A turmoil slowly subsided in Augustin and Ian's hearts, and ordinary soldiers did not know about this qiē news, so they sent their guards to inform Xilin of the matter, and Augustin breathed a sigh of relief.

"I hope that Xilin and they won't encounter this, otherwise, I don't know what accidents will happen. Augustine sat on top of his war horse and whispered.

"Listen, sir!"

Hearing Ian shout, Augustine retracted his senses.

Augustine listened attentively, only listening to the thunderous sound in front of him, he was distracted just now, and he didn't pay attention, and the sound of the horse's hooves lingered in his ears, and he couldn't distinguish it carefully.

"It's the sound of water!"

Ian's face was full of surprise.

"Yes, yes. Augustin also continued: "I'm afraid there is the Chatria River ahead, and if you calculate the itinerary, we should be almost there." ”

After walking for several more miles, the sound of the water in front of me became more and more roaring, but the night was dark, and there was a lot of fog, so that I could not see where the sound of the water came from.

As the team continued to move forward, a breeze blew, and even the wind carried a heavy amount of water vapor, and after a few breaths, the fog seemed to suddenly disappear, and the fog in front of them became much clearer.

I saw a huge waterfall in front of everyone's eyes, although it was clear, but Augustine was still very far away from the waterfall.

At this moment, a team of scouts came up to them, "Report, sir!"

Augustine looked at the man at the head of the group, and only heard the person say, "My lord, a thousand kilometers ahead is the Tsaterian River, the water is slow three kilometers downstream of the Chakhan Falls, and there is a wooden bridge. What adults see now is Chakan Falls. ”

said. The scout pointed to the waterfall in the distance.

Look at the magnificent curtain of water. Augustine felt the slightest oppression, and Ian was full of joy.

"Twenty-seventh Corps, forward!"

Augustin shouted at the waterfall in the distance.

The surrounding guards suddenly cheered, and the heralds ran backwards, riding their horses and galloping, a distance of thousands of meters, in the blink of an eye. Chakan Waterfall comes into view.

It was early in the morning, and when the Second Banner Regiment reached the Tsateria, Augustine ordered a rest.

From Dostol to now, the soldiers have gone through two long marches, the first of which encountered heavy rain, and then ran to the vast grassland without rest, eating supplies of dry wheat cakes and jerky, and most of the soldiers' lips were chapped.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains depends on the water to draft the water, such a big river. The contents of the water made all the soldiers salivate.

"My lord, when are we going to cross the river? Ian was standing next to Augustine at the moment. Speak.

Looking at the soldiers who were fishing in the distance, Augustine smiled slightly, "Then we have to finish the feast." ”

The distance between the 2nd Banner Regiment and the headquarters of the 27th Corps is already nearly fifty kilometers, and if the river is crossed now, in case Claude bursts

However, if the attack is attacked, the Second Banner Regiment may be dealt a fatal blow, and resting by the river first can not only recover well, but also adjust to the best condition, and can also wait for the troops and horses of the headquarters, which can be said to be of great benefit.

"That'...... My lord, since we have to wait for Lord Xilin, why are we in a hurry in the middle of the night? Ian wondered, but Augustine shook his head slightly and smiled without answering.

"Adult ......"

Before Ian could say anything more, Augustin had turned and walked towards the nearest group of guards, "Let's go, Lord Ian, how about we go and taste the fish in this river." ”

As he spoke, he greeted the guards over there.

The sound of the waterfall was like the drums of the army, and the soldiers began to fall asleep to the melody of the heavens and the earth, and for the two days they marched at night and rested during the day, so that the soldiers soon fell asleep.

It was just after noon when Augustine woke up and looked around, although he saw some soldiers chatting in whispers, most of them were still asleep.

Seeing Arcanistin get up, a guard in the distance walked up quickly.

"Your Excellency!"

"Well, are you resting today?" Augustine said casually to the guard.

"My lord, I got up at noon. ”

Hearing what the guard said, Augustin nodded slightly, looked at a few dark clouds in the sky, and had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Augustine didn't know why, he happened to be asleep just now, and suddenly woke up with a feeling of tightness in his chest, and the dark clouds in the sky sometimes blocked the sun, and the surroundings seemed very quiet except for the sound of water.

Walking slowly to the river, Augustin looked at the rushing water under the waterfall and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you worried about something?" Ian was not far from Augustin when he was resting, and Augustin was just a satellite, and Ian had already woken up, but he didn't get up.

Turning his head to look at Ian, in fact, Augustine was indeed a little nervous, the first battle after the reconstruction of the 27th Corps, it was false to say that he was not nervous.

"Ian, when I cross the river, I'll take the guards and scouts over first, and the Second Banner Regiment will be on standby. Augustine said lightly, but there seemed to be an irresistible majesty in his words.

"My lord, the weather is also unstable during this time, and the swamps in Hexi may be even more dangerous. This time Ian didn't object, but expressed Augustine's biggest concern.

War horses are in the swamp, and there is only one way to die!

Listening to the sound of the waterfall, the two talked for a while, and after half an hour, Augustine's herald woke up every warrior lying on the grass.

While Augustine was worried about the weather, Claude was looking at the same sky, and there was also a man beside him—Harold.

After destroying the cavalry banner regiment of the 16th Corps, they soon found the traces of the 27th Corps, for Claude, this was an opportunity given to him by God, so he temporarily changed his original plan and led the 1st Banner Regiment led by Harold to the west.

Even the traces found by Augustin were deliberately done by Claude, grazing the edge of the 27th Corps garrison. Claude hurried to the Chatria River. Prepare to sit on the west bank of the river and wait for the 27th Corps to take the bait.

And Claude's messenger. At the same time, they also headed in the direction of the Miles Corps.

In fact, Augustin's Second Banner Regiment was not slow, but Claude had a heart first, and the day before they arrived in Endor, Claude had already crossed the Chatria River.

After a day's rest, by dawn the next day, Claude had received his eyeliner in return.

"It's coming so fast......," Claude pondered for a moment, then said to Harold beside him, "Harold." What do you think we should do? ”

The two faced each other sideways, Harold smiled slightly, he naturally understood Claude's temper, and immediately said: "General, I'm afraid that the adults have already thought of a way to deal with it." ”

"Haha...... It's still Brother Harold, and he really knows my heart. Claude said loudly, "I do have a way to deal with it for a long time, but my ideas are still a little immature, and perhaps, there will be something to be desired." ”

"Oh?" Harold furrowed. "Tell me, my lord. ”

Claude was usually very close to Harold, and Harold was also a man of affection and righteousness. That's why he never left the Claude Corps.

Seeing Harold asking, Claude turned to the side slightly, and said as he walked: "I originally thought that a huge encirclement would be formed in Andus, and those imperial Yankees would be annihilated in one fell swoop, but since the twenty-seventh corps came, I thought of a way to appear again, alas...... It is worthy of an elite division, and it moves so quickly. ”

Claude whispered in front of him, and Harold followed behind him, not saying a word.

Looking back, Claude continued: "The Twenty-seventh Corps is their elite, and I think that if we can defeat this force in one fell swoop, our operation in Andus will be easy. ”

"So the adults want to lure them away. Harold then spoke.

"Not bad...... Claude said coldly, "only in this way can we make no effort, our forces are scattered, and we will definitely not be the opponent of the 27th Corps, and the other side is cavalry, as long as we miss a single blow, then there will be endless troubles." ”

Claude was constantly analyzing the current situation, as if everything was under his control.

In this way, Claude does not use himself as bait, but turns around and becomes a successful hunter.

Lance, the flag officer of the Second Banner Regiment of the Claude Corps, had already received Claude's order at this time.

Hunters, everyone wants to be a hunter, but the current hunter is still the 27th Corps for the time being.

In front of the wooden bridge not far from Chatria Falls, Augustin and a dozen guards and two groups of scouts were about to cross the river, and on the other side were Ian and all the soldiers of the Second Banner Regiment.

"Be careful, I'll wait here for your orders!"

Before Ian could finish speaking, Augustin rode towards the wooden bridge, his guards following closely behind.

Although the river was very wide, the wooden bridge could accommodate three or four horses walking side by side, so it didn't take long for Augustin and the others to disappear from everyone's sight.

On the other side of the bridge, Ian's brow furrowed, anxiously awaiting news from the other side.

About two quarters of an hour later, a soldier suddenly pointed to two clouds of smoke in the air on the opposite side and shouted: "Look, everyone, it's smoke, it's two smoke!"

This was an agreement between Augustin and them, and the two smokes meant that they were safe within twenty miles, and Ian saw the thick smoke for the first time, and it was artificially cast at a glance.

"The headquarters of the Second Banner Regiment, prepare to cross the river!"

In Augustine's absence, Ian naturally became the temporary supreme commander, and when he heard Ian's order, the soldiers of each battalion who were originally ready to go began to cross the river in accordance with the predetermined sequence.

Two streaks of smoke slowly rose, but only for a moment, Augustine ordered the smoke to be covered with earth.

"Fortunately, there is no wind now, otherwise it would have been a lot of trouble. Augustin looked at the mound of smoke that was still emitting a trace of smoke, and couldn't help but speak.

"See, Harold, they're coming, but they shouldn't be all the men and horses of the 27th Corps, but they're guests, and we're going to entertain them well. ”

Claude and Harold also saw the two puffs of smoke, and although they didn't understand what they meant, it was clear that they were a signal.

"Brother Harold, it seems that I still have to trouble my brother again. Claude withdrew his gaze from afar, and then said to Harold beside him.

"Hehe, what the adults say, serve the adults. It's Harold's duty. Harold said with a smile.

"It's not just trouble. Your Excellency still wants ......," Claude did not say.

The meaning of these words. Harold naturally understood, "Don't worry, my lord, Harold knows it." ”

The headquarters of the Second Banner Regiment made peace with Augustine, and encamped three miles from the riverbank, and on the march each man ate only half a piece of jerky, and at this time all took out the jerky, ready to replenish it.

It was too early, and Augustin and Ian went out to observe the terrain themselves. in order to respond to a variety of situations.

"It seems that the situation here is worse than we thought. ”

Looking at the vast area of swamp in front of him, Ian said in amazement.

When they were in Odo, they had seen heavy snow and endless grasslands, but this endless swamp was much more dangerous than the deep snow.

It stands to reason that there should not be a swamp here, and many scholars in the empire have studied it, and finally have to attribute the cause to the head of Mount Onnas.

Augustin and Ian are riding their horses on a high ground. The swamp in the distance is boundless, and to the south of the swamp. It's a large forest, and looking at the appearance of the forest, it doesn't seem to be a safe place.

In addition, on the west side of almost the entire Chatria River, it extends to the vast area of Onnas. From time to time, a forest appeared between the rolling hills, and the forests were constantly crossed by swamps, so to speak, if you can avoid these dangerous places in such a place, it is half the victory.

"Well...... Fortunately, our 27th Corps did not all arrive here, otherwise it would not be easy to act. Ian continued Augustin's words.

However, it is also true that such terrain is indeed not suitable for large-scale corps operations.

"That's right, but against an old fox like Claude, no one can figure out his mentality. Augustine narrowed his eyes slightly as he said this.

"My lord, but this time we can fight with each other, and it is just right to play our majesty, hahaha......" Ian's laughter seemed to alarm the birds in the swamp, and suddenly two strange cries were heard, and the weeds shook slightly a few times, and then stopped moving.

From time to time, a huge bubble appeared on the surface of the swamp, and as the bubble burst, a dark cloud of smoke overflowed, and gradually, the smoke disappeared over the swamp.

"It seems that most of the smell here is coming from these blisters. Augustine didn't have the slightest affection for the blisters, and continued, "Let's go, Ian, let's go back and get some sleep now, and I hope the boys of Droanne don't rush to death." ”

"Haha, drive!"

The two rode back to the camp, it was getting late, and the camps began to light bonfires, and all the soldiers were also relaxing.

Augustine's tent.

"Your Excellency!"

Augustine was cultivating on the side of the tent, and when he heard the sound outside the tent, he stopped his movements, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said, "Come in!"

Immediately, Alan entered through the tent.

"Allen, tonight is the first night we are stationed in Hexi, I want you to be in charge of guarding, is there a problem?" Allen is Xilin's cronies, although he was sent by Xilin to Augustine, but for Allen, Augustine knows how to deal with relationships very well.

"Your Excellency expects the other party to come and attack at night?"

"I can't tell. Augustin stood up, "As for Claude, this is the first time I've fought with him, so it's better to be careful. ”

"My subordinates must do their best. Alan bowed and said.

Thousands of men and horses, divided into three camps, into a horn momentum, one attack, the other two can also react quickly, so as not to mess up, so that the enemy can take advantage of it.

When the night opened, the stars in the sky dimmed, and the waves on the river surface became much dimmer, which seemed a little weird.

To the southwest of the garrison of the Second Banner Regiment, a cavalry was hurrying forward.

Harold personally led 500 cavalry to 'visit the 27th Corps at night', and while the night was falling, they reached five miles of the 27th Corps without a sound.

"Woo......"

The thick and desolate horn reverberated throughout the heavens and the earth, and before the sound of the horn had disappeared, Harold had entered another kilometer distance.

Although the other party has discovered their traces, but Harold has not the slightest intention of stopping, according to common sense, the night attack is silent, cutting the enemy into a dream, once the track is revealed, it will lose the meaning of the raid, but Harold seems to have other purposes.

Hearing the sound of the horn, the battalions of the 27th Corps responded urgently, although many people had a short military life, but they were still a little overwhelmed when fighting.

At a time when many soldiers were at a loss, the commanders of the battalions began to play a role, and at that time in Dostol, Diner also had a lesson in their training for night raids, and now that each soldier had a backbone, the situation did not continue to get out of control.

The mental tension for many days is unavoidable.

Without any hesitation, Harold's ranks did not even shout, like an arrow in the shadows, straight into the camp of the 27th Corps.

"Ah......h

For a while, there were several screams, and more than 500 cavalry detachments entered the camp, counting three camps, and each camp was only a thousand people, how could they stop the enemy army that came without a trace.

Augustine had already woken up, sword in hand, and the guards on duty outside the tent were waiting, and they did not go to battle the enemy.

Looking up, Augustine nodded secretly, or experienced soldiers know how to do it, if it is a newcomer, how can it be so calm.

A detachment of men and horses cannot stop the enemy's attack, and their mission is only to protect the personal safety of the commander.

"Let's go!"

With a wave of Augustin's sword, the guards behind him followed Augustine closely and headed towards the invading enemy.

After a short time, most of the soldiers of the Second Banner Regiment returned to the state they were in during training, and at this moment, Harold had already led his troops into the camp three times, nearly 100 people were killed, and hundreds were injured. (To be continued......)
