Chapter 369: When the Expedition Is Underway......

Of course, the size of the team of 30,000 people is not small, walking on the winding mountain road, looking like a long chain of locked peaks from a distance.

It may be because they have not yet walked out of the 100,000 mountains, and the soldiers are now chatting in small voices, mostly about the front line, glory, barbarians, etc...... Together, it's a low hum. Such an act naturally undermined the prestige of the army, but as if they had received an order, no one in the army came out to reprimand and stop them.

As Fray was saying now, he certainly wasn't the only one who had been to the front, so it didn't take long for news of the barbarian's ferocity to spread through the ranks.

And this is exactly what the senior officers of the army intended. Although the Grey Coats have fought for many years, and some veterans have even been in the army for more than ten years, they are all Bran soldiers, and they have no experience in fighting the Northern Barbarians at all. And the northern barbarians are naturally different from the second-rate soldiers of Bran, so it is necessary for the soldiers to know the true face of the barbarians.

Of course, word of mouth is inevitably biased, and the military's top brass naturally has a response to this. It's still a long way from the front line, and they have time to slowly pass on the information about the Haode barbarians to the soldiers. For now, let's just foreshadowing......

"This ...... Brother Frey, according to what you say, wouldn't we have no chance of winning this time when we went to the front line?" David scratched his hair, his face full of depression.

After Frey told the horrors of the Northern Barbarians and the elite troops, Don and the others were shocked. To be honest, although they have never despised the Northern Barbarians, knowing that this neighbor of Bran is not a good stubble, so many years have passed. It is also true that the Northern Wilderness still failed to break through the Bran front. This inevitably leads to the impression that the Northern Barbarians are not much different from the Bran soldiers. But now Frey told them with the facts. Barbarians, in fact, are not that simple......

"Of course not!" Shaking his head, Frey explained with a wave of a gesture, "Barbarians have the advantage of being barbarians. We, naturally, also have our strengths. The brute has a strong physique and well-developed limbs, which gives him an absolute advantage in close combat. But we have dexterous hands and smart brains, so we have alchemy. There are also Thor's hammers, large burst crossbows, and so on. ”

After a pause, "An ordinary barbarian can crush three Bran regular soldiers, and a Thor's hammer can crush nearly a hundred barbarians in a single attack while defending the city." As long as they are good at using military equipment, barbarians are actually not so terrible. ”

"Oh......" David breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't think he would be able to defeat the barbarians, but there was an easy way to deal with it, which was undoubtedly more haode.

Tang En didn't relax so quickly, and raised his eyebrows: "Brother Frey, what you just said was defending the city." And what if you crash into it in the wild?"

"Wild ...... Unless you drag Thor's hammer with you, it will only be a bitter battle. Frey shook his head. "When I was in the army, there were very few times when Bran's army actually defeated the barbarians in the open field. One or two barbarians may not be much, but when thousands of barbarians gather in a phalanx and form a collective charge on the plain, the momentum is ...... Well, it's really like the heavens and the earth are about to collapse, and those who haven't experienced it will never be able to understand the horror!"

"In fact, Bran has been fighting with the Northern Wilderness for so many years, and most of the results of zuihou are that after the barbarians see that they can no longer grab things and can't get any cheap, they retreat by themselves, and it is not Bran who drove the other party out at all, it is nonsense to fool the people...... What's even more embarrassing is that the barbarians retreat, you can't chase yet, or don't dare to chase. The terrain outside the border line is mostly flat grasslands, and fighting the barbarians there is undoubtedly a great loss. Well, there is also a saying here, Marshal Zi Yi is known as a military god among the people, but in the army, few people call it that, because they think that Zi Yi has not really attacked the Northern Wilderness, so he is not worthy of this title...... Tsk, even Marshal Ziyi is afraid of this, and no one dares to go out to find death. ”

Don grinned as if he had a toothache when he heard this, because he thought of a possibility, and then asked Frey, "Well, we can be counted as new soldiers, and we have no experience in fighting barbarians, so we should be sent to defend the city, right?"

"Alas, it's a pity, it's unlikely to ......" Frey glanced at Don, and a little bitterness appeared on his lips: "To be honest, this is also what I'm worried about. I've also got some information from the front, and it's a very chaotic place right now. In addition to the defense area of the Zichen Legion, the border line of the Thunder and Cangyan Legions has existed in name only, and now it has probably retreated to the defensive depth of the second and third lines, in other words, there are now about a few hundred kilometers of the front line that belongs to the irregular zone. ”

Speaking of this, Frey turned his head and looked around at the soldiers around him slightly, "We have 30,000 people going to the front line this time, of which food and grass are provided by Bran, and equipment is also provided by Bran, hehe, with so many things, they will easily let us go? We are likely to be thrown into these hundreds of kilometers of irregular places to face those barbarians in the wild." Well, in other words, we're likely to be used as cannon fodder. ”

"Rub!"

The conflict between the Grey Army and the Bran Army has been going on for a long time, and many people have died on both sides over the years, and this is not a problem that can be solved by a paper agreement. Now that the Greys were nominally under the jurisdiction of the Bran military, it was almost certain that they would be shoeed.

"But Brother Donn, don't be too anxious. Frey reassured, "After all, we're allies who have come to our aid, and they shouldn't dare to go too far." And we also have a special liaison officer on our side who is responsible for mediating the affairs of both sides. Well, it should be able to contain some problems. "The truth is good, and so is the word, but the two rather unconfident 'shoulds' in it still express that Frey is not optimistic about this prospect.

"They dare! If they dare to provoke me, see that I don't beat him to death!" waved his fist, and a slight sound of breaking through the air came out, David was not like Frey, he had been with the Gray Army for several years, and naturally he had no good feelings for the Bran military.

"Count me in! If you don't come to provoke, if you dare to play yin, the master doesn't mind touching his dog head in the middle of the night......"

......

Looking at David and the others who suddenly became excited, Frey and Tyton glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly, this matter is quite tricky, I just hope that it won't happen at that time.

In the next few days, the trip was still in a hurry. However, people of officer rank had been called to a meeting, and Don En had also gone there, and it was not the old Marshal Ou Meng who presided over the meeting, he was now sitting in the rear, and this time it was Daniel, the former commander of the First Army.

The army meeting is also quite a military style, and the short answer is direct, mainly on two things, one is that each person sent a stack of information about the northern barbarians, and asked him to take it back and tell his subordinate soldiers. As for the second matter, it is a mandatory rule that all soldiers of the Gray Coats are not allowed to clash with the Bran soldiers, and if there is a conflict, in case of provocation, they will directly communicate with the liaison officer.

Judging from the regulations specifically listed, Daniel and others also know the hidden dangers and trickiness of this matter. Everyone knows that no matter where the soldier is, there will never be a shortage of fiery tempers, so although punishment measures have been established, it is really difficult to say what the result will be......

......

......

Late at night on the fifth day after the 30,000 troops left Dawn City, on the outer wall of the East City Gate, a short figure carrying a huge burden quickly slid down with a long rope. I have to say that she chose a good timing, just when she was on the ground, the patrol soldiers who had just changed the guard of the city wall slowly walked from above.

"Hee-hee, Brother Donn, I'm going to find you...... Oh, not for the time being, Brother Fairey said, only Sister Josia knows the whereabouts of Brother Donne, well, go find Sister Josia first...... Mountain Creek City ...... East Side ......"

Whispering to herself, the diminutive figure left the city walls, and after about half an hour she touched a leeward hill, and then a neighing of horses sounded, and she rode alone to the east.

"Captain, Captain Harry...... The goal ran. At the top of the hill, a voice rang out.

"Ah...... Run, who ran away?" A slightly chubby figure took the lead in standing up, opening his mouth and yawning, looking quite lazy, but then after seeing the vague short cavalry in the distance, his body suddenly shook: "Aha, I finally absconded! It is worthy of the boss's sister, this patience is strong! Well, the common sense is a little worse, hide the horse here, and ask me to feed it for a few days...... Tsk, it's really this road, I really want to thank Xia Feirui!"

"Uh, Boss Harry, do you know what she's targeting?"

"As long as you don't go to the front...... Well, it's okay to go out for a walk, let's go, our mission this time is to play with the princess!"

"Yes. ”
