Chapter 1089

Wittig was also a young man. He thought he was no worse than schweinger except his origin. Whether in the great Sui Dynasty or in the opru Empire, the emperor promoted young generals mainly by birth. In the face of dozens of military achievements and a good family background, the emperor's choice is often the latter.

The starting point of young people who are also young talents and noble origin is much higher than that of poor children.

This involves a lot of interests, not because the emperor was dazed. For example, if a child from a poor family joins the army and never dies in a hundred battles on the battlefield, coupled with good luck, maybe his name will be known and promoted by the emperor, but after a while, if his name can't be mentioned in the emperor's ear, it will be forgotten.

The children of noble origin are different. As long as they are young, their family will naturally let the emperor remember the name early.

Moreover, the emperor also needs to give enough benefits to those nobles.

This is not fair. People may have fame and wealth as soon as they are born. Vitag was born in a small noble family in the opru empire. Although he will not fight like the poor children, he may not climb up no matter how hard he struggles, but he needs an opportunity to take another step.

Different from people of such a big family background as schweinger, he can scornfully watch those poor children die on the battlefield, but he has to lay his head in front of people like schweinger. Most of the middle and lower level officers of the oplu imperial army came from a small family like him. Each family has some background, but it is absolutely hard to hear. Therefore, they need to cling to the big families and wait for the opportunities that leak from the fingers of the big families all the time.

Just as the emperor wants to win over the big families, the big families also need to give some small credit from time to time to win over the small families.

This is the composition of the interest groups of the opru empire.

Wittig knew schweinger would not cheat himself, because he knew schweinger's character very well. Such a proud man disdains to say what he says. And as a young general who wanted to take over the command of thurence, schweinger also needed the support and love of his men.

But then again, since it was something given by schweinger, schweinger must have got more.

In only half an hour, Wittig left the camp with his team and quietly lurked in the high slope forest about five miles away from the camp. If the Han people really want to attack at night, this is the only place to pass. Weiteg never thought that such a great credit would fall on himself. As schweinger said, as long as his name is mentioned in the memorial to his majesty, the future is bright.

This is a very suitable place for ambush. The road passes through the high slopes. The foreign army ambushed on the high slopes has an absolute advantage of medium and long-range weapons. As long as the Han people pass here, vitag is confident to turn this place into a Shura hell. During the war with the Han people these days, vitag had to admire the fighting spirit of the Han people, but he firmly believed that the Han people could not become the final winner.

The huge gap in weapons gives them an absolute advantage.

Of course, this advantage was pulled as low as possible in front of the black flag army. The black flag army is an army beyond the imagination of foreigners. Before meeting the black flag army, the people of the oplu Empire never thought that the Han people would also have an army equipped with advanced firearms.

However, the firearms battalion of the black flag army can not form a direct confrontation with them in terms of military strength, which is a place for them to rest assured. Another headache for the black flag army was the light cavalry that came and went like the wind. The cavalry of the black flag army has a very special tactical system. Like wolves, they rush out from time to time, bite for a while, and then turn around and leave. They are miserable.

So vitag firmly believes that if the Han people want to attack at night tonight, it must be the cavalry sent. Only the cavalry has such a fast speed that it can withdraw quickly after World War I. Of course, there will be many practitioners who are incomprehensible to the people of the opru empire.

So far, the biggest shock to foreigners is the practitioners of the Han people.

Those damned practitioners have far more abilities than normal people. Once they rush through the blockade of guns on the battlefield, it will undoubtedly be a nightmare for the soldiers of the opru imperial army. Those practitioners can fight one against ten or even one against a hundred.

Those who can deal with those practitioners can only be the fire gun team with special equipment. But the number of such fire gun teams is just like the comparison between the number of ordinary people and practitioners in the Han people. In this army of at least 100000 troops, the number of special muskets that can deal with practitioners is no more than 800.

These 800 people were escorts given to schweinger by Lyman the great.

Vitag looked back at the 50 proud Musketeers behind him. Looking at their clothes that were no different from ordinary Musketeers, vitag felt some emotion. If the mission had not been special and important, schweinger would not have allocated him 50 broken magic Musketeers.

The people of the opru Empire call Han practitioners demons.

In their view, these people are people endowed with power by the devil. The broken magic musket team is the only means for the opru Empire to deal with practitioners. The mysterious Musketeers team was built by Lyman the great himself. How many people there are is extremely confidential. However, it is said that there are no more than five generals protected by the broken magic musket team on the whole battlefield. Of course, these five people will assign the broken magic musket team to their important subordinates.

Therefore, in this war, the death rate of middle and lower ranking officers of the opru Empire has been very high. Those Han practitioners have learned how to identify officers, so in the battlefield, middle and lower level officers are the target of those practitioners. Looking at the fifty broken magic Musketeers, vitag felt a little more secure.

It's already dark.

He sniffed as if he could smell blood.

So he was a little excited. He couldn't help thinking that his name would appear in front of Lyman the great after the victory of the war. His heart was beating wildly. This feeling was even more intense than when he forcibly pulled a maid of the family close to the garden and tore her clothes when he was 15 years old.

......

......

Wittig found himself making a huge mistake.

Before the war began, he believed in everything schweinger said to him. Because he knew schweinger's ambition and that schweinger needed people like himself to be loyal subordinates. He never thought that he would become a stepping stone on schweinger's promotion.

One

Abandoned son

It seemed late when he noticed.

The Han people did attack at night, and it was the invincible light cavalry that came. But there seemed to be something wrong with the war from the beginning.

According to the habit of the Han Army, vitag knew that the small group of cavalry coming in front was sentinel agents. Once there was any trouble in front, these scouts would immediately give a warning, and the large group of people and horses behind would stop. So when he saw a team of about hundreds of horses coming, vetteg ordered not to shoot.

He kept the soldiers quiet enough not to even breathe. As a qualified general, vitag knew that the battle was often decided by a small detail. If you ignore something, fate may play a cruel joke on you.

Fortunately, today is the first quarter moon.

The moon was clear, and vitteg could see the hundreds of cavalry passing on the high slope. The next thing he has to do is wait, waiting for the team behind him. As long as those cavalry enter range, this terrain is definitely the best cemetery for cavalry.

No matter how fast the cavalry is, it is not so easy to rush up the high slope. The cavalry who has lost the speed advantage is not as strong as the infantry. Infantry can also lie down to avoid the baptism of bullets, and the cavalry on horseback are just like targets.

At the beginning, the development of the matter was completely carried out according to Wittig's expectation, until he found that the cavalry team suddenly stopped after it was about to enter the ambush circle, and then the past hundreds of cavalry ran back. Before long, the light cavalry of the Han people began to turn around and seemed to be retreating.

At this time, vitag received a military order from schweinger.

"At any cost, hold the light cavalry of the Han people. Support will come later. We are about to complete the encirclement of this light cavalry."

When he received the military order, Wittig had no doubt. Because this is a tactic that has been negotiated in advance. Once the Han cavalry enters the ambush circle and the battle starts, Shi weiinger will personally lead the troops to support and complete the encirclement. Although the Han light cavalry did not enter the ambush circle, Shi weiinger was obviously sure to eat the team.

So, without any hesitation, vitag ordered to shoot.

The Musketeers on the high slope began to shoot at the horse team, but because the distance was too far, the lethality to the Han people was very small. Wittig thought of schweinger's military order and his future. He clenched his teeth and ordered the charge. Then the soldiers rushed down the high slopes on both sides and began to attack a cavalry team.

If vetteg had not been blinded by his illusions of a better future, he might have found the strangeness of the war. As a leading general for many years, why did schweinger order the soldiers to attack a light cavalry at any cost?

Unfortunately, it was too late for vitag to react.

When he realized it, it was because the support he was waiting for did not appear. Schweinger told him that the so-called siege of the Han cavalry that was about to be completed did not appear at all.

"How could this happen!"

He looked at the fragmented team killed by the Han cavalry in front of him, with sadness and despair in his eyes.

"General!"

The soldiers he sent back for help hurried back, and the sweat and dust on his face mixed together, making him look particularly embarrassed.

"We... Were fooled!"

In the soldier's eyes, despair was stronger than vitteg.

"I just ran back to the camp to ask for help and found that the army was arrayed on the flat ground three miles behind us. I rushed over and asked why they didn't come to support, but no one paid attention to me. Later I learned that this was general schweinger's plan, and we were all victims of this plan. General schweinger didn't intend to send troops to support us at all, He has personally taken his men and horses to attack phoenix platform! "

The soldier's voice was hoarse, as if torn by anger and sadness: "A soldier familiar with me told me that general Shi weiinger asked us to ambush here in order to contain the most powerful cavalry of the Han people. Then, general Shi weiinger took advantage of the opportunity of the Han cavalry to attack Fenghuang platform. The army behind us was to prevent us from fleeing..."

"It's impossible!"

Vitag roared, grabbed the soldier's collar, and his eyes turned red: "the Marquis promised me to personally lead troops to support!"

"General..."

The soldier said desperately, "haven't you found that we... Have been abandoned. General schweinger's goal was not the cavalry at all, but the phoenix platform. When we came out, he had personally led a large team out of the camp from the other side and rushed to Fenghuang platform faster than us. And our only purpose here is to drag the Han cavalry with our lives. "

Phoenix is too small.

There is no room for the 100000 troops of the black flag army.

Therefore, the black flag army camp outside fenghuangtai is Shi weiinger's main target this time.

Vitag opened his mouth and felt a sweet smell in his throat.

With a puff, he vomited a big mouthful of blood.

His face was pale.
