The Original Vampire

In the following days, the movements of the Black Cavalry Army really verified Ke Lin's guess.

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

Since the main army of trolls is here, then the wolf cavalry must also be cruising nearby.

Now the most important task of the Black Cavalry is to discover them before the other party discovers them.

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

The situation was actually quite dire.

Because when the sentry of the black cavalry found the trace of the wolf cavalry, the distance between the two armies was only more than thirty miles.

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

This should be the edge of the Sentinel's scouting range in a normal marching battle.

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

No wonder this wolf cavalry was careless and failed to spot the black cavalry that was close at hand.

Because they didn't realize that there was still a chasing soldier behind them.

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

The troll was completely paralyzed.

In their opinion, the Black Cavalry should still be in Ice Rock City at the moment, perhaps already fighting with Duke St. Hilde's Golden Lion Army.

Even if the trolls really had eyeliners in Ice Rock City, he wouldn't have time to transmit the movements of the black cavalry to the troll army in time.

Because the fastest means of communication in the world is the carrier pigeon.

But carrier 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 fixed location, and the troll army in action will definitely not be able to receive carrier pigeons.

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

But the black cavalry itself is cavalry, and the speed is no slower than the person who delivers the message on horseback.

What's more, they will also pay attention to the situation behind them, and it will not be so easy for a guy who delivers a letter to pass by.

Therefore, Marquis Garcia actually took advantage of such a time difference in obtaining 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 he was unprepared, Marquis Garcia did not attack immediately.

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

As a good general, enough patience is a necessary basic quality.

In the following time, Shuangfang maintained a distance of thirty 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 began to rise again, which made it easier for the black cavalry to hide their tracks.

That night, fire was banned in the Black Cavalry's camp.

Without a bonfire, Colin finally couldn't stand the cold wind outside, so he got into Earl Dawson's tent.

Earl Dawson was very enthusiastic. He took out the spirits again and chatted with Colin.

I don't know if it was because the enemy was right in front of me, and the atmosphere in the camp was a little tense and anxious.

Of course, this is not to say that the fighters of the Black Cavalry are afraid.

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

The anxiety represented the urgency that they could not 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 chat for too long tonight. They also knew that the war was imminent, so they went to bed early to recharge their batteries.

Although it was the earl's tent, there were still seven or eight people in it, all of whom were the earl's retinue.

In order to maintain mobility, the Black Cavalry

The tents must be carried as little as they can, and even the earl can only temporarily squeeze together with his retinues.

Those in the entire army who are entitled to an exclusive camp are Marquis Garcia and Miss Vera.

Colin didn't dare to drill into the tents of these two people.

Although he really wanted to drill into the camp of the latter...

In fact, Earl Dawson's tent has already been calculated, and there can even be twenty or thirty big men squeezed into the tent of those ordinary soldiers.

With so many men crowded into a tent, the smell was inevitably a little savory, and the snoring was one after another, but after a day's trek, Colin, who was about to freeze, couldn't care about these, and almost fell asleep.

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

"What's the matter?" When Colin woke up, he realized that it was just past midnight, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

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

Hearing that it was the military order from the Marquis, Ke Lin, who was still a little angry, could only get up honestly.

The voices of officers waking up the soldiers were also heard from other camps, but the way these officers called people was not so gentle, and they all kicked directly with their feet.

"You bastard, sleep so dead! I've been in for so long without realizing it, what about your alertness?"

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

...

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

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

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

After Earl Dawson's explanation, Colin realized that he had been deceived by those unscrupulous novels.

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

Even if they really want to carry out night raids, they are usually mostly harassed by small-scale troops.

Large armies would never fight at night.

The reason is simple, night battles are too risky.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night can indeed catch the enemy by surprise, but it is also easy for oneself to fall into chaos due to factors such as poor military orders.

For the cavalry, night battles were even more impossible.

Because the night has more restrictions on war horses.

Let’s just talk about the terrain. Don’t look at the Cangqiang Icefield as a large plain, and 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 no less potholes.

These small ditches and moats are not a problem at all during the day, and the horses can gallop past them.

But at night, that's a deadly danger.

If you accidentally pouted a horse's hoof, the joke would be a big one.

Therefore, for a large army of cavalry, holding torches or marching slowly by moonlight is not enough, but if you want to launch a charge battle, you will be overwhelmed.

Marquis Garcia certainly wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

So at this moment, his order was only to let the black cavalry army approach the wolf cavalry camp carefully in the dark, rather than launch an attack in the dark.

No wonder Colin didn't understand this.

Although he did go to war with his father, Baron Angele, there were no organized cavalry in the Angele family's army.

The cavalry is such an expensive arm that the average little aristocrat can't afford it at all.

Therefore, he really knew very little about cavalry combat.

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

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

Although the entire marching process was not completely silent, it was definitely secret and quiet.

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

As soon as the prey noticed it, perhaps the sharp arrow had already been shot in front of him.

I don't know how long it took, Colin finally saw a light in the distance, it was the unextinguished bonfire in the troll camp!

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

At this moment, the military order of the marquis came again——

"The whole army rests on the spot!"

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

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

The moment the killing begins!
