Chapter 17 Food(1/3)
Major Ronald was not surprised at all when he received the news that the "Montanet gang" occupied Gervodan.
On the contrary, Captain Epel was almost crazy: "What the hell does he want to do? Just because of his few men, he still wants to keep Gervodan?"
The other centurions looked nice.
"We need supplies." Ronald bit his pipe, but the bowl was empty.
In order to ensure surprise, Ronald's two brigades attacked lightly and did not carry any supplies except for seven days of dry food.
Only by reducing the load as much as possible can you march quickly.
They didn't even have a tent, and even Ronald slept in a cloak at night.
The Major was already very satisfied with his centurions to be able to bring the entire army from Revodan to Wolf Town.
But there is no need for the enemy to take action. A heavy rain can completely destroy the morale of these recruits.
"No matter how difficult we are, can there be Montagne? He is not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Ronald suddenly laughed: "Continue to detect Revodan! The large army will go to Xiaoshi Town to replenish supplies first. Then go to Saint-Corres Town.
If Revodan has the opportunity to take advantage of, we will take Revodan directly. Otherwise, we will take the detour to Wangqiao Town and go to Hammer Fort!"
Hammer Fort was originally a fortress located north of Revodand, but later gradually developed into a town of more than fifty households.
This town has always been the gateway to Revodan, controlling the main entrance and exit passages of Tiefeng County.
"Captain Epel."
"exist!"
Ronald ordered heavily: "Take your Century Team to Hammer Fort first. Try to give Epel the dry food on your hands as even as possible."
"Yes!" The centurions were excited.
"Let's go! Let's go to Xiaoshi Town!" Ronald laughed: "I want to see who the Tiefeng County is."
...
Later, Pierre also returned to Wolftown.
Winters is helping Changsheng find milk in the stable - Changsheng is the first birth, and Botayun not only does not have enough milk, but also does not want to carry a horse.
He was not surprised at all when he heard the message brought back by Pierre, and just asked, "Have they explained the reason to you?"
"No." Pierre rode a horse all day and night, and people were almost unable to stand: "But both Mr. A and Mr. B support the backup plan."
Although Paratu and Venetta were already blushing, Paratu was hard to describe.
But Venetta did not officially intervene in the Paratu Civil War after all. In order to keep Moritz and Juan's identity as secret as possible, Winters ordered to be commensurate with Mr. A and Mr. B.
"I get it." Winters held Changsheng's little head with both hands and nodded to Pierre: "Go and rest, leave the rest to me."
Pierre raised his hand to salute and staggered away from the stable.
Changsheng ate milk again, and he sucked ** desperately.
Eating and growing up is his instinct.
Conversely, if he doesn't do this, he will die.
This is true for Eternity, and so is Winters' faction.
Seeing that Botayun no longer resisted as much as before, Winters slowly let go of his hands.
Changsheng sucked his milk "bang" with a "bang".
The two combat plans have their own advantages and disadvantages. Of course Revodan is good, and it is better to occupy a city.
But what should I do if I can't hold on?
How would General Adams, the ruler of the Xinkendi Province, react?
Although the Xinkendi Legion is now restrained by Red Rose and Blue Rose, how could they tolerate the fall of a county?
With the strength of the troops in your hands, can you block the thunder attack from Fengshi City?
Plan A: gradually control the villages and towns and turn Vordan into an isolated island on land.
That was Winters' preferred strategy, and it was also the reason why he insisted on putting [Occupy Revodan] in the backup plan.
Cities and villages depend on each other, but in the end, cities need more villages.
The city needs materials and manpower input. Once Revodan becomes an isolated city, she will destroy herself without any attack.
But the plan has not changed quickly after all.
War Church Winters said: Success or failure sometimes depends on how perfect the plan is, but on whether the execution is firm enough.
Moritz and Juan were intellectually sound, and their judgments must be considered by them, and Winters trusted them.
Since you have chosen the route, just go on.
"No matter what is ahead, there will always be a solution." Winters rubbed Changsheng's soft mane and thought to himself.
...
The wolf town, which was once again affected by war, once again turned into scorched earth.
In the ruins, the soldiers were ready to go.
All the soldiers whom Winters stayed in Wolf Town were cavalry, including him, with a total of eighteen horses, and everyone had two horses or even three horses.
Anna, Scarlett, Ellen, Catherine and other ladies all came to see you off in the town center.
Some people living nearby Lang Town also came spontaneously to boost their momentum. There were even three wealthy self-cultivated farmers riding horses and carrying javelins to take the initiative to help.
Bud, Andre and Mason were not there because they had rushed to Revodan as soon as possible.
"Sorry." Winters felt guilty towards Anna.
In a blink of an eye, it was separation again.
Anna held Winters' hand tightly.
That night, she also hid in the forest with the people of Wolf Town, witnessing people's fear and powerlessness towards military disasters, witnessing the devour of Wolf Town by the sky, and witnessing the best and worst parts of human nature.
She hugged Winters tightly, put her toes on her lover's ear and said, "Go. These wooden houses, churches, they did not hurt anyone, they destroyed it, they should not do it, and they have no right to do it.
Do it. Don't worry about me, don't worry about others, we can take good care of ourselves."
After saying that, Anna kissed Winters on the cheek and gently pushed Winters away.
Winters looked at Anna at last, as if he wanted to put her in his eyes at this moment.
Then, he resolutely let go of Anna's hand.
"Please rest assured, I will take good care of the immortality." Scarlett whispered.
Mrs. Mitchell held Scarlett and nodded slightly to Winters.
In this situation, Catherine is no longer the same as before. She just said to Winters: "You have to live, don't leave my sister alone... Don't forget that you still owe my family a thousand Ducats.
”
Winters thanked the Wolf Town people who came to see him off one by one, and finally walked to Pierre: "I'll leave Wolf Town to you."
"Please rest assured." Pierre's face was still pale, and he raised his hand to salute.
Winters nodded and stepped on his horse.
His eyes swept little by little over the blacksmith's workshop, sawmill and church that had been burned to ashes.
"One day, one day... one day we will rebuild all this." Winters looked into the eyes of his soldiers, and everyone could clearly hear his cold but firm voice.
Winters took the blood, bullet marks and scorched flags from Heinrich: "But now, follow me and regain the right to rebuild the home!"
He tugged the reins and rushed to the battlefield.
The soldiers followed him without hesitation.
...
...
Major Ronald's retreat was extremely difficult.
In Hei Shui Town, he was unable to obtain enough supplies, nor in Xiaoshi Town.
Although Heishui Town and Xiaoshi Town have not been evacuated, hiding the grain has become a habit for farmers.
Before the soldiers entered the village, they had already run away without a trace.
Even if some farmers didn't escape, they would still be "no", "I don't know", "We are also hungry! Sir."
Looking at the farmers' "simple and honest" faces, Ronald ordered them to speak with a saber.
The snow-clear steel knife was placed around his neck, and the farmer who insisted that there was no food immediately told the location of the grain cellar.
But there are also farmers who are very stubborn, so hard that Major Ronald can't help but suspect that the other party really has no food.
"No matter whether he has it or not, just kill it if he doesn't explain it!" Second Lieutenant Adam's idea was simple and crude: "You have to show the outcome for other farmers. Otherwise, they will all learn something!"
Major Ronald remained silent.
"Sir, when is this? Are you still struggling with the soldiers or bandits?" Seeing that the major did not respond, Lieutenant Adam gritted his teeth and said, "Montanet entered Revodan. We are not bandits, but bandits too! I'll do this matter
