Chapter 21 Before the War
[End of the God Station] Remind book lovers to remember: the website website: www.xinwanben.com Remember for a second and never lose it!
The team is advancing slowly and neatly. Locke is riding on the horse to adjust his state. This is going to war, and people will die. Therefore, every time Locke adjusts his state before the battle, he has seen more than one time stronger than him. The person who died in the hands of the weak and weak, in his opinion, this is abnormal performance, resulting in the loss of his own life, he does not want to be such a person, so he must try his best to make his own strength play.
The war horse was selected by the logistics department after he was promoted to the squadron commander. Each squadron commander had a war horse of his own. Under the guidance of Uncle Yosak, Locke chose a maroon war horse. The life of a warhorse is more expensive than human life these days. Such a warhorse can at least be exchanged for a full-body armor worth 80 silver coins, and it is priceless. If the person wearing the war armor dies, the war armor can be taken off and continue to be used. When a horse is dead, there is no place to replenish it, which is why the baron sits in a cavalry squadron and only gives the squadron leader a first-class horse.
"Drive, drive" Locke rode on a horse to check in his squadron. It is very important for the soldiers to start fighting. He is now appearing in front of his soldiers. The purpose is to let the soldiers know that their squadron leader is near them.
"Brother Locke, when can we get to the city of France?" It was Gulas who was speaking. This was a big man with a bushy beard and a sturdy physique. Among the people Locke knew, he was also the physique of Uncle Yosak. One size stronger than him. He was transferred from the No. 1 Squadron. He used to be the team leader. Now he is the team leader of the No. 1 team of their squadron. After a few days of getting along, Locke felt that he was a good friend.
"The troops are marching fast, and they will arrive this evening at this speed." Locke thought for a moment and said.
"Ah, doesn't that mean there will be a battle tomorrow?" After saying that, Gulas curled his lips with regret.
Locke glanced at him, "Nonsense, go to besiege the city tonight, repair it overnight, and start in the early morning tomorrow." Locke said, he could see that Gulas was a militant, and he didn't waste his size. , I don't know how crazy this guy is going to fight.
Locke still didn't say a word. The reason why they will attack the city tomorrow is because they have to join up with the Baron of Kashir first, otherwise the loss of attacking the city with the strength of only one baron will be too great. Don't look at the regular army of the Charlo Kingdom being defeated by them, but the rotten ship also has three pounds of nails, not to mention that the city of France is said to be a baronial city.
At 2:00 noon, hundreds of infantrymen in the woods by the road were sitting neatly in a circle with the team as the benchmark, and dozens of cavalrymen galloped past on the plank road from time to time. Baron Kaidozi and several squadron leaders were sitting on a huge tree stump discussing something. The dark yellow tree stump was densely packed with rings, showing that the tree that had just been cut down had a long lifespan. .
At this moment, several cavalrymen came roaring, and one of the leading cavalrymen quickly dismounted as they approached Baron Kaidozi and others, and then held hands to lead the order. "How is it, when will Baron Kashir and the others arrive?" Baron Kaidoqi obviously lost his patience and asked with a little anger.
"My lord, Baron Kashir's troops are expected to arrive in half an hour," the cavalry reported.
The baron waved him down.
Several people present felt a little irritable in their hearts. "This guy!" The bad-tempered people even complained. Although Baron Kaidozi appeared calm at this time, those who knew him knew that this was a precursor to the baron's anger.
"Da da da..." There was a sound of horses' hoofs, and finally, Baron Kashir's troops arrived.
"All stand up, reorganize the army!" The team leaders received orders in advance, and immediately organized the members of their team, and then the team belonged to the squadron, and the squadrons were closely connected. In just a few minutes, a five-column army formation took shape. The cavalry squadron also called out under the command of the commander, and marched forward like a thunderbolt.
When Baron Kashir led his soldiers to arrive, what he saw was this iron-blooded army. Baron Kashir stepped forward to greet Baron Kaidoqi with a smile, "I'm sorry, I was blocked by a group of refugees on the road, so I'm late." Although it was an apology, Baron Kashir squinted and smiled, without a trace of apology. Feel.
"It doesn't matter, we didn't wait long. This time we have to look up to you, brother." Baron Kaidozi didn't look as angry as before, and complimented with a smile.
"Every time I see your troops, I can't help but envy. It's a heroic division." Baron Kashir looked at the soldiers around him, but his eyes were always on the cavalry not far away.
Baron Kashir also had cavalry, but there were only a dozen cavalry following him at this time, which was his personal guard.
"Don't dare, don't dare." Baron Kaidozi said modestly.
The two began to chat freely, as if they had no intention of leading the army to set off immediately.
Locke saw that most of the soldiers brought by Baron Kashier were infantry, and the number was quite large. It was estimated that there were more than 600 people, and there were only more than ten cavalry. They were all near Baron Kashier, and they seemed to be close protection. It seems that both adults have taken out the bottom of the box this time, because the two have cooperated several times, and Locke also roughly knows how many soldiers Baron Kashier has.
Different from the orderliness of Baron Kaidoqi's soldiers, although Baron Kashir has more infantry, most of them are relatively sloppy. Locke observed that some of the soldiers under the Baron did not even hold the gun correctly. They were recruits who had just joined the army, and some of them had dark faces, hunched waists as if they had just come down from the fields. If you look at them alone, you can't see anything, but compared with the soldiers under Baron Kaidoqi, they made a high judgment. .
Baron Kaidoqi and Baron Kashir finally finished their chat, and Baron Kashir was still smiling, facing Baron Kaidoqi.
He said, "It's getting late, let's go."
"Well, let's go." Baron Kaidoqi said, and with a wave of his hand, all the squadron leaders returned to their squadrons and led the soldiers to start along the plank road.
The Baron of Kashir also ordered the army formation a little and started to set off. Baron Kashir also found the gap between the soldiers on both sides, but he just frowned and continued to chat and laugh with Baron Kaidoqi. Both of them had special personnel leading their horses and walked side by side in the middle of the team.
Locke's squadron is at the end of their army formation, connected to Baron Kashir's troops, but he couldn't hear what the two barons were talking and laughing about, but it was nothing more than chatting about the private affairs of a certain lady in the capital, or talking about What good things have been captured. "The nobility's interest..." Locke shook his head.
There are many familiar faces of Locke in Baron Kashier's army, all of whom have fought together before. Those who knew Locke looked at Locke's dress at this time, how could they not know what happened, and they all showed envy The expression, Locke also nodded to these people. Most of the people that Locke knows are at the first level of the squad leader. Don't underestimate them. These people are all civilians like Locke. Multiple friends, multiple paths, Locke acts on this principle.
In the evening, the red sun on the horizon released its last rays of light and sank below the ground level, and the city of France ushered in darkness. This is a small town, but with dense streets and houses one after another, it is not difficult to see that this is a prosperous city. But at this time, the yellow leaves on both sides of the street were not cleaned, the refugees were sitting on the street, the shops were already closed, and the shops that were open were forcibly opened by the refugee doors. The broken wooden doors of the shops showed what they experienced confusion. Unbelievable, this is still the prosperous and beautiful city of France a year ago.
Two people wearing black cloaks hurriedly walked in a deep alley in the city of France. One of the cloaks was slightly bloated, and it seemed that there were more than one person among them.
"Miss, it's getting dark, let's go." An old urging sound came from the black cloak behind.
The man in the black cloak in front of him quickened his pace a bit. Under the black cloak is a woman with a fair face. The golden hair shows her good status, but she looks very haggard at this time. Under the cloak, she is still holding a half-sized girl in her hand. The little girl estimates that She was only eleven or twelve years old, and her clothes were gorgeous but very thin. Under her sleeve was a white arm. The little girl hugged the woman's neck. Although it could be seen that the little girl's condition was not very good, she did not shout. Just hold the woman quietly.
The two walked to a wooden door deep in the alley, and the man in the cape behind patted the door. Not long after, a woman who looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old maid opened the door. After seeing the two people at the door, she opened it immediately. The door, the two immediately closed the wooden door after they entered, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.
