When the boats on the river quietly left the rear camp, a ghost faced Eagle waved its wings, raised a gust of wind, and slowly fell on the bow of the boat.
The soldiers of the first army were all calm, and the boatman and horses were blindfolded in advance, so there was no disturbance.
When the ghost faced Eagle fell, a soldier immediately came forward and tied the extended lead rope to the sharp claw that had pierced the board. After all operations were completed, the ghost faced Eagles standing at the bow immediately flapped their wings and flew. While pulling the lead rope straight, they dragged the ship to the South quickly.
On the dark river bank, a cluster of bright fire is particularly conspicuous. Arthur and others all stood on the shore, wrapped in cloaks, quietly waiting for the arrival of the first army soldiers.
"Here you are, my Lord!" said Rhett, who had been staring at the river. At this time, everyone also saw the shadow of the ship coming quickly from the upper stream and a large group of ghost faced Eagles waving wings in the air.
When the ship landed, the soldiers of the first army acted immediately. First, they untied the guide rope tied to the feet of the ghost faced eagle. After the ghost faced Eagle flew away, they immediately set up a board, led the horse and fished through the ship.
"My Lord!"
"My Lord!"
"Lord Arthur!"
……
Seeing Arthur and others standing by the fire, the soldiers of the first army were all very excited. No matter what kind of combat action will take place next, the scene of the ghost faced Eagle pulling the boat at night has already made them excited.
Under Grice''s scolding, the soldiers of the first army quickly lined up. After looking at the oil tanks brought with the ship, Arthur explained the plan of burning grain and grass, and then asked the people to pull the horses, walk up the avenue and quietly approach the enemy camp only more than 20 miles north.
With a team of tens of thousands of people, the camp stretches for nearly kilometers.
On the left side of the avenue are the residences of knights. Tents are scattered and orderly. Many of them are still flying the flags of their families. The serfs are on the right side near the river, which is close to the water source, so that they can get water and work. The grain and grass are located at the south end of the whole camp.
On large-scale expeditions, the nobles often carried more than vegetarian foods such as soybeans, potatoes, wheat and barley. They also carried all kinds of meat, and even drove a number of livestock with the army, so that they could slaughter and eat fresh meat at any time.
For example, on his way to Bedouin, the stingy Sir Robert gave Ted Barrett and all his vassals 25 pigs and 15 sheep in addition to his own food and grass.
In addition to the livestock driven by the other feudal ministers, there is a large livestock shed at the south end of the camp, in addition to more than ten tents and horse sheds filled with grain and grass.
In the dark, Arthur led the team to the camp ahead.
People of the Barrett family never thought that someone would sneak attack at night. Few people can use such a combat method. Therefore, beside several fires at the southernmost end of the camp, most of the night watchmen have fled back to their tents, and the remaining poor ghosts are sleepy wrapped in blankets.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The feather arrow crossed the night and killed more than ten soldiers next to several fires with one arrow. The sporadic sobs could not cause any movement.
Arthur waved his hand, and everyone rushed into the camp immediately. According to the plan, the castle guard was responsible for playing the new night watchman and guard, and the 100 soldiers of the first army were responsible for spraying black fire oil.
Under the cover of night, time passed quickly in silence and tension. During this period, several soldiers who got up to pee were killed quietly.
Soon, all the food and grass were drenched with fire oil. The soldiers of the first army lit torches. After turning over and getting on the horse, they all threw them out under Arthur''s command. Suddenly, fire snakes gathered, and the raging flame lit up the south end of the whole camp!
The first reaction was horses and livestock. The raging fire made them rush out of the wooden fence, whistling and running around.
Then there were serfs and knights who heard the noise. They rushed out of the tent, saw the fire all over the sky, and shouted to their sleeping companions.
Soon someone began to carry water to put out the fire, but the flame ignited by black fire oil could not be put out with water at all.
Horses collided and livestock fled. In the shouting, more and more people came to the fire, but after a while, looking at the fire that could not be put out, one by one could only despair and scream!
The enemy''s cry is his own laughter.
At this time, Arthur and others, who had been hiding for several miles, all rode on the highland beside the avenue and smiled at the bright and warm fire in the distance.
"Lord Arthur, this is a great success!" Rett shouted excitedly. "Without these food, these bastards can only withdraw their troops and have to raise food and grass again immediately!"
Grice also laughed and said, "it''s so happy. I didn''t expect to fight like this! Think of the despair of those guys. It seems that I can smell the smell of food burning here!"
"We have to thank Marquis Ted Barrett!" Bogu laughed sarcastically. "If he hadn''t taken away a large number of knights wisely, we might not be so smooth! I don''t know if he would spit blood and fall to the ground happily after knowing what happened tonight!"
"Lord marquis is indeed a good man!" Arthur sighed with a smile.
After everyone laughed and celebrated again, he said solemnly, "everyone, although we have won a good victory tonight, the war is not over yet. Now is not the time to relax and celebrate. Let''s find a place to rest nearby tonight, and there will be a new battle waiting for us tomorrow!"
"Yes."
Just as Arthur and others disappeared into the night, bank and milt, who had been waiting on the fortress wall of Xiangguo town in the north, suddenly burst into a burst of warm cheers when they looked at the bright fire in the enemy camp!
"Lord Arthur is so divine!" milt shouted with ecstasy, grasping bank''s shoulders.
Originally, he was very afraid of the Barrett family, but with the development of the war, he gradually found that the other party was not so terrible, especially in front of Arthur, the army of the Barrett family was as fragile as a child and was played around!
the second day.
Just before dawn, Arthur and others ambushed by the Avenue had intercepted and killed more than a dozen Knights heading south. The ghost faced Eagle circling in the air also caught several letter birds heading south one after another.
The army has no food and grass. Whether it is to withdraw or stay, it must quickly inform Ted Barrett and ask the nearby farm to raise food immediately.
Arthur didn''t intend to stay here all the time, kill knights and catch letter birds, just to let the news of grain and grass burning be transmitted later.
Now, the army of the Barrett family is divided into two parts, which are not connected with each other. It is a good time for him to be quick and unprepared!
After a quick breakfast, Arthur led the crowd and ran south.
At noon, Arthur and others in the Robert family manor west of Bedouin town fell like magic soldiers. After killing more than 10 knights and more than 20 soldiers, they burned the whole manor in two hours.
Watching the fire devouring property, sir Andrey Robey, who is known as a miser, was directly angry.
Arthur didn''t have time to enjoy the beautiful fire. After watching the roaring fire in the Robert family''s manor, he led the men and horses to the south again.
At noon the next day, he released the letter bird he had caught.
On the morning of the third day, he had led 50 knights to the southwest of kramen town and ambushed beside the Avenue outside the anbit family farm. In addition, Grice and Bogu, with 100 First Army soldiers, ambushed outside the Menger family farm west of Menger town yesterday.
……
When the news of the burning of grain and grass was received, Ted Barrett was leading more than a thousand men and horses from the Menger family territory to the river bank south of the Robey family territory.
He tore the letter paper to pieces and Ted Barrett cursed in a rage. He felt that these people were like a donkey who was attracted by a carrot hanging in front of him and kept grinding in circles!
Angry, he ordered one after another.
First of all, he denied Cedric''s and others'' consideration of retreat, and then asked Andrey Robey to pay careful attention to Arthur''s and others'' whereabouts. Then he ordered the four vassals next to him to order their farms to let the Knights stationed in the farms transport grain north as quickly as possible. Finally, he took more than a thousand people and horses and only rushed to Bedouin town!
However, the real bad news is far more than that.
