[Fengshi City Directly Underground]

[Maiqiu]

Seber Carrington crouched in the wheat field, motionless, and the half-man-high rye flooded him.

The green wheat leaves rolled in the wind, and Seber was in it, like a reef that appeared and disappeared in the waves.

In Seber's vision, the figure half a kilometer away was as small as an ants. Groups of ants crawled slowly along the provincial avenue toward the Green Valley.

While observing the smoke and dust rising on the road, Seber focused on counting the flags flying in the marching formation.

This Red Rose Force, which set out from Fengshi City, has too few light cavalry units and is not very good at quality.

Although they were all wearing high-quality military horses, their clothes were clean and neat, and their chests were full of the spirit of a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger, they were obviously new recruits who had just joined the army.

In a small-scale chase, the recruits of the light cavalry were riding a short Hedge under Seber Carrington, and the torn scout veteran was so cleaned up.

They often chased the enemy who was running away with great enthusiasm the moment before, and the next moment they suddenly found themselves being taken into the ambush circle.

After two small battles with the help of the terrain, Major Seber Carrington easily seized half of the enemy's army and stripped a lot of new clothes.

On the other hand, the recruits of the light cavalry who escaped by chance were completely scared and had no courage to take the initiative. They only dared to wander around their own marching ranks.

The activity space of the enemy light cavalry was compressed by Seber within one kilometer on both sides of the column.

For an army, with such a small reconnaissance range, it is almost no different from that of blind and deaf.

There were some bold scouts under Seber who even began to provoke and harass the enemy at close range.

They rode the newly seized horse, carried two spring rifles, and first led the horse to a hidden walk about one kilometer away from the enemy column. Once they saw the right time, they suddenly got on the horse and rushed into the enemy column within fifty meters, raised their hands and "bang" two shots, regardless of whether they hit the target or not, and then pulled the reins and slapped the horse and left.

The enemy light cavalry who arrived later often dared to chase after a short distance symbolically, and did not even have the courage to cross the dirt on both sides of the road.

As long as the harasser disappears on the hillside, they will retreat and continue to wander next to the marching column.

It is precisely because the enemy's light cavalry has been completely suppressed that Seber Carrington has the opportunity to approach the enemy to reconnaise within half a kilometer, and not be discovered by the enemy.

...

The marching column in the distance suddenly had some abnormal movements.

Seber noticed a rider suspected of wearing a school officer's uniform rushed from the front of the column.

The rider took several followers and galloped against the direction of the "ant colony", stopped at the horse, and then called out a few "ant" from the "ant colony", as if asking questions.

Seber unconsciously narrowed his eyes and intuition told him that the rider who was suspected of school officials was probably the commander of this army.

He secretly planned: the opponent marched in a 100-man team, and the formation was deliberately maintained very tightly, obviously in abducting a cavalry raid.

But... fast in and out, there will always be a chance.

The problem is that at this moment, behind the mound half a kilometer behind Seber, only twenty-four subordinates were on standby.

After returning from the surprise attack on the Chilian army, Winters did not choose to disband the more than a thousand light cavalry drawn, but directly organized them into six light cavalry squadrons and handed over four of them to Major Seber's command.

At present, Seber Carrington's four cavalry squadrons were scattered on the road from Maple Stone to Green Valley, providing alert, communication and reconnaissance for the entire army. Some were sent to Vorne County to monitor the Shandells.

For the vast new land, hundreds of cavalry sprinkled out like salt sprinkled into the sea, and were quickly diluted. Therefore, the twenty-four cavalry in the four tents are all the forces that Seber can temporarily control.

Although Seber is famous for being "fairly unlucky", he is not stupid and will not seek death.

Staring at the figure riding a red horse under the mound, Seber thought with regret: "You are lucky today, my friend."

To be honest, Seber inexplicably felt a sense of mutual appreciation for the enemy commander who was still unknown to the hillside.

He admired the other party's ability to tolerate - it's not irony.

Faced with all kinds of harassment and provocation, the other party did not lose control or react excessively, and was still calm and tolerant. Seber asked himself that he could not do it.

Therefore, Seber tried his best to compare the other person's figure and style with the classmates and colleagues in his memory, but he could never think of anyone with such ability.

Suddenly, a rustling sound rang behind me.

Seber held the dagger vigilantly and whispered: "Who?"

"It's me, major." A lieutenant with clean hair and blue scalp exposed to his green scalp crawled to Seber, raised his neck and bowed, and reported in a low voice: "The captive is recruited."

Seber put down his dagger and continued to observe the enemy situation: "Talk."

"Those prisoners said they were from the Sixth Legion."

Seber turned around suddenly, his eyes glaring: "Sixth Legion?"

The lieutenant hurriedly explained: "It is not our Sixth Corps, but the Sixth Corps reorganized by the Great Parliament, also called the 'Kings'."

Seber snorted coldly and turned his back.

"There are more interesting things." The lieutenant licked his lips and continued to report: "According to the captives, they were recruiting and training in Xilin Province. They have been stationed in Xilin Province before, and they arrived in Fengshi City the day before yesterday."

Seber asked without looking back: "Why are the captives reliable?"

"They are all interrogated separately, and the answers are similar, so they should not be interrogative."

Seber said "hmm" and asked again: "How much do they know about the situation in Maple Stone City?"

"They don't know anything." The lieutenant replied: "According to their words, they had never entered Maple Leaf Fort at all. They just rested in Maple Stone City for a night and then hurriedly set off. However, according to them, Maple Leaf Fort added a brigade to them, and with their original five brigades, there are currently six brigades heading towards Green Valley."

Seberxin calculated that there were about 3,000 people in six brigades, which basically matched the information he observed.

"In other words, these people are not the troops of the Xinkendi Legion - reinforcements from the Grand Parliament have arrived." Major Seber sighed and asked his subordinates again: "Have you sent someone to Green Valley to inform Captain Montane about the latest enemy situation?"

The lieutenant replied in a low voice: "No."

Seber turned his head and his eyes became sharp: "What does it mean?"

"There is another information, which was also explained by the prisoners." The lieutenant said slowly: "You need to decide whether to inform Captain Montane."

"Don't talk nonsense! Say."

"There are only five brigades of the so-called Sixth Legion." The lieutenant licked his lips again and said hesitantly: "According to the captives, the other five brigades of the Sixth Legion of the pseudo-government came by boat..."

Seber's mind instantly exploded countless possibilities: "When did you come by boat? Where did you come? Where are you now?"

"I don't know." The lieutenant replied honestly: "They only know that the other five brigades came to Xinqing land by boat."

Seber's head began to hurt. He emptied the distracting thoughts in his mind, stared at his subordinates, and said coldly: "Give the information of the prisoners... No, send the prisoners to Captain Montane! Go now! Go in person!"

The lieutenant was so guilty that he quickly saluted and replied yes.

"Don't leave for now." Seber called his subordinates and pointed to the school officer of the Chouhong Horse under the hillside: "Have the prisoners explained the identity of the enemy reinforcements commander?"

"It is said that his surname is Felt, his name is Alder, and he is a major."

"Ald Felt." Seber frowned and chewed for a long time: "Why haven't you heard of it? It seems that it's not the name of the Paratu?"

"It's not us Palatuns, but the Unionists." The lieutenant explained: "We were originally here to help the pseudo-government train new recruits, but this time we went to the battle."

Seber chuckled: "So that's the case... have your soldiers brought them?"

"At." The lieutenant focused his attention: "The four tents and twenty-four horses are all waiting behind."

"How many veterans are there?"

"half."

"Then you can try it." Seber opened his mouth and moved his jaw hard, revealing his two pointed teeth. He ordered his subordinates: "Leave your team to me. Take the prisoners to Green Valley by yourself and report the latest military information to Captain Montane."

The wind blew across the wheat fields hiding the beasts, but it made the beasts more and more difficult to detect.

"United Statesman." Seber Carrington stared at the school officer riding a maroon horse under the hillside and spat: "You are not lucky today."

...

Behind is Fengshi City, in front is Maiqiu Town, on both sides are gentle and undulating earth buns, and under your feet is the provincial avenue full of dust.

Faced with the situation of frequent harassment and provocation, and the surrounding enemy romance, Major Ald Felt could only choose to swallow his anger and rush to the road.

After he led his men to run, he personally confirmed the losses of the light cavalry detachment: less than a day after he set out from Fengshi City, more than half of the light cavalry assigned to him had been lost, and the remaining light cavalry had no fighting spirit.

The honorary officer in charge of commanding the light cavalry looked ashamed and stood in front of Major Ald Felt without saying a word.

Major Felt sighed, but in the end he didn't say anything harsh. Because he knew very well that the current situation could not be blamed for the honorary officer who had just been trained.

The harassment of small groups of enemy cavalry continued, and the sound of hooves and gunshots were heard from time to time on both sides of the road.

Major Felt had no choice but to order to ignore it and continue to rush.

There is no way. If he is ready or reacts violently, the speed of the march will inevitably be slowed down, which will fulfill the other party's intentions.

Major Felt participated in actual combat in Paratu for the first time, and immediately realized the difference between the art of war in the country of galloping horses and the densely populated and water-lined joint provinces.

Fortunately, Maiqiu Town is ahead. Once you enter the solid fortification town, the harassment of small groups of light cavalry will lose its meaning.

"Don't be lazy!" Major Felt stood by the roadside and loudly encouraged the soldiers: "When you arrive in Maiqiu Town, you can rest as much as possible."

The soldiers responded to the major's speech with silence.

Major Felt knew that he was not good at eloquence, so he waved his whip and rushed to the front of the queue.

Just as he turned a sharp bend at the bottom of the slope, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves like hail.

Major Felt raised his head, and a small group of cavalry jumped out of the backscene of the hillside and rushed towards him like arrows.
