What happened next made the guard captain turn a blind eye even more numbly. Because the patrol team under the city wall also disappeared, only a dozen ownerless mounts and pack animals were left. At this moment, he also
Finally, I firmly believe that the little princess’s vision is extremely correct and wise.
This young general is likely to come from some ancient and noble bloodline on the other side of the continent; therefore, even if he is in a foreign land, he will receive the blessing and guidance of the gods. After the failure of the wedding mission, this will not be the best for the little princess he serves.
It is undoubtedly the best way out.
The subsequent escape was as smooth sailing as the guard captain expected. Even if they encountered some suspected patrols or Ranger cavalry on the road, they soon encountered force majeure while trying to catch up.
And the man flipped on his back and disappeared.
Therefore, after running for more than half an hour, which was almost extremely long but short, the circular dome of the manor where the temporary military camp was located in the distance was already clearly visible. And during this invisible spiritual communication on horseback, Jiang Tian also knew
Learned about Paulina's experience of coming to the overseas provinces.
In other words, the situation in the previous overseas provinces and the local representatives who came to ask for help were even worse. At least they falsely concealed more information about local factions and forces. This led to North Africa
The corps encountered its first battle before landing.
They were pirate gangs transformed on the spot by the remnants of the rebellious Royal Navy. They actually tried to rob and attack these transport ships. As a result, during the continuous gang-hopping war after approaching, these armed transport ships full of soldiers were attacked instead.
Suppressed and captured by numerical superiority.
Immediately afterwards, whenever the North African Corps landed at Kasbar Port, they saw a provincial city under siege and a large number of ships jammed in the port area. Therefore, the first dozen or so transport ships to arrive,
They also had to put down small boats near the shore to let some soldiers go ashore first.
After gathering the strength and equipment of about a regiment, they launched a tentative attack on the unknown armed forces besieging the city. As a result, these seemingly large numbers of besiegers were simply a mob; no perimeter arrangements were made.
There are no police patrols either.
As a result, the Free Army soldiers rushed to the splendid tent that was suspected to be the headquarters; then their morale was shattered and they dispersed without hesitation. After rescuing this provincial city in Central Algiers, the wave
Only then did Lina realize how bad the situation in the overseas provinces was now.
Except for a few coastal cities with ports, most cities in coastal areas have lost contact. Under the influence of internal and external factors, numerous armed forces of various colors have emerged in the provinces. Those who besieged this port city are
The most powerful force among them.
It is said that the leader was an aristocratic officer who had fled from the country. He successfully connected and bewitched the remaining officers and non-commissioned officers of the local garrison, and seized the nearby weapons depot and military fort, resolutely raising a royalist uprising.
flag, and the royal guards of the overseas provinces.
However, the locals were not very interested in the slogan of defending the royal family. Therefore, this team, which included many old officers and sergeants, could only strengthen its strength by constantly robbing places and passing people. In the end, they gathered nearly
Twenty thousand people surrounded the provincial capital for more than a month.
Therefore, after a brief rest and replenishment, Polina and the North African Corps immediately plunged into frequent and fierce battles. In addition to fighting large-scale rebels, they also had to deal with various flags and
Armed from under the head, where weeds are growing.
She also had to wipe out and eliminate the bandits and horse thieves who were wandering on the road. Therefore, in addition to relying on relatively sophisticated equipment, sufficient supplies, and well-trained soldiers, she also specially pardoned those locals who participated in the rebellion but were captured.
Soldiers, make them serve again.
In the name of the North African Corps of the Free Army, it was announced that the mixed-race soldiers in the cities in the overseas provinces who had been disarmed and circled and auxiliary troops would be lifted from their original origin restrictions; they would be allowed to rejoin the army and obtain regular status.
salary and promotion opportunities.
Therefore, just such a decisive order from Paulina suddenly caused the North African Corps to suddenly expand by one and a half times the number of new troops; many local mixed-race young men also joined the army after hearing the news brought back by their fellow villagers or relatives.
Come and join us with your own weapons and mounts.
As a result, with the support of these local troops who came to join them in a steady stream, the North African Corps set out from the Central Province of Algiers and fought all the way to Western Algiers;
Province of Tunisia; finally transferred back to East Algiers.
For more than half a year, the North African Corps fought almost every day in the overseas provinces, either in new battles or on the way to the next battlefield; and in the continuous and frequent battles, the number of overseas Corps was almost reduced.
Halfway through, some company soldiers have been replaced several times.
But fortunately, she is not fighting alone; the ports along the coast also provide a steady stream of support from the kingdom on the other side in terms of soldiers, food and equipment, and materials; it also allows the North African Corps to expand and now has thirty combat troops.
Company, a behemoth of more than forty auxiliary companies.
But it was not until the previous month that they captured the last small group of fleeing remnants of the old aristocratic armed forces/guards in the mountains south of the Atlas Mountains. But from these former officers, Paulina also learned
received an unexpected news; then he led an army to come here.
Because someone saw a young man who looked exactly like Paulina at the camel market near the city of Bel-Air; and he rejected the recruitment and wooing of these royalists with contempt and disdain, and defeated many of them.
After leaving with his companions, he left with a group of armed men.
This was also the first time she had received definite information about her brother, but she also took into account her own responsibilities and the oath she had sworn to Jiang Tian. Therefore, after the investigators sent earlier lost contact one after another, she made up her mind and determined to investigate.
The team was led here based on local conditions.
I thought it was a temporary armed parade, but unexpectedly got involved in the hidden riots in the local area. As they communicated mentally, Paulina drove the mount with all her strength and rushed into the disturbed military camp in the distance.
, she saw her immediately giving orders on horseback: "Gendarme Squadron and Guard Squadron! Arrest immediately the representatives from the Fashar, Thetis and Muga tribes; they secretly colluded with our enemies and provided wrong intelligence.
, to lead everyone into the trap of destruction.”
"Order the peripheral auxiliary companies to immediately put down all work and repair and build fortifications on the spot;" "Gather all the locals who serve as guides and translators in each company, disarm and strictly monitor them. Once there is any change, they will be
Killed on the spot."
"The 3rd Cavalry Brigade, launch a search toward the northwest desert, prepare to intercept and capture any enemy scouts and rangers that may appear!" "The 67th Artillery Squadron, launch a position in the reeds along the southeast road, and prepare for the attack.
Good preparation for covering shooting..."
"The 19th Grenadier Brigade, prepare incendiary materials and gunpowder bombs..." "The 7th Cavalry Brigade, the 29th, 31st, and 45th Strike Brigades, the 47th, and the 65th Lancers
Brigade; form an attack formation toward the east road..."
"Sir..." After arranging everything, Polina cautiously conveyed to Jiang Tian floating next to her: "That's all I can do; this time, I only want to track down my brother's whereabouts.
Bringing three combat companies and five auxiliary companies, totaling 2,300 men."
"Don't worry, you have done quite well. Next, as long as you can resolutely implement my instructions, these soldiers alone will be enough for the time being." Jiang Tian also responded and comforted her in his mind: "What's more, I
There are other measures just in case..."
The temporary military camp was fully mobilized. It didn't take long for the first rocket to correct the wind direction and impact point to be fired at the swamp area with long reeds on the roadside in the distance. Then the grenadier brigade deployed,
Hale rockets carrying incendiary materials were launched one after another.
Among the flying curved smoke pillars, these were originally used as portable siege equipment; as long as a simple guide rail or even a slope, the launched Hale rocket can be quickly ignited; amidst the continuous movement of waterbirds flying in fright
, one after another bombarded the reeds.
Then it turned into pieces of explosive flames; and under the dry and hot wind from the direction of the desert, it quickly spread and spread. For a while, I saw only the scorching fireworks soaring into the sky, scorching the birds circling in the sky.
, waterfowl, almost fell down one after another;
Immediately, it turned into faint wails and exclamations that were both tragic and tragic; among the large burning fires, the reeds were violently shaking and turning; groups after groups of gray-headed or smoky-looking armed men
People stumbled and ran away from it;
Then, they threw themselves down in the puddles and ditches outside the reed swamps with the flames and smoke traces burning on their bodies. Some people couldn't stand up after falling down, while others hurriedly took off their clothes.
Their clothes were burned to pieces and their clothes were in tatters, and they all rushed onto the road with their hearts still full.
However, what greeted them at this time was not the helping hand extended by the Free Army; it was the fire cannons and crossbows fired in front of them; there were also the flashing clumps of spears and swords that advanced to hit them. In the blink of an eye, they were ambushed in the swamp.
The unknown ambush fell apart without resistance.
Immediately afterwards, the cavalry brigade responsible for conducting searches in the far northwest also sounded the alarm for a large-scale enemy attack...
