"Bury these corpses on the spot, and the army will continue to move forward" The fat man's sharp gaze, with a bit of surprise, swept over the dozen or so corpses that were shot like hedgehogs, his eyebrows frowned slightly, he didn't expect to suddenly encounter the Black Forest rebels in the dense forest fifty miles away from Ebony, but the timeline that had already passed the middle of the night did not allow him to have much time to think about it, no matter what, he had to see the camp of the Black Forest rebels before dawn, "Your Majesty, I think something is wrong!" Beside him, a middle-aged general with a fierce look whispered worriedly, "These Black Forest soldiers with hunting dogs prove that these people collided with us, it was a complete accident, their target should be someone else, and they also shot a rocket into the air just now, it should be a signal that they have found some kind of target or call for help, and they can search here from the battlefield, which is enough to prove that the target they are searching for is very important." Do you mean that the commander of the Second Cavalry Banner of the Southern Army, Yaglins, the Sukers have already failed? No, although their total strength is not as good as that of the coalition army, they also occupy the advantage of geographical advantages, if they defend Emuto, they should be able to support at least 5 days" The fat man glanced at him with an unexpected face, this person was Yaglins, the commander of the Second Cavalry Banner of the Southern Army who arrived this morning
"If the Sukh tribe really relies on the strong city of ebony to fall as His Majesty thinks, my subordinates are afraid that they will choose to take the initiative!" "Don't forget, Your Majesty, it's winter, it's the season of extreme lack of food in the Black Forest, and there are very few animals in the forest, because the incident happened suddenly, and the food that the Sukh people can hoard must be insufficient.
In order to avoid an oasis outside the city that could provide food and end up as a partition of the coalition forces, the possibility of the Sukhs taking the initiative is very high! It should be the defense line of the Biang River, the entrance to the great oasis of Umuto,
The entrance was narrow and the river was fast, which was a natural defensive line for the Sukhs of Umuto, but they forgot that it was the dry season, and the whole river was useless, and if they could detect the depth of the water in advance, they would have swam through it on foot. According to the superior strength of the coalition forces, it is completely easy to defeat their blockade, and then directly suppress the ebony to."
"Biang River?" The fat man whispered the name of the place with a solemn face, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and Ning Sheng suddenly asked, "How far is the Biang River from us now?"
"Less than ten miles!" replied Jarglins with great certainty, as the commander of a mobile cavalry unit, Jargin needed to know in advance that those places were conducive to cavalry fighting in a flat battle, and those might become difficult places for cavalry to maneuver. As soon as the Governor gave the order to enter the Black Forest, he was to have his cavalry reach Umuto first, and for this he was said to have been able to draw a map of the Black Forest with his eyes closed." The enemy's camp is already very close to us!"
The fat man touched his chin cautiously, he was not familiar with the environment of the Black Forest, but as a Southern Army, Jargin had already had a comprehensive understanding of the Black Forest, and had also taken advantage of the opportunities of trade. He personally accompanied the caravan across the entire Black Forest region, and this time received an order from His Majesty Falcon to cooperate with the march of a Southern Army general who was familiar with the Black Forest region. The first thing that came to mind was the Governor of the South, Statunko,
Yagrins's Second Cavalry Banner Regiment, in general, is a light cavalry flag regiment, numbering about 7,000 people, because it is the fastest cavalry unit, so Yagrins, who received the order, was the first unit to join the fat man,
With the arrival of the Second Cavalry Banner Regiment, plus the Third Infantry Banner Regiment of Reposti, the fat man was able to personally command more than 15,000 troops, considering that the Sukh people could hold on to the limited time, the fat man asked Statunko to send a two-way battle plan into the Black Forest, and then took 15,000 people to rush to the Sukh area in advance, but he didn't expect to encounter this accident on the way
"If it is really as you analyzed, the possibility that the Black Forest rebels have broken through the Biang River is very high!" The fat man's voice stopped, and he said with a cautious expression, "And this time in the Black Forest rebels, there is also a guy who has studied the tactics of the Sukh hunts for a long time, if he deliberately sets up an ambush, it is completely possible to annihilate all the Suk chasseurs who took the initiative to attack in the Biang River."
"What your majesty is talking about, is that the culprit who attacked the convoy behind his back?" Yaglins asked hesitantly, "Attack the convoy to distract the Empire, and then use the Sukh tribe to attack and attack Emuto in one fell swoop, it's really seamless" A hint of murderous intent flashed in the fat man's eyes,
He also learned about this unexpected news, the defeated and captured in the battle of Umuto, the self-proclaimed son of the son of the sky of the prophet descendant Ferrantir, unexpectedly escaped from the well-guarded prison half a month ago, although the southern governor Statunko has ordered a strict and thorough investigation of the matter, and issued a search warrant throughout the southern part of Salander, and also pasted Ferrantir's head everywhere, but the result is nothing
This son of the sky seems to have evaporated from the world, although Statunko also thought that the other party might enter the black forest, a blank area in the south, but considering the complicated situation in the Black Forest, he has not issued a search order, but has secretly sent people to search in the forest, and according to the news that has been transmitted, the most powerful punk in the Black Forest has found a person with a similar identity and behavior, but he has always been covered in a black robe, so he can't be completely sure
But as soon as he received the order of the fat man, Statunko immediately came to the speculation that it was this person who attacked the convoy, because the news came back from the eyes of the Punks, just a few days ago, this black-robed man with a mysterious identity went out with 300 warriors of the Punks, and less than 50 people returned, and everyone was wounded. "Actually, why should we speculate here" The fat man stopped his horse and suddenly shouted to the guards cavalry behind him, "Rita Tang, with your Kugit No. 1 tracking technique, can you find the target that the other party is looking for in this dense forest?" "Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as there are traces of zài, there is no possibility of escaping my eyes" As the response sounded, a captain of the guards cavalry about 30 years old came out of the queue behind. With a strong confidence on his face, he saluted the fat man with a respectful expression, and said, "But the scope of this dense forest is a bit large, and I need some scouts as helpers!"
"That's not a problem!" Jagrin turned and rode to the rear cavalry ranks, shouting, "The first and second scouts are out of line! Two groups of lightly armed cavalry with crossbows on their backs obeyed the order and came out of the rear ranks in order
"From now on, this man's orders are my orders!" Jagrin pointed his finger at Rita Tang and shouted "Do you all understand?" The "obedience" scout cavalry replied neatly, "Thank you!" Retanta nodded gratefully to Jargrin and gave an order, "Everyone follow me." “
A hundred lightly armored scout cavalry who heard the order broke away from their team on both sides of the cluster like the wind, followed closely behind the captain of the guards cavalry, and plunged headlong into the dense forest shrouded in darkness in front of them.
The armor on their bodies was very light, and the speed of the war horse was extremely fast, like a huge fan combing through the woodland, and the wild grass that reached the horse's belly touched the crotch of the war horse. The cavalry shield engraved with the red leaf coat of arms of the maple forest made a scraping rustle,
Facing the cold moonlight overhead, a huge search net quickly spread out from the gap between the forest trees. The moonlight shone on the black armor with an icy halo, and some frightened night birds flew into the air in terror, turning into countless black spots
No one spoke. Only the dense hooves of horses, trampling on the fluffy and dry leaves of the forest surface, made a low, crisp cracking sound. The night was full of slaughter, and there was a heavy atmosphere in the air,
"Stop!" Swift Tower, who was at the forefront, suddenly stopped his horse, he came down from it, crouched on the ground and brushed away the weeds of the woodland, and soon found a mess of marks in the grass, one of the more frivolous footprints caught his eye, and a few blood-colored spots on the ground, dark red in the dirt
As a senior Kugit scout, Ruitangta knows very well that the prey that is pursued is often extremely weak, or injured, although the other party is very good at covering up his whereabouts, and looking for dense weeds as much as possible to hide the traces, but this does not escape his sharp and sophisticated eyes, in the fresh division of the forest, the faint smell of blood is difficult to be covered, and Ruitangta's nose is very famous in the entire West Kugit, it is rumored that even if it is separated by 2 kilometers, it can be sensitively distinguishing the taste of male and female wolves
Following the traces of discovery, the scout cavalry began to close the range, the large net was closed, and after a few minutes, the news of the discovery of the target was quickly transmitted back from the front: "Your Majesty, we found a fainting woman at a position of 140 meters in front"
"I'll take a look!" the fat man's face was as gloomy as water when he heard the report, and he hurriedly urged his horse to gallop to the location of the scout's report, in front of a dense pile of weeds, the scouts formed a circle, and after saluting him, the Ruitang Tower carefully removed the weeds used to cover the ground,
Pointing to a figure inside, he said, "It's her, she had already passed out when she found it! There was blood on the ground, but it shouldn't be a fatal injury! It should be that after being overexcited, with fatigue and hunger, the brief fainting passed."
Rui Tang Ta said very professionally, not noticing at all, His Majesty the Falcon was cautiously squatting down, brushing the scattered red hair of the woman in the pile with his hand, and a pair of eagle-like pupils shrunk slightly,
"It's really Su Ke Bailing!" Through the moonlight, the woman's beautiful face met the eyelids, the fat man gasped, his hand trembled slightly, the prediction was confirmed, the Black Forest coalition army has broken through the defense line of the Su Ke tribe, and severely damaged the Su Ke tribe's proud chasers, otherwise Su Ke Bai Ling will not fall into the fate of being hunted, "Come on, take her to the military doctor immediately!" The fat man stood up and shouted sternly Although this woman has met with him several times, he can't just watch her die slowly, and the scouts hurriedly lifted Su Ke Bailing onto a war horse,
"Your Majesty, look at the ...... now" Yaglins, the commander of the Second Cavalry Banner, cautiously leaned over and asked, even a fool can see that this woman has some unclear relationship with His Majesty Falcon, as for what the relationship is, it doesn't matter, what matters is whether His Majesty Falcon will continue to march.
"Sue Sù Reposti, change the objectives of the battle, and encircle the Byan River!" I will attack before dawn," the fat man took the reins of his horse from the guards and turned on his horse. said with a grim face......
"Come, let's toast to the capture of Ebony tomorrow!" In the barracks on the river beach, the punk patriarch Punk Pasteur raised the wine glass in his hand and shouted excitedly to the patriarchs of the various tribes sitting around the roaring bonfire,
Surrounded by reveling soldiers, the allied forces suffered 3,000 casualties, but they also wiped out the resistance of the Sukhs, and now in front of everyone is an emuto who has no ability to resist. Like a beautiful woman who is about to be stripped naked, about to face a group of thugs armed to the teeth, the morale of the coalition army is greatly boosted, and in some cases, this war has ended prematurely
In the camp, countless burning fires lit up the sky, eclipsing the stars in the sky. The entrance of the largest tent in the middle of the camp was filled with red cuckoos that symbolized victory, and the huge tent was brightly lit. There was a lot of noise, interspersed with the toast of "Long live Master Pasteur".
The burning flames illuminated the reddened faces of the soldiers of all ethnic groups, and the military band of the Tarshi Military Academy was playing a melodious march, and a few thick bass voices were singing along to the tune. Won the applause of the officers. It's full of fun and fun.
"Cheers, for the Black Forest!" the excited, muscular Patriarch Sbias raised his glass and shouted loudly.
"For the Black Forest!" the patriarchs of the tribes replied in unison, raising their glasses as they drank their all. Everyone laughed together. "Now, Patriarch Pasteur should be able to tell us, is the treasure of the Prophet really in Umuto?"
Duane Twist stood up from his seat. As soon as his words came out, the surrounding patriarchs suddenly quieted down, and everyone's eyes swept towards the punk patriarch Punk Pasteur, who was stunned in the air with his wine glass.
Many of the patriarchs here are going for the rumored prophetic treasures, when the prophet was expelled and exiled by the temple, it is said that the place of exile is the Black Forest, and the first generation of builders of Emulto, which was also built by several tribes who were exiled with the prophet back then. Feeling the gaze of everyone, a smile appeared on the cunning face of the punk Pasteur very quickly, and he said very demagogically, "You should still remember the incident a few months ago, when the Sky Sect attacked Umuto and called it the Holy Land, don't forget, the Sky Cultists are fanatical followers of the Prophet Ferran, and Emuto is the last place where the Prophet is buried, and it is he who sued me, and the ancestors of many of you are not vassals of the Prophet?" Everyone should know very well how terrifying the power of the Prophet was in the first place, and His Excellency Ferrantir, a direct descendant of the Prophet Ferrantil, is in our military camp at this moment! Even if we put all this aside, the wealth of Ebonitor alone for hundreds of years is enough for us to survive this winter!" "Ferrantir is also in our military camp, is this true!" Duane Twistcas's face changed, and he continued to ask. I heard that his arrest notices are posted everywhere now, if we contain him, will it attract the attention of the Falcon Army, after all, with our strength now, we still can't really compete with the Empire, in case ......!"
"No what," a slightly hoarse voice interrupted him, giving people an unpleasant feeling, "Although the falcon is powerful, he is not an omnipresent god after all, as long as we advance fast enough, when they find out, we have to admit the fact that it has been done, unless the empire goes to war in the Black Forest, this possibility is too small, if the empire wants to go to war, it will be opened a long time ago, and it will wait until now! And I can guarantee that in ten days, the eyes of the empire will not see here!"
"Why are you so sure?"
Duane Newcas's voice stopped, and his eyes shot like lightning towards the mysterious black-robed man next to Punk Pasteur, because he had always been covered with a black robe, and the patriarchs didn't know his identity, but they only knew that this was a strategic genius, this time the ambush of the Sukh huntsmen and the breaking of the defense line of the Biang River in one fell swoop was the arrangement of the black-robed man, and hearing him say this, the tension in the hearts of the patriarchs was also reduced a little
"Hehe, three days ago, one of the empire's convoys on the border was attacked, this should be enough to keep them busy for a while!" A sneer appeared at the corner of the black-robed man's mouth, and the smugness in it was clearly revealed, "What a bold and effective plan!" After listening to the explanation of the black-robed man, the patriarchs let out an excited shout, "Come, let's work harder, and take Ebony Tuo tomorrow!" The rushing water of the Biang River slapped against the goose warm stones on both sides, and the water washed and collided, making a brisk sound of water, which also muffled some abnormal sounds
The moonlight drifted down like water, in the darkness, the boundary between light and darkness, in the forest not far from the river beach. On one side, the dense forest under the moonlight, the branches swaying in the kind night breeze form a dreamlike and tranquil scene, and on the other side of the forest, the black shadow is gradually expanding, like a black cloud gradually covering the sight of the moonlight, which is a dense black with a dense suffocating atmosphere,
Occasionally, a few dark black reflections could be seen, and if one looked from a high place at the moment, they would find a dense forest less than a hundred meters away from the brightly lit camp. is resembling an island that is gradually being submerged by the black tide, (to be continued.) )
