TOV47

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

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

Since the main army of 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 himself.

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 sentinel spotted the wolf cavalry's trail, the two armies were only thirty miles apart.

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

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

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

It's no wonder that this wolf cavalry was careless, so that they could not spot 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 deliberately played by Marquis Garcia.

The trolls were 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. Hilde.

Even if the trolls really had eyeliner in Ice Rock City, he would not have time to pass the movement of the Black Cavalry to the troll army in time.

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

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

The second delivery method is the human body express on horseback.

But the Black Cavalry itself is cavalry, and the speed is not 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 through.

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

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

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

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

After that, Black Cavalry kept a distance of thirty to 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, the fire was banned in the Black Cavalry camp.

When there was no bonfire, Colin finally couldn't withstand the cold wind outside, so he got into Earl Dawson's tent.

Earl Dawson was very enthusiastic, and once again brought out the wine 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 tension is a natural reaction, indicating that the soldier's alertness has been raised.

Anxiety 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.

Tonight, Earl Dawson and Colin didn't talk for too long. They also knew that the battle was imminent, and fell asleep early to replenish their energy.

Although it was the earl's tent, there were still seven or eight people squeezed into it.

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

In the whole army people who are eligible to have a single tent are Marquis Garcia and Miss Vera.

Colin didn't dare to enter into the tent of these two men.

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

In fact, Earl Dawson's tent has been calculated, and the tents of ordinary soldiers can even squeeze twenty to thirty big men.

With so many men crowded in a tent, it is inevitable that the smell is a little smokey, and there are snoring sounds, 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 had enough sleep, he was awakened by Earl Dawson.

"What's the matter?" When Colin got up, he found that it was just past midnight, and suddenly felt 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 tents, but these officers' methods of calling people were so gentle, they all kicked directly with their feet.

"Asshole, sleep so dead! You have been in for so long without being aware of me, 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 wolf cavalry's trail.

"Is this going to be a night attack?" Colin leaned close to 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 had no experience in leading soldiers, so he patiently explained.

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

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

Even if you really want to engage in night attacks, only small-scale troops will attack at night.

A large-scale army will never fight at night.

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

The night attack can indeed hit the enemy by surprise, but it is also easy for one's own side to fall into chaos due to poor military orders and other factors. One carelessness may result in a loss on both sides.

For the cavalry, night combat is even more impossible.

Because the night has greater restrictions on the horses.

Let's just talk about the terrain, don't look at the northern 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 pits.

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

But at night, that is an extremely deadly danger.

If a horse's hoof falls into the pit, and the danger is great.

Therefore, for the cavalry army, holding a torch or marching slowly by the moonlight is still barely possible, but if you want to launch a charge operation, it is impossible.

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

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

No wonder Colin didn't understand this.

Although he did follow his father, Baron Angele, to the battlefield, there was no established cavalry in the Angele family's army.

The 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 horses and the baggage were left in place, and the horse hooves of the warhorse were also wrapped in cloth.

Although the whole marching process is not completely silent, it can definitely be regarded as secret and quiet.

It was like an experienced old hunter, quietly approaching his prey.

When the prey noticed it, perhaps the arrow had already been shot.

I don't know how long it took, and Colin finally saw a bright spot 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.

At this moment, 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--

At that moment they will start killing!
