Chapter 64

It has been three days since the last scout reconnaissance mission returned, and in the past three days, the 13th Cavalry Corps has stepped up its combat preparations, and a large number of materials and equipment have been transported to the garrison.

In the past three days, the generals of one flag regiment and one flag regiment have been constantly entering and exiting the big tent, the combat meeting has been carried out intensively, all the tasks have been assigned, and the jǐng ring of the garrison has also been promoted to the highest level.

However, these have nothing to do with Char for the time being, he is lying on the bed, his mind is still repeatedly recalling the experience of today's trial, and at the same time grasping the time to rest, a short hour of rest, must allow his physical strength to be fully recovered.

Although he had never actually been on the battlefield yet, that brief encounter with Odin's ice hunters in the woods had already given Char a taste of the cruel side of war.

He loved being in this place, and he loved the new friends around him, whether it was Kevin, or Cato, and the burly man Sharba, who was very upright and straightforward, especially when he was accepted by them, and who treated him sincerely—an atmosphere that was absolutely absent in Wildfire.

Char had never really had any friends in his eighteen years, except for this brief adventure in the wildfire field, so he cherished that feeling now.

But he also knew very well that this was the army! The army was going to fight! The war was cruel!

Therefore, he must practice his skills well.

In the past few days, he has been practicing martial arts hard during the day, and at night he has taken the initiative to apply for patrol tasks, just so that he can seize the opportunity to practice his equestrian skills. And every time Char patrolled, he would seize the time to ask the cavalry who were patrolling together about the assassination skills of the cavalry in horseback combat.

He knew very well that the simplest skill might become his life-saving reliance on the battlefield in the future - this was not because of how smart he was, but because he had practiced it since he was a child fighting wild beasts in the mountains and forests.

The hour's rest passed quickly, and poor Dodoroti brought water, but Char had no time to shower, so he jumped up and put on the armor that the magician had wiped fresh and rushed out of the tent...... The magician foamed at the mouth from behind, threw the brush on the ground, and lay down on Char's bed.

God, bless this turtle and let him fall off his horse while he is on patrol......

The prayer of the magician's heart.

※※※

Joined the patrol according to the order, Xia Ya followed the team out of the gate of the station, and saw a horse team coming slowly in the distance, and the cavalry at the front was under the banner of the emperor's ** team, and the queue was solemn.

"Who?" Char asked his companion.

"It's a guy from the Sixth Corps...... I heard that they will be coming over in the next two days. Hey...... Rookie, you're so lucky, you've just arrived to catch up with a big battle!" a seasoned cavalryman next to him grinned.

The oncoming caravan quickly changed its formation, and the patrol immediately gave way for the patrol to pass through the main road. Char and the cavalry of the patrol watched the army pass by on the side of the road, this horse team was not very numerous, only a hundred or ten horses, and in the middle a group of cavalrymen in jīng armor escorted a general who rode a red sè steed - the general had big shoulders and a round waist, and although he was wearing a full suit of gold sè armor, he looked bloated instead of jīng.

"That's General Ruhr of the Sixth Corps. A patrol cavalryman next to him told Char.

General Char immediately compared this guy to General Adric, and then a trace of disdain grew in his heart. This guy looks more like a cook......

"He's a chef by training. Another cavalryman laughed quietly: "General Ruel is a member of the Minas family, he used to be the cook of the Duke of Minas, and then he was promoted by the Duke of Minas somehow. Alas...... The Duke of Minas is also a famous commander of the empire, and he has seen such a guy all his life. ”

Obviously, the cavalry of the 13th Corps seemed to be disdainful of the Ruhr general.

In fact...... They certainly have reason to despise this Ruhr general.

The tradition of the 13th Cavalry Regiment was "Advance or Die!" In the history of the Legion, this iron army has never retreated.

But this Ruhr general has a special record in the Byzantine Empire: the troops he commanded have always suffered the least losses and the most intact at the end of each war!

Because the Ruhr general seems to have a very special talent: he can always foresee or sense impending danger, and then ...... Lead the troops to a quick evacuation before danger arrives!

Attention, it's an evacuation, not an escape, because this guy will never lead a team out of battle if he violates military orders, because then he will be punished by military law. What makes General Ruhr special is that he can always find a way out of the most dangerous situations and evacuate safely with his men.

There was a time in a war when General Ruhr was only the flag officer of the flag regiment and led the army to serve as the vanguard, because of the sudden detour of the enemy's army, he went directly to the rear and attacked the main force behind. As a result, the Ruhr's army was trapped in enemy-occupied territory.

As a result, this Lord Ruhr showed a skill that all Byzantine generals admired: he led 2,000 of his subordinates, surrounded by more than 40,000 enemy troops, and found a gap in the complex terrain and ran all the way out of the enemy-occupied area!

Except for a few soldiers who sprained their feet while escaping, he actually didn't lose a single soldier!!

If not a miracle, such a conductor is a masterpiece of art!

General Ruhl has been in the army for 30 years, and he has never fought a tough battle, but his troops can always complete the tasks of flanking or detouring, and his troops advance quickly, and the speed of retreat is even faster!

Moreover, he also set an impressive record among all the generals of the Byzantine Empire: his army once went head-to-head with the army of Hasting, the god of war of the Odin Empire, who was recognized as the number one general on the continent!

Hastings is recognized as the number one fierce general on the mainland, and he is also the proudest military god in the Odin Emperor's ** team! The Byzantine Empire has always won and lost wars against the Odin Empire, but in the face of Hastin's army, it has always lost more than victories, and even the 13th Cavalry Corps of the Iron Army has suffered big losses.

But this Ruhr general is different......

War broke out between the two countries about six years ago, when Ruhl had just been promoted to general and commanded a corps of troops, but unfortunately his army was confronted by Hasting's corps on the battlefield.

Ruhr was ordered that he must hold Hasting's army for at least two days!

At first, the Ruhr general sent someone to write a letter of war to Hasting, which was full of rhetoric, asking Hastings to fight a head-on battle on the battlefield! The battle book was very dignified, and he also explained that although he knew that he was not Hasting's opponent, he ......

"Defend the dignity of the warrior and defend the glory of the emperor, our army vows to fight to the death and write the integrity of a Byzantine soldier with blood!"

"I can fight with Your Excellency, although I have no regrets in death!"

-- These are the exact words of that war letter!!

Seeing such a chivalrous opponent, Hasting's heart was overjoyed, and he agreed to such a request with a heroic mentality, and sent someone to write a very respectful war letter in reply.

As a result, just when Hastings was preparing for a decisive battle two days later, he led his troops to rush to the Ruhr's camp, only to find that the camp had already been empty!

It turned out that after the Ruhr general received Hasting's reply, he left all the baggage and ordnance logistics that night, and ran away with his men and horses overnight.

By the time Hastings was furious and led people to chase and kill, Ruhl's men were already two hundred miles away......

Although he lost all his ordnance and baggage, he was not punished by the military department because Ruhl successfully delayed Hastings for two days.

Hastings made an assessment of this vile opponent: of all the Byzantine generals, this Ruhr was the most vile and cunning, he was simply a fox...... No, the fox is bolder than he is, he's a rabbit at all! a rabbit that runs fast!

Since then, General Ruhr has received a nickname - "Rabbit Run"!

Another interesting thing is...... The letter that Ruhl wrote to Hasting, which was full of words, was torn to pieces by Hasting's anger after he found out that he had been fooled, but later, after the fierce general of Odin calmed down, he glued the war letter back and kept it with him, reminding himself that he must not be arrogant and careless in the future.

This practice spread and added a lot of fame to General Ruhr from the side.

After hearing the glorious past of the rabbit general from the mouths of the cavalry, Char looked at the horses in the distance without the slightest disdain, but showed a little deep thought and admiration.
