"Then why are you still standing there?!"
Zhang Mu raised his hand to open the light gate of the "world". After receiving the order, soldiers wearing jungle camouflage combat uniforms and holding guns came out of the gate one after another.
The door is not very big and can only accommodate five people passing side by side.
Fortunately, the marching training of 8,000 people was effective, and there was no confusion and delay.
But it took a full twenty minutes to get through and line up in the open space.
The situation was urgent, but Zhang Mu still had to make a speech before the war.
From left to right, he scanned the army in front of him that was quite reminiscent of his hometown, the different young faces, and he had a lot to say and to say.
But in the end, he only said: "I need you to give your lives for me."
"Dedicate loyalty, bravery, glory, and sacrifice to Marshal Zhang Mu!"
Zhang Mu borrowed some of the job structure of the First Front Army from the Blue Star Army.
The highest commander was himself - with the rank of Field Marshal.
From high to low, General - Corps Commander, currently the First Front is headed by Domit.
Following them are lieutenant general and major general.
The subdivision levels of colonel, lieutenant, sergeant, and soldier are equivalent.
Listening to Zhenfei Niaoque’s loud shout, Zhang Mu knew that he didn’t need to say anything more: “Domit, set up the defense line according to the training.
We must stop Lagu's army at the edge of the forest and never let them take a single step forward!"
"Yes!"
Domit, who had already changed into a military uniform, placed his right hand on his left chest and bowed in a knight's salute.
After the ceremony, he turned around and began to give orders.
Due to the number of people, the First Front Army was not fully staffed.
Zhang Mu adopted the "three-three system", that is, one brigade had three regiments, one regiment had three battalions, and so on.
The full strength of a brigade is 4500 men, but now the First Front has less than two brigades.
Therefore, Domit, who was the corps commander, gave orders directly to the brigade commander standing at the front of the team.
“The entire Second Brigade entered the forest and searched for a suitable ambush site on their own.
The commander of the First Brigade led his men to dig trenches at the exit and be ready to support the Second Brigade at any time!"
"Yes!"
Under the command of their respective superiors, the soldiers ran towards their target in an orderly manner.
The training during this period not only included the combat skills of ordinary soldiers, but also the training of officers' military capabilities.
The information was all found by Zhang Mu. Domit learned it first and then taught it.
He knew better than Zhang Mu what the officers had learned, so he was very confident in letting the officers decide the ambush location themselves.
The soldiers had already set off, and he was not idle either. He led his assistants to set up a command post in a safe area.
Zhang Mu and Mi He looked at each other and turned to rush towards Gul City.
War is about to break out.
Chapter 215 The beginning of the feud between Lagu and Lake
Mentioned.
All creatures on the continent of Thor - humans, elves, dwarves, etc. - have certain doubts about the existence of gods.
But at most, it is just a doubt, and no one dares to claim with certainty that there are no gods in the Thor continent.
The root of it all lies in "miracles".
What is a miracle?
What ordinary people cannot do no matter how hard they try is a miracle.
The Quiet Forest belongs to this category.
If any other kingdom except these two knew that Lagu had traveled thousands of miles, risking the destruction of his army, and crossed the mountains filled with monsters to attack Lake, they would probably be at a loss.
As for?
If you want to expand your territory and border Lagu, there shouldn’t be too many kingdoms that are weaker than Lake.
It is convenient to fight and consumes few resources. Why does Lagu seem to be in trouble for running to fight Lake?
But for the people of both countries, it is easy to understand.
Damu felt that the story began when the Kingdom of Lake and the Kingdom of Lagu had a feud.
A long time ago, the Silent Forest did not exist in reality, and there was a long border between Lagu and Lake.
Perhaps humans everywhere have a predatory nature.
Although the church’s mandatory regulations have suppressed killing and bloodshed to a certain extent, the continent of Thor is still filled with smoke of war.
Now, in this place where the Lake royal family is exiled and there are many city-states, they have gained a firm foothold by relying on the foundation of the former First Empire, and then unified the surrounding independent city-states to establish the United Kingdom of Lake.
At the beginning, Lagu didn't know the origin of the new force that had appeared next door not long ago.
But having been entrenched here for a long time, it knew very well what kind of chaos was going on nearby.
Cities fought against each other, and whenever a powerful city emerged, it would immediately be besieged by all its citizens.
In this type of regional form, the rise and fall of power occurs frequently and in extremely short cycles.
Lagu had been alert. After all, no kingdom expected that the man next door would be a strong man who was not easy to mess with.
But the chaos lasted too long.
Lagu was numbed by the scene that had remained the same for hundreds of years, so he didn't pay much attention to Lake.
By the time they realized something was wrong, many cities seemed to be showing signs of being integrated, and it was too late to intervene and disrupt things again.
When the army set out from the capital of Lagu and arrived at the border, what was waiting for him was no longer the independent city-states, but the unified Kingdom of Lake.
Looking at the other side's army walking out of the city on their own initiative as if in protest and standing quietly on the other side of the border, Lagu couldn't help it.
When I came here by myself before, these cowards would always hide in the city and never come out.
Now you think you are capable enough and dare to challenge me?
So, the king of Lagu at that time led his army to cross the border.
However, this time, King Lagu, his generals, and even his soldiers were not mentally prepared for war.
I just thought that I would come over and support the weaker cities as I did in the past, so that everyone's strength would be kept at the same level.
In addition, their understanding of Lake was basically zero, and the outcome of the battle being a disastrous defeat was already doomed from the moment they crossed the border.
As for Lake over there, there is actually no need for him to take such a tough attitude.
The kingdom was newly established, the internal situation was not yet completely stable, and the soldiers had only recently been trained.
The best option is to stay indoors and not show weakness.
But the mentality of the Lake royal family at that time was completely different from what it is now.
The latter - my ancestors were wealthy.
The former—I am the ancestor.
As the royal family of the First Empire, although they were targeted by the church and their country was destroyed, and they fled in hiding, they were not someone who could be bullied by just any trash.
So the two sides fought in the wilderness.
Lagu is a kingdom in a remote area, but it has been established for a long time and has some foundation.
The army that Lake recruited has not yet been trained, and the few that slipped through the net during the unification are still causing trouble.
Therefore, in terms of the number of legions and combat effectiveness, Lagu still surpasses Lake.
But the Lake royal family had just been destroyed at that time, and the number of high-level professionals who followed the royal family far exceeded that of Lagu's side.
In the subsequent battle, Lake won the war by suppressing the opponent's high-level professionals and successfully beheading King Lagu who was staying behind.
The elite troops were almost wiped out and the king was killed by the enemy.
It was under such circumstances that the eldest prince of Lagu succeeded to the throne.
This eldest prince was also a man of great talent and strategy. He ignored the infamy and the dignity of a king and ceded the city to the neighboring country in exchange for troops and professionals to resist Lake.
While developing people's livelihood, we are accumulating strength for the future.
The effort was not in vain.
Four hundred years later, after recovering a little, Lagu mobilized his army and crossed the border again late one night.
At this time in Lake, most of the royal family members of the founding king had passed away. Seeing that there was no hope of restoring the First Empire, most of the professionals left in disappointment, except for a few loyal ones.
Coupled with the surprise attack and multiple unfavorable factors, most of the city fell into the hands of the enemy.
If he continues to play so steadily, Lake will probably be taken away in one wave.
Unfortunately, or inevitably, after four hundred years of torture by hatred and loss of dignity, the entire kingdom of Lagu has lost its mind and fallen completely mad.
Normally speaking, to occupy a city, you only need to change the city lord and the garrison troops.
No matter what you do, it has nothing to do with the citizens of the city.
But Raghu crossed the line.
They first used the excuse of "still serving as the city lord" to gain the trust of the city lord who surrendered.
Then he tricked all the citizens, soldiers, and city lords out of the city and massacred them.
According to Lake History, after the city was recaptured, none of the bodies the soldiers dug out from the pits were intact.
Strangely, the missing limbs and organs from the body were not found in the pit.
Where did you go?
After further digging in the surrounding land and unearthing a large number of iron pots and ashes, the mystery was answered.
