Chapter 1,202 "War Ghost" Doppler (Part 1)

Although there was only one battle today, it was in the afternoon, so it was almost evening when the battle ended.

The sky did not allow them to fight each other.

Knowing that it was no longer suitable to fight, Su Cheng and Otto gathered their troops for today and started to prepare for the night.

…

…

Su Cheng is in a good mood now.

The big victory today made it difficult for Su Cheng to be unhappy.

And Raymond brought him some unexpected surprises - the head of a senior enemy general.

Raymond was very lucky today. He killed a senior enemy general and brought his head back smoothly.

Although he did not know who the owner of the head was and what his name was, this information was not important.

As long as the enemy soldiers knew that they had killed a senior general today, it would be fine.

In order to better humiliate the enemy and undermine their morale, Su Cheng ordered the head of the unknown enemy officer to be hung on the bow of the warship at the forefront of the fleet.

It was 9:30 p.m. now.

Although it was late, Su Cheng's room on the Hyperion was still brightly lit.

Getting up earlier than anyone else and going to bed later than anyone else - this is the daily routine of a military commander like Su Cheng.

Just as Su Cheng was studying the map of Lake Anga and its surrounding areas on the table, the guard's announcement suddenly sounded outside the house:

"Commander! The commander of the 2nd Army requests to come in!"

--Samuel?

As soon as the guard finished speaking, Su Cheng's eyebrows slightly raised.

-- What is Samuel doing here at this time...

"Let him in!"

"Yes!"

The door of the house was opened.

Samuel, who still hadn't taken off his armor, walked into the room.

"Commander."

After entering the room and walking to Su Cheng's desk, Samuel immediately saluted Su Cheng and greeted him respectfully.

"Good evening, Samuel." Su Cheng also smiled and replied, "You have worked hard today. Today's battle was really beautiful."

"I don't deserve it. Commander, you are too kind."

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Su Cheng asked Samuel directly about his purpose.

"Samuel, you suddenly came to me at this time, is there something?"

After Samuel entered the room, Su Cheng keenly discovered that Samuel's expression was very serious.

Entering the room with such a serious expression, Su Cheng had already vaguely guessed that what Samuel wanted to tell him should be unusual.

"Commander."

Samuel said softly.

"Today in the battle, I heard something from a low-ranking enemy general that made me pay attention."

"Commander. Do you know Doppler von Neumann?"

"Of course I know." Su Cheng said without hesitation, "War Ghost Doppler's name.

It would be strange if you didn't know it, right?"

"War Ghost" Doppler von Neumann - a legendary general of the Frankish Empire.

His reputation for bravery resounded throughout the continent.

His current life and his great achievements are a legend.

It must be said that the era ruled by the current Emperor Shad is really an unprecedented era full of surprises that has never appeared in the Frankish Empire before.

In the Frankish Empire under Shad's rule, the first civilian to become a general, Allen Jones, appeared.

There was also the first general who was not bound by military law - Doppler von Neumann.

10 years ago, the Emperor of the Frankish Empire, Xia De von Soren, once launched an eastern tour, personally visited the front line in the east, and visited the current situation of the eastern defense line that was ravaged by war.

This eastern tour was originally a private visit, so Xia De did not bring too many guards, only some followers and 1,000 guards to set off.

Even some ministers in the central government did not know where their emperor had gone, so it stands to reason that the important information that the emperor visited the eastern defense line in private should not be leaked.

However, this eastern tour, which should not have any accidents, did have an accident.

And it was the kind of big accident that still makes people feel terrified when they think about it.

The grassland people did not know from what channel that they learned about the emperor of the Frankish Empire's eastern tour.

And they also knew the place where Emperor Xia De visited - a fortress built on the prairie of the Frankish Empire.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for war, the grassland people naturally would not let it go.

However, it was a blessing in disguise - the time when Emperor Xia De started his eastern tour happened to be the time when the grassland people were busy grazing.

Most of the men were busy grazing at this time.

If the Chanyu ordered the tribes to stop grazing and free up enough men to help them besiege Emperor Xia De, it would not only cause dissatisfaction among the tribes, but also have a serious impact on the fiscal revenue of the grassland center in this year and next year.

Gather troops without affecting the grazing of the tribes. In the end, the Chanyu only succeeded in gathering a 20,000-man force.

Although the force was small, it was more than enough to besiege the small fortress that Emperor Xia De visited.

The 20,000-man force that was finally raised was handed over to a general under his command, and he led the 20,000 people to rush to the small fortress where Emperor Xia De was currently.

The advance of the grassland people and the siege of the small fortress were quite smooth.

They successfully surrounded the small fortress where Emperor Shad was and launched a fierce attack.

They were determined to capture the emperor of the Frankish Empire alive.

The grassland army besieging the fortress had a total of 20,000 people.

The original garrison in the fortress plus the 1,000 guards brought by Shad, the total force was only 3,000.

The huge difference in force - if no reinforcements came to support, the fall of this small fortress would only be a matter of time.

Shad issued a rescue order to the surrounding strongholds.

However - by the time the surrounding strongholds received the call for help and assembled the army to rush over, Shad might have been plundered to the central royal court of the grassland and became a prisoner of the grassland people.

Just as the defenders of the strongholds were gambling with the mentality of saving the emperor if they could, and hurriedly mobilized the army, Doppler, who happened to be near the small fortress where Shad was, took action.

He led his men to rush to the besieged fortress at night.

And Doppler brought a total of 30 men with him.

The reason why Doppler only brought so few people was not because he was arrogant and thought that it was enough.

But because he had so many men at that time.

Doppler was not a general at that time.

He was only 22 years old that year, just an ordinary officer stationed on the eastern defense line.

He was not a general yet, nor did he have the name of "War Ghost" in the future.

People's impression of him was just the eldest son of the noble "Neumann Family".

At that time, people did not know how powerful the young general was.
