The war had been going on for so long, and the empire's aging and dilapidated war machine had been rejuvenated by the mobilization of His Majesty the Abbasid XI Emperor, who had suddenly become wise, and the news of Duke Tulip's victory in front had spread to Yanjing from time to time, encouraging people again and again, but one afternoon, the sky changed Many people in Yanjing saw a galloping horse rushing in from the north gate of Yanjing, the knight on the horse looked very embarrassed, his armor was crooked, the dust and sweat on his face had blurred his original face into a ball, and he carried a red flag behind him, which symbolized the urgency of the military situation The knight on the horse roared from afar: "Eight hundred miles north of the urgent battle report" The soldiers who defended the city did not dare to stop him, so they immediately let go of the road, and sent two knights to walk in front of him to open the way.
Seeing that under the escort of the cavalry, three horses rushed through the streets of Yanjing one after another, and the serious expression and anxious demeanor on the cavalry's face made everyone who saw this scene worry in their hearts, is there any bad news ahead?
The War Affairs Department is already busy with all fours to the sky, the battle report of General Eliot in the Northwest Theater requesting reinforcements and supplies, the transfer of materials in the Northern Theater, the assembly of garrison corps in various places, the transfer of the Southern Development Corps, grain, grass, weapons and horses, these have made almost everyone in the Military Affairs Agency crazy, but the old Marquis Caroline is still steady, but when he saw this battle report sent by 100,000 urgently, this old Marquis who is as steady as Mount Tai can't sit still.
Before he even had time to prepare the carriage, the old fellow hurriedly rode to the palace with his men.
After all, he was old, and rode all the way to the front of the palace, and the Marquis Caroline was almost so tired that he was about to fall off his horse, and his violent wheezing was like a dirt dog that had just been choked by the neck.
But the old man still pushed away the guards who tried to help him, and ran all the way towards the palace.
Something in the world is the fastest Message grapevine The only thing that spreads faster than grapevine is bad gossip In the evening, the news of the defeat in the Northern Theater came out, and the Duke of Tulip withdrew with his army to the Northern Province to defend Neibu, and the Thundering City was a bloody battle, and nearly 30,000 Flame Warriors were wiped out Yanjing was in an uproar'Just as Yanjing was caught in the cloud of news of the defeat, a small army was on its way north.
The wilderness was boundless, the sky was full of dark clouds, and Oliseh, who was on horseback, couldn't help frowning, hoping that it wouldn't rain tonight.
He glanced at the team behind him: a dozen wagons were loaded with heavy military supplies, half of which were food.
The north is not a grain-producing area, not to mention that during this large-scale war, the consumption of food is even greater, and the cavalry team of 800 people led by Oliseh is responsible for escorting this batch of supplies to Kaka City in the north.
Kaka City is a material transit station in the Northern War Zone, and a large number of military supplies mobilized from all over the interior of the empire are transported to Kaka City, and then transported and distributed to various armies.
It was also one of the destinations of Olisekh's trip.
Olisekh, who wanted to be able to gallop on the battlefield to kill the enemy, was sent out as a transport team, naturally this young man was very depressed, but looking at the new armor and uniform on his body, a smile finally appeared on Olisekh's face.
This is a new "Thor's Whip" that comes standard with military uniforms, armor, horses, spears, and most importantly, the only scimitar in the Scimitar Emperor's team is the Thor's Whip.
Wearing this armor and equipment, after so many days of walking along the way, the troops and civilians I met all over the country looked at me with respect and envy for the whip of Thor, which was the legion of Lord Duke Tulip Due to the large-scale reorganization of Thor's Whip before the war, at the beginning of the war, all 50,000 active Thor's Whips were brought to the battlefield by the Duke, and the preparations for the expansion of the rear force were also in full swing because they were originally transferred from the local garrison, Oliseh was preferentially selected as the first batch of Thor's Whip to supplement the front-line army, and the purpose of his trip with the newly trained cavalry team of 800 people was to escort this batch of supplies to Kaka City, and then immediately went to the Thor's Whip on the front line to report and participate in the battle Although Olisekh was in a state of excitement at the moment, and he wished to fly to the front line with wings on his back immediately, the carriages carrying supplies behind him were still squeaking and struggling on the road, and the horses pulling were already a little tired, and no matter how the coachman drove them, they only slowly moved forward with heavy steps.
It's been more than ten days along the way, and the farther north you go, the more amazing the news comes along the way.
Just the day before yesterday, they got the news of the loss of Thundering City, which surprised Oliseh and his party very much, and the strongest fortress in the empire on the edge of the Thundering Strait had been lost, and the fortress guarded by Duke Tulip himself had been lost After receiving the news, everyone in this small unit was in a heavy mood.
Now that the news has come over, if Thundering City is really lost, it was a few days ago Where is the main army of Lord Duke now?
Along the way, in addition to the new army of eight hundred Thor's whips, there were also one hundred and ten people from the transport team, and the more these people went north, the more frightened they were when they heard the news one by one.
In peacetime, there is no need to interpret Olisekh, and I only hope that if something happens, it will all rely on this Thor's whip.
On this morning, he met several scouts of the Imperial Northern Legion, and Oliseh inquired with the other party, only to learn that the war had now shifted from the northern coastal zone to the inner belly.
After the Rolands got Thundering City, they repaired it for two days, and then marched towards Kaka City, as if they were about to eat Kaka City, which had stored a huge amount of supplies.
The main army of Duke Tulip arranged several lines of defense on the path of the opponent's army, blocking the advance of the Roland people layer by layer.
After several days of battles, large and small, the armies of both sides are now assembled in the Pamir plain, a few hundred miles from the city of Kaka, and it is feared that there will be a major battle there It was only that the closer he got to the front, Olisekh ordered the team to tighten their guard, although he was originally only a local cavalry leader, but in this batch of recruits, he relied on his excellent qualities to stand out, and even more so he was originally an officer, and he had already served as the commander of this small cavalry detachment of 800 people.
A cavalryman in front of him rushed to Olisekh's side, and said in a low voice: "Many corpses have been found in front of your lordship."
"Corpse" Olisekh narrowed his eyes.
Sure enough, before a meal was taken, a low-lying ground appeared in front of him, and the scene in front of him was like a Shura slaughterhouse, with corpses lying on the ground, broken weapons scattered everywhere, looking at the costumes of these dead people, some of them belonged to the imperial army, but more of them belonged to the Roland army.
The ground was scorched, as if it had been burned by a fire, many of the corpses had been charred, and some of the damaged carriages fell on the side of the road, although most of the carriages were burned, but there were still some remnants, Oliseh could see at a glance, those remnants were all grain burned to the point that only a small half of the flag was still planted on the cart, although the pattern on it was already dark, but it could be vaguely seen that it was the military flag of the Roland people.
"My lord, it looks like a small convoy of Roland people has been ambushed by our men," a cavalryman beside him whispered.
Oliseh nodded, and immediately ordered: "It seems that there are already Roland army activities nearby, everyone be careful from now on, open the road to explore Maga and send twice as many brothers to work hard, and when you arrive in Kaka City, I invite everyone to drink" "Yes" Bypassing the tragic scene in that place, the convoy slowly moved forward from the side, but after walking less than a few miles, it found a larger battlefield The terrain here is open, and there are about a thousand corpses on the ground The Imperial army and the Roland soldiers were entangled, some with arrows in their bodies, some in two heads, and fallen horses Judging from the blood all over the ground and the corpses in various postures and those broken weapons, it seems that there has been a tragic battle here, but it seems that the empire still has the advantage, and the corpses all over the ground, the Roland people occupy about seventy percent.
"It looks like an encounter," Oliseh frowned, and there were pits on the ground that I didn't know if they were magic or spells, and some were sizzling black smoke.
The captain of the convoy was a veteran, and he couldn't help but walk up to Oliseh and whispered: "My lord, could it be the place we saw just now Well, our people ambushed their convoy, and on the way to the successful retreat of the ambush, they encountered a large army of Rolanders, and it seemed that they had fought hard."
Oliseh pondered for a moment, frowned, and said: "We have to speed up, it seems that this place is already very close to the front line, I am afraid that there will often be Roland army activities around, and if we encounter the opponent's army, it will be not good for us."
A cavalryman said proudly: "My lord, even if we meet, it is most likely a small army of the other party, with our eight hundred thunder god whips here, even if they come to thousands of people, we are not afraid" Oliseh glared at him and reprimanded: "Nonsense, our order is to escort the convoy to Kaka City, where we meet the enemy's army, the small group is naturally not afraid, but once it is entangled by the enemy, our convoy cannot go fast, what if a large force of troops pursues it" After a moment of silence, Oliseh frowned, "How far is it from Kaka City?"
The leader of the convoy said, "Follow this direction, and if it goes well, you will be there in three days."
Oliseh's face was a little gloomy: "Hopefully, I hope it goes well." ” He ordered his cavalry to be divided into several teams of ten people to walk in front and on both sides of the team, everyone was vigilant in their hearts, whether it was the transport team or the whip of Thor, it was the first time to see such a large-scale war, and before they went to the battlefield to fight, they first saw two such tragic scenes, and they were a little apprehensive in their hearts.
In the evening, when they came to a low mountain break, Oliseh looked at the sky and whispered: "Just rest here, the carriage has been gone for a day, and the horses have no strength." ” Everyone knew that this was close to the front line, and that there would be small troops of troops around at any time, and if they met themselves, it would be fine, but if they met the enemy, it would be troublesome.
So Oliseh ordered that no fire should be lit and that he should only sleep in the open air.
In the middle of the night, Olisekh was just a little sleepy, when he heard his cavalry shouting in a low voice: "Your Excellency has some troops" Oliseh stood up with his sword in his hand, and the cat ran to the night watch soldier who was guarding in front of the dwarf: "What's wrong?"
"Listen, my lord," the soldier leaned over and pressed his ears to the ground.
Oliseh also leaned down, clinging to the ground, and immediately heard a faint sound of vibration, he straightened up, and said in a deep voice: "It seems to have come from the right." ” The soldier also said: "Yes, my lord, it is a cavalry who listens to the voice, but I don't know if it is a Roland man or ours." ” "Wake everyone up and prepare according to the defensive formation" All the soldiers were woken up, and the soldiers of Thor's Whip were worthy of being elite, although they were woken up at night, they all immediately returned to normal, and they were prepared in a tense and orderly manner.
And the soldiers of those convoys are much worse, and there are people who are so busy that they can't even find weapons.
In the dim moonlight, Oliseh and a few of his men climbed up on the dwarf, and saw the sound of horses' hooves coming from the plain on the right.
Through the moonlight, the armor of the opposing soldier could be faintly seen flashing with silver light, and Oliseh said coldly: "A group of fools, they don't know how to hide their whereabouts when they march at night, wearing such bright armor, are they blind when everyone else?"
A cavalryman next to him couldn't help but say: "Yes, look at them, they don't know that they wrap cotton cloth on the horse's hooves, such a big movement, aren't they afraid of being blocked by others, they must not be our people, our people are not so bad." said that, but seeing that the other party was getting closer and closer, the hearts of Oliseh and his soldiers were lifted, and it seemed that the other party's army was about three or four thousand people Although Oliseh was not afraid in his heart, even if he faced thousands of enemies, he could break through with the whip of eight hundred Thor, but after all, his current mission was to protect the convoy When the other party got closer and closer, he could already clearly see that the other party's armor, equipment and banners were all Oliseh and the others, and they were very similar to those dead Roland soldiers today Everyone leaned down, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

Although Oliseh was a little excited in his heart, he really wanted to go up and fight a fight, he was confident that with the eight hundred Thor's whips he carried, he was not afraid to meet these three or four thousand people head-on, even if he couldn't beat them, he could go.
But after all, there was a convoy behind, and the convoy did not have the speed of cavalry in the chaos.
Seeing that the other party's army was getting closer and closer, but it was about two hundred meters away from him, and it seemed that he didn't find his people, Oliseh couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
But he was a little happier "Magician" one of the soldiers jerked Olisekh.
Sure enough, there were already two magicians floating in the sky in the sky, just now the other party was too far away, and they were wearing black robes and couldn't see in the night sky, but now the distance was closer, but at a glance they saw the two magicians floating on both sides of the opponent's army.
When Olisekh and his gang saw the other magician, the magician condescendingly saw them as well Without any hesitation, a cloud of red light quickly gathered on the magician's body, and a fireball spell smashed over.
"Damn," Oliseh cursed, there was no way to hide his figure at this point, so he could only jump up, raise his sword and block the fireball that had smashed into him.
With a bang, Oliseh's body slammed backwards, and the fireball exploded under his sword, sparks flew in all directions, and his body was violently lifted several meters away.
Fortunately, the magician on the other side is not a high-level magician, and his strength is at an ordinary level, and the fireball condensed in a hurry is not too powerful, Oliseh just felt a shock to his body, although his hair was picked up a few times by the bursting sparks, and there was no injury elsewhere.
"Shoot the arrows" didn't bother to get up, and Oliseh shouted on the ground.
The hundreds of wolf fangs who were ready immediately shot hundreds of sharp arrows, and those arrows were thrown into the air, and the magician was too close to retreat, and before he could retreat, he was immediately shot through by several arrows and fell from the sky.
Other arrows fell, scattered among the opposing columns.
It's just because of the magician's fireball technique just now, the Roland army has already noticed it, and many soldiers have already raised their shields, so this round of projectiles from Oliseh's men did not cause too many casualties to the other party, only a miserable scream was heard, and less than a hundred people were shot and fell.
Oliseh had already gotten up from the ground, and when he saw that the opposing soldier had been hit by an arrow, he didn't care about anything else, and shouted: "The person in the front picks up the shield, and the other party will also release the arrow."
The soldiers of Thor's Whip have undergone rigorous training, and although these soldiers are all new soldiers, when they heard the commander's order, they immediately put down their bows and arrows and raised their shields on the ground.
Only a whooshing sound was heard, and sure enough, countless arrows rained down from the opponent's army like locusts To be continued:
