Chapter 215: The Messenger
Waiting for the time of the baggage troops, Ye Junwen was also reorganizing the troops. Due to the resignation of Hejiaer's side, the first and second legions were returned to Ye Junwen, so the troops needed to be re-managed. For this reason, Ye Junwen also set up two deputy commanders to manage the two armies respectively, one of which is Edlang chosen by Ye Junwen himself, and the other is Sesman, Hejiaer's deputy general.
Although there are two adjutant generals, Ye Junwen has integrated the troops to a certain extent to facilitate his own operation, otherwise it is difficult to grasp the division of the entire army into two halves. However, given the current situation, the forces are still not fully integrated, which will take time until they are stabilized.
In addition, Ye Junwen also expanded the number of firearms troops. The base is still Ted's troops, but some troops have been transferred from other units, and it has now expanded to 2,500 troops, and it has also been slightly fine-divided, divided into infantry and artillery.
Yes, Ye Junwen already has artillery units now, but the number of artillery is very small, just 4 guns, and the caliber is not unified. Because Ye Junwen didn't specify it when he bought it, these are all transaction additions. But this thing doesn't have any opponents now, after all, there are no opponents, and it's still enough to be responsible for firepower suppression.
There is such a thing as artillery in this otherworld, and it even appeared before the musket. It is also a weapon invented and made by the dwarves, but the artillery here Ye Junwen said that it is not worthy of being called an artillery at all, and it can only be said to be a larger musket. Have you ever seen an artillery with a range of less than 500 meters, the artillery here is this urine, and although the artillery brought by Ye Junwen is an old item that has been eliminated, it has a range of more than 10 kilometers, which is not a thing at all at the same level.
Although the artillery unit has only 4 guns, it is equipped with 300 people, which is also for future development, because Ye Junwen also designated the other party to enter the artillery during this transaction, and it is estimated that there will be more when he comes next time, and it is also to let everyone take turns to familiarize themselves with it, and they all open fire, so that it will be convenient to train the troops in the future.
Everyone else has a rifle equipped, and this time it's mainly equipped with an AK47 series of rifles, which is really classic, and because the bullets are the same, they can also be mixed with the previous equipment, so there is no contradiction.
The integration and refinement of the troops did not run into any trouble, but they had some problems with baggage, and their food began to call the police. Yes, although they have replenished in the city before, but the number of troops is too much, after absorbing the troops of the Fifth Army, the number is almost 200,000, such a huge army cannot operate without the support of the state finance, and they do not have the supply of the state finance, this food is all on their own.
Although they robbed a lot, it was still not enough, according to the logistics staff, within ten days, their food would bottom out, that is, they would have to capture the main city within ten days, otherwise they would face the problem of starvation.
Generally speaking, it is almost impossible to capture the main city within ten days, you see that the rebel army's troops, the number of people before was about the same as them, they besieged the main city for so long, and still did not defeat it, and finally relied on the opponent's internal opening of the city gate to capture the city. Fighting head-on, even if you have several times more troops than the opponent, it is impossible to capture it in a short time, this city is indeed too strong.
However, Ye Junwen felt that there was no problem, after all, he used modern weapons, and he should be able to capture it in ten days, if it really doesn't work, Ye Junwen doesn't still have a working dragon, let it open the door. Of course, he didn't plan to do it at the beginning, although the success rate of this method is estimated to be quite high, but he still has to train soldiers.
Yes, the main reason for letting their troops appear on the stage is to let them practice their hands, after all, equipment is one thing, whether it will be used is another matter, although these troops are training in peacetime, but it may not work if they really fight, or let them really fight and see. And on the other hand, it's not for advertising to let these weapons appear, if you rely on dragons to solve the problem, who knows if their weapons are useful.
All in all, the integration of the troops Ye Junwen took another day, which made the other generals anxious for Ye Junwen, is this too frank, although there is no need to first aid the people of the royal family now, but if you go one day later, you will burn one more day of food, and also give the opposite side one more day to prepare for defense, this can't be delayed like this.
Fortunately, the next day, Ye Junwen commanded the troops to officially set off, they were not very far from the main city because of the rapid march, and when it was close to evening that afternoon, they also arrived near the main city, but when there were still more than ten miles away, Ye Junwen ordered to start camping, which made the generals very strange.
It's true that if you're afraid of being attacked at night, it's normal to camp a little farther away, but now they're not afraid of a sneak attack, the other party's troops are already small, and they are very numerous, so they're afraid that the sneak attack won't be able to take turns to stand guard, not to mention that everyone thinks that the people inside won't come out to sneak attack, this person must rely on the city to defend it, why do they want to come out to die.
Although it is strange, Ye Junwen is now the only leader of this unit, so what he said is, of course, an order, everyone must obey, plus Ye Junwen's performance before also shows that the other party knows more than them, and he is much more powerful than them, so you are right to be surprised, it is estimated that Ye Junwen planned it this way.
Ye Junwen and the others had a good rest that night, as expected, the people in the city did not come out to sneak attack, it is estimated that they are also very puzzled why these people are camped so far away, this is too careful, it is impossible to sneak attack at this distance.
The time soon came to the morning of the next day, Ye Junwen's troops began to prepare early in the morning, today is obviously the first day of the siege, all the soldiers have been well rested, and the current spirit is very strong, and the morale is also good. Just as the soldiers were waiting for Ye Junwen's order to start attacking, Ye Junwen saw a rather unexpected person here.
"Emissary?" Ye Junwen asked a little strangely.
"Yes, Marshal (Ye Junwen's current title has become Marshal, and it is sealed by the new Empress Beverly)." The soldier replied.
"No, pull it out and cut it." Ye Junwen said with a wave of his hand.
"But the marshal, they are the emissaries of the elves...... the soldier said.
"Huh? Elves? Ye Junwen was stunned for a moment, originally if it was Duke Seleto's envoy, he wouldn't have bothered to see it, what else was there to say about it, anyway, he didn't want to say anything to the other party. But of the elf clan, Ye Junwen was a little curious, first of all, he had never seen anyone from the elf clan, so he was a little curious about them, and secondly, why the other party wanted to participate in this matter, he was also very curious.
"Then bring it up and have a look." Ye Junwen said.
Soon, the soldier came in with two men. Ye Junwen looked at the other party, and what disappointed Ye Junwen was that these two elves were actually men, of course, Ye Junwen couldn't see it from his face, because the other party was too girly, you couldn't tell the gender just by looking at the face, Ye Junwen could see it from the chest.
These two elves are similar to what they saw in the previous tour and the like, tall and thin, pale skin, and then both of them are very handsome, and they can even be said to be a little beautiful. Obviously they are two men, Ye Junwen thinks they are beautiful, and he doesn't know what is going on. In addition to these, of course, there are also the iconic long ears, and these long ears are much longer than Ye Junwen imagined, Ye Junwen is estimated to be about 20 centimeters in length.
"I've seen Duke Calcha." Ye Junwen, whom the other party directly called, was the duke, or the title of the previous emperor.
"Elves? What is the purpose of coming here? Ye Junwen asked.
"We want the Duke to give up the siege." One of the elves stepped forward and said.
"Oh? You are? Ye Junwen asked.
"My name is Antona, and I'm the minister of Tedarore." Antona said.
Tedalo is a kingdom established by the elf clan, and Ye Junwen had heard of this before. The Minister is also the envoy sent to the side of the St. Willand Empire.
"You're speaking for Duke Seleto?" Ye Junwen asked, "Why did the elven race participate in the civil war of the human race?" ”
"Although it is a civil war of the Terrans, we have a peace agreement between Tedalor and the Duchy of St. Weyland, and we also hope that peace will be restored on your side." Antona said.
"Huh." Ye Junwen smiled, "Restore peace? Wouldn't peace be restored if I destroyed the Duke of Seleto, and besides, why should we recognize the peace agreement signed between the Duchy of Saint-Willand and you, but we don't even recognize the royal family, and still recognize the peace agreement he signed? ”
"You mean you don't want to maintain peaceful relations with our Kingdom of Tedaror?" Antona here said a little angrily.
"Yes." Ye Junwen nodded directly, "So what?" I know that you are lobbyists sent by the Duke of Seletto, so there is no need to talk to you at all, there is no need to go around in circles, I don't agree with how you are going to come? Send troops to intervene, come on, I'll wait for you, I'll just say that, as long as I come to power, the first one will declare war on you Tedaro, what can you do? ”
"You ......" is a person who will be angry when he hears such words, Antona was instantly furious, but just about to say something, he was stopped by the person behind him who stretched out his hand.
"Wait, Antona." The other party spoke, and to Ye Junwen's surprise, the other party's voice was actually a female voice.
"Wait......" Ye Junwen looked at the other party's chest, and then at the other party's face, "You...... Isn't it too underdeveloped......
