Chapter 60: Attack at Night (Part 2)
The captains of the Cavalry Regiment nodded in agreement, but they were a little curious about how Carlo said this nonsense. If the chief commander did not command the entire army, would he still have to participate in the night attack?
However, the infantry officers who were familiar with Cons' temperament ignored Cons's bitter face and loudly agreed with Carlo's decision.
They knew very well that if Cons was allowed to participate in the night attack, their highest boss would definitely be on the front line. Although the adults had superb military power, there were always times when they missed their horses.
Isn’t it the last assassin incident? If there is something wrong with adults, it will be better for him to stay in the army.
"Sir, uh, the cavalry under his subordinates are not suitable for fighting in the mountains and forests." A corps leader saw several infantry commanders and decided on the combat plan after a few words. His cavalry had no place at all. If he had no military achievements, how could he compete for the position of team leader? Thinking of this, he plucked up his courage to speak.
Carlo winked at Cons. In fact, the combat plan was formulated by Carlo. Now, let Consilon make the position of Cons.
Understanding this, Cons nodded to Carlo gratefully, and then smiled at the cavalry officer: "Your mission is very important. Just now, the enemy situation was reported that there was an encirclement in front of the great master's team. Your mission is to bypass this forest and attack at full speed when we disperse the encirclement. "
Hearing this, all the cavalry officers widened their eyes. Could this be considered a military merit? How can the merit be distinguished by the size of the merit? Could it be that the first person to rush to the great priest have the greatest merit? Seeing the cavalry officers with dissatisfaction, Cons continued, "If the safety of the great priest can be guaranteed, you can attack the bandits in front of the great priest."
Carlo interrupted, "Everyone knows that the ambush place in front of the great priest is the prairie, which is most suitable for cavalry combat."
The cavalry officers immediately thought to themselves: "Damn! The bandits here have been destroyed by the infantry regiment. How could the great priest who is protected by a thousand cavalry are not safe? Just order us to attack another bandit army directly? Why are you so secretly doing?"
The captain of the cavalry regiment just now asked again: "Sir, I wonder if I can ask, how to calculate the military achievements this time?"
"sure."
The cavalry officers all raised their ears.
Cons thought for a while and said, "This time, the number of weapons seized and the number of enemies killed is not based on the basis of military merit, but on the number of enemy troops captured."
When most people heard this calculation method, they were stunned.
They believed that Cons' decision was that the bandit army's weapons were too bad and had little value, and the other was that the superiors were ruthless and could not bear to kill a lot.
But the cavalry officers were all frowning. They were cavalrymen, and they always calculated their merits based on the number of killing enemies. This time they actually wanted to capture the enemy? I really didn't get used to it.
Only a few people including Carlo believed that Cons was preparing to expand the army. You should know that if these bandits were willing to surrender, they would be elite soldiers as long as they were disciplined and trained.
"Remember, although I want you to capture the enemy, we must do it on the premise of ensuring your safety. I don't want to lose my life in order to capture the enemy. Also, don't capture the farmers as a prisoner. Once it is confirmed, no matter who it is, you will be demoted to soldiers." Cons looked serious.
The cavalry officers patted their chests, saying that they would not be so shameless and would supervise their colleagues not to cheat. However, they were eager for other colleagues to do so. Then they would become soldiers and be humiliated by themselves.
"Well, that's about it. Let's go back and prepare." Cons ended the pre-war meeting.
It was late at night, and the moon had been covered with a layer of white veil after staying for a night, making everything so hazy. In the haze, there was a long line on the earth moving slowly.
After nightfall, the cavalry of Cons's troops marched in another direction, while the infantry advanced quickly in front of them. The original camp of Bijing was still twenty kilometers away from the enemy.
When the marching was ten kilometers away from the enemy at night, the large army slowed down, and five thousand elite soldiers continued to move forward quickly under the leadership of the five team leaders.
In the night, a group of fluorescent spots were shaking, moving further and further away. Cons, who was watching them leave, looked up at the sky habitually.
The night is dark and the wind is high and the night is killing people.
The fluorescent juice only dripped on the soldiers' backs, so as not to shoot them as bandits.
Of course, they also have a strip of cloth dyed with fluorescent juice, which they are ready to tie on their wrists during the melee to facilitate confirmation of their identity.
If they had tied cloth strips on their wrists before they even started, then they would be living targets in the darkness of the night, and they would probably be shot and killed by the enemy before they got close.
Carlo and his troops soon arrived at the enemy's location. In this night attack, Carlo was based on a squad of ten people, but it was not completely alone. The troops could form a higher-level combat organization under the command of higher-level officers at any time.
In other words, these 5,000 people can gather or disperse, and they can become five hundred independent combat teams, and gather to be powerful brigades.
A snoring symphony came from a shelter on the hillside, and not far from the sleeping crowd, there were two night watch sentries.
Suddenly, a fire light lit up, and a middle-aged man with wrinkles on the corners of his eyes lit an object with a finger-sized and long slap in his hand. He took a sip, and then a stream of white smoke spurted out from his nostrils.
Another black shadow moved, and just as soon as the clouds that blocked the moonlight floated away. Following the moonlight, you could see that this was a black and thin young man holding a long sword that was shining with a cold light in his hand.
He looked at the strip in the middle-aged man's hand with curiosity and asked in a low voice: "Boss, is this thing really that good? Why did I suck it so hot that my nose and tears flowed, and my throat was sore?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Haha, you won't, of course it's like this. However, this cigarette is rolled from the leaves he picked, and the taste is really not very good. It is said that the best cigarette on the Eastern continent will be shipped to us, and each one will be sold for twenty gold coins." As he said that, he shook the cigarette in his hand.
"Buy a thing like this with twenty gold coins? Oh my God! I don't eat or drink for my whole life, and I don't have twenty gold coins!" said the young man astonished.
"For those nobles, what are twenty gold coins?" The middle-aged man who continued to smoke responded casually.
The young man didn't answer the conversation, yawned, stretched, and smacked his lips and said, "It's so unlucky, why is it our turn to stay at night? If I say it, there are tens of thousands of people here, who dares to provoke us...
"Boss, what are you talking about? You just kidnapped a woman, don't have to send so many people out? The food transported this time is enough for so many of us to eat for a month."
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Just kidnapped a woman? You really dare to say that he is the great priest of Qi Hong Kingdom and the beloved disciple of the True God Number Lord. Whoever dares to offend her? Hehe, I'm afraid I'm waiting to be drowned by the people of the whole country!"
"Hmph, those ordinary people dare to spit at me? I will kill them!" The young man first shouted fiercely, and then asked in confusion: "Since that woman has such a great influence, why are the big bosses still trying to make her decisions? If they were stolen as their wife, how can they divide so many big bosses? Could it be that one person has one night?"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but smile and knocked the young man on the head: "What are you talking about - have you forgotten the big boss's instructions, don't hurt her, and have to treat her well after being caught? She was caught for ransom. As her, she could at least get millions of gold coins!"
"Millions of gold coins?" The young man drooled and fantasized: "I can get a few gold coins at that time, right? I won't be able to..."
The middle-aged man did not break the fantasy of young people and smoked cigarettes all the time.
The young man who woke up from his fantasy suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, boss, what does the Eastern Continent look like?"
"I haven't been there yet, how can I tell you?" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Didn't you stayed in the harbor when you were young? You must have heard of those seafarers. Let me tell you, let me know more."
"Haha, those guys are talking in a mess, and after so long, I can't remember it clearly, just talk about it." The middle-aged man recalled it for a while before continuing, "Have you heard of Kuoqiaogang?"
"Of course I have heard that it is the largest port on the Etes continent and the largest port on our entire continent." The young man said proudly.
"That's right, when I first saw that port, I was shocked. The big ship there was taller than the city wall and the hull was larger than a small city. Countless cargo from distant continents was transported from the ship, and the cargo from our place was transported onto the ship." The middle-aged man looked touched.
When the young man saw the middle-aged man nagging and not getting into the topic, he couldn't help but reminded him dissatisfiedly: "Boss, let's talk about what's in the East Continent, right?"
"Why are you anxious? Tell you that there are top-quality cigarettes, precious spices, beautiful cloth with smooth skin in this virgin girl, white as snow, as thin as silk, they are called porcelain treasures, and... Hello, have you heard me? Where are you?"
The middle-aged man found that the young man looked up and looked up, and couldn't help but look up.
In the dark night sky, a red light quickly took off, and the young man muttered to himself in a daze: "What is this?"
The middle-aged man immediately stood up and scolded, "Damn it! It's the Rocket! It's the enemy...uh!"
