Chapter 4 Skirmishes (1)

After receiving the secret report from the angels in the rebels, the commander of the Wangdai Legion, who had not yet taken office, only did two things: one was to eat and ate a few slices of dry bread; the other was to take a short nap, for a full hour.

The general who got up from the bed struggled to wear a full uniform and cursed and greeted the tailors who designed the uniform. According to him, the damn military uniform was indeed powerful, but it was too difficult to wear. In the past, two orderly soldiers were serving by their side, but now they work on their own. Andrew, who was cursing, vowed to transform the military uniforms of the Republic by himself, but as the deputy minister of the army, he seemed to have this power.

15 minutes later, General Andrew, dressed in military uniform and energetic, climbed onto his mount and led Xia De and the subsequent cavalry to the prepared battlefield. Only more than 30 guards were left to protect the military medical officer and Ravashi, and monitored other villagers to prevent anyone from informing him.

The battlefield was chosen between grass slopes not far from the village. The view here is wide, and standing on a low hill, you can look down at the surroundings. Within a few thousand meters, except for a few sparse poplar trees dotted on the grassland, there is no other shelter, which is especially suitable for cavalry formations and charges. There is a tortuous country road on the grassland, which is the only way to lead to the village of Rogtri and is also the scheduled route for the rebels to "sneak attack" the village.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Andrew rushed over with the guards camp and met with Lieutenant Colonel Dawu who had been arranged here. Everyone was quietly hiding under the slope facing the village. General Andrew, who had come down from the grass slope, suddenly found that his beard was growing again, and his handsome face was covered with beards.

"Damn beard, I have been here after more than 200 years. I haven't grown any skills, but I have grown a beard first. Well, I don't know if I have eaten too much dry bread. I really miss the taste of rice!" Andrew muttered, and took out the small mirror and razor from the horse's bag, and started to work with it leisurely.

The habit of shaving before the battle originated from the way to Paris. The guards were used to it, but Lieutenant Colonel Dawu had some complaints. That was because he understood the danger of the current situation. All the soldiers and civilians in Laroche were eagerly looking forward to the general commanding them to fight. At this time, Commander Andrew was better. Not only was he slow to march, he also deliberately lured a small group of enemies to take the bait, fighting a battle that had nothing to do with the overall situation. Dawu was extremely angry and could not calm down his anger. He walked forward and said to the general who had not yet shaved his beard:

"General, IMHO, why don't you order not to take the initiative?"

"Yeah, let me tell you the reason!" The general ignored him and continued to complete his shaving work.

"The form of Laroche City is extremely urgent. The general must rush to the front line as soon as possible and preside over the overall situation. The rebels in front of him are all infantry, with poor combat effectiveness. They lack discipline and do not know how to arrange troops and arrange troops. They are useless except not afraid of death. After the heavy rain, the rebels' ammunition has completely failed and is useless at all. They only come to die with the sabre and long fork in their hands. The general's cavalry only needs one charge, one charge, and can kill them all. Why waste time here and do unnecessary waiting?" Andrew's lazy expression made Dawu extremely angry and full of disappointment.

"I know."

"Then why not?"

"Xia De, come here, tell me." The general saw Lieutenant Colonel Xia De who was watching the joke on his side from the mirror, and immediately recruited him to come over.

"Haha, brothers Dawu, General Andrew has always been like this. The general doesn't want his soldiers and horses to be too tired, and..." The honest Xia De didn't dare to say anything further.

Andrew, who finally completed the face mission, turned around and continued, Xia De, and continued, "And I am very lazy and like to wait and don't want to find one. According to the Chinese, I am waiting for the rabbit. Oh, the meaning is not easy to understand. Simply put, I, General Andrew, just like to stay somewhere to pick up some dead rabbits. As for the situation in Laroche City you mentioned, it is indeed very bad, but it is not out of control. Don't worry, everything is in my control. Don't worry, I will announce the commander's strategic deployment to you at the appropriate time."

This is just one of Andrew's various reasons. Second, there is another idea that can only be kept in mind at the moment, so that the angels in the rebels can have time to run away.

Having said this, Dawu gave up on his continued debate with the general and walked aside to check the soldiers' ammunition and firearms preparations.

Seeing the busy new adjutant, Andrew said to his former adjutant with some sorrow: "Xiade, your soldiers are almost Dawu's soldiers."

"That's the general's soldier, but I still like the Dawu brothers very much." The honest Masai man did not show any jealous eyes.

"Oh, that's good. I'm afraid you don't like it."

"No, I guarantee it with my own personality."

"Okay, I'm not surprised that you don't jealous of him, because I believe in your character. It's just that Dawu has exercised the duties of an officer, but has not fulfilled the responsibilities of an adjutant."

"Didn't he suggest it to you just now? This is just that the general disagrees."

"That's right, let's not talk about this. When I arrive in Laroche City, I need you to do something."

"What mission, General! Xia De promised to complete it!"

"It's nothing, I'm going to let you continue to serve as a law enforcement officer in the Legion. When in the Toulon Legion, the soldiers had good discipline and your position was basically free. When you arrive in Laroche, you will have to work hard for a while."

"As for orders, general."

"Remember, the butcher's command does not need to understand what kind of kindness is!"



The cavalry of the Republic rested under the grass slope, while the soldiers of the Royalist Party were busy rushing on the road. The forest path after the rain was muddy and slippery, and the farmers crawled bravely with the shouts of officers on horseback. They were tired and painful, without shame or mercy, and had only blind worship of God, and were extremely angry with any pagans and revolutionaries. This was their belief. For this noble belief, the farmers held the weapons in their hands tightly and prepared to use them to kill all the damn Blue Army. But no matter how hard they tried, it took nearly 2 hours from the time they had just rested in the woods and got here at the time.

The nobles riding horses were equally tired, and the delicate Phelis asked Colonel Badis ahead.

"Col. How far is it? Can you take a break?"

"It's almost done. You can see the village by climbing over the hill in front of you. Let's go there and rest."

"For God's sake, my bones are almost gone."

"Shut up, in the name of the nobles, I order you to shut up and keep moving forward!"

The old nobles scolded the young nobles and drove the horse to continue moving forward.

Two old-style kingdom officers were in charge of the rear of the entire team at the end of the team. They were also discussing, although the sound was not loud, they could still hear the fierce argument between the two.

"…Fameiyi, stop talking, I won't leave the team secretly, and I won't die!"

"Don't forget, Li Shiduoli. You were also running out of the Blues 2 years ago."

"Yes, that's a mistake I made, and now I won't make it again,"

"You are insisting on your mistakes to the end. Think about how Houster treats you. Can we successfully attack Andrew's more than 300 elite cavalry? Don't you understand that the action is just that Houster wants to take the opportunity to get rid of us, including the disobedient Badis and the wealthy Phelis."

"Stop talking about it, I am a soldier, and it is my honor to die in battle. If you want to leave, you can go by yourself, I won't blame you."

"Since that said, I hope we can see you again."
