Chapter 273 Heading to Ikon

Roger thought, it would be better to go to Yikang to reconcile. If the black gunpowder gets damp on the way, it will be difficult to use.

The key is that when marching, if any Ma Daha accidentally lets the fire source approach black gunpowder, it will be fun.

Roger thought, I wonder if Yikang's city wall could block his "secret weapon"?

At that time, dig a hole under the city wall first, then fill it with black gunpowder, and then light a fire for it. Haha, that must be very spectacular.

At this time, William walked in with a shaky step.

His eyes were blurred and he seemed to have not woken up yet.

Although Roger was very dissatisfied with William's lateness, he was a friendly army and not his subordinate, so he couldn't say anything.

Roger greeted William and sat down.

Then he announced: "We will set out tomorrow morning.

"My plan this time is to go with the first and second echelons."

Roger turned his head and looked after Shana and said, "The third echelon you led will stay in Philomeilim's camp for the time being.

"When I arrive at Yikang, I will send cavalry back to escort you forward."

At this time, William interrupted, "Why aren't we like before?"

“Let my first echelon clear all the obstacles on the road first, and then let the second echelon move forward.

"Isn't this possible to reach under the Yikang wall faster?"

Roger thought, William, have you not suffered enough of the young man in white robe?

He thought, you were ambushed by someone in a good situation before and almost got eaten by someone in one bite.

Now, what to say, "Go clear all the obstacles on the road first", can you really do it?

But Roger did not attack William like this. After all, he was his friendly force, so he had to save some face for him.

Roger said politely: "The second echelon has too few cavalry, and it is not enough to maintain military discipline alone, so you need the help of your cavalry regiment."

William nodded "Yeah, ahhh" and accepted Roger's explanation and arrangement.

Roger continued to announce: “I asked the guide, it is about ten days to walk from Philomeilim to Icon.

"So we can reach the Yikang wall in about ten days.

"Four days after the cavalry returned should be enough.

"Then it was protected by the third echelon and all the supplies and forward with supplies, and another ten days.

"It takes a little more margin to calculate his monthly supply, so the first and second echelons only need to carry one month of supplies. There is no need to bring too much, so that you can move forward with lightweight equipment.

"All other supplies, as well as spoils, remain in the third echelon."

Roger suddenly remembered a question, and he turned to William and asked:

"How do you deal with the Roma you captured? Will you also let the third echelon lead them together?"

William clenched his eyes and said, "I have sold them all to the city lord Melik Shah, and he gave me a lot of gold."

Roger thought it was good.

He thought it would be very troublesome to watch these prisoners and prepare food for them.

It would be even more troublesome if you took the prisoners on the road and you need to prevent them from escaping.

Or replace it with easy to carry gold.

He also thought that these prisoners were all soldiers, and selling them to the city lord could just help the city lord expand his strength and strengthen his strength to resist the Rom rebel Masoud.

Roger felt that this fat city lord was obedient and good at being a human being. With him guarding Fillomirim, he would have a safe way out, which was quite good.

Finally, Roger concluded: "I guess that this time will not be as peaceful as before. The Roma people led by Masoud should attack us, so everyone must be careful."

So the meeting ended and everyone went back to prepare.

At the banquet that night, William was drunk and slept in the city lord's mansion.

Fortunately, William had already given orders to his men before the banquet.

So when he set off the next morning, Roger saw William's personal guard driving a carriage and dragged William out with the hangover.

Finally, I didn't delay the departure time.

So a huge army of more than 100,000 people searched for roads in the Anatolian Plateau, the valley on the surface of the alien planet.

There are pale hills on both sides, endless.

There was almost no grass growing on the bare mountain top.

There are only some scattered weeds and shrubs scattered in the cracks that can accumulate water.

There are trees at the foot of the mountain.

Oak trees with a diameter of 25-40 meters are growing side by side in groups of three or three, with pine trees, pigeons and squirrels foraging there.

There are also small groves composed of hazel and birch trees, 1 meter high shrubs and small trees up to 7 meters.

The itinerary on the first day was very smooth.

But the next day, an accident happened.

When Roger drove his horse and his personal guards, he patrolled the nearly 15 kilometers of marching troops from the front to the back.

Danny brought people and escorted over a dozen low-level soldiers and a slutty entourage to report to Roger:

"The regiment commander, these men did not follow the rules of marching, and there were also many William's cavalry, including a jazz, who also violated the rules of marching."

Roger naturally believed in Danny.

Since Danny said that these people broke the rules, they must have really broken the rules.

But among the people Danny captured, he didn't see any jazz.

He thought that he was very polite to William on weekdays, but marching now was equivalent to going to the battlefield. At this time, orders must be enforced.

He thought that the sir who violated the rules and the cavalry who made mistakes would have to find them out and punish them even if they hid back to William.

Roger asked with a cold face: "I only saw one entourage. Where are the other bad-rules jazz and cavalry you mentioned? Did you go back to William?"

Danny replied: "No, listen to this entourage, those people went to find his horse."

Roger still had to inspect, so he left Muthie to help Danny ask about the incident.

Then he said to Danny: "All those who make mistakes must be punished as required.

"Just performing the execution on this roadside, let all the soldiers marching.

"If you should whip a few times, you can't help but no one can plead with you."

Roger then left.

After a while, Muttier caught up with Roger who had already patrolled the team.

Together, they slowly followed the army forward.

Muttier reported immediately: "The things have been figured out."

"A little deer ran out of the mountain, and it ran into the crowd and ran around.

"The Yankees in the army wanted to capture it, and pursue it from all directions regardless of the orders of their squad leader, the Sicilian soldiers.

"They were happy, as if they were participating in a hunting."

Roger interrupted Mutelyi and said, "A very good beginning of a novel, but Mutelyi, you are reporting on your work. Can you directly talk about the key points?"
