Chapter 62: Grufender in the Dark
When Liang Ke returned to the camp, the battle was over, and the cavalrymen were happily escorting the prisoners of war into the makeshift prisoner of war camp, throwing the prisoners into it like dragging dead dogs, and then happily talking about each other's performance in the battle.

Mingge's military tent was brightly lit, and all the generals were reporting the situation of the pursuit to the general, and everyone saw Liang Ke coming in from outside the tent, and they all got up to greet him, and General Mingge also came out from behind the table, and took Liang Ke's hand to ask about the situation of blocking the fleeing enemy army. Liang Ke only said that the enemy army did not seem to flee from the direction of his ambush and did not encounter the enemy army, Ming Ge patted him on the shoulder and comforted Liang Ke not to be discouraged, if everything can be expected, it is God.
The significance of the success of this anti-ambush war is quite enormous. In this battle, more than 700 enemies were directly killed, more than 330 enemy troops were captured, 1,000 red-tailed fangs were captured, and there were 200 large reindeer, but this strange beast was difficult to control, and the sergeant tried many times, but he could not control this mount as commanding. The quality of the captured cavalry spears and sabers was also better than that of the small steel cap, and General Mingo did not hesitate to announce that except for the mounts and bows and crossbows, the rest of the captured would be used as a reward for combat, and whoever captured them would be used, but the replaced equipment needed to be handed back to the equipment department. In addition to these direct captures, more importantly, through this battle, the new army quickly grew into a real iron-blooded hero, helping these recruits to build up the confidence to dare to fight and win, although the little steel hat also paid the price of 200 casualties, but this also made the sergeants realize the cruelty of the war, and also inspired them to defend their homeland and the country.
In addition to verbal commendations and material rewards within the army, General also asked the clerk to register all officers and soldiers with meritorious service and outstanding performance in the register and report them to the military department to remember their merits, and at the same time, to give generous bereavement to the officers and men who died bravely in the line of duty. A potential crisis thus turned into a perfect ambush war, the whole army rejoiced, the morale was unprecedentedly high, and the small steel hat of the Northeast Theater rushed into the distance against the rising sun.
Locke ran wild for a day and a night, and he finally came back here, back to the powerful man, he was a little panicked, and he was a little angry and remorseful, but it was nothing, at least, he was safe now.
The middle-aged man was still so accustomed to wrapping himself in a black robe, Bai Sensen's candle flame shone from behind him on his hand holding the book, and the hands were still so white and slender, how could it not be reminiscent of a pair of god-killing hands that had cut off countless heads. The middle-aged man didn't seem to see the trembling Locke, he slowly read the old book in his hand that he didn't know how many times, and then carefully put the book into a delicate purple paulownia box, and picked up the hot towel in the silver plate and wiped the handsome hands, the used towel was still spotless, but he threw it into the trash can with fine carving on his side.
"You...... Coming back?" the man's voice was low and magnetic, sounding like someone was playing a flute in his ear.
"Yes, Father!" Locke had been standing there for a long time, his hands and feet numb at the moment, but he still struggled to get down on one knee and make what he thought was the most humble posture.
"You...... How many people did you bring back?" the man spoke slowly, as if asking, and as if muttering to himself.
"There are a total of 432 people on the road, and they should be returned one after another in the past few days...... Others came back. Locke didn't dare to look up at the man's face, and even if he did, he wouldn't see any of the information he wanted to read, so he could only bury his head lower, he didn't know if the man's anger would make his head fall to the ground in the next moment.
"So, how many 'white-haired' warriors did you take with you?"
"Two thousand...... Two thousand one hundred fifty-two warriors. ”
"The commanding 'white-haired wind' cavalry has not been defeated for thirty years, but today it is so miserable. You're ambushing a new army of infantry and cavalry?"
"This ...... Yes, my father, their number is the newly formed 1st Division of the Northeast Theater, which has been in the army for less than three months. Locke subconsciously wanted to explain, but he was very smart, he knew that if he did, then his father would never wait for him to finish his words, and he would not hesitate to pierce him in the chest with a long sword.
"I'm curious about how such a young team can defeat our elite cavalry, you tell me about it, let's take it as a story!"
The man said it easily, Locke didn't dare to really tell his defeat as a story, he told the whole battle process in 1510, he didn't dare to exaggerate, let alone hide any detail, and he talked in detail for nearly an hour before he finished speaking.
The man in the dark listened very carefully, and after listening to it, he was silent for a long time, and then said in an eternal tone: "Get up, my child! In the face of such an enemy, it is not your fault that we failed, but we did not fully understand and evaluate the enemy before attacking, and we underestimated the enemy." You've worked hard, go down and have a good rest. ”
Locke, who was kneeling on the ground, was pardoned, thanked the man for his grace, and then got up from the ground with difficulty, and he held on to the cold and damp wall, and moved step by step to the cold iron door, just put his hand on the doorknob, but was stopped by the voice.
"Locke!"
Locke took a deep breath, slowly turned around, and bowed again.
"Father, you...... Any other commands?"
"Do you think that guy named Aragorn saw through your plan?"
Locke raised his eyebrows slightly, the cold light in his eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "I suspect that the anti-ambush plan is also related to him." ”
"Ahh Pull... Funny guy. Go and call Aurora to me. ”
"Yes, Father. Locke turned to go out, closed the door gently, dragged his sore-chested legs, and walked towards the distant lamp by holding on to the wall, when suddenly a gust of wind blew, and he felt a chill on his soaked back.
In the past few days, the marching speed of the little steel hat has gradually slowed down, although the front command sends people to urge every day, but the originally frozen and solid road surface has turned into a spring mud in a few days, those Kongca beasts have used all their strength, but they can't bring the wheels that are pressed deep into the mud, General Minggo ordered the infantry to take turns to help push the large ordnance, even so, it is impossible to go fifty miles a day, fortunately, the "Rambet Point" is close at hand, according to the requirements of the military department, it will be able to arrive before the end of March.
In the nearly month since the march, Joanna has received two letters, one was received by Liang Ke when he had just left Binuk Province, Joanna told Liang Ke that he received a letter from his grandfather the day after he left, saying that his grandmother was seriously ill and wanted to return to the imperial capital immediately, and that he would not return to Binouk in the future, and told Liang Ke that after the task was completed, he must go to the imperial capital to find her;
Liang Ke read Joanna's letter full of warmth through the bonfire, his heart was warm, he took out Ramboer's letter a few days ago, held it in his hand and looked left and right, the handwriting of the two girls was gentle and mellow, and the other was delicate and straight, but the friendship revealed between the lines was so sincere and lingering, Liang Ke only smirked, but he didn't notice that the two letters were seen by the "Simba" guards standing behind him.
"Hmph! Our Captain of Aragon is really an amorous species! Walking on the march, he also hooked the two beauties of our imperial capital, and it would be strange if those gentlemen knew that the goddess in their hearts already belonged to them, and they were not alive and angry. Hehehe!" Xin Jiaer cocked his orchid fingers, pinched a skewer of fragrant lamb skewers, and giggled and teased Liang Ke. Liang Ke folded the two letters carefully, put them into an oiled paper bag, and put the paper bag into the leather bag he carried with him, he said while collecting them: "Hehe, how can I smell the boss's vinegar, if you feel uncomfortable in your heart, young master, I can also write you such an affectionate letter for free, otherwise, if you write me one, I can reluctantly accept it, what do you think?"
Xin Jiaer knew that it would be self-inflicted to fight with this cheeky guy again, she turned her anger into food, and sent the fragrant and tender piece of mutton into her mouth, Liang Ke looked at the plump red lips and drooled, and quickly picked up a string of mutton skewers to nibble on it, hiding her embarrassment.
Liang Ke's personal soldiers have a special treatment, that is, when Liang Ke is in a good mood, they can eat Liang Ke's own barbecued meat skewers. The way of roasting meat has been around for a long time, but Liang Ke's method of cutting meat into small pieces, fat and thin, supplemented by mutton fat and special spices, is a delicacy they have never tasted. After tasting this food for the first time, these delicious guys can never forget it, so they all do their best to keep Liang Ke happy, because as long as Liang Ke is happy, he is willing to show his skills in front of everyone, and everyone can eat this convenient and delicious meat.
Today, Liang Ke showed his skills again not because he received a letter from Joanna, but because tomorrow they will arrive at "Cape Rambet", which is the real front line of war, and maybe tomorrow morning, they will face the orc cavalry, so he specially asked Al to take the troll guards to hunt a few jumping sheep that are unique to this area, and personally roasted some mutton for all the sergeants. Lao Liang knew in his heart that after eating this meal, it was really difficult to say how many people would be able to eat the next meal, so he also did his best until everyone's stomach was filled.
