Chapter 555: Fankou Town
Before the meeting was over, the three of Renault left, and it was true that they needed to return to the 6921 Brigade as soon as possible to reorganize the army, so after a general understanding of the battle situation here, several people came to the meeting. www.biquge.info Of course, they didn't leave empty-handed, and when they left, they also brought two hundred cavalry, most of which were "borrowed" from other brigades, and the other brigades more or less had garrisons in Pompeii, and those leaders were at a loss, and the situation of the 6921 brigade was indeed not very optimistic, so at the request of Renault, they finally got together enough two hundred cavalry. Renault is a lion's big mouth, there were relatively few cavalry, he just wanted cavalry, although it was put together by various teams, it still made those officers feel painful.
In addition to the two hundred cavalry, the wing captain Bobier also gave them a hundred war horses, which is also the limit of what Bobier can do, although the West Mobeser Empire is rich in products, but now that the war situation is anxious, and a hundred war horses can be transferred, Bobier still seems to have some expectations for them.
Under the leadership of several middle-level generals, a few people went to the barracks and ordered some people. The barracks were actually the original private ones, and when the civilians left, the houses left behind happened to be used as the barracks. When they nodded their heads, those soldiers were obviously a little reluctant, or for the same reason, seeing that Renault and the others were young, they were not happy to be transferred, but the military orders were like a mountain, and they had to obey orders.
With the centaur in hand, the three of them left with the centaurs. Leaving from the north gate, Renault found that the battle was as Pobier said, the wall of the north gate was full of potholes, many places were mottled with blood, and some of the blood stains were obviously still very fresh, compared to the wall of the south gate, the wall of the north gate was too broken.
On the carriage, Ah Wang said excitedly: "Renault, you are really good, you got so many men and horses from those guys who look down on people, I think these cavalry are not new soldiers, they are well-equipped, and they have a lot of combat experience, they are an excellent team, no wonder those guys are so painful." ”
Renault smiled and said, "How can you dare to say that kind of thing and not let them pay some price?"
"That's right, but I'm still angry, and we should beat them up. Ngawang remembered the scene just now, and still felt very unhappy and said.
An Luoluo said clearly: "It's true that the strong are respected, but we are new to the city, or we can't mess around, since the captain has spoken, then everyone should go down the steps, after all, in the future, you will not see you when you look down, in many cases, you still need everyone to work together, it is best not to make too much trouble, and even if a few of us are powerful, according to Pompeii City, there are still a few thousand soldiers, right?" They are all well-trained soldiers who have participated in the war, and we will not be able to gain any advantage in a real fight, and since they are willing to make concessions, this situation is the best. ”
Renault said in admiration: "Luo Luo is really getting smarter and smarter, can't you think about it, Lao Hei, joining the army is naturally different from our previous stragglers, you can come according to your temperament before, but now you still try to act in military law." ”
Ngawang said helplessly: "Yes, it's really troublesome to have a lot of rules, but you swallow this breath Luo Luo?" I think you were also a big sister at the beginning, and you can bear it if they insult you like this?"
Anlolo smiled slyly and said, "How is this possible? They have a bad mouth, and they always have to pay the price." ”
Renault also smiled: "Luo Luo doesn't know when he will secretly do it, what did he do, say it and let us hear it, and we can relieve our anger." ”
An Luoluo coughed twice and said, "Ahem, that's it, it's to temporarily make them lose some functions." ”
Ngawang said a little inexplicably: "What function?"
Rao is An Luoluo was thick-skinned, and he couldn't help blushing a little at the moment, biting his lip and saying, "Just let them lift in a month... Can't lift it. ”
"What can't you lift?ah!?...... you mean" Ngawang just blurted out something and said with some dumbfounded, and then looked at Renault, they both understood what it meant.
Renault couldn't help but shudder when he thought about it, that can't be lifted for a whole month? Those people can't be scared to death? And this kind of thing can't be publicized, you can only hold it by yourself, I'm afraid this is the rhythm of depressing people to death, Renault himself thinks about how terrible it is that he can't lift it for a month without knowing it, Anluoluo's hand is simply too ruthless.
Ngawang sneered, "Well, that's a lot worse than us beating them." ”
Renault said helplessly: "Luo Luo, you research medicine and even research this kind of thing?" How do you look at it, this is not a very serious medicine, An Luoluo, a half-hung necromancer and a half-hanged alchemist, came up with this kind of thing?
An Luoluo's cheeks were a rare red, and he muttered in a low voice, "I'm not afraid of being with Xiu Han...... Something will happen to him then......"
The corners of Renault's and Ah Wang's mouths twitched, secretly glad that their object was not An Luoluo, and they also secretly prayed for Xiu Han, even if Xiu Han encountered this kind of thing, I am afraid that he would not be calm, right?
An Luoluo followed and said: "Don't worry, this kind of colorless and tasteless good things, I also gave a few of them to Guangningbai, we are good sisters, and we naturally have good things to share." ”
Renault and Ngawang couldn't cry or laugh when they heard this, and they couldn't help but secretly keep a heart in their hearts, this half-hung necromancer is getting more and more difficult to mess with now.
Reynolds pulled the curtain, looked at the cavalry behind him, and said, "These soldiers are still very unconvinced of us." ”
Ngawang said indifferently: "If you are not convinced, it would be good if you beat them to be convinced, it is not that the strong people in the barracks are respected, and they will be obedient if they are educated." ”
Renaud shook his head and said: "These are our subordinates, education must be educated, but education alone is not enough, we need a battle to convince them and make them recognize us, this team is easy to lead." ”
An Luoluo also had an attitude with Ah Wang, and said indifferently: "Anyway, you are the captain, you have the final say." ”
Fankou Town is not far from Pompei City, the distance of about 40 kilometers to the northeast, the six towns of Pompei City are particularly important, the town and the city form a corner of the trend, involving each other, many times the orcs attacked the city because the town garrison raided Pompeito City to relieve the siege, and once the orcs attacked other towns, then Pompeitu City will also send troops to support, that is, because of this, this area has not been captured by the orcs.
They were all cavalry, and the speed of travel was also very fast, and after two hours of effort, they came to the location of the small town of Fankou, and before they entered the town, all three of them got out of the carriage, and they all wanted to take a good look at what their station was like. This look really made them frown, at a glance, there were probably hundreds of families, but many houses in the town have been dilapidated, collapsed, scorched, this looks like there are not many intact houses in the past, in addition to the town's defense is to erect a two- or three-meter-high wall outside the town, which is simply not a matter for tall orcs, the most terrible thing is that even such a city wall, there are many places that have collapsed, and it is unbearable.
Fortunately, the east side of Fankou Town is backed by a mountain, and the mountain is relatively steep, so you can barely defend in one direction, which can be regarded as good news. The other three sides are relatively flat, and there is a forest to the northwest, and there is a river to the south of the forest, which is considered a standard human settlement.
There were many fields outside, but when the battle began, the heavens and the earth were destroyed, but there were many stubborn grasses that stood up, and they were not a wasteland. The three of Renault led the team directly to the town, and the people in the town must have recognized the friendly troops, but for the sake of vigilance, there was still a young soldier standing on the wall and asking loudly, "Who are you?"
Renault waved his hand and responded: "I am the newly appointed captain of the 6921 Brigade, and I am here to take up my post. ”
The warrior was obviously taken aback, and then seemed to run to report, and in a short time, the wooden gate in front of Renault and them opened, and then a swarthy strong man in battle armor walked out with a few people, walked up to Renault's side, and said respectfully: "Barbary see the captain." ”
Renault looked at the big man, he was almost able to break through the third level in one step, and he was not bad in the army, nodded and said, "Take us in, and arrange it for the brothers in the back." ”
Barbary looked at the cavalry behind Renault, but his face showed a trace of surprise, more joy, their brigade has experienced a fierce battle recently, it is when there is a shortage of manpower, Renault brought people over, that is a great thing for them.
Walking into the town, you can see that this town is an ordinary town, the yellow mud road is not paved with green bricks, the houses are a mixed structure of civil engineering, and the civilians in the city are almost empty, this once quiet and peaceful town is now completely reduced to a military camp, along the road, you can find that there are still traces of battle in many places.
After Barbary made arrangements for his subordinates, he followed Renault, he was probably the previous supreme commander, and Renault still had a lot of things to ask him, so he said: "My name is Renault, this is Ngawang, this is Anlolo, and both of them are deputy captains." ”
Barbary bent down and hugged his fists and said, "See Lord Vice-Captain." It's just that there is also an unconcealable surprise in his eyes, even if the two young male dolls are counted, there is a beautiful girl as their deputy captain? Thinking of some things, Barbary inevitably thought of those nobles, and only the nobles could come up with such a ridiculous thing, and a female doll could come to be their deputy captain.
Renault could naturally see the look of disdain in Barbary's eyes, but he didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued to ask, "What about the warriors?"
Barbary replied, "The soldiers are all cooking on a fire in the center of town, we didn't expect you to come so quickly, Captain, and we didn't prepare for it, so please don't mind, Captain." ”
Renault waved his hand to show that it didn't matter, and then asked: "You tell us about the situation here, including what resources are nearby, the situation of fighting against the orcs, weapons, food, grass, etc., try to explain as clearly as possible." ”
Barbary thought for a moment and said, "There is a quarry on the hill east of Fankou Town, which has a considerable output and is one of the main sources of stone in the vicinity, and we have a team there to handle it. To the west is a forest of black scab, the wood is hard and produces resin, which is suitable for making weapons and good fuel. There is a river on the edge of the woods, called Wangba River, which is about five or six meters deep, and it is the main source of water for our army on weekdays. This is the main distribution of resources, our army's ordnance because of many fierce battles, ordnance wear and tear, not enough supplies, ordnance is somewhat scarce, but can barely survive, as for the grain and grass is still very sufficient, enough for us to use for more than three months. Locally, there are about three squadrons of orcs confronting us, one of the three orc squadrons is a kilometer behind the black fat forest, one is blocked on the road to the north, and one is ... Their location has not yet been figured out. ”
Barbary's description is barely enough, but after listening to the description, Renault couldn't help frowning, the resources are still okay, but do the orcs have the strength of three squadrons? A squadron of about three hundred people, so they have to face nearly a thousand orcs? Damn, they can at most be equal to the number of orc troops, and in the case of asymmetrical combat power, such a number is really bad.
"So, Captain, is it time to go to the center of town to see the warriors?" asked Barbary.
Renault said: "Don't worry, take us to see the ordnance and city defense, and then you can tell us what kind of troops these squadrons of orcs are." ”
Barbary said while leading the way: "These three orc races are mixed, but most of the orcs are half-orcs, these ugly guys occupy about two-thirds, and there are some other common orc troops, centaurs, pig-headed infantry warriors, gopher sneak attackers, etc., although the number is not much, but the combat power is very strong, the leaders of the three squadrons are all black bear leaders, the strength is infinite, and the combat effectiveness is difficult to match." ”
Renault nodded, he was not surprised that the half-orcs accounted for most of them, the half-orcs were hybrids of humans and orcs, it was quite pitiful to say, people were not like, orcs were not like, they looked like everything, it was completely strange to describe the strange shape After a long period of reproduction and evolution, now the half-orcs can be called an independent race. Although the Orc Empire accepts these half-orcs, the status of these half-orcs is very low, and it is normal to act as cannon fodder, but there is one thing to say, these half-orcs are a little simple-minded and ugly, but their combat power is still stronger than that of ordinary human warriors.
