?　　The most famous thing in the eastern city of Aden is the tall tower with a spire. This tall tower rises directly into the sky. It faces the towering lighthouse in the Mars Bay Naval Port forty miles away. As part of the defense line of Mas Bay, Lok Marshall has stationed 15,000 troops in Aden for many years, as a military force that cooperates with the Aden Navy to deter Nanxi, but now, with the change of Mas Bay, the Aden Navy is removed from After Mus Bay drove out, Lok Marceau, a city known as the dual line of defense with Mus Bay, became the first line of defense facing the South. A rush of horseshoes sounded on the streets of Lok Marce. A person who heard this movement immediately felt a sense of tension and depression.

Aden’s general in charge of Lok Marshall, Aylinde, was awakened from the confusion. He immediately raised his head from the table and asked the adjutant who had just entered, "Is there any response from the military department?" Because of staying up and worrying for several nights, he He was extremely haggard and his eyes were bloodshot. The adjutant shook his head ugly. Eylinde stood up with angrily eyes, and asked, "Didn't it mean that Cassiro's 10,000 troops have already been drawn-is there no news at all?"

　　 The adjutant was silent and shook his head: "I'm sorry, sir. There are Nanxi troops everywhere outside the city. None of the cavalry we sent to contact has returned. Our news has been isolated, and there is a mess everywhere!"

　　 Ai Linde stood up and walked back and forth for more than ten seconds, stopped and asked, "Is the situation in the city still stable?"

"It's very troublesome. The nobles in the city are fleeing, and this has caused a lot of fluctuations in the civilian population." The adjutant knew that he had failed and said hurriedly: "Yes, everything is just as the adults said, as long as the nobles in the city don't get up and make trouble, the situation in the city will be Still under control"

　　"It’s good if it can be stabilized, it’s good if it can be stable"

Ai Linlinde sighed, glanced at the bleak scene outside the window, muttered to himself in a low voice, and asked bitterly, who would have thought that the situation in Aden would change in less than half a year If the sky falls to such a situation, even the chief military officer of Lok Marzol, once known as the fattest position, has been reduced to the point where no one cares.

My hapless one is the one chosen by accident. The main reason is that there is no one available in the military department. A southern war has made countless upstarts in the military department become a taint of defeated generals. The commander of the regional garrison did not participate in the battle because of his mediocre ability. He unexpectedly became a middle-level and high-level officer with no record of defeat in the military department. In this way, the military department ordered that he was prepared to eat in the royal capital area. The asshole, who can retire honorably after his death in another five years, is promoted from the commander of the garrison to the chief military officer of the Lok Marshall area, which is regarded as a general.

　　Ay Forester was a mess when he came to Lok Marshall

Mas Bay suddenly changed ownership, the main force of the Aden Navy suffered heavy losses, and the Aden naval forces completely withdrew from the southern side. Without the support of the navy, this city of Lok Mas Bay, which was originally built specifically to echo Mas Bay, became the most warfare. On the front line, if it was just the South Sea’s eagerness to move, Lok Marshall, as a former military powerhouse, still has 8,000 Aden troops stationed here, and is not afraid of the pressure of the South Sea people.

What really troubled Ailinde was the imperial navy that was sweeping the waters. The imperial navy sold Maswan to the Nanxi people at a high price, and then began to sweep the islands that had previously submitted to the Aden navy. The sea areas that the Aden Navy has been painstakingly managed for decades have been built and destroyed, and some islands that have resisted have suffered devastating blows. The imperial navy's killing of chickens and monkeys has not only scared the people of Nanxi, but also scared the people of Aden in the nearby coastal areas.

　　 Yading Anxi, known as the largest city in Aden, was turned into ruins under the bombardment of the Imperial Navy warships. How long can Lokmarsu last for less than one-tenth of the area of ​​Aden Anxi?

"My lord, if you see that Yilan and Lansiya have surrendered to the Nanxi people, we are alone. The safest way is to break out of the Anculan area immediately before the Nanxi people complete the encirclement. This is the safest.” The adjutant made recommendations cautiously. Whether in terms of strategy or comparison of military power, Lok Marshall was absolutely helpless in the face of the mighty Imperial Navy. Fortunately, Master Ai Linde allowed. The civilians and nobles in the city leave, otherwise the wealthy and nobles who have been entrenched here for many years must be gathered in the office of Master Ailinde.

"We did not receive an order to retreat. The consequence of evacuating without authorization is to escape and be executed." Ailind did not agree with the adjutant’s suggestion, but shook his head with a bitter smile on his lips. He was always regarded as a figure who came to gilded. In the face of real danger, he showed the toughness of an Aden soldier. Even the adjutant himself felt incredible. The Shangguan first ordered the evacuation of the residents in the city, strengthened the defense of the city wall, and removed the city outside the city once known as the Mo Lin long belt. Fifteen miles of woodland burned in a fire, completely spreading a broad line of sight outside the city of Lok Marsu. As long as the Nan Xiren appeared ten miles outside the city, he would be spotted by the tower on the city wall immediately. Shows the determination of Eylinde

　　 "You don't need to look at me like this, I'm not as brave as you think"

Ai Linde sighed under the gaze of the adjutant, "I am not an elite of the kingdom. Those who can conquer and fight are in Central and Biya, and it has nothing to do with bravery. I am a regional garrison officer. I am here because I know that Aden has nowhere to retreat, our navy has failed, and our army has been crushed in the south. The name of the soldiers of Aden is now synonymous with shame, but we ourselves We can’t give up like this. If we can’t win the swept empire, can we still win the Nanxi people? If we really lose the city and escape, the military will execute us on the spot as soon as possible, because Aden has already Can't bear another fiasco"

　　 "After all, we are Aden soldiers! We may not be the so-called famous generals, but we are soldiers, and the necessary battle deaths are our hometown, right?"

　　 "Yes, my subordinate understands" A touch of determination flashed across the adjutant's face

Ai Lin De was airborne from the royal capital. If everything goes well, within three years, Ai Lin De will be transferred back to the royal capital again. For such officers, adjutants have already sent two away, and one of them is waiting. After two years and seven months, the other only stayed for one year and eight months. Lokmarsu is nominally a subordinate city of Mas Bay, the main port of the Aden navy. Strictly speaking, it is a front-line battlefield directly facing the South Korean side. Threats, but in fact, there is a powerful Aden navy, and the people of Nanxi can only look on the nose of the Aden navy. How could it be a threat to Lokmarsu who is stationed with thousands of troops, and he came to Lokmarsu as the military commander. An officer, not only has the honor of serving as the chief military officer on the front line, but also can be relentlessly obtained from the hands of the Nanxi people

　　 But now the situation has completely changed

　　The southern army gathered, the war was on the verge of breaking out, and the domestic reinforcements were too late to arrive. Even the Aden Navy, the strongest barrier, shrank to Harima 30 miles away. Lok Marsu is now an isolated city! Even if Ai Linglinde ordered to give up, I believe he could use the Wangdu network to reduce punishment, but this time, the adjutant found that Ai Linglinde was going to fight to the death!

　　 Soldiers are prepared to die at a critical moment. What Aden lacks now is soldiers who are willing to fight to death!

Seeing the back of the adjutant turning and leaving, Ai Linde stood in front of the window, staring at the dark gray sky in the distance. He did not participate in the southern war, but it does not mean that he did not understand the powerful elite of the two armies of the royal capital. Well-equipped, famous generals like clouds, and the invading imperial army several times in strength, it was a hearty victory in every way, but the result was a disastrous defeat, a hundred thousand army, and the two armies of the king and capital. A mere 20,000 imperial troops were crushed head-on, and it’s fine if they were crushed on land. As a result, even the powerful navy that had dominated the seas for decades also failed. The military report changed three times a day. From all accounts, everyone was about the battle. Victory is still full of confidence, the afternoon is a life of suspicion made by the battle report

　　 Some people say that the army is greedy for life and fear of death, otherwise even if it bites, it will kill 20,000 imperial troops.

Some people say that the military command is stupid and gave victory to the empire in vain. However, as a regional officer who reads the military newspaper every day, all he thinks is that everyone is a soldier. Since he is a soldier, why would he be like this? Did anyone fight? Not to mention the two armies of the famous king capital, even 100,000 pigs can't fight like this! The most embarrassing thing is that I can't do anything, I can only watch! There is no other way except yelling at the pig teammates twice!

　　 And as the regional garrison regiment responsible for logistics work at the time, Ai Linde will never forget,

　　 In the morning light, the war horse roars in the wind, accompanied by the clanging of weapons, and the sound of the car,

　　 On the road that entered from the southern mountain pass, Ai Linde led the local garrison troops to maintain the order, and saw an unforgettable scene: the flow of people who can't see the end is like a long dragon, rolling in from the east to the west. The south has been completely destroyed. The slaves were burned everywhere. Those big aristocratic mansions could not stand it, let alone them, civilians of Aden.

　　 Only if you go north and enter the mountain pass, you can survive.

Some people drove a carriage full of large boxes and small boxes, some were panting against all their belongings, some were empty and did not carry anything, the poor old man drove two lambs staggering; a woman holding a child in one hand carried a heavy hand in the other Luggage trudged **** the icy snow, fell down, hungry children were crying in their arms, mothers were sobbing, and people kept passing by, but no one reached out to help them. The fiasco of the Southern War not only destroyed Thanks to the arrogance of the people of Aden, the hearts of the people of Aden have become selfish and numb. Each and every one of them is blank and sluggish: lost the home of life, lost the land, lost the family, what will happen to our future What?

　　 Among the civilians, there are also a large number of soldiers.

The severely wounded man was in a coma on a stretcher by the side of the road, crying and crying: "Mom, Mom!", the soldier with his injured leg limped on crutches while cursing, his companion had already left him alone; The muddy and **** soldiers sat in the snow and kept begging loudly, "I am the Fifth Army! Does anyone know where our troops are?! Please, take me away! My leg is broken! Please!"

　　 People walked past him in strides, no one stopped. Until his vocal cords were torn apart, he cried silently, grabbing the grass on the snowy ground with his hands, and struggling and crawling a little bit like a bug. Some soldiers from the Royal Capital Army were already ashamed. He took off his helmet with red tassels, and walked with his head hanging down pretending to be civilians. Seeing these broken soldiers, Ai Ling Ling was completely sluggish.

　　 Is this still the double armies of the royal capital?

Not long ago, the mighty two armies of the royal capital still wore armors and cold armor, and passed by themselves singing war hymns. They were full of confidence, and even their eyes flashed with arrogance. The holy words will end the war in half a month. It was only half a month before the imperial army that had invaded from the south was killed. They were ragged and covered in mud. They were called soldiers rather than beggars. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com If these shameful guys say there is nothing else to do, it means that it’s not just a few of them who are ashamed, there are thousands of soldiers like this, but they are never seen again. The soldiers of Aden used to be the glory of the world. An officer riding a big horse yelled "Quickly give way! Don't stop Master Lasifei!" The soldiers did not respond.

　　 "Didn't you hear me!" The officer was furious and lashed with his whip, but the angry soldier turned around and pushed the officer and his horse into the mud.

"Kill him, if it weren't for the officer to escape first, we wouldn't be so miserable." The screams echoed for a long time, and Ailinde looked at the other side as if he hadn't seen it. "You should be killed. In the south, why come back!"

　　 "My lord, the southern army has moved. Just an hour ago, five thousand light infantry from Ramta Bang crossed the sideline." The adjutant looked hurriedly again.

Ai Linde recovered from the scene in his mind. He was just an ordinary soldier, and he had not even seen it in the real sense on the battlefield. He believed that if he was withdrawn, the military would not hold himself accountable. But can I really just leave like this! It is easy to retreat, but he knows very well that once Lok Marshall is abandoned, not only the eastern gate of the Kingdom of Aden will be opened, but also the ambitions of the Nanxi kingdoms. The Nanxi kingdoms were not very firm in their tentative offensives. It will immediately become a full-scale invasion of the Aden area! The situation in Aden is simply unable to resist. Thinking of the more than 100,000 army in the southern battlefield being destroyed, but the kingdom generals who died in the battle are very few, Ai Linde said to himself: If Aden needs a general who is willing to fight to death! You start with me! "
