847 Snake (4)
The night was very bright, the cold moonlight flowed in the clouds like white sand, a group of wolf-like Nord troops walked through the remote deserted fortress, the dark ruins exuded a chill in the dark night, the Nord infantry with shields marched silently in a queue, they were divided into four teams, the number was about 20,000, in the dark night, the light of the torches was like a long dragon winding through the mountains,
To their left hand, the place that used to be the town had collapsed, some of the newly grown weeds remained on the jagged sharp stones, the ruined houses were all left with burnt stones, the thatch, the wooden frames, and the rudimentary gates were completely gone, only the four empty walls,
There was a pleasant rustle of horses' hooves on the nearby weeds, and Stanis ordered the legion to rest on the spot, and the procession that had been marching for a day was immediately like a fence that had been scattered, and suddenly a large piece fell, and the simple marching tents were quickly erected by the soldiers.
Some soldiers ran to the wasteland of the house to look for wood to light a fire, and some soldiers didn't even bother to take off their armor, and just fell asleep in the tent, and for a time all kinds of strange snoring, noise, and laughter, like variations in a winter night, sounded in this ruined ruin, and for a time it seemed very lively
"Sue Sรน Ronco, send out scouts and keep an eye on the surrounding movements!" Stanis instructed the attendant at the door, then opened his tent door, hung his heavy armor on a hanger, and turned to his guards and instructed, "Go get a plate of hot water, I want to wash my face!"
"My lord, there's no water here!" the guard replied with a look of embarrassment, "There is only salt water like sea water here, and if you use it to wash your face, your hands and face will fall off!"
"Alright, then go get something hot," Stanis reluctantly rolled up the long cuffs on his arm, it had been 20 days since he came to the coastal area to crusade against the Falcon army,
It is still difficult to adapt to the harsh environment here, facing the vast sea, it is difficult to find fresh water that can be drunk, and most villages have only a small number of wells, although they can barely drink it, but when swallowed, it is salty and bitter, and many soldiers fall ill because they cannot adapt to this environment
The attrition of the army increased every day, and in response to the situation, Stanis could only order the sick soldiers to stay local,
By the light of the fire in the tent, Stanis spread out the map in his hand on the table with a somewhat solemn expression, his eyes looking for his current location on it, his fingers lightly searched for the rough map made of sheepskin, and with the remnant of the lonely castle reflected in the cold moonlight outside, Stanis quickly found his position,
Mogang Castle, five days ago, it was a thriving little castle, but the cunning falcon army ransacked the place, as it had done before, the falcon army set fire to the town's houses, destroyed the castle's defenses, and then patted its ass and walked away.
The only difference is that this time the Falcon army is not on boat, but on foot, moving along the road by the sea, and this news is like a shot in the arm for the exhausted Stannis,
The despicable and shameless Falcon army actually gave up the advantage of the sea, and this time they didn't know what they had eaten wrong, and they actually advanced in the direction of Tiha along the spreading mountain road,
This is an eye-opener for the Nord army that is in distress, it turns out that the cunning opponent of the Falcon Army is still thinking about Tiha, this is like playing chess, and the intention of the Falcon Army is completely seen through by himself,
Even Stanis himself felt that the most desperate decision he had made in his life was to leave 5,000 troops in Tiha....
Forward and backward strikes!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, already exhausted Stannis's legion, like a cat that smells fishy like a cat trailing behind the falcon army, in Stannis's thinking, this team that has been entangled with himself for more than half a month, like a shadow that cannot be captured, after being arrogant for half a month, finally revealed a fatal flaw
The route of their march this time was so obvious that there was not even the most basic cover-up,
As long as he arrives at Tiha in time, he can fully cooperate with Tiha's 5,000 garrisons to intercept and kill this chaotic guy who is stirring up chaos in the coastal site' area.
Encounters with each other are becoming more and more frequent, and several times, the scouts on both sides have even collided together, from Moanke Town to the current Mogang,
Following unhurriedly all the way, Stanis could already feel from the wind blowing in his face that he was getting closer and closer to the cunning opponent's pace, and as long as he stretched out his hand, he could grab, crush, and stomp on this bold and cunning opponent!
But Stannis knew that he had to be patient, and once he really disturbed the enemy, the other party would soon run back from the new one, and at that time, all his efforts would be in vain.
He had to wait, like a hunter, for the Falcon army to move forward step by step, and then jump into a garrison called Tiha Trap, a garrison of five thousand people, enough to stop the Falcon army, which was only about 20,000 men, under the city of Tiha
On the other hand, Hulun Feilin, who was marching all the way with five thousand Hulun troops, was looking at the starry sky above his head in a daze,
"There are two more points!" Hu Lunfilin took out the map in his arms with some great reluctance, raised his hands high, and looked at the starry sky overhead, sometimes in order to pass the boring time, this is also a good way
The cold light of the cold moon shines on the map, revealing a black one", on this map, the cities in the coastal area of the Nord Kingdom are marked, and next to each city, there are also numbers, from 1 to 35, if you connect these dots with black charcoal, you will find that this irregular arrangement of numbers is the order in which Hulun's army plundered the cities
Beginning with Tiha and ending with Tiha,
The route of the Hulun tribe is completely to spare a big circle, and then go back around, but coming back at this time, it is completely different from the landing raid at that time, for the Nord army that is chasing after her, Huren Filin has a feeling of wanting to laugh, because she remembered that before leaving,
When someone went to the Huren and explained to himself in private, he said, "Do you know that there is an animal called a snake? As long as you lay out a line of food, it will follow without hesitation and follow exactly the route you predetermined! What you have to do is to turn the Nord into a snake!"
