"Yo, it's still a princess!" Who knew that the leader of the Sara people didn't care, waved his hand and said: "Don't talk so useless nonsense, you just say yes or not, if you don't agree, this leader will send troops to kill directly, if you agree, then please let your Royal Highness the dear princess come over, the warriors of this leader are already impatient!" ”

Nicola relied on her own ability, and she didn't take the opponent she didn't know in her eyes at all, and she also considered the current shape, if the two armies fight, no matter whether they win or lose, the army will inevitably have heavy losses, and it also delays the time of the march, whether it can reach the town of Basel within three days is really hanging, as long as you win the warrior of the leader, you can bring the army over completely, she immediately gritted her teeth and agreed: "Okay, this princess agreed, what about your people?" Let him come and die! ”

"What's the hurry? My warriors are ready! After saying this, Bark, the leader of the Sarahs, turned and walked towards his army, and then shouted to a masked man in the army on a tall war horse, "General Balhan, it's up to you next, Buck's business is done!" ”

"Thank you!" The masked Balhan nodded, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and shaking the reins, and the war horse slowly walked out of the military formation, and then jogged to a few dozen meters away from Nicola.

The appearance of the masked Balhan was very vulture, and there were no cavalry in the Sara army, and even the leader Buck walked on his legs, and Balhan rode alone, much to Nicola's surprise.

After Balhan stopped by the reins, Nicola remembered what Buck had called Balhan. So he said loudly: "What general did he call you just now?" What is a general? ”

Balhan's face froze, and he immediately said: "The general is the commander of the army, this is the title of the person who leads the army. The Hu Empire has long used this name, and those of us in the deep mountains know it, so doesn't Her Royal Highness the Princess know? ”

Nicola was a little embarrassed when she heard this, but she couldn't say that she was lonely, so in order to hide her embarrassment, she immediately pulled out her short knife and shouted: "Okay, no nonsense." Let this princess try your skills as a so-called general! Kill—"

Balhan smiled slightly, and slowly withdrew the hilt of the saddle knife at his waist with his right hand, but he noticed that the horse that Nicola was riding did not have a saddle and stirrups. And the riding skills are not at the same level as him at all, so he immediately had an idea in his heart, and immediately shouted: "Ha-".

While drinking, Balhan clamped the horse's belly with his legs. The war saber in his right hand slapped on the horse's rump. The war horse instantly increased its speed to the fastest under the pain.

Nicola suffered too much in fighting on a horse with a short knife, which was also because on the one hand she was inexperienced in combat, on the other hand, she did not have a long weapon to compete, and after fighting Balhan, she suffered a big loss in the first round, and her own strength was great, not even losing to Balhan, but her war horse had neither a saddle nor a stirrup. Unable to borrow strength on horses, he was at an absolute disadvantage in the fight against Balhan.

After two weapons intersect. Nicola had everything with the weapon in her hand, but her whole body was slashed off the horse's back by Balhan's knife and fell to the ground, she reacted very flexibly, and when she fell to the ground, she dissolved the strength and did not fall injured.

At this time, Nicola's war horse had run away, Nicola could only stand on the ground with a knife to face the battle, the Alemanni soldiers saw that their princess did not even block a knife from Balhan, and was chopped away, and immediately all of them raised their hearts to their throats, and then saw that Nicola fell down and was fine, so they breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still very worried, after all, Nicola stood on the ground to fight against Balhan, who was riding a horse, it was really hanging, because everyone knew where the advantage of riding a horse was.

At first, Nicola was not nervous at all, but at this time she became nervous, because she no longer had a horse, Balhan rode on a horse condescendingly, coupled with the instantaneous explosive power and collision force of the war horse in a short distance, without an extraordinary reaction speed, she would not be able to react at all and would be cut into two sections, two generals of the same level, one without a horse was definitely at a disadvantage, and it was very likely to be killed.

Nicola knew that as long as the horse rushed in front of her, it would be difficult to dodge, so she moved ahead of time and rolled on one side before Balhan's horse slashed over, dodging Balhan's fierce knife.

Several times in a row, Nicola was in danger, and once the hair on her head was cut off by the blade of Balhan's saber, and the population was still shaved against the scalp, and it was only a millimeter away from Nicola's scalp.

Nicola thought to herself that she couldn't go on like this, she was too passive to fight back at all, and her weapon was too short, and she couldn't get close to the masked man's side if she wanted to fight back, the opponent's weapon was much longer than her own, and she was afraid that she would be cut into several pieces before she got close.

Nicola suddenly noticed the shadow of herself imprinted on the ground, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she thought of a solution, at this time Balhan had just rushed over once, and she immediately moved her back to the sun.

Balhan turned his horse's head and saw that Nicola immediately instigated his horse to rush over, and at this time he was facing the sun, and the sun was so strong that his eyes narrowed, and his vision was greatly affected, but this did not affect his ability to see Nicola's position clearly.

Just as Balhan rode his horse and rushed over, Nicola suddenly raised her right foot and kicked a stone under her feet, the stone flew towards the front of Balhan's front door, Balhan was about to swing his knife to kill Nicola, but when he saw a black dot rushing over, he couldn't care less, and immediately blocked with a horse chopping knife, blocking the flying stones, and then quickly slashed at Nicola again, but he missed again this time, because Nicola had rolled backwards, and the short knife in his hand cut off one of the front hooves of the war horse, The war horse fell to the ground after a mournful roar, and Barhan on horseback couldn't help but take the initiative to plant, but after all, he was strong, and he reacted before he landed, and hit a roll on the ground to hit the impact force and stood firmly on the ground.

"Yes, yes. Her Royal Highness the princess is mighty! The Alemanni soldiers shouted for joy when they saw that Nicola had escaped another kill and severed Balhan's horse's leg.

Now Balhan and Nicola are the same, and there are no horses. Only foot combat can be performed. The two stood up almost at the same time, Balhan looked at his war horse with broken front hooves and felt a little distressed, this war horse was given to him by Qin Dong, even in the grassland, it is a very precious and rare war horse, and now it has been cut off its front legs, which is equivalent to a complete waste, he is really distressed and extremely angry.

"Don't think there are no horses. General Ben can't do anything to you, don't accompany my war horse, General Ben is not done with you today! Balhan screamed in anger and rushed over with his knife in his arms to fight Nicola again.

Both are well aware of their strengths and weaknesses. Nicola is bent on how to get close and use close tactics to give full play to the expertise of her short knife, while Balhan is thinking about not letting Nicola get close, and uses the advantage of his extended saber to slash widely.

Balhan was very fierce. He has a lot of combat experience. And he has been rolling in the pile of dead people for a long time, and his will has long been honed to steel, and he is often not panicked at all when he is in danger, and it is precisely because of this that he has been pressing Nicola to beat, and although Nicola is strong and weak, she has never rolled on the line of life and death after all. Fighting with Balhan now is completely a life-saving style of play. She hasn't gotten used to this style of play, plus Balhan's fighting strength is not only strong, but also full of stamina, the two have been fighting for more than a hundred rounds, and he has no signs of fatigue, but the more fierce the fight, Nicola is miserable, her short knife because she wants to block Balhan's slashing, the blades are full of gaps, not to mention cutting people, cutting vegetables may be broken.

Just when Nicola couldn't support it, a shout suddenly came from the Sara army: "General, the time is up, your mission has been completed, let's hurry back and resume our lives!" ”

Hearing this, Balhan remembered that a hundred moves were about to pass for a long time, looking at the war horse that fell to the side and screaming, Balhan gritted his teeth and put away his knife and jumped to the side and shouted: "What princess, today is your fate, hum!" So saying, he ran back to the army of the Sarahs with his sword, and rode away again under the protection of several horsemen, and then the Sarahs quickly withdrew under the leadership of the leader, and soon disappeared into the mountains and forests.

Despite having a stomach full of doubts, Nicola still continued to drive with the army, and finally arrived in Basel Town within three days, because the Western Expeditionary Army led by Qin Dong was packed, and the infantry had horses, so they had arrived the day before Nicola arrived, and they were already waiting for her in Basel Town.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Qin Dong smiled at Gibket: "How about it, I said that Princess Nicola will definitely be able to complete the test, what else do you have to say this time?" ”

Gibkett said, "Your Majesty, it seems that your test of her is not over yet, right?" After thinking about it, you only came up with two questions from beginning to end, and what about the other two? ”

Qin Dong thought that this was really the case, so he immediately said to Nicola: "Your father is right, you have only passed two levels, now I will test you for the other two questions, listen well, the first question, this time I led the army to the west, who do you think I should fight first?" And in what name is it called? Besides, what else should I do to prepare? The second question, you get the news, the enemy is going to attack a town with no defense, and the location of that town is very critical, it must not be occupied by the enemy, according to reconnaissance, the enemy basically marches eighty miles a day, according to this marching speed, it should be within eight days to reach that town, now you must immediately go to support with a large army, it is impossible to intercept the enemy halfway, the only thing you can do is to arrive before the enemy arrives, The distance from your current position to that town is one and a half times the distance from the enemy to that town, how far must your army march each day to get there before the enemy? ”

The first of these two questions Qin Dong is based on political wisdom and strategic ability, and the second is a simple arithmetic problem, which is just a one-dimensional equation, and primary school students can calculate it, but in this era, not everyone can calculate it, and this situation is an arithmetic problem often encountered in marching and fighting, and arithmetic is required to calculate the amount of grain and grass and the distance of the march, otherwise it will delay the fighter.

After listening to Qin Dong's two questions, Nicola was confident about the first one, and she said: "Of course, Your Majesty wants to fight the Burgundians first, because the Burgundians are the closest to us, if we fight the Franks first, won't we have to take a long detour?" As for what name, this is very simple, as long as it is not on the grounds that they often harass the borders of the Empire, because it is not only the Burgundians who harass the borders of the Empire, if this reason is used, it is easy to arouse the common hatred of other barbarian tribes, as for the reason, His Majesty can completely use the reason that the Imperial caravan has been sacked in the territory of the Burgundians, in addition to this, His Majesty can also send people to befriend other barbarian tribes that are a little far away from us, so that other barbarian tribes do not form an alliance against the Empire. I can't answer the second question! ”

The first question relies on political wisdom and strategic talent, Qin Dong is very satisfied with Nicola's answer, but the second question is actually the easiest, but Nicola didn't answer, but it doesn't matter, she can be specially equipped with arithmetic talents, Qin Dong glanced at Gibkite and smiled: "How is it?" Your daughter has passed three tests, what else do you have to say? ”

Gibkate hung his head and said, "According to His Majesty's words, Nicola is appointed as the chief general of the Western Expeditionary Army of the Alemanni Kingdom!" (To be continued......)
