Viteg was also a young man. He thought that he was nothing worse than Schweiyinge except his background. Whether in the Great Sui Dynasty or in the Oplu Empire, the emperor's promotion of young generals was actually mainly based on his background. In the face of dozens of military achievements and a good background, the emperor's choice was often the latter.

Both young talents and aristocratic young people have much higher starting points than poor families.

This involves many interests, not because the emperor is stupid. For example, if a child from a poor family joins the army and fails to die in the battlefield for hundreds of battles and has good luck, perhaps his name will be known and promoted by the emperor, but if his name cannot be mentioned in the emperor's ears for a while, then it will be forgotten.

The children of noble families are different. As long as they are young and have a name, their family will naturally make the emperor remember this name early.

Moreover, the emperor also needs to give enough benefits to those nobles.

There is no fairness to say. The fame and fortune that cannot be exchanged for immortality may have been born. Viteg was born from a small aristocratic family in the Oplu Empire. Although he would not be like the poor family, no matter how hard he fought, he would not climb up, but he would need an opportunity to take another step.

Unlike people from big families like Shi Weiyinge, he can look at the poor children fighting to the death on the battlefield with contempt, but have to put his head in front of people like Shi Weiyinge. Most of the middle and lower-level officers of the Oplu Empire army were from small families like him, and each family had some background, but it was absolutely difficult to reach the top. Therefore, they needed to stay by the big families and wait for the opportunity to leak out of the gaps in the fingers of the big families at all times.

Just as the emperor wants to win over those big families, the big families also need to make some small contributions from time to time to win over those small families.

This is the composition of the interest groups in the Oplu Empire.

Witteg knew that Schweiinger would not lie to him because he knew Schweiinger's personality very well. Such a arrogant person would disdain to speak without keeping his word. Moreover, as a young general who wanted to seize the command of Chouluns, Schweiinger also needed the support and love of his subordinates.

But then again, since it was something that was given by Schweiyinge, Schweiyinge got more affirmation because of this.

In just half an hour, Viteg took his team to leave the camp and quietly lurked in the dense forest of high slopes about five miles away from the camp. If the Han people really wanted to attack at night, this place would be a must-pass place. Viteg never thought that such great contribution would fall on him. As Shi Weiyinge said, as long as his name was mentioned in the memorial to His Majesty the Emperor, his future would be bright.

This is a very suitable place for setting up ambush. The roads pass through high slopes. The foreign army ambushed on the high slopes have absolute advantages in medium and long-range weapons. As long as the Han people pass by here, Viteg is confident that it will turn this place into a Shura hell. The battle with the Han people over the past few days has forced Viteg to admire the fighting spirit of the Han people, but he firmly believes that the Han people cannot become the final winner.

The huge gap in weapons gives them an absolute advantage.

Of course, this advantage was lowered as much as possible in front of the Black Flag Army. The Black Flag Army was an army that exceeded the limits of foreign people's imagination. Before meeting the Black Flag Army, people from the Oplu Empire never thought that the Han people would also have organized troops equipped with advanced firearms.

However, the Black Flag Army's firearm battalion could not form a direct confrontation with them in terms of force, which was a bit more reassuring. Another thing that made them feel troubled was the light cavalry that came and went like the wind. The Black Flag Army's cavalry had a very special tactical system, just like a pack of wolves, rushing out from time to time and biting for a while, then turning around and leaving, making them miserable.

Therefore, Viteg firmly believed that if the Han people were going to attack at night tonight, the cavalry would definitely be sent, and only that cavalry could have such a fast speed and could quickly withdraw after a battle. Of course, there would be many practitioners who could not understand the people of the Oplu Empire to participate in the war.

So far, the most shocking thing to foreigners is the Han practitioners.

Those damn cultivators have abilities that are far beyond normal people. Once they are blocked by muskets on the battlefield, it will undoubtedly be a nightmare for the soldiers of the Oplu Empire army. Those cultivators can fight ten or even one against a hundred.

Those who can deal with those practitioners can only be musket teams with special equipment. But the number of such musket teams is just like the comparison between ordinary people and practitioners among the Han people. In this army with at least 100,000 people, the number of special musket teams that can deal with practitioners is no more than 800.

These eight hundred people were guards given to Schweiinger by Emperor Leman.

Viteg looked back at the fifty arrogant musketeers behind him. Looking at the clothes that were no different from ordinary musketeers, Viteg felt a little moved. If this mission had not been special and important, Schweiinger would not have assigned him fifty magic destroyers.

The people of the Oplu Empire called Han practitioners the devil.

In their opinion, these people are all people who have been given power by the devil. The Demon Breaking Musket Team is the only way for the Oplu Empire to deal with cultivators. This mysterious Musket Team was built by Emperor Leman himself, and the number of people is extremely confidential. However, it is said that there are no more than five generals protected by the Demon Breaking Musket Team on the entire battlefield. Of course, these five people will distribute the Demon Breaking Musket Team to their important subordinates.

Therefore, in this war, the death rate of middle and lower-level officers of the Oplu Empire has always been very high. Those Han practitioners have learned how to identify officers, so on the battlefield, middle and lower-level officers are the targets of those practitioners. Looking at these fifty demon-breaking musketeers, Viteg felt a little more at ease.

It's already dark.

He sniffed, as if he smelled a bloody smell.

So he was a little excited. When he thought that his name would appear in front of Emperor Leman after this victory, the excitement made him unable to control himself. His heart was beating wildly. This feeling was even more nervous and exciting than when he forced a maid from his family to close the garden when he was fifteen years old and tear her clothes to pieces.

Viteg found himself making a huge mistake.

Before the war began, he firmly believed in every word Schweiinger said to him. Because he knew Schweiinger's ambitions and knew that Schweiinger needed someone like him to be a loyal subordinate. He never thought that he would become a stepping stone on Schweiinger's road to promotion.

Abandoned son

When he noticed it seemed too late.

The Han people did attack at night, and the light cavalry that was invincible was indeed coming. But the war seemed to be a little wrong from the beginning.

According to the habit of the Han army advancing, Viteg knew that the team of cavalry coming from the front was a whistle detective. Once there was any movement in front, the scouts would immediately issue warnings, and the large group of people behind would stop. So when they saw a team of about a few hundred people coming, Viteg ordered not to shoot.

He kept the soldiers quiet enough, even without breathing heavily. As a qualified general, Viteg knew that the decision of the victory or defeat on the battlefield was often a small detail. If he ignored something, then fate might play a cruel joke with him.

Fortunately, today is the crescent moon.

The moonlight was very clear, and Viteg could see the cavalry team of hundreds of people passing by on the high slope. All he had to do was wait, waiting for the large group of people behind him. As long as those cavalry entered the range, this terrain was definitely the best cemetery for the cavalry.

No matter how fast the cavalry is, it is not so easy to rush up the high slope. Cavalry that loses the advantage of speed is not as high as infantry defense. Infantry can also lie down to avoid the baptism of bullets, and the cavalry on horseback is like targets.

The development of things began as Viteg expected, until he discovered that the cavalry team suddenly stopped after entering the ambush circle, and then the hundreds of cavalry that had passed before ran back. Not long after, the Han light cavalry actually began to turn around, and it seemed that they were going to retreat.

At this moment, Viteg received Schweiinger's military order.

"At any cost, we will hold back the Han light cavalry and support will come later. The encirclement of this light cavalry is about to be completed."

When he received this military order, Viteg had no doubts. Because this was a tactic that had been discussed in advance. Once the Han cavalry entered the ambush circle, as soon as the battle started, Shi Weiyinge would personally lead troops to support and complete the encirclement. Although the Han light cavalry did not enter the ambush circle, Shi Weiyinge was obviously confident of eating this team.

So, Viteg ordered the shooting without any hesitation.

The musketeers on the high slope began to shoot at the cavalry, but because the distance was too far, the lethality of the Han people was very small. Witteg thought of Schweiinger's military order and his future, and gritted his teeth and ordered a charge. Then the soldiers rushed down from the high slopes on both sides and began to attack a cavalry team.

If Viteg had not been blinded by his fantasy of a bright future, he might have discovered the weirdness of this war. As a general who had led troops for many years, why did Schweiinger order the soldiers to attack a light cavalry at any cost?

Unfortunately, it was too late for Viteg to react.

When he was enlightened, it was because of the support he was waiting for. The so-called soon-to-be-complete encirclement of the Han cavalry that Shi Weiyinge told him did not appear at all.

"how so!"

He looked at the broken team in front of him who were killed by the Han cavalry, and his eyes were filled with sadness and despair.

"General!"

The soldiers who sent back to ask for help rushed back, and the sweat and dust on his face mixed together made him look particularly embarrassed.

"We're fooled!"

In the soldier's eyes, despair was stronger than Viteg.

"I just ran back to the camp to ask for help, and found that the army was lined up on the flat ground three miles behind us. I rushed over and asked them why they were not here to support, but no one paid attention to me. Later I realized that this was simply a plan by General Schweiyinge, and we were all victims of this plan. General Schweiyinge had no intention of sending troops to support us. He had personally brought his troops to attack Phoenix Platform!"

The soldier's voice was hoarse, as if he was torn through his throat by anger and sadness: "A soldier familiar with me told me that General Shiweiyinge asked us to ambush here in order to restrain the most powerful cavalry of the Han people. Then General Shiweiyinge took advantage of the opportunity of the Han people's cavalry leaving the city and launched an attack on Phoenix Platform. The troops lined up behind us were to prevent us from escaping."

"This is impossible!"

Viteg roared, grabbed the soldier's collar, and his eyes turned red: "The Marquis promised me that he would personally lead his troops to support him!"

"General"

The soldier said desperately: "Have you not discovered it yet, we have been abandoned. General Shiweiyinge's target was not this cavalry at all, but the Phoenix Platform. When we came out, he had personally led a large group of troops out of the camp from the other side, and rushed to the Phoenix Platform faster than us. And our only purpose here is to use our lives to hold back the Han cavalry."

Phoenix Platform is too small.

It cannot tolerate a 100,000-strong Black Flag Army.

Therefore, the Black Flag Army camp outside Fenghuangtai City is the main target of Shi Weiyinge this time.

Viteg opened his mouth and felt a sweet and fishy sound coming from his throat.

With a puff, he vomited a lot of blood.
