Chapter 262: The Vanishing Legion
"General, aren't we going to continue to intensify our attacks?"
"No need, the soldiers are very attentive today, marching and fighting, this whole day has passed, if you don't stop, I'm afraid you won't be able to take the other party, and it will delay tomorrow's attack. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
The two people who were talking were naturally the two of the Marlon Legion, who had been storming the north gate of Shawan Harbor for a long time. The person who questioned him was the high-level warlock Nathan, the senior advisor of the Marlon forces. And it was none other than Malone himself who answered!
Ma Long attaches great importance to this battle, and it can even be said that he has fought the most important battle in recent years. In this way, of course, he is not at ease about entrusting his entire family wealth and such an important battle to others.
Morno once commented that Malone was a straw bale, and he had his opinion, but Malone would never admit it. In fact, this middle-aged man can raise such a big force from scratch in more than ten or twenty years, how can it be a real straw bag?
In the early years, Ma Long would often lead the army to fight everywhere - didn't he personally take action to subdue the red scarf sand thieves? Although he was disgraced, after using some means, the sand pirates were still included in his command.
Although, in recent years, Ma Long has been a little greedy for stability, his personal strength has stayed at level ten for a long time, and he rarely leads troops in person, but no matter what, he is an experienced battlefield general.
Originally, their plan was to quickly break through Verina's defenses at the north gate under a sudden attack, from the inside and outside, from both sides. But Verina's reaction was fast enough, and the defense line that had been set up in a short period of time was quite complete, and the fierce assault did not have the effect they wanted.
The plan was frustrated, but the scheming Malone did not stop at this, after a day of fighting without any results, and after his own weapon to deal with the city gate - the crashing car was all destroyed, he calmly ordered the team to retreat and rest, planning to fight again on another day.
But this was not in line with their previous plan to take Shawan Port as soon as possible, so there was an opening conversation.
Nathan asked, "If we can't take the north gate of Bay Harbor as soon as possible, if it drags on for a long time, will Dane come directly from White Wolf Castle?" The distance is not far, from getting the news to departure, it will take almost a day's time, even if you count the time to receive information and prepare for baggage, two days will be the most. ”
"Hehe......" Malone smiled, obviously talking about a very important issue, but there was no half worried look on his face.
For direct competitors, they have also heard of Dane's expansion plan. With the three thousand soldiers of the two reconstituted wings, plus the strength of the garrison corps, in terms of military strength alone, White Wolf Fort has surpassed Malone Manor as a whole. Obviously, if Dane's main elite support arrives on the battlefield, with the strength that Malone has now, it is estimated that he will not be able to defeat it.
But his appearance of not worrying at all made his senior adviser Nathan feel very strange.
"General?"
"Don't worry." Marlon patted the other party's shoulder and said, "Dane won't be able to come at least in a short time, and even if it doesn't work, the next time we hear from him, he may have turned into a corpse." ”
"Oh? Anything else? ”
"Hehe, otherwise I would have been so reckless as to storm Shawan Harbor?"
"The general is wise and powerful!"
……
That night, when Verina was suffering from the lack of food reserves on the defense line of the North Gate, Malone and Nathan were indifferent and did not take Dane's support troops seriously, and Dane was marching through the wilderness with his army.
When the news of the possibility of a battle in Shawan Harbor came, Dane immediately ordered the whole army to prepare, gathered the army as quickly as possible, and embarked on the road to Shawan Harbor to support.
So, at night, the army Dane had already covered almost a third of the way.
The rest of the road will not be able to be completed tonight, but at this rate, they will definitely be able to reach the battlefield outside Shawan Harbor tomorrow afternoon.
After all, the distance between White Wolf Fort and Shawan Harbor is still a bit far, unlike Malone Manor, which can be reached without running for a morning.
But it doesn't matter, Dane is very convinced that it is not realistic for Verina to repel Ma Long's offensive with the strength of the two thousand garrison corps in her hands, but relying on the city defense, it should not be a big problem to defend for two or three days. What he needs to think about more now is how he can get to the battlefield within the expected time during tomorrow's march?
This was originally a problem that did not need to be considered, according to the intelligence, Ma Long's entire force was under the Shawan Harbor, and it was impossible for any force to be able to block it halfway.
As for the possibility that there may be a small force to intercept it, Dane doesn't care about it at all: as far as the strength in Ma Long's hands is concerned, all of them may not be able to stop Dane!
Tactical methods such as ambushes are also unrealistic. In the land of Schindlaire, a bare wasteland, although it is better than the Eastern Wasteland, it is actually a vast place, and there is basically no complex terrain that can be used for ambushes.
Dane's concern was not due to Malone's obstruction. The source of his concern was a piece of information he had just received.
Beside the campfire, the dancing flames illuminated Dane's face solemnly. He threw the text message he had read into the fire and said, "That's a bit of a problem......
"That'...... What are we going to do? It was Chappell who was questioning, and his face was grim.
The information that Dane had just read was handed to him by Chappell himself. This is news from the Iron Nail Post, where the army stationed at the Iron Nail Post suddenly lost three thousand men four days ago.
This is very important news.
Iron Nail Gang is not a very large place, about twenty years ago, it was just a military outpost set up by a small warlord, for the purpose of war, of course. Later, both sides of the war perished over time, but the military outpost was not abandoned, but attracted many wanderers and gradually developed into a small city.
Today, Tiejiagang is already a small city with a population of four or five thousand, which is not developed, but it cannot be said to be poor.
The city, before that, was ruled by a warlord named Haman, and in the past, he was a staunch supporter of Governor Bernier and a staunch rebel against Governor Conley.
At the same time, he was one of the first small warlords to be cleaned up by Kangri. (To be continued.) )
