Chapter 179: A New Journey
With the return to the city, Higg didn't have to worry about how the two hundred newly graduated officers he had obtained would reach the Roga River Plain and the Silent Forest. By placing these two hundred officers of Fuxing City in the armies of the Luojia River Plain and the Silent Forest, and then slowly promoting them according to their personal ability and military merits, Higg did not have to worry about the Fifth Legion getting out of control again. Coupled with the fact that Shante is a general appointed by Catherine, he can be directly appointed to a first-class general, and Higg can fight with complete peace of mind.
Higg, who quietly returned to Bavaria City from the Magic Guild, set up the formation place for the return to the city, and then quietly returned to Fuxing City, set up the formation in the barracks, and Higg, who drove the magic, teleported the two hundred officers in the formation and Shante to Bavaria City, thousands of kilometers away. Two hundred officers and Higg disappeared into the barracks in an instant, leaving only Rogson and Snoring with their mouths wide open......
Fuxing City in the south is already in the early summer season, and the ice and snow in the Luojia River Plain are still melting, because the surrounding mountains are snowing, so that the Luojia River water is surging, and the turbulent Luojia River flows from north to south, gushing out of the Luojia River Plain.
Higg brought a letter of appointment from Queen Catherine, and he temporarily took full charge of the affairs of the Fifth Legion, rightfully in charge of the Fifth Legion, and he will lead the Fifth Legion on a new journey.
Shante was directly appointed as a general and stationed at the fortress of Giscol, where he commanded nearly 50,000 men, all of whom were not very cooperative with Higg at the beginning; The fortress of Ovara was garrisoned with 70,000 men, led by Kolincha, and there were only more than 20,000 disabled soldiers and more than 20,000 recruits left in the army camp in Bavaria.
"Boy!" Altai ran into Hig's barracks in a rage and said, "Where are the five hundred dwarven craftsmen you are talking about?" ”
Now Higg began to have a headache, and brought Altai to Bavaria City originally to let him help replenish military equipment and baggage equipment, but he didn't expect him to really come over with Noah more than a month ago, remembering the five hundred dwarven craftsmen who promised to equip him, and before he had time to go to the Silent Forest to arrange, this crazy old man came to the door in a hurry.
"In the Silent Forest, I haven't had time to transfer it yet!" Higg had no choice but to tell the truth.
Altai said angrily: "Then what are you lying to me about coming here? You make it clear to me! ”
Higg smiled, "Old man, do you have anything else to do in Fuxing City?" I don't lack materials here, there are many raw materials, but no one can quickly process and produce, and I am very dissatisfied with the things they produce, only crazy old man, I like your products the most, haha! In ten days, I will move all the dwarves here for you, and you will lead them to help me build an arsenal, how about it? ”
"The arsenal is boring, I've done enough in Fuxing City!" Altai said.
"That's a pity, I still have so many whimsical things to produce, so I have to hand them over to someone else!" Higg laughed.
"What else?" Altai wondered: "Apart from sleds and skis, you have anything else I haven't seen?" ”
Higg said: "Crazy old man, you claim to be the best manufacturer in the world, you say, where do ordinary high-tech products come from? ”
"Where did it come from?" Altai asked, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”
"You know very well my path of magic learning, and the emphasis is on practice!" Higg said, "Because I know that all magic skills are not made up by magicians in the laboratory of the magic hut, it is all because of the needs of practice, and the magic skills imagined by the laboratory of the magic hut are divorced from actual production and life, and can only be popular for a while, and will eventually be eliminated." Isn't that the case in manufacturing? If you want to have good ideas, good products that can be passed on to the world, can you rely on your own imagination? ”
"You want me to join you in the actual battle?" Altai asked.
"I didn't think so!" Higg said, "Crazy old man, the real good things come from the needs of production and life, the need to change the world, and from the wisdom of people. What is the fastest and most direct way to change the world? It's war, and war is at the forefront of all technology. My sleds, skis came from the war, right? Now in the alchemy country, it has developed into other industries. Crazy old man, you claim to be the best manufacturer, but you are seriously out of your own frontier, how long do you think you can carry this title? ”
Altai smiled: "Speaking of which, in fact, you just want to fool me into staying and helping you produce military industry!" ”
"Actually, you're already excited, aren't you?"
"Okay, I'll stay and help you build the arsenal!" Altai said, "But if you have any strange ideas, or want to do anything strange, I want to be the first to know!" ”
"It's a deal!" Higg laughed, "I promised to give you five hundred dwarven craftsmen in ten days, but I need to advise you, crazy old man, to keep your wine in mind and don't let those drunkards steal it for you!" ”
……
Altai's departure gave Higg a long breath, and now he still had a lot to do, how could he have time to chew his tongue with these crazy old men?
Of the 250,000 Medals of Warriors, 50,000 were left for Rogerson in Fuxing City, how to distribute the other 200,000, are the Medals of Warriors really that powerful?
Summer in the New Jersey Mountains is coming, and it is necessary to guard against the Coldes following his example and climbing over the snow-capped mountains and sneaking into the Luojia River Plain.
SMS and Benjamin have been in the war with Curdes for a long time, how did they win or lose?
After last year's strategic failure, what kind of adjustments will there be this year? How will you cope?
and so on, all of these things need to be dealt with by Higg personally, and the most troublesome question is the last one, what will Arad do, he doesn't have any bottom in his heart!
……
"Your Royal Highness, do you want to retreat?" In the mountains of Pamela, an elven guard asked Benjamin, "We have given up Camp No. 1 and No. 2, and now there are only Camp No. 3 and No. 4 left, so many people are here, how to arrange it?" ”
"If you don't keep retreating, how can Curdes come in?" Benjamin smiled, "He has been beaten and scared, and he doesn't dare to divide his troops to go deeper, and now the army is twisted into a single force, and we don't want to be provoked, so we have to run away!" Rest assured, deep in the forest, I'll have a way to deal with them! The camp is not built by the dwarves, and if it is not enough now, let the marksmen live first, and you will live in the trees first! ”
"Yes!"
It had been more than three months since Benjamin entered this mountainous area, and the initial harassing attacks did not attract much attention from Curdes, who thought it was just a rogue style used by a division of Simaks, but slowly he discovered that this army had no infantry at all, and all the soldiers who participated in the battle were crossbowmen, very strong crossbowmen. Crossbow arrows and longbows have a long range, and the most incredible thing is that this army can move quickly in the forest, and even the griffons are difficult to find them, like ghosts.
After several attacks in quick succession, Curdes finally discovered that it was a coalition of elven archers and marksmen. The Forest Nation is at war? Caldes was alarmed that he had reported his exploits in capturing Camp Simak to the coalition headquarters, where he reached Arad and was commended. The Coalition Headquarters instructed Curdes to continue to occupy the camp and eliminate the Simak Division, waiting for the arrival of summer to cross the New Jersey Mountains and enter the Rodja River Plain.
But now the Coldes are really in a dilemma. Tens of thousands of Simaks disappeared into the mountains, and they couldn't find them for a decisive battle, but they were constantly attacked by small groups of Simaks, and almost every day their troops were harassed by different sizes, and the scale of the battle was very small, and as soon as the two sides made a little contact, Simak's men and horses killed and injured a few, a dozen people, and dozens of people withdrew, and when Curdes's men and horses reacted, the battle was basically over.
The Smickers Department of the Coldes alone was tired of coping, but then there was a coalition of elven archers and marksmen in his rear that was more difficult than the Smickers Department, and they were even more ruthless than the Syms, killing and wounding their own troops in hundreds of people at a time on a large scale, which made the Cirdes very annoyed but helpless for months, and almost went crazy.
Curdes had no choice but to report the news of the Elven Hands' entry into the battle to the coalition headquarters, but concealed the shameful fact that he had lost forty or fifty thousand men in the mountains.
Curdes began to devote most of his energy to encircling Benjamin's army of several thousand men, knowing that this army had no infantry, only marksmen, and as long as he could fight in close combat, he would have a chance to annihilate it in one fell swoop. Curdes formed a large army of 10,000 people and began to search mountain by mountain, and the griffins in the air cooperated with the reconnaissance, which did cause some trouble for Benjamin, so he could only keep retreating and enter deeper mountains, waiting for the opportunity, he had the patience to play with Curdes.
Looking at the empty camp left behind by Benjamin, Curdes longed to burn this mountainous area, but unfortunately the snow had just melted, and this muddy mountainous area could not be lit at all.
Benjamin's contraction defenses, which eventually united all the warriors of the four camps with more than 5,000 men, were about to give a stern warning to Curdes who dared to venture deep into the forest.
The elven archers of two hundred men led a team of 10,000 men from Caldes to their predetermined location, a narrow strip of muddy and low-lying land caused by the melting of snow on both sides. Despite the caution of the leading general, by the time he found himself in the right terrain for an ambush, most of his men were already in the middle of the panhandle.
"Quick, disperse to the dense forest on both sides to prevent the enemy from sneaking up!" The leading general commanded loudly.
As soon as the words fell, there was this shout in the dense forests on both sides, and the rain of arrows composed of countless arrows shot towards the soldiers who were about to assault the dense forest.
"Watch out for concealment, assault!"
Countless people who were hit by arrows fell, and many more rushed towards the Jungle Forest, trying to get as close as possible to the crossbowmen and elven marksmen, so that the damage from ranged attacks could be greatly reduced.
