Chapter 52

But he did not expect that the combat effectiveness of the Mayan army was even more than he expected. Even with timely support, the troops of each principality still lost more than half, while the Mayan army was only severely damaged, and the other three routes successfully retreated.

After seeing the meteor artillery, Lauren ordered full-speed support. Ten minutes later, he encountered Danny's retreating troops. When asked about the situation, he was about to set up a trap to wipe out the Mayan cavalry.

A two thousand troops were arranged in front, and another two thousand were detoured, while Danny's 1,000 were used as a reserve team. Not only Lauren, but Danny, they did not believe how long Ferig's 200 men could support or escape. With the power of the magician, Ferig could only run out by himself at most.

Danny still has some confidence in Feleg. Even when facing a captain Maya cavalry, Feleg possesses a wind beast, coming and going like lightning. With his own strength, it is absolutely no problem to escape.

However, after setting up the formation, he waited for a long time, but still did not see the Mayan cavalry chasing. This surprised Lauren very much. He did not believe that the Mayan cavalry would be satisfied if he ate two hundred people.

Since he couldn't wait for someone, Lauren had to send multiple scout teams. The reward he received surprised him. Not far away, he found the two hundred Delan army. Judging from their appearance, it seemed that they had defeated the Maya cavalry. Is this possible?

Looking at the soldiers in front of them with swords and guns marks on their armor, their bloody battle robes, and the piles of Mayan weapons and armor on the ground, the most unlikely ones were the two high corpse mountains.

Lauren could imagine how hard they fought and how brave they had to kill the enemy for twenty minutes. You should know that the other four duchess clearance teams used the tactics of division of troops to block the enemy. In terms of tactical command alone, no mistakes were made, but none of the troops that remained to block the attack could withstand a charge from the Mayan cavalry.

The first order Lauren gave Feleg was to cut off one of the enemy's heads and hang it on the horse's back. His explanation was that it was like waking up from drinking too much, it would be better to drink another drink, which would help increase the alcohol content. After killing people, tie their heads to the horse's backs, which would help increase the courage of these recruits.

The Delan team became famous in one battle, and the heroic power of Felge and the 200 dead soldiers was infinitely expanded. What was finally passed on? Felge and Denny could not imagine. The originally unknown Duchy of Tlan was remembered in his heart by the five principalities.

Vero was not in this mood at this time, and was having a headache when he looked at the casualties report. The plan was already very thorough, but he still lost nearly 3,000 troops. These troops were all troops of various principalities, and the losses of the regular army of the Empire were very small.

The number of enemies annihilated seems to be too incompetent. A total of 320 enemies were annihilated and twenty-six prisoners were captured. Among them, 160 were killed by the Delan army, and all the prisoners were captured. The results of the other four routes of clearing troops had just reached the number of enemies annihilated by the Delan army, and there was not a single prisoner.

Another 10-to-1 casualty report. In the future, the troops of the four cities in the logistics base are not unacceptable, especially the number of casualties of the regular army here is very small, but does such a battle result seem to be too incompetent?

The Mayan army had a planned sneak attack this time, but I also thought about it and made careful arrangements to launch a counter-sneak attack, but the result was not ideal.

The elite enemy troops were all cavalry, and I don’t know how many of them were so far. All of this gave Vero a headache. I think the first-class major general Buffett who is in charge of White Tiger City would not be able to have a good time.

"General, I'm back." The person who walked into the command post was Lauren who had just returned.

"Oh? Lauren, I'm about to look for you. I want to know the situation of the Delan army. It is said that they fought bravely. They won the battle against the elite Mayan cavalry of the same force, and they suffered extremely small losses. Is this the truth?" Vero had just read the report, but he didn't believe it.

Although I don't believe that the Delan army can defeat the same number of Mayan cavalry, the report has been sent, and there are accurate numbers of enemies and prisoners. In the Auckland Empire, falsely reporting military achievements is a serious crime, and such results are not difficult to find out.

"Not the same number of enemies." Lauren whispered.

Vero stood up and said, "So, Danny did not obey the command and brought all his men and horses? But I don't think that his three thousand men can defeat a thousand Mayan elite cavalry." Vero's face looked very bad. For a commander, weaker military strength is second. If he does not obey the command, this battle will be difficult to fight.

In Little Bear City, there are eight teams, the regular army of the empire, the support troops of six principalities, and the local military-controlled infantry in Little Bear City. These miscellaneous armies are not very good and are difficult to command, but so far, they are still honest, at least they know how to obey military orders.

"General, Danny only brought one thousand men. The two hundred soldiers led by his assistant were led by his assistant, only two hundred, and only nine of them died, and the rest were slightly injured. I have seen their injuries and would not affect the battle at all. The assistant was named Ferleg Landis, who was a Delan, and there was no badge on his armor. I have sent someone to investigate." Lauren said.

"What? There are only two hundred people?" Vero was shocked. He had already learned about these Mayan elite cavalry. The lowest one was also a level five warrior. Although they were only intermediate warriors of the lowest level, they were not comparable to those of the Auckland army, which was generally low-level warriors. This means that the invading enemy troops were not only the ace Mayan elite cavalry of the Mayan Kingdom, but also the elites selected from the Mayan elite cavalry. He couldn't understand why the Mayan Empire was willing to send such troops.

In the Auckland Imperial Army, only a few teams can ensure that all personnel are composed of intermediate soldiers. Such a team, and such a team, cannot be found on the entire left-wing front.

It seems that this time the Mayan Empire is determined to use the trick of cutting off food. Can two hundred people defeat them in such an army? Could it be that the 200-man team of the Delan Army is composed of senior soldiers? Is that possible? Apart from the personal guard of Emperor Wu Tian, ​​I have never heard of which unit is composed of senior soldiers.

"Yes, there are only two hundred people. According to my observation, these two hundred people are recruits, which can be seen from their expressions. They have received good training and should be similar to the level of the Imperial Security Army, but they are all newbies who have never seen blood."

"What else do you want to tell me? If it were just this, even if you saw the enemy's corpse, you wouldn't believe it was the enemy they defeated." Vero still knew his deputy very well, but now he lacked confidence.

He thought that among these Duchy armies, the Delan army had the least number of people, the worst training, and the equipment was pretty good, but the combat effectiveness must be the lowest, so the team supporting Danny was led by his deputy Lauren.

"Armor, I think there is something wrong with their armor." Lauren said with little certainty, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He would never believe this kind of thing if Ferge's two hundred infantry could defeat a thousand Mayan elite cavalry. He observed it very carefully at that time, and the most suspicious one was the armor on the body of this army.

"What's wrong with their armor?" Vero was in high spirits, and all the unpleasantness disappeared in an instant during this period.

"The armor on their bodies looks like imperial armor, but if you look closely, you will find that each armor has some slight differences, but it looks like it is made by a not-so-skilled craftsman. From the appearance alone, it is not as good as the armor of those under Danny. In addition to the grain produced by the Duchy of Delan, there are also fine iron ore, so the weapons and equipment are very good."

Vero nodded and waited for Lauren to continue speaking. From the above point of view alone, one could not draw conclusions. Lauren is a careful and steady person and will not talk randomly.

"The armor on the soldiers was damaged many times. Some soldiers could hardly find a good place for their armor, but they were not completely damaged. The soldiers in the armor were not seriously injured. The weapons of at least half of these soldiers have been replaced by the Mayan army's weapons."

"Oh? You mean that their armor was not broken, but most of the weapons were broken. From the damage to their armor, it can be inferred that it was indeed the two hundred of them who defeated the Mayan elite cavalry." Vero lowered his head and said. From these details, he could indeed draw such a conclusion, and the supportive troops were very fast, so they could not have time to do anything else.

Let's take a step back and say that if the Delan army is capable of defeating the Mayan cavalry, this is definitely a good thing. The Empire will only add prizes, and there is no need for Danny and Ferleg to deliberately conceal it.

"I have checked the nine dead soldiers myself. Their wounds are the same, all under the neck. The lower part of the face armor was cut down, and most of the neck was broken, but no one lost his head. The most unlucky guy, the neck was completely cut off, but the opponent's slashing sabre power was exhausted and he could not cut off the armor at the back of the neck, so this guy's head was still in his helmet."

"The most interesting thing is that these armors are very thin, thinner than any armor I have seen. They are only one-third of the thickness of the second-class armor used by the Imperial Security Army. I can't think of any country's armor that can be made so thin. Although the armor is very thin, I tried the weight and it was very heavy, which is comparable to the first-class armor that our troops equipped."
