"Report."
A scout whose whole body was covered with bark and grass roots ran over quickly. His outfit showed that he had just come back from a mountainous area with lush forests. When this scout came to Cindy who was sitting on a marching chair and eating, Kan In front of Commander Terry, he immediately knelt on the ground with one leg and said while breathing heavily: "Report to the Commander, the military situation ahead."
As Senat's subordinate, commanding 5,000 infantrymen stationed on the southwest border of Cindy, Commander Cantelli did not put down the barbecue in his hands after hearing the scout's report. He even continued to chew in his mouth. He just snorted with his nose to express his I heard,
The scout obviously knew the temper of his commander. He would never allow others to disturb him while he was eating. Although he was in the army now, if he violated his taboos, he would definitely be the first to do whatever was most dangerous in the future. Do it alone,
After finally waiting for Cindy, Commander Cantelli finished chewing the barbecue in his hand, threw the bone on the ground, and wiped his greasy hands on his clothes. The scout then whispered: "The vanguard of our army has already arrived. Arriving in the Valo Mountains, the scouts encountered enemy scouts and lost more than twenty people.”
Cindy, Commander Cantelli didn't ask any questions. He raised his fingers at the guards beside him, and two people immediately came over and slowly unfolded a sheepskin map of the Valo Mountains for him, and Cindy , Commander Cantelli said very dissatisfied: "Idiot, how can you see it is so dark, why don't you light a few more torches."
After the four torches illuminated the sheepskin map, Cindy, Commander Cantelli, slowly moved his eyes over. He only glanced at it for a few times before he became very impatient and kneeled down. The scout on the side said: "Why are you still dying there? Come here and point it out to me."
The scout crawled to Commander Cindy Cantelli's side. After carefully identifying the map, he pointed out the locations of the enemy and ourselves. Cindy Cantelli frowned because He discovered that the location of the Moon Moon City Magic Exchange Group was actually not on both sides of the road, but had deliberately detoured several kilometers and was stationed on a peak called "Valen".
This strange phenomenon made Cindy, the commander of Cantelli, very puzzled. He stood up, hooked it with his hand, called all the subordinates standing aside, and then asked them: "It's strange, although the Wallen Peak is relatively high, , but there is only one passage up and down the mountain, how could they choose to rest in such a deserted place? This obviously provides us with enough time to encircle them."
"Lord Commander." A subordinate spoke out his suggestion: "We received the order from the Lord Lord to delay the opponent's advance and buy time for the large forces to assemble. Now that they are doing this, isn't it just what we want?"
"Hmph, you coward." Another subordinate said: "When the large army comes, we will probably be responsible for maintaining the encirclement. There is no military merit. We might as well kill them directly at night. The opponent only has 300 people, and we There are nearly 5,000 people.”
"How can this be done? Not to mention the military order of the lord, our 5,000 troops are not gathered together at all now. They are deployed in an area of 30 kilometers. Now, the lord can only fight with 1,000 soldiers. That’s all, not to mention that the opponent has magicians, and we don’t have any siege equipment, so we will suffer a lot if we attack in a hurry.”
“If you don’t take risks, how can you get rewards?”
"But attacking blindly is simply a recipe for death."
"Shut up." Cindy, Cantelli didn't want to hear her men arguing anymore, so she shouted directly: "Now I want you to discuss and come up with countermeasures, not to quarrel. Okay, where are the various departments of our army now?" ”
"Commander, please see that 1,000 of our troops have occupied the passage that the enemy must pass through on their way north. According to your instructions, they will set up positions on the spot to resolutely prevent the enemy from escaping towards the imperial capital. There are 500 more people who have also arrived here. , it should be possible to block their way back to Moon Moon City in about an hour."
"Then, what is the enemy's reaction?" Cindy, Commander Cantelli thought for a moment, then asked, "Are you ready to break out?"
"Lord Commander, the enemy troops are still stationed on Wallen Mountain. They don't seem to have any intention of breaking out. Moreover, their scouts have shrunk on a large scale after encountering our scouts. Now they seem to be just holding on to the only passage up the mountain. It’s so dark and time is tight, we can only detect so much.”
"Useless trash." Cindy, Cantelli cursed a few times, then hooked his hand and asked the soldier holding the map to come closer. He personally held a torch and almost put his head on the map. After he carefully looked at the positions of the enemy and ourselves marked on the map several times, he found that the 4,500 infantry he brought out this time had almost reached the predetermined position according to the original plan, but the opponent still put up a defensive posture.
Cindy, Commander Cantelli is starting to feel restless. Under normal circumstances, in the army, if you become the commander of a unit and defend one place alone, you are almost done. At most, the station is more abundant and the troops under his command are more abundant. A little more, if you want to continue to be promoted, or even become a general commanding multiple armies, unless you have great military exploits,
Although Lord Senat announced his separation from the imperial capital, there has been no large-scale battle for such a long time. It is nothing more than spreading as far as possible in all directions, but the extent is very small. Cindy and Cantelli are stationed there. The location is basically near an inaccessible mountainous area. It is incomparable with the friendly forces stationed in the city. Every time Cindy and Cantelli go to the friendly forces to do things, they will hate it. Why should they hide in the mountains every time? He eats coarse grains every day and cannot even touch a woman.
Now after receiving Senat's order, Cindy and Cantelli knew that General Nelson would rush here personally to direct the entire battle, and this General Nelson is the most rigorous. I am afraid that he will not be able to get anything when he comes. Cindy Di, Cantelli has long heard that the magician is the richest creature on this continent except for the dragon. Now he has surrounded his opponent with more than ten times the superior force. It is absolutely impossible for Cindy and Cantelli not to want to take credit. ,
After repeated weighing, Cindy Cantelli made up his mind. Anyway, his two troops had blocked the opponent's rapid retreat, and Cindy Cantelli's 3,000 infantrymen were ten times the number of the opponent. It would be a pity if you don't take advantage of this opportunity. If you win a battle, it goes without saying that you have merit, but even if you fail, you will only lose some men. Then you can capture some farmers to make up the number. Anyway, Sir Senat's The elite troops will arrive tomorrow morning at most. It's a mountainous area all night, and our side is still blocking the opponent's main retreat channel. We are already in an invincible position. There is no reason not to give it a try.
Thinking of this, Cindy Cantelli said: "Send the order, our army will hurry up and surround the opponent on the Wallen Peak in the Valo Mountains within 2 hours." At this point, Cindy Cantelli paused. , looked at the subordinates around him, and found that most of them were looking at him expectantly, so he smiled and said, "I will personally lead the team up the mountain to hunt."
