Chapter 220: Tough Fishman
Charles's 168th Brigade left Osmanthus City by train at noon on May 10, and they arrived in Wutong City in the early morning of the 11th, and settled in Baiyun Mountain at dawn on the 11th.
The feint team led by Bob also broke away from the main army at dawn on the 11th, and then hurried to Wutong City during the day.
On the morning of the 11th, Charles, who had gone out to investigate, encountered Bob's team, and after some arrangement, began to delay and interfere with the enemy's advance by setting traps and destroying water sources at noon.
It was not until the night of the 11th, after the changing of the guard had eaten dinner, that Charles and the others had begun to eat, and at the same time Bob arrived at Crouching Ridge. Also on this night, the main force of the fishmen led by Sebastin, who had been lurking for a day, continued to march towards Osmanthus City.
Three hours before dawn on the 12th, Bob began to advance towards Wutong City as a whole, while the banner of the Elven Royal Family was raised in the defensive position of Baiyun Mountain.
In the next two days, the hardest man was Danio, who sent a message to the main force.
Many years later, Denio became the protagonist of the math problem:
From the starting point, Bob's team marched at a speed for a day (taking x hours), and then Sebastian's main force began to march at B speed at night until daylight (taking Y hours). Danio returned to the starting point at C speed, and then chased at D speed according to the mark left by the main force. Q: How long does it take for Danio to catch up with the main force?(The exact number in the question varies depending on the questioner)
Later, a child asked his mother how to write this question, and the child's mother replied, "Ask your father to go, he was there for the fight." ”
At this time, Danio did not know that he should have been unknown because of this run, and his future popularity was no less than that of the people who were active in the magnificent war in the future.
Now he was running in the woods, and it was not until the morning when he came across a stream that he stopped to rest.
After filling the kettle with water, and then eating a kelp dumpling with clear water, he set out on his journey again.
He was fortunate not to encounter any danger along the way, and after killing a wolf that had just reached adulthood and was acting on its own, he never had any other trouble.
Finally, more than an hour after nightfall on the 12th, Danio encountered the main force that had just been drawn for a short time.
Sebastin, who was about to lead his team over a hill, looked at Danio who was helped in front of him by the two warriors in surprise, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?
Panting, Danio took out the domino representing Bob's identity with a trembling hand and handed it to Sebastian, and after a long while, he evened out his breath and said, "Report ...... Report to the general, we are at a checkpoint outside Wutong City, and we will see...... Saw the banners of the members of the Elven royal family. ”
"Huh?!" Sebastin's gaze suddenly sharpened, "Are you sure you're right?"
"Thousand ...... That's true, that's right!" Danio still gasped, "General Bob asked me to bring this news to you. ”
Sebastian had Danio taken aside to rest, and then found a place to sit and think.
His attendants formed a circle around him, not allowing anyone else to disturb his thoughts.
Sebastian went through the operation in his head from the beginning to the present.
After they got rid of the elven scouts, he sent a team to a village in the southeast of Sycamore City, in order to draw Elizabeth's attention to the surrounding areas of Sycamore City and lay the groundwork for the next feint attack on Sycamore.
With a little skirmish to foreshadow, Bob's team's raid on Sycamore looked like they had been prepared for it.
At the same time, there will also be a feint attack on the sea south of Wutong City, creating the illusion that the team entering the mountainous area is to cooperate with the main force at sea to capture Wutong City and the surrounding area.
At that time, in order to keep the Wutong City area, Elizabeth will definitely transfer the main force near Osmanthus City to the Wutong City area for defense, so that the surrounding area of Osmanthus City will be empty.
Then he can take the opportunity to capture Osmanthus City by surprise.
It's just that now it seems that the decoy operation was successful, and the status of the Sycamore City area in Elizabeth's heart was more important than he expected, so Elizabeth would rush to Sycamore City in person.
Sebastian then began to calculate the distance from Osmanthus City to Wutong City and the speed at which the elven army was marching.
Even if Elizabeth set out for Sycamore City shortly after the feint attack on the village, she could only come with a small number of cavalry. If it was a large army, it would take at least three days to rush from around Osmanthus City, which is why he asked Bob to hold out for four days.
And the main purpose of their operation this time is to eliminate Elizabeth, otherwise just laying down an empty osmanthus city will only have a superficial impact, and there will be no substantial benefits.
"Map. Sebastian shouted, and his lieutenant immediately delivered the map to him, along with a small lamp.
Sebastian studied the map and found that the best way for them to get to Sycamore now was to go back to where they had started last night, and then follow the route Bob had taken.
So he immediately ordered, all turned back, and then went straight to Wutong City to eliminate Elizabeth.
Sebastian also made a stretcher for someone to carry Danio on the road.
At this time, on the top of the hill that Sebastian was about to climb, the elven ranger scout lurking in the darkness couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the fish-man's team turn around, it seemed that the secret of the railway behind the mountain was preserved.
The Elven Court has not made public the details of their railway network, and the huge investment in the construction of the railway has led those who have entered the Elven Tree Sea to believe that the only ones that connect the northern city with the green city are the ones that connect the Elven Tree Sea.
If the messenger from the Sycamore City arrives a little later, then let Sebastian know about the existence of the railway after crossing the hill.
The elves believe that Sebastian can guess the role of the railroad, which will add a lot of variables to the battle.
Fortunately, Sebastian did not see the existence of the railway, and thus misjudged the situation on the battlefield in the future.
There are a number of reasons for Sebastian's error in judgment, one of which is related to the negligence of the prince of the Fish-Man Kingdom. Jenny knew the importance of trains to warfare, but he didn't expect that the elves of this world would spend a lot of money to build a railway network and use wurms to pull carts without the locomotive being made. He only thought that the elf's train was a railway carriage in the port area, where there were only a few kilometers away.
Another reason is that the map that Jenny got was published 400 years ago, and there is no trace of a railway on it. It's just that the owner of the map has taken it as a treasured collection for various reasons, so it looks like new.
It was precisely because of the miscalculation of the speed and efficiency of the elven army that Sebastian ended up tragic.
After they had walked back two hills, the long-awaited train on the railroad stepped up to pass after receiving the signal that it was passable, pulling the trainloads of soldiers to their destination.
The rangers lurking in the mountains began to leave the hill and quietly follow Sebastian's team.
Together with the members of the Royal Court Special Air Service Team who secretly protected Danio from being eaten by demonic beasts on the way, they would prevent Sebastian from comfortably rushing to the side of Sycamore City.
