Chapter 35: The Thunder Expeditionary Force
It was not easy to get to Ethelsor to fight, and to get there, you had to climb over the mountains in between. The long way www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion would have to go south to bypass the Stone Forest and Filas, but it would take at least a few months to reach Ethelsor in this way.
The minotaur couldn't stand it for long, and Lu Zhongli didn't want to waste time like this. He needed to get this unit to Ethelsor in the shortest possible time.
In just two days, the entire elite of Mogaolei was transferred to Bardan, and the army from Thunder Bluff added up to a total of 12,000 people.
Lu Zhongli divided the vanguard army of 1,000 men into 1,000 people, led by Illidan, and divided the left and right army of 2,000 people, led by Thunderstorm and Lu Rong.
The northern part of Bardan was the closest to Ethelesso, and Lu Zhongli handed over his troops to the commander of Carrod, and he himself flew over the weakest part of the mountain range first.
Take out the dragon tendon rope, use the dragon tendon rope as a whip, and whip it hard to the top below. The mountain that was pumped immediately exploded as if it had been hit by a huge impact, and stones flew everywhere. Lu Zhongli waved his sleeves, and a gust of wind came into being, rolling up the stones and flying in the direction of Ethereso, piling up on the nearby hills.
Whipping the mountain to move stones, flying sand and stones, Lu Zhongli used two supernatural powers in a row to remove the weak place of the mountaintop. Lu Zhongli continued to whip the mountain, and the two supernatural powers were used alternately, and soon a road in the mountain was hard enough to pass through thirty or forty people at the same time, and an artificial canyon was created.
Lu Zhongli descended from the sky with some exhaustion, and as soon as he sat down to rest, Illidan galloped into the canyon with a thousand cavalry of the vanguard.
"Lu, how are you?" Illidan asked with concern.
Lu Zhongli waved his hand, "It's not a big deal, it's just a little overexertion." ”
"That's good." Illidan stood beside Lu Zhongli, then waved his hand and told his men, "Keep going."
The vanguard took the lead and waited for a while for the large army to arrive, and Illidan handed Lu Zhongli to Carrod before riding the Frostblade Leopard to chase after his men.
Carold helped Lu Zhongli onto the Frostblade Leopard, "Brother-in-law, do you need to take a break?" ”
"It's okay, let the army move on, we're going to go through this canyon and go to the other side of the mountain. This canyon must be guarded, and the sooner we cross the canyon, the sooner we build a fortress, and block this canyon, so that the centaurs will not be able to enter Mogaure. However, we have a bridgehead for attack, which can be attacked and defended, and we are invincible. "Lu Zhongli's spirit is still good, he just consumes too much Dao power, so he will lose his strength.
"Okay!" Carold also knew the truth of the speed of the soldiers, so he did not insist, and immediately let the large army advance.
Half a day later, the large force reached the other side of the mountain. There were still a lot of small stones in the canyon that Lu Zhongli had created, but Illidan and his vanguard had cleared a road for a large army to pass.
This also slowed down the vanguard army, and Illidan did not rush out of the canyon, but built a simple fortification at the end of the canyon, then boiled water and cooked, and waited for the arrival of the large army before making a decision.
Illidan scattered the scout, and soon the scout returned, not far from the valley where the minotaurs were besieged, and it was almost a hundred miles or so as long to ride the frostblade leopard for half a day.
After the arrival of the large army, Illidan immediately reported the situation to Lu Zhongli, who held a combat meeting. After synthesizing the intelligence of Illidan's investigation, Lu Zhongli gave an order:
"Illidan, tomorrow the vanguard will set out early in the morning and march north. This time you have a heavy task, first, you must send the scouts farther away, so that the centaurs do not know that someone is coming; Second, you should feel the valley where the minotaur is surrounded as soon as possible, if the minotaur is not in any danger, try not to show up, if the minotaur really can't withstand the attack of the centaur, you are leading people to appear, but don't fight hard with the centaur, lure the centaur to pursue, and use the retrospective arrow against them. ”
"Yes." Illidan left after receiving the order, and he still needs to inform the team in advance, otherwise something may go wrong early tomorrow morning.
"Carrod, you stay with a thousand people and build this place into a fortress as soon as possible, we can't know the exact number of centaurs, so we need to be invincible first."
"Understood." Carold was a little weak.
"I know you want to go to war, but you are needed here!" Lu Zhongli said soothingly: "The most important thing on the battlefield is discipline, if you want to go to the battlefield, you must first learn to listen to orders."
"Yes!" Carol immediately raised his head and said, his spirit was much better than just now, and he was really afraid that Lu Zhongli would not let him go to the battlefield.
"I'll keep the Crowe Stonehorn Soul Vessel, and when the fortress is officially built, Crowe will defend it, and you'll have a new mission. Also, be sure to watch out for possible attacks by the centaurs, as the expeditionary force is in your hands. ”
The code name of this army is the Thunder Expeditionary Force, and Lu Zhongli decided to make this name official. However, considering that the number of each army is not so easy to obtain, Lu Zhongli has not announced it for the time being, and will only make it public after the victory of the war.
Early the next morning, Illidan set off with the vanguard army, and after an hour, Lu Zhongli also set off with a large army, and Thunderstorm and Lu Rong were two kilometers to the left and right to protect the safety of the Chinese army.
Along the way, Illidan avoided a large number of centaurs, and a few centaurs were killed, quickly burying the corpses and continuing on the road.
After two days of lurking, Illidan finally came to the valley where the minotaurs were besieged. However, it was not peaceful for the time being, and the centaurs probably continued to attack for a long time, and when they found that there was nothing they could do with the Minotaur, they suspended their attack and surrounded the place in an attempt to starve them to death.
Illidan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the minotaur was not attacked, then his assignment would be well completed. Now he just had to wait for the arrival of the large army, found a hidden place to set up camp, and at the same time ordered: "No fires are allowed before the large army arrives, and all eat dry food."
Making a fire will produce cooking smoke, which will attract the attention of centaurs, and lighting a fire at night will have a fire light, which may also reveal their whereabouts.
"Yes, General." The heralds immediately spread Illidan's orders throughout the Vanguard, and the members of the Vanguard obeyed the order, despite some complaints.
There are three things that are the biggest in Thunder Cliff, one is an executive order, the second is a law, and the third is a military regulation. Executive orders come first because every executive order is made in response to current events.
In second place is the law, because after two thousand years of development in Thunder Cliff and even in the whole of Mogaolei, the law can be said to have few loopholes. There is not much explanation of each law, only what crime has been committed, and then within what range, so that many people can avoid taking advantage of the loopholes in the law.
