Chapter 47： track

In the following days, the movements of the Black Cavalry really verified Colin's guess.

Under the command of the Marquis Garcia, they carefully kept a certain distance from the main force of the trolls, while constantly searching for the wolf cavalry.

Since the main force of the trolls is here, the wolf cavalry must be cruising nearby.

The most important task of the Black Cavalry now is to find them before the opponent finds themselves.

Finally on the third day, the black cavalry found the main force of the wolf cavalry.

The situation at the time was actually quite thrilling.

Because when the black cavalry sentry spotted the wolf cavalry, the two armies were only thirty miles apart.

This distance is a very dangerous distance for the cavalry army.

If marching normally, this should be the edge of the sentry's detection range.

It can be said that the two sides almost passed by at the time.

It’s not to blame this wolf cavalry for being careless, failing to find the black cavalry close at hand.

Because they didn't even realize that there was a chaser behind them.

This is the purpose of the play that Marquis Garcia deliberately played before.

The troll was completely paralyzed.

In their opinion, the Black Cavalry should be still in Ice Rock City at the moment, and may have been fighting with the Golden Lion Legion of the Duke of St. Hild.

Even if the trolls really have eyeliners in Ice Rock City, he has no time to pass the movement of the black cavalry to the trolls in time.

Because the fastest means of communication in the world is pigeons.

But homing pigeons can only find their way home based on changes in the magnetic field, so they can only be used to deliver messages to a certain fixed location, and the army of trolls in action will definitely not be able to receive homing pigeons.

The second delivery method for speed is the horse-riding human flesh express.

But the black cavalry itself is a cavalry, and the speed will not be slower than those who send mail on horseback.

What's more, they will also pay attention to the situation behind them, and it will not be so easy to let a messenger pass by.

Therefore, the Marquis Garcia actually took advantage of such a time difference to obtain information. First, he played a scene with his brother, and then, with the amazing mobility of the Black Cavalry, he caught the troll by surprise.

However, although the enemy was right in front of him and unprepared, the Marquis Garcia did not attack immediately.

Instead, he ordered the army to follow the route the wolf cavalry had walked, and chase after him.

As an excellent general, enough patience is the essential basic quality.

After 　　, Shuangjiang kept a distance of three or forty miles until night fell.

The wolf cavalry stopped to camp and rest, and the black cavalry stopped advancing almost at the same time.

The north wind whistled, and the heavy snow started to rise again, which made it easier for the black cavalry to hide their trails.

This night, fire is banned in the black cavalry camp.

Without a campfire, Colin finally couldn't withstand the cold wind outside, so he got into the camp of Earl Dawson.

Earl Dawson was very enthusiastic. He brought out the spirits again and chatted with Colin while drinking.

I don't know if it's because the enemy is right there, the atmosphere in the camp is a bit nervous and anxious.

Of course, this is not to say that the Black Cavalry soldiers are scared.

This kind of tension is a natural reaction, indicating that the soldiers' alertness has been raised.

and anxious, it represents the urgency that they can't wait to start the killing.

Such a victorious army has completely eliminated the fear of war from the body.

Earl Dawson and Colin didn’t talk for too long tonight. They also knew that the war was imminent, and they fell asleep early to replenish their energy.

Although it was the earl’s camp, there were still seven or eight people squeezed in it. These were all the earl’s obedience.

In order to maintain the mobility of the black cavalry, this kind of tent must be carried as little as possible, even the earl can only temporarily squeeze with the followers.

The whole army is eligible to have a single camp, that is, Marquis Garcia and Miss Vera.

Colin didn't dare to drill into the camp of these two men.

Although he really wants to go to the camp of the last one...

In fact, Earl Dawson’s camp has been calculated, and the camps of ordinary soldiers can even squeeze twenty or thirty big men.

With so many men crowded in a tent, the smell is unavoidable, and the snoring sounds one after another, but after a day of trekking, Colin, who is about to freeze, can no longer take care of these, and almost fell asleep.

But before he could sleep enough, he was awakened by Earl Dawson.

"What's going on?" When Colin got up, he found that it was just past midnight, and he was suddenly a little unhappy.

"Marquis Order, after an hourglass, the whole army will set off!"

Hearing that it was the military order of the Marquis, Colin, who was still a little angry at first, could only get up honestly.

The voices of the officers waking up the soldiers were also heard from other camps, but these officers' methods of calling people were not so gentle. They all kicked directly with their feet.

"Asshole thing, sleep so dead! I haven't noticed it for so long since I got in, how about your alertness?"

"Ah, don't kick, don't kick! I'll get up now."

...

After a brief period of confusion, the black cavalry quickly assembled, and then followed the trail of the wolf cavalry.

"Is this going to be a night attack?" Colin approached Earl Dawson and asked in a low voice.

"Night attack?" Earl Dawson looked at Colin with a strange look, and then realized that the opponent was still young after all and did not have much experience in leading soldiers, so he explained it patiently.

After Earl Dawson’s explanation, Colin woke up and he was deceived by those unscrupulous novels.

Don’t read novels and often engage in tricks of attacking the camp in the middle of the night, but in reality, few generals dare to do this.

Even if night attacks are really going to happen, they are usually harassed by small-scale troops.

An army of a large scale will never fight at night.

The reason is simple, the risk of night battle is too great.

Through the darkness, the enemy can indeed be caught off guard, but it is also easy for one's own side to fall into chaos due to poor military orders and other factors. One carelessness is the result of losing both sides.

For the cavalry, night fighting is even more impossible.

Because the dark night has more restrictions on the horses.

Let's talk about the terrain, don't look at the sky ice sheet as a large plain, the terrain is flat.

But this kind of flatness is also relative. No matter how flat the terrain is, it will inevitably have some ups and downs, and there will be many craters.

These small ditch and small trenches are not a problem at all during the day, and the horses can gallop by.

But at night, it is extremely deadly danger. UU reading

If you accidentally poked a horse's hoof, the joke would be a big deal.

Therefore, for the cavalry army, holding a torch or marching slowly by the moonlight is barely okay, but if you want to launch a charge operation, then your brain is flooded.

Of course the Marquis of Garcia would not make such a low-level mistake.

So at this moment, his order is only for the black cavalry to approach the wolf cavalry camp carefully in the dark, instead of launching an attack in the dark.

It's not to blame Colin for not understanding this.

Although he did follow his father, Baron Anglia, to the battlefield, there is no established cavalry in the Anglia family’s army.

Cavalry is such an expensive unit that ordinary little nobles can't afford it.

Therefore, he really knows very little about cavalry combat.

Under the bright moonlight, the black cavalry approached the enemy step by step.

The spare horse and the baggage were left in place, and the horse's hoof was also wrapped in cloth.

Although the whole marching process is not completely silent, it is definitely considered secret and quiet.

is like an experienced old hunter, quietly approaching his prey.

When the prey noticed it, perhaps the arrow had already been shot in front of him.

I don’t know how long it took, and Colin finally saw the bright light in the distance. It was an unextinguished bonfire in the troll camp!

Colin took a deep breath and squeezed the long sword in his hand.

Just then, the Marquis’s military order came again—

"The whole army rests on the spot!"

At this time, it is the darkest time before dawn.

The entire black cavalry completely hides itself in this darkness, quietly waiting for the moment the sun rises—

The moment the killing started!
