Gray listened to the captain of the pro-soldier report on the situation, and couldn't guess that it was Joseph who was doing the trick. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He was originally in charge of logistics, but now that the cavalry has defected, he has even destroyed Tamsui and even the people he sent have disappeared.

"Order!" Gray held back the anger in his heart, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "The whole army is moving forward quickly, if necessary, you can leave all your baggage behind, and you must rush back to the valley corridor within these two days! At the same time, from today onwards, the amount of fresh water distribution will be reduced by half, and the commanders of each flag regiment will be responsible for the remaining supplies and fresh water protection, and if there are any problems with logistics, Lao Tzu will cut them down with his own hands! Also, strictly order all flag regiments and battalions to engage in military law for anyone who delays the trip!"

After Gray said this in one breath, the captain of the pro-soldier obviously realized the seriousness of the problem, he couldn't help but glance at Gray, and then asked in a low voice: "My lord, from here to the valley corridor, even if it is a fast horse march, it will take a day and a night, and it will take three days to lead the infantry regiment to march, if you don't reach the valley corridor, the fresh water will be drunk, then we ......."

Gray also had an ugly face, his biggest concern was here, and if it was really that Sadland who was doing ghosts, I am afraid they would never allow him to return to Sadland alive! Thinking of this, Gray couldn't help but be a little shocked and angry: Is this Viscount Sadland crazy, even if he can play a trick to bury himself in the desert, but what can this be?

He still had 2,000 men under his command deployed in the city of Sadland, and the 2,000 soldiers under Alok alone could not swallow up the remnants of himself. Even if Sadland kills himself, General Ronkdo will definitely not sit back and let him control Sadland's military and politics, does this guy still dare to confront General Lonkdo?!

But now is clearly not the time to think about this, and the biggest issue at the moment is freshwater. So Gray thought for a moment before he said in a deep voice: "All fresh water will be given priority to the Northwest Army and the pro-soldier team, and as for the remaining recruits, they will not ......be distributed for the time being today."

When Gray said this, he also felt a little heavy in his heart, but the two thousand Northwest Army that accompanied the army were all his descendants, especially the hundreds of people in the personal guards, which were all cavalry troops. It was the only remaining cavalry unit under Gray, as in Gould's old unit. Now those damn guys have defected, and they have to protect their descendants first.

Although such a move is very shocking to the morale of the army, and may even arouse the dissatisfaction and anger of those recruits, but it is a big deal that the recruits can be recruited again, and these descendants under their own hands are all trained with a knife and a gun, and they can't accompany those recruits to be buried in the Tadam Desert!

"Wait!" Gray thought of this, and then whispered to the captain of the pro-soldiers: "Pass my order, order the new soldiers to guard against the sneak attack of horse thieves, and the Northwest Banner Regiment will be the first to march." The commanders of the recruit flag regiment strictly carried out the military order, and after half a day, they were drawn one after another, and the pro-army team had cavalry troops, each carrying a day's and a half of food and fresh water, and immediately marched to the valley corridor!"

When the captain of the pro-soldier heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and then looked at Gray's face, with a hint of coldness and determination, before he made a military salute and went down to issue a military order.

Both of them knew very well in their hearts that the so-called prevention of horse thieves after the flag of the recruits was broken was just a pretense, and there was not much fresh water in the army, and if they could get out of Tadam earlier, they would have a little more chance of surviving. And after Gray broke off the recruits at this moment, it was obvious that he was ready to sacrifice the lives of these guys, so that there would be enough fresh water enough for the remaining two thousand Northwest Army to support them to get out of the desert!

However, the Northwest Army has been fighting all year round, where would they not understand the truth of these abandoned soldiers to protect the commander, and when the decision is made, Gray will naturally not have any woman's kindness. As for these 4,000 recruits, they can only resign themselves to fate, as long as their own personal guards and the Northwest Army can get out of the desert, then they will go to Sadland and settle this account with that viscount!

Soon, Gray's military order was announced in the barracks, because Gray and several of his officers closed the news of the destruction of Tamsui, so many recruits heard this order, although they were a little surprised, but no one would have thought that they had become outcasts. Of course, in order to prevent these recruits from mutiniing after learning the truth, Gray specially ordered several of his subordinates to lead these Northwest Army to break off, and also allocated supplies and fresh water to them.

However, of course, this was just a deception, and Gray naturally would not let his men die with the four thousand recruits, but he would never allocate them fresh water. He only allocated a small amount of fresh water, and a few officers were responsible for escorting it, while the other waterwheels and supplies were mostly empty! No one would have thought that the commander would use these deceptive methods, and in addition, seeing the carts of supplies and fresh water, and the fact that many generals of the Northwest Army accompanied them to calm the morale of the army, the tension of these recruits eased slightly.

Seeing that the recruits stayed where they were, Gray and his Northwest Army quickly embarked on the way back. The recruits were fooled, but Gray always had an ominous premonition in his heart: if all this was planned by that guy from Sadland, would he really be able to get out of the desert safely? With the unknown of the future, Gray and his two thousand men did not dare to delay in the slightest, and began to rush towards the valley corridor from dawn.

Gray's prediction was not unreasonable, for just as he was leaving his recruits behind and heading for the valley corridor, an infantry regiment of several thousand men had already marched into the Tadam Desert.

Under the scorching sun, the Tadam Desert in summer is undoubtedly an extremely hot place, but this army has more than enough to advance in a long formation. From time to time, there were cavalrymen running back and forth to convey orders, and these soldiers did not look more than thirty years old, but most of their slightly young faces were sweaty and resolute.

José was in the middle of this army, which numbered six thousand men and was all he had in Boulder, and unlike Gray, this army had some adequate discipline and logistics. Since his departure, he has constantly sent sentry cavalry to inquire about Gray's army, and together with the cavalry he has gathered in advance, the news of the Northwest Army has been continuously transmitted to him.

After entering the Tadam Desert, he learned from the Sentinel that Gray's army was ready to retreat, and his mission was to intercept this army that had lost its logistics!
