942 The Neglected Man
This is unique in the vicinity of the Irmgat swamp, and I guessed that this woman was noble, but I didn't expect it to be the princess of the imperial prince. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Badero's eyes moved, and he whispered a few words close to the old man Balsang, who looked at Xiao Zhiyun, and then touched the ground with both hands, whining in his mouth, and at the same time showing horror. Badro also knelt on the ground, as if he was translating the words of the old man Balsan, "The most expensive princess of the empire, Kur is poor, and there are many slack, and she still looks at Haihan. ”
Xiao Zhiyun smiled faintly, and didn't say much, just asked people to help the old man Ballsang up, this Kur man is not stupid, he is so respectful. The atmosphere of the next banquet was much warmer, the flatbread and bacon used in the army were good things in the eyes of the Kur people, the local Kul lacked salt, and did not contact the outside world, the usual oil, salt, sauce and vinegar became the luxury of the tribe, and eating bacon and flatbread was simply a delicacy in the world. In order to show their friendship, many soldiers also offered their treasured delicacies, and when they arrived, the tribe was already singing and dancing, and it was very lively.
After a long time of contact, Xiao Zhiyun treated people calmly, so that Badro and Ballsang gradually let go and said more. Maybe it's because of the drinking, Badro sighed and said something inadvertently. Just a few days ago, a group of more than a dozen black-armored cavalry came to the Kur tribe, and several Kurs died at the hands of this cavalryman. This is also the reason why the Kurs were concentrated on the periphery at the beginning and did not let Yu Xiaochen and others enter the tribe.
The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, and after listening to the narration of Bardro and others, Xiao Zhiyun remembered it in her heart. The black-armored cavalry, in the area of the Imgert swamps, in addition to the cavalry of Ding****, there are only the cavalry of the Germanic people. It seems that his overtures are right, if he despises the Kurs, shows malice when he comes up, and even exterminates the Kurs, although he will be rid of the troubles forever, but he doesn't want to hear about the Germans. This news is very important, since the Germanic cavalry came to the Kur tribe a few days ago, it means that the Germans do not know the specific marching route of Ding****, and they are also searching everywhere for the traces of the main force of Ding****. Similarly, the fact that the Germanic cavalry can appear in the Kur tribe means that the main force of the Germanic people is not too far away from the Kur tribe, so it is much easier to find the Germans.
Jerusha frowned, he didn't expect the Germans to find the Kur tribe, "Chief Balsan, it should have been the Germanic barbarians who hurt the Kur tribe before, I think the chieftain can tell the difference, they are obviously different from us in appearance." And the armor system is also very different from ours, we detoured to the Kur tribe this time, in fact, we also wanted to trouble the Germans. ”
Pullsang and the others did not doubt Yerusha's words, because most of the Germanic people have yellow hair and blue eyes, very white skin, many beards, and the armor is not the same as the armor of Ding****, which the Kurs have repeatedly confirmed, otherwise Ballsang would not welcome Xiao Zhiyun and others into the tribe. Pullsan hesitated for a while, whispered a few words to Badro, Xiao Zhiyun and Yerusha glanced at each other, and wondered in their hearts, what were Pullsan and Badro whispering? Soon Badro bowed and said what Ballsang meant, "Honorable princess, our chief has a reluctant request, since you are here for those slaughterers, can you take the warriors of our tribe with you, the slaughterers have mutilated the tribesmen, and we also want to take revenge." ”
Xiao Zhiyun couldn't help frowning, she didn't think this was a good thing, how many young and strong people were in the Kurs, even if the Kurs joined, what was the effect? Moreover, Xiao Zhiyun does not fully trust the Kurs, in case the Kurs are acting, it is easy to expose the intention of the march by leading the Kurs to march. However, it is not too good to refuse directly, the Kurs have lived here for hundreds of years, and they are more familiar with the terrain here than anyone else, and there are many places to rely on the Kurs for marching behind. Xiao Zhiyun did not answer immediately, but communicated with Yerusha and the others, and several people did not shy away from Badro and Ballsan, and discussed in front of them, "What do you think?" ”
"Princess, the last general thinks that it depends mainly on what the Kurs can help us, and if it helps, you might as well take them, if not, then don't take them. After all, the Kurs are untrained and don't know how to march and set up formations, so it's easy to cause us trouble," Jerusha, as a veteran, has the most right to speak, and he also made no secret of his thoughts, "Of course, if the Kurs are used, then it will be recommended to leave some men stationed on the periphery of the Kur tribe to prevent the Kurs from cheating." ”
Yerusha's idea can be regarded as an old-fashioned move, Xiao Zhiyun thought about it carefully, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so she said to Badrow, "Of course we won't refuse the help of our friends, but I don't know what kind of help the Kurians can bring us?" ”
Badro was obviously stunned, he thought that the Kurs took the initiative to help, and the Orientals should gladly accept it, but judging from the reaction of the princess and the generals in the army, it seems that there is not much interest. But when I turned my head and thought about it, I was relieved, the tens of thousands of troops of the Eastern Empire had experienced a hundred battles and were well-trained, while the Kurs had less than a thousand people to fight, and they were all untrained herdsmen and farmers. But Badro really wants to help Ding****, Badro and Ballsan are not fools, it is obviously unrealistic for the Kurs to maintain the kind of life they lived hundreds of years ago, the Orientals and Slavs have set foot on the Yenisei River, and if the Kurs want to survive, they must choose a side. Judging from the contact, the Orientals were much better and easier to get along with than the Slavs and Germans, and it is likely that holding the big thick legs of the Orientals will bring opportunities to the Kurs. Cooperation is mutual, Badro knows that there is no pie in the sky in the world, if the Kurs want to get a status in the East, they must first prove the value of the Kurs, after a moment of silence, Badro said eloquently, "Princess, we Kurs live in the lower reaches of the Irtysh River all year round, especially the terrain around the Imgate swamp is very familiar, with us in front of the way, it will definitely bring great help to the Eastern army." ”
Xiao Zhiyun nodded slightly, Badro relied on this, and then Yelusha didn't wait for Xiao Zhiyun to speak, and said to Badrow, "It's not impossible to lead the warriors of the Kur tribe to take revenge, but it's the first time we work together, who dares to guarantee that there will be no accidents?" If the Kurs want to go out with the army, it's not impossible, and I hope that the old man Ballsang can agree to a condition for us, and after the expedition, we will leave 3,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed in the north of the Kur tribe. ”
"Ga" Badero's eyes widened, he didn't expect Jerusha to make such a request. Is this an excessive request? It sounds excessive, 3,000 soldiers and horses, this is completely taking the Kur tribe as a hostage. But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be excessive, everyone has not been in contact with it before, and there is no trust at all. Badro was momentarily embarrassed and set his eyes on the old man Ballsan. Ballsan actually nodded heavily, although Ballsan is old, but his mind is still very clear, he feels that the Orientals are okay to do this, as long as the Kurs are really helping, these three thousand people are not a threat at all, but they are still the biggest patron saint of the Kurs.
Pullsan nodded in agreement, and Badro would not have any objections, now that the partnership was decided, the next thing was much simpler. Xiao Zhiyun was most concerned about the Irmgat Swamp, and after eating in the evening, she called Badro to the outer tent, "Badro, you should be familiar with the Irmgat Swamp, from the Gobi Desert near the Imgett Swamp, where is the most direct exit to the west?" ”
After Badro understood Xiao Zhiyun's meaning, he took out a piece of yellow parchment from his arms, and when the parchment was spread out, Yelusha and the others took a look at it, and immediately showed a shocked look. Everyone is a veteran of the battlefield, and at a glance you can see that the parchment is drawn on the map of the Imgate swamp, although the map is very rough, but the important locations around it are still marked, at least it is much more useful than the military map of Ding****. Because half of the military map of Ding**** was drawn, the place to the west of the Imgate swamp was not drawn at all, and Badrow's map was drawn privately, not professional enough, but at least the location was marked.
"Princess, please see, this map was drawn by the villain who went out all year round, although it is not accurate, but it is still drawn in general. If you head west from the Irgat Marshes, the best path is probably this gorge, which is wide and long, with towering mountains on both sides. The most direct and shortest distance west into the Irtysh from the Imgat Marshes is this gorge. In the early years, the villain also walked through this canyon, and from here to the Irtysh River, the distance was much shorter" Badro told in great detail and full of confidence, which shows that he is not bragging, he must have walked through this canyon.
Xiao Zhiyun slowly pondered, and Yerusha and other generals in the army also thought silently, Badro's map and those words revealed a lot of information. As if he had thought of something, Yerusha's brows tightened, "Princess, do you think the Germanic barbarians are already waiting for us in this canyon?" ”
Yerusha and Xiao Zhiyun thought together, and Xiao Zhiyun was also thinking about this problem, if everything Badro said was true, then this canyon was definitely a military artery. Isn't it right to add that the canyon is wide and narrow, and it is suitable for the Germanic cavalry to charge? The army on the south road lacked cavalry, and the Germans rushed head-on, but once there was no advantage, gradually, Xiao Zhiyun was a little afraid, if the Germans were ambushed in this canyon, tens of thousands of **** would continue to pass through the Imgert swamp, then out of the swamp, once they entered the canyon, they would not be caught by the Germans? It's a shame that the Germanic people didn't take the Kurs seriously, and they made a feud with the Kurs as soon as they came up, and if the Kurs didn't help, they wouldn't know the situation on the west side of the swamp.
With a keen sense of smell, Xiao Zhiyun felt that this canyon was a good opportunity, and the Germans could use the canyon to do things, and they could also use the canyon themselves. No matter how the Germans arrange, the main defensive offensive direction should be on the east side of the canyon, because in the eyes of the Germans, no matter how the **** goes, it will eventually show up on the east side of the canyon. Xiao Zhiyun propped up the table with both hands, constantly thinking about the gains and losses of each step, and finally raised her head and looked at Badro with a serious expression, "Badrow, since you have walked through this canyon, you should know how to quietly bypass the southern end and enter the Grand Canyon from the west, right?" ”
"This.... It should be okay," Badro was confident, but he didn't dare to pack the ticket, "Although two years have passed, this area is inaccessible and there has been no earthquake, so there should be no change." It's winter again, and as long as it doesn't snow, the villain is 80% sure that he will be able to quietly enter the Grand Canyon from the west. ”
"Are you sure?" Xiao Zhiyun pursed her lips and laughed, eighty percent is enough, how can you be 100% sure of marching and fighting, the risk of twenty percent is much smaller than the possible benefits, "Badrow, you should prepare, you will lead the way in two days, we will enter the Grand Canyon from the west, hum, as long as the Germanic barbarians dare to ambush in the canyon, we can kill them by surprise." ”
Xiao Zhiyun hated these Germanic cavalry, especially the Knights of the Holy Cross, but given **** brought endless trouble. If the Germanic cavalry can be severely damaged this time, it will be a great scourge. Badro was in good spirits, as a businessman, he knew too well what it meant, as long as this thing was done, he Badro would be able to soar.
The army of the South Route had plotted a detour, but Dolle did not know about it, and he was completely unaware of the danger he faced, let alone that the Grand Canyon in Badrow's mouth was actually the Thors Canyon. It can't be said that Dolle is incompetent or careless, and how many people will take the Kurs seriously, an uncivilized barbarian tribe, an ant-like existence. What's more, Dolle agreed that the Easterners would appear in the east of the canyon, so the scouts have been cruising around the swamp, looking for traces of the main force, and as for the west of the canyon, they didn't care too much. Berthorn is very anxious these days, and the scouts send batch after batch, but nothing is gained. Since the main army of the Orientals left the Gobi Desert, they suddenly disappeared into the vast swamp, and the people sent to the north did not find a single bird feather except for the turf, and a few unlucky scouts accidentally stepped on the swamp and almost fell into it.
There are strange things every year, especially this year, Berten's head is a little bigger, Suggs also complained when he saw Berten, "After waiting for so long, the Oriental people are gone, do they fly into the sky?" ”
"Who knows, it's better to fall into the swamp, it's better to drown," Berthorn said harshly, but he knew that it was unrealistic, no matter how terrible the swamp was, it was impossible to swallow tens of thousands of troops at once. (To be continued.) )
