Section VII
In a small bay on the border between Portugal and Spain, through the vast *night 'color'* (please delete the banned book), a few fires are slowly approaching the shore. After a distance of less than 100 meters from the shore, it stopped, followed by the sound of "boom, boom" falling into the water. Then the clanging of iron tools also sounded, and from time to time a few people suppressed their voices and scolded: "Be careful, be careful, you 'bastards', the original night raid training was in vain, and you don't even know how to hide your voice!" ”
Murong Parrot stood on the side of the boat and said to the old Tefo, William, and Kidd beside him: "After I leave, you can act according to the plan, if you don't wait for us at the specified place within ten days." Traver, you're going back with your fleet! The Lord Guild has given you the reward you deserve. As he spoke, he looked past Old Teff and looked at the two people standing behind Old Tefo: "You two should go together, our navy is being formed, and you will definitely be reused!" ”
"General! Be careful along the way! "It's all here, what can the three foreigners say, they can only ensure that their chief officer has a smooth journey. After all, it was a bold move......
Murong Parrot didn't instigate anymore, he had already been neatly dressed, jumped into the dinghy, and prepared to land ashore.
Half a month ago, after the completion of the action plan, a scout team composed of Chinese soldiers and foreigners had already gone ashore to conduct reconnaissance, and at the same time to survey and guide the landing operations of the expeditionary fleet, and now is the time for them to start their actions.
When Murong Parrot set foot on this land, he didn't know that he had already made history. The first Chinese general to lead troops into Western Europe, and the expeditionary force was also the first Chinese unit to attack Western Europe. This may also represent the beginning of an era.
Murong Parrot beckoned, and immediately someone trotted over: "General, what do you command!" ”
A Venetian who grew up adventurous, at the age of sixteen he climbed aboard a merchant ship sailing to and from the Mediterranean, and after three years of smooth sailing, he finally fell into the hands of the Moors and was coerced into becoming a pirate. And it was during that unfortunate operation that he was captured by the expeditionary force. However, because of his origin and language ability, he was quickly selected by Kidd, and then after a conversation with Murong Parrot, he became the captain of the scout team that went ashore this time.
Dinozzo was very satisfied with this, especially the tough soldiers who had killed him without any reaction, and now that a few of them were under his command, he was more than satisfied. What's more, what he is doing now is definitely going to cause a sensation on the entire European continent, and the thought of this makes the young foreign soldier's blood boil.
So now that Murong Parrot has moved, he immediately came up. Murong Parrot looked at the sturdy young man in front of him, for him, Murong Parrot was still very satisfied, if he wanted to advance and retreat freely on the territory of Spain, it was not enough to rely on the soldiers he brought, he must have someone who knew the local situation very well to be a guide. Dinozzo was undoubtedly a good candidate, and the Moors had ruled the southern part of Spain for a long time and naturally knew the terrain well. Dinozzo had also read some information after 'messing' with the Moors for so long. And even more so in terms of language. Dinozzo can even imitate some of the regional dialects of Spain. What's more, DiNozzo was clever enough to 'mingle' with the Moors as a European for so long, which is proof enough.
"How's the preparation?" Although satisfied, Murong Parrot's tone was still light.
Di Nozo took out a map from his arms, and at the same time motioned to the soldiers holding torches behind him to come closer, and then spread the map in front of Murong Parrot: "This is here, our intelligence is not wrong, there is indeed a large horse farm, although there are only seven or eight hundred horses, but according to our observation, there are more than 1,500 cavalry stationed near this horse farm. The distance between the two was only an hour and a half on horseback, and the "Tiger Ben" also conducted a close reconnaissance of the barracks, proving that their defenses were lax, and I think we should be able to take it in a short time! ”
As for the pronunciation of the two Chinese characters 虎贲, Di Nozo is still not very accurate. However, it has become a custom for foreign soldiers to refer to Chinese soldiers in the expeditionary force in this way. Since the First World War at sea, these foreign soldiers thought that ordinary titles were not worthy of their brave comrades-in-arms, so a Chinese officer inadvertently revealed the "strong man and tiger ben" in the dialogue, and unwittingly became the exclusive name of the foreign soldier to the Chinese soldier.
And the new plan of the expeditionary force, it is very simple. Capture the horses and run to Seville as quickly as possible. The formation of this plan stems from the composition of the expeditionary force, which is probably the most diverse and geographically distributed army in the world. There were even quite a few blacks among the Moors they co-opted. Fortunately, the military system of the Han army is advanced, otherwise even if the three of Old Travers are capable, they will not be able to reorganize. Of course, there are advantages to having a wide range of sources, and intelligence is gathered quickly, and the expeditionary force now has more than 1,000 foreigners, many of whom have been to Spain. Thus, such a plan emerged.
For the new plan, Murong Parrot was very satisfied, he had fought with those people on horseback for so long, and he was skilled in these four words, and the expeditionary force he brought from China was well deserved. Now once the expeditionary force has captured the horse, although he has not gone through too long of running-in training, Murong Parrot also has absolute confidence to complete this mission.
This kind of large-scale landing was carried out by the expeditionary force when it was in China. So more than an hour later, more than 2,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force landed in a tense and orderly situation. The army that had completed the preparation, under the leadership of Murong Parrot, hurriedly approached the intended target.
The scout battalion used to deal with a small horse farm was a bit like killing 'chickens' with a knife, so when Murong Parrot arrived, the entire horse farm was already under the control of the expeditionary force. And the best jet-black horse in the horse farm was naturally reserved for Murong Parrot.
Looking at this Arabian horse, which was much taller than the 'Mongolian' ancient horse he had ridden before, Murong Parrot was thinking about whether to send two to China as well, this horse was selling elephants too well. However, Murong Parrot has not yet reached the level of judging horses by appearance, and he who has 'communicated' with these foreigners also knows that this horse can only be used by himself now, if it is said that he can use it for a long distance, it is still his own 'Meng' ancient horse, and now this kind of horse is too 'fine' and expensive. What's more, only a small part of the horse farm is war horses, and the rest can only rely on the next action.
The scouts, who were already old oilers, did not disappoint Murong Parrot, and more than an hour later, a barracks appeared in front of Murong Parrot's eyes, and the expeditionary forces did a good job of sneaking and hiding these things, even if they were about to 'force' into the camp 'gate' now. Obviously, the soldiers in the barracks didn't know anything yet.
Murong Parrot was extremely contemptuous of this, in the Han army, if this situation occurred, it would prove that the head of the officer who led the army was not very stable on the neck, even if the enemy army did not kill him, the military law would not let him go. The secret sentry outside the camp was not arranged, and the sentries were obviously weak under the lights around the camp, and even at this distance, Murong Parrot could see that they were still dozing.
In fact, this is also Murong Parrot's demand for these Spanish cavalry, they are just local garrisons. And the place is considered to be in the interior of Spain, the little Portugal in the west, naturally has no courage to attack them, France in the north is relatively strong now, but when they cross the Pyrenees and come here, it may be a matter of year and month, as for the sea, then they don't have to worry about it, and the "great" Spanish navy has no problem guarding their own home 'door'. Peace and security are the main themes of this barracks. And now, this theme will be broken!
With a wave of Murong Parrot's hand, the large army began to move in two ways, because they were basically one horse and two people, the infantry department blocked the 'gate' of the two battalions in front and rear, and the cavalry department circled around. This barracks is different from the wooden barracks in China, but a permanent 'sexual' stone barracks, which seems to have a relatively long history, probably dating back to the Moorish rule. However, Murong Parrot obviously didn't have that idle mood, but rushed forward with his own personal army.
At this time, the expeditionary force did not hide the sound of their horses' hooves, and more than 700 horsemen galloped wildly in an instant, in this silent night, it was nothing less than a thunderclap. But the Spanish soldiers who were awakened by the sound of hooves from their beds had no right to appreciate, and the first thing they ushered in was a rain of fire, and the skillful skills of the expeditionary force allowed their rockets to be distributed evenly to every part of the barracks, and the few sentries who were exposed under the torches were naturally the focus of the attack. They only had time to ring the alarm bell before they were 'shot' into hedgehogs and nailed to their posts.
Although most of the items in the barracks were made of stone, there were not many flammable materials such as 'fine' grass, so after a round of covering 'sex' strikes by the expeditionary force, the barracks burned throughout.
Then came the performance of Murong Parrot and his own army, although the camp 'gate' was very heavy, but under the impact of the twenty horsemen dragging the giant tree, it did not play a blocking role at all, and it was shattered in an instant. Subsequent expeditionary forces swarmed in.
By the light of the fire, Murong Parrot could clearly see the frightened expressions of the panicked soldiers when they saw the expeditionary forces, the biggest fear in the world came from the unknown. And the expeditionary force was in the eyes of these Spanish soldiers, and it happened to belong to the unknown category. Strange armor, strange tactics, strange weapons. In the face of all this, the Spanish soldiers were so dazed, when they hurried out, some of them just took a weapon in hand, and some did not even bring a weapon, but just came out empty-handed to see what was happening.
But the expeditionary force doesn't care if you're dressed neatly or not, the knights are 'spirits', that's what only Europeans talk about. Now there are only four words hanging high in their hearts, blood debt and blood repayment. For jackals, only knives and guns can teach them respect. The expeditionary forces are happy to be this teacher! Along the way, the expeditionary force encountered only one end for the Spanish officers and soldiers, death!
And one by one the torches were thrown into the barracks on both sides, and from the barracks, from time to time, two screams were heard. But all this is not the concern of the expeditionary force. In the early reconnaissance, the location of the stables in the barracks had already been discovered, and in the rocket strike, this was also the part that suffered the least damage, so although the war horses were a little 'commotion' and 'chaotic', when Murong Parrot arrived, everything was normal.
A small group of soldiers on duty in the stables had only just taken a picture before they were covered in a rain of arrows, and even if they were wearing the best plate armor in Europe that was now the most defensive, they still had any chance of surviving such a close-range covered blow.
The cavalry of the entire expeditionary force was now like a part of a well-built machine, perfectly carrying out the plan that had been drawn up before. The horses were sent out in batches, and the infantry outside the camp were armed into cavalry, and the armed cavalry joined the strangulation in the barracks. In this step-by-step cycle, the resistance in the barracks became weaker and weaker. And the cavalryization of the expeditionary force was basically completed.
When all the expeditionary forces were converted into cavalry, they did not stop any longer, and roared through the barracks, leaving only a sea of fire and a ravaged barracks.
Murong Parrot knew what the priority was now, and that was speed. It is less than 200 miles from here to Seville. He had just 'touched' his horse's foot strength, and knew that the horse's weight carrying capacity was much better than that of his previous mount in the sprint. Without sparing horsepower, it should be possible to reach Seville before dawn. As for this military camp, Murong Yu originally regarded him as a place to pick up his horse, and he called the police on Seville. Murong Parrot didn't think that they would be faster than an army like the expeditionary force, which was accustomed to long-distance raids.
Surrounded by the expeditionary force, Dinozzo couldn't help but be frightened after seeing the way the expeditionary force fought. After experiencing that sea battle, he felt that the combat power of the expeditionary force was terrifying enough. But when I saw the most familiar way of fighting for the expeditionary force, I was still shocked. I could see clearly that the soldiers around him didn't need their commanders to tell them what they should do with a look or a gesture. The whole army was not at all in the middle of the battle, and there was no excessive verbal 'exchange'. It relies on a tacit understanding and a kind of trust between comrades-in-arms. He saw with his own eyes a soldier with a saber in charge of opening the way, and when he faced the musket aimed at him, he did not even blink an eye, but continued his harvesting work, and just as the Spanish soldier was about to pull the trigger, there was already an extra feather in his throat.
With the shock of the previous battle, and then the result of only two serious injuries and sixteen minor injuries, it was not surprising that Dinozzo was counted. It seems that he has really found a good backer, Dinozzo muttered secretly in his mind.
