Chapter 5: The Trapped Beast Cage
Later generations commented with regret that in the battle of Xilin Island's fame, the mercenary king's biggest regret was that he did not cover up Norton, who had been defeated, in one fell swoop, and let Norton himself learn a lot of Amy and Horns' war skills after this war, and became a fierce opponent in the war of the gods later.
As far as the war is concerned, His Excellency the mercenary king is undoubtedly right, in the case of insufficient troops, and it is not clear how many reinforcements the enemy has, it is really impossible to let the soldiers of the mercenary group rush into the sea in order to kill all the fleeing orc soldiers, if the enemy takes advantage of this gap to rush to the coast, it will be a disaster for the small mercenary group. The most urgent task at the moment is to quickly detect the enemy's numbers and disposition, to guard against another attack of the enemy, and to find out the enemy's weak points and strike at them.
It's just that...... If Amy had known that he had let go of Norton, a generation of famous generals who would have become one of his main opponents a year later, if Amy had been able to understand the remaining orcs shouting the word "Lord", she might have really led some of her Jīng troops to charge and kill them once. It's a pity that there aren't so many ifs in war.
Chapter 5: The Trapped Beast Cage
In the retreat, no troops dared to land on the beach.
The sea water is too shallow, the big boat can't get close to the shore at all, if you put down the boat, with a few small oars three rows and four rows in the fall cháo can not get close to the shore, what can you do if you get close, the beach formed by the fall cháo is more than 50 meters long, all are mudflats, walk one step and slide two steps. How could the enemy be so stupid that he still had to grab the beach, and he was destroyed by the Haiha Mercenary Empire and the Xiusi Empire so early.
Horns waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to clean up the mess, leaving a song of the Prairie Jīng Spirit and a song of the Great Swordsman to defend, and the other soldiers went back to the camp to rest first. Sha Ruo and the other two priests in the mercenary group and the 10 doctors began to get busy, and some of the mercenaries who had fallen to the ground and couldn't move were the focus of the priest's rescue, as long as they found that there was still a trace of breath, they immediately began to rescue.
"Holy jīng spirit, unleash your power—"
"Holy Denya, use your power against your warriors—"
Healing techniques and moonlight techniques were constantly released, and the pure white light summoned the divine jīng spirits in the air, quickly stopping the bleeding from the wounds and saving some of the warriors who were struggling on the line of death.
Doctors followed the priest to bandage the wounded and tie up the broken bones.
Thirty minutes later, the captain of the Great Swordsman Battalion, who was in charge of battlefield statistics, walked into Amy's room: "Report to the regiment commander and deputy commander, last night's war, according to statistics, a total of 535 enemies were killed and 74 enemies were captured, 17 people were killed in the Great Swordsman Battalion, 14 were seriously injured, 20 were lightly wounded, 3 people were killed in the Demon Swordsman Battalion, 12 were seriously injured, 15 were lightly injured, 1 person was killed in the Blocking Swordsman Battalion, none was seriously injured, 3 people were lightly injured, and there were no casualties in the other battalions. ”
"Alright, sit down and listen to our meeting. Amy has long paid attention to cultivating talents at the level of the captain of the mercenary group, this kind of meeting that can be attended or not, and generally let them participate whenever they have the opportunity: "Reduced the number of soldiers, cremated the dead soldiers, hid them, and prepared to spend pensions." The results of the battle will be announced in a while, and the mercenaries must be assured of victory, otherwise...... We're surrounded like this, and some people are going to be scared. ”
"They shouldn't attack again during the day, and the next time it rises should be 12:00 tonight, if they ......" Da Qingshan clasped the table with his right hand.
"It's up to the enemy's plan. Horns took over: "If the enemy only attacked Xilin Island, then now they will definitely retreat." As he spoke, Horns stood up.
According to Horns' understanding, if the army of the fascist continent is pinning on a surprise attack to take this island in one fell swoop as a base for attacking the mainland, then it is no longer a surprise attack, if the enemy retreats, it means that only this island will be attacked this time, and if the enemy does not retreat at all, then it means that along Xilin Island, the entire western coast of the empire will be attacked. Moreover, according to the information obtained by the mercenary group, there were no regular troops on the west coast of the empire at all, most of them were swordsman battalions, assuming that the enemy was attacking in the same way as yesterday, and the rest of the places were all fierce and auspicious - where did they find jīng spirits with such good eyesight, and they also happened to be looking in the direction of the sea at that time.
"Aotian, you immediately fly around the island 10 miles to see the enemy's situation, we are waiting for you here. Order the first, second, and third officers of the Vulture Swordsman Battalion to go 25 miles to the west, south, and north to see what is going on. Amy quickly handwrote two urgent military information while sending people, ordering the fourth and fifth soldiers, one to send to Scambray and the other to the Lion River Defense District General's Mansion.
Half an hour later, with a long whistle about to leave, Chi Aotian returned to Amy's house.
All those who are familiar with Chi Aotian know that there are generally no secrets found on his face, not because he is very deep in the city - there are few people like him who never show a smile on his face all day long, his fair face is always tense, if it were not for the eyes that occasionally show more anger, Young Master Chi Aotian's face is basically like a plaster.
When he was in Scambrai, a certain marquis wanted to marry his only daughter to the second young master of the Chi family, and repeatedly asked Chi Hanfeng to arrange for Chi Aotian to come and see his daughter in the face of the phantom beast knight who was the same year as him. It stands to reason that Chi Aotian should be happy in this matter, as the second son of the designated heir of the Chi family, at most he has the title of viscount, and he cannot be hereditary, let alone hope to have any fiefdom. And marrying the only daughter of the marquis, all at once there was everything.
The two young men were said to have been locked together by a hidden door, and 15 minutes later, the 17-year-old girl rushed out of the house crying. The Marquis was extremely angry, thinking that the second young master of the Chi family had done to his daughter, even if he had an idea, he couldn't be so anxious, so even if the two parties finally got engaged, it would be a shame for the two famous families to spread it.
Chi Hanfeng was not in a hurry at all, and patted the marquis's shoulder: "Don't worry blindly, don't worry, with me, the general of the Gyeonggi Defense Region, here, are you still worried about any thief? Don't think of him crookedly, my nephew is different from you, let your wife ask your daughter." ”
The little girl said in her sobs: "The man sat in the room and said nothing, it was like a stone, and it was so cold in the room that the water in the cup was frozen. I'm so scared. ”
After Lin Yushang heard about this, he openly said at a palace banquet: "Those who can partner with Amy and Daqingshan, the pair of imperial border defense big wood, I am afraid that either the wood that belongs to xìng is the stone that is more wooden than the wood." Referring to the performances of Amy, Daqingshan, and Chi Aotian at previous banquets, Lin Yusheng's famous sentence was widely circulated in the Scambrai superstructure for a while.
Chi Aotian sat down leisurely, picked up the water in the quilt and took a sip: "The situation is even worse than we imagined. ”
Indeed, as Chi Aotian said, the situation of the small mercenary group in the middle of the 4th year of the magic calendar in the encirclement of the fascist continent was very bad. On the side facing the sea, the Fascist Western Expeditionary Corps had already pulled the entire general reserve over and joined the Norton Division that had returned from a crushing defeat, with a total strength of 5,400 men. On the north side of Xilin Island were three thousand-man teams, one of which cut longitudinally along the mouth of the Lion River, and the other two cut one every 20 miles along the west coast;
According to Norton's plan, there are three key points in this operation:
1. The most important thing is to occupy Xilin Island. There was no sizable fleet on the west coast of the empire at all, and once Xilin Island was occupied, an attack base could be established against the two countries of the Amy Empire and the Hughes Empire;
2. The focus of this attack is Xilin Island, which is the territory of the Amy Empire, and the Amy Empire is the most powerful military empire at that time, in this case, it is necessary to establish a buffer zone on Xilin Island along the side of the Amy Empire, so most of the soldiers will be assembled here;
3. The attack on the Theseus Empire is only a need for the campaign, and it is necessary to ensure that the Western expeditionary army will not be exposed to the enemy during the entire campaign, and if necessary, a thousand-man team on the south side can be evacuated at any time - anyway, there is another powerful army on the south coast of the Theseus Empire to cause trouble for him.
Chi Aotian found that along the Lion River all the way to a depth of 10 miles, both sides are the control area of the orcs, in this case, without the support of the emperor's ** team, it is difficult for the small mercenary group to cross the wide Lion River no matter which direction it goes, even if it rushes to a certain side of the riverbank, the fleet of thousands of people in the open sea will catch up in the shortest time and surround the small mercenary group.
"So, which orcs are going to attack tonight!" Balbas said.
"Well, otherwise, once the Imperial ** team understands and the large army is organized, the thousands of people on the side of the empire will inevitably be driven out of the sea - in any case, they only have a few thousand, and there are more than 20,000 people in the Lion River defense area alone, and the Xilin Island where we are is is like a walnut that has been swallowed hard, under the internal and external attacks, maybe they will collapse the whole army. After a sleepless night, Amy was a little sleepy, and yawned as she spoke: "Let's all go to sleep, I already know what to do, isn't it just that they can't sleep when they retreat, exhaust them, and see how they attack when they are rising?"
Almost everyone lit up at the same time, with a mysterious smile on their faces, and everyone turned their heads to the house in Daqingshan.
Two minutes later, the important cadres of the small mercenary group gathered in front of Daqingshan's bed - let's call it Daqingshan's bed, although most of the time it was not the deputy head himself who slept on the bed.
Boom-boom-boom-boom-...... Lu'er's long breath seemed so reverberating in the room that even the head of the small mercenary group was reluctant to use a pure velvet blanket to put on Lu'er's body softly, and the blanket near his nose danced with his breathing.
Speaking of this pure velvet blanket, it was originally used by the Emperor of the Red Stone, and was later secretly taken out by a certain guard who stole it to prepare for auction, and the purpose of the target at that time was: "His Majesty the King Night Imperial Ten Daughters of the Fundamental Jīng Power Source!" Lord Lu'er happened to be next to him, and his little paws touched it, and it felt extremely comfortable, and he secretly took it out without paying attention, and took it out with a pair of "I like this thing, and it is the most suitable for me to use!" His Majesty the King Night Imperial Ten Daughters of the Root Jīng Power Source!".
"Lu'er, wake up, I have something to do with you. Amy touched Green's little bald head.
It was very difficult to wake up the sleeping dragon, and Lu'er seemed to hear some bug in her ear, so she moved her head from the pillow to the bottom of the pillow, and one of her front paws was buckled on the pillow, completely making her ears useless. Then he pouted the dragon's buttocks, and the huge dragon's tail began to dangle and chase away the small bugs. The one-meter-long dragon tail swept half of the room almost instantly, but fortunately, everyone was familiar with Lu'er's magical attacks and physical attacks, and they dodged or crawled, while Amy, who was closest to Lu'er, simply jumped on the bed and sat on Lu'er's head to dodge the attack - after many tests, Lu'er's head still has a high pressure capacity. Anyway, there are no outsiders, and there is no need to show how much respect you have for Lord Lu'er now.
The tiger's butt can't be touched, but the dragon's head can sit down, and Lu'er's long breathing doesn't stop at all.
Amy has always wondered how the other dragon knights woke up the dragon from their sleep, and according to Lu'er's performance, she often slept for 3 or 5 days, and when she didn't want to get up, she often put a silent barrier in the house. If other dragons are like this, then how to fight, won't everyone pick their own dragons to participate in the battle when they are sober...... Or maybe it's only the Divine Dragon, and ordinary dragons generally get up early and go to bed early like people? This explanation is also smooth, and it is probably this reason that led to Daqingshan's "luck" to become the first Divine Dragon Knight of the ages -- even if others become Divine Dragon Knights, it is estimated that there are not many opportunities to ride out and slip around, so no one has ever known.
