Heart of Empire

Even after Paran's march, even Palan's face was slightly tired.

But rushing is effective. It was originally expected that at least the enemy would arrive at noon on the 24th at least, and then it would be possible to find abnormalities. Even with good luck, this time is likely to be delayed until the afternoon.

However, they had now reached their destination before the sun on the 24th had risen.

That's a place marked on the military map as Hill No. 37.

This desert is not an endless, sweeping plain. On the contrary, there are many hills of various undulations.

These small mounds and sand dunes are not large, and it is not too laborious to climb up and down, but it is enough for people to easily see far away.

In the military, such topographical features are quite well used by those sand robbers. Relying on their familiarity with the desert, they spotted their prey in advance, and then suddenly rushed out from the back of a sand dune, often being able to catch the attacked prey and win.

As for the so-called No. 37 mound valley, it is an area composed of a continuous mound of mounds. Below these mounds and dunes, there is a valley with a slightly lower terrain.

Please report that the sand robber group in the barren land is stationed in this valley.

Just looking at the information and the map, Palan hadn't seen anything. But when he visited the scene, he found that these sand robbers did have their unique side in using the geographical conditions of this special desert area.

They cleverly used the terrain, not only to create a relatively comfortable camp, but also quite hidden. Geographical conditions concealed their traces very well. If they were not known in advance and made a special investigation, it would be difficult to find the enemy's traces even if they were close.

As he thought about it, Palan suddenly felt a wind blowing, with a whisper of Philmino in the wind: "The outer whistle has been cleaned up, and the teams in all four directions have been in place. Can launch an attack. "

Wind Signal is a good thing for communication on the battlefield. Of course, Palan with the mage, of course, it is impossible to abandon this convenient spell.

"How long do we have?" Palan asked.

Two minutes later, another wind came with news. Firmino said: "Fifteen minutes, and at most fifteen minutes, those pirates will find their outposts are missing."

Not much time, Palan said to the mage next to him: "Give orders to the leading officers in the other four directions, and after five minutes, launch the attack on time!"

The time now is the darkest moment before dawn. However, in the clear cloudless night sky, moonlight and starlight can provide some help in vision.

At least, don't reach your fingers.

Looking down the sand dunes, where the robbers' camp was. They were quite cautious, not even the glimmer of the candlelight at this time.

But Palan knew that his prey was below, and the news that Major Firmino had personally entered the field to investigate should be reliable enough.

Five minutes passed. Folding the pocket watch in his hand, Palan pulled out his long sword. The sharp long sword reflected a white light under the moonlight, shining on the sand, passing by. And he took a deep breath, and then exhausted his whole body, shouting: "Offense! All offense!"

The original quiet desert was instantly awakened by a shout of killing! The dust flying from the steps on the ground is clearly visible even at night.

After Paran commanded the army to launch the offensive, the burglars quickly responded—but the reaction was slightly worse.

They were clearly unprepared for the sudden attack. Frightened voices came in chaos, and a flash of light flashed. Some robbers held out the torch and wanted to see what happened, but they were greeted by a night of fire with a crossbow covered with fire.

The crossbowmen have no way of keeping their shooting accuracy under such dark night. However, Palan had never sought this out. The concentrated crossbowmen need to do nothing more than cover the sand robber camp with their rockets before their comrades rush into the enemy's camp.

Do not ask how many people will be killed, but seek to expand the area covered as much as possible, and expand the offensive as much as possible to cause more intense psychological pressure on the enemy. At the same time, the fire caused by the crossbow with flames firing on the burglar tent can also further cause the chaos of the enemy.

After firing the rocket, the crossbowmen continued to shake the rocker on the crossbow, winded, and then continued shooting, in order to try to shoot as many crossbow arrows as possible before the friendly entered the enemy camp.

The overwhelming arrows shot down, showing the fast and powerful firing speed of the crossbowman.

In fact, although the crossbowmen's coverage shots are quite intensive, the actual damage caused by them is not too much.

In the full night, in this case of vision, only cover-type strikes can be performed, and it is impossible to pursue a hit rate. In fact, whether it was the first round of rockets or the subsequent crossbow shots, most of the arrows were thrown into the air except for some unlucky guys who were shot and injured.

But this is enough to cause panic among those burglars.

Under the intensive arrow rain, a considerable number of sand robbers just shrank back out of the camp just after carrying weapons. So did the officers of the Sand Band.

And this directly led to these robbers missing the last chance.

If they could organize the defense first before the army led by Palan rushed in, they would not have any chance to resist the impact. As long as it resists for a while, and then finds a mount and a camel, with excellent maneuverability, it is likely to be someone who can escape.

However, they didn't even have a decent line of defense at the moment.

Paran was a soldier, with two brigades of pure swordsmen, rushing in from the front of the Sand Pirate Camp.

There was no impediment to this process. The robbers who had been attacked and suppressed by the arrow bolts fired by the crossbowmen had no way to stop Paran ’s advance.

The two-handed swordsmen gathered in a standard squad, staring at each tent and rushing forward. Several torches were thrown into the tent, the camp was lit, and they stood outside. Sand thieves that can't bear the flames, as soon as they come out of the camp, there will be three or five big swords splitting their heads and covering their faces.

Some even couldn't wait for the burglars to run out. The captains of the leading teams were more irritable, and they would directly command their men, holding the big sword and chopping the tent. Regardless of where he cut it, even the tent and everything in it were chopped together.

When encountering some large tents, there may be multiple robbers in it, or they may be members of some robbers, the pure swordsmen will directly cut the tent and rush in to fight the enemy. And the robbers who have lost their mounts are probably not even equipped, how can they be the opponents of the menacing pure swordsmen?

In this case, few robbers could rush out of the tent alive.

Paran led the crowd forward. In fact, the only soldiers he could command were the dozens of people who were with him. The night not only caused trouble to the enemy, but also caused Paran's command system to be almost paralyzed in the melee. Under these conditions, he could not command the army like an arm.

But it is not needed.

At the beginning of the battle, the war situation had deflected to his side to a considerable extent. The burglars under attack were completely unprepared.

Moreover, the pure swordsman troops are also quite old-fashioned elites. They have fought many battles following the Dien Nanzheng battle. From officers to ordinary soldiers, they are quite rich in war experience. They are fully capable of fighting in small teams without the unified command, relying on the leadership of officers at all levels.

What's more, they are not completely lost command now. At least, before the war, Paran gave each unit a clear command. The task of this frontal attacking force, which he personally commanded, was to rush into the enemy battalion, and to expand the chaos as much as possible and the killing effect.

The first and second phases of this mission have already been completed, and the rest depends on how many enemies they can kill in the dark.

And Palan himself, as far as possible, in the process of advancing, maintain the unity of the troops, do not kill and kill in the night, run too far. At the same time, he is also leading the team that he gathered, and continues to kill forward.

He didn't know where he was at night. But he knew it would be right to kill all the way forward. Moving forward, I can always kill the camps of these sand bands. By then, the mission of this part of the army he personally leads will be perfectly achieved.

Twenty minutes after the battle began, Palan encountered the first wave of friendly forces.

Before the battle began, he divided his army into four parts and launched an attack from all four directions. He himself led the army to come in from the east direction, and the one in front of it was naturally the offensive force from the other direction.

"Which part are you?" Palan could not know every soldier, and the team in front of him was only two or thirty people, and there were no senior officers.

He did not recognize every soldier and officer, but the soldiers and officers basically recognized his general. The first lieutenant replied, "We are the subordinates of Colonel Geb, who have separated from the brigade in the previous battle."

Gebu is the team coming from the west, and Paran came in from two opposite directions.

The finding of the Gebu people at this location basically means that this camp of robbers has been killed by the troops from both directions.

Palan stroked the silver mask on his face and asked the soldiers ahead: "Do you know where your big troops are?"

"I don't know where it is ..." said the Lieutenant. "But, I know the general direction."

As soon as Paran thought about it, he planned to take the team to meet with Gebu.

So, after about ten minutes, Paran led the Bailai people and found Gebu. And the timing of his arrival was also very coincident, and a hard bone was fixed on the grid.

That seemed to be the leader of a sand robber group. In the chaotic situation, he even gathered up a hundred people, fighting against a mixed army of sword dancers and pure swordsmen led by Gebu. It's right. And Palan's direction is just behind the bandits!

What else is there to say? With a roar, Palan went straight to the front and killed the soldiers with his troops.

Anyway, he has also been promoted to the level of high-level knights, the sword is cut, and few people are his enemy. Occasionally, when I encountered a few piercing robbers, he could also make two moves in his hands, and he would usually be surrounded by the guards who followed him.

When the robber cavalry lost its mount, the combat itself was average. Fighting with the mixed army carried by Gebu had already had a hard time, not to mention the fact that he was led by Palan himself Assault of troops.

They had collapsed after five minutes. The leader was personally cut off by Paran, and other robbers died and fled. UU 看书 www.uukanshu.com

After winning the battle, Palan watched him and the soldiers of Geb, showing signs of chasing out of the army, and quickly shouted: "Don't chase! Don't chase!"

"What's wrong?" Gebu asked a **** with a rag he didn't know where to find it, rubbing his machete in his hand, and asked Palan, "Why didn't the general let the soldiers chase him?"

"I need this power to come together," Palantau said. "I'm a little worried."

"Worried?" Gebu frowned. "Although there is no way to get an overview, there should be no suspense in this battle? Are you still worried?"

"Worry about what's going on with Col. Northman," Palan said.

Northman was an elf sword dancer and the commander of an attacking force in the other direction. He led a Sword Dancer Brigade and a Pure Swordsman Brigade, with two Squadron Wolf Riders, carrying a very important job-after the raid began, the first time to find the corral in the Sand Pirate Camp, This is where the Sand Pirates concentrated their camel mounts and occupied them.

According to the prior plan, after completing this task, Lieutenant Colonel Norman should put five red flare bullets into the sky company to provide positions for other troops to support.

However, it was almost an hour now that the battle had begun, however, the red flare was still not visible in the sky.
