Chapter 65 Fighter(2/2)
Then take the land route around to the back of Niu Tu Valley - a wonderful detour.
At that time, what awaits us will be a pincer attack from both front and rear. The Teltun people on the west bank will contain us, and the troops that have detoured back to the east bank will smash us like hammers. The noose has been tightened tighter and tighter, and we
The only way to survive is to defeat the Teltun people on the west bank first.
Although there are many people in Terdun, they are scattered for hundreds of miles along the river; although the generals are vast, they are different in appearance and intrigues; although the coming force is fierce, we still have the strength to fight."
"Some of you are soldiers who have recently been granted land, some are Dusak who have served for generations, some are civilians who have been drafted, and some of you were prisoners a few days ago. It doesn't matter who you were before. From now on, you, me, him,
We are all warriors fighting for our lives and our homes."
Winters pointed to a small boat on the river bank: "Whoever doesn't have the courage to fight this battle, just get on the boat and go back to the east bank - there will be no accountability. Because I don't want to die with such a person -
He is afraid to die with us."
As soon as these words came out, there was a deathly silence in the crowd, and even the sound of breathing gradually became lower.
The tall, thin public opinion representative and the short, fat public opinion representative who had quarreled outside the town hall were also among them. Because they could ride horses, they were both recruited as "young soldiers".
When he heard that he could go back by boat, the tall and thin public opinion representative began to sweat uncontrollably on his forehead.
He once laughed in public at the "kid's fight" battle report in the announcement that "kill nine enemies and injure a few."
But when it was his turn to go to the battlefield, what flowed in his heart was no longer blood, but liquid fear.
Really realizing that you will die and watching people die in announcements are completely different things.
He wanted to move, but his heels felt like they were frozen to the ground. He couldn't explain why he couldn't move. Honor? Dignity? Don't want to be laughed at by the short fat man? The smiles of his daughter and son appeared in his mind.
His granddaughter's cries echoed in his ears.
A hand grabbed the shoulder of the tall and thin representative, squeezed, and then let go - it turned out to be the short and fat representative.
The short and fat representative also looked pale, but nodded slightly to the tall and thin representative.
The tall and thin man meant his eyes were a little moist, and he nodded. The old enemy of more than 20 years had a certain empathy silently.
"From tonight until the end of the world, our bravery will be remembered forever." Seeing no one coming out, Winters mounted the stirrup and said, "Let's go!"
The tall ebony black horse swayed slightly, and Winters sat firmly on the saddle, as if he had grown up on it, and rode north.
The riders mounted their horses and followed closely.
"Follow me closely and I will take care of you." The short and fat representative said urgently to the tall and thin representative.
After speaking, he dexterously put his heavy body on the saddle, carefully adjusted the pleats of his coat, and then stabbed the horse in the ribs and rushed out. The saber scabbard swung with the rhythm of running, reflecting a dim luster in the moonlight.
The tall and thin representative wiped his tears and put his horse to follow.
…
The rumble of horse hooves was like muffled thunder and could not be hidden at all.
The cavalry rode quickly on the west bank, and the beacon towers, watchtowers, and fortresses on the east bank lit up fires in sequence, which was not only a sign of respect, but also a mark of distance.
Winters was galloping at the front, and his flag-bearer Heinrich was behind, holding the military flag high.
Many people who have just learned to ride a horse do not dare to straighten up at all. They lean on the horse's neck tightly, and sometimes some people fall off the horse's back.
Riders must not only be wary of potholes on the road, but also be careful of trampling on their fellow riders who have fallen off their horses.
Some horses carry two people - one who can ride a horse and one who cannot ride a horse. There are also several slave horses on the saddle.
There was only one thought in everyone's mind: follow that flag.
At their most ferocious, the Teltons raided twenty-three times a day and night. The two farthest river crossing points were nearly 60 kilometers apart, and several times they even sent small groups of light cavalry ashore.
The defenders of Tiefeng County were exhausted, but at the same time, the Telton people's camp was also torn apart.
However, forces are unpredictable, and once the relationship between offense and defense is reversed, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will arise.
Winters Montagne's responsibility is not to let opportunities slip away.
Winters keenly observed that the number of braziers on the watchtower on the other side changed from one to two.
"Disperse!" The agreed signal has appeared, and Winters drew his saber: "This is it!"
After climbing over the hillside, a small Teltown camp came into view.
Winters rode down.
The cavalry shouted and followed.
