Power and Empire Chapter 847: Snake-eating (4)
847 greedy snake (four)
The night is very bright, the cold moonlight is flowing among the white sand-like clouds, and a group of embarrassed Nord troops pass by the remote deserted castle, and the dark ruins of the ruins exude a kind of people in the night With a chill in my heart, the Nord infantry carrying shields lined up and marched silently. They were divided into four teams, with a number of about 20,000. In the dark night, the light of the torch was like a dragon winding through the mountains. /
On their left hand, the original town has collapsed, and some newly grown weeds remain on the jagged and sharp stones, and the dilapidated houses are left with burnt stones and thatch on top. , Wooden frames, and simple gates are completely absent, only empty walls on all sides,
The horseshoe stomped on the nearby weeds and made a pleasant rustle. Stannis ordered the legion to rest on the spot. After a day of marching, the queue immediately looked like a scattered fence, and suddenly a large area fell, one by one marching simply. The tent was quickly erected by the soldiers,
Some soldiers ran to the wasteland of the house looking for wood to set fires, and some soldiers didn’t even bother to take off the armor on their bodies, and fell asleep in the tent, all kinds of weird snoring sounds. Loud noises and laughter, like a variation on a winter night, sounded in this dilapidated ruin, and for a while it seemed very lively
"Tell Lord Longke, send a scout, and pay close attention to the surrounding movement!" Stannis exhorted Shi Cong at the door, then opened his own tent, hung his heavy armor on the hanger, and turned to him. The guards of the country asked, "Go get a plate of hot water, I want to wash my face!"
"My lord, there is no water here!" The guard replied embarrassedly, "There is only salt water like sea water. If you use it to wash your face, your hands and face will peel off!"
"Well, let's get something hot," Stannis reluctantly rolled up the long cuffs on his arm. It has been 20 days since he came to the coastal area to conquer the Falcon Army.
It is difficult to adapt to the difficult environment here. Facing the vast sea, it is difficult to find fresh water to drink. Most villages have only a few wells. Although they can barely drink, they are salty. It’s bitter. Many soldiers fell ill because they couldn’t adapt to this environment.
The attrition of the army is increasing every day. In order to cope with this situation, Stannis can only order the sick soldiers to stay there.
By the firelight in the tent, Stannis spread the map in his hand on the table with a dignified expression, looking for the current position on it, and gently searching for the rough map made of sheepskin with his fingers. With the shadow of the lonely castle reflected in the cold moonlight, Stannis quickly found his place.
Mogang Castle, five days ago, it was still a small and prosperous castle, but the cunning falcon army ransacked the place. As they did in the past, the falcon army set fire to the town’s houses and destroyed the castle. Defense facilities, then patted **** and walked away,
The only difference is that this time the Falcon Army is not taking a boat, but walking along the road along the sea. This news is like a shot of blood for the tired Stanis,
The despicable and shameless Falcon Army actually gave up its advantage on the sea. This time I don’t know what medicine I took wrong, and went along the spreading mountain road in the direction of Tiha.
For the Nord’s army, which is in distress, it’s simply God’s eye-opening. It goes around a big circle. It turns out that the cunning opponent of the Falcon Army is still thinking about Tiha, which is like playing chess. The intention of the Falcon Army is completely seen through by itself,
Even Stannis himself felt that the most absolute decision he made in his life was to leave five thousand troops in Tiha
Finger back and forth!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, already exhausted by the Stennis Legion, trailing behind the Falcon Army like a cat smelling the smell, in Stennis’s thinking, this arm entangled himself for half a time For many months, the opponent who could not be captured like a shadow, after half a month of arrogance, finally lù has a fatal flaw
The route of their march this time is so obvious that they didn’t even have the most basic cover-ups,
As long as you arrive at Tiha in time, you can cooperate with Tiha’s five thousand garrisons to intercept and kill this chaotic guy in the coastal area.
Encounters with each other became more and more frequent. On several occasions, the scouts of both sides even collided together, from the town of Moanke to the present Mo Gang,
Following unhurriedly all the way, Stannis can already feel from the blowing wind, he is getting closer and closer to the cunning opponent's pace, as long as he reaches out his hand, he can take the courage. Big and cunning opponents grab, crush, and squash! Can hear the opponent’s heartbeat,
But Stannis knew that he had to forbear, and once he really disturbed the enemy, the opponent would soon run back up again. At that time, all his efforts would be in vain,
I must wait, just like a hunter, waiting for the Falcon Army to move forward gradually, and then jump into a trap called Tihar. The number of garrisons of five thousand troops is enough to block the Falcon Army of only about 20,000 people. Under Tiha City
On the other hand, Hu Lun Fei Lin, who is carrying five thousand Hu Lun troops all the way, ~IndoMTL.com~ is staring at the starry sky above her head in a daze,
"There are two more points!" Hu Lunfeilin took out the map in his arms reluctantly, raised his hands up, and looked after the starry sky above his head. 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 "x". On this map, the cities in the coastal area of the Nord Kingdom are marked. Next to each city, there are also marked numbers. , From 1 to 35, if you connect these dots with a black charcoal pen, you will find that this random and irregular number arrangement is exactly the order in which Hu Lun’s army looted the city
Start from Tiha and end with Tiha,
The route of the Hulun tribe is completely to spare a big circle and then go back around, but when it comes back, it is completely different from the landing raid at the time. For the Nord army who is chasing after him, Hu Lunfeilin There is a feeling of wanting to laugh, because she remembered before departure,
Someone came to the Hulun clan and explained to himself in the next section, "Do you know that there is an animal called a gluttonous snake? As long as you spread the food in a line, it will follow without hesitation In the back, follow your planned route completely! All you have to do is to turn the Nord into a greedy snake... Q!. {WW.3, go and read}
