Soon, General Jonas commanded his men to clean up the entire battlefield. After a preliminary count, the number of Clay fighters killed last night reached 11,846. This is definitely a brilliant victory, but in the entire expeditionary army. In his heart, he didn't take it to heart, just a little modification, and the expeditionary army moved on.

This time, of the 40,000 soldiers brought by Jonas, more than 10,000 were garrisons of the original Thor Fortress. They all experienced the pain of losing their homes, and were attacked by the Clay tribe on their way back from the Thor Fortress to the Imperial Capital. , Their relatives and comrades in arms were fortunate to escape the ravages of the orcs, but fell under the butcher knife of their compatriots.

So for the Jonas Legion in the expeditionary army, this time the expedition to the Clay clan, their only purpose is revenge.Strict discipline and firm belief, the two have been perfectly combined by Jonas in the past few years with the soldiers of his army. They are fanatical but rational, and are the most elite fighters in the capital.

On the next journey, the pressure on the expeditionary army rose sharply. The Clay fighters no longer quickly got out of the expeditionary army’s field of vision. Instead, they continued to harass the expeditionary army’s advance based on the centuries. The terrain is very familiar, and he often hides his whereabouts, and then launches attacks on expeditionary scouts passing by.

After experiencing the last ambush, the popular shooters began to change their reconnaissance plan. They cross-patrolled a certain area in units of teams, and tried to keep a certain distance between any two teams. Once a friendly army was attacked, Other teams nearby will quickly make reinforcements.

Both the combat power and the equipment of the popular shooters are much higher than those of the Clay fighters. Therefore, even if they fight against a 100-man ambush unit with 50 people, they often win with zero casualties, but the Clay fighters Undaunted to launch attacks again and again, even if the entire army is wiped out without hesitation.

In many cases, the Clay fighters will gather hundreds of people to ambush a squad of the Fengxing Archer with all their strength, and after the Fengxing Archer squad recruits reinforcements, other Clay fighters will patrol the empty fast horses on the Fengxing Archer. The main force of the marching expeditionary force.

This number of people is impossible to pose any threat to the main force of the expeditionary force. They will be shot by a burst of arrows before they even have time to get close, but this will still affect the advancement speed of the expeditionary force. After all, the popular shooters as scouts are actually being killed. The enemy forcibly breaks through the area of ​​his responsibility, and if the Clay team forcefully launches a surprise attack, the popular shooters will have no way of warning in advance.

Orlando quickly responded. He asked the magisters in charge of "Magic Eyes" to strengthen the detection, and at the same time redistributed the scouts. There were 5,000 popular shooters in a team of 200, and 25 teams took turns. Together with the "God Eye" Magic Array, they focused on strengthening the vigilance within 10 kilometers of the main force of the Expeditionary Army. With such a search density, it would be difficult for the Clay fighters to take advantage of the opportunity to break through, but the marching speed of the entire Expeditionary Army was also reduced a lot.

Two days later, Chief Abdul, who was on the shore of Jinghu Lake, also received news that the expeditionary army had slowed down the march. He slowly put down the information in his hand and walked out of the tent. Kai had been waiting outside the tent. Limu, Lugeman, Lukani and others greeted him immediately.

"Kailim, our time is running out. The speed of the expeditionary army has slowed down, but at the expense of the lives of countless loyal Clay fighters. How is the army assembled now?" Abdul looked far away There was a large marching tent, and asked.

Kailim first paid a salute to Chief Abdul, and then respectfully replied: "According to your instructions, we have sent fast horses to give orders to all the Clay gathering places. As long as it is our tribe, all 12 Men aged to 55 must leave immediately and come to Jinghu to gather within one day after receiving the order. At present, the soldiers to the east and north of Jinghu are all here, but the envoys to the west and south have not yet returned. It is estimated that it will take a few days.

"Well, how many soldiers have arrived?" Chief Abdul said noncommittal.

This time it was Lugman who replied, he said loudly: "At present, more than 20 people have arrived here, plus our original 150,000, and there are almost 35 warriors who can ride on horseback. And among these people Among them, the truly elite troops also exceed 80,000."

When Rugman said this, his sister Lukani said in a confident tone: “It’s been many, many years since our Clays were able to gather so many fighters. I asked my grandfather last night. He is over 80 years old, but he has never seen such a scene. It is just that when he was a child, he heard old elders talk about the glory of our ancestors. Chief Abdul, the Clay people can rise again, all are Thanks to you alone, I believe that the entire Clay clan will regain the glory of their ancestors under your leadership, and we will definitely be able to defeat any enemy standing in front of us."

Chief Abdul was very happy after listening to Rukani’s words of praise. This is not because he likes flattery, but because he knows Rukani has no intentions and can’t hide things at all, so Abu Chief Durer believed that Rukani’s words came from the bottom of his heart. He has been patient for so many years, and even often had to bow to the Imperial Capital. This was the moment when the Clay clan regained strength. After defeating the expeditionary force from the imperial capital, Chief Abdul believed that he could soon command the Clay fighters to move south and east, and fully expand the territory belonging to the Clay.

Thinking of this, Chief Abdul pointed to the lake that looked like a mirror not far away, and said smugly to his confidants: "I have waited for this moment for thirty years. Although our strength is strong, we Our enemies are not weak enough, and there must be no mistakes in this war that concerns the fate of our children and grandchildren."

"According to the intelligence, the Imperial Expeditionary Force departed from the small town of Pamela, marching all the way to the west for more than 100 kilometers every day, and now it has arrived here. In the past few days, I have repeatedly thought about it. This neighborhood can supply hundreds of thousands of people. The only drinking water is Jinghu Lake, so I plan to set up the battlefield in the Uranus Ranch to the east. The terrain there is flat, which is most suitable for our cavalry to play. Although the Imperial Expeditionary Army has 20,000 horses, they mainly use it. Mainly infantry, I believe these horses are only used to increase their own mobility."

"Our army is now fully assembled. Even if the opponent uses 20,000 soldiers to attack, it will not help. On the contrary, it will be destroyed by me because of the scattered forces. Therefore, the Imperial Expeditionary Army does not dare to divide the troops. As for the expeditionary force in the decisive battle, it does not need to attack Jinghu. Worry, because here is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are mountains to the north and Jinghu Lake to the south. Their small teacher with thousands of people is of no avail."

"Our army fights enemies from afar with more than 10 times the strength, and our elite troops are almost twice as strong as the enemy, and they are on the prairie where we have lived for many years, so we will win!" Chief Abdul Looking at the calm water of Jinghu Lake, he said smugly.
