Chapter 358: The soldiers are divided into two ways
Ye Xiaofei pinched his fingers and calculated, Alista had no news for five days, and the communication with Beth City was also cut off for three days. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The fall of the Shadow Legion spilled out like water for the kobold scouts.
The army had a full day of repair, and set off in the evening, and it was extremely dangerous to march at night, but Ye Xiaofei's vague worry made it difficult for him to feel at ease.
The golden wolf and the silver wolf were urging the army to march one after the other, and suddenly two teams of dusty centaurs roared over, holding tokens in their hands, galloping with their hooves, one after the other, they actually passed directly in front of the two deputy army commanders, and went straight to the Chinese army.
The golden wolf and the silver wolf were just about to scold, a little discipline, no face, that unit? Punish them harshly to set an example. However, as soon as he spoke, before he could speak, he immediately turned into a rapid run and rushed towards the Chinese army.
No wonder, the 100,000 urgent tokens are by no means in vain, they can only be used if something big happens, otherwise if they lie about the military situation, this team of heralds will have their heads cut off. His life was on the line, and breaking into the barracks became a trivial matter.
Ye Xiaofei was in the Chinese army, hiding behind a minotaur, wearing a black hat on his head, his huge body was wrapped in a wide robe, even his skin was covered with gloves, and the human skin was fine and tender, even the newborn orc babies were not as smooth as human skin, and they could be distinguished at a glance.
The two teams of heralds arrived at Shuaiqi almost at the same time, but the Shuai banner was empty, all of them were heavily armored minotaurs guarding the guards, and they couldn't find the commander.
Ye Xiaofei's heart jumped non-stop with the appearance of the two teams of people, 100,000 anxious tokens, no wonder these two teams of rampaging teams can be unimpeded, their faces are tired and full of dust, they must be a non-stop rush, indicating that the news they send is by no means simple, the most important thing is that these two teams of centaur heralds, their nerves are jumping, even in their own army, they are still nervous, as if they can fight at any time, obviously they are worried along the way, and they can't slow down for a while.
Ye Xiaofei stopped half a step forward and said in his heart: In front of the public, revealing your identity is no different from looking for death. There is no hurry either.
The two teams of heralds didn't think so, and roared loudly with their tokens: "Where is the commander?" 100,000 urgent, can be presented. β
The heavy-armored minotaur guard was silent, but there was a short-eyed glance at Ye Xiaofei, and under Ye Xiaofei's angry kickback, he looked away in fear.
"Who are you?" The golden retriever roared with a gasp: "I'm the deputy commander of the First Legion, what's the matter?" β
The silver-haired wolf also rushed to the scene panting, and glanced at Ye Xiaofei strangely, isn't the commander there? What's the mess called? However, seeing Ye Xiaofei's blaming eyes, he immediately withdrew his gaze, stared at the two hesitant heralds, and said, "I am the deputy commander of the Fourth Legion." Don't be distracted, what do you have to say? It is not up to you to delay the military situation. β
"Which adult we are looking for, please present it to yourself." Almost unanimously, the two herald captains expressed the same opinion.
Almost everyone subconsciously looked at Ye Xiaofei, a thin figure hiding in the shadow of a heavily armored beef man.
Ye Xiaofei scolded secretly: Fuck, the orcs are all fucking lacking roots, Lao Tzu is working hard to endure it, what's going on with your uniform eyes? Collective lack of tendons? Or is it a collective betrayal? Even an idiot will understand. scolded and scolded, and had to come out.
The golden wolf and the silver wolf forgot to glance at each other in embarrassment, but they watched Ye Xiaofei come out and said, "My lord." One hundred thousand urgent pieces of information, one from Captain Alista, and one from Beth City. β
The army marched, divided into a small part of it, and hid under a large tree. There were many sentries around, only Ye Xiaofei, the two deputy legion commanders and the two herald captains stood together.
"My lord," the herald from the Alista Legion was still uneasy, and said, "Please show your true face, my subordinates know that this is rude, but for the sake of accurate delivery of information." The captain on the other side nodded as well.
Being so cautious, in exchange for heavy breathing, everyone knows, the general intelligence dares to do this, and it is pulled out and cut in minutes, so---
Ye Xiaofei showed his face, enough to see clearly, and immediately put on his hat again, and said heavily: "What about the letter?" β
"Please forgive me, there is no letter," before Ye Xiaofei became angry, the team leader added: "For the sake of secrecy, I can only speak orally, there have been more than a dozen waves of news before, and there is no news of all of them, if it is not for the herald you sent out, we will never send the herald again, even so, just in case, we can only dictate without any letters." β
"And how do you make me believe you?" Ye Xiaofei asked rhetorically: "Who can be sure that you are not an enemy?" β
"Your Excellency, please see." The squad leader sent a seal with an Arista dog-style signature, as well as the Legion Commander's seal, and a release date and expiration date, with the three human characters 'ID card' written on the top of the list.
Ye Xiaofei's eyes were round on the spot, who said that orcs have no brains to be in a hurry, this information confidentiality work has been done, and even the 'ID card' has come out.
"I believe it, you say."
"My lord, the Legion Commander of Alista has captured the elven border city of Nikko City, and the communication with Beth City was suddenly cut off, and then, a small force of elves appeared, constantly harassing them. The commander of the legion had no choice but to retreat to Sunshine City and send messengers again, hoping to get instructions, but all the liaison soldiers were gone, the day before I left, that is, the day before yesterday. The kobolds who reconnoitred found traces of a large army moving around, and it was believed that there was a large army lurking near Nikko City, numbering between 20,000 and 40,000. Captain Alista asks for quick support from the adults. β
Ye Xiaofei's heart fluttered, as if he had been smashed by a hammer, and he trembled.
"Don't see the Elf banner or anything?" Said worriedly: "Could it be that the Sun Elves dropped the king-level legion stationed in the Elven Royal Court back?" According to previous estimates, it is impossible to have such a large army in the territory of the Sun Elves, but if it is a king-level legion callback, they will directly come to the door and kill you, so why do you need to do more and lurk to find an opportunity? β
"My subordinates don't know." Obviously, no one knows this key point.
"What do you mean, Captain? Defending Sunshine City? β
"My lord, the legion commander doesn't know how, so he frequently sends liaison soldiers."
Nonsense, one regiment of the Shadow Legion can hold back the pace of two legions, and killing a few of you liaison soldiers is as easy as chopping vegetables, but fortunately, all the Shadow Legions are in the ditch, otherwise they are still fighting separately now, and there is no news.
Alista went deep into the elven territory, the military situation was urgent, and he used 100,000 urgent, so it is understandable that Beth City, which was in the rear, also held a 100,000 urgent token to cooperate with the performance? Apparently not, the heralds from Beth City were already sweating profusely.
"Something happened to Beth City?" Ye Xiaofei accidentally said what was in his heart.
The liaison soldier from Beth City hurriedly said: "My lord, please return to the city quickly, the front team of the 30,000 patrol troops of the beast clan has entered Beth City, as a last resort, the deputy commander of the fifth legion can only strangle them all in the city." β
"What?" Ye Xiaofei jumped up on the spot, the golden retriever wolf and the silver-haired wolf blew up on the spot, and their buttocks were on fire?
"The deputy commander of the Fifth Legion is also too bold to kill people without a sound? You make it clear, what exactly is the situation? It's the other way around? β
"My lord, stop being angry," the herald became even more anxious, almost biting his tongue, and said, "Originally, the deputy commander wanted to delay while sending someone to invite your lord back. However, many of the Fifth Legion were surrendered troops, and the surrendered troops told the advance team everything about it, and as a last resort, the deputy corps commander could only take his own soldiers to personally strangle them, even then it was too late, the first night, the advance team had already sent someone to report that the deputy corps commander said that in a few days, the 30,000 orc patrol troops were about to attack Beth City. Adult decides. β
"Such a big thing, Lao Tzu didn't hear any rumors, you--"
"My lord, morning, noon and evening, three waves of liaison troops a day, but all of them have no news, like a stone sinking into the sea. My lord--"
"Alright, order the army to stop."
After receiving the order, the silver-haired wolf hurried to give the order to stop the march. Suddenly, one by one, the dazed orcs stopped. They marched overnight, and they had only walked for less than four hours, and the moon had not passed midday, could something have happened?
As soon as the orcs stopped, they had nothing to do, and suddenly they roared at you, and I howled, one after another, like a party of ten thousand beasts.
"Your Excellency," the herald from Beth City suddenly handed over a letter, "Your Excellency, this is a letter from Para City, written by a human named Pami. β
"Pami?" Ye Xiaofei was startled, took the letter in fear, and muttered: "The north has become a mess, could it be that there is a big mess in Pala City?" That's going to kill me. β
Unfolding the envelope, Ye Xiaofei read it with apprehension.
Roughly speaking:
The White Tiger Legion, the Xuanwu Legion, and the Guards Legion have already set up the border of the elves as planned, and at the same time hired zero-hour workers from Para City to create a million-strong army of Chen soldiers, and at the same time sent envoys to state to the elven kingdom that this move is to prevent the invasion of the northern orcs, so that the elves don't have to worry, they don't want to fight you.
Having said that, the Sun Elves have done their best to transfer all the troops that can move in the territory, including reserve fighters and reserve militia, to piece together a defense line of 300,000 elves on the heap, and hold it against our side.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaofei sneered at the 300,000 elves, if there were really 300,000, with the character of the elves, he would have pounced on it a long time ago, instead of putting up a line of defense arranged with 300,000 elves. It is estimated that there are less than 100,000 elves, and they are also elves with low combat effectiveness, and they are barely able to defend a city.
At this point, it can be understood that the day elves bluffed, creating a guise of an army of 300,000 elves to deter the humans on the opposite side, but, according to actual emotions, this fictitious line of defense obviously cannot resist the attack of the human army's million-strong army, so Ye Xiaofei guessed that the main force of the day elves is in the direction of the border of Pala City, even if a king-level army is really drawn back, it will only suppress the border, not go north, then--
Ye Xiaofei was suddenly overjoyed, and said: "The enemy near Sunshine City will only be the second and third line troops, and it cannot be a king-level legion, in this case, if you can eat this army, it will be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and the day elves who are like frightened birds will definitely be desperate to transfer all the main forces of the expeditionary force to China." β
On the one hand, the millions of human armies are pressing the realm, and on the other hand, the orcs are breaking their covenants and brazenly attacking. On the other side, the moon elves, the day elves, and the night elves are facing each other in the elven royal court, and the contradiction is about to erupt.
The day elves are not embattled, but they are also in danger.
Ye Xiaofei stabilized his mind and continued to read, and a trace of panic immediately appeared on his face.
The letter said, "My lord, my wife went south, and I don't know what happened, but I just passed by in a hurry." Do you know?
"I know your uncle has a leg!" Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but scold angrily at the letter, looking a little out of control, the word 'madam' was so dazzling.
The lady is the Marquise, and the Marquis is Ye Xiaodie, that is, the elf princess Avril.
Ye Xiaodie, a female streamer, went south alone? Hell, didn't she go back to Beth City? Who sent her south? It was the Longtan Tiger's Den, a place where people eat without spitting out bones.
Ye Xiaofei pressed the impulse, and wanted to leave everything behind several times, go to her and ask her clearly, what do you want to do? What's the mess? What are you doing going south?
"Your Excellency, Your Excellencyβ"
The two deputy army commanders hurriedly shouted, Ye Xiaofei looked at the letter, his face turned pale all of a sudden, and his whole body trembled slightly, so frightened that they thought something big had happened, and his wheezing couldn't help but get a little worse.
Ye Xiaofei came back to his senses, he was already sweating profusely, the letter paper in his hand was pinched and broken, his clenched fists and nails were ruthlessly sunk into the flesh, and he exhaled deeply and said, "It's okay!" I want to be quiet. β
The others quietly retreated, but the clamor of the army grew larger and larger, and now the march suddenly stopped, neither disbanded nor stopped, nor did it say why, and when the march came, the whole army stood in such a daze.
Ye Xiaofei tilted his head sideways, dragged his chin with his hand, leaning on the pit of a big tree, under the swaying of the firelight, his eyes fell on the two words 'madam' from time to time, his eyes were full of worry.
"Girl, why did you go to such a dangerous place without making a sound? What the hell do you think? Going alone? Don't even bring a guard? At least you can pass through the city of Para and take my Praetorian Iron Lion Guard with you, and it will give me some peace of mind. Butβ"
If there was no latter sentence, Ye Xiaofei would regard this letter as good news, but at this time, what came to his face from this letter was overwhelming worry.
"My lord," the golden retriever wolf had to disturb Ye Xiaofei, how should the army choose, it can't be delayed any longer, if there is really no way, it's okay to camp on the spot.
"Camp on the spot." Ye Xiaofei spit out four words weakly.
The golden retriever wolf was pardoned, and he went to give the order with ease.
The warriors slept in their clothes, snoring one after another, and in the second half of the night, except for the patrols, most of the orcs fell into a dream. Of course, it is not the roar of nightmares that pierces the tranquility of the night from time to time, and it seems to be nostalgic for the sleepless nights of the previous days.
In the night battle, Ye Xiaofei silently marked on the map where the enemy might be, an elf army of two to forty thousand, lurking near Sunshine City, and its strength should be the second and third lines. On the other hand, an orc patrol army, 30,000 and the strength is also in the second and third lines, is marching towards Beth City.
Beth City is very important, all the food and grass supplies are in the city, and the only retreat for the Alista legion who entered the elven territory to fight is also Beth City, and all the loot, elven prisoners, are all transported to Beth City. Beth City is almost the core link of the entire campaign, once it is surrounded, it is equivalent to being pinched seven inches, and if it is captured, seven inches will be gone.
It's indisputable that Beth City is more important than Sunshine City.
Sunshine City, if you can eliminate the elf army hidden outside the city, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the Sun Elf clan, even the divine envoy can't stop the Sun Elves from withdrawing the decision to withdraw the expeditionary force, as long as the Sun Elves take the initiative to withdraw from the Hundred Clans Alliance, the strategic purpose of this battle can be achieved.
Nikko City, equally important, is only one step away from victory in the battle.
If this is in the eyes of the orcs, and the butt is on fire, it must be in a hurry to run back. However, no matter what his strategic intentions are, if the battle is won, it is the best policy to keep his ass first.
Only Ye Xiaofei couldn't make up his mind. Abandon Beth City and attack the elven army with all your might, forcing the Japanese elf expeditionary force to return home. The desired strategic objective will be achieved, but Beth City will inevitably fall, and the victorious orc army will have no supplies and no way out.
Another plan, the army in front of him will go to meet it, and the army of Alista in Sunlight City will be able to withdraw safely, and then the army will reverse and beat the 30,000 orc patrol troops of what kind of labor. Keep Beth City. Obviously, the price is to miss the purpose of the campaign that is about to arrive.
Ye Xiaofei is struggling on the map, how to choose, these are two diametrically opposed paths. At such a critical moment, the last sentence of the letter will uncontrollably come to my mind: 'My lord, Madame is going south, and I don't know what is going on, but I just pass by in a hurry.' Do you know? Immediately disturbed Ye Xiaofei's heart.
"Ye Xiaodie, what are you going to do?" Ye Xiaofei complained from time to time, even if his eyes fell on the map, he was only in a state of waiting, obviously thinking about people far away.
The torches around him were changed five times, and the overcast forest shone with a hint of white, and it was clear that the sky was going to be cold.
Ye Xiaofei had red and swollen eyes, and he couldn't care about any plans anymore, climbed the giant tree behind him, stood on the highest treetop, and looked around.
The stars disappeared, the yellow moon sank in the west, and the black forest swelled with black tree waves, undulating and undulating. It is the first ray of wind in the morning light, raging happily.
Ye Xiaofei's eyes couldn't help but look south: Ye Xiaodie, what do you want to do?
No one could answer him, but the early birds chirped and flew up the branches, looking for the early insects, and feasted on them, and from time to time one or two bold birds landed beside them, looking strangely at the things that were still standing in East Germany, looking sideways twice, losing interest, and leaning over into the woods to spread their wings and fly.
Out of the corner of his eyes, Ye Xiaofei watched the black shadows flying by, wishing that he had also grown a pair of wings, spread his wings and flew south, looking for the answer in his heart: Ye Xiaodie, what are you going to do?
Insects chirp and birds chirp, the early insects are eaten by the birds, and the early birds are eaten by the insects.
The sky is unconsciously white, staining the black tree waves with green, turning into green waves, one after another, relaxing and happy.
Ye Xiaofei barely held up a trace of spirit and jumped off the giant tree, sure enough, the two deputy army commanders under the tree had been waiting for a long time, and it was already eight or nine o'clock in the sun, and the orcs who had nothing to do began to fight, obviously the idle eggs hurt and had nothing to do.
"Adult ββββββ"
Ye Xiaofei raised his hand to stop it, and said with red eyes: "The deputy commander of the Fourth Legion listens to the order. β
"It's my lord!" The silver-haired wolf bowed his hands half-kneeling.
Ye Xiaofei took two steps back and forth with his hands behind his back before he said, "I order you to lead the Fourth Legion to return immediately to support Beth City." β
"Yes, my subordinates obey." When the silver-haired wolf interrupted Ye Xiaofei, he was in a hurry to carry out the order.
Ye Xiaofei paused, obviously startled by the silver-haired wolf's decisiveness and neatness, and shouted: "Come back, I haven't finished talking yet." Are you in a hurry to die? β
The silver-haired wolf came back with a face full of grievances, it's okay for you to pause for so long, thinking it's over!
Ye Xiaofei was actually about to phrase it, and said at this time: "I ordered you to go back, not to let you rush into Bess City." Just outside of the day's trip south of the city is the Elven Forest, where you lurk. The walls of Beth City are tall, the city defense is strong, and the 30,000 orcs will definitely not be able to attack it in a short time, I have a letter here, you arrive at the edge of the Elven Forest and send it to the deputy commander of the Fifth Legion. On the third day of the orc siege, if you fail to attack the city, you will inevitably lose your spirit, at that time, you command the fourth legion to cover from the back, and the fifth legion to attack from the city, and the front and rear attack, will inevitably break the enemy. β
"My lord," the silver-haired wolf's eyes lit up, staring at Ye Xiaofei and said, "You are so powerful." β
Ye Xiaofei said worriedly: "The most difficult thing about this matter is the beginning, most of the Fifth Legion is a pawn, if they suddenly open the city gate, let the enemy army into the city, or join forces inside and outside, and lure the wolf into the house, Bess City will fall at any time, this is a dangerous move, it can kill with one blow, and if you are not careful, you will also lose your life." β
The silver-haired wolf was no longer happy, but his face was full of worry, and said, "My lord, if they really enter the city, won't we lose Bess City?" It's too dangerous. β
"If Beth City falls, you immediately take the Fourth Legion to meet the Fifth Legion and withdraw from the battle, abandon Beth City, don't dwell too much, and retreat to the Elven Forest. This letter I sent to the Fifth Legion is to ask him to pay attention to the safety of the soldiers and the city gates. In the battle of Beth City, the victory or defeat is on these pawns. Execute the order! β
The 1st Army Corps continued to advance, and the 4th Corps quietly broke away and marched in the opposite direction.
"Your Excellency!" On the march, the golden retriever couldn't help but ask, "What about us?" Won't protect Beth City? β
"We?" Ye Xiaofei squinted slightly, smiled mysteriously, and said, "We are going to turn the Sun Elf upside down, our affairs are ββββββ big."
