Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords
#295 - Transporting Supplies
Unlike attacking Cologne and Blackrock Fortress, these demons were scattered across the plains like snowflakes, requiring no large siege equipment.
Therefore, when all the reinforcements gathered, the battle unfolded like a meeting of fire and earth.
Several thousand Gryphon Knights took to the sky first, these gold-armored knights were prepared to take back air superiority first.
Because this was related to whether they could re-establish communication channels with the long-lost White Bone Fortress.
The only aerial force on the opposing side was a group of Vrocks, although their numbers were several times greater than the Gryphon Knights, almost occupying the entire sky, their equipment and quality were obviously inferior to their own.
Every Gryphon Knight was undoubtedly a master archer, taking to the sky first, they hadn't even approached the enemy, merely plucked the wind magic-infused bows in their hands, and the opposite side fell to the ground one after another like dumplings in a pot.
As a perfect legion system, the Gryphon Knights not only had a group of Battle Qi knights, but also a dozen fire elemental warlocks wearing red hooded robes.
These fire elemental warlocks were all spellcasters carefully cultivated from the court mage group, although they were not as proficient in various magics and knowledgeable as the mages in the mage tower.
However, they single-mindedly, painstakingly studied a spell for more than ten years, and in terms of destructive power alone, they were definitely not weak.
Riding on the gryphons, they chanted incantations wholeheartedly, dozens of huge fireballs condensed, and then slammed towards the most densely populated place of the Vrocks in an instant.
The demon side's wizards didn't want to stop them, but both were high in the sky, and they could only stare blankly, helpless.
Dozens of fireballs smashed into the crowd, bursting open with a bang, turning into countless tiny sparks, these sparks were like maggots on bones, once they were touched, they would instantly burst into flames that could not be extinguished.
The Vrocks in the sky became torches one by one, constantly beating the flames on their bodies but to no avail, wailing, spinning and falling from the sky.
The battlefield was a contest of hard power, and when they lost their numerical advantage, the demons instantly fell into a disadvantage, no longer having their previous arrogance and bloodlust.
Li Wei watched from a distance on the hillside, amazed, as if he could smell the disgusting burnt smell.
These warlocks' fireballs were different from the small fireballs in his previous life, the difference between the two was probably greater than that between a gecko and a tiger.
To be honest, if Highcliff faced this group of Gryphon Knights, there really wasn't a good way to deal with them.
He was confident that the barbarians under his command could fight this group of Gryphon Knights, but the problem was that the other side wasn't stupid, they wouldn't abandon their advantage in the sky and come to the ground to fight the barbarians hand-to-hand.
Ground units and flying units were inherently unequal.
Therefore, the more he watched, the more the lord drooled with envy, secretly thinking about where to fool a group of flying units to join Highcliff after returning to Highcliff.
After all, this thing was like the Black Hawk helicopter in his previous life, once he mastered it, he would have air supremacy.
At that time, oil would not only breed mold.
But now he hasn't even seen a single hair of a flying creature, and there's still no sign of it.
The battle continued until noon when the scorching sun was high in the sky, and the demon side finally couldn't withstand the casualties and began to slowly retreat, giving up the sky over the White Bone Fortress.
The Gryphon Knights were able to travel back and forth between the two sides, bringing each other the urgently needed news.
...
"What, you want me, a resounding marquis, to be a grain transport officer?!"
In the camp, Li Wei roared so loudly that he almost poked a hole in the tent.
"Duchess Fulina personally named you." Fojero couldn't help but pick his ears, with a wry smile on his face: "The duchess believes that transporting supplies is a very serious matter, she is not at ease to hand it over to others, only the Lion Hunting Knight who broke through Cologne and captured General Kloss is enough to take on this important task."
The Gryphon Knights brought a lot of news from the White Bone Fortress, the most important of which was that they had been short of food for several days, during this time they even took off the leather belts on their waists to stew soup, and the leaves on the trees in the city were all picked clean.
If they didn't come again, all the soldiers of the White Bone Fortress would probably launch a desperate total attack and collectively commit suicide.
Therefore, the top priority was to transport supplies to these starving guards first.
The Gryphon Knights only regained air supremacy over the White Bone Fortress from the main force, but the White Bone Fortress was still besieged by a pile of demon seas.
At this time, when they blocked most of the demons in front, someone needed to take the opportunity to transport supplies into the White Bone Fortress.
"Lord, you don't have to feel burdened by this, in fact, transporting grain is not as dangerous as you think, the demons blocking the White Bone Fortress will be dealt with by General Toka, you are only responsible for transporting the supplies in." Fojero scratched his head, and some dandruff fell from the top of his head.
Tens of thousands of people marching and fighting, water was a problem, except for those few real high-level people, no one could be extravagant enough to wash their hair with water.
Li Wei didn't think there was any danger, but he felt a little depressed that he was now a grain transport officer, considering his identity.
But when he thought of the famous Zhong family emperor Yuan Mishui, who also managed military rations at the beginning, he suddenly became interested again.
"Okay, when?" He thought to himself, how to get some benefits from it.
After all, this batch of supplies was aided by the West, if he didn't take it, others would, so it's better to give Highcliff a bargain.
"It's tomorrow morning, Lord, you go and prepare now, it's just right."
...
In fact, it was said to be early tomorrow morning, but when night fell, the army from the East gathered troops under the bright moon.
Military flags were all over the ground, swords and guns were like forests, and the sound of armor colliding was like the chimes from the Holy See, sentencing the demons to death.
Among them, the strategy of night raid was first proposed by the old general from the East, named Toka.
He believed that because the demons had a greater advantage at night, no one had launched an attack at night before, and over time, these demons had long defaulted that humans did not dare to attack them at night.
Therefore, launching a night raid at this time would have unimaginable effects.
This remark was immediately recognized by most people.
This result made the old general extremely satisfied, and he immediately proposed with a smile: "Since this strategy was thought of by this old man, then no one should know better than me how to do it, this is a very difficult thing to complete, why not leave it to this old man."
The people who agreed with this plan looked at the honest old face, and instantly felt like they were a clown.
After laying the groundwork for so long, it turned out to be to get credit for himself.
After all, there were only so many demons, if one person got a little more, another person would get a little less.
They immediately beat their chests and feet, and they all felt that this old guy looked like he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he didn't expect that he would also play these little tricks.
So 40,000 soldiers from the East began to organize their troops to attack, and they didn't have any idea of hiding their tracks, so many people couldn't cover it up at all.
First, a pile of catapults were pulled out, poured with the kerosene they brought and lit, and one after another, stone balls that looked like small suns in the night sky smashed towards the distant demon camp.
The demons who were still in their sleep were immediately smashed into a daze, after all, humans had not attacked them at night before, everyone defaulted that night was a time to rest, but now they suddenly launched an attack, most of the demons were beaten into a daze, and many were crushed into meat paste by rolling boulders while still in their sleep.
Finally, under the roar of the high-level demons, they barely gathered together and began to face the army that was coming with torches in the distance, preparing to resist the opponent's attack.
...
"They started attacking." Damon stood on the city head of the White Bone Fortress, where he could easily see the demon camp three or four miles away was unfolding countless fights.
It's just that the night vision was really bad, so he could only see a pile of torches moving, and the faint sound of fighting.
"Lord Damon, do we need to open the city gate and go out to help?" The speaker was Mudehan, but compared to his handsome face in the past, now his cheeks were sunken, not much better than those beggars.
The only difference was that his eyes were getting brighter, because they contained hope.
In fact, it was not only him, the soldiers on the city head were also looking forward to seeing the supplies that they had promised to transport over.
"No, if the demons take this opportunity to attack the city gate, then our efforts will be in vain." Damon shook his head, even though hope was right in front of him, he still remained cautious: "You go and order the soldiers to cheer up and defend the city gate, to prevent the demons from launching an attack at night."
"After you finish, come back immediately." He added.
The situation was very chaotic now, and he didn't want anything to happen to the bard who had saved him.
"Yes." Mudehan nodded and ran away quickly.
"Hoo, the reinforcements are finally here." Lancelot felt relaxed all over, and even had the mind to joke: "I remember when I first started waiting, I didn't have such a bad smell on my body, now I'm afraid even if I give a prostitute a gold coin, she won't let me on."
"Prostitutes may not, but male prostitutes will." Damon was a regular at brothels when he was young, otherwise he wouldn't be called the "Rogue Knight", so he directly took over the conversation.
Both of them were in a good mood in the face of the arrival of reinforcements.
...
While the front was fighting fiercely, the lord was leading a group of orc barbarians in the rear, slowly loading supplies.
"Boss, there's wine here!"
Suddenly, Zart's loud voice rang out, and the lord who was sitting on a pile of burlap sacks and biting an apple ran over quickly.
He pried open a wooden box with a sword, revealing a box of oak barrels inside.
"Pour a little to taste."
Zart picked it up directly, pulled out the wooden stopper and poured it into a cup.
Li Wei slowly sipped it, but the bitterness in his mouth quickly made him spit it out.
"Damn, what kind of horse urine did you get to fool people?"
He had drunk the wine brewed by the elves, and he had also drunk the mare's milk wine brewed by the centaurs, the two tasted different, and he gave them both high marks.
But the wine in front of him was like soaking a few sour fruits in water, sour and astringent, and very unpalatable.
Even Zart, who didn't care about his taste, took a sip and put on a painful mask, throwing it back into the box like garbage.
He finally became a grain transport officer, or such supplies without a clear owner, the lord naturally had to check it carefully first, during which he took some good things to comfort himself, it wouldn't be too much, right?
But he didn't expect that the quality of the bulk wine was so poor.
He had a bad premonition in his heart, and quickly ordered the barbarians to open the boxes of supplies, and when he saw the neatly stacked things inside, he looked up and smiled bitterly.
Yes, he should have thought of it long ago, but how good can he expect the aided supplies to be?
I saw that the boxes were filled with black bread, and even saw crushed stones and some unknown things mixed in it.
Even dogs don't eat this stuff!
It is said that in a dark night where you can't see your fingers, a thief sneaked into the home of a simple farmer.
He greedily, like a whirlwind, "borrowed" the family's food in the kitchen.
After all the work was completed, he proudly picked up the bag full of food, preparing to spend a perfect, flawless day.
But, when he turned around, he saw the angry, murderous weapon-wielding - black bread hostess.
That's right, the black bread that was obviously food has become a murderous weapon.
Although this is just a joke circulating among the people of Debei, it can also be seen the power of these black breads.
The plan to enrich his own pockets failed, and the lord could only wave his hand angrily, loaded the supplies on the car, and then drove towards the White Bone Fortress.
As the war became more and more anxious, the demon's defense line began to be beaten back constantly, but when it reached a limit, it began to stabilize.
Because the demons who reacted began to constantly increase their troops here, if it was daytime now, you could see that the plain far away from the battlefield had been occupied by demons, and they were rushing towards here like waves.
The lord knew that this was an opportunity to race against time, once the soldiers of the East couldn't stop it, the angry demons would vent their anger on Highcliff.
"Stupid, run faster!" Li Wei was standing on the shoulders of a giant monster, "I'll give you an extra meal when you go back."
He had collected a bunch of these big fools in the wilderness, and they could survive by eating grass roots and batter with abundant giant power, so he directly used them as coolies, which were more useful than cattle and horses.
After all, cattle and horses have to be carefully taken care of, and occasionally they have to be allowed to rest for a few days, but the giant monsters don't need it at all, they are born to do coolies.
The supplies that need three horses to pull, these giant beasts with a height of nearly four blades and a weight of several thousand pounds can do it alone, and it seems very easy.
