The first victory did not dazzle the soldiers, because they did not know if they would be able to block the enemy's second attack. Even if the enemy has no baggage, even if he has basically no casualties, whether it is a phantom shooter or a dwarven warrior, he is exhausted. Especially the phantom archers, their bowstrings are made of the mane of authentic divine beasts, although the range is long and the strength is also very strong, but every time the bow is pulled, the arm strength used is much more than that of the ordinary longbow, if the other party holds on for another half an hour, maybe on the city wall, except for the four hundred reserves, no phantom archer can pull his bow again.

Moreover, the supply of arrows is obviously insufficient, which is a hasty expedition without the sequelae of logistics. The short offensive and defensive battle consumed sixty or seventy thousand arrows, and the small workshop of Horqincheng, even if it worked day and night, could only produce a maximum of 20,000 arrows a day, that is, more than ten per person. There are only less than thirty arrows that can still be used, which is only enough to deal with a siege of the intensity just now. Even the boulders for throwing are not many.

Blocking the city gate is to show the determination to stick to the death and never break through, but it also exposes his own hypocrisy, and the other party does not have to worry about the city opening the city gate to fight back. In the battle just now, Corincha has used all his hole cards. The enemy will attack at night tonight or arrive tomorrow with heavy troops, and it is difficult to say that he will be able to hold the city.

In the evening, a heavy rain unexpectedly came, washing away the bloodshed on the battlefield and relieving Korincha a little. The muddy field outside the city is a huge problem for the besieging side, and Corincha at least doesn't have to worry about the enemy's night attack tonight, as long as he arranges a regular sentry, the others can have a good night's rest.

What made Kolincha even happier was that this heavy rain would cause the enemy's baggage troops to arrive later, and the later the enemy would engage in large-scale siege operations, the more time he would have to prepare for war, and the greater his certainty. Tomorrow is the last day that Higg has given him the task of defending the city, and he hopes that this heavy rain will not affect his main force too much to reinforce this side.

……

However, after the merger of Hig's main forces and logistics, the troops did not reinforce the city of Korqin, but boldly marched to the heart of the enemy, the base camp of the Second Army, the city of Donauton. Because there was no baggage, no logistics, the march was not much slower than that of the enemy in the opposite direction.

Higg and Blue Fairy have Little White Cloud as their mounts, Phantom Marksmen, Elven Shooters and Dwarves are originally accustomed to jungle marching and fighting, although Lu Faxi has no mana, but his body is originally strong, and after Sigg's Phoenix Nirvana tempering, the jungle march is not slower than those jungle warriors. Jesse is a hunter and can also travel with the army. This is the first group of the marching echelon.

The second group, which was gradually drawn behind the line, consisted of nearly 4,000 crossbowmen and a number of wounded soldiers, including Mary and her thirty Crusader guards.

Heavy rain made the roads muddy, and the distance between the first and second groups widened and widened, reaching almost a day's distance.

"Boy, you can't go on like this!" "It's too dangerous for the team to get farther and farther away!" And with such a march, everyone is soaked, wet and cold, and they have to get sick! The soldiers are complaining and must stop! ”

"Blue Fairy!" Xige pointed to the sketch of the march drawn by Lu Faxi, and said to the blue fairy beside him, "You and Xiao Baiyun will return to the second group immediately, and you don't have to go any further!" Let Thomas set up camp on the spot, pay attention to the enemy's movements, spot the enemy's main force, and let Butterfly Caiyun quickly inform us! ”

"Why am I going?" Lan Xian'er said curiously.

"Madam, the commander must share weal and woe with the soldiers, you can't use the little white cloud in the march anymore, so you can only leave the first group temporarily! Only Xiao Baiyun can convey this order the fastest at this time! "Give Little White Cloud to Thomas, he is the best cavalryman!" ”

Higg said, "Don't act rashly, don't divide your troops! ”

"Okay, stay safe!" After Lan Xian'er finished speaking, she turned her horse's head and disappeared into the vast rainy night.

"The whole army will rest on the spot and leave at dawn!" Higg ordered.

Higg knew that if he did not arrive in time for the city of Donauton, Korincha would probably be completely annihilated, and his expedition would be a complete failure, and in any case, he must reach the appointed place by the evening of tomorrow, which is equivalent to two days' journey.

But as Lu Fasi said, the soldiers were so tired that they had to go hungry and have to travel long distances to keep their tension high at all times, and even the iron-clad army would be crushed by themselves. If it weren't for the morale of the God of War of the Medal of Warriors, the morale of the army would have been weakened a long time ago! Now marching at night in the rain is too inefficient, and the soldiers are taboo. Instead of this, it is better for the whole army to rest well, and when the weather conditions are good, they will go all out. The weather was not good for him, it was just as bad for the enemy to attack the city, and I hope that Korincha will hold out a little longer.

Higg had to gather all the generals, commanders, and commanders to convey the strictest military order since he marched and fought, "Those who miss the deadline will be killed!" I don't ask why, and no matter how difficult it is for you, if one of your soldiers can't reach the city of Donauton on time, I won't behead the soldiers, I'll behead you! Except for weapons and equipment, all items and materials are given to dwarven slaves. Phantom archers and elven archers only carry twenty arrows, everyone, only one day's dry food, and the excess is either eaten or thrown away! After dawn, let's take the big road! ”

……

When Lan Xian'er and Xiao Baiyun arrived at the second group of Thomas's department, the sky was already bright, and the heavy rain had gradually stopped, and those crossbowmen really couldn't walk, and they were crying bitterly. The news of the halt of the march brought by Lan Xian'er finally relieved them, they only needed to find a suitable place, which could not only set up camp, but also contain the enemy's movements, and then they could set up camp tents and sleep peacefully.

"Can this team still fight?" Lan Xian'er looked at the embarrassed Thomas and Butterfly Caiyun, and said with a smile, "If you have an encounter with the enemy, I think you will have to be wiped out!" ”

"Hey, ma'am, are you here to overseer the army?" Thomas said, "With a war horse, I wish I could fight right away!" ”

Thomas rode on the back of Little Baiyun, and shouted loudly: "Check the equipment and reinstall the bowstring immediately!" After an hour, head towards the main road! With that, he turned his horse's head and galloped away.

As the day dawned, Thomas needed to find a suitable camp site as soon as possible, so that he could arrange for his team to rest immediately, a place that would keep him safe and keep an eye on the enemy's movements.

Thomas, who had a war horse, galloped in the jungle with Little Baiyun, like walking on the ground, Thomas was in a good mood, because he could finally ride Little Baiyun to charge into battle again......

"Quick, push hard!" A voice shouted, accompanied by the sound of a leather whip.

Thomas immediately dismounted, and lurked with Little White Cloud into the dense forest beside the road.

Through the hazy morning mist, an army of centaurs and dwarves guarded a long convoy of three or four hundred carts, not carriages, but ox carts. The ox cart was covered with tarpaulin, apparently for fear of getting wet in the rain, so he didn't have time to lift it.

At least two thousand centaurs, two thousand battle dwarves, interspersed in the convoy, and a few thousand dwarven slaves, also followed the ox cart and pushed forward with great difficulty, slowly advancing in the direction of Korqin City. The battle dwarf's leather whip beside him landed on the slower slave dwarf's body with a snapping sound.

"Logistics baggage troops!" Thomas almost screamed, and at the age of sixteen he began his march with Higg, knowing very well the disposition of his baggage troops. Although the ox cart is slow, it carries much more goods than the horse-drawn cart, so when it is necessary to transport large equipment in the army, it is generally equipped with an ox cart, especially when marching in the jungle where the road conditions are not very good, the ox cart is the best means of transportation!

But the enemy was too bold and risky, and the baggage army was only equipped with this little force to guard, two thousand centaurs, two thousand battle dwarves, of which these battle dwarves themselves were not baggage guards, but baggage soldiers, so the real escort was only two thousand people.

Thomas was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that he would receive this unexpected gift because he couldn't keep up with the large army. As soon as it rained, they marched to Korqin on muddy roads, indicating that the enemy was in a hurry to attack the city, and the robbery of this heavy army would reduce the pressure on Kolincha to defend the city by half.

It was nearly a day's journey from Korqin City, and it was enough time to eat this army silently.

Thomas immediately flew on his horse and returned the way he came.

……

"Assemble everybody!" Thomas, who had just arrived at the camp, immediately ordered, "All generals and commanders, come to me at once, quickly!" ”

Blue Fairy and Maria hurried over and asked, "What happened?" ”

"The enemy's logistical baggage army!" Thomas blurted out excitedly, "It's less than twenty minutes from here!" ”

Mary exclaimed, "You're going to rob them?" Does our army still have the strength to fight? ”

Lan Xian'er asked, "How many are there?" ”

"The guards are on par with us, but they are all centaurs and baggage soldiers, so there is nothing to fear!" Thomas said, "We are tired, and the enemy is even more tired!" They march slowly, we can find a place forward to ambush them and catch them by surprise! ”

The generals and commanders quickly gathered, looking listless and without fighting spirit, and Thomas couldn't help but be furious: "We have already missed the deadline and have been left far behind by the main army, and what awaits us will be a severe punishment!" Generals, generals, if you want to make meritorious service for your crimes, cheer up your spirits, and we will atone for your sins! ”

"General, what does it mean to atone for your sins?"

"Hahaha, less than twenty minutes from the main force, the enemy's logistical baggage army is passing by, the troops are weak, demoralized, and exhausted! In front of his wife, General Ben promised that if we defeated this army and seized the logistics materials, not only would we not have done it, but we would have merit! ”

The blockbuster news made all the generals and commanders a little unresponsive, you look at me, I look at you, and I will be suspicious.

Lan Xian'er said: "To win this battle, I am willing to personally ask Young Marshal Higg to be relieved of your responsibility for missing the deadline, and personally ask for credit for you!" ”

Thomas shouted and asked, "Let me question the generals, are you willing to be punished, and you are willing to make meritorious service to death?" Can you still fight, can you win? ”

"We can fight, we can win! ……”

"Give you ten minutes to mobilize, and set off in ten minutes!"
