Chapter 60: The Road to the North (Page 1/1)

To the north of Suero is a small town called Suanses, which is a must-stop on the way from Suero to the northern Blackwood Pass. This town is a day's journey away from Kuroki Pass, and it is strategically important as a place to supply Kuroki Pass. Normally, supplies arriving from the royal capital and Suero would be hoarded here, and once every half month, Count Olgas, the guard of Kuroki Pass, would send a convoy to the town to pick up supplies.

Occupying this position is equivalent to jamming the neck of Kuroki Pass, and in less than a month, Kuroki Pass will collapse by itself. So a force of more than five hundred people was also stationed in the town.

A week ago, when Wang Jiyuan was leading a large group of men and horses to Suero, an independent battalion led by Huang Zheng went straight to the north and raided the town.

Huang Zheng chose to approach the town at night, and arrived outside the camp of the Kingdom army outside the town at midnight.

The independent battalion had no heavy weapons, only twenty-four mortars, but Huang Zheng chose fire element shells in order to achieve the maximum attack effect.

The night attack was launched at two o'clock in the morning. At the most sleepy moment of the soldiers, the sudden shelling completely stunned the entire enemy camp.

Although there were not many enemies killed directly by artillery fire, the fire elemental shells caused a fire in the barracks, not only burning the supplies in the camp. It also caused many soldiers to be swallowed by tongues of fire in their sleep, and then caused large-scale riots in the camp.

Noracio, the high-ranking knight who led the team, tried to close the group, but was attacked by the Dark Elf Ranger Evelyn and the mage class, who had been in ambush for a long time, and finally died under the arrows of the Dark Elves.

Several remnants of the soldiers who tried to break out of the camp in vain ran head-on into the infantry company blocking the door. Under the volley of the air gun, it was wiped out.

In the early morning, when Huang Zheng and his troops rushed into the camp to clean up the mess, there were only more than 100 soldiers left who survived and waited to surrender.

In the next three or four days, Huang Zheng completely controlled Suanses with guns and gold coins. The commoners of this era did not have much of a sense of statehood, and when he threw out the golden axe, he quickly hired enough men to renovate the town and build fortifications suitable for airsoft infantry.

On the fifth day, Xiao Chen's second regiment of Shi Hao's followers arrived in this town, accompanied by Roger and Zhang Hong, and their task was to mix with Huang Zheng's team and then go north to take Heimu Pass.

Coming to the outside of the town, Xiao Chen found that this town was completely different from the town on the edge of the ground described in the report, where strong walls and high walls had been erected, trenches had been dug, and guard towers had been erected, and it already had the appearance of a fortress.

Shi Hao said: "Huang Zheng, this kid is fast enough." ”

"Look there. Shi Hao followed Xiao Chen's fingers to see that the two mages were flying in the air, using magic to build a wall, and between the waves of their wands, the sand and soil piled up on the side would fly towards a half-built city wall under their control, piled up on the edge of the wall, and then solidified into solid stones by them with magic.

Shi Hao said: "The mage class brought out by Huang Zheng specially selected mages who are good at earth magic. This comes in handy. Shi Hao said, "This step-by-step method is actually very beneficial, if we are not in a good situation, each of these towns can delay the rhythm of the enemy." ”

"What kind of crow's beaks are you, don't say unlucky things. Zhang Hong said. This time, most of the high-level mages received combat missions, and Zhang Hong, who had just been promoted to the high-level, had to go out with the army as a magic advisor although he was unwilling in his heart.

"I hope it doesn't get to such a tragic point. Xiao Chen said.

Shi Hao's mission time was tight, so they arrived in the town at noon and immediately held a combat meeting in the afternoon.

Huang Zheng reported the basic situation to Shi Hao and them: "According to the information fed back to us by the Ministry of Intelligence, there are about 2,000 people under the command of Count Olgas, the guard of Heimu Pass, and he now knows the news that Suanses is under our control, but until now he has not taken any measures against us. ”

"What do you think is the reason?" Shi Hao asked.

"I think there are two reasons, the first is that the army of the empire on the other side of Heimu Pass has begun to assemble. Count Olgas's army was very limited, as the kingdom had not replenished him with new troops since the king's death. As far as we know, the Empire plans to commit at least 30,000 troops here. Although Kuroki Pass was a natural danger, he must not dare to hold it up in front of fifteen times the enemy. ”

"Fifteen times, the gap is so big, with such a gap in strength, is it possible for him to hold the shady pass?" Xiao Chen asked.

"I don't dare to say how long he can keep it. But as long as the military rations are sufficient, I think there should be no problem with delaying it for a month or two. Huang Zheng picked up a pen and paper and drew the shape of a level with a few strokes, "The location of Heimu Pass is very good, there are high mountains on both sides, and the mountain pass in the middle is actually very narrow. In other words, the defense surface on this level is actually very small, and it is said that more than 200 people can be invested each time to defend the entire city wall.

And this level is extremely high, almost able to catch up with more than 20 floors of high-rise buildings, it is very difficult for ordinary soldiers to climb up, and there is no lack of demon suppression formations on this city pass, and there are not many means that the enemy's masters can use. ”

"No wonder there were only so many people here in the first place. Xiao Chen said.

"The second is that Count Olgas doesn't know our attitude, our attack on Suanses was very sudden, his intelligence is limited, and it is likely that he does not know what we are trying to do. However, I estimate that as long as we wait a few more days, at least he will send someone to contact us, because the time to come to collect the supplies has come, and according to the custom, the food in Kuroki Pass is enough for him to last another month, and he can't afford to delay. ”

Shi Hao said: "We can't afford to delay either, I'd rather attack the checkpoint with the hesitant kingdom people standing on it, than face a group of fierce and vicious imperial people who occupy the checkpoint." ”

Xiao Chen said: "This time I specially brought an old friend of Olgas, Viscount Josa of Suero City, and the two of them have a very good personal relationship. If necessary, Viscount Josa can go to Heimu Pass in our place to talk to an old friend about the current situation. Please advise him to give up his resistance and join us. ”

"It's best to be able to talk. Huang Zheng agreed, "Although we have artillery, a forcible attack will destroy the Black Wood Pass itself, and it would be best if we could fight without blood."

After discussion, the general plan has been decided. Let Viscount Josa contact the other party first. If it doesn't succeed, use force to break the barrier. ”
