At this moment, Manninger's eyes were like lightning, and they just fell on Fuya. At this time, if Char showed the slightest panic on his face, or if he showed a little flaw, he would probably die.

It's more subtle. If you keep it too calm and too casual, it will seem too fake......

I have to say that at this time, the time to test Char's acting skills has come.

It can be said that the turtle has deceived countless people in his life, and many people are deceived by his seemingly rude appearance, but most people don't know that our turtle is also very talented in acting......

Manninger asked sharply. The lightning-like gaze fell on Xia Wu's face, and Char's expression at that time was extremely wonderful. At first, he was a little stunned and surprised... But there must not be the slightest panic in this astonishment and astonishment! On the contrary, it is true. As if he had heard something inexplicably absurd, his eyes widened and he met Manninger for a moment.

Then his face quickly showed a trace of disdain, and in this disdain, he also deliberately showed a bit of mockery, a little arrogance, and a little contempt.

In the end, he simply looked at Manninger with a blank look. It was as if he was saying, "Do you have a problem with your brain?"

The beauty of this series of expressions is that the level distribution of changes is wonderful.

At first, I was stunned and shocked, and it seemed to meant: What nonsense are you talking about? Where did you get the ridiculous news, how can you think that our troops are not here? Then the disdain and arrogance are like: Oh, I see, you guy seems to be afraid of our Rhodrian cavalry, obviously cowardice.

The last brave look at each other, the meaning is even more obvious: It seems that you, the Red Snow Army, are nothing more than that, Uncle Ben can see it, cut ......

I have to say that Char's performance really made Manninger a little confused.

Even Manninger is a hero among the Odin, but ...... Char's acting skills are just too wonderful. Not to mention. With Char's physique and appearance, it is clear that he is a typical "straightforward" and "brave and upright" type of fierce general and iron man.

If there had been a more cunning and delicate guy, Manninger might not have been on the job.

But Char's dignity looks angry... Let's just say it, it's a rough blank at first glance! Looking horizontally and vertically, this kind of guy should be the most typical appearance of the legendary muscular and brainless person, and it doesn't look like the kind of master who is extremely good at acting and lying.

Lou Ningge began to tangle, and the two looked at each other for a while. Char retracted his gaze and pouted and sneered: "Hmph." If you're afraid, just say it, since you don't dare to put on a posture for a decisive battle......

Manninger's eyes narrowed, interrupting Char's words: "Who said it was scared? Merely. There seems to be something unbelievable about what you said. ”

There was a twinkle in his eyes: "I heard that the commander of the Rhodría cavalry has been replaced by the guy Ruhr, that fat man is the most timid and afraid of battle, and when it comes to escaping, he is the first in the world." I don't believe that the fat man dared to send someone to take the initiative to fight me? besides, ...... Hmph, he lied to Hastings once in the past, how do I know if he didn't come to lie to me again this time?"

Char shook his head, as if he was very impatient: "If you want to fight, you won't dare! What does it have to do with General Ruhr's guy!"

The disrespectful attitude towards Ruhr revealed in his tone made Manninger's heart move, and he asked, "Oh?

"Ruhr ......" Char's face made a little disdain, as if he hadn't completely concealed it, and accidentally revealed his disdain: "General Ruhr, well, what does it have to do with him when we fight us! At this moment, our army is in Wildfire Town, and it is not under the command of General Ruhr." ”

"Not the Ruhr leader?"

"Naturally not!" Char's expression showed a little indignation.

Manninger's heart became more and more relaxed, and he just stared at Char and couldn't stop looking.

Char immediately made a look of impatience that the other party looked at, and sneered: "Our army's Fourth Banner Regiment of Rhoderia is stationed in Wildfire Town at this moment! If you want to fight, you will fight a decisive battle tomorrow! If you don't dare, everyone will slowly consume it, Ba!" After saying that, he didn't even pay attention to Manninger, turned the horse's head and was about to leave, but before he turned around, there were immediately several Odin warriors with axes to block the way, the axe swayed, Fu Ya smiled, pulled out the fire fork in his hand, at this moment his fire fork has become much longer than before, the size can barely reach the long weapon of the horse battle, just in the laughter of Char, the fire fork in his hand waved over, behind a black shadow. With a few clicks, the sensitive-handled axe in front of him was suddenly cut off, and three Odin warriors were forced back by Char's mighty strength, and two of them even rushed out to both sides.

Char holds a fire fork in his hand. Turning his head, he shouted: "The Odin people are despicable and cowardly, and even the military envoys must be killed! Okay! Lao Tzu is afraid that you will not succeed! Come on!"

"Get out of the way!"

Manninger snorted in Odin, then the expression on his face relaxed, looked at Char levelly, and said slowly: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you rashly come to make a war letter, and there must be something that can prove your identity." ”

"Proof?" Char laughed, touched it from his arms, and finally pulled out a badge.

This badge was given to him for his work in the last war, and he threw it away, and Manninger raised his hand to take it. glanced at it twice in his hand, he Chixue Army and the Rhodria cavalry had fought, how could he not recognize it, this was the military merit medal of the Rhodria cavalry, ?

Those who can receive this kind of medal are also considered to be the best among the Rhodelian cavalry.

Manninger already believed three points in his heart, looked at Char and said, "Since that's the case, I'll ask you again." Why are you Rhodria cavalry not at the garrison, but you have made some kind of Fourth Banner Regiment to garrison Wildfire Town?"

Char laughed loudly, and there was a little unwillingness in his voice: "Hmph! You guy, you are verbose for a long time! Our Rodria cavalry is heroic! Hate that guy Ruhr has taken the place of our General Adric, that fat man is timid and cowardly, and the old people in our army are quite unconvinced, Ruhr simply got all the old people in our army to the Fourth Banner Regiment, and rushed to this border to defend the border, everyone is out of sight and out of mind, and everything is safe." ”

After a pause, he glared and shouted, "Even though our Rhodria cavalry has only one flag regiment. Nor are we afraid of you Odin barbarians! The Rodria cavalry will not retreat! We will not be afraid of you thousands of troops!"

Saying this, Manninger believed another three points.

He raised his eyelids and looked at Char, and smiled slightly: "Your Excellency is majestic, and you want to be in your army." It must not be just a small ordinary cavalryman, is it? May I ask your name, and what is your current military position?"

Char smiled proudly: "Lao Tzu is the former commander of the Adric Coffin Army's personal guard battalion, his name is Sharba! Now he is a battalion officer in the Fourth Banner Regiment! You remember my name, tomorrow's decisive battle, I will definitely kill several of your generals with my own hands!"

It turned out that the people in General Adric's personal guard battalion......

That's no wonder, the Byzantines have always been infighting, all harmed, the new Ruhr official took office, and he was the commander of the Rodria cavalry, a group of arrogant generals, the old man was naturally not convinced of him, and it is conceivable. Especially before, the people in Adric's personal guard camp, the general's descendants, and Ruhr's new appointment, naturally wanted to purge these old people, transfer the old people, and replace them with his own cronies... That makes sense.

Thinking of this, Manninger's heart suddenly became hot, and a thought suddenly came to him. Since they were squeezed out by the Ruhr, then these Byzantine troops in Wildfire Town should be the real elite veterans of the original Rhodrian cavalry regiment! How precious is this real elite? Now the other side only has the strength of a banner regiment, if he can surrender this elite for his own use......

This is the elite of the Rodria cavalry that even Hasting's Black Flag Army can compete head-on! Thinking of this, Manninger couldn't help but blush a little, and his voice became a little hoarse, and he said in a low voice: "You only have the strength of one banner regiment, but only two or three thousand horsemen, how can you resist my army! We Odin people respect heroes and heroes, since Ruhr's rabbit who can only run away refuses to reuse you." Why do you have to die for him? Why go back and tell me what I say, and if you will come and raise your army and surrender, I swear in the name of the chief of Bashak that I will ......."

"Phew!"

Char was furious, pointed the train at Manninger on his horse, and roared, "Bastard old thing! You dare to insult Rodhanya for riding! You remember, I, Rhoderia, only have my uncle who died in battle." There is no coward who surrenders!!My Fourth Banner Regiment, even if I fight to the last horse, will never surrender!" He took a deep breath, as if he had been greatly insulted, and glared at Manninger in annoyance and shouted: "For the sake of the two sides fighting, I am the messenger, Lao Tzu will not say what you said! Even though I was shattered and fought for my life. I also want you to splatter blood on the spot for five steps!"

Manninger was not angry, but he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart, looked at Char, and stared for a moment. finally waved his hand: "Since you are bent on seeking death and seeking benevolence, then speak with a sword on the battlefield!"

Char laughed, and his laughter was full of heroism: "Tomorrow at noon, ten miles north of Wildfire Town, in the wilderness under the mountain, a decisive battle!"

When he had finished speaking, he shouted and leaped on his horse. He walked towards the outside of the military formation, and the Odin warriors next to him received Manninger's signal, and let Char drive away without hindrance, the horse's hooves were hurrying, and the figure gradually disappeared into the night......

After Char left, Manninger's expression suddenly became solemn, he raised his head, and saw that his subordinates on the left and right were watching him, Manninger sighed: "It's a pity, such a hero." It cannot be used by us Odin.

The burly young Odin warrior next to him, who was about the same size as him, whispered: "Chief, although this Rodrian cavalry is strong, it is too rebellious and disrespectful, and it will be killed tomorrow! Besides, the Byzantines have always been like sheep, why should you ......

"You know what. Manninger shook his head: "If we want to strengthen our people, we must seek the help of heroes and heroes." Hmph, the Byzantines should not be underestimated, and among the Byzantines, there are also outstanding talents! Don't you see Hei Jin......

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that he was speechless, and immediately shut up, and crossed the young Odin warrior.

After a pause, Manninger shouted in a loud voice: "Order, stop advancing, and rest on the spot to rest and reorganize the army! Let the warriors drink water and food, and rest well for the night! Tomorrow at noon, the decisive battle against the Rhodrians will be won!"

The burly young warrior frowned: "Leader, do you really want to fight a decisive battle with them?" I see that the other party has only one flag regiment, no matter how powerful the Rhodrian cavalry is, what kind of waves can a flag regiment make......

"You know the servants!"

Manninger lowered his eyebrows and sneered: "It seems that it is the blessing of the great god Odin! Hmph! These Rhodrians are brave, but they are too stupid! Two or three thousand people, hum...... Although I have to say that we came by surprise from the south, we did not expect to have a strong Byzantine army stationed here, which was a miscalculation on our part! But fortunately, Turin blessed! Hehe, if there are other troops stationed here, then we will have some trouble. ”

"Huh?

Manninger sighed, looked at the burly warriors who had been there all these years, and said in a low voice: "You guy, I said on weekdays that you should use your brain more when you encounter problems, but you always can't listen to it!

The burly young warrior smiled awkwardly and whispered, "Father......"

"Bastard, don't call me father in the army!" Manninger raised his eyebrows, and then said slowly: "Although we have an army of 50,000, but we have come from a long journey, the warriors are tired, and they are not carrying heavy loads, everyone is traveling lightly and quickly, if the two or three thousand Byzantine defenders who suddenly appeared, hiding behind the walls of Wildfire Town, do not fight, and choose to defend to the death, do you think about it, what will be the result at that time?"

The burly young warrior smiled proudly: "The small town of Wildfire Town is only two or three thousand defenders, and if we dare to resist under our army, we will naturally break them to pieces!"

"Well, that's a good point," Manninger sneered, "But have you counted the time?" Wildfire Town is small, but it is well stocked, and there are two or three thousand defenders. If we defend it with all our might, even if our army attacks the city. But on the one hand, we don't have the baggage and siege equipment to carry it! If we want to rely on human life to pile it up. Naturally, it can be defeated. But it will take us about two or three days! But the rations that our warriors have brought with us are running out! If we delay for another two or three days, will you tell your warriors to drink the northwest wind? In case the battle goes badly; Let's let these guys stay in the city for a day or two. Hmph, God Odin blesses it, and then the brave but brainless Rhodrian cavalry stationed here are the brave, brainless! Since they are willing to go out of the city to fight, it is naturally the best! Although the Rhodrian cavalry is brave, after all, they only have one banner regiment! We can completely defeat them in the field, and then we can easily occupy Wildfire Town as our first supply base! There was a pause. Manninger suddenly looked a little regretful: "You have to remember, don't underestimate the Byzantines! Although most of the Byzantines are cowardly, their population is a Minbei of our Odins! Even if there is only one uncle among a hundred Byzantines, there are so many Byzantines, and there are many warriors among them! This guy named Sharpa just now is indeed a warrior! It's a pity that such a warrior can't be used by me!"

The young burly man also nodded: "This guy does have some guts, but the leader, our Bashak warriors are not weaker than him!

Manninger's eyes were quite pleased: "Very good! This is worthy of my son!"

Manninger's army then halted and took up its position at the southern exit of the Arbuckt corridor. The Odin warriors drank and fed, and then rested and recuperated in anticipation of tomorrow's "decisive battle".

And Manninger was also quite cunning, and in the middle of the night he gave another order, and gave the order to the 1,000 cavalry in the vanguard.

"Tomorrow morning. Then you will go around the main road, and go around the hill where we have agreed to fight the decisive battle, and bypass the battlefield on the right side. Then take Wildfire Town! When the branches and the Rhodrian cavalry decisively battled, their city was empty. And then you flank from behind, and then the Rhodrians will learn that Wildfire Town has missed, and they will naturally collapse on their backs!"

Seeing his subordinates take the order, Manninger was proud in his heart, and he also rested under the service of his entourage.

Just this one night. But there was always a faint strange feeling in his heart.

In my heart, I thought of the military envoy named "Sharpa" many times. I only felt that this young Byzantine warrior was extraordinary, mighty, and even more courageous, and I couldn't help but appreciate it in my heart." Don't think about it! Tomorrow's decisive battle, if you have the opportunity, you will be captured alive! Such a warrior, as long as he is generously treated, he will slowly always be obedient, but it really can't be done, I have so many daughters, just pick one to marry him.

It's a pity that although he thinks so now, after waiting for this day, Manninger thinks about it afterwards, and he is afraid that even his intestines will be repentant.

This night. Just when the army of Odin was resting, there was a scout in front of him, and on the slope of the hill ten miles north of Wildfire Town, a fire broke out, the mountains and forests were burning, and the fire could be seen more than ten miles awayManninger listened, but his heart was settled, and he smiled: "That is the practice of the Byzantines to clear the wilderness." Burned the trees and forests, afraid that we would be contemptuous when we fought a decisive battle. The soldiers were in the woods, and it was only for them to charge with cavalry, but they were only two or three thousand horsemen, and no matter how clever they were, how big a wave they could make! After resting for the night, Manninger ordered the whole army to march to the decisive battle.

The army marched for more than ten miles, and came to the foot of the mountain where the decisive battle was held, and saw that a large area of woods on the hillside had been burned, and there were still many places where the flames had not been extinguished, and they were all burned to a scorched earth.

The flat wilderness at the foot of the mountain here is indeed a good place for the army to fight in the wild.

Manninger sat on the horse and couldn't help laughing, and the laughter was quite proud.

One of his subordinates asked, "Why is the leader smiling so much?"

Manninger's face was pleasant: "I laugh at the stupidity of these Byzantines! This wilderness is flat and suitable for decisive battles, and it is just right for the cavalry to charge." But these Rhodrian cavalry miscalculated! Look at the terrain here! The north is high and the south is low, and it is a downhill slope from north to south! In the event of a decisive battle later, our army will attack from the top uphill to the bottom, but the enemy will run up from the bottom slope...... Whoever is easier and who is harder. Ridiculous at these Byzantine cavalry. You actually chose such a place to fight me, and you killed yourself!"

When the surrounding Odin leaders heard this, they all applauded and praised the leader's wisdom.

By the time the sun reached noon, it was already noon, but the wilderness looked south into an empty field, where was the shadow of the Bai Zhanting people?"

Manninger's heart became uneasy, and he suddenly remembered that he had ordered the forward cavalry to sneak around the battlefield and attack Wildfire Town, and immediately sent someone to ask about the progress.

It's been a long time. Fortunately, the forward cavalry came back to report.

"The gates of Wildfire Town were closed, and behind the city walls, we saw dust floating in the sky, and we thought that we had been fooled, and those Odin cavalry were still gathering in the city, and they did not dare to attack the city suddenly...... But after waiting for a long time, after the dust cleared. The gates of Wildfire Town were opened, but there was not a single enemy on horseback! After our warriors rushed into the city, there was not a single Byzantine enemy army in the city! Later, after arresting the people in Wildfire Town, I found out that someone had paid a lot of money last night to hire a group of merchants who trafficked in livestock in the town, and spent thousands of gold coins, as long as they got up early in the morning to drive cattle, sheep, mules, and horses, and ran back and forth on the streets of the town twenty times, and paid bribes to the officials at the city gate, so that they could delay the opening of the city gate until noon...... We had seen the dust in the city before, but it was not the enemy's cavalry at all, but the cattle and sheep running and alarming...... Manninger listened. His face changed wildly, and he shouted: "Then, what about the Rhodrian cavalry?!"

The forward of this return, the Odin reindeer cavalry, had a strange expression: "Chief, we have asked in the city, there has never been any Rhodrian cavalry in Wildfire Town......"

When Manninger heard this, his face turned purple and he shouted: "The Byzantines are cunning and despicable!

His heart stirred, and he almost vomited blood, and his body shook suddenly, and he almost fell off his horse.

The burly son next to him also had a distorted face: "Chief, I'll take the forward cavalry to chase after you......!"

"Chase a fart!" Manninger barely sat down, and said angrily: "One night and half a day, if the other party had been galloping on horseback, he would have already run back to the city of Denzel in Byzantine Moore!!

Manninger's face seemed to be oozing blood, he gritted his teeth, and finally roared: "Order! The striker shall immediately go south, and shall not stop! Enter the Byzantine border before dark!

His burly son immediately shouted, "I'm here!"

"I will lead the warriors to march south without stopping at once! I will leave you with 5,000 men, and you will immediately occupy the ...... of Wildfire Town."

"Father?" Morka was displeased, "I'd like to go south with my father!" what would I do in Wildfire...... Shut up!" Manninger's face turned hideous: "That guy must have been sent by the Byzantines last night to trick me and delay me! Although their plan has succeeded now, it can also be shown that the Byzantines are not prepared for war! That's why we have to come up with this kind of trick to stop me in order to delay time! Although we have been tricked, it also shows the weakness of the Byzantines! At this time, we have to seize time and speed south! !

"But I ......"

Manninger took a deep breath and tried to suppress his anger: "Your task is also heavy! We didn't carry a heavy stick, and last night when we were going to fight, in order to let the warriors have a full meal and recover their strength, we have already consumed almost the rations we have carried. I personally led my army south at once, but the rations were insufficient! I left you 5,000 men to keep you in Wildfire Town...... Collect supplies on the spot! Collect supplies on the spot! Collect them with all your might, and I will give them full authority! Whatever method you use, you must collect food supplies as soon as possible, and then bring them to me as quickly as possible! Do you see! If we are defeated in the battle in Byzantium, you will have supplies here. It's our only reliance!"

Manninger was fooled, but his final guess was not wrong.

At noon. Fuya's group, more than fifty horsemen, more than a hundred horses, one man and two horses, riding in turn, and hurrying through the starry night, had entered the territory of Moore County and ran through the wilderness at noon. After walking through a small river, the soil in front of me gradually turned green, and the terrain gradually flattened, and the hills and mountains were no longer visible.

But after running for about half an hour, I saw that I had entered the village north of the city of Denzel in Mooreshire. But what I saw along the way, suddenly made Char's face change wildly!! originally this way, there should be fertile fields everywhere on both sides of the road, but at this moment it is the end of spring, after spring ploughing, some short-season grain has barely reached the time of harvest, and the farmland should be full of fruit......

But at this moment, a group of people rode horses across the road, and as far as the eye could see, the farmland on both sides of the land had become unrecognizable, full of baranga! It can be seen that scattered soldiers dressed in the service of the local Byzantine garrison are driving horses in carts, carrying some materials that can be carried south, heading towards the city of Denzel.

Even in the villages we passed, the wells were blocked by rocks, and in some water sources, the carcasses of slaughtered animals were thrown into the water...... Quite a few farmers and villagers. Helping the old and the young, they hurriedly walked along the road towards the city of Denzel, and the garrisons along the way kept urging quickly......

Char saw that the originally rich and fertile Mor County had become like this, and couldn't help but roar:

"What's going on!!"

His eyes were dark, and he only felt sweetness in his mouth, shook it, and immediately fell off his horse............
