February 24, 291 in the imperial calendar of the British Empire( (the day Su Cheng meets a horse thief)

14:3 p.m.

Britannia Empire, north, Avalon fortress, Willie's office.

Today is also a very leisurely day.

Therefore, Willie and the military commanders who are now staying in the fortress rarely gather in Willie's office, drinking black tea and chatting together.

This time, the people were very neat. Even Samuel, who usually slept and slept most of the time, was also in Willie's office and had tea with Willie and others.

Except for Dale, who is now in the No. 1 base, all the commanders in the Fortress - Raymond, Samuel and Gary are here now.

The three of them were drinking black tea and chatting with Willie. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

"As early as in the rescue war of Lund kingdom in 289, I saw the extraordinary of our commander." While drinking black tea, Willie talked about the past between him and Su Cheng.

Talk about your acquaintances - this is one of the most commonly used topics when people chat.

"I was the commander of the third army at that time. After the war of annihilation of the Victoria River, I was responsible for leading the third army to cross the Victoria River and launch a feint against the enemy."

"When launching the feint, because the regiment commander was too close to the front line, there would be some cold arrows from time to time."

"I saw it very clearly at that time - a cold arrow was almost shot against the head's face."

"At that time, they frightened me and the leader's sister."

"If the trajectory of this arrow is slightly straightened, the head of the commander can be shot out, and we will experience the feeling of the death of the commander of the whole army again."

"However, although I and the head's sister were terrified at that time, the head shot at him like nothing. He still didn't change his face and didn't blink."

"When I saw this behind the scenes, I decided: the head is not an ordinary person, and his future achievements will never be low."

"Similar things have happened more than once. In last year's "Xia Feng" offensive, I served as the commander's adjutant and commanded the East Road army together with the commander. "

"During the 'summer wind' offensive, we were attacked by the enemy at night, and tens of thousands of enemy troops attacked our base camp in the dark."

"In such a critical situation, the regimental commander remained unchanged and quickly calmed the morale of the army. Judging from the sound, the enemy's attack was a feint, then inferred the enemy's main attack direction according to the nearby terrain, arranged the tactics in a very short time, and successfully killed the other side. "

"To tell you the truth, I've always been curious about how the regimental commander can keep calm in the face of danger... Is his concentration trained or trained the day after tomorrow..."

After listening to Willie's story, Raymond looked forward to it.

"Captain... I'm really strong... I really hope I can become such a strong person like Captain in the future..."

Just when this small tea party is going on in such a relaxed and warm atmosphere——

Knock knock knock knock knock!

There was a sudden rush of knocking outside the door.

"Your Excellency deputy head! A letter from a carrier pigeon! "

"Carrier pigeon?" Willie frowned.

"It's rare." Gary murmured, "there will be a letter from a carrier pigeon... Whose letter is it..."

Using carrier pigeons to transmit messages - this way of transmitting information has always been in a very embarrassing position.

Because of the embarrassing position of carrier pigeons, carrier pigeons are rarely used now. Therefore, Gary can't help but sigh "rare".

The carrier pigeon is in such an awkward position mainly because of its very fatal weaknesses.

First of all - it's not so convenient to send a message with a carrier pigeon.

The reason why people can use carrier pigeons to send messages depends on the homing nature of carrier pigeons. In short, carrier pigeons can't go anywhere, but only return to their own nest. People can only send the letter to the place where the carrier pigeon's nest is located.

Secondly, it is also very unsafe to use carrier pigeons to transmit messages. If carrier pigeons are used to transmit important military and political affairs, they are captured or killed by the enemy and intercepted intelligence, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, when delivering important military information and political affairs, no one will use carrier pigeons. They all use the relatively safest method: let people ride a fast horse to deliver.

From the beginning of this small tea party to now, Samuel, who has rarely talked and has been drinking tea silently, said to others in the presence without expression and "inadvertently":

"Carrier pigeons... Speaking of it - when he left the fortress, in order to facilitate contact with us in case of emergencies, the commander took away several carrier pigeons whose nests were set in the fortress."

After hearing Samuel's hint, the expressions of Willie, Raymond and Gary suddenly changed one after another.

"Come in!" Willie shouted toward the door.

"Yes!"

A soldier held a small roll of paper, opened the door, walked quickly into the room and handed Willie the small roll of paper in his hand.

After taking the small roll of paper and letting the soldier out, Willie impatiently unfolded the roll of small paper in his hand that was not as thick as his tail finger.

"It's a bad thing..." Willie, who read the contents of the roll of paper three or two times, said in a deep voice, "the head is in danger. This morning, he encountered a horse thief in Brett village."

"What? Is the captain in danger? " Raymond, whose voice was out of control due to out of control emotion, shouted at his throat.

"Well, but the commander and Eliza and others are all right for the time being, but according to the commander, the large army of these horse thieves will arrive in Brett village tomorrow evening. It will be really dangerous at that time, so let's send troops to rescue quickly!"

As soon as Willie's voice fell, Raymond, with an anxious face, stood up from his chair with a "Hoo", and then said in a loud voice:

"Deputy head! Please allow me to personally lead the troops to the rescue team leader! I only need 10 elite cavalry! "

Samuel, who was sitting on the side, also changed his expression slightly: "is the colonel in danger..."

"10 cavalry..." Willie frowned. "It's no problem for Raymond to take people to the rescue, but if you only take 10 cavalry, will there be too few troops? After all, the number of horse thieves is unknown. For the sake of insurance, we'd better take more soldiers. "

Raymond opened his mouth and was about to refute Willie's words, Samuel said first:

"Deputy commander, you seem to be a little too cautious. In my eyes, there are too many with 10 cavalry. After all, the opponent is just a gang of horse thieves. You don't need to be so cautious and concerned."

"According to the leader's letter, the brigands' army will come tomorrow evening, so the most important thing about rescuing the leader is to be fast, so taking too many people will slow down."

"So - we don't need to send so many people, we just need to send two people."

"2?" Willie, Raymond and Samuel asked Samuel in unison.

"Yes, just two people - just me and Raymond."

Then Samuel put down his teacup and looked up at Willie.

There is no languid and listless color on his face, only serious and serious color.

"Deputy commander, let Raymond and I play." Samuel said positively, "if Ramon takes 10 cavalry alone, the total force is equivalent to 1010, but if Ramon and I are allowed to attack, the total force is equivalent to 2000. 2000 people are more than enough to deal with a gang of horse thieves?"
