"Not counting the soldiers escorting the prisoners, I can send up to fifty men to support your attack, and counting the three steam chariots on your side, to be honest, our troops are seriously undernumbered. ”

The team leader looked at the map in Ninner's hand and frowned, saying, "My spellcaster soldiers can organize fire support on the periphery, but if the Stasi deploy forces to fight house by house, we will be driven out of town." ”

Ninel nodded, and things were similar to what he had imagined: "Our attack is based on the premise that the Stasi have not deployed a large number of troops in the town, and if they have completed their defensive deployment, we will retreat immediately." ”

Soon, as the sun tilted in the afternoon, the meagre infantry squad that had arrived to reinforce them arrived here, and the order to attack was confirmed. Niner and the squad leader confirmed the tactics again, and decided to use the method of night raid to fight a sneak attack.

"I still didn't expect that if we were ordered to attack, why did we only send so many soldiers to reinforce it?" As he rested, Niner couldn't help but complain to his comrades around him.

It's one thing for him to take the initiative to attack, it's another thing for him to be ordered to attack—since you let us attack, you have to give us troops, right? As a result, more than 20 people were sent? Are you going to go through the motions?

"We don't want to come either, but that's what the order is. One of the sergeant majors who had just arrived expressed his innocence: "If the Stasi really set up a defensive position there, what difference would we have from dying?"

Niner sighed helplessly: "Then let's do it when the opportunity comes." We act at night and if something goes wrong, we go back immediately. ”

The people nodded quickly, and once the battle began, the three steam chariots could be parked on the perimeter as fire cover, and the Stasi soldiers in the town could be driven out of the garrison houses with cannons and magic missiles, and then the rest of the people would suddenly attack, taking the Stasins by surprise.

In any case, even if people usually look down on goblins, it cannot be denied that their technology is still quite unique: although the steam chariot was finalized by human mages and alchemists, it also uses a lot of goblin technical ideas.

And Falkenridge, who now has a steam chariot, has indeed tasted the sweetness.

Take this attack as an example, if it weren't for these three steel monster-like chariots, even the brave Niner would not want to attack a town that might be heavily guarded.

So everyone rested for a few hours, and in the evening the rested troops set out to move towards their goal.

There is a certain danger in driving at night, and anyone who has driven a car knows it. But what if you drive a car at night to fight a war?

Now, however, Ninel had no choice, and three heavy chariots covered a group of infantry as they slowly marched towards their goal.

Soon they were traveling a few kilometers along the bumpy road to the outskirts of the town. To their relief, the town had apparently been attacked by the ultra-long-range magic cannons before, and the exterior walls were almost in ruins, and some houses had become dilapidated.

In other words, they have less pressure to face.

After a brief distribution, Falkenridge's infantry began to spread out in their battle formation, with a dozen soldiers entering the town from one side and then sweeping through nearby buildings to establish a support point for the attack. After this support point is established, dozens of people on the front will start to attack again.

On the other hand, Niner also aimed the barrels of the three chariots at the town, and opened fire as soon as the order arrived.

Ready, Falkenridge's soldiers began to approach the houses near the town, and they ran over the crumbling facades, over the potholed lawns, and in the faint moonlight, toward their targets, hunched over their weapons, and occasionally on the lookout for possible enemy arrows.

Soon the soldiers approached the building, their backs leaning against the icy wall as they ran fast. However, it can be seen that the eyes of each of these soldiers are full of joy, because the process of approaching these goals is extremely simple for them.

The prepared fighting and assault methods were not used, and the Stasi defenders here did not seem to be strengthened, and these inexperienced opponents seemed to be sleeping at this moment, not realizing that the Falkenridge soldiers had approached such a close distance.

A Falkenridge soldier walked around the house behind him, the building was lucky and fairly well preserved. He cautiously approached the gate, and under the cover of his comrades next to him, rushed into the house, which seemed to be empty.

An old man sat in the master's seat in the living room, looking at the Falkenridge soldiers who came in, and the two sides were stunned for about a few seconds, and after a stalemate for about a few seconds, the old man spoke first: "The God of Light is above...... If you're looking for the Stasi, they've all fled, and now there's only the Taukab. ”

"Those Stasi withdrew?" the Falkenridge soldier who stormed into the room was stunned for a moment, then lowered his weapon, "When did they leave?"

The old man replied very simply, without the slightest concealment: "A day ago, your artillery bombarded this place, and as a result, the original three squads here withdrew, and they walked in a hurry, and did not destroy the bridges in the town. ”

The bridges were all saved, and it looked like luck was really good today, and everyone was visibly relieved. The Falkenridge soldier, who was the first to enter the house, looked at the impoverished, four-walled house, and did not ask any more questions.

It's very close to the border of Stasi, so the Taukaba people are also very oppressed, and with the propaganda of the three-year divisive strategy, these locals don't even hate the Falkenridge army that has just bombarded the area, because in their eyes, it seems that Falkenridge has come to liberate them.

"Sir, the old man said the Stasi had retreated. Behind him, another Falkenridge soldier turned back to the squad leader who followed him.

"You, and you! Take a few soldiers and inspect every area here. He immediately sent soldiers to search the entire town. Then he found another soldier and told him to tell the friendly forces outside who were waiting for the results that there was no more enemy here.

Soon a dozen Falkenridge soldiers entered the town from the front, and after some cover along the road, several Falkenridge soldiers approached the center of the town, and after confirming that there were no Stacy troops, three steam chariots entered the square in the center of the town.

It didn't take long for Falkenridge to thoroughly inspect the town and discover that there were indeed no Stacy troops here. Then, in the middle of the night, the people carefully arranged their defensive positions, and they spent the middle of the night arranging the ring fortifications around them, and then ushered in the morning sun of the next day.

No one could have imagined that a well-prepared and risky attack would turn into a thrilling march. The next morning, the soldiers began to prepare breakfast for themselves, and it was evident that both the chariot troops and the infantry were glad that there had been no fighting the previous night.

Ninel took his lunch box and added a small amount of cold river water to the potato flour, then put a few dehydrated vegetable leaves, which was the standard breakfast of the low-level soldiers of Falkenridge - yes, even that kind of inferior meat was not something to be eaten casually for Ninner.

It's not that he doesn't want to boil the water, or that he doesn't know the disadvantages of drinking the river directly, but now everyone has nothing to heat the water at hand. While spellcaster soldiers can theoretically help, their mana is also used as strategic armament material and cannot be wasted in this place.

Fortunately, his health is much better than that of ordinary people, and he has not drunk the river water once or twice, but he has never been sick from it.

Of course, in fact this is already the most difficult situation, because this unit is too deep for logistics to take care of them. Even so, those precious spellcaster soldiers were treated better than the sergeant of Ninel - no way, Ninel's mind was not bright, and learning to command and drive a chariot was his limit.

It took half a minute to settle breakfast, and then he saw a cavalry rushing from a distance, what seemed to be a reconnaissance unit directly under the squadron.

Soon, the cavalryman was in front of Niner, who was the highest-ranking soldier here, except for the squad leader.

"Sir, three kilometers away, the Stasi troop was spotted, about three hundred men, and it was supposed to be a crippled squadron. There may be other Stacy troops in the back, and we don't dare to get too close. ”

"Have you reported to the squadron?" Ninell frowned, and asked this comrade-in-arms who came early in the morning to "report the funeral", yesterday's good mood was completely ruined. Whenever a large number of enemy troops are discovered, it is not always a good thing for the troops at the forefront.

Of course, in fact, his mood was ruined as early as the time of eating—eating this kind of thing every day, others Niner didn't know, but he himself couldn't stand it anymore, whether it was as a normal physiological need of a human being, or as a werewolf's hunting instinct, he was against this terrible food.

Now his only hope is that he can quickly end the combat mission and return to the squadron camp to have a big meal.

"I've already reported to the squadron, but the nearby troops can't come for a while, so I can only inform you first, hoping that you can get ready for battle. The scout replied.

Ninel sighed, asked the soldier to mark the other party's route on the map, and roughly measured the contact time, and let the soldier continue to remind the other troops to stay on guard, and he himself found the squad leader and told them the shocking news.
