The opening kaleidoscope writing wheel eye: the war on the top

Chapter 443 Weapon Equipment
On the morning of the third day, the rebel army camp, Hanan and others arrived as promised, but Hicks did not follow, saying that there were other important matters, but he had prepared a lot of supplies for Hanan, and Hanan did not refuse this time.

Kosha attached great importance to this trip. Not only did he send his confidant general Farafola, but he also deployed an army of more than 1000 people, all of whom were elites from the old camp.

Kosha personally sent them out of the camp, and before leaving, he also told them to find a right-hand man no matter what.

Hanan and the others followed in the army, rode military camels and war horses, and left the north gate of Katriya.

As soon as I left the city, I saw more than a dozen cauldrons erected at the city gate, surrounded by hundreds of refugees at each place, and there were rebel soldiers responsible for maintaining order, which was considered orderly.

The team moved forward slowly, approaching the surrounding area of ​​Katriya, still within the scope of the oasis, Hanan saw many fields and villages on both sides of the road.
There are many busy farmers in the fields, and spontaneously formed small markets can be seen from time to time, which shows that this place has not been affected by the flames of war, and the lives of the people are still normal.

Seeing the long marching team, the nearby people were a little flustered at first. When they saw the rebel flags, instead of avoiding them, they surrounded both sides of the road, smiling and pointing from time to time. Obviously, this was not the first time they saw them.

The rebel soldiers held their heads high and looked straight, showing the demeanor of a strong army. Several logistics personnel also distributed some candies and other things to the children who were watching, causing bursts of cheers.

Seeing such a scene, Hanan has a deeper understanding of the rebel leader Kou Sha.

Not to mention whether this person has the ambition to get involved in power, but judging by the behavior of his direct troops, even if he is not an expert in governing the country, he still has the ability to govern a place.

Moreover, he has a high attainment in grasping people's hearts, coupled with his youthfulness, he is indeed a rare talent.

Going all the way, getting farther and farther away from Katriya, what you see is different.

There are more and more beggars and homeless people on the road, almost blocking the road. There are relatively few families with children and daughters, and they are basically strong men and women.

Farafula explained to Hanan: "These are those who fled from the north, especially the area south of the capital 'Albana', where the drought is severe, many villages have no crops, and there is a war, so they can escape here Yes, there are only some young and strong left."

Hanan didn't ask what would happen to the old and the weak, women and children. The outcome was obvious, and the few of them remained silent. In the face of natural disasters and wars, it is always the common people who suffer.

Jessica and Harvey couldn't bear to look at these sallow and emaciated refugees, and donated a lot of food and water.

Seeing that more and more people were following, Farafola hurriedly stopped them, saying that this would only slow down the process, and sent some soldiers to drive away the refugees, allowing him to go to Catrea.

By the way, carry out some publicity and education, and when it comes to over there, as long as you join the rebel army, you can eat and drink, and you can live a good life after making military exploits.

After the army marched for more than an hour, the road gradually became dilapidated, and some sections of the road had been eroded by the desert. Falafola sent several teams of reconnaissance cavalry to start reconnaissance ten miles ahead of the team.

Hanan rode his horse to Farafula's side and said, "Farafula, I heard from Kosha that the city of 'Dia' is not far away."

"Well, that's right. The city of 'Dia' is probably in the middle of Katrea and Albana. If you march quickly, you can reach it in four hours, but the premise is to leave the baggage and march lightly."

Yu Nan, concerned about his right-hand man, suggested: "Since it's not far, why not speed up?"

Farafola said solemnly: "Kosa has sent out men before, but as soon as they entered Dia City, there was no news. This operation is to find his right-hand man and his army.

There is likely to be a war, and if I am not careful, I am afraid that I will be ambushed. "

Hanan didn't know anything about marching and fighting. Hearing that Farafola was so cautious, his heart froze, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Although the march was very steady, it was a well-trained army after all. Compared with the last journey with the Hicks caravan, the speed was much faster.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, a sentry came back and reported that there was nothing unusual ahead, and that the city of Dia could be reached within ten kilometers. Shift in the outer northeast direction.

Farafula frowned when she heard this. Not long ago, there was a good news from the left and right arm, saying that the city had been broken, but now the king's army appeared, indicating that something must have happened.

Farafula immediately ordered the whole army to repair on the spot, and after recovering some physical strength, they would speed up and arrange elite sentry cavalry to approach and investigate, and report immediately if there was any abnormality.

The sentry cavalry just left for a while, and another cavalry came back. He was covered in wounds, and the horse was also seriously injured. There were two blood holes on the horse.

It seemed that he had been hit by a musket and was bleeding profusely. As soon as he arrived, the war horse neighed, its hooves gave way, and it fell to the ground.

The cavalryman was dizzy from the fall, but he was in good physical condition. With the support of Farafola's personal soldiers, he got up quickly.

"Fa, Farafula, sir, sir," the cavalryman was out of breath, unable to speak completely, drank a few sips of water, adjusted his breath for a while, and hurriedly said: "Our team was ambushed in the east of Dia City, the opponent is King's Army."

Farafula's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "How many people are there?"

"No, I'm not sure, the one who intercepted us, about, about [-] people, should be elite scouts, ten brothers, I was the only one who escaped and reported."

"What else did you find?"

"Their purpose seems to be to prevent our army from going to the hills in the northeast direction. I also heard the sound of guns and shouts of killing over there."

After listening to the report from the cavalry, Falafola had someone take him down for treatment, and asked Hanan to enter a temporary military tent.

"Hanan, according to my speculation, there must be a battle going on in the hills to the northeast. It is very likely that the right and left armies are trapped. I plan to lead a team to check,"

Although Hanan didn't know how to fight, Falafola only spoke half of what he said, and he must have something to say, so he asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Farafula said solemnly: "The sentry cavalry just now is the most elite scout horse in my rebel army. In the past, even if he encountered an enemy several times his size, he could retreat unscathed.

Now only one person came back, the enemy is definitely the king's trump card army, our army only has a thousand people, this battle is not easy to fight, I am afraid it is a trap. "

Hanan thought that Farafula was timid, so he deliberately said coldly: "Then don't care about their brothers?"

Farafula frowned, and said displeasedly: "When did I say that? The right-hand man is also an important cadre of my rebel army, how can I just ignore death?"

Hanan's temptation was answered, and he quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry, please forgive me."

Farafula's expression eased, and he continued to analyze: "I mean, the right-hand man may be there, but he may not be there.

Although the sentry reported that there were not many kings in the city of Dia, but I have to be on guard. I am worried that there will be ambushes in the city. If I am attacked by two sides at that time, I am afraid that the situation will be worse, so..."
