Chapter 183: New army

Chapter 183 The New Army
The war has been going on for so long. The empire, an old and broken war machine, has been rejuvenated under the mobilization of the suddenly wise Emperor Abbas XI, and news of the victory of the Duke Tulip circulates from time to time. In the imperial capital, it inspires people again and again...
But in the afternoon one day, the sky changed!
Many people in the imperial capital saw a hurriedly galloping steed rushing in from the north gate of the imperial capital. The knight on that horse looked embarrassed, with a slanted helmet, and the dust and sweat on his face had blurred his original face. Tuan, he carries a red flag behind him-that symbolizes the urgency of the military!
The knight on the horse yelled from far away: "Bei Bailijia urgent report!!!"
Defending the city, the soldiers dared not stop, and immediately let go of the road, and sent two knights to walk in front of him.
Seeing that under the of the cavalry, the three horses rushed through the streets of the imperial capital one after another. The serious expressions and anxious expressions on the faces of the cavalry made everyone who saw this scene in their hearts feel nervous... Could it be that there is something ahead? Bad news?
The Military Services Administration is already busy. General Elliot in the Northwest Theater reported on requesting reinforcements and supplies, the transfer of materials in the North Theater, the assembly of garrison corps in various places, the mobilization of the Southern Army Corps, food, weapons and horses... Almost everyone in the Military Services Department was going crazy, but the old Marquis Caroline was still healthy, but when he saw the battle report sent in a hurry, the old Marquis who was as steady as a mountain could not sit still.
Before he could even prepare the carriage, the old guy hurried to the palace with his men on horseback.
After all, when he was getting older, he rode all the way to the gate of the palace. The Marquis Caroline was almost exhausted and was about to fall off his horse, panting violently like a dog whose neck had just been caught. But the old guy still pushed away the guard who tried to help him, and ran all the way to the palace.
What is the fastest spread in this world?
news! Gossip!
The only thing that spreads faster than the gossip is the bad gossip!
In the evening, news of the defeat in the Northern War Zone came out-Thunder City was lost! The Duke of Tulip withdrew his army to the northern provinces to deploy defenses. In a battle in Thunder City, nearly 30,000 Flame Warriors were wiped out!
The Imperial City is in an uproar...
Just when the Imperial Capital was caught in the cloud of news of the defeat, a small army was on its way to the north.
The boundless wilderness, dark clouds on the horizon, Oliseh, riding on his horse, couldn't help frowning-I hope it doesn't rain tonight.
He glanced at the team behind him: dozens of carriages were loaded with heavy military supplies, half of which were grain.
The north is not an area where food is produced. What's more, during such large-scale wars, the consumption of food is even greater. The 800-man cavalry team led by Olisekh is responsible for escorting these supplies. Kaka city in the north.
Kaka City is a material transfer station in the Northern War Zone. A large number of military materials mobilized from all over the empire are transported to Kaka City, and then distributed to the various armies.
There is also one of the destinations of Olisekh’s trip.
Oliseh, who wanted to be able to fight on the battlefield to kill the enemy, was sent out as a transport team. Naturally, this young man was very depressed-but he looked at his new armor and uniform, Oliseh’s face A smile finally appeared on Shang.
This is a brand new "Thunder Whip" standard equipment uniform, armor, horses, spears-the most important is the scimitar! The only scimitar equipped in the imperial army was Thor's Whip. Wearing this armor and equipment, after so many days along the way, the army and civilians from all over the place have met, and their eyes are full of respect and envy-Thor's Whip! That's the army of Lord Tulip!
Due to the large-scale rectification of Thor's Whip before the war, at the beginning of the war, all the 50,000 active-duty Thor's Whips were brought to the battlefield by the Duke, and preparations for the expansion of troops in the rear were also proceeding intensely
Because it was originally transferred from the local garrison, Olisekh was selected as the first batch of supplementary front-line troops of Thor's Whip. The purpose of this trip with him was to bring a cavalry squad of 800 men who had just finished training. Escort this batch of supplies to Kaka City, and then immediately report to the frontline Thor's Whip to join the battle!
Although Olisekh was excited at the moment, wishing to fly to the front line with his wings on his back, the carriages behind him still creaked and struggled on the road. The horses being pulled were a bit tired, no matter what the driver did. To drive away is just a heavy step forward.
It has been a dozen days since I walked this way, and the more I went north, the more shocking news came along the way.
Just the day before yesterday, I got the news of the fall of Thunder City, which surprised Olisekh and his party very much-Has the empire's strongest fortress on the edge of the Thunder Strait lost? The fortresses guarded by the Duke of Tulip himself have been lost?
After receiving the news, everyone in this small army felt a little heavy.
Now that the news has come, if Thunder City were really lost, it would have happened a few days ago-now?
Where is the main army of Lord Duke now?
Along the way, in addition to the new army of 800 Thunder God's Whips, there were also hundreds of transport teams. The more these people went north, the more they were afraid when they heard the news. On weekdays, I can hardly appease Olisekh, I just hope that in case of any accident, I rely on this Thor's whip.
This morning, I met several scouts from the Northern Army of the Empire to visit the horses. Oliseh and the other side inquired about the horses, only to realize that the fighting had shifted from the northern coastal zone to the inner abdomen. After the Roland people got the Thunder City, they repaired for two days, and then the army marched towards Kaka City, as if preparing to eat Kaka City with its huge storage of supplies. On the other hand, the main army of the Duke Tulip arranged several lines of defense on the path of the opposing army, blocking the advance of the Roland people layer by layer.
After several days of battles, the armies of both sides are now gathered in the Pamir Plain, a few hundred miles away from Kaka City-I am afraid there will be a general battle there!
Just getting closer to the front line, Oliseh ordered the team to step up their guard-although he was originally a cavalry leader of a local squad, but among this group of recruits, he relied on his excellent qualities to stand out. Even more important, he was originally an officer and has already served. The commander of this 800-man small cavalry unit.
A cavalry in front galloped up and rushed to Oliseh's side, and said in a low voice: "My lord... a lot of corpses were found in front!"
"Corpse?" Oliseh narrowed his eyes.
Sure enough, a low-lying ground appeared in front of my eyes when it was less than a meal.
The scene in front of them was like a Shura slaughterhouse, with corpses lying down on the ground and broken weapons scattered around. Look at the costumes of these dead people. Some of them belonged to the imperial army, but more belonged to the Roland army. There was a piece of scorched earth on the ground. It seemed that there had been signs of burning by a fire. Many corpses were already charred, and some damaged carriages fell by the side of the road. Although most of the carriages were burned, there were still some leftovers. Oliseh saw it at a glance that the residues were all food! A flag that was burned to the point where only a small portion was still inserted on the car. Although the pattern on it was pitch black, it could be vaguely seen that it was the flag of the Roland people.
"My lord, it looks like it was a small group of Roland transporters and was ambushed by our people!" A cavalry beside him whispered.
Olisekh nodded and immediately ordered: "It seems that there are already Roland army activities nearby. Everyone is on guard! From now on, open the way to explore the Maga faction twice! Brothers work harder, when I arrive in Kaka City, I Please drink!"
"Yes!"
After bypassing the tragic scene of that place, the convoy moved slowly from the side, but after walking less than a few miles, it found a bigger battlefield!
The terrain here is open and there are about a thousand dead bodies on the ground!
The army of the empire and the soldiers of the Roland people were entangled with each other, some with arrows on their bodies, some two on their heads, and warhorses that fell dead!
Judging from the blood all over the floor, the corpses in various gestures and the broken weapons, it has been a tragic fight here, but it seems that the empire still has the advantage. The corpses on the floor are 70% of the Roland people. about.
"It seems to be an encounter!" Oliseh frowned, there were deep pits on the ground that I didn't know if it was magic or sorcery, and some of them were sizzling with black smoke.
The captain of the transport team was a veteran. He couldn't help but walked up to Olisekh and whispered: "My lord, could it be the place we saw just now... well... our people ambushed them? The transport team, on the way to successfully retreat in the ambush, encountered a large army of Roland people! It looked like it had been fought hard!"
Olisekh thought for a moment, frowned and said: "We are going to speed up! It seems that we are already very close to the front line. I am afraid that there will always be Roland army activities around... unfavorable!"
A cavalry arrogantly said: "My lord, even if you encounter it, it will mostly be the opponent's small army. With our 800 Thunder God's whips here, we are not afraid even if they come to thousands of people!"
Oliseh glared at him and reprimanded: "Nonsense! Our order is to the convoy to Kaka City! When encountering an enemy army here, the small group is naturally not afraid, but once the enemy is entangled, Our convoy can’t go fast, what if a large army of troops comes after it!"
After pondering for a moment, Olisekh frowned and said, "How far is it from Kaka City?"
The leader of the transport team said, "Follow this direction, and if it goes well, you will arrive in three days.
Oliseh’s face was a little gloomy: "Soon... I hope it goes smoothly."
He ordered his cavalry to be divided into several ten-man teams to walk in front and on both sides of the team. Everyone was vigilant in their hearts. These soldiers, whether they were transport teams or Thor's Whip, were the first to see such a large scale. Before going to the battlefield to fight in the war, I first saw two such tragic scenes, and I felt a little worried.
In the evening, they walked to a low mountain break. Oliseh looked at the sky and whispered: "Just rest here. The carriage has gone for a day, and the horses have no strength."
Everyone knows that this place is already close to the front line, and there will be small army activities around at any time. If you meet yourself alone, it will be troublesome if you meet the enemy. So Oliseh ordered no fire, but stayed in the open air.
In the middle of the night, Oliseh was just a little sleepy when he heard his cavalry cry in a low voice: "My lord! Some cloth teams!"
Oliseh held the sword in his hand and stood up, and the cat waist ran to the side of the night watch soldier who was guarding the dwarf: "What's the matter?"
"My lord, listen..." The soldier leaned down and pressed his ears to the ground.
Olisekh also leaned down and pressed against the ground. He immediately heard a faint vibration. He straightened up and said in a deep voice, "It seems to be coming from the right."
The soldier also said: "Yes, my lord, it's a cavalry, but I don't know if it is Roland or ours."
"Wake everyone up! Prepare for the defensive line!"
All the soldiers were awakened, and the soldiers of Thor's Whip were indeed elite. Although they were awakened at night, they immediately returned to normal, and they were prepared nervously and orderly. The soldiers in the transport team are much worse, and there are people in a hurry, and they can't even find their weapons.
Under the dim moonlight, Oliseh and a few of his soldiers climbed on the dwarf and saw the sound of horses hoofs from the plain on the right. As expected, a brigade of troops came. Through the moonlight, he could still vaguely see the silver light of the opposing soldier’s armor, and Olisekh coldly said: "A bunch of idiots, marching at night, don’t know how to hide their whereabouts, wearing such bright armor, when everyone else is Blind?"
A cavalry next to him couldn’t help but said,
Yes, look at them, they don’t know that they are wrapping cotton cloth on horseshoes. Are you afraid of being blocked by such a big movement? It must not be our people, our people don’t. It's so bad!"
Saying that, but seeing the other side getting closer, Oliseh and his soldiers' hearts were picked up-it seems that the opponent's army has about three or four thousand people!
Although Oliseh is not afraid-even in the face of thousands of enemies, he can break through with the 800 Thor's Whips-but after all, his current task is to guard the convoy! !
When the opponent gets closer and closer, you can already clearly see that the opponent's armor and equipment and flags are all that Oliseh and others have seen today-very similar to the dead Roland soldiers!
Everyone leaned down, and the atmosphere didn't dare to take a mouthful. Although Oliseh was a little excited, he wanted to go up and fight for a fight-he was confident that with the 800 thunder god's whips he was carrying, he would not be afraid to meet these three or four thousand people in front of him, even if he could not beat him, he would go. Let's go. But after all, there is a convoy behind, and the convoy in the chaotic army does not have the speed of cavalry.
Seeing that the opponent's army was getting closer, but heading east at a distance of about two hundred meters from him, he didn't seem to find himself, so Oliseh couldn't help but sigh in secret.
But he was happy a little earlier!
"Magic!!" A soldier pulled Oliseh suddenly.
Sure enough, there are already two magicians floating in the sky. The distance between the opponents was too far, and they were wearing black robes in the night sky. Now they are close, they can see them floating on both sides of the opponent's army. Of two magicians.
When the group of Oliseh saw the other magician, the magician also saw them condescendingly!
Without any hesitation, a group of red light quickly gathered on the magician, and then a fireball smashed over.
"Damn it!" Oliseh cursed. He couldn't hide his figure at this moment, so he could only jump up, and raised his sword to block the fireball that had hit him.
With a bang, Oliseh's body smashed backwards, the fireball burst under his sword, sparks shot in all directions, and his body abruptly lifted several meters away. Fortunately, the opponent’s magician is not a high-level magician, and his strength is at a normal level. The fireball that has been gathered in a hurry is not too powerful. Oliseh just felt his body shook, although his hair was sparked by the splitting sparks. After a few strokes, there were no injuries anywhere else.
"Let's release an arrow!!" Oliseh shouted from the ground, even without getting up.
The prepared hundreds of Spikes immediately shot hundreds of sharp arrows. Those arrows were thrown into the air. The magician was too close, and before he could step back, he was shot through by a few arrows. , Fell from the air.
The other arrows fell and scattered among the opponent's army. Just because of the fireball technique that the magician had just done, the Roland army had been aware of it, and many soldiers had raised their shields, so this round of throwing by Oliseh’s men did not cause much to the opponent. Of the casualties, only a scream was heard, and fewer than a hundred people fell down with arrows.
Oliseh had already gotten up from the ground. Seeing that the opponent's soldier was hitting an arrow, he ignored the others, and shouted: "The person in the front takes up the shield, and the opponent will also release arrows!"
The soldiers of Thor's Whip have all undergone rigorous training. Although these soldiers are new troops, they all immediately put down their bows and arrows and raised their shields on the ground when they heard the command of the commander.
I only heard the swish, and sure enough, countless arrows shot from the opponent's army like locusts...
