He has a small site and a weak foundation. It is already very hard to support more than 20,000 horses.
But this fire must be burned!
Nei Nei once suggested that setting fire to a few empty houses might also confuse people to live outside the city.
Shaya smiled.
He didn't think Nene's idea was whimsical, but in fact, for an old fox like Manninger, this kind of trick is probably hard to hide from the other party.
You know, there is a difference in the momentum of burning something and the smoke that rises up. Manninger has fought for half his life, and this difference can still be seen... Not to mention Manninger, some experienced old scouts in the army can see the difference!
Just as Manninger saw that there was a problem with the smoke in the Green Army! If Manninger can see that he is pretending to set fire, I am afraid that instead of achieving the effect of attacking the heart, it will increase Manninger's mood.
If these food supplies are burned, they will be burned!
However, Nene was still calculated by some women's families. Before setting the fire, they had to move out a small portion of the food for separate reserves.
When the fire was released, the Chi Xuejun outside the city suddenly stopped moving. For two whole days, they huddled in the camp outside the city. Not only were they not attacking the city, they didn't even pretend to attack or harass the city. -According to common sense, the side attacking the city, even if it does not intend to launch an offensive immediately, will at least send someone to yell or make a noise under the city to disturb the morale of the defenders.
But for the past two days, there was no sign of an Odin in the city, and the two sides looked at each other from a distance, and they actually felt a little bit of peace.
Although Nene is not a military veteran, he at least understands some common sense: Chi Xuejun's style is too weird!
Even, it is simply causing trouble for yourself!
The Chixue Army came out in full force this time to face Green, and it has been a long time since they sent troops. For a long time, the food and grass in the army have been consumed by the continuous transportation from the base camp of Xincheng. But then Xincheng was raided, and all the way back to the division, it took seven days on the way, and at the foot of Xincheng, it stopped for another two days.
It stands to reason that the food in the Chixue Army is almost bottomed out!
When the army is fighting, food is the most important thing!
The Chixue Army has tens of thousands of people, and the daily food consumption is tens of thousands of catties! ! Ten days is hundreds of thousands of pounds!
Military families have always fought wars. If a large army is dispatched, it is naturally impossible to bring all the food in the army at once - otherwise, stop fighting, and the soldiers will go to carry the food!
In the past, the grain reserves in the army were calculated in half a month: the rations consumed for half a month were used as reserves, and then the rear transportation was continuously replenished. Otherwise, if a war is to be fought for several months, it is impossible to take all the food consumed by the tens of thousands of troops for a few months with him.
Chi Xuejun lost his old nest in Xincheng, and the supply line was cut off naturally. He ran back all the way. The time on the road, plus the time in the city now, count the days. I am afraid that there is really not much food in the army!
The problem is, Nene also understood what Xia Ya had in mind, and openly set fire to the reserves in the city, which would surely make the morale of the Chixue Army in chaos - the food was gone, who could not panic
But now, this quiet is too weird!
Nei thought to herself, if she stood in Manninger's position, she had only two choices: either she would just give it a go, attack the city, and slaughter the enemy. anger.
Or, retreat immediately and find another place to eat!
But these two, no matter which way you choose, you must be fast! It is the biggest taboo of the military family to spend so much time!
What the hell is the Chi Xuejun outside the city doing
※※※
Chi Xuejun really didn't make a fool of himself.
Even if Xia Ya planned first, and even if Nei Nei was not stupid, who would have thought that the backbone of Chi Xuejun, the core leader, His Excellency Manninger, would actually die at this critical moment.
As the patriarch and commander-in-chief, Manninger wanted to be dignified and dignified, and the tribe also said the same thing.
But the result is... Once he is suddenly gone, the leader's position is vacant, and there will be no leader! Although there were many other clan leaders, generals and elders in the army, none of them had the prestige to overwhelm everyone.
If he joined Morka in the army, he might be able to persuade everyone by virtue of his status as the orthodox heir, but the problem is... Morka was slaughtered by Char early in the battle of Xincheng!
The commander dies, and so does the heir.
Before Manninger died, he took care of Gu, although Fielding was set up to preside over the overall situation, but... After he died, the situation changed!
Manninger was a killing decision during his lifetime. He was mastered by one person. As the patriarch, no one dared to violate his majesty. But the problem is that Manninger also had a problem during his lifetime: he was too arbitrary! The power is in his hands, but he has not cultivated any capable deputy. This may have been deliberately done by Manninger in order to maintain his rule, but now, it has become the biggest fatal flaw of Chi Xuejun.
Fielding naturally ruled Manninger's pro-camp. Manninger's pro-battalion is also the strongest among the battalions of the Chixue Army, and they are all elite soldiers of their own clan.
However, a standard Odin army like the Chixue Army has always had a crude internal military system, and it is not as well-regulated as the Byzantine army. A legion is often the epitome of a tribe. The various tribes of the tribe mobilized young warriors to form an army.
Without a strict military system, this kind of corps is actually more of a "joint corps". The tens of thousands of Chixue Army came from the coalition forces of various tribes in the Basak tribe. When Manninger was there, as the patriarch, and the strength of his pro-battalion was the strongest in the army, he could naturally overwhelm the entire army, and he was forbidden by orders. People, there are more!
The Basak tribe is one of the five major tribes of Odin. Such a large tribe has a history of repeated mergers and acquisitions over the years... Big tribes eat small tribes and expand and grow.
In a country with such a barbaric system, there are no laws to speak of.
After the big tribe attacked the small tribe, and then annexed it, the small tribe was merged into the big tribe, and the name changed, and they all became "Basak".
After Manninger's death, although Fielding was an elder in the clan, and he was also a true Basak of pure blood, not other clans annexed from outside, after all, he lacked prestige.
Although Manninger handed over the pro-camp to him, the problem is... After this battle, Manninger's pro-camp was the most damaged!
The 2,000 elites who stayed in Xincheng were the elites of their own family, and they were all destroyed by Xia Ya.
The thousands of cavalry who gathered to attack the new city, also the elite of the camp, were also defeated!
His Chixue Army claims to be in the tens of thousands, but in fact, Manninger's relatives account for less than half of them. Repeated damage, is already moving the vitality! Especially the elite cavalry, it is swept away!
In addition, there is another situation: Among the Chixue Army, there are only five or six thousand soldiers in the camp at the moment!
There were originally 15,000 kin soldiers in the entire army. In fact, before this war, Manninger disbanded a group and arranged them to be stationed in various places in Syltan County.
This was originally just a means of subduing Manninger. The relatives of his own family have no worries about loyalty and can naturally be stationed outside with confidence. And bring those people and horses who are not of their own family with you, just under your eyelids, and you can feel at ease if you have yourself staring at them!
The problem is, that was when Manninger was alive!
When Manninger was alive, let alone a large number of pro-camp soldiers, even if he was alone, with other tribesmen and horses, under the pressure of his historical prestige, no one dared to disobey any of his orders!
Therefore, for this expedition, Manninger in the army only brought more than 8,000 pro-battalion soldiers of his own clan, and the other pro-battalion elites were left to Morka in the new city of more than 2,000, and they were arranged in various parts of Syltan County. , Some are stationed in hundreds, some are stationed in thousands - stationed in various places, far away from the big camp, it is the attitude of the emperor, and there is more oil and water, and it is also some "welfare benefits that Manninger deliberately gave to his own relatives." ".
But now things are different!
There were more than 8,000 pro-battalion soldiers in the army. After thousands of cavalry were wiped out, only 5,000 or 6,000 remained. The camp leaders of the other tribes had almost no losses.
The strength has gone up and down, plus the father and son of Manninger and Morka are dead!
If there is no suppression above, the people below will be hard to say!
Fielding commanded the pro-battalion in accordance with Manninger's legacy, and he had ordered the entire army to return north the day after Manninger's death.
But after the order was issued, what made Fielding annoyed was that this order could not be implemented!
Some leaders of other tribes even openly resisted the order!
In the Chixue Army, in terms of status, each battalion represents the power of a tribe in the tribe. The leaders of each tribe also have the status of elders in the tribe. In terms of status, they can completely compete with Fei. Erding Chambers.
Fielding had no prestige in the past, and now he has some command of other tribes below.
For the past two days, Chi Xuejun has not moved his troops, but in the big tent of the coach, the quarrel has turned upside down!
The leaders of the various tribes, some of them are people of the Basak tribe, some are other small tribes that were annexed in the past, but now they all have their own thoughts!
Fielding conveyed Manninger's order to retreat, but on the spot, more than half of the leaders expressed open opposition! !
These people have different reasons!
Some demanded the immediate capture of the new city, and the reasons seemed to be abundant: to avenge the hatred of Patriarch Manninger and Morka.
Others think that returning to the north is too stupid: there are tens of thousands of soldiers on our side here, the world is so big, where can we go? Sirtain County is already eating fat in your mouth! Can you just spit it out? Even if the food is insufficient, let's go to other places to eat, loot the food, and rectify the army. This Syltan County is still ours!
Others thought that they should turn back immediately and go to eat Green's army to boost morale with the momentum of victory.
In short, no matter what they say, they think that going north and returning home is simply a ridiculous order.
Although everyone did not dare to publicly denounce this fate because of Manninger's former prestige, some people dared to say: The patriarch was only very ill before his death, and his mind was not very clear, so he gave such absurdity. We must not be confused. Since Ming knows that this order is disorderly, we should not execute it.
There are even some who are irritable, but have hidden ambitions, and they simply roll up their sleeves and openly shout: Although the patriarch is dead, I am still... and so on!
Such a scene gave Fielding a headache, and was even more secretly shocked!
Don't say whether the propositions of these tribal leaders are right or wrong, just looking at the chaos in front of him, Fielding can at least be sure: Patriarch Manninger's order to immediately return north is correct!
In an army, there are more than ten different voices, there is no strong commander above, and the more than ten battalions below are not submissive to each other - how can we fight? !
After watching the death of the patriarch, these guys came out one by one, and some of them started to openly covet the position of the commander... Even the last two days have been arguing. Pull out the knife!
In such a situation, I am afraid that without waiting for the Byzantines to make a move, if these people stay here for a few more days, they will have their own internal strife!
Torn apart!
Truly torn apart!
With such an army, they said that they would continue to stay in Syltan County and continue to fight... If they don't return to China as soon as possible, I am afraid that the entire army will be wiped out here!
In the final analysis, Fielding is really not a commander. Manninger was too strong before his death, and he didn't cultivate any assistants with all his heart. The boss was too strong, and the cronies around him also developed the habit of submissiveness.
Manninger valued Fielding for coming to the orphan, because Fielding had a calm and cautious temperament, and he was better than other Odins. And one more reason is that before he died, Manninger couldn't find any better candidate in a hurry. Among the dwarfs, he had to choose Fielding.
This man, Fielding, is more than prudent, but his courage is not enough. He can't convince everyone, but there is no good way. It just dragged on for two days. wasted.
Some people even see him as weak, and they even despise him in their hearts - the Odins have always respected the most heroic and heroic men.
What's more, seeing that the pro-camp in the army is weak, and the leading Fielding is a person who is not very assertive, he even made up his mind and wanted to simply annex the pro-camp...
After waiting for two days, the big tent was noisy every day, and Fielding finally ran out of patience!
Although he is not talented, his calm temperament is true. Seeing that these ambitious guys have appeared anxiously after the death of the patriarch, quarreling every day, they all want to take the position of head coach, and they cannot accept each other. Infighting and infighting... How could anyone really care about the patriarch's last life
Arguing every day, drawing knives, fighting each other... But how can anyone really care about the situation in the army
Although Fielding is anxious, he still pays attention to the situation in the army every time.
But these guys are all blinded by the position of the patriarch, and their eyes are red! These idiots! Do you think that if you grab the position of commander-in-chief of the Chixue Army, you will be able to ascend to the sky in one step
Since these guys are courting death, I, Fielding, will not accompany me!
…
At this moment, Fielding is sitting in the tent, the coach's seat is empty, he is sitting on the lower left next to the coach's seat, watching the shouting and scolding in the tent, and there are even a few hot-tempered guys, who have already lifted up their hands. Pulling out the knife from the sleeve, the stance is about to fight...
"enough!!"
Fielding suddenly roared!
His roar was full of anger! With a swipe, Fielding had already pulled out his knife, slashed the case in front of him with a savage slash, and jumped up!
He has always been an honest and calm person, but when an honest person gets angry, he is naturally quite powerful.
Fielding suddenly had such an attack, and the noisy tent suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at this cowardly guy strangely...
Fielding roared, shocking everyone, but it was only an instant thing, calm down, how could anyone really be afraid of him
"Fielding! What are you yelling about? Humph, you even drew a knife! Are you trying to pick your head? I'm not afraid of you!"
"Fielding, you really think of yourself as the head coach! If you want to issue orders here, wait until you become the patriarch!"
"Aha! How dare you show your knife! You have the guts to slash Lao Tzu! I'm standing here! If you frown, you're not a man of Odin!"
Fielding looked at the surrounding cold eyes and ridicules. After waiting for these people to finish speaking, he took a deep breath and said coldly: "I am Fielding of course not the patriarch! Do you think of yourself as the patriarch? Is it! Since Lord Manninger is not there, then the patriarch will naturally be replaced by the second son of the adult! It is not my turn to issue orders, and of course it is not your turn!"
No one dared to openly refute these two sentences.
The position of the patriarch should naturally be taken over by Manninger's son.
But... everyone is ambitious. At this moment, Manninger and Morka are both dead, and the pro-camp has been greatly weakened. The second son of Manninger who stayed in the country is still young and has no prestige! Now is the time for "doubts about the master and the country"! The elites of the Chixue Army are all here! If someone now controls the entire army in one fell swoop... Then the position of the patriarch, hum, is really hard to say!
It's just that although everyone has this kind of thought in their hearts, it's not easy to put this kind of thought on the table and say it openly. Therefore, Fielding said these few words, but no one was embarrassed to refute it openly, at most it was a cold snort.
"I know you don't want to go back to China." Fielding sneered: "I won't fight with you idiots anymore! If you want to be the commander-in-chief and fight for this command, it's up to you! I, Fielding, don't. Served!"
Originally, when he said "idiot", some people stared at him and wanted to get angry, but after hearing that, Fielding actually gave up the meaning of the fight, and suddenly there was no thought of getting angry.
Is this competition, if there is one less opponent, it is naturally a good thing.
Although everyone looked down on Fielding, after all, he still had five or six thousand elite relatives in his hands.
These people look at me, I look at you, and suddenly someone couldn't help but said, "Fielding, what do you want?"
"How is it?" Fielding said loudly: "You don't obey the patriarch's order, but I have to abide by it! You fight here, I will bring people back to China myself, and I will not participate in your competition."
Speaking of this, everyone's face is different.
Some people showed a bit of shame on their faces, some people were secretly relieved, and some people were puzzled...
But no one objected.
After all... He Fielding is also a powerful force. Since he has made it clear that he will not participate in the competition... If he goes, he will go! At least it's reassuring!
Seeing that no one was talking, Fielding took a deep breath: "I will take my relatives and guard the remains of the patriarch for burial along the way. I will ignore your disputes! But you are not allowed to control me! Otherwise, the disturbed The remains of the patriarch, even if I shed all my blood, I will still fight with that person!"
Having said this, Fielding stared and drank.
The others were silent for a while, and then someone said: "Okay! Fielding, we don't dare to disturb the rest of the patriarch! You bring someone back to China, we don't care about you, and you don't care about us!"
Fielding nodded, with a gloomy face: "I only have one request! If you meet me, I will take someone out in the afternoon! If you don't meet me... hum... Let's fight to death!"
With his words, the atmosphere became tense again, and someone immediately shouted: "Fielding, what are you! You dare to threaten me!!"
There are also those who are a little more flexible: "Fielding, tell me, what conditions do you want?"
"I want food!" Fielding said lightly: "I will take half of the food in the army! This time I am heading north to return to the country, I have to pass through Moore County along the way, and I have to escort the remains of the patriarch! Such a big event! , my pro-battalion soldiers, it's not good to walk on an empty stomach!"
Everyone was silent at this request.
Fielding said coldly: "I only took half of the food, you stay here, whether to continue to attack the new city, or go to other places to rectify the troops, it is your business! Syltan County is so big, you guys Naturally, there are other ways to collect food. With such a small amount of food, if I leave here, this transaction is cost-effective or not, you can decide for yourself!!"
After he finished speaking, Fielding held his head high, with the horizontal knife in his hand, he walked proudly outside the tent, walked to the door, but suddenly stopped, turned his head and said coldly: "I'll go back and gather my troops, the army I will carry the food and grass myself! If you have no objection, I will take the things and leave! If someone stops you, let's kill them with real swords! Courage is still there."
These words fell, loudly, and then left without looking back!
Fielding finally showed a somewhat decisive look, and when he returned, he immediately ordered to gather people, pack things, and send people to fetch food.
There was not much food left in the army, and he wanted to take half of it at once. He thought that there would be objections, but when it came to the end, it went smoothly, and no tribe came forward to stop it.
Fielding changed his mind a little and understood what these people meant.
As soon as it came, these guys were noisy and fierce, but no one dared to fight with him. After all, he still had the most powerful pro-battalion fighters in the five or six thousand troops. If they really fought each other, the outcome was hard to say! At this moment, everyone wants to compete for the position of leader, but the more this is the case, the more they dare not compromise their strength! Whoever really dares to fight with himself will naturally suffer greatly, and if he loses his strength, he will be the first to win!
Secondly... In the eyes of these idiots, it may be worthwhile to exchange "such a little" food for a strong competitor like him to take the initiative to be eliminated... These idiots, after two days, they will probably understand "so "Point" food, how precious is it!
Fielding moved very fast. In the afternoon, he had already gathered his people and brought food. The army of more than 5,000 people left the camp and headed north.
Manninger's body has been burned, and the remains are placed in a jar on the carriage he rode in the army.
The pro-camps are all elites of their own clan, they are most loyal to Manninger, and they have no doubts about the execution of the patriarch's will. After Manninger died, the whole army was ready to go north, which took two more waits. Day, has long been impatient to wait. So once Fielding made up his mind, in fact, the preparations were already made, and he left as soon as he said it.
Thousands of soldiers from their own tribe headed north, and Fielding sat in the army, and the marching speed was not slow.
It's just that the whole army went north, not far away, and it was stopped before it was dark!
The terrain of Syltan County is flat, and the new city is surrounded by plains. When the army is on the road, the surrounding is smooth, and there is no danger of ambush.
It was only before evening that I heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. From a distance, snow and dust were flying, and a cavalry rushed forward, coming from the left front, and then straight into the front of the team. , blocked the way to the north from a distance!
Thousands of Chixue troops were immediately ready to fight!
The number of the cavalry that came here is not too large. From a distance, there are hundreds of cavalrymen, and there will never be more than a thousand cavalry!
However, on the plains, there were no fortifications or obstacles, and the infantry against the cavalry, even if the enemy had only a few hundred cavalry, was enough to pose a threat to his own thousands of infantry.
The cavalry did not rush to attack, but just stopped in front, staring at the thousands of them from a distance...
Fielding led the troops away before they encountered a block for less than half a day, and he was suddenly shocked! I thought that the calculation of the patriarch is really good, these Byzantines really have a conspiracy!
He Fielding took a deep breath, and several thoughts came to his mind, but he turned to face the soldiers behind him, and shouted loudly: "There are enemy troops in front of you! I know that our road back to China this time will be difficult and dangerous! But everyone is deeply favored by the patriarch on weekdays! Now we have to protect the remains of the patriarch and return to the country, even if we kill the last person, we must not let the remains of the patriarch who are disturbed by the Byzantines!!"
This is wonderful to say!
The morale of the pro-battalion has actually been sluggish. If Fielding said anything else to boost morale at this moment, it would be of no use. The spirit is lifted! !
Manninger was the most favored by his own family during his lifetime, and he was the best equipped and most rewarded for the elites of his own clan! In addition to his historical prestige, in the hearts of these pro-battalion soldiers, this patriarch is like a god-like existence!
At this moment, the patriarch has a trace, and the military is disillusioned. If it is now to boost the morale of the battle, it is impossible.
However, the phrase "guarding the remains of the patriarch" stimulated the hearts of these Odin elites at once!
Immediately morale lifted! Some Odin warriors shouted loudly: "We will die if we die! If these dirty Byzantine sheep disturb the remains of the patriarch, even if they go back alive, they will have no face to see their family!"
"Odin man, how can these Byzantines be so insulted!!"
"Swear to death guard!!!!"
Seeing that his morale had improved, Fielding breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately ordered the army to be on guard in place, but he himself rode a deer proudly and marched slowly! !
He Fielding has never been known for his bravery, but at this moment he rode out alone, and the soldiers behind him looked at him with a little more respect.
After taking a few steps slowly, Fielding shouted loudly: "Your Ministry in front! Please come out and talk about it!"
The voice is full of energy, without the slightest fear!
※※※
This cavalry blocking the road was naturally under the command of Char.
Xia Ya looked at the thousands of Odin troops on the opposite side, and he was also puzzled. Watching the other party ride out slowly, and loudly asked him to go out to answer, he just smiled in his heart.
A few days ago, when I annihilated those Odin cavalry, I played such a trick, tricked the Odin cavalry leader to come forward, and then suddenly shot to kill, only to call the Odin crowd without a leader.
Could it be that the main general of the Odin army in front of him also wants to play such a hand
But, Mr. Xia, why was he afraid of these
With a proud smile, he slowly rode his horse out, and he left the group alone, and actually ran dozens of steps! It has even entered the range of the enemy's bow and arrow!
With a look of arrogance, Xia Ya proudly shouted in Odin language: "I am the commander! The Odin barbarian on the opposite side, ask me what to say! If you want to surrender, hurry up, don't waste time!"
Fielding looked at Xia Ya from a distance and took a deep breath: "May I ask your name?"
"Xia's thunder!"
Proud voice.
Fielding's heart moved! This name seems to be the commander-in-chief of the Byzantine Army... Could this person be...
Fielding pondered for a while, and shouted in a deep voice: "It turned out to be Your Excellency Xia Ya. I have something to say, Your Excellency dare to hear it!"
As he said that, he pointed to a direction far away from the road: "How dare you talk to me?!"
He Fielding himself walked slowly in that direction first.
Xia Ya was surprised, thinking, is this guy's brain broken? Or do you want to have a heads-up with yourself
He is not the kind of person who plays cards according to common sense. The first thought in his mind is, no matter what the hell you are doing, your own master will leave the team, and I will take the opportunity to cover up!
But if you look closely, the thousands of Odin troops on the opposite side are on guard, and their murderous aura is faintly rising to the sky! This kind of momentum made Xia Ya a little undecided.
These Odins still have such aura? ! This is strange.
How courageous is Xia Ya, she sneered and rode up.
The two main generals gathered on one side in the middle of the battlefield.
"Lord Xia Ya." Fielding looked at the young general in front of him. Seeing that Xia Ya's body was majestic and heroic, he sighed in his heart: he really looked like a hero.
Xia Ya's face was cold: "Your Excellency asked me to speak, do you want to issue a gauntlet, or do you want to fight in front of the battle?"
Fielding pondered for a while, but suddenly raised his hand and bowed to Xia Ya.
With this action, Xia Ya was stunned.
"I have heard your name, and I saw it today, and it is indeed a heroic man. I am Fielding, and I am the deputy of Lord Manninger, the Patriarch of the Basak. At this moment, all my relatives and horses are here to escort Manninger. The relics of your lord go north to return to the country! I dare to ask Lord Char to make way and allow us to escort the remains of the patriarch to return to the country! Although you and our army have different positions, I want to come here because of your heroic spirit, Lord Char. Even the remains of the opponent will be slaughtered! If Your Excellency is willing to give way, my Basak clan will definitely remember what happened today!"
These few words were already blatantly showing weakness, but after a few soft words, Fielding's face suddenly changed, becoming grim, and he gritted his teeth word by word: "If the adults are unwilling, you must even connect the remains of my patriarch. The bones are not spared, I personally have thousands of elites up and down, and I have received the kindness of the patriarch, and will definitely protect the bones of the patriarch, fighting to the death until the last person!"
Xia Ya was completely stunned! !
What he froze was not Fielding's "request" gesture, nor Fielding's showing of weakness.
Rather...
Manninger? ! He, he actually died? !
This old boy is actually dead? !
This news made Xia Ya's heart hit like a hammer, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant! !
His immediate first reaction was: Could this be Manninger's conspiracy? To earn your own set
But upon closer inspection, Fielding in front of him had a grim expression, but a trace of sadness in his eyebrows could not be hidden.
In the distance, the thousands of Odin's army were on guard, and in addition to the murderous aura, there was also a faint smell of sadness...
If a person may have a high acting ability, he can hide himself.
But the pathetic temperament of these thousands of people cannot be faked.
Manninger... really... dead? ? !
"… "
…
Before the formation of the two armies, the two main generals gathered in everything and chatted in low voices. The distance was so far away that the soldiers on both sides could not hear the content of the conversation between the two.
I saw that after Xi Ya and Fielding talked for a while, they suddenly got up on their mounts and stretched out their hands to pat each other.
Fielding coldly pulled out the knife, pierced his palm, and slapped it on his chest, while Xia cut his thumb and smeared a bloodstain on his forehead.
This is clearly the oath of Odin and Byzantines in their different customs!
I don't know what kind of strange covenant the two main generals on both sides of the enemy made.
Both Xia Ya and Fielding turned around and returned to their team, but here in Xia Ya, the cavalry suddenly whistled and slowly walked towards the side of the road, ran away, and made way for the road. It is to take the initiative to retreat to a position beyond an arrow!
Here in Fielding, the army marched slowly, heading north on the main road, and the guards were thick along the way.
Xia Ya's order made the elite cavalry around him puzzled.
The cavalry of the whole army stopped on the side of the road and did not move, but someone couldn't help but say: "Sir... we..."
However, Xiaya suddenly smiled: "Good news, Manninger is dead."
As soon as these words were said, everyone's color changed, and then hundreds of riders were all excited.
Xia pointed to the Odins who were far away on the road: "Manninger's remains are in this army at this moment, and they escorted Manninger's remains north to return home... Hey!"
"My lord! Why don't you take advantage of the situation! They are leaderless, let's eat this Odin army in one go..."
"Yes! Although there are many of them, they are all infantry! A few days ago, thousands of cavalry were washed away by us! Not to mention these thousands of infantry!"
"Sir!! You take us to rush to kill!!"
The people around were excited and excited, but Xia Ya turned her head with a solemn expression: "Shut up."
Xiaya frowned, pointed to the distance, and said coldly; "Although there are only a few thousand of them, you should look carefully! The guards are terrifying, the entire army is silent, and no one changes, you see the eyes of these Odin people, where is there a half point? Panic? Indifference and hatred, and even more murderous!! These guys are different from the Odins we met before! They are all determined to die, and they have the will to die! Desperately fighting against such an opponent... wasting their strength in vain, Unwise!"
In fact, doesn't Xiaya want to eat these thousands of people
Of course he wanted to!
He is not so kind, and he really wants to let Manninger's remains go back to China! What kind of hero is the hero, the idea of sympathizing with each other, the earth turtle has no such thoughts at this moment! In his mind, the aggressor is the aggressor! Blood for blood and tooth for tooth is the right thing to do!
But he is not reckless after all!
If it really fights, he also has the confidence to defeat this Odin army! But the opponent's morale is so amazing... It is conceivable that the beasts are trapped and worried, and the opponent has the determination to die and fights... Such an enemy will definitely explode with astonishing combat power!
Even if I win, I am afraid that the damage will not be too little!
At this moment, I know that Manninger is dead! Where is Xiaya willing to waste his strength here? !
What's more, the content of the conversation between Fielding and himself just now...
Ha ha! interesting! Interesting! ! As soon as Manninger died, the Chi Xuejun seemed to be in an infighting!
Ha ha ha ha! it is good! Very good! !
Although Fielding didn't say it clearly, there were a few hints in his words, but Xiaya understood it!
Xiaya didn't doubt the truth of Fielding's words, he believed it!
Because the reason Fielding implied is clear!
He Fielding returned to the country with these pro-battalion troops of his own family and supported the young master to inherit the position of the patriarch! And the Red Snow Army has already betrayed! Those guys who didn't obey the patriarch's last orders had ambitions. To the Basak tribe, these people were traitors!
Since they were traitors, Fielding simply abandoned them! In Fielding's meaning: these people, staying here is a dead end! Died in the hands of Xia Ya, firstly, it can be regarded as clearing the rebellion for the tribe, and secondly, it is also attracting Xia Ya's troops, so that he can pass the border calmly.
Everyone, you can think about it.
Even, to go deeper, after seeing the faces of the leaders of each battalion, Fielding was reluctant to bring these people back to China!
All of these people have already exposed their ambitions. After returning to the country and returning to the tribe, they have soldiers and bravery in their hands, but at this moment, the elite of the tribe has suffered a lot of damage, and the young master is also young... Maybe it is dangerous!
It's good that these guys are all dead outside!
The two of them made a blood oath just now, that is, they agreed that Fielding would tell the whole story of the current situation in the Chixue Army, and Xia Ya promised that he would never stop the thousands of people from Fielding heading north to return home!
Even Xiaya said that he can send a small team of cavalry to escort him along the road, and even if he reaches the territory of More County, he can ensure that there are no defenders to stop them and let them pass through safely.
In the current situation, instead of risking the loss of troops and fighting the Chixue Army's own elites, it is better to save the strength to eat the Chixue Army's brigade!
The bigger picture matters! There are thousands of people in this district, it really doesn't matter if they eat it or not.
It's not that Xia Ya doesn't have other thoughts, it's just that the troops in his hands are really insufficient.
If he also has thousands of elite soldiers in his hand, why would he waste time and make a blood oath with this Fielding, and go up and destroy the other party directly!
But now... Xia, after all, has no enough troops at all!
To be able to get the situation to the current situation this time, it has been a series of risks, and I have tried my best!
Looking at the Odin team heading north from afar, Char sighed softly.
"A soldier should not be humiliated... Forget it!"
