Chapter 161: Marshal Higg
"General Korincha, how about it, it's enough for your 30,000 army!" Higg laughed, "This kind of sleigh cart, people can sleep and rest on it, you don't do the army during the day, let the livestock rest!" I've even counted the damage on your way and the loss of livestock, and if you can't take the Ovara Fortress and the Giskol Fortress, it will be a real shame!" ”
Colin Cha laughed: "This must be the young lady's idea, haha!" ”
"Nonsense!" Higg smiled, "When I was making skis, I asked my wife if I could pull skis with animals, but I didn't expect my wife to really come up with it, haha!" The idea was mine, but the sleigh was the Madame's idea! General Korincha, it's a pleasure for you to grab supplies at the front, but do you know how difficult it is for me to collect cattle for you in the rear? I've only collected 15,000 horses now! ”
"Only fifteen thousand? Only three horses per car? Daniel said hurriedly.
Laughing and not speaking, Higg led the sleigh into a meadow, a huge meadow full of reindeer. Lan Xian'er ordered someone to bring five reindeer, and untied the five war horses, and replaced them with five reindeer, Xige handed the whip used to drive the car to Kolincha, and said with a smile: "General Kolincha, are you interested in trying?" ”
Korincha took the whip in disbelief, and whipped it on the hind buttocks of the reindeer, driving the reindeer away, and the sleigh started slowly, and faster and faster, and the five reindeer, which were not as strong as the horses, were pulling the sleigh at the same speed.
"Reindeer are a specialty of the transitional mountainous areas between the New Ze Mountains and the Luojia Plain, and herders migrate them to the Luojia River Plain in winter. Don't look at the reindeer are much smaller, but sledding is better than horses, especially not afraid of the cold and has good endurance. It's a pity that there are only 10,000 reindeer that can be used, otherwise, I will use the reindeer to pull for you, haha! ”
"Young marshal, young lady!" Colin Cha said proudly, "Since you have given me this great gift, I will definitely return to the two fortresses of the young marshal and his wife in three days." ”
"Such a fun sleigh, General Korincha, do you want to take me there?" Daniel smiled, "I was deceived so badly by the couple of them, I don't want to be with them anymore, you and I, one fortress per person!" ”
"Capturing the fortress is only the first step!" "I'll lead a large army to reinforce you after the officers' meeting, and you'll need to hold on to the fortress for at least ten days!" ”
"Ten days? So long? Daniel said, "Haven't you had enough of your honeymoon with Blue Fairy?" ”
Higg smiled: "I still need some time to wipe the butts of these bastards and appease the people of Luojia Plain, otherwise, it will not be conducive to our long-term stationing here!" ”
Korincha stopped his sled and said, "Don't worry, young marshal, I'm in charge of the Ovara fortress in the west, and General Daniel is in charge of the less stressful Giscol fortress, and there will be absolutely no problem for ten days!" ”
……
Korincha and Daniel spent the whole afternoon having the sled installed, which was not completed until the evening. An army of 30,000 people, a cart for every six people, plus a coachman for a total of seven, each hung a white shawl, and the soldiers who got on the car were wrapped in thick white quilts, and quietly marched south in the cold winter night!
Hig and Blue Fairy didn't have to worry about the semi-mechanized army sneaking up on the two fortresses at all, and what he had to focus on now was how to gain a foothold in the Luojia River Plain. Although he has the experience of building Fuxing City, and even the experience of building the Silent Forest Base Camp, it is all established on a blank piece of paper, and Fuxing City has a group of cronies, and the Silent Forest has Benjamin and Pantony who are jungle experts, and now, these officers under him are good at fighting and looting, and their governance ability is not reassuring at all.
"My dear, if you don't worry, I'll help you straighten out the Luojia River Plain!" Lan Xian'er looked at Xige's worried look and smiled, "But you have to listen to me for everything!" ”
"You? yes, how did I forget about Madame! Xige picked up Lan Xian'er and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you everything!" But now you've got to listen to me first, we're tired for days, and we've got to get some sleep! ”
After Higg finished speaking, he directly sealed Lan Xian'er's mouth with his mouth, regardless of Lan Xian'er's struggle, and slowly moved to the side of the bed......
Although Higg's military order was to hold a meeting of officers two days after the snow, Higg turned a blind eye and relaxed the time limit, because the snow was so heavy that if too many officers did not arrive on time, it would be difficult for him to deal with it. On the afternoon of the second day after Korincha's departure, Higg, who had been given an extra half day, convened a meeting of officers of generals and commanders who had no military assignments.
"I know you've been busy grabbing things these days!" Higg said, "I know more that now you have no intention of going east, and even if you do, with your current state, how many people will be able to cross the Nogar Wasteland alive?" ”
"General Higg!" An officer stood up and said, "Why can't we stay in the Roga River Plain?" ”
"Luojia River Plain?" Higg scoffed, "Can we hold on?" How many days is Aradd's coalition forces from the Rhodya River Plain? You are all generals who have been marching and fighting for many years, you don't know? ”
"We'd rather hold on to Fortress Ovara and Fortress Giscol than go east!" Another officer said.
"Defend two fortresses?" Higg said angrily, "Now that these two fortresses are still in the hands of Arad, why are you talking about holding on? Since you are not willing to go east, what are you and your subordinates doing, do you still have military discipline, and do you still look like an army? I want to use this place as a base, but I have been looting here for so many days, completely ignoring the livelihood of the people here, ignoring the pressure of the enemy's soldiers, and in the face of life and death, I don't see that you have any intention of staying! ”
"General Higg, what the hell do you think? Do you want to stay or cross the Nogar Wasteland? ”
"I want to stay too! But seeing you, I don't see any hope that we will stay! "I really didn't expect that not long after Marshal Montgossar left, the Fifth Army would be scattered like this!" It's okay to say when you get through this together, but in the face of temptation, your true nature is all exposed! I know that I am only in charge of this army, and you will never use me as a true commander, what you need is for me to get you out of danger and wait for the arrival of the newly appointed Marshal of the Fifth Army! ”
Seeing that the officers did not speak, Higg paused, and then said: "This shows that you have never regarded the Fifth Legion as your home, and have not thought of taking your destiny into your own hands, you are ashamed of the painstaking efforts of Marshal Montgosa, and the honor and dignity that the Fifth Legion has long exchanged for blood!" ”
Seeing that the officers were all bowing their heads in shame, Higg continued: "The fate of the Fifth Legion is all in your hands. If you want to walk and cross the nearly 700-kilometer Nogar Wasteland, I would like to ask you, do you still have the courage to do so? I want to stay, now the military discipline is sloppy, the team is completely cohesive, the soldiers are pressing, and the Luojiahe Plain is so organized by you that a popular mutiny will break out at any time, I want to ask you, why can you stay! ”
There was silence at the meeting, and everyone was silent. What Higg said is indeed the truth, and they can't refute it, but everyone knows very well in their hearts that since they want to stay, they must do something and not do something.
"General Higg!" An officer plucked up the courage to stand up and said, "What the general says, we will all listen to you!" ”
Higg's sharp eyes swept at the others who bowed their heads and were silent, and then said, "What else can I do about an army that has lost its cohesion and the courage to fight?" Is the Fifth Legion on my own? If I alone can kill the army and pacify the people, then what is the use of the generals here? ”
"General Higg! We are at the mercy of the general, but now I ask General Higg to let us first take the blame for the crime, take the fortress of Owala and the fortress of Giscol, and wait until the army is killed, and it is up to the general to kill or chop it off! The other officer stood up and said.
"I'm willing to let the general deal with it!"
"We are all willing to make meritorious contributions!"
……
Higg grinned and said: "In the end, you still think that the law is not responsible for the public, but fortunately, the generals are still sensible, and we can only tide over the difficulties together if we are in the same boat!" It's just that I'm worried that even if we hold the Luojia River Plain, what can we do? Your sergeants are as rebellious and do whatever they want, so what can I do with you? After all, I'm just a general in charge of military power, you know it! ”
"General Higg!" An officer stood up and said, "Whether we can defend the Luojia River Plain or not, we will all take General Higg's horse as the leader, and if anyone violates General Higg's military discipline again, and then violates the yang and yin, we will definitely not agree!" ”
After a moment's hesitation, all the officers stood up and said, "We are willing to take General Higg at the forefront!" ”
Higg finally showed a real smile, he knew that only now, he really controlled this army, and mastered the capital to deal with Arad, "This Warrior Order, which was originally the old commander of the Fifth Legion, that is, the commander of my father's command of a million-strong army, from today until the end of the Alasia Civil War, this Warrior Order, will become the only commander!" If anyone dares to disobey this token, there will be no mercy! ”
"See Marshal Higg!"
"See Marshal Higg!"
……
Higg pointed to the map and said: "My 30,000 direct troops have been handed over to General Daniel, and the 30,000 vanguard army of General Kolincha has also rushed to the fortress of Owala and the fortress of Giscol, and it is estimated that this fortress will be fully controlled tomorrow!" ”
All the officers were shocked at first, and then finally breathed a sigh of relief, if the fortress could be successfully captured, at least the initiative was still in the hands of the Fifth Legion!
Higg continued: "I will give you three days to go back and put your army in order, and all the great armies must arrive here in the evening of the fifth day to assemble, and then I will personally lead the army to the two fortresses to reinforce General Korincha and General Daniel!" If you don't get back here on time on the evening of the fifth day, chop! ”
"Plus!" Higg paused, then said, "Someone needs to pay for the sins you have done!" I have already left this matter to my wife to do, but I need you to propose ten soldiers to me under each commander, and I need to give an explanation to the people of the Luojia River Plain. I will no longer hold others accountable, but I will not make an example! ”
"Yes!" All the officers finally breathed a sigh of relief, these ten days of looting were completely out of control, and there were so many soldiers who committed the most heinous crimes, and now as long as each commander submitted ten soldiers to confess the punishment, it was simply a great favor.
