Chapter 1559 Chapter 1545. Battle of the Highlands 15
South of Moyunling, the temporary camp of the West Route Army.
This place has become a transit point for materials. After a large amount of materials are transported from the forest camp, they will be stored in this camp.
Recently, there have always been some military business groups starting from here, transporting carts of supplies to the military stronghold west of the Villagaxi hills.
Some adventure groups that returned from the battlefield also recuperated in this camp.
The Marquis of Worcester Caesar walked to the front of a stack of supplies and began to count the military supplies. The clerk on the side asked him: "Master Marquis, do you want to bring some of these supplies?"
Marquis Worcester Caesar shook his head, took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, these armor patches for repairing the armor will be placed here first."
He paused before saying: "Be sure to streamline the transport team. This time we will go north first, and then go around the North Sunderland Mountains along the northern shore of the inner lake..."
…
Worst Caesar Marquis these days in the camp are not easy.
As the logistics quartermaster of the reinforcements in Handanal City, he needs to provide various supplies to the reinforcements, the most important of which is the rations of the soldiers.
Since there is no shortage of grass on the Moyunling Highlands, Marquis Caesar does not need to provide fodder for the horses, but if he wants to keep the horses on the battlefield from losing weight, he must provide beans and grain bran to feed the horses .
In addition, Marquis Caesar also needs to provide arrows, kerosene, hemostatic bandages and other supplies to the reinforcements.
These are his professional affairs.
Of course, he came to the Moyunling Highland with the reinforcements from Handanal City for more than this.
The purpose of his coming here is to purchase some unidentified black magic crystals.
But the Marquis of Xize lived on the Moyunling Highlands for more than half a month, and the unidentified black magic crystals he received did not fill his waist pocket.
Of course, the worst is not these...
What troubled Marquis Woster Caesar was that his logistics transportation team had completely cut off contact with the reinforcements in Handanal City on the northern tundra.
Now there are evil ghosts on both sides of the canyon passage from the North Sunderland Mountains to the northern tundra. During this time, Marquis Caesar has organized three material transport teams, but unfortunately none of the transport teams can pass through the canyon.
Marquis Caesar originally wanted to go to Marquis Simon Geoffrey's Constructed Swordsman Group to help **** a batch of logistics supplies, but the hills of Villagasi have been completely captured by the evil ghost army. There was news that Marquis Simon and his Construct the swordsman group to operate around the south bank of the Neihu Lake.
But Marquis Caesar sent many messengers to look for Marquis Simon Jeffrey along the shore of the Neihu Lake. The news that the messengers brought back was that 'Marquis Simon Jeffrey and his Constructed Swordsman Group could not be found'.
When these reinforcements passed through the canyon in the eastern section of North Sunderland, Marquis Worcester Caesar knew that the logistical supply line would become the biggest problem.
Now his speculation has indeed come true. If the rations cannot be delivered to the reinforcements in Handanal City, they will probably eat up all the rations they carry.
"No matter what method we use, we have to send this batch of supplies up this time. If my estimate is correct, the rations at Marquis Heller's side will be eaten up in the next few days. If we can't send them over, wait for us The estimate is the court of the Handanal City House of Representatives. ’ he said to the clerk.
The clerk is a close confidant of the Marquis of Worcester Caesar. Hearing what the Marquis said, he said with a look of embarrassment: "My lord, the Marquis of Heller has gone too deep this time. They are all evil spirits. Without the guards, the logistics transport team would not be able to go that far. '
"Heller is likely to be in trouble. Now almost all the adventure groups have withdrawn from the North Sunderland Mountains. Simon's Constructed Swordsman Group has also disappeared in the Villagasi Hills. It seems that the situation has changed. Our I have to find a way to send the supplies up..." Marquis Caesar frowned and said.
"Master Marquis, or we hire some adventure group to **** our convoy north. I think there should be an adventure group familiar with that area." The clerk made a suggestion to Marquis Caesar.
Marquis Nishizawa froze for a moment, then looked at the clerk, and said happily:
"That's right, hiring a few adventure groups can not only protect the transport team, but also serve as guides. After all, these adventure groups are more familiar with this Moyunling Highland than we are. This is a good idea, so let's do it."
Immediately afterwards, he said: ‘Let’s go, let’s get in touch with the adventure group at the camp and see if they have any ideas about taking on this task. '
…
The West Route Army built a military fortress on a high hill on the edge of the western edge of the Villagaxi hills, and the surrounding walls have been erected unconsciously.
At the beginning, the wall was only a base, and the entire fortress was like a huge platform on a high hill, where the heavy armored infantry soldiers stood on the high platform to resist the charge of evil spirits.
But when the time came, the city wall began to take shape, and then the speed of building soared every night.
The entire stronghold was surrounded by high stone walls, and the fortress on the hill looked even taller from the outside.
But in fact, there is only such a wall in this stronghold, and there are still pieces of temporary off-white tents inside the city wall.
The task of the magician scout group has been very heavy recently, and almost all the magicians are out on missions. Suldak led the West Route Army to fight on the Moyunling Highlands. Although the heavy armored infantry group is also very powerful, But the powerful role of cavalry has gradually begun to be reflected.
First of all, the cavalry has more flexibility and mobility. In addition, if Suldak has a heavy cavalry instead of heavy infantry, it is estimated that they have already hit the foot of the North Sunderland Mountains.
Whether it is a Constructed Knights or a Heavy Cavalry, on the battlefield of Moyunling Highlands, they are more practical than heavy armored infantry.
The most famous army of the Grimm Empire on Roland Continent is also the Constructed Knights.
"The news just came back that Andrew led the Constructed Knights in the upper reaches of the Allinge River, and together with the Western Expeditionary Army of the Aegrod Tribe, they defeated an army of evil spirits." The Avid magician walked in from the outside, and then Can't wait to report on Surdakhui.
Suldak quickly picked up the red and blue pencils from the table, turned around and painted the area north of the Allinge River in red. From the map, the Allinge River connects the northern mountain pass of Moyunling to the entire eastern area , the southern entrance, and finally to the Mevajixi Canyon. Now the territory occupied by the Western Route Army on the Moyunling Highlands forms a big 'C', which has already included the Villagaxi Hills, the North Sunderland Mountains, the Inner Lake, the North and South Enclosed by two tundra and Mount Horsens to the west.
It is estimated that the evil spirits in Horsens Mountain Barracks feel the most deeply.
Especially now that the West Route Army has firmly controlled the exits at the north and south ends of the Moyunling Highlands, making the evil ghost army a trapped beast.
As the West Route Army continues to approach, the pressure on the evil ghost army will continue to increase.
However, Suldak didn't want to push the group of evil spirits too hard, so he let the western army of the Aigrod tribe near the source of the Allinge River station in place, and let the western army station at the western end of the Villagaxi hills. Build a military fortress to further compress the range of activities of the evil spirits.
"Where are the reinforcements in Handanar City now? How is the situation?" Suldak continued to ask.
Master Avid pointed to the foot of the northern mountain near North Sunderland with the fir staff in his hand, and reported to Suldak:
"At present, the reinforcements of Handanal City have withdrawn from the northern tundra. The Constructed Swordsman Group of Marquis Simon Jeffrey is behind to stop the pursuit of the evil spirits. Let the reinforcements go east along the mountains. If If there is no evil ghost army to stop, it is estimated that it will take another day to reach the northern shore of Neihu Lake."
Suldak didn't speak, and continued to look at Master Avid.
"There just happened to be an army of evil spirits near the north shore of Neihu Lake. The reinforcements of Handanar City happened to bump into it in the direction they were heading..." Mage Avid added.
Suldak knew that the evil spirits in the North Sunderland Mountains were gathering, but he didn't expect that there would be so many evil spirits hidden in this mountain.
In fact, what Suldak cared about was not the reinforcements in Handanar City, but the war horses in their hands.
That is the best ancient Bolai horse in the great meadow of Handanal County.
Although these ancient horses cannot form heavy cavalry and constructed knights, it is absolutely no problem to use them to form a ranger.
"Where are those war horses?"
"The current condition of those war horses is not bad." Master Avid replied, "They plan to go east, and then go around from the northern shore of the inner lake to the southern entrance of the highland..."
"Are they trying to withdraw?" Suldak asked staring at the map.
Mage Avid said: "There should be such a plan..."
…
Handanaer city reinforcements were evacuated from the temporary camp in the northern tundra after nightfall. They left in a hurry. Although they took away everything they could, the hillside was still full of mess.
Almost all the tents were put away and taken away, including the windproof ropes that fixed the tents, but the iron feet that were nailed into the soil could not be fully pulled out.
There are also some temporary clay stoves, and some overturned iron pots and wooden frames.
All the heavy armored infantry put a bit on the mouth of the horse, took off the bell on the horse, and they left quietly in the dim night.
Actually, the evil ghost army was aware of it, but this group of evil ghosts were frightened by the night battle of the West Route Army, so even if they were aware of something, they did not dare to act rashly.
Waiting until after dawn, the evil ghost army chased after the traces left by the reinforcements when they retreated.
The 50,000 remnant soldiers led by Marquis Heller have not yet gone far. In order to allow the horse infantry to throw off the army of evil spirits, Marquis Simon Geoffrey can only bite the bullet and lead the constructed swordsmen to kill the army. A group of evil spirits stopped him.
Fortunately, the constructed swordsmen don't have to fight this evil ghost army to the death, they only need to intercept it a little.
Of course, it would be better if it could be delayed a little longer. Although the Handanal City reinforcements had a large number of horses, they did not move fast due to the large number of wounded soldiers in the legion.
Marquis Heller doesn't want this army of evil spirits to still cling to the reinforcements in the next period of time.
It's just that Marquis Simon Geoffrey is also suffering at this time and can't tell. His Construct Knights have just gone through the disintegration storm, and the morale of the regiment is not high. The swordsmen complained quite a bit.
They came to the Moyunling Highland from Handanal City in order to besiege and kill some evil spirits and get some unidentified black magic crystals.
However, due to Marquis Simon Geoffrey's wrong judgment on the situation, the Constructed Swordsman Corps missed a good opportunity and failed to join forces with the Constructed Knights Corps of the West Route Army to kill the evil spirits.
Subsequently, the Constructed Swordsman Group and the Evil Ghost Army launched several small-scale battles in a row, with almost no gains.
Some constructed swordsmen with free identities began to secretly leave the team. Now, Marquis Simon Jeffrey actually let the constructed swordsmen die on the battlefield. All constructed swordsmen began to consider the way out after the mission was completed. They Although it belongs to the private army of some big lords in Handanar City, they don't do all the rough work.
This time, the lords of Handanar City originally planned to take advantage of the situation in the Moyunling Highlands to occupy as much territory as possible.
But Marquis Valentin Heller's ambitions were too great. He almost included the entire western central area of Moyunling into the occupied area, and led the horse infantry deep into the northern tundra.
Marquis Simon Jeffrey stayed in the messy camp. When the sky was dim, he watched the evil spirits in the camp not far away surround him.
"This group of damned fellows, have the traps been set? We have to give them some color, and I hope we can eat meat this time..." Marquis Simon Jeffrey shouted sharply and submissively.
He rode on horseback, raised his haughty chin.
Several construction swordsmen signaled that the arrangement was ready, and the other construction swordsmen just waited silently, and everyone was silent without any response.
The atmosphere in the Constructed Swordsman Group instantly became very strange and a little embarrassing.
Simon Jeffrey is a noble Marquis after all, his face flushed instantly, and he glanced angrily at the swordsmen around him.
The evil spirits not far away have already touched them. Marquis Simon Geoffrey is not prepared to fight these evil spirits, and then said: "We retreat..."
Although his voice was a little low, it did not prevent it from falling into the ears of every constructed swordsman. These constructed swordsmen pulled the reins and retreated to the southeast without looking back.
Marquis Simon Geoffrey on horseback grinned at himself, looking at the constructed swordsmen galloping south without saying a word, thinking that they would probably only respond to this order, this constructed sword It's really a failure to be the leader of the regiment...
The evil spirits who rushed to the hillside found that the temporary camp behind the earth wall was empty except for a few traps.
The ghost warriors began to let out a deep roar, and then the whole ghost army started to move, and they quickly chased after the reinforcements in Handanaer City.
Not far in front, you can still see the figures of some constructed swordsmen, and the ghost warriors began to speed up their pace...
Another chase across the tundra, only this time...
Even Marquis Simon Jeffrey's Constructed Swordsman Group got involved.
