Chapter 362: Northern Expedition

Views:

Attacking Conley was Dane's final decision.

Of course, going to fight Kangli is not a fight to the death—his 5,000 people may be able to face many times the number of enemies in the field without giving up, but if they go to attack the city, they will still attack Xin Derui, who is led by Kangli's core army. Pull, that is still a bit difficult. Dane would not do such a reckless thing.

He hoped to be able to bring enough pressure to Conley in the south, forcing him to withdraw part of the army from the north. At the very least, he must prevent his northern army from fighting so recklessly.

If there is anyone who doesn't want to see Ou Ze's Beast Blood Fort really come to an end, then Dane is the only one besides Ou Ze himself.

This time he left Iron Spike Hill and quickly marched towards the target he wanted to attack, which was the Hekatim Army.

After leaving the city, after marching for half a day, when the whole army stopped to rest, Gnar found Dane.

"Boss, Janie wants to see you."

Dane waved his hand and said, "No."

He didn't need to meet, he knew what that woman Janice wanted to say.

After the woman was taught a lesson by him and almost died in his hands, she calmed down for a while. It's just that this kind of silence stopped when she knew that Dane was reorganizing the troops.

Of course she could see that Dane was deeply stimulated by her self-defeating performance and the defeat of the Northern Army Group, so much so that she wanted to reorganize her troops and start attacking northward.

To be honest, the overwhelming momentum of the Northern Army is of course a good thing for Conley. But not so good for Janice. Although she was let go by Dane when she was playing with fire before, she was still very worried that Dane would directly kill her if they were together.

Especially when several attempts to see Dane were blocked.

Janice, who was banned by spells, became more and more frightened when she thought about it, especially when she was taken out of the city by Dane in the army. Now she desperately wants to see Dane and find out what Dane is thinking.

So, after another request to meet Dane was rejected, she persisted in pestering Gnar and kept making requests, even if Gnar kept refusing, it was useless.

Eventually, Dane agrees to meet her.

"What do you want to say, just say it, I only give you three sentences."

"Dane, do you really want to attack Governor Conley in an all-round way, and are you determined to go with the doomed Ou Ze?"

This question, Janice asked barely enough to be 'sounding'. However, Dane didn't mean to answer at all, just looked at her with a smile on his face.

Although there was no response, Janice still read the meaning from his expression: You can ask such a stupid question

She wanted to urge her again, but when she thought of the "three sentences" that Dane said, she didn't dare to speak casually: Now she finally understands, with Dane's temperament, after saying three sentences, that is Three sentences, enough is enough, no matter what she said, she will definitely be driven away.

She adjusted her mind, but it was obvious that the expression on her face had become a little flustered.

"Dane, I don't think you need to do this. The Northern Ice Cave City has already fallen to the time of Governor Conley. Oze's army even stopped in the north and dared not move forward. The Northern Army has gathered fifty thousand troops. There are 30,000 people in the hands of the governor of Cinderella, plus Hekatim's army, how many troops do you and Oze have together? Don't make mistakes!"

Dane finally spoke: "According to what you said, you still have 70,000 soldiers? Who are you? I don't have exact information on how many people are in your Northern Army, but if you calculate it based on the information I got, it must be impossible." There are as many as 50,000, otherwise, Ou Ze would not even dare to enter the Ice Cave City. Facing your superior force, he would definitely not dare to move at the Beast Blood Fortress. I also believe that your troops in Cinderella, and It is impossible for Heka Tim to have as many as 30,000 troops. If you can mobilize such a large number of troops, you will send you, a beauty, to Tiedinggang to persuade me to stand on the same front as you ?”

Janice was speechless.

"Speak, you still have a chance to say one last word, so get out of here immediately."

Janice took a deep breath and said, "What I said is true. As for Dane, whether you believe it or not is up to you. The last thing I want to say is, if, Dane, you turn around now, That's still too late. Before I came, Governor Conley once explained that he admired you very much and appreciated your actions in the south. In fact, there is no need for you to defect, as long as you don't interfere in the war with peace of mind, Conley The governor must not treat you badly. At that time, he will be king in Cinderella, and you will be a governor in the south, what's wrong? Wouldn't it be much better than you flying moths to the fire, marching into the Northern Expedition to gamble and play with fire?"

"Your sentence has timed out." Dane waved his hand, "Get out."

"Dane, do you really stop thinking about it?"

"I'll let you go. Do you believe what you said? If you believe it, then you are stupid; if you don't believe it, then you are making me stupid. No matter which one it is, there is no need for us to continue talking Hurry up and get out of my sight, otherwise, I don't guarantee that I will pull out my knife and chop off that beautiful little head of yours!"

Under Dane's indifferent attitude, Janice finally didn't dare to say anything more, so she could only leave in despair.

On November 12, after several days of marching, Dane arrived at the city of Mihe.

Mihe is a medium-sized city. Going north from Tiedinggang, apart from Arnold's territory, Mihe is the most prosperous and most populous. The reason why this is possible is precisely because there is a river passing by around the Mi River, and this river is also called the Mi River.

The Mi River is an underground river, only a short section will emerge from the surface. And people built such a city in this small area, which is rare in Schindler, and still has an abundant water source. At the moment, Greeting Card Tim's legion is stationed here.

Standing on the top of the city and looking at the faintly visible Dane's army in the distance, Greeting Card Tim felt quite unhappy and a little heavy.

More than half a month ago, he stayed well in Cinderella, and was suddenly sent by Governor Conley to lead the army, ready to go to Iron Spike Hill to support Dempsey's army. At that time, he felt that Governor Conley was making a big fuss, and that Dempsey, who was on the front line, was too cautious and even timid.

Dempsey had thousands of people in his hands, and the Arnold Army around Iron Spike Hill was also mobilized into that city. A total of tens of thousands of troops, still can't deal with a little Dane? Do you want to continue to add support to that city? He felt quite unnecessary.

But there is no way, this is the order of Governor Conley, how can he disobey it

Gathering up his troops and preparing to go, he left Cinderella with a disgruntled army of 5,000 troops. What he was thinking at the time was that when he led the army to Tieding Hill and became the commander of the Southern Army, he must fight a beautiful battle at Tieding Hill, and then go south, leading an army of tens of thousands of people, completely Destroy the White Wolf Fort, and from the south to the east, threaten the Beast Blood Fort.

If he can do the series of things he thought of, he can be considered to have made great contributions in this war.

The credit may be slightly smaller than that of the northern army, but in the south, he is the only one in charge, while in the northern army, Galvin and Anders have to share the credit with each other.

It's just that I didn't expect things to change so quickly.

He had only walked halfway, and news of the destruction of Dempsey's and Arnold's regiments came from ahead.

The army of 10,000 people has been defeated, which is no less than pouring a basin of cold water on Heka Tim. After he calmed down, he inspected his troops, and finally came to a conclusion: Thinking about it, the troops he is leading now will definitely not be able to defeat the combination of Dempsey and Arnold. The army that was able to defeat the Dane they teamed up with would definitely be able to easily defeat themselves.

This is a very simple analogy calculation, and it is precisely because of this calculation that he is a little scared.

Ling Yun's lofty ambitions before leaving Cinderella were all forgotten. He didn't dare to march recklessly, so he could only stop the army while passing the news back, and continue to wait and see the situation.

Fortunately, the order from Cinderella was to let him stay where he was, which made Heka Tim heave a sigh of relief, and hurriedly led the army back until Mihe stopped. He began to put on a strict defense posture in this city, and lost all the land to the south to Dane.

When Janice brought the envoys there, and news came from the north that Ice Cave City had been occupied by his own side, he thought for a while that Dane would choose to surrender, and that it would be impossible to continue fighting. Unexpectedly, a few days later, he received the news of Dane going north again.

This made him nervous again, and his heart was filled with complaints about Janice: That woman is usually so enchanting, why is she so useless after seeing Dane? Carrying the news of the great victory in the north, can't even persuade the other party

However, no matter what, Dane's army has already arrived, and the war may be unavoidable.

Fortunately, the 2,000 reinforcements sent from Cinderella just arrived in Mihe two days ago. When the army in his hand grew to a scale of 7,000, and there was another city that could be used as a defense, the pressure in his heart was somewhat relieved.

However, he still didn't dare to be careless, and made up his mind that he would never go out of the city. After defending with all his heart, he didn't even care about the griffin cavalry flying around his head arrogantly in the Dane army!

Chapter 5 will be delivered within 24 hours! It seems that the sixth watch mentioned last night cannot be achieved, and I will go to New Year's Eve with my friends later. However, this chapter should actually be counted as one and a half chapters, with 3,000 words.

Last night and this afternoon I wrote so much crazily that my hands are almost disabled... I still have a thousand words to swallow first.

With an update of 11,000 words, it is also reliable to bid farewell to 2016. All in all, I would like to wish you all a happy new year, happiness and health in 2017! (To be continued.)
