Chapter 58 [Enemy Attack]


In the evening, Char and Kevin set off with a group of scouts.

The 13th Cavalry Regiment had a full strength of 12,000 men, but the actual direct combat force was only 8,000 men, and the remaining 4,000 men were auxiliary troops, including baggage, logistics, subordinate battalions, infantry guards, and even a temporary conscripted militia regiment.

After all, although cavalry is the king of land warfare, it is also expensive and delicate.

The horses of the cavalry needed to be fed and cared for, and veterinarians were needed to repair the weapons of the army, and the logistics baggage was responsible for the transportation of military supplies, and so on.

The 8,000 soldiers were divided into four separate regiments, each with 2,000 men.

In addition, there was an independent light cavalry scout formation of about two hundred people.

In charge of this search and reconnaissance operation was a small squad of the independent scout formation, eighteen scout cavalry, plus Char and Kevin.

Char had only been in the garrison for half a day before, and had not had time to observe this army closely, but at this moment, looking at the scout light horsemen around him, he couldn't help but compare these people with the warriors in the mercenary group he had seen in Wildfire Town.

Although these scouts were only light cavalry, each of them showed extremely good horsemanship, and if he had not controlled the speed of the march and ran with all his might, then in less than a few moments, Char would have to eat ashes in the back.

At the same time, each of these guys showed an indescribable toughness, like a wolf Yes, these guys are like a pack of wolves, silent, fierce, and have a gritty smell in their eyes.

Although Char is very kind to Char, Char clearly feels that these people do not accept themselves, and that kind of kindness is only a superficial distance.

Although he was a personal soldier by the general's side, Kevin strictly followed the orders of the captain of the scout team along the way, and did not have any special treatment because of the identity of the general's personal guard.

The group traveled north through the corridor of the Arbarkt Plains for a distance of about a hundred miles, during which time it took about two days to search the serpentine route back and forth.

Char became familiar with these people little by little, and as time went by, Char's rich survival experience in the wild showed the excellent qualities of a hunter, especially when looking for all clues, he could also provide ideas based on some traces, and gradually everyone's eyes softened when they looked at him.

During the break, Char and the cavalry sat together to nibble on dry and cold cakes and drink cold water.

After two days of searching, the area they searched reached a depth of 100 miles, and they carried out a fan-shaped search to the north based on the military camp, although the cavalry were a little tired, but the fortitude on their faces did not diminish at all, and everyone's eyes were bright and full of sharpness.

And Char's excellent physique and physical strength also made Kevin begin to have a real affection for him.

Char has never had the experience of surviving in such a collective, but his superficial honesty and earthy temperament are greater than the appetite of these soldiers, and Char never thinks that it is a shame to ask people for advice, he is very humble and wants to ask cavalry for advice on horsemanship, because his excellent physique is basically to use brute force to pressure the horses to succumb Anyway, after two days, his riding skills have improved.

The only one who was a little helpless was Kevin, who saw that Char was torturing the horses with brute force to suppress the horses with strength to succumb, and seeing his prepared horse being frustrated by this kid, Kevin could only sigh.

On the third day, they came to a jungle, which was not too big, and the cavalry ran around the jungle and found no suspicious traces, so they decided to rest here for a while, and after resting, they set off on their way back.

"Do you think this is a bit boring," the scout captain asked Char with a smile during the break.

This is a veteran who has served in the 13th Cavalry Corps for more than seven years, and has taken root here after being transferred from other units to the 13th Cavalry Corps seven years ago, and it is difficult to be promoted in an elite unit like the 13th Cavalry Corps, and this guy is a civilian born without a background, which even the impartial General Adric can't help, after all, the promotion in the army has its own system.

With the qualifications of this captain, he can be transferred to other ordinary armies for promotion, but he refused the promotion order several times and "laid" here.

What's even more ridiculous is that it is said that this guy's son also entered the 13th Cavalry Corps According to Kevin, there were a lot of people in the 13th Cavalry Regiment who had this experience.

"Why do you ask that" Char glared at this captain curiously, after a few days of getting along, he felt that this guy was a very enthusiastic and good person, at least very enthusiastic about his comrades.

He was a sturdy middle-aged man, with a face full of bronzed skin sharpened by the wind and sun, wrinkled at the corners of his eyes, and he was only forty years old, but he looked as if he was almost fifty.

"We ran for two days and got nothing.

You must be thinking that this mission is boring.

The captain laughed and looked around at the resting cavalry.

Char thought for a moment, took a breath, and said, "I don't think so, the value of scouts is not that they have to find any problems. ” "Oh" Although it was just a casual question, but I didn't expect this rookie to have this kind of answer, the captain was a little interested: "What do you think?"

Char recalled for a moment, as if he had read some notes on the use of combat scouts in those books of the old guy, and after thinking for a while, he smiled and said: "I don't know very well, but it is important to find problems, but if no problems are found, at least it can provide valuable clues to the commander, at least indicating that this area is clean."

This in itself is also valuable intelligence.

Therefore, it cannot be arbitrarily assumed that if no problem is found, there is no credit. ” The captain narrowed his eyes, and Kevin, who had been busy with his own affairs next to him, couldn't help but look at Char curiously: "You have learned these things before" Char shook his head and hesitated: "I've seen it in some books" The captain showed a happy smile on his face, slapped Char, and looked at Kevin: "Hey bald boy, this rookie is new, right, can you talk to the general, and ask him to come under me, and the current recruits want to charge head-on as heavy cavalry, and few guys are willing to be patient as scouts." ” Kevin grinned: "You and the general will talk about this yourself." ” He lowered his head and went back to his business.

Char sat down beside him and watched as Kevin was holding a piece of sheepskin in his hand, and some dense words were written on the sheepskin with charcoal strips, and Kevin was using a knife to gently scrape the words off the sheepskin.

"What are you doing?"

"Write a letter."

Kevin didn't look up: "Those of us who are soldiers don't have that much money to buy paper, and the paper is too easily damaged.

Therefore, the correspondence at home is made of sheepskin, written with charcoal on it, and after reading it after getting it, the words are scraped off, and it can be used repeatedly. ” The bald man raised his head and looked at Char: "Haven't you used this kind of thing?"

Char was stunned for a moment, a strange feeling welled up in his heart, and he opened his mouth: "I didn't write a letter, and I don't have anyone to communicate." ” When he said this, an indescribable loneliness suddenly arose in his heart.

Writing a letter means that only relatives can write it, as for me Well, after the old guy died, I was left alone.

I don't know why, but when he thought of this thought, the pitiful face of the poor worm suddenly appeared in his heart Char was stunned for a moment, and then goosebumps all over her body rose, and she quickly patted her arm vigorously and snorted.

Damn, could it be that Lao Tzu has been with that guy in Oaks for a long time, and he has contracted the kind of male disease of goblins He quickly shook his head vigorously and threw this terrible thought away.

Hearing Kevin's voice in his ears, this guy's eyes were shining at the moment, and there was a trace of funny tenderness on his originally hideous face: "This is my wife's letter, hehe, I'm a person with a wife, her name is Yulia, tell you, she is a pure-blooded Rhodelian woman Haha surprised Now in the empire, purebred Rhodrians are very, very rare."

Hmph, I'll marry one of my family who served in the Rhodria Cavalry Regiment, and my wife is also a Rhodria woman, and I'm the only one in the whole corps."

Talking about his wife, this stunned young man who spoke very little actually became more talkative Looking at this stunned young man's proud expression, Char sighed has a wife, it must be good, uh, it's really annoying, my Uncle Char is still there "Well, your wife must be beautiful."

As a virgin, Char sincerely expressed her envy.

"Of course she is the goddess of my heart."

Stunned Qing grinned, and looked at Char's eyes more and more pleasing to the eye: "Her barbecued steak is very good, if I have the opportunity to invite you to my house to taste her craftsmanship, you are a good guy, we can become very good friends in the future." ” Uh, poor stunned Qing, he probably doesn't know what Char thinks of as "beautiful".

If he knew, he was afraid that as soon as the two became friends, they would immediately turn their faces and duel.

One episode is that many years later, after Char became famous, his glorious deeds spread all over the continent, and the earliest funny aesthetics also became a kind and ridiculous word for everyone.

And a phrase like "King Char said that your wife and daughter are beautiful" will be considered a famous saying and will be widely circulated This famous quote later spread all over the mainland, along with another world-famous joke "xxx, your mother called you home for dinner."

Juxtaposed, the two famous sayings complement each other on the mainland While the scouts were resting, there were already three soldiers who had been selected to be on guard on the three trees with the best views around them, and a young cavalryman on the far right was wearing thick leather armor, and the rough leather had worn the skin on the inner thighs for a few days, making the cavalry squat on the branches in a ridiculous position.

However, his eyes are still bright, and he is the best archery in the squad, and the best archery is usually the best eyesight.

Vigilantly looking into the distance, sweeping several important directions, the soldier breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes still at the distance, while carefully hiding his body behind the branches and leaves, unscrewing the lid by untying the water bag from his waist The moment he picked up the water bag and drank water, his eyes finally left the front and he looked up to drink water for a while Poof, a sharp arrow seemed to shoot silently from the dark night void, without bringing even a single sound of breaking the air, and pierced his throat like a poisonous snake The arrow pierced the water bag in the soldier's hand and pierced his throat At this moment, the soldier's eyes were unwillingly round, and he raised his hand and planted it from the tree The scout cavalry on the ground was suddenly awakened, and at this moment, in the darkness, more than a dozen vague black shadows had already rushed over in the woods "Enemy Attack":
