Chapter VII(1/2)

On November 14, 1784, the divine calendar, Lin Xiaohui was martyred. On the same day, Henry's army invaded Milanco and captured Milanco's county the next day. The "first battle to fight against thieves" broke out.

On November 20, the Ghana royal family officially announced the eighteen major crimes of Lin Xiaohui and prepared to spread Lin Xiaohui's head to the six towns. For the crimes of being fabricated, there are many experts in this field in every era. In the future, according to the scheduled script, it should be the season of harvest, and both sides will share the wealth of Milanko together.

But the operation of history completely deviates from the scripts scheduled by the Ghana royal family and the Henry Army, because Milanco has too many actors who do not perform according to the script.

When the remnants of the Twelve Towns brought back the news of the crushing defeat, the seventh head of the Henry family, with the same face, not only immediately reported the evil news to the central government, but also officially announced the punishment of the responsible person the next day. Garnett led more than 70 officers below were sent to the military court for trial.

In the first battle, nearly 8,000 people lost, accounting for one tenth of the entire family's strength. The Henry family's seventh generation has not suffered such losses for nearly two hundred years.

At this time, the letters in urgent need of Rhodes County were sent like snowflakes, constantly reporting the news of the Lin family's repeated disturbances. On the other side, Snell and the Lot Empire continued to dispatch troops. The war was about to break out, and the Henry family was facing the situation of being attacked on both sides.

After the first Milanco offensive and defensive battle, the Lin family's ranger crossed the Milanco border and entered Rhodes several times.

The Milanco County City is only sixty miles away from the county city. It can be reached by light cavalry in half a day, and the light infantry can only reach it in one day, which is very unfavorable to defense.

Therefore, Bai Yunhang ordered the Mixed Reconnaissance and Search Team, together with the Cavalry Battalion, to cross the county border and conduct reconnaissance and harassment on Rhode County in an attempt to establish a strategic buffer.

At this time, the Henry army stationed in Rhodes County had only some independent garrison battalions and guards. Not only did they have poor combat power, but the total number was less than 6,000.

It turned out that the remaining twelve towns in Milanco and the 47th association of the thirteen towns were planned to be used. As Snell's situation became tense again, when he received the news of the capture of the county town, he had already transferred to the south. Even if he was transferred back again, it would take nearly ten days. Moreover, the army mobilized so many troops and ran back and forth for thousands of miles, but was exhausted. The officers and soldiers were exhausted and their morale would definitely be depressed.

This ranger with more than 200 people was originally a sturdy crowd. After finding out the details of the enemy, he occasionally raided the Henry army's patrol team on the border, and sent more than ten teams of rangers to head south for a long distance, disguised himself as a raider to harass the Henry army's rear.

These Rangers regarded Henry's army as nothing, and went deep into Rhodes County for hundreds of miles, and even worse, they went south for more than 300 miles and entered Site County.

The Henry army had no choice but to be helpless with these chariots who came and went like the wind, but they were afraid of being annihilated and did not dare to fight. They only dared to defend their strongholds. They were often shocked a few days ago, and gave up on several small strongholds near Milanco. In this way, forty or fifty miles of the border of Rhodes were controlled by the Lin family.

The Western Rich people, located in the mountainous areas of the western Rhodes County, were historically long-time ally of the Lin family. After the Lin family moved to Milanco, they still received financial support from the Lin family repeatedly. After receiving the eight thousand silver coins paid by the Lin family, the Western Rich people of the thirteen tribes immediately made a "neutral" decision. However, this "neutrality" was actually an unconditional support for the Lin family. The Lin family's cavalry repeatedly harassed the Henry army through the territory of the Western Rich people, but the Henry army did not dare to enter the territory of the Western Rich people to pursue.

In Milanko, the situation is even more unfavorable.

On November 24, more than 100 officers from the 18th Mixed Association jointly issued a telegram across the country, unanimously announcing his support for Lin Xiaoru to succeed the General Secretary.

On the same day, more than 80 senior officials from Milanco County issued a telegram across the country, supporting Lin Xiaoru as the governor of Milanco County.

On November 26, Lin Xiaoru officially succeeded the county magistrate of Milanko County, and the 18th Mixed Association. At the inauguration ceremony, he formally issued a letter to fight against rebellion, saying that "a group of traitors controlled the government and raised troops to punish them by God's will." He swore to attack Henry's family and a group of traitors, and to use Qingming politics to eliminate the traitors.

On the same day, it was announced that the establishment of the "Milanko's army to fight against thieves and defend the country" should be established. Lin Xiaohui served as the commander-in-chief and Bai Yunhang served as the acting commander. He said that all treaties concluded by the central government concern Milanko and decisions will not be recognized without the approval of this commander-in-chief.

This means severing all relations between Milanko and the central government, and Milanko actually forms an independent situation.

On the same day, an promotion order was issued, ordering Bai Yunhang to be promoted from colonel to major general, Lu Da to lieutenant colonel from major, and Lin Xiaoying to lieutenant colonel from major... All the meritorious ministers in the Milano Department were promoted to lieutenant colonel for the first time.

The next day, the Milanko Responsible Cabinet was officially announced, with the following members: Bai Yunhang, regardless of the Minister and Minister of Military Affairs, served as the Minister of Army

Minister of Government Affairs Ding Ying Finance Minister Xiao Yuya Minister of Internal Affairs Lin Heyi Minister of Commerce Li Huanjun Bai Yunhang holds three important positions and ranks first in the cabinet. However, after the war ended, Bai Yunhang was exhausted and could not afford to rest for a long time. Deputy Minister of the Army Zhang Ziyin temporarily took over his post.

On December 1st, Lin Xiaohui and nearly a thousand martyrs in this battle were buried together.

Lin Xiaoru held a spirit position in front, and the sixteen people following the spirit support were all senior officers of the Lin family army. They covered the coffin with the flying eagle flag of the Lin family, and thousands of iron soldiers behind them were all wearing maroon clothes to express their condolences.

Only Bai Yunhang was unable to come in person due to serious illness, so he could only send someone to send a wreath and a couplet.

Lin Xiaohui's body was still in Henry's house, so she had to set up a tomb. Even so, the funeral was still extremely grand.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were in a deep mood, with black veil wrapped in their hands, white flowers on their chests, and watching the spiritual position. They were all in a deep mood.

The 18th Mixed Association family members mostly lived in Milanco County. In this battle, nearly a thousand people were killed in the Lin family army. The families of the dead in the battle could be seen everywhere in the county town to arrange funerals for their relatives.

Besides, Lin Xiaohui made great contributions to Milanco. In his early years, he worked hard to maintain the entire county of Milanco. Later, he sent people to explore the Dagalo minerals, resisted the lizard men and quelled the mercenary rebellion. Milanco could have this situation today, so Lin Xiaohui alone could do it.

Therefore, it is a matter of greatness that I still have to take time to kowtow respectfully on Lin Xiaohui's portrait.

The Lin family has been traveling to the Lea continent from the Eastern Continent for nearly three hundred years, but everything is still carried out according to the old system of the Eastern Continent.

Lin Xiaohui's mourning hall was decorated in the south of the city. It was opened day and night, and people with tears all day long came to express their grief. At night, the cold wind was biting, and there were fewer talents.

It was late at night, and finally the Qusanren ended and there was no sign of people again. At this moment, a beautiful jade sound came.

It turned out that Xiao Yuya was pulling Lin Xiaoru and Ding Ying walked in, not knowing what she was talking about.

Ding Ying shook her head repeatedly and said, "President Xiao, don't be happy with me and the second lady, okay?"

Xiao Yuya replied: "I will never lie to you in this matter!"

Lin Xiaoru stretched out: "I have been tired for two days and two nights and are sleepy! Bai Yunhang is still lying on the hospital bed, so he won't come here!" Lin Xiaoru's eyes were full of disbelief.

Xiao Yuya smiled bitterly: "I like Bai Yunhang's personality the most. He never cried in public and would definitely come to the county magistrate to pay homage!"

While speaking, he had already entered the mourning hall. The spiritual decoration was extremely simple and elegant. The table in front of the mourning hall was filled with Lin Xiaohui's portrait, and the mourning hall was filled with blue flowers.

Lin Xiaoru was still very unhappy. After Xiao Yuya repeatedly persuaded her, she hid behind the mourning hall and hid.

As soon as he hid, he heard footsteps. After a while, he saw Bai Yunhang wearing a plain shirt, holding something in his right hand, and slowly walking from a distance with a bamboo basket in his left hand.

When he got closer, he saw that he had picked up the huqin in his right hand. He put down the huqin and carefully took out a pot of wine and a few plates of side dishes from the bamboo basket. Looking at Lin Xiaohui's spiritual position, two lines of crystal tears rolled down unknowingly.

He first sautéed a bouquet of incense, then knelt down and bowed to Lin Xiaohuiling, and then bowed nine times in a row before he stood up and sat cross-legged.

He picked up the huqin with his right hand and actually started to sing in front of the spirit. His voice was already very sad and desolate, like crying and complaining.

Gradually, the tune became more and more desolate, slowly following the clanging sounds, even the heroic people felt a sense of tears.

When I pulled it over again, it became even more tactful and sad, and I felt like I was tearing my heart apart.

All three girls have seen him have been extremely tough and decisive in his daily life, and are even more timid and fearless on the battlefield, but they did not expect that he would have such a warm side.

After Bai Yunhang finished playing the song, Xiao Yuya gave Lin Xiaoru a wink, and Lin Xiaoru whispered: "Brother Yunhang, thank you for coming to worship my sister!"

Bai Yunhang was shocked, and then he saw Lin Xiaoru who was moving jade steps. He breathed a sigh of relief, put down the huqin, and said, "Miss Second, how dare Bai Yunhang behaved? Thanks to the eldest lady's inviting her, Bai Yunhang was fortunate to die. He also refused to abandon her. He promoted her repeatedly to achieve Bai Yunhang today."

Lin Xiaoru replied: "Brother Yunhang, whether it is planning or fighting on the battlefield, his brother is a good person in the world. My sister and I are fortunate to have your help to maintain a place in this extremely cold place. If the Lin family can be prosperous, my brother should be the first to be the best. I hope my brother can help me fight against the traitor and avenge my sister!"

Bai Yunhang stood there without answering, but just looked at Lin Xiaoru carefully.

Lin Xiaoru still has a white body, but she cannot cover up the girl's natural beauty. Her long hair, long hair, flexible eyes, delicate nose, red lips, and petite figure. However, her tender and pure face naturally has a more majestic attitude than in the past, but she can still see obvious childishness and fatigue. Bai Yunhang knew that this 17-year-old girl's slender shoulders were carrying many heavy responsibilities, which made people feel pity.

Time is like water. I remember when I first met Miss II, she was a very cute ten-year-old girl. Her red face showed two dimples from time to time. She asked her to buy things from time to time. Unexpectedly... the lady left like this...

If another girl is still thinking too much at this age, she will have to take on such a heavy responsibility alone, which is really embarrassing her.

Thinking of this, Bai Yunhang couldn't help but feel passionate and half-kneeled. Lin Xiaoru bent her knees slightly and stretched out her delicate hands to sag. Bai Yunhang was very humble and held her orchid jade fingers carefully in her hand, gently kissed the back of her hand, then raised her head and said to Lin Xiaoru: "Bai Yunhang would like to follow the second lady for the rest of her life!"

The tone of his speech was extremely strong. He was a strong man and had always made promises. Therefore, after hearing this, both Ding Xiao and his daughters were secretly happy.

Lin Xiaoru was an unmarried girl, and kissing was a big disrespect, but Bai Yunhang's intentions were sincere, so Lin Xiaoru didn't care. She bent down and kissed Bai Yunhang's cheek, then started to start her teeth and said, "From today, you are my elder brother! Xiaoru has no sister, only you are the elder brother!"

As they spoke, two red clouds had already flew onto their cheeks.

Bai Yunhang couldn't help but burst into tears again: "Bai Yunhang has a girl! OK! OK!"

He even said a few good words, and a sad and happy expression appeared on his face, and said, "Girl! Don't worry, even if you ask the elder brother to take down Audis, the elder brother doesn't say the second sentence, just do as you do!"

Bai Yunhang's words were purely from the heart, and there was no false intention. He had both his parents died from childhood and was helpless. In the next ten years of military career, he experienced the warmth and coldness of the world and the coldness of the world. Later, he turned to Feiying. Although his status was extremely respectful, he was still alone and had no relatives around him.

The Kingdom of Dragons, Odith, this slave country has force that no country in the Lea continent can match alone. It has fifty dragon cavalry brigades and ten dragon knights squadrons. Each dragon cavalry brigade has a total of about two hundred dragon cavalry, composed of four dragon cavalry squadrons. The brigade is generally a superior dragon knight, and each dragon cavalry brigade is also equipped with more than one thousand slave cavalry and four thousand slave infantry.

As for the combat power of the Dragoon brigade, it can only be said of terror. Generally, for the Ghana Army, under ideal circumstances, defending a Dragoon brigade's attack requires one town of troops, while attacking a Dragoon brigade requires two towns of troops.

This is just an ideal situation. In actual combat, it is often more unfavorable. The most extreme case is that in the Fourth War against the Dragon Sixty years ago, six elite towns of the Ghana Empire fought with five dragoon brigades. As a result, more than 65,000 people were killed in the Ghana Army, less than 20% of them survived, four of the six commanders died in battle, ten of them died in the twelve co-organizers and one was captured, while the losses of the Dragoons were less than 100, plus 1,700 slave cavalry and 2,900 slave infantry were killed in battle.

In the past decade, except for the twenty-three towns transferred from Grimmes to the east, which had wiped out a draco brigade at the cost of more than half of the casualties, the Ghana army could not find a relatively successful battle example. The twenty-three towns also jumped to the three-level battle, from a miscellaneous town to become the main force of the direct line, and in terms of resource replenishment, it was ranked as the most preferred unit in the country.

In recent years, the Ghana Army has fought against the Dragon Knights repeatedly and unfavorable, so the text on the battle report has become more and more beautiful, "annihilated a large number of Audis Dragoons", "an unprecedented victory over the Dragon Knights", and "severely damaged four Dragoon brigades"...

However, in addition to severely damaging a dragon cavalry squadron, the rest of the battle will be wiped out at most one or two dragon knight squadrons, which means that some Audisnu will join the army.

With a mere effort to deal with Audis, everyone except the madman knew that this was a joke, but his tone was extremely serious when he spoke, which was completely from the heart. The three girls all thought that he had such ambitions.

But even Bai Yunhang did not expect that in a few years, he would really have to face the entire Audis for Lin Xiaoru.

At this time, Xiao Yuya and Ding Ya also walked to Bai Yunhang. Xiao Yuya opened her lips and said, "Yunhang, have you forgotten the etiquette of the knight?"

Although the descendants of immigrants from the East Continent like the Lin family retained a lot of etiquette from the East Continent, they had already been integrated into the land of the Lea Continent and had completely Westernized. Therefore, after hearing this, Bai Yunhang immediately knelt down again and said respectfully: "Bai Yunhang is willing to protect Lin Xiaoru for the rest of his life!"

Xiao Yuya smiled again and said, "What if Yunhang is facing a former comrade-in-arms from Henry's family?"

Bai Yunhang smiled bitterly: "I had some relationships with the Henry family in my early years, but later the Henry family gave me too much. In the future, when they fight on the battlefield, even if they meet old friends and acquaintances, Bai Yunhang would not have any mercy."

Xiao Yuya understood how many painful memories of the past are hidden in this bitter smile. In terms of the tortuous and bizarre experience, Bai Yunhang was the only one in her life, and there was no one in the Lin family army that could match. Although her expression was as calm as water, her heart was still ups and downs.

After hearing this, Ding Ying showed an unbelievable relationship and understood that Xiao Yuya asked her to do everything possible to win Bai Yunhang's efforts. You should know that among the 8,000 regular troops in Milanque County, Bai Yunhang led 7,000 people. Not only that, Bai Yunhang was aware of the Lin family's secrets.

In the past, I always thought that Bai Yunhang had nothing to do with the Henry family. Today, Bai Yunhang personally said that he had had many relationships with the Henry family, and even had many old friends serving in the Henry army. His previous loyalty to the Lin family was indeed commendable. Once Bai Yunhang changed, the Lin family would have no place to gain a foothold in Milanco.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back at Xiao Yuya, trying to detect it from Xiao Yuya's face, but Xiao Yuya showed no expression at all, which disappointed Ding Ying.

Bai Yunhang's past has always been a difficult puzzle. I only know that he once served in a certain unit of the regular army of Ghana. Later, he was convicted of war and was forced to flee to Milanko, but he almost died of starvation in a blizzard. Fortunately, he was rescued by Lin Xiaohui.

The above statement has not been confirmed by myself. In fact, seven years ago, he suddenly appeared in the regular army of the Lin family like a meteor. He first served as the supervisor, and later promoted to the throne, and made many military achievements under the Lin family's Feiying.

Five years ago, the 18th Mixed Association temporarily rushed into the army. The officers came from different systems, mostly frustrated officers who were arrogant and unruly, and had no historical origins with the Lin family and lacked centripetal force.

Lin Xiaohui is indeed a rare genius. With her weak daughter, she can make all these people grateful and convinced, but Bai Yunhang can also unite these officers closely under Feiying with his personal charm.

He has extremely high military qualities, no less than the high-level graduates of the University of Mainland China, and has extremely rich practical experience. He can be said to be a top-notch general. In addition, the Lin family can work together, so he can turn the tide.

Later, he led his troops to clash with the Henry army dozens of times on the border, and showed no mercy to the Henry army, which repeatedly caused great losses to the Henry army. No one would have expected that Bai Yunhang had a very close relationship with the Henry family.

As for the grudges between Bai Yunhang and the Henry family, it is the highest secret among the Lin family. Except for a few people, even Ding Ying doesn't know it.

Seeing that Xiao Yuya was not showing any expression, Ding Ying was very disappointed and asked Bai Yunhang, who was half kneeling on the ground: "Sir Yunhang, Ding Ying wants to know the past of your relationship with Henry's family."

After hearing this, Bai Yunhang just looked at Ding Ying with a sharp eye. No matter how strong Bai Yunhang is, Ding Ying can treat Ding Ying calmly. Today's casual glance has a kind of dignity that makes people convinced. Ding Ying dared not look at each other and couldn't help but lower his head.
To be continued...
