It was not a particularly difficult task for the Sand Bands to attack Dane's supply line.
Their understanding of this desert may be deeper than anyone in this world, and they don't know how many caravans and travellers have been killed here.
Dean's supply line is too long, hundreds of kilometers away, but no matter how hard Palan does, this long supply line is doomed to be like a sieve, and there are loopholes everywhere.
On the third day of Dean's army entering the desert, the second supply station was burned to death, which is proof of their merits.
This supply station was originally the method that Palan had come up with. He established a number of strongholds starting from Shawan Port and along the way after his march, marking them by distance. These supply stations have a certain meaning. On the one hand, more supplies can be put in order to liberate transportation capacity. On the other hand, it can be more convenient to concentrate troops to guard.
However, even so, the loophole was caught by others.
The reason why the 2nd supply station was burned was precisely because the previous wave of the transport team had just set off and the guards had already dispatched, while another team that was supposed to arrive at the 2nd supply station on schedule was postponed due to getting lost in Fengsha .
This was the only time difference between the early days, and they were caught by others.
The loss of personnel and materials is one aspect. These will not have much impact, but the second supply station itself was burned down, but it caused a lot of trouble to the entire supply line, and it was missing in the successive construction bases. With such a piece, from one supply station to the third supply station, more than a day's journey must be completed at once, which becomes very pit.
This even directly caused Dyne's army to temporarily stop moving forward. Although he can still march forward, it is better to pause for security reasons.
Dane is waiting for the rebuilding of the second supply station. At the same time, he is also waiting for good news from Palan.
If Palan couldn't deal with those robbers with help of Philmino around him, Dane felt that he had to think about whether his promotion to Palan was wrong.
...
Dane didn't know, but Palan knew he couldn't miss this chance to prove himself.
No. 2 soldiers are responsible for the reconstruction of No.2. Thousands of soldiers are guarding No.2 supply station. It should not be a big problem. Those sand troopers have no courage to attack such a large team.
In fact, with the support of Firmino, Palan's pressure has been a lot. In the case that the enemy's specific attack target, attack time, or both are often known, Palan is not so good as to prevent the attack of the robbers.
In this context, the reconstruction speed of Supply Station No. 2 has become fast.
After a day and a half, the reconstruction of the second supply station was completed, and the supply line began to resume normal operation. This also allowed Dion's army to stagnate in the desert for two days before finally being able to move forward with confidence.
After re-supplying the important node of the second supply station, Palan began to think about setting up a suit for those robbers who have been headaches for so long.
One is enough to hang them.
After having clear information, Palan has strengthened the protection against damage, reduced the losses received by the supply line, and can carry out heavy transportation with greater confidence. However, in fact, he did not completely block off every attack of the burglar cavalry, and he did not want to expose this incident of his own intelligence channels.
The day before, the burglars were able to easily gain something, and the next day they suddenly found out how they hit the wall, even if they were stupid, they would realize that there was a problem.
In this case, Palan deliberately planted bait to feed the robbers.
He certainly didn't dare before. Without knowing the details of the enemy, Paran must have done nothing to beat the dog.
But it's different now. Under the circumstances of controllable risks and controllable losses, Palan doesn't mind sacrificing some husbands, in exchange for those robbers who can continue to bite at a certain price, at least don't give rise to any vigilance, so that he can later facilitate these desert robbers. Hit it all.
On September 23, Fillino finally got further news.
Holding a map, Palan is a treasure.
He immediately went to find Dion and asked for further support.
Dean didn't hesitate to hand over the best of the two alliances to Palan. At the same time, the five or six hundred wolf cavalry sent to Palan's men also continued to be under his command.
With soldiers in his hands, Palan's heart was full.
Schindler's First Army, White Wolf's Third Wing and Fourth Wing, a total of 3,000 soldiers, were all under his command at this moment. These 3,000 people are far more reliable than the soldiers of the garrison who he directly leads! Among the two alliances, there are also two large groups of wolf cavalry, plus the number of wolf cavalry he owns has been broken by Dane. The crossbowmen of the other two brigades, the pure swordsmen of the four brigades, and the sword dancers of the two brigades, the units formed by such a force will become extremely powerful!
In addition to his strength, Dane gave him additional support. A mage consisting of twenty mages will provide Palan with powerful spell support. At the same time, Palan also has twelve griffins on the sky, serving as the air force.
With such power, coupled with the map that Philmino provided him, he felt that if he could no longer afford the desert bandit group, he could take off his military uniform early and be a docker. Will be more promising.
In order to prevent the time from being too long and the information being invalid, Palan immediately ordered the troops and formed an army after receiving the troops from Dane.
According to Fillino's instructions and the map's guidance, Palan personally hung his armor, led an army of nearly 4,000 people, broke away from the large troops in the desert, and flew straight into the depths of the desert.
...
On the night of the 23rd, Paran's troops were still walking in the desert.
He rode a warhorse, locked his brows, and walked in the forefront of the army, thinking of his mind.
A moment later, the wind rose suddenly, and a huge beast descended from the sky and landed in front of Palan.
It was Cyber, the first trained Griffon Cavalry in White Wolf Castle, an old member of the Ghost Mercenary Regiment, and the current captain of the Griffin Cavalry Brigade. A few days ago, he has been with Dane, occasionally performing the task of air patrol, but there are few battles that can be encountered, which has long made the turbulent young people bored.
Dane has reprimanded this brother who has been with him for a long time. He has already been promoted to the rank of major, and he is still always frizzy. Cyber also knows that he is not so good, not like a mature officer, but he can't stand the activity in his nature.
This time, when he heard that Paran was going to lead an army and needed to dispatch a dozen gryphon cavalry, he went directly to the battle, so he had his captain and personally took the team-scale gryphon cavalry out to perform the task. scene.
Cyber now sat across the back of the Griffon, patted the Griffin's armpit, and grinned proudly at Palan. Under the armpit of that majestic griffin, seven or eight human heads are hanging.
"It looks like a good harvest," Palan laughed. "How many are you holding?"
"The third one." Said proudly, but then a little regretful: "I knew that there were so many rangers on the periphery. When I was in the Chinese army a few days ago, I should take the range of the Griffon Cavalry patrol A little bit more. "
That wouldn't be so boring.
Palan smiled, but didn't take up the topic, but asked another thing: "Did you not let go of any live?"
Cyber patted his chest and said, "Relax, General, my team and I are the best knights in the sky. No one can escape from under our eyes!"
"Of course, you need to count the hawk-eye technique that the mage blesses you, right?"
Fillino interjected with a word of coldness, causing Cyber to glared. I don't know what's going on. It seems that the two people were born to not deal with each other. They had known each other for a day or two and had confronted each other several times.
Palan had a headache, and he strode forward two steps, blocked between the two, and then said, "You two, be safe."
Cyber snorted, and Phil Mino took a sip, letting him just lead the team to hunt down a robber scout. He patted his griffin, fluttered his wings high, and gave him a stern glance before he left.
The agent spied with a smile.
After Cyber flew away, Palan sighed, turned to Philino and asked, "How long do you think those robbers can detect us?"
"They can't perceive us directly," Philmino said. "Although Cyberboy was a little frizzy, his abilities were really good, coupled with the excellent abilities of the Gryphon Cavalry, and the mages imposed on them. For the spell that strengthens the detection ability, I can't think of any scouts of the Sand Guards who can detect our arrival in advance and can pass information back. "
Palan nodded and approved of Philmino's law, which coincided with his idea. The main reason why he asked for such a mouthful was because of some uneasiness in his heart.
This is due to tension. In his opinion, this is the battle that determines his own future!
But because of this, he even forced himself to calm down.
He rubbed his eyebrows and asked another key question: "Okay, if they can't find our tracks directly, that's certainly very good. But the disappearance of the scouts will certainly cause the sand theft Alertness, Firmino, I want to know how long it would take them, in your judgment, to detect something wrong and react? "
"One day." Philmino thought about it and gave such an answer.
"The time of day ..." Paran thought, "It seems that our time is very urgent. In one day, even if we are marching, we may be able to reach the designated place on the map. By that time, I Worried that the enemy has already acted. "
"Even if they are prepared, they will not be our opponents." This sentence is Philmino.
Palan shook his head and said, "I am not worried that they are not prepared. I will not take these into account. What I am most worried about is that they evacuated early when they detected a problem. The camel cavalry were very They are very cunning, and they may choose to avoid it when they smell something wrong. "
Firmino shrugged his shoulders and said, "General, I'm just your intelligence adviser, not your military aide. It's up to you to know more about these battles."
"I know," Palant said. "I just want to find someone."
He did think so. In fact, Palan had an idea in mind.
It was late at this moment, and the soldiers walked for a day under the scorching sun on the wasteland in the late summer. Although the water supply was still sufficient, the soldiers still felt uncomfortable and tired.
Especially if you have to go forward with a heavy load.
Physically challenged soldiers, after the sun goes down, mostly think about taking a good rest.
However, they waited to follow the order of the advance army.
This order was personally given by Palan, who hoped that the troops would move forward overnight and reach the scheduled battlefield as quickly as possible.
After receiving the order, many officers expressed their incomprehension to Palan.
The meaning of the officers is very clear. It is not impossible to march overnight, but there is indeed a big problem in this wasteland. The sun is hot, and it is a desert area. The surface temperature during the day is very high. Even if the supply is in place, the soldiers' physical strength will suffer certain challenges.
The desert at night ~ EbookFREE.me ~ is colder than it is during the day. The huge temperature difference between day and night makes soldiers who are too hot during the day to take off all their equipment. At night, they need to add a cover to keep them warm.
In this case, you have to march overnight. Even if you can reach the battlefield at the scheduled time and intercept the enemy, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers who are too tired will be very problematic.
The third and fourth wing of the White Wolf Legion are indeed elite. They will not have too many grievances because they are required to march overnight. However, they are also flesh and blood. After the high-intensity march, they still have to prepare for a fight. Individuals will feel overwhelmed.
These issues, Palan actually considered before ordering. He is not unclear about this, but, in order not to return without success this time, he still decides to lead the army to continue, even if he will take some risks for this, he will not hesitate! · K · s · b ·
