Chapter 524: Mistakes
The logistics officers of the cavalry army of the Eternal Empire were very angry when they received the order, because the higher authorities actually asked them to take the carriage to pull back the enemy's refusal horses outside the city, which was a life-or-death task, but at this time, the military order of the superiors, even if they were unwilling, they had to bite the bullet.
As a logistics soldier, they think they have a certain advantage, under the orders of the officers, all the logistics soldiers involved in this mission are equipped with the best leather armor, and each of them is issued a shield, as far as possible to ensure everyone's personal safety, but even so, the officers also lamented again and again, I don't know how many subordinates can come back alive after completing this task.
However, when a group of logistics officers and their subordinates drove the carriage to the outermost all-iron horse-rejecting wall, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and then stood on the carriage, and commanded their subordinates to unload smooth planks from the cart and put them in front of the rejecting horses, and used the carriage to reverse the rejecting horses, so that they fell on the huge wooden boards, and then used the surplus horses to directly pull the wooden planks loaded with the rejecting horses and slide down the hillside and transport them back to the station.
For a time, the open space in the middle of the front of the two armies was occupied by the logistics troops of the Eternal Empire, and the soldiers took off their armor and shouted trumpets, and put down and moved the heavy horses one by one, as if they were at the construction site.
Wang Yong stood on the city tower and watched this scene in a daze, and after being stunned for a long time, he said angrily: "Damn, these guys are too shameless, what should we do when we see the rags and actually pick them up here?"
Chris sighed and said, "Don't you see that the cavalry is ready halfway up the mountain? If we open the city gate and go out, they will not hesitate to charge, if they rush in, we will be in danger." ”
Wang Yong scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, pointed to the enemy's very happy porters, and said, "You can't let them just move all the rejected horses, right? It's worth a lot of gold. ”
Mu Sen shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "What else should I do?" I let you place the rejection horse out of the range of the crossbow and bow and arrow. ”
Wang Yong sighed and said, "Damn, where do I know!"
Qingling said at this time: "If you don't understand, just ask." Wang Yong rolled his eyes, watching the enemy move away one by one, and he wanted to cry without tears for a while.
Vani snatched half of the cigar from Wang Yong's hand, took a hard puff and comforted: "Don't feel distressed, those guys have no way back, as long as we hold on here, it won't take a few days, and they will surrender or leave from the jungle in the north without supplies." Won't we have to leave these heavy rejections at that time?"
Wang Yong's eyes lit up when he heard this, he smiled and patted Vani's shoulder, and said shamelessly: "Hehe, I didn't expect to be seen by you, I originally planned to do so, to consume the enemy's physical strength, wahaha!" When everyone heard this, they raised their middle fingers at Wang Yong's brazenness to show encouragement.
Wang Yong stood on the city tower. Painfully smiling as he watched the enemy remove all the two layers of horses on the periphery, he raised his middle finger at the sweaty coolies, and shouted loudly from the castle tower: "Damn, there is a kind of move the rest away?"
At this time. The Heng Imperial Cavalry Group Army has already set up camp under the Shenlong Mountain Range, and the periphery of the large camp is covered with dense repulsion horses that defend against cavalry impact, of course. The iron horses of the seashore are among them.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Commander Hutt frowned and listened to the information obtained by his subordinates from the soldiers who had retreated from the Shenlong Pass, and when he heard that the enemy not only had more than twenty intermediate and above combat occupations. Hurt's face was very ugly, but when he heard that the enemy actually had a high-level warrior and a high-level magician, Hurt's brow furrowed even deeper, and he began to wonder if the Al Empire had sent all the high-end combat power here.
When he heard his subordinates report that the enemy actually had at least ten flying demonic beasts to help him fight, Hurt was about to collapse, and his original confidence in regaining the Shenlong Pass also became cold.
There are minotaur soldiers who are far beyond ordinary people, high-quality heavy armor that is difficult to break, sharp and abnormal weapons, and many masters and flying monsters, this information makes each one of them fiercely impact Commander Hurt's endurance, Commander Hurt closed his eyes weakly, thinking about everything since the beginning of this expedition, and felt that the gods in the sky were punishing him.
Everything went well at first, but before they had made it halfway through, the logistics line for transporting supplies was repeatedly attacked by unknown troops, resulting in a loss of supplies, and the soldiers' rations were only two-thirds of the regular ones. It's nothing, after a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the unknown cavalry, although they were not found, but those guys did not appear again after that, and the supply of the troops was guaranteed again.
After that, Hutt led the cavalry troops through the Hengshan Gorge, and when he was only a day's journey from the Shenlong Pass, the only passage behind him, the Hengshan Gorge, encountered an unknown enemy sneak attack, and in such a short period of time, the canyon was blocked, cutting off their retreat. This is also within the range of Hutt's tolerance, although there is not much of the supplies left, but after arriving at the Shenlong Pass, it can be replenished there.
However, it didn't take long for the direction of the Shenlong Pass to be blazing, and the sound of shouting and killing could be faintly heard, Hutt was anxious, and ordered to set off overnight to help the Shenlong Pass, but before they arrived, they got the news that the Shenlong Pass was lost, so that Hutt was struck by lightning.
However, after the forward troops gathered more than 10,000 remnants, Hurt regained his confidence and decided to take his more than 30,000 men to recapture Shenlong Pass, because he had no way to retreat. But just after hearing the enemy's strength reported by his subordinates, Hurt wanted to cry very much, he didn't expect that from the time he went out to the present, he had not walked a short road, he had not fought a battle, and he had not even seen the face of the enemy, and he was forced to a dead end by the enemy.
Hurt's mind recalled the words of the logistics officer: "There is not much food and forage left, and it can last for two days, and if the supply is reduced, it can last for three days at most." ”
Hurt let out a long sigh and looked at the only way out of the north on the map, which was a stretch of mountains and jungles that stretched to the sea, and looking at the distance between the two endpoints, Hurt shook his head and decisively gave up his plan to return to Barron Province through the jungle.
In front of him, there is only one way to survive, and that is to recapture the Shenlong Pass from the enemy. (To be continued......)
