Chapter 17 Borrowing a Chicken to Lay Eggs

At noon the next day, Higg and Shante came to the port gate in full armor.

"Password?" The sentry at the door shouted.

"Patrol Infantry Major Shante of the Third Legion of the Empire, I have an urgent mission to see your sir!" Shante said loudly, and after speaking, he took out a silver arrow through the gate and handed it to the sentry.

The sentry took the wrigley and looked at it, and said, "I don't know any major captains, and I haven't seen this wrigley. ”

"Do you dare to delay Lao Tzu's military aircraft? Hurry up and report to your superiors! Of course you haven't seen it, this kind of wrigley is only known to officers. Shante shouted angrily.

The sentry was suspicious and did not dare to hold it up, so he turned around and ran in to report to the chief.

After a while, an officer hurriedly walked over, looked at Shante and Higg, and saw that Shante was indeed wearing the armor that only patrol officers of the Third Legion were wearing, and said, "Major Dalton, the quartermaster of the Third Legion, please speak inside." Then he motioned to open the door of the sentry village.

Higg and Shante followed Dalton into the officer's room in the garrison barracks, "Major Shante, patrol infantry major of the Third Imperial Legion, please ask Major Dalton for help if you have something!" ”

"Oh, what can you patrol infantry do for our help?" Dalton handed the Wrigley back to Shante.

Taking the arrow, Shante said: "I ask the major to allocate sixty of my soldiers at once, my soldiers passed through the Gaudell Hills in disguise, and were robbed by a gang of bandits, and important information was lost. ”

"Sixty soldiers? No way! I used to have more than 300 soldiers here to garrison, which was already very weak, and the front line was tight and more than 100 of me were transferred, and now I only have 180 soldiers, and now 30 soldiers are out of the field, and there are more than 10 wounded soldiers, where did I get so many soldiers and transfer you 60? Hmph, you guys want to transfer troops from me personally, do you still want my garrison warehouse? ”

"Hehe, I'm just calling it temporarily, and I'll return it in two days at most. You know, I have the right to do that. Shante said as he shook the arrow in his hand.

"I do have the right to do this, but my garrison is not a barracks. I can't afford that."

"Do I need you to be responsible? Major Dalton, are you going to disobey orders?" Shante shouted angrily.

"You don't use that broken arrow to press me, you want reinforcements, why don't you go to Misland City to ask for it?"

"I have the right to call up to the nearest no more than a hundred any soldiers who are not on combat duty. Lately, I didn't have time to go to Misland City! Shante said angrily.

"I just can't be transferred, it's a big deal to remove me." Dalton was also on fire.

"Hehe, can you just remove you? I'm telling you, even if you lose a hundred of these warehouses, you won't be worth the value of this information. If you can't transfer troops, of course I apologize to Your Majesty with death, and if you disobey military orders, you will miss a good opportunity to recover information, and you will definitely die? ”

"What intelligence is so important?" Dalton panicked.

"It's about the Queen......," Higg said preemptively.

"Shut up!" Shante said angrily, "Captain, are you going to divulge military secrets? ”

"Sir, I'm just afraid that you won't be able to transfer ...... soldiers."

"Is it your turn to interject while the chief speaks? Get out of the way! Shante was furious and rushed at Higg.

Then Shante turned to Dalton and said, "That's it, Major, I'll put the Wrigley here, and my own people will stay here, and your soldiers will let the captain take them away to carry out the mission, and we will take care of it together, if the warehouse is lost, the responsibility lies with me, so it's okay." It was the soldier I transferred, and I am here again, and there is a wrigley to prove it. If the warehouse is lost, I will be responsible. You also assisted me in the matter of intelligence, even if it is lost, the responsibility is mine, and it has nothing to do with you, how about it? ”

Dalton's eyes flickered, hesitated, and said, "Okay, I'll transfer you sixty soldiers, but you must stay, and Wrigley." ”

"Okay, that's how it should be." Shante said with a smile: "The information has been recovered, and the credit is all yours!" ”

Sigg ordered forty spearmen and twenty crossbowmen, and led the team out of the port gate and drove towards the pass of the Gauder hills.

Shante accompanied Dalton to a leisurely tea drink in the officer's quarters.

"Thank you Major Dalton for your help this time, whether it succeeds or not, our patrol infantry also accepts the love of the major, and if you need our patrol infantry to help in the future, there is absolutely no second word, haha!"

"Hmph, you patrol infantry is not nostrils facing the sky, our quartermaster is a bird place that is angry everywhere." Dalton said.

"We envy your quartermaster department, guarding the mountains of gold and silver, and living a rich life, haha!"

The two of them talked eloquently in the room, and laughter could be heard outside the room, and more than three hours had passed unconsciously.

Suddenly there was a whistle from the tower, and then the sentry shouted: "Wolf smoke, wolf smoke!" In the direction of the Gaudel Hills Pass! ”

Dalton and Shante hurried out of the officer's quarters, climbed the tower, and looked in the direction of the wolf smoke, and sure enough, it was the location of the Godell Pass.

"Oh no, there's something wrong with the material delivery team!" Dalton exclaimed.

After saying that, he walked down the hurried tower. The wolf smoke warning itself is an assembly order, so the soldiers in front of the barracks have automatically assembled and waited for instructions.

"One team and two teams stayed, and the others followed me quickly to the rescue and set off!" Dalton gave the order, there seemed to be an ominous feeling in his heart, his eyes looked at Shante, sighed, and followed the team of seventy or eighty people out of the gate and rushed in the direction of wolf smoke.

Shante looked at the remaining twenty soldiers in the stockade, plus a few sentries, plus a dozen lifeless wounded and sick lying in the ward, and smiled secretly.

……

In the Gaodel Hilly Pass, the 30 soldiers of the material transportation team were besieged by nearly 200 bandits, and nearly half of them were killed and wounded in a short time, and the formation gradually became chaotic, and it was about to be broken through the defense.

"Chief, there are enemy reinforcements in our rear, about sixty people." A bandit scout reports to Wankel.

"Impossible, enemy reinforcements could not have arrived so quickly. Are you sure it's the officers, not the bastards of Martier? Wankel asked, glaring at the spy.

"The costumes are uniform, the queue is neat, the front row is the spearmen, and the back row is the crossbowmen, which is definitely the configuration of the officers and soldiers."

"Damn, I'm fooled, I'm ready to retreat, I don't need supplies!" Wankel shouted.

"In which direction?" Charlie, the second leader, ran over, "There is a convoy ahead, the road back to the cave is blocked by reinforcements, and there may be another group of reinforcements to withdraw in the direction of the warehouse or Misland." ”

"Damn, give me all the strength to extinguish the reinforcements in the back."

Behind him was the sixty soldiers led by Higg who came to borrow chickens to lay eggs. Higg commanded the troops to stand in formation, thirty spearmen scattered in front of the line, twenty crossbows in four groups, each at the back of the spearmen's phalanx, and finally ten spearmen to protect the crossbowmen.

Higg was in no hurry to attack, this little force could not completely eliminate this powerful bandit elite, he had to wait until the second, and possibly even the third chicken came out to lay eggs for him. Besides, even if he can eliminate it, he will have to spend his time here to buy time for those rookie thieves to carry things.

Wankel ordered the bandit team to charge towards Higg's position, and Higg ordered the team to rely on the terrain to hold the position tightly, and there was no need to attack, and Shengsheng defused Wankel's attack several times, leaving more than 20 corpses in disarray, three of his own spearmen were killed, three were seriously wounded and lost their combat strength, and there was no loss of crossbowmen.

……

The port stockade, the material garrison warehouse.

Shante stood on the tower and watched Dalton disappear in the distance, so he waved his hand into the dense forest in the distance. I saw a bandit with different clothes and weapons appearing in the forest, rushing towards this side.

"Enemy attack......" The sentry next to him shouted first.

"Enemy attack......" Then the sentry at the gate also shouted.

Shante turned around suddenly, and with a dagger, he directly wiped out the sentry who was lighting up the wolf smoke next to him, and flew down the tower, "You are all in place, come two people, and guard the gate with me." ”

As he spoke, he rushed to the gate with two soldiers, and together with the two sentries at the gate, a total of five people were guarding the door.

There were only 20 people in the village, and some of them went up to the arrow tower, and some climbed the wall, always in twos and threes, and the gate of the village was the largest number. Everyone was in their places, staring nervously at the hundreds of bandits rushing ahead, and no one noticed why the wolf smoke did not rise.

Shante pulled out the matching sword, and as soon as the sword came out of the sheath, a soldier immediately fell, and then stabbed at the sentry on the right, and hung up the two directly, and the other soldier was not surprised when he saw this, so he slashed directly at Shante, but how could it be Shante's opponent, kicked away one of the knives, pulled out the sword that was still in the sentinel's body, dodged the second knife, turned around and stabbed out, right in the chest.

"Enemy attack ......" One of the remaining soldiers shouted loudly, but he was also stabbed in the neck by Shante's sword. The soldiers who had been standing in their positions looked towards the gate, and found that Shante was the only one left in the place of the gate, and all the others were lying in a pool of blood, and they were all shocked, no matter how stupid they were, they understood that Shante had rebelled. But their own number is too small to rescue, there is a crossbowman shooting blind spot on the inside of the gate, and you can only watch the gate of the village be opened, and the bandits rush in.

Outside the stockade, another group of bandits appeared, some pushing carts, some holding flat poles, and also rushed towards the gate of the village...... The stockade was immediately overwhelmed with the sound of killing...... At the same time, dozens of large and small ships floated on the sea.

……

At the Gaudel Pass, the fighting was still fierce.

The bandits' attack was still fierce, and the bandits, who were desperate to flee for their lives, rushed desperately to Higg's position, and Higg himself had to join in the fierce resistance battle.

The bandits relied on a large number, and their individual combat abilities were no worse than those of the spearmen; Higg's side relied on tight arrays, favorable terrain, and sophisticated equipment.

This was the first time Higg had commanded an army in battle, but he was in command of an enemy army, and even he secretly thought it was ridiculous.

Sixteen spearmen, five crossbowmen lost their combat power. Higg's side lost a third of the battle, and the bandits' side left more than thirty corpses at the front of the position after several attacks.

The bandits paused the onslaught, but Higg knew that an even more intense attack was coming.

"Rest in place and mend the fortifications." Higg ordered: "Our reinforcements will arrive soon. ”

"Wouldn't it be okay to let them into the mountain, sir, there's no need to fight so hard, right?" A soldier said.

"No, the information is still on them, I have to get it, understand? Hold on to help! Higg commanded firmly.

……

in the bandit camp.

Another outpost ran over, "Chief, there is a team of enemy reinforcements in the direction of the port warehouse, seventy or eighty people, and they will arrive at the battlefield in about ten minutes." ”

", that's weird!" Wankel scolded: "If the enemy had known that we were coming to rob, why didn't the enemy's reinforcements lie in ambush together, but in several waves?" The hateful Martil actually colluded with the officers and soldiers to frame us! ”

"Chief, local reinforcements appeared in the direction of Misland City, about one hundred and fifty hundred people, and they arrived on the battlefield in more than ten minutes." A sentry in the other direction ran back to report.

"Charlie, this time you take half of the people and attack the rear position, you must kill the road behind, otherwise we will be completely surrounded!" Wankel gave orders to Charlie.

Without saying a word, Charlie counted more than fifty bandits and rushed towards Higg's position, and the sound of killing was shocking......
