Chapter 13: The Outpost
The warehouse was not big and empty, and there were more than a dozen bags of things in the corner that I don't know what they were, which should be grain.
The logistics officer pointed to the pile of things and said to Wang Yong and them: "That's it, you all move away, it's cheaper for you." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Wang Yong walked over to take a look, and saw that the grain in the bag was already moldy, so he frowned and said to the logistics officer: "All this grain is moldy, what should I do if I eat it badly, it is yours or who's it? Besides, just a few grains are enough for anyone to eat? More than 200 of us will eat for three days at most." ”
The logistics officer looked at Wang Yong and them with disdain, and said impatiently: "No, that's all, if you want to move out, if you don't, get out." With that, he turned and left the warehouse.
Wang Yong was very angry by the attitude of the quartermaster, but he still maintained his sanity, and Wang Yong, who knew that the official was crushing people to death, finally sighed, and when he wanted everyone to move the food back, he felt that something was wrong:" No, I didn't see other nobles send people to receive food here, they should have gone to other warehouses, that is to say, there are other grains, besides, this is the front line, it is impossible to just order food, I heard that the two empires in this war have really fired, each country has dispatched about 50,000 people, which is almost half of the imperial standing army, how much food do the 50,000 people get, there must be other grain depots or something, there is no here, we can go to other logistics warehouses to get it, why hang yourself on a tree. ”
Thinking of this, Wang Yong greeted everyone, and took a large group out of the warehouse to find other logistics warehouses.
What Wang Yong didn't know was that when they left, the quartermaster just now was hiding in the corner, looking at their backs and smiling disdainfully.
After more than half an hour, Wang Yong and Kevin found two more logistics warehouses one after another, but when they identified themselves and their intentions, they were directly driven out by the guards of the soldiers.
After many inquiries, Wang Yong learned that the supply of the noble militia also had a special warehouse, which was the one Wang Yong and the others had just gone to.
In the end, in desperation, Wang Yong and Kevin returned to the original warehouse and resisted the moldy grain.
However, when Wang Yong and the others were moving the grain, the logistics officer came over and sneered: "Aren't you leaving? Why are you coming back again? I thought you were very planted, so you don't need these grains?" After speaking, he spat on the ground.
Wang almost lost his courage, looked at the logistics officer's face viciously and wanted to kick it when he saw it, held back his anger, and shouted loudly: "Line up, stand upright." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Kevin and Carl and more than a dozen hooligans, with Wang Yong and Kevin as the standard, Ma Li stood in a row, facing the logistics officer, Wang Yong glared at the logistics officer, and said loudly: "One, two, three." As soon as Wang Yong's words fell, everyone faced each other together
The service officer raised his middle finger and shouted "Damn", and then Wang Yong ignored the logistics officer who was as stupid as a wooden chicken, beckoned everyone, and left with a grin.
Wang Yong and their ability to cooperate so tacitly is because these ruffians are often with Wang Yong and Kevin, and when Wang Yong and Kevin usually talk, they often rely on each other, which may be professional intuition, and these ruffians are very fond of the word 'rely on', so after a long time, they will be self-taught.
Later, after Wang Yong found out that everyone had a soft spot for the word 'rely on', he organized their gang of ruffians together, and everyone cooperated a few times, but they were surprised to find that so many people stood in rows and scolded the street together, which was much more imposing than him and Kevin.
Later, Wang Yong and the others simply did this often, and while exercising group cooperation, they often made some soldiers very angry, so now their cooperation is so tacit.
I still remember the time when everyone practiced at the beginning, and the whole team often heard the sound of you leaning, me leaning, and everyone leaning together, which made those officers and lords who led the team not know what to do.
The scene returned to the logistics warehouse, Wang Yong and their yelling, which really startled the logistics officer, and heard Wang Yong and them shouting "Damn" Word, the logistics officer knew that it was not a good word, and he wanted to teach these turtle-like militiamen a hard lesson, but looking at the fierce face of these ruffians and hooligans, it is estimated that they will have to suffer in the past, if they find someone to come and help, if the matter is big and stabbed to the top, he will not take any advantage, so the logistics officer just glared at Wang Yong and the others fiercely, and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and endured it.
Wang Yong and the others came with a total of eighteen people, but there were only thirteen bags of grain here, so Wang Yong asked those ruffians to resist one bag and go back first, and he and Kevin took Carl and the three of them to other places to get feather arrows.
Although the militia led by the nobles brought their own weapons and equipment, the empire still supplied them with food and feather arrows, of course, if they felt that they were rich, no one cared about them.
When Wang Yong and Kevin arrived at the warehouse where the feather arrows were hoarded, they still summoned the same disdain and trouble, and like the grain, they only received ten bundles (100 in each bundle) of crooked inferior feather arrows.
By now, Wang Yong was just stupid, and he felt that someone was deliberately making things difficult for them.
Wang Yong has not only offended anyone when he first arrived in this world, and although the other ruffians have many enemies, they will not offend those 'big men' who can mobilize quartermasters to make things difficult for them. Thinking about it this way, it should actually be Thunder and the Lord who was targeted.
During the time of the journey, Wang Yong and Kevin also chatted with Lei and the lord a few times, and after several contacts, Wang Yong felt that Lei Gan was kind and kind, and he didn't have any arrogance, and he thought about those things that practiced gold every day.
"It seems that I have to talk to the lord when I go back, so that he can take precautions in advance, lest he be unlucky, and his own group will probably not be better at that time. Wang Yong thought precautionally.
After meeting with the team, Wang Yong and Kevin found Lord Lei and sat beside Reagan with a big grin and reported: "Lord Lord, the quartermaster only gave us a dozen bags of moldy food, and there are so many of us that we can't last a few days at all." ”
Ray said to the lord: "The legion commander said that he will send us supplies every five days, and there are many military stations on the way, and we can also go there to replenish supplies. ”
Wang Yong snorted at what Reagan said, and then told his guess and analysis and Lei Jiao, hoping that he could make arrangements as soon as possible, Wang Yong did not want to become a victim of those aristocratic struggles.
After listening to Wang Yong's words, Lei He was silent for a long time before sighing, and said with a gloomy face: "I know that someone is targeting me, and I also know who it is, otherwise I would not have been sent to the battlefield, and you would not have been arrested to fight." ”
Lei looked at Wang Yong and found that he was not surprised after listening to his words, so he asked in surprise, "What's the matter, don't you blame me, the lord, for causing you trouble?"
Wang Yong looked at Regan with a sincere face, and summed up in his heart: "Actually, as a lord and nobleman, it seems that there is no need to explain anything to a commoner like himself, it seems that this Lei Heel is not bad, I don't want other nobles to be so snobbish, but I am a little human."
Silly, if he were on Earth. It is estimated that it will be quite popular with beauties, because the criteria for most beauties to choose a mate are - stupid people and a lot of money, even if they are a little bit more acceptable, Regan's is just right. ”
Although he thought so in his heart, Wang Yong was not yet strong enough to say it to his face, Wang Yong replied nonchalantly: "What is there to complain about, since they are all here, what is it like to be a deserter, it is true to find a way to live, I still have to wait to go back and marry a wife, hehe." After speaking, Wang Yong and Reagan waved their hands and turned to leave.
Lei and introverted, usually don't like to talk much, during the time of the trip, saw Wang Yong and Kevin with those ruffians jumping up and down all day long, nothing to do and tossing, Regan felt that his mood was also a lot happier, and later chatted with Wang Yong and them a few times, and felt that Wang Yong looked bohemian, but very connotative, so he said so much to Wang Yong.
In fact, Wang Yong is what kind of bohemian and uninhibited, it is purely an idle egg pain, and it is just an unsuccessful thing to provoke, as for the connotation, there is still a little bit, after all, Wang Yong has an age and experience that does not match his appearance.
The team set off again, destined for an avant-garde outpost in the forest west of Liech City, which was at the forefront of the battlefield, and was built in the forest to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on the Empire's logistical supply lines from outside the forest.
The team rounded the city of Leech and advanced to the southwest, and when they reached the south and west of the city, the five saw with their own eyes the last line of defense of the main army of this war.
According to Lord Regan, the empire has arranged a total of three lines of defense along the border, the front two lines of defense, the first one is built at a pass on the border, which is a natural danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The second line of defense was built by the river, where the roads were muddy and not suitable for marching, and it was also a good place to defend.
The last line of defense was on the plain outside the city of Liech, where a total of twenty legions and 40,000 men were gathered, and the solid stone army where Jimmy was recruiting was also among them, and the length of the three lines of defense was about 200 miles.
And most of the militia led by the nobles are basically defended on both flanks of the second line of defense, about 10,000 people, like Wang Yong's team, the noble militia sent out to the first line of defense is almost the only one.
Looking at the last line of defense, the battle flags fluttering in the sky, and the camp tent that could not be seen at a glance, it felt as if there were a million people here, Wang Yong estimated that if he went in and took a turn, he would be the first person to get lost, because Wang Yong was a road idiot.
Everyone left the city of Leech with different moods, because they were not in a hurry, and it was two hours before the group reached the outskirts of the forest. The trees on the outskirts of the Monster Forest were sparse, and there was only one path for people to walk, about five or six meters wide, which led straight to the outpost they were going to garrison.
Along the path, the group slept in the open and traveled south for five days, and finally reached the vicinity of the outpost where they were to be stationed. On the way, when they passed through two military stations, they replenished food, and because Wang Yong and they had no logistics, only a small carriage, they arrived at their destination so quickly, otherwise, on such a mountain road, the journey of two hundred miles is definitely not enough for ten days.
The location of the outpost is very good, it is built in the densest place in the depths of the woods, and the road leading to the outpost is also deliberately covered with branches, if you don't pay attention, you can't find it at all, Wang Yong and they can't find the specific location of the outpost if they don't have the soldiers of the outpost to guide them.
When the group arrived at the outpost, Wang Yong carefully looked at the outpost, the entire outpost was built with thick wooden piles, and the periphery was a five-meter-high, 150-meter-long square wall, and the vines on the wall looked like a small hill from a distance, which was difficult to be found.
Inside the outpost, there is a wooden platform more than three meters high and five meters wide against the wall, which is for soldiers to walk and patrol on.
In the middle of the north wall, there is a gate more than five meters wide wrapped in iron sheets, and when you enter the gate, you can see that there is an independent wooden house in the middle of the outpost, and the size of the wooden house should be about 200 square meters. On the east, west, and north sides (except for the gates) were a row of simple wooden sheds, which were built on wooden platforms and were occasionally fed in and out by soldiers, as they were supposed to be resting places.
There is also a well next to the wooden house in the middle of the outpost, which is the only water source for the entire outpost, and there is nothing else, basically it can be said that this place is very simple, very simple, and Wang Yong's imagination of the city wall and bunker, there is no place in the same place.
After Ray led the team into the outpost, the officers here greeted him with a pleasant greeting, and then pulled Regan into the cabin, not knowing what to whisper.
After Reagan left, Wang Yong's militia was a little at a loss, and finally a few of the lord's guards came over to let everyone rest in place, and Wang Yong and the others sat on the ground with peace of mind.
In the past few days, everyone has been tired of hurrying, and those who are in better health can still sit on the ground, and those who are weak are basically lying on the ground on their backs, and there are all shapes, some are lying on their backs, some are facing the sky, and some are lying together and bragging, so that the soldiers standing guard are okay to look at these militiamen and snicker.
Especially when I saw Wang Yong and Kevin, they almost attracted the attention of most of the soldiers, no way, their equipment was too classic, very eye-catching.
After twenty minutes, the officer of the outpost and the lord of Ray and the lord came out of the hut, and then the officer began to gather his soldiers, and when his soldiers were standing in line and ready to leave, the officer came over and said to Ray and the lord with a relieved face, "Ray and the baron, this place will be handed over to you from now on." ”
After speaking, he took out three cylinders on his body that were five centimeters thick and twenty centimeters long and handed them to Lei He, this cylinder was black all over, and only the top of one end was red. The officer said solemnly: "This is a magic signal, if you find a large group of enemies invading, aim the red direction at the sky, and then turn it below to send a magic signal, and the eastern defense line can see it, and they will send people to support you." "As an alchemist, Reagan certainly knows how to use magic signals.
Seeing that Regan had no doubts, the officer greeted Regan and couldn't wait to leave the outpost with the team, and disappeared into the forest in a blink of an eye.
