In the camp, Commander Huben sat in the center of the camp with a worried look on his face. Below him, Deputy Commander Nuoqi, and all the captains also looked worried. Xiaomai stood aside and listened quietly to Deputy Commander Ouyang Shaohua's narration.
The Dark Alliance's 400,000-strong army attacked for three days and three nights. Commander Bowen was killed in battle, and there was no news about all the rescue teams sent by Guangwu City for many days.
This shows that the Alliance of Darkness has made full preparations for this operation. Now that Guangwu City has fallen, the Southern Territory is exposed to the butcher's knife of the Alliance of Darkness like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
If Guangwu City loses, the Dark Alliance can continuously increase and replenish its troops, but it will be difficult to take it back. The Southern Territory will definitely become a purgatory.
"Vice Commander Shaohua, please take a good rest in the afternoon." Huben ordered.
"Yes, sir."
When Vice Commander Shaohua passed by and saw Wheat, he cupped his hands to express his gratitude.
Huben spoke again, "Nuoqi, what do you think?"
"Sir, Guangwu City has fallen, and we don't need to go to support it. The first task now is to gather the remaining soldiers, retreat to the capital of the Southern Territory, Secret City, and at the same time send a large number of scouts to closely monitor the movements of the Dark Alliance." Nuoqi responded.
"Just do what you are told! And Wang Maimai, this time you have saved people and killed the enemy, so I will promote you to the rank of captain and put you under the command of Deputy Commander Ouyang Shaohua to help gather the remaining soldiers."
"Yes, thank you for the promotion, sir."
The City of Light, the capital of the Alliance of Light, was very angry after receiving the news of the fall of Guangwu City. It immediately dispatched a group army of the Central Army and a legion formed by the local liberation forces, totaling 300,000 people, to the frontline Orwand Fortress.
The Alliance of Light sent such a huge force because they were really afraid that if the Orwand Fortress were to be breached again, the Alliance of Light would be doomed.
After receiving the mission, Xiaomai did not dare to neglect, and was busy receiving the soldiers who broke out of the encirclement.
In five days, Wheat received a total of more than 5,000 soldiers, including more than 200 red-coated soldiers.
The casualties were really tragic. There were only so few people left in the 180,000-strong garrison. It was really a general's achievement that caused thousands of bones to wither.
Commander Huben then organized the collected soldiers into the Pioneer Battalion of the Third Army, led by Deputy Commander Ouyang Shaohua, and Mai Mai as the commander of the Pioneer Battalion.
Wheat also felt that he had good luck, rising all the way, but he had not yet made a fortune. It was not easy to be an officer in this current situation, and his life could be in danger if he was not careful.
In the military camp, Deputy Commander Ouyang Shaohua was sitting on top and Mai was sitting on the bottom. The two were chatting happily.
"Brother, I really thank you for saving my life this time. I respect you for this bowl of wine." After saying this, Ouyang Shaohua drank the wine in one gulp.
"Sir, Deputy Commander, this is a matter within the humble position, but I respect you very much. In order to buy time for my colleagues to evacuate, I admire your courage and courage in leaving alone." Xiaomai complimented.
"Brothers are joking. Being a soldier and wearing a vest is our destination, and dying on the battlefield is the honor of a soldier. But this time too many of our comrades died."
"The entire Guangwu City is like purgatory, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Commander Bowen shed his last drop of blood without taking a step back."
"If it weren't for the retreat to protect these comrades outside, I wouldn't be willing to live." After saying that, he drank a bowl of wine.
"Sir, why do you think the Dark Alliance launched such a large-scale war this time? They don't have the ability to completely destroy us." Mai asked.
"It used to be small fights, but this time we launch such a big war, there must be a purpose." Regardless of this, come and have a drink with us.
The next day, according to reports from spies, the Dark Alliance took Guangwu City as its base and divided its troops into three groups to advance north.
The Central Route Army's 200,000 troops went straight to Mi's City, the capital of the Southern Territory, while the West's and East's 100,000 troops each swept through the cities around Mi's City.
Five days later, 300,000 troops from the Central Army entered the secret city, and Kaguya, the commander-in-chief of the Central Army, took full charge of the war in the southern region.
Order the 55,000 troops from Secret City led by Huben to go to the Eastern Front to contain the Dark Alliance's Eastern Front Army, and recruit soldiers along the way.
Li Feng, the commander of the Second Army of the Central Army, was ordered to lead 100,000 troops to the Western Front to meet the Western Front Army of the Dark Alliance.
The remaining 200,000 troops are left to defend the City of Secrets. The soldiers of Orwand Fortress must not move. Once the fortress is lost, the entire Alliance of Light will be unsafe to defend.
In the Eastern Front Army camp, Huben sat in the center with a sad look on his face. He was about to face an enemy twice as big as himself. Nuoqi, Shaohua and Maima stood below and said nothing.
Huben was the first to speak: "What good ideas do you have?"
"I don't have any good ideas," Nuoqi said helplessly.
Shaohua also shook his head helplessly.
Huben looked at Xiaomai.
"Commander Huben, Commander-in-Chief of the Central Army, Kaguya, only wants us to contain the Eastern Front Army of the Dark Alliance, not to stop us."
"We have no chance of winning in a head-to-head confrontation. Why don't you and Huben lead you to lead a large force to contain them head-on, and allocate 500 red-coated soldiers to fight guerrilla warfare under my command."
"Are you sure?" Huben asked.
"Sir, the information on the battlefield is constantly changing. There is no saying that you are not sure. I can only say that it is better to do your best than to eat it one bite at a time." Wheat Mian said without changing his expression.
"Okay, do you have any requirements?"
"I want 100 wind mages, 100 fire mages, 200 attack archers, 50 guardian warriors, and 50 immortals. The best levels are all above level 50. I also have Yan Ling as a detective. At the same time, so
The spoils of war belong to us.”
"Okay, I'll meet your request, but don't annihilate the entire army as soon as you arrive. I'll leave everyone to you before setting off tomorrow."
The next day, Commander Huben handed over all 501 people to Mai, and the Maiziying guerrillas were formally established.
As the captain, Xiaomai also has to say a few words to everyone as usual: "Dear comrades, our mission this time is to fight guerrilla warfare and sneak attack warfare. If we have the opportunity, we will attack. If we don't have the opportunity, we will stand by. Therefore, our risk level is very low."
.”
"And I have some good news for you. All the spoils I captured from Commander Huben belong to us."
Everyone in the audience couldn't help but get excited when they heard what Xiaomai said. Generally, the loot captured belongs to the alliance, but now that the loot belongs to us, they can't help but feel happy.
When Mai saw the olive branch, it was almost time to talk about the stakes.
"Comrades, please be quiet for a moment. What we are facing this time is the 100,000-strong army of the Dark Alliance. The life and death of the 50,000-strong army led by Commander Huben is closely related to ours. I hope that all my colleagues will work together and serve the alliance.
"Wheat said seriously.
The audience also responded with "yes" to Vector.
In this way, Xiaomai led a mighty team towards the Eastern Front, starting his first leading battle in his life.
