Chapter 149: Elite
After receiving An Xu's report, the matter of the barbarian supply depot attracted the general's great attention, and he immediately decided to send troops to uproot this supply depot.
In the fortress, An Xu saw the elite troops of the main battle legion.
Everyone is wearing heavy armor, well-armed, the average personal strength of the soldiers is more than two stars, the captain of each squad has reached the three-star level, in addition to more than a dozen military generals, these generals have outstanding personal strength, no specific official position, only obey the orders of the general, and are usually responsible for dealing with the masters of the barbarians.
After comparison, An Xu finally has some understanding of the level of the Wang ** team, first of all, the local guard corps, which is usually stationed in the hinterland of the kingdom, which is relatively scattered, and most of the soldiers are ordinary people, responsible for guarding the security of the kingdom, and the main targets are also roaming bandits similar to the lizard people, and the combat effectiveness is very average.
Up is the main battle legion, stationed at the border of the kingdom in peacetime, the soldiers have cultivated basic combat ability, ordinary soldiers can reach the level of one star, the main force is more than two stars, has experienced more wars, is well-equipped, and its combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the local guard legion, which can be regarded as the mainstay of the Huiye Kingdom.
And further up, it is the Royal Guard Legion, which obeys the direct dispatch of the royal family, and usually does not dispatch easily, it is said that the soldiers inside are uniformly practicing the advanced combat techniques provided by the royal family, as well as various resources to assist in cultivation, everyone's strength can be called terrifying, equipment, treatment, etc., are at the highest level in the kingdom.
However, due to the large cost of the Praetorian Guard Legion, there are only two legions in the entire Huiye Empire, and they rarely appear in everyone's sight, so An Xu does not know what their combat effectiveness is, and as for whether there is a hidden Praetorian Legion, ordinary people are even more unknown.
Generally speaking, the main battle legions of the kingdom are currently at the forefront of the battle, and one of them is stationed here in the Silver Ridge Fortress.
This elite unit that followed An Xu to act together, I heard that the entire legion was selected from the highly talented soldiers, after several years of key training, a main battle corps has tens of thousands, and there are only hundreds of people who can stand out, which shows the preciousness of these elite troops.
And this time, the general directly sent a squadron of elite troops, with hundreds of people, plus 500 ordinary soldiers, which shows the importance of this operation.
An Xu is mainly responsible for leading the way, to this point, the scale of the battle has increased, and it is not something that a mercenary like him can interfere with, anyway, just by discovering this information, he has earned a lot of points for the team, plus the points of the last escort mission, and the other teams have been left far behind.
The troops marched all the way, without the slightest intention of hiding, such a large team, it is estimated that it has long been discovered by the barbarian soldiers hidden in the mountains, rather than sneaking and slowly approaching, it is better to kill directly when the other party has no time to react.
The commander of the team is a squadron leader, and it is a woman, I don't know if all female soldiers like to waste war energy to maintain their skin, this squadron leader also looks very young, at most thirty appearance, with a stern eyebrow, maybe because he has been in the army for a long time, quite a bit of a vigorous and resolute taste.
This time, it was a purposeful journey, and it only took half a day to reach the vicinity of the mountain road along the route recorded by An Xu.
Hiding at the foot of the mountain, An Xu pinched his fingers and whistled, and after a while, a figure came out of the pile of rocks and came to An Xu.
"Don't be nervous, your own people!" An Xu gestured to the other soldiers, then looked at Ivan who was approaching, and asked, "Nothing happened, right?" ”
"The target is still there, but it seems that they have received the news and have all hid in the cave." Ivan replied, glancing at the soldiers behind An Xu with a slightly surprised look, apparently aware of the extraordinaryness of this army.
"It doesn't matter, although our whereabouts may have been exposed on the way, they are not sure that we are coming for the supply station, and there are so many supplies, they can't withdraw as soon as they want!"
An Xu turned his head and looked at the squadron leader: "Captain Jiang, the target is at the end of this mountain road, but there are many dark posts on the road, you see?" ”
Jiang Ling, that is, the name of the squadron leader, waved her hand domineeringly: "All obey the order, attack directly, and if you encounter a resistant, no one will be left!" ”
An Xu had already reported on the defense of the supply station before, and with his own lineup, there was no need to hide anything, just attack from the front.
With Jiang Ling's order, the soldiers launched an attack on the high ground in an orderly manner, lined up in front of the team were all shield warriors, followed by two rows of long-range archers, and there were several generals around them at any time, rushing towards the top of the mountain.
"Toot-" A horn suddenly sounded from behind a raised rock, and the barbarian sentry spotted the enemy and was alerting the troops at the supply depot.
"Hey, you dare to come out!" Ivan, who was following at the end of the line, raised his bow and arrow, locked onto the target almost in a second, and then fired a small arc of the projectile.
When the target hit, the long horn sound was cut off, and the barbarian rolled down from the pile of rocks.
"Good archery!" An Xu praised it in a rare leisurely manner, this time it was not their main attack, it was just to watch the excitement, the two of them walked far away at the end of the team, and they were quite interested in going out to play.
The advancing team met resistance halfway up the mountain, and several barbarian archers hiding in the high ground attacked, but under the onslaught of these hundreds of people, the sporadic resistance was in vain, and soon the team rushed to the cave in Ivan's mouth.
Dakai knew that he had been exposed, and the barbarians inside were no longer hiding, so he set up the proposed fortifications at the entrance of the cave and began to fight back, but the look on their faces became ugly when they saw this elite human force.
Those who have a little judgment ability know that they are definitely not the opponent of the other party.
Smoke billowed from the cave, presumably because the barbarians realized that the defeat was a foregone conclusion, and wanted to burn all the supplies inside, so as not to be robbed by the enemy.
"Ignore it, since they like to set fires, let's add fire to them, and get rockets on a long distance! And the two of you, lead your squad to the rear to intercept, and be sure not to miss one! Jiang Ling was unmoved, and stood firmly in a place with a wide field of vision to give orders, without even the slightest intention of making a move.
It is a pity that a large number of supplies are burned, but this is not the goal of this operation, as long as the hidden dangers of the nearby barbarian squads can be solved and the transportation routes can be guaranteed, then the materials in the fortress do not have to worry.
I have to say that the tactical literacy of the barbarians is indeed a bit unsatisfactory, they are completely thinking of what to do, they have considered destroying the materials, but they have not taken into account that if a fire breaks out in the cave, their situation will be worse.
Originally, relying on the fortifications at the entrance of the cave, they could resist for a while, but after using fire outside, they were completely caught in the middle, and it was difficult for them to retreat, and the choking smoke billowed out, so that these barbarians could barely open their eyes.
Seeing that the defense was about to be breached, several masters in the barbarian army could no longer hold back, and killed themselves from the cave under the cover of thick smoke, wanting to create a little chaos with their own brutal weapons.
Very strong!
The masters on both sides have at least three stars at the level of the high level, and some have reached the level of four stars or even close to five stars, and more than ten people are fighting fiercely together, and the ordinary soldiers around them can't intervene at all.
An Xu had no intention of joining the war, the scene was too chaotic, and he rushed into the battlefield, if he fell into a siege, even he would be difficult to parry.
In the end, it was the number of human generals who prevailed, and after a period of fighting, those barbarian masters were all on the battlefield, and at the same time, the defense of the cave entrance was completely breached.
As the last barbarian soldier of resistance fell, the human forces completely destroyed the supply depot at minimal cost of casualties.
