Chapter 103 Stone Furnace Night War II
And how to command the march at night is also a big trouble. After you can't get orders by your eyes, sound becomes the only way to communicate, and it turns out that the control system without redundancy is very fragile. Finally, when marching at night, the torch used by the team's lighting is simply a huge magnet, enough to attract the enemy from 40 kilometers away.
Or Zhang Qiang believes that the average level of his team can be compared with the elite team of the Holy Land, Huanglong and Bai Zhan. However, this objective and unproven conclusion and unreliability can be equated only based on feelings.
If the chief officer of an army is so unreliable, whether the army is in origin or in reality, then his subordinates must be the first to enjoy the consequences.
After receiving the information that the Shinra Knights' troops were marching at night, Leng Feng simply felt that the goddess of luck was too biased towards him. This kind of opponent that every commander wanted to meet appeared in front of him repeatedly, and the three-parting plan, which had only started in the early morning, was immediately cancelled.
The members of the Cangyue Regiment, who are replenishing equipment and consumables, will gather again, and a new battle will begin again. At four o'clock when the sun was about to appear, most of the members of Cangyue had reached the attack position. The cold front looked at the half-kilometer-long Shinra team pulled down by the torch in front of them and confirmed that the other party was almost at the lowest moment of defense.
This kind of head is almost free. If you don't want it, you will be punished by God. After receiving the reports prepared by each squadron, the cold front issued an order to attack the whole line at 445.
Zhang Qiang rode on his daughter's horse and walked at the front of the whole team. As the district captain of the gray cliff area and the senior commander of the Shenluo Knights, Zhang Qiang can be regarded as Gu Junhao's hardcore confidant. Zhang Qiang's father, Zhang Huajun, is the general manager of the internal affairs of the Gao Song ancient family. Zhang Qiang became the legitimate son of the Gu family after the age of seven. Hao's identity lived with Gu Junhao, the heir of the ancient family, and was trusted in his origin and became one of the ten district captains of the Shinra Knights.
At this moment, Zhang Qiang is not thinking about how to fight with Cangyue tomorrow, but his own future. This year is Gu Junhao's fifth year at Siming College. A year later, the young master of the Gu family will enter the internship stage. According to past practice, Siming's top students will enter the Ministry of Colonial Affairs or the Ministry of Military Affairs. Some also chose the Border Affairs Committee of the House of Lords to start their political careers as secretaries of ministers.
Zhang Qiang is not talented, and his grades are naturally mediocre. It is meaningless to enter the imperial government or the noble house. In this way, the way after graduation becomes a problem. With the relationship between Gu Junhao or his father, Zhang Qiang can naturally find the ancient family to get a good job. In ten years, or Twenty years later, like the ancestors of the Zhang family, he became the senior housekeeper of the ancient family. As one of the three largest forces in the frontier, Gao Song in the East, Sanyang in the north, and Song Qi in the West, they can climb to the position of steward, which is no worse than the management or factory director of major enterprises in the imperial city, but Zhang Qiang does not think so.
Or seeing all kinds of young masters and ladies in Siming College, Zhang Qiang is very concerned about his servant status. Indeed, many little nobles have to honor Zhang Shao when they see Zhang Qiang. Even Yang Siqi of the Sanyang family will affectionately call him Xiaoqiang when he sees him, but Zhang Qiang knows very well that the other party looks up to the ancient family. Leaving the ancient family, I am nothing.
If you want to get rid of this natural identity, there are only two choices. The first is the owner of the ancient family to return Zhang Qiang's contract. Since then, Zhang Qiang has become an imperial citizen, and the second is the convocation of the imperial emperor. The former, if it happens, even if the Zhang family is separated from the Gu family, if they dare to say this idea, they will definitely be killed by their father, and the second one, after joining the Central Army and becoming a senior officer of the empire, they can achieve their goal.
Zhang Qiang is thinking that his friends can get involved with the bosses of the Central Army, which is not easy. Siming College is the territory of local nobles and the children of big businessmen. Now the central nobles and local nobles are seriously opposed, almost to the point of not drinking the same water or taking the same breath. As the direct subordinate army of the noble upper house Naturally, the central army rarely intersects with here.
"If it really doesn't work, we can only go to the National Defense Force." Zhang Qiang was very frustrated to find that the "friends" he had made in Siming were still inextricably related to the ancient family.
When it comes to the National Defense Force, it is much easier. After the savage invasion 30 years ago, in order to protect the security of satellite cities and colonial areas, the emperor authorized the governors of the frontier provinces to organize military groups. Later, this local self-defense group became the Imperial Defense Force after integration. It became the third armed force of the empire to be loyal to the emperor.
The senior officers of the National Defense Force are also subordinates of the emperor, but compared with the Central Army, the promotion of the National Defense Force is much more difficult. There are not enough funds and contacts, and it is not difficult to become a general.
"District captain!" Chen Qiang's thinking was interrupted by a noise. What's going on? Chen Qiang, who had just woken up, still didn't understand what had happened, but the first thing he saw when he turned his head was that a long arrow crossed his face and directly hit Sun Haiyun's forehead. "enemy attack..."
As a mage, without defense. He was directly shot in the face by the heavy arrow of the divine archer. Of course, it was a second kill. Before Sun Haiyun's warning was finished, he went back to the city for free. Zhang Qiang did not let his old friend wait long. In less than three breaths, he was shot by more than a dozen feather arrows on his body, and not even a magic shield was opened. .
The dozens of mounted figures walking in the front of the team are the key targets of Cangyue's long-range troops, especially Sun Haiyun and Zhang Qiang, two well-equipped mage professions, and are taken care of meticulously.
As soon as the war started, the two top commanders of the team were all killed, and they were attacked by powerful and well-trained enemies in the night. There was no accident in this battle.
An hour later, the cold front, worried that the team was too scattered, stopped chasing and began to return to clean the battlefield. Shinra had 2,000 people and a half, and finally only more than 200 people fled back to Grey Cliff City alive. In fact, Cangyue killed up to 500 to 800 people in the battle, and a large part of the rest were after escaping at night. I was served as a snack by the beasts and monsters in the forest around the stone stove.
