After Hawke went to the city, Haig immediately came up and reported: "Captain, the first squad is on the left, the fourth squad is on the right, we have controlled this section of the city wall, what should we do next?"

Haig, including all the soldiers of the fifteenth squad, already thought that they would not be able to rush out, and now they were just to kill a few more rebels, they had already dismounted, although all the war horses and spare horses had already gone up to the city with us, but not many of them felt that they still had a chance to continue riding them, and the reason why they still brought them up was just that they did not want to give up every comrade.

Hawke did not dismount, but saw that the horse rode to the edge of the city wall, and the city was dark, and Hawke ran to the city to get his nearest torch, and the warriors were all looking at their captain, and no one understood what their captain was doing.

Hawke returned to the edge of the city wall again, threw down the torch in his hand, the torch quickly fell to the ground, the fire did not disappear, outside the city was the land of interpretation, not the surface of the water, Hawke asked Haig: "Haig, how high do you say this wall is?"

Haig frowned at the burning light of the torch, and after a rough estimate, said, "About three meters......! When he said the word "no", he seemed to think of something, so much so that he paused, and by the time he said the word "high", his face was already full of joy.

"When I usually go out on a mission, don't always follow me and don't think about anything, no matter where you are, the first priority is to be familiar with the environment we are in! The reason why I chose to break through to the north is because the height of the northern wall is low, the lowest point is only three meters, and the highest point is not more than five meters, and our war horses can completely jump out of the city!" Hawk's bright eyes brought more than just morale to the soldiers in the firelight.

The fourth squad leader came over and said to Hawke: "Captain, I will guard the city wall, you guys get out of the city as soon as possible!"

"You've ......"

Hawke didn't finish speaking, and the fourth squad leader had already interrupted him: "All along, our fourth squad has been the last barrier of the fifteenth squad, although I haven't been in the fourth squad for a long time, but the fine tradition cannot be broken!"

Hawke didn't say anything, the second squad took over the defense line of the fourth squad, and the fourth squad shouted: "All the four squads are there, follow me on the stairs to defend and cover the brothers of the reconnaissance squad to come up!"

"Motionless as a mountain!" the cries of the remaining seven members of the fourth class echoed above the city walls.

The fourth squad leader looked at the seriously wounded man who was sitting on the root of the city, struggling to stand up and join them, and he said to the wounded: "Kent, sit down, you have to save your strength, the enemy will come up sooner or later, and there will be a time for you to kill!"

The seriously wounded Kent sat down slowly, put the scimitar horizontally on his lap, leaned a spear he had picked up from the dead defenders to his hand, and said with a smile to the fourth squad leader: "Yes, when you all don't move, that's when I move!"

Hawke faced all the fighters of the fourth class, his right fist was heavily clasped on his chest, and after saluting, he said to Kent: "Kent, you come with us!"

Kent shook his head: "The tradition of our fourth class, all those who are in good health are qualified to go! They can still fight, and I! have been injured, then I will stay and delay the enemy! Captain, the reason why we call it 'Immovable as a mountain is the fourth class' is because none of the people who stayed behind can move!" After speaking, Kent actually laughed happily, maybe the laughter was a little big, and it touched the wound, Kent frowned for a while.

Hawke wanted to take the wounded away, but now he couldn't take Kent away, even jumping from this three-meter height might kill Kent, he saluted Kent again, and all the soldiers of the fifteenth squad were already sitting on their horses, waiting for Hawke's order.

"All of them, let's jump out of Bucharest, be careful, take as many spare horses as possible!"

"Captain, go quickly, I'll drive the horses, rest assured, if these fellows refuse to go, I will stab them, and not let any horse fall into the hands of the Romanians. Kent stood up with his spear in hand, and Hawke wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, and he beat his horse and went over the wall first.

Don't think that the first one to jump over the wall is to run away, in the dark of night, you can't see the situation outside the city, just jump like this, it's hard to know what kind of ground it will fall on.

Hawke finally landed safely, he quickly ran a few steps forward to make way for his companions, and the soldiers of the fifteenth squad began to jump over the wall in squads, and on the whole, it went well, except that two horses broke their front hooves and held down one of the fighters, there were no problems.

Seeing that the large army had already left the city, Kent signaled to his comrades, and the soldiers of the fourth squad slowly retreated to the city wall, and after a short battle, they added two more seriously wounded, but for the time being, no one was killed.

As the youngest squad leader of the fourth squad, he was put on a war horse by the soldiers, and reluctantly went out of the city first, and the other soldiers also jumped out one after another, leaving only three seriously wounded in the city, the Romanians had already surrounded them, and there were nearly forty war horses that did not jump out, Kent suddenly wanted to cry, not because he might lose his life, but because he did not fulfill his promise to the captain.

He raised his sword, and Romania retreated three steps, and at this time, facing three enemies who were seriously wounded and rapidly losing their vitality, they did not want to pay the price with their lives.

Kent's sword did not fall on any of the enemy's bodies, but slashed at the neck of a war horse beside him, hot blood gushed out, the wounded war horse neighed, its mournful scream made the horses panic, several war horses who hesitated and did not want to jump out of the city wall, finally jumped out, but more only in the same place.

"Quick, stop them! they're going to kill the horses!" a Romanian squad leader finally understood, and he shouted hoarsely.

The other two wounded soldiers also reacted, and the war horses in their hands also landed on the war horses beside them, and there were two more mournful screams, and the horses were finally startled, and they scrambled to jump out of the city wall.

Several Romanian spears were pierced with angry spears, and three wounded soldiers were shot several times, and they fell unwillingly on the city wall, and no more than ten horses finally fell into the hands of the Romanians. It's a pity that after these nearly forty war horses jumped out of the city, they scattered and fled, and most of the war horses did not join the fifteenth team.

The fifteenth squad galloped all night, and in the early morning of the next day, they stopped to rest for a while, and on the way they also encountered a dozen cavalry that seemed to be back to Bucharest, for the fifteenth squad in the wilderness, these dozen cavalry were not their opponents at all, when the power of the war horses was fully exerted, the power of the fifteenth squad burst out, and the power of the fifteenth squad could not be said to be the same as in the city of Bucharest, only one of them, more than a dozen horses were all counted, and their war horses were obtained by the fifteenth squad except for a few that ran away, which was a small supplement。

Early in the morning, the reason why they stopped, because they found the body of the cavalry sent out to contact Nadrak yesterday evening, Hawke squatted next to the corpse, and it could be seen that he had fought hard, trying to fight for his own life, but in the end he was killed by a knife, thinking of the cavalry he had encountered before, obviously, they had been under the surveillance of the Romanians, and the soldiers sent to contact northern Romania would not be in a good situation.

The fifteenth squad counted the number of people, plus the remnants of the four squads that caught up later, there were still thirty-seven people left in the fifteenth squad, and last night's battle plus those who fell behind and lost, a total of thirteen people were lost, and almost everyone else was injured.

Half a month later, Hawke returned to Nadrak with difficulty with the dragoon scouts commanded by Hans, although Yu Wuming repeatedly asked him to sit down, but he still insisted on standing and reporting their withdrawal from Bucharest.

Along the way, Hawke and the others really realized what a people's war was, in the south of Romania, where they had little place to stay, where the populace was more inclined to Don Quixote's rebels, who were unwilling to provide any provisions for the fifteenth squad, and in many places the National Guard was organized to strike at the remnants of the Empire.

For the cavalry of the fifteenth squad, the speed of movement is already their strength, but it is a big problem to not get supplies, people are okay, omnivores, although in winter, there are always animals that will come out to move, more or less can hunt together prey to fill the hunger, there is really no food, killing two horses can always fill the stomach, but the war horse can only eat grass, there is not much grass in the winter, and to make the horse strong, but also to supplement a large amount of bean feed, where can the fifteenth squad go to find bean feed?

When Hans found the fifteenth squad, only half of the fifteenth squad remained, and they were all in disarray, and the horses were almost standing and shaking, and they had either eaten the surplus horses or released them to fend for themselves, and finally reached the point of Nedrak, barely to the point of one man and one horse.

Yu Wuming handed the tea to Hawke and asked, "Lieutenant Hawke, do you mean that southern Romania has been completely occupied by the rebels, and the rebels have not resisted?"

"Your Excellency, it cannot be said that there is no resistance, but the resistance of the Imperial side is light enough to inflict heavy losses on the Romanians, and the field troops of the Empire stationed in the Romanian region belong to the Marquis of Linton, who are not willing to retreat to Nedrak, preferring to retreat north with little provisions, rather than come here. Hawke remembered that on the way he had come across a disgruntled battalion of about two companies, where they had been partially supplied.

Those people wanted to invite them to go north with them, but after thinking about it, they still came to Nedrak, and they also invited this battalion to come to Nedrak, but they sternly refused. This is in line with what Yu Wuming heard about the Marquis Linton's troops insisting on going north.

"Do you have any news from the Fourteenth Squad?" Yu Wuming asked again.

"Report to Brigadier General, no," Hawke replied immediately.

"When was the last time they contacted you?"

"Half a month ago, I haven't been in touch with us since. Half a month ago, when we contacted us, they were in Botoshani, they were going to spend the New Year there, after which if there was no abnormality, we would go halfway to Botoshani, meet them, and then pass through the Ukrainian steppe and return to the imperial capital from Poland. Hawke reported to Yu Wusheng the exit route he had discussed when he contacted the Fourteenth Team before.

These circumstances are consistent with the information received by the Management Office, but they do little to help the current situation, Botoshani has fallen in this rebellion, and if Hawke's account is true, then it is likely that Squad 14 no longer exists.

The news from the north that Gerald and the others had reached the vicinity of Botoshani, because that area had completely fallen into the hands of the rebels, so Gerald did not rush in, they conducted a series of reconnaissance around the perimeter, and did not find any news from the 14th Squad, they were ready to reconnoiter for three days, if there was no news after three days, they were ready to retreat.
