Chapter 300: The Strange Banner (58/103) (Page 1/1)

"You mean, this flag was found in the middle of the battle?"

In the large tent in the center of the Prussian barracks, Kyiros asked in a deep voice with a frown.

Opposite him, three Prussian hoplites were half-kneeling, and in the center was a hoplite squad leader, answering a question from Kyiros.

"Yes, my lord, we were the first to rush to the Habsburg line, and according to the order, our squad was on the easternmost side of the line, and if we went further, we would leave the Habsburg line."

At this point, he pointed to the flag in front of him, and continued: "Where we encountered a group of enemy soldiers, and after a short encounter with them, they actually began to flee towards the perimeter of the defensive line, so we pursued them. Later, they were not chased, but the flag was found while tracking. ”

After listening to the account of the hoplite squad leader, Kyiros fell into silence, and his eyes became more and more low.

At this time, the commander of an infantry regiment on the left hand side of Kyiros stood up and said intently: "General, it is already obvious that the Zanost family has participated in the war, and it is not clear how many troops they have brought, but it will definitely pose a great threat to me!" ”

Kylos glanced at the Legion Commander, but nodded slightly, not speaking.

His gaze fell back on the flag in front of him.

The main part of the flag is a pair of huge wings of the eagle, and in the middle of the two wings, there is a pair of glasses with sharp eyes and a beak curved like a moon.

As the commander of the legion had said, this banner was undoubtedly the banner of the Sarnosts, and heraldry was a compulsory subject for nobles, and he had seen the pattern on it countless times in books, and even he himself could draw an identical one at any time.

And now, the only problem is that the banners of the Sarnosts, as well as their soldiers, should not appear above the Habsburg line at all.

Their family was located on the border between the Wittelsbach and Habsburgs, and although it was close to Vienna, it normally took almost six days to get here, but now, only four days have passed!

"Will it ...... They had rushed here to fight when the Habsburgs had recruited the surrounding nobles. In the camp, another corps commander of the archery corps spoke of a possibility.

The words of the commander of the archer legion immediately aroused the approval of most of the people present, indeed, it is completely explainable that the army of the Sarnost family has actually been here all along, so it is natural to find their family's banner.

Kyiros didn't confirm or deny it, but just looked at the generals present and asked, "Have any of you seen the soldiers of the Zanost family before this?!" ”

No one answered......

As soon as this question came out, everyone in the audience immediately lost their voices, and those who originally opened their mouths hurriedly closed their mouths, because they had never seen it, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense about uncertain things in this kind of military aircraft matter.

"Well, the battlefield is chaotic, and there are too many flags of various families in the Habsburg coalition, and it makes sense that you can't find Sarnost among those families."

In the end, it was the commander of the archer corps who stood up and said stubbornly.

In any case, they needed an explanation for the matter now, and they really didn't want to face the worst explanation, so they could only prevaricate with such ambiguous words.

"Well, that barely makes sense." Kylos nodded, confirming the Archer's Commander's statement, but his tone was decidedly less certain.

He took half a step forward, bent down to pick up the flag on the ground, and looked at it in front of him.

It is true that the pattern on the banner is Sanost's, but the workmanship of this banner is really a little rough, and the traces of needlework and thread are sparse and dense, compared to their family's, this banner is simply a rag.

But he has not seen the actual flag of the Sarnost family, and all his knowledge is obtained from the pictures, considering that Sarnost is only a poor little noble family, so it seems that it is not an inexplicable thing to have such a shoddy flag.

In the end, Kyiros snorted coldly, grabbed the flag in his hand and walked quickly to the brazier next to the camp, raised his hand and threw the flag into it, and then he turned to look at the people present and said: "In any case, we can't rule out the possibility that reinforcements from Charles VI have arrived here, let all the soldiers seize the time to rest today, and tomorrow we will start the siege as soon as possible, and take Vienna in one fell swoop, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" ”

"In addition, no one can say anything about this matter, otherwise it will be a felony to disturb the morale of the army, and the end will never be much better than this flag!"

Kylos said coldly, in the brazier beside him, the flag was being licked by tongues of fire, and the flames spread rapidly along the flag, and it didn't take long for the entire flag to completely turn to ashes.

The fire shone brightly on everyone's faces, and the generals of the Prussian regiment immediately nodded yes, and they all knew what was important, and no one dared to talk nonsense about this matter.

Then Kylos waved his hand impatiently, telling everyone to retreat.

When the others had departed, the tent suddenly became empty, leaving him alone in it, forbidding the others to talk, but he himself could not help but have to think about it.

"In case, then Charles VI first blocked the news for a few days to send out a request for help, and then released the news to let us know ......"

Thinking of this, Kylos didn't dare to think about it, this matter was too big, and he could only take one step at a time.

The headache that had been alleviated a lot had struck again at this moment, and Kylos pressed his temples with both hands, his brows furrowed together, and everything added up to make him feel completely bored.

"Alas...... Maybe I'm too tired, I should really get some rest. Kylos sighed and whispered, then walked towards the bedroom on the inside of the tent with his forehead in his hands.

Lying on the large velvet bed, he felt his headache lessen somewhat, and a moment later, a slight snoring sounded in the bedroom.

On this day, the soldiers of the entire Prussian regiment began to rest, and the cavalry of the Habsburgs had been wiped out, and they no longer had to worry about being attacked, and now they could finally sleep well.
