King’s Kingdom

The soldiers are quite quick in their movements, and their long military career has worn away the laziness of everyone. They wash quickly, dine, and then put away pots and pans, put away tents, fences and other items.

Until about 9:20, everything was ready. The camp that was very complete last night had disappeared without a trace and was put away. The soldiers wore armed clothes and took advantage of the coolness of the morning to set foot on the camp. the marching journey.

Another advantage of marching in early summer now is that the daytime is long, and it will gradually get dark until about six o'clock, and the time that can be used for marching is longer than in other seasons.

Walking on the road again, at around eleven o'clock noon, the vanguard crossed a border post in the Lanyin Kingdom and officially entered the territory of the Northern Empire.

However, unlike the Lanyin Kingdom, the Northern Empire did not place patrols on the border. There were still patrols in the past, and I don’t know if they were negligent or removed. In short, there was no accident when they crossed the border.

After a simple lunch, after resting for about half an hour, the army began to march again. It was not until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon that the entire army officially crossed the border between the two countries.

As soon as they left the land of the Lanyin Kingdom, the atmosphere of the entire army changed, and the soldiers became nervous. Although it was not obvious on the surface, each of them was more vigilant.

The soldiers at the bottom all knew that they had to be vigilant when walking on the enemy's territory. Theodosius would naturally not tolerate such a low-level mistake. Two hundred steppe hussars patrolled back and forth at the forefront of the army to ensure that there was no one within 15 kilometers in front of the army. The trail of the enemy.

In addition, the left and right sides are also equipped with grassland hussars cruising in the distance, investigating the enemy's situation, and reporting at all times.

At this time, within the territory of the Northern Empire, groups of light cavalry from the grasslands were running around like the wind. They were either investigating the location of the villages or the guards of the castle. More suspicious, it looks like a convoy delivering food, and they can't escape their eyes.

In addition, they also draw topographic maps with their memory and their own abilities. Although the scale of topographic maps drawn by spatial imagination must be inaccurate, it is better than nothing, and it can be compared with existing maps. Contrast, check for omissions.

And one of the biggest weaknesses of the topographic map is that it only records the map. Where there are villages and where the population is denser, the above records are already out of date. More than 40 years have passed, and even the emperor has changed two terms. Who knows the population Will it migrate.

It is still very important to have information on densely populated areas, because generally speaking, the denser the population, the less difficult it is for the enemy to supply. Although the Northern Empire is currently suffering from food shortages, Theodosius does not think that those gangs **What's the bottom line.

As long as it can meet the needs of the army, as for the civilians, they can reduce the consumption of food if they starve to death. It is no joke that the bandit is like a gang of soldiers. The organized violence of the army is not only far-reaching Higher than bandits and robbers, their efficiency in plundering and looting is also far superior to those of illegal organizations.

The light cavalry on these grasslands move very fast. It is true that the endurance of war horses is not as good as that of some species specially born for long-distance travel, but it is definitely not bad. These light cavalry carry an average of three horses per person, which can be used every day. It travels seventy or eighty kilometers with high efficiency. (In reality, the horse's ability to travel for a long time is not as good as that of a human)

Therefore, they can send some of the intelligence and information they have detected to the place where the army is.

"Grain transport team!" A light cavalryman saw a small convoy in the distance with sharp eyes. He said it was a small convoy, but there were also more than 30 carriages. In addition to the driver, there were also more than a dozen casual guards.

"This is a real grain transportation team!" Several prairie light cavalrymen looked at each other and determined the target situation. Unlike some other caravan carriages, these carriages only had simple flat plates on which were placed There are many sacks, although the distance is relatively far, it is difficult to see how deep the ruts are sinking into the soil, but they all think that this is a military grain convoy.

"Boss, what do you say?" Several people turned their attention to the man with the most prestige.

This man was relatively burly, about 1.8 meters tall, with a very thick beard on his chin, which was braided into four twists. He shook his beard and said viciously: "Done! Come down!"

"In addition to our obligations, we come to join the army to make a fortune. If we kill these people, the spoils will belong to us. If it is really a food delivery team, we will definitely receive the reward. The King of Lanyin is not stingy!"

A few people nodded. Counting the bearded men, there were nine light cavalrymen in this team. They were all equipped with bows and arrows, spears, and sabres, but their equipment was similar to that of the regular army, and their physical fitness was not as good.

Among the nine people, only the bearded man was barely 1.8 meters tall, and the rest were about 1.61.7 meters tall, so they were not burly at all.

And the equipment is also uneven. The bearded man is wearing a full leather vest, and a small piece of chain armor is lined on the chest, but it doesn't look very coordinated. It should be transformed by himself.

Except for him, only three of the remaining eight people can wear a leather vest, and the remaining five people just wear ordinary clothes and furs for protection.

The bearded man holds a spear of about three meters in his hand~www.readwn.com~ This length is barely qualified as a lance, but if it is placed in the knights of the Rhine Kingdom, or even any regular cavalry In the army, not enough to see.

After praising each other, the bearded man said, "Don't care about the others, let's rush up as fast as possible, take advantage of their inability to react, kill the guards first, kill them, and the rest The driver will definitely not dare to resist us!"

The others nodded their heads, placed the remaining two horses, and rushed towards the convoy while riding the grassland horses under their crotch.

Even though there are only nine people, the horses under the crotch are not war horses, nor are they strong enough, but the momentum still made the coachman and guards in the convoy panic.

The bearded man roared, pinched the grassland horse under his crotch fiercely, and rushed towards the convoy at the fastest speed.

The distance between the two sides is only about 200 meters. Even if it is not a war horse, these horses native to the grassland are still quickly approaching the enemy.

"Don't panic! Don't panic! There are few of them! Everyone moves closer to me! Let's kill these bastards!" An officer in full-body chain armor swung a long sword, trying to boost morale, and wanted to command his subordinates to resist.
