Mercenaries Under the Sky

Gu Bing Shuyun: "Hanyang, the important town in the hinterland of Eminor. Surrounding Hanyang, water is on all sides, south is Sanggan, north is Hanshui, east is Langlang, and west is Tiger City."

This sentence describes the critical location of Hanyang City brilliantly. The location of the city was originally the confluence of Hanshui River and Sanggan River. The two large rivers and the natural port Langlang Lake on the east side make the water lanes in the city vertical and horizontal, and the spring mouth is more than 1,600. Hanyang has become a city of boats, and there are no fewer than 10,000 ships in the city. The Clippers have more than 500 ships, and the inland rivers, lakes and lakes have the top seven war zones.

"The Hanyang, the Sanggan, the Sanggan, the hinterland plain." The importance of this city can be squeezed into the top three at least in the Sanggan River Basin.

Note: Tiger City and the moat (river).

——Chapter 42 of the Shanhai Jing, the running dog general Chi Aotian expeditionary army defeated the town after a **** defeat, and looking at the situation in the Eminor mainland, the West Emperor Group had an absolute advantage at this stage.

Although General Chi Hantong divided his troops south and built the Twin Cities on the flat land, these two cities only brought some variables to the original mercenary Empire war situation. They have not yet affected the local war situation immediately, let alone the mainland. The battle situation, in a sense, the establishment of the Twin Cities is a double-edged sword, and the mercenary forces scattered in various places are concentrated together, although it will form a fist and form a local advantage, but at the same time, the Farnos Eastern Army is far away. The incoming division troops were also liberated, and then gathered around the Twin Cities to form a siege.

In addition to this local area, war situations across the mainland fell to the Western Emperor Group: Hamburg City as a strategic unit has forever disappeared on the map, and since then, the Amy Empire has no more dangerous castles above the A level on the north side of the mainland. . The 300,000 iron Majin Ge's sturdy soldiers gathered on the east and west sides of the Jielin Theater, just like a nutcracker flashing blue paint, and the middle of the clip is the Jielin Theater commanded by Marshal Chi Datong. The theater together with the swordsman battalion, reserve, and mercenaries totaled only 100,000. The Thirty Iron Army joined the border forest, just as a small staff member of the Western Emperor's Staff Headquarters called Takenaka Hanwei said: Use his full body strength and swing a 90-pound hammer to ensure that a quail egg is smashed. This sentence truly reflects the feelings of all the Xidijun army officers from the top to the bottom of the Battle of Jielin at that time. 300,000 elite against 100,000 troops, there is no reason to be invincible, even in the face of Chi Aotian's expedition, The battle of twisting the waist can certainly be staged again.

The morale of the Xidijun Group is unmatched for a while, especially for middle and senior officers. The idea of ​​"defining winning or losing in the First World War, fighting the Jielin with all one's strength, and having a good rest for months after discussing merits and rewards" is common in the mind.

In theory, this kind of thinking is definitely not an enemy of the military. At the time of the formation of the Battle of Jielin, the numbers of the territories occupied by the three parties of the Eminor mainland were compared as follows: West Emperor Group 46, Alcatraz 17, and the original forces 35. The comprehensive combat power is compared as follows: Xidijun Group 55, Alcatraz 15; original forces 30. The specific combat power of Jielin Theater is compared as follows: Eastern Fanos Army 41, Western Fanos Army 32, and Jielin Army 27.

On the sand table exercise map of the West Emperor's Staff Headquarters, the Battle of Jielin, known as the "ж (Nutcracker Project)", is expected to be completely ended in three months. Immediately, the two East and West groups will be renovated on the spot for 20 days. Then, the West The group went south and started fighting with the rest of the Gyeonggi theater led by Amy. The east group also went south along the border forest, attacked the important town of Tongyunguan, and surrounded the area. The army will hunt the empire holy snow mountain war zone.

The key point in this plan is that the Sanggan River War Zone can successfully attract the Amy Expeditionary Force for three months, without seeking success, but seeking nothing, and even allowing the Sanggan River War Zone Chief to give up some peripheral cities in exchange for this precious Three months. In the sand table delay, the Western Emperor ’s Staff Headquarters reached the following conclusion: With the current strength of the Sanggan River theater, even the Amy Group with the Dragon Knight, the number of employees reduced by 100 for every 30 kilometers of advancement on the mainland road, and one for each The reduction in the number of employees in small cities is 1,000. If you want to conquer medium and large cities with more than 100,000 people, it will take at least one month. The number of casualties will never be lower than 5,000. Such time and battle damage figures are enough. The staff headquarters chose the final battlefield on the front line of Hanyang City on the north bank of the Sanggan River. In the deduction of the staff headquarters, no one ever thought that Hanyang, a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, would be captured.

Since the **** night of the imperial capital, Hanyang City has been firmly controlled by the Xidijun camp.

Having become one of the most important pieces of the new dynasty, Hanyang City ’s strategic position has improved, but the city ’s vitality and people ’s living standards and the treatment of soldiers have declined a lot.

As a water and land transportation hub city, toll fees and pontoon bridge taxes have always been Hanyang ’s largest sources of income. Only this one accounted for 5% of the tax revenue of the Amy Empire. Why did the former empire's deputy minister arrange his own children's relatives here? As a local general, collecting money is also one of the most important reasons. The so-called daily fighting gold ... This kind of statement counts in Hanyang City. The head tax on the four gates of Hanyang City in the peaceful times is collected by baskets every day.

After the **** night in the city of Scambrai, the entire Eminor continent fell into war and the king's separatism, and Hanyang City's income suddenly fell to less than 3% of the original. This huge gap was immediately reflected in the city, the business was gradually declining, and the business groups laid off tens of thousands of workers in large numbers, and with it, dissatisfaction rumors continued to appear in the people. Under such circumstances, the empire's deputy had to call the best and most warlike "Running Dog General" Count Rabaton in his system to guard this strategic location.

Speaking of Count Rabaton, it is an absolute alien among the many senior generals of the Imperial Army.

The vast majority of the Imperial Generals' promotion paths can be divided into three different camps. The largest proportion is the knight school. They graduated from the three major knight schools of the empire. After entering the army, they started from middle and low-level officers, and eventually stepped up to become senior generals. Most of them are children of the imperial family; officers from the empire civilians They are taking the second path, starting from the lowest-level soldiers, steadily accumulating war achievements, and gradually advancing with their own strength, and eventually becoming a general supported by their subordinates. Although this group is difficult to have a handsome staff, in the big Captains, squadron leaders, and squad leaders accounted for 1/2 of the top ranks; there are a small number of officers who are slowly becoming senior officers with a civilian officer system such as staff, operations, and planning. This type of officer is often good at it. It is the wisdom that people often say. The officers of the three camps are also the main components of Eudemons Knight, therefore, Eudemons Knight is not treated as a separate system.

The life-time Earl of Rebarton was completely different. He was originally an obscure shepherd in the domain of the Marquis of Delaware. It certainly was not the kind of strong man, and he could even be said to be weak.

The Messi Snow Mountain area is frequented by carnivores such as wild wolves and brown bears. During the year, at least 10% of the animals are taken away by these carnivores. As a herdsman, if such a tragedy happens frequently to the sheep or cattle under his jurisdiction, he will inevitably be punished by family managers.

When Rebarton was 14 years old, the Messian Snow Mountain fell a few heavy snows just after the fall. Two feet of snow covered the thousands of miles of mountains. The wolf and the brown bear could n’t hunt normally, even if they were frozen. Some dead animals were also covered in deep snow, and they did n’t even show a little bit of smell. The wolves were better to say something. These brown bears were going to hibernate soon. The last bite of food was left, and their eyes were hungry and red.

Dozens of hungry wolves and four or five equally dizzy bears broke into the sheep in charge of Rebaddon. These guys are estimated to be hungry, one by one, not only to eat and drink, but also to retreat in the end, every wolf has to pack and take one. As for the brown bear, it is even more annoying. These big guys are estimated to ensure their own quality of hibernation. There is a sheep in his mouth, two on his shoulders, and a small village hum in his mouth: 3-5- 6－3－5 －－ ， 6－5－－3－－1 －－－－－ It looks like a "Return of Target" triumphant look.

When such a thing happens, no matter how charitable it is, it is impossible to let it go. Even if there is a pitiful heart in it, it is impossible not to punish it. Otherwise, if you encounter such a thing again, do n’t all the animals on the mountain have to be sang and dancing Into the mouth of the beast? The young boy Rabaton was severely beaten on the ground and was fined for a year.

The 14-year-old boy immediately showed his genius. The teenager who gritted his teeth first put all the separated sheep in the sheepfold, and became hungry for two days. Then I asked the old shepherd to borrow the wolf skin, sprinkle the salt water on the most delicious fresh grass, and then put the fresh grass in the wolf skin, filling the look of the wolf and bear. The goat saw these carnivores began to be very scared, but was very hungry, and then found that these carnivores did not seem to attack themselves, and smelled the delicious aroma of food in their bodies, could not help being hungry, so they tried to use the horns to pick out the wolf skin, Wow-I finally got the food ... hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this sandwich tastes good too, and the sheep began to pay tribute.

Rebaton looked at the door, and then began to increase the smell of the animal itself on the wolf skin and bear skin. Finally, he simply replaced the freshly picked wolf skin with fresh grass to train the sheep's guts.

The young man's heart was very careful. He was worried that once a wolf was encountered, if the sheep were first killed by the wolf, the whole sheep would be nervous. He used the stone-throwing method to direct the flock to charge in a neat phalanx-from a distance it even looked like a regular knight. Moreover, sick wolves and residual wolves are found to let the flocks practice their hands. Once the wolves are killed, the flocks are rewarded with salt water. In the process, he specially found several famous giant white bear dogs to graze the flock. This kind of dog is much larger than the average dog, and it looks much like the snow wolf on the frozen continent. Not afraid of wolves at all, even if they meet a brown bear, they dare to rush to bite. Usually used to look after the flock, while training use the whistle to command the big white bear to bite the disobedient sheep into the flock charge.

A child who is only 10 years old directs the flock to do this, and the adults are too lazy to pay attention. Even if they see it, at most it is regarded as their own entertainment. The children like to ride horses to fight, and they will never remember this matter. In my heart.

However, since then, Rabaton ’s flock has never been lost due to beast attacks. In an encounter with 20 wild wolves, more than 150 sheep actually killed 16 wild wolves with their unsharp horns One winter, Rabaton harvested more than 30 wolves with the flock. The Rabaton is small, and his mouth is quite strict. No one said these things to anyone-in fact, it is a child who is greedy for money. If you talk about this, you must be in charge of it immediately. Fall, add something to yourself.

In the end, the paper could not cover the fire.

When Rebarton was 18 years old, in the fourth year of quietly making a fortune for three years, the ranch was relocated, and it had to cross 400 miles before and after. Considering that there are often thieves in the mountainous areas, the Lord Marquis ’s master in charge Specially invited a D-class mercenary regiment to protect the whole process.

It is a good idea to ask the mercenary regiment to guard, but unfortunately, the master in order to save money, hired a low-level mercenary regiment, a total of more than 120 mercenaries. The little thieves were scared away along the way, but in the end they attracted the "steel claw", one of the largest thieves in the Messian Snow Mountain. Tiezizi is both the name of the thief group and the nickname of Robin Hood, the head of the thief group. As the name implies, it means that wherever the thief group goes, it is like the iron grille to wipe all the things that can be held.

More than 400 thieves ganged up against more than 120 mercenary corps, and they set up ambushes in a decent way. The prepared thieves were all cut down.

Rabaton was anxious-so many thieves rushed over, and even if they let themselves go, they would surely **** all the flocks away. The teenager didn't want to be greeted by cane on his buttocks. In this way, the red-eyed teenager confronted the thieves with a large array of sheep dogs used to hunt wild wolves.

In the past three years, Commander Rabaton's flock has developed rapidly because it has not been persecuted by those poor beasts. There are more than 500 big and small sheep and more than 60 great white bears.

The grilled thieves group defeated the mercenary group and thought it was all right. The thieves hummed "pigs, sheeps, where to send it ... to the dear grilled iron ... hey ... hey ... hey Yo ... ", ready to pull up the flock. The result ... What surprised them most was that this large group of sheep did not run around like other flocks, but lined up neatly, with 20 in a row, with big sheep and rams in front and lambs in the back , "One, two, three, four, tango, tango ... just walk, two steps down one head, four steps and one corner ..." came over step by step-just reported by himself.

The thieves were so happy that the Harars were all flowing out. This was too much trouble. At first glance, they knew how many sheep there were in the flock, and it was easy to distribute them when they turned around. Where did they guess that these well-behaved sheep were thinking of the delicious grass while flowing Harald while using the opportunity of pacing to adjust the formation to the best attack state.

Just as the thieves opened their arms cheerfully and prepared to come up with the spoils, the snow-white flock suddenly ran in a whistle, and 40 long horns in a row were in a row, leaving no gap in the middle. These sheep were originally used to deal with wolves, how fast wolves, thieves can compare. The wolves have been defeated, what is this thief?

What the thieves couldn't think of was that the height of these adult rams was right at the waist of the man, and the head was buried, and the two horns were extended forward.

Especially the width between the two horns does n’t feel like it was designed to resist fierce carnivores, but it is tailored to reduce human reproduction ability. The dozens of thieves in the front ate the loss without even having the time to shout. No matter how the two horns poked, no matter whether they would cross one leg, at least one of them would appear between the two legs ...

This row of mountain-like horns continuously test the vital parts of human beings such as piercing, piercing, piercing, picking, squeezing, etc .... The first thirty or so thieves fainted directly without even saying a word ...

The thieves at the back immediately found the secret, threw the weapon in his hand and turned his head to run ... This ... It seems that the thieves brothers are still very smart, and while running, they buckled their shields on their buttocks. Directly snap the pot up-the front is the key, the back is actually the same. In case it gets stuck in the horn ... the food won't smell good ... the thieves are still very strange, what are these sheep doing? You stick it, you have a pain, you can bear it ... Why do you have to pluck it in and out, even if you have to pick it out and see ... There is something nice in this **** ? Many thieves did not want to understand this truth until they died.

As a result, except for more than 60 thieves, they climbed into the tree one by one, all the other thieves were put down, nearly 20% of the thieves died at the foot of sheep, and finally, only more than 100 thieves ran away.

Rabaton became famous in one battle! After obtaining the approval of the Lord Marquis, he changed from a shepherd to a semi-professional soldier in the territory, and even held the title of junior officer. Tens of days later, a group of men rubbing their buttocks and directly below their stomachs found Rebate, led by Robin Hood, according to Robin Hood: "As a professional thief, my party and I have never been afraid of death and injury, but ... Your behavior in the past few days still frightened me and other thieves. In order to avoid being hurt by your flock again, it is not as good as to surrender to you and be able to have a bite to eat. By the way, we can guarantee that we will pass on the line.

Such a legend is not necessarily credible, but it is an iron fact that Robin Hood, the thief, and his subordinates finally took refuge in Rebaton.

Later, after many conflicts with different bands of thieves, Rebaton eventually obtained the position of deputy commander of the Marquis Family Territory Guard, and had the title of family baron. Then, in order to have his own power in the army, the former deputy prime minister recommended Rabaton to serve in the army, and eventually became a famous general. Of course, the soldiers under Rabaton are no longer animals, but the derogatory nickname of General Running Dog is still called down.

What makes the soldiers quite difficult to understand is that the famous zoologist of later generations, Mr. Darwin, actually got great inspiration from this war. In his book "The Evolution of Species", he identified: For the flocks living in the mountains, for thousands of years, the biggest enemies are definitely not wolves and brown bears or golden eagles, but human beings, otherwise ... The flocks have worked hard for thousands of years of evolution What about the two most important weapons against humanity? Cough ... alas ... if there are heroes under Marshal Lebaton Nine Springs ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ I do n’t know if I should laugh or cry when I see such an article?

Leaving aside these past history, when General Rebaton had just held General Sanggan River's seal, he looked at the panic of many officers below, and then looked at most ordinary soldiers and low-ranking officers who did not know which one to serve. His Majesty the King, and moreover, most citizens have starved hostility in the eyes. There are soldiers walking on the street, and there must be children behind to spit.

Lord General is indeed very big. If you continue to develop like this, you do n’t have to wait for other troops to come over. As long as His Majesty Redstone sends a civilian officer to raise his arm here, these people might rush into the general ’s house and tie themselves up Contribute to the small gift of His Majesty Red Stone.

The command from the imperial capital is that if Huairou's strategy cannot be adopted, then force suppression is also a relatively safe method. For very unstable cities with important geographical locations, if necessary, the means may be more violent. To apply the words of the former Vice-President of the Empire: Use heavy code in troubled times.

Not to say the master: everyone readers are great, everyone. In the past two months or so, I took over a new online game product and was so busy that sometimes I could only sleep at 3 or 4 o'clock for several days. Therefore, the progress of the mercenaries was seriously delayed.

Please forgive me.

The mercenary's first and second volumes are mail-ordered. At present, the books of five readers have been returned. I will post them in the afternoon.

I will post the mail order list of the third and fourth volumes of mercenaries. The fourth book has not been printed yet-the edition number of the publishing house is relatively tight, so it was delayed for a few days.

In addition, according to news from the publishing house, mercenary publications are getting better and better. For example, Northeast China, Yunnan and other places have patched up. Here, thank you readers for their continuous support over the years.
