Chapter 35: The Famous General of the Empire
Yin Leia then learned from Camzi and others that the 10,000 army brought by the Marquis of Cullen was now less than 3,000 people, and these 3,000 people were basically incapacitated.
The good news is that most people are just hungry, and if they can eat enough and rest for another two or three days, they should be able to recover and get back into the fight.
The bad news is that those dwarves don't expect to give them that time. Regardless, the female lord decided to evacuate the survivors from the valley first.
In addition to Silverpine and his more than 100 warriors, Miss Rabbit sent an additional 300 men and 200 horses, and was able to move most of them to safety outside the valley before dawn.
They were given food and clean water, and they were given medical treatment by herbalists in the army and monks from the Shuangxiu Sect.
Those rescued were grateful to the female lord and Saturday, and some wept after escaping the valley of death.
The female lord was relieved until the last man was out of danger, but before she could sit down and rest, Durham came to find her again.
The former chief of the royal guard got straight to the point,
"We're running out of supplies."
"Huh?"
"We carried a total of ten days' rations into the mountain this time, and today is the fourth day, we originally had six days of supplies left, but now we have three thousand more mouths, and the remaining food can be eaten for another four days at most."
"When will the next supply arrive?" The female lord asked.
"We made an appointment with Morse the day after tomorrow, and he sent Rangers to wander behind us, and there is no sign of those wild men so far."
"So the new food and military supplies will be delivered the day after tomorrow, do we have anything to worry about?" Miss Rabbit wondered.
Duren shook his head, but his expression was a little solemn,
"I don't know, it's just a hunch that something isn't quite right with those dwarves in ambush on the mountain." The former captain of the Imperial Guard paused, and then continued,
"If I were their commander, I wouldn't have given up the blockade of the valley so easily.
"And when we just evacuated people outside, they didn't move, they didn't push the stones down."
"Hmm, could it be that it's too dark for them to notice?" In fact, after saying that, the female lord herself realized that this situation was unlikely.
When she sent Yinsong and others into the valley before, it was good to say that there were hundreds of people behind her and war horses coming in and out, even in the middle of the night, it was impossible for the people on the mountain to be ignorant.
But after a discussion with Duren about it, she couldn't guess what the dwarves wanted to do, so she was so kind to put the meat in her mouth and not eat it, and returned the 3,000 people to her.
In addition, it was almost dawn at this time, so the female lord could only put this question aside and focus on the upcoming battle first.
As the first rays of the morning sun break through the clouds and light up the horizon. Six DJI drones were also released from the Shuangxiu Sect, and the six Hughes carefully controlled the iron birds, allowing them to take off and fly towards the nearby mountain peaks.
Search for the enemies lurking within. In addition, Gretta's mice are also busy, although they can't transmit what they see in real time like drones, and they don't fly as fast as drones.
But Katsuzai is a resident of this mountain, so he is more familiar with this place, and even if he is discovered, it will not arouse suspicion.
And Greta was also aroused to win, and she seemed to want to compete with the Hughes of the Shuangxiu Sect to see who could find the target first.
After a while, the rats had a harvest, and according to the information they brought back, a force in the southeast was secretly evacuating.
However, the rats didn't know how many people there were, and the drones on the other side, although they were a little late, were condescending, and they also noticed the movement of the group.
And from the feedback screen, it can be clearly seen that it is a group of dwarven warriors, between one hundred and two hundred, retreating in an orderly manner, without any panic, obviously premeditated.
Then another drone searched for a small group of dwarves in the opposite direction, and it was also evacuating.
The female lord immediately made a decision and sent two cavalry to pursue her, and before leaving, Miss Rabbit lent each of the two knights who led the team a walkie-talkie.
They were able to keep in touch with the army, and at the same time ordered the drones that spotted the dwarves to lock onto targets on the ground and move with them, while the rest of the drones continued their search mission.
Miss Rabbit doesn't understand what information warfare is. After all, in another cosmic plane, the first information war will not happen until the beginning of the 21st century.
A superpower found a non-existent excuse to declare war on a regional power, and it took less than a month to defeat almost all of the latter's official armed forces and control its entire territory.
At that time, the precision strikes carried out by a certain superpower in cooperation with the satellite system, as well as the degree of informatization of the troops, really amazed the world, and they imitated one after another.
As for the end of the war, it fell into the sea of people's war, and this is a later story. Of course, there are no satellites on the female lord's side, and the communication equipment used to communicate is only the simplest civilian wireless walkie-talkie, with no encrypted channels.
There are no missiles on the drone, in short, compared to the world-renowned battle of the century, how simple and simple is her side.
But I can't stand the equipment on the other side is more primitive. The dwarves are actually elite troops by the standards of the continent of Brattis, everyone is wearing armor, carrying a battle axe, and the leading dwarven commander is also equipped with a bantam horse.
But marching and fighting are not much different from hundreds of years ago, and although it is easier to command in small groups, it is only to carry out the plan that has been made before.
When the time came, they saw that the Imperial people in the valley were all gone, so they also began to retreat, and as for whether they were being pursued, I don't know at all.
After all, they don't cheat like Miss Rabbit in war, and they directly open the overall vision, which belongs to the fog of war wherever they go.
Moreover, once the troops are separated from each other, they cannot be contacted unless they meet again, and even if someone finds out about the danger, they cannot notify their companions.
Just highlight one and fight each other, and the result is of course conceivable. The dwarves never dreamed that in such a large mountain range, they would retreat separately, and they could be found one by one by the other side in different directions, and sent troops to chase them down.
After a force had killed people and didn't even have to return, the female lord immediately gave a second order to continue their pursuit of new targets.
I was stunned to play a little manipulation in a medieval war, and Miss Rabbit, who was still a little nervous, gradually relaxed.
Thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be difficult for this leader to fight, or is it that he actually has an amazing command talent and is a hidden famous general?
