The Lion King of Middenland, Warhammer

() "The Rick depot that I am currently managing has about one crossbowman who is less than a squadron, including half a squadron of archers, a small squadron of crossbowmen, and a half squadron of long-barreled musketeers, plus two squadrons of short halberdiers, fifteen Musketeers, there are a total of more than 180 guards. The defense is relatively good in the military depot in this rear area. Of course, this is because the main rear hospital of our expeditionary army is located here."

The fat man in a leather robe paused, took a sip of wine to moisten his throat.Hyde frowned subconsciously. This was because in the young man's subconscious mind, the number of troops seemed too small. In the era and planet of his previous life, millions of tens of millions of people were invested. The war has only been in the past few decades, so what are these people?Although he can't remember the past life clearly, his subconscious mind still makes him feel too little, so he inadvertently showed his expression.

"However, this is not a bad thing, because most of the wounded and sick sent here are recovering well. There are many warriors in it, and there are dozens of knights from various countries like you. All of these people have sidearms. There are a lot of weapons for the guards in the military station. At present, among the more than 700 wounded and sick, once the enemy is besieged, more than [-] to [-]% can take bows, crossbows and muskets to fight against the wall. We have gunpowder bows and arrows here, and the ammunition is enough! Besides, injuries The members have recovered well, and there is no problem charging in the battle. Isn't Your Excellency Hyde the best role model? Haha."

The cheerful fat man named Mount winked at Hyde and laughed.

"Your Majesty Mount, you are over-rewarded. This is what I should do."

Hyde responded to the sharp and fat supervisor's praise with a modest smile, which made the young man's face a little red, because he fell from the horse, hit his head and lay down in the barracks.Although I hadn't realized my mind at that time, it didn't seem like a glorious deed, and it seemed that it couldn't be compared with the warriors who killed and injured the enemy on the battlefield.

"As long as we are well-prepared and don't give them a chance to sneak attack, I don't worry about the enemy besieging here. The Chaos Beastmen have never been very good besiegers, they don't have the equipment to siege the city. I remember 31 years ago, we were in Talabakran The Principality was surrounded by Chaos Beastmen in a town. At that time, we only had 500 people, and the town residents were no more than 6000, but we withstood the siege of more than [-] Chaos Beasts for three days. Thousands of Chaos Beasts were captured by us. Killed in ditches and on ramparts. I remember when you and your battery alone shot down hundreds of ramhorns, your bronze snakes burning red in battle, sometimes almost Stick to them and fire."

Old Loren put down the bread and made his point in his heavy, strong voice.This immediately caused Hyde to have a lot of respect for the fat supervisor in front of him.My guess was indeed right. Before I was born, this chubby military depot supervisor was already an outstanding soldier.Of course, those who can fight side by side with his powerful Grandpa Loren will naturally not be weak, which is also to be expected.

"What I am worried about is that the enemy may attack our advancing supply convoy. This is hundreds of leagues away from the front line, and the guards of the supply convoy may not be well-prepared. If they are surprised by the beastmen without warning, Then it is very bad. For this expedition, the entire empire sent 10 troops to the front line of Kislev, and the supply convoy is the lifeline of the Northern Expedition Army, and it is impossible not to take precautions."

The old knight with white hair and red armor paused, drank a large glass of wine again, and then raised his concerns.Hyde didn't say a word, and listened attentively. For himself who just recovered his sanity and his mind was still full of blanks, experience and knowledge are extremely important. There is no need to be meaningless about things that you don't understand. cut in.

"Loren, I understand what you mean, but I am more optimistic about this. Our Rickland is directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, and all the supply convoys of the principalities are organized by the generals of our imperial court for centralized protection. Only They will only set off when the horse convoy and camel team gather more than 4000 or more than [-] horses and camels. Each escort team will have more than [-] people, composed of soldiers selected by each principality and Rick, and the commanders are all Soldiers with sufficient experience will generally not give the enemy a chance to attack by surprise."

The fat supervisor named Mount responded to Loren's question. In order to make it clearer, he pushed away a few plates, used small bread as a military station, and used goose bones as a convoy, and laid out a schematic diagram.

"Loren, as you can see, from the territory of the empire to the central part of Kislev, our army has set up 35 depots, with an average of [-] leagues each. In between, there will be half a cavalry squad every seven leagues. The outpost is equipped with magic signal rockets, wolf smoke and carrier pigeons. They scout and patrol the possible movements of the enemy at any time. The supply convoy advances at the speed of passing through a military depot every day, and must camp at the military depot every night to replenish the horse feed and take away the recovery Good wounded soldiers and repaired weapons also bring new supplies to the military depot. They strictly follow the army's regulations. They release cavalry detachments from the front, rear and both wings to investigate every day, and keep six to seven scouts within a radius of five or six leagues of the convoy. It is not easy to attack our escort of Rick by surprise!"

The fat executive in a leather robe raised his voice, and excitedly tapped the goose bone on the table, shaking the wine in the wooden glass.It can be seen that this honorary knight directly under the imperial court and the imperial court of the Reikland is full of trust and pride in the strict organization and discipline of the imperial army. Unknowingly, even his curly mustache is more curled up. Taller.

"Mount, you are still so good at numbers and technology. No wonder you can become an officer of the imperial court. In this regard, I cannot compare with you."

Old Loren smiled and raised his glass to the old friend in front of him.

"Your bravery is incomparable to me. My big brother, I still remember how you stood on the city wall and cut off the head of the Chaos Tauren 31 years ago. That blow shocked us The hearts of all the brothers, also let the beasts of chaos be terrified! At that time, I was just a young boy, and you were already a famous blood sword warrior, but you were like that to every brother Sincerely, the starting point of our acquaintance and friendship began at that time. In that difficult defense battle, your sword of God saved my life, and I will never forget that moment."

Mount replied to Loren with a solemn and excited voice, and the two people's wine glasses collided firmly. Hyde noticed that the fat executive's eyes were a little moist. Is this the feeling of comrades-in-arms?Hyde couldn't help being a little moved.

"Your Excellency, we have seen our smoke rising from the northwest! There may be a convoy coming down from the north that has been attacked!"

Suddenly, a loud roar from the watchtower interrupted Hyde's thoughts. He looked to the northwest direction in surprise. Looking around, there was indeed a faint column of black smoke slowly rising, which made the young man's heart ache. Excited again, he couldn't help but clenched the hilt of his sword.

"Quickly, determine the position and issue the alarm signal! I will come up to observe the situation!"

The fat supervisor on the opposite side hurriedly stood up, raised his neck and gave instructions to the sentinel above.His movements were unexpectedly fast, he ran over almost immediately, stepped on the escalator of the watchtower and climbed up.Old Loren and Hyde followed immediately.

The wooden watchtower is twenty-nine feet high and is located on the commanding height of the military depot. It is the most majestic building in the entire military depot, with a good view.The watchtower at the top of the wooden tower has six or seven square meters, and it is equipped with muskets, brass tube telescopes, conch ships and signal flags.

A ring of spears is inserted outside the triangular ceiling of the watchtower, which may be used to guard against the attacks of flying enemies such as Harpies.On the side wall of the watchtower, there are still several cages for homing pigeons, and now they seem to feel the ominous atmosphere, cooing and flapping their wings.

The fat supervisor named Mount leaned on the binoculars, nervously watching the movements in the northwest.The sentry stepped aside and blew a long conch horn.Although Hyde didn't have a telescope, he could still see a lot of faint black spots on the northwest plain, gathered into a patch, and surrounded by a white line.A few straight columns of black smoke rising from between the white lines, this is probably what the sentinel called wolf smoke, and the white line should be the besieged convoy, small black and gray pieces are constantly impacting the white line, it seems that the situation is very serious Dangerous look.

"Loren, come and observe. I think this group of enemies may have about a thousand people, and more than half of them are cavalry or centaurs. It is not easy to deal with in plain field battles."

The fat supervisor in the leather robe handed the binoculars to Loren, and the old white-haired knight took the binoculars, stared at them roughly, and frowned suddenly.

"Mount, our convoy has very few people. There are only twenty or thirty carriages. The situation is very critical! Judging from the white hood, it should be a small medical team coming down from the front to transport the wounded. This is very serious. It is difficult to resist the attack of the chaotic beast. I think we need to go out to meet it."

Following this heavy voice, Old Loren pointed his great sword to the northwest, pointing out his opinion.At this time, there was a lot of noise under the watchtower. Many soldiers who were slightly injured had already heard the siren call, picked up their weapons and led their horses, and crowded into the small highland square under the watchtower. There were many nuns and nurses in white robes. He also squeezed among them, watching the watchtower with anxious eyes.

"Loren, I may not agree with you this time."

It came from a fat executive named Mount, whose pitch changed.This made old Loren's face serious, and also surprised Hyde. He couldn't understand, how could he stand by and watch when his comrades were in danger?

"We can't go to battle. Since the army of chaotic beasts has infiltrated the rear guard and appeared around our military station, then my task is to protect this military station. I will send messengers and carrier pigeons everywhere as police reports to other military stations. Make a reminder, guard our wooden walls firmly with all your strength, and prevent a single enemy from invading this sacred imperial camp. These are my duties as the honorary knight of Rick, the head of the Imperial Expeditionary Force No. 19 forward barracks. Other than that, I won't take any chances!"

The short and fat supervisor firmly expressed his opinion. The voice was different from before, full of an unquestionable feeling.But this made Hyde's heart agitated. He was a passionate person, and he couldn't bear to see death without help. Mount's words made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Dear Lord Mount, I have a different opinion on your opinion. The comrades in distress in the distance have sent us urgent calls for help. Are we watching them being torn to pieces by the beasts of chaos? They will hope Trust us, shall we live up to the call for help from our comrades-in-arms, hiding in holes like cowardly badgers and mice and pretending to be blind and deaf?"

Hyde puffed out his chest and asked the fat middle-aged man in front of him without hesitation.The young knight's voice was not loud, but he had a special strength because of his anger, which seemed to make the entire small observation platform tremble.He has never been someone who likes to hide his feelings, he will say whatever he thinks!
