Heart of Empire Chapter 446: Battle of supply lines
On September 18th, Dane's army officially set out to the west. Three days later, they had already penetrated into the desert, and they were only two or three days away from the barren land pass.
However, the real war started very fiercely before Dane arrived at the pass city.
After entering the desert, nothing happened on the first day. However, from the second day on, Dane has gradually received information that his supply line has been attacked.
The biggest loss came on the third day.
The wasteland No. 2 supply station was attacked by sand bandits and burned down. More than 100 soldiers of the garrison regiment stationed in the two squadrons of Huangtu No. 2, and the same number of civilians resting at the supply station of Huangtu No. 2, were all killed. More than two hundred corpses were stacked up, and a big sign written in blood was erected next to it:
"This is the fate of the robbers from White Wolf Castle!"
This is intimidation, and Im showing off his muscles to the Schindlers: I am not so easy to bully!
I have to say that Im does have a very powerful sand bandit group under his command. It may even be not inferior to the red scarf sand bandit cavalry under Ma Long.
These desert cavalry riding camels, under the geographical environment of this desert, really come and go like a shadow.
At least, the garrison army guarding Dayne's supply line is not the opponent of these sand robbers.
If it was a frontal battle, perhaps the soldiers of the garrison army could still come and go with those sand robbers, but under their home court, they really were no match for the desert cavalry.
At this moment, Major General Palan, who was standing in front of Dane, lowered his head after reporting the latest situation, ready to be punished.
The general who had half of his face burned by Conley's Batriders in the Battle of Iron Spike Hill by means of flame projection bombing also came with Dane this time. Among the generals under Dane's command, Palan's qualifications are the lowest, and his personal strength is also the worst. If it weren't for his good foundation, he would have already obtained the rank of colonel before the start of Schindler's all-out war, and he was also responsible for the general's duties in several battles at Iron Spike Hill. It's really not easy for Dane's subordinates to reach the rank of general.
But this does not mean that he is not capable. Verina values him, and Dane is also willing to value him. Naturally, it is because he is still capable.
In this western expedition, Palan was ordered to lead the soldiers of the three garrison regiments and 6,000 civilians to maintain the supply line of the army.
After receiving this appointment, Palan can be said to be full of energy, wanting to prove himself through this battle: he is not deaf, and other officers usually point behind his back, saying what's his qualifications It's not like he hasn't heard such words as "the shallowest general has no skills".
Hearing these words, of course he can directly attack. Come to think of it, the general star hanging on his shoulder could scare the officer who dared to gossip on the spot.
But what's the use? He can frighten an officer, how can he run to frighten countless officers or soldiers in the entire army?
That would obviously do nothing, and would turn him into a clown.
The best way, of course, is to present results in a serious manner and make a record. In the army, a place where strength has always been used to speak, only these things can truly block those gossips.
But who would have thought that after marching into the desert, the army would suffer a terrible loss in the desert before reaching the pass city. The person who suffers from boredom is none other than the supply unit that Palan is in charge of.
This made Palan very embarrassed.
While he was anxiously arranging the defense, he ran to Dane full of shame to plead guilty.
Dain silently looked at the general in front of him, and he sighed after a long time.
To be honest, there are objective reasons for the fact that the supply troops were unable to deal with the harassment of the camel cavalry in the desert, and the supply line was greatly affected.
But Dane still felt somewhat disappointed in his heart.
Dain has great expectations for Palan, and this expedition does not mean to hone the young general.
But obviously, Palan failed to meet Dane's expectations.
Hearing Dane's sigh, Palan's face flushed instantly.
"My lord, I will go back and rearrange my defensive strategy now. In the next time, I will definitely not let the previous situation happen again! I would like to issue a military order. If it cannot be achieved, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Dane stopped him with a wave.
"Stop." Dane said, "Don't make any too poisonous oaths, I don't want to lose a general because of this matter."
Palan lowered his head in shame.
Dyne said: "The defensive strategy must be adjusted, but I don't blame you for this matter. Those sand robber camel cavalry are really hard to guard against. Let me introduce a colleague to you. When adjusting the new strategy , he should be able to help you a little."
Palan stepped forward and took a bronze seal about the size of a thumb from Dane, then took his leave and left.
Going out of Dane's marching tent, at the place where the army camped, turning left and right, Palan found the person that Dane said could help him.
That's an average guy.
The face is not ugly, but it is not handsome, it is the most ordinary type; the body is neither tall nor too short, the most ordinary body. Wearing leather armor, there is nothing unusual in the army.
Actually, if Dane hadn't asked him to find this man, and this man was standing alone in front of him at this moment, Palan was really worried that he would skip him at a glance.
On him, the only thing that can be called special is the rank of major on his shoulder~IndoMTL.com~ The rank of major is already considered a senior officer in Dane's legion , Enlarged in the legion, maybe he can take on the responsibility of a big captain.
There are not many such people, but this one, Palan is sure that he has never seen it before, and has no impression of it.
Where did a major come from?
"Hello Major General Palan, I'm Firmino, nice to meet you." When Palan looked at the man up and down, the man spoke first.
"Hello, Mr. Major." Palan nodded. Although he couldn't see anything unusual about this person, he was introduced by the lord and said that he would be of great help to the new defensive strategy, and he would not neglect it.
