Chapter 973: Black Wind(1/2)
Chamberlain stared at Murong Xiaotian silently for a few seconds, wondering what he was thinking.
Suddenly he snorted coldly, and his tone became stern: "Creating chaos, robbing other companies, and killing imperial officers. I am a thief. Do you know the crime?"
"The robbery of armaments happened for a reason. Our troops traveled day and night for eight days to finally get here. We were hungry and cold, but the armaments belonging to our company were misappropriated by other companies. The soldiers lost control of their emotions, so they acted inappropriately; as for killing a man
Company Commander, this matter is false, the situation was chaotic at the time, how exactly the Company Commander died remains to be verified."
"Humph, you are really good at talking. How could such a big thing come out of your mouth and become an understatement?"
Chamberlain snorted again.
"Damn, killing an imperial officer is a capital crime. Of course I won't admit it!" Murong Xiaotian sneered secretly in his heart.
Now, unlike before, Liuzi had understood the situation here clearly. Murong Xiaotian already knew that it was absolutely impossible to escape from the battlefield through this matter.
In this case, of course we have to clear things up.
"Report to the marshal, urgent military situation!"
At this moment, an intelligence officer from the military headquarters came galloping over on a fast horse.
"Enemy troops have been found in the direction of the black wind outlet!" the intelligence officer quickly replied.
"What? Black wind outlet?"
Marshal Chamberlain and the colonel were shocked at the same time and screamed.
If the Moros want to cross Fengmang Mountain and enter the Gale Empire, they have two ways to go.
One of them is the front of Jinxiang Town. This road is very wide, not blocked by heavy snow, and is extremely easy to walk. Many years ago, the Moro people and the Gale Empire used this road for trade.
The battle between the two sides for more than ten years has also used this road as a battlefield.
The other road is the Heifengkou on the side of Jinxiang Town.
But on that road, there was a river with a width of more than 40 meters blocking it. The river was so rough that ordinary soldiers could not cross it at all.
Originally, there was a bridge here many years ago, but at the beginning of the war many years ago, the bridge was destroyed by people sent by the Gale Empire.
From then on, the battles between the two sides were conducted head-on, and this road was gradually forgotten by people.
Chamberlain's heart sank. Now he finally understood why the Moros had been in truce for three consecutive years. It turned out that while recharging their strength, they were building bridges.
At the same time, I felt extremely regretful and blamed myself deeply. It was myself who had neglected the road to Black Wind Pass. But just because of this negligence, it was possible to bring the most fatal blow to the Gale Empire.
"How far is the enemy from the Black Wind Gate? How many troops are there?" Chamberlain's eyes showed unprecedented nervousness.
Black Wind Pass, less than five miles away from the left flank of Jinxiang Town, is also known as Black Wind Canyon.
The canyon is less than five meters wide, with cliffs on both sides towering into the clouds. But once you get out of the black wind outlet, it becomes a flat river.
If the Moros break out of the Black Wind Pass and march straight in, the Gale Empire will be in danger.
"The strength of the two regiments is, however, light cavalry. They are less than 15 miles away from Heifengkou."
"Click!"
Chamberlain's heart sank again, and even his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The light cavalry of the two regiments are undoubtedly the vanguard, and their target is Heifengkou; once they occupy Heifengkou and wait for the subsequent large forces to arrive, they will really be helpless.
"Changsheng, you immediately lead the reinforced armored company and go straight to the Black Wind Pass. You must occupy the Black Wind Pass before the Moro cavalry arrives."
"yes!"
The colonel officer who had been following Chamberlain immediately took action.
The ownership of Heifengkou was related to the fate of the empire. Chamberlain did not dare to hesitate at all.
Even the Tianhu Legion, the second frontal line of defense, is seven or eight kilometers away from Jinxiang Town. It is too late to wait for the order to be sent and mobilize the troops.
In Jinxiang Town now, apart from the military's reinforced armored guard company and the 18th New Regiment, there are only armaments, military supplies and other logistics personnel.
As for the 18th New Regiment, even the head of the regiment has not yet been found. How can it go on an expedition?
Chamberlain could only make such a decision.
When the armored guard company began to take action, Chamberlain's eyes were fixed on Murong Xiaotian's face again, looking at him intently, his eyes hesitant, as if he was making some important decision.
After watching for half a minute, he suddenly said: "I am now ordering you to be the acting commander of the 18th New Corps. I will give you 15 minutes to integrate the 18th New Corps. After the integration is completed, rush to Heifengkou.
Support; as for the military law you violated, I will write it down for you for the time being. I hope you can redeem yourself and make meritorious service."
"yes!"
Murong Xiaotian puffed up his chest and immediately said, "But, I have a condition."
"explain!"
"I need to replenish my armaments!"
"You can take any armament from the Armament Department and choose whatever you want, but you must set off in 15 minutes!"
"yes!"
Murong Xiaotian's face showed his signature evil smile again!
Damn, I got promoted inadvertently. What the hell, being a regiment leader is better than being a company commander. If you manage more people, your chances of winning won't be any greater, right?
Maybe, I am one step closer to completing my mission.
Without saying anything, Murong Xiaotian led the 18th New Regiment and rushed to the Armaments Department. The messenger had already passed on Marshal Chamberlain's order immediately. Everyone in the Armaments Department had been mobilized to prepare for the third army.
Preparation for the service of 18 new regiments.
This kind of thing was unprecedented, and they couldn't understand how the 18th New Regiment could enjoy such high privileges?
"I need a thousand plain knives!"
The equipment that the new regiment is equipped with is a spear and a shield, which are already available. If they just needed these things, Murong Xiaotian would not even come.
He just wanted to equip the 18th New Regiment with some unconventional equipment.
After passing this village, there is no such store. If you don't take it, you will get nothing. There are more equipments, which is not a bad thing.
Tmd, I accidentally got promoted again. In less than 10 days, I actually became a commander of the Gale Empire army. Although I was just an agent, it was unprecedented in the Gale Empire.
.
In any case, since he already has a thousand soldiers under his command, his chances of survival are much higher.
Moreover, his intuition told Murong Xiaotian that this might be an opportunity for the 18th New Regiment.
If you are on a frontal battlefield, your chances of survival are very slim, but if you are guarding the black wind, it will be different.
The Black Wind Canyon is only five meters wide, and it firmly occupies the exit, which means that one man can block it and no one can open it. As long as the 18th New Corps takes root here, the chance of survival will naturally be much greater.
Then, it will be possible to complete the task yourself.
With a word to the quartermaster, Murong Xiaotian walked into the arms warehouse.
Damn, this really opened my eyes. There are so many kinds of things inside, and there are so many different kinds of equipment.
Unfortunately, these weapons and equipment are of no use to players and cannot be equipped at all. They are only suitable for NPC soldiers.
After walking out of the warehouse, Murong Xiaotian immediately asked the quartermaster to equip the 18th New Corps with 1,000 engineer shovels. If you want to defend, you have to build fortifications. This thing will definitely come in handy.
After these arrangements were completed, Murong Xiaotian said to the quartermaster: "The outdoor camping tents in the warehouse of your military quarters department are enough for a regiment. All other types of military equipment, 1,000 sets of each, are sent to me to Heifengkou
, don’t tell me that your munitions department doesn’t have a transportation team.”
Without a transport team, how could these armaments be transported from the imperial city?
"How did your regiment use so much armaments?" The quartermaster looked at Murong Xiaotian in surprise, his eyes widening.
"Do you care whether I can use it or not? Does the Marshal's order mean that I can choose from all the armaments in the Commissary Office?"
"This, that's right!" the quartermaster smiled helplessly.
"This is the end!"
Murong Xiaotian let out a chuckle, turned around and left, leading the 18th New Regiment to the outside of the town.
After leaving Jinxiang Town, they ran all the way towards Heifengkou. When they were less than two miles away from Heifengkou, Murong Xiaotian ordered the troops to stop advancing.
In the wind and rain, low sounds of fighting could be heard. Apparently, the reinforced armored guard company was at war with the Moros.
"Brothers of the 18th Regiment, do you want to live?" Murong Xiaotian shouted angrily in front of the thousands of members of the regiment.
"think!"
He responded loudly and desperately.
But the other four companies responded feebly.
"What? You four companies don't want to live? Then wipe my neck now!" Murong Xiaotian roared again.
He glanced sideways, paused for a few seconds, and Murong Xiaotian's voice became extremely cold: "No one wiped it? That means that you all want to live. Since you want to live, give me some energy; I
Let me tell you, if you want to live, you have to fight tooth and nail. Only by completely wiping out the enemies in front and firmly guarding the black wind outlet is your only chance. Answer me louder, do you want to live?"
"Want to live!"
This time, the soldiers from the other four companies also raised their heads.
