Chapter 86: Thoughts

This person is none other than Higgins, Commander of the Fourth Army of the Ponsin Empire.At this moment, his body also exudes a blue fighting spirit.The enemy leader couldn't help but gasped. He didn't expect that there was a high-ranking swordsman in Emperor Pang Xin's army.And this person looks so young.

Without saying much, the battle began immediately.Higgins' swordsmanship was taught by General Buck.He has not been trained systematically by the Mowu Academy, but he grew up in the war.His swordsmanship is fast, concise, crisp, and extremely practical.The two fought fast against each other on the roof, and in an instant, they had already fought more than ten swords.

Arrows are raining down outside the town at this moment, and both sides are shooting at each other with bows and arrows.The ** team used shields to protect themselves, while slowly retreating into the town.And the pursuers of Zhuanghan Kingdom were blocked by Emperor Pang Xin's spear array and could not advance half a step.

Even so, the ** team also lost hundreds of fighters in this attack.However, the enemy's combat purpose of filling the trenches was not achieved.

The hunt and kill of Zhuang Khan's raiding soldiers in the town came to an end not long ago.Although these people are some good swordsmen, they are no match for many people.Under the attack of the 18th brigade's magic piercing arrows, more than half of them were killed or injured.The rest are not fleeing around, but still stubbornly resisting.

The battle between Higgins and the enemy leader has also been decided.Although the two were swordsmen of the same level, Higgins was closer to a warrior, a killing machine trained from countless hand-to-hand combats.When the fight was less than thirty swords, he slammed his left arm and received a sword from the enemy leader, and swung the long sword with his right hand, cutting him in half!

The sun is setting towards the west.Most of the main force of the Zhuang Khan Kingdom arrived here overnight, and they were already exhausted by now.Since the first battle was ineffective, the head of the Wang army ordered to camp and rest in order to fight again tomorrow.

This day's battle seems to have come to an end.In the evening, a military meeting was held in Duke Wenhan's commander's tent to review the success or failure of today's battle and discuss tomorrow's battle plan.

"Everyone, judging from today's battle, our army wants to fill the trenches ahead and use cavalry to attack. It seems that it is difficult to realize without paying a huge price. If this is the case, then we have to change our combat policyMy opinion is to fight steadily, and use archers to cooperate with infantry to attack. As long as you pass the trench, you can attack the defenders in the town. You don't want to defeat the enemy quickly, but let engineers fill the trench while in chaos. As long asIf this obstacle is eliminated, then my 200,000 troops can attack across the board, and within a day, the enemy will be completely wiped out. Let’s see, is this plan feasible?"

"My lord, you are the commander-in-chief of the entire army, and this is the only feasible plan at the moment. Then you can give orders on how to implement it!"

"Well, after the attack starts tomorrow, the three infantry brigades of the Mohan Group Army and the three infantry brigades of the Ying Khan Group Army will form the first attack force. All the archers in the entire army must be given uninterrupted coverage to the enemy defenders.Attack to ensure that the infantry can pass the ditch smoothly. Once the ditch is successfully crossed, the infantry will immediately launch a strong attack on the town of Solade. Under the cover of the infantry, the engineers will fill up the ditch with all their strength. After the obstacles are removed, the remaining two armies quickly attack the front lineThe attacking troops should be supported and put into battle. This battle must end before tomorrow's dark. If the enemy defenders escape, there is no need to pursue them!"

"Yes! My lord!"

It was getting dark, and after a day of tentative fighting, the soldiers of both armies entered a state of rest.In the town of Solade, after a simple bandage, Commander Higgins commanded his subordinates to collect the feather arrows shot by the ene in the town and distribute them to the soldiers as weapons for fighting back tomorrow.At the same time, went to inspect the positions and visit the wounded. was so busy that didn't even have time to eat.He knew that today's battle was just a tentative attack by the ene.Tomorrow's battle will definitely be even more tragic and difficult.He has to do a lot of work to prepare the soldiers mentally.

Those enemy soldiers who came to sneak attack through Liujin River during the day have almost been wiped out.Even if there are a few fish that slip through the net, it will not be a big deal.What he is worried about now is, how will the Zhuanghan Kingdom's army attack the town of Solade tomorrow?

At this moment, the support troops sent by the imperial capital also stopped fifty miles away from Sola Town to rest and eat.According to the idea of General Lipusko, the commander of the reinforcements, he planned to let the troops rest until midnight, and then marched again immediately.Strive to arrive at the destination at dawn and go into battle.

Ke Ya was just an inconspicuous soldier in this army.At this moment, he was standing guard on a small slope fifty paces away from where the troops were stationed.Although it is far away from the battlefield, as an army, this is a necessary measure.

Britney brought a bowl of hot vegetable soup and two pieces of bread, walked to the master, and said, "Master Keya, come, let's have something to eat. After eating, you go back to rest, and I will replace youWatch out!"

Keya took the bread with a smile, and said, "No way! Now I am a soldier, and in the army, I cannot engage in privileges. This is the captain's order, and I dare not disobey it!"

Britney curled her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "It's just a small captain, what's the big deal? Master, you are a holy swordsman of the Holy Cult. What a lofty status? Why do you still listen to the command of a small captain?"

Keya took a bite of the bread and said as he ate, "Although I am a swordsman, I don't know how to fight. Since I am in the army, I have to obey the command of the army commander. The great saint also said that I am hereThe army is just an ordinary soldier. You must forget your identity as the guardian of the holy sword, and you must obey the orders of the army in all actions."

"Really?" Britney sighed and had no choice but to say no more.She picked up the spoon in the bowl, scooped up a spoonful of vegetable soup, and said, "Why don't you just eat bread and not drink soup? Come, sit down, and I'll feed you!"

Ke Ya was very used to serving Britney.Even though he was in the barracks, he didn't think there was anything wrong.Immediately, he sat on the slope and opened his mouth to let Britney feed him.

Britney also squatted down, first blew the vegetable soup in the spoon with her mouth, and then gently handed the spoon to Keya's mouth, saying: "Come on, drink slowly, don't choke!"

It was late at night, and in the dark field, the chirping of unknown insects could be heard from time to time.In the barracks, there are piles of bonfires everywhere.After filling their stomachs, many soldiers seized the time and fell asleep.

But Judy couldn't sleep. She was sitting by the campfire, thinking silently.To be honest, her family did not know about her joining the army this time.The father was busy preparing for the war all day long, so he had no time to take care of her daughter.She couldn't help herself at home that day, and secretly ran to Shengjiao to meet Keya.But accidentally saw Keya solemnly handing the holy sword back to his uncle, and leaving the holy religion.After asking her uncle, she found out that Ke Ya was ordered by the great saint to join the army to fight.

For some reason, Judy was always concerned about him.By coincidence, she also signed up without hesitation.Although she is a woman, she is a swordsman.In the face of a national crisis, as long as someone in the recruitment office is willing to contribute to the country, it doesn't matter whether the person who asks to join the army is a man or a woman.So she and Keya were assigned to the same recruit camp, and because they were both swordsmen, they were immediately selected to participate in this support operation.

Since it was not a regular ar, the team of Judy and Keya were all composed of swordsmen.Of course, the squad leader is a seasoned veteran.Although the swordsmen are excellent in swordsmanship, they know nothing about marching and fighting.Therefore, have no opinion on the management of the squad leader.

During the march during the day, what Britney said gave Judy a little hope.She understood that Ke Ya only regarded her as a friend, and the only woman he liked in his heart was Annie.But what Britney said reminded her that the imperial system allowed men to have polygamy.Just because Ke Ya chose Annie, it doesn't mean that he has no chance.She still has plenty of time, and she can slowly try to make Ke Ya fall in love with her.

The only thing that made her unhappy was that Annie was not only her deadly enemy, but Annie's family was also her family's deadly enemy.These two families have been fighting for power since Emperor Pierre I was alive, fighting openly and secretly.After nearly two hundred years of struggle, the contradictions have become very deep.How could it be possible for her to live in peace with Annie and work together as a husband?Even if I am willing, my family will never agree!

This question troubled Judy's brain.

The bonfire was burning, Judy was frowning here, and Annie was also worried about her lover in the imperial capital.At this moment, she was lying on the bed, hugging the pillow, daydreamingly looking forward to the day when she would reunite with Keya, and it would come soon.

However, she thought of another thing that made her uncomfortable.That stinky sissy, she was like that that night, but he couldn't help but not touch her, hum!

Not becoming a woman in the true sense of Ke Ya made Annie feel lost and uneasy.Why?Doesn't Koya love me?Or did he predict that he would die, and wanted to leave me a clean body so that I could marry someone else later?

What a fool!Do you think I will marry someone else after you die?Don't you know that in my heart, there is no room for any man except you?You can die for the goddess, so why wouldn't I die for you?

Annie felt miserable in her heart, this sissy, why didn't she understand her own thoughts?

A gust of night wind was blowing, although it was already spring, it was still very cold on people's bodies on the plain at night.Britney couldn't help shrinking down, leaning her head against Ke Ya's side.

Keya felt it, and said softly: "Is it cold? Then you don't have to accompany me, go back and rest. We will still be on our way in the middle of the night!"

Regarding the master's order, Britney almost subconsciously said the word "okay" first.But as soon as she raised her head, she shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, can I disobey your order? You are my master. If the master doesn't sleep, how can I, a slave, dare to sleep?"

Ke Ya could only sigh, and gently stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms.And turned sideways to shield her from the wind.Britney smiled secretly. Although she was a few years older than Ke Ya, she was nestling in the arms of her master like a bird at this moment.

After a while, she said softly: "Master's arms are so comfortable and warm! I know I shouldn't, but... can I stay a little longer?"

Keya smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as you are willing!"

"Thank you master! Master...I...I love you..."
