Chapter 1864 Lucky Charm?
War is always relative.
The rebels were being beaten down.
Although the Guards made good progress, there were also casualties.
William quickly made a decision, ordering his troops to stop the retreating rebels in the town of Raqqa.
After careful consideration, William decided to launch an encirclement and annihilation campaign in the town of Rakka.
William ordered the infantry following behind to immediately build a defensive line around the town of Raqqa to block the rebel soldiers fleeing from the south to the north.
He also ordered the guards in Raqqa town to launch as many surprise attacks as possible.
Take over Raqqa town as quickly as possible.
William's orders were difficult for many of the Janissaries to understand.
Just half an hour earlier, the guards in Raqqa had prioritized defense.
However, William has now made the decision to attack based on real-time intelligence from the battlefield.
A portion of the Imperial Guard launched a surprise attack.
Others defended the perimeter.
Outlying positions around Laka town.
This place was leveled by the artillery of the National Defense Forces.
The Imperial Guard has now regained control of the area.
They began constructing simple defensive fortifications.
They learned that the rebels were fleeing towards Raqqa.
However, they didn't take it to heart.
Their most important task now is to repair the position.
However, what they didn't expect was...
The enemy is already on their way...
Inside a newly dug trench.
Several guardsmen are chatting.
"When will this ever end? I'm really tired of playing..."
An older soldier spoke up, complaining.
This year marks his seventh year in the military.
He joined the revolution when he was 20 years old.
I'm almost 28 now.
In fact, he is just an ordinary person, even though he has now won a gold medal.
He became a hero in the eyes of countless people.
But only he knows that he is actually just an ordinary person.
It is an ordinary existence, nothing more.
He longed to live the life of an ordinary person.
But every time he wanted to leave the army, he would tell himself...
Let's wait until world peace before we back down!
However, over the years, the territory of the Republic has been expanding, and the lives of ordinary people have been getting better and better.
But the war never stopped, like a giant meat grinder, sweeping away all the soldiers.
For more than seven years, the National Defense Forces have been winning victories, and each time the casualties have been very low.
However, the total number of casualties over the years has exceeded one million.
Some might say that a million people is nothing in the context of a war.
However, the majority of these 100 million people are native to the Great Yan Kingdom.
It should be noted that the original Great Yan people numbered less than 500 million.
The people of this land, known as the "red land," chose to gamble everything and follow in Lyon's footsteps.
For these admirable and moving people.
It's time for them to rest...
Lyon was also aware of this special circumstance.
He urged the military to end the war as soon as possible.
At the very least, we must transform localized wars into counterinsurgency wars.
"I don't know, but I feel that day isn't far off."
My family introduced me to a girl from the Holy Empire. I chatted with her for a bit, and I think she's wonderful. I want to spend my next life with her!
A young soldier spoke up, then lowered his head and gave a silly grin.
The veterans showed a hint of envy.
The young soldier was full of hope for his future; he joined the Great Yan Dynasty when it was at its strongest.
At that time, the Great Yan's army, navy, and air force had just dominated the world, and the Great Yan, which had just become the overlord of the planet, was full of vigor and ambition.
Ordinary people have face wherever they go.
But now, as the novelty wears off.
Rapid development has dulled the minds of some people.
People are inherently different.
And once they're full, they'll do some truly outrageous things...
"hope so……"
The veteran remarked with a sigh.
Suddenly he saw something in the distance shining in the sunlight.
He walked over instinctively and then picked up a photograph from the ground.
Looking at the elfin woman with a sweet smile in the photo, the veteran was momentarily lost in thought.
Where did the photos from the battlefield come from?
The next second, a shell landed in the trench behind the veteran.
The comrades who were just chatting and laughing suddenly became lifeless.
Even the veteran was stunned by the shockwave of the shell.
A rebel squad was defeated in a raid last night. Instead of following orders, they went directly to Raqqa town to escape.
As a result, they encountered the Imperial Guard, who were building a defensive line.
They decisively struck first.
The plan is to strike first and gain the initiative.
After the veterans were attacked.
The nearby guards reacted immediately.
Respond to the enemy's sneak attack with even fiercer attacks.
The battle broke out instantly and quickly became one-sided.
The comrades quickly found the veteran who had been knocked unconscious by the shell.
Three dead Imperial Guard soldiers were also discovered.
Before the platoon leader could even feel the pain, he received a message from the scouts.
"At least 2000 rebels are rapidly advancing towards the position!"
The platoon leader immediately put to use the excellent tradition of the National Defense Army, which was to call for reinforcements!
