Uzzenbey didn''t expect yelishei to be so brave. Even after hassar and them returned to akman, Muhammad graii and bayazid Khan were shocked when they learned about yelishei''s crazy move. Then, Muhammad gley''s heart ached because the sea he finally accepted was brought to a dead end by a madman. But Christina is full of confidence in yelishei. She comforts Muhammad gley that yelishei and Nahai will come back safely.
As for Christina''s promise, although Muhammad gley didn''t say anything, it can be seen from his decadent expression that he didn''t believe it.
The return of a group of wounded soldiers with many scars to Ackerman also cast a shadow of failure on the army and people of the city preparing for the war. And will the fate of yelishei and Nahai really be as Muhammad gley and others imagined?
After they separated from hazar, elishea led the cavalry forward. They walked along the South Bank of the Dniester River and soon came to the only bridge near the Dniester river.
On this bridge, uzenbei has set up a post, in which about 50 infantry and 30 cavalry are stationed. Yelishei and the sea carefully lurked nearby, but they did not scare the snake.
"At the beginning, LAN gley''s army must go here. Because this is the only place where a bridge has been built, and because the Dniester river bends here, the water flow is gentle," said Nahai.
Then he pointed to a forest in the distance.
"That''s a natural ambush place. It''s a good place to hide. You can''t hide any more. Look, yelishei, the woods are endless. You can''t see the end at a glance. Even thousands of people hide in it."
For the selection and analysis of the sea, yelishei repeatedly nodded yes. He also thought that the forest was a good place to ambush. But yelishei had a worry about whether the enemies in the post would enter the woods to hunt, because this was the habit of Tatars marching and fighting, and they had always confused combat with hunting.
In response, Nahai said, "it''s really possible. However, as long as we set up sentries, closely monitor the movement on the shore and arrange camping in the depths of the woods, we believe it''s not easy to be exposed."
But yelishei was still worried. He and the sea went into the woods to explore. At the edge of the forest, they found some animal blood and hair, as well as the traces of the campfire, which was still very new.
"The enemy did come here," yelishei said to the sea.
The sea was gloomy because it meant it was not safe here.
They moved on again. After more than 200 meters, all traces of human beings disappeared.
Obviously, it''s safe here.
This renewed hope for yelishei and Nahai. They opened up an open space 500 meters deep in the woods and built a shack with branches and fur. Because making a fire will expose the target, they can only eat roasted millet and meat floss. This is common in Tatars, but Hessian mercenaries are miserable. They complain all the time. In this regard, yelisi can only use strict military laws and high rewards after the war to lure them to continue to endure.
Every day, yelishei and Nahai will take a small team of reconnaissance troops out to explore the Dniester River, but the Bank of the river is always quiet.
How long do these days last. On the morning of the third day, yelishei was awakened by the sound of the wings of countless birds. He saw countless birds in the sky blocking out the sun, flying over their heads and through the treetops. Seeing this scene, yelishei and Nahai passed on credits to each other.
"They''re coming, they''re coming!"
This word spread among Hessian mercenaries and Tatar Raiders. After so many days, everyone can finally get out of this damn place. Everyone is gearing up to vent their grievances on the enemy.
Yelishei left the sea to organize his team, while he led a small team of soldiers out of the woods quietly and lurked near the ferry bridge.
On the other side of the Dniester River, the yellow land has been crowded with countless brown felt hats, silver helmets and white high hats. At a glance, it can hardly see the edge. It is a sea of people.
"Oh, my God, there are people who can make a world here," sighed a Hessian mercenary. He had never seen so many people even in the busiest market since he was a child in the countryside.
The first to cross the river were the cattle and sheep driven by the herdsmen. The herdsmen drove the cattle and sheep together with a harness pole and drove them onto the bridge. Cattle and sheep kept shouting. They crowded with each other and rushed across the river. Along the way, cattle and sheep kept leaving feces on the bridge. The strong smell could even smell the lurking yelishei and others.
"It''s strange that the Russians and Ukrainians are afraid of them. If I fight with such a group of smelly guys, I''ll be dizzy before I start fighting." another joked.
Next came a group of cavalry in red nomadic robes and pointed hats. But they are more like trumpeters than cavalry. For what they hold in their hands is not a sword, but a musical instrument. These drummers played music, and behind them were countless teams of cavalry with different flags. These cavalry as many as nearly 10000 people, most of them ride pack horses and grassland horses, and they don''t have much metal armor. Obviously, these are the cannon fodder of the Khanate.
But the cannon fodder alone exceeded the sum of Ackerman''s defenders. The number of them is ten times and a hundred times that of the cavalry led by yelisi.
Of course, it is impossible for so many people to cross the bridge. Some Tatars stopped their horses on the Bank of the river. They found branches of moderate thickness to connect them, and then took out transparent leather bags. These skins are made of bovine bladder and sheep bladder. After blowing them up and tying them under the branches, they are simple rafts.
Soon, countless herdsmen puffed up their cheeks like frogs on the Bank of the river, blowing into the bladder of cattle and sheep, and bulging the bladder into a ball. In this way, rafts appeared on the Dniester river.
At noon, more than half of the people had crossed the river. Yelishei was not impatient. Because he knows these are small shrimps. The real big fish hasn''t arrived yet.
More than an hour later, a six tailed signal appeared in yelishei''s vision - at the beginning, LAN gley''s team arrived.
