Chapter 49
"Report." In just a few minutes, another battle report came.
"Last night, the Mayan army attacked the grain base outside Black Wolf City again at night, with a number of 5,000. After three hours of fierce fighting to retreat to the enemy, our side lost 2,000, and the enemy was unknown."
"Come." Major General Luo Wei shouted loudly, and he found something was wrong.
"What are the general's instructions?" a messenger walked in.
"These three battle reports are yesterday at noon, evening and midnight. Why are they delivered one after another only a few minutes apart?" Luo Wei asked.
"The officials asked the envoys. According to what they said, from Black Wolf City to our Little Bear City, there were Mayan Army Rangers all the way, and they had to change directions many times." The messenger replied. It seemed that he had also thought of this question and had asked in advance. He was indeed the messenger of the regular army.
"Interesting, the Mayan army intends to let these messengers arrive at the same time. What is the purpose?" Vero touched Guangguang's chin and thought, and could not guess the other party's purpose for the time being.
However, one thing is certain that the Mayan army has not come in many places and has very strong combat power, which is very consistent with his previous judgment. Otherwise, the Mayan army could have attacked a certain warehouse base and just run away after fighting.
"Report."
"Huh? Come in." Another battle report came.
However, this time it was not the battle report from Black Wolf City, but the battle report and order from the White Tiger City Logistics Command Post. In addition to Black Wolf City, there is also a warehouse city, Black Hawk, which has also been attacked three times, and the losses are slightly smaller than Black Wolf City.
There are two items in the order. First, no less than 5,000 people per person to support Black Wolf City; second, three to five squadrons were sent in units of thousands to eliminate all Mayan rangers within 50 kilometers.
"Send troops to support? Black Wolf City has not reached the level of support, and it can be seen that this is likely to be a striking attack. I am afraid that even the Mayan army commander himself does not know which warehouse base to attack. The escort situation here should be more stringent than they imagined. As for eliminating the ranger, I will do it without the commander-in-chief's order." Vero murmured to himself, he couldn't quite understand the first order.
Regardless of whether the commander's consciousness is understood, the order must be carried out. After repeated verification of the order and the sent messenger, the authenticity of the order can be confirmed. Luo Wei does not want to be involved in the Mayan army's tricks, but at present, there is almost no possibility of fake orders.
Luo Wei had a lot of troops in his hands. He sent five thousand troops from a small principality to support Black Wolf City, and then drew a team of thousands from the other five small principalities. As the commander, on the premise of protecting the victory of the operation, he must also maintain his balance. The troops of these small principalities not only have no combat effectiveness, but are also unwilling to fight and cannot be biased towards any principality.
In fact, Vero was not familiar with these six principalities. He was an imperialist and did not belong to any kingdom or principality. As for the principality sent out to support, he carefully analyzed the commander and ensured that the support mission was safer than destroying the ranger, and then ordered them to set off.
As for the ten thousand people under his command, he was not able to move for the time being. As long as these ten thousand people were in hand, even if all Maya attack troops came, he would be sure to support the arrival of reinforcements to ensure the safety of the base.
The five clearing teams sent out not only had thousands of people, but also distributed meteor artillery. As an emergency, the distance between the operation is within 50 kilometers of the four-week Bear City. If there is danger, reinforcements can arrive within two hours. A thousand people will not be able to support them for two hours. It will take time to stand and let someone kill them.
Little Bear City and Black Wolf City are only 100 kilometers apart. If Black Wolf City also conducts the same clearance operation, it will be difficult for the Mayan army to have a hiding place in this area.
Over the past few months, Danny has been really bored. He has played all the places around Little Bear City and has been hunting many times. However, Little Bear City is located on a plain with no mountains or forests around, so where can there be many prey? Moreover, the hunting game is not the Delan Army, but the army of the six principalities has it, so it is not enough to divide it.
This time I heard that there was a mission, and Danny was energetic. When he first arrived at Bear City, he could still train troops with peace of mind, but over time, this place was completely peaceful, and the training became more and more relaxed.
Danny wanted to order a thousand troops to set off. Thinking of his father, Grand Duke Delan, hesitated for a while and sent someone to invite Feleg. Although this place is not on the front line, he has discovered the Mayan army, so it is better to be careful. After all, life is still the most precious.
With Feleg, Merlin and two hundred private soldiers, the clearance team immediately expanded to 1,200, fortunately, this was not considered a violation of the order. Feleg and his private soldiers were not among the three thousand soldiers of Delan.
The situation in the other six countries is similar. Most of the people sent here are the sons and nephews of the Grand Dukes. They are considered to have come out to experience it, and they are not dangerous and can feel the atmosphere of war. When these people go out to clear out, they naturally have to bring the guards sent by the Grand Dukes to them.
However, they do not have the good luck of Duke Delan. No principality has a magician. Even if a certain principality has a magic apprentice, they are still studying at the Imperial Magic Academy. As a magic apprentice, even if they are not following the tutor, they will not be able to come to the front line.
Although there are no magicians, there are many level 7 and 8 warriors. One principality even hired a level 11 high-level warrior. There are not many such masters in the regular army of the empire. In Little Bear City, except for Major General Luo Wei who is a level 12 warrior, only his deputy and two thousand-person captains are level 10. Here, the level 11 warriors are definitely qualified to be called masters.
The Delan Army was assigned to the southwest. This direction was 100 kilometers away from Baihu City, which was the direction where the logistics command center was located, so it was the safest. Luo Wei also considered that the Delan Army was the weakest among the Duchy Army, so he chose a safe and easy direction.
According to the oral statement of the messenger, most of the intercepted Mayan Rangers were composed of fifty people and half a team of cavalry, which was enough to deal with the messenger. Even if the Delan army was not bad, there would be no reason to be defeated by a thousand people against fifty people. Instead, be careful of being ambushed by the Mayan army brigade.
It took a day to send these five troops out. Major General Luo Wei was physically and mentally exhausted. The military quality of these principalities was quite good, but the commander was too poor and had no practical experience at all. He had to repeatedly remind him to take into account all the situations as much as possible and explain them clearly. But war is ever-changing, so how can it be explained clearly in half a day?
Danny was very excited. This time, he was very willing to fight a battle with the Mayan army. He was still very willing to fight this kind of battle of victory. Although his heart was full of desire for victory, he was still cautious and sent out ten groups of scouts to clearly explore the entire army within three kilometers of front, back and left and right, and did not give the Mayan army any chance.
Since it was a clearance mission, the troops were not moving fast, and after two hours, they had only traveled more than 30 kilometers. Along the way, let alone the Mayan army, even ordinary civilians could not see them. Recently, news about the Mayan army spread around, and the surrounding areas of several cities became much deserted, and the caravans disappeared.
Danny was considering whether to let the troops rest for a quarter of an hour. Although it was not long, today's Sun Wheel was very hot. Even if he was sitting on a war horse and wearing a full set of armor, he was like being in a steamer. Not to mention an ordinary soldier, even he, a level seven warrior, felt extremely sad.
Among the entire team, only Ferlig and Merlin were the most relaxed. They were wearing chain mail, which was breathable and ventilated, which was completely different from the warrior's plate armor. Moreover, as magicians, it has become an instinct to control the magic elements around them, which is naturally an easy thing to make the body flow with a breeze.
"Let the team rest for a while." Felleg said. This was exactly what Danny wanted. These soldiers were dizzy and weak all over by the sunshine. Even if they encountered Maya Rangers, they were afraid they would not be able to catch up with them. It was more important to maintain a good state.
Danny was about to issue an order, and a sharp sound of arrows was heard from the front of the left. Filigo and Danny looked up and saw five red smoke rising above the front of the left, and the two of them changed color at the same time.
The large army used meteor cannons, which could soar more than fifty feet into the sky and can be seen fifty kilometers away. The scouts used arrows with smoke, sounds that were spread several miles, and were dozens of meters high. They carried smoke of different colors, representing different meanings.
This red represents two hundred enemies, and five arrows were launched at the same time, which means that the number of enemies was one thousand. Danny and Ferig knew very well that the Mayan army sent out this time were elite soldiers, far from comparable to the Duchy Army. Even the regular imperial army under Major General Luo Wei was slightly inferior.
With the same number, the Delan army could not be the leader of the Mayan army. This is only Danny felt the painstaking efforts of Major General Luo Wei. The Mayan army had fewer people, so he could only adopt the tactic of sneak attack. There were too many troops in each base, so they did not have the ability to attack directly, so they had to mobilize the Auckland army out of the city, which made Major General Luo Wei beat it.
Luo Wei told Danny many times how to deal with the enemy when sending a large number of scouts, using smoke-propelled arrows. Even so, Danny was stunned for a moment when he saw the red arrows.
"Retreat immediately and release meteor artillery." The first person to react was Merlin. Ferleg, like Danny, was still in shock.
"Yes, yes... retreat immediately and fire meteor artillery." Danny then realized that he was confident that training such things would disappear without a trace when it was practically combated.
Three meteor cannons rose up in the sky, and the entire team had begun to retreat. Ferleg could see dust flying from afar. It should be Maya's cavalry team.
