Chapter Seventy-Four: Asking for Trouble
Kan Delun nodded frequently and turned to look at Major Quincy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Didn't we send out a scout team last night?
The sweat on Major Quincy's forehead came down, he was afraid of something, damn Aragorn, it must have been his bad idea, the army is besieging the city, where is the enemy so easy to catch. Now, when the commander asked, he had no choice but to report truthfully.
"Lord Commander, we sent fifteen scouts last night, intending to capture a few orc warriors who were harvesting timber at the foot of the mountain, but ...... Unexpectedly, before I could touch them, I was discovered by the orc sentry, and the result was ...... As a result, the fifteen warriors were all wiped out, and none of them could return. ”
Kan Delun's brows were furrowed like the terraces, if it weren't for Quincy being his nephew and watching him grow up, he might have dismissed this major staff officer in a fit of anger.
Liang Ke observed his words and expressions on the sidelines, and saw that Kan Delun was on the verge of a seizure, and if he offended a colleague because of this, he was afraid that he would be isolated in the future. He quickly pretended to be surprised and asked, "Major Quincy, why are you sending out ordinary scouts?"
Quincy felt that his bad luck was to blame on this Aragorn, but Uncle Kandron was angry, and he was not easy to attack, so he calmly replied, "Yes!
"Yes! How can an ordinary scout be able to do this kind of high-tech work of penetrating into the enemy's line and capturing the enemy's sergeant alive? Don't we have professional scouts?"
Quincy was stunned when she heard this, and raised her eyes to look at Commander Kan Delun, who also looked at Liang Ke in confusion. Liang Ke pretended to wake up from a dream and continued: "It's no wonder, this kind of thing is very professional and requires a high level of skill, and courage and martial arts alone may not be competent. ”
Kan Delun's face eased a lot when he heard Liang Ke say this, and Quincy's eyes when he looked at Liang Ke were also full of gratitude.
"Colonel Aragon, are you talking about a class of scouts?" asked Kandelun.
"Yes, this type of military requires soldiers to have high skills in camouflage, concealment, concealment, tracking, assassination, capture, espionage, etc., and must undergo long-term training, otherwise they will not be able to play a role on the battlefield. ”
"Have you seen this class?" asked Kan Delen, puzzled.
"That's not true, I just saw this description from an ancient book, and I thought it was a standard branch of the army!"
Ming Ge glared at Liang Ke and hurriedly helped Liang Keyuan to say.
"Lord Commander, Aragorn once told me that I was going to try to train one of these scouts in the army, but the new army was formed in too much of a hurry to complete the training in a moment, so I put it down first. ”
"Oh, then, when this battle is over, Colonel Aragon will be in charge of training me a scout of what you said. ”
Liang Ke deeply regretted his mouth, even if he offended his colleagues, he didn't want to stay here for a long time anyway, this is good, I'm afraid he won't be able to run away after the battle. And that's not all, Kan Delun's next words almost made him faint on the spot.
"That...... I think Colonel Aragon will take the lead and lead people to the orc camp tonight to catch a few enemy soldiers, so that the information will be more accurate. ”
Liang Ke frowned and hated in his heart, looking at this Kan Delun harmless people and animals, it turned out to be a smiling tiger! This scene was very similar to Kekeba's personal vendetta when he was communiquéed, he looked at Kan Delun's smiling face and wanted to pull out a big knife and chop him into pieces of meat, but now that the handle of the knife was in the hands of others, he could only choose to forbear. Lao Liang took a deep breath and squeezed out an expression that was both distressed and helpless.
"Lord Commander, Aragorn is naturally duty-bound, even if he kills himself, that is my duty, but I don't have a scout in my hands!"
"Oh, what about the maintenance team you brought? They don't have no tasks, I think those guards are very capable, you can take them there, I'm sure they must know the reconnaissance techniques you mentioned." ”
"My lord, they have delivered their mission, and I can't transfer them now. ”
"Oh! That's a problem. Kan Delun looked at the tall and muscular Pidero behind Liang Ke, and did not withdraw the order because of Liang Ke's reason.
Liang Ke knew in his heart that this Kan Delun was determined to let himself be this cannon fodder, he gritted his teeth, calmed down again and wanted to draw a knife to kill, and calmly said to Kan Delun: "Since the commander trusts, Aragon will naturally do his best, I will go alone tonight, hoping to live up to my mission." ”
Kan Delun was stunned for a moment when he heard that Liang Ke was going to enter the enemy formation alone, and then laughed and said to the officers: "Look, you all see, this is the example of the imperial soldiers, don't say whether you can capture the enemy's mouth, even this courage is worth learning from." ”
Everyone also followed Kan Delun to praise Liang Ke's bravery, but it is difficult to say how much of this is sincere, how much is false, and how much sympathy is for this cannon who dares to offend the Billon family.
Kan Delun led the officers from the north of the city along the city wall to the south, the lake ice of the Lake of Tears was smashed in many places in yesterday's battle, and the speed of melting was obviously much faster, and in some places the ice floe could no longer stand people, but there were still small groups of orc infantry cautiously marching along the edge of the Grand Canyon to the south bank, and after they reached the camp on the south bank, they did not stop for a moment, and immediately went to the east side of the Luoshen Mountains to harvest timber, those huge trees were also pulled far behind the barracks, and they didn't know what to do. The wolf cavalry still sent cavalry to raid the grasslands, hoarding meat, and it seemed that they were really going to besiege this fortified city for a long time.
Although the city of Rambet Cape is huge, the strength of the upper city defense is only 20,000 at the same time, and the "little steel hat" is a new army of reinforcements, so Kan Delun did not arrange the task of defending the city for Ming Ge, and after patrolling the city, Ming Ge and Liang Ke each returned to the camp to rest. When Liang Ke returned to the temple, he called Kekeba and discussed the plan of action for tonight.
"Kekeba, what do you think?" Liang Ke handed a slice of Baran rabbit jerky to Kekeba and stuffed another slice into his mouth. This kind of jerky is a local specialty, and when Singar accompanied Deborah to buy clothes in the morning, she bought it at the vendor's shop, and Deborah thought that this kind of jerky was fragrant and spicy, and it tasted chewy, and Lord Aragon must like to eat it, so she begged Ensign Simba to buy more. Second Lieutenant Simba was reluctant to buy anything for Lord Aragorn, but she did like to eat such snacks herself, so she bought more from the vendor and gave them to Deborah.
Kekeba chewed a few mouthfuls of spicy and ugly face, and quickly picked up the water cup and poured a few sips of cold water, only then did he feel that his tongue was not so stiff.
"Your Excellency...... Hiss!" Cocoba took a breath, stuck out his tongue and licked his teeth, and said, "I also turned a ...... in the morning Circle, once upon a time, I have also seen the spring ...... of orcs Spring hunting, but they never set up camp...... Siege, they are not good at siege at all, orcs from the bones...... Creatures who are not known for their patience in their bones, they are used to coming and going like the wind, and they like ...... They like the thrill of cutting off their heads with knives and axes, so if they can endure this boring wait, there must be a great goal attracting them, and their commanders must be ...... However, it is a superior who can shock these murderers...... Hiss!" Cocoba was halfway through his words, and couldn't help but pour himself a glass of water and pour it down.
"We have a bird's-eye view of their camp, horizontally and vertically, evenly spaced, with reasonable buffer space, and clear passages for advancing and retreating troops...... Lu's famous orc army, even the most powerful northern legion in our empire can't do better. I dare say there is no such wise commander among the orcs. ”
Every time he studied the enemy's situation, Kekeba spoke a lot more sharply, which was really incomprehensible to Liang Ke.
"Also, they're cutting down trees, collecting ice, and they're trying to get the supplies they get to the farthest part of the camp and hide them, and I think those things must be important to them, and they don't just make a few trebuchets and reserve projectiles, they must be doing this to serve the conspiracy behind it. ”
Liang Ke also felt that the jerky was a little spicy after tasting a few bites, he flicked off the excess chili powder on the jerky in his hand, tore off a small piece of jerky and put it in his mouth, and said while chewing: "I think so too, there is a saying in our hometown that 'abnormality is a demon', and this is the truth." Although the orcs dispatched an army of 200,000, but in the face of hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of the northern army who are good at defending the city, they may not be able to take it as they wish with the crude siege tactics and battle equipment they have mastered. On top of that, it's of no use for them to take the city, unless there's something they have to get......"
Kekeba suddenly raised his head when he heard this, and the horizontal flesh on his ugly face trembled slightly.
"Yes...... Yes, it must be like that, but ...... Cape Rumbet is a barren place, and what is there but stones and trees that they must obtain?"
"That's what we have to figure out, to win the war, we have to figure out the enemy's strategic goals and objectives, what do you think we should do tonight?"
Kekeba raised his eyebrows again, and said in a loud voice: "What to do? I can't do it! Isn't this just bullying people? The orc army of more than 100,000 people poked there, and if we go in, we will be sent to death." You can't repeat my mistakes, and in my opinion, let's not waste here...... It's time-consuming, with your strength, leave with the dwarves and trolls, I'm afraid that Commander Kan Delun won't dare to make it difficult for you. ”
Liang Ke stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, which were a little numb, and shook his head.
"It's not that simple, there's no good in going against a legion commander. Besides, I came here on my own initiative, and I won't leave until things come to an end. After Liang Ke finished speaking, his eyes stared at the changes on Kekeba's face, Kekeba nodded slightly, revealing an ugly smile, although it was ugly, it was also a smile, Liang Ke understood.
