Chapter 33: Encounter with the Wolf Clan
A good lord never waits for opportunities, but seizes them, conquers all unknowns, and makes them work for him!
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Look for the shallowest part of the river, the deepest level of the river is only half a man's height. Standing on the other side, Aaron glanced back at the wolf corpses, and officially named the place 'Wolf Tooth River' based on the slightly curved shape of the riverbed.
After crossing the Langya River, the plains in the horizon appeared wider and vast. Even though it was 60 miles away from Sparta, the entire southern plain was still as far as the eye could see, and there was no end in sight in the chaotic rain curtain.
The wind chases the rain, and the flying raindrops chase the wind.
The wind and rain seem to unite to chase the dark clouds in the sky, disperse and reunite, so that the whole plain is in the rain, and in the misty rain and fog, there is the unknown, the wolf clan lurks, and it is full of infinite possibilities.
It was still stormy in the sky just now, and suddenly thunder and lightning began to occur in the blink of an eye. Aaron didn't know when the rain would stop. I just heard the flickering rain, and the continuous crackling rain sound lingered in my ears.
The steps of thousands of people from near and far converged into a rustle like the whispering of countless streams.
An army of 10,000 men, meandering through the rain over the field. There were no baggage wagons, let alone supplies for the army, and each person only carried three days' rations. Once the 'Wolf River' is jumped over and continues deeper into unexplored areas, it will mean that the Spartan legions have basically no way out.
The Spartans were persevering, and once they had made up their minds, they would never look back.
"A good lord never waits for opportunities, but seizes opportunities, conquers all unknowns, and makes them work for him!" A grim gaze flashed under the heavy helmet, and when Aaron raised his sword high, it could be seen that the green tendons of his hand holding the hilt of the sword protruded, as if it were cast in bronze, as if it still had sharp edges.
"Forward!"
On Aaron's orders, Kurushh was armed with a pair of battle swords. The hard chest seemed to be holding his breath, and he shouted loudly, "Second Army, cross the river quickly!" ”
Under the supervision of Kurushh and his general's guard, the 5,000-strong bear clan army gasped rapidly, trampled on the muddy water, and moved quickly.
The black-pressed burly soldiers, like floods that had been discharged by opening a dam, their dense combat boots almost cut off the turbulent current, rushed across the opposite bank and officially entered the plain territory of the wolf clan.
At this time, Aaron's pair of sharp eyes left the territory of the wolf clan in the rain curtain, and instead of looking at the unknown scenery farther away, he turned his head and looked at the 'army of heavy infantry' behind him.
As for the origin of this weapon, it seems impossible to trace it back. The bear soldiers are burly and powerful, and if they fight the wolf clan with a blunt weapon, they can smash the opponent's muscles and bones through hard armor and fur, and smash the wolf clan's head.
But in sight, almost all the bear soldiers were holding war hammers with wooden handles, and the outside of the war hammers was covered with iron, and the backs of individual war hammers were covered with spikes.
For the green-haired bear warriors who know how to use combat skills, they can use the back of the war hammer to take the enemy's joints, heads, shoulders, elbows, knees and other positions, and one blow can completely destroy the opponent's combat effectiveness, fast and vicious!
From this alone, it can be seen that Kulush was an experienced infantry general, and at the same time he was also an excellent consul.
When he first saw this Heavy Infantry Army, even Aaron was surprised. Although he did not know how Kurushh did this, his talent as a miraculous consul had been further affirmed by Aaron, King of Sparta.
In the horizon, there are not many decorative components on the helmet of each bear warrior, only a rough steel piece is put together, and only the high top ornament is more chic, like the shape of a rooster's comb showing red. and the plate armor they wear, which is also nailed to the leather with some pieces of iron.
A shield that is more than one person tall is often called a tower shield, and it can be relied on to form a well-defended tortoise formation. The tower shield is so huge that it affects its own movement, and only the burly of the bear people can straddle such a protective weapon on their shoulders and carry it easily.
The 5,000-strong heavy infantry regiment quickly crossed the river and, under the cover of 500 Zhurong hunters, went straight into the Wolf Plain in the rain curtain. The 5,000 Spartan heavily-helmeted warriors led by Queen Gogo quickly followed from behind.
From far and near, when he heard a vigilant wolf howl from the distance, invisible rain and mist, Aaron quickly realized that there was a good chance of encountering the wolf clan.
In Aaron's keen perception, an army of tens of thousands of people is unlikely to hide the sensitive sense of smell of the wolf clan and the ubiquitous sentinel of the wolf clan in the wilderness. Aaron suspected that the moment the Spartan legion left, the wolf base camp had been given the warning it deserved.
"Zhurong hunters are in front, heavy infantry is in the center, and the Spartan army is behind, preparing to resist the enemy in three formations!"
"Viador, lead your cavalry legions forward, and surround them from the left and right flanks of the three columns, purging every wolf clan you see. If you find a large army of wolves, come and report it immediately! ”
The heavy helmet covered most of Aaron's cheeks, so that it was impossible to see his expression at this time. I could only feel two deep gazes sharpening, making people feel a chill.
When the orders of the king of Sparta were communicated to each other along each of the legions. The two thousand light cavalry divided into two groups, and in units of a thousand horsemen, they quickly swept forward in the left and right directions in front of Aaron, and disappeared into the vague rain and fog, leaving only the sound of horses' hooves that were fading away.
The order was forbidden, and as soon as it advanced, the light cavalry corps turned like a black wave, and it was like a cage.
With a sound to resist the enemy, the infantry line of 10,000 people took root like under their feet, and they did not move in danger.
About five minutes later......
Aaron felt the ground rattle and a gust of wind in the rain. Although the voice came from behind him, Aaron's shoulders shrugged, and as his palms were erected, the five hundred Zhurong hunters raised the arrowheads in their hands, ready to release their arrows at any time. The hazy rain lines and white fog intertwine and make Aaron have to be on his toes at all times.
"It's me!"
Hearing a slightly familiar voice, in the rain curtain, Queen Geguo, who was carrying a war sword at her waist, rode a batch of jujube red war horses, shrugged her shoulders and chest, her eyes were level, her chest was slightly up, and her two eyes were slightly squinted, indicating her identity.
From Aaron's point of view, washed by the rain, Queen Gogo's ruddy face and her crystal clear forehead are like a pool of clear lake water, which looks very clean. It's just that Queen Geguo's eyebrows are solemn, including the wet hair on her chest, and because of the speed of the Mercedes-Benz, she is blown up by the air flow brought up by the wind in the rain curtain.
"Rear...... There are some suspicious traces found! ”
