236 Shen Hengdou turned 16
When the northerners fled into the swamp, the swamp was filled with mist, and it was because of this fog that the pursuers not only did not discover their ruse, but almost killed themselves. Now, this eerie swamp shelters the invaders as it did then.
In other words, if it were an ordinary land, or even an ordinary marshland, there would always be a lot of traces left by the passing of an entire army, but the Fastmarshes was not so much an ordinary marshland as a whole mud lake, and the mud on its surface was tumbling all the time, and soon covered up the traces of the great army. If it weren't for the hussars standing by the swamp, they wouldn't even be able to tell where the northerners had entered the marsh.
In this case, even if you send someone into the swamp, it will be a headache to chase in which direction.
"They have to eat, I don't believe they can eat in that environment." Indeed, a young hussar said, the smell of the swamp alone was not flattering, even if the black mud bubbling everywhere was ignored.
"Childish." Jason scoffed.
"Why do you say that?" The hussar heard his sneer, and exclaimed unconvinced, "Can they eat in the mud?" ”
"They can put a pot on top of the dead and cook and eat."
"Evil ......"
"But I think they'll get out of the swamp as soon as they can." Luo Yi said, "If I were their words...... then she felt that she couldn't think of what the northerners' next move would be, she could only be sure that they would not stay in the swamp for the rest of their lives, although they tried to avoid the light cavalry before, but they were so frightened that it was impossible to think about staying in the swamp for the rest of their lives. This group of people is not an otaku, and second, they are not satisfied with any environment, and by the way, they criticize the women who travel through modern society.
"It's their words...... "Jason thought in thought." Set up an ambush in the swamp and wipe out the pursuers? ”
"It's impossible," Luo Yi denied. "They can lie down without sinking, but they can't fight while lying down."
"Yes." Jason thought of the difference in arms and weapons between the two sides, as long as someone behind the crossbow soldier is responsible for loading arrows, or walking in a wave, he may fight on his stomach, archers are impossible, and no matter how strong the northerners are, they can't fight in this kind of environment where they will be roofless at any time if they stand up a little straight.
In this way, the problem is back to square one. There is no doubt that they are running, the key is where they run.
"Let's think about it, everyone!" Luo Yi said to the light cavalry that she emphasized discipline and obedience to them because she was afraid that these light cavalry would plunder like the traditional soldiers of Neustria, and now it seems that such a one-sided emphasis is also flawed, if they are really the kind of brainless wit, I am afraid that they will fall into the swamp, and the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, so they should be given some opportunities to exert their subjective initiative.
However, her past training had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the hussars were in a daze when they heard such an order. Instead, one of the heavy cavalry made a valuable suggestion: "Madam, will they hide in the swamp and kill one of them when we are gone?" ”
"No!" Jason replied immediately, "They've abandoned the horses." Now they are pure infantry, and our light cavalry has the advantage of mobility, and only a few of them can be monitored. As long as their leader still has a little sense, he won't fight us back. ”
"That means they'll definitely be as far away from us as possible," Luo Yi made a judgment after hearing this conversation. "If I were the leader of the northerners...... Jason! Where is the nearest river? ”
"Hell!" A shepherd boy was terrified when he saw a group of blackened humanoid creatures crawling out of the terrible Fastswamp. Even the sheep didn't care, and they galloped into the village.
However, the creatures that came were far more terrible than the demons.
"Go!" An arrow struck the shepherd boy in the back, and he cried out and fell to the ground. The shepherd dog rushed forward and barked at the strange evil spirits, but its bluff was useless, and with a sharp axe, the shepherd's body separated.
The axe slashed again, and the little shepherd boy burst his brain and died next to his sheepdog.
The clumsy sheep bleated uneasily, but they had no opinion, and in a moment they were encircled, and none of them escaped.
"Why did you kill this shepherd boy?" Adair frowned disapprehendedly, "We're going to grab another person and ask where the nearest horse farm is." ”
"Hmph." The man spat on his thick slap, "It's just a shepherd boy, kill it, what?" If we hadn't left our horses and run away from the captives, there would have been as many 'tongues' as there were! ”
"What do you mean by that?" When Adair's brother saw this, he rebuked, "Do you think we'll have a way to survive if we don't run?" ”
"They're probably just bluffing! But we gave up what we had already had! It doesn't matter if you have grabbed the gold and silver, we have made a trip for nothing! The man retorted vehemently, and many of his peers echoed him, and Adair's brother glared at him: "If you are so sure, stay there with your horses and captives and fight against those men!" How? ”
"You think we have booty?" Adair exclaimed, "It's nice that my men open the castle every time, but don't you follow in after we knock down the gatekeepers?" I have not once monopolized the battlefield, and this accusation is not justified. ”
"Yes, if you think you can get more by going in first, you'll be better in first next time." Adair's brother sneered, "I'm afraid you don't have that ability!" ”
"You!" The face of the man under the sludge was almost burning, he knew that his behavior was excessive, but he had always relied on his sharp axe not only in the land of Neustria, but also in his hometown, but this time he was beaten by the light cavalry and could not raise his head, and he really held a bad breath, this breath was not enough to kill a shepherd dog, so he killed the shepherd boy, and accused Adair of hiding secrets, but now, he can no longer get off the stage, so he simply made a big play: "What kind of ability is it to deceive people?" If you have the ability, you will fight! ”
"You!" Several angry voices rang out, Adair's brothers had always prided themselves on his cunning, and if it were a normal time, the two families would have formed a blood feud because of it.
"Do you want to fight a duel on Neustrian soil despite your vow to go to sea? Or do you want to duel with me like this? Adair said, holding up his bandaged hand, "If you want to bleed, I'll accompany you when you get back home!" But you must now listen to my orders! ”
There was fire burning in his amber eyes.
"The oath to go to sea cannot be broken!" Several older warriors and one of the previously neutral leaders shouted, and one of them volunteered, "I'm going to grab a tongue!" ”
"I'll go too!" The man from before shouted, and this was the end of the matter. (To be continued......)
