Fortunately, the many problems Yin Meng encountered were quickly resolved.
His teacher, another famous general of the empire who has made a contribution in battle, led an army to join in.
A few days later, it was supposed to be a peaceful afternoon. The soldiers set up defenses at Kuqiao step by step, and built fortifications under the loud orders of the commanders to prevent enemy attacks.
woo-
However, at this moment, a loud horn sounded from the watchtower of the camp.
The trumpet sound soon spread to every corner of the Reach army.
All the soldiers who were working and resting have put down their work, and some walked out of the camp, not knowing what happened.
"what happened?"
"Could it be that the First Prince's army has arrived?"
Many of the Reach armies were made up of peasants, who were forced to participate in the war.
Even many of them have never seen blood in their lives, so when they heard the war, they only felt a little weak in their legs, and couldn't help praying in their hearts.
Their greatest wish is to be able to live and work in peace and contentment, but it is a pity that the superiors do not think so.
In the civilian husband's camp of the army in the Reach, the horn sounded loudly, and an old man with gray hair and messy body, with a thin body, but his eyes were particularly bright, reacted quickly.
It's like an instinctive reaction of the body.
"Enemy attack?"
He shuddered when he heard the voice.
Then he jumped directly from the ground, pulled an axe from a wooden stake beside him, and held it tightly in his hand.
"Boys, follow me after the war!"
"Don't be self-righteous!"
Then he turned his head to face the young men who had been caught as strong men from the same village, and said in a hoarse and slightly stern tone.
"Uncle Iger."
And the few hairy boys who heard his words were full of fear, but they nodded obediently and agreed.
Because they heard their parents mention it, this uncle seemed to be a mercenary who wandered across the Narrow Sea at first, and then joined the Imperial Expeditionary Force by chance.
Then he followed his legion from King's Landing, crossed the narrow sea by boat in the long night, and came to another unfamiliar continent to fight against the common enemy of mankind, the White Walkers.
It is said that the old Iger has participated in many battles with the White Walkers, and even made meritorious deeds and participated in the legendary Battle of Kohor.
Hundreds of thousands of people died and only a few remained, but Old Iger was one of the survivors, crawling out of the sea of corpses and blood.
He was a human hero fighting the White Walkers for soldiers of the Imperial Expeditionary Force.
Maybe he should have been named a knight, he had his own land, and he could be a high-ranking knight.
However, Iger's luck was not very good. When he returned to the original legion by boat, his quota was secretly bribed by others.
However, he was only a small soldier, and he had nowhere to file a lawsuit in King's Landing, so he could only admit his fault and obediently took a sum of money and left.
Later, Xinma found a village. He called himself Iger and lived with a widow here.
It is said that he had an illegitimate child, but he did not know where, and then the widow died, and Iger never looked for it again, and was always alone.
Twenty years later, this time the battle for the succession broke out. Many nobles who decided to follow the second prince Yin Meng began to recruit soldiers from nearby villages.
However, it sounds good to call soldiers, but in fact it is to capture the strong, because since ancient times, wars have relied on catching the strong.
And the old Iger has no relatives, no wife, no children, no one cares if such a person dies, and it is best to bully him, so it is unlucky to be taken away again.
However, no one knew that this was a veteran soldier who had experienced hundreds of battles. He would definitely not be able to go to the battlefield at his age. Therefore, like many old and young people who were arrested, he came as a civilian. Use, responsible for burning firewood for the guys.
And these young people who were arrested from the same village were told by their parents before leaving that they must listen to old Iger in the army.
Because old Iger is a legend in the village among his generation, these parents believe that only he can lead their children to escape from the battlefield alive...
However, the trumpet sounded loudly, and there was chaos in the Reach Camp, and people panicked, but then the misunderstanding was quickly resolved.
Because the horn sounded, but there was no response from the central tent, which is the core of the entire army, and the strong soldiers who were in charge of the battle did not move, and still lay in the tent and slept.
"Whoo~"
"It's alright, boys."
"It looks like it's just a misunderstanding, maybe our reinforcements have arrived."
The experienced old Iger observed for a while and then heaved a sigh of relief.
Because it is obvious that this army is not the enemy, but should be reinforcements.
Old Iger's ability to survive in so many battles is not due to his bravery, because no matter how brave a soldier is, he can't guarantee that he can survive every time he is on the front line of the battlefield.
Soldiers who survive on the battlefield are either lucky, or have vision, smart brains, and quick reactions.
Old Iger is the latter. He is experienced, quick-witted, cunning and deceitful. He knows that in the military camp, you can't indulge in alcohol or paralyze yourself because of fear~www.mtlnovel.com~To survive, you must work hard wind direction.
It is obvious that the commander of an army is the biggest weather vane, and every decision he makes is related to the life and death of countless people.
However, it is a pity that the military tent is often not so easy to approach.
After all, the central military tent is the core of an army. The place where the army commander and generals meet is naturally heavily guarded, which is very important, and the surrounding areas outside the central military tent are the most elite main forces and commanders of the entire army. Surrounded by cronies.
Therefore, since the movement of the Central Military Account cannot be observed, the soldiers in an army have become the most important weather vane.
Old Iger had survived many battles twenty years ago, and his eyes were naturally very vicious.
The soldiers are elite troops wearing armor and armor, but the plate armor is tens of kilograms on the body, and the people who are covered in summer are about to faint from heat stroke.
Therefore, only before the start of the battle will these soldiers wear armor with the help of auxiliary soldiers. It is not necessary to wear armor all the time, including marching, otherwise, they will not have to fight and will be exhausted.
Therefore, an army suffers heavy losses during the long march and when it encounters a battalion, because the soldiers are killed before they can even put on the cumbersome armor.
However, at this time, there was a loud noise again in the distance, and many people gathered around and didn't know what they were looking at. There were also many people here in Minfuying to join in the fun.
"Um?"
"What happened? I'll go and see."
And Old Iger threw down the axe in his hand, his eyes signaled the boys in his village to stay where they were, and he stepped forward to see the situation by himself.
