Chapter 1040: No gifts this year

With an order, a group of soldiers in front of the formation screamed earth-shattering, like a tide, rushing towards the fortress of Jindren.
Under the devastating attack of the artillery, the original towering city wall had long been shattered. Many places even collapsed, forming huge gaps.
Even an ordinary fat aunt can easily climb in, not to mention these agile soldiers.
After just a few breaths, these commandos had climbed up along the damaged city wall.
They roared and rushed to the city wall, clenching the swords in their hands, and preparing to start a fight with the enemies who rushed up.
They all know the basic common sense of siege warfare. The first three minutes of rushing to the top of the city are extremely critical.
Whether they can stand firm on the wall and expand the results depends on whether they can withstand the enemy's crazy attack in the first three minutes.
As long as they stand up, the subsequent reinforcements will smoothly keep up and seize the city, and they will have made their heads.
But can't stand it, being pushed back by the enemy...This is a life and death battle, and only one person can survive.
Therefore, one by one, their eyes were red, and they were ready to fight fiercely. Even ready to sacrifice.
When they got on the top of the city, they immediately wailed and screamed. While shouting wildly, while waving his sword as much as possible, he covered his vitals to block the enemy's attack from the city.
But what is strange is that after they rushed, they found that the city was just empty, and no one was found.
At a glance, the city is full of stumps and arms, broken spears, broken swords, broken armor, burning battle flags, and billowing smoke that covers the sky and the sun and soars into the sky...
The mess on the ground.
Their shouts stopped abruptly, and they all stared at everything in front of them.
At this time, another soldier howled and jumped in from outside the wall.
The young soldier was so nervous that he didn't even notice that everyone stopped. Instead, he took the lead, shouting and rushing from the crowd to the front.
While shouting, he placed the saber in his hand across his left chest, ready to block the enemy's attack, but there was no one on the left. He quickly turned and turned to the right, but there was no one on the right either.
So, howling and turning to the left.
He went back and forth four or five times, only to realize that there was no enemy in front of him. He couldn't help feeling a while, but still shouting. However, due to exhaustion, the shout sounded strange, like a rooster being slaughtered.
At this moment, someone next to him finally couldn't bear it, and slapped him on the head. Angrily shouted: "Stop howling~!"
The soldier was suddenly photographed and staggered, and he stepped forward several steps before he stopped.
In shock, he hurriedly waved the knife and swung it indiscriminately behind him a few times, trying to block the attack of the imaginary enemy as much as possible.
But then he heard a familiar voice shouting angrily: "Don't fight, it's me~!"
The soldier couldn't help but stunned, and then he dared to straighten the helmet that covered his line of sight. Only then did he see the face of the opposite person clearly, and he suddenly lags.
He turned around, looked at the empty city, and then at the man, before he stammered: "Sir...sir...what's going on? Where is our...our enemy? "
The officer snorted, pointed to the fragments on the top of the city, and said, "Quintus, you mean the enemy? Are they all on the ground?"
Quintus was stunned for a moment, and then carefully looked at the ground, and saw that the ground was full of burnt black and red things, but he could not recognize what it was.
Out of curiosity, he reached out and picked up one, only to discover that it was actually a finger of someone, a finger that had been scorched.
In shock, he couldn't help but screamed, stretched out his hand and threw the thing away. Then vigorously wipe his hands on the clothes.
The soldiers next to him suddenly burst into a gleeful laugh.
Quintus couldn’t help but cursed, then looked down at the city wall under his feet, and muttered: "Let’s take down Fortress of Jindren? It’s too simple? How come I feel like Dreaming?"
Someone next to him looked at him jokingly and said, "Why? Do you want me to slap you and wake you up?"
Quintus immediately took a half step back vigilantly. As a rookie in the army, he was not less bullied by those veterans.
Another person next to him said: "Okay, Duoge, don't deceive you too much."
Immediately, he turned his head and cursed at Quintus with a smile: "It's not too bad to say you. I have never seen such a cheap bone like you. I have to fight with these southerners and lose my arms and legs. What is it, this is comfortable?"
Everyone immediately burst into laughter.
The officer saw that the crowd was a little confused, and immediately shouted: "Okay, stop making trouble. You bastards, pay attention~! Our people will come up right away.
Don't worry about what they do, as long as reinforcements arrive, we will make a big contribution. "
Everyone agreed, standing on the inner side of the city wall with their weapons in their arms, consolidating their positions, and waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the city.
Countless figures ran out from all corners of the city, rushed into the street, and then gathered on the main road...
The officer couldn't help being shocked, and roared angrily: "Ready to fight, prepare to fight..."
The soldiers suddenly became nervous, and the enemy was about to attack~!
They lowered their bodies one after another, clenched their weapons, and were ready for battle.
But then they found a strange phenomenon. After those people ran out, they didn't attack here, but turned their heads and ran towards the other side.
Among the billowing smoke and dust, they quickly disappeared at the gate on the other side.
Vaguely, you can still hear their shouts.
"Run away."
"The enemy is too powerful."
"General Mela ran away early."
"If you don't run, you will die."
"..."
Everyone was stunned.
In a short while, more troops have rushed to the top of the city, and then continuously rushed down the stairs, from the top of the city, toward the city, and began searching along the street, sweeping away the remaining enemies from house to house.
At this time, the commandos had completely relaxed. With weapons in his arms, leaning against the castellated wall, watching the reinforcements pass by quickly.
Someone couldn't help but muttered: "Is it just won? Can't blame Quintus for saying that in dreams, this battle is too simple. It's really too simple..."
Next to him, Doge was squatting on the ground, carefully rolling the tobacco leaves. Hearing what he said, he couldn't help but said: "Easy? With those cannons, this will be so easy after the war.
Everyone just wait for the salary cut~! "
Everyone's heart suddenly shook.
Someone murmured: "No? We're a commando team. With high martial arts, they are all outstanding in the army, and they are called the best."
Doge sneered, and said, "Strong martial arts? That's a fart!
Just now everyone watched it too, and the artillery bombarded the sky and the earth broke apart. Even the king of heaven can't stand it.
Your martial arts are strong, can you stand it? "
Everyone could not help but feel frustrated.
Doge was reasonable and unforgiving, and continued: "With them, what use is there for us big soldiers who can only use knives and guns besides eating for nothing?
Not to mention wage cuts, it is not impossible to go home even if they are sent home. "
While talking, the cigarette was already rolled.
He looked at it with joy, lit a fire, took a puff of cigarette, and then spit out the smoke residue from his mouth. Leaning intoxicated on the battlement wall.
The soldiers next to each other were silent for a while.
At this time, I heard a burst of cheers in the city.
Everyone was shocked, and all leaned forward and looked towards the city.
I saw that at the location of the city guard mansion in the center of the city, the tiger's battle flag that originally represented General Hadu had been lowered.
On the other side, the Laohe troops, the colorful, patterned United Nations flag is slowly rising.
Everyone immediately burst into a burst of enthusiastic cheers.
Jindren Fortress has been taken down~!
But immediately, they all couldn't help but looked at the cannons far outside the city.
The cannon is indeed very useful, but it also caused a strong professional crisis in the hearts of these warriors.

Behind the Zinderen Fortress is the most fertile land in the south. The terrain here is flat and plain. There is no risk at all.
Its fall also marked that two-thirds of the area in the south was already under the iron hooves of Lao He's troops.
Hundreds of thousands of troops passed through this mountain pass mightily and smoothly penetrated into the southern hinterland.
It only took less than a month to recover this large area of ​​land.
Wherever they went, noble officials everywhere either abandoned their jobs and fled, or surrendered.
The local gentry and squires led the people, also eating pots of syrup, weeping bitterly, to welcome the king.
Lord Luo Jue was unbearable.
Several times, he said sternly that this gift or something is the most annoying.
The Sir Alex has always been as clear as water and as bright as a mirror, and he hates this evil spirit that is coming and going. And the judges instructed them to keep their eyes open and never relax. It takes a lot of effort to tidy up.
Regardless of whether this kind of matter involves anyone or anything, once it is verified, it will never be taken lightly.
We must put an end to this abominable evil.
And also several guys who gave gifts, punched out the door.
Sir Alex Ferguson's move immediately won unanimous praise from the gentry in the south.
There are quite a few copper plates strung on the side strips, and the foolish fools naively think that Sir Alex has suddenly changed his character.
Afterwards, Sir Ferguson cleaned up his meal, and it suddenly became clear that Sir Alex Ferguson did not accept gifts because he thought they had sent less.
And this sentence later became a famous proverb in the South. Inadvertently, Lord Luo Jue made a great contribution to world culture.
The army continued to advance, and in October, it finally reached the border of Oromia Province.
At this time, Haddou’s capital, Haligard, was only a few hundred kilometers away.

A small group of cavalry was galloping on the narrow road in the woods.
Wearing the uniforms of peacekeeping forces and covered in light cavalry armor, they are carefully and intently scanning both sides of the road.
This is a deep and vast forest. There are tall and lush trees on both sides of the road. The open canopy covers the sky above, and the sun only reflects a little shaking light on the road.
The forest is densely covered with bushes. From the mountain road, only a few steps nearby can be seen clearly, and then the scenery begins to darken until it is pitch black.
The cavalry looked into the dark depths uncomfortably. The wind moved the trees in the forest, as if unknown monsters were moving in the depths of the woods. They were looking at them with greedy eyes and spinning around them endlessly. .
The leading knight looked around, and said solemnly: "Speed ​​up, there are small groups of enemies moving nearby."
The cavalry pinched the horse's belly and shook the reins, urging the horse to speed up.
This kind of dense, weird forest is very unfriendly to the cavalry, and leaving here as soon as possible is the best choice.
The five knights leaned down, raised the speed of their horses to the highest speed, and rushed along the forest path with a gust of wind.
Not far in front of the cavalryman, on the small road covered with dead branches and fallen leaves, suddenly a thick black twine with the debris of its vegetation bounced from the ground and was stopped in front of the cavalryman.
When the foremost cavalry found the rope, it was too late to make it. He could only have a horrified expression. He watched the horse bend the rope, his front leg bends, and then lost his balance, fell heavily to the ground, and the horse rolled. Two laps fell into the bushes on the side of the road.
The knight on the horse was immediately thrown out, plunged to the ground at a very high speed, rolled over twenty or thirty feet on the ground, lying motionless on the ground.
The cavalry behind him desperately pulled up the reins, but the horses were still mixed with the ropes, or hit the horses that fell in front of him, and the horses and several cavalry fell to the ground.
Fortunately, their speed has dropped a lot, and the several cavalry who fell struggling to get up from the ground.
Only the cavalry who fell at the end slowed down in time, and the horses neighed and stood up against the people in front of the hemp rope, and stepped back on the ground.
The knight on the horse tightened the reins and clamped the horse's belly tightly, so that he did not fall off the horse's back.
Before the horse could stand firmly, the cavalryman gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist and drew it out with a sound.
He only drew out half of the sword body, and only heard a very tense sound of "banging", and dozens of arrows flew out of the dim forest.
The knight's eyes widened, and he watched in horror as the arrow shot out and pierced his body.
The arrows were clearly well-trained. Most of the dozen arrows hit the knight on the horse, but they were blocked by the armor on his body, and the deadliest arrow shot through the knight's neck.
The cavalry made a "ho ho" sound in his throat, and then his body softened and fell down immediately.
The cavalry who was about to get up roared: "Enemy attack~!"
Before they drew out their weapons, arrows shot continuously from the woods on both sides.
The cavalry was unavoidable, and fell to the ground with arrows in their bodies.
The mountain path suddenly calmed down again, and the five knights fell to the ground motionless, and the horses bowed their heads and touched their owners.
Only the whirr of the wind blowing through the forest.
It seems that the person who initiated the attack has already left.
After a full quarter of an hour, with two "cuckling" bird chirps, the bushes on both sides shook violently, and a group of people emerged from it.
Some of them were wearing Southern Army uniforms with weapons pinned to their waists and bows with arrows in their hands.
Some of them wore straw hats made of branches on their heads, and they were dressed in ordinary mountain folk costumes, carrying spears or steel forks in their hands, and carrying bows and arrows on their backs, and they knew they were mountain folks.
They walked up cautiously.
One of them walked up to the flying knight, turned him over with a toe hook, and then squatted on the ground and fiddled with the knight's head. He laughed and said, "This hapless guy broke his neck."
The others stabbed the knight on the ground with their weapons.
"Die, don't poke," a mountain man waved to stop everyone, and said, "Don't puncture your clothes."
Then a few mountain people threw down the weapons in their hands, knelt beside the knight excitedly, reached out and touched the knight's body, pulled out the wallet, threw it triumphantly, and put it into their pocket.
The surrounding soldiers also relaxed their vigilance, put away their weapons and stood talking and laughing.
After searching for one of the knights, a mountain man moved a step and was about to search for the body of the other.
In the eyes of everyone, the cavalry who was supposed to be a corpse suddenly bounced off the ground with a loud sound. The long sword in his hand swung a silver-white light curtain and swept across the neck of the mountain people.
This sword opened most of his neck, and blood sprayed into the air immediately.
The people nearby were taken aback by the sudden change. At this time, the knight quickly grabbed the reins of the horse, and the long sword in his hand struck the horse's ass.
The war horse stabbed and jumped sharply on the ground, neighing and running away.
The knight had hugged the horse's neck and jumped onto the horseback, lying tightly on the horseback and quickly leaving along the mountain road.
The southern soldier who reacted shouted anxiously, "Stop him~!"
Others raised their bows and arrows to shoot at the horses, but the bows and arrows flew past the cavalry only.
Seeing that it was too late, the soldiers of the Southern Army shouted: "Clean up and go quickly, the enemy may come back soon."
The soldiers of the Southern Army and the mountain people pulled off the knight's armor and weapons, and took away all the things that could be taken away~EbookFREE.me~, leading the horse and arched into the forest.
Before long, accompanied by a rumbling sound that shook the ground, a large group of cavalry galloped along the road in the forest, headed by the flag of the peacekeeping force.
The cavalry quickly rushed to the place where their comrades were lying. The officer in the lead looked at the colleague who was stripped on the ground with only his underwear, and shouted angrily: "Search me! Damn, it's the third incident in these two days. Up."
The cavalry agreed, jumped off their horses, drew their weapons and plunged into the woods, spreading out and searching.
Next to the officer was the cavalry who had just escaped.
At this moment, his upper body was wrapped in a thick bandage, and he thought for a while and said: "Head, I see not only the puppies of the Southern Army, but also the hunters or civilians in the mountains."
Then he cursed bitterly.
The officer nodded and said, "Without the support of the locals, they would not be able to show off. You~!"
The officer pointed at the Almohad next to him, and asked rushingly, "Is there a village nearby?"
