Chapter 327 *

When marching with an army, not only is your trip delayed, but you also have to spend a lot of energy to carefully plan the route of the march for this team, how to replenish supplies, how to disguise and not be exposed, how to deal with the enemy, and so on.

But Smecta seemed to be familiar with the road, and the army went all the way south, attacked a small town, paraded more than twenty druids in the town in public, beheaded them, confiscated the druids' property, released all the elves and dwarves imprisoned by the druids, distributed all the food and supplies to the townspeople, and accepted five or six hundred followers.

Then he went all the way west, bypassing the cities, attacking only small villages and towns to get supplies and absorb some of his followers.

Higg didn't like this way of marching, not only did he expose the whereabouts of his army and bring endless trouble to himself, but also the new elves and organizational discipline were sloppy, and the weapons and equipment were improvised from the druid's warehouse, and there were all kinds of weapons, these people could not have any combat effectiveness at all, but would slow down their march and expose their goals to the druid's sight.

This may be Schneider's school, Smecta follows his father's business, and thinks that there is nothing wrong with this, and in their opinion, the more the number of troops, the better.

Twenty days to the west, the army only advanced more than 300 kilometers, and the distance from Yaksa City to Korqin City in a straight line was more than 900 kilometers, and now because of the detour, not even a quarter of the distance was completed, such a marching speed made Hig begin to go crazy. And the weather is starting to get hotter, and if you enter the rainy season of summer, the march in the jungle will be even more difficult.

Higg had to intervene in Smecta's plans for the march. First of all, the existing army of 4,000 people was expanded, with the original daredevils and veterans as the backbone, forming a team of 4,000 people, and secondly, the army went out of the jungle, changed the official road, and marched riskily, ensuring that it traveled 50,000 kilometers a day every day, and was absolutely not allowed to rest until the predetermined destination; In addition, after passing through the town and destroying the druids, they only supplied the army with a small amount of supplies, and no longer accepted any troops, and tried to avoid harassing the towns, provoking the druids to send a large army to encircle and suppress themselves.

The reorganized army of 4,000 men was greatly changed in spirit, and its sole purpose was to march and plunder the druids, which was not a problem for the dwarves and elves who were born as slaves and were accustomed to suffering.

Higg did this not only because he was not used to the marching style of Smecta, but also because he smelled danger. Smecta's method would inevitably lead to the enemy's encirclement, and Higg had to quickly and unconventionally jump out of the encirclement before the enemy formed an encirclement on him, so that the enemy could join the encirclement and strike at his usual marching speed.

……

Higg was still marching slowly, unbeknownst to him, the city of Korqin had been besieged for more than five months.

The city of Korqin was well defended, but the druid's army was besieging but not fighting. Soon after Higg left, when the city of Horqin had not completely collected all the food and supplies from the nearby villages, the druid sent 100,000 troops to sweep the surrounding villages and besiege the city of Horqin.

In fact, most of the grains in the forest country and druids refer to the fruits, seeds, yams, fungus, mushrooms, and roots, stems, flowers and leaves of many plants picked in the jungle in the autumn season.

When the druid army arrived, the city of Korqin had only collected half of its supplies, and until now, the food had run out, and the army outside the city had no intention of evacuating and attacking the city alive, and wanted to trap the 30,000 troops and 100,000 inhabitants in the city to death and starve to death.

The siege of the enemy made it difficult for the city surgeons Lin Cha and Thomas to help each other with Lu Fasi in the city, and there was a lack of military supplies produced by military workshops outside the city, and there was a lack of food outside the city. It was impossible for Corincha and Thomas to use guerrilla tactics against the Druids as they did on the Pamela Plateau to provoke the enemy, because the Druids' armies themselves were masters of jungle warfare, and it was quite good for them to hold on and keep some of their forces in check. In the Pamela Plateau, all supplies can be obtained through the logistics of sneak attacks on the enemy, and the tactics of sneak attack logistics cannot be used here, bending the bow and shooting once, there will be one less arrow, and if you break a knife and axe, you will have one less weapon, and there is no source of supply.

Looking at the countless tent camps outside the city from afar, Lan Xian'er still felt that she had made a mistake! She originally asked Lu Faxi to withdraw from Horqin City after collecting supplies, it was just winter at that time, and she jumped out of the enemy's encirclement before the enemy closed up, but she thought so, of course the enemy would think so, and the enemy would of course calculate that when Horqin City had not completely collected the materials in the autumn harvest, the army inside would not evacuate, so she chose to surround Horqin City at this time, so that the other party's materials were not completely collected, and the opportunity to get out of the city was lost, and they were completely trapped in the city.

"Sister Lan Xian'er! Your Highness the Princess! Thomas received the fireworks signal from the blue fairy and came to answer, "The young marshal didn't come back?" ”

"He's rushing here with 50,000 reinforcements, and he won't be able to get there soon!" Lan Xian'er smiled.

"Fifty thousand?" Thomas was surprised, "Where are the reinforcements?" ”

Even Maria's eyes widened, she didn't know where the reinforcements Lan Xian'er was talking about, obviously they were going to help the 50,000 rebels relieve the siege, why did these rebels become Higg's? was about to speak, but Lan Xian'er preemptively said, "Your young marshal's ability, do you still have little knowledge?" ”

"Great!" Thomas laughed and said: "I have been holding back my anger for a long time, and when the young marshal comes back, I will definitely take this anger away!" But when will the reinforcements of the young marshal arrive, Lu Faxi is estimated to be about to be unable to hold on! According to the information Marisa gave us a week ago, the city is now basically out of food, and General Lu Fasi has concentrated all the food in the city, all the soldiers and civilians, and only distributes half a day's rations a day! Even so, it may not last more than half a month! ”

"We can't put all our hopes on Higg, in the territory of the druids, a marching army of 50,000 will definitely be discovered by the enemy, and surrounded and intercepted, it is difficult to say which day it will be reached, we must find a way to save ourselves first!" Blue Fairy said, "Thomas, how much grain is there outside the city?" ”

"General Kolincha and I each set up three secret granaries, which could supply me with 30,000 troops in the city for four months! But it could not be transported into the city, and besides, it was not a matter of supplying the army alone, and if the 100,000 people in the city were completely cut off from food, there would be riots, so even if the grain could be transported in, it would only be enough to sustain the whole city for more than a month. According to the current half-day ration distribution, up to three months! But long-term hunger will make the army ineffective! ”

"I'll figure out how to bring grain into the city!" Lan Xian'er said, "You can't do anything outside the city!" The enemy's logistical supply came out of the city of Donauton, why not make a fuss about this route? You should be familiar with this route! ”

Thomas smiled bitterly and said, "Korincha and I have only 4,000 troops combined, and the enemy has long been prepared for our move!" Since the last time they first entered the country, their logistics baggage was intercepted by us once, and now the logistics materials are delivered once a month, each time there are tens of thousands of troops to escort, and I and Kolincha have been dealing with the enemy during this time, there is no military supplies in the city, and even the arrows are about to run out. In case we miss, we expose ourselves instead, and then we are surrounded and suppressed by the army, driving us out of this jungle, and the druid army is less of me and Corincha, and it will be even more difficult for General Lufasi! ”

"I'll let Marisa's patrol cavalry help you!" Lan Xian'er smiled, "Since I have a way to transport the military grain in, I have a way to transport the materials you need!" ”

"Storage ring?" Thomas was taken aback, "That's not ......"

"General Thomas, contact General Kolincha immediately, and let's figure out how to cut off the other party's supply line!" Blue Fairy took Thomas's words and said, "Hehe, they cut off our food, and we'll let them taste starvation!" ”

……

In the middle of the night, a golden five-clawed golden dragon appeared in the sky high in Horqin City, slowly circling and descending.

"Stop, who?" The two pegasus on duty at night flew up and wanted to stop the visitor, but when the two pegasus were still far away, they trembled and did not dare to move forward, if it were not for the master on their backs to force them, they would have turned around and fled.

The two female elves on horseback were also frightened when they saw the huge five-clawed golden dragon, and it was not until the five-clawed golden dragon slowly landed that the two female elves remembered to shout loudly: "There are assassins!" ”

The two flying horses also fell to the ground, one after the other, blocking the enemy in the middle, only to find that there was a golden dragon where? It's clearly a woman and a three-year-old!

The soldiers on night quickly gathered around and lined up next to the two pegasi, surrounding the so-called Assassins.

"What people!" A Pegasus warrior asked sharply, his expression full of shock, and now he could only think that he was dazzled.

"Madame!" Another Pegasus warrior recognized the "assassin" as Blue Fairy and hurriedly shouted.

"Silence!" Lan Xian'er said to the two Pegasus warriors, "You two, take me to the Arrow Road Faxi General immediately!" ”

"Yes, ma'am!" The two of them still looked stunned and hurriedly replied.

"What did you just see?" Lan Xian'er hugged Xindalf and followed the two female elves as she asked.

"We ......," a female elf hesitated before she could say anything.

"We didn't see anything, ma'am!" The other female elf immediately replied alertly!

"Good!" Lan Xian'er nodded with a smile, and then said with a sneer, "Since I haven't seen anything, if I hear something strange from someone else's mouth, do you know what a crime it is to lie about the military situation!" ”

"Yes, ma'am, but we didn't see anything!"
