Early the next morning, the group left the small fishing village and continued to move in the direction of the battlefield.

Just walk and stop, when you encounter the mainland, when you encounter the slow road, when you encounter the towns and villages, you will settle down to rest,

Two days later, at noon, Clark, the one-eyed dragon riding in front of the carriage, "!! "With a bang,

Suddenly he grabbed the reins and shouted to the coachman behind him:

"Big guy Jim!! Stop the carriage! ”

He came to the window of the carriage and said to the mistress inside, "Madam, I have noticed that there is smoke rising in the distance, and that there are no peasants working in the wheat fields near here, which is obviously not right, and we must be near the battlefield." ”

Jian Ning poked his head out and looked outside: "Don't we have a map, walk in the direction of the medical station, and you can meet our allies." ”

The one-eyed dragon smiled and said, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm not very competent as a guide, we seem to be ...... Well...... Lost. ”

"What? Lost? ”

"Yes, I'm sorry, ma'am, but I have to defend myself, at first I knew the direction of the medical station, but this morning, the tracks and ruts of the army crushed the road to the mud, and the nearby villagers had fled, and no one could ask, so I got lost."

"It's okay, didn't you just say it, we're almost on the battlefield, the medical station shouldn't be far away, let's just move on."

"Well, that's the way it goes, but we're close to the battlefield and into the range of scout activities, so we have to be extra careful." As he spoke, the one-eyed dragon gently lowered his tweed felt hat with one hand, and looked back and forth warily.

"Mr. Clark, I don't quite understand, we should be in the rear of our army now, how can we not be safe?" Janine asked.

"You have never been to battle, my noble lady," said Clark the One-Eyed Dragon, "and I am a battle-hardened horseman, and of course I know the power of it. ”

Jian Ning asked with interest, "Could you please tell me about it?" ”

"Ma'am, let's talk as we go," said the one-eyed dragon to the coachman who was driving the carriage, "big man Jim! It's OK to go, but slow down, the road conditions are not very good, pay attention to walking around the pothole, don't break the wheel suspension bar. ”

Then, pacing slowly on horseback, he spoke to the hostess in the window about his experience:

"When two modern armies go to war, the most important thing is intelligence gathering, which is usually done by scouts.

The so-called scout troops are engaged in reconnaissance work, and most of them are composed of light cavalry units such as hussars or chassars riding light horses, and they require the speed and endurance of this type of troops.

Scout units tasked with scouting the enemy rarely operate in clusters, and are usually broken up into small teams.

Using your main force as an anchor point and getting as close as possible to the enemy, scouts have to go around the enemy's flank or even rear most of the time in order to see the size and movement of the enemy, which is quite a dangerous and exciting job.

It is inevitable to encounter enemy forces in the process, and when encountering large, dense enemy troops, they will choose to flee, but the most common situation is that the scout troops of both sides collide head-on, and there will be a small cavalry encounter.

Before every major battle begins, there will be dozens, if not hundreds, of these scout encounters, and although they have no far-reaching impact on the overall situation of the war, the light cavalry are brave and aggressive young men, quick and vicious.

Because I have had such an experience, in the present situation, we are close to the battlefield, which means that we have left the world of peace and quiet, and are gradually going deeper into the realm of savage and death.

At any time, they may run into scouts from the Papal States or the Sylvinian Empire, and they will attack civilians regardless of whether they are soldiers or not, so we have to be extra careful to join our own army as soon as possible. ”

Jian Ning listened very carefully, and asked in surprise at this time: "Oh my God, attacking civilians?" This is contrary to the rules of the battlefield and gentlemanly manners. ”

"Madam, don't be fooled by the verses and ballads that sing the praises of war, gentlemanly manners are only for big cities and courts, war is never a beautiful and romantic thing, if you want me to say it......"

Speaking of this, Clarke, the one-eyed dragon, paused, thought about how to use words, took a sharp puff of his pipe, and suddenly raised his voice:

"Ahh There you have, if you want me to say, war is a fucking giant slaughterhouse!

People are like fat pigs waiting to be slaughtered, standing in a row under the orders of the commander and waiting to die, but in order to solve the contradictions between countries, this slaughterhouse must be open all year round! You say that's not the case, haha! ”

Jian Ning drank afternoon tea in the carriage, held the teacup and said: "Mr. Clark, you are really not rough, in other words, when you were a soldier, did you also fight with the enemy scouts?" ”

Clarke, the one-eyed dragon, was excited, and whenever someone asked him about his proudest topic, this guy often spat and bragged:

"Haha! You're really asking the right person, Lao Tzu...... Oh, hehe, I'm sorry ma'am, our good butler Constance told me to improve my quality,

There were a lot of fucking scout encounters I fought back then!

There were so many enemies to kill that I almost lost count of them!

You know, when peers meet, they are very red-eyed!

After the scout troops meet, they will often fight very brutally and fiercely, and they will not think about any prisoners and ransoms at all, and they must see blood when they meet, and whoever escapes first will lose the face of the military flag.

Madame, you have certainly not seen that scene, the skirmishes of the light cavalry are wonderful, and they test the skill of individual horsemen and horse-mounted shooting, and of course, the cavalry knife skills, compared to which the exchange of fire of the large army is just a lively point, and does not reflect any personal value.

I think back then, I was ......"

As soon as he talked about his favorite topic, the one-eyed dragon began to talk endlessly, becoming noisy, like a washerwoman with many mouths and many tongues.

Janine interrupted him, "Mr. Clark, I know you've been a great character before, and you've done so many heroic deeds, it's not too late to tell me about them later, and I'm more interested in, have you ever attacked civilians?" ”

Hearing this sharp question, Clark's excited expression instantly froze, and he was a lot quieter all of a sudden.

"Hey...... I am embarrassed by your question, ma'am, do you want to hear the truth? Or ......"

Before he could finish the second half of his sentence, Janine made a choice: "Please tell me the truth, Mr. Clark,

I'm not a weak glass heart, I've been through a lot, I've seen the best and the worst, and my husband has told me some brutal things on the battlefield, just tell me, I'm okay.
