Chapter 604: Famous General of the Empire
No. 1 general
Ilea later learned from Kamzi and others that the 10,000 troops brought by Marquis Cullen now had less than 3,000 people left, and these 3,000 people had basically lost their ability to fight.
The good news is that most people are just hungry. If they can eat enough and rest for two or three days, they should be able to calm down and get back to fighting.
The bad news is that the dwarves probably won't give them this time.
But no matter what, the female lord decided to evacuate the survivors from the valley first.
In addition to Yinsong and his more than 100 warriors, Miss Rabbit sent an additional 300 men and 200 horses, and then moved most of the people to a safe area outside the valley before dawn.
They were given food and clean water, and the herbalists in the army and the monks from the Shuanghui Religion were given to treat their illnesses.
The rescued people were all grateful to the female lord and Saturday, and some people cried loudly after escaping from this death valley.
It wasn't until the last person was out of danger that the female lord breathed a sigh of relief. However, before she could sit down and rest, Du Lun came to find her again.
The former captain of the royal guard said straight to the point, "We don't have much supplies."
"Um?"
"We carried a total of ten days of food rations into the mountains this time. Today is already the fourth day. We originally had six days of supplies left, but now we have three thousand more mouths. The remaining food can only last for four more days at most. sky."
"When will the next supply be delivered?" the female lord asked.
"We made an appointment with Morse for the day after tomorrow. He sent rangers to wander behind us. So far, no trace of those savages has been found."
"So new food and military supplies will be delivered the day after tomorrow. Do we have anything to worry about?" Miss Rabbit asked doubtfully.
Du Lun shook his head, but his expression was a little solemn, "I don't know, it's just a hunch that something is not right about those dwarves ambushing on the mountain."
The former captain of the Imperial Guard paused, then continued, "If I were their commander, I would not give up the blockade of the valley so easily.
"And when we just evacuated people outside, they didn't make any movement and didn't push the rocks down."
"Hmm, could it be because it was so dark that they didn't notice?"
In fact, after saying this, the female lord herself realized that this situation was unlikely.
When she sent Yinsong and others into the valley before, it was okay. There were hundreds of people and war horses coming and going behind them. Even in the middle of the night, it was impossible for the people on the mountain to know anything.
However, after she discussed it with Duren for a while, she couldn't figure out what those dwarves wanted to do. They were so kind and refused to eat the meat that was on their lips, and returned the three thousand people to her.
In addition, it was almost dawn at this time, so the female lord could only put this problem aside and focus on the upcoming battle.
As the first rays of sunlight break through the clouds in the morning, they light up the horizon.
Shuangxiujiao also released six DJI drones. The six soldiers carefully controlled these iron birds, letting them take off and fly towards the nearby mountain peaks.
Searching for enemies lurking within.
In addition, Greta's mice are also busy. Although they cannot transmit the images they see back in real time like drones, they cannot fly as fast or as high as drones.
But the advantage is that he is a resident of this mountain, so he is more familiar with it, and even if he is discovered, it will not arouse suspicion.
Greta was also aroused to win and lose. She seemed to want to compete with the monks in Shuangxiu to see who could find the target first.
Not long after the results were over, the rats had something to gain. According to the intelligence they brought back, a force in the southeast was secretly evacuating.
However, the mice did not know how many people there were in that army. On the other hand, the drone on the other side, although a little late, was condescending and also noticed the movements of the group.
And it can be clearly seen from the feedback screen that it was a group of dwarf warriors, with a number of between one hundred and two hundred people. They retreated in an orderly manner without any panic. It was obviously premeditated.
Then another drone also searched for a small group of dwarves in the opposite direction, and they were also evacuating.
The female lord made a prompt decision and sent two cavalrymen to pursue them. Before setting off, Miss Rabbit also lent a wireless walkie-talkie to each of the two knights leading the team.
This allowed them to keep in touch with the army at all times, and at the same time ordered the drones that discovered the dwarves to lock onto targets on the ground and move with them, while the remaining drones continued to perform search missions.
Miss Rabbit doesn’t understand what information warfare is.
After all, in another universe, the first information war would not happen until the beginning of the twenty-first century.
A certain superpower found a non-existent excuse and declared war on a certain regional power. In less than a month, it defeated basically all of the latter's official armed forces and controlled its entire territory.
At that time, the precision strikes carried out by a certain superpower in conjunction with satellite systems and the degree of informatization of its troops really amazed the world, and they followed suit one after another.
As for falling into the vast ocean of people's war after the war, that is a story for another day.
Of course there are no satellites on the female lord's side, and the communication equipment used for communication is only the simplest civilian wireless walkie-talkie with no encrypted channels.
There are no missiles mounted on the drone. In short, compared to that world-famous battle of the century, her side is much more crude.
But it can’t hold up against the more primitive equipment on the other side.
According to the standards of the Bratis continent, the dwarves are actually elite troops. Everyone wears armor and carries a battle axe on their waists. The leading dwarf commander is also equipped with a short horse.
But marching and fighting are not much different from hundreds of years ago. Although it is easier to command by dividing into small teams, it is just to execute the previously formulated plan.
When the time came, they saw that all the imperial people in the valley had left, so they also began to retreat. As for whether they were chased, they didn't know at all.
After all, they didn't cheat like Miss Rabbit in fighting. They directly opened the global vision, and there was a fog of war wherever they went.
Moreover, once the troops were separated, they could not contact each other unless they met again. Even if someone discovered danger, they could not notify their companions.
So they just fought each other, and the result was of course imaginable.
The dwarves never dreamed that in such a large mountain range, they retreated separately and each went in different directions. They were found one by one by the opponent, and sent troops to chase them.
After a troop has killed someone, they don't even need to come back. The female lord immediately issued a second order, asking them to continue chasing new targets.
She was able to perform micro-management in a medieval war. As the battle went on, Miss Rabbit, who was a little nervous at first, gradually relaxed.
She wondered if it was not difficult to lead the army in battle, or if she actually had an amazing talent for command and was a hidden famous general?
