Looking at the smiling soldiers around him, Knowlton couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
Yes, it was hard to live in Baoji City surrounded by the allied forces of the Japanese Kingdom and the Makilan Kingdom. Now that they have finally gotten rid of that life and have given the enemy a fatal lesson, can they not be happy?
?
Look at the light cavalry division that was responsible for sorting out the battlefield on the way back. They were picking up the enemy's corpse, missing weapons and some items while walking back. They couldn't help but secretly
She lamented, "I didn't expect that so many enemies were eliminated in this battle?"
Looking at the corpses of enemy soldiers lying scattered on the roadside, everyone couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"Reed! Come on, we have things to do when we get back, so hurry up."
Seeing the soldiers marching so slowly, the division commander couldn't help but urge them, because they must rush back to the city as soon as possible to prepare the logistics troops to deliver supplies to the front line, otherwise the soldiers in front will run out of food every day.
Yes, because they left the station in a hurry, they didn’t bring anything with them at all.
"There are a lot of corpses here. I want to know but I can't get up quickly. What can I do?"
Looking at the mess on the ground, the officer named Reed couldn't help but look helpless. Along the way, they were responsible for collecting weapons dropped by the enemy and assisting other teams to sort out the enemy's corpses and bury them.
How quickly can they go?
"Otherwise, forget it, Reed, you lead your division to stay and organize the battlefield. I will lead a division to go back and work with the logistics troops to deliver supplies to the front line. You can slowly organize it here!
"
After frowning and thinking for a moment, the division commander said.
"Okay, then we'll stay."
When Reed heard this idea, he couldn't help but agreed quickly. After all, without the urging, they wouldn't have to work so hard to rush the work, and it would be much easier for them.
"Okay, then I'll leave first. You should also hurry up and finish sorting this side as soon as possible and then return to the front line. The situation there is still very unclear. Who knows when those bastards will counterattack!"
Thinking of the hundreds of thousands of enemy troops still remaining in Baoji Pass, the division commander couldn't help but feel a headache.
After responding to show that he understood, Reed led his team away from the main force and walked to one side. They must clean up the messy battlefield along the way as soon as possible.
?????????"Open the door!"
"who are you?"
About half an hour later, the division commander led the remaining light cavalry back to the gate of Baoji City.
"Light cavalry, I am the commander of Mourinho's division!" He showed his badge and looked at the soldiers on duty in the city.
"Here, open the door!" The soldiers on the back wall immediately opened the city gate after seeing their badges clearly.
"General Mourinho, are you back? Is the battle over so soon?"
"Haha, you don't know how we chased and beat the enemy's ass along the way, right? That's a great feeling, but the battle is not really over yet. Now the enemy has retreated to Baoji Pass, and our army is in the city
We are guarding outside. I came back to let the logistics troops deliver supplies. Hey, Bird, the soldiers of your forward battalion have also gone to the front line. Why are you Qianqi people still here? "I heard the person on the other side.
Mourinho laughed and said the question, expressing the joy in his heart at the moment.
That's right, the man who defended the city was Bird.
"We just came back from outflanking the enemy's rear and you went to fight before we rested. General Knowlton asked us to defend the city for the time being. Also staying with us were men from the 3000th Cavalry and soldiers from a battalion of infantry.
." Bird said helplessly with a little envy on his face.
After they just came back from the enemy's rear, Long Aotian was seriously injured, so when they came back, there were a lot of soldiers still on the way back, and they couldn't catch up with the battle. In addition, they lost money when they were behind the enemy's rear.
It's not a small force either. Two men with a thousand riders left, but when they came back, there was only one man with a little more than a thousand riders left. They couldn't go out to fight without being reorganized.
"Oh, that's it. I'll leave first. I won't say more. The people in front are still waiting for me!"
Thinking that the soldiers on the front line were still waiting for the arrival of the logistics troops, Mourinho prepared to leave without talking to Bird.
After watching Mourinho leave, Bird's eyes flashed with disappointment. It was indeed a pity for a strong person like him that he did not participate in such a win-win battle.
After closing the city gate, Bird continued his work on the city wall - defending the city. After settling the soldiers guarding the city, Bird also walked towards the bottom of the city. He wanted to see
See how Long Aotian is doing over there. After all, Long Aotian has been unconscious since he came back and he still hasn't woken up yet. He is really a little worried.
When he arrived outside Long Aotian's residence and looked at the dozens of guards lined up in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh, and Bird continued to walk forward.
"Captain Bird Thousand Cavalry!"
Seeing Bird's arrival, Gilma stood up and saluted.
Ji Luo and others were still in shabby condition. They had just returned from the enemy's rear and went directly to Long Aotian's door to stand guard for him without washing themselves.
"Giro, what's going on with Aotian?" He looked at Giro and asked slightly.
"I still haven't woken up, but my complexion is slowly getting better." Ji Luo couldn't help but said helplessly when he thought of the appearance of Long Aotian lying inside. Long Aotian's injuries this time were indeed very serious.
"I'll go in and take a look." Bird said and walked inside.
When he came to the inner room, Bird saw Long Aotian still lying quietly on the bed, and beside him stood Gretel, silently guarding him.
After making a gesture to Gretel to indicate that he did not need to salute, Bird walked over to Long Aotian. Looking at Long Aotian who was lying peacefully on the bed at this moment, he really couldn't put his eyes on him at this moment and when he faced the enemy.
Aotian unites. It seems that they are two completely different people.
Cough cough cough?? At this time, Long Aotian, who was lying on the bed, suddenly coughed.
"Aotian, are you okay?" After hearing this voice, Bird thought it was Long Aotian who had woken up, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Sir, are you awake?" At this time, Grete on the other side also hurried forward and asked with concern.
However, they were all disappointed. Long Aotian did not wake up and was still unconscious after coughing.
"It's okay, Aotian should wake up now. We are waiting, he should wake up soon!"
Seeing this situation, Bird said helplessly. In fact, he himself was not sure whether Long Aotian would wake up at this time.
At this moment, Long Aotian felt that he was having a dream, a very long dream. In the dream, he saw what he looked like. He saw that he was leading an army to fight against the enemy. In the dream, he saw that he was wearing a
Silver armor, holding a silver spear, stood majestically on a hillside. The two armies in front of him were fighting fiercely. Hundreds of thousands of people on both sides were fighting in a melee, and Long Aotian
He was also looking straight at the enemy general opposite. The two were looking at each other, ready to kill each other at any time.
Suddenly his dream jumped into another scene, and he saw that he was standing with Hua Ningshuang at the moment. They were standing on a hillside full of flowers. The two of them looked at the sunset that was about to fall into the horizon in the distance and felt it.
The afterglow of the setting sun hugged each other and enjoyed this quiet moment.
The picture changed again. Hua Ningshuang suddenly turned into a phantom and disappeared beside him. No matter how hard Long Aotian tried, he couldn't catch her. At this moment, he felt a little powerless. Then the scene turned into a blur.
In the darkness, Long Aotian only felt that he was in a place where he couldn't see his fingers. His eyes were pitch black and he couldn't see anything. He could only hear waves of uncomfortable laughter and ridicule coming from around him.
Voice.
The scene changed again. He and Taxue were facing a general in armor. The two sides started attacking each other. Long Aotian just felt that the other party was very powerful. However, the cooperation between himself and Taxue was unable to stop the other party.
The attack was at a disadvantage, and suddenly the opponent's long sword stabbed towards him. Long Aotian, who had no time to dodge, looked at the long sword that was about to pierce his body with a desperate look in his eyes. He looked at the face of the enemy who was getting closer and closer to him.
, Long Aotian saw clearly, wasn't this person Ichiro Matsui? At this moment, he was looking at him ferociously!
"ah???"
After being awakened by a dream, Long Aotian screamed.
"Aotian, Aotian, you finally woke up!"
Seeing Long Aotian suddenly opening his eyes and shouting, Bird hurriedly stepped forward and asked, regardless of why he reacted like this.
After hearing Bird's words, Long Aotian looked at his surroundings and found that he was lying in his room at the moment. Gretel was beside Bird. Only then did he realize that he had just been dreaming.
, wiping the cold sweat on his head, Long Aotian felt bursts of pain coming from his body.
Only then did he remember the voice he heard before he fainted in the woods. Wasn't that the voice of Bird and others? He understood that it must be Bird and others who brought him back.
"Aotian, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Seeing that Long Aotian had been looking at the roof with his eyes open since he woke up but he didn't say a word, and his eyes were empty, which made people feel a little worried. Bird asked hurriedly.
