Eight
On the way to the procession, Guderian returned to the convoy carrying the remains of the soldiers and the wounded, and said a brief farewell to the soldiers. These comrades-in-arms, who had fought side by side with Guderian, thought so, and silently saluted Guderian with his right fist to his chest when Guderian returned to the ranks of the guards. This is admiration and blessing from the bottom of my heart.
"Guderian, they're all for you. Augustine looked at the soldiers in the convoy in the distance who were silently saluting, and said enviously to Guderian, who had just returned to the queue.
"It's a warrior's glory. Sonny said, "Augustine, you will have such glory in the future." ”
"Hmph, not necessarily. Even if there is, it should be a time for a funeral. Sophia didn't know when she appeared next to Sony.
"......" Guderian has a black line.
"Oh...... Sophia, do you expect me to die in battle with such a handsome, brave and upright person? It's so sad......" Augustine put his hands on his heart and pretended to wail.
"Yo, Augustine, so you've always had a crush on our Sophia. Tsk, have you ever thought about how the brothers felt?" the rider overtook Sophia and Sony, alongside Augustine.
"Renault, help us teach this toad a lesson. The horseman on the right side of the marshal's carriage in front turned back to Renault, who was side by side with Augustine.
"Hmph, there are more people who have a crush on this knight, not one less than him, not one more than him. "Sophia is very tsundere.
"Oh...... My poor heart, I'd better talk to Master Anvila......" Augustine pretended to be upset, "Guderian, go, I'll take you to meet the most beautiful and touching female mage." Augustine's face, which was still sad in the previous sentence, immediately brightened when he said the latter, and his eyes lit up.
"Hey, don't go, it's on the march now!" Sophia stopped with a huff.
Guderian shook his head, it was obvious that they were a pair of enemies who had not confessed to each other.
"Hahaha......" laughed Renault next to Augustine.
Sony shook his head as well.
"Anyway, it's not wartime, and the marshal doesn't care. Let's go, Guderian, Master Avira is very knowledgeable and gentle. Unlike some others, huh. Augustine looked like a nymphomaniac.
"Uh...... Let's not go, the mage regiment will march with the cavalry brigade, which will be at least twenty or thirty miles away from us. I guess I've already met with the orc scouts. Guderian looked at the sun and said.
"That's it, idiot. Even if you see Master Avira, she won't pay attention to you. General Roglis is a heartthrob. Sophia taunted Augustine from behind.
"Guderian, have you met General Rogris?" Augustine ignored Sophia's taunt and changed the subject.
"Not yet. Before the cavalry torrent, where to divide the general Roglis is. Guderian recalled the shocking scene of the torrent of iron horses.
"You'll have to take a good look at that chance. That's a wicked!" Augustine adored, "There is no one of the youngest, most handsome, and most powerful knights and warriors. Still a general!"
"Yes, General Roglis is worthy of the three most. Sonny also adored.
"Guderian, as a knight, a warrior, General Roglis is a legend. Renault also adored.
Guderian was full of curiosity about Roglis for a while: "How young is General Rogris?"
"It should look like you. Sophia picked up in the back.
"I don't know how old I am......" Guderian pointed straight out of the black line.
"Uh...... Hee-hee, forgot, Guderian you have amnesia. Sophia was a little embarrassed.
"General Roglis is twenty-eight years old. Augustine replied.
"To put it this way...... Guderian, you're about twenty-eight years old. Sonny looked at Guderian. Guderian had a new bandage on his head, his beard had not been shaved for many days, and the left waist of the chain mail and his shirt had a large tear leaking out the wound that had been bandaged. The long blond hair looked messy because it was bandaged around the head and I didn't take care of it, and I didn't have time to take care of it. But with black eyes, a tall nose, slightly thick lips, and an angular face, it still looks very tasteful.
"Renault, set up camp and take Guderian to the logistics to get a set of Mingguang armor. Sony said to Renault in front of him.
The troops marched in such a seemingly relaxed atmosphere, and did not stop encamping until the sun went down. The same place where Guderian had asked the soldiers to disguise the camp last night. The difference is that last night it was camouflaged behind the high slope, and this time it is the main reinforcement camp standing in front of the high slope. The marshal's arrangement of the camp was decent, and four camps were set up five miles to the left and right, each with 7,000 soldiers and horses, led by four generals. The marshal's camp was in the center, with 10,000 horses. Five miles from the rear was a camp of more than 8,000 reserve troops.
Guderian hadn't had a good rest for days and nights, and his strong physique and perseverance had kept him from falling down until now. After camping, he said goodbye to Sonny and went to sleep.
It's just that...... Guderian was woken up by Renault.
"Prepare for battle. ”
"What time is it, what's going on outside, what are they?" asked Guderian as he straightened his armor and weapons. In the tent, only Renault, who was already ready to go, waited for Guderian under the photocopy of the torches outside the tent. Outside the tent, there was the sound of neat running, the grinding of clothes and armor, and the orders of the lieutenants, the slogans, and the hooves of horses.
"It's the middle of the night, and it's two hours before dawn. Captain Sony: They were always on duty by the marshal's side. You're the only one sleeping...... Of course not blaming you. Everyone knows you haven't rested for days and nights. Renault said as he drew up the curtain of the tent so that the light of the fire outside would illuminate the tent a little. "General Rogris led the cavalry through the orc lines and took the Eagle Guard out of the encirclement. But the orcs clung to it, and the front battalions on the left and right flanks had already engaged the enemy, while our middle battalion was responding to the remnants of the retreating Eagle Guard...... General Roglis gave them a broken queen. Eagle Guard...... There were only more than 6,000 left, and General Augustine was seriously wounded, as was Adjutant Gus...... Also, many of the bodies of the Eagle Guards who died in battle could not be brought out......" Renault's eyes were red, and his voice hid sadness and anger.
The atmosphere was heavy. Guderian changed into the Mingguang armor that had been prepared by the side, put on his long sword and slasher, and pulled down the armor: "Let's go." ”
Stepping out of the camp tent and turning over the horses, in the large battalion, all branches of the army are methodically busy with this kind of fortification. When Guderian and Renault approached the queue where the marshal was outside the camp, the 3,000 troops of various arms who had already gathered outside the camp gate stood quietly in the bright torches. These 3,000 men and horses can be drawn in addition to the 2,000 men who remained, and the other 5,000 men and horses went out to support General Rogris, and at the same time to meet the retreating Eagle Guard.
The marshal rode a yellow horse and looked silently into the darkness in the distance.
The sound of horses' hooves galloped from far and near, and the knight turned over and dismounted and knelt on one knee: "Report to the marshal, the front battalion of the left flank has forced back the alliance of orcs and underground races, and has joined General Rogris." ”
At the same time, the sound of another horse's hooves came from far and near, and the knight turned over and dismounted and knelt on one knee: "Report to the marshal, the front battalion of the right flank has broken through the encirclement of the orcs and the underground coalition army, and is converging with the middle battalion to meet the withdrawal of the remnants of the Eagle Yang Guard." ”
One after another, the rear battalions on the left and right flanks and the flood of cavalry of General Roglis sent the battle reports back to the marshal.
After a quarter of an hour of silence, the marshal gave the order to advance to where the left flank was.
Some of the guards followed the marshal, while others roamed around the line in groups of five. Guderian was in one of them. The other four were Renault, Richard, Jerry, and Elizabeth, one of the four female knights in the marshal's personal guard.
In a team of three thousand people, there were five infantry squadrons, two bow and crossbow squadrons, two cavalry squadrons, one artillery squadron. The formation is: the infantry is three in the front and two in the back, the bow and crossbow artillery are in the center, and the cavalry is flanked. The marshal was in the infantry queue at the back. Guderian's five-man group was now two miles in front of the right side of the team.
