Chapter 175: Western Expedition (5)
Gal is not stupid enough to enter Belgre directly, God knows how many men and horses there are in Andorra, although it is more than 20 kilometers away from Belgri, but this is not too far, the infantry will be surrounded in less than two hours on a rapid march, if you add some cavalry, then Gal can stay in Belgree for supper!
Now, Gal was standing in front of the city gate, the drawbridge was not lowered, and he only brought Lei Wei and a dozen ordinary soldiers with him.
Parrick stopped in the distance with the rest of his group, but they did not dismount.
In June, the weather is changeable, the sun was very bright when we set out in the morning, but now it is obscured by a large dark cloud, and the wind comes from Droiana, yes, June in the Koran, and it happens to blow southwest at this time.
The mysterious and vast Sea of Guth contains too many things that people don't understand, including the vanished Lantis civilization!
But these are not the business of Bergeri, the land of Droiana absorbs all the smell of the wind, but the abundant water vapor will fall down on the land of Andus, and nourish the fertile pastures, Tucona, first and foremost!
"My lord, it seems that the weather is going to change, and if we stay outside the city, we will probably get rainy. Lei Wei on the side spoke.
Gal was looking up at the city, and when he heard Lei Wei's words, he turned his head slightly, "It's okay to be drenched, I just hope that the grass here can seep rainwater, otherwise we will be unlucky." ”
As he spoke, a voice sounded from above the city wall, "Your Excellency, I am Solu, the garrison officer of this Belgre, may I ask which unit your Excellency is from." ”
"Lord Soru. I am a staff officer of the Andus Freedom Banner Regiment. He who has come to conquer the army of Droiana. Gal replied loudly.
But as soon as he finished. Soru's head shrank back from the recess of the battlement, and there was no sound on the walls.
Seeing this scene, Lei Wei's face suddenly showed a wave of anger: "Hmph, let's come here to deal with Adonis, it's just that he doesn't line up to welcome him, and he doesn't even open the city gate, it's good this time." Not even a single one has appeared, and it looks like we're going to get drenched in the rain. ”
Just as Lei Wei was complaining under the city, Solu's voice sounded above the city wall at the same time, but this voice was extremely low, "You go and inform everyone to get ready for battle, the people below say that they are from the Freedom Banner Regiment, but I have never heard of such a force. ”
After speaking, he rubbed his chin with one hand, looked out at the protrusion of the guò battlement, and thought to himself: Just a few troops. You want to come and hit me with the idea of Belgree City, too, huh. It's not so easy to trick me into opening the gates.
After a while, Solu's head popped up again, "Lord Staff, my Belgre City is really small, I'm afraid I can't accommodate too many soldiers and horses, if the adults really want to enter the city to discuss things, please leave the adults' guards outside the city, anyway, the city is extremely safe, and it will not hurt the adults." ”
When Lei Wei heard this, he was immediately angry, and before Gar could reply to the city, he said to Garr: "My lord, what do you have to say to him, let's leave this hellish place, and when Lord Jesse arrives, see what else he has to say." ”
The movements of Lei Wei and Gal under the city, Soru can see it clearly, although he can't hear what Lei Wei is saying, but his face still slowly shows a gloomy smile, "Discuss, discuss, as long as you dare to come in, I will let you have no return." ”
The other party does not open the city gate, which really proves that Bergeri is not occupied by the enemy, if it is easy to open the city gate, then there is a ghost!
Seeing that Gal didn't speak, Lei Wei wanted to say something: "My lord......"
Gar waved his left hand, and immediately interrupted Lei Wei's voice, "He won't let us in, that's fine, in case of any accidents, both sides can also take care of it." ”
"Why, they don't believe in our identity at all. Lei Wei glanced at the high city wall and spoke.
"Don't worry, they'll believe it, I don't know what happened now, if our scouts can contact Jesse-sama, then we'll be in a better place. Gar didn't care about Lei Wei's words, and said to himself.
The two did not continue to stay under the city of Belgre, but reunited with the group of men and horses with a dozen or so soldiers, and they now needed to go to a high ground, and depending on the current weather, there was a real possibility of heavy rain.
Gal began to leave with a large number of cavalry, but Solu on the wall of Belgre snorted lightly and said in a low voice: "That is, there are few soldiers in my city, if the soldiers are strong and strong, it is not so easy to leave!"
When the officer on the side heard this, he said in a loud voice: "Your Excellency is wise, your Excellency is really tall, it is so easy to see through their tricks, fortunately, it is the adult who guards this city, so that it can be preserved for a long time." ”
Hearing such a loud sycophant, even Solu, who has always been calm, couldn't help but flutter
But in a short time, a signal eagle landed at the head of the city.
The officer looked at Solu, whose face was blue, and didn't know what was going on, so he asked, "My lord?"
I saw that Solu was holding a letter in his hand, his right hand trembling slightly, and his blue face was blue, so he knew that something was wrong without asking.
"My lord?" the officer shouted in a low voice when he saw that Soru was not responding.
However, his shout woke up Solu completely, only to see Solu glance at the officer next to him, and then hit the officer in the face with his right hand, and said: "What a wisdom, quickly send someone to contact the cavalry just now, quickly!"
The officer was stunned for a moment, and did not react at first, until a few seconds later, he nodded his head again and again, and ran towards the staircase leading to the city not far away.
Soru glanced at the wrinkled letter in his hand again, and then slowly looked into the distance.
As far as the eye could see, Gal and his two battalions of soldiers were anchored on a wide plateau, a place not uncommon in Tuconaye.
"My lord, are we camping here?" said Lei Wei, looking around, "Well, it's not bad, the field of vision is quite wide." ”
"Only by having a broad field of vision can we detect the enemy situation in advance. Parik's voice rang out behind Ray Guard.
Lei Weiwei turned to the side and said, "Only by having a wide field of vision can you better watch the scenery at night!"
Ignoring Lei Wei's eyes, Parik said to Garr: "My lord, there are about 20,000 troops stationed in Andorra, but no cavalry has been found, so the possibility of hiding is not ruled out. ”
"En......" Gal nodded, "order the warriors to set up camp, we'd better not move first now, and see what the enemy has planned." ”
"Yes, sir!" Parik bowed slightly, and walked away.
Seeing Parrick like this, Lei Wei pouted: "What kind of person, he doesn't know life at all." ”
As soon as the words fell, Gal continued: "Okay, Lei Wei, it seems that you know how to live very well, so you can enjoy the night today, and keep your eyes open, especially in the south of ours, if you let go of a mosquito tonight, I will ask you!"
"Yes, my lord!" Lei Wei said loudly with a shocked expression.
Perhaps because of the fast rain, it seemed that it was dark earlier, and Gal's men had already set up their tents at this moment, and everyone knew that the rain tonight should not be too light.
The clouds are thick, and between the layers of dark clouds, it seems that some of the afterglow of the sun can be revealed, and sometimes a few lightning flashes in the sky, reflecting the whole grassland as if it were day, but the heavy rain is still brewing.
At this moment, in the direction of Zar County, there were countless cavalry, taking advantage of the night that was about to fall, and the black shadows were constantly galloping in the grassland, and a sudden lightning bolt would make their armor suddenly reflect the light.
A voice suddenly sounded on the first few horses, "My lord, it's about to rain, let's set up camp quickly." ”
"I know, damn it!" the leader cursed, and the man stopped talking at first.
Gabriel is the flag bearer of this large group of men, and the cavalry behind him is the cavalry flag regiment belonging to the Claude Corps!
He was originally ordered to be in the western part of Char County with the Third Banner Regiment of the Claude Corps, but because of the two teams of scouts sent by Gal, he was recruited, in fact, even if he didn't come out, Gal couldn't receive a reply from the scouts, and he would still know that there was an ambush there.
According to Gabriel's meaning, the people have been killed anyway, and the hiding place has been exposed, so it is better to eat the army that provoked him, so that he may get some battle merit.
"Hmph...... Claude is a proud fellow, he left me in the west, and he himself ran away to the Imperial Territory, and he thought that with his 20,000 men and horses, he could take down Osvia?
Thinking to himself, Gabriel ordered the troops to stop advancing, and as cavalry, it was not advantageous to advance in the rain.
In fact, Gabriel is not a greedy person, but when it is also scored, Claude is usually dissatisfied with him, after all, the other party is a red man in front of the Grand Duke, but now he actually sent him to ambush, with more than 2,000 cavalry ambush, thanks to him Claude can figure it out.
Recalling his more than 20 years of military career, in the end, he actually messed around in the hands of a hairy boy, the more Gabriel thought about it, the more he felt that he was a coward, almost forty years old, he was still just a flag officer of the flag regiment, or he would have no chance to do it in the future if he didn't get more meritorious deeds as soon as possible.
Looking at the lightning in the sky that was getting denser and denser, Gabriel sighed slightly, then turned over and jumped off his warhorse.
"Boom!" followed by a huge lightning bolt, a deafening thunderclap followed, and gradually, the dark clouds in the sky rolled more violently, and a whirlwind blew on the grassland.
Before the outbreak of the Great War, the Storm will wash the battlefield clean! (To be continued......
