Chapter two hundred and sixty-ninth unfavorable apprenticeship
The scorching sun, the yellow sand, the distorted air.
"It's so hot!" General Reyes said.
As the top officer of the forward corps, General Reyes prepared a total of five exquisite handkerchiefs for himself before entering the desert. These well-made handkerchiefs are now no different from rags. After drying, they look like they have been wiped with paste.
Generally, it is so hard that it can be used as a stick to hit people; not only that, the handsome general even found that his precious red fox tail has been covered with a thick layer of salt frost, as heavy as a wolf
Dental stick.
"It feels so good!" Liu Zhenshao said.
As the chief shaman of the expeditionary priest group, he is currently lying comfortably in a spacious carriage, listening to Helen and several young priests explaining war songs, and enjoying an "iced milkshake" with the little parrot.
I was washing my bellyband with a big belly on my side and made a lot of bubbles.
A rabbit beauty maid is giving Liu Zhenzhen a massage, and the other is peeling off the cool grape skins and taking all the big-breasted grapes into his and the two little beasts' mouths; these two were once saints.
In addition to serving the God of War, the rabbit beauty he chose is also very good at serving as the spokesperson for the God of War. Liu Zhenshai particularly likes one detail---whenever the rabbit beauty who massages him uses a hairdo
Or when a fingernail scratches his palm, the instantaneous electrostatic reaction will make the Divine Comedy Shaman feel elated.
The luminous pearl taken from Longzi's chin placed in the carriage has its effect of cooling off and repelling the heat, which is maximized in this enclosed space. Several other mages with weak bodies are not treated so well.
Although there are carriages, the Taimurraya ice beads embedded in the four corners of the carriages will cause the mages to wear leather jackets after a period of time.
It’s the twenty-third day!
Along the way, the entire forward corps could be said to have had an unimpeded path, crossing the Oxford Oasis and Harvard Oasis without encountering any resistance.
Desert human bandits have also been encountered, but they were just small groups of scouts. Although the entire Pioneer Corps was an infantry unit, fortunately, the expeditionary sacrificial corps had two Biao warriors and a Chimera knight.
The human desert bandits who ran wildly on camels only contributed a well-made Uzi scimitar to General Reyes.
During this part of the trip, except for the loss of four warriors in quicksand, the entire Pioneer Corps had no other losses. The thick leather boots issued by the military this time, except for covering the feet, were not poisonous scorpions in the desert at all.
and venomous snakes with squeaking tails that can bite through -------It is said that last year, it was these little poisonous insects that caused a huge non-combat attrition of the troops.
Judging from the reconnaissance results reported by the hippogryph scouts every day, although the two oases they passed by were both uninhabited areas, some people had begun to build soil walls around the Yale Oasis on the seventeenth day after the forward army entered the desert.
, this news made the entire Pioneer Corps a little eager to try. This period of smooth progress made General Reyes and the soldiers of the Toulon Regiment begin to think about the scene of conquering the city and making great achievements.
General Reyes's spring and autumn dream was completely shattered by the quartermaster's words after nightfall.
"We may not have enough clean water, General." When the Pygo Quartermaster reported to General Reyes, General Reyes almost fainted.
"How could it not be enough? It's only been eight days since we left Oxford Oasis! It's only been eight days!" General Reyes roared and grabbed the quartermaster's collar, almost strangling the pigeon officer to death.
"I have to... ask... you..." Pig Quartermaster replied tremblingly.
General Reyes was stunned.
During the fifteen-day march in the desert, General Reyes and his staff had actually realized this hidden danger for a long time. The amount of drinking water for the entire forward corps was significantly higher than the amount distributed by the military.
standard.
It is completely inappropriate to use standards to measure the Behemoth army. Due to racial differences, Behemoth warriors also have huge differences in body shape, and their needs for food and armor are often difficult to unify. In view of this situation, Behemoth soldiers
Each of the five major armies has its own logistics department, each of which takes care of its own territory; but this time the situation is different. The people responsible for the logistics of this battle are bureaucrats from the General Logistics Department of the Military Ministry. These bureaucrats are in Gray
gram.
In the more than 20 years since His Majesty Thrall has been in power, all of them have been sent to study in military academies in human countries. They have learned from Big Bull and learned from human practices, dividing the participating legions into Category A and Category B. Toulon United
The regiment and the Cambridge Regiment belong to the B Corps, and the standard of military supplies is only half of that of the A Corps. As for why the Toulon Regiment and the baggage force are divided into the same level, the general requirements department
The bureaucrats have their own reasons, because the Pyg warriors are not as majestic as the Beamon warriors of the other three corps.
Although he was born into a noble family, as the leader of the Pig clan, General Reyes was well aware of the Pig clan's huge appetite. The military logistics officer's questionable logistics distribution standards forced him to give up a portion of the food.
A report with doubts was submitted, but the report was not approved for a long time. Immediately afterwards, the arrival of the chief shaman forced General Reyes to quickly lead the army and set off.
This time the Pioneer Corps rushed to its destination, the Yale Oasis. There were two oases along the way to replenish fresh water. The Harvard Oasis was 600 miles away from the starting point, the Cambridge Oasis. It took the Pioneer Corps ten days to arrive. General Reyes discovered that the entire vanguard
The water tankers carried by the corps consumed all the clean water in just ten days. According to the standards of the military department, the clean water in these water tankers should be enough for the 15th Toulon Regiment.
Amount of drinking per day.
The second stop, Oxford Oasis, is only three hundred miles away from Harvard Oasis. It only took the Pioneer Corps five days to arrive, and the water was enough to squander.
The third stop, Oxford Oasis, is more than 1,100 miles away from Yale Oasis. There is no water supply in the middle. Judging from the maximum rapid march speed of 60 miles per day, it theoretically takes eighteen miles for the Pioneer Army to complete this journey.
In view of the huge water consumption of the forward corps, General Reyes asked the craftsmen with the army to use local materials in the Oxford Oasis to build two waterwheels before departure, and issued a water control order to all the soldiers.
If water control is carried out as planned by General Reyes and a little saving is achieved, the entire Pioneer Corps will definitely be able to arrive at the Yale Oasis on time and enter the battle at the expected time.
However, General Reyes still underestimated the appetite of the Pig Warriors.
Compared with all pains, the feeling of thirst is undoubtedly the most unbearable one. Marching in a hurry in the desert and marching in the Danube wilderness are completely different things. Since entering the desert, all the pigeons of the Toulon Regiment have
The soldiers' food intake has been reduced a lot, and accordingly, the demand for water has doubled.
Along the way, they passed two oases in a row. The soldiers of Toulon United showed high morale and were worthy of being elite. However, after their appetites were whetted, they suddenly stopped drinking water.
Implementing water control is really unrealistic -------The greedy Pidge and the stoic Wolf are completely two types of warriors.
Under the scorching sun, how could the sweaty Pige soldiers remember the water control order? After drinking up the ten pounds of water they carried with them, the eyes of the Pige soldiers began to twinkle---------
--Watching the waterwheels driving around me, but having to endure the pain of smoke coming out of my throat, it's really cruel. If it weren't for the strict military regulations, and if it wasn't well-trained, it would have been the other lame alliances of the Toulon Army.
The team is here, I'm afraid they have already gone up to grab it.
Not only soldiers, but also officers are no exception. The twenty squadron leaders of the Toulon Regiment are all giant elephant strongmen of the Orphan tribe. They weigh more than 500 pounds, allowing these giant elephant strongmen to walk in the desert like a steamer.
, the amount of fresh water that needs to be replenished is also extremely astonishing----------Olephan Hercules is proud of his strong body, but only in the desert can he feel such a burden.
If even mid-level officers look at you and the water tanker with eyes that are close to mutiny, no top officer can remain content.
Really unable to bear being surrounded by those eyes, General Reyes had no choice but to issue an order to replenish the water. This rookie commander who had just entered the battlefield completely ignored what is called the seriousness of military law. Since he had the first
Every time an exception is made, there will be a second time, and someone will use chicken feathers as command arrows.
By the time the quartermaster realized something was wrong, things were already getting a bit serious. If the remaining water wanted to maintain the Yale Oasis, it had to endure a terrible premise---Toulon United
It was necessary to march in the desert for ten days at a speed of sixty miles a day while reducing the daily water supply by two-thirds, and quickly enter the battle.
In desperation, General Reyes had no choice but to issue the water control order again.
Only God knows how effective the random orders can be. The situation the next day was exactly the same as before. The soldiers drank all the water they carried with them, and then began to inspect the water tanker again, but this time
General Reyes and the squadron commanders already understood the seriousness of the consequences and were determined not to open the ban again.
You can endure it for one day, you can endure it for two days, but on the third day, the soldiers with chapped lips can no longer bear it. It doesn't matter if there is no water. If the sound of water splashing from the waterwheel echoes in your ears,
, the nerves of every single warrior have been pushed to the limit!
What brought big trouble to General Reyes was the assault group composed of prisoners. After being controlled by Qingshui, the prisoners reacted violently. The real danger was not the prisoners, but the incitement shown by these prisoners. Supervisor
The ten zebra warriors of the team chopped off hundreds of heads of prisoner soldiers who tried to grab water in one day. Their hands became weak when they chopped off. Not only did they not curb the wave of prisoners asking for water, but they also made Pige
The soldiers could no longer hold back.
The moment the prisoners turned on the water hose of the water tanker and started pouring water, every soldier was swallowing hard.
The Pioneer Corps was like a centipede with its legs cut off, meandering in the desert and stopping its progress -------------- No matter how brave and disciplined the Behemoth warriors were,
A psychological limit, deprived of the right to "eat and drink", means the lowest psychological endurance for the pig soldiers. As the most elite professional soldiers in the Northeast Province, the warthog infantry and porcupine spearmen did not mutiny to grab water.
, starting in the afternoon, they chose to use peaceful resistance by refusing to move forward, pouring out their anger at the superior.
General Reyes almost broke his teeth. He really hated it. Why did the kingdom have a forward corps that had to have a stormtrooper composed of prisoners? This was such a bad practice! Without these prisoners making noises, maybe the forwards
The Corps could barely hold on until the Yale Oasis.
The task assigned to the forward corps by the legion is to march sixty miles a day and capture the Yale Oasis within thirty-four days. This is a violation of military law! Military law is ruthless. Once this designated task cannot be completed, there is a clear interpretation in Beamon's military law -
----------The top military officer committed suicide, and all his prisoner assault regiments were hanged as a warning to others.
Because of the elite troops coming out this time, domestic public opinion generally believed that the expedition against the desert bandits was a success. General Reyes was born in a wealthy Fox family in the Northeast Province. The family's intention was to let him take advantage of this opportunity to accumulate military exploits.
Prepare for future promotions.
The gilded journey turned into a hellish journey. This was something General Reyes never expected. This huge contrast caused the young aristocratic general to collapse immediately. There was no way forward. To retreat would be death. When two people with the same
When the multiple-choice question with the same consequences was placed in front of General Reyes, the noble general felt like crying.
After being reminded by his staff, General Reyes soon realized a very strange thing--a group of priests from the Expeditionary Sacrifice Corps were at the forefront of the entire Pioneer Corps.
The camp was also far away from the entire vanguard group, but they were never seen coming to ask for a drop of water or a piece of dry food from the baggage team.
These sacrifices did not carry any luggage, but the followers of the sacrifices who followed the carriage drank water, which can be described as cow's drink, and also poured water to cool down.
The large cowhide water bag issued by the military can hold ten pounds of water. This water is not even enough for the majestic Baleno warrior to replenish his drinking water for half a day.
What is going on? Where did the priests get the water? General Reyes' heart was suddenly filled with doubts.
The only way to answer your questions is to find the answers.
The expeditionary sacrificial corps is an independent system. In terms of level, only the regiment commander Prince Kahn is on the same level as the chief shaman Richard. General Reyes is not yet qualified to directly ask the chief shaman questions, but Fox’s wisdom
To make up for these difficulties, General Reyes sent a guard warrior with superb lurking skills to sneak into the tent area of the Expeditionary Priesthood Group at night to make secret inquiries, even though it was a loss of dignity for a high-ranking nobleman.
The guard was thrown in front of General Reyes's horse with a bruised face the next day. Several of his indifferent followers turned around and left without saying anything.
"Have you found anything?" This was the first time General Reyes saw his warrior so cowardly.
"I didn't find anything." The guard covered the gap in his face and climbed up from the sand: "I was knocked down by four mastiffs as soon as I entered. It seemed that these guys started to beat me.
At that time, he said that I actually dared to come and spy on so-and-so taking a bath."
"Take a...bath?" General Reyes' voice was out of tune.
