Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 557 Hunter and Prey (2)

"Report!"

A scout covered in bark and grass roots quickly ran over, and his outfit knew that he had just returned from a mountainous area with lush forests.When the scout came to the commander Cindy Cantelli who was eating on the marching chair, he immediately knelt on one leg and said while panting: "Report to the commander, the military situation ahead."

As Senat’s subordinate, Cindy Cantelli, commander of the 5000 infantry stationed on the southwest border, did not put down the barbecue in his hand after hearing the scout's return, and even continued to chew in his mouth. He just hummed with his nose to show that he heard it. Up.

The scout obviously also knows his commander’s temper. He absolutely does not allow others to disturb him while eating. Although he is in the army now, if he violates his taboo, I am afraid that what is most dangerous in the future will definitely be the first. To do it.

After finally waiting for Cindy Cantelli to finish eating the barbecue, threw the bone on the ground, and wiped his greasy hands on his clothes, the scout whispered: "Our army's vanguard has arrived. In the Waro Mountains, the scouts encountered enemy scouts and lost more than 20 people."

The leader of Cindy Cantelli didn't ask much. He hooked his fingers at the guards around him. Two people came over and slowly unfolded a map of the Valor mountain area made of sheepskin for him. The leader of Taili was very dissatisfied and said, "Idiot, how do you look at it so dark? I don't need to light a few more torches!"

After the four torches had illuminated the sheepskin map, the leader of Cindy Cantelli moved his gaze slowly. He was very impatient after only a few glances. The scout on the side said, "Why are you still dying there? Come over and point it out to me."

The scout rushed to the leader of Cindy Cantelli. After carefully identifying the map, he pointed out the location of the enemy and us for the latter. Cindy Cantelli frowned because he found The Mochizuki City Magic Exchange Group is not on both sides of the road, but has deliberately detoured for several kilometers and is stationed on a mountain called "Valen".

This strange phenomenon made Commander Cindy Cantelli very incomprehensible. He stood up, hooked with his hand, called all the subordinates standing aside, and then asked them: "Strange, although the Valen Mountain is relatively high, But there is only one way up and down the mountain, why would they choose to rest in such a Jedi? This clearly gives us enough time to encircle."

"Master commander," a subordinate began to say his own suggestion: "We got the lord's order to delay the opponent's advancement and buy time for the assembly of the large army. Now they are doing this. Isn't it in our minds?"

"Huh, you coward!" Another subordinate said, "When the large army comes, we are mostly responsible for maintaining the encirclement. How can we have any military merits? It is better to kill them directly at night. The opponent is only 300 people, and we There are nearly 5,000 people."

"How can this work? Not to mention the Lord Lord’s military order. Our 5000 troops are not gathered at all now. They are deployed in an area of ​​30 kilometers. Now the adults can only fight 1,000 soldiers. Not to mention that the other party has a magician, and we don't have any siege equipment. Cangzhou will be very disadvantaged in the attack."

"How can there be rewards for not taking risks?"

"But a blind attack is simply to die!"

"Shut up all!" Cindy Cantelli didn't want to listen to his subordinates arguing anymore, and shouted directly: "Now it's for you to discuss countermeasures, not quarrels. Okay, now all parts of our army have arrived. ?"

"Lord Commander, please see, our army has already occupied 1,000 people in the enemy's necessary passage to the north. According to the instructions of the adults, they will set up positions on the spot and resolutely prevent the enemy from fleeing towards the imperial capital. And 500 people have also arrived here. In about an hour, they should be able to block their way back to Mochizuki City."

"Then, how did the enemy react?" Commander Cindy Cantelli thought for a while, and then asked, "Are you planning to break through?"

"My lord, the enemy troops are still stationed on Mount Valen. They seem to have no intention of breaking through the encirclement, and their scouts have shrunk on a large scale after encountering our scouts. Now they seem to be just tightly guarding the only way up the mountain. It's too dark and time is tight, we can only detect so much."

"Useless waste!" Cindy Cantelli cursed a few words, then hooked his hand to get the soldier holding the map closer. He held a torch himself and almost put his head on the map.After carefully reading the positions of the enemy and us on the map several times, he found that the 4,500 infantry he brought out this time had almost reached the predetermined position according to the original plan, but the opponent was still in a defensive posture.

Commander Cindy Cantelli's heart began to become restless. Under normal circumstances, the commander who became the commander-in-chief of a unit in the army has almost sat on the head, at best, the resident is a little richer, and the army under him is more. One point, if you want to continue to advance to the top, or even become a general in command of multiple armies, unless you have great military merit.

Although Lord Senat announced his departure from the imperial capital, there has been no large-scale battle after such a long time. It is nothing more than spreading as far as possible to all sides, but the range is very small.And Cindy Cantelli’s garrison position is simply near the inaccessible mountainous area, and it is incomparable with those friendly forces stationed in the city. Every time Cindy Cantelli goes to the friendly forces to do something, he will hate it. Want to hide in the mountains and eat coarse grains every day, even a woman can't touch it?

Now, after receiving Senat’s order, Cindy Cantelli knew that General Nelson would personally rush here to direct the entire battle, and this General Nelson was the most rigorous, I am afraid that he would not be able to catch anything by himself, Cindy. Cantelli had long heard that the magician was the wealthiest creature on this continent except for the dragon. Now he surrounds his opponent with more than ten times the superior force. It is absolutely impossible to say that Cindy Cantelli does not want to be greedy for merit.

After repeated weighings, Cindy Cantelli still made up his mind, anyway, his two troops have blocked the opponent’s rapid retreat channel, and Cindy Cantelli’s own 3000 infantry is ten times the number of opponents, if this It’s a shame not to take advantage of this opportunity. If you win the first battle, you don’t have to say that you have merit, but even if you fail, you will lose some manpower. At that time, you will catch some farmers to make up the number. Anyway, Sir Senat’s elite troops. At most, I will arrive tomorrow morning. One night, it is a mountainous area. I am still blocking the opponent's main retreat channel. I am almost invincible. There is no reason not to fight.

Thinking of this, Cindy Cantelli opened his mouth and said: "Pass the order, our army must hurry up and be sure to surround the opponent on the Valen Peak in the Vallo Mountains within 2 hours." At this point, Cindy Cantelli paused, watching I looked at the subordinates around me and found that most of them were looking at themselves with expectant eyes, then smiled and said, "I personally led the team to hunt in the mountains."
