Section 2: Fire Attack (Medium

"Take everyone to fight the fire," the other elder became anxious, and he shouted to the guard officer of the main camp, "You personally lead the troops to fight the fire, no matter what, you must save the home of the fire master."

"It's me going right away" The guard officer was about to go downstairs, but was stopped by the elder who had just spoken: "After you arrive, you don't care about other people and things, first of all, you must demolish the houses around the fire master's house, you must remember that the most important thing is to keep the fire master's house, and we will gather slaves to support you immediately." ”

"Understood," the guard officer nodded and rushed down the stairs. His order was immediately heard from below the watchtower: "Watch the guards, unload their armor, take the fire-fighting tools - run forward"

"Gather all the slaves together - follow me to put out the fire" the youngest elder also shouted: "There are three other camps, order them to send men to the south camp to put out the fire and send a well-behaved messenger out quickly, and tell the chief that there was a small fire in the south camp this morning, which has now been extinguished, please do not worry." ”

As soon as the three elders agreed on the details of the firefighting, the main camp of March became busy.

In addition to the ordinary cavalry, there were flags and trumpets, and even small drums, which made the scene very lively, and also made the order of the entire tribe to fight the fire quickly spread. After a while, the other three camps received orders from the elders, and they also reacted quickly, sending themselves to be garrisons and slaves, especially slaves, who could be said to be pulled out.

Because the journey to the southern camp was a bit long, most of the guards were unarmed, let alone armoured.

This cannot be blamed for their lack of vigilance, in fact, after the elimination of the Wahu tribe, with the Dawn Council covering itself, no one in the local area dared to oppose and attack the March tribe. If it is an enemy from outside the country, it is impossible for them to arrive here silently + passionately. If it was the kind of god-like character who was more powerful than the Fire Master, people wouldn't have to bother with it at all - a truly powerful existence would float directly in the sky, throw something casually and solve the matter.

After all, the March people just can't count the existence of such a freak as the Thorn Rose. In fact, it is no wonder that with strange enemies and unfamiliar methods of warfare, how can you let these natives who only have traditions, ancestors, and selfish desires in their heads defend?

The gates of the four camps were opened, and a long stream of people ran down the road to the south camp. The men who led the way shouted commands to keep the formation, they were all guards, but now they were not armed with weapons, but with shovels, shovels, ropes, and other tools for demolition, followed by ordinary March townspeople, who were panicked, carrying barrels, basins, and other utensils that could hold water;

The last of them, who were the most numerous, scattered, numb, and running with whips by the Marches, were naturally the army of slaves. The reason why they are called great armies is because they are very numerous, with a size of close to a thousand people on each road. With the addition of the southern camp, that is to say, the March tribe has at least nearly five thousand male * slaves in their hands.

Of course, the Vahu tribe were not the only slaves, after all, the Marches were not new to war, and they had been fighting with others for many years, and they always accumulated all kinds of resources in their hands, including wealth, armies, slaves, and hatred.

Except for brooms and the like, the slaves had no tools in their hands, which meant that they would probably have to put out the fire with their lives. But since they have become slaves whose families have been ruined, no one can expect to be treated as normal people, and the highest degree of resistance of the slaves at this time is only to slow down their pace, hoping that the pain and misery will come later.

At the same time, because the slaves of the various camps did not usually see each other, they were not familiar with each other, and even the Machi who guarded them could not know all of them, so naturally they could not distinguish between those who were real slaves and those who were extra for no reason—because the situation was quite chaotic, and the attendants were panicked, so that people kept mixing in the queue of slaves on the way.

They were dressed exactly like real slaves, and even the numb look on their faces was vivid. Emerging from the grass and bushes by the roadside, these men went straight into the slave herd and began to whisper to the people around them...... But it did not cause a commotion.

"Report sir. In the distance, a childish voice sounded beside Townshend: "According to visual measurements, the total number of slaves out of the camp has exceeded four thousand, the nearest distance is ten miles, and the farthest distance is thirty miles...... The arrival times were half an hour, an hour and an hour and a half......"

"Make a written record of what happened. Townsend nodded, and said to the clear-eyed young man, "You must remember that although the details are not enough to determine success or failure, they are related to the quality of the ending. ”

Townsend was right, his real purpose in beating the March camp was for these slaves - this was the best source of soldiers at this stage, and the old and weak women and children were removed, and the March people still had at least three thousand young men in their hands, and these people would only be grateful to Thorn Rose after the war. Therefore, after this battle, with the special training system of Thorn Rose, Townsend will immediately have the most powerful military force in the north of the Quelsa Plain, without it

The vanguard of the four firefighting teams was itself a guard unit, and they were all strong March men, so they came quickly, and the sound of the command even reached Townsend's ears: "Hurry up, hurry up, you must not let the fire burn to the fire master's house, you must save the fire master's family."

As they got closer, the fire at the southern camp made the vanguard even more anxious, but fortunately the center of the camp had not yet ignited—unbeknownst to them, it was the bait that had lured them, and the families of the Agni Master were now tied up like crabs waiting to be loaded into a steamer, and thrown into a grass pit outside the camp.

"The enemy's vanguard has entered the battlefield -- 500 meters -- 300 meters -- 100 meters -- the situation is normal" In the command headquarters, which had excellent observation conditions, a staff officer clenched his fists and reported: "The guards have not shown any flaws, and they are preparing to divert them."

Hearing this, a group of staff officers rushed to the observation hole, staring intently at the key link of the battle-the maximum of 300 people in ambush in the southern camp, and only 800 slaves were temporarily on the battlefield. The March people who came were divided into batches and grades, and how to solve them effectively and quickly without showing any abnormalities was the key to this battle, and it also required a high level of detail control ability of Thorn Rose
