Chapter 52 Blood Rain (1)
The sound of gurgling water in the mountain stream makes the forest look quieter
The afterglow of the sunset shines on the tips of the woods, dragging out a long tail
Whether it is the returning birds or the foraging beasts, they avoid this quiet valley in the past
Because the empty canyon in the past is now full of people and bustle. This is the temporary location chosen by the fat man.
The light cavalry unloaded heavy stirrups from the horse's back, allowing the horse to relax and relax, lower their heads to drink the flowing stream water, and took out all kinds of weapons and equipment from the weapon grooves on the horse's crotch, and placed them carefully on the ground.
Use the cotton cloth moistened by the stream to gently wipe the bright blade. The cautious expression on his face is like admiring his beloved woman.
"A cavalry that does not care about its own weapons and war horses is not a good cavalry."
This is what the general training officer Caesar Zoro said the most when he was training this new light cavalry.
Marquis Dostan, the commander of the legion, was reviewed later, and this sentence was well supplemented by
"Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers, and those who don't care about weapons are not even soldiers! If you want to establish a great military honor, without a handy weapon, there is no way to talk about everything!"
During the day, a scout was besieged and killed by peasants under the command of the Rhevading nobles and spread throughout the Light Cavalry regiment. Although the first troop that rushed to the next killed all the peasants, the nobleman was dragged back like a dead dog,
But this still cannot wash away the shame in the hearts of the proud light cavalry. From the return team leader, the light cavalry knew something even more shocking.
"The city of Jiwading is rebelling! The commander of the legion will be about to attack Jiwading tonight to suppress the rebels. The light cavalry regiment will become the first Samoy army to enter Jiwading, and use the sword in his hand to cut off the head of the rebels."
This made all the light cavalry happy
Just after dinner, the light cavalry began to prepare for the evening operation.
Some squatted by the stream and carefully polished their thick-backed sabers with whetstones. Some used the stream to clean the dirt of war horses, carefully checked their weapons, and then put them into the weapon slots of war horses one by one.
All this is for the best condition at night
An unspeakable depression flows in the canyon air, and the originally clear sky is covered with dark black clouds
This is a sign before the heavy rain comes
The light cavalry were asked to unravel the bells of the war horses and fix all the equipment that could make noise.
The first wave of 50 most elite guard cavalry responsible for sneak attacks asked the four hooves of the war horse to wrap thick cotton cloth, and all equipment that might affect speed were taken down.
One man, one horse, one knife, and even the armor on his body was taken down. It was all the objects of these 50 guard cavalrymen.
Speed became the key to this night attack
A series of murderous temporary military orders were read out from the parchment in the hand of the team leader
The loud noise, kill
Those who talk without permission, kill
Those who expose their whereabouts, kill
......
Fourteen murderous military orders are the military rules for night attacks that Fatty just issued just temporarily.
Those military orders containing murderous intent stimulate everyone's nerves
tonight
His own sword will wave deadly cold lights on the head of the rebels, and all enemies will tremble in front of him.
All the light cavalry listened to the military rules with excitement, and their bodies were filled with passion.
In the "Wartime Act" just issued by Satsuma
Those rewards about military achievements flashed in the minds of the light cavalrymen.
Kill one person and reward one silver luke!
Kill ten people and reward one gold Luke, and be promoted to the captain!
Kill thirty people and become guard cavalry. You can choose any piece of land in your village that does not need to pay taxes and give it to your senior warrior status
Glory, money, land, chance to rise to the guard cavalry, chance to marry the most beautiful woman in the village, and chance to get rid of the peasant status forever...
These originally unattainable hopes suddenly surged to the light cavalry who had just trained for a month.
"My dear Lisa, just tonight, I will use you to become a more famous person in the village, who is more prestigious than the new master of Sak."
The light cavalry Kyris carefully wiped his beloved back knife for the third time, muttering to himself excitedly,
"A man's blood is a fame!"
There are many light cavalrymen with such dreams
The sky is gradually dimming, and the last arc of the setting sun sank into the distant sky,
All the light cavalrymen began to get restless
The fat man held a dead grass root in his mouth and leaned against a fork on a crooked tree. At the root of the tree was lying leisurely Caesar Solon,
The fat man is waiting for Crolisart's Eighth Infantry Regiment,
2,000 light cavalry can easily crush 1,500 light infantry on the plains.
However, in urban street fighting, 1,500 light infantrymen relying on defense can easily block the charge of more than 3,000 cavalrymen
The city's sturdy buildings, well-connected layout
This is destined to be the world of infantry
Fat people don't do such a foolish thing as losing money
Suddenly, a violent mountain wind whizzed past the fat man in a roll.
The blowing branches swung up and down, but the fat man was gentle like a small branch, and his fat body miraculously did not slide down the tiny trunk.
Caesar Soro was stunned when he looked at this strange scene. He didn't expect that the silly fat man in his heart would have such a magical side.
A drop of water fell from a high altitude on the fat man's nose, crushing to pieces in front of the fat man's eyes
A dull thunder sound came from the sky
The fat man looked at the sky that was almost dark on his head, jumped off the crooked tree branch, spit out the dead grass in his mouth on the ground, and smiled at Caesar Zoro with a proud look on his face.
"Hehe, look, I'm right. God is standing by our side. There will be rain when the wind blows, and a heavy rain will soon be here!"
Caesar Zoro looked at the fat man with an excited face and was about to get up to argue with the fat man.
"Boom!" Thunder sounded in the sky, and a sharp lightning flashed across the sky
A figure led by the guards cavalry into the canyon, and was the commander sent to contact the Eighth Infantry Regiment of Crolisat at noon
The commander came to the fat man, put his right hand flat on his chest and saluted him respectfully.
"The Legion Commander, the Eighth Infantry Regiment of the Commander of Crolisat, has arrived at the Sakiel Forest ten miles away from Jiwading as required. Just wait for the signal from Jiwading, you will immediately lead your army into Jiwading City!"
"Okay, okay, okay, what a night of dark and windy killing!"
The fat man smiled arrogantly when he heard the commander's words, and excitedly said three good words, then turned to the guard beside him.
"Immediately send an order for the entire army to assemble! The first wave of assault troops set off!"
"Woo, woo"
The low and long gathering horn ignited the fire of fighting that burned in the hearts of all the light cavalrymen.
Light cavalry Kerry excitedly inserted his beloved "Lisa" into the scabbard. It rained heavily in the sky. Large raindrops slapped on Carry Kerry's face, and the unextinguished passion burned in Carry Kerry's chest.
"Tonight, I will be a real cavalryman!"
The sudden storm not only made the sky darker, but the defenseless defender of the Rivadin city wall was soaked into a drop of chicken in the heavy rain.
They hid in the arrow tower or the passage inside the city wall to shelter from the rain. Large raindrops hit the stones on the city wall, and white splashes appeared.
The dense raindrops were like beating war drums, and all the guards left the battlements to shelter from the rain.
Of course no one would notice the dense sound of raindrops mixed with strange noises. A group of black shadows in the distance rushed towards Hivading like hungry wolves.
Since Jiwading is a characteristic of a commercial city, merchants often transport goods at night, the city gates are not closed at night as usual, and only a dozen ordinary guards in leather armor were arranged to guard them.
The black shadow in the rain hid in the shadow of the outer city wall and moved quickly towards the northern city gate of Rivading. This is a route that the fat man had sent people to explore. Since there were no defenders on the city wall, and the outer edge of the city wall was the dead corner of the city gate. Moving in the shadow of the city wall, no one could find this sudden cavalry.
The leader of the guard cavalry captain Sa He En saw that the target of this raid was at the corner. He could even see two city guards nestling in the city road and chatting listlessly. Excitedly, Sa He En pulled out his thick back sword and pointed at the city gate passage, turned his head and shouted to the guard cavalry following behind him.
"Assault with all your might, you must seize the city gate!"
"Swish" a flash of light flashed, and a uniform sound of drawing swords came from behind. "Enemy...
Before the two guards at the city gate could shout out the alarm, they were chopped to the ground by the swords that passed through the hands of the light cavalry.
