Hogwarts Ordnance Manual

Dudley helped Mia formulate a rough strategy and started implementing it the next day.

With the addition of Dudley, the resistance army has the most powerful scouts in the first place. They no longer have to worry about suddenly encountering unexpected enemies and losing their lives inexplicably.

Under Dudley's command, the rebels marched for dozens of miles to the north where they exchanged fire with the Byres reconnaissance force. The wreckage of the Firefly and the dead soldiers had long been covered up by the wind and sand, but Riley actually set up in the desert. He was wearing a tent, and he looked like he was waiting desperately. When he saw Dudley come back, he almost burst into tears.

Dudley's guess was correct. Although the Firefly had lost contact, the reconnaissance force did not have the strength to conduct a large-scale search. Instead, they concentrated their efforts on the mountain pass at the border with the Iron Lion Principality. There was a high probability that they had tracked the smuggling team in Can Can Town. .The northern area where they had exchanged fire with the reconnaissance troops was actually the safest direction.

After repairing for a day, Yaosong's motorcade finally appeared in sight.It is not easy to trek long distances in the desert. The convoy encountered two sandstorms and five desert monster attacks. Although it was not a monster of the level of the Sandstorm Dragon, it also lost two jeeps and more than a dozen soldiers in the battle.

Yaosong and Lulu hugged their father enthusiastically. In the past two days, Yaosong had figured out that if he continued to follow his own path, even if it was smooth sailing, at most he would become a small warlord and continue to occupy a place in the desert. What's the difference between living in a small town and living in a city given by God? What's the point of killing people everywhere with my head tied to my waistband?

Although Yaosong is not a good person, and has the pursuit of quick success and philistine calculations of the small bourgeois, but the human heart is full of flesh, he will also think about whether he can let go of parting ways with the father who raised him, and he will also think about the things he sees every day. Can you be so hard-hearted as the brothers you brought out of the God-given City died pointlessly in front of you one by one?

Dudley gave him a good choice, not only for the loyalty of father and son's feelings and beliefs, but also for the happy future of the entire resistance army.Walking out of the desert and creating a new home has been the dream of all resistance soldiers.

The two armies met. Under Dudley's call, most of Yaosong's men were willing to share weapons and vehicles with Mia's men. This was already a very good start. The integration of the two armies was not a simple sum of numbers. , unified rules, instructions, goals, and action patterns all require a period of adjustment, but with Dudley, who can summon holy water, the barriers between people are first eliminated from the level of belief.

Dudley ordered a night march instead, and walked in a large circle, from the west to the southeast of Can Can Town.

Early in the morning, Dudley discovered what was going on in Canned Town. Perhaps the last batch of smuggling teams suddenly lost contact, which made the business groups in Canned Town very uneasy. They quickly organized another group with hundreds of vehicles. The convoy roared out from the east gate of the town. Some of the tanks even had machine guns mounted on them, as if they were going to fight some opponent.

Think about it, the smuggling route is the lifeblood and cash cow of these business groups in Can Can Town. They will never allow any force to endanger this route, even if they have just been defeated in an encounter with the rebels, even if they know that a powerful and unknown force is coming from the north. They also have to go through this journey to find the previous team and protect the safety of the route.

Dudley was flying high in the sky, hanging with the resistance team about three kilometers behind the smuggling team. He wanted to use the smuggling team as bait to fish out all the big fish blocking the eastward advance of the resistance army.

The two convoys drove under the scorching sun for a whole day. The smuggling team in front changed directions four or five times, staying away from the ordinary caravan routes. They tried to find difficult places to walk, but cleverly avoided the quicksand and land. The area where desert monsters gather, without Dudley's eyes in the sky, would have been left behind by the resistance's reconnaissance capabilities alone. ,

Dudley looked at the sky. It would be sunset in less than an hour. The cliffs separating the desert and the Iron Lion Principality were less than [-] kilometers away. He flew back to the resistance army and ordered to slow down and march in concealment.

The soldiers used yellow rags to cover all the places exposed to the sun. The heat was a bit hot, but under the setting sun, it was difficult to detect the presence of this team with the naked eye from a distance in the sky.

Dudley set off again, keeping a close eye on the movement of the smuggling convoy ahead. He had a hunch that he was not the only one staring at this team. Perhaps Byres's airship force was somewhere ahead.

It stands to reason that it was getting dark and the smuggling team would not dare to turn on their car lights and should stop and camp, but they suddenly accelerated their speed and turned to head south.

"Yes!" Dudley put on the night vision goggles and could see clearly from a high position. He knew that the smuggling convoy had confirmed its safety and was now heading towards the hidden passage.

After traveling south for more than ten kilometers, a strange desert scene appeared in front of Dudley.

Perhaps due to the headwind caused by the alternation of day and night, some sand dunes began to move like waves, but there were two tall sand dunes that remained motionless, which was quite special in the endless slowly creeping desert.

Between the two tall sand dunes, a deep canyon suddenly appeared. The canyon was pitch black, as if it led to an underground abyss.

"So that's it!" Dudley finally understood. This is obviously a natural underground passage that will only appear when day and night alternate. When the headwind ends, the yellow sand will flood the entrance of the canyon again.

If not from the air, it would be difficult for people to see the entire landscape of this dune. In the shadow of the dunes, it would be even harder to find the canyon hidden in the darkness. If Dudley had driven the jeep past here, he would have missed it in all likelihood.

Dudley secretly remembered the location. There were more than 2000 rebels, all of whom Miya relied on to restore the country. There was no good way to replenish soldiers. Every life was precious. Dudley didn't want to use these 2000 people if it was not necessary. He was going to have a hard time with the smuggling team in Can Can Town. He planned to let the rebels wait for another day or two until the smuggling team left, and then use this channel to cross the mountains.

But just when Dudley was about to retreat, a shining signal flare was shot into the sky not far from the entrance of the canyon. Then, a mechanical roar sounded in the desert, in front of and on both sides of the smuggling convoy in Can Can Town. , dozens of dark chariots rushed out of the yellow sand, and searchlights as strong as sunlight shot out from all directions, suddenly illuminating the area as if it were daytime.

Dudley estimated that the leader of the smuggling team was scared to death. These chariots were obviously the defenders of the Iron Lion Principality on the desert border. They had been lying in wait for a long time, waiting for the smuggling team to step into the encirclement.

It was the first time Dudley saw the army of the Iron Lion Principality. They were indeed known as the Mechanical Empire. This army had almost no infantry. They were all steel chariots of different sizes. Their styles were somewhat like tanks or armored vehicles from the First World War on Earth. They were bulky. , rough, but the armor is really thick. Each tank has at least three or four artillery pieces. At a glance, the cold light is all aimed at the vehicles of the smuggling team.

The chariot troops started their artillery without any further ado, and the smuggling team reacted quickly. When the roar of the machines sounded, they began to turn around, hoping to rush out before the encirclement was completely formed.

At this time, the advantages of the civilian armed forces who were crawling around in the desert and licking blood with their swords were revealed. They had quick reactions, strong maneuverability, high desire for survival, and good sense of action. After all, it was a matter of life and death, and they would be ready in a few seconds. They dispersed quickly like a school of fish, and then retreated at full speed.

Of course, the Iron Lion chariot troops would not let the cooked duck fly. Hundreds of vehicle-mounted artillery unceremoniously began to bombard the retreating back of the smuggling team. For a while, a deafening explosion sounded. Yunxiao.

However, the vehicles of the smuggling team dispersed too quickly. In the first round of shelling, the area was filled with yellow sand. They were almost plowed with shells, but the effect was far less than expected. Only four or five jeeps were bombarded by shells. On the spot, although other vehicles were somewhat affected by the shells, they quickly drove out of the sand pit. Some vehicles even set up machine guns and began to fight back against the tank troops on the north side.

Dudley could tell at a glance the tactics of the smuggling team. A full-scale confrontation with the chariot troops would be a dead end. The west seemed safe, and the Iron Lion Army might ambush them on their way back, so they quickly changed their minds. Concentrate your efforts to break out to the north, and you may still have a chance of survival. Once you get close to the tank troops from the north, in order to avoid hurting your own troops, the tanks in other directions will cease fire and shrink the encirclement.

Why do the troops of the Iron Lion Principality appear here?Dudley was confused.

Dudley didn't think there was any benefit in driving the Iron Lion Principality's border guards to cross-border law enforcement and go to great lengths to ambush a smuggling caravan.At a glance, Dali saw that the Iron Lion Army had at least 80 tanks of various types. It was irrational to transfer so many troops from the border. As a result, the garrison at the border mountain pass would naturally be greatly reduced in strength.

Dudley was startled and figured out the connection.

Although the smuggling business group in Can Can Town is cautious and has good anti-reconnaissance capabilities, they are all aimed at enemies on the ground. If Dudley is following Dudley from the air on a flying broomstick, even if he goes around here and there, it is impossible to escape him. In the palm of his hand, Byres's airship troops should be able to track them easily. Now there is only one possibility for the last smuggling caravan to lose contact, and that is that it was annihilated by Byres's airship troops, and the secret of the smuggling channel , naturally also controlled by the Byres Army.

However, the Byres Army did not control this passage and launched a surprise attack. It must be that the other party found that this smuggling passage was very narrow and difficult to walk, and it was still not conducive to the march of the army, so they came up with a plan - to move the tiger away from the mountain.

Leak the information about the smuggling convoy to the Iron Lion defenders, and when they all come out, the airship troops can attack the mountain pass fortress of the Iron Lion Principality.
