At this moment, Manninger's eyes were like lightning, and he just fell on Char, staring tightly, as if he was about to pierce someone At this time, if Char showed the slightest panic on his face, or showed a little flaw, he would probably die.
But what is more subtle is that if you keep too calm and too casual, it will seem too fake, I have to say that at this time, the time to test Char's acting skills has come.
It can be said that the turtle has deceived countless people in his life, and many people have been deceived by his seemingly rude appearance, but most people don't know that our turtle is acting, and it is also a very talented Manninger who questioned sharply, and the electric gaze fell on Char's face, and Char's expression at that time was extremely wonderful.
He was a little stunned and surprised at first, but there must be no panic in this astonishment and surprise, on the contrary, he seemed to have heard a very inexplicable and absurd news, but his eyes widened and he looked at Manninger for a moment.
Then his face quickly showed a trace of disdain, and in this disdain, he also deliberately showed a bit of mockery, a little arrogance, and a little contempt.
In the end, he simply looked at Manninger with a look of indifference, and in that look it was as if to say: Is there something wrong with your brain?
The beauty of this series of expressions is that the level distribution of changes is wonderful.
The initial astonishment and surprise seemed to say: You guy is talking nonsense about where did the ridiculous news come from, how can you think that our troops are not here inexplicably.
Then the disdain and arrogance seem to say: Oh, I see, you guy seems to be afraid of our Rodria cavalry, obviously cowardice.
The last brave look at each other, the meaning is even more obvious: It seems that you Chixue Army is nothing more than that, Uncle Ben can see it, I have to say that Char's performance really made Manninger a little confused.
Even Manninger is also a hero among the Odin, but Char's acting skills are too wonderful.
What's more, with Char's physique and appearance, he is clearly a typical "straightforward" and "brave and upright" fierce general type of character.
If a cunning-looking guy had been replaced, maybe Manninger would not have been fooled.
But Char's respectful face, it looks like he is glaring angrily and saying directly, at first glance, it is a rough blank to look at horizontally and vertically, this kind of guy should be the most typical appearance of the legendary muscular and brainless, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the kind of master who is extremely good at acting and lying.
Manninger began to entangle the two and looked at each other for a while, Char withdrew his eyes, pouted and sneered: "Hmph, if you're afraid, just say it, since you don't dare to put on a posture for a decisive battle" Manninger's eyes narrowed and interrupted Char's words: "Who said that the Bashak warriors are fearless."
It's just that what Your Excellency said seems to be a little unbelievable. ” There was a twinkle in his eyes: "I heard that the commander of the Rhodría cavalry has been replaced by the guy Ruhr, that fat man is the most timid and afraid of battle, and when it comes to escaping, he is the first in the world."
I don't believe it, that fat man actually dared to send someone to take the initiative to find me to fight and hum, he deceived Hastings once in the past, how do I know if he didn't come to lie to me again this time" Char shook his head, as if he was very impatient: "If you want to fight, you will fight, and if you don't dare, you don't dare to have anything to do with General Ruer's guy" The disrespectful attitude towards Ruhr revealed in his tone made Manninger's heart move, and he asked: "Oh, isn't your commander Ruhr?"
"Ruer" Char's face made a little as if he did not completely hide it, and accidentally revealed his disdain: "General Ruhr, well, we fought us, what does it have to do with him At this moment, our army is in Wildfire Town, not under the command of General Ruhr." ” "It's not the Ruhr that leads the way" "Naturally not," Char's expression revealed a little indignation.
Manninger's heart became more and more relaxed, and he just stared at Char and couldn't stop looking.
Char immediately made a look of impatience by the other party, and sneered: "The Fourth Banner Regiment of our army Rhodria is stationed in Wildfire Town at the moment, if you want to fight, you will fight a decisive battle tomorrow, if you don't dare, everyone will slowly consume it."
After speaking, he didn't even pay attention to Manninger, turned the horse's head and was about to leave, but before he turned around, there were immediately several Odin warriors with axes to block the way, the axe swayed, Char smiled, pulled out the fire fork in his hand, at this moment his fire fork has become much longer than before, and the size can barely reach the long weapon of the horse battle, just in Char's laughter, the fire fork in his hand waved over, after a black shadow, a few clicks, several axes in front of him were suddenly cut off, and the three Odin warriors were forced back by Char's majestic strength, The other two even bumped out to the sides.
Char raised the fire fork in his hand, turned his head and shouted: "The Odin people are despicable and cowardly, and even the military envoys have to kill them, good old man, are you afraid that you will not come?"
"All out of the way" Manninger snorted in Odin, then the expression on his face relaxed, looked at Char levelly, and said slowly: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you rashly come to make a war letter, and there must be something that can prove your identity." ” "Proof " Char laughed, touched it from his arms, and finally took out a badge.
This badge was obtained by him for his meritorious service in the last war, and he threw the badge away, Manninger raised his hand to take it, and looked at it twice in his hand, he had fought with the Red Snow Army and the Rhodria cavalry, how not to recognize it, this was the military merit medal of the Rhodria cavalry Those who can receive this kind of medal are also considered outstanding among the Rhodria cavalry.
Manninger had already believed it in his heart, looked at Char and said: "In this case, let me ask you again, why are you Rodria cavalry not in the garrison, but you have made a fourth flag regiment to garrison Wildfire Town."
Xia Ya laughed loudly, and there was a little unwillingness in his voice: "Hmph, you guy, our Rodria cavalry is heroic and hateful for a long time, but that guy Ruhr took the position of our General Adric, that fat man is timid and cowardly, and the old people in our army are quite unconvinced, Ruhr simply got all of us old people in the army to the Fourth Banner Regiment, and rushed to this border to defend the border, everyone is out of sight and out of mind, and there is nothing to do." ” After a pause, he glared and shouted: "Even if our Rhodrian cavalry has only one flag regiment, we are not afraid of you Odin barbarians, the Rhodrian cavalry has advanced and retreated, even if you have thousands of troops and horses, we are not afraid."
Saying this, Manninger believed another three points.
He raised his eyelids and looked at Char, and smiled slightly: "Your Excellency is majestic, I think that in your army, it should be more than just a small ordinary cavalry, please ask your name, what military position is you currently holding?"
Char smiled proudly: "Lao Tzu is the former commander of General Adric's personal guard battalion, his name is Sharba, and now he is a battalion officer in the Fourth Banner Regiment, you remember my name, and I will definitely kill several of your generals with my own hands in the decisive battle."
It turned out that the people in General Adric's personal guard camp were no wonder, the Byzantines have always been very infighting, the new Ruhr officer took office, and he was the commander of the Rhodrian cavalry, such a group of arrogant soldiers, the old man was naturally not convinced by him, and it was also conceivable, especially the people in the former Adric's personal guard camp, and it was the descendant of the previous general, and the new Ruhr was naturally going to purge these old people, and transfer the old man to replace him with his own cronies, so it is reasonable.
Thinking of this, Manninger's heart suddenly became hot, and a thought suddenly came to him.
Since they were squeezed out by the Ruhr, then these Byzantine troops in Wildfire Town should be those real elite veterans in the original Rhodrian cavalry regiment, how valuable this real elite is Now the other side only has the strength of the flag regiment, if he can subdue this elite for his own use, this is the elite of the Rodria cavalry that even Hasting's Black Flag Army can compete head-on Thinking of this, Manninger couldn't help but blush, his voice was a little hoarse, and he said in a low voice: "You only have the strength of a banner regiment, but only two or three thousand horsemen, how can you resist my army Our Odin people respect heroes and heroes, since Ruhl's rabbit who can only run away refuses to reuse you, why do you have to work for him Why don't you go back and tell my words, if you are willing to come and raise an army and surrender, I swear in the name of the Bashak patriarch, I will" "Phew" Char was furious, raised the train on his horse and pointed at Manninger, and roared: "Bastard old thing, you dare to insult my Rodria cavalry, you remember, I Rodria only have fallen warriors, there are no cowards who surrendered, my Fourth Banner Regiment, even if I fight to the last horse, I will never surrender."
He took a deep breath, as if he had been greatly insulted, and glared at Manninger in annoyance and shouted: "Thinking that the two sides are fighting, I am the messenger, Lao Tzu will treat you as if you have not said this, otherwise, even if I am broken and fight for this life, I want you to splatter blood on the spot for five steps."
Manninger was not angry, but he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart, looked at Char, stared for a moment, and finally waved his hand: "Since you are bent on seeking death and seeking mercy, then speak with a sword on the battlefield."
Xia Ya laughed, and his laughter was full of heroism: "At noon tomorrow, ten miles north of Wildfire Town, there is a wilderness under the mountain, and the decisive battle will not end."
After finishing speaking, he shouted, jumped on his horse, and went towards the outside of the military formation, the Odin warriors next to him got Manninger's signal, did not stop, let Char drive away, the horse's hooves were hurried, and the figure gradually disappeared into the night, and after Char left, Manninger's expression suddenly became solemn, he raised his head, and saw that his subordinates on the left and right were watching him, Manninger sighed: "It's a pity, such a hero, can't be used by us Odin." ” The burly young Odin warrior next to him, who was similar to him, whispered: "Chief, although this Rhodrian cavalry is strong, it is too unruly and disrespectful, and the Byzantines have always been like sheep, why bother" "You know what."
Manninger shook his head: "If you want to strengthen our people, you must seek the help of heroes and heroes, hmph, the Byzantines should not be underestimated, among the Byzantines, there are also outstanding heroes, you don't see Hess" Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that he was speechless, and immediately shut up and glanced at the young Odin warrior.
After a pause, Manninger shouted an order: "Order, stop advancing, stay on the spot and rest the whole army, let the warriors drink and eat, and rest well for the night, tomorrow at noon, the decisive battle against the Rhodrians will be won" The burly young warrior frowned: "Leader, if you really want to fight with them, I see that the other party only has one flag regiment, no matter how powerful the Rhodria cavalry is, what kind of waves can a flag regiment turn up to send this kind of battle, it is really a bit invincible."
"What do you know?"
Manninger lowered his eyebrows and sneered: "It seems that it is the great God Odin who blesses these Rodrians are brave, but they are too stupid to have a flag group of two or three thousand people, although I have to say that we came from the south to raid, I didn't expect that a Byzantine strong army was stationed here, this is our miscalculation, but fortunately, the gods bless him, if it is other armies stationed here, then we will have some trouble." ” "Ahh Manninger sighed, looked at the young burly warrior, and said in a low voice: "You guy, I said in my usual life, let you use your brains more in case of trouble, but you can't listen to how you can inherit my position in the future and command the clan."
The young burly warrior smiled awkwardly and whispered, "Father" "Don't call my father in the bastard army" Manninger raised his eyebrows, and then said slowly: "Although we have an army of 50,000, but we have come from a long journey, the warriors are tired, and they are not carrying baggage, everyone is traveling lightly and quickly, if the two or three thousand Byzantine defenders who suddenly appeared, hiding behind the walls of Wildfire Town, do not fight, and choose to defend to the death, think about it, what will be the result at that time" The burly young warrior smiled proudly: "Wildfire Town's small town is only two or three thousand defenders, and if we dare to resist under our army, we will naturally let them be crushed."
"Well, that's a good point."
Manninger sneered: "But you have calculated the time without the fact that Wildfire Town is small, but it is well stocked, and if there are two or three thousand defenders, if we defend it with all our might, even if our army attacks the city, but first, we don't have baggage and siege equipment to pile it up with human lives, we can naturally fight it."
But it will take us about two or three days, but the rations carried by our warriors are almost exhausted, once it is delayed for another two or three days, do you tell the clansmen and warriors to drink the northwest wind, in case the battle does not go well, let these guys hold the city for a day or two more, and then the headache will be us, hum, finally God Odin blessed, and then stationed here are the brave but brainless Rodria cavalry, since they are willing to go out of the city to fight, it is naturally the best field battle, although the Rodria cavalry is brave, But after all, they only have one banner group, and we can completely defeat them in the field, and then we can easily occupy Wildfire Town as our first supply base, so we have a big advantage in terms of time. ” After a pause, Manninger suddenly looked a little regretful: "You have to remember, don't underestimate the Byzantines, although most of the Byzantines are cowardly, but their population is several times that of our Odins, even if there is only one warrior in a hundred Byzantines, but there are so many Byzantines, and there are many warriors among them, this guy named Sharba just now is indeed a warrior, but it is a pity that such a warrior cannot be used by me."
The young burly man also nodded: "This guy does have some guts, but the leader, our Bashak warriors are not weaker than him, you and watch, tomorrow on the battle array, I will cut off his head with my own hands" Manninger's eyes were quite pleased: "Very good, this is worthy of my son" Immediately Manninger's army had come to a halt, and at the southern exit of the Arbucket corridor, the Odin warriors drank and fed, and then rested and recuperated in anticipation of the "decisive battle".

And Manninger was also quite cunning, and in the middle of the night he gave another order, and gave the order to the 1,000 cavalry in the vanguard.
"Tomorrow morning, you will bypass the main road, bypass the mountain at the agreed place of our decisive battle, bypass the battlefield from the right side, and then go straight to Wildfire Town When we and the Rhodria cavalry were decisive, their city was empty, and they just took it in one fell swoop, and then you attacked from behind, and then the Rhodrians learned that Wildfire Town had missed, and the enemy suffered from the back, and naturally collapsed."
Seeing his subordinates take the order, Manninger was proud in his heart, and he also rested under the service of his entourage.
It's just that this night, there is always a faint strange feeling in his heart.
I thought of the military envoy named "Sharpa" many times in my heart.
I only felt that this young Byzantine warrior was extraordinary, mighty, and even more courageous, and I couldn't help but appreciate it very much.
"Forget it, don't think much about the decisive battle, if you have the opportunity, you can capture such a warrior alive, as long as you are generously treated, you will slowly always be obedient, it's really not good, I have so many daughters, just pick one to marry him."
It's a pity that although he thinks so now, after waiting for this day, Manninger thinks about it afterwards, and he is afraid that even his intestines will be repentant.
That night, when the Odin army was resting, there was a scout in front of the report, and on the hillside ten miles north of Wildfire Town, a fire broke out, and the mountains and forests were burning, and the fire could be seen more than ten miles away.
When Manninger heard this, his heart was settled, and he smiled: "That's the Byzantines' practice of clearing the wilderness, burning the woods, afraid that when we will fight the decisive battle, the soldiers will be hidden in the woods, and it will affect their cavalry charge, but they are only two or three thousand horsemen, no matter how clever they are, how big the waves can be turned out don't care about them." ” After resting for the night, Manninger ordered the whole army to march to the decisive battle site early the next morning.
The army marched for more than ten miles, and came to the foot of the mountain where the decisive battle was held, and saw that a large area of woods on the hillside had been burned, and there were still many places where the flames had not been extinguished, and they were all burned to a scorched earth.
The flat wilderness below the mountain here is indeed a good place for the army to fight in the field.
Manninger sat on his horse and looked at the terrain, and couldn't help laughing, and the laughter was quite proud.
One of his subordinates asked, "Why is the leader smiling so much?"
Manninger's face was pleasant: "I laugh at the stupidity of these Byzantines, although this wilderness is flat and suitable for decisive battles, and it is just right for the cavalry to charge.
But these Rhodrian cavalry miscalculated after all, you see that the terrain here is high in the north and low in the south, from north to south is a downhill slope, and once the decisive battle is fought later, our army is attacking from the uphill to the bottom, but the enemy has to run up from the downhill, who is easier, who is more difficult, it is ridiculous at a glance These Byzantine cavalry actually chose such a place to fight with me, and they killed themselves" When the surrounding Odin leaders heard this, they all applauded and praised the leader's wisdom.
By the end of the day, it was already noon, but the wilderness looked south into the emptiness, and there was a shadow of half a Byzantine Manninger's heart became uneasy, and he suddenly remembered that he had ordered the forward cavalry to sneak around the battlefield and attack Wildfire Town, and immediately sent someone to ask about the progress.
After a long time, the forward cavalry finally came back to report.
"The gate of Wildfire Town was closed, behind the city wall, we saw dust floating in the sky, we thought we were fooled, those Odin cavalry were still gathered in the city, and they didn't dare to attack the city suddenly but they waited for a long time, after the dust cleared, the gate of Wildfire Town was opened, but none of the enemy rode into the city After our warriors rushed into the city, the city was full of people, and there was no Byzantine enemy army at all Later, the people in Wildfire Town asked and found out, it turned out that someone paid a lot of money last night and hired a group of merchants who trafficked livestock in the town, spending thousands of gold coins, As long as they got up early in the morning and drove the oxen, sheep, mules and horses, ran back and forth on the streets of the town twenty times, and paid bribes to the officials at the city gate, so that they could delay the opening of the city gate until noon, we saw the dust in the city before, in fact, it was not the enemy's cavalry at all, but the cattle and sheep running and alarming."
When Manninger heard this, his face changed wildly, and he shouted: "Then, what about the Rhodrian cavalry?"
The forward of this return, the Odin reindeer cavalry, had a strange expression: "Chief, we asked in the city, there has never been any Rhodrian cavalry stationed in Wildfire Town" When Manninger heard this, his face turned purple and he shouted: "The Byzantines are cunning, despicable, hateful and killable."
His heart stirred, and he almost vomited blood, and his body shook suddenly, and he almost fell off his horse.
The burly son next to him also had a distorted face: "Chief, I'll take the forward cavalry to chase those bastards" "Chase a fart" Manninger barely sat down, and said angrily: "One night and half a day, if the other party was riding a horse and galloping, he would have already run back to the city of Denzel in Byzantine Mor County to chase at this moment, where can I catch up" Manninger's face seemed to be oozing blood, he gritted his teeth, and finally shouted: "Order the forward to go south at once, and not to stop and enter the Byzantine border Morka before dark."
His burly son immediately shouted, "I'm here."
"I will take the warriors without stopping at once, and I will leave you with 5,000 men for the rapid march south, and you will immediately occupy Wildfire Town" "Father" Morka was not happy: "What would I do if I would like to go south with my father and stay in Wildfire Town" "Shut up" Manninger's face was hideous: "That guy must have been sent by the Byzantines last night to delay me, and now although their plan has succeeded, it can also be explained that the Byzantines are not prepared for war, so they have to come up with this trick to stop me, in order to delay time, although we have been tricked, but it also shows that the Byzantines are weak, and at this time, they want to grab time and rush south."
"But I" Manninger took a deep breath and barely suppressed his anger: "Your task is also very heavy, we didn't carry the baggage, last night when the decisive battle, in order to let the warriors have a full meal and recover their strength, the rations have been almost consumed."
I personally led the army to the south immediately, but the rations were insufficient, and I left you with 5,000 men, so that you could collect supplies on the spot in Wildfire Town, and I gave you full authority No matter what method you use, you must collect food supplies as soon as possible, and then transport them to me as quickly as possible, understand, once we are defeated in the battle in Byzantium, your supplies here are our only reliance."
Manninger was fooled, but his final guess was not wrong.
At noon, Char and his party, more than 50 horses, more than 100 horses, one person and two horses, riding in turn, and rushing through the starry night, by noon, had already entered the territory of Moore.
After running through the wilderness and crossing a small river, the land in front of me gradually turned green, and the terrain gradually flattened, and the hills and mountains were no longer visible.
But after running for about half an hour, I saw that I had entered the village in the north of Denzel City, Mooreshire, and what I saw along the way suddenly made Char's face change wildly Originally, this way over, both sides of the road should be full of fertile fields, at this moment it is the end of spring, after spring ploughing, some short-season grain has barely reached the harvest time, the farmland should be full of abundance, but at this moment a group of people riding horses across the road, looking around, scorched earth everywhere The farmland on both sides has become unrecognizable, and the sea of fire has burned the crops in the farmland beyond recognition, and some places have been burned to the ground And the original granary in the village has turned into a huge burning torch On the road, scattered soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the local Byzantine garrison can be seen, driving horses in carts, carrying some materials that can be carried south, heading in the direction of the city of Denzel.
Even in the villages they passed, the wells were blocked by rocks, and in some water sources, the carcasses of slaughtered livestock were thrown into the water, many farmers and villagers, helping the old and the young, rushed towards Denzel City along the road, and the garrisons along the way kept urging Char to see the originally rich and fertile Mor County become like this, and couldn't help but yell: "What's going on?"
His eyes were dark, and he felt only sweetness in his mouth, shook it, and immediately fell off his horse To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
