Chapter 0550: In the Black Cavalry
Just when Lei Ye was struggling with whether to concentrate his forces to attack Yinjing City, the logistics baggage troops responsible for transporting materials ushered in big trouble.
With the increasing number of soldiers and horses in Nanhuang County and the more frequent foreign wars, how to ensure the supply of logistics materials and ensure the safety of logistics materials has become a big problem.
Now the demon disaster has not been pacified, there are homeless people everywhere, there are robbers who rob homes and houses, and even some lords are bandits, it is really chaotic.
In order to ensure the safety of logistics and baggage, the establishment of the baggage force was expanded from one division to two divisions, with Ford and Salisbury as division commanders.
Leoper had already returned to the Rowling Kingdom and missed this promotion, but if he did well, he might be able to be a king for decades, and no canonization could be compared.
Now in charge of transporting supplies between Nanhuang County and Kale County, Ford's 2nd Logistics Division is leading people to escort hundreds of wagons full of food and ordnance, and they are marching towards Kale County.
Ford is no longer the honest little fat man he used to be, and his years of military career have polished him to be extremely tough, which can be seen from his angular features.
Renard often joked about Ford, saying that Trina married a potential stock, and as for whether the other party knew what the potential stock meant, it was not for him to manage.
As the troops were about to reach Niujiaogang, located in the southernmost part of Kale County, Ford ordered the troops to stop, and then rode up to the hill and took out his binoculars to look around.
The view here is very open, but the surface is covered by dense forests, and the eyes are full of verdant canopies, so you can't see the ground clearly, let alone know if there are ambushes.
Seeing this, the chief of staff beside him frowned and reminded: "General, the mountains here are high and dense, and they are the most suitable for ambushes, we need to be cautious and fast, and when we pass this hill, there will be no danger." ”
The chief of staff's concern is not unreasonable, and the logistics units have long been ambushed more than two or three times.
Sometimes demons appear, sometimes bandits, sometimes groups of outcasts, sometimes natives of the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Fortunately, the sergeants in Nanhuang County were well-equipped, and they did not suffer any big losses when they fought with the other party, and even made small gains.
However, not suffering a big loss does not mean that you will not suffer a big loss, and with the gradual escalation of the war on the front line, the material mobilization is becoming more and more frequent.
Over time, the enemy will certainly use all kinds of means to deal with logistical baggage.
The army is out of supplies, and it will be in chaos.
Everyone understands such a simple truth, so it can be expected that transporting supplies in the future will definitely not be as easy as before.
Ford thought for a moment when he heard this, and then said in a deep voice: "Now send scouts to explore the way, and the surrounding dense forests should also be carefully explored, and the radiation range should be at least two miles, if there is no problem, order the army to pass through here at full speed, and do not stop halfway,"
This is a common method used when marching, effective in avoiding danger, and although it is simple, it is practical.
However, as soon as the words fell, there was a commotion from the position of the Chinese army of the baggage troops.
Immediately afterward, shouts of killing rang out.
Ford's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly ordered the herald beside him, "Hurry up and see what happened." ”
In fact, he already had a guess in his heart that the Chinese army must have been attacked.
Sure enough, before the herald could be ordered to leave, a healthy horse galloped at a hurry after taking up his post, and the knight on the horse shouted loudly: "General!
As soon as the word enemy attack exited, a feathered arrow suddenly shot out from the dense forest next to it, and the feather arrow pierced the knight's chest directly from the side.
The light cavalry of Nanhuang County wore full-body plate armor made of stainless steel, weighing twenty-five kilograms, and the cuirass was three millimeters thick.
However, after this feather arrow pierced through the knight's chest, it actually went castrate, and it was nailed to the big tree not far away, which shows the great power.
The attack came so suddenly that no one reacted, even Ford, an old bird with dozens of battle formation experience, was stunned.
It wasn't until dozens of black-armored knights suddenly rushed out of the forest and raised their butcher knives to their soldiers that he came back to his senses and shouted: "Resist the enemy! Resist the enemy!"
With that, he took the lead in reining in his horse and rushed down the mountain.
In fact, it is not to blame that Ford was slow to react, no one would have thought that a team of cavalry would be killed in the dense jungle.
Looking at the opponent's excellent equipment and majestic horses, it is certain that this is an extremely elite cavalry.
The chief of staff rushed down the hill with Ford, but instead of following to kill the enemy, he hurried towards the front of the escort procession.
Naturally, he didn't want to escape, but to ask for help from the First Logistics Force, which was ten miles away.
Although Ford did not recognize the number of the cavalry, the chief of staff did.
This is the black cavalry of the Cronin family, which is highlighted in military intelligence, and he has seen the Gestapo's evaluation of the strength of this cavalry, and knows that the more than 2,000 people on his side are no match at all.
Therefore, he can only send a message for help first, hoping that the rescue will arrive in time, or he will insist on waiting until the rescue force arrives.
Turning his head to look at Ford again, he had already led his own soldiers into the enemy line.
With the strength of his high-level fighting spirit martial artist, coupled with sophisticated enchanted equipment, dealing with ordinary black cavalry was like chopping melons and vegetables, and he killed six people in a short time, and his own army also killed more than 20 people.
However, Ford soon encountered resistance, and dozens of black-armored knights saw that he was killing like a hemp, and rode directly to meet him.
Although these knights were only high-ranking warriors, with their sophisticated equipment and skillful cooperation, they actually stopped Ford and ten personal guards on the spot.
At this time, in the distance, a black-armored knight was pouring fire oil on the carriage, apparently to burn the supplies.
Ford suddenly became anxious, but there was nothing he could do with the knights in front of him.
Just when the two sides were anxious, they heard a loud shout from behind them: "Release the arrows!"
Suddenly, arrows rained down.
The sound of breaking the air passed past Ford's ears countless times, knocking down a large part of the black-armored knight who was standing in front of him.
Seeing these knights fall off their horses, he did not rush to rescue the Chinese army.
Ford's body stiffened at this time, and cold sweat continued to slide down his cheeks.
He looked at the arrows nailed to the black-armored knight's body, and found that they were all demon-breaking arrows that specialized in dealing with magic armor and magic defense scrolls, which could not only break through magic shields, but also had extremely penetrating power.
He didn't dare to imagine what would happen to him if an arrow was slightly off, and he was probably not much better than the black-armored knights in front of him who fell to the ground and twitched.
Ford swallowed hard and turned his head to look behind him, only to see the chief of staff with dozens of armed crossbows rushing to support.
These infantry were not ordinary infantry, but disabled and retired cavalry.
Even so, the strength is still far from being comparable to that of ordinary infantry, and it has mastered extraordinary archery skills, which can be regarded as the valuable combat power of the second logistics unit.
