Ten miles outside of Lacey

The fields reflected by the blazing fire, leaving only a scorched black after being swept by the fire, and there is no longer a little bit of the tumbling gold that made people excited at the beginning, these lands shook a lot of Gallic peasants, they stood in the fields with dull eyes, watching that they had worked hard for a year, and it was time to harvest in ten days, this fire made all the farmers of Laixi City stupid, the fire had been extinguished for three days, but there were still tens of thousands of people stranded here,

"Why, why is this happening!"

Looking at the scorched black ground under his feet covered with a layer of wheat stalk ashes left by burning, an old farmer finally couldn't help but kneel, his hands trembled and picked up a handful of ashes, and cried bitterly, this year is a rare good year, all the Laixi farmers are still counting on being able to collect more, in addition to most of the old men in the city, there is finally a little more, so that the whole family can survive the cruel winter of this year in peace, and there is no need to be like in previous years, before the winter is over, there is little grain left, and the last month, almost all rely on the wild vegetables in the field to spend, every year, there will be people who freeze to death due to lack of food in winter, and there are especially many elderly people who are weaker

For the upcoming harvest, the city was even organizing celebrations, but this fire that reflected the sky reddened their every qiē was in vain

A group of heavily armored Gallic cavalry appeared on the edge of the charred black earth, and his eyes swept over the scorched earth in front of him with a heavy gaze, and the commander of the Gallic Eighth Legion, Hebriel, who led the army, raised his hand and shouted the order "Stop advancing"

"My lord, this place was attacked by the enemy only three days ago, and although it has been driven away by our army, we dare not guarantee that the enemy will not come back! There are still 10 miles to Laixi, let's go there and rest again."

A nervous-looking Gallic general stopped his horse beside Hebri, his eyes a little flustered, and he kept looking around. It seems that if you are afraid to speak, the black cavalry that makes people feel like a nightmare will come like the wind, "Roy Gain, if I hear you say such frustration again, even if I am hated by Lord Roy, I will cut off your head with my own hands!" Hearing the general's words, Hebrili, who was riding on the war horse, said with a heavy face, "Ah! This, the subordinates are completely for the safety of the adults, it is a public heart!" The Gallic general shrank his head when he was frightened by the words,

He was General Roy Gayn of the Fifth Infantry Regiment. It was that he was harassed by the enemy's cavalry six times overnight, and almost ordered to abandon the ground and retreat, a Gallic infantry regiment was formed, but there were 20,000 people, and the cavalry of the northwest rebel army that attacked the place where the lord was stationed, the total number of people before and after was at most three or four thousand, and the main infantry regiment of 20,000 people, without understanding the situation at all, broke up and evacuated. It almost became a joke for the entire legion when he said it,

"Gongxin, can Gongxin make people go hunting in the mountains despite the orders of the legion headquarters? and almost order the whole army to flee?" Hebriel snorted with displeasure on his face

"It was a complete accident...... Roy Gain's face suddenly flushed with embarrassment, and he complained about the general who almost made a fuss. And they assumed that they had not heard,

It was really too sudden this attack, and almost everyone didn't expect that the Northwest Cavalry was like a sharp arrow. In an instant, it penetrated the weak perimeter of the Eighth Army, which was called the perimeter because of the place where the enemy appeared and attacked. None of them are areas where the main forces are stationed, otherwise, an area where an army of 100,000 people is entrenched, plus more than a dozen fortresses and cities, how can such a situation occur, the enemy cavalry just quickly interspersed from the side, although there are losses, but the casualties of the patrol of thousands of people compared to the main force of the army of 100,000 people, it is only the scale of a scout exchange,

Only this General Roy Gaine is considered to have brought himself on his own bad luck,

In the case of the regiment headquarters ordering all units to rest and prepare for war, he actually saw the excellent autumn scenery here, and the autumn is high and fat, and he couldn't help but arouse the idea of hunting in the mountains, and took more than 3,000 headquarters troops under his command to surround a mountain, and was about to enjoy the taste of hunting in the mountains.

Who knew that it was harassed by the cavalry of the rebels from the northwest that night,

Before the more than 3,000 headquarters troops could react, they had been scattered by the stormy cavalry attack, and the general was also at an emergency moment, putting on a soldier's costume and blending in with the soldiers and escaping together, but unfortunately the Falcon cavalry in charge of the attack did not know that in this group of soldiers running around like ducks in the mountains, there was a commander of the main infantry of the Eighth Legion of Gaul, who only quickly penetrated deeper into the area after a planned attack, and His Excellency the infantry commander was lucky enough to escape, otherwise, he might have become the first high-ranking officer of the Gallic army to be captured in this battle。

In the distance, a group of cavalry holding the Gallic flag was also coming, seeing the regimental flag of Hebaili, the Gallic cavalry quickly turned around and rushed to this side, "It's Lobrus of the Third Infantry Regiment!" Roy Gain looked at the front of the rushing cavalry, a middle-aged general with a stern face, and the general's cloak displayed in the wind behind him, and said with some schadenfreude, "But also, Laixi City is his defense area, and let the enemy cavalry burn all the wheat fields outside the city, Loblos has an unshirkable responsibility!"

While he was talking, the Gallic cavalry had already rushed closer, and Lobrus restrained his horse twenty meters away, jumped off his warhorse, and trotted all the way to Hebri, the commander of the Eighth Legion of Gaul, and stood up and saluted and shouted, "Lobrus of the Third Infantry Regiment of the Eighth Gallic Legion greets His Excellency the Commander!" "Tell me the truth, how is the situation in the city of Lacey? As the largest grain storage point in the Solas area, the other party just set a fire, and then did not mean anything about it?" Hebriel nodded at him slightly, as a return salute, and immediately asked in a stern tone, Laixi is not only the largest grain producing area, but also the most important grain storage area, and the management seems to be a little too strict, but the granary of Laixi City must always be maintained on the basis of maintaining the 100,000 army for a month." The subordinates also didn't understand, and they were also surprised to receive the news that there were rebels in the northwest outside the city, but for the sake of safety, considering that Laixi was the place where my army was stockpiling grain, the subordinates chose to order to hold on, and sit and watch the wheat fields that were about to be harvested outside the city be destroyed, but the other party seemed to be the only one, in addition to some food losses outside the city. The others are indeed fine!" Lobrus raised his head, his eyebrows slightly frowned, and replied firmly, "The other cavalry seems to be heading for the wheat fields that are about to be harvested outside the city, so the subordinates are also confused!" "Lacey, Bitru, Antill...... That's weird!"

Hearing the report of Lobrus, the commander of the Eighth Army, Hebriel, unexpectedly touched his chin with his right hand, these are all areas where the wheat fields are burned, and the goal of the Northwest Cavalry is very clear, that is, several major grain-producing areas in the Solas area, and the means are also unanimously used for field burning.

In a sense, almost all of the large grain-producing fields were burned,

This year's grain production in the Solas area will be less than one-fifth of what it used to be, but this will have little impact on the army that already has a warehouse of grain, although the loss is not large, but it is not a small blow to the morale of the army

Just for the sake of deterrence before the war, such an action will be made, unless the other party is idle and panicked!

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Hebriel's mouth. All the troops were reporting the discovery of the rebels, and this pressure made the commander of the Eighth Army, Hebury, who had always been relatively calm, unable to sit still, because there was no time to assemble. The scattered infantry regiments are completely scattered, not to mention chasing, even the tail is not touched,

In order to stop the situation where the enemy is everywhere. An infantry regiment hastily sent out from the corps headquarters to intercept it,

Because they were not familiar with the terrain, this infantry regiment was led by the nose of the Northwest cavalry for two days. The cavalry of the Northwest rebel army who was reversed back took a crazy bite,

The infantry regiment of more than 20,000 people lost more than 5,000 people, and even the commander of the team, Melimanda, almost killed the cavalry of the northwest rebels who were in ambush on the spot.

It is said that the northwest warrior Salon, who led the northwest rebels to enter this time, took the lead and no one could stop him, but he almost chopped Melimanda alive with just one sword, so that the army's heart was turbulent, everyone was shocked, and before the battle was completely engaged, as many as 10,000 cavalry broke into strongly, and the soldiers were crushed like a mountain, and the other party also erected a banner of "Salon's visit here" in the same place when he left

When the news came, Hebury almost vomited blood in anger, this northwest rebel general named Salonn was too arrogant!

His Gallic Eighth Army is the main infantry corps, and for the cavalry that comes and goes like the wind, as long as the opponent deliberately avoids it, it is basically difficult to keep up with the other party, while the opposing cavalry can take advantage of high mobility and drag itself in circles.

The commander of the opposing side was obviously a veteran in this area, and grabbed the fighter plane to bite himself

By the time the Eighth Legion had recovered from the swift attack and gathered a large army large enough to besiege the opposing side, the cavalry of the 30,000 Northwest Rebels had quickly withdrawn, like a fox that had just eaten a big meal, and made a mess of the chicken coop called the Eighth Legion, and then wiped his mouth, patted his ass and walked away, leaving a flock of frightened hens.

"Lord Loblos, the other party has made such a big move, and tens of thousands of cavalry are risking their way through the army of 100,000, just to run and set off a spectacular wildfire? Are you sure you are not hiding anything?" Roy Gain, who was next to him, said in an unkind tone, winking at the surprised Loblos, as if to find fault with something, "Lord Roy Gain, please don't use your honorless head to measure the quality of a soldier!" Fallros's face suddenly became ugly, for a soldier and nobleman, honor comes first, he has words in this sentence, obviously he urgently needs to find a few unlucky people like him, this bastard who completely abandoned honor in the face of danger, actually used his own standards to measure others, if it weren't for Lord Hebury, he would have beaten this coward who can't be called a soldier all over the ground looking for teeth,

"Soldiers, it's not people who sit back and watch the enemy sweep the wheat fields outside the city that are about to be harvested, and still shrink into the city and dare not come out!"

Roy Gain's tone was mean and sharp, this time he had already lost face and thrown home, if he could pull a few other people into the water, he would not appear so prominent, and become the laughing stock of the entire legion, and maybe even the laughing stock of the entire Gallic military community after returning!

"Roy Gain, I want you to retract your rude words, or I'll duel you!" Loblos trembled with anger, and his fingers even gripped the hilt of his sword at his waist

"Why? Knowing that you are in the wrong, do you want to solve it by force?" Roy Gaine smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth, and said disdainfully, "This is what you call the quality of a soldier?"

"That's enough! The Eighth Army is enough for the Sixth Army to joke about this time! You can give me a stop!" Hebury looked at the two subordinates who were like bullfights, and a sense of anger suddenly rose on his face, "When is it, the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Northwest Rebels are rushing forward, and it is absolutely impossible to set a fire that burns the wheat field! And if the other party dares to come once, he will dare to come a second time." If we can't find the other party's target, let's wait for a bigger crisis!"

"This ...... , the other party may be here for food!" Roy Gaine glanced at the angry pale face of Legion Commander Hebbery, pursed his lips, and said to himself

"Stupid!" Loblos next to him pursed his lips disdainfully, "Even if there is no new grain this year, the previous grain is enough to support an army of 200,000 for more than a month!" "It's hard to say, what if there isn't so much food in the city, maybe less than a month, but ten days, a few days!" Roy Gain looked very convinced and casually said, "You know." The local army was responsible for going to the granary in the city first, and the original combat mechanism was several decades ago, and who didn't know those guys, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on water to eat water, and of course relying on grain to eat grain! Selling old grain and making up for it with new grain is a very old-fashioned routine!" You are talking nonsense!"

Loblos' eyes widened in rage, and he exploded completely

When he took over the granaries from the local garrison, he had specially inspected the grain, and it was true, occupying more than thirty large granaries, stacked on top of each other. It was more than thirty meters high, and at that moment, Lobros felt so small, and with the sword in his hand, the white wheat flour was like a waterfall, dazzling people's eyes!

Hearing Roy Gain's words, Hebery's face suddenly changed, and he turned to mount his horse and ordered Lobros, 'Let's go to the granary and have a look!'

'Your Excellency, you won't really listen to his nonsense, will you!, I can vouch for my own life, and the granaries in the city will be fine,' Lobros was anxious

'Less nonsense, the life and death of hundreds of thousands of troops, and give you ten more heads, you can't afford it!'

The rich gloom on Hebery's face made Lobros shiver subconsciously,

He glanced fiercely at Roy Gain, who was also staying there, and his heart was also a little shaken, no, could it be that the situation that this crow's mouth said really exists, if this is the case, then the large-scale advance of the Northwest rebels is enough to explain.

The three of them went straight to the granary storage place in Laixi City, the construction of Laixi City was to be used as a large army for food, the area of the granary accounted for one-half of the area of the city, and there were many sentinels along the way, it can be seen that Lobrus attaches great importance to the defense of the granary, several layers inside and outside, tens of thousands of troops are arranged, and several outer walls similar to small city walls are really impregnable

'Jeff, open the door immediately!' Lobros called to the lieutenant who was stationed in the warehouse, "Yes, sir!" Adjutant Jeff glanced at his own adult with a gloomy face, and immediately sent someone to find the huge disproportionate key to the warehouse. The key was forty centimeters long, made of pure iron, and weighed twenty pounds, and it took a lot of strength to insert it into the keyhole and turn it. It took more than ten minutes for the huge warehouse gate to slowly open in front of the three of them, pushed by the combined efforts of ten soldiers

'Look, my lord, there will be no problem at all! I have sent someone to count the number! and I have carefully looked at each layer, and there will never be an empty mezzanine!' Lobros led the way, pointing to the hill-like cloth bag behind the warehouse door, feeling that the burden in his heart was finally half gone, "That's not necessarily. What is here, who knows?" Roy Gain's eyes flickered, and he looked a little weak, "I'll prove it to you!" Lobros looked at Hebbery's still cold face, suddenly drew his saber, walked to the huge grain pile, and climbed to the top of the grain pile in a few clicks, and immediately slammed his hand! The sharp weapon cut into the cloth bag, making a soft sound, and as the sword was drawn, the white flour slipped out of the incision, and the hush soon formed a pile of white "How is it? Lobros squatted down excitedly, picked up a handful of white wheat flour under his feet, and raised it from above, as if he had just won a war "Okay, you win!" Roy Gain wiped a handful of flour on his face with his hand, and stretched out his tongue to add it, it was indeed wheat flour "Change a bag, start from the third layer, layer by layer and sword!" This time it was Hebury who was coldly watching this scene "My lord!" Loblos stood on the grain pair, still holding a sword stained with white wheat flour in his hand, with a stunned expression, "Execute the order!" Hebury said with a cold face, "Okay!" Lobury nodded very unwillingly, counted the layers with his hands, and inserted a sword into the bag on the third layer again, "Poof" The sound of the sharp weapon insertion was exactly the same as before, and as the long sword was pulled out, the white wheat flour flowed down "Look, it's no problem at all!" Loblus continued to insert it into the sixth layer, still the wheat flour that flowed down, "It seems that I was too worried!" Hebry's face suddenly relaxed a lot, and he waved his hand to Loblus, "Come down!" It's a rare trip, you should always treat me to a Chinese meal" "Hehe, I'll just say it's no problem!" Lobros smiled in his mouth, withdrew the sword in his hand from the scabbard, and carefully climbed down from the high pile of grain, and when he climbed to the middle, Lobros suddenly stopped, and the smile on his face was completely frozen,

His hand was on the bag on the seventh layer, and the hard touch coming from inside was definitely not wheat flour "What's wrong?" Hebury's eyes burned, as if he noticed Lobrus's abnormality, he didn't wait for Lobrus to answer, but walked forward himself, stood on tiptoe, drew his saber and slammed it into the seventh layer bag that Lobrus's hand stopped, "Bang!" This time, it was not the soft friction sound of wheat flour, it was a dry and hard sound, "Local Army, these bastards!" Hebury's face turned completely pale, his sword was drawn, and brown river sand flowed out, and his eyes swept over the large unchecked, piled up like a hill of bags, Hebury's body suddenly shook, and his eyes were dizzy......!
