Chapter 180 Broch’s Messenger

"Okay!" Temagis only responded and hurriedly gathered his soldiers. He was equally anxious because there were many of his people in the camp outside.

"What are you all doing here! Go back to your tents, put on your armor, pick up your weapons, and be ready to obey the call and fight at any time!" Andres shouted to the soldiers surrounding the wooden wall: " Don’t worry, the leader of Temagis has already led his team to the rescue, and they will be able to drive away the enemy soon..."

Andres and his guards shouted over and over again until his voice became hoarse in the end, and then persuaded the panicked soldiers to go back.

At this time, Andres, who was standing on the tower of the outer camp, had time to watch the attacking Temagis team and think about where the enemies who attacked the camp came from?

Mercenaries in the camp? Now the mercenaries have been surrounded. In order to prevent them from leaving the camp to attack, Andres asked the soldiers to place torches in front of the trench of the inner camp and set up more than a dozen patrol teams. The mercenaries would be discovered if they made any changes. But so far, the mercenary camp has always been quiet. Even if a night attack outside caused some chaos in the outer camp, they have not seen any action.

The mercenaries who were originally hiding outside? If it was the enemy that attacked the transport team before, then what was Pulikas who was responsible for chasing them doing! But it is said that the mercenary team is not large in number, and it is impossible to stage such a big battle tonight! Could it be that there are other mercenary teams hiding outside? But since that loss, the surrounding areas have been searched for more than ten or twenty miles, and nothing unusual has been found!

Could it be an Aldie? However, when the team moved camp again and surrounded the mercenary camp, they specially strengthened the defense to the west and dug trenches after learning from the mercenaries. This was to completely cut off the connection between the Aldi people and the mercenaries and prevent them from raiding. Could it be that The soldiers defending the west relaxed their vigilance tonight, and the Ardeis broke into the camp? But these cowardly Aldi people did not provide assistance to the mercenaries when the coalition forces attacked the camp twice. How could they have the courage to launch a surprise attack in the dark after the army broke the camp? …

Andres thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't figure it out.

While he was monitoring the movements of the mercenaries in the inner camp, he was also paying close attention to the killing of enemies by Temagis outside the camp.

However, by the time the shouts of killing outside the camp stopped, the fires had been extinguished, and Temakis and his team were not seen returning.

Andres felt uneasy and hurriedly sent people out of the camp to investigate, only to receive the news: the enemy had fled, and Temagis was leading a team to rescue the wounded soldiers in the camp.

When there was a glimmer of light on the horizon, Temagis led his team back. The soldiers all looked smoky and burned, and they all carried the wounded on their backs.

As soon as he saw Andres, without waiting for him to ask, Temagis took the initiative and said: "By the time I arrived there with the soldiers, the enemies were already fleeing into the mountains to the west... I wasn't familiar with the terrain over the mountains, and it was night, so I didn't dare to pursue him for fear of being ambushed. Besides, there were wounded soldiers everywhere in the camp, and the soldiers were eager to rescue them from the burning camp...

Later, I asked the wounded soldiers that they did not know where the enemy came from. Most of them were attacked in their sleep. These enemies are very cunning. Many times they did not directly take away the lives of the soldiers, but cut off their hands and feet. As for the original wounded soldiers, they did not move at all and just burned the entire camp..."

Temagis said bitterly: "There are still thousands of wounded soldiers outside, and we have to send more people to bring them in."

"Do you know who the enemy is in the night attack?" Andres asked urgently.

"They should be mercenaries. Although I did not chase the enemies, I could still see through the firelight that many of them were wearing the unique armor of mercenaries. It was correct. And according to my judgment, this group of enemies was not There will be less than 2,000 people.”

"More than 2,000 mercenaries?!" Andres thought with a thought: "That's not the mercenary team that attacked our transport team before. It's probably another of their teams that was ambushed in the mountains here.

Calculating this, they will not have more than ten thousand troops stationed in this camp, and after two battles, the number of troops inside should be even less!

We must seize the time to launch a strong attack on this camp. As long as we eliminate their main force in this camp, the two teams wandering outside will be easy to deal with..."

When the leader of Segestika was talking excitedly, Temagis interrupted him: "Andres, don't forget, we have suffered a lot of casualties so far! We have 3,000 soldiers stationed outside. Many soldiers were completely unprepared when they were attacked by the enemy last night, and most of them were killed or injured. Counting the casualties from the first two attacks, our team's casualties were close to 9,000 people! In addition to the 9,000 people who resisted Scodis! Qi people, in the past 10 years or so, which battle has killed so many people?

These mercenaries are so tough! The soldiers had just experienced a hard battle yesterday and finally broke into the camp, only to find that there were trenches, traps and wooden walls inside. Their morale was greatly affected. In the evening, they witnessed the camp where they originally lived burned to ashes. Do you think they still have the fighting spirit to continue attacking in a short period of time?

Moreover, the camp was burned down and all the supplies inside were destroyed. Although you stored most of the food in the stockade to the east and did not suffer any major losses, all the spears and wooden shields stored in the camp were burned, as well as the axes, hammers, and saws we used to prepare the ladder wood. Tools were also burned, as were tents, blankets, pack cars and other military supplies. Many war horses tied to the camp outside were also lost... Andres, this battle has cost us a lot of money. We have lost too much——"

"No matter how heavy the losses are, we will continue to fight until all these mercenaries are wiped out!" Andres replied in a strong tone: "I will ask the tribe to prepare and send the lost materials as soon as possible. During this period, we can Let the soldiers rest and regain their fighting spirit. When everything is ready, we will attack immediately. We can't delay it any longer!"

"Andres, don't forget, there were more than 2,000 mercenaries who attacked us last night. If you include the mercenaries who attacked the transport team before, the number of enemies outside is already equal to that of our soldiers stationed in the stockade and guarding the grain road. The number of people is almost the same, how can we ensure the safety of the transport team? "

Temagis's reminder made Andres's face suddenly change. He had just been thinking about destroying the enemies in the camp and ignored the safety of the food road. Thinking of Pulicas' report a few days ago, they spent a lot of time After a lot of effort, the enemy was only driven into the territory of the Aldiyi people without any damage. Now there are more than 2,000 enemies wandering outside, which is really a big trouble!

Andres was a little irritable. He tried his best to calm down, and then wanted to find a good way to solve this problem as soon as possible from his previous experience of annihilating the remnants of Skodischi who fled into the mountains.

At this moment, he saw the two reinforcement commanders Broch and Mazie coming hurriedly.

Trouble has come again... Andres sighed softly in his heart, temporarily putting aside the problem of dealing with the wandering mercenaries, and braced himself to prepare for another upcoming challenge and convince them.

Unexpectedly, when Erics, the commander of Broch's reinforcements, saw him, he did not mention the night attack last night. Instead, he said in an extremely solemn tone: "Chief Andres, I just met my family." The messenger sent by the big leader, now I ask him to tell you."

After Elix finished speaking, he moved his body to the side, and a man came up from behind.

Andres was stunned, because he knew this man. He was Blix's eldest son and most likely Broch's next leader, Kumaris. This man in his 30s was dressed as a rider. He looked haggard, as if he had been rushing all the way, and he began to feel uneasy.

"Chief Andres! Chief Temagis!" After Cumaris saluted the two and said hello, without waiting for the other party to return the salute, he continued: "In the past few days, enemies have successively attacked my territory to the west of Brochi. In several tribes, many tribesmen were killed, a large amount of supplies were robbed, and many Skodisci slaves joined them... The situation was very critical, so my father asked me to come overnight and notify Elder Elix to lead the army immediately. The army returns, destroys the enemy, and ensures the security of the territory!”

Andres felt a sharp pain in his head again. With emotion, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Are there no other warriors in your tribe? Why do you have to transfer the troops here?"

"After the last tribal alliance meeting, my father kept his promise and sent 15,000 reinforcements to Andizetti and another 10,000 reinforcements to you. There were not many soldiers left in the territory.

It is said that the enemy numbered several thousand at the beginning. Now with the joining of those damn Skodisci slaves, the number may exceed 10,000. If we don't send troops back, I'm afraid the entire territory will be destroyed because of this enemy. The chaos will become even more difficult to clean up by then! "Kumaris explained with a worried look on his face. He concealed the fact that due to the general's negligence, more than 1,000 reinforcements sent to rescue the attacked tribe suffered a fiasco in an ambush.

What Kumaris said was reasonable, but Andres was not willing to let Broch's reinforcements leave at this time. He couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you call back the reinforcements in Andizeti? The cloth over there There were more Roach warriors and the road was smoother, making it easier to return.”

Andres's questioning tone made Kumaris feel unhappy. He lowered his face and said coldly: "The safety Andy mentioned is related to the survival of our entire Pannoni race, and this is just your Seger." The trouble Stika caused alone in the newly occupied land! Andres, as a big leader, you can’t even tell who is more important than others.”

"you--"

Kumaris sneered twice, "Haha". Now that the words had been spoken, he simply said more rudely: "Andres, your tribe is in danger, we Broch generously allocated 10,000 yuan for you. reinforcements, but you have led the army to stay here for so long. Not only did you fail to eliminate the enemies who are far smaller than you, but you suffered a lot of casualties. Our reinforcements from Broch alone suffered more than 2,000 casualties. This is already It will be difficult for us to explain to the families of the wounded and wounded soldiers when we return.

Now you actually want me to ignore the safety of my home and allow them to continue fighting here! Even if I really do this, the soldiers will probably make a fuss, and then you will really be in big trouble! "

"Kumaris, Andres has no intention of forcing all the Broch warriors to stay." Temagis quickly came out to smooth things over and changed the topic: "This group of enemies that appeared in your territory from where?"

"It's not clear yet. It may be the Ardei people, but they have been huddled along the Korana River in the past few years. I don't think they suddenly have the courage and strength to offend my Broch's territory.

They are more likely to be mercenaries here. I heard that your transport team was attacked before, and the camp was attacked by them last night. Of course, they can also send a team to Broch, which is not too far from here. Making trouble in the west of the territory——"

Andres took the opportunity and said loudly: "So these mercenaries are our big trouble. We should first eliminate the main force of mercenaries in this camp, and then divide our forces to chase down the enemies left outside, so that our territory can truly be protected." Safety!"

Kumaris glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "I just came here to tell you. Next, I have to urge the soldiers to pack their luggage and help the wounded soldiers. Time is too tight, so I will leave first."

With that he turned and walked away, followed closely by Erlix.

Andres tried to call out to the other party several times, but finally gave up. He stood there blankly, with only one thought in his mind: What to do after Broch's reinforcements left?

Broch sent 10,000 reinforcements, including more than 2,000 wounded, accounting for one-third of the total strength of the coalition. Once they leave, excluding the 3,000 and thousands of wounded soldiers sent to the rear to protect the grain roads, Andres's fighting force is only 12,000 to 3,000. This small force can attack The entire campground?

"Chief Andres." Salomis, the leader of the Mazie reinforcements, said, "I'm sorry, but like Elix, I have to lead the soldiers back home today."

"You -" Andres felt a surge of anger rushing to his forehead. He turned back and glared at Salomis: "You, Maziyi, are also going to violate the alliance's agreement?!"

"Chief Andres, what are you talking about!" Salomis retorted with a look of displeasure: "After the alliance meeting, Chief Maitilis immediately asked me to lead 10,000 reinforcements to help you get here. Combat.

It has been more than a month since Maziyi's soldiers left their hometown. They experienced many hard battles and suffered more than 2,000 casualties. They finally captured the mercenary outlying camp and let the enemy know how powerful the Pannoni were... We Mazie has done enough for you Segestika! I thought we had concluded our agreement and now it was time to go home! "
