The day after the letter of surrender was delivered, the representatives of the Ogu family received an official reply from the refugee side and immediately returned to the ancient city of Ogu to present the refugee's letter to Horanst.

The letter expressed two meanings, first: the refugees will stop the conflict with the ancient city of Aocheng, and second: the premise of stopping the conflict is that the refugees must be supplied with food, cotton, equipment and other materials, but the ancient city of Ao Gubang does not have to worry about them using these materials to attack themselves, because the refugees will fight back to the grassland, which is also what Alan promised when he trained the militia, since Alan is not here now, then the ancient city of Ao Gubang will fulfill the promise on behalf of their chief mage.

"Reply to them: In principle, we can provide assistance to the Godsa brothers, but after receiving the assistance, they must immediately leave Tiesong Town and go north to the grassland, and the specific amount of assistance needs to be negotiated between the two sides. “

Looking at the conditions of the refugees, Hollanster said with a sneer.

The refugees quickly replied that they agreed to negotiate the amount of aid and that the place of the negotiations was set in a temporary fortress at the mouth of the gorge in order to ensure the fairness of the negotiations and the safety of the personnel on both sides. The ancient city of Austria succeeded in inviting Count Reinhardt, an official of the Yus Empire in the ancient city of Austria, to be the mediator of the negotiations.

At the beginning of receiving this invitation, Reinhardt refused, he knew very well that this kind of thing was a matter of negotiation, and he would leave for the return to Boulder City in a month to report on his work, how could he have spare time to accompany a few little people to intrigue. Rather than that, he preferred Holland to send a large army to quell the rebellion in one fell swoop, but soon a piece of military intelligence from Capra was on his desk.

Intelligence shows that the first counterinsurgency military operation launched by the ancient city state of Okugu was completely defeated, and the Spirit Snake mercenary group was defeated by the refugees when they had superior forces. Don't look at the current spirit snake mercenary group stationed near the mouth of the canyon, the establishment is quite complete, but the morale is low, and there is no courage to fight with the refugees at the other end of the canyon.

"These refugees are not simple!"

For the first time, Reinhardt realized that the situation in the ancient city of Austria was very dangerous, and if it was not properly handled, it was afraid that it would worsen further.

"Pack your bags, we're going to the mouth of the canyon for a few days. ”

Thinking of this, Reinhardt immediately gathered his guards and rushed to the fortress at the mouth of the canyon to organize and coordinate the negotiations between the two sides. The first three days of the negotiations went relatively smoothly, and after some haggling, the two sides finally reached an agreement on the support of equipment. The Ogu family was willing to provide each officer and soldier of the militia with a standard weapon and a simple piece of armor. However, there was a disagreement between the two sides on the specific number of equipment to be provided, and the refugees demanded 15,000 sets of equipment, but the Ogu family believed that the refugees were falsely reporting the number of people, and the militia did not have 15,000 personnel at all. For a while, the two sides were at a stalemate because of the problem of quantity, and in the end, at the suggestion of the representative of the Ogu family, Reinhardt mediated and proposed a relatively neutral method, he asked the refugees to bring all the officers and soldiers of the militia over, and he was responsible for distributing the equipment on the spot, and he was responsible for giving one copy to one person.

This method was very fair, and the refugees could not think of a reason to refuse, so they could only pull the men and horses to camp near the canyon, and then Reinhardt and his men counted the number of people and distributed the equipment according to the roster. However, due to the procrastination of the Ogu family, the process became very long, and it was only on the tenth day that 5,000 sets of weapons and equipment were distributed, and on the eleventh day, the representative of the ancient city of Okugu suddenly withdrew unilaterally from the negotiations without warning, and the equipment assistance was naturally suspended.

While Reinhardt was confused and did not understand what was happening, the representatives of the refugees withdrew from the negotiations, and the officers and men of the cadet regiment, who had just received their weapons and equipment, immediately rushed through the mouth of the gorge to occupy the makeshift fortress, and then declared that the two sides had re-entered a state of war. Reinhardt only learned from the refugees that a team of mercenaries had attacked them from the back of the northern road to the town of Iron Pine.

"!"

Reinhardt realized that both the refugees and himself had been tricked by Holland, and that their negotiations on the surface were fake, and that it was true that they sent troops to attack behind their backs. It is no wonder that their men demanded that weapons and equipment be distributed one by one according to the results of the roll call, and the original purpose was to transfer all the officers and men of the militia regiment so that they would have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"The refugees are more than lucky this time!"

Sitting in the carriage back to the ancient city of Aogu, Reinhardt shook his head and smiled helplessly.

To the north of the ancient city of Aogu, there is a mountain road along the Capra River that leads to the north of the town of Tiesong, and because of the ruggedness of the road, it is rarely traveled except by the hunters in the mountains, and not many people know about it.

But it is such a mountain trail that after the first snowfall in early winter, a large team actually ushered in a large team, and it stretched out a good memory mile on the winding mountain road.

"Commander, there is the Capra Pass ahead, and after the Capra Pass, the road is much easier. ”

A scout returned from reconnaissance and reported to Captain Walker, who was walking at the front of the group.

Walker is the leader of the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group, and ten days ago, the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group and the Spirit Snake Mercenary Group were ordered to attack the mob in Iron Pine Town at the same time, but he didn't expect that the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group had just set off and had received the news of the defeat of the Spirit Snake Mercenary Group.

The news of the fiasco of the Brothers' mercenary group reminded Walker that it might not be possible to deal with these mobs by force, and that they must be outwitted. After some thought, he came up with a plan and thought of a good way: lead his troops to bypass the mountain road north of the ancient city of Aogu and sneak attack Tiesong Town from behind, and take the refugees' nest in one fell swoop.

Walker and the deputy regiment commander Cecil reported his plan to Hollander, Holland was overjoyed when he heard this, and in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, Holland came up with a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, that is, to use the weapons and equipment of the aid as bait to attract all the officers and soldiers of the militia regiment.

The plan was seamless, so Walker was confident and set out on the road before the snow melted completely. After twelve days of walking on a rugged mountain road, they finally saw the light of day.

"The whole army hastened and tried to camp near Capra Pass tonight. ”

"Walker, Capra Pass is a military forbidden area for Yus, will we be attacked by them if we rush over?"

It was Cecil, the deputy commander of the regiment, who was worried that his army of nearly 20,000 men would easily provoke the hostility of the defenders by invading the Capra Pass area, and that if something unexpected happened, it would be a small matter to offend Yous, and a big matter would be a failure in the counterinsurgency plan.

"Don't worry, when we set off, the lord had already greeted Yus, saying that we were going to conduct military training and acting near Capra Pass. ”

Walker said nonchalantly. But just when he was full of confidence, suddenly another scout horse rushed back.

"My lord, it's not a good thing. The Yuskapura garrison blocked the way ahead and did not allow us to pass!"
