I Will Be The Crowned King Chapter 465

Fernando, who had given up on himself, was ready to sacrifice himself for the friendly army, but his "comrades" were completely disrespectful-Levant, who was beaten into a sieve, was put aside, he was facing off against Louis Bernard in the Bay of Red Hands. However, Arthur Hereid had no idea of ​​a quick solution at all, and his mind was full of continuing the duel with Louis.

A commander who dares to take the lead in the charge can arouse the courage of the soldiers, but if the commander himself falls into the trap again and again, even if his combat effectiveness is really strong, strong enough to kill the enemy alone, this kind of throwing away the army only cares. Besides reducing the combat efficiency of the army, his own happy behavior has no meaning at all.

With the gradual rise of Clovis, especially the reform of the new military system and the basic completion of the "Iron Cross" railway network, more troops can be put into the battlefield in the same area, and encounters between one or two thousand, three or four thousand people gradually Disappearing, the positional warfare of nearly 10,000 people began to become mainstream... The enemy's change, even if the empire was reluctant, had to make changes, and strengthened the centralization of power against the dissatisfaction of the princes from all sides, resorting to war to suppress the momentum of Clovis' rise. .

The fact is that the empire's system is dominated by feudal noble knights, emphasizing the logic of the leader's personal bravery, and it is contradictory to the battle of the large corps-tens of thousands of people don't talk about battles, even daily marches require a lot of preparation and planning work, countless. The matter of the commander requires the decision of the commander, but his personal prestige and chivalry require that he must always appear in the sight of the soldiers and take the lead in charging in order to arouse everyone's will to fight.

Of course, with the passage of time, the imperial knights have gradually adapted to this kind of war logic that makes them very uncomfortable, and full-time logistics and planning staff like Bernard Morwes have also emerged, and the prestige commander He also began to say goodbye to the front lines, running his legion through messengers, bugles, and flags, instead of shouting loudly.

But after adapting to adapting, the commander's pioneering soldiers can still win him the love of a large number of soldiers - even if the commander is in a hurry to scold the staff and logistics of his subordinates, in order to ensure his safety, the entire army was forced to take the initiative to expose the attack target. Chaos, incredibly inefficient, and still the same.

Arthur Hereid at this moment is basically in such a state.

His insistent actions almost caused the entire jihadist army to come to a standstill, and all plans had to revolve around the army commander who had completely ignored everything; whether he could break through the enemy's position and conquer several strongholds that could give the army an advantage were secondary. , making sure he can go head-to-head with Louis Bernard is key.

If there was Bernard who could give orders instead of giving orders in the past, since the loss of the superintendent and Ludwig's bottomless support of Arthur Hereid, no one can stop this. A "Dragon Roar" fights freely on the battlefield.

Louis Bernard, who is on the disadvantaged side, is naturally happy with this. Although he is sorry for his dear friend, as the commander of the New World Legion, his most important mission now is to curb the pace of the Mujahideen's attack - to lose the operation of the Red Hand Bay. With several months of barriers, Changhu Town, which has not invested too much resources, cannot stop the jihadist army. The Free Confederation, which has been retreating again and again, really can only hide in Winter Torch City, praying that the cold winter ice and snow can make the jihadist army stay away. .

At the same time, Ludwig, who was in charge of reinforcements for Arthur Herreid - holding back his legs - not only blocked the reckless behavior of the young army commander, but praised him and took the initiative to justify his delay in conquering the Red Army. The reasons and difficulties of Shouwan even made him a Paladin who really fought for the Ring of Order.

The most important thing is that although this kind of nonsense remarks have been unanimously approved by the bottom of the jihadist army, the famous Arthur Hereid has become thousands of people because of this irresponsible behavior. The hero of the Mujahideen soldiers.

The method is very simple and not new at all: Ludwig knew how his own sister Sophia "hyped up" Anson Bach, and became well-known in Clovis with a copy of "The Battle of Eaglehorn" Yes, he used the same method to raise the price of Arthur Hered in the Mujahideen.

It happened that in several colonies already occupied by the jihadist army, there were branches of the newspaper Moby Dick, Ludwig made use of them, edited the newspapers as materials and distributed them to the front lines; although a lot of materials were squeezed out because of this However, it did not cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers on the front line, but was quite popular.

The only shortcoming is probably that Ludwig lacks a writer who is quite literary like a novelist, and that these newspapers are going to be stuffed with private goods, so he can only do it himself, and put all kinds of stories about Arthur. Herrid's "heroic deeds" were compiled and published in a serious battle report.

So when the command found that there was a problem with the frontline battle, and tried to investigate and complain, it was found that Arthur Herrid, who was the main person in charge of the Battle of Red Hand Bay, was not only at fault, but also became a hero of the entire Crusaders!

"...On June 30, it was overcast with light rain.

The defeat in the battle the day before yesterday made an impression on the morale of the army. The chief of the division reported that the number of maintenance equipment and medicines on the list was one-third higher than before, so that the casualty figures given by the battalions and regiments in five hours were rehearsed in advance.

At 13:55 at noon, a shell from an 18-pounder landed in an open-air kitchen on the front line, causing a little loss of fuel and kitchen utensils. Two people were killed in the kitchen, and six people were seriously injured. Too many people are still within the tolerance range.

The real impact will wait until the end of the battle... Soldiers with severe physical loss returned to the tent, but only had clear water and cold food to feed their stomachs, and the heart-warming hot soup had long since vanished in the war.

The cemetery, a huge cemetery... The messenger described the scene he saw in the barracks when he returned; the soldiers with livid faces and numbness looked like mourners, the officers and knights full of anger seemed like relatives who could not accept reality, Desperately suppressing the nameless anger that arises from grief.

The enemy is not as weak and timid as imagined; the heroic holy warriors are not able to conquer this snow-covered land with only the boots under their feet and the horseshoes of their warhorses; frustration and cold food hit their Confidence and courage.

It was also at this time that Arthur Herreid... he came to the camp.

Looking at the legion commander who was bruised and clasped with broken long hair in his hand, the soldiers lowered their heads in shame and did not dare to look at him; the battle during the day was vivid in their minds, and everyone still remembered that lightning bolt. The figure, single-handedly broke through the blockade of the pagans, and rampaged in the enemy's impregnable line of defense.

Although the soldiers did their best to keep up, they still failed to seize the fighter jet created by the Legion Commander's life, allowing the enemy to fill the vacancies on the front line in time; Arthur Hereid, who was alone, had broken through the front line, and only Can silently withdraw and accept the reality of falling short.

Facing the self-blaming and annoyed soldiers, he neither cursed nor punished their incompetence, but silently picked up the fallen military flag in the trenches and erected it on the ground.

One side after another... Arthur Herreid, who crossed most of the positions, held up at least hundreds of flags, and silently threw a warm smile at the tired soldiers without resorting to any words.

Hundreds of military flags were screeching and hunting, and the soldiers who were originally depressed stood up one after another, the heavy breathing resounded like continuous artillery fire in the trenches, pain and loss disappeared, replaced by more noble and Self-explanatory power.

That power has many names, it is responsibility, it is courage, it is confidence, it is perseverance... It is the soul of Arthur Herred, who recklessly gave to the entire jihadist army, and will not be defeated and destroyed.

Yes, tomorrow's jihadist army may still not be able to win, but they will not be defeated by the enemy's despicableness because of this, but they will fight more and more bravely, falling down again and again, rising again, falling and rising again, until Victory, until the glory of the Ring of Order, truly conquering this snow-covered land..."

"Snapped-!"

Grad Manfred, Grand Commander of the Knights of Judgment, who slapped the report on the dining table and ate navy biscuits for breakfast, let out a long sigh of relief and swept his eyes to the opposite side: "What do you think, Phyllis?"

"Major General Ludwig Franz... what a talent."

The named young man smiled and sighed, holding the steaming coffee in his right hand holding a cigarette: "Such a good writing... He should become a writer, or a professional editor, definitely not a soldier."

"Very severe criticism." The commander joked, and tapped the report on the table with a hard biscuit: "The sender said that this report has been circulated in the field of 200,000 copies. There are people who are urging them to work overtime to make copies!”

"And this just proves my point." Sir Phyllis glanced at the biscuit crumbs on the letter paper with some disgust, took a sip of black coffee, and the inferior taste made him frown even more:

"In your impression, is there any battle report that has been successfully published as a popular book because it is exciting enough, or is it that you are willing to read it several times?"

"Uh...let me think, let me think...well...probably...should...yes, not one!"

Grad shook his head: "Most of the excellent battle reports are too boring to write. It's not because my job requires me to even bother to read them. As for the not so good ones... What do I see them for?"

"Exactly!"

Sir Phyllis smiled: "Major General Ludwig is very smart, this is basically a brochure, and complain to the high command of the jihadist army by the way - after all, they are really deceived, and they have the idea of ​​​​complaining. excusable."

"Deceived?" The head of the regiment almost laughed out loud.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about ordinary soldiers."

Sir Phyllis showed a serious look: "They are the real main body of the jihadist army, hundreds of thousands of line infantrymen in cheap uniforms, unable to afford good boots, using shoddy weapons, and hundreds of thousands of others who sent them to People who came to the battlefield, provided food, and couldn't find their names on the roster...they were deceived."

"The New World is not fertile ground, and the enemies are not weak enough to be easily defeated. On the contrary, they are very difficult to deal with; it is precisely because of various facts that do not match imagination that this brochure has such a high popularity among the jihadists. !"

"You mean, this matter should be taken seriously?" The head of the chief suppressed the smile on his face, and nodded slightly at random: "That's right, it must be taken seriously... Arthur Herrid, should be given by the Holy See. A medal for him, making him a model for the entire Crusaders!"

"Bore Levent, and Fernando, I'm afraid they won't be satisfied with this result."

The corners of Sir Phyllis's mouth lifted up and said with emotion: "Major General Ludwig Franz... I used to think he was an unsuccessful soldier, but now it seems... all the guys surnamed Franz should not be easily provoked. Object."

"Especially when they are rich enough to rival the country and have a king in their hands!" The chief of the regiment expressed the same sentiment: "Six legions, the Clovis only occupy one-sixth, but they successfully dominated the situation of jihad. And the direction, the complete isolation of the original best hope to control the situation, Boley Levent ... It is really commendable!"

"So you really think he's in charge of this?"

"He'd better be, otherwise the problem we have to deal with is not just a problem of too inflated ambitions of a legionnaire. UU read www.uukanshu.com" Grad gave Sir Pheleus a deep look:

"The trump cards in the hands of the ruling knights and the Holy See are very limited, and can only be used for deterrence and a final decision at critical moments; if half of the crusades are to fight against us, there is actually no chance of winning this battle."

"half?!"

Ser Phyllis was startled, and the cigarette in his hand nearly fell on the table.

"This is a conservative guess." Grad nodded slightly, "Katcha!" He took a bite of the biscuit in his hand:

"The Holy See does not have its own army. This is our biggest shortcoming. If we want to drive those soldiers, we need to pay a price, and it must be justifiable. Otherwise, they dared to split the church and set up their own sect. Years later...give me the coffee, this cookie is too dry."

"So we must rush to the new world as soon as possible to control the jihadist army in the name of the high command, and we cannot continue to be overtaken by Ludwig Franz as we are now." Sir Pheleus pushed the cup to the grand commander:

"Then what's your next plan?"

"plan?"

Grad, who took a sip and took a sip, also showed the same expression as Phyllis: "There is no plan! At this stage, it is not advisable to interfere too much with the army commanders who are scheming, and let them have the idea that we will take away the command. ."

"Since Ludwig used this method to hold back the attack on the front line of Red Hand Bay, did not give supplies to Fernando who besieged Beluga Port, and isolated Boley Levent, it proves that he really wants to slow down the attack."
