Pioneering

Among the countries in the Northern Continent, the best geographical environment is the Kingdom of Winkrell. Its terrain is flat, mostly plains, rainy and hot at the same time, the coastline is long, and there are many natural harbors.

Except for the most northwestern part of the territory which is close to the "Arctic Ocean", although it is relatively cold, not only are there mountains blocking the cold current, but also there are a lot of minerals, such as the oil that Yasha lacks, the reserves here are very rich.

To the north and west is a long coastline, to the southeast is the Principality of Magzek, and to the southwest is the Principality of Wized, and there are many small countries in it as a buffer zone. Its strategic position is second only to the extinct Andrea Asia .

[-]% of the territory is plains, [-]% are basins and mountains, and there is not an inch of desert. It can be called a "Chosen Land".

It is no wonder that both the Guangming Empire and the current Winklell Kingdom chose to establish their countries here.

However, the natural environment that the Winklell people were proud of in the past has now become a problem for the nobles in Winklell.

John led his troops from Windsor to the Principality of Wized in the southwest. The road was almost endless plains, and there were few terrains that could meet the conditions of an ambush.

From a military point of view, ambush locations are mostly selected in narrow valleys, forest trails or road turns.

These terrains can either lengthen the enemy's line, or provide effective cover, which can effectively improve the success rate of ambushes.

However...not to mention the fact that news about the logistics line is hard to come by, the Asshai people obviously don't trust them, no matter whether the specific route is through the dark lines hidden among the little nobles who defected to the past, or sending the most elite spies, they have never succeeded. Got the news.

The most troublesome thing is that the terrain is so good that nothing can be hidden at a glance!

Advanced spells that can make groups invisible can't hide more than 4 people. What's more, they are in Winkrell, who nominally regards wizards as the source of all evil. An official wizard is very good, and there is no archmage who has reached the fifth ring or above.

Fontaine County is the area closest to Weizede in the southwest. If it is bypassed, it will take more than a month to walk. This is absolutely intolerable for the logistics of the army.

Therefore, the great nobles of Winkrel chose an unavoidable method, that is, to monitor the movement of the entire Fontaine County as much as possible, and then choose the opportunity to attack Asshai's logistics team, save their own knights, and burn the Asshai people's logistics by the way. supplies.

For this reason, they not only dispatched almost all the spies, but also quietly moved more than 3 knights into Fontaine in advance, and invited the hidden masters of the family, and even the heads of the major families came in person.

"Hey, who is your Excellency? Why didn't Huo Sen come?" Mosang Tang Haina frowned and asked the members of the Tang Sirui family in front of him.

"My Majesty, Moraft Tang Siri, uh... Patriarch, Patriarch," Moraft said with a flash of inspiration, "Patriarch's child is about to be born, and he has been busy recently, so he had to send me to convey the news on his behalf.

Please rest assured, all the forces that should be sent by our family have come, and none of them is missing, and the owner of the family is not famous for his strength, so he will not affect the plan. "

Do I want to say that our Tang Sirui family has almost migrated, and the journey is extremely smooth, and all the people who come here are mercenaries and ordinary soldiers to make up for it?

"I haven't heard that Huo Sen's wife is pregnant?" Rand said.

"Ahem, it's not Mrs. Terina, yes, ahem, everyone is a man and understands everything." Moraft explained.

"Well, I hope your Tang Sirui family can understand that everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope now, don't try to preserve your strength.

It really failed, and Yasha had to take care of him, and his family was ruined! "Rand Don Witt said noncommittally.

"That's natural, that's natural." Moraft promised again and again.

"According to reliable sources, Yashai is going to take this road—Dragon's Singing Canyon. The terrain here is narrow and long, with two mountains sandwiching a ditch, and steep highlands on both sides. It is convenient for concealment and condescending attack. It is almost a place The most perfect ambush battlefield." Mosang said.

"Then it's set here? Will there be fraud? That Salter is also a hero, and he is not an easy character to deal with. How could he make such a low-level mistake?" Rand was a little skeptical.

"Strictly speaking, this is not a mistake, it's just the best choice after taking into account the risk and the distance. If you don't take this Dragons Canyon, you will have to walk for at least ten days. If it were me, I would do the same, the big deal is to be careful It is," Moraft said.

"Then choose this place?" Mosang's fingers kept tapping on the table top nailed to the map, "I'm still a little uneasy..."

Moraft said: "It's a good thing for the two adults to be cautious, but if you wait any longer, I'm afraid there will be no chance. Fontaine is already our best choice."

"makes sense……"

"How about that," Moraft slapped his forehead, and said, "The troops led by the two will ambush from the canyons on both sides first, and half of our Tang Sirui family will join you, and the remaining half will stay outside to support you." , if there is any accident, it is convenient to deal with it, how about it?"

"...This." Both of them felt that the idea was really good, but they didn't want others to get such a good job.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Moraft grinned and said, "I don't want to take advantage of you. On behalf of the Tang Siri family, I am willing to support each of your family with [-] enchanted rifles and [-] rounds of ammunition. Loss on the first line."

"Your family has greatly reduced the risk of loss, and this compensation is not enough." Rand pondered.

"so?"

"There is a price increase! Each family has [-] enchanted rifles and [-] rounds of ammunition." Rand winked at Mosang, "Are you right, Mosang?"

"That's right, you guys are taking advantage, you have to raise your bargaining chip, otherwise it's not fair." Mo Sang said cooperatively.

"Are you kidding me, you two, our Tang Sirui family has no shortage of manpower, only half of them are sent to the periphery to support, and it's not like we don't want to go to the battlefield.

Six thousand enchanted rifles and [-] rounds of ammunition have been smuggled by Yasha for three years. It is not clear whether there are [-] enchanted rifles in Winkrell. You want us to take six thousand?

How about one of your two trade with us, it's so cheap, we can't afford it! "Moraft said with some annoyance.

The two smiled awkwardly, and knew that the price was a bit outrageous, but they had something to talk about, so why did they overturn the table.

"Then how about [-] guns and [-] rounds of ammunition for each family?"

"It's time for everyone to cooperate sincerely. There's no need to take advantage at this time, right? Both of you are big shots, so you should know better than me. One thousand for each family, and at most six thousand rounds for each family."

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Moraft admired Huo Sen's decision to relocate the family and run away. Although he was full of disdain for the other two Patriarchs, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the two, he still made a fuss. .

……

"Patriarch, why do we have to trick them before we leave?"

"Idiot, the two of them also have backgrounds in the Western Continent, if we don't trick them, how can we make them internally quarrel, and how can we reduce our competitive pressure?
Only one of us can copy Yaxia's homework!The Western Continent cannot accommodate two 'Asha's', let alone 'three'! "

"Hiss, Patriarch, you are really black-hearted!"

"Ok?"

"No, no, you are so wise!"

……

In the end, after an exchange that seemed to be bargaining in a vegetable market, the Tang Sirui family compensated each of the other two families with [-] enchanted rifles and [-] rounds of ammunition.

As for the other next-level nobles, there are five in total, and they are not worthy of the Tang Sirui family taking the initiative to pay compensation. If you follow the three major families, you will be able to rescue your captured knight.
a few days later.

In Longyin Canyon, thick mist filled the air, covering the steep canyon walls.The towering rock walls on both sides of the canyon stand like sharp knives, seemingly ready to cut all intruders into pieces at any time.

The swaying trees hang twistingly from the rocky walls, their gaunt branches stretching like hungry claws into the untouchable abyss of the valley floor.

Along the deep canyon, the thunderous wind whistling passed through rapidly, like a crazy beast galloping down, with bang bang, like the low roar of a huge legendary monster.

There is a depressive atmosphere in the silent valley, which seems to convey the hidden danger.

Under the shroud of mist, the cold wind whizzed past, bringing a icy sting to the people in the convoy transporting supplies.

However, it is said that Sart led more than 3 people and drove more than 4 prisoners of war pushing simple wheeled grain trucks. There were also a small number of iron eight-wheeled trucks in the team, and they moved quickly in Longyin Canyon.

The strange mix of mechanical and manual transportation, if a modern person from Blue Star sees it, they will probably have a weird feeling like seeing a monkey shooting a target with an AK.

This is also a helpless move. It's not that I don't want to use mechanical power to gallop the world, but that Yaxia's oil production capacity is limited, which is only enough for a small number of people. Besides, other countries do not have oil processing industry, and the road conditions are even more difficult to describe. It would be nice to have a van available.

Under various restrictions, the speed of these iron trucks was not much faster than the speed at which these extraordinary knights and prisoners of war pushed their unicycles out of Mars.

Moreover, consuming a few catties of white steamed buns for thousands of miles is much cheaper than transporting oil from Yaxia!
"Bastard, how dare you abuse the knights of glory, Yasha and the others..."

"Shut up, you want to disturb the enemy and destroy the plan!"

"Don't do it yet, it's over halfway."

"Wait, wait, there are still a small half of the Asshais who haven't gone in."

"Aren't we going to rescue the prisoners, wouldn't it be good to divide them in half?"

"Hmph, can you be a little ambitious? We have prepared a lot of weapons. We will rescue the captives later and give them weapons. Can't we still eat these 3 people?"

"You have a bit of courage and appetite, Mosang."

"Why, this is a rare good time. If you win, you can reverse the strength of the enemy and us in Winkrell. Don't you want to annihilate them?"

"...Done!"

After more than 7 people have all entered the canyon, they are like a winding dragon walking on a difficult mountain road.

It was the scorching sun, and the sweaty crowd stopped, and smoke rose from the canyon.

Although Yaxia forced the prisoners of war to work, Saerte did not mistreat these prisoners according to the "Regulations on the Administration of Prisoners of War" compiled (copied) by Zhong Ming, and when it was time to eat, many prisoners also took their share.

"It's time!" The leaders of the three major families looked at the transportation team that was eating dry food and pouring clean water, looked at each other, and nodded to each other.

"Hey~ Smack!"

After a sound, there was a loud shout of killing, and boulders rolled down quickly, attacking the Yashai crowd in the rear team, splashing blood and mud.

Afterwards, countless brave knights jumped up, took advantage of the condescending position, bent their bows and set arrows, and shot at the crowd of Yashai, causing screams.

Yaxia's detainees also seemed to have been attacked suddenly, panicking, ignoring the prisoners and supplies, retreating steadily, and only after losing half of their manpower, they could barely escape the canyon under the enemy's tail.

"Brothers, you are free!" Mosang clenched his hands and shouted loudly.

"Don't cry, you are the proud warriors under the crown of the sea god, take up your arms, and follow me to destroy this group of damned Asshai." Rand was a little surprised, how did these prisoners of war seem to have changed after being captured? , Crying like a softie, are you too excited?
"Fuck, run!" A clever prisoner of war refused to take the weapon that was sent to him, mustered all his strength, turned his head and yelled, and ran towards the other side of the canyon.

"Huh?!" Mo Sang was about to take down this coward to make an example of others, but heard...

"Patriarch, something is wrong, the car is not food, but dead leaves and firewood!"

"Damn it, the smell, it's gunpowder on it!"

Mosang and Rand looked at each other, feeling bad in their hearts: "No, trap! Get out!"

Before the words were finished, a bird of prey neighed in the sky, and soon pieces of fire rained down—a rain of meteors and fire!
Violent explosions and flames suddenly rose several feet high, and the fire suddenly rose with thick smoke.

The shouts of killing sounded again, and came from both ends of the canyon. Two teams of Asshai cavalry blocked the entrance of the canyon at some point.

When the rocket was shot down, the explosives detonated at the same time, and the dry grass and firewood were all covered, scraping and scraping, and the fire was soaring into the sky.

Ambushes rushed from all sides, the Winkelells were defeated, ten wounded, nine out of ten, and countless dead. The rest of them ran to the Taniguchi ahead to escape, but they couldn't escape the barrage of bullets that were replaced with enchanted guns.

Mosang and the others were so startled that they were at a loss, and ran in the direction of the fleeing prisoners in a trance.Only Moraft seemed to have expected it, decisively tore a teleportation scroll, and disappeared in place.

The few masters who stepped forward and wanted to turn the tide were also blocked by Sart and Chi Ling, and they could only stare blankly, watching the elite families at the bottom of the valley suffer heavy casualties.

The entire valley seemed to be on fire. It burned everything, and also burned the backbone of Winkrel's remnant party. It burned away their only bargaining chip to stand up, and it also burned the result of the war that swept across the Northern Continent. (end of this chapter)
