119 Mosat's Rebellion (4)

As the vanguard of the Sixth Army, his task was to find out the specific situation of the Duchy of Mossat before the main force of the Sixth Army came. He hoped that Rickon and the Scout Camp would be able to complete this mission before he arrived.

Just one day later, Jon's first battalion was also close to the Red Water River, and Kerth, who couldn't bear it, let Feida take the command flag for him, and galloped forward, and walked at the front of the team with Jon. In the distance, he saw Rickon, riding on his great northwest horse, waiting by the side of the road, accompanied by a tall, handsome lady.

"Commander, you're here!" Rickon gave a military salute to Koster, who had stopped in front of him.

"Who is this?" said Kerster, looking at the woman beside Rickon.

"Honorable Lord Kost, Captain Koster, let me introduce myself, I am the commander of the Native Army of the Duchy of Mossart-Rika, and I have been ordered by the Grand Duke of Mozart to seek support from various noble realms in Mosat. Ricka didn't wait for Ricken to introduce her, she took the initiative to step forward and explain her identity to Kester, and when she spoke, she couldn't help but straighten her chest, which made Kester's eyes a little uncomfortable.

Seeing the unnatural expressions of Koster and Jon, Rika herself had nothing, but Rickon couldn't help but laugh, only to be met with a burst of angry glaring from Kester: "Tell me about the current situation!" Rickon commanded.

"Oh, good", Rickon reacted, "The specific military situation in the territory of Mosat, Rica has already introduced me, and there are currently more than 800 armed people on the banks of the Hongshui River, all of whom are the followers of the scattered local lords, and the combat effectiveness is average, and there are 1,200 people coming here. The weapons and equipment for the reinforcements of the Shang Alliance have arrived, and just behind the hill in front, I asked the soldiers of the scout battalion to temporarily build a small dock and open up a turnover field......"

Listening to Rickon's introduction, Kerst couldn't help but nod secretly, Rickon did a good job, at least he had done all the preparations before the army came. Rika on the side was a little speechless, which made Kerst wonder, "What's the matter?"

Rika thought for a moment, "Commander Koster, can your army advance as soon as possible, our capital city of Mosat is being defended by tens of thousands of rebels and is in danger. ”

Caster instructed Jon beside him, asking him to take people to camp first, and then pulled Rika to the side, "Commander Rika, to tell you the truth, the order I received is to rush to the border of Camanmosat by the Red Water River as soon as possible, set up camp, receive supplies from the merchant alliance, and march into the army, I can't act without the order of my immediate boss, General Calvin, do you understand?"

Seeing the sincerity of what Chestter said, Rika also understood that what he said was true, "So, how long will it take for General Calvin and them to arrive?"

"The general with the corps headquarters and two other regiments of six thousand men, as well as the supply of the entire corps is behind us, and I estimate that it will take three days at the earliest. ”

When Rika heard this, she was anxious, "Then these three days, can we only wait?"

Kerst smiled slightly, "Of course not. ”

At this time, the third battalion and the long-range support wing led by Feida had also arrived, "Feida!" called out to Ferst, who was riding on a handsome red horse, and hurriedly rushed over after hearing Ferda's call to himself.

"Riken, Feida, you quickly hand over, Riken, you take over your third battalion, and then scatter all the soldiers of the scout wing, cross the river, the news of Ricka's command is a few days ago, I need more definite news now. Send the most experienced scouts and let Robertson personally lead the team and inquire directly in the direction of Mozart City.

Feida, you took the long-range support team to the temporary turnover field, took over the materials of the merchant alliance and protected them on the spot, you understand. ”

Rickon and Ferda said yes to each other and turned away.

Seeing that Leader Chestter arranged like this, Rica didn't say much, this was indeed the greatest help that Captain Kerster could do within the scope of his authority, "Captain Craft, what can I do?"

Nicker glanced at Rika, thinking to himself that I don't know how much authority and ability you have as a so-called commander, and besides, I am a soldier of Kaman and you are an officer of Mossart, and after thinking for a while, he still said, "Can you take me to see your people, what is the situation now." ”

The Red Water River is a tributary of the Morro River on the border between Mosat and Kaman, which also originates in the Sunset Mountains, and the volume of water is not small, and eventually joins the Morro River in the territory of Kaman. The remnants of Mosat's army were in this place, a small hilly area through which the Red Water River flows, which itself is a border area, and there are not many people, in order to facilitate transportation (and Koster thinks they may be more for the purpose of transfer), a small wooden bridge has been erected over the Red Water River, and at this time, Koster and Rika are walking on this small bridge.

"The more than 800 people in my hands are all remnants of soldiers collected from the nobles of the countryside. Mosat was a small country, and the remnants of the defeated army belonged to several nobles, and many of their lords had died at the hands of the rebels. The remnants of these country nobles were almost like lost dogs before I took over. ”

As they spoke, the two came to the other side of the Hongshui River, where some small tents were pitched out of wood and fur, most of them in tatters. Some of the "soldiers" with stained faces and unkempt faces, squatting or sitting, were idle in the camp.

"That's what you're talking about?" said Koster, surprised.

Without waiting for Rika to reply, "Commander Rika!" In the distance, several people dressed in Mossat uniforms walked over.

"Commander Koester, let me introduce you, these are some of my companions, we are the officers who broke through the siege from the city of Mosat together", pointing to a few people, "Commander Alfred, Commander Robert, and Sergeant Major Tina, these eight hundred or so people are basically collected by us, in addition, there are also Commander Christit and Sergeant Major Gil, who are rushing here with another 1,200 people. ”

Koster nodded to a few of them.

According to the Shang Alliance military system, the silver jasmine collar badge of Kostepe, only one step away from the general, is actually in charge of a regiment of the new army. Most of these officers are commanders, equivalent to the battalion commanders of the New Army of the Shang Alliance, and as for the sergeant major, they are probably at the level of wing commander. Koster doesn't need to be too polite to them, it's just that because he is now a guest army, and the local officers led by Rika are all local officers, so Koster is still polite.

"Tell Master Koster about the situation," Commander Rika gestured to the other woman in the trio, Sergeant Major Tina.

"Yes, sir. Tina gave a military salute and turned to Koster, "Captain Koster. ”

"No need to be polite!" said Koster waved his hand to give a brief introduction.

These 800 people are almost all the remaining strength of the rural lords in the north of Mossart, among them, there are only a few nobles still alive, most of them are the servants and servants of the lost lord, in principle, most of them are not real soldiers, so it is no wonder that there is such chaos in the camp.

"How's their mental state?" asked Kerst in a low voice, Tina shook her head, "No, most of them are experiencing this kind of thing for the first time, and besides, the miner rebels are quite cruel, and all the captives who are caught, as long as they are judged to be noble, are all hung on the gallows, including their lords. Many country lords, who have never been to the city of Mozart several times in their lives, have lost their heads so inexplicably. Their subordinates are nothing more than planting fields in normal times. ”

Kerst sighed, "Who the hell is this Blackbeard, and how much he hates the nobles." The nobles of the countries of the continent have been in existence for a thousand years, and this is the first time this has happened. ”

Rika stepped forward at this time, "This is also a strange thing for us. Blackbeard's identity has been investigated, he is just a miner born in the Tara Basin, he has been timid all his life, I don't know why, this time there will be such a big disturbance, it is completely inconsistent with his own character. ”

"You're being arbitrary, Captain Rika," Kerst disagreed, "In this world, many people live in a repressed heart a slave of Satan. It's just that most people rely on reason and civilization to suppress it. And once the power of the Satan Demon breaks through the mental defense, then this person is not far from madness. ”

In addition to the psychological trauma, the gang is currently extremely lacking in weapons and armor, has no combat ability, and has not undergone military training themselves. "Actually, the 1,200 people who haven't arrived yet, according to the information sent by Commander Christit, are basically the same. ”

After a cursory look around, Kerst felt that the remnants of the army were completely useless, so he pulled Captain Rika and quietly discussed.

Kester believes that this part of the remnants of the army has no combat effectiveness and cannot hold it here, so it is better to retreat across the Hongshui River, rest and reorganize near the material turnover field, and help transport supplies at the same time. A small number of them who were more combat-ready were formed into a slightly combat-ready wing, commanded by Rika, and acted with Kaman's New Sixth Army.

Considering that the subsequent battles will be fought in the territory of Mossart, it is also unreasonable to completely leave the Mossat native army, so it is more reliable to refine the soldiers of Mosat and retain a complete formation.

Rika hesitated for a moment, "Actually, the officers of the Home Army who are still alive here now, led by Commander Christit, we have to consult everyone's opinions on this matter before she makes a decision." ”

Koster agreed, "No problem, but quickly, the battle situation is changing day by day, and I have asked the Scout Wing to come out to investigate." After you have decided, let the camp out and go to the other side of the river, I am ready to use your camp to establish a foothold in the territory of the New Sixth Army in Mosat, and after General Calvin comes, he will definitely not stay in the territory of Kaman. ”

Commander Rika and her companion hurried away, and Kerter seemed to see Rika look back at herself for some reason before leaving, which was quite meaningful. "No matter!" Kerst, who couldn't figure it out, chose not to think about it anymore, and hurried back to the river, just in time, the second battalion behind the palace also arrived.

"No need to be stationed, get ready, we're going to cross the river. Kerst instructed Jon, Rober, and Rickon as they met them.
