1554. Fortress
A knight approached the window of the magic caravan and looked at Valentine, who was sitting alone in the caravan. The Marquis of Heller reported:
"Lord Marquis, Lord Surdak is on the high post opposite, would you like to go and say hello?"
The carriage became extremely quiet at first, and only after a few seconds could a deep voice be heard:
"Forget it, let's go!"
The knight hurriedly rode his horse to distance himself from the magic caravan, which had a relatively short carriage and was suitable for walking on rugged mountain roads.
The reinforcements from Handanar City came this time in a total of three magic caravans, as well as seventy-three four-wheeled wagons carrying important supplies, and 50,000 infantry soldiers carrying simple luggage followed this convoy and walked in a long line to the southern foot of the mountain road.
When the reinforcements first came to the Moyunling Heights, the soldiers were full of beautiful expectations for the battle of the highlands, and each infantry soldier rode a Gubolai horse, which was naturally in high spirits at that time, and they didn't even notice the mountain scenery on the side of the road along the way......
On the way back to Handanar City, he had to walk back on his legs, and after walking less than five kilometers, the infantry soldiers in the team had already fallen behind.
The morale of the reinforcements was extremely low, and when these infantry soldiers were selling their belongings in the free market, they had heard stories of those adventuring groups hunting evil spirits on the highlands, and then learned that almost all the Imperial people who came to the Moyunling Heights had made money except for their reinforcements from Handanar City.
Now that they are like lost dogs, they have left the Moyunling Heights in embarrassment, how can these infantry soldiers be happy in their hearts?
The figure of the guard left from the window, and Valentine. Marquis Heller sat in the carriage of the magic caravan, casually lifted the curtains with white lace, and his eyes looked at the high post on his right, and saw a cavalry squad of less than ten people on top of it.
He squinted his eyes and saw that among the cavalry squad, there was indeed Surdak's figure.
There was a sharp gaze in his eyes, and then that gaze dimmed, he was completely defeated this time, as the supreme commander of the reinforcements of Handanar City, Valentine. The Marquis of Heller knew very well that he would bear the main responsibility for the failure of this expedition.
This time, the lords of Handanar City wanted to go to the Moyunling Heights to share the cake, but in the end they were waiting for the meat, this huge psychological gap may make Heller lose the aura of a famous general, and the family will also be implicated this time, and may lose some of the interests of Handanar City.
There is no way, someone has to pay for this failure.
He Valentine. Heller, of course, has to be at the forefront......
'Humph! ’
Thinking of this, Marquis Heller couldn't help but snort coldly.
Three magic caravans lined up, and it was Simon who sat in the second magic caravan. Marquis Geoffrey, the reason why Marquis Geoffrey didn't ride a horse is also very simple, now this army of his constructed swordsmen no longer exists......
A group of 1,500 constructed swordsmen, in the end, there was only one regiment leader left, what a great irony to say!
Simon. The Marquis of Geoffrey is famous in the city of Handanar for his excellent swordsmanship, and I don't know how many swordsmen have been defeated by his sword, and his arrogance is constantly accumulated in those victories, but now the entire army of swordsmen has fallen apart, and his arrogance has been shattered.
Compared to the first two marquises, Vorster. Marquis Nishizawa's situation is slightly better, although Marquis Nishizawa also has to bear all the negative consequences of the defeat, but this time Marquis Nishizawa has completed his task.
He came to the Moyunling Highlands with the legion for a total of two tasks, the first was to ensure that the legion's supplies were sufficient, and the second was to collect a batch of unidentified black magic crystals, many noble lords in Handanar City were facing the trouble of being demoted due to lack of merit, and these black magic crystals were prepared for them to keep their titles.
This time, he paid out of his own pocket to make up the premium of the unidentified black magic crystal, and returned to Handanar City, and those noble lords wanted to receive his affection......
Although this trip to the Moyunling Highlands caused him to lose a lot of gold coins, for the rich Nishizawa family, this money was still affordable.
The only thing that made him feel a little uncomfortable in his heart was ...... This was the first time he had lost money in business.
He remembered that Duke Newman had met him before coming to the Moyunling Heights, before the Bednar Legion left Handanaar.
At that time, the noble lords of the entire Handanar City were discussing how much cake they could snatch from the Western Route Army this time, but no one would have thought that this campaign would actually end in failure.
At that time, Archduke Newman hinted to him that he should communicate with the commander of the Western Route Army as much as possible, and it was best that the Western Route Army and the reinforcements could reach a win-win agreement on territorial development without harming the interests of the other party.
Moreover, the Gandaear Mountains border the Great Meadows, and through territorial exchange, most of the territories of the noble lords of Handanar City can be connected almost together.
At that time, Duke Newman made it clear that the Bednar Legion would not intervene in the Battle of Moyunling, and the lords who followed Duke Newman closely did not participate.
Marquis Nishizawa's initial idea was that Duke Newman had a good personal relationship with Marquis Luther, and the Western Route Army was a force on the side of Marquis Luther, and Duke Newman would not touch the interests of the Western Route Army under any circumstances.
The Western Route Army itself was also for the Bena Legion to be able to get out of the Warsaw plane smoothly......
For the hint of Duke Newman, Vorster. Marquis Nishizawa didn't take it to heart at the time, believing that Simon at that time. Jeffrey and Valentine. Heller and the others should have the same thoughts as themselves.
At the same time, as the noble lords of Handanaar, they naturally did not need to buy the account of the Marquis of Luther.
Everyone is a marquis, and although the Luther Legion has been maintaining law and order in the province of Bednar for several years, the influence of the Marquis of Luther has not yet reached the aristocratic circles on this side of the Warsaw plane.
Now that I think about it, I realize that even though Duke Newman had a very good personal relationship with the Marquis of Luthor at that time, he didn't want them to damage the interests of the Western Route Army too much, but he may not have the idea of protecting the lords of Handanar City.
Duke Newman has been trapped in the Warsaw plane for nearly eight years, and he doesn't know what kind of combat effectiveness these lord armies of Handanar are......
At that time, he reminded him euphemistically, obviously wanting to let everyone eat this cake as much as possible without hurting the self-esteem of the noble lords of Handanar City.
It's a pity that the lords of Handanar City miscalculated their strength......
Marquis Nishizawa recalled himself at that time, and seemed to be full of confidence, thinking in his heart: Since the mountain pass at the southern foot of the Moyun Mountains has been breached, then the entire Moyunling Heights ......
Isn't that a vegetable garden in your own backyard? Cut any Chinese cabbage you want......
Marquis Nishizawa sat in the rickety magic caravan with a wry smile on his face, and he also saw Surdak standing on the hill, although he wanted to say goodbye at this time, at least to ease the awkward relationship between them.
But thinking of Marquis Heller and Marquis Geoffrey sitting in the other two magic caravans, for a long time to come, the three of them would need to be tied together for the time being to fight against the other lords in Handanar City, so he had to avoid anything that was not conducive to unity.
The convoy passed slowly down the hillside on a gentle road. Marquis Nishizawa could only sigh softly.
……
Surdak rode his horse and stood on the hillside as the convoy slowly departed.
The long procession looked like a long black mamba snake on the avenue below the hillside, and watching the magic caravan at the front of the convoy never stop, Surdak knew that Marquis Heller did not have the courage to get out of the carriage.
This commander, who has always put on a cold posture, has completely cut off his career as a commander this time.
I'm afraid that no lord will dare to hand over the lord army to him to lead in the future.
Seeing them leave, the stone hanging in Surdak's heart finally fell to the ground.
If this 50,000 army and more than 100,000 war horses really fought to the death on the Moyunling Heights, it would definitely be the Western Route Army that would suffer in the end, because for those hungry demons, there was nothing better than these infantry soldiers and war horses to fill their stomachs.
At that time, the Western Route Army will face a group of evil spirits who are accustomed to eating human flesh......
Speaking of which...... Since the demon camp in Mount Horsens is the base camp of the demon legion in the Moyunling Heights, and this demon army is able to gain a foothold on the Moyunling Heights, it is because the ghost camp in the Hosens Mountain has at least one demon gate in it.
In other words, the demon warriors can enter the battlefield of the Moyunling Highlands through the Demon Gate in a steady stream.
The demon army in the Moyunling Heights has always maintained tens of thousands of evil ghosts to guard here, not that the evil ghost army only has such a small number of soldiers, but that the Moyunling Heights can only feed so many evil ghosts.
In fact, the demon legion on Moyun Ridge is also constantly trying to expand south and north, but there is the Bednar legion in the south.
Although the permanent troops in the forest camp are several heavy infantry regiments, there are actually several heavy cavalry regiments of the Bena Regiment staring at the forest camp camp.
The forest camp was not suitable for the heavy cavalry regiment to fight, when the battle of Moyunling was lost, the demon army was based on the forest camp camp, a large number of evil ghosts entered the big meadow, but they were defeated and killed by the heavy cavalry who arrived behind, and finally retreated back to the foot of the Moyunling mountain north of the Gandaer Mountains.
Now that Surdak's Western Route Army has occupied almost half of the Moyun Ridge Heights, and the living space of the Demon Legion has been compressed to only the Viliagacsi Hills, the North Sunderland Mountains, and the Northern Tundra, then it is likely that the Demon Legion will not continue to retreat in the future.
As the war becomes more and more brutal, it becomes all the more necessary to enforce the Clearing.
After sending away the 'chicken legs' in the eyes of the demons, Surdak thought about his next move.
In fact, he is in some tactics and Valentine. Marquis Heller did not make peace, such as establishing military strongholds in some important areas, so that the demon warriors could be compressed into a smaller area.
At present, Surdak is west of the hills of Villagasi, and has built the fortress of Gaogang in the face of repeated attacks by the demon army.
He will also ask the Agrod Tribal Confederate Army to build a military stronghold of the same specification at the source of the Alinge River.
In addition, the Marquis of Heller's original choice of the northern tundra mountains, the eastern inner lake of the northern Senderland ranges, the Mevajisi Gorge and other locations will also be built one after another.
In fact, due to the reinforcing forces of Handanar City rashly intervening in the Battle of Moyunling, the Western Route Army had missed the best opportunity to engage in a blitzkrieg with the Demon Legion.
After meeting the demon leader at the North Pass camp, Surdak didn't want to take down the demon camp in the Horsens Mountains in one go.
If there are a few more demon commanders hidden in the demon camp over there, it may be possible to put all the families of the Western Route Army into it.
According to Surdak's plan, it is best to capture this Moyunling Heights before the 70,000 ghost soldiers and cannon fodder ants die......
In this war with the demon army, it is necessary to constantly build up military strongholds and eat slowly.
The only pity is that there are no scale horses among the 110,000 war horses, not even the second-class green scale horses, so Surdak was unable to form a heavy cavalry regiment during this time.
"You're going to the battlefield on the other side of the Kempato River?" Samira asked in a whisper, riding by Surdak's side.
"Hmm!" Surdak admitted, "The Western Cavalry Alliance is still fighting the Demon Legion over there, and I'm going to meet the commander of the Alliance Army to see what they need from there, and if I'm lucky, maybe I can get some scale horses back!" ”
"Looking at it now, these heavy infantry regiments still have some advantages against demon warriors based on military strongholds."
"But if you want to rely on them to start a field battle with the demon army on the tundra, even if you rely on Selena's fog of war, I am afraid that it will not work, as long as those demons change their tactics and tactics and engage in guerrilla warfare with our infantry regiment in the field, I am afraid that it will be our Western Route Army that will be at a disadvantage at that time."
"But at least until the situation on this side is completely stabilized......"
Seeing that the four-wheeled wagon full of supplies also drove under the hillside, Surdak lightly tugged on the reins of the war horse, and the demonic war horse immediately rushed down to the other side of the dirt slope and ran towards the camp of the Western Route Army in the southern mountain pass.
Nika and the medical team had returned to the Highland Fortress this morning, escorted by Delia and the Templar Guard.
The camp of the Western Route Army on this side of the southern pass still exists as the largest material transit point in the Moyunling Heights, and Surdak is ready to lead the 30,000 aboriginal legions of the Western Route Army into the south bank of the Inner Lake, and build a second military fortress on the south bank near the North Sunderland Mountains.
Then cross the North Sunderland Mountains and the northern tundra to the tribal confederation of the western expedition at the source of the Alinge River to help the Aygrod tribe build a second military stronghold.
The source of the Alinge River belongs to the northwest corner of the Moyunling Heights, and the Demon Legion may not easily let the Agrod Tribal Alliance Army plant a nail here......
However, since the nail of the Highland Fortress has been stuck in the throat of the demon legion, then every military fortress built in the future will be like a nail nailing the demon legion in place.
