Volume II: Southern Beacon 1150
Late at night, white
The light rain finally turned into a heavy rainfall that swept across the Parabun Plain at the end of September, and the large raindrops were blown by the wind and combed from the northwest like naughty children.
The "boom" overwhelming thunder resounded in the middle of the low clouds, and the ears of the people below the earthquake rang gracefully, and the dazzling blue sè electric light pierced the black sè night sky like a random dance, illuminating a lonely figure on the other side of the river.
"Pop" a fist-sized stone, was thrown into the river that churned the white sè rapids, and was swept away by the rapid rapids without even a bubble
"The current is too fast to force it across! This rain is too bad for the time!" the white-haired Marshal Dorok Anto patted the dirt on his palm, and stood up from the river with a slight frown.
This rain is really not the right time, 80,000 troops fought desperately, under the favorable factors of the time, place and people, they were able to defeat the defensive force of the Falcon Army on the border in one fell swoop, and the whole army did not even have time to rest, so they divided their troops and rushed into the hinterland of the Palaubun Plain in the shortest possible time, but now, all the efforts were abandoned because of this sudden rainstorm,
The momentum of the raid has been curbed, and the Falcon Army, which is holding on to the river, is now like a strong gate that completely blocks the direction of Dorok's army.
Looking at the rolling white waves in front of him, Anto's face was extremely unwilling, he looked at the surging river with a gloomy look, and his hands clenched into fists were slightly pale because of excessive force, and this year's climate was a little different than in previous years,.! The summer is particularly hot and the autumn is particularly cold, which also led him to make a mistake in judging the arrival of the rainy season, according to the general situation, the rainy season should not happen at the end of late autumn, "Marshal, let's wait for tomorrow!" said a general Dorok beside him, "Dark night is not conducive to forcibly crossing the river." The swelling waters of the river have also made it more difficult to cross the river, and according to the scouts' reports, the opposing side has increased their forces and built extremely strong fortifications on the riverbank. It was so dark that we couldn't see anything clearly, if we just hit it head-on. The troops crossing the river will only be in crisis!"
"It seems that this is the only way, order the whole army to camp on the spot, and talk about it tomorrow!" Anto gave an order to the herald behind him helplessly, and the army of Dorok who got the order began to camp on the spot, the neighing of war horses drifted with the wind, even if the rain was loud, the movement on the other side of the river was enough to alarm the falcon army,
"Quick, report right away!"
The sentry quickly reported the anomalous movement on the opposite side, and it was the commander of the 2nd Banner of the Western Army who was in charge of keeping watch on the defensive line that night. His face changed slightly when he heard the report of the sentry in front of him,
"It's so fast!" Pollar looked at the rain-soaked sentry captain with some surprise and asked, "How can you be sure that the other side of the river must be the main force of the Dorok Army?"
"We sent men to cross the river quietly, and according to the report of those who went, there were many enemies who arrived. The dense tents covered almost the entire beachhead!In order to avoid detection, it was only roughly counted, and there were at least 3,000 tents!" Then the captain of the sentry said breathlessly, "If there is no miscalculation, there should be at least 30,000 enemies this time."
"The river is so fast, how do you people cross the river?" Pollard's face was slightly surprised, no wonder he had this question. The river in the torrential rain is extremely dangerous, and there are countless undercurrents and whirlpools, no matter how good the water is, there is basically no return, but the people of the sentry captain come and go as if they are in a no-man's land
"During the day, we buried some ropes 10 miles upstream of the river, and there was a section of cliff on the high bank wall, because it was buried in the grass, and it was impossible to find it unless we looked very carefully.
"And even if you find it, it's useless, it's just a few rotten ropes, and you can't get the brigade through at all!" "The captain of the sentry said with a timidly face, "We used to be scouts in the Rui Erdian army, and that's what we did when we were scouting in the night!" "You go down first, thank you for the information you brought back, if it is true, you will get the reward you deserve!" Pollar nodded gratefully to the captain of the sentry, many of the people sent to the sentry tower by the river this time were temporarily recruited from the refugees in the afternoon, and many of them were former Ryordian soldiers, and the addition of these former Ryordian soldiers also greatly enhanced the military strength to defend the riverbank,
Waiting for the captain of the sentry to leave, Pollar sighed hesitantly, if the captain of the sentry is true, then the situation on the west side of the river is extremely worrying, the arrival of the main force of Dorok undoubtedly proves that the resistance force in the west of the river has been destroyed, and the Fifth Banner Regiment where Lord Crollisat is located, I am afraid that it will also be more than lucky
Picking up the waterproof cloak hanging at the door, Pollar shouted outside the tent, "Come on, prepare the horses, I will go to the central camp immediately!", the guards at the door hurriedly led the horses,
Pollar turned on his horse and looked at the river where the raindrops whipped like whips in the distance.
The white waves rolled, and from time to time there was a rumbling sound of torrent collisions, and the lightning of "pop la" silver sè swept across the sky, illuminating the river bank in the distance, where there were faint black shadows, and the electric light flashed away, engulfing all of them in the darkness
"Now I can only hope that Heaven will protect Lord Crollissat!" Pollar made a gesture with his hand on his chest, and muttered in a low voice, "Let's go to the camp in the heart!" Pollard and several escort cavalry rushed out in this way against the wind and rain, the horses' hooves splashed, the ground was muddy, and under the raindrops, like a black line galloping on the river bank,
The central camp was on a dirt slope near the riverbank, which was the highest point of the entire stretch of the riverbank, and as long as you stood there, you could know the situation of the river well, and after deciding on the strategy of sticking to the river in the afternoon, Hukochili moved the central camp from the riverside here.
And from the center of the camp, 40 vehicle-mounted crossbow arrows were arranged to the periphery, which was found in the Parabun treasury, which was originally used for the defense of Paraven, if the Dorok people forced their way across the river, as long as they were close to the river bank, they would be violently blocked by crossbow arrows from high places, so that they would float on the river
"Who is it! stop advancing immediately" The voice of the camp guard in front of him shouted, "I, the commander of the second banner of the Western Army, Pollal!" Pollard violently strangled the war horse under his crotch with his hand, and let the torch at the door illuminate his appearance, "Quick, open the door, it's Lord Pollal" The guard on the opposite side confirmed that it was Pollard, and hurriedly got out of the way in front, Pollard rushed over from the camp gate with the guards like the wind,
Receiving the news that Pollard wanted to see him, Hukochili hurriedly came to the central tent, "What's wrong?" What's going on?" Hukochli glanced at Pollard, who was covered in mud, because he was in such a hurry that Pollard was covered in mud and water, and even the cloak used to protect him from the rain became twisted together, and the wolf bèi was in reach
