Chapter 1169 Kneel down and talk

"This Mox, sure enough, is hiding his back hand."

After listening to the herald's report, Kirkbo looked at Xiurens: "But what is even more terrifying is that you and I, the commander of the Han people, both know that Mox must have a backhand, because His Majesty wants to target you and me." But the commander of the Han people didn't know anything, but he dared to use all his cavalry to suddenly attack Mox, so that he forced Mox's team back for dozens of miles overnight, and Mox's men were crushed and then "

"Then the centaurs who Mox hid unknowingly could no longer hide themselves and ran out to rescue."

Xiurens couldn't help but laugh: "If nothing else, the back hand that Mox is hiding must be led by his waste brother Bo Minglang." That little guy only knows how to seduce women, and he's an idiot on the battlefield. He must have seen the defeat of Mox, and he could no longer hold his breath. ”

"Presumably, Mox also regrets it now, why did he leave such an important matter to Bo Minglang to do."

Kirkbo's expression also relaxed a lot: "Now, it seems that the initiative is returning to our side little by little." Mox was defeated, and the team was four or five out of ten, even if Bo Minglang came with reinforcements, it would not be a matter of time or a half for him to regroup. ”

"It's not me who loses the first time now."

Thurence was obviously more pleasing than Kirkbo: "When Your Majesty heard the news, I don't know how I would feel. ”

Kirkbo said: "You should go and thank the Han people. ”

Xiurens nodded: "Yes, I should go and thank the Han people, so I decided to continue the attack today, not only to attack, but also to do my best." ”

Kirkbo immediately understood what Thurence meant, and had to have some admiration for this old guy who had been an opponent with him for half his life on the surface. Thurence had not lost the keen sense of smell that a battlefield leader should have, and knew what was most important right now.

The Han people are tempting to force out all their strength.

Now that the Han Chinese have succeeded, the next step should be a counteroffensive against Shurens. Thurence was well aware of this, so he didn't intend to give the Han a chance. The best way to deal with an attack is to attack more strongly than the opponent.

"But"

Xiurens said with some regret: "There are some problems with the supply of the team, I could have been able to get the replenishment of ammunition and equipment from Muping City, but I don't know what happened to that Yang Shun, I haven't received supplies from Muping City for more than a few months." If there are no more supplies after this battle, my team will have to face a situation where there are no guns and no bullets. ”

"Alas"

Kirkbo sighed, because he knew what was going on.

"I haven't had time to tell you yet, before I came, His Majesty transferred Yang Shunhui's men and horses to attack Phoenix Terrace, but that guy was assassinated halfway through. In fact, the purpose of doing so, Majesty xià is two. The first is to force Yang Shun to truly become an obedient hound, and only when he leads the army to attack the Han people, he really has no way back. Second, it's because it's Prince Philip who is taking over Muping City now. ”

Hearing this name, Thurence's face immediately changed.

Philip

Lyman's own brother.

That cold-blooded name has spread all over the other side of the ocean.

"It seems that His Majesty really wants to kill me."

Xiurens sneered with some anger: "He let Philip go to Muping City, just to cut off my supplies." Your Majesty, how much do you want me to be defeated? ”

"He wants to weaken your entire family even more."

"Why!"

Thurence became more and more angry: "I know that there are many benefits that I have taken from His Majesty, if it is only because of this, he does not need to be so ruthless. It is enough for me to die alone, why should I be buried with 250,000 elite soldiers? Aren't these soldiers of the Opru Empire? ”

"I have to warn you."

Kirkbo sighed, "I thought that someone as smart as you would have guessed why it suddenly became like this. I also reminded you during the conversation that day, because Your Majesty was in a hurry to go back to stabilize the empire, you were too anxious, so you ignored the root of the matter. ”

Kirkbo said: "You just want to maintain your position, your family's status. However, not everyone can know the same sense of proportion as you do, and know what you can and can't touch. ”

Thurence's body stiffened suddenly, and his expression froze on his face.

He understood, and instantly understood Kirkbo's words.

Seeing his reaction, Kirkbo knew that he had understood: "Your Majesty is actually very kind and generous, and there has never been a case in the history of the empire where a family has owned two principalities. It is precisely because of your military exploits that Your Majesty ordered that your original fiefdom be given to your son, and that the Principality of Rus be given to you, and that some people will lose their cool in the face of such glory. ”

"This idiot!"

Thurence finally collapsed.

He was now completely cleared of why Lyman was doing such a desperate job.

It must have been his uncompetitive son who did something excessive after returning to China, so much so that Lehmann felt threatened. Therefore, Lyman had to do everything possible to end the current war in the eastern frontier and rush back to the empire. And in order to eradicate future troubles, Lyman had to dispose of Thurence before going back to deal with his son.

Because Thurence has 250,000 elites in his hands, this is an even greater threat to Lyman.

"Your Majesty should know that I can sacrifice my son for the sake of the family."

Thurence said bitterly.

Kirkbo said: "His Majesty knows that you can sacrifice your son, but he still won't choose to trust you. ”

He pointed at Cerence: "If it were you, would you believe it?" ”

In the afternoon, the tide of battle changed again.

What neither Thurence nor Kirkbo expected was that the Black Flag Army would actually attack them! I thought that after testing the bottom line of Mox, the Black Flag Army would choose relatively conservative tactics, but when the Black Morning Glory Army began to attack, it was found that the Black Flag Army had a more positive attitude.

Every time the Black Morning Glory Army attacks, there will be a counteroffensive.

"What do the Han people want to do?"

Thurence had to go to the front line to observe and command, he held up his clairvoyance to look at the battlefield in the distance, and the elite light cavalry of the Han people cut back and forth in the chaotic battle like countless throwing knives. There is no doubt that the commander of this Han Chinese was well aware of what the advantages of the Black Flag Army were.

Every time the cavalry attacked, it was able to disrupt the attack of the Black Morning Glory Army.

Then the infantry of the Han Chinese would organize a counteroffensive. The giant shield man was in front, blocking the bullets. Behind them, countless archers pressed forward in a neat manner, relying on the terrifyingly dense arrow array to counter-suppress the Black Morning Glory army. In this era, the design distance of firearms is actually almost the same as that of bows and arrows, and the effective killing distance, firearms are far inferior to bows and arrows!

The lag of the bow and arrow lies in the speed and accuracy of the shot, while the direct effective killing distance of a firearm is much shorter than that of the bow and arrow. Feathered arrows can kill enemies at a distance of 200 paces, while musket bullets can never kill a soldier at a distance of 200 paces.

"The cavalry interspersed to disrupt our formation, and then the archers pressed in formation."

Thurence put down his clairvoyance and had to admire the combat effectiveness of the Black Flag Army.

"It's an awe-inspiring army."

The previous advantage was based on the suppression of the artillery. But now that the supplies can't keep up, Thurence no longer dares to fire cannonballs with impunity.

"Send someone, I want to talk to the commander of the Black Flag Army."

He said.

Kirkbo, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but change his face, and said a little angrily: "You will affect me!" ”

"I know."

Xiurens nodded: "If His Majesty knew that I had begun to contact the leader of the Black Flag Army, he would definitely give an order immediately without hesitation to let his army in the country eradicate my family." And you, too, have lost the last chance to survive, even if Your Majesty does not target your family, you will be executed. ”

"What the hell are you thinking!"

Kirkborough Road.

"I wonder if I can live my own life. What you reminded me of made me despair, and then I found a glimmer of hope in despair. Now it is certain that no matter what I do, my son, my family, I can't save it, so I have to save my own life. If I'm lucky, maybe I can do it? ”

Thurence looked at Kirkbo, "Actually, you can also consider that after I leave safely, I need a friend who will sit under the tree and play chess with me at dusk." His Majesty will not target your family, and he will not dare to destroy two important families in one go. Kill my black petunia for deterrence. Kill two, and he'll be counterattacked. So, your sorrow is only yourself, and my sorrow is the whole family. As long as you don't appear in the center of power, whether you die or escape, it actually means the same to Your Majesty. “

Kirkbo was clearly moved by what he said.

"If my previous onslaught was the last struggle, now I've changed my mind. ”

He turned around and ordered: "Order, stop all attacks." Send someone with a guide to meet the Han guards in the Malan Mountain Pass, tell him that I will not attack, if it is convenient for him, I ask him to send someone to ask Fang Jie, the commander of the Black Flag Army, and I am willing to meet with Fang Jie. ”

After giving the order, Thurence turned and left.

"Kirkbo, if I'm not mistaken, His Majesty must have other arrangements, such as recruiting a large number of soldiers in the Duchy of Thurence?"

Thurence asked as he walked.

Kirkbo nodded.

"The Han people have a saying, which means that you must have heard this sentence when you cut the grass and eradicate the roots."

Thurence smiled, his expression complicated

"General, what we Grand Duke Thurence mean is that war is a knife that hurts the world, and both he and you hold the hilt of the knife in their hands, and if you calm down, the damage will stop."

A Han Chinese translated the words of Thurence's subordinates, and his attitude towards the foreigners was very flattering: "Grand Duke Thurence said that as long as the general invites the commander of your Black Flag Army, the one named Fang or something, everyone sits down and talks, and he can stop the attack." ”

After saying that, he also raised an eyebrow.

Chen Dingnan's answer was very clear, and he kicked the translator out with one kick. The interpreter died before he could hit the ground, and there was not a single bone left in his chest, all shattered. A broken rib happened to pierce his heart, so he died a crisp death.

He didn't even look at the corpse, pointed to the outside, and said to the foreigner, "I don't kill you because you are a messenger, and I killed him because he is a miscellaneous man." I don't need or want to see Han Chinese nodding their heads and translating foreign into Chinese for a piece of gold coin, which is not the same thing as translating the words of a Chinese to a foreigner on the battlefield. ”

One of Andrew's men translated his words to a man sent by Thurence, who seemed to understand something, but he knew that the Han general on the other side was dangerous.

"You've lost the chance to sit down and talk."

Chen Dingnan said: "There may be an opportunity to kneel down and talk in the future." ”
