"Quick, speed up¡ª"
In the blizzard and snow, a huge convoy loaded with grain and fodder was heading west along the main road.
The main banner regiments of the Far East Empire pursued the Desert Empire army westward along the road, and the logistical supply line was thus lengthened.
Fortunately, in order to deal with the war in the northwest this time, the Far East Empire not only dispatched elite troops, but also temporarily formed many militia troops and transportation teams.
A huge transport team was active behind the Far East Empire army. They transported fodder, medicinal materials, arrows, and transported trebuchets, stone bombs, etc. with the army.
When they returned, they transferred a large number of wounded from the front line to the rear for treatment.
It can be said that these active convoys have strongly supported the operations of the Far Eastern Army on the Northwest Front, especially in this harsh weather.
Without these transport teams, the Far Eastern Army would have to allocate a large number of troops to transport food, fodder, etc., which would greatly weaken their combat effectiveness.
"My lord, the wind and snow are too heavy, do you want to rest overnight in the village ahead before leaving?"
Facing the heavy snow like goose feathers, an officer of the civilian army stepped on the snow, walked up to a quartermaster, and offered suggestions.
"Brothers are chasing the enemy ahead. If the food cannot be sent up in time, they will fight hungry, so we can't stop."
The quartermaster waved his hand to brush the snow off his shoulders, and also sighed and declined the request of the civilian army officer.
"Tell the transportation team and the guard brothers that after the military ration mission is over, I will apply to the adults and apply for a five-day leave for everyone. Then let everyone have a good rest." The quartermaster added.
"Then thank you, Mr. Wang."
After hearing what the quartermaster said, the officers of the civilian army also turned happy. It would be a good deal if they could have five days off.
Just as the quartermaster and the guarding militia officer were talking, suddenly a militia soldier stumbled over from a distance.
"Enemy, enemy, the ravine is full of enemies!"
The soldier of the civilian army ran up to them, pointed to the ravine not far from the road, and shouted out of breath.
"What enemy, let me explain more clearly?"
Seeing this panicked militia soldier, the militia officer and the quartermaster who escorted the rations also had serious faces.
"The army of the desert empire, all the troops in the valley are the army of the desert empire!" the militia soldier said in panic.
"What?"
The quartermaster and civilian army officers were also full of astonishment, looking at the white valley in the distance, full of doubts.
"Ang woo¡ª¡ª"
Just when they decided to send people to investigate, they heard the sound of loud horns suddenly sounded from the ravines and forests.
"Kill!"
In the ravines and forests around them, suddenly, like mushrooms after a spring rain, a large number of Desert Empire soldiers wearing white cloaks appeared densely.
These soldiers of the desert empire were full of fierce faces, and rushed towards the transport team on the road with their swords in their hands.
Seeing dense numbers of enemies suddenly appearing in all directions, the expressions of the quartermaster and civilian army officers also changed.
The quartermaster's brain suddenly went blank. He never imagined that there would be a large number of Desert Empire troops here.
You must know that the main force of their Far Eastern Army has already caught up. It stands to reason that there are no enemies in this area.
But now a large number of desert empire troops suddenly appeared, and they couldn't figure it out.
"Ready to fight!"
When the officers of the civilian army saw a large number of enemies emerging, their complexions became extremely ugly. The next moment, they drew out their swords and yelled loudly to gather their soldiers.
The militia soldiers who were in charge of protecting the transport team with the team had a team of thousands of people. They were scattered around the transport vehicle at the moment, and they were also panicked.
These militia soldiers are all young and strong recruited and reorganized from the rear. Except for some officers, most of them have no combat experience.
At this moment, facing a large number of enemies that suddenly appeared, some soldiers of the militia army were so frightened that their legs trembled and they couldn't stand still.
The young and strong members of the transportation team were even more frightened. Facing the roaring arrows, they ran away crying and howling.
"Don't mess up, don't mess up!"
"The carts are surrounded and formed!"
The civilian army officer who led the team was transferred from the Public Security Banner Regiment. He tried to maintain order and stood by for help.
However, what he has under his command are not well-trained elite soldiers, but some civilian army units that have not fought a major battle, and there are not many of them.
Those militia troops who participated in the battle at the Ganshui River have already moved in with the main force. They thought there was no danger behind, but who knew they were ambushed.
"Puff!"
"ah!"
The long transport convoy was attacked, and in the face of the howling arrows, the panicked young men and militia soldiers of the transport team fell in a pool of blood.
The miserable howling undoubtedly exacerbated the panic and panic of the crowd, and the officers couldn't gather them together at all.
"It's over, it's over."
Seeing the densely packed enemies rushing towards them, and seeing their chaotic young men and soldiers fleeing in all directions, the quartermaster's face turned pale.
"You, hurry up and report to the army, saying that we have been attacked by a large group of enemies, at least, at least tens of thousands!"
The quartermaster grabbed the soldier guarding him with a knife and said loudly.
"Master Wang, my mission is to protect you." The soldier said.
"I'm ordering you now, run this way and that way, hurry up and report!" the quartermaster snapped.
"But"
The soldier still wanted to speak, but was kicked hard by the quartermaster.
"Let the Lord Commander avenge us, our 17th transport team can't die in vain!" the quartermaster shouted.
"My lord, take care."
The soldier saw the young and strong militia soldiers who were constantly falling because of the arrows in the distance, gritted his teeth, turned and ran towards the mountain.
Seeing the soldiers who were stumbling and fleeing, the quartermaster took a deep breath and strode towards the convoy of arrows flying across.
The troops of the Desert Empire are all elite troops, while the 17th transport team of the Far East Army has only a thousand civilian soldiers to guard it.
The entire battle lasted less than a cup of tea, and more than a thousand militia soldiers and more than 800 young men were all slaughtered.
"Hahaha, we got rich!"
Seeing more than 300 carts full of food, meat and arrows, the soldiers of the desert empire also smiled.
After they voluntarily withdrew from the Ganshuihe battlefield, they kept holding their breath.
They are hidden in this area, and their mission is quite simple, that is, to cut off the logistics supplies of the Far Eastern Empire army.
After all, the army needs to consume a lot of food and fodder every day. Now that they cut off the logistics supplies of the Far Eastern Army, they also cut off the Far Eastern Army's retreat.
When the Far Eastern Army learns that the rear has been attacked, they will definitely send troops back to suppress it. They will set up an ambush at that time and wipe out some Far Eastern Empire troops.
By the time the Far Eastern Army realized that there were a large number of desert empire troops behind them, they had already run out of food.
At that time, the elite main force of their desert empire will not even need to fight, and the Far East Army will collapse due to lack of food. This is the plan of Marshal Ashnad of the Desert Empire to turn defeat into victory. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
