Chapter 49
"Newspaper. Within a few minutes, another battle report came.
"At midnight yesterday, the Mayan army attacked the grain base outside the Black Wolf City again at night, the number was five thousand, and after three hours of fierce fighting, the enemy retreated, our loss was two thousand, and the enemy is unknown. ”
"Someone. Major General Rowe shouted loudly, and he realized that something was wrong.
"What does the general command? A herald walked in.
"Why were these three battle reports, yesterday at noon, late afternoon, and midnight respectively, delivered only a few minutes apart?" asked Luo Wei.
"The lower official asked the envoys, and according to what they said, there are Mayan rangers along the way from Black Wolf City to our Little Bear City, and they are not allowed to change direction many times. The herald replied, and it seemed that he had also thought of this question, and had already asked it beforehand, and sure enough, it was the herald of the regular army.
"Interesting, the Mayan army deliberately let these heralds arrive at the same time, what is the purpose?" Vero touched his bare chin and pondered, unable to guess the other party's purpose for the time being.
However, one thing is certain, the number of Mayan troops coming over is not large, and the combat effectiveness is very strong, which is very consistent with his previous judgment, otherwise the Mayan army can completely storm a storage base somewhere and escape after fighting.
"Newspaper. ”
"Huh, come in. "There was another battle report.
However, this time it was not a battle report from Black Wolf City, but a battle report and orders from the logistics command post of White Tiger City. In addition to Black Wolf City, there is also a storage city, Black Eagle, which has also been attacked three times, and the damage is slightly smaller than that of Black Wolf City.
There were two orders: first, send no less than 5,000 men to support Black Wolf City, and second, send squadrons of 1,000 men in groups of three to five to destroy all Mayan rangers within 50 kilometers.
"Send troops to support, Black Wolf City is not yet ready to need support, and it can be seen that this is likely to be a sound attack, but now even the Mayan commander himself does not know which storage base to attack, and the security situation here should be tighter than they imagined. As for the elimination of the rangers, I don't need to order the commander-in-chief, I will do it. Vero muttered to himself, he didn't quite understand this first command.
Regardless of whether the commander's consciousness is clarified or not, the order still has to be carried out, and after repeatedly checking the order and the messenger sent, the authenticity of this order can be confirmed, and Luo Wei does not want to fall for the trickery of the Mayan army, but at present, it seems that the possibility of a fake order is almost none.
The troops in Luo Wei's hands are very abundant, sending 5,000 troops from a small principality to support Black Wolf City, and then a thousand troops from each of the other five small principalities, as a commander, on the premise of protecting the victory of the battle, he must also maintain the balance of his subordinates, the armies of these small principalities, not only have no combat effectiveness at all, but also are unwilling to fight, and they cannot favor any principality.
In fact, none of the six principalities Vero are familiar with, he is an Imperial and does not belong to any kingdom or principality. As for the principalities sent to support, he gave the commander a careful analysis and assured that the support mission was safer than destroying the rangers, and then ordered them to go.
As for the 10,000 people under his command, but the initiative of the war work, he can't move for the time being, as long as these 10,000 people are in hand, even if all the Mayan sneak attack troops come, he is sure to support the arrival of reinforcements to ensure the safety of the base.
The five clearance teams sent out, not only numbered thousands, but also distributed meteor artillery, as an emergency, the action distance is within fifty kilometers around Little Bear City, if there is danger, reinforcements can arrive within two hours, a thousand people will not be able to support for two hours, it will take time to stand still and let people kill.
Bear City and Black Wolf City are no more than 100 kilometers apart, and if Black Wolf City also carries out the same clean-up operation, it will be difficult for the Mayan army to have a hiding place in this area.
In the past few months, Danny has really been bored, he has played all the places around Bear City, and he has hunted many times, but Bear City is located on the plains, and there are no mountains and forests around, where can there be many prey? Not to mention that the game of hunting is not the Delan army, but the armies of the six principalities, and it is not enough.
This time I heard that there was a mission, and Danny came to the spirit. When he first arrived in Little Bear City, he could still train with peace of mind, but after a long time, it was completely peaceful here, and the training became more and more lax.
Danny wanted to gather a thousand soldiers and horses to set off, remembering the words of his father, Grand Duke Teresa, hesitated for a while, or sent someone to invite Feleg, although this is not the front line, but the Mayan army has been discovered, everything is still careful, after all, life is still the most precious.
With the addition of Feleg, Merlin and two hundred private soldiers, the liquidation team immediately expanded to 1,200 people, but fortunately, this was not a violation of the order, and Feleg and his private soldiers were not among the three thousand soldiers of Deran.
The situation of the other six countries is similar, and most of the people sent here are the sons and nephews of the grand dukes, who can be regarded as having come out to experience it, that is, it is not dangerous, and they can feel the atmosphere of war. When these people went out to clean up, they naturally had to bring the guards sent to them by the Grand Dukes.
However, they are not as lucky as the Grand Duke of Teresa, none of the principalities have magicians, even if a certain principality has a magic apprentice, they are still studying at the Imperial Academy of Magic at this time, and as a magic apprentice, even if they are not following the mentor, it is impossible to come to the front line.
Although there are no magicians, there are quite a few seventh- and eighth-level samurai, and there is even a principality that has invited a high-level samurai of the eleventh level. There are not many masters like this in the regular army of the empire, in Little Bear City, except for Major General Luo Wei, who is a twelfth-level warrior, only his deputy and the two thousand-person captains are tenth-level, and the eleventh-level warrior here is definitely qualified to be called a master.
The Delan army was assigned to the southwest, and a hundred kilometers away in this direction was the White Tiger City, which was the direction where the logistics command center was located, so it was the safest, and Luo Wei also considered that the Delan army was the weakest among the principality armies, so it was safe and easy to pick a safe and easy direction.
According to the oral statement of the herald, most of these intercepted Mayan rangers were in a group of fifty and half a squad of cavalry, which was enough to deal with the herald, even if the Delan army was worse, a thousand people against fifty, there was no reason to be defeated, but to be careful of being ambushed by the Mayan army brigade.
It took a day to send these five troops, Major General Luo Wei was physically and mentally exhausted, the quality of the troops of these principalities was okay, and the commanders were too poor to have any actual combat experience, so he had to repeatedly tell him to take all the situation into account as much as possible and explain it clearly. But war is ever-changing, how can it be explained clearly in half a day?
Danny is very excited, this time it is likely that he will really fight with the Mayan army, this kind of battle that is won by more fights, and he is still very willing to fight. Despite the desire for victory, he was still cautious and sent ten groups of scouts to detect the entire force within three kilometers of the front and back, left and right, so as not to give the Mayan army a chance.
Since it is a clearing mission, the speed of the troops is not fast, two hours later, Fang traveled more than 30 kilometers, along the way, not to mention the Mayan army, not even an ordinary civilian can not be seen, in recent days, the news of the Mayan army has spread, several cities around the deserted a lot, the caravan is gone.
Danny was considering whether to let the troops rest for a quarter of an hour, although the time was not long, but today's sun wheel was very hot, even if he was sitting on a war horse and wearing a full set of armor, it was like being in a steamer, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even he, a seventh-level samurai, also felt extremely sad.
In the entire team, only Feleg and Merlin are the most relaxed, they are wearing chain mail, which is breathable and ventilated, completely different from the plate armor of the warrior, and as a magician, it has become an instinct to manipulate the magical elements around them, so that the breeze flows around the body, it is naturally very easy.
"Give the team a break. Feleg said, this is exactly what Danny wants, these soldiers are dizzy from the sun wheel, their whole body is weak, even if they encounter Mayan rangers, they are afraid that they will not be able to catch up with others, it is more important to maintain a good condition.
Danny was about to give an order, when there was a sharp sound of arrows from the front left, Feleg and Danny looked up, only to see five red smoke rising in the sky above the left front, and the two of them changed color at the same time.
The large army used meteor artillery, which could reach more than 50 zhang into the sky and could be seen from 50 kilometers away. The scouts used arrows with smoke, which carried for miles, tens of meters high, and carried smoke of different colors, representing different meanings.
This red color represents two hundred enemies, and five arrows are launched into the air at the same time, representing the number of enemies is one thousand. Danny and Feleg knew very well that the Mayan army sent this time was all elite soldiers, far from being comparable to the principality's army, even the imperial regular army under Major General Rovi was slightly inferior.
With the same number, the Deran army could not have been the Mayan army's men. It was Danny who felt the hard work of Major General Rowe. The Mayan army was small in number, so it could only adopt the tactics of sneak attack, and there were too many troops in each base, and they did not have the ability to attack directly, so they had to mobilize the Auckland army out of the city, which really made Major General Luo Wei right.
Sending out a large number of scouts, firing arrows with smoke, and how to deal with the enemy when encountered, Rowe told Danny many times. Even so, Danny was stunned for a moment when he saw the red arrow.
"Retreat at once and release the meteor artillery. Merlin was the first to react, and Feleg, like Danny, was still in shock.
"Yes, yes, yes...... Immediately retreat and release the meteor artillery. Only then did Danny know that things like self-confidence and training would disappear when it came to actual combat.
Three meteor cannons burst into the sky, and the whole team had begun to retreat, and Feleg could already see the dust flying from a distance, it should be Maya's cavalry.
