Chapter 104: Night Departure
The corners of Perry's mouth rose, and a casual smile appeared on his face: "Siege but not attack, I don't care if I think about it are two possibilities." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
First, he didn't have enough troops and was waiting for reinforcements to arrive. But as far as I know, this time the Macedonian crusade was out of Barcelus's Eighth Army, and the remaining three legions were in the counties outside the Guan, and if they could draw their troops, they would have attacked it a long time ago. Moreover, I estimate that even if Barcelus can draw his troops, it is unlikely that he will be able to break through Moxi Pass!
Because in this way, although he grasped the main road in the northwest, it was of no use! You think about it, he came on a long march, not to live in the northwest, what is the use of capturing Moxi Pass? On the contrary, it will only increase the casualties and material supply of the army, and the war has been fought for more than a year, I think he should not want to take the Moxi Pass, but, as you said, he is just using the Moxi Pass to keep us out!"
Su Ya felt a thrill in her heart, and couldn't help but blurt out: "What do you mean......"
"That's right, the second possibility is that they deliberately attacked the city and plundered the land to get our attention, but in fact, they are probably all suspicious soldiers, maybe they really plan to retreat!
However, he was afraid that we would pursue, so he pretended to block us in Moxi Pass, so that we were nervous about their attack, but he could retreat calmly.
The Macedonians still look heavily guarded outside the pass, and I am afraid that they are worried that we will take advantage of their retreat to attack! Hmph, the golden armor, the role of the armor is to defend, to break the rear, not to attack the city!"
When Su Ya heard him say this, her face couldn't help but be a little complicated, and even Long Keduo on the side patted her head and sighed repeatedly, and when she looked at this young knight again, her eyes couldn't help but be a little more solemn.
Su Ya paused, nodded immediately, drew up a military order in front of the table, and then handed it to Lonktor and Perry, and instructed in a deep voice: "Perry, Lonktor, you lead the First Cavalry Regiment, hurry up to Moxi Pass for me, and be sure to find out the accurate information of the Macedonian army for me." If they attack the city, they will fully support the garrison of Moxi Pass. If they do retreat, send an army report immediately, and don't pursue them easily! I will personally lead the troops over, at least, I can't let some guys go so easily!"
Su Ya's eyes flickered, and a gleam flashed in her eyes......
At this moment, outside the Moxi Pass, Tuqite Fort. It was originally a small town outside the Guan, but it was captured by the Macedonians more than a month ago and temporarily set up as a garrison. Although it was not far from Moxi Pass, the Macedonians were heavily guarded, with large groups of patrolling troops and sentinels scattered around the city. But at night, inside the barracks, it was a different scene!
In the originally small town, in the Macedonian army garrison at this moment, a large number of troops are moving in an orderly manner in the night. The carriages were loaded with grain and grass materials, like ants, and they were densely transported out of the castle in the night, and the direction that extended was the river valley corridor outside the gate!
These Macedonians were silent, and even the horses that hauled supplies wore special leather on their mouths. Such an army of tens of thousands of people could not hear any noise and noise, and was as silent as a wild wolf lurking in the night.
The infantry team walked in the forefront, in the middle was a large number of horse convoys, and at the end was a Macedonian cavalry force of two or three thousand men! This is extremely rare, because most of the territory of the Macedonian kingdom is mountainous and hilly, and the plains are relatively scarce, which is why the people of the Bright Empire always call them barbarians of the mountains and forests.
A cavalry team like this is quite well-equipped, and everyone looks calm on the horse, with a straight back. What is even more surprising is that each of them is equipped with a cavalry spear that is more than three meters long on his horse! all men and horses wear leather armor, and many even wear iron armor. The weight of such a body, together with the armor, is more than a hundred kilograms, which is obviously a well-made heavy cavalry unit!
In the night, their banner was not raised, but in this silent team in the night, everyone was an elite Macedonian warrior, a prestigious army that had a resounding nickname: "Golden Armor"!
At the front of the cavalry, a figure that was not too tall sat on a horse. He was dressed in fine Macedonian armor, and his figure was slightly emaciated, which did not stand out among the burly cavalry beside him. But behind him was a group of men and horses, they were not ordinary cavalrymen, but some middle and low-ranking officers and generals in the legion, guarding him like stars and moons. Even the soldiers on the side looked at his figure with undisguised awe and eagerness!
No need to ask, this guy is naturally the commander of this legion, the "golden armor" Barcellus, who is known as the Macedonian god of war!
What many people don't know is that the famous Macedonian god of war Baseileus, but his actual age is only in his forties, and he is not outstanding in appearance. He has two mustaches, a typical Macedonian face, dark brown hair and eyeballs, but a pair of slender eyes are quite energetic, with a hint of feminine chill.
"Charles, how is the march of the army?" asked Barcellus, walking in front of the group, to an officer beside him.
"My lord, the army has sentinels along the road to explore the road, and the whole army has withdrawn from the fort of Tuqit. At our pace, it would take us about five or six days to join up with the army of His Highness Falusi. In addition, grain, grass and baggage have also been well prepared, and the supplies along the valley corridor have been collected in the county of Sadrand in Moxi, and the Macedonian troops in the counties are also actively mobilizing. ”
Although the guy named Charles was wearing a military uniform, he was not like an ordinary soldier, and his tone and demeanor had a bit of a calm temperament, but he was a civilian official.
Baseileus clearly trusted the guy, and he nodded, his slender eyes showing some satisfaction.
"Tell the front army to speed up the march and be sure to rush to the river valley corridor before those Bright Empire people in Moxi Pass chase after them!"
The Macedonian god of war looked at the cavalry behind him, his eyes showed a hint of essence, and he said in a deep voice: "Sarul!"
A burly soldier immediately flashed out of the cavalry troops on the side, and replied angrily: "Yes!"
"You are ambushed in the mountain valley behind Fort Tuchit with the five thousand warriors of the Third Banner Regiment, and if the Empire of Light army pursues you, you will be responsible for blocking it!
"Yes, my lord!" Salul immediately ordered his horse to move his troops away. It's just that Charles on the side looked solemn, looked at Baseiles and said, "General, what are you going to ......?"
Baseileus smiled slightly, and said with a calm expression: "Naturally, it is broken, you are responsible for bringing the legion back, and these five thousand heavy cavalry will follow me." If the army of the Empire of Light pursues. I joined forces with Salur, hmph, even if these guys dodged the ambush in the valley, but once they got out of the valley, it was a flat plain outside the Guanwai. My 5,000 heavy cavalry is guarding here, and even if I encounter tens of thousands of Northwest Army, I have nothing to fear! I am not afraid of these Northwest Army, but we have been fighting this battle for more than a year, and the benefits that should be collected have almost been dealt with. Since you are leaving, of course you have to give these Northwest Army a parting gift!
Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, His Highness Farousi still has a trial that has been bloodied for thousands of people that has not been completed. Hmph, he deliberately stationed troops outside the pass, but asked me to stop these Northwest Army for him, this time, our Royal Highness will have to do something......
When Baseiles said this, his face sank: "Charles, remember! After arriving in Sadland, he immediately gave an urgent order to His Highness Falusi, saying that I, Barcelus, were fighting hard outside the gate and could not continue, so let him send the Sixth Legion to help as soon as possible! If you say so, he will naturally understand! Listen to the order!"
After speaking, Baseileus turned his horse's head and said to the generals beside him: "The military order has been given, the cavalry regiment will stay to listen to the order, and the rest of the generals and soldiers will rush to the valley corridor in the starry night!"
The Macedonian god of war looked at the elite troops behind him, and there was a hint of femininity in his expression.
Hmph, come on, after this last battle, no amount of chasing soldiers will only add more blood to the glory of the golden armor...... Now that the border is full of Macedonian troops, who can stand in the way of my Barcelus?!(To be continued.) )
