Heart of Empire Chapter 450: Competition for stables

Palan was starting to feel a little worried. Dust ↙ Fate ↘ Literature? Learning ↘ Network

The troops led by Lieutenant Colonel Northman are not weak in terms of strength. The number of six or seven hundred people, together with Palan and Gebu, one east and one west, violently attacked the main camp of the sand bandits from two directions, completely disrupting the positions of these sand bandits, and In the case of creating huge battle results, the task of occupying stables and corrals should not be too difficult.

However, the delayed magic signal made Palan suspicious.

Although there is no way to get an overview of the battle situation at the main camp, those sand bandits don't have much chance of coming back.

But if the stables cannot be broken down, there is still the possibility of things going wrong.

It is true that a large number of sand bandits were killed without horses and equipment, but looking at the camp of this group of sand bandits, Paran had estimated that the number of enemies here would not be less than Fifteen hundred people.

There are so many people, of course it is impossible to kill them all in one surprise attack. In fact, just like the group of sand bandits that Palan and Gebu jointly exterminated just now, there must be some enemies who organized resistance.

Now, what Palan is worried about is that if something happens to the stable and Norseman fails to take it as promised, but instead allows the sand robbers to continue to occupy the stable, then these sand who have regained their mounts Theft will become a great threat.

It may be difficult for the sand bandits to turn defeat into victory, but after owning a group of mounts, Palan's troops will definitely encounter certain troubles. The most worrying thing is that a considerable number of sand pirates will escape on camels.

Of course, the fourth wave of troops deployed by Palan was led by the wolf cavalry colonel and half-orc Soros. The task was to cruise around the sand bandit camp and kill the enemies who escaped from the camp.

If the Sand Bandits fled on foot, the wolf cavalry would be able to capture at least 95% of the deserters. The sense of smell of the wargs, as well as their mobility, ensure that they have this ability. However, if those sand robbers rode camels and broke out in batches, Soros would be under great pressure.

In order to expand the area and scope of hunting, Soros's wolf cavalry troops were not equipped in a centralized manner, but were scattered around the camp, enclosing the entire camp. Although this allowed him to catch enemies escaping from any direction as easily as possible, but the defense within the entire hunting range was not that strong.

In other words, the sand bandits who escaped in disorder will be hunted down as prey, but the large group of camel cavalry who rush out in a concentrated manner will easily tear apart Soros' defense line and escape.

It doesn't take much, as long as one-fifth of the Sand Bandits escape, Palan's raid mission can be regarded as a failure. One-fifth of the sand robbers are three hundred camel cavalry. This number of camel cavalry can still continue to pose a certain threat to his supply line. Moreover, when these sand bandits became vigilant, it was impossible for them to give Palan such a good chance again.

In this attack, these sand robbers must be beaten to death with a stick, and there must be no future troubles.

If this is the case, the most urgent thing is to find a way to confirm the situation on the side of Lieutenant Colonel Norseman. If there is really a problem with them, they must find a way to remedy it as soon as possible. In short, no matter what, the stables must be occupied.

Taking out the map, Palan and Geb studied it together, and confirmed their location and the direction of the stable.

Palan said: "Well, I will take two hundred people to the stables to have a look, and you will take another squadron of soldiers and continue to fight in the main camp of the sand bandits. I hope you can Let’s gather the army and stop letting the soldiers continue to fight blindly in this camp.”

"Okay, I understand what you mean." Gebu said, "Don't worry. I will bring the mage with me. If there is any situation, use the wind message to notify."

"Yeah."

The two separated, and Paran led the team towards the direction of the stable.

On the way, he confirmed the situation on the Norseman's side with the army mage beside him many times, but the answer he got was that there was no response after the wind message was passed.

This situation made Palan feel even more ominous.

He said to the army mage beside him: "Throw a purple signal flare."

According to the pre-war agreement, the purple signal flare is the message that the general is calling for the air cavalry.

After the signal bomb exploded in the night sky, about two or three minutes later, Cyber ​​came to the scene with five or six Griffin cavalry.

Didn't talk nonsense with Cyberdo, Palan asked directly: "Have you seen the battle over the stable?"

"No, it's pitch black, and my people and I can't see anything in the sky except the fire on the ground."

Palan beckoned ~IndoMTL.com~ Two or three army mages came over.

"Bless the Griffon and the Griffin Cavalry with dark vision." Turning his head, Palan continued to say to Cyber: "The range of dark vision is not large, only sixty yards. I need you and your people Fly at low altitude, let me investigate in the direction of the stables, find out what happened there, and report to me as soon as possible, is there any problem?"

"Guaranteed to complete the task!"

Watching Cyber ​​and his Gryphon Riders disappear into the night sky, Palan continued to lead his troops forward.

It didn't take long for the griffins to come back and bring news.

"I saw Norseman with a group of elves and pure swordsmen, fighting a large number of sand robbers inextricably!"

The first words that Saibo landed next to Palan made the general's face tense.

He hurriedly asked: "Speak clearly! How is the situation of Norseman? Has he been able to occupy the stables? Have those sand robbers obtained a large number of mounts? How is the battle going? Can he still hold on?"

A series of questions came over, but fortunately, Cyber ​​is still reliable in this respect. These situations, he only came to repay after seeing clearly.

"Northman and his soldiers have occupied the stables. They have closed the gates of the stables and corrals. Hundreds of camels are locked inside and cannot get out. The sand robbers have not had time to get their mounts. And they Now they are defending the stables, there are not many people, it seems that there are only a few hundred people, but they are facing about two to three times the siege of the enemy, and they have fallen into a bitter battle."

The news was mixed. The enemy failed to obtain the mount, but Norseman seemed to be unable to hold it.

But anyway, the stables are still under control.

"I can't wait any longer..." Palan said, "Saibo, take your boys to support first, and my people and I will arrive later!"
