Chapter 271: A Long Journey
"Phew~ Why are these elves crazy, suddenly attacking so violently?"
A soldier who fell to the ground spat out the dirt in his mouth, raised his head to observe the situation on the battlefield ahead, found an opportunity to get up quickly, and cursed loudly at the soldier next to him, and a feathered arrow had been shot out by him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Hey, Tony, you're not dead?!This really disappoints me, you know, such a big fireball, tsk~" A bearded soldier next to him said words of schadenfreude, but the expression between his eyebrows reflected his happiness.
"However, these elves are indeed crazy, and there are already hundreds of them lying on the ground on the opposite side, and there is no news of the withdrawal of troops. Looking at the elves who were constantly moving and attacking using the terrain, the bearded man rarely echoed the words of his friend.
"Cut~ You guy is not dead, how can I die in front of you?"
One crouches behind a low wall of rammed dirt, the two soldiers are still arguing, and the background of this picture is a rain of arrows from elves.
"It seems that Duke's side should have succeeded, otherwise there is no way to explain why they still have the same attack pattern in the morning, and the intensity of the attack in the afternoon has suddenly increased so much. ”
"This is venting anger~"
Surrounded by soldiers, Giggs spoke to Sif, who was beside him, and to a brigade commander.
"After the battle, the surviving soldiers were rewarded with ten gold coins, the bereavement of the dead soldiers was doubled, the fields exchanged for military merit were extended to their families, the rights and interests were guaranteed by the kingdom, and those who performed well were promoted to military ranks. ”
Looking at the war situation outside the camp wall, Giggs's powerful voice passed nearby, making the soldiers who heard it around him couldn't help but feel agitated, and even the commander of the sick brigade couldn't help but be secretly speechless.
"Finally, tell them that in this war, I will give them three noble titles! There is no limit to military positions, and those who perform well may become nobles!"
The herald was still quickly repeating in his heart the order that Giggs had just given, and this sentence made even a good mood ripple in his heart.
This is a nobleman! There are only a few dozen nobles in the kingdom among millions of people, and after this war, there are three more nobles at once, and nearly one-tenth more nobles at once.
The exclamation of the surrounding people was not over, and Giggs spit out a few more words, which even made the breathing of the brigade commander beside him heavy.
"There was a baron among the three nobles. ”
Even if he didn't deliberately observe the expressions of the people around him, Giggs knew how attractive his reward was to these people. And that's exactly what he wants to do.
Even if the soldiers under him have been trained for a long time, even if their prestige in the army is higher than the sky, once the loss of soldiers reaches a certain point, the fear of death in the soldier's heart will overwhelm these things.
To give heavy interest is to make this amount of bearing increase again, and what he needs to pay is only something that is not worth mentioning for Giggs himself.
As the heralds quickly ran on the battlefield to publicize, the battlefield in front of the camp suddenly let out bursts of shouts like a tsunami, and the other brigade commander who was in charge of the position below the camp wall immediately gave the order to take the initiative to attack.
After a brief hand-to-hand engagement, the elven coalition left corpses in the ground to end a wave of offensive that lasted nearly an hour.
The ninja was happy and tired, and began to clean up the battlefield under the command of officers at all levels, after all, the bows and arrows on these elves were indeed a good supply for the current garrison.
When Giggs's side began to contact and fight with the elves, the logistics line of the garrison began to be harassed by the elves, and after Giggs himself imprisoned himself and others in the camp, the supply line was basically cut off by the elves.
The current garrison can't spare extra troops to cover the safe arrival of supplies, but fortunately, Giggs has consciously stocked some in advance, so as not to let his soldiers run out of food.
And the arrows, and the addition of the elves' well-made bows, provided the conditions for the war to continue.
......
At about four o'clock in the morning, the soldiers who had been sleeping in tents in the woods had already begun to move to the sound of shouting to each other, and occasionally some soldiers who were still confused in their minds also woke up after the commander kicked them over, and hurriedly packed their bags.
Duke also stepped out of the tent, took a breath of the cold air of the night, and began to inspect his soldiers.
Naturally, the belongings in his tent were cleaned up by his soldiers, and he only needed to go around so that the soldiers could see him, and there was a backbone in his heart, and by the way, he would speed up the movements of his hands.
In the past few days, the march has been like this almost every day, getting up at four o'clock in the morning, setting off at five o'clock after a simple meal of dry food, and marching until eight o'clock in the evening by the faint light of the day.
Under such an overloaded march, the brigade led by Duke had reached a distance of only one day's normal march from the location of the elven alliance, that is, about thirty kilometers.
And this speed, a whole day faster than Fury, the elder of the elemental elves, expected, and this day, Duke believes will definitely be an important turning point in this war bell.
Fury's conjecture was correct, when Duke was sure that the information on this side of Crescent Lake had been known to the elves, Duke, who had left the Black Jade Building, started the march directly after the returning soldiers of the pursuit, and the routine raids in peacetime warfare were directly canceled by him.
At the same time, according to this high-intensity marching method, it is the time to buy this day for the human side of this war.
Fury is indeed very smart, the human camp has been crumbling in the fierce attack of the elves in the past few days, and the position arranged outside the camp wall was once chiseled by the elven coalition forces, and Giggs personally led the reserve and those moon elves to carry out a surprise attack to stabilize the situation.
In this situation, Fury felt that it would only take two days for him to completely wipe out the human army in the camp, and then then follow the defense of the elemental elf wall to recover his vitality, and then deal with the partial army that had lost its momentum.
The idea was beautiful, but Fury, a clever elemental elf, made a major mistake, and that was the disdain for humans that he didn't even feel in his own heart.
Merely a general understanding of human intelligence cannot help him win the war, but the garrison also has this kind of long-distance training in the usual training process, and this kind of long-distance march, trained and untrained, is completely different! )
