After a five-day journey, Zhang Ang and his entourage arrived at their destination. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is the Rhine River, which flows calmly and gently from the snow-capped mountains, passing through many countries, nourishing the creatures on both sides. It also divided Germany and Austria into two different countries from east to west.

The banks of the Rhine are now long gone, replaced by vast stretches of military camps.

Countless tents rose from the ground, and countless soldiers were densely packed among them, looking down from the high mountains, it looked like endless ants. The trees on the banks of the river have long since been cut down and turned into large piles of logs. A small part of them were mixed with stones and made into strong fortifications, while most of them were piled up by the river, and with the efforts of the craftsmen who accompanied the army, they were transformed into small troop carriers, square pontoon squares.

And along the road along the river, the cavalry of the brigade is patrolling back and forth to prevent any possible accidents.

The situation on the other side of the river was similar, and the camp was also densely packed, and the soldiers were like ants. However, the camp on the opposite side was faintly divided into two parts, one east and one west, one on the low slope of the river, and the other at the foot of the mountain, facing the north bank of the river. However, looking at the scale, the scale of these two camps combined is not as good as that of the river.

Descending the mountain, Zhang Ang and his party began to march towards the barracks.

Although their final destination was Austria, now that the bridges had been destroyed and the riverbanks were blocked, it was impossible to enter Austria easily unless they made a detour to another country. If you take a detour, the road is long, and there is a high possibility that it will be discovered and stopped by the border guards, and even cause conflicts.

The best way now is to take advantage of the fact that the army will cross the river and the two armies will fight in the big battle, fish in troubled waters and enter Austria, and then rely on Adolf's familiarity with Austria to avoid the front of the army, escape into the hinterland of Austria, and then make plans.

Of course, it is not easy to mix into the barracks, the elite has elite barracks, the regular army has the barracks of the regular army, the miscellaneous army has the barracks of the miscellaneous army, and the cannon fodder also has the barracks of cannon fodder.

At the gate of the barracks of the aristocratic coalition army, the team of Zhang Ang and his party was stopped: "Where did you come from?

Of course, such an inquiry does not need to be answered by "Viscount Anthony" himself, Zhang Ang took two steps up, and said proudly to the guards at the gate of the camp: "We are the team of the Anthony family in Yelishaw City! It is the head of the Anthony family, Lord Anthony, who leads us. ”

The guard looked suspiciously at the "Viscount Anthony" who was riding on his horse, crushing the horse to his knees, and the exaggerated large armor on his body, and carefully identified the somewhat tattered and dirty flag. "Viscount Anthony" was not asked to remove the full-coverage helmet from his head, nor did he inquire about the obvious physique of the crowd.

"Your camp is in the northernmost part of the camp! don't just come to the south, lest you run into the adults to the south. Do you understand?" and the captain of the guard waved his hand, ordered the fence to be removed, and let the group enter the barracks.

Of course, the environment in the north is not as good as in the south, this is a woodland that has been cleared by the recent removal of trees, the ground is uneven, and the surrounding area is damp and dry, and it is not a suitable place to camp.

But there are quite a few troops here, and they have also built large and small tattered camps, but these "soldiers" are all serfs with tattered equipment, thin bodies, sad faces, and dull eyes. Some of them were setting up pots, bringing firewood, and boiling some strange food of unknown origin, and not a single pot was surrounded by a large circle of glaring serfs.

After walking around, everyone found a slightly flat piece of land, and seeing that the sky was almost dark, Adolf ordered: "Okay, take advantage of the fact that it is not dark, first build the camp tent, and then bury the pot to make rice, and rest early!"

The crowd was naturally much stronger than the serfs, and in a few hours the few hundred men worked together to set up a rough camp, which, though it looked a little shabby, was not much less comfortable than the elaborate tents on the south.

After everyone had eaten well, Zhang Ang called a few members who were more clever and good at building relationships with people, saved up a few sets of elaborate armor, dressed them carefully, and then took out some fine wine and silver coins, and asked them to go to the great nobles' station in the south to collect information.

After all, when you come to a strange place, and the war is imminent, it's not okay to smear it overnight, and when the time comes, you will really be used as cannon fodder, and there will be no place to cry.

Time passed, and the people sent out also returned one after another, came to Zhang Ang and Adolf's tent, and began to report to them.

"Report to the two adults, according to my inquiry, now the Second Legion and the Third Legion of the Empire have been mobilized here, and the reorganization has begun. I don't think it's going to be a big war soon. ”

"Report to the two lords, as far as I know, this time the person in charge of commanding the army is Lord Lister, the first marshal of the empire, supplemented by Marshal Fedor of the Second Legion, Marshal Walter of the Third Legion, and Marshal Luger of the Fourth Legion. They are all famous generals of the empire, who have been fighting horses all their lives, and have rich experience in warfare!"

"Report to your lordship, according to the intelligence reality, this time it is Marquis Rudolph who is responsible for leading the aristocratic coalition! He is a third-generation nobleman, although his family is powerful and his own strength is not bad, but he has never been on the battlefield and has no experience in war. It is not known why Marshal Lista put him in command of the coalition of nobles. ”

"Report to the chief of staff, the troops who have rushed to the front line these days have almost arrived, only a small part of the team in the northern Xinjiang has not yet arrived, and it is expected that all the troops will be assembled in a few days and will start to cross the river!"

"Report to the party leader, this time for the sake of His Majesty's will is very resolute, it is said that he gave Marshal Lista a death order, even if these hundreds of thousands of people are gone, Austria must be recaptured! ”

"Report to the two adults, I took a long circle in the south hall, and no one said that they had seen several respected Martial Saint Lords, whether it was the Siegfried family, the Northern Legion, or the Grimm Academy, they did not indicate that they had seen them, so I couldn't confirm whether they had arrived at the battlefield or not. ”

"Report to my lord, it is reported that the French on the other side have been increasing their troops, from the initial tens of thousands to at least 100,000 now, and in just two weeks, they have increased their troops by more than 100,000! Moreover, it is said that someone has seen the banner of the French royal family! That French military god, Emperor Napoleon, is very likely to be sitting in the military camp opposite!"

......

One by one, one by one, his subordinates successively reported to Zhan Gao and Adolf. also made the brows of the two of them lock deeper and deeper.
