The Witcher: Son of the Planes

The Principality of Denton—Northern Grassland Border

Since Tie Le asked the Great Elder for instructions, he has become more clear about the purpose of this trip south. The fat man (Justin) in the south is very annoying. Recently, the two sides have fought several battles on the border with no outcome. The Principality of Denton and There has been no latest news on how far the battle in the Burgundy Duchy has gone.

But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. After reviewing the warriors of the tribe for the last time, looking at the young faces one after another, Tie Le gave a ruthless order to invade the Principality of Denton at midnight.

I don’t know how many warriors will come back from this southern invasion. Tie Le sighed inwardly, but as a superior, he considered more the interests of the entire tribe. If he did not consume some tribal warriors, if there was really not enough food, the turmoil and losses caused would not be much less than the southern invasion.

…

Tiger Regiment camp.

"Captain, I think the Yigler tribe opposite is determined to invade our country. Recently, the scouts from both sides have fought many times, and judging from the number of soldiers that have been scouted, our side is less than the other side. Will it be possible? Will..." Attendant Guanhui reported.

"What are you afraid of? Even if you have more people, you may not be able to win. The people of the northern grasslands are short of food and clothing, and they are also in short supply of weapons and equipment. In a head-to-head confrontation, they won't be able to take advantage." Justin Howard said nonchalantly.

"However, we cannot take it lightly. Arrange the soldiers to strengthen their defenses and be ready for battle at any time." Justin ordered.

…

It was night, two kilometers outside the Tiger Corps camp.

The Yigele tribe was very well prepared and dispatched five times as many scouting horses to ensure that no one slipped through the net and quietly annihilated all the Tiger Legion sentries.

"Clan leader, if you go any further, you will definitely be discovered." said the warrior of the clan.

At this point, there is no need to cover up anymore, just activate it directly. Tiele told Battle (the chief warrior of the tribe): "After a while, after the tribe launches an attack, you lead 3,000 warriors, one man and two horses, to rush into the rear, burn their granaries and then retreat."

Barter took the order and went down to prepare.

Tie Le calmed down and gave the order with a wave of his hand: "Attack, target the Tiger Legion camp."

…

Because of the advantage of being located in the grassland, the tribe has never been short of horses, which makes every tribal warrior have extraordinary riding skills. Although it is night, under the moonlight and stars in the sky, the visibility is not low, and there is no impact at all. With the speed of the horse, very quickly, the warriors in front were fighting against the Tiger Legion.

…

Tiger Legion.

Although Justin Howard acted very unconcerned during the day, he had been in the army for a long time and could not tolerate any sloppiness. He did not sleep very hard. As soon as the Eagle tribe attacked and killed him, he woke up and immediately called the attendants to make arrangements to meet the enemy. matters.

There is no large city on the northern border of the Principality of Denton. The Tiger Legion has been camping in the wild. The logistics and military supplies office is located in the small northern town of Plimpton City, less than 20 kilometers away from the Legion camp. There are few residents in the city, but there are many businessmen from all over the country. Because the Tiger Legion was nearby, there were not many city defense troops, only 500 people, and only more than 200 were on duty that night.

…

When Battle led the Yigler tribe warriors to advance 100 meters into Plimpton City, the city defense army discovered the enemy attack. By the time the alarm bell was sounded, it was already too late. With only 200 people, they could not stop the surprise attack of 5,000 people.

There was a sea of ​​fire in the city, and the shouts of killing were loud, but Battelle did not loot the shops too much. Instead, he went straight to the destination - the Tiger Army's military supplies department, leaving the necessary manpower to guard the retreat. Battelle quickly found the military supplies. at.

"Whoosh, whoosh" rockets flew into the granary of the Military Supplies Department. There were only about 100 guards around Richie, and there was no time to save the food. Under the desperate counterattack of the guards, Richie was able to escape and escaped from Plimpton. city.

…

Tiger Regiment - Camp

The fighting between the two sides was very fierce, and the Yigler tribe warriors had already broken into the camp. Although they were a little under-prepared at first, their good quality allowed the soldiers of the Tiger Legion to quickly form small square formations to resist the Yigler tribe warriors.

Captain Justin was also leading his men to fight. The prairie warriors who rushed over were basically unmatched. They were as neat as cutting raw fruit. While fighting, he looked at the battle situation around him. Justin frowned. He was not afraid of fighting him. Worry about the food and fodder in the rear.

Looking at Tie Le in the distance, the phalanx in the army struggled to resist Tie Le's attack. "It's not yet time. I'll fight you again later." Justin thought.

After casually cutting down the last prairie warrior around him, Justin ordered the guards around him: "You take a small group of people to Plimpton City behind. Make sure that Richie strengthens the defense and no food and grass are lost."

…

Before the guards even left the back door of the camp, they saw Richie returning to the camp with three guards, all injured. Soon, the guard led Richie to see Justin.

"Why are you back? You are covered with injuries." Justin asked anxiously.

"Captain..., the granary is on fire. It's the Yigler tribe. There are thousands of people. I really can't resist..." Rich said frustratedly.

Justin felt dizzy after hearing Richie's words.

You can't think about anything else now, and you can't let the soldiers know about this. The top priority is to rectify the army and drive out the people of the Yigler tribe, and then think about other things.

…

The sky turned white, and after a night of fighting, both the warriors on the grassland and the warriors in the principality were exhausted. Soon, the Yigler tribe warriors exited the Tiger Legion camp in an orderly manner.

After counting the losses, 6,000 soldiers were directly lost. Because the Igle tribe took away the bodies of the dead soldiers before retreating, there was no accurate statistics on the specific losses of the other side, but at least 5,000.

For a legion of 50,000 people, the casualties of several thousand soldiers are a small matter, but the shortage of food will soon cause bad effects.

"Rich, you can't rest yet, hurry up, first contact the merchants in Purinton City to see who can get food as soon as possible; second, contact the merchants in the country to transport a batch of food as soon as possible." Justin ordered.

He also ordered the attendant around him, "Later, I will write a letter of apology, and you arrange someone to send it back to the capital."

Without paying too much attention to the losses in the camp, Justin issued an order to retreat soon, preparing to retreat to the vicinity of Purinton City to set up camp again and rely on the city for defense.

Although the losses were not small, the purpose of the Tiger Legion's northward march was to defend the southward march of the grassland tribe. As long as the main force was not lost, the grassland side could not bypass him and go south to the principality. I think the admonition in the capital won't be too harsh. Thinking of this, Justin didn't worry too much.
