(Thanks: *Blooddemon* rewarded 100 starting coins, Feng Xiaai rewarded 200 starting coins)

But it was said that Ramado was taken aback after receiving the order sent by Qin Dong, the shape changed too quickly, and a few days ago he was still taking advantage of Vatur's greed to bribe and force Qin Dong to hand over the area east of Lake Bataka, how could Vatur suddenly die after only a few days? And the commander has become the Qin Dong he used to calculate?

After the messenger sent by Qin Dong to convey the order left, there was still silence in Ramado's big tent, and after a long time before anyone spoke, I saw the Roman staff member Hado said: "My lord, now we are in trouble, the shape changes too quickly, we didn't expect Vatur to die suddenly, and Qin Dong's kid actually took his place as the commander of the thousand, and then he will definitely find us trouble everywhere, as can be seen from this time he ordered the lord to bring troops to the shore of Lake Bataka!" ”

Ramado frowned and looked at the staff and ten captains below and asked, "What do you think Qin Dong's intentions are in doing this?" Could it be that he wants to destroy us on the shores of Lake Bataka? ”

Hado said: "My lord, I don't think it's the reason, although Qin Dong took over Vatur's position and became the commander of a thousand, but it will take a lot of time for him to take over the army left by Vatur, he can only use his own soldiers and horses now, the cavalry is no more than five hundred, and it is almost impossible to destroy the four hundred elite cavalry you brought, I don't think Qin Dong kid will do this kind of loss-making business, and he will attack you for no reason without a reason, even if he is a Shangguan, he can't bear this responsibility, the villain thinks it must be other reasons" 。

Rama was a little irritable, he patted the table and said, "Lord Ben wants to know now why this Qin Dong ordered Lord Ben to take four hundred cavalry to the shore of Lake Bataka before sunset tomorrow!" ”

"Adult, villain will check it out immediately!" Hado, sweating profusely, got up and saluted, and immediately withdrew from the big tent.

The Centurion of Tinis in the northwest and the centurion of Sankun in the north received orders from the envoys sent by Qin Dong, and their distance was relatively long, so they rushed to Bataka Lake with two hundred cavalry in the early morning of the next day after receiving the order.

Neither Tinis nor Sangkundo had ever seen Qin Dong, but knowing Qin Dong, they didn't expect that after just over a month, Qin Dong had been promoted from centurion to thousand, and directly became their top official, which made them a little depressed, how to say that they have been operating in this area for several years, although the foundation is not as good as Ramado, but in terms of qualifications, they are much older than Qin Dong, how can Qin Dong, a young and tender baby, climb above them?

Although the two men were a little depressed, they had not yet thought about openly disobeying orders, and the results of open disobedience would be bad, so they could only obey the order and rush to Lake Bataka with two hundred cavalry each.

Qin Dong split up at noon the next day, and he and Su He took 200 cavalry archers and 400 light cavalry, a total of 600 horsemen, and more than 1,000 war horses to the shore of Lake Bataka.

There is a long distance from Pana to Lake Bataka, and if you pass through the Pazar camp, you will not be able to reach the shore of Lake Bataka at the scheduled time, so you must take a shortcut, change horses and not change people, and gallop non-stop in the direction of Lake Bataka along the way.

This section of the road is about 120 kilometers, fortunately along the way are endless savannah, the horses run very fast, starting from Pana at noon, and finally arrived at the Bataka Lake Xi'an in the afternoon and evening, at this time the centurion Tinis and Sankundo also happened to arrive at the north shore of the Bataka Lake with their men and horses, the distance between the two sides is not very far, the scout learned the identity of the other party after contact, and reported to their respective chiefs.

After Qin Dong got the news, he immediately sent people to convey orders to Tinis and Sankundo, asking them to lead a team to the west bank to meet, and send people to the east bank of the lake to wait, if Ramodo's men and horses arrived, he immediately informed Ramodo to come to the west bank with his men and horses.

About ten minutes later, Tinis and Sankundo came to meet with their men and horses, and the two met Qin Dong by the lake, Tinis is a middle-aged man in his forties, and Sankundo is only in his twenties, both of them can be regarded as fierce generals, after saluting Qin Dong, Tinis asked: "My lord, we also received an order from the messenger sent by the master of ten thousand masters, ordering the lord to be the new commander of the thousand commanders, but I don't understand the humble position, and the messenger of the master of ten thousand years did not make it clear, how did the commander of the thousand masters of Waltu die?" ”

Qin Dong looked at Tinis, then at Sankundo, and said: "Lord Vatur was attacked by an unknown army, when he was returning to Pana from Saidika, he was attacked on the way, according to the arrows and weapons left at the scene, it can be vaguely judged that it should be done by the Germans, it is good that we didn't fight them, and now they actually went deep into our hinterland to sneak attack the commander level general, Lord Modoul was furious after hearing about this, I decided to gather my commanders and go to Sedica in a few days to discuss how to deal with some damned Germans in the south, but before the meeting could be held, I got the news that a Germanic army of more than 1,000 men was rushing to Pazar, preparing to attack my camp, and according to my sama's speculation, it was very likely that they would take this road, although it was not the nearest road, but it was relatively remote and not easy to be detected by our scouts, and if they took a road, they would have to pass through here! All we have to do is wait for them here, and according to the time, they should be ready to go, and according to the information we have received, they will leave after dark and pass by here in the middle of the night! When the time comes, as long as they appear here, Lord Ben wants them to come and go! ”

It turned out to be this situation, Tinis and Sankundo only now understood the purpose of Qin Dong's order for them to bring troops here, the two glanced at each other, and saluted at the same time: "I would like to hear from your lordship!" Please give an order! ”

Qin Dong waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, let's settle down and then say, there is a hill two miles to the northwest, we will settle down there, settle down the men and horses, and wait for Ramado to bring people here, we will discuss the specific military combat deployment, and pass on my order: the whole army rushes to the hill two miles northwest to hide, no one is allowed to light a fire, after feeding the horses, let the horses be bitten, don't let the war horses neigh, if there is a violation of the order, there will be no mercy!" ”

Including Tinis and Sankundo, the centurion-level officers responded in unison: "Follow your lord's orders!" ”

The troops moved methodically towards the hills, it was spring, the hills were covered with vegetation, and it was no problem to hide a few thousand people in the dark, and it was difficult to find a large group of military horses hiding in them without going up the mountain to search. And on the hill, you have a wide view, and you can see the situation by the lake, if a large group of people pass by, it will definitely be discovered by the people on the hill, this is indeed a good place to ambush.
