Chapter 102: Food and the Osaka Battlefield
Tired tired tired, anti-piracy ......
Tired tired tired, anti-piracy ......
Tired tired tired, anti-piracy ......
In autumn, the wind and sun are still beautiful, and you can see the smoke of the villages in the mountains in the distance. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It's just that this neighborhood has been reduced to a battlefield, and the so-called cooking smoke is also a fire that ignited the village after the robbers burned and looted.
A group of cavalry passed quickly, clearly distinguishing from the costumes of the Eastern soldiers, as well as rifles and lily banners on their backs, indicating that these men were the Bretanian Eastern Expeditionary Force.
There was no sign of the living in the village, and the men searched hastily and left, but found no pretender hiding in the trees.
After the cavalry left, a few guys in black ninja costumes jumped down to meet, but it was really puzzling why they wore such conspicuous clothes in broad daylight.
"Kojiro-sama, this is the second wave of Xiyi cavalry that appeared today, and it seems that the Nobunaga army is getting closer and closer."
"Well, don't be careless, although these Xiyi cavalry don't have much combat effectiveness, those iron cannons are really powerful......"
The melee combat ability of the ninjas is indeed higher than that of the Eastern Expeditionary Force, and they are good at all kinds of fighting skills, and they will also have a lot of indiscriminate moves, and it is very annoying to fight alone.
It's just that in this era, in the face of the troops operating in groups, these ninjas can play less and less roles.
The ninja army led by Kojiro has long found the location of Lorraine's large army, and along the way, they constantly want to sneak attack, assassinate, and poison, anyway, how to get trouble.
The problem is that these Xiyi are not set at all: the water pollution cannot be used, so they simply use magic to summon clean water to drink; If there is a problem with fresh food, open the canning directly; A sneak attack is only useful for the first five seconds, and as soon as the five seconds are up, bullets will fly, and if you don't leave early, you will be killed immediately.
Thinking of such a painful detective life during these days, Kojiro's whole face was about to be distorted.
"I don't know when the eldest sister will notify us to go back?"
"That's right, it's better to be at sea......"
No one knows the sighs of the street fighters except themselves, and Lorraine is about to die of annoyance from the logistics of food and grass.
There are indeed many cities near the damn Bantang Mountain, but it's a pity that they are all grass on the wall, and as long as a large army comes, they will defect, but they can't help at all except crying.
"Sir, our grain and grass have been attacked again, and we have lost ten loads of rice, and can you replenish our ammunition, which is almost running out?"
"I know that the whole army is short of ammunition now, and I need a territory with enough magic and relatively complete resource reserves to establish a frontline base......"
"Wouldn't it be nice to just knock over those Dongying cities? Those nobles would never dare to say anything, huh? ”
"The problem is, they're all poor ghosts!"
Faced with the complaints of his subordinates, Lorraine almost wanted to cry, and once again experienced the pain of lack of supplies during the Northern Expedition.
In the area where I am now, except for some food, there is no industrial product at all in the city, and all the iron cannons and gunpowder found are substandard products, and they dare not use them for soldiers at all.
What's even more terrifying is the military art troupe, these powerful troops who provide healing for the wounded, magic assistance, and spiritual and physical comfort, are actually some big stomachs!
Except for the ghost girl, everyone else, whether they are humans or youkai, are all starving ghosts and reincarnated, and they have to eat a lot of food at every meal, and each member can eat the food of three soldiers on average.
The rapid consumption of grain and grass can also crush the surrounding cities, but the problem is that there is not enough ammunition and the daimyo who cries poverty every day is really heartbreaking.
"Forget it, I'll wait for my news, and I'll notify you if there's supplies!"
"Yes......"
The officer left in low morale, and in a blink of an eye, he ran to the military art troupe to seek comfort, listening to the "sublimation symphony" over there, which was really envious, jealous and hateful.
"Lorraine, are you here?"
Murong Ying did know these news, she was not very optimistic about these mercenaries, she only accepted them because of the persuasion of lobbyists, these people are said to be regular troops who don't know where Song Guo is!
"Look at what kind of regular army these are, I originally wanted to rely on them to grind at least half of Xiyi, but now it's okay, they won't have a few dead people before they penetrate the entire temple complex!"
"Miss, don't be angry! We also have the blessing of Mazu Temple, and they don't have many monks, and the ammunition consumption is huge, so they will definitely not be able to beat us! ”
"That's nice, what the hell is wrong with my fleet!? Why hasn't the cannon been fired yet!? ”
"Miss, it's not good! Because of the tides, the battleship could not get within range! ”
"What!? How could such a thing happen while parked in the harbor!? ”
Murong Ying's whole person was not good, and her beautiful face became extremely distorted at the moment, like a demon holding her little brother's collar, "Say it again!" What the hell happened to those bastards in the fleet? ”
The style of the eldest sister, who has always been beautiful and chic, has changed greatly, which really makes this little brother very scared, but the truth is as he said, "This, this is the blessing effect of the Mazu Temple...... It is said to be the consequence of the ancient masters' treatment of sea troubles, and this phenomenon occurs at this time of year...... It lasts about ten days......"
Murong Ying raised the binoculars, the fleet was obviously not too prepared for this sudden environmental situation, and saw that countless sailors on the ship were busy, but unfortunately there was no way to support the defense on the shore.
"I'm careless, I didn't expect the Mazu Temple to have this kind of function......"
"Eldest sister, the Song army in front has retreated again, what should we do?"
"What else can I do!?" Thinking of the appearance of so many baskets in the battle he planned, Murong Ying's anger had already exploded, and he directly pulled out his scimitar and musket, "Stand up for me and prepare for battle!" ”
If you look down from the sky, the defenders of the Bantang temple complex are divided into several parts early, just like the butter that has encountered a red-hot knife.
The local Dongying soldiers did not know what to do for a long time and were running around, and a few temple monks and monks remained at the main temple to defend them.
The mercenaries of Songguo lived up to their reputation, greedy for life and fear of death to a certain point, more than a third of the troops were captured or scattered, and more people fled this unfortunate place with the boss and advanced to the unknown territory around them.
I always feel that in the days to come, no matter who occupies the Bantang area, they will have to fight with these routs who are destined to become bandits.
Finally, Murong Ying's pirate group was gradually surrounded by the expeditionary legion at the main temple, but Lorraine was a little worried about the next attack.
Facing the obvious aura of magic in the main temple, not to mention low-level zombies.
