773 Sure enough, there was an ambush

Manstein hurried over with his men, and a moment later they arrived at the camp.

There were still quite a few things left in the camp, even broth that was being cooked on an earthen stove.

Beside them were a few freshly opened clay pots with meat and vegetables.

There were also a lot of things thrown around that were too late to take away, such as some clothes that didn't have time to be dressed, leather boots, and even armor.

It is clear that the enemy retreated in a hurry......

Several soldiers dismounted, came to the earthen stove, and picked up the soup pot.

There was also a plate of biscuits that had just been opened and had not had time to eat.

These things, they have also captured some of them from the camps of these Eastern armies in the past few days.

Of course, they were mainly found in the camp of the Eastern Eight States Coalition Army, but they were slandered.

These soldiers from the Mains Continent had never eaten anything delicious in Hehe.

You must know that before coming to the Aurora Continent, these soldiers were still eating raw meat most of the time.

The low-ranking soldiers in their army live a life of drinking blood, which is really not an exaggeration.

And after passing through Baiyun Mountain, especially after seizing the camp of the Eastern Eight States Coalition Army.

But to the delight of their soldiers, in that camp they had scavenged too much good.

One of the most popular among the soldiers was the biscuits, and the canned meat.

Needless to say, the biscuits are fragrant and sweet, not to mention the soldiers, even their nobles also like to eat them very much.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the Mains Continent, even these nobles can't eat sweet things every day.

But these warlords of the Aurora Continent are so exaggerated that they give their soldiers such delicious bread.

There is also the canned meat, Rao is a nobleman like Manstein, after eating it once, it is also unforgettable day and night.

This stuff is too tasty, isn't it?

The meat was rotten, and I don't know what seasoning they put in it.

Anyway, that kind of beef is really the best beef he's ever eaten in his life.

At this moment, the two brave soldiers were already holding the pot of beef soup, squatting on the ground to eat and drink on the biscuits.

The other soldiers were very angry when they saw this situation, but because of the order of the commander, no one dared to come down.

The two soldiers were also very discerning, and saw the eyes of Manstein and Heitinga.

The two of them hurriedly found two clay pots from the side, filled them with some broth, and brought them two biscuits that they had never touched.

"My lord, this is the lunch of those Auroras, you can taste it."

Manstein and Heitinga were also unpretentious, and they took the jar, sat down on their horses with biscuits, and began to eat them.

From the time they left the camp in the morning to now it was more than one o'clock in the afternoon, and they had been hungry for so long on the march.

As soon as the other soldiers saw that the two adults had begun to eat, some of them jumped off their horses and asked for something to eat.

There were even people who rummaged through the camps and found them.

Some people find cookies and stuff them in their arms, but more often than not, they find empty cans of leftovers.

But even so, they filled up the empty clay pots.

After all, these are also good things for the soldiers of these 10,000-character army.

In their hometown, their family, the only tableware they can use is plates made of wood.

There was not even a wooden bowl, and if everyone wanted to drink soup, the family gathered around a pot to drink.

With this clay pot to take back, the family will not have to surround the pot when they are drinking soup in the future.

And this thing can not only be used as a soup bowl, but also as a water cup.

Therefore, this kind of small clay pot is a sought-after item in the hearts of the soldiers of the Wanzi Army.

Not only the jars, but also some of the discarded tents and clothes in the camp.

Soon the entire camp was looted, and by this time Manstein and Heitinga had already eaten.

The two of them looked up at the pass in front of them, which was seven or eight hundred meters in front of them.

However, the terrain is not very friendly to them.

Because from this camp, the terrain starts to climb all the way, and the slope is very steep.

But from here, to the pass, the altitude is at least three or four hundred meters.

If you want to climb up directly, although it is not difficult for them, it is very physically demanding.

The most important thing is that they can't be sure that there will be an ambush in the pass.

Those enemy soldiers had not fled far, and if they were not stupid, they should have informed their main forces.

Then behind this pass, there will definitely be an ambush.

Thinking of this, Manstein called a herald behind him and whispered to him.

"Dismount and get ready!"

The herald went to the back.

At this time, Manstein glanced back at the soldiers behind him, and he raised his right hand.

The soldiers dismounted, and they didn't know much about the commander, who had the nickname of the Red Rose.

In this case, it seems that he intends to let everyone storm this steep slope.

Sure enough, soon, two teams of 100 people slowly went up from both sides of the dirt slope towards the rugged pass of the troubled times.

Of course, they are also very careful in the process of climbing.

At the front were a few shield-bearers, followed by archers, behind whom were the real attacking troops.

Everyone climbed all the way up, but to everyone's surprise, they were halfway up the slope, but there was no reaction at the pass at the top of the slope.

When Manstein saw this, he couldn't help frowning, what was going on?

Did the enemy really not fortify the pass?

However, when the two teams climbed to a distance of more than 100 meters from the pass.

Finally, there was movement behind the pass, and rows of arrows rained down from behind the pass.

A rain of arrows cut an arc across the sky and projected it towards the soldiers who were climbing the slope.

Fortunately, the soldiers were prepared and raised their shields one after another.

There was a ding-dong sound, and this round of arrow rain was prevented, and it did not bring much damage to the two centurians.

And the archers in the hundred-man team also found a good position at this time, and began to shoot arrows at the pass.

Although they can't see where the enemy is, it doesn't prevent them from shooting arrows at them.

In fact, they didn't expect to shoot many enemies, but just wanted to put some psychological pressure on the opponent's archers.

At the same time, the two centuriens were holding shields, speeding up and speeding towards the top of the pass slope.

Soon they climbed to the pass, and they didn't meet any resistance during this time?

Manstein froze, he couldn't understand, why? Why are there no enemies?

But just as one of the centurions who had climbed the pass turned back to beckon his companions to hurry up, a crossbow bolt suddenly struck him in the face......
