Chapter 53: Fighting with water

Marshal Skaya was anxious because he was worried about the comfort of the imperial capital. He ordered the army to travel day and night to quickly rush to the city of Roland, the capital of Kaile.

Along the way, the army did not disarm its armor, and the horses remained untied. They slept in the wind and slept in the open, but did not fill their stomachs with hunger.

The army was running at full speed for three days and three nights. When Marshal Skaya saw that the Hongdu army could not catch up, he ordered the army to rest on the spot and ignite the fire and turn on the stove.

Just as the army of Grand Marshal Skaya stopped to rest, the smoke and dust in the rear of the army were waving. The sound of war drums and horse hooves resounded through the wilderness.

"Master Marshal, something is not good, the Hongdu army is catching up!"

Even without informing, Grand Marshal Skaya had already seen the rolling smoke and dust in the distance and the military flags waving in Hongdu.

Seeing the smoke and dust rolling in the sky, Marshal Skaya frowned and ordered in a deep voice: "The army should move out quickly and not be restrained by the Hongdu army."

After saying that, Grand Marshal Skaya looked at the adjutant Digfe with a serious expression and said solemnly: "Digfe obeys the order!"

Adjutant Digfey looked solemn and bowed to answer the order: "The villain is here!"

"Let you command 50,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry to cut off the rear and block the Hongdu army. It is necessary to restrain the Hongdu army and prevent it from chasing the army with all its strength."

"After orders, the villain will swear to hold the Hongdu army to the death, and will not disappoint the Grand Marshal."

Before Skaya's army could rest, he immediately set out again. Adjutant Digfe led 50,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry to fight against the Hongdu army.

The two armies fought, and in an instant, they killed people and changed their colors. Adjutant Digfey commanded the army and fought bloody battles and refused to retreat. It was adjutant Digfey's spirit of fearlessness that made his soldiers fight to the death and never surrender.

Facing the sword light and sword shadows, soldiers fought bloody battles, adding a tragic color to the battle. The soldiers on both sides were so excited that the heaven and earth were moved.

The dark clouds rolled in the sky and the dull thunder made the fierce battle even wilder. After a while, heavy rain fell from the sky and poured down.

The Skaya army was not far away, but the marching speed was slowed down by heavy rain.

The downpour of rainstorms made the road muddy and difficult to walk in an instant. The war horses walked on the muddy road, and their horses' hooves slipped and fell to the ground from time to time.

The huge raindrops fell with the wind, and it hurt the soldiers' faces. The heavy rain soaked the armor, making the soldiers pressed like heavy objects. It was extremely difficult to walk.

As the army marched, war horses and soldiers fell to the ground from time to time. Marching in heavy rain, making the army extremely difficult to move forward.

Looking at the pouring rain and the muddy roads, Marshal Skaya frowned. Although he was anxious, he had no choice but to keep ordering the army to move forward in the rain.

Fortunately, the heavy rain came quickly and went quickly. In less than an hour, the sky cleared.

The sky is clear and the wind is bright, making people feel as if the storm, storm, lightning and thunder just now were just illusions. Only the muddy roads and the army full of disgraces confirmed to the world that everything that just now was real.

Marshal Skaya did not care about the army's rest and kept ordering the army to continue moving forward.

Although the sky cleared, the road was still muddy and difficult to move after heavy rain. The speed of the army was still not very fast. Fortunately, such a bad road situation was the same for the Hongdu army.

The army was marching hard on the muddy road, and the chariots were trapped in the muddy pit from time to time. The soldiers had to stop from time to time and pull out the chariots that were trapped in the mud.

The army stopped and walked slowly, and after three miles of slow journey, they finally got rid of the muddy mud and entered Fenglin Mountain.

Fenglin Mountain is the main road to Kaile imperial capital, and is composed of endless low mountains. The entire mountain area is extremely sparse, and most of the mountains are bare. The residents here call this Madanzi Mountain, which is used to describe the lack of plants and trees here.

"The Grand Marshal, the Fenglin Mountains are ahead. You can reach Fenglin River after walking about fifteen miles." The marching counselor bowed and reported.

Marshal Skaya naturally knew the situation here and why the marching consultant reported to him. The army had not been able to rest for several days, and was already exhausted. The marching consultant was reminding him to rest and have dinner near Fenglinjian.

Looking at the marching consultant, Grand Marshal Skaya nodded and ordered in a deep voice: "Tell me the order of commander, and the army marched to Fenglinjian at full speed, and then rest and have a meal."

With the order of Grand Marshal Skaya, the soldiers who had been exhausted seemed to be suddenly energetic. The soldiers seemed to have absorbed the cream of longevity and cheered and walked towards Fenglinjian at full speed.

The rugged mountain paths are covered with rocks, making the roads extremely difficult to walk. The heavy car chased by gravel from time to time blocked the progress.

The originally exhausted soldiers were already anxious at this time, and they all tried hard to pull the car and chased them like gods. They moved forward in the rocks, but they were still walking as fast as flying.

The army arrived in less than an hour after a fifteen-mile journey. Seeing Fenglinjian with a trickle of water, the soldiers looked excited and their fatigue was revealed. It seemed as if they were suddenly discharged. The soldiers only felt tired and tired.

Although the soldiers were exhausted, Marshal Skaya did not dare to be careless at all. He still ordered the soldiers to keep their armor and horses away from their saddles.

Fearing that he was caught by the Hongdu army, Marshal Skaya sent another scout to inquire about the enemy's whereabouts on the way he came.

The exhausted soldiers of the Kaile Empire sat panting by the stream in Fenglinjian, taking water to quench their thirst, closing their eyes to rest.

Soldiers in groups of three or three, holding large pots to get water by the stream, preparing to light the fire and cook.

Marshal Skaya looked at the soldiers who were fetching water by the stream, and suddenly frowned, feeling something strange. After a careful observation, Marshal Skaya did not notice any abnormality, so he had to call the marching consultant who was familiar with the place.

"I wonder what instructions do you have for the Grand Marshal Skaya, who was calling the villain?" The marshal consultant looked at the slightly heavy Marshal Skaya, who was slightly heavy between his eyebrows and asked carefully.

Marshal Skaya pointed at Fenglinjian and asked, "Look at Fenglinjian, how is it different from the past?"

The marching consultant looked at Feng Linjian in confusion, and after careful observation for a long time, he found nothing unusual. He could only look awkward, shook his head and said cautiously: "You are the Grand Marshal, the villain is incompetent, and you can't see any difference from the past."

When Grand Marshal Skaya heard this, he looked worried and said with great concern: "I have not found any difference, but I always feel inexplicably uneasy in my heart. I wanted you to solve my doubts, but you can't see any difference."

The marching consultant heard that Grand Marshal Skaya was uneasy, and did not feel that Grand Marshal was suspicious. Instead, he felt that the intuition developed by Grand Marshal in the war was reminding him.

The marching consultant did not say much, and carefully observed the surrounding environment again.

Marshal Skaya's expression became more and more serious, and the uneasy feeling in his heart made him feel more and more frightened. Although there are many low mountains near Fenglinjian, there are no lush dense forests. Even if there are enemies lying on the nearby mountains, you can still see it at a glance at the foot of the mountain.

"Since there is no enemy ambush here, why does it still make me so frightened?" Grand Marshal Skaya thought hard, but could not find a reasonable explanation. In the end, he had to shake his head and think that he was a little suspicious.

The march consultant carefully observed the surrounding environment, and he could be said to be very familiar with the surrounding environment. Marshal Skaya's uneasiness attracted enough attention.

Several low mountains nearby can be seen at a glance. Not to mention ambushing thousands of troops, even a few people will be discovered. Therefore, there should be no enemies nearby lying here.

The only mountain that can ambush the army is the Fengtian Peak in the distance. Fengtian Peak is the highest peak in the entire Fenglin Mountain Range. Fengtian Peak is like the mountain range here. There are few trees on the mountain and cannot hide the army. However, above Fengtian Peak, there is a huge Tianchi Lake, and there is only the only place where the army can be hidden.

While Grand Marshal Skaya and the marching consultant were still thinking, he suddenly heard a low and dull sound from afar. The dull sound was not deafening, as if it was made from a very far away.

The tired army did not even hear the dull sound, and the soldiers were drowsy.

However, Grand Marshal Skaya and the marching consultant heard the unheard low and dull sounds. Their expressions changed at the same time and they looked into the distance.

Because the entire Fenglin Mountains are densely covered with mountains, the dull sound echoes in the mountains, making it impossible to tell the source of the sound.

After a while, roars came from afar. The low roar was like the sound of thousands of horses galloping, becoming clearer and clearer.

Marshal Skaya's expression changed and he immediately ordered the drums of war. However, he was puzzled in his heart: "Listen to the sound of thousands of horses galloping, it seemed that at least 100,000 cavalry were rushing towards here. But the rocks were scattered between the mountain roads, how could the cavalry come so fast?"

The marching consultant suddenly thought of something, his face was as pale as paper, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He shouted hoarsely in a panic and trembling voice: "The big thing is not good, the Grand Marshal quickly ordered the soldiers by the stream to evacuate urgently!"

Looking at the pale face of the marching consultant, Marshal Skaya was shocked and suddenly realized why he was uneasy. It turned out that when the army headed to the border, he had been stationed in Fenglinjian for a day. Last time he came here, the water in Fenglinjian was as good as today.

Now, after a heavy rain attack, the stream should be sufficient. It was this small thing that was not easy to detect that made him ignore it for a while and could not remember it.
