When the morning light was faintly dewed, the soldiers began to pray.

Angru carefully washed his back for the red mane and whispered the mantras passed down from generation to generation:

"...At the top of the iron pillar stood an iron man, who was leaning on an iron stick, commanding iron tools, steel knives, sharp swords and all kinds of weapons: 'Go, go back to your mother's land, and avoid it The Lord’s servant and my friends, avoid my war horse. The arrow rod returns to the forest, the feathers return to the birds, and the fish bladder returns to the fish'…………”

Militias who had been struggling by the campfire all night gathered beside the priests to receive the final communion.

The chanting of scriptures was low in the purple mist, floating, and people's faces were filled with blurred blue light.

...

At the same time, on the other side of the Iron Peak, the banks of the Great Kao River.

The dam where some of the wooden piles were removed had become shaky and could collapse at any time.

Captain Morrow, wearing a mask, was laying out explosives, and he was the last person to stay in the dam.

On the shore, naked men worked together and yelled at the horn to push the huge triangle raft down the river.

Other civilians pushed the cart and loaded the rafts with stones in an orderly manner.

Out of everyone's sight, a team of fierce warriors riding Hed Horses were galloping towards the dam.

...

The golden crow leaped out of the horizon, and the fuzzy outline of the earth gradually became distinct in color.

Standing on the hill controlled by the Teltons, the Tiefeng County Army was fully equipped with a clear view of the troops.

"[Herd] Hey, if the master general of the two legs thought he could fight in the field by protecting his wings." The fire-growing man who climbed the mountain to watch the enemy looked down on him disdain: "[Herd] Then I think he ate carrion and went crazy. ”

The nobles of the Terdun tribe who were covered with armor agreed and laughed wildly.

Looking down from a high place, the ant-like villain at the foot of the mountain set out a huge array of arrows.

On the west side of the Arrow Cluster is the foothills of the Iron Peak Mountain, full of conifers and shrubs; on the east side of the Arrow Cluster is a dense primeval forest.

The little people spread out on the main road and the farmland on both sides, guarding the plains between the mountains and forests.

The other party's wings seemed safe, but in fact, neither the mountains nor the forest could completely prevent the cavalry from encircling.

The flat and empty farmland is even more dangerous to defend - except for the trenches that the other party temporarily dug in front of the position.

The Teldun Khan Court acted quickly, and several capable cavalry teams stopped and left the camp, looking for a way to go behind the arrow formation.

Lao Tongyi looked at the enemy formation at the foot of the mountain and frowned.

Since the forward encountered a confrontation between the central army, the opponent obviously had enough time to occupy the hills where he was - the terrain was higher and easier to defend.

However, the other party still chose to form a formation on the flat ground. Why?

The old master can't figure it out, but he didn't say anything. He was a little tired, and since he crossed the Big Kao River, the feeling became stronger and stronger.

From the perspective of the Terdun people, the formation of the Tiefeng County Army is like a cluster of arrows; from the perspective of the Tiefeng County Army, their formation is more similar to the upside-down letter T.

Winters arranged a front in battalion, with a total of twenty-seven battalions divided into three parts: left wing, central army and right wing.

Among them, the central army is the column with the strongest combat power, and each battalion adopts a fish scale arrangement to cover each other in an staggered manner.

The left and right wings are composed of [Youth Militia] and [Big Militia], with the overall position shrinking backwards, and two lines are arranged in a row - Young soldiers are in front and middle soldiers are in the back.

In order to prevent being detoured by the enemy as much as possible, Winters carefully chose this place as the battlefield.

"Forming a formation on the mountain is equivalent to allowing the enemy to surround our army. If the Terdun people choose to surround and not attack, our army's supplies will be difficult to maintain and will inevitably collapse."

When explaining the formation to his subordinates, Winters explained why he had to form a formation on the flat ground:

"Although the terrain is not conducive to our army, the enemy's right wing's near centaurs were either defeated by our army or trapped in Xiatiefeng County. The enemy chief's troops were limited and it was difficult to launch a powerful detour."

Looking around his subordinates, either eager to try or dodge their uneasy eyes, Winters inserted his dagger into the center of the map: "This narrow land between the mountains and forests is the most suitable battlefield to defeat the Terdens."

...

Mason stood at the top of the bell tower of the Rövodan Cathedral and tried his best to look into the distance.

The siege of Revodan has been lifted, and the streets and alleys are filled with celebratory crowds.

The only bridge connecting the two sides was demolished by Mason at the beginning of the siege, and fortunately the wood was preserved intact.

Mason built a temporary pontoon bridge over the river with boats, wood and remaining bridge piles, and horses, weapons and militias were continuously reaching the south shore through the pontoon bridge.

The artillery captain was always calm and composed, but at this moment his anxiety almost condensed into substance.

"When will the remaining two teams arrive?!" Mason asked gritted his teeth.

The commander of the Horse Infantry Brigade swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "It shouldn't be too long."

Winters's horse infantry brigade had a total of nearly five hundred people, and was organized into four squads.

Because the battle situation of Revodan was not urgent, the horse-riding infantry brigade rushed to Revodan as soon as possible, but went to sweep away the small group of Terdon raiders that penetrated Shangtifeng County. Mason also supported this.

However, it is easy to disperse troops, but it is difficult to assemble again.

Suddenly, the church bell rang.

The bells sounded one after another, and the monks were celebrating the victory of the siege.

Mason yelled at the commander of the Horse Infantry Brigade: "No more waiting!"

"Yes!" the other party yelled and replied.

The military police took to the streets to disperse the citizens, and Revodan quickly returned to martial law, and the militia defending the city reassembled in the square.

Mason told everyone straightforwardly: "I need volunteers."

As Mason's eyes swept over, the Revodan militia bowed their heads one after another. They finally survived, and no one was willing to take risks.

"Your Excellency, I can't ride a horse or a knife." Old Priskin pulled his grandson to Mason: "Let him go with you."

"Count him."

After a fierce ideological struggle, Ivan also raised his hand.

...

The sound of horns was everywhere, and the silhouettes of the cavalry jumped on the edge of vision - the Teltons began to march.

Just like the shepherds separated the mixed flocks, the nobles of Terdun led their troops down the hillside and slowly approached towards the people of Tiefeng County.

Looking at the barbarians all over the mountains, the [monkey] and [Doug] on the left wing of the front line had dry mouth, cold hands and feet, and the blood vessels in their temples were pounding with a "bang".

The greed of the leader who cuts the head is extinguished by a bucket of ice water poured from his head.

Monkey and Doug looked at each other, and both saw death in each other's eyes.

The Terdons stayed outside the range of the artillery and spread into a very wide horizontal formation.

A Telton light cavalry ran to the front of the formation with a spear and signaled to negotiate.

...

Center of the battlefield.

"Pay the tribute." The old general interpreter retelled the conditions that obviously would not be accepted by the other party: "Khan Paul will stop the army if he doesn't die."

The fire-growing man was not present, and a green feather came on his behalf.

Of course, the real purpose of negotiation is to explore the other party's reality and reality, and the actual leader is an inconspicuous old translation.

The fire-grower does not expect his opponent to surrender. But it would be better if the opponent really agrees to pay tribute.

Plundering means that the spoils are concentrated from bottom to top, and the tribute is distributed from top to bottom. Whenever possible, the leaders of all tribes are more willing to collect tributes.

Lao Tongyi looked at the strange combination in front of him: the tall and thin middle-aged man with a gentle and gentle bodyguard, and his two fully armed guards.

The former looked nervous, and his left hand holding the reins worked until his joints turned white, but his right hand didn't know where to put it.

On the contrary, the two guards' postures were more comfortable and relaxed.

Lao Tongzhi noticed that the tall and thin man occasionally glanced at the guard on the left, but he tried to resist the big moves.

He said a few words to Qing Lingyu, and Qing Lingyu immediately pretended to scold him loudly.

"Master Tuman asked you." Old Tongyi observed carefully: "Since you are negotiating, why don't you need to meet with me? Instead, use the substitute's sneaky trick?"

The tall and thin middle-aged man - Jacob Green was shocked when he heard this.

"No need for true appearance, I'm afraid of scaring you." Winters slowly took off his helmet: "Aren't you using the same trick? Mr. Tongzhi."

Just by hearing the other person's voice, a chill burst out from Lao Tongyi's spine. He looked at the face under the other person's helmet with a stiff expression and showed little by little.

When the other party's identity was completely confirmed, he felt nothing and became numb.

Qing Lingyu on the side was unknown, so: "[Herd] Who is this person?"

"[Hedd] that Paratu champion." Lao Tongzhi answered briefly.

There is no need to explain, for the Terdon people, there is only one Palatu champion.

Qing Lingyu subconsciously took a breath, and the war horse felt the panic of the cavalry and raised its front hooves and neighed.

"So that's it, so that's it!" In an instant, Lao Tongyi figured out the joints everywhere, and he laughed out of control: "Do you think you can win?"

"No matter who wins." Winters was unmoved and replied coldly: "You die first."
