Chapter 218: Forest Avenue

"I can't resist, Downton's demon servants are too good to fight!"

The adjutant was helpless, and before the militia could make a move, Downton had already suppressed them, and the previous bloody record had already frightened the thorns, how dare they provoke him.

"There's no way?"

Campana was depressed, he was very good at intrigue between nobles, even the death of a civilian, but this was a military camp, and he didn't need it at all.

Fortunately, the family had already thought of this and arranged for him an experienced adjutant.

"Sir, you can let him be the vanguard to open the way!"

"What do you mean?" Campana didn't understand, "Isn't that not exhausting him?"

"That's not the purpose, we're about two hours away from the two thousand-man team now, and when it's time for dinner, whether Downton is behind or not, you can say that it's because the sixth team is too slow, resulting in falling behind, and whether it's whipping or beheading, doesn't it all depend on your mood?"

The lieutenant's ruse is insidious, and it is a dignified conspiracy, and even if Downton knew about it, he would not be able to guard against it, unless he could now catch up with the large army in one go.

In the morning, when the regular army crossed the border, they quickened their march, and the number and frequency of scouts increased, and the other brigades were also responsible for clearing possible bandit strongholds along the way.

The soldiers were carrying a day's rations, so the logistics team could be slow, as long as they arrived at dinner time, set up camp, and prepared dinner, the task was completed.

Of course, in order to prevent the logistics team from being attacked, there is also a soldier of the hundred-man team responsible for protection, which is a beautiful difference, if it has nothing to do with the thousand-man commander, or if you don't send money, you can't get it, because it's very safe to stay in the rear. The army swept past, and there were almost no trash of fish.

"Didn't Weishenme say it earlier?" Campana glared at the adjutant, "Why don't you go and give the order yet!"

The adjutant should be, but in his heart he couldn't help but slander, these nobles are arrogant and arrogant, if they don't take the initiative to ask. I rushed up to mention jihua, and I was definitely whipped by a horsewhip.

Campana looked at the busy Sixth Brigade and imagined the bad luck of Downton at night, and was in a good mood, finally having the leisure to enjoy the scenery.

It is a forest road leading to the boulder pass, and although it is the height of summer, the sunlight can barely penetrate the dense foliage, so the avenue is covered with shade. Even the summer breeze brings a cool breath, and it is completely a taste of early autumn.

"What a time to hunt!" said Campana, and was about to ask the servant to bring the longbow, when he saw a little Lori with a wreath of wild flowers on her head, grabbing a handful of wild grapes, and running out of the woods, leaving behind a series of childish laughter.

"Homer, what if we are attacked?" Downton had felt uneasy since entering the forest road. Although there is a large army to sweep up, it only takes some effort on the part of the bandits to make a detour. You can still dodge and attack the logistics team.

It was only the edge of the redwood forest, but it was dense enough to hide a team of three hundred people.

"It is said that there are about 500 Iron Man bandits, most of them infantry, how many of them can they divide to attack the logistics team? Even if they are all here, there are a thousand militia here. There was also a regular army of 100 men, as long as they were delayed, there would be enough cavalry to come back to help. Homer smiled, "It also saves the army the trouble of going to them." ”

"It's a pity that my level is too low to see the intelligence. "Downton was depressed. If you have a low status, you have no decision-making power at all, and if you run into an incompetent commander, you can only be unlucky with it.

Downton actually understood that Homer was right, and the first reaction of any bandit group encountering such a strong encirclement and suppression was definitely not to take the initiative to sneak attack, but to think about how far to escape.

Morale, mounts, logistics, and armaments meant that they were no match for the regular army.

Tyson is not stupid, just hide and wait for the rumors to pass, after all, the big soldiers eat horses and chew, and every day is a huge consumption, with Placido's greedy character, when the anger is gone, I am afraid that the troops will be withdrawn immediately.

"Do you know that the officers of Weishenme are scattered? Because they understand that even if this battle is fought, it is not dangerous. "Homer has seen so much more than Downton.

"But they're meticulously sending scouts out to patrol the surrounding woods?" Celes wondered, smoke bombs would rise and explode in the sky from time to time, which was a signal to move troops, and she had seen it with her own eyes that it was time for dinner and the troops to go to battle.

"That's to hunt people's heads, and there are some natives living in the red pine forest, and compared to the bandits, they are simply dishes, too easy to kill. ”

"Hunting heads?" Celestia was startled, "Weishenme?

"There has to be a head fight, and the officers must at least do enough superficial work, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there are enough natives living in this land, I think the human town on the border is probably going to be unlucky. "Killing good and risking merit, Homer hasn't seen too much, even slaughtering the city, it has seen it more than 10,000 times.

Campana weishenme sits firmly on the Diaoyu Tai? Do you still have the leisure to go hunting? The parents of those noble children are relieved and bold to let them come to earn qualifications? It is because they know these cats, otherwise with their character, they are reluctant to send their precious son to the battlefield.

"I see!" Downton was a little disappointed, he originally thought that this time he could kill Tyson and get rid of a big scourge for the people of the border, but he didn't expect it to be such an insider.

The reputation of the moths in the west is not in vain, and Downton doesn't know that for this expedition, the officers of several corps also fought a fight, and you must know that you can also make a lot of money from logistics and materials.

Occasionally, there were caravans to trade with indigenous tribes in the Korean pine forests, and if they did, the officers could extort money in the name of protecting the caravan.

"Big brother, you can taste it!" Hu Tao ran back, flipped over the war horse at once, and stuffed a handful of wild grapes into Downton's mouth, "It's a little sour, but it's delicious." !”

"Don't run around, be careful of being taken away by the bear!" A smile appeared on the corner of Downton's lips as he looked at Walnut's lips and face, which had been stained purple with grape juice.

Touching the little Lori's head, Downton found a grass stalk and braided a grasshopper, which would be idle anyway.

"It's okay, I have this, I can detect the danger in time. Hu Tao took out the monocular and shook it, she found this very interesting, she could see it far away, rotate the barrel, and even the berries from a thousand meters away could be seen, it was a sharp weapon for finding wild fruits.

Celes reached out and carefully removed the weed clippings that had stuck to the walnut's clothes.

When a herd of wild deer crossed the forest road, the noble sons who were the captains of the hundred could no longer bear it anymore and began to call for friends and take their servants into the woods to hunt.

This is also social, and when this crackdown is over, these noble children will form a small network.

"Are you used to it?" Jovic rode to Downton's side with the sound of horses' hooves, followed by ten cavalry guards.

"What instructions do you have, sir?" said Downton.

The man in front of him was twenty-five or six years old, he was Rocker's nephew, and he commanded a hundred-man cavalry team at a young age, and it was the moment of high spirits.

"What do you think of my men?" Jovic pointed at the guards behind him with his horsewhip, all of them in white light knight armor with a scimitar at their waists.

"Good!"

Hearing Downton's evaluation, the guards were still not satisfied, and they all snorted coldly, and their expressions were arrogant.

"Haha, it's good to know. There was a hint of threat in Jovic's tone, and after speaking, he looked at the monocular in Hu Tao's hand, "This is forged by the dwarf craft?"

Born in an aristocratic background, as an officer, went to a military academy, and loves military affairs, Jovic once saw the Hubble telescope in a textbook, and if it weren't for a chance glimpse of something in Lori's hand, he wouldn't have accosted a lowly Downton.

"What's your business?" Hu Tao rolled his eyes, disliking his arrogant attitude towards Downton.

"Hmph, a poor ghost is a poor ghost, you can't afford a Hubble telescope, and don't use fakes to fill up the numbers, in the eyes of an expert like me, it's a shame. Jovic held back his anger, smiling and not smiling.

"You're the poor ghost, this is the real Hubble telescope, don't believe it!" Hu Tao has no scheming, as soon as he hears others slander, he can't get angry, and wants to prove it.

Downton wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

"Yes, I'll see!" Jovic's breath was short, and even his guards stared at the monocular in surprise.

"This is Hubble, which is banned in other countries except for the Nine Great Empires?"

"I heard that a gold mark that costs one million gold marks is also a symbol of the status of a thousand-commander!"

"I'm Deboro, what's the origin of this kid, how come he even has this thing?"

Before Downton could speak, Hu Tao finally reacted again, suddenly withdrew his hand, and stared at Jovic vigilantly.

"What's wrong? Don't let me see it, how do I know if it's fake?" Moonwich has already made up his mind, as long as he gets it in his hands, he will say that this thing is his own, anyway, he is surrounded by his own people, who dares to testify to Downton?

"Your hands are dirty, they're going to get dirty!"

Hu Tao made an excuse.

Jovic was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he was wearing white gloves on his hands, how could it be dirty, but this little Lori, because of eating wild grapes, his hands were full of purple juice, and even stained the tube, and then he began to feel distressed, this is a Hubble telescope worth millions of gold coins, you actually touch it with dirty hands, and you carry it in your pocket at will, and you are not afraid of throwing it away.

In terms of status and backstage, Jovic has an earl dad and an uncle Rocker who is the captain of a thousand people, and he doesn't care about Downton at all.

"Thinking you can be lawless with Dophink in the background? I'm going to make you die a miserable death. Jovic was hesitating whether to rob or not when a javelin suddenly shot out of the woods and stuck it in one of the militiamen. (To be continued......)
