The rain fell on the bright armor and turned into a white splash, and on a black rainy night, a large number of soldiers were searching along the woods, and lightning flashed, illuminating the gray pupils of Baron Saint-Sauva, the military chief of O'acha,

He rode on a black-spotted and white horse, his hand clutched the whip, and he tapped his long leather riding boots with some impatience.

More than a dozen officers with stern expressions rode side by side behind him, all looking a little wolf, being dragged out of the warm bed in the middle of the night, how could it not be a very happy thing, the rain hit their iron helmets, and their hair was wet, "As the person in charge of the outpost, the enemy swaggered past, and you didn't even have a report, what a dereliction of duty!"

Saint-Sauva turned around, his eyes swept over these dejected subordinates, the news of the attack on the capital reached here as quickly as possible, Saint-Sauvelle, who was still in the front-line fortress, finally couldn't sit still, according to the intelligence from the capital, the capital of the attack was a cavalry unit,

The number of people is about 1,000 people, and the combat power is strong, but the most important thing is the direction in which the other party appeared, which is obviously directly passed through the defense area of Baron Saint-Sauva, which is tantamount to a slap in the face for Saint-Sova, who has just delivered a qiē peace report, he can imagine his sovereign's distorted face "Must, find out these bold enemies immediately!"

Saint Sova didn't dare to delay in the slightest, it was raining outside, even if the other party left traces, it would be washed away by the rain tomorrow morning, and it would be too difficult to figure out the movements of this enemy at that time.

He mobilized all his soldiers and searched in the direction that would most likely become the enemy's crossing path, hoping to find the horseshoe prints where the enemy came and went, the Oacha area was not large, and the front line where Baron Saint-Sauva was located. It was only fifty miles away from the rear capital, and within that distance the cautious Baron Saint-Sauvet had set up a dozen sentry posts, and God knows how these enemies got through,

Of course, it is not ruled out that it rained heavily, and the sentries at the sentry post ran in to hide from the rain, but all the sentry officers said that they were not derelict in their duties, and the soldiers on the sentry never escaped the rain. "That's strange, is the enemy flying over with wings?" Baron Saint-Sauva touched his chin in confusion, and ten minutes later, the news came from the investigation along the way, and the bodies of the sentry were found at the seventh and ninth sentry posts, "The enemy's sharp arrows pierced the sentry throat at a long distance, so that the sentry could not sound the alarm, and the other companions did not know that the sentry on duty was dead" said the military superintendent who came to report We also found out when we were counting the number of people. One of the sentries was missing, and the body was well hidden with leaves, and it took us some time to find it, while the other outposts were unusual. The personnel are all there, the soldiers are holding on in the rain, and no one is lazy"

The search continued into the second half of the night, and finally there was some news.

Baron Saint-Sauva and his men rushed to the beach at the edge of the forest, it was autumn, and the water in the river was not deep. An officer was squatting in the shallow water of the river beach, flipping a few scattered river beach pebbles in his hand, and when he saw the horse team of Baron Saint-Sauvie, the young officer quickly stood up and saluted, "Ryan?

Baron Saint-Sauva reined in his horse, he recognized the young officer in front of him, Leansbury, an officer from the army's logistics department, everyone sent out this time, so Leanspary was not spared, "Yes, Lord Commander-in-Chief, although there is no completely definite evidence, judging from these trampled stones, it should have been trampled by heavy objects!"

Lean Spari picked up a piece of stone that he had just looked over, and handed it to Baron Saint-Sauvis on the horse, "The biggest possibility is a war horse, and there are a lot of war horses, otherwise the stones on the entire river beach will not be scattered!" "River beach!"

Saint-Sauva took the stone and looked at it, the crack was neat, as if it had been cut by a sharp blade, this was a sign of being crushed by a heavy object, and such signs were almost all over the entire river beach, he immediately sent someone to run along the river beach, and it was really such a scene everywhere "Where is the upper reaches of this river?" Saint-Sauva asked with a solemn expression, as if he suddenly remembered something

"Pauillac Village!" Leanspary touched his nose and said in a low voice, "That's the area of the Ninth Outpost, I think they should have found out."

"That's right!" a flash flashed across Saint-Sauva's face, the enemy's trajectory was so strange, it was simply because there was a section of the road that went directly along the shallows of the river, and the two outposts where the corpses were found happened to be located in the middle and upper reaches of this river.

"Order the squadrons to assemble, and we will go downstream to look for them!" Baron Saint-Sauva ordered, "The enemy has attacked the capital, but many signs indicate that this arrogant small force of cavalry did not choose to withdraw immediately, but is still hovering between our defense area and the capital, the other side has only a thousand men, while we have eight thousand, along the clue of the river beach, the enemy's route is already obvious, I will catch them to wash away the insult to me!"

The rain was pouring down, and it was almost impossible to see the road ahead, and the whole column of soldiers marched in the direction of the river, spears like snow, shining in the rain,

The search party began to narrow down, and in the mud downstream of the river, they found a large number of horseshoe marks, targeting the Annaba region downstream, which was a forest that was best used for concealment

"Your Excellency, our striker has encountered the enemy!"

"Hold them back as best you can, the squadrons hasten up!" shouted Baron Saint-Sauvelle, raising his whip and looking excited, as if he had seen the scales of victory tilt in his favor, and since the cavalry of the opposing party had come on rapidly, the whole of O'Acha had been almost defeated without a fight, and in a few days he had lost two-thirds of his area,

And now, the other side has the audacity to directly ignore themselves and storm the capital located in the rear, which is really too much, for the soldiers of O'Acha, this is a naked insult!

At dawn, the rain stopped, and the white mist spread among the forests, like a flowing white ribbon, revealing a bit of coldness, and at the edge of the forest, the corpses of some people and horses lay there.

After contact, the enemy retracted from the forest,

Baron Saint-Sauvis stopped his horse, looked at the enemy emerging from the forest in the distance, and frowned slightly, "This seems to be the costume of the steppe cavalry!"

These cavalrymen were dressed in black armor, with pointed caps, and powerful compound bows, and the curved knives of the crescent moon carried a strange feeling, and one of the officers, who was obviously of status, rode out of the ranks, and looked at himself with a dark luster, cold, bloody gaze, I don't know why, Baron Saint-Sauva had a chill under this gaze,

It seems that he is the prey, and the other party is the hunter!(To be continued......
