Whether it was martial arts or battle strategies, the four of them were all hit to a certain extent, which made their joy of awakening and claiming the ancestral sword ruthlessly suppressed, but after thinking about it carefully, there was a trace of fear in the heart of the wolf fang, if he really went into battle with that arrogance, I am afraid that the final result would be so painful that he could not accept it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And what does it mean for Sheng Xuan's last words? After the four of them glanced at each other, they all squatted down and began to repeatedly deduce the battle formation on the map, looking for their own shortcomings little by little, and with the deduction, the war is no longer as simple as the original sword and sword exchange, and they really experience a little taste, but in order for them to really grow, they still need to be constantly honed in the war, which takes time and blood to complete.

Sheng Xuan rode all the way through the snow, he wanted to go to the place where the copper head was defeated, the best way to understand the enemy is through the battle, although he can't lead the troops to attack now, but a look at this former battlefield will also have a lot of gains.

The battlefield was full of orc corpses, but every corpse had been carefully searched, all the resources on the body had been taken away, and there was no equipment left on the battlefield, and even some broken bows and arrows were taken away, Sheng Xuan couldn't help but move when he saw this.

He did not rush back, but continued to search forward, and finally saw a scene that shocked him, this scene strengthened his judgment, it was a narrow valley, which was full of the corpses of orcs and Calais, and could not give a decent funeral for the dead comrades, indicating that the Calais no longer had that strength, and the corpses of many orcs here were mutilated, and it was obvious from the incision that it was not caused by the battle, then there was only one answer, the Calais were short of food and grass.

Sheng Xuan covered his mouth with his hand, his heart couldn't calm down for a long time, he was thinking about a lot of things in his heart, and even thought of the incident with Upton in the Helmet Mountain Fortress, judging from all kinds of past impressions, Upton was a strict general who would never condone his subordinates to do such things, but now this scene is in front of him, and there must be some secret hidden in it.

Of course, this is possible, because many of these troops who entered the Everglades were people with serious crimes, and the barbarism and recklessness of these people were not something that anyone could control, so it is understandable that there was a matter of secretly cutting down the corpses of the enemy at a time when there was a shortage of food and grass, but such a large-scale operation was obviously an organized operation, which showed that one or even several armies were acting in concealment from Upton.

Stepping on the snow again and galloping towards the Calais camp until he could see their outpost, he let the snow wait here and he relented and headed straight for the camp.

It wasn't until he was less than two miles away from the camp that he found a hiding place to hide, and then carefully lay on the ground and watched the movement in the camp, and from time to time a group of sentries appeared outside the camp, and it seemed that the Calais army had not yet collapsed, at least it was necessary to maintain due vigilance.

Sheng Xuan looked carefully little by little, and found that the moss around him had traces of digging, and these Calais troops who lived in the swamp all the year round also knew the role of many swamp plants, so it could be seen that their supplies were extremely scarce, and I am afraid they would not be able to support it for long.

Lying there patiently until the sun sank, and the smoke of cooking rose in the barracks, but there was a small commotion in the barracks, which was originally quite solemn, and there were guards with swords standing next to the marching pot, while the soldiers who were queuing up to receive dinner stared greedily at the food in the pot.

At last a commotion broke out because of the distribution of the men, and a tall warrior was dissatisfied with the food that was given to him, and snatched the spoon from the man's hand and filled his helmet fiercely, and suddenly a soldier stepped forward and held him down, and as he resisted, he knocked over the marching pot, and the surrounding warriors immediately swarmed like a hornet that saw honey.

Just when these soldiers and the guards were inseparable, suddenly a group of cavalry rushed over, one of them waved the whip in his hand to drive away the rioting soldiers, under the impact of the cavalry, the riot finally subsided, and then the cavalry led by jumped off the horse, stretched out his hand to pick up the tall soldier who caused the riot is a punch and kick, and suddenly a scream echoed in the barracks.

"Stop!" With a broken drink, a war horse galloped over, but this sound suddenly made Sheng Xuan's eyes narrow, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but secretly shouted, "Fred? It seems that his luck is really not ordinary, and he actually found the Chinese army tent of the Calais." ”

Fred's voice was not very loud, and Sheng Xuan didn't dare to let go of Xiu Wei to eavesdrop, so he heard a few words intermittently, all of which were Fred severely reprimanding these warriors, especially the cavalryman who started to beat people, and then he took out his sword and killed the cavalryman's war horse with a sword, as if telling the man to take it and cook it and distribute it to the soldiers.

"The Calais have already started killing horses?" This discovery couldn't help but make him feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart, but at that moment, Fred turned his head sharply and glanced in the direction where he was, although it was only a glance, it still made Sheng Xuan's heart shocked, "Could it be that he found out? It can't be, it must be a coincidence." ”

He didn't dare to linger any longer, so he quietly went out, and Fred had already ridden his war horse back to his camp, and now he lived in Upton's tent, carefully guarding the governor he respected, hearing Fred's footsteps, Upton couldn't help but ask with difficulty, "Why is it so noisy outside?"

"It's all right, my lord, it's a squad of soldiers doing evening drills, and I've told them to be quiet. Upton let out a feeble hum, which made Fred feel unbearable, and he had lied to him many times so as not to worry him.

"Fred, come here," Ppton said again with great difficulty, and Fred hurried over, "you look me in the eye and tell me what the hell is going on?"

This question suddenly made him stay where he was, obviously he couldn't hide it from Upton forever, "My lord, we don't have much food and grass. He could only tell the truth, but he didn't expect Upton to nod very calmly, "Hasn't there been any news from the Empire?" "Yes, my lord, maybe it will be here in a few days." ”

"Ahem, you don't have to comfort me, I know that I am already a useless waste in His Majesty's heart, and he doesn't even bother to say a word to me. Upton's eyes began to flicker, but there was no water there, "My lord、、、" Fred wanted to comfort a few words, but I don't know how many times I could say all the comforting words, what would be the point of saying more?

"What season is it now?" Upton said again, his chest rising and falling violently with the prominence of the sentence, "My lord, spring will be in a few days, and when the weather warms up, your illness will surely get better." ”

"No, no, don't interrupt me, listen now, this is my last order, you convey at once to all the generals, that they pack up as quickly as possible, and that they must evacuate here before spring comes, preferably to our Calais border, so that it will also buy your Majesty a little time, it will be too late to be late. This passage was a few pauses before he finally finished speaking, and his mind had become blurred, it was impossible to get out of this swamp in a few days, and what kind of time did he want to buy for His Majesty?

"My lord, I will convey your order to the generals at once, and I will definitely take care of this matter with peace of mind. Fred was about to turn around, but was stopped by Upton again, "Tell me, do those generals now disobey me? Are they still greedy for military merit and refuse to leave? You go and tell them that this is my order, and even if Your Majesty investigates it, I will be alone、、、、 poof,"

Before he finished speaking, Upton was already spurting out a mouthful of blood, and Fred immediately pounced, "My lord, don't say it, rest in peace、、、 Medic officer!" "Don't scream, I want to stay alone with you for a while, cough cough, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this swamp, cough cough, you 、、、、 、、、、 take me back to 、、、 、、、 home、、、"

Upton fell into a coma again, Fred clutched his hand with tears in his eyes, unwilling to let go for a long time, he was afraid that he would never have a chance to hold it again, this respected governor was still thinking about Calais's safety at this time, but why was he treated so coldly?

When the medical officer came over and gave Upton some potion, his shriveled face was flushed, and his breathing seemed to have calmed down, but Fred knew that the medicine did not cure his illness at all, but only temporarily relieved some of his pain.

Wiping away the tears from his face, he couldn't help but cheer up, then went to the bookcase and picked up his pen, and after thinking for a while, he quickly wrote down an order, and the final signature was Upton.

It was late at night, but the light in a big tent was still on, and Pryor and several other generals sat together and discussed, "Who does this Upton think he is? Let's withdraw from the swamp? Without an order signed by His Majesty, it would be a capital offense for us to go back, hmph, I think he is deliberately setting a trap to get rid of us all." ”

"General Benguela has a point, but Upton has always said that he is sick and does not see us, and recently I have heard that he is dying, do you think it could be that his men pretend to be the order issued by him?" "Who has the audacity? I think he is deliberately rectifying us, and it is precisely because he is no longer able to do so, so he is not afraid that the empire will find him again. ”

"Griman, Aubrey, you two better say a few words, you don't know our current situation, the supplies of the empire have not been delivered for two months, and it is not a way for us to hold on here, I think we take this order to retreat is a way out, as long as we do not enter the territory of Calais, it will not be considered a violation of the order, and when the time comes, we will drag the old relationship to inquire about the situation of the empire, and by the way, it is better to ask for food and grass, at least than being trapped here." ”

"Thack, you've finally got to the point this time, and I'm rooting for you this time!" "Benguela, who are you talking to Lao Tzu again? Besides, I didn't get to the point when I said that time? "You 、、、、、" "Okay, you two don't fight," Griman hurriedly persuaded when he saw the two of them angry, "General Pryor, what do you think about this?"

"In my opinion, the empire must be in a tight war now, I'm afraid the future is worrying, just from the lack of supply of this material, grain and grass, one may be that we can't take care of us, and the other may be to warn us that we are not doing our best, this last possibility、、、、" "Oh, if you have something to say, just say it, don't want your mother-in-law." "The last possibility is that we are abandoned and left to fend for ourselves. ”
