When the vast soil fleet appeared, there was no suspense in this battle.

In the face of the firepower coverage of naval guns and artillery positions, Arthur Hereid, who only had four line infantry companies, had no ability to fight back at all-even the power of the bloodline of the so-called strongest "Dragon Knight", in dozens of In front of the field gun is no different from a Chihuahua roaring at a lion.

After the line infantry on the two flanks began to press up, this small infantry regiment had no other option but to quickly turn in... The four infantry companies took cover in two and two, relying on line salvos and feints to push back the two flanks to try to encircle them. their company soldiers.

So the Thun Legion, who originally planned to save face and make up for the loss of responsibility for the position, once again "showed its ugliness" under the watchful eyes of the "friends" of the Storm Division - the aggressive bayonet charge was tacitly cooperated by several "talented" knights, and The alternate firepower of the imperial line infantry was defeated, and the scattered troops also blocked the offensive route of reinforcements behind the friendly forces, gaining enough space and time for the enemy to retreat.

Soon, this sudden and inexplicable battle ended quietly before everyone could react.

The infantry regiment of more than 500 people, after dropping a dozen corpses and a few unlucky ones, disappeared without a trace on the rugged mountain road and horizon of Aiden.

The Stormtroopers and the soldiers of the Thun Legion, who looked at each other in dismay, began to sweep the cratered battlefield, inspect and repair the artillery-damaged fortifications amid the commander's cursing and shouting orders.

The division's hussar battalion, under An Sen's instruction, just "driven" them to the direction of the barren stone fort, and stopped chasing, and bundled the injured and stragglers into zongzi, and drove them to the place. In a warehouse just built in the military camp, it was used as a temporary prison for them.

Seventeen forty-four... The Aiden Corps of 8,000 people who had originally agreed to arrive today finally appeared on the horizon in a mighty manner and came to join the Storm Division and the coalition forces.

The reason for being "late" is mainly that Leno Emmanuel can't be like Anson, who is like Anson, who throws the port of Carindia and leaves immediately.

Whether it is his replacement in the reconstruction committee or the operation of the city in the future, proper and sufficient arrangements must be made, otherwise it is impossible for him to hand over the city, which is very important to the Emmanuel family, to the The gang of grass that jumped across the wall repeatedly... so it took a lot of time.

Even being able to "step on the spot" was the result of Renault Emmanuel sensing the shelling in the direction of the salty village and ordering a rapid march to try to reinforce it.

However, since the main force of the Aiden Legion was almost all infantry, and the rugged mountain road of Aiden, the battle had already ended four hours ago when they arrived.

Considering the humiliating performance of the Thun Legion in the whole battle, for the Aiden Legion, who are also good at "mad dog tactics", it is not a kind of luck to be late - at least now they can laugh at others, instead of becoming a object to be mocked.

"So...who starts first?"

With his back to the map of Aiden and the land behind him, Anson, who was standing at the end of the long table, held a glass of rum and said in an easy-going tone.

The storm division and coalition officers present here did not have such a "good mood" as him. They were all speechless, and they lowered their heads one by one. Throw yourself into this container not much bigger than the palm of your hand.

This is a "Feast for the Wind" prepared for the arrival of the Aiden Legion. According to the customs of Hantu and Clovis, a field like this mainly "alcohol" should be filled with dirty jokes, jokes, bets and swear words. The laughter and laughter created by the joint creation are full of laughter; everyone has a good time together and sings "Our friendship will last forever".

But they, who had just suffered a "defeated battle", were not in a good mood to celebrate.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Fabien, who coughed twice, stood up slowly, trying to keep his face straight: "Although this encounter did not cause too many losses, it fully exposed the incoordination of our army when encountering emergencies. , the situation in which each unit is fighting on its own; as for the consequences, everyone has seen it now..."

"Severe punishment! This situation must be severely punished, otherwise what if the next attack on us is not a small group of wandering enemy troops, but the main force of the Imperial Expeditionary Force waiting to ambush? If we are not in the well-defended salted village position, Instead, there is no cover, and it is even completely exposed to the foothills where the enemy's superior firepower is covered and the lines are difficult to unfold?!"

"There is no doubt that what awaits us must be the annihilation of the entire army!" said the commander of the Grenadier regiment extremely sternly.

As a former Guards officer, being convenient to others and oneself is Fabian's motto. He spends most of the time in the military conference of the Storm Division, and he is a "public opinion representative" who represents the inner thoughts of most officers. , to ease the conflict between the deputy commander and others.

"Offending people" things like pouring cold water, showing loyalty, and obviously acting as the deputy commander's microphone are usually done by someone who is more "good" at taking the blame.

But it is a pity that Carl Bain is now serving as Claude Francois's military adviser, and even the little clerk is far away at Iron Clock Fort - as a member of the inner circle around Anson, he is a "good man" "Have to perform a white face.

"Some people...Listen clearly, I'm talking about some people! I know what you think, and I don't want to say more, let alone pay attention to it."

"But I have to remind you that this is the Storm Division, the Clovis-Hamland Coalition, and the army! You are soldiers! As soldiers, it is your duty to obey commands and orders, and to act according to plan!"

"You enjoy the best logistics management department and the most efficient administrative department in the entire Hantuo, handling all the work for you except combat; you are equipped with weapons and equipment that friendly forces envy and a firepower configuration comparable to the regular army of Clovis... What have you done, what have we… done?"

"We... let the scumbags of the empire, who can't even reach a thousand people... break through the defense line!"

"And watch them slip away!"

Fabian, who was getting more and more angry, slapped the table with a slap, which made the officers present tremble.

"This has nothing to do with other people, and it has nothing to do with the soldiers - our soldiers are not greedy for life, they fought back four consecutive rounds against the firepower of the imperial line infantry, paid tragic sacrifices, and persisted to the artillery position. They had to retreat when they fought back, and the responsibility is not on them.”

"The responsibility lies with us!"

"As the head of the Grenadier Regiment of the Storm Division, I think I need to review." Taking a deep breath, Fabian raised his glass with a face full of grief and reproach:

"Everyone, let us remember the lesson of this time - victory is not easy, and our enemy is not a stinky fish and shrimp that can be easily defeated."

"The only way to win is to absolutely obey orders and orders, to follow a pre-established plan, not to act on a whim or take it for granted!"

The words fell, and the officers, who were ashamed (frightened), stood up one by one like prisoners who were about to be released, and raised their glasses to the deputy commander who was always smiling.

Anson, who was in a happy mood, quickly completed the communication with the commander of his grenadier regiment with the corner of his eye, and also raised his glass:

"Then use this glass of wine and wish us victory!"

"I wish the victory--!!!!"

This time, not only the storm division, but even the Aiden officers who had watched the lively before finally stopped laughing at the friendly forces, and sang "United we are invincible", "The road is tortuous, the future is bright".

Only Renaud Emmanuel looked gloomy and said nothing.

Fabian—or rather, Anson himself—said on the surface that he was reprimanding the Stormtroopers who were there and the disgraceful Thun Corps, but in fact all the words were addressed to Aiden, who had just arrived. The Legion listened.

To be more precise, it is warning and "reminding" Leno Emmanuel.

In the previous battle of Carindia Port, he did not follow the pre-ordered plan and started the war without authorization. Although he still won in the end, the price he paid was that the army of 10,000 people was almost wiped out, and a completely ruined one. Port of Carindia.

If it hadn't been for Anson Bach's timely rescue, if it hadn't been successfully routed in the Battle of Reef Town and captured the Empire's vast soil fleet, if it hadn't been for the enemy's sudden madness and the removal of most of the surrounding troops, if...

If there weren't so many "what ifs", the battle to retake the port of Carindia would be ten times more tragic than it is now.

It was obviously inappropriate for Anson Bach, an outsider, to scold the "host" because he had just won the victory in Port Carindia before, and Port Carindia was the "home" of the Emmanuel family. .

After all, the Emmanuel family has already made a lot of concessions, and Anson also expects to use the reconstruction of Carindia Port to launder money, isn't it... It is a "reasonable" plan for Carindia's indemnity.

So he took advantage of this inexplicable battle to point out Sang scolding Huai's warning to Reno not to try to act without authorization, especially not to violate his designated "perfect plan".

Reno, who is clear about this, will naturally not have any good looks, but it is impossible to refute anything - after all, His Excellency the Deputy Commander, who is "committed to maintaining the unity of the two countries", is scolding his own people from beginning to end. , did not mention him and Aiden at all.

So this "unique" and "meaningful" reception banquet was pushed to a climax in a happy atmosphere.

………………

"Do you have anything else?"

At 8:30 in the evening, An Sen with a normal expression announced the end of the banquet on time, and asked the officers who were about to drink too much to return to their respective posts immediately, urging a good rest, saying that they would start on time in the early morning of the day after tomorrow.

After all the officers got out of the way, only Anson and Leno Emmanuel were left in front of the lively long table.

Facing Anson's concerned "greetings", the somewhat drunk Lenore looked a little embarrassed.

He originally planned to wait for the end of the banquet to ask Anson if he was sarcastic just now; but when it was time to speak, he suddenly felt that his behavior was extremely naive, almost like Leon.

So he can only change the question.

"Your Excellency Fabien told me that when the... Imperial infantry regiment appeared, you ordered the cavalry not to pursue them." Reno said cautiously:

"Can I ask why?"

"Certainly, in fact I was about to discuss this with you - if the Imperials didn't show up."

Anson said with a smile, taking a sip of the rum.

"……What's the meaning?"

Reno was taken aback by this answer.

"It's very simple, what is the purpose of our presence here?" Shaking the glass, Anson pretended to chat:

"Support Claude Francois? We don't know the situation on the battlefield, or even the exact location of them and the enemy, where the battle is going, and what the situation is between the enemy and the enemy... We don't know anything about it. "

"So in this case, how can we 'support' our Majesty Claude Francois?"

Lenore frowned slightly: "How to support?"

"It's very simple~www.wuxiaspot.com~ That is to take the initiative to expose ourselves." Anson snapped his fingers "crack!":

"We don't know the exact location of the enemy and us, but one thing is very clear, that is our own location - where is this, the salted village; where is the salted village, south of Aydin, and the deserted stone castle is in Aydin west."

"Limited by supplies and roads, the battle between the two sides must be fought around the barren stone castle and the top tower, which means that the center of the battlefield is in the west, and the armies of the enemy and allies are also moving towards this center, and we are in the south. That is to say..." Anson deliberately sold a word.

"Anyway, we are on the flanks and even...backs of the enemy and friendly forces?!"

Reno, who hesitated, looked a little unbelievable.

"Correct answer - that's why I insist on landing here, and use this as a starting point!" Anson continued with a smile:

"According to my original plan, it should be to send as many skirmishers as possible, conduct tentative fire reconnaissance, and make the enemy vigilant while confirming the battle situation, thereby distracting their attention, which can also weaken Claude. Francois is currently under pressure to better form a situation of flanking the enemy's flanks."

"Now... this sudden emergence of an army has allowed me to successfully skip this step, which is very likely to cause trouble, and go directly to the next step."

"They have seen our firepower, and they have seen the vast soil fleet with their own eyes; in order to avoid the accusation of nothing, they will definitely publicize it to their superiors and tell the Imperial Expeditionary Force, which is probably going well now..."

"US……"

"The one who defeated and captured his fleet..."

"The alliance of Clovis and Hantu..."

"...Come to find them!"
