Chapter 476
2014-08-16
Titus' national announcement on the first day of the New Year made city citizens ecstatic, and then looked away from those tempting After the conditions were removed, most people had an unbelievable thought in their hearts-Titus nobles seemed to have compromised with the Grey Cloth Armed Force!In fact, judging from the newspaper title of 'Grey Cloth Armed Force' to the present 'Grey Cloth Armed Force', and the conditions that are clearly derived from the purpose of the Grey Cloth Armed Force, this idea should be certain. But the citizens are still a little unconvinced. Originally, the Grey Cloth Armed Force was abhorred by the Titus elite. There have been hundreds of large and small sieges over several decades, but now it has been compromised by such an unfathomable mystery. It really sounds more like telling a story...
But such doubts were quickly resolved, because a team of 30,000 people officially appeared in their sight. There is no standard armor, sophisticated weapons, and no Legion logo. Obviously, this is not a regular Titus soldier.
Their armor is a little weird. Take a soldier as an example. He wears a titanic helmet on his head, a brass breastplate on his upper body, and knee pads with a large leaf chain armor on his lower body... Zero Zero Scattered, almost as many pieces of armor are made of, there are as many types of armor parts on his body. And this is definitely not an exception, almost everyone does. Others are even more bizarre. The parts of the various armors on the body are actually printed with the logos of Titus and Legion respectively. It seems that people can't help laughing.
And even without the armor, the weapons of these people are a bit funny. As everyone knows, the army is basically composed of weapons. Of course, this is not for looking neat, but for tactical needs. For example, the Broadsword team that is good at attacking the tough, the long spear team that directly blocks the cavalry, and so on.
The army in front of you can also see that it is organized in this way, but the weapons in it are not standard. In addition, there are those with one-handed heavy swords, some with Knight swords, and some with sword-like swords...
It can be said that if it weren't for the army's strict military discipline, it would be transparent in the silent march. With a chilling meaning, it can almost be said to be synonymous with disorganized mob.
But while the army looked hilarious, no citizen actually laughed. Because it wasn't long before everyone thought about where they came from - it was the Army of the Grey Cloth Armed Force.
Thinking of this, let's take a look at the armored weapons of myriad, the young soldiers with pale faces, everyone's feelings are different... Such soldiers, such equipment, can resist the annihilation of Titus for several decades What an incredible record and spirit this is! After inquiring again, I learned that this army is going to the front line to fight the northern barbarians. Everyone is excited...
The Grey Cloth Armed Force travels north along the way, and almost every city it passes through, the harvest is citizens. Cheers and applause from flowers. This kind of treatment made the eyes of many gray-clothed soldiers flush red and burst into tears! After so many years, they can finally walk with their heads held high, just and honorable, in the city of Titus, and enjoy the glory they deserve...
This is definitely not only for the soldiers of the Grey Cloth Armed Force It's as simple as being moved for a moment! When Luosha decided to negotiate first, it can be said that the biggest resistance and pressure did not come from the ministers, but from the soldiers in the army.
It's also obvious, they've killed several decades with the Titus soldiers, and they've already had a red eye. Therefore, although there are high-level military forces such as Ou Meng, they can only silently suppress their dissatisfaction in their hearts, but this kind of accumulated emotion is also the most worrying. Because only one fuse is needed, this accumulated emotion will explode exponentially, which is likely to have the effect of destroying the surname.
But now, these soldiers listened to the cheers of the common people, and the sense of pride and pride that could not be suppressed in their hearts quickly rose, even surpassing the hatred of the Titus soldiers. This of course does not mean that they no longer hate the Titus soldiers, but they are beginning to realize that their previous battles were not so-called for killing, but had a higher meaning, similar to the meaning of the division of justice.
This is a transformation in realm, and as the cities go down, it has formed a complete qualitative change... It is no exaggeration to say that this is the biggest journey of these Grey Cloth Armed Force soldiers. harvest.
This kind of change is invisible and intangible, even the soldiers themselves are not aware of it, let alone outsiders. Tang En felt this faintly, but he didn't have any other thoughts besides feeling that Luosha's luck was good.
……
With cheers all the way, more than ten days later, this 30,000-strong army of greatly rises finally approached the front line.
When we got here, the atmosphere was obviously different. Along the way, there are hardly any passing merchants and commoners, some are just military transport convoys in a hurry, and scouts galloping back and forth to deliver news. Although the war scene has not yet appeared in the line of sight, a kind of wind and rain is about to come, and the solemn aura atmosphere that is condensed like water has been quietly suppressed!
In the evening, the army was stopped by battallion cavalry at a distance of ten miles from a large city.
"French Big Brother Lei, what's the situation?" Tang En and the others greeted him and asked when Frei returned from inquiring about the news.
"Those cavalry won't let us into the city." Frey's face was a little ugly, and he shook his head replied.
"Uh, why?" David was startled when he heard the words, and then said in surprise, "Isn't it possible to enter many cities before?"
"This is Vaasa City. ..." Seeing everyone's expressions are a little dazed, Frey then explained, "Vasa City is the most rearward city in the Titus front line, so as long as there is a war, this is where the logistics of hoarding military supplies are located."
Paused, "It's naturally impossible to let the army in in such a military area. Well, in fact, the Titus army can, we... General Daniel has shown the certificate of the Titus armament department, and the cavalry only said I want to go back and ask for instructions, but I have waited for half an hour and still no response."
The voice fell, and everyone knew that there was something strange here. Not to mention that their army documents are complete, it is the huge momentum along the way, the City Lord, military high-level officials in Vaasa City, etc., as long as they are not deaf, they should have received the news long ago. But now here is what I just learned about, and the intention is naturally obvious.
David's eyes widened, and angrily said: "Damn, isn't this just making things difficult for us!"
"Yes. Actually, it's normal for this kind of thing to happen, after all For many years... and our previous movements were too big, this should be a showdown." Frey used to be a member of the army, and he also understood the psychology of the other party, and he analyzed it closely.
"hmph, I don't think I need to clean up." Miksu on the side pouted, coldly said.
Tang En also frowned: "What does General Daniel say?"
"What else can I say?" Frey shook his head helplessly, looking at the faint outline of the city wall in the distant night, "This is their territory. It's really easy to make it look bad for us, and no matter where something like this happens, they have a reason to put it off. General Daniel... Well, I guess I'll endure it."
Tang En heard the words slowly nodded, agreeing with Frey's inference.
It's a bit of a breather, but it's the truth. Now that the agreement between the two parties has just been completed, it is the time for cooperation, and no one wants to be the first saboteur. But just and honorable obstructing is not enough, and there are so many small tricks that can make a stumbling block secretly. Just like now, some people with ulterior motives in the city of Vaasa have sufficient reasons, such as the dark sky, for the safety of the logistics center, etc., they can justly not let them enter the city, and they really can’t say anything about this. .
Moreover, after Tang En knew that Daniel was the commander of the army this time, he had long expected the result of this situation. Daniel's surname is calm, his actions are calm, and his emotions and anger are not overbearing. He is the most suitable commander for a combat operation like the one at the moment. If it were Dana, the commander of the Fourth Army of the Grey Cloth Armed Force, he would have already rolled up his sleeves and asked his subordinates to take down the cavalry first.
Sure enough, after waiting for another half an hour, the messenger kept running to announce, and let the army soldiers move left into the wilderness and rest on the spot.
As soon as the order was given, everyone had to foul-mouthed into the wilderness and pitched their tents. Along the way, they have also rested like this, but now that they are all in the field, they still have to sleep in the wild, and their hearts are naturally unhappy.
David, Luke and the others kept mumbling, planning to reach down the city tonight to "have a good chat" with the soldier guarding the city, but Tang En laughed and scolded to stop the thought.
In a different form these days, this is not the home of the Grey Cloth Armed Force after all, and Eisoan can have full autonomy. This is the army, and it is under the rule of the Titus army. No matter what, you have to talk about military law, and there is no room for nonsense. Tang En brought Eisoan to join Frey's long spear camp for this reason. At least here, they can move freely.
The night was silent...
The next morning, the army came to the city. After some negotiation, they were officially ready to enter the city.
"These damn guys..."
Frey's long spear breaking the formation was in the middle and rear of the group and it took a few minutes for their turn to enter town, so Tang En They and Frey stood on the boulder by the roadside and looked at the city gate.
"What's the matter?" Tang En asked, turning to Frey, who was beside him in a low voice.
"The people who came out to greet General Daniel at the city gate were all insignificant people, and the highest-ranking person was actually a deputy regimental officer." Frey squinted coldly and said, "The provocation several times is really serious. We can't do it!"
Frey has been in the Titus Army for over ten years, and is naturally knowledgeable about various ranks. This time the Grey Cloth Armed Force had 30,000 people, which was comparable to the total size of the two or three generals under Titus Legion. With such a lineup, the opponent should at least have a general-level figure to meet General Daniel. But now the opponent's highest military rank is only the deputy regiment, and it's still a civilian.
Bang, "Fuck, it's so fucking embarrassing!" David smashed the edge of the boulder with one foot, his face full of depression, "This is not here to beat the barbarians, it's clearly here to get angry."
"Let's go, let's talk about the advanced city. Hehe, there should be another move waiting for us!" Tang En watched the crowd move in front of him, jumped off the boulder, and said with a small corner of his mouth.
Now is wartime, so the city gate of Vaasa City is naturally taken over by the army. Before approaching the city gate, the Grey Cloth Armed Force soldiers could hear the playful laughter coming from above the city wall, looked up, and the Titus soldiers in small groups were pointing their fingers at them, shaking their heads and laughing from time to time.
The soldiers here at city gate are not like this, but the slanted glances are also full of disdain, contempt and so on.
The soldiers of the Grey Cloth Armed Force were all solemn, walking quietly through the city gate, and a strong and self-suppressing anger continued to gather.
When it was Tang En's turn, David walked outside, raised his chin slightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at a soldier with a gun provocatively. The soldier was stunned for a moment, and then his anger surged. He held the long spear's big hand tight for a moment, and stared at David.
Rolling his eyelids, the corners of his mouth twitched, David slowed down and continued to unabashedly release his taunting skills. But obviously, not only the Grey Cloth Armed Force has an explanation, but the Titus Army must also have a rule similar to not being able to act first. Therefore, even though the soldier's body was trembling slightly, and he made a stance of rushing at any time, he still held back and did not attack.
"chi..." With a disdainful chuckle, David retracted his gaze slightly disappointed and followed Tang En in front of him.
"Ai, the current recruits don't have any Blood Qi at all, no wonder he was beaten so stupidly by the barbarians." Another whisper, the person behind David, nicknamed the Thin Monkey, was Frey's Old Brother, and Tang En they are also familiar with, both climbed out of the mine pit. He said this with confidence. After all, when he was in the army, these young soldiers in front of him were afraid that they were still learning how to hold a gun.
Of course, it was a whisper, but like David's sneer, it was within the soldier's ear. The soldier's eyes instantly turned red, he took half a step forward, and the tip of the gun was pressed down, but he was pulled back by a person similar to Captain next to him. It's okay to scold people or something, and there is no evidence to say it, but it's not enough to do it first. This is a proper responsibility.
"Chopsticks!"
"Who do chops scold?"
"Chops scold you!"
After a quick conversation, "Oh "..." The old soldier Oily Monkey gave the soldier a thumbs up, his face full of admiration, and then Shi Shiran followed David in front.
"hehe..." After reacting, the soldiers of the surrounding Grey Cloth Armed Force all showed mocking smiles and looked at this self-assured bastard with a novel look.
"Your mother's die for me...There is a kind of don't go...Captain, don't pull me...ah..."
Small-scale confusion, David looked back At a glance, the Titus soldier was blushing and was hugged by the little Captain to the back, his hands and feet fluttering, "Yo, skinny monkey big brother, you are still the best."
"hehe, no, no , my skills are far worse." Thin Monkey waved his hand with a humble look on his face, "In the past, there was a guy named Ditty Bird in our Thunder Gun breaking the formation team, and that guy's mouth...hehe, once our form was not good. It is necessary to break through, but the barbarian formation has no weak spot at all, and the cost of breaking through is too high. As a result, he forcibly made dozens of barbarians rampage like thunder with one mouth, and couldn't help but attack first, messing up the formation...haha ."
"Damn, this is a big deal..."
...
After the episode of city gate, the army officially entered the city.
Titus as long as the cities close to the front line have a strong military style, and Vaasa is no exception. At first glance, there are basically not many all-wood buildings, mostly made of stone and bricks, which should be to prevent the enemy's fire attack.
The main road in the city is naturally reserved for soldiers to pass through, but there are still many commoners who get up early on the roadside. busy with his own business.
So many soldiers were naturally impossible to stay in the city, so without waiting for too long to observe, the soldiers turned directly in the city, went south, and passed through the heavily defended southern city gate, Tang En They came to a barracks with a vast area, all around the mountains.
Since the city of Vaasa is a hoarding point for military supplies, there are naturally many such as reserve soldiers. After they train here for a period of time, they will be transferred at any time when the front line is tight.
Because it took a lot of time before, when the army of Grey Cloth Armed Force approached the barracks, Dongfang Xuyue had already fully exposed his face. At this time, it was also the time when the army was training. On the wide flat grass on the right, there was about a regiment of Titus long spear who was training Spear Art in a strict manner. From time to time, there was a stern roar of murderous aura. Looking further afield, there are circular wooden tokens with red dots hidden in the middle, like a bow and arrow Training Ground...
"Mummy, the gap is really big!"
p>
The conditions of the Grey Cloth Armed Force are tough. Soldier training is to go to a place to directly train physical fitness or how to use weapons. So it is no wonder that David looked at all kinds of training venues and equipment all around, and sighed with emotion.
"hehe, after all, this is the front line... eh?" Frey was about to take over David's words when the soldiers in front suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, and the formation was also a bit chaotic. .
"What's the situation?"
Tang En and David, who were walking on the periphery of the team, turned their bodies sideways and looked forward, but there were also many soldiers in front of them, so they couldn't see anything. But they didn't wait too long, and soon a group of Titus soldiers appeared in the road on the right.
Tap...Tap...
It's like a giant walking on a hill, shaking the ground with every gesture. And because of a certain sense of regular rhythm, everyone's heartbeat was also raised.
Although the group of Titus soldiers in front of them are not giants, to a certain extent, they play a giant-like crushing role in the war.
He has a large square shield in his left hand and a long-handled battle axe in his right hand. His whole body is surrounded by heavy silver-gray metal armor, and he cannot see the slightest nudity. Even the head is covered with a closed helmet with only a gap for the eyes. This is a perverted unit that is armed to the teeth in the true sense.
"Titus hoplites..." Tang En whispered to himself. He had seen this type of unit when he first joined the Grey Cloth Armed Force. At that time, the Darren Squad where he was in was ambushed, and he was almost blocked by the unit in front of him. Finally, he was lucky enough to activate Thor's Hammer and blast them directly, so that everyone escaped.
"It's dismounting again..." Frey on the side looked at the battalion hoplites passing by them, his breath stagnated, he opened his mouth, shook his head and muttered.
It's a fact that no one would come out to training in such a heavyweight early in the morning, obviously for the Grey Cloth Armed Force soldiers.
It has to be said that they do have the capital to show off. First of all, let's not talk about the high-quality heavy armor of the whole body. In comparison, the soldiers of the Grey Cloth Armed Force look like a clown. Furthermore, when a battallion of hoplites marched together, the resulting imposing manner was absolutely astonishing, even if there were 30,000 soldiers around, this arrogance like the Great Desolate gave him a steady head.
"Bah, motherfucker! Don't you just have a good turtle shell, what's there to scratch!" Looking at the hoplites in the past, David fiercely spit, disdainfully said.
This is of course a bit of jealousy, not to mention other things, just look at every place the battalion hoplites pass by, the formation of the soldiers there will be paused and silent. Such a remarkable momentum is really terrifying.
After this group of hoplites passed, the team on the Grey Cloth Armed Force side was inevitably a little dull, although most people knew that this should be the other side's tactic.
The soldiers of the long spear regiment who were originally training in the training area on the right turned their eyes around as early as when the hoplites appeared, pointing their fingers here through the iron fence, as if It is a comparison, and from time to time there is a piercing laughter.
David and the others saw that their hearts were full of anger, but there was no good way to do it, just like they provoke each other with scolding just now, this is contempt in demeanor, it depends on who bears it Do not stop first.
And just as the morale of the two sides fluctuated, things changed again.
