The true meaning of art is to make people happy, to be inspired and strengthened.

The four Eastern Legions, which were not strong in battle, were left by Bai Feng in the barracks outside the empty city of Brojansson, while the 3rd Infantry Wing and the 4th Infantry Wing of the Pro-Guards shouldered the heavy responsibility of garrisoning the county town of Brojansson.

Commanded by Luculus, the real main force of the pro-guards who went out with Bai Feng to attack the Tempest base was only the system soldiers and two infantry wings, and Cabaye's cavalry wing could not be used at all in the mountains and forests where the Tempest base was located.

Long before the expedition, Bai Feng had made a detailed investigation into the current situation of the Wind Thieves Group, and in addition, a large number of intelligence officers who had snare had infiltrated the Wind base. Among them, there are no less than ten battlefield ghosts at the core of the net!

As for those refugees who had lost everything, the ghosts of the battlefield with real money and food in their hands could easily attract hundreds of pairs of peripheral members who were desperate to gather nets, and with the power of these nets, the strong-fortified wind base of the city wall was extremely vulnerable in Bai Feng's eyes.

However, if Bai Feng really used these intelligence agents, then they would inevitably suffer heavy losses under the stubborn resistance of the Wind Thieves Group, and even the possibility of annihilation of the entire army;

By sacrificing the peripheral intelligence personnel of the net, in exchange for the opportunity of his own army to enter the wind base, this is not cost-effective at all in Bai Feng's opinion;

Among the 50,000 existing troops of the Swift Wind Thieves Regiment, 40,000 of the newly formed new army could not even get together the weapons and equipment, and even if they went to the battlefield, they would be crushed at the touch of a button, and only their most elite 10,000 core warriors were what Bai Feng really valued.

Bai Feng, who had seen the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment, knew that the four great bandit gangs of the empire that belonged to the four princes were only stronger than the standing army of the empire, and their actual combat effectiveness was only stronger than that of the standing army of the empire, especially the Wind Thieves Regiment, which was known as the strongest, the strength of this army should definitely not be underestimated!

Of course, with the good fighting of the Feather Forest Legion and the strength of the pro-soldier guards, the 10,000 elite soldiers of the Wind Thieves Regiment would not be able to hold out for long at all, but Bai Feng was unwilling to let the elite under his command suffer unnecessary losses at the moment when the orc army was still watching.

The system of the Pro-Guard Corps can quickly restore its strength and combat effectiveness through temple sacrifices after casualties, but the infantry wings directly under the Featherwood Legion and the Pro-Guard Corps are ordinary armies, and the losses they suffer cannot be recovered in the short term.

In order to minimize the losses of the Storm Thieves as much as possible, Bai Feng deliberately sent Cabaye's cavalry wing in advance; before Cabaye led his army to battle, Bai Feng gave him an order to lead the cavalry wing to completely block the Tempest base on the periphery of the Tempest base.

The whammet chamber of commerce's looted convoy was far less grain than the previous convoys; because the Westminster Chamber of Commerce was unable to bring in more grain for the time being, the most recent convoys were mainly transporting some weapons, equipment, and military supplies.

Forage for horses and camels, metal parts for siege weapons, brand-new winter officers, and so on, these mountains of military supplies are a shame for the desperately short bands of Storm Thieves.

The chicken ribs that are of little significance to the Wind Thieves Regiment are very important strategic resources for the Bai Feng army that needs to continue to counterattack the occupied provinces in the next step, and compared with the small amount of food, there is no doubt that this batch of military supplies is more valued by Bai Feng.

As soon as Bai Feng's personal guards and the Yulin Legion had completed less than a third of the distance, Cabaye's cavalry wing was already on the periphery of the Tempest base, and the dozens of Scout troops of the Tempest Thieves Regiment distributed on the periphery were all annihilated by Cabaye within two hours.

The most powerful of the four bandit gangs, the Wind Thieves Bandits, built their Wind Base in the mountains and forests that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, which was supposed to be a precautionary measure, but unexpectedly it became a lifeline for the Wind Thieves Group.

The geographical location of the Tempest base made it difficult for the Tempest Thieves to form a large-scale cavalry force, and the small-scale scout cavalry that they had painstakingly formed was swept away by Cabaye's cavalry wing in just two hours.

Successfully blockading the cavalry wing on the periphery of the Storm base, and at the same time passing the information that the White Peak army was about to descend on the city to the leader of the Storm Thieves Regiment, the movement brought about by the sudden appearance of 3,000 cavalry was impossible to hide from the Storm Thieves Regiment who had a geographical advantage.

"Chief, the vanguard cavalry under Bai Feng's command has appeared on the periphery of our mountain forest, and less than thirty of the more than five hundred scout cavalry under my command have escaped by chance, and the others have been annihilated by Bai Feng's vanguard cavalry!"

Mountbatten, who looked a little panicked, rushed directly into the mansion of the leader of Montgomery and reported this important situation to Montgomery; Montgomery, who was negotiating with Auchinleck about the distribution of food, immediately changed his face and said: "Mountbatten, you go and blow the military horn immediately!"

"No!"

"Woooooooooo......oo Woowoo woo ......"

As the sound of urgent military trumpets sounded, the originally calm Wind Base fell into chaos, and the elite soldiers of the Wind Thieves Regiment who reacted quickly rushed to the central square from where they were, while the soldiers of the New Army stayed where they were in a daze.

Normally, the sound of a military horn that only the elite of the Tempest Thieves can understand in the Tempest base will not cause chaos in the entire base, which is why Montgomery ordered Mountbatten to blow the military trumpet, but there are still intelligence officers in the Tempest base!

The combination of elite fighters who acted quickly, the officers and men of the new army who were at a loss for what to do, the members who took advantage of the chaos, and the thousands of refugees who blindly followed the trend, directly caused the riots at the Tempest base, so that it was difficult for those elite soldiers to assemble as soon as possible.

When Montgomery found that there was chaos in his base, he did not let the chaos continue to spread, but ordered the generals gathered around him with a blue face:

"Cunningham, you lead the most elite 2,000 soldiers, you must guard the warehouse in the base, and you must not let the warehouse go wrong in the slightest, if anyone wants to gather a crowd to storm the warehouse, you have the right to kill all the mobs who try to storm the warehouse on the spot!"

"No!"

"Paresi, you lead four thousand elite soldiers and immediately go to the various defensive nodes of the base, Bai Feng's army may come to our base at any time, we must be ready to face it!"

"No!"

"Casvall and Slim, you two thousand elite soldiers each lead the 40,000 soldiers of the new army who are unstable as soon as possible; ”

"No!"

"Auchinleck, you lead my five hundred soldiers to pacify the restless refugees, and whatever method you use, at most an hour, I must see a stable base!"

"No!"

Seeing that the other five generals were all entrusted with important tasks by Montgomery, Mountbatten, who was in the same position as them, suddenly said urgently: "Chief, what about me?"

"You sit with me in the Chief's Mansion. For the purpose of protecting Mountbatten, Montgomery did not assign him a task in the midst of the chaos, and all the generals present also understood that Mountbatten's status was indeed not suitable to participate in such a high-risk matter.
