1 Soldier per Second in My Fiefdom, the Empress Begs Me Not to Rebel

In the Great Qian Dynasty, Qin Ze, who transmigrated and became the son of the Tiger Might General, was cast aside by the Empress after she used him, stripped of his military power, and enfeoffed t...

Chapter 780 Warriors and Cowards

At that moment, a soldier rushed into the operations room:

"Sir, we cannot establish a defensive line. The enemy cavalry is too numerous and their firepower is particularly fierce. We cannot intercept them. They have already broken through Factory No. 4, and our army has suffered heavy losses!"

More and more gunshots were ringing out outside. Davis knew this would be the case, but he was now prepared to die. So he said in a deep voice:

"Strive to kill as many enemy soldiers as possible! Don't let them easily take our factory!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tacino suddenly roared angrily:

"Sir! I request permission to lead the cavalry to fight them!"

"You're right! Even if they die here, they can't defeat us!"

"I will choose to die fighting like a man! I would rather be trampled under their feet! I will do my best to lead the cavalry to kill the enemy and make the Yan people pay the price for this attack!"

Just as Davis was about to speak, Tacino, with a resolute expression, followed up with:

"I am ashamed of what I just said. Even if I die here tonight, I don't want to bring shame upon my mother!"

These words changed Davis's opinion of Tacino considerably. After all, as a young man who had not yet experienced life-or-death situations, he always needed someone to guide him and set an example. So he nodded slightly and immediately said in a deep voice:

"Alright! Tacino, go to your battlefield like a warrior!"

"Anyone who dies in this battle will be the pride of the Empire!"

"Let's fight to the very last moment!!!"

"Yes, sir!" the people in the command room shouted in unison.

Tacino immediately followed the messenger away, and upon exiting Factory No. 3, what he saw was horrifying. Countless corpses lay on the ground, and the Yan Army cavalry that had stormed in not only completely suppressed the enemy but had even reached the point of near-massacre.

Their own linear formations, firing in volleys, were being systematically killed by the enemy's skirmishes. Even with cover, the ever-present Yan army cavalry would fire from all directions. And at this moment, it wasn't just cavalry inside the factory area; enemy infantry had already swarmed in. Centered on Factory No. 4, the entire western part of the area was a battlefield, with fighting breaking out everywhere.

Without a word, Tacino mounted his warhorse. After leaving the area of ​​Factory No. 3, he pulled on the reins and headed straight east.

Troops were heading west on the road. Because the military factory was so large, although Davis knew that the enemy would launch an attack from the west, he did not concentrate all his forces in the west. He was worried that the attack from the west might be a feint, and that the enemy might send a surprise attack from another direction when the fighting got intense. Therefore, he left some troops in other parts of the factory area. But now the west had been breached and had become the main battlefield. Defending other places was no longer meaningful, so troops from all over began to gather in the west.

And now, Tacino, riding his warhorse and galloping eastward, was shouting loudly:

"The commander has ordered us to retreat!"

"Run! Don't go any further! The troops from Factory Four are covering our retreat! Quick! Retreat!"
