Power and Empire Chapter 1435: The collapsed alliance (1)
The raindrops hit the bright armor and turned into a white spray. On a black rainy night, a large number of soldiers were searching along the woods. The lightning flashed, illuminating the gray pair of Baron Saint Sova, the military commander of Oaca Pupils,
He is riding on a black-spotted horse, holding the whip in his hand, and lightly tapping the long leather riding boots with some impatience,
More than a dozen officers with serious expressions were riding side by side behind him, all looking a little embarrassed. They were dragged out of the warm bed in the middle of the night. It was not a very physical and mental joy. The rain hit them. On the iron helmet, the hair is wet,
" As the person in charge of the outpost, the enemy swaggered past. You didn’t even have a report. What a dereliction of duty!
Saint Souvl turned around, his eyes swept over these dejected men. News of the attack on the capital reached here as quickly as possible. Saint Souvl, who was still in the front line fortress, finally couldn’t sit still. According to the information from the capital, the capital attacked was a cavalry unit.
The number is about a thousand people, and the combat power is strong, but the most important thing is the direction of the opponent’s appearance, which is obviously passed directly from the defense zone of the Baron St. Sois. This is for the St. Soup who has just delivered all the safety reports. For Wa, it was tantamount to a slap in the face fiercely. He could imagine his lord’s angry and distorted face
" Must, immediately get these bold enemies out of me!
Saint Sova dare not delay the slightest. It’s raining outside. Even if the opponent leaves traces, they will be washed away by the rain tomorrow morning. At that time, I will try to figure out the enemy’s movements. That's too difficult,
He mobilized all the soldiers to search in the direction most likely to be the enemy's crossing path, hoping to find the horseshoe prints of the enemy’s coming and going. The area of Oaca is not large, and the front line where the Baron Saint Sois is located, and the rear The capital is only fifty miles away, and within this distance, the cautious Baron Saint Sois has arranged more than a dozen guards. God knows how these enemies passed through,
Of course, it is not ruled out that heavy rain, the sentry guards of the sentry post ran in to hide from the rain, but all the sentry officers said that they did not dereliction of duty. Laotangji
" That’s weird. Did the enemy fly over with wings?" Baron Saint-Sauveur touched his chin in confusion. Ten minutes later, news came from the investigation along the way. At the ninth sentry post, the dead body of the sentry was found.
" The enemy’s sharp arrow pierced the sentry’s throat from a long distance, so that the sentry could not sound the alarm. The other companions did not know that the sentry in the shift was dead.” The military commander who came to report said, “We are also here. When we counted the number of people, it was discovered that one sentry was missing. The body was well hidden with leaves. It took us a while to find it. The rest of the outposts were normal. The personnel were all present. The soldiers stood by in the rain. People are lazy"
search continued into the middle of the night, and finally got some news
Baron Saint Sois rushed to the river beach by the forest with his men. It is autumn, and the water in the river is not deep. An officer is squatting on the shallow water of the beach, turning a few messy river beaches in his hands. With pebbles, the young officer hurriedly stood up and saluted when he saw Baron St. Sois’s horse team.
"Lean? Did your report find something?"
Baron Saint Sois reined in his horse, he recognized the young officer in front of him, Leonsbury, an officer in the army’s logistics department. Everyone was sent out this time, so neither did Leonsperry. Spared,
" is the lord general. Although there is no complete proof yet, judging from the broken stones, it should be caused by being stepped on by heavy objects!"
Leans Parry picked up a piece of stone that he had just looked at, and handed it to the baron St. Sois on the horse.” The most likely is the horse, and there are still many horses, otherwise the whole piece will not be on the beach. The stones are scattered!"
"Ertan!"
Saint Sova took a look at the stone, the cracks were neat, like being cut by a sharp blade, this was a sign of being crushed by heavy objects, and such signs were almost all over the beach, he immediately sent someone After a trip along the river beach, it was really like this everywhere
"Where is the upper reaches of this river?" Saint Sova asked solemnly, as if suddenly remembering something
"Poillac Village! Lean Spari touched his nose, and said in a condensed voice, "It is the area of the ninth post. I think they should have found something."
"This is the right number!" There was a faint flash across Saint Sova’s face. The enemy’s path was so strange, basically because there was a section of the road directly following the shoal of the river, and two of the dead bodies were found. This post happens to be located in the middle and upper reaches of this section of the river,
"Order the squadrons to assemble, we go downstream to find!" The Baron Saint-Souvre ordered, "The enemy has attacked the capital, but many signs indicate that this arrogant small group of cavalry did not choose to evacuate immediately, but returned Wandering between our defense zone and the capital, the opponent has only 1,000 people, but we have 8,000 people. Following the clue of the river beach, the enemy’s route is already obvious. I will catch them to wash away the problems against me. Insult!"
It was raining heavily, and the road ahead was almost invisible. The entire column of soldiers marched along the direction of the river, their spears were like snow, brightened in the rain,
The search team began to narrow down the area. In the mud of the lower reaches of the river, they found a large number of horseshoe marks, and the target was the Annaba area downstream, which is a forest, which is most conducive to hiding
"Lord Commander, our forward has encountered the enemy!" Exciting news came from the front
"Try to hold them down, speed up the squadrons! I want to encircle them" Baron Saint Sois raised his whip and shouted excitedly~ IndoMTL.com~ He seems to have seen the balance of victory tilt towards him, ever since The opposing cavalry unit swiftly attacked, and the entire Oacha was almost defeated before a fight, and lost two-thirds of the area in just a few days.
And now, the other party is boldly ignoring him and attacking the capital behind it is really too much. For the soldiers of Oaza, this is a naked insult! It's time for the warrior's sword to be out of its sheath to defend the glory,
At dawn, the rain stopped, and the white mist spread across the forest, like a flowing white belt, with a bit of coldness. At the edge of the forest, some people and horse corpses were lying there.
After the contact, the enemy retreated into the forest,
Baron Saint Sois stopped his horse, looked at the enemy emerging from the forest in the distance, his eyebrows frowned slightly, "This seems to be the dress of a steppe cavalry!" In his line of sight, a team was seen. Armored cavalry with bowed bows appeared on the edge of the forest,
These cavalrymen are wearing black armor, a pointed round cap, and a powerful compound bow. The meniscus-shaped curved sword has a strange feeling. One of the officers is obviously physically weak. Riding out from the queue, he was also looking at himself with a dark luster, cold, **** eyes. I don’t know why, Baron Saint-Sauveur has a chilling feeling under this kind of gaze,
seems to be the prey, the other is the hunter! (To be continued) [This text is provided by Qihang Update Team@偶氏尊尊] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
