Chapter 2655: Baden Victory

At this moment, Nick Hodge, the unpredictable mine manager, brought General Gates’ adjutant to him and showed him an amnesty. Congratulations to Elder Gu for ending his sentence early and regaining his freedom. Now he can go home.
The news spread, and Elder Gu’s friends, including Klein, Scholz, Greybird, Belling, and Robin Hood, all came to congratulate him and bid farewell to him.
Seeing the friends he had made in the underground world over the years, Elder Gu couldn’t help tearing his eyes and couldn’t bear to leave this
place of exile
where the sun could not be seen. After a long hesitation, he finally made a decision and will continue to stay as a practicing physician in the future. Work in the mining area.
But before that, Elder Gu had to go home. In addition to visiting relatives, he also helped the elder sister Gu Silin deal with the Berghoin Corps trapped in the Baden Wetlands.
...
On November 14, Bogoin, who had been trapped in the swamp for four days, did not want to sit still, and led the troops to make one last breakthrough.
The officers and soldiers of Feizhen had realized that this was their last chance, and behaved very bravely. The fierce fighting continued until noon, and they were only one step away from successfully breaking through.
It was also at the juncture of the fierce battle, watching the Continental Army's defense line being broken through by the enemy, General Gates hurriedly dropped his teacup in the headquarters and pointed at Laval's nose to put down cruel words.
"Can you do it? If you can't, hand over the troops to me to command. I will personally lead the team to charge. You can find a place to cool off as soon as possible!"
"Your Excellency, don't say such meaningless angry words, you are from the south, and you are not familiar with the Northern Corps. Your personal command will not bring any improvement to the situation of our army. It is better to save energy." Laval Replied coldly.
"Even if I can't change anything, at least I can do my best and sacrifice my life!" General Gates said angrily.
"You are too much to say that. Are our soldiers not giving their best and not sacrificing enough?"
"I have no problem with the officers and soldiers, they are all brave, great boys, but for you... Your Excellency Laval, I have reservations!"
When Laval heard this, his face suddenly changed.
"Your Excellency, I ask you to tell the truth, otherwise it will be regarded as an insult to my military honor!"
"Since you forced me to say it, let me just say it, General Laval, have you really tried your best?"
General Gates stepped forward, staring at the cold face of his deputy with piercing eyes, lowered his voice, and asked a question that only the two of them could hear:
"Allow me to remind you that this war has reached the most critical moment. Our marsh allies don't know if they will keep their promises. Instead of relying on them, we should work harder!"
"But we have tried our best, and all the usable troops have been sent to the front. What do you want from me?"
"Is that really the case? General Laval, where is your cultist ally? Where is your Demon Guard?" General Gates smiled weirdly, "In my opinion, you can still work harder!"
Laval's face changed, and he turned and left the headquarters without saying a word.
Unless forced to do so, he does not want to rely too much on the power of the "conquest of the Order" and the devil, which will not only make him more and more subject to the conquest of the Order, but also hurt his image as a revolutionary soldier.
After all, decent people don't associate with demons.
However, as General Gates said, the situation on the battlefield is dangerous, and now he can no longer tolerate his reputation.
Forced, Laval put on the ring of evil magic once again, summoned the Iron Cavalry Demon Guard from the bottomless abyss, and personally led the team to stop the crazy counterattack of the Burgoin Corps.
In the battle that afternoon, General Laval performed bravely. A heavy artillery shell happened to explode beside him. His left leg and mount were hit by shrapnel fragments. The horse was killed on the spot, and the general's left leg. It was also blown off.
The guards dragged the seriously injured Laval out of the muddy crater, awakened him from a coma, and tried to send him back to the camp for first aid, but the general refused.
Realizing that he was covered in blood and not quite conscious, Laval asked the guard: "Where did I hurt?"
"Your left leg, Lord General!" the guard replied eagerly.
"Is it just a broken leg?" Laval sighed, "I would rather have my heart shattered by a cannon."
After saying these inexplicable words, he cast a spell to heal himself.
If you want to completely heal the injury and break the leg again, you must use the 7th-level "regeneration" or a more powerful magic. Laval is not a priest. Without such spellcasting ability, he can only use low-level magic to treat the wounds hastily. Stop the bleeding and you'll have to endure the pain and sit on the corpse of the horse to continue commanding the troops to fight.
Laval's persistence was not in vain.
At dusk that day, at the fiercest moment of the battle, more than one thousand Mingurga tribal mercenaries led by Guslin and Gua Modo finally arrived on the battlefield and launched a surprise attack from behind the Burgoin Corps.
Real Fei never dreamed that a strange soldier would appear in the muddy swamp behind him, launching a fierce attack from his most vulnerable area, and hit them by surprise!
The marsh people's participation in the battle completely shattered the last hope of the Burgoin Corps to survive in the Jedi.
When night fell, Feizhen's troops, which suffered heavy casualties, had to accept the fate of failing to break through the siege and were forced to withdraw to the swamp, and continue to wait for unspoken reinforcements.
Only then did Benedict Laval breathe a sigh of relief and was carried to the field hospital on a stretcher.
...
Compared with the setback in the breakout, General Bergogyn also faced a reality that made him even more desperate: the army's food could only last for another two or three days at most.
The Fourth Division of the Feizhen Infantry was deep in the swamp, suffering heavy casualties, freezing and starving, no rescuers outside, low morale... The desperate General Berghoin had no choice but to convene a meeting of all school-level officers to jointly decide this one. The ultimate fate of the troops.
The meeting was very short, and most participants believed that it was necessary to sign an agreement with General Gates to surrender on decent terms.
Just as they were discussing and undecided, a cannonball passed through the tent, flew over the table they were sitting on, and exploded not far away.
This roar prompted them to make a determination to surrender.
...
On the afternoon of November 15th, Burgoin sent a special envoy to the headquarters of General Gates to propose a truce negotiations.
Gates agreed to negotiate, and the condition of surrender proposed was that the Fijian Army should surrender collectively under the supervision of the Continental Army and accept the treatment due to prisoners of war.
Johnny Burgoyne, in desperate situation, refused to accept this shameful surrender method, and wrote back to Gates:
"We can surrender, but we will not be prisoners. Your Excellency must promise to release us back to our country. If you do not agree, even if there is only one person left, we will fight to the end!"
