Eugenie got off the horse, raised her hand and stroked the horse''s neck back and forth, comforting her in a soft voice: "good girl, it''s hard. Go eat some food and have a good rest."


    With that, she handed the reins to one side and handed the horses to the care of the accompanying knights.


    This woodland along the river is where they run for a rest in the afternoon. They had to rest. Even though the soldiers were still energetic and energetic, the horses were exhausted.


    "Where have we been?" Eugenie looked around.


    Previously, when a large group of people galloped, she could only focus on the front, so that she couldn''t take a good look at the scenery along the way.


    She once read about the river collar in the books her father rubbed back from the school city.


    According to the book, the Shanghe area is vast. Except for the two mountains in the north and East, most of the rest are endless wastelands.


    What the book says is right. Shangheling is a wasteland.


    If it were not for the rivers and woodlands on one side, she could hardly tell the difference between the surrounding scenery and an hour ago - the same withered and yellow turf spreading to the sky, the same undulating and low hills.


    Pace didn''t know where he was, but he knew he was moving north.


    "Come on, go to Lord Arthur."


    Pace put his hand on Eugenie''s shoulder and looked at the withered and yellow wilderness in front of her with a slightly regretful tone: "it''s winter. When I came here a few times ago, it''s very beautiful. Looking around, the earth is full of all kinds of wild flowers, colorful and nameless. The sky is also blue like gemstones, and white clouds are like scattered sheep."


    "Now it''s like a piece of yellow bread," Eugene''s mouth shriveled, "and there''s mold!"


    Amused by Eugenie''s metaphor, pace raised his hand and rubbed her head, saying, "next time, next time we''ll come back in summer, you''ll see the beautiful scenery here, and maybe you can ride a horse to catch the prey."


    "Who knows when," Eugenie said. "When the war here is over, we must return immediately, or my father will think that we are also imprisoned by Lingfeng castle and there will be a mess in the castle."


    "It''s a mess now! Who let Bi sneak out!"


    Eugenie hummed and, without any excuse, turned and walked directly to Arthur and others.


    Of course she has a reason to run out.


    At the moment, Arthur is discussing the battle plan with bank and others.


    Because there were no tables and chairs, everyone sat around on a black coarse linen blanket with a map in the middle.


    "Kiel green and others set out from here last night," Arthur pointed out on the map with a branch. "They should be near here now. If they are fast enough, they may have crossed the river and located just north of us. However, they have more than 3000 people and carry too many materials. They may not have passed the double hole bridge, but the distance will not be too far..."


    Eugenie and pace sat quietly, while the axe and the accompanying Knight stepped aside.


    While listening carefully to Arthur''s explanation, they followed the stick in his hand and moved their eyes back and forth on the map.


    They heard Arthur''s words clearly, just the map in front of them - is this a map?


    The two brothers and sisters turned their heads and looked at each other. They both saw doubt and confusion from each other''s eyes.


    Is this really a map?


    What''s on it?


    Is this where we are now? This light green... Is it the woodland next to it? This blue... Is it a river?


    Due to the serious people on one side, the brother and sister could resist their doubts and honestly pretend to listen attentively.


    Arthur looked up at his brother and sister, with a funny smile on his mouth, and didn''t hurry to explain to them.


    This map is a topographic map of the contour line of Shanghe collar, which he ordered his bachelor to draw in combination with the drawing knowledge in his mind.


    In addition to the tangled contour lines, the map also draws rivers, roads, swamps, woodlands and other landforms in four colors. And according to the color depth, it indicates the difficulty of walking.


    Although the accuracy of this map is limited by conditions, it is many times higher than the plane picture map of the world.


    Pace and Eugenie would never have thought that in order to draw such a topographic map, the soldiers of the first army had visited almost every corner of the upper river collar.


    "My Lord," said bank, "in this way, we are at least 400 miles away from Kiel green and others. The battle time is urgent, and it''s at night."


    "No problem, the night is good for me," Grice frowned. "Although we are two days later than planned because of the woman of telosi, thanks to the war horses they provide, the soldiers are at least riding in pairs, and they can catch up with them before dark."


    The fighting horses leading up the river are very excellent. They can gallop at a speed of up to 40 miles per hour. However, they must stop and rest at regular intervals, otherwise the horses will be worn out and not conducive to the battle.


    Now, if you ride two people, you can drive more than twenty miles forward. Changing horses back and forth, although the speed gradually decreases, five or six hours is enough to catch up with Kiel green and others.


    After a little thought, Arthur said, "we don''t have to worry too much. At the current speed, we still have at least one day. Although the night sneak attack is good for us, everyone will be very tired and the horses will be overwhelmed. And this will increase our casualties."


    "But tonight is the best time," Grice said. "The number of the other party is ten times that of us. Most of them are serfs, but they are enough to hinder the cavalry''s charge. Only at night, they dare not rush out of the camp and can''t find out our reality."


    According to the initial battle plan, Arthur and others will first solve Taylor West, and then turn around and go east to solve the green and Davidson families.


    However, the general marching speed of Taile''s journey to the West was two days later than their estimated time to enter the river collar. As a result, the Green family and other people went north and entered the hinterland of Shanghe collar.


    "I suddenly thought of a wonderful idea." looking up at the people, Arthur showed a bad smile: "since they have gone so far, why don''t we let them go into the Lord''s forest. What do you think?"


    "This..."


    Bank and others looked at each other and didn''t understand what Arthur meant for a moment.


    After forbearing, Grice said, "Lord Arthur, if we let them into the Lord''s forest, it will be difficult for us to launch an effective attack again! Those serfs can sneak attack our soldiers with sharp branches!"


    Before Arthur could reveal the answer, Eugenie, who had guessed his idea, came to pace''s ear and whispered, "this guy is really bad."


    Pace was confused. Hearing the speech, he immediately bowed his head and asked, "why do you say that?"


    Eugenie bumped pace and motioned him to look at Arthur.


    In the face of several people''s confusion about their sudden change of battle plan, Arthur said with a smile: "I didn''t say to launch an attack. Since they have entered the forest, they should stay inside all the time."


    Bank and others were stunned. After they wanted to understand, they leaned back slightly and looked up.


    "This..."


    Several people all showed a bad smile. In their mind, Kiel green and others were trapped in the forest, looking like hungry and unkempt savages.


    This... Is too bad!


    But, good.
