Power and Empire Chapter 1819: Falcon’s Arrow (9)


The fat man stood on a high hill and watched a bright white line spreading from the upper reaches of Dalny City. The violent wind made his black hair fly in the sun, watching him cruising in Dalny's direction. The Gaul scout cavalry ran in a panic, scared by the sight. There was not much expression on his face. The rolling torrent turned the ground. The speed of the flood spread even faster than the speed of the Gaul war horse. A bone was swept away, and I don’t know how Statunko hoarded so much water. In a blink of an eye, it spread across the large plains in front of the city of Dalny, and some dilapidated houses outside the city were swept away. It turned into fragments that drifted in. Under the mighty sky, all the obstructions were flattened in one fell swoop, as if a huge cluster of arrows pierced through the plateau named Danni,

"Beat the drum, stand up the flag!" The fat man retracted his gaze and raised his hand. He wanted to tell Algernon Katja, didn't he want to come by himself, then now, here I am! The other party may still be imagining that he will roll in the mud, and he needs to tell him who is the one who is about to roll in the mud. Dozens of infantry troops are laid out, and the Falcons marching forward together, Just like a black steel wall slowly moving, behind the neat spear-stabbing phalanx is a phalanx of archers holding a crossbow. Ten huge leather drums stand under one of the largest golden falcon flags, twenty people. The brawny man with his upper body vigorously waved the drum hammer, making a drum sound like rolling thunder.

"Asshole!"

The face of Algernon Katja standing on the wall of Dalny was the same color as the land that was overwhelmed by the flood, and it was so dark that it seemed to be able to drip. He held the battlements with his bulging hands and looked at the army appearing from the horizon like a wolf. The Falcon Army walked neatly like a person, advancing with the dull drums of dongdong and dongdong, and finally again. As if one mountain after another stopped at the edge of the flood, countless falcons and battle flags were fluttering in the wind, the battle formation was like a cloud, and the black army formation was shivering cold in the sun.

Every drumbeat that came from the opposite side seemed to hit the heart of the Gauls, and the soldiers' faces were pale. The generals showed timidity on their faces, "Don't be fooled, the logistics of the Falcons have been cut off, and now it's just a bluff!" Algernon Katja said loudly, "As long as we hold on, the Falcons will retreat."

The flood lasted for more than an hour before revealing the black soil that had become completely muddy. When a person stepped on it, he could not reach his tiny feet. It takes a lot of effort to pull it out, and it’s more difficult to move if you wear combat armor.

This kind of land is not just a few hundred meters. It has three or four miles of broadband. It completely blocked the area in front of the exit of Dalny City. The situation after the flood became disturbing. The expressions of Algernon Katja and the generals became ugly. Everyone realized the fact that they were trapped.

The Falcon Army is staring at each other. Long spears lined up, crossbows opened, like a beast with a huge mouth open, countless arrows flashing in the sun, cold light, very clear reminders of the Gauls. You don't even need to fight, and you can shoot all the Gallic troops out of the city into the mud with the frightening crossbow.

"Order the troops to stay! The opponent must be more difficult than us"

Algernon Katja took a deep breath, and ordered the generals in a certain tone. In his heart, he firmly believed that the Vickia Falcon was bluffing, but the timing of the opponent's appearance was too good, and then flooded. It’s not important. Algernon Katya firmly believes that within five days, the aggressive Falcon Army under the city will become a dead dog in the mud. At that time, you can swing a big stick and beat the dog into the water,

"Your Majesty, do you need to issue a siege order?" Southern Governor Statunko asked the fat man for instructions

The fat man waved his hand flatly. "No, the city of Dalny is already a dead city. There is no need for soldiers to be casualties! Tomorrow, Saron will personally lead a large number of supply convoys to come and find that our army's supplies are simply out of stock. Once affected, Daniel will collapse by himself! It’s just that Hu Keqili didn’t know what went wrong, and there is still definite news!"

There was a trace of worry on the fat man’s face. The 20,000 imperial cavalry that Hu Keqili took to ambush Hasen Rambo has not yet returned, but sent back a battle report, known as the No. 6 Gaul of Brown Sugar. The army was completely finished. With Hu Keqili’s full blow, Hasen Rambo’s Sixth Army had tens of thousands of troops wiped out on the border between Dalny and Philip Province, but as Hasen Rambo was necessary to capture, It seems that it was not caught as scheduled. According to the report, it was too chaotic. With the back of the river, Hasen Lampor, who was unwilling to be captured, was very likely to jump into the river desperately and escape. The cavalry had already opened the search in the river. network.

On August 31st, the falcon cavalry searched the area of ​​the river. The entire forest was full of dense birch, wattle, beech and oak trees. The rustling branches surrounded them like walls. The flat ground was covered with green moss and thick weeds, and people walked on it, and there was almost no noise. I can't see any trails, and even if there are, they have long been obliterated by dense grass.

There are tangled leaf holly, wild plum trees, ferns and grasses everywhere, dense and tall thorns, and no one can be seen beyond ten steps. In order to avoid any omissions, the cavalry came down from the battle horses, lined up with hundreds of people in the manner of infantry, and used their weapons to open the bushes and searched forward step by step like a comb. Yesterday’s battle was over. Kochli discovered that there was no body of Hasen Rambo,

At that time, the assault caused great chaos in the Gaul army. Many Gauls chose to jump into the rolling river between being trampled to death by war horses and drowning in the river.

"Look for it right away, to see people in life, and corpses in death!"

Thinking of His Majesty Falcon’s thunderous face, Hu Keqili secretly groaned, and immediately ordered the cavalry to search from the lower reaches of the river, and finally found the target more than a dozen miles downstream of the river, and a search team was searching. It was attacked at that time. When the reinforcements saw that they arrived, there were only three left in the ten-person squad, all of them wounded, because the drawing of the target Hasen Rambo had been circulated to the entire army before the battle, and the rest were The three cavalry pointed out with certainty. They were not only attacked by Hasen Rambo, but also two guards and a woman

"The opponent snatched a war horse and ran into the dense forest east of the river"

The blood-covered cavalry leaned back against the tree trunk, covering the wounds, and lying on the ground were the bodies of several Gauls, dressed as generals and attendants. The attacker was not well, and was killed in the counterattack. After four, these desperately guarding the coach to the last attendant. Looking into the distance with bulging eyes,

"Send the teams to move closer to me!"

Hu Keqili rolled up the drawing of Hasen Rambo in his hand. The east side of the river is in the direction of Daniel, and Hasen Rambo is going to flee to Daniel. The cavalry rushed into the woods, and there were flying herons and pheasant doves in the bushes from time to time. The opponent walked in a panic, breaking a lot of branches, stepping on the grass, and faint footprints. There were also blood-stained branches and pieces of clothes. Obviously, not long ago, the target had stayed here. Or bandaged the wound here.

"They have four people. But there is only one horse, and someone was seriously injured! Horses should be used to carry the wounded! Such a team does not run fast, unless the opponent gives up everyone else and runs on horseback. The scout cavalry at the front stood up from these marks. The forest was too dark, and the cavalry couldn't get up fast. While running, he stumbled on the vines, and violently swung the swords to cut the vines, clearing a passable road. In the afternoon, the hunting troops had already entered Danieli's range. The scope of the dense forest is shrinking,

"Add more power. Be sure to catch him!" The cavalry could feel that the target is nearby, and a signal was sent to find the target, and the cavalry hurried to follow.

In a hidden place in the dense forest, Hasen Rambo leaned painfully on the moss-covered tree trunk. His ribs suffered severe arrow wounds. The wounds were infected by jumping into the rapids, and the wounds were fierce and stinging. There are all kinds of chaotic pictures tumbling in his mind. He is in a semi-conscious state, and he can only feel countless figures shaking in front of his eyes, and the world in front of him is beginning to be distorted and deformed, and his consciousness is a little blurred... Fearfully discovered that he had slowly lost the ability to think, which was the precursor to the collapse of his will. It was purely a subconscious reaction,

After running for most of the day, I have exhausted all the energy of the fugitives. I feel that no matter how hard I struggle, I can’t get rid of the ghost hunters behind me. Fortunately, an attendant ran in the opposite direction on a horse. , The chaser behind him was thrown away a long distance; but the traces of the Falcon Army will find their own mistakes, re-adjust the search range, then it will be very dangerous!

"My lord, you have to hold on! There are still more than ten miles to be Dalny." Adjutant Andalin and a servant put him up one after another with a wooden frame, and the tall servant walked in front. Andalen walked behind, Hasen Rambo’s eyes were on Andalen’s face for a long time. There was no beauty in the past. At this time, the hair was covered with fallen leaves and mud, and the pretty face was a little paler. Under the green vines used to bear the wooden frame, there are blood stains oozing from the clothes. When resting, Andalen kept touching his forehead with the wet cloth in her hand, bringing it to the already burned half-conscious Hasen. Rimbaud feels cool

The servants were nervously observing the movement around them, squatting down, holding the servants' daggers in their hands, the Falcon Army’s search capabilities were too powerful, if they knew that many of the cavalry who were retrieving them were Tracking masters on the grassland, just because they are not familiar with the difference between dense forest and grassland harvesting, and passing by them a few times, they will feel how lucky they are.

They have tried hiding in hidden caves, climbing to high places, and even wading in the forest creek, but every time they think they have shaken off the tracking behind them, they have at most one hour behind them. There was a lot of voices and noise, and the chasing became tighter and closer.

Fleeing and chasing are a cruel test of will and physical strength for both parties. But the problem is that one side has almost unlimited physical strength and reinforcements, and can replace those exhausted soldiers at any time and send in a lively force; while the other side has only a few people who are isolated and helpless, no food, no rest, no water... More importantly, there is no hope, Hasen Rambo’s heart is still full of confusion, how could this be, why the cavalry of the Falcon Empire, seems to have known for a long time, ambush themselves on the road and fled to Philip's Sixth Army,

There are definitely no more than five people who know this plan in Danieli,

Everyone is Algernon Katya's confidant and someone he trusts. Is there a problem in it! Hasen Rambo shook his head, which was getting more and more confused because of the high fever. Fingers gripped the soil under the body tightly, and the fingertips felt painful, but this kind of pain was completely incomparable with the inner pain. The feeling of being betrayed in my heart was like the most violent poison in my heart. ,

If, if you know who it is. I must smash it into pieces! For the tens of thousands of subordinates who were unwilling to die! It’s just a little bit. As long as you cross the pontoon bridge, you’ll be safe. However, it’s that little gap. The tens of thousands of soldiers who went home with joy were pushed by countless war horses before their eyes, crushed and turned into one. With an icy corpse, he was dumbfounded at that moment. It was Andalen and a few attendants who pulled herself into the river, undulating along the current, and constantly fleeing. Can not rest for as long as twenty hours. Even with his superhuman and strong will, he couldn't stand this kind of torture. What's more, he was injured by an arrow. In this dense forest, everyone had already lost their way and moved dimly towards the expected Dalny, running without even knowing where he was.

"I can't do it, let's go! Even if the Falcons catch me. They won't kill me!"

Hassenrambo got up hard, moving his numb feet, making them lively. I can feel it, the wound is bleeding again. He staggered a few steps, and almost drove into a tree pit full of rain. If it hadn't been for Andalin's support in time, she was wet. The dense branches seem to consciously drill straight into the wound on the body,

"I will not leave the adults! Because I know that the adults will not let the Falcons catch them alive!" Andalin looked at him affectionately, gritted her teeth with crimson, and suddenly kicked her. Hasen Rambo's other hand, a small shimmering dagger toned on the ground, another kick, kicked the dagger until it could not be found in the grass,

Hassenrimpo’s face was a bit stunned. "You, how did you know!" Andalen said, "Don't forget, hide a small dagger on your waist, and at a critical moment, you can end your life and make your own Honor is not insulted, this is what the adults taught me specially!"

"Attention! The Falcon Army is here!"

The attendant on the sentry whispered, and there was a voice in the distance. The three people who listened had their scalps exploded. They were very close, almost 50 meters away, there was no room to hide, and it was time to choose. At that time, Andalin stood up resolutely, patted the grass clippings on her clothes, and drew out the saber from her waist, "Figdi, I will leave it to you!"

"No, it should be me this time! Your lord needs you!" The attendant, known as Figudi, stood up, stopped in front of her with his hand, and whispered, "My lord needs someone who can support him. No one can replace this point except you!"

"Figdi!"

"Give me your lord's sword! If possible, I might be able to confuse the enemy!"

The attendant glanced in the distance, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and bowed his head to Hasen Rambo, put his hand on his chest and said, "My lord, you must keep going. For those dead brothers, please Continue to fight with the Falcon Army!" With a gust of wind, the attendant quickly ran in the other direction. A cliff can be seen in the distance, and the Falcon Army cavalry, who has approached fifty meters, rushed towards the attendant. Direction away

"Let's go, my lord!" Andalen tried to help Hasen Rambo up,

"Figdi!" Hasen Rambo was full of tears and bit his tongue abruptly. Under the sharp pain, he was awake a lot. Every step is accompanied by piercing pain. He had to bite his clothes so as not to shout, his face twitching: even a strong hero could not bear such terrible torture, and his wounds were burning fiercely. Continuous tearing pain between the chest and abdomen~IndoMTL.com~ I'm so thirsty and my lips are dry. He took Andarin’s hand and smiled at the corner of his mouth. As we walked, the face of the high fever turned dark red. Andalin’s hand was like a piece of ice. This was a sign of severe physical exhaustion.

"My lord, we found the goal!"

The cavalry chasing the target saw the figure jumping off the cliff, and immediately sent people to the bottom of the valley to check. This took some time. Check the rewards of the people. Below is a pile of hard rocks, and people fall from a height. , The whole person was folded into mud, and his face was rotten. The only thing he found was this. The investigator took out a commanding dagger with a sharp sharp edge. The silver-white sword has a gorgeous pattern on the body, which is high. The style of General Lu commanding the sword. Hu Keqili looked ugly while holding the sword. Hasen Rambo was dead. . . . ? Whether it's true or false, I will inevitably get scolded!

"My lord, are you still looking for it?" the Imperial Cavalry asked,

Hu Keqili was silent. He looked at the tired faces of the cavalrymen. They had been in the rain all night, and they had been fighting fiercely for half the night. They continued to struggle with tension. If they continued, it was not as simple as not finding the target. These imperial cavalry still had For the more important combat mission, what everyone needs now is rest. Hu Keqili stopped his eyes on the General Gaul sword in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't look for it, gather, let's return to base camp!"
