"Of course, I will go and report immediately. We have finally received reinforcements..." The captain rushed off, and soon after entering the city, cheers erupted from the city walls.
Qin Mo glanced at the Great Xia army on the city wall, feeling the spiritual legacy left to him by his adoptive father Qin Lan, and sighed, "Let the brothers put on their armor... Let's give them some confidence."
Taking Maimai City at this time of year was indeed unexpected, but the orcs' counterattack will surely be fierce. In the northern winter, supplies and reinforcements will be difficult to sustain, and the tough battle is yet to come!
Three thousand warriors in full iron armor and several thousand Japanese soldiers in leather armor drove long sleds into the city one after another. The weapons and arrows on the sleds reflected the sunlight, which gave the defending soldiers great confidence.
When the most elite veterans and Qin Mo's elven brothers and sisters escorted him into the city, the defending army finally cheered. The sharp battle aura emanating from the veterans and the arrogance in the eyes of the elven archers all indicated that this was not a ragtag private army of some rural nobles, but the strongest noble retinue of the Great Xia Dynasty—Qin Lan's former subordinates.
Because Qin Mo hadn't sent anyone to contact them beforehand, and the General's Mansion hadn't made any prior arrangements, the army's entry into the city was somewhat chaotic. Of course, no one would have expected nearly ten thousand sleds to enter the city at the same time. Fortunately, they were eagerly awaiting reinforcements, so they had prepared the necessary camps for the reinforcements well in advance; otherwise, it would have been even more chaotic.
"Your Highness, I am truly impressed by your ingenuity in devising such a method for transporting military supplies." The General's Office temporarily dispatched a captain named Huang Yue to arrange the camping matters for his subordinates.
"Hehe! Our soldiers have come from afar to fight for the north. If they lack food and weapons, wouldn't a general feel ashamed?" Qin Mo chuckled, implying that his army could not lack food or weapons, and that they should not try to take these supplies for the time being.
"Alas! When the city of Maicheng fell, the orcs went berserk and burned a lot of food and weapons. Fortunately, the Rakshasa were afraid of death and did not dare to burn the warehouses in their defense zone, otherwise the brothers would have gone hungry. Even so, the food is barely enough to eat now, and arrows are in great short supply."
"Commander Huang, since we are all comrades in the army, we can't let everyone be without arrows. After I meet with the Governor, I will naturally share some of the military funds with the General's Mansion. It's just a drop in the ocean, but it's my way of showing my appreciation." Qin Mo had already made up his mind to give 30% of the military funds directly to Zhao Qirui, which would be considered as paying homage to him.
"Really? In that case, I thank Your Highness on behalf of my brothers." Huang Yue didn't expect Qin Mo to be so generous. In their eyes, nobles were the vanguard against the orcs, but they were also greedy and a bunch of vampires.
"Huh! What are those Rakshasa people doing? And those dogs... no way?"
