Chapter 67
The mail cavalry of the 7th Mixed Battalion Resolution Brigade made great contributions this time and discovered the situation of a flanking border army of the Esos crossing the river at the ferry crossing of the river. Although they paid the price of nearly two resolution teams being killed, they finally sent the information back to the 7th Mixed Battalion Command.
The enemy's movements will be mastered first, which will play a decisive role in the battlefield, especially for a powerful and good at capturing almost all the Grimney Army, such as the Seventh Mixed Battalion.
Upon hearing the news, Enzos didn't even hesitate at all. He left the baggage troops still camping nearby and threw nearly a thousand cavalry to the mouth of the river.
The army was only twenty miles eastward from the ferry. Such a distance was nothing for the Seventh Mixed Battalion. Now, even the civil servants who were carrying letters in the battalion could not be able to do it on the horse for two hundred miles. The Grizzly Army was developing into the entire cavalry a long time ago. No matter who had to learn the first skill that anyone in the army had to ride a horse. Even if they were not riding well, they had to ride it. This was a dead order and there was no room for bargaining.
The cavalry were walking through the valley, and there were several bandits standing on the top of the mountain. They were speechless. One was marching unscrupulously, and the other was hiding on the mountain and trembling, fearing that the army would suddenly attack them. As bandits, their eyes were bright. What kind of army could bully and what kind of army should never offend. This had a scale in their hearts.
In those days, some of them, under the name of the Flagless Brotherhood, planned to rob a fat sheep convoy escorted from the Ram Gate. Dozens of good men entered Baigang City without even a single message, as if they had evaporated from the world.
It is said that Yan has left his name, but the mysterious soldiers in Baigang seem to have never left any traces of killing people, and they don’t even know how to die. This is a bit scary.
After all, fear often comes from ignorance.
Ronal did nothing. Just because he didn't keep the door in his mouth, he stood on the mountain and teased the army at the foot of the mountain. As a result, a team of twenty cavalry suddenly came from behind the mountain. More than a hundred bandits didn't even have time to make extra resistance, and the cavalry were shot into a sieve by the horse, using crossbow arrows and cavalry.
I have never seen such a ruthless person riding horses and shooting in the mountains and fields. Most of them were driven by the Esos from the eastern border of the north and the eastern border. After joining together with the original bandits here, the number of people reached nearly five or six thousand. Although the number seemed to be quite large, very few people could fight or had weapons and armor.
It is impossible to cross between the two forts from White Harbor City to Houwood City, and there are heavily guarded territory for patrolling guards. These bandits can only hide in the dense forest east of the White Blade River and live a life of lingering.
Ronal's head was picked up by a cavalry on the tip of the gun and became the pioneer of the army.
Nzos rode on the war horse and looked at the sneaky figure behind the trees on both sides. He scolded disdainfully: "All men from the north are all men, why would they rather stay in the mountains as bandits? Not to mention robbing their own land from the hands of the Esos. They were the first people to get the news when the Esos crossed the river, but they didn't know how to send people to inform us. To be more serious, these people were just colluding with the enemy. If the situation had not been chaotic recently, the Lord would have already planned to send a side army out of the city to clean up these disasters..."
A small team leader beside him smiled and nipped the wild apples that he had obtained from somewhere. He licked the juices everywhere, and then wiped his mouth hard with his sleeves and said, "Don't hurt the spring and autumn at this time. Our cavalry subdued the four fields and bullied those poor bandits. When we cleaned up the Essos and controlled the ferry in our hands, these thieves became meat on the chopping board and had nowhere to run.
So, the apple I just received was handed to me by a thief when I stopped peeing. He said it was from the Qilipo Brotherhood, and said that we would spare their lives next time we met. Do you want one? I still have it in my pocket behind the horse. If you don’t want it, there is a pile of silver deer. This money is definitely a big sum of money for this barren land. It can be seen that those bandits are really treating us as filial piety.
For those of us who are just passers-by, those people are really worthy of face."
Enzos turned his head and glared at the captain behind him, then quickly turned his gaze back, looking at the road running in front of the horse, and said angrily: "You are tight-skinned and want to be military law. So simply turn around and your team will go up to fight the first round?"
"This relationship is good," the captain laughed, "I am begging for such a good opportunity for our team. However, if you want to say that, there are any serious businessmen on this road, who are secretly out of seclusion and trade with the Essos. I heard that trafficking of private goods here is a profitable profit. Since those people are exchanging their lives for money, they will not blame others when they die.
Nzos stopped talking, and after a while, pointing at the valley in front and said, "The mountain pass ahead is a plain. The cavalry of the Esos must have approached nearby to investigate. If we want to kill the Esos at the ferry, we must not let the cavalry of the opponent detect our movements. When we reach the valley, let the cavalry stop and clean up the eyes outside before leaving.
The Lord has high hopes for us. The Gripen Guard threw the Gripen Guards to more than 100 of us without blinking. Those are the warriors who follow the Lord to fight south and north. They have invested so much money, so this time we must fight to the end of the world."
The captain who had clearly known Enzos for a long time frowned and said, "There is only about five miles of room to maneuver between the valley entrance and the ferry entrance. In such a small space, there are still plains. We basically don't have too many choices. Sending any cavalry to crush the enemy sentry will arouse alertness. After all, our equipment and flags are too dazzling, and sneak attacks are almost impossible. Otherwise, we can kill them in one go, and we can still take down those Ethus people if we fight with dignity."
Nzos didn't say anything, but still strangled the horse on a low cliff that was about to arrive at the entrance of the valley. The horse roared. Nzos looked at the vague plain outside the valley and sighed: "Your thoughts are the same as mine. If you didn't have the time to study with Deputy Commander Duncan of the Legion, you would not be able to have a refreshing frontal impact. It is also the way I hate the most. However, you have been stationed in Baigang for a long time and don't know the combat situation in Hejian. When you have seen the remains of soldiers covered with the valley and experienced the feeling that it is really indescribable, you will also try your best to avoid casualties from our army."
After saying that, Enzos's sadness faded, changed into a heroic expression on his face, and laughed loudly and ordered: "Telecommand, please go ahead and rest temporarily. Send a scout team to search for nearby areas. Remember not to alarm the enemy's sentinels."
"The people who went there called me the nearby bandit leader. They would remember the number of people they could come. They would be considered as a way to deal with the enemy in the future."
"Yes, sir."
Not long after, a group of bandit leaders dressed in different types, either tattered, delicate or rusty armor, gathered on the small hills around the Seventh Mixed Battalion. Enzos first sent clerks to communicate first.
After a while, he personally threw the guard away and rode away. The clerk stood on a mountain bag and talked to a group of messy bandits. He had been talking for a while. He had not had so many clerks and some stinky bandits. He didn't even have any clerks around him. He was really a mess. What should I do if something happened? There was no war report in the army. These were all soldiers who were finally provoked and trained to teach.
The bandit group saw Enzos's flag coming towards them, and turned around habitually and planned to run. During the entire march, in the first half of the valley, the soldiers with this flag killed the bandits the most.
"Why run away? That's my battalion commander. If I'm here, you won't die." Although the clerk was not as strong as the combat soldiers, he stood there majestic and drank the bandits who were about to escape.
The yellow cat Rhode, the leader of the Black Cat Brotherhood, shook his head repeatedly and said, "Sir, we can say a few more words to you, but your general is a magic star. I can't afford to mess with you, so it's better to stay away. I heard that the Gripen Legion has many rules. We are not afraid of riding alone when you ride alone, but if your general sees my old Rod, he will be detested and slashed with one sword, thousands of brothers from my Black Cat Brotherhood will die."
Another tall and thin bandit leader saw Lin En tremblingly as he kept pushing in, saying, "My lord, although you don't know what position you hold in that shocking cavalry army, let us leave first. What you said just now, let us cooperate with you to disguise yourself and sneak attack spy Esos. We are willing to cooperate, but don't let us stay, we can't afford to offend your general."
The clerk laughed and said, "You will get angry only after you run away. It's okay to stand here obediently. We are talking about important things. Maybe my general is here to make some suggestions."
Seeing the guards beside Enzos even had their swords unsheathed, several bandit leaders were shocked and turned around and ran, saying to the clerk of the 7th mixed battalion, "Your request, sir, we will go and do it immediately, even if you send someone here, please bring your general with you if you have any requests. Even if our brothers die more, it will be fine. It is not enough to discuss things with a veritable Gripen commander. Even if it is just a conversation, my calves will become thorny. Say goodbye."
Enzos came to the clerk who was stunned, staring at the fleeing bandits with a gloomy face, and his tone was as cold as a broken ice and said, "What, these damn gods don't agree?"
The clerk turned around in surprise, looked at Enzos with an angry face, saluted and explained: "Mr. Barracksman, these people said that they could do whatever orders you want. I just hope that when you turn back and deal with them, you will be more merciful!"
The bandits disguised as headless flies and were wandering around the valley, with several female bandits dressed in bright linen clothes that had been together in the valley, which indeed attracted the attention of a nearby team of Ersos cavalry.
As the Ethus people gradually approached, the crossbowmen who were ambushing the valley and the bandits who suddenly showed their fangs swallowed and peeled the Ethus people alive.
Watching the No. 1000 Gripen cavalry set out again in the temporary resting valley, re-expanding the bright Gripen flag, and the cavalry lined up neatly out of the valley.
On the stretching hills behind the valley, thousands of bandits breathed a sigh of relief.
Apart from the bleakness of the winter grassland, there are really no other landscapes. There are distant mountains but no nearby trees. Occasionally, you can see some foxes appearing among the grass. You can take a look at the sea in the sky and prepare to continue lying in the grass waiting for the rabbits and pheasants for food.
Suddenly, all the animals on the grassland stopped their original movements and pricked up their ears and listened to the sounds from afar.
First, mice, marmots and other things went into their caves first. Then, the jackals also gave up the prey they were about to get, and turned around and fled to the depths of the grassland.
After a while, an army appeared on the horizon. After leaving the valley, they divided into three, like three black torrents, slowly flowing into the withered grassland.
The iron hooves of the war horses shattered the dead grass on the ground, and the wheels of the convoy crushed deep ruts on the soft land. The mules and horses pulling the cart sprayed thick white air from the noses, and they tried hard to move their hooves and advance with the steps of the cavalry.
The army is as powerful as a rainbow.
When they completely escaped from the sparse woods at the entrance of the valley, the cavalry completely let go of their speed and started running.
With a long whip, a thousand cavalrymen were like a sharp sword that penetrated straight into the direction of the river ferry at the fork of the Broken Branch.
The loud sound of horse hooves covered the hustle and bustle of the Ersus camp. When more and more Ersus soldiers in the camp reacted, they were not too late to wear armor and were killed by death-taking arrows flying in.
There was a riot in the flank military camp of Esos.
"Enemy attacks the enemy!"
Someone shouted, and the sound was a little torn along with the enemy's attack horn that had sounded too late.
Whoosh!
An arrow flew over and shot through the neck of the deputy commander of the Esos, who had just turned over and walked out of the camp, looked shocked.
The deputy commander fell down.
Finally someone saw the Gripen pattern on the arrow tail feather and shouted: "Defend quickly, it's the Gripen Legion."
The horrified soldier of Esos took out his armor in a panic, then staggered towards the weapon stand to remove the shield and scimitar, long sword, long axe, and the usual bows and arrows, and pulled the bow and arrow.
The Essos tried their best to quickly set up the team into a defensive formation.
However, the formation has not yet become true. As a slogan shouted heart-wrenchingly, everyone turned their heads to look at the west hillside in panic.
On a long and broken slope, Nzos did not observe the scene of the riots at the camp of Ersos below. His eyes fell on the sequence of charge cavalry, raising his sword and shouting: "The Seventh Mixed Battalion Cavalry Regiment, prepare-"
"kill!"
As the commander called out, the cavalry drew out his sword, kissed the sword body like a knight, and followed the mighty cavalry team and rushed down roaring.
Chapter completed!
