Chapter 606: Thunder Village's Great Victory

After Xiao Di left, everyone laughed, half of their appearance just now was real and half was deliberately tricking Xiao Di, the newcomer, Fang Shan, the squadron leader of the first squadron, asked seriously: "Boss, is the information brought by Xiao Di important this time?"
As Han Tao's right-hand man, Fang Shan naturally has a global vision, from the situation of a single soldier, it can be said that the credit for killing more than 20 tribes' regular troops is already very large, but on the whole, there are now two thousand troops on the other side, which is only one percent, Xiao Di can let Han Tao reward so much, which naturally shows that the information he brought is very valuable.

Han Tao nodded: "The Heimu Village that Xiao Di defeated is the only logistics base in the vicinity of the tribe, and if the hundreds of mounts in the Giant Hammer Village are really poisoned, plus our previous actions, there must be at least more than five hundred cavalry on the opposite side without mounts, which will definitely be of great benefit to our actions." ”
Then Han Tao directly clicked on the space map in the room, and several originally vague places suddenly lit up - this space map is a very precious magic item, which can truthfully show the real area, even the terrain is no exception, of course, the premise is that enough reconnaissance work must be done, otherwise the information reflected may also be false, and the two maps brought by Xiao Di can just complete these two areas.
Han Tao stretched out his hand and circled the map for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: " Xiao Di's actions last night must have dealt a serious blow to the morale of this enemy, not surprisingly, they are now sending people to search for Xiao Di everywhere, but before they have time to gather troops, we quickly outflank them along this road, and then gradually push back, so that we can wipe out the tribal pigs of the seven villages in this field, without the logistics base, these bastards can't do it even if they want to hold on and wait for help, hum, it's been a long time since I annihilated so many tribal pigs at one time, and I'm a little excited to think about it. ”
Fang Shan cautiously asked: "Boss, your plan is very good, but this action is too bold, and it is not an order given to us from above, if there is an accident, there is not even a helper, do you think you should report it to the above before making a decision?"
Han Tao glanced at Fang Shan and sneered: "Xiao Shanzi, can't you see that you are very detailed, the soldiers and nobles can't take care of so much, if you wait for the above to reply, the fighter will be gone, so let's take everyone to act first, and you kid will go to the headquarters for me to report." ”
Fang Shan immediately became anxious, and without hesitation, he pushed out his subordinate Wang Huzi to the top pot: "Boss, how can such a big action be without me?" In this way, it is better to let Wang Huzi run away, the people of their team are still resting, he is just a bare-bones squad leader, and he has little effect on the battle." ”
It seems that Fang Shan and Wang Huzi have a very good personal relationship, so he didn't have any psychological burden when he betrayed Wang Huzi, Wang Huzi's face suddenly turned green when he was still watching the joke next to him, and he was just about to distinguish Han Tao impatiently waved his hand: "You can decide this kind of trivial matter yourself, don't bother me, all the staff will be dispatched in an hour, and the violators will be dealt with by military law, so go and prepare." ”
Han Tao's words are equivalent to the final decision, the military order is like a mountain, no matter what the personal relationship is in peacetime, at this time, Fang Shan's words are an order for Wang Huzi, he can only accept the task of delivering the letter with a bitter face, thinking that the shame of his command failure last time cannot be cleaned this time, he scolded Fang Shan in his heart.
The only consolation is that Xiao Di has made a great contribution this time, but he is his squad, and he is also honored to be the captain of the squad, and Wang Huzi can only comfort himself like this at this time.

A day later, the scout team successfully detoured back to the rear of this large tribal territory under the leadership of Han Tao, and then directly raided the back of the Bloody Fang Village, the tribes here did not expect that at least a hundred miles away from them and there were many alliance soldiers in their own camp in the middle would appear, and suddenly panicked, and the leaders hurriedly resisted, trying to save the situation, but when the supreme commander here, Centurion Gurig, was killed by the first squadron leader Fang Shan, their morale finally dropped to the bottom and began to disperse, and the scout team naturally pursued with all their might。
Yes, half of the tribe's orc hundred-man team suffered casualties, one-third of the five hundred slave troops suffered casualties, and the rest all fled, Han Tao ordered all the other party's wounded to be executed, leaving a team to sort out supplies and clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the people went straight to the next target - Xuefeng Village.
Both the process and the outcome of this battle are strikingly similar to the first battle, except that the second squadron leader Lille was replaced by the centurion Gergault.
In the third attack sequence, there were only five ten-person teams stationed in Flint Village, which was originally a recruit training camp, and the defensive force was not worth mentioning, and it was cleaned up by the scout brigade like a cloud.
In less than two days, the scout brigade won three battles, captured three villages, captured a lot of supplies, killed and wounded hundreds of enemies, and lost less than 20 men.
In the fourth village, Thunder Village, the scout brigade finally encountered strong resistance, this place was more than fifty miles away from their initial attack point, many soldiers who had fled before had come here, and the news of their attack from the rear had already spread, and this battle no longer had the effect of the previous surprise attack.
Thunder Village originally had an orc hundred-man team stationed, and the village's defense was also the strongest in this field, after getting the news of the scout team's sneak attack, centurion Karis collected the remnants of the retreat as quickly as possible, and then ordered the elite soldiers of the following villages to gather over, so that Thunder Village was equal to gathering all the troops that the tribe within a hundred miles of this vicinity could mobilize, a regular army of two hundred people and more than fifteen hundred slave troops, Caris decided to rely on the favorable terrain to kill the alliance' Expeditionary Force'.
After discovering that the whereabouts of his team had been discovered, and the other party had already prepared, Han Tao did not order the troops to rush to attack - this was not their scout force's specialty, but to be stationed nearby, and then directly send people to the nearby villages to grab food, this is the advantage of fighting in the opponent's territory, without considering the consequences of destruction, it is completely possible to fight with war.
Two days later, Karis couldn't stand it, because the logistics base Heimu Village was completely destroyed by Xiao Di before, and the grain and grass were not burned by him, so there was not much food here at all, plus nearly two thousand mouths to eat, it was simply porridge and more monks, and the regular army began to focus on those slaves later, a group of people with green eyes seemed to be a group of hungry wolves, but the slaves did not want to be eaten, plus their numbers here were far superior, and as a result, many people were injured after a conflict between the two sides, and the result was also a win。
Karis knew that he couldn't wait any longer, and now the contradictions between the two groups of people under his command were deepening every moment, mutiny was inevitable, and if he didn't attack his own people again, he was afraid that they would all have to fight and forget, so he reluctantly ordered to open the village gate, attack with all his staff, and destroy the enemy in front of the village.
But he never expected Han Tao to be very insidious, he didn't fight him head-on at all, but relied on the advantage of physical strength and morale to fight and harass while running, the disadvantage of the tribe's lack of cavalry came out immediately at this time, and he couldn't catch up with the other party at all, when Karis chased out more than ten miles, Han Tao had already led a few elite warriors back behind him again and began to counterattack, and killed Karis with his own hands, and then took advantage of the situation to sweep all the remaining horses of the opponent and snatch the Thunder Village.
This battle was tantamount to sweeping away the remaining resistance of the tribes in this area, and after that, Han Tao and they never encountered any decent resistance, and they occupied all seven villages here in one go, and this small assault launched by Han Tao on his own finally came to an end, and at this time the order of the headquarters was still on the way.
The battle lasted a total of five days, the alliance side of the army for a scout brigade of more than 500 people, the tribal side of the army of seven villages with a total of more than 400 regular troops, slave retinue of more than 2,000 people, purely on paper the tribal side has an absolute advantage, but the result is the opposite, the tribal regular army casualties of more than two-thirds, the retinue of troops casualties of more than one-third, all seven villages were occupied, and the scout brigade only suffered less than 100 casualties, and the real battle killed only more than 30 people, the alliance can be described as a complete victory, which is very rare in the entire Thorn Valley Kingdom in recent years。
The reasons for this battle are as follows, first of all, Han Tao's decisiveness seized the fighter plane and attacked all the troops at the first time, the second is that the tactics are appropriate to sneak attack the rear of the weakest defense of the opponent, the first three villages are almost undefended, and the third is the imbalance in the strength of the top masters of the two sides, the centurion of several tribes is not the opponent of the three squadron leaders, not to mention Han Tao, a super master, and the fourth is that the tribe's forces are too scattered and the logistics supply is insufficient。
But all these reasons are inseparable from Xiao Di, if he hadn't defeated Heimu Village and weakened Giant Hammer Village before, this best fighter would not have appeared, and the tribe's morale, supplies, mounts and other important factors affecting the battle would not be so passive, so Xiao Di was the behind-the-scenes project of this victory, and it was precisely because of this that Han Tao rewarded Xiao Di with a pot of precious Dragon Dream Wine in advance.
Han Tao's scout brigade occupied a hundred miles of territory centered on Thunder Village, which was not only a victory in a small battle, but also directly affected the trend of this imminent battle between the two sides, because the place of Thunder Village was in the middle of the tribe's two thousand-strong troops, which made it impossible for the tribe's forces to be all gathered together, and when attacking, they had to always consider that there was a sneak attack behind them, so they couldn't fight with the legions in front of the alliance until they completely cleared the alliance's troops out of here.
The top leaders of the alliance naturally understood this truth, considering that the scout brigade was not strong enough and was not good at this kind of offensive and defensive battle with longbows and hard crossbows, in this battle, the supreme commander of the alliance side, Colonel Daer, the first division, sent a hoplite team and a light cavalry brigade to aid Han Tao as quickly as possible, and then occupied Thunder Village and strengthened the defense, although the tribe's army also rushed to the front, but finally it was a step late.
