Chapter Nine hundred and seventy second, the head ran away
"Brother Thief, I have found out everything about the situation!"
When Liuzi came back, his face was filled with sorrow.
"explain!"
Murong Xiaotian's face also darkened, and just by looking at Liuzi's face, he knew something was wrong.
"The three major armies of the empire, the one participating in the battle is the Tianhu Army..."
"Tell me the important point!" Murong Xiaotian frowned.
The Gale Empire has been at war with the Moros for so many years. Beimang Mountain is the last barrier for the Moros to enter the Gale Empire. The Tianhu Legion has been stationed here for a long time. Anyone who is from the Gale Empire knows this.
Murong Xiaotian knew this clearly when he was still in Kebado Town.
As for the other two legions, the Tianlong Legion, which has the strongest combat effectiveness, is stationed in the Imperial City. The Tianlong Legion is also the Guards Corps of the Gale Empire and is absolutely impossible to leave the Imperial City.
The Tianhuang Legion is located at the junction of the royal family's jurisdiction and the forces of the four famous mansions, guarding against sudden rebellions by the four famous mansions.
In fact, in a war with the Moros, the only troops that the Royal Family of the Gale Empire could use were the Sky Tiger Legion.
"Beimang Mountain has built two lines of defense. The second line of defense is defended by the Tianhu Corps, and the first line of defense is entirely defended by the New Corps. This time the Moro attack is extremely fierce. It has only been half a century since the war began.
In a matter of months, eight new regiments have been defeated."
Liuzi immediately got to the point.
"Using new recruits as cannon fodder?"
Although this kind of thing has been heard for a long time, it is different this time. It is so real and relevant.
In fact, logically speaking, one cannot blame the empire at all.
When the empire went to war with the Moros, it was natural and justified for the four famous governments to send troops. However, in order to preserve their strength, the four famous governments did not send regular troops at all, but used slaves to supplement their numbers.
The imperial royal family is naturally not a fool. You know how to preserve your strength, don’t I?
Naturally, we pushed the recruits sent by the four famous governments to the front line to use your people to consume the strength of the Moros. When your people are gone, it will be our own legion's turn.
But even so, every time a war starts, the number of new soldiers sent by the four famous palaces to replenish their numbers is getting smaller and smaller.
As a last resort, it developed into the current situation, where once the war started, members of the royal family visited the four famous mansions to forcibly recruit soldiers.
After all, the four famous palaces still belong to the Gale Empire in name. Regarding the royal family's approach, no matter how reluctant they are, they can only obey.
But in this case, they are not even willing to bear the burden of armaments. If your royal family personally recruits soldiers, then you will naturally have to bear the burden of these armaments.
The royal family of the Gale Empire can only knock out their teeth and swallow it in the stomach, tmd, the soldiers we personally recruited, we provided the armaments, and we sent the commanders; but in name, they are the troops sent by the four famous palaces.
This is the strange current situation of the Gale Empire. The recruit companies from the four famous palaces are under the jurisdiction, command and establishment of the royal family, but they are not classified as belonging to the royal family.
You said, is it possible that the royal family doesn’t push you to the front line and use it as expendable supplies?
"The new corps that came to report had to go to the front line as soon as they were full and had at most one day's rest; some were even sent to the front line after just a few hours," Liuzi continued: "Even the 17th new corps
, have already moved towards the Beimangshan defense line this morning, and in the entire Jinxiang Town, only our 18th New Regiment and an armored guard reinforcement company from the legion's base camp are left."
Murong Xiaotian's pupils shrank and his heart sank. If his mission was based on the outcome of the war, it would be really troublesome.
No matter how awesome he is, he can't compete with the Legion, right? Besides, he's not that awesome, right?
You understand, this kind of legion war is difficult to change with the strength of one person.
Damn it, the Moro Tribe is coming with force. These new recruit NPCs are just like novice players, and the Moro Tribe’s legions are like the city defense battalion soldiers of the system forces. How do you fight?
Escape? What if you fail the mission?
But the current situation is obviously that once the battlefield is launched, it will be a non-stop situation.
Originally, the direct superior of the regiment was the division headquarters, but even this was omitted in the base camp. As long as a new regiment was gathered, it was immediately sent to the battlefield to use them to consume the strength of the Moros.
As for whether you live or not, I don't care at all.
The 50,000 regular Tianhu Corps troops on the second line of defense not only prevented the new regiments from escaping, but also acted as cruel supervisors to supervise the war regiments.
There is no doubt that anyone who dares to escape from the first line of defense will definitely be executed on the spot.
Now, Murong Xiaozhen felt that this task was somewhat of a dilemma.
So, it’s time to think carefully about what to do...
In the Jinxiang Town Army Base Camp and the Beimang Mountain Battle High Command of the Gale Empire, several combat staff were lying on a Beimang Mountain military map and pointing.
An old man in his 50s stood at the door, looking at the rain falling harder and harder outside, frowning.
A tiger covered in snow-white body with a pair of red wings lay quietly beside him.
Chamberlain—the commander of the Sky Tiger Legion of the Gale Empire and one of the three marshals of the empire.
Strength - thirteen levels of martial arts cultivation.
Compared with the Chinese government NPC special service team, it should be at the level of strength of Kuohai.
His eyes were like rays of light, and his majestic appearance could not hide his look of vicissitudes of life and exhaustion.
In just half a month, the strength of eight new regiments was wiped out, which made him worried. Although they were all recruited from the four famous palaces, they were still soldiers of the empire.
The most serious thing is that the rate of troop depletion is far higher than in previous years. If this continues, the situation will be very unfavorable.
The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. This time, the Moros are coming with menacing force!
"Marshal, there was a riot in the 18th New Regiment, and the second lieutenant commander of the first company was killed!" A man wearing the rank of colonel walked over quickly.
"What? What about their leader?"
Not only Chamberlain, but also the combat staff who were looking at the map raised their heads in shock.
The recruits rioting is no joke. If a chain reaction occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Well, I'm not sure about the specifics. The commanders of the second, third and fourth companies of the 18th New Regiment are at the gate of the military headquarters now."
"Send them in immediately!"
Chamberlain waved his hand and frowned deeper.
Soon, the three company commanders were brought in. Their uniforms were stained with mud and torn into tatters, and their faces were bruised and bruised. The worst one had one ear bloody.
of.
"What's going on?"
"The fifth company rushed into our company station, beat our people, and took away our armaments. Even the commander of the first company was killed by them," the commander of the second company replied.
"He beat four of your companies with one company?"
There was a hint of surprise in Chamberlain's eyes, but his brows were raised.
It turned out that it was just a matter of armaments, and the matter was not as serious as I thought.
The faces of the three company commanders suddenly showed embarrassment. Indeed, it was really embarrassing for four companies to be beaten down by one company.
"They look like soldiers. They are just a group of hooligans. They fight with each other to the death and even bite people. Look, my ear is the one that was bitten."
The commander of the fourth company awkwardly pointed at the bloody ear.
"Why do the Fifth Company want to steal your equipment? Don't they have any equipment themselves?" asked the colonel who brought them over.
"this……"
The three company commanders looked at me, and I looked at you. None of them dared to say a word, and their heads were all drooped.
"explain!"
Chamberlain let out a cold snort, which made the three company commanders tremble involuntarily.
"Each of our companies has received some extra armaments, so when the fifth company arrives..."
In front of the commander of the Tianhu Legion, one of the three marshals of the empire, these three company commanders would never dare to tell a lie.
"Hmph, it turns out that the responsibility does not lie with the Fifth Company. The cause of the incident was caused by the four of you. You three are all officers assigned by the Tianhu Army. Don't you understand the military regulations?"
The colonel let out a cold snort, which made the three company commanders tremble again.
"What about the commander of your 18th regiment? Aren't armaments issued by the regiment headquarters? Will the commander let you do whatever you want?"
Chamberlain frowned again.
"Until now, the commander of our 18th regiment has not yet taken office, and the regiment headquarters is still empty," the commander of the third company replied.
The commanders of the new regiments are all appointed by the regiment headquarters, and the important responsible personnel at the regiment headquarters are appointed by the regiment commanders themselves. They can be people from their original ranks or selected from the regiment; as for the regiment headquarters, they can be appointed by the regiment commander himself.
Logistics personnel are usually dispatched from each company after the regimental commander takes office.
Therefore, as long as the regiment leader does not take office, the regiment headquarters will naturally be empty.
Of course, when appointing members directly under the regiment headquarters, although the person is freely chosen by the regiment leader, the line cannot be crossed.
For example, if the regiment leader wants to appoint a deputy regiment commander, you must appoint someone with at least the rank of major. If you do not reach the military rank, even if the regiment commander wants to promote you, there will be no way.
The regimental headquarters is only qualified to appoint lieutenant officers, which is the company-level military rank of the regiment.
Those at the school level must be appointed directly by the division or corps.
"Not taking office? How is that possible?"
Hearing this, Chamberlain was even more surprised than hearing the riot in the 18th New Regiment.
"You three go out first."
The colonel officer shouted in a deep voice and waved his hand.
The three company commanders breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out.
Marshal Chamberlain did not stop him. Of course he could guess that the colonel officer must have something to say to him, and these words could not be heard by the three company commanders.
After the three company commanders walked away, Chamberlain looked at the colonel.
"Marshal, there is no doubt that the newly appointed commander of the 18th Regiment has escaped."
"Run away? Become a deserter? How is it possible? A dignified officer with the rank of commander of the imperial regiment would run away?" Marshal Chamberlain's eyes were filled with doubts and some disbelief.
"It definitely won't happen in normal times, but now, it's not necessarily the case," the colonel officer sighed: "In the past half month since the war started, eight regiments of the new regiment, including the regiment commander, have all been killed. Anyone with a brain understands that they were transferred to
Being the leader of a new regiment is no different from the new recruits, it is equivalent to stepping into the gate of hell; in this case, it is not surprising that the leader runs away and becomes a deserter."
"Isn't he afraid of sitting together and implicating his family?"
"Others will definitely do it, but the leader of the 18th New Regiment definitely won't!"
"Why?"
Now, Marshal Chamberlain was even more confused.
"Because, the person who was transferred to be the leader of the 18th New Regiment is Jiang Bieyan. This bastard has probably fled back to the imperial city," the colonel officer said with disdain and contempt in his eyes.
"Hmph, you are the scum of the empire. When there is no war, you come here to gild. When the war starts, you become a deserter. Sooner or later, the Gale Empire will be destroyed in the hands of these bastards."
Chamberlain clenched his fists angrily, and his eyes also showed a trace of sadness.
Jiang Bieyan was one of the three marshals of the Gale Empire, the commander of the Tianlong Legion known as the Guards Legion, and the nephew of Jiang Nantian.
He deserted, what can you do to him? Who dares to use the empire's military laws on his head?
"Marshal, we can only put this matter aside for now. The top priority is to solve the problem of the 18th New Regiment first," the colonel officer reminded the emotional Marshal Chamberlain.
"Okay, you and I will go to the 18th Recruitment Regiment in person. I want to see what kind of recruits can defeat four companies with one company."
The colonel's words aroused Marshal Chamberlain's curiosity again...
At the gate of the 18th New Regiment, Chamberlain faced the open space in front of him with a sullen face. Behind him, on both sides, the armored and reinforced guard companies directly under the corps were neatly arranged.
The armor that is sealed from head to toe prevents you from seeing the appearance of each soldier, adding a mysterious and intimidating power.
The two-winged snow tiger moved its four hooves gently and slowly walked around Chamberlain, giving the scene a strong killing atmosphere.
After receiving the order, the company quickly rushed here to assemble and stand by.
"One two one, one two one, stand firm!"
"Report, the second company of the 18th New Regiment has been ordered to report..."
"Report, the third company of the 18th New Regiment has been assembled and has been ordered to come..."
"…………"
The first to fourth companies all rushed to the regiment entrance to wait for orders. The colonel personally brought the company whose commander was killed.
The soldiers of the four companies, their uniforms were covered with mud and were in a miserable state.
Chamberlain's brows twisted into a knot again, and infinite sadness arose in his heart.
The soldiers in front of me have no military appearance at all?
That's all. The most important thing for an army is morale, but where is the morale?
Every soldier's face was covered with sorrow, even under the shock of the reinforced company of armored guards; some soldiers' bodies were shaking slightly in the wind and rain, and their eyes were filled with strong fear.
How could such a soldier win the battle?
What fighting power is there?
No wonder, in just over ten days, eight regiments of troops were wiped out.
But, can you blame them?
The imperial royal family and the four famous mansions plotted against each other, and these recruits became veritable victims.
Hasn't this cycle of reincarnation been repeated over and over again for more than ten years?
However, this year has been particularly brutal.
As a true imperial soldier, Chamberlain could only sigh helplessly.
"Turf grass..."
"Desperately!"
"Turf grass..."
"Desperately!"
Amid the strange parade slogans and shouts, a group of soldiers ran in neat steps from a distance.
Chamberlain's eyes lit up. How could he, an imperial marshal who had experienced countless wars, fail to recognize that there was a kind of courage in this cry that looked back upon death?
"Snap, snap, snap!"
In the sound of neat steps, this group of soldiers, dressed in neat military uniforms, ran to the headquarters of the 18th New Regiment.
It is in sharp contrast to the other four companies of the 18th New Regiment.
When Murong Xiaotian and the others went to rob military equipment, they were all wearing clothes sponsored by the Luo family, which had beaten the military uniforms of other companies into tatters. However, they all put on the new military uniforms they had snatched back, so they were naturally clean and tidy.
.
"Sir, the 18th Recruitment Regiment, all 202 members of the 18th Regiment, are here to report to you!"
Murong Xiaotian quickly ran to Chamberlain and gave a military salute, moving quickly and calmly.
After eight days of traveling, Murong Xiaotian brainwashed them through continuous training, and then violently beat the other four companies of the 18th New Regiment.
The new recruit company in Kekedo Town has completely transformed into a group of soldiers who are not afraid of death.
You know, fighting is the behavior that can best stimulate human beings' wild instincts. This is also one of the reasons why Murong Xiaotian asked them to fight and grab weapons.
Only by letting them show their true nature and unleash their true fire can men's violent instinct be completely released.
Damn it, sharpening a gun in battle is not a flashy job, even if it’s just pretending, Murong Xiaotian still has to pretend to be decent, right?
"Don't want to be killed?"
Chamberlain glanced forward, and his heart suddenly trembled greatly.
The eyes of these soldiers in front of them were as ferocious as blood wolves, and they had an aura that looked back on death, which even the regular legions of the empire might not be able to possess.
Just like the slogan they shouted just now, they are a group of bloody wolves ready to fight at any time.
They are truly desperate for their lives.
No wonder they were able to sweep the other four companies with one company.
Is this still a recruit who has just been forcibly recruited?
Of course, there is no doubt about this. Chamberlain knew very well that no matter which side of the four famous houses this company came from, it could not be the private army of the four famous houses.
The other party will not be so generous, let alone so kind.
Involuntarily, Chamberlain focused all his attention on Murong Xiaotian's face. He wanted to see what kind of person he could lead such a tiger and wolf company.
"Which unit did you transfer to the 18th New Regiment?" Chamberlain asked while looking at Murong Xiaotian.
"Report, this subordinate is not a desperate company transferred to the 18th New Regiment from the Imperial Legion. Like all the soldiers in the company, this subordinate is a recruit recruited by the Empire."
"Recruit? How is it possible? A recruit who has just joined the army will have the rank of second lieutenant?" Chamberlain's eyes showed unusual surprise.
"The military ranks of my subordinates were personally assigned by the eldest princess when they enlisted in the army," Murong Xiaotian answered loudly.
Especially the word "big princess", the answer was extremely loud.
Grandma, if you pretend to be the eldest princess's confidant, you might get special care.
What's more, Murong Xiaotian didn't lie. He, the second lieutenant company commander, was indeed appointed by the eldest princess to be airborne.
"That's it! What's your name?"
"I am a thief!"
Damn, my beautiful image was completely ruined by such a nickname.
In fact, since arriving in the ancient continent, any NPC soldier here has no display on his head. Murong Xiaotian is surprised that there is such an obvious display on his head.
arrive.
However, there is such a difference between me and them, and there is no NPC soldier. Is it strange?
Forget it, this is the way of heaven, and many things are unreasonable.
