Wang Yong looked at the two people who greeted him, one of whom he knew, was a militiaman under his command.

This militiaman was a young man in his early twenties, his name was Lan Xi, although he was ordinary-looking, but his eyes shone with shrewdness and ability, and he was responsible for counting the spoils and war damage.

The other person who came with Lancey was Ryan's men, who also revealed his ability.

The man came to Wang Yong and the others, gave a military salute with his right hand on his chest, and said, "Hello sir, my name is Oleni, and I am in charge of logistics under Chief Lane, and now I will report our battle damage." ”

Wang Yong looked at Oleni and didn't speak, quietly waiting for him to report, but Wang Yong waited for a while, and didn't see Orleni speak. Oroni also looked at Wang Yong innocently, and then cast an inquiring look at Ryan with a confused face.

Ryan coughed a little embarrassedly and said to Oroni, "Go on." Only then did Wang Yong reflect, it turned out that Oroni was waiting for his response, which is probably the rule in the army.

Wang Yong's rare old face turned red, and he nodded a little embarrassedly and said, "Say it." ”

"Since our two units are not familiar with each other, I have only counted the battle losses of my troops. After the battle, we lost 13 cavalry, 6 were seriously wounded, 33 were lightly wounded, 63 were damaged, 63 were damaged, 63 were damaged, 600 were damaged, 600 were damaged, 800 crossbow arrows, and 45 sets of leather armor were damaged, of which 36 could be repaired. Twenty-nine horses were killed, and the report was completed. With that, Oroni gave another military salute and stepped aside.

Seeing that Orani's report was over, Lancey stepped forward and reported: "Boss, our militia has seriously injured one person, lightly injured thirteen people, and no one has been killed. Two hundred and sixty-three people hung cannon fodder, and thirteen were seriously wounded. Six hundred and seventy-four bandits were captured, of whom 76 were seriously wounded. More than 1,400 weapons of various kinds were seized, and about 1,100 horses were seized, and the rest have not yet been counted urgently. ”

Wang Yong listened to the reports of the two people, and he didn't feel anything before, but now when he compares with other people's troops, he can see the gap. It's not that Lancey's level is inferior to others, it's just that everyone has no experience in this area, and from the beginning to the present, everyone still uses Howl's butler to manage the castle.

Wang Yong nodded and said, "Then let's do it first, you send people back to the garrison for the loot and the wounded, as for the bandits who surrendered."

Wang Yong thought for a while and said, "Leave 300 people to give them medicine, and bring back the rest of the injured ones with them." Nothan, you go back with you, and take care of the defense with Miss Sarah. Also, tell Lei to use water instead of water when pouring medicine into these surrendered bandits, and you can discuss the specifics. After speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Nosen.

Knowing that Wang Yong was creating an opportunity for him to have more contact with Sara, Northen nodded embarrassedly and turned to leave to dispatch people.

Wang Yong turned to Ryan, who was standing beside him, and said, "The cannon fodder I brought is almost dead, and the militia can leave fifty people, plus the cannon fodder filled with poison, can gather about four hundred people." But there are too few militia in my hands, I'm afraid that I won't be able to suppress those cannon fodder, you send some people to me, let's divide the troops into five routes, and first take care of these bandits' old nests. Two days later, at noon, we converged at the old nest of the Electric Light Bandits, which was very close to the lair of the Greatsword Bandits, so that we could attack this last hard bone. ”

Ryan thought for a while and said: "The terrain of the lair of the Greatsword Bandit Group is very complicated, there is a forest outside, the innermost mountain, and there is a small black swamp on both sides, we can only attack from the middle, but the casualties will be very large." ”

Wang Yong frowned and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Ryan hesitated for a moment and said, "I wonder what the relationship between the boss and the border guards is, if they come to help, our chances of victory will be much higher, and we can lose less manpower." ”

Wang Yong asked suspiciously: "Didn't the border guards say that they only had 200 people, and what could they do to help when they came?"

Ryan explained: "They are indeed only two hundred men, but they are the elite hoplites of the Empire, and after wearing metal plate armor, it is difficult for ordinary weapons to hurt them, and hoplites are the best type of troops to attack fortifications." ”

Wang Yong was very moved when he heard this: "But I am not familiar with them, even if I am the lord here, I have no right to mobilize the imperial army to fight for myself." ”

When Wang Yong was depressed, he suddenly saw the hand crossbow in the hand of the minotaur, Wang Yong's eyes lit up, and he remembered that these hand crossbows were bought by the bandit Billy from the border guards, and if this matter was spread, their commander would have to go to prison for life even if he did not die.

Thinking of this, Wang Yong came to Nuo Sen again and whispered: "After you go back, let Lei and take the crossbow to the border guards, threaten them with the sale of ordnance, and let them rush to the lair of the electric light bandit group before noon in two days, and help us eliminate the giant sword bandit group together." Nuo Sen knew the origin of these crossbows, and after listening to Wang Yong's words, he smiled evilly and nodded in agreement.

Half an hour later, the teams had been regrouped and assigned. After discussing with Wang Yong, Ryan only left a cavalry team of 100 descendants, and the rest were all redivided by disrupting the previous establishment, so that the combat effectiveness of the rest of the team and the deterrence of cannon fodder were greatly improved.

The cavalry of 100 people was personally commanded by Ryan, who each brought two horses, and their task was to quickly clear the bandits' nests all over the area. Because they traveled a long distance and had many targets, they set off first after assigning the targets to attack.

Before leaving, Lane also specially asked Wang Yong for five militiamen to accompany him, on the grounds that he wanted someone to take care of the extra horses during the war.

Wang Yong knew Ryan's mind very well, he was trying to avoid suspicion, after all, after exterminating the bandits, there were still a lot of materials and valuables in the bandits' lair, and he brought a few militiamen with him to prove that he would not be corrupt. Looking at Ryan's distant figures, Wang Yong shook his head and smiled bitterly, Ryan is really an old fritter.

Waiting for Ryan to leave, Wang Yong and the others also began to gather people to prepare for departure.

Wang Yong led two hundred people directly to the north, first raiding the lair of the Wild Wolf Bandit Group, and then continuing to the north to clear out the Electric Light Bandit Group.

Varni and Kra each led a hundred men to the north in the middle and west lanes respectively to clear out the remnants of bandits along the way, while Kevin was very reluctant to lead a hundred men, first waiting in place for enough wagons to be mobilized from the station, and then they went north along the middle lane, concentrating on transporting the materials captured by each team, and finally joined up with the others in the lair of the electric bandits.

Because of the urgency of time, if each team marched with the collected supplies, it would slow down the march and delay time. But with Kevin's convoy, they only need to send a few people to deliver the captured supplies to Kevin, and the others can move on.

Because the plan to negotiate today was carried out smoothly, and this plan for rapid advance was only finalized, so Ray and the others were not prepared at all.

After Northen returned to the cottage, he quickly mobilized carriage support, and Steward Hal did not dare to slack off, and personally went to mobilize manpower, and was very busy. In the end, within an hour, a hundred wagons were barely scraped together, but because of the lack of manpower, most of the people driving the wagons were previously wounded cannon fodder and militiamen.

After the convoy departed, Butler Hal took Lan Xi to count the equipment and supplies brought back today, and kept the old man busy.

After receiving the message relayed by Nosen, Lei took Nossen and a few militiamen, holding their noble flags, and set off towards the garrison of the border guards. Knowing that time was tight, Lei followed and did not rest at night, so he hurried all night, and finally arrived at the garrison of the border guards at noon the next day.

The garrison of the border was built on a small hillside, where a small barracks had been built, and the flag of the Empire of Ireland fluttered on the not-so-tall wooden wall, and some soldiers patrolled back and forth on the wall, reminding Reagan of the outpost he had previously garrisoned.

The size of the troops here is not large, only a brigade of 200 people is stationed, they are actually only symbolic border guards, in the past, the relationship between the two countries was good, it was impossible to go to war, and it was useless to have more troops left here.

But now the Eternal Empire has the ambition of aggression, but the Elder Empire is unable to take care of it, and it can't increase troops here to stimulate the Eternal Empire, so until now, there are only 200 people stationed here.

The soldiers patrolling the wall found Lei and the others approaching from a distance, and when they saw the noble flag of Lei and the others clearly, they quickly reported it to the supreme commander here, Captain Mu Sen.

Mu Sen is a middle-aged man in his forties, and he spent a lot of gold coins to find a relationship a few years ago before he was transferred here, because there is a lot of oil and water here, and he doesn't have to go to the battlefield to fight hard.

This is the best retirement home in the Imperial Army for those who have little ability and cannot rely on their military exploits to be promoted.

After Lei Xiang identified himself and showed his noble badge, Mu Sen smiled and welcomed Lei Xiang into the barracks, instructed someone to arrange for the militia to rest, and personally led Lei He and Nuo Sen to his living room.

Along the way, Reagan was not idle, observing the state of the soldiers in the barracks. Now there were about fifty men on duty, all of whom were wearing heavy plate armor, carrying large swords behind their backs, and crossbows hanging from the circlips of their leg armor, and they were all armed and patrolling.

Reagan felt that in this place where there had been no war for many years, it was rare that these soldiers could still be meticulous in their duties.

And those resting soldiers, they are dressed in civilian clothes, some gather in groups to gossip and fart, some are wiping their weapons and equipment, and some are busy cooking.

Regan secretly glanced into the pot, the food in it was very familiar, it was noodle soup, and it was very thin, thinner than the cannon fodder.

Regan's brows furrowed slightly, and he thought to himself, "These people can't see themselves coming, and make a show for themselves, right? But they are not in the military, so it seems that there is no need for that." ”

Regan glanced at the expressions of these soldiers, they were all smiling, the smile was definitely from the heart, their faces were full of vicissitudes, revealing the simplicity of the countrymen, definitely not the kind of old soldiers.

There is no greed and desire in their eyes, there is only incomparable satisfaction, these are definitely not something that can be pretended, this is the embodiment of their true heart.

Captain Mu Sen is the representative of these soldiers, that kind of unpretentious, more intense than other soldiers.
