Chapter 581 [Dagger Stab]
In General Andre's letter, he reported to Du Wei what happened in the past few days in a tone full of guilt and apology, with a hint of sincerity and fear, mainly about the ten elite tyrants that Du Wei had seconded to him.
The Tianhu team was injured during the previous mission.
General Andre remembered very clearly that Du Wei had repeatedly told him that those ten people were given to him as a training team for future military officers, and each member was an extremely precious future pillar.
But now... Sieg and others were injured during their first mission, and two members of the Decepticon team were killed. They were all elite officers of the Decepticon Sky Knights.
One of the two people who died in the battle was Du Wei's disciple for several years. He was a magic apprentice of Hogwarts College since the establishment of the Magic Academy, and then followed Du Wei to the northwest. He can be said to be a direct descendant of Du Wei.
!
As for the other name "Rohart", when Du Wei saw this name, he was silent for a while. He remembered this young man very clearly, not just because this Rohart was a loyal Rohart.
Lin Ren, not because Rohart's father was once a carpenter in Luo Lin Manor, nor because he once rewarded this boy with a magic amplification ring.
It's because this boy named Rohart is a young man in the Decepticon team. From Captain Sieg down, everyone admires him very much. He is a star of hope. When he was in the northwest, this boy was once a
I have faced the third prince of the dragon clan, a golden dragon! A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. This Rohart has outstanding training results, strong learning ability, and a smart mind. His calm and decisive temperament can defeat a group of veteran Decepticons.
Standing out from the squad and joining as a rookie one of the ten frontline officers sent to the northern theater, this in itself already reflects Rohart's status and potential among the Decepticon air riders.
The situation on the front line is not very optimistic.
The criminals had previously attacked the empire's floating fleet, and later such attacks occurred sporadically twice, but the empire had never figured out what the underwater troops of the criminals looked like.
And... the aerial power of the sinners, the elves, finally showed up. Although I don’t know what the elf king Luoxue had in mind. Because the elves have not officially entered the battle, these days, the main battlefield is still
The main fortress of Kaspersky's defense line, the main offensive force is still the orcs of the sinners. The elves seem to have been waiting for something...
In Andre's letter, the following was jointly signed by him and Sieg. Sieg also apologized guiltily to Du Wei in the letter. However, although Du Wei was annoyed, he also understood that the war on the front line was unpredictable. He could not blame them for this kind of thing.
of.
Longbottom's secret letter was relatively simple. The fat man went to lead the mercenaries from all over the continent. These days, under the help of the fat man's Iron Bowl Army, those rabble gradually gained some appearance.
Already.
However, the military commanders on the front line, starting from General Rostock and below, it seems that most of the senior generals of the Storm Legion are dismissive of these mercenaries from all over the mainland. Longbottom has repeatedly requested war and cannot allow these people to stay in the military camp.
It was a waste of food. However, the top management of the Storm Legion did not reply. It was obvious that they did not believe in the fighting power of such a ragtag group of people.
The fat man was extremely bored and idle on the front line, and finally ran to General Andre. Relying on his friendship and reputation in the northwest, he forcibly obtained the establishment of a "reconnaissance battalion" from General Andre.
The boss put this mercenary on the air force's signboard. "So as not to suffer from the arrogance of the generals of the Storm Legion" were the fat man's original words.
General Andre couldn't save his face, so he could only agree to the fat man's request with a grimace. In the end, the fat man shamelessly took a fleet of airships from his hands.
As a result, the daring Longbottom actually took advantage of the airship to set off with five hundred elites carefully selected from his subordinates. Without reporting anything to the commander on the front line, this guy privately took the people with him on the airship.
First, he went east. Then he went north, making a roundabout way. He bypassed the main fortress in the north, and went all the way north from the eastern fortress. Finally, he used an airship to land 500 of his men in the enemy-occupied area in the north!
This incident made Du Wei laugh and cry when he saw it afterwards. This daring fat man actually carried out the first airborne operation behind enemy lines that was of epoch-making significance in the military history of Roland Continent?!
Of course, the fat man didn't know that he had accidentally turned all of his own people into "airborne troops" during his misdeeds, but he led these 500 people to start a sweep in the occupied area of ​​​​the guilty people.
Most of these five hundred mercenaries were from previous smuggling groups or mercenary groups. When it came to martial arts skills, each of them was at least a low-level warrior, and many had the strength of an intermediate warrior.
The fat man took these 500 people and divided them into several teams. Previously, everyone had stipulated a unified time and place for the gathering. They agreed on the time with the airship team. At that time, they would evacuate to the meeting place and board the airship to retreat...
After finishing this, Fatty gave the order, and these people spread out like a nest of rats in the enemy-occupied area and wreaked havoc.
Such a group of people, if it comes to frontal combat on the battlefield, and a frontal charge, they are definitely no match for the regular army. But if it is such a small group of elites who rush into battle, they are definitely a good hand. If nothing else,
His ability to survive in the wild is absolutely formidable. Many people have ventured into places like the frozen forest and southern swamps.
As for digging holes, ambushes, and setting up traps for sneak attacks, there is no more discussion.
In just five days, these "surprise soldiers" knocked out a small group of Orc wolf cavalry behind enemy lines, as well as many Orc baggage teams scattered to collect food and supplies. The results can be said to be quite impressive.
In Fatty's words, since we have run into enemy-occupied areas, we cannot use the methods of the regular army. Instead, we must treat our group as bandits, as...a bandit group! As a smuggling group!!
Fatty's combat strategy is even more simple and essential. It can be summed up in just eight words: swarm up and disperse with a blast!
This method of combat is more in line with the appetite of those mercenaries: many of these people originally had gang-related backgrounds. Whether they were mercenaries or smuggling groups, they were all good at lurking and interacting with regular troops.
Fight guerrilla territory.
As a result, such a small group of locusts wandered around the area occupied by the sinners for three full days and made several big deals. Only after the third day did the sinners discover the existence of such a group of enemies and sent several groups of wolves.
The cavalry went to try to wipe out these "bandit soldiers". As a result, Fatty and a group of old mercenaries who had been living in the frozen forest all year round took these wolf cavalry around in several circles in the north, during which they had sporadic small-scale encounters with the opponent.
They fought twice, setting up sieges, ambushes, digging holes, setting up traps, dividing their troops, and making disguises. It took another four days. The Wolf Cavalry finally found out what was going on.
Definite traces of humans.
But at this time, Fatty and several other groups had successfully completed the detour and successfully returned to the main base at the preset meeting point. They were preparing for a successful retreat.
If the matter ends here, then Fatty's airborne harassment operation behind enemy lines can definitely be said to be a successful example, and with its epoch-making significance as the first time in mainland China, it is enough to be included in military history.
Compile information and write a history book for future generations of military academies to study and study.
However, just when the final escape was about to succeed, Fatty was surrounded by enemies.
This time, the elves are dispatched!
Facing several groups of flying magic archers and heavy and slow-flying airships from the elves, it was absolutely impossible to escape. Even the fat man sighed helplessly, thinking that this time his end was coming. He even made preparations.
Fighting to the death, he even uttered such bold words as "Kill one to get enough money, kill two to earn one".
As a result, the winged elves surrounded these people but did not attack. Instead, after everyone waited in panic for a long time, the other party actually sent a negotiator.
Fatty originally thought that the other party was trying to force his side to surrender, but he was still very stubborn and prepared to refuse boldly. But who knew, the other party had no intention of surrendering at all.
The elf sent to deliver the message had a private conversation with the fat man and left a message:
"This time, I am here on the order of the Elf King. My king has something to say. I have heard for a long time that General Longbottom is the strongest general in the West of the Tulip Dukes. This time, I will treat it as a favor from my king to the Tulip family. Please give General Longbottom this time."
After returning home, I must convey my king’s good intentions to the Duke, so we can meet again later!”
The fat man was confused when he said this, but after the other party conveyed the message, with an order, the groups of elves flew away, and actually let the fat man and his gang retreat safely!
Everyone who originally thought they were dead this time all looked like they were surviving a disaster, and everyone was filled with doubts. But after all, the enemy had withdrawn, and there were no longer those flying in the sky around.
There were so many elven archers... everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After the fat man came back, the first thing he did was to order everyone who went out to fight this time to return to the military camp. At the same time, he issued a hush-hush order to prevent this matter from being leaked, and a grounding order to prevent anyone from entering or exiting the military camp at will.
Then, the fat man wrote a secret letter in his own hand, describing what happened, and asked a cavalryman from the Tulip family to quickly send it back to the imperial capital to Du Wei.
After Du Wei read the letter, he was naturally filled with doubts!
The Elf King Luoxue, the guy who once forced him to go to heaven and have no way to go to earth, actually sold himself a huge favor this time! If the fat man Longbottom dies, it will definitely be a huge favor to Du Wei
Apart from Fatty, Du Wei could not find any strong generals under his command.
What does the Elf King's sentence "We meet in the mountains and rivers" mean? Now the two sides are fighting to the death, and there is absolutely no room for relaxation. At this time, the Elf King Luoxue is open to the enemy...what does it mean?
Showing kindness to yourself? What is the purpose of doing this?!
Du Wei was thinking about the contents of the two letters. At this time, he heard intermittently the regent Prince Chen, who was standing in front of the throne on the high platform, reading the letter from the front in his exaggerated tone.
Here comes the "good news".
Obviously, this "good news" was carefully concocted by the frontline commander, General Rostock.
This old general has deep qualifications and has held heavy troops for many years. He has been in charge of the northern part of the empire. However, in addition to his great influence in the army, he can sit in such a high position for many years without falling. If he is a purely simple-minded soldier,
That is absolutely impossible to do.
Rostock is also very familiar with the various rules of the political arena.
The old commander-in-chief deeply understood that this was the first year of the war. At the end of the year, according to the usual practice, it was natural to present some good gifts to the imperial capital to make the big bosses happy, so that the officialdom could protect itself.
But when you are on the front line, you have to pay attention to what kind of gifts you can give to make the big bosses in the imperial capital happy.
Giving generous gifts of money? You are the commander-in-chief of the front line. Do you want to give others a reason to accuse you of embezzling military pay?
Now that this battle has been going on for so long, as the new year approaches, what gift can be more pleasing to the king and the big bosses in the imperial capital than a "big victory"?
On such a festive day, a good news is the icing on the cake.
"Five days ago, our 4th Cavalry Division of the Storm Legion had a total of 6,000 soldiers, and 3,000 knights of the Holy Knights of the Church of Light assisted in the battle. Our army opened the city and fought with the enemy in the plains. In this battle, we were defeated.
The enemy charged six times, killed more than 3,000 enemies, and captured two enemy leaders. After interrogation, it was verified that they were middle-level officers of the emperor. The enemy prisoners were very well defended, and they died on a hunger strike for three days...A list of the soldiers who made meritorious service in this battle is also attached.
List of knights of the Holy Knights who have made great contributions to the battlefield, congratulations to our empire!!"
