85. Lindau
The 57th Heavy Infantry Regiment entered Moyunling as an advance force, sorted out a clearing on the slope less than five kilometers away from the main peak of Moyunling, and set it up as a camp for the follow-up large army.
Although the hand-drawn map provided by Baron Sidney is scribbled and the lines are messy, several mountains, ravines and rivers at the foot of Moyunling Mountain are very clearly marked, and even a certain forest area has a clear note of a certain kind of tree growing, and some passes suitable as a blocking point are also partially explained. In the hands of the Count of Goss.
Although the location of the camp that Baron Sidney circled was not accepted by the higher-ups, Baron Sidney, the captain of the Fourth Brigade, showed his face in front of the commanders of the expeditionary force.
This time, Baron Sidney completed the task of opening up the forest road, which can be regarded as completely washing away the previous shame and once again proving that he is not a young nobleman who relied on nepotism to ascend to power.
As soon as the soldiers of the 57th Regiment had finished setting up their tents, they were tasked with building a wooden fence on the periphery of the camp to defend against the onslaught of wild beasts and demons, and this wooden fence needed to be at least ten meters high to stop the demons.
Mondstadt. Instead of letting the hoplite soldiers of the Heavy Infantry Regiment cut down trees nearby, Commander Goss requisitioned seventeen Thunder Rhinos to bring back to the camp the trees they had cut down during the opening of the forest road.
The logs were scattered along the forest road, and the warriors had to cut off the branches with their logging axes, tie them into bundles of ten, tie them to the back of the Thunder Rhino, and then carry them back to the camp at the foot of the Moyunling Mountain.
He Boqiang carried a logging axe and struggled to cut off the horizontal branches of a redwood tree, and the red socks standing opposite hurriedly dragged the cut horizontal branches into the bushes.
The main task of the second squad of soldiers today is to sort out the trees that have been cut down on both sides of the forest road.
The road was very congested, a group of heavy cavalry regiments and a logistics regiment transporting bed crossbows were huddled together and did not give way to each other, and the thunder rhinos carrying wood could not get in outside, and the soldiers of the second squad stood on the side of the road idly after repairing the branches of the trees in this area.
He Boqiang and Red Socks ran to the front, and saw that there was a carriage transporting bed crossbows in the forest road, and the wheel axle of the carriage transporting the bed crossbow was broken, and the entire flat carriage was stuck in the forest road, blocking the forest road solidly, and the soldiers of the logistics regiment wanted to repair the carriage on the spot, and the heavy cavalry who were blocked behind wanted to rush to the camp this morning to camp, and clamored to push the flat cart to the forest next to the forest road.
Although the logistics regiment is only a group of auxiliaries without any status, it controls most of the materials in the barracks, and usually has a lofty posture.
At this time, when he saw that someone was going to push the broken down flatbed truck in the logistics regiment into the woods, he naturally refused to agree.
When the heavy cavalry non-commissioned officer and the logistics regiment commander were arguing, the heavy cavalry soldiers raised the knight's spear more than five meters long hanging in the saddle and pointed at the auxiliary soldiers of the logistics department from afar.
A non-commissioned officer of the logistics regiment turned his face on the spot, his body was as flexible as a monkey, and he climbed onto the flatbed truck with his hands and feet, and lifted off the tarpaulin covering the bed crossbow, revealing a brand-new bed crossbow inside, and several auxiliaries followed the non-commissioned officer to board the flatbed car, quickly untied the rope that fixed the bed crossbow, and began to shake the roulette wheel that adjusted the pitch angle vigorously, the bed crossbow was in the soft sound, and the giant crossbow arrows were aimed at the arrogant heavy cavalry.
The first time He Boqiang saw this kind of large-scale ordnance, the bracket of the main body of the ballista was made of wood, but many of the parts of the key parts were iron, and some iron plates were actually plated with silver, not only were intricate runes engraved on them, but also a fragment of magic crystal was inlaid on the pedestal in the middle, and the whole ballista actually exuded a strong magical atmosphere.
The auxiliaries of the logistics regiment and the heavy cavalry faced each other, and the sabre rattled and was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
People on both sides of the forest road kept converging on this side, surrounding the place.
He Boqiang and Red Socks waited in the crowd for a long time and didn't see anyone move, He Boqiang stood a little numb with his feet, so he pulled Red Socks and squeezed out of the crowd.
The forest road is flanked by dense forests, which are full of branches,
Surdak instructed the bearded Cagle to clear a clearing in the woods, and he led Augustus into the dense forest to shoot two otter rabbits, and He Boqiang and Red Socks lit a bonfire in the clearing.
Augustus placed two skinned rabbits on a long branch and burned them on a charcoal fire.
At first, the smoke in the forest area was billowing out, and when the branches were burned into coals, the fat from the rabbit meat fell on the bonfire one by one, and the smell of roasted meat drifted far away with the wind.
The roads are so congested that many people miss lunch, and only then do you feel your stomach pounding when you smell the smell of barbecue.
The heavy cavalry and the auxiliaries of the logistics regiment settled their lunch on the spot, and everyone ate some convenient marching rations, and then it occurred to everyone that if they arrived at the camp at this time, they would not be sitting on a tree stump and willing to dry food for lunch as they are now.
After they had eaten enough, the two sides felt that the stalemate would not solve any problems at all.
Everyone was not so angry, so they began to think about a solution.
At this time, everyone was surprised to find that in the dense forest next to the congested forest road, birch trees were continuously cut down, rows of trees fell, and the road near the congested area of the forest road was nearly doubled.
The traffic situation improved significantly, and the heavy cavalry mounted their horses and lined up on the left side of the forest road, slowly passing through the congested area.
The auxiliaries of the logistics department also began to frame the plate cars with broken axles and began to replace the axles on the spot.
Seeing that the forest road traffic had become smooth, Surdak and the soldiers of the second squad stopped cutting down the trees, and everyone cleared the branches of the trees that had fallen to the ground, waiting for the Thunder Rhino to come and transport the giant trees back to the camp.
But...... No one seemed to notice that the group of people who were changing the traffic on the trail were the infantry soldiers of the second squad who were trimming the branches along the trail.
"I thought they were going to fight......"
Red Socks put down the logging axe in his hand, wiped the fine sweat on his face fiercely, and said with a look of regret.
Cagle was right beside him, holding a bundle of chopped branches and throwing them into the grass beside him.
Said to Red Socks, "Hey, are you really that boring?" ”
Red Socks was just about to speak, when he happened to see a group of knights in patterned armor.
The group of people rode sturdy black war horses, silently walking along the forest road, they exuded an aura that ordinary people could not reach, even if the forest road was very crowded, no one wanted to approach them, everyone consciously made a third of the road for these construction knights for the construction knights to pass.
No one dared to provoke this group of knights, and when they passed by, He Boqiang clearly felt that there was almost no one in the forest road talking.
Only the red socks pulled He Boqiang's sleeve with a big grin, and said excitedly: "Little Dack, look...... This is the constructed knight of our Bena Legion......"
The bearded Cagle leaned against a fallen giant tree, looked at the Red Socks with disgust, and said, "Even if you are the Duke, you don't seem to need to be so excited. ”
He Boqiang sat on the side of the road, looking at the burly knights seriously, it was said that they were wearing expensive magic pattern uniforms, and the black war horses under them were also covered with a layer of armor, and some dark lines like scales could be faintly seen in the shiny black fur.
The Constructed Knight has some coercion that only the strongest have, which is a bit breathless.
