Plane Overlord of Rebirth

Chapter 78 The Battle of the Sentinel Battalion
The strategy adopted by the Northwest Army was very successful.The army firmly guarded the important cities in the occupied area, without retreating a single step, while the vanguard battalion continued to harass and attack in the rear as a guerrilla force, so that the Crusaders could not fully attack.Such a strategy allowed the Crusades to fail to achieve an inch of merit in the month-long war.

In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the work undertaken by the Pioneer Battalion can be said to be the most important part of the Northwest Army's strategy.And such an important job is also accompanied by very big risks.If the thousands of fighters in the Vanguard Battalion move too much and let the Crusaders catch their tails and wipe them out, then the main force of the Northwest Army will have to make a choice: either they will fight the Crusaders in a decisive battle, or they will fight against the Crusaders. Withdrew from the occupied area and returned to the federal territory to stand by for help.No matter which choice it is, it is very bad, so the pioneer camp has to lose.

The Vanguard Battalion not only had to preserve itself, but also put enough pressure on the Crusaders in the rear, otherwise the existence of the Vanguard Battalion would have little meaning.And the operation that Chen Ning was ordered to participate in this time was also the operation of the Vanguard Battalion to put pressure on the Crusaders!
Following a full squadron under General Bell, the total number of officers and soldiers was just 60, plus 61 people from Chenning had sneaked close to a crusader sentry camp.

This Crusader sentry camp is just above the Crusaders' food road.The Vanguard Battalion's harassment of the Crusaders' food roads was very effective. They had just burned a batch of Crusaders' food a week ago, forcing the Crusaders to suspend their offensive against the main force of the Northwest Army.After that, the fanatics and nobles of the Crusaders obviously learned from the painful experience and were unwilling to let this kind of thing happen again.They took measures, not only dispatching a large army to guard when the grain and grass were transported, but also setting up sentry camps one after another along the route that the food escort team passed. As soon as they found the enemy situation, they would immediately report and wander around. The Knights of the army will rush over as quickly as possible to destroy the enemy troops who dare to harass the food road.

The measures taken by the Crusaders still had some effect. For a whole week, the vanguard did not achieve any effective results.As a result, the Crusaders could unscrupulously launch attacks on the main force of the Northwest Army. In order to avoid losses, the Northwest Army had already abandoned two cities in a row and handed them over to the newcomers of Promi.It is said that Marshal Alberia, the governor of the Northwest Army, was so furious that he ordered General Bell to put enough pressure on the Crusaders within a week, and even disintegrate the Crusaders' recent offensive in full swing.

The squadron that Chen Ning is in now shoulders the important task of opening up the situation.The order given by General Bell was to ask Chen Ning and his squadron to pull out the three nearby sentinel camps within two days.

"Master Edward, please use magic to open the way. We don't have many people, and there are at least thirty or forty people stationed in the opposite camp. It is unlikely that we will succeed in directly attacking their camp, and the loss will be relatively large. Therefore, this This battle still depends on you." Lieutenant Dobney said to Chen Ning.Dobney was the squadron leader of this squadron and the commander of the battle.Nominally, Chen Ning has to obey his orders, but Dobney also knows that he must be polite to a mage. After all, Chen Ning alone is stronger than his entire squadron to some extent. important.

Dobney is very polite, and Chen Ning will naturally not be arrogant: "Okay, I will definitely do my best. However, Lieutenant, you are the commander, so you have the final say."

Lieutenant Dobney was also relieved to hear that Chen Ning did not rely on his status as a mage to point fingers. He was afraid that these arrogant mages would not obey the arrangement, and he would be in a big headache.

"We have already killed the outlying sentinels of the crusaders. They will not have too tight defense in about an hour. I hope you can use spells to open their gates when we charge, and then we Provide some magic support when entering their camp, can it be done?"

Chen Ning nodded, and Dobney said happily: "Then I will trouble you. Arnie, your team will follow Mr. Edward to protect his safety, and the others will follow me. Master Edward, as long as you hear us charge trumpet, let's start to act."

Dobney left with his men, not knowing where the cat was preparing to attack.And the team that stayed behind to protect Chen Ning, commanded and found a relatively hidden location, ready to wait for the order to attack.

Chen Ning's spell range is much farther than that of ordinary bows and arrows, and it is even farther than that of composite strong bows.With Chen Ning's current level, the power of his fireball technique can be maximized at a distance of less than 100 meters, and it is still lethal at a distance of about 300 meters.

Not long after staying in the hiding place, the horn of charge rang in his ears.Chen Ning's spirit was shaken, and when he looked up, he saw Dobney leading nearly fifty of his men rushing towards the gate of the Crusaders' sentry camp.

The gate of the camp was closed tightly, and Chen Ning could see behind the gate from a condescending height, the sentinels were gathering.There are still some soldiers standing on the watchtower, winding their bows and arrows, ready to launch a powerful blow when Dobney's men approach.Indeed, although this sentinel camp with 40 people stationed is small, it has all internal organs. The fortifications are well established, and it is difficult to find any loopholes.Even if all sixty of Dobney's squadron were in battle, it would not be an easy task to break through. Even if they captured this camp, they would probably suffer heavy casualties.

However, now that Chen Ning is present, everything has to be explained in another way.

Before the sentinel on the watchtower opened his bow and arrow to shoot, a fireball from Chen Ning flew over. At a distance of more than 200 meters, the explosive power of the fireball technique is not inferior to modern artillery at all.The watchtower made of wooden structure is not strong enough to resist such an attack.The watchtower was baptized by Chen Ning's fireball technique and collapsed to the ground.Most of the sentries on the watchtower died under the power of the fireball technique, and a small number of those who survived fell to the ground or were crushed to death after the watchtower collapsed.

Under the attack of the spell, the sentinels of the Crusaders seemed a little flustered, but Chen Ning didn't care about anything else. Just after a fireball was released, Chen Ning started to cast the spell again. This time his goal was to Sentinels assembled behind the gates of the camp!
