Chapter 361: Cunning Reinhardt
Outside the city of Denzel, there was a plain land as far as the eye could see, and even some of the surrounding groves and other places had been cut down and burned down in the war.
And in the afternoon, the afterglow of the sun was pouring down from the west, and there was still a remnant of summer heat, and the earth had already become unusually dry after a day of exposure.
Standing on the city wall and looking into the distance, a yellow dust rose in the distance, and then there was a black and oppressive horse team, mighty, with horses' hooves flying, splashing a large area of earth mist.
The loud sound of the military horn made the soldiers on the city defense shake one after another, the city gate had been closed, and long before the cavalry came, all the idle people had been emptied under the city gate.
At this time, the thousands of cavalry in the distance finally galloped and got closer, so that the people on the city wall could see the appearance of such a cavalry, and they couldn't help but be even more shocked!
The world-famous Rhodria cavalry...... Is...... Is that so?
Looking at the cavalry in the distance, many of them can no longer be regarded as standard "cavalry".
The dress of this team was extremely mixed, most of them were wearing all kinds of clothing, some were wearing tight short coats, some were wearing rebel uniforms, some were wearing tattered short clothes, and some were even naked, but they showed the bandages wrapped everywhere on their bodies, and there were faint blood stains under the bandages! The most outrageous thing was that there were still people wearing the tattered iron armor of the Odin.
As for their mounts, they were even more chaotic, and the ones that were slightly more agitated were the officers who were running at the front, surrounded by the people around them, riding horses under their crotches, although they looked emaciated, but they were still real war horses.
But the rest of the cavalry rode in a mess, almost a third of them rode mules, and some of them didn't even have enough mules, so they had to ride two horses together, and the most outrageous thing was that there were still some people in the team who rode reindeer! The reindeer of the Odin people! I don't know where these guys came from.
As for their weapons, they are even more unbearable.
Only a handful of them still have sabers or riding spears or the like. Most of them were holding all sorts of unimaginable gadgets in their hands, some with axes, some with hammers and the kind used in the blacksmith shop, and some really had no weapons, but they didn't know where to find kitchen knives, tied to the end of the stick with ropes. Some of them can't even fight with iron weapons, so they simply carry a sharpened wooden stick!
Such a group of people, if you just look at their outfits, then anyone would immediately conclude that this is a rabble...... Just looking at the equipment, they are probably not even as good as horse thieves walking on the wildfire field.
...... The rapid sound of the military horn and a small group of cavalry rushing to the front of the team rushed directly to a place less than a stone's throw away from the city before stopping the horse's hooves, with the sound of the horn, it was the most familiar and legendary Rhodria military horn in the emperor's ** team.
After the squad in front of them stopped, one of the cavalrymen at the front suddenly untied a big backpack behind him immediately, opened it layer by layer, and vigorously opened a piece of cloth that was tightly breaded inside!
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, this is exactly a military flag! The eagle's head on the flag is looking forward to life!
This military flag has already been a little worn, and even smoked some smoke-colored appearance, and many places have even been torn, but this cavalryman straightened his waist on horseback, and there was no flagpole, so he let his body rush into a flagpole, straighten his spine hard, and hold this flag high above the country's head!
"Rodria Rodria Forward!! Forward!!
The flag suddenly fluttered at the front of the procession, and with that majestic shout, suddenly, this team, which seemed to be inferior to even the refugees, suddenly glowed with incomparable brilliance in everyone's eyes! As if everyone's body had an electric current passing through, countless people immediately raised all kinds of weapons in their hands, even if they were seriously injured, they also straightened their bandaged bodies, obviously their faces were distorted with pain, but they still shouted with a fanatical face!
With this majestic roar, thousands of people roared in unison, the sound suddenly seemed to shake the clouds in the sky away, looking at the thousands of embarrassed cavalry, suddenly burst out like a fierce lion group of killing aura, many new recruits on the city wall who had not been in the army for a long time, couldn't help but hold the sword hand is a little trembling.
This s,1, this city is no longer thousands of embarrassed remnants, but suddenly becomes a group of brave and invincible Predators!
After this shout, the head rushed out of the queue and several horses, all of them were the commanders of the cavalry teams, these officers stood in front of their own queue, and at the same time they all raised their right arms, and suddenly, the roar that shook the sky and dispersed the clouds just now was as if it had been abruptly cut off by an invisible pair of scissors!
In an instant, there was silence over the wilderness, a terrible silence!
The eyes of thousands of cavalry stared at the gates of Denzel City, and there was not the slightest tiredness in their eyes, only a kind of fortitude that seemed to be indelible!
This black oppressive team was so quietly lined up outside the city, although they knew that it was a friendly army, but the soldiers in the city felt an indescribable sense of oppression in their hearts for no reason. It was as if the evil aura emitted by the thousands of cavalry under the city stabbed people's eyes and made people dare not look at them directly!
At this time, in the open gate of Denzel City, a group of cavalry slowly ran out, this team of cavalry was well-armored, the horses were strong, and the knights on the horses were also strong, which was the cavalry team adapted from the group of horse thieves in Nene.
Immediately, a black horse slowly ran out of the city gate, and immediately a sturdy and upright young man, with black hair, the contours of his face protruded, the lines were clear, and there was a faint hint of evil, it was Char Thunder!
Char rode out slowly, but raised his right arm to stop the guards around him who wanted to follow him.
Char rode alone and slowly ran towards the Rhodrian cavalry in front.
He was very restrained, and after getting a little closer, he slowed down the horses, and controlled the horses, and made a slight detour, approaching the other party's queue from the side.
This move suddenly made the face of the cavalry captain holding the military flag in the squad of the Rhodria cavalry suddenly become closer.
Char rode his horse on the open space between the two sides, deliberately made a circle, and slowly ran to the front of the opponent's team from the side, and then he looked at the cavalry captain holding the military flag, and was suddenly stunned.
"Yes...... Is that you?" Char's F6 Qi immediately became a little more respectful, and he looked a little fluctuating.
The cavalry captain looked quite old, and his left arm was wrapped in a thick bandage, and he was very red. The eyes of the two met, and a smile appeared on the face of the cavalry captain: "Lord Char, I can't imagine that I will be alive to see you this day."
Char nodded...... His gesture was respectful.
Because, he really recognized the captain of the Rhoderian cavalry in front of him!
He had just entered the Rhodrian cavalry, and the first time he traveled with the scouts was led by the officer in front of him......! It was also on that day, watching the silent eyes of the cavalry captain bury his son with his own hands, that Char understood the cruelty of war for the first time.
For the person in front of him, Char respects him from the bottom of his heart.
He turned over and dismounted, but the cavalry captain was still sitting on his horse, just sitting and watching Char step by step in front of him, this action seemed a little rude, but Char and he both looked solemn.
Finally, Char walked up to him, raised his hands high, and whispered, "Take the flag!"
“...... Please receive the flag. The old cavalry captain breathed a sigh of relief and looked at it one by one, this young upstart who had left the Rhodrian cavalry, but he had not forgotten the military regulations of the Rhodrian cavalry.
Just now, Char deliberately rode his horse around the front of the cavalry queue, and ran over from the side, which is an iron law among the Rhodrian cavalry!
After the cavalry is finished, anyone who dares to charge head-on will be killed!!
Although it was not the time to fight, Char still obeyed this iron law of the Rhodrian cavalry.
And in the end, he took the initiative to dismount first, and then raised his hands above his head to receive the military flag, which also reflected the tradition of the Rhodrian cavalry.
Taking the general's flag with both hands, Char immediately turned around and took a spear from his horse, raised the general's flag high, and stuck it on the ground hard, and then he slammed his chest with his hand, and roared out loudly: "Rodria!"
Thousands of voices immediately responded in unison: "Onward, forward!!forward!!
"It seems that this Char-sama is a smart man. ”
Reinhardt, who was in the queue, suddenly smiled in a low voice, and there was a bit of satisfaction in his eyes: "As soon as I came into contact, I knew that I wanted to win people's hearts." Nice, nice......"
Philip looked at the young man, Reinhardt's face was really a little frightening, like a blank piece of paper, Philip knew that the young man had several very serious injuries on his body, and he couldn't imagine how strong the young man's perseverance was to support it. At least Philip knew he couldn't.
"Alright, it's time for us to play. ”
Reinhardt smiled lightly, then straightened his face, kicked the horse's belly, and slowly rode out of the ranks, and the cavalry on both sides immediately made a way for him to come out.
Philip also rode behind Reinhardt, and the two rode out of the group and came to Char.
Reinhardt still did not dismount, but sat on his horse, raised his arms and made a flat-chested salute, and said loudly word by word: "Reinhardt, the commander of the personal guard battalion of the 13th Corps of Reeds, reports to you, Your Excellency! The headquarters set out from Osgilia, and the original attack was 4,400 men, but the actual number was 3,967. My department has been ordered to come under your command to listen to the order, please take the order!"
After speaking, Reinhardt nodded, and then turned over and dismounted, and when the young man dismounted, he was obviously a little staggering, he was slashed in the thigh, and he almost went lame, but he gritted his teeth to support it, and took out the forged military appointment order from his arms, as well as the documents.
"This is an order issued by the Emperor ** Ministry and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please take over. Reinhardt looked at Char's eyes one by one, this frail young man, but at this moment, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, as if he wanted to see through Char.
In the face of this sword-like look, Char seemed to turn a blind eye, but just stretched out his hand and solemnly concluded those documents and orders, then looked at Reinhardt, and said loudly: "According to the order! I will officially take over your troops! Now, let everyone be relieved of the fighting state." Carry out the order, Mr. Reinhardt. ”
"Yes. Reinhardt then turned around and raised his withered hand.
Finally, with the lifting of the combat state, the formidable murderous aura exuded by the whole army finally dissipated.
Char looked at Reinhardt and smiled, "You are Ruhr's pro-barracks officer? ”
Reinhardt seemed to smile reluctantly, but because his body couldn't support it:
"I ...... It was a newly appointed ...... by General Ruhr."
Char let out an "um", and at this time, he finally turned his head and glanced at Philip, who had been standing next to him with his hands tied.
After all, Philip was a little weak-hearted, and his eyes didn't dare to make contact with Char, but he just shook it slightly, and avoided Char's gaze.
Char, as if on purpose, didn't look at Philip much, just nodded at him quietly.
The whole army was stationed in the barracks outside the city.
After these thousands of cavalry were stationed, Char did not return to the city, but personally reorganized the tired army in the military camp outside the city.
Soon Green also came out of the city, bringing dozens of improvised houses of various kinds, food, water, and medicinal herbs.
Char seemed to be calm, but where did he command his own people to settle the Minqian cavalry, and organized people to find a doctor to treat the wounded soldiers.
What's more, after all, he was from the Rhodría cavalry, and there were quite a few people in this army that he knew or saw before. Immediately, the old men of the Rhodrian cavalry, such as Sharpa and Cato, rushed over, and everyone helped the army settle down in a chaotic manner, until the sun had completely set and the sky and the earth were dark.
Seeing that the torches were everywhere in the camp, although it was in full swing, but under the auspices of Cato and others, everything was going on in an orderly manner, Char was relieved, looked at Philip, who had been following him carefully, and said lightly: "Go in and talk." ”
Philip's face couldn't help but twitch, at this time...... He knew it was time to "talk."
Char's face seemed to have a very quiet expression, but it was a little strange and scary.
The barracks tent in this station was naturally relatively simple, Char and Philip walked in, and there was actually Philip who had been following him. This guy seemed to be pale and would faint at any moment, but he kept gritting his teeth and insisting on settling the soldiers with Char.
Char looked at this young man and always felt a little strange, and then he raised his hand and asked his attendants to surround the big tent and prevent idle people from approaching.
"Tell me what's going on. ”
Char's tone suddenly became terrifyingly solemn!
Philip swallowed his saliva and smiled bitterly: "My lord...... The Order of Appointment for you is one r, eleven one"
"I haven't seen it yet. Char patted his chest, and the thing was placed in his clothes, but then his face and eyes became strange: "I don't need to look at it, I know that this thing must be a forgery." ”
"Uhh
"It's simple. Char frowned tightly: "Send the Rodria cavalry to me...... Unless the crown prince has a bad brain. ”
His face suddenly became very gloomy and gloomy, staring at the two people in front of him: "I don't have anything else on my mind now! I just want to know one thing right away!"
What;!"
"What the hell is wrong with the Rhodria cavalry!" Char squinted his eyes, but he could see that he was very emotional: "You look like you have just gone through a long war for a hundred years, and you thousands of people actually came here...... Well, what about the main forces of the Rhodrian cavalry?
What the hell is going on to make you so embarrassed?!"
As he spoke, Char glared at Philip fiercely: "And you! I told you to go to Osgilia! Why did you come back so quickly? I counted the days, you should be at least ten days late! Unless...... You didn't reach Osgilia at all, but halfway there...... What's going on, right?!"
Philip shuddered, and the corners of his mouth tugged, "Uh, sir...... Among those things for you, there is a personal letter from General Ruhr......"
"Hmph!" Char sneered: "I don't know how deep that guy Ruhr has? That fat man is so lazy that he has always written letters by his personal cronies and guards, and he dictates them himself." And he himself had to write those few words crookedly, like a dog gnawing on them, and Lao Tzu could write them with his left hand! If Ruhr had the heart to write a letter by himself when there was a war situation all around him, he would not have been Ruhr. ”
Philip's face was just scornful.
At this time, he pinned all his expectations on Reinhardt, a bold young man, who was his mastermind from beginning to end.
Looking at Philip's eyes asking for help, Reinhardt smiled slightly, and nodded at Char with a confident look, "My lord, this is how things are."
Bang!!
While Philip waited expectantly for Reinhardt to speak, the young officer had only said the first sentence, but suddenly he fell backwards and fell headlong to the ground, and then closed his eyes tightly......
He, he ...... This guy, this kind of critical time, it's time for him to come forward and explain......
He actually ............
Actually fainted?!
