Naruto: History of the Warring States Period

Chapter 574

In fact, just as General Stockton had judged, the number of vanguard scout troops of foreign nations in the north exceeded 5,000 this time.

That’s right, there are exactly five thousand people, and these five thousand people are only scattered into five brigade, each with a thousand people. This is also the fact that none of the imperial scout teams can survive after meeting the opponent’s scout team. the reason.

The reason why foreign nations will dispatch so many scouts this time is because in the war 20 years ago, the prairie people suffered a great loss from the imperial scout team. It can be said that the reason why the prairie people would be A large part of the reason for losing the entire war was due to the harassment and sneak attack of intelligence and the imperial scout team.

The prairie people at the time paid too much attention to power and confrontation. They disdain for the scouts, which can only collect intelligence on the battlefield and have been harassed behind enemy lines, but the prairie people later tasted this. The bitter fruit of thought.

After losing that war that year, the prairie people also learned from the pain and worked hard to develop their own scout team.

Moreover, a few years ago, the former King of the Prairie died of illness. Several of his sons fought for the position of the Khan, and set off a civil war on the grassland. It is this war that made the development of scouts on the grassland. The application has been greatly developed.

Moreover, the horses of the scouts on the grassland surpassed the imperial scouts in endurance and explosive power by a lot, which also led to the heavy losses of the imperial scout team this time.

The four thousand-man cavalrymen spent three days and three nights searching the entire northern area of ​​Lelang City on a large scale. They walked across hillsides, over woods, and crossed streams, looking for every suspicious clue. .

Piece by piece of information was quickly sent back to the command headquarters of the Northern Army Corps in Lelang City.

But what is even more puzzling is that these search teams have found some locations that are believed to be likely to be attacked by the scouts, and found some bloodlines remaining on the ground. Fortunately, this is the north. Because of the cold weather, the bloodlines on the ground will not be available for a while. It completely evaporated, but the problem is that they only found the traces of the battle but did not find a corpse, whether it was a horse or a human!

Finally, on the fourth day of the search, a thousand-person search team had driven the searched area to the edge of the grassland, and finally found the enemy!

“Tap…Tap…Tap…”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

A scout group of a thousand-man brigade wearing empire-style clothing is riding a horse galloping in a hilly forest that is extremely close to the grassland.

“Captain, when will this be a head? This damn weather is really…”

A young man who was about seventeen years old rode on his horse and mumbled complainingly on his face.

“Okay, Sandy, now is an extraordinary period. There is going to be war soon. Don’t complain. You have to know that behind us are our family and friends…”

Before the young man had finished speaking, he was interrupted by a middle-aged man beside him with a stern expression in his eyes.

This middle-aged man is the captain of the brigade. His name is Charles, a very common name. However, he is a downright nobleman. According to his father, his family’s ancestors have also been famous and the top of the empire. But over the past millennia, how many powerful families in the empire have declined, and how many new families have risen, and the rise and fall of all these honors and disgrace is just like that.

Charles’s family belongs to the former. When their family declined, they were divided into several branches for their own development. Their branch came to the north to develop. Although so many years have passed, their family members have never given up. After the Fuxing family, it seemed that God made a joke with them.

Originally, their family was expected to be revived again in Charles’s father’s generation. At the time his father was only 35 years old, he was recognized by the commander of the Northern Army Corps and became the deputy commander of the First Division of the Northern Army. For a person with no background, being able to achieve such an achievement at a young age of 35 can prove that this person is a very good talent. If nothing else, such a talent should be transferred at least after the age of 50. Served in the headquarters of the imperial capital.

And this was also his father’s wish at the beginning. As long as he returned to the imperial capital, although he might not have such real power in the north, he would return to the imperial capital where the family’s ancestors haunted his dreams, and even according to his original plan, he It can even regain the title of the empire and make the family a noble again, although it may only be a lifelong system, not a hereditary aristocracy.

However, all these dreams disappeared because of the war twenty years ago. Twenty years ago, Charles was just fourteen years old, and it was the same year that he received the sad news of his father’s death.

Until now, he still remembers that his father told them to wait for his return the night before saying goodbye to him and his mother. He also wanted his son to receive higher education, and he wanted to rejuvenate the family, even though Charles was very unhappy at the time. Understanding his father, he always thinks that his father always talks about the family, and thinks that his father’s days with himself and his mother are always so rare…

However, that night when I looked at my face seriously, it was so deeply imprinted in my mind, and the farewell that night became a farewell forever. Although my father came back, but, It was his father’s cold body that returned.

The one who escorted his father’s body back was General Stockton, who was the commander of his father’s division, and now the commander of the Northern Legion. When General Stockton returned his father’s body, he only said to himself In a word.

“Charles, your father, let me tell you, he is sorry for you, he said, he actually knows your’resentment’ towards him, and he also knows that he should not shoulder the mission of his family ancestors on you, he himself is too much. He is so strong and too proud. He wanted to open it. When he finally died, what he most hopes to say to you is to give up the so-called legacy of the family, to be a happy ordinary person, and to live a peaceful life. it is good.”

Although Charles was expressionless when he heard these words, the silence and perseverance revealed in his eyes surprised Stockton who stood by.

Silent tears flowed down the corner of Charles’s eyes, and the eyes of Charles riding on the horse revealed incomparable perseverance, and secretly said to himself in his heart:

“Father, look, I will fulfill your unfulfilled wish to rejuvenate the family. Certainly, I swear, and this time, Father, that damn northern foreign nation will begin to invade the empire again, one day , I will avenge you, father!”
