Chapter 215 The messenger
While waiting for the baggage unit, Ye Junwen was also reorganizing the troops. Since Hejar resigned, the First Legion and the Second Legion both belonged to Ye Junwen, so the troops needed to be remanaged. For this reason, Ye Junwen also set up two deputy commanders to manage the two armies, one of which was Edron, who was chosen by Ye Junwen himself, and the other was Hejar's deputy general Sethman.
Although there are two deputy generals, Ye Junwen has integrated the troops to a certain extent to facilitate his own operation. Otherwise, it would be difficult to grasp the entire troops in half. However, considering the current situation, the troops have not yet fully merged, which will take time, and we will talk about it after it has stabilized.
In addition, Ye Junwen also expanded the number of gun troops. The basis was still Ted's troops, but some troops were dispatched from other troops, and now they have expanded to a 2,500-man unit. They have also divided the infantry team and artillery team a little bit.
Yes, Ye Junwen already has artillery troops now, but the number of artillery is very small, with only 4 cannons, and the caliber is not unified. Because Ye Junwen did not specify when he bought it, these are all the more trades. However, there are no opponents in this thing now, after all, there are no opponents, so it is still enough to be responsible for firepower suppression.
There are also artillery in other worlds, and they even appeared earlier than muskets. They are also weapons invented and made by dwarves, but Ye Junwen, the cannon here, said it is not worthy of being called artillery at all, it can only be said to be a big one. Have you ever seen artillery with a range of less than 500 meters? The cannons here are urinary. Although the cannons brought by Ye Junwen are eliminated, their range is more than 10 kilometers, which is not something on the same level at all.
Although the artillery unit has only 4 guns, the staff is equipped with 300 people. This is also for future development. Because during this transaction, Ye Junwen also designated the other party to enter the artillery. It will probably be more when coming next time, so that everyone can take turns to get familiar with it and fire the artillery, so that the troops will be trained in the future.
Others have rifles, and this time they are mainly equipped with the ak47 series rifles. This thing is really classic. And because the bullets are the same, they can be used in conjunction with previous equipment, so there is no contradiction.
The integration and refinement of the troops did not encounter any trouble, but they encountered some problems with the baggage, and their food began to call the police. Yes, although they had replenished in the city before, the number of troops was too large. After absorbing the troops of the Fifth Army, the number was almost 200,000. Such a huge army could not operate without the support of the state's finance, and they did not have the supply of the state finance, and the food was snatched by themselves.
Although they robbed a lot, they were still not enough. According to the logistics staff, their food will be bottomed out within ten days, which means they will have to capture the main city within ten days, otherwise they will face the problem of starvation to death.
Generally speaking, it is almost impossible to capture the main city within ten days. Look at the rebel troops, the number of people before was similar to theirs. After besieging the main city for so long, they still haven't captured it. In the end, they rely on the opponent to open the city gate to capture the city. Fighting head-on, even if you have several times more troops than the opponent, it is impossible to capture it in a short time. This city is indeed too solid.
However, Ye Junwen felt that there was no problem. After all, he used modern weapons and could capture them in ten days. If it really doesn't work, Ye Junwen still had a working dragon, so he asked it to open the door. Of course, he didn't plan to do this from the beginning. Although the success rate of this method is probably quite high, he still has to train troops.
Yes, letting your troops appear is mainly to let them practice their skills. After all, equipment is one thing, and whether it will be used is another matter. Although these troops are usually training, they may not work if they really fight. Let them really fight. On the other hand, letting these arms appear is not to advertise. If this depends on dragons to solve the problem, who knows whether their weapons are useful.
In short, Ye Junwen spent another day in the integration of the troops, which made the other generals anxious about Ye Junwen. Isn’t this too much? Although there is no need to rescue the royal family now, you can burn more food one day after you go one day later, and give the opponent more time to prepare for defense. You can’t delay this.
Fortunately, the next day, Ye Junwen commanded the troops to set off. They were not far from the main city because of the rush to march. When it was almost evening that afternoon, they also arrived near the main city. However, when there were still more than ten miles, Ye Junwen ordered the camping, which made the generals very strange.
It is true that if you are afraid of being attacked by someone at night, it is normal to camp a little further away. However, now they are not afraid of sneak attacks. The opponent's troops are already small and there are many people. Are you afraid of sneak attacks and there will be no end to take turns to stand guard? Besides, everyone thinks that the people inside will not come out to attack. This person must be on the city, so why should he come out to die?
Although strange, Ye Junwen is now the only leader of this army, so of course what he said is an order, and everyone must obey it. In addition, Ye Junwen's previous performance also shows that the other party knows more than them and fights much better than them, so it's right for you to think that's the accident. I guess Ye Junwen's plan is that.
Ye Junwen and the others had a good rest that night. As expected, the people in the city did not come out to attack. They probably wondered why these people camped out so far. This was too careful. It was impossible to attack at this distance.
It was soon the next morning, and Ye Junwen's troops started to prepare early in the morning. Today was obviously the first day of siege. All the soldiers were given sufficient rest. They were very energetic and their morale was also maintained. Just as the soldiers were waiting for Ye Junwen's order to start attacking, Ye Junwen met a relatively unexpected person.
"Empress?" Ye Junwen asked a little strangely.
"Yes, Marshal (Ye Junwen's title has now become Marshal, and was voted by the new queen Bevli)." the soldier replied.
"I haven't seen you, I'll take it out and chop it." Ye Junwen said with a wave of his hand.
"But the marshal, they are the messengers of the elves..." the soldier said.
"Ha? Elf Clan?" Ye Junwen was a little stunned. If he was the envoy of Duke Seleto, he wouldn't bother to see him. He was going to start fighting and there was something else to say. Anyway, he didn't want to say anything to the other party. But Ye Junwen was a little curious about the elves. First of all, he had never seen the people of the elves and was a little curious about them. Secondly, why the other party wanted to participate in this matter, he was also very curious.
"Then bring it up and have a look." Ye Junwen said.
Soon, the soldiers came in with two people. Ye Junwen looked at each other. What disappointed Ye Junwen was that these two elves were both men. Of course, Ye Junwen could not tell from his face, because the other party was so slim. You could not tell from his face at all. Ye Junwen could not tell from his chest.
These two elves are similar to what they saw in previous novels and online games. They are tall and thin, pale skin, and they are both very handsome, and they can even be said to be a little beautiful. They are obviously two men, Ye Junwen thinks they are beautiful, and they don’t know what they are making trouble. In addition to these, of course, there are also iconic long ears, and these long ears are much longer than Ye Junwen imagined. Ye Junwen is estimated to be about 20 cm long.
"I have met Duke Kalcha." Ye Junwen, whom the other party directly called him, was the Duke, or the title given by the previous emperor.
"Elf clan? What's the purpose of coming here?" Ye Junwen asked.
"We want the Duke to give up the siege." One of the elves stepped forward and said.
"Oh? Are you?" Ye Junwen asked.
"My name is Antona, and I am the Minister of Tedalo," Antona said.
Tedalo is a kingdom established by the elves. Ye Junwen has heard of this before. The minister, that is, he was the envoy sent to the Holy Wilan Empire.
"Are you talking to Duke Seleto?" Ye Junwen asked, "Why do the elves participate in the civil war between the human race?"
"Although it is a civil war between the human race, we, Tedalo and the Principality of St. Willan, have a peace agreement, and we also hope that peace will be restored by you." Antona said.
"Haha." Ye Junwen smiled, "Restore peace? If I destroy Duke Seleto, will peace be restored? Besides, why do we recognize the peace agreement signed by the Duchy of Saint-Willand and you? We don't even recognize the royal family, but we still recognize the peace agreement signed by him?"
"You mean you don't want to maintain a peaceful relationship with our TEDALO Kingdom?" Antona said here with a little annoyed.
"Yes." Ye Junwen nodded directly, "So what? I know you are lobbyists sent by Duke Seleto, so there is no need to talk to you well at all. There is no need to go around in circles. I don't agree with how you are going to come? Send troops to interfere, right? Come on, I'll wait for you, I'll just say that, as long as I come to power, I will declare war with you Tedalo, what can you do?"
"You..." Antona was angry when she heard such words. But as soon as she was about to say something, she was stopped by the person behind her.
"Wait, Antona." The other party spoke, and what surprised Ye Junwen was that the other party's voice was actually a female voice.
