18th century total war

Chapter 220 Two and five sons (two in one chapter)

"You... what are you going to do?!"

Oli shivered all over his body, and he didn't know if he was poured by cold water, so he covered his most important baby with both hands with lightning speed!
Well, cover it tightly, even if there are two men of the same sex with rough faces in front of you.

Two strong men with chests full of black chest hair looked at Oli's movements like a frightened chick, smiled tacitly at each other, and asked in unison:
"Are you willing to surrender?"

"surrender?
We lost?

impossible!
We are cavalry, you are infantry, the number is not as many as ours, how could we fail..."

The more he spoke, the softer the voice Ollie gave, and he gradually recovered from the blow of being naked all over his body, and gradually sorted out his thoughts.

If his team hadn't been defeated, how could he have fallen to this point?
Oli glanced at the patrolling Levi rebel soldiers in the distance, and his expression suddenly became gloomy. He just covered his important parts with his hands, without any intention of letting go.

"Got it?
I heard that you gang of revolutionary rebels are willing to die for freedom, equality and fraternity. Among the prisoners we captured, there were a few soldiers who couldn't think about it, and would rather commit suicide than surrender.

Our lord Li Wei is a very benevolent nobleman, so he has issued an opinion to respect the suicide of prisoners.

You can tell our two brothers now, are you willing to be a prisoner or die for the revolutionary righteousness in your mouth?

Oh no, using your adjectives it should be called... sacrifice? "

After the word 'sacrifice' was finished, the two burly men laughed unabashedly.

In the eyes of these two garrison soldiers, using sacrifices to whitewash death is only something that shameless revolutionary party can think of.

However, the two also knew that the reason why the revolutionary rebellious party was able to fool so many people into dying for the so-called revolutionary righteousness was precisely because their propaganda slogans were indeed quite seductive and breathtaking.

Not only the soldiers of the two garrison regiments think so, but the bureaucrats of the Li Wei regime all admire the propaganda and public opinion offensive of the French revolutionary government. In this era, the French revolutionary government is at the forefront of fooling the common people. No. 1!
"You two, even if you want to persuade me to surrender, you don't have to take off all my clothes. I'm not a beautiful woman..."

"Hey, aren't we thinking about recycling waste.

If you don't agree to surrender, you will die sooner or later. Why don't you make some contributions before you die, and your life will not be in vain. "

When Oli heard the next sentence, he covered his hands tighter. The revolutionary righteousness in his mind had long been frightened and disappeared, and his head kept nodding up and down like a chicken.

"do not!

Since you are willing to accept prisoners of war, I will definitely not seek death. Don't worry, can you return the clothes to me now? "

The two strong men looked at Ollie who had been taken away, and one of them was puzzled: "Why did the chiefs of the Black Dragon Legion let us do this?

Even if Ollie is the supreme commander of the raid team, there is no need to strip him of his clothes to scare him. "

"Who knows.

Everyone in the black dragon army has brain problems, but they have extrajudicial privileges and kill people without blinking an eye. It's better not to provoke them, we listen to what they say and do it.

Fighting with those Black Dragon Legion soldiers, I feel uncomfortable all over, I am afraid that the Black Dragon Legion soldiers next to me will shoot me sometime. "

“What I’m saying is that the people of the Black Dragon Legion are brutal and ruthless.

But they are really not afraid of death in battle. In the previous battle, I saw with my own eyes a private soldier of the Black Dragon Legion who was not yet 18 years old, holding a bayonet straight up, and collided with the light cavalry who was charging.

Although the light cavalryman was finished, the private soldier of the Black Dragon Legion was knocked deformed and died a miserable death.

Until his death, the private soldier of the Black Dragon Legion didn't even wailed, and even shouted to be loyal to Lord Li Wei, just like a lunatic!
No wonder the French revolutionary government can't beat our Lord Li Wei, who has the Black Dragon Legion under his hands, and it is impossible to be defeated in France! "

"Keep your voice down, don't let the murderous soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion hear, or they will come to make trouble, and your life may not be saved!"

Ollie, with a miserable face, and a group of prisoners of war who were also dejected, were guarded by a group of soldiers from the Black Dragon Legion and escorted towards Toulouse.

Behind them followed the original logistics team.

Only then did Ollie know that he was the only one who had been stripped of his clothes!
But having said that, Ollie felt weird to himself. After that frightening experience, Ollie suddenly found that it was a good thing to linger on like this.

At least, so far, we haven't seen any incidents of black dragon army soldiers mistreating captives.

Not long after, Ollie met Li Wei.

Before Ollie could figure out why a big man like Li Wei met such a defeated general like him, an administrative enlightenment fell down, and Ollie immediately became Li Wei's licking dog.

That night, Ollie, who was released, took several captives and confidants and escaped from the prisoner of war camp in the dark.

Afterwards, Ollie began to use the contact signal prepared in advance to gather the subordinates who had previously collapsed.

Within a few days, these desperate subordinates found the backbone and gathered under Ollie's command.

Then, Ollie led these dozens of remnants, crossed the defense line of the first division of the Black Dragon Army, and returned to the main position of the Southern Army of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army!
At this time, Commander Kleiber was troubled by the inability to break through the front line of the First Division's main position, which was like an iron wall!

When Kleber learned that the light cavalry commander Ollie who had infiltrated the rear had escaped with dozens of remnants and wanted to see him, he became furious and asked someone to bring Ollie back. The remnants of the soldiers were all under control, and Ollie was brought to him like a criminal!
Ollie looked at Kleber's familiar face and couldn't help but think of Kleber's radiant and confident look at the swearing-in meeting.

It is in stark contrast to the decadent appearance that is about to be bald now.

Obviously, the recent battle has made Kléber extremely anxious.

"Ollie, you ruined the cavalry we managed to infiltrate, and you still have the face to escape?
I want to hear how you want to explain it to me yourself. "

"General, my failure this time is due to black... In the logistics transport team of Li Wei's rebel army, the main elite soldiers of Karl's first division appeared. The Black Dragon Battle Banner, that's why our raid failed...

However, the despicable and cunning Li Wei rebels can only use this strategy once. I have already discovered the essential difference between ordinary garrison soldiers and Black Dragon Legion soldiers, and I will never be fooled again next time! "

"Hehe, do you still want to have a next time?
Do you think that if you make such a serious mistake, will I let you continue to lead the army? "

"General, please listen to my explanation!
I came back this time because I found a secret passage large enough for a large number of cavalry to pass through.

Moreover, there are not many defenders of the Black Dragon Legion there, at most there are only a few sentry posts. With the speed of cavalry, they can easily pass through. Even if the main force of the Black Dragon Legion finds out, it is too late to stop them.

My mistake in this battle also made me realize that the troops behind Li Wei's rebellious regime are tight. Even when they set up traps and ambushes, only half of the soldiers in the entire logistics team were elite soldiers from the Black Dragon Army in disguise, and the rest of the soldiers were still on guard. Soldiers of the regiment.

This shows that Li Wei is simply unable to send a large number of elite soldiers from the Black Dragon Legion to maintain his logistics line.

As long as I bring a large number of cavalry into the rear of Li Wei's rebel regime this time, I am sure to completely cut off the logistics line of the main force of Li Wei's rebel army!

At that time, the Li Wei rebels on the front line will not have enough black powder, so they will not be able to give full play to their tactical advantages. The victory will definitely belong to the National Salvation Revolutionary Army and the great French Republic! "

Kleber suppressed the anger on his face. Some of the information that Oli told him had been confirmed by the remnants of the soldiers, and none of them were false, except for the secret passage that Oli told him.

But this time Ollie was able to walk out with dozens of remnants of soldiers, and Ollie had the wandering experience of escaping from a prisoner-of-war camp. It is not impossible to really know a loosely-armed passage.

After all, the main force of the Black Dragon Legion of Li Wei's rebel army is not many, and it is impossible to explore all the terrain clearly. The ability to infiltrate hundreds of light cavalry before is to capture the defect of the main force of Li Wei's rebel army.

But now those infiltration passages have been blocked, and those passages were not the main roads for large troops, so it is difficult to infiltrate to the rear of Li Wei's rebels.

If Ollie hadn't lied, the plan might have worked.

It is also the only way to break the situation of the Southern Group of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army.

Kleber is very aware of the difficulties faced by the Paris National Salvation Revolutionary Army in the rear. Every additional day the frontline battle is delayed, the crisis of collapse in the rear will be further advanced!
Now that Kleber had all the troops attacking the main position of Li Wei's rebels, the high morale at the beginning had long been worn down, and the large number of casualties was enough to weaken the encouraging effect of revolutionary slogans.

Even if the preacher walks through various troops every day, he can barely maintain the basic morale from collapsing.

Now even the number of main offensives is decreasing, because every major offensive will cause a large number of casualties, which will deal a heavy blow to the morale of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army.

If this delay continues, I am afraid that the Southern Group Army will really lose the last bit of offensive strength.

"How many people can pass through that passage."

"My lord, if I lead the team, a cavalry division will not be a problem at all!"

"A cavalry division?!"

Kleber stood up abruptly, his eyes shining brightly.

If it is really possible to send a cavalry division into the rear of the Li Wei rebels, as long as they are not a bunch of pigs, they will definitely be able to cut off all the logistics supply lines of the Li Wei rebels.

is all!
At that time, even if the main force of Karl's first division cannot be gathered and wiped out, it can still force the main force of Karl's first division to retreat, and it will not be a problem to force them back into Toulouse.

At that time, the strategic initiative will all fall into the hands of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army!

However, is Ollie worthy of trust?
Kleber looked up at the serious-looking Olige, and couldn't help recalling the past about the other party in his mind.

As a leader among middle-level officers, Kalebel had a pretty good impression of Ollie.

With a clean background, he climbed up step by step by relying on military merits, and graduated with honors from the accelerated military academy. The preachers also spoke highly of his revolutionary beliefs.

It was even found that Ollie had the habit of preaching the righteousness of the revolution to his subordinate officers and soldiers.

No matter how you look at it, this is a very superior seed of a revolutionary officer, otherwise it would be impossible to become the most important infiltrating cavalry commander.

What's more, Olige still has a large family in the rear that has been granted military land, and the whole family counts on his performance in the army to live, Olige is still trustworthy.

"Ollie, you are somewhat sure."

"Back to General, if we just bring one cavalry division into the rear of Li Wei's rebel army, I'm [-]% sure!

This is my strength after all. "

Ollie grinned, showing a confident expression.

Kleber is noncommittal on this point. Ollie did indeed successfully infiltrate the rear of Li Wei's rebel army with hundreds of light cavalry. The real record is there.

"I can agree with your plan, but you have just experienced a big defeat, so this time it is a chance for you to redeem your sins. It is impossible to give you the command of the cavalry division. You can only act as a guide."

After hearing this, Oli looked overjoyed, and quickly straightened his body and saluted and replied: "Thank you, General, for your gift.

I must die for the victory of the French Revolution! "

In this way, Kleber entrusted Oli with the most valuable elite cavalry division in the Revolutionary Army for National Salvation.

This cavalry division was one of the few formed units that had never fought against the Black Dragon Legion on the front line. It was originally Kleber's trump card, but now he felt it was time to use it.

The Revolutionary Army for National Salvation, due to problems such as short training time and too fast expansion of the army, has led to the fact that the army is mainly composed of infantry, and the artillery and cavalry are absorbed from the original old-style army and reorganized after political review.

As a matter of course, the cavalry and artillery were kept small.

In the entire Southern Group Army of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army, there is only one cavalry division that has been formed.

The remaining cavalry were scattered among the infantry regiments of each infantry division and used as auxiliary cavalry such as order cavalry and scout cavalry.

Originally, Kleber wanted to let this cavalry division penetrate into the rear of Levi's rebels and cut off their logistics line, but Karl's defense line was too tight, and only a small group of troops could infiltrate.

So the cavalry division has been shelved in the rear.

Now, in order to restore the declining situation, Kleber chose to put all his eggs in one basket.

Thank you for tipping 1500 starting coins for being blocked with a small account.

Thank you Weapon Oza for rewarding 100 starting coins.
