Power and Empire Chapter 3685: The Return of the King (23)
Horseshoes splashed into the mud. A team of Rila patrol cavalry was swiftly moving from east to west, following the direction of the border river, patrolling and guarding this surging river
"If you get to the outpost, you have to take a few whips from that **** Carlin. It's such a rainy day. What is it for the brothers to run so far!" An army commander on the side of Rila gave a frustrated look. Looking at the distance under the rain curtain, the horse and horse club is covered in mud, the armor is full of rain, and it is wet and heavy. Although it may be because the river is swollen and the road is cut off, this is not the reason why there is no news for two days. The river in the whole area does not rise, and this is not the only one. Others are coming from the river. There are also three or four people being swept away by the rapids. It can be special when it comes to Kalin.
"Captain, the pontoon in front of us has collapsed. If we continue to move forward, we will have to forcibly walk past, but under such rain, it is difficult to guarantee that no brothers will be injured."
A subordinate was covered in rain and covered his eyelids with his hands. After looking around, he whispered with an ugly face. The rainstorm came so urgently, it was almost a whole day and night, and it violated the direction of Carlin outpost. According to the rule of reporting once a day, the Eighth Regiment of the Rila Frontier Army stationed here did not care at first, thinking it was the delay caused by the heavy rain, but two days later, there was still no news about the direction of the Kalin outpost, so it had to Attracting the attention of the Eighth Regiment of the Border Army, this patrol cavalry was immediately dispatched. In such a heavy rain, it was pulled out from the warm camp in the middle of the night, and came directly here in a violent storm. It was replaced by no one. Will be in a good mood,
"This rain is coming too much. Let's walk down the river. The downstream of this river leads directly to the Kingdom of Bion. If there are brothers being rushed to Bion, I am afraid it will be a little troublesome."
The military commander raised his right hand and wiped the rain off his face. He carefully looked at the river which was three times wider than usual. The vast expanse in front of him made his eyes hot. The Land of Three Rivers is what the people of Rila call this place, and the meaning it represents, I am afraid that only Rila can remember it
The rivers here are vertical and horizontal, and the terrain is flat. Even ordinary people know how fertile the land is, but here you can’t see the scene of plentiful fertile fields, but large tracts of weeds spreading because it is a land of three rivers. It is a battlefield that concerns the fate of Central Europe several times. Why the weeds here are so dense, because every inch of the land here has been irrigated by human blood
At most, there used to be three to four hundred thousand troops strangling here. More than a hundred years ago, the Hungarians from the East swept Central Obaro like a hurricane, and the Bian people were known as the lord of Central Europe. Gathered a total of 350,000 armies from other countries, they were trampled by the rushing Hungarian cavalry into pieces of meat here, and even the Central European and Baro nations were in danger in front of the Hungarians. As a result, the Aung people lost their position as the lord of Central Europe and turned from prosperity to decline. But what really made the Bion people bow their heads in front of the Rila people was 24 years ago when the Rila Kingdom and the Bion people tried to **** In this land, the Rila people took the lead and attacked the 110,000 elite garrison troops led by the famous Bionman Du Yali, who is known as Bion’s Spear.
The battle lasted for four full days. It was really like a mountain of corpses, and blood flowed into rivers! It is said that the dead bodies of both sides even blocked the Three Rivers. It is hailed as the most tragic battle in Central Europe. In the end, Rila won the bet. With 110,000 casualties, he finally beheaded the famous Bianman Du. Yari, the Bion’s army killed more than 90,000 in the battle. He pressed down the head of the Bion who had just ascended. That battle completely established the position of the Rilla as the leader of Central European Baro. The kingdom of Bion can't lift its head in front of the Rila people until now
As long as the Land of Three Rivers is in the hands of the Rila people, the Bian people can be suppressed strategically. During the Hungarian Rebellion, King Owit of Rila had to abandon the Land of the Three Rivers in order to shrink his forces. Returning to the country for rescue, the Bion Kingdom took the opportunity to occupy the Three Rivers again. Fortunately, the Bion people went mad and raised the flag of treason against the empire. The Rila Kingdom took the Three Rivers back without any effort. The Corps has a total of 40,000 troops stationed here. You must know that the entire Kingdom of Ruila is now full of battles, that is, one hundred thousand people, or a new army of thirty thousand youths has been reorganized to expand the force to more than 130,000.
And here, Owitt suppressed a third of the kingdom’s forces
Not only because of the importance of the land of the Three Rivers, but also because it is the pride of the Rila people
Now that the Kingdom of Rila wants to become the head of Central Europe again, it must show enough strength. If it can't control the land of three rivers, it still talks about becoming the head of Central Europe again! Moreover, the Rila people have another calculation. As long as the empire begins to crusade against the Kingdom of Bian, I can take advantage of the rivers of the Land of Three Rivers and go down the river to seize the large tracts of land west of the Kingdom of Bian. In order to seize the opportunity, the Rilla Army even repaired the outpost to Genoati, five miles in the Kingdom of Bion, which is the location of the Kalin outpost, the final target of the Rila patrol cavalry.
In such a sensitive position, the news was cut off for two days, and the patrol captain had to think about it. It stands to reason that the Bian people should not dare to come out since the empire has been in the state of the Southern Obaro Order. Both have won the battle for hegemony in the South. The Bion people used to show their faces occasionally, but now they can’t even see their personal shadows. Although the Kalin outpost is close to the front, it is composed of nearly a hundred elites, and Ten miles away from Kalin Outpost, there are still two outposts. The three outposts have a total of 500 troops. It is not easy for the Bion to eat these three nails silently. But now, there is no news at the three outposts. If it is just because of the heavy rain and the flooding, some are too self-deceiving. They are all soldiers who have been exposed to the wind and rain. They are not so delicate!
Along the river, naturally, I was looking for the narrowest location for swimming. This was originally a too humid and cold summer. The swimming was even colder, like an ice cellar. The soaked captain of the cavalry was after stepping into the river. At the first glance, I couldn't help but shiver, and his pale face appeared whiter. In the handful of chaotic grass that the river torrent collided in front of me, a few corpses could be seen floating, which had been soaked and white and swelled. , Like white square floating balls, where are they entangled by water weeds, and they are constantly mounted on the river beach by the current. With the vortex undulating, the familiar armor is only the first glance. The captain of the patrol cavalry can already be sure of this. It’s a Rilla soldier
"Are they from Carlin Squadron?"
"I don't know, but we are definitely from Rila"
The eyes of the cavalry behind were a little red, and their hands unconsciously grasped the hilt of the knife. There was a sense of cursing at first. At this moment, they all held their breath. I was rushed here by the torrent of rain, and I am afraid that the Kalin Watchtower is very bad luck. You must know that the rain fell only yesterday, and there was no news from Kalin Watchtower the day before yesterday. Everyone An ominous feeling arose in her heart
"It may be a messenger!" The captain of the patrol cavalry looked back from the position of the whirlpool next to the body with an ugly face, murmured, and his face was even harder to see the extreme. If it was the ruling that was intercepted in the river. Cavalry, it’s no wonder no news came back in two days, because it was told that the cavalry was dead halfway through. It would be unwise to salvage the corpse at this time. People are already dead. What are they doing? And they’re in such a rapid flow. The water was flooded to the height of the horse's belly, and if you were not careful, you would be rushed to somewhere you don’t know. Moreover, the corpses soaked in corruption are most likely to cause plague. I am afraid that the water in this river cannot be drunk anymore
The cavalry captain glanced around, and the dangling weeds blocked everything in the distance. The cavalry captain's heart couldn't help but tighten. The only role of the opponent to intercept and kill the cavalry was to prevent the news of Carlin Squadron from being passed back, or It is hard to say that the Carlin squadron has been destroyed. This idea makes the cavalry captain feel cold. The 500-man Carlin squadron also has a solid guard tower barrier. It can’t be done without a force of more than 3,000. As far as the wiped out, look around, there is only one person who can put such forces in this wilderness at once, Bion! The Bion have once again sent troops to the Land of Three Rivers! This is absolutely incredible!
"Sura, you immediately report the situation here to the camp, and the others will continue with me"
The captain of the patrol cavalry has a firm face and keeps a cool head at the critical moment. He is indeed an elite Rilla who has experienced several wars. Even if he knows that the Bion’s army may have entered the Land of the Three Rivers, continue at any time. It may be encountered, but in order to understand the situation of the Carlin squadron, he still chose to move forward. Although Genatia is the land of the Bion, it is nothing terrible. I am a cavalry. If you really encounter Bion People, just run away! No matter how large the number of Bion’s army is, what can we do with us! , The cavalry captain cheered up his men loudly. After an hour, the cautious patrol cavalry finally entered Genatia
The rain in front of me washed away the dirt on the leaves, and made the vast grasses in front of me look verdant. Horseshoes stepped into the mud on the ground and splashed water. Although they were advancing in the rain, the speed was very fast. The sound was very quiet, all the patrol cavalry lay on their horses. No one spoke, only the faint sound of horses neighing,
"The Kalin guard tower is in front, and the others are scattered around." The captain of the patrol cavalry straightened up and issued an order after confirming that the surroundings are safe. "The heavy rain destroyed everything. We can't know if there is a Bion army nearby." , If you are really targeted, do you know if you turn around and run immediately?"
"Yes, Captain." The other cavalry nodded like a huge fan. When the captain of the patrol cavalry came to the guard tower, all they saw were the corpses piled up in front of the guard tower. These corpses seemed to be deliberately paved with guard towers. At the door, the white flowers with stripped armor were entangled together. In front of the pile of corpses, the corpse of a middle-aged man wearing the armor of the Rila Army was tied to a wooden stake, and the corpse did not know how many were hit. The arrow was shot so thinly that it was nothing like an adult. He still held a sword in his hand, and the flag of the Rila Squadron, which was invaded by human blood, hung diagonally on the wooden railing, and the rain washed away. It's bloody, but the sight is suffocated so that people can't breathe.
"It's the Captain of Carlin Squadron! The Rila cavalry all around let out a mournful scream, everyone's mind is that Carlin Squadron is finished!
"Everyone check the surroundings, and then bury them." The cavalry captain said with a red-eyed tremor. The cavalry quickly checked the outpost, and a puzzling situation was discovered. The bodies of five war horses were found in the stable, and the entire Carlin Squadron was equipped with five fast horses. In other words, it was not Carlin Squadron’s messenger cavalry who died in the river.
This discovery made everyone's heads bewildered. Everyone looked at the captain of the cavalry. The captain of the cavalry was also sweating on his forehead. This is a bit stressful.
"Not the messenger cavalry of Carlin Squadron, are you sure?"
"It's not wrong. We counted the horses. All five horses are there. The opponent cut the horse's neck directly. It should be to prevent someone from escaping, and the mark on the horse's **** indicates that it is the horse of Carlin Squadron. , And when we were burying the body, we found the body of the messenger. That is to say, it was surrounded by the enemy and then destroyed, so that the messenger cavalry did not have time to run to the stable."
"Are you saying that the Bjorns really used a large army just to deal with a squadron? Someone questioned after a while
""Or what other goals are hard to say." The self-talking voice of the subordinates who came to the report made the captain of the cavalry really want to kick this **** to death. Did you know to throw this serious matter to the officer? What an impolite behavior
"Captain, we found traces of the army's actions on the east side of the guard tower. It should be the enemy who attacked the Carlin guard tower, but I don’t know why. After the enemy attacked the Carlin guard tower, they seemed to rush towards the east. Drive in, the number of traces is amazing!"
A patrol cavalry came running out of breath, and the rain could not conceal the traces of the day and night. This is at least possible for an army of tens of thousands, tens of thousands. . . . . A Carlin squadron was destroyed. The cavalry captain's face was pale and fearful. His head was numb in the weird situation. The Bjorns used a large army to destroy the Carlin tower, and then turned to the east. This shows the Bjorns. The real goal is the east, but what is the east?
"Everyone gathers, let's go to the east." The captain of the cavalry ran towards his horse, and ran to the east when he stepped on the horse. There was a large black cloud to the east, which made the captain's scalp numb. The reason for this, based on experience, the cavalry captain knows that it’s not a dark cloud, it’s a vulture. Such a large number of vultures themselves are enough to explain the problem.
Vultures are scavengers. So many people died in the Carlin Watchtower, and there was no vulture coming here~ IndoMTL.com~ is enough to show that the feast over there is better than here.
The weeds drenched by the rain in front of me were obviously trampled, most of them hanging down in the mud. After running along the traces towards the east for more than half an hour, a wilderness soaked in blood appeared. In front of me, countless streams are all red
"My God!" The captain of the cavalry slammed the horse, the boss with wide pupils, and the cavalry behind him were in chaos. Some of them even fell off the horse and rolled in the mud because of excessive force. , But there was no pain at all. Everyone was shocked. Just in front, under the grass under their eyes, there were corpses in broken armor everywhere. A line was spread out, hundreds of meters apart, the air The strong smell of rotting corpses in the middle is unbearable. The dense spears and spears are densely packed, covering the edge of the earth, and a remnant flag stands obliquely in the rain washing, the bunting on it has long been Rolled soggy on the flagpole, it was even more cold and broken, and the words on it were faintly visible. The flag is still here. Below the flag is a pile of corpses. Large groups of corpse-eating vultures are still throbbing the world in the rain, one after another, screaming as if to celebrate their good luck
"It seems to be the banner of the Youth Army!"
"Why did the youth army die here? This is a youth army of 30,000 people! "The voice of the captain of the cavalry is almost hysterical, resounding through the wilderness
