"How's it going, my gentlemen?"
Hearing such a question, the three gentlemen who were watching the battle from the sidelines of the battlefield turned their heads in unison, and what they saw was, of course, the young Queen of France. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info she changed into a dark hunting outfit to bring out the slender girl's figure vividly, and the same dress could make Her Majesty straddle the horse and be as agile as any light cavalry.
"Back to Your Majesty, just now Admiral Lanfonte used a beautiful tactic to repel the flank assault of the First Legion." His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief replied respectfully.
"Indeed, what a perfect counterattack!" Xiao added this sentence on the side.
Margaret smiled when she heard this, turned her head and said to the prime minister, who had just stopped his horse behind, "Thorgrande, you are not bad, Gina really left a hand behind. β
Thorgrande smiled as a sign of humility, and his old subordinates were now in the same mood as they always enjoyed the expression on the face of the commander of the Eighth Legion.
At the same time, Oyifi gave the order to stop the attack, and for the time being, he saw little chance of breaking through the opponent's defense. Instead of drying up there, it is better to let the soldiers rest first, and make up for their lunch by the way. After all, it's just a drill, and there's no need to make everyone miserable. On the other hand, the morning's situation strengthened Oiffi's determination to use the trump card that Sogrand had specifically allowed him to use.
"It is up to man to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen." This statement is not entirely unreasonable.
While his comrades were distressed by the opponents of the exercise, the commander of the 3rd Division, General Karl Heinz Speighter, had not yet experienced this. To be precise, he was still in an inexplicable situation. Three hours earlier, they had suddenly received a notice from the heralds that they were to immediately rush to the exercise site to participate in the exercise. This made Spease feel very surprised, didn't he say that only the 1st and 2nd divisions of the First Army participated in the exercise? Despite his doubts, he acted on the orders signed by Oyifi.
Faced with the same sudden exercise, the junior officers and soldiers of the 3rd Division were very excited, and for them to belong to the same regiment but not let them participate in the exercise, it would make people feel that others looked down on them. Although Oyifi also sent people to do some reassurance work for them, such as "Actually, you are the trump card of the First Legion, and you don't need to deal with the Thirteenth Legion", but unfortunately the wisdom of the masses cannot be underestimated, and basically no one believed these words at first.
And now Oyifei sent someone to repeat the above words to everyone basically unchanged, and as a result, almost all of them expressed the meaning of "the commander of the regiment is honest and does not deceive me". This made Spart wipe a cold sweat and think: these guys are too simple.
Because the 3rd Division had not been mentally prepared for this exercise before, they were now marching with the mentality of doing this field, and no one from top to small thought that they should be in a state of combat readiness at present. Naturally, then, almost none of the commanders thought of sending out scouts in the middle of the march to the site of the exercise, according to the rules of wartime.
Because of this situation, it is only natural that they were discovered by their opponents first.
"Officer Landier, did you see it, a whole division." Xiuyunston said.
"I see, it's the 3rd Division, don't these guys honestly stay in the camp and run out in droves?"
"I don't think so, you see, they all have the same set of guys we used in the exercise, and in this direction, they should be going to the battlefield." Huvenston said, pointing to the 3rd Division, which was marching on the road.
"Do you mean...... The 3rd Division is also going to take part in this exercise? β
"I didn't hear they were coming, didn't the First Army only send out 2 divisions in order to balance the numbers?"
"So, is it the First Army that lost in a hurry and adopted foul tactics?" Haas interjected into the conversation.
"How is it possible, how can Admiral Santro be ...... without orders from above" After all, March had also spent some time in the First Legion, and he still knew a little about his former boss.
"In other words, this is what the top means?" Huyunston made a bold guess.
"How so? Anyway, our legion leader is also the fiancΓ©e of Lord Leus, how can there be any reason to help others bully their fiancΓ©e? Haas's opinion clearly represents the thoughts of this ordinary man.
"That's it, ordinary people wouldn't do this...... "Xiu Yunston responded very confidently.
"Well, is Lord Luce an ordinary person?" March asked.
"If he is also an ordinary person, the cafeteria lady of the academy can also be regarded as a beauty." Haas blurted out almost without thinking.
"Captain Ingrid!" March began to give orders.
"The lower official is here."
"Set off at once, and report to the corps commander that the 3rd Division is approaching our troops."
"I see." After giving a military salute, Shoyunston mounted his horse and galloped away.
"The rest of the people listened, originally we as a special team were trying to find a way to hit the opponent, but now that this opportunity is in front of us, we naturally can't let it go. Although our numbers are probably less than one-sixth of each other's, we still have the confidence to give them some color. Everybody get on the horse! β
Chinna's assignment to March actually included half a 30th division of hussars, that is, 3 squadrons, plus March's original subordinates, for a total of 1,600 men. Unfortunately, Oiffi didn't know about this, otherwise Chenna's flanks would have been hit even harder until all her cavalry had been consumed.
"Are the squadrons ready?" March asked. This is the first time he has commanded such a large army, and two years ago, March Landil was just an ordinary border soldier, not even included in the establishment of the Eight Legions. Now, he has the opportunity to become a first-life officer, commanding more than 1,000 troops.
"The whole army is assaulting, targeting the opponent's own formation, and finding a way to defeat their main general, understand?"
"Yes!"
When General Speighter was informed by his subordinates that there was an opposing force, the three squadrons of the 30th Division shouted loudly and rushed over a fallow flat mud field to his own position. The 3rd Division did not react at all from top to bottom, and it was not until the other side was only 30 fats away from them that the non-commissioned officers and lieutenants seemed to remember that they had begun to participate in the exercise, and shouted orders for the soldiers to set up defensive formations.
"Captain Haas, now is the time to show your valor, target the opposing divisional commander!" March said this to Haas, obviously this is not what March has any special expectations for this junior officer, and he is completely counting on using Haas's brute force to cause as much trouble as possible for the other party.
"Okay, sir, it's up to me!" However, the person concerned seems to take it seriously.
One of the big problems with the internal exercises is that almost everyone knows the senior commanders. Although General Spett and Haas and the others probably only had a few face-to-face encounters on graduation hunts, the young people were not yet old enough to have memory loss, and they could easily recognize the people they had seen a month or two earlier. And for someone like Haas, who doesn't get his eyes too tired from reading, it's a breeze to see a person's face at a distance of 20 fats.
"Look, that person is their division commander!" Haas rushed to the front, not forgetting to point the way to his wingmen behind.
General Spart saw a group of menacing hussars rushing in his direction, and as the fastest man in the army, of course knew what they wanted to do, so he drew his "saber" and beckoned his men to protect himself.
The men of the 3rd Division reacted quickly and immediately gathered around the division commander, but the rescue of the others was too slow. Haas led the men to rush the makeshift line formed by Speight's own staff, and Speight, his staff, and his guards fought hard to resist the opponent's attack. Soon they couldn't resist it, though, and when Spart saw that the situation was not right, he turned his horse and tried to run in the direction of his own team's rearguard.
March didn't expect Haas to create any conditions for himself, but just hoped that after messing up the opponent's formation, he would rush through a pair to slow down the opponent's march and hit the opponent's morale. However, the situation in front of him emboldened him, and he abandoned his more conservative plan, separated the three squadrons, and launched a surprise attack on the three obvious joints of the opposing team.
Due to March's impromptu adventurous actions, it almost dealt a fatal blow to the 3rd Division. Spett had already gotten rid of the entanglement of Haas's gang, but was blocked by the other party halfway through the evasion.
"It's terrible." Thinking so, Spart had to look for a way to escape again.
"General, please forgive me for the offense!" Haas had already shouted an insincere apology after him, and Spart knew the subtext clearly: "Just stay there and cut it for me." β
"Soldiers, stop these people for me." Spett asked for help from the nearby infantry, and his men were willing to help him, but on the one hand, they were in trouble themselves, and on the other hand, they could not keep up with the speed of the cavalry.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Haas swung the stick and knocked away several men who tried to stop him, and rushed straight at Speight.
Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Spart had no choice but to pick up his stick and meet the young officer, who had no idea what he was afraid of. While Haas certainly had more courage than anyone in the room, Spease was experienced. Haas, after a few rounds of fighting him, not only did he not take advantage of the slightest advantage, but he was also on the back foot.
"Retreat, retreat!" March had people start spreading orders to retreat, they had penetrated the opposing formation, but they had not killed the opponent's main commander until now. If the entanglement continues, it is obvious that the side with a numerical disadvantage will suffer.
Haas, of course, heard the order, but it would take him a little more time to get out of his current predicament.
"Uncle, you're too powerful, let's fight again next time." Haas said, and after slamming the other man down, he turned his horse away.
"Uncle!? I'm not 35 yet, boy! "Spease was about to take down this rookie officer, but the other party didn't give him this opportunity.
"Master of the Division." The only hussar regiment of the 3rd Division had driven out the opposing hussars and rallied to the side of their current supreme commander.
"We can't just let them go," Spease straightened his messed hair, "order the other regiments to defend in place, put together and pacify the troops, and we'll catch up with those little bunnies, there's nothing so cheap in the world." β
"Understood, Commander of the Division."
On the other hand, the hussars of the 13th Legion, which were already preparing to flee, were packing up their ranks.
"Haas, what are you grinding with, we don't have time to wait for you." March said as he saw Haas running back.
"Ah, I competed with their division commander, and the other party is a powerful master."
"Okay, there's no time to count the casualties, let's go quickly, the other party doesn't seem to be willing to give up." March had already seen the hussars of the opposing side.
"What do you say? The 3rd Division is moving in our direction? China asked.
Xiuyunston was busy drinking water, and could only quickly nod his head to reaffirm the information he had sent.
When Qinna heard the news, she could only hold her forehead and worry about it there.
"Legionnaire?" After Shuyunston put down the kettle, he asked tentatively.
"Didn't Officer Randil tell you what he was going to do?" Cena ended her brief reflection.
"He didn't specify."
"I hope he can make a decisive decision, Captain Inglett, you go down and rest first."
"Don't you need to go back and deliver your orders?"
"No need." China waved her hand and motioned for the other to leave.
At this time, Oyifi did not relax his offensive against Qina in the slightest, and there was a great deal of turning this exercise into a war of attrition. China was still wondering why the First Legion was making such an unwise move, but now it seems that the other party has been prepared for a long time, and a fool who does not take advantage of the advantage of his strength cannot become the commander of the First Legion.
After leaving the Chinese army's main camp, Xiuyunston met Kreyit, who was already on the "death list", and the latter was able to wander around leisurely because he "died" early.
"Ah, Inglet, didn't you go with Haas to fight this passive team? How did you come back again? Are you also 'hanging' like me? Kreyot's voice sounded a little bit of schadenfreude.
"According to the rules of the exercise, I can't talk to 'dead people'." Xiuyunston shot back unceremoniously.
"Oh, shit," Kreitt was a little annoyed, "I've fought them anyway, it's better than just hiding behind someone else for the whole exercise." β
"Alright, alright, don't I do it?" Seeing this, Xiu Yunston had no choice but to start coaxing, "I'll reveal it to you, anyway, you are a 'dead man', and you can't leak it out." β
Listening to the inside information, Kreyit instantly felt that it would be good to be a 'dead man' for a while.
"Here's the thing......"
"So, General Spease is really wronged this time?" Margaret said this after Sogre had read to her the latest report on the state of the exercise.
"Accidents happen on the battlefield at all times, my majesty." Saugland said as he passed the parchment to the others.
Huo Lin took the report first, and after reading it, he also had to sigh for the luck of General Speight. It turned out that when Spease led the hussars to pursue the opponent, in order to slow down the opponent's speed, March ordered a part of the sticks to be concentrated on Haas, so that Haas led several people to be responsible for using these "weapons" to hit the enemy by throwing. Originally, he just wanted to delay his opponent and prepare for Haas's heroic "heroic sacrifice". However, Speight's luck was not good, and among the many throws, he was hit twice in quick succession. And that's not the worst of it, the first blow knocked his helmet off, and the second hit hit him directly in the head. So, the Praetorian Guard, who was observing from the side, naturally wrote General Spease on the "list of the dead" in accordance with the regulations. As a result, the 3rd Division was judged to be "temporarily incapacitated for organized action".
"I think this exercise can end here, Your Majesty." Thorgrande spoke to the Queen.
"What do you think, my Commander-in-Chief?" Margaret gave the question to old Henry.
The old man touched his beard and replied respectfully, "Lord Luce's proposal is very timely, Your Majesty. So far, as a newly formed corps, the XIII Corps has proven that they are quite combat-ready. As for the First Legion, it can only be said that luck is not on their side today. Continuing any further would only increase the fatigue and sickness of the soldiers. β
"What about the three admirals?"
"We have no opinion." Now that the supreme civil and military officials have reached an agreement, there is no need for others to oppose it.
"Then, General Yeft, please send someone to convey the order that the exercise will end."
"Respectfully, Your Majesty." General Yeft accepted the order and rode his horse down.
About 15 minutes later, the commanders of both sides received orders to end the exercise, and the reactions were, of course, different.
"It's finally over, but it's not a shame to behave." Admiral Chenna Lanfonte's answer.
ββ¦β¦ We will act in accordance with His Majesty's orders. Admiral Oiffi Santro was silent for a moment before answering the herald.
"Your Majesty, Admiral Lanfonte's urgent request report." The herald brought back a document.
"Lu Siqing, read it to everyone."
"I hereby apply that Truss Biogel be transferred to the Acting Commander of the 30th Division of the Thirteenth Army Corps, and that his rank of colonel be restored."
"What do you think?" Margaret asked.
"No, Your Majesty, Biogel was a rebel in the past, and he has just been exonerated of rebellion. How could he be reactivated in less than a year? Frank Shaw's opinion was clear, "If Admiral Lanfonte really needs a good cavalry commander, he can choose one of the three division commanders of my Eighth Army." β
"It is also possible to promote one of the three hussar commanders of our 3rd Legion." Huo Lin seconded Shaw's opinion.
"There are many outstanding young cavalry commanders in our army waiting for your majesty's favor." Even the commander-in-chief meant this.
In the end, the queen set her sights on Saugland.
"I recommend that Your Majesty approve Admiral Lanfant's application." Sogrend replied solemnly.
"How so? Ryusching. β
"Admiral Shaw, I ask you, if any of the three generals Mercedes, Schuster and Novotny are removed at once, can you guarantee that by next spring, the new division commander will have his division ready for battle? What to do against 2 Mastar United alone? β
"This ...... I can try. β
"Admiral Holin, the same goes for the Third Legion, as far as I know, you don't have the right person to take over as the commander of the hussars."
"Uh...... That's right. "Huo Lin originally just wanted to find a chance for his subordinates to be promoted without fighting.
"For some political reasons, I personally think it would be better to agree to Admiral Lanfonte's application."
"Can you calm people's hearts?" Marshal Hannibal Henry muttered to himself.
"Then, let me compromise and issue an order to Biogle, but in three months' time, let the men of the 30th Division represent the 13th Army Corps in the hussar training competition of the whole army, and if his performance is not approved by the Commander-in-Chief and the Prime Minister, I will cut him down. How's that going, guys? β
"My king is wise!" The courtiers apparently had no opinion.
