Chapter 184: The Rabble

After listening to Eugen's arrangement, Viscount Liszt was immediately convinced, he naturally knew that this arrangement would make the battle more efficient and greatly reduce the casualties of the soldiers, and he already admired this Earl Eugen a little in his heart.

It's just that on the surface, Viscount Liszt is still lukewarm, pretending to look down on Eugen.

Eugen just smiled when he saw it, and didn't pay much attention to it, anyway, as long as this Viscount Liszt didn't block him and could strictly implement the order, it would be fine.

This is the characteristic of the troops under the name of Count Sartre, even if the subordinates don't like their superiors, they will strictly complete the orders given by the superiors, and it can be said that they have basically achieved the words "order and prohibition".

Half an hour later, Eugen's order was passed down in detail to every soldier in every squad.

In the end, 300 soldiers went to the main mountain road in the southwest to attract the attention of the other party as a feint force, and 200 soldiers followed Eugen from the eastern mountain road to the bandits' lair, killing the robbers and rescuing Caterina and others.

These arrangements are very reasonable, there is nothing special, but in the arrangement of the generals, there have been some changes.

Viscount Liszt, who was supposed to be the commander of the feint force, was taken by Eugen and accompanied him in the attack, and the feint force instead appointed one of Viscount Liszt's subordinates as commander.

The reason given by Eugen was that he was not familiar with Caterina and it was time-consuming and laborious to find, so he needed the help of Viscount Liszt, who was more familiar with the terrain inside, which was very important for the attacking troops.

Eugen knew some of Viscount Liszt's temperament, and when he spoke, he used some agitation, and Viscount Liszt screamed, saying that he wanted to sacrifice his blood for Count Sartre.

In fact, there is another reason why Eugen did not say it, that is, he was worried that Count Liszt's brain would not be controlled, and he would turn the feint attack force into the main attack force by pretending to act, resulting in a large number of casualties among the soldiers.

For such a person, Eugen felt more comfortable keeping him around.

In this way, the two troops agreed on the approximate time of the attack, and then went to the two mountain roads separately to prepare for the attack.

The sun casts thousands of rays of light in the sky, shining on the snow and ice on the treetops, shining like diamonds, and looking crystal clear and beautiful.

It was a rare sunny day in the mountainous region around the Po River, and such weather had both disadvantages and advantages for Eugen.

Because the light is too bright, the attack is not guaranteed to be sudden, and it is likely to be detected in advance. However, this will help them find the captured Caterina and others, and reduce variables.

Around noon, most of the robbers were cooking and eating, and their precautions naturally relaxed.

Eugen and Liszt led two hundred light cavalry, lowered their bodies and slowly leaned towards the entrance and exit to the east, Eugen had sent people to investigate before, there was only a squad of a dozen soldiers stationed here, and because of the cold weather, these people were crowded in the house, and no one wanted to come out to patrol.

It's a rabble, they gather for no reason, they just exist to survive, piled up like wild beasts.

Because of this, they can't talk about any rules and regulations when they get together, and they are 108,000 miles worse than the regular army.

Eugen thought they had a good chance of being discovered, but when they entered the valley through the eastern entrance, they were not spotted by any robbers.

The entrance here is only a dozen meters wide, and on both sides there are steep slopes that wind upwards and are covered with jagged stones.

The butcher here has become the leader of the bandits, and since he became the boss, he has also considered some things, such as the fact that he once gave an order for his men to build a fence to seal off the entrances and exits.

However, although the order was given, no specific person was assigned to do it, and as a result, everyone pushed me and I pushed you, so that to this day, the so-called fence has not been built.

Eugen's troops easily entered the valley, and then more than twenty light cavalry, led by Liszt, dismounted, and quietly approached the house not far away.

A squad of more than a dozen robbers stationed here were now all huddled in the house, they had just had lunch, a few of them were sleeping on the thatch, and a few were sitting around the campfire, and some were talking nonsense.

"Hey, I heard that the black hairs went out this time and caught a big fish, it was a nobleman, and it is said that it can be exchanged for piles of silver coins when it is sold." A thin black-faced little old man said babblingly, it seems that this old man is almost fifty or sixty years old, and he can be a robber at this age.

Liszt had already led the team to the side of the door, and was about to immediately burst out and wipe out the people inside, but when he heard this, he hurriedly suppressed his gesture and signaled the team not to act rashly first.

A tiger-headed kid in the house said, "Who's to say it's not? I heard that there is a delicate aristocratic lady in it, that look, tsk, I don't know how many times stronger than the yellow-faced woman in my family, and she has a hot temperament, the boss fell in love with the chick at that time, and wanted her to go to bed tonight. ”

"Hehe, I'm sorry." Hearing this kid's words, a middle-aged hunter-like person next to him said: "Still sleeping, he is a bald man who really regards himself as an emperor, he used to be just a butcher in our village, relying on the two small money in the family to pretend, Lao Tzu went to him to sell meat, and actually wanted to deduct Lao Tzu's money, I caught him and beat him well, and now it has made him a climate." ”

The Orion said rather angrily, I don't know if he really disdains it, or if he is jealous in his heart.

The old man who spoke earlier agreed and said, "Yes, yes, but what is the way?" When the disaster broke out, the king bald man had steel knives and meat at home, so he gathered a group of young people to loot and burn everywhere, which slowly became today's climate. Alas, this is all fate, just like disasters are coming, and this is also fate! ”

As he spoke, the old man sighed, and the others followed suit.

Seeing that the topic could not be returned to Caterina, Liszt outside the door did not continue to wait, and made a decapitation gesture with a wave of his right hand, and the group of people rushed to the house with a hula.

The house was quite spacious, and more than 20 people squeezed in didn't feel crowded, the robbers were resting, and their weapons were all thrown aside, not to mention getting up to fight, and they couldn't even react.

As soon as the few people gathered around the fire stood up, a sword with a bright handle was added to their necks, and the blade reflected a cold glow.
