The sound of water murmuring in a mountain stream makes the forest seem more peaceful
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the tips of the trees, dragging a long tail
Whether it's a homing bird or a foraging beast, they are far away from this once-peaceful valley
Because the empty canyon in the past is now full of hustle and bustle, this is the temporary location of the fat man
The light cavalry untied the heavy stirrups from the horse's back, so that the horse could occasionally bow their heads and drink the flowing stream water leisurely, and took out all kinds of weapons and equipment from the weapon trough in the crotch of the war horse one by one, and carefully placed them on the ground.
Gently wipe the bright blade with a cotton cloth moistened with stream water, and the cautious expression on his face is like admiring his most beloved woman,
"A cavalryman who does not care for his weapons and horses is not a good cavalryman"
These were the words that Chief Trainer Caesar Solon had on his lips the most when he was training this new light cavalry
The Marquis of Dustan, the commander of the legion, who came to review it later, made a good addition to this sentence
"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a person who doesn't cherish weapons is not even a soldier! If you want to establish a great martial honor, you can't talk about it without a weapon at hand!"
During the day, the news that a scout had been besieged and killed by the peasant soldiers under the command of the nobleman Zhivadin had spread throughout the hussar regiment, although the first detachment that had arrived afterwards had killed all the peasants, and the nobleman was dragged back like a dead dog.
But this still could not wash away the shame in the hearts of the proud hussars, and from the mouth of the returning detachment commander, the hussars learned an even more shocking thing
"Zhivadine has rebelled! The Legion Commander is about to attack Zhivadine tonight to suppress the rebels, and the Hussar Regiment will be the first Samore army to enter Zhivadin, and cut off the heads of the rebels with his sword."
This made all the hussars ecstatic
Just after dinner, the hussars began to prepare for the evening operation,
Some squatted by the stream to carefully polish their thick-backed sabers with whetstones, and some used the stream water to clean the dirt of the war horses, carefully inspect their weapons, and then put them into the weapon slots of the war horses one by one.
This qiē is all about being in the best shape at night
There was an indescribable depression in the air of the canyon, and the originally clear sky was covered with black clouds
This is a sign before the heavy rain is coming
The hussars were told to untie the bells of their horses and secure all the equipment that might make a noise
The first wave of 50 of the most elite cavalry in charge of the sneak attack even demanded that the four hooves of the war horse be wrapped in thick cotton cloth, and the equipment that might affect the speed of the war horse was removed
One man, one horse, one sword, and even the armor on his body was removed, which was all the belongings of these 50 guards cavalry
Speed became the key to this night attack
Murderous temporary military orders were read out of the parchment in the hands of the detachment commander
Loud noiser, kill
Whoever talks without permission, kill
Expose the whereabouts, kill ......
The fourteen murderous military orders are the night attack military regulations that the fat man just issued temporarily.
The military orders containing killing intent stimulated everyone's nerves
Tonight
His sword will swing a deadly cold light on the rebel's head, and all enemies will tremble before him
All the light cavalry listened to the military regulations with excited faces, and their bodies were boiling with blood
In the Wartime Decree that Samori had just promulgated
The rewards for exploits flashed in the minds of the hussars
Kill one person and get a silver Luke!
Kill ten people and reward a gold Luke, and become a squad leader!
Kill 30 people to become a cavalry guard, and you can choose any piece of land in your village that does not pay taxes, and give you the status of a senior warrior
Glory, money, land, the chance to rise to the rank of the Guards Cavalry, the chance to marry the most beautiful woman in the village, the chance to get rid of the peasant status forever......
This hope, which had been out of reach, suddenly rushed to the hussars, who had only been training for a month
"My dear Lisa, just tonight, I will use you to be a more famous person in the village than the new lord of Sak"
For the third time, Hussar Keris carefully wiped his most beloved back sword, and muttered excitedly in his heart,
"The man's blood is famous!"
There are many hussars with such dreams
The sky is gradually darkening, and the last arc of the sunset sinks into the distant sky,
The hearts of all the hussars began to stir
The fat man held a withered grass root in his mouth, leaning against the fork of a tree with a crooked neck, and at the root of the tree lay the leisurely Caesar Sauron,
The fat man was waiting for Crollissat's Eighth Heavy Infantry Regiment,
2000 light cavalry can crush 1500 light infantry on the plains,
However, in urban street battles, 1,500 light infantry relying on defense can easily block more than 3,000 cavalry charges
The sturdy architecture of the city extends in all directions
It is destined to be the world of infantry
Take expensive cavalry and infantry to fight city street battles, fat people don't do such a stupid thing at a loss
Suddenly a fierce mountain wind whistled in front of the fat man,
The blowing branches swayed up and down, but the fat man was as soft as a small branch, and his fat body miraculously did not slip off the small trunk.
This strange sight saw that Caesar Sauron, who was resting below, was dumbfounded, and he didn't expect that the stupid fat man in his mind had such a magical side
A drop of water fell from the sky on the fat man's nose and shattered his bones in front of the fat man's eyes
There was a dull sound of thunder in the sky
The fat man looked at the sky above his head, which was almost completely dark, jumped down from the branch of the tree with his crooked neck, spat the dead grass in his mouth on the ground, and smiled smirkly at Caesar Sauron
"Hehe, look, I'm right, God is on our side, if there is wind, it will rain, and there will soon be a heavy rainstorm here!"
Caesar Sauron looked at the dead fat man with an excited face, and was about to get up and argue with the fat man
"Boom!" thunder sounded in the sky, and a sharp electric light streaked across the sky
A figure led by the Guards cavalry entered the gorge, the herald sent at noon to contact the Eighth Heavy Infantry Regiment of Croressat
The herald came to the fat man, put his right hand flat on his chest, saluted, and reported respectfully
"Legion Commander, the Eighth Heavy Infantry Regiment of Commander Croissat has arrived at the Sakir Forest ten miles away from Zhivading as required, and as soon as he sees the signal of the Lord, he will immediately lead the army into Zhivading City!"
"Good, good, good, what a night of dark wind and high murder!"
When the fat man heard the herald's words, he laughed arrogantly, and excitedly said three good words in a row, and then turned to the guard beside him
"Immediately send an order to the whole army to assemble! The first wave of assault troops departed!"
"Woo, woo"
The long, low and long sound of the rallying bugle ignited the fire of battle in the hearts of all the light cavalry
The hussar Keres excitedly inserted his beloved "Lisa" into the scabbard, and the sky fell with a downpour, and large raindrops slapped on Keris's face, and the unquenchable passion burned in Keris's chest
"Tonight, I'm going to be a real cavalryman!"
The sudden storm not only made the sky darker, but the unsuspecting defenders of the Zhivading city wall were drenched in the torrential rain.
They all hid in the arrow tower or the passage inside the city wall to avoid the rain, and the large raindrops hit the stones of the city wall, splashing with white water.
The dense raindrops were like beating war drums, and all the guards left the battlements to take shelter from the rain.
Naturally, no one would notice that the dense raindrops were mixed with strange noises, and a group of black shadows in the distance pounced on Zhivadin like hungry wolves
Due to the characteristics of Zhivading as a commercial city, merchants often transported goods at night, so the city gate was not closed at night according to the custom, and only a dozen ordinary guards in leather armor were arranged to guard it
The black shadow in the rain hid in the shadow of the outer city wall and moved at high speed towards the north gate of Zhivadin, this is the route that the fat man has already sent someone to investigate, because there are no defenders on the city wall, and the outer edge of the city wall is the dead end of the city gate, moving in the shadow of the city wall, no one can find this cavalry that suddenly appeared
The captain of the guards cavalry, who took the lead, saw that the corner was the target of this raid, and he could even see the two city guards chatting listlessly in the city road through the oblique angle, and the excited Sa Heen took out his thick-backed combat knife and pointed at the city gate passage, turned his head and shouted to the guards cavalry following behind him,
"Assault with all your might, you must seize the city gate!"
A bright light flashed, and there was a uniform sound of drawing knives behind him, "Enemy......
Before the two guards at the gate could call out the alarm, they were slashed to the ground by the swords of the light cavalry
