"Three days, within three days, we will gather at the foot of the south slope of the mountain. Everyone must have a savage head tied to their waist. It doesn't matter whether they are spies sent by the savages in the snowfield or savages hunting nearby. Male, female, young or old, if anyone comes back missing his head, I will take off his head and hang it on my waist!”
“I obey my command!”
"I humiliate myself and obey my orders!"
In the mountains, forests and river valleys, Xue San kneeled in front of fifty of his subordinates who had been trained by his "cramming" education.
The soldiers and horses of Shengle City, led by Liang Cheng, served as the vanguard of the Jingnan Army, leading the way, while Xue San's men and horses were in front of the vanguard army.
Although this route in the mountain has been cleared by Liang Cheng, and several villages have been removed for this purpose, the Tianduan Mountain is vast and the terrain is complex. God knows if there will be anything that slips through the net. fish.
At the same time, we need to be wary of the infiltration and monitoring of the place by the savages in the snowfield. Xue San will not command an army to fight, but he also knows that once the movements of this army are discovered in advance, the savages in the snowfield will assemble an army. The horses were ambushed on the road where the Yan army came out of the mountain. No matter how hard the Yan army was able to fight, they would be defeated.
"Let's all go."
For a while, everyone disappeared into the nearby woods, leaving only one person, holding a cloth bag in his hand, which contained hawthorn. .
"Where did you get it?" Xue San lowered his head and looked at this subordinate.
Xue San values this subordinate very much, not because of his excellent qualifications, but because of his name, his surname is Dai and his name is Li,
his name is Dai Li.
With this name, Xue San couldn’t help but pay more attention to him. This Dai Li was also on the road. Seeing that the chief officer had some "favor" for him, he came here to flatter him and keep in touch. Contact feelings or something.
"I am a little kid. I thought I could stay with the adults all the time, so I carried it for the adults first. I don't want to be separated from the adults temporarily. I will leave it to the adults."
Xue San reached out and took the hawthorn, nodded, and said a little more gently:
"Be careful."
Dai Li was so moved that he hurriedly He knelt down and kowtowed to Xue San three times before turning around and disappearing into the forest.
He is from Jin and has surrendered his troops. He is considered the worst in Shengle City’s military system, so at this time, he will only cherish Xue San’s approval even more.
Actually, Xue San just thinks that it doesn’t matter whether others die or not. If this guy dies, it will always give people an extremely unlucky feeling, which is unlucky.
Moreover, after entering the mountain, he asked his subordinates to change his title. Since the boss is the factory owner, he should be called the bureau chief.
He reached out and grabbed a hawthorn, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
Xue San unbuttoned his belt and looked at the stream in front of him,
comfortably I let out a wave of urine,
swayed, and
went onAfter walking a few steps upstream, I knelt down and started washing my hands.
San'er likes Marquis Jingnan quite a lot, not because of his relationship with his master, but because he thinks this man is very particular about fighting.
The Jingnan Army also sent out sentries to kill the savages on the march. In Xue San's opinion, this was a serious fight.
If everyone is like Li Fusheng and rushes to do it, then what is the use of waiting for others?
Well, not knowing how to use spies to broaden your horizons is simply a blasphemy against the art of war.
Patted his face with water,
Xue San did a few more stretching movements,
and then his figure melted into the forest in front of him. .
…………
The army cannot march too fast, but in order to save time, the rest time during the march was deliberately reduced. Fortunately, it was not a fast attack. , for these elites of the Jingnan Army who have experienced the war, it is not that difficult.
After marching for ten days, Marquis Jingnan finally ordered to camp and rest.
People need to tidy up, and war horses also need to tidy up.
Zheng Fan was sitting in his tent. In front of him, Bald Hair Su brought freshly cooked noodles.
I don’t know who is the one who has no clue.
It is the Bald-haired successor who "examined the holy meaning" after seeing Siniang and thought he understood it. His own taste,
So during this period of march, whenever he had the opportunity, he asked Bald Hair Su to come to Zheng Fan to serve him.
Now the army is resting and setting up camp to rest for three days in a row, which is a good time for some exercise.
Zheng Fan brought his own chili noodles, sprinkled some on the noodles, and started eating directly. During the march, Si Niang was not around, so it was good to be able to eat this.
After eating and drinking, Zheng Fan took the towel handed over to him and wiped his face. Zheng Fan returned to his tent to rest.
The human body actually has a period of fatigue. Zheng Fan and the Marquis of Jingnan went back and forth to the snowy fields without stopping. After returning, he immediately went out with the army. Even though he could eat and drink in Shanghai physically, he felt mentally exhausted. It's already very obvious.
Lying on the blanket in the tent, Zheng Fan just wanted to relax.
At this time, Tu Fasu came in on his knees. Zheng Fan turned his head and looked at her. She also looked at Zheng Fan, and then she began to take off her clothes.
Actually, Bald Hair Su is not bad, and his face does have some weather and edges. This is inevitable. In the realm of Shengle City, a woman comes out to make a living and wants to be with Qian Guo again. It's unrealistic for a lady to be so well-maintained, and her figure is indeed very good.
I heard from Saner that she had a son and a daughter, and her husband died of illness five years ago.
"Put it on, I'm not in the mood."
Bulufasu gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and put his clothes back on.
"You can stay with me from now on, just take care of food and drink."
Zheng Fan was too lazy to say too much. The bald-haired successor sent her here, and his meaning was obvious, even if he I don't want to, and there is no need to put this woman in a dilemma.
The atmosphere in this world is like this. Even the scholar-bureaucrats like Wen Sutong often give away their granddaughters and daughters. You can't ask a powerful little patriarch of a place to have much moral integrity.
"Clean my armor and sword, thank you for your hard work."
"Yes, Master."
After saluting Zheng Fan He stood up slowly and took Zheng Fan's armor and knife out to wipe them.
Zheng Fan breathed a sigh of relief and tried to let himself sleep for a while longer.
To be honest, he is not very enthusiastic about this war. If he had to choose, he still hopes to immerse himself in farming in Shengle City for a few years, just like playing Monopoly. It’s also very fulfilling, isn’t it?
Alternatively, after farming, you can take Siniang's casual clothes with you and accompany the caravan to the south of the Yangtze River in the Qian Kingdom to see the temples, Taoist temples, and see how those literati and elegant people are doing things in the country. Even in winter, you still need to fan yourself and look elegant.
You can even go to a sect and learn something, or go to Yanjing to find a magician to do battle or something, and see if you can also master both magic and martial arts.
There are still too many places in this world that I have not explored or experienced. As a result, I can only continue to lie in a daze in the cold tent.
Zheng Fan took a deep breath and sighed in his heart:
It has fallen, it has fallen;
After having a city and some capital in hand, he began to think Living a petty bourgeoisie life.
Either, or...
After sleeping, it would be until dawn. After catching up on sleep, my energy and energy finally came back.
Breakfast is pimple soup, which is not as rich as later generations. It is just a simple stew of ground pimple soup.
Moreover, if we talk about cooking skills, Zheng Fan feels that his cooking skills are much better than those of Bald Hair Su. This woman obviously doesn’t cook very much on weekdays, at least, she doesn’t really put her mind to it. Over meals.
Oh, Si Niang is better, she is beautiful, gentle and can cook.
After eating, Zheng Fan put on his armor again, then sat down on the stone outside the tent and began to be in a daze.
Obviously he can be regarded as the commander-in-chief of the army, but he was summoned by the Marquis of Jingnan to serve as a mascot in the Chinese army;
His subordinates were led in front by Liang Cheng. That meant that I had nothing to do at this time, at least until Marquis Jingnan called me to the commander's tent, I had nothing else to be busy with.
It is not your turn to inspect the military stronghold. Checking the morale of the soldiers has nothing to do with you.
These days, Zheng Fan feels like the "eunuch who founded the army" that he read about when reading history.
It was almost noon before Zheng Fan received theMarquis Jingnan ordered him to go to the commander's tent to discuss matters.
In the commander's tent, there were a total of four generals and a group of generals. They all had lunch quietly with Marquis Jingnan.
The lunch was very simple. Just soak the steamed buns in water. Everyone from the Marquis of Jingnan on down was eating this.
After Zheng Fan came in, a soldier also brought him a "Remembering the Bitter and Thinking Sweet" meal.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet.
In fact, the army is not short of food. Although they are heartbroken that they have consumed so much wealth and food to support this expedition, Si Niang and the blind man are still very angry. They will be slaughtered anyway, so why not If you do it beautifully, at least you can still get a good result for your efforts.
So when it comes to food and grass, there is no skimping at all, and we even try our best to do the best.
Jingnan Hou finished eating,
everyone else also finished eating,
Zheng Fan, who came last, silently stuffed the last piece of steamed bun into his mouth ,
Fuck,
This is definitely not our own food, there are actually stones in this nest.
"Woooo..."
Zheng Fan was choked,
Yes,
in the handsome tent , Zheng Fan grabbed his chest, feeling very painful.
At this time, a commander named Wang Ge who was standing next to him came over kindly, patted Zheng Fan on the back a few times, and then brought a bowl of water over for Zheng Fan to drink.
"Huh..."
I feel comfortable.
The rest of the people watched this scene happen in silence.
A little bit closer,
The high-level general who died in this expedition will be born.
Tian Wujing glanced at Zheng Fan and asked:
"Are you okay?"
Zheng Fan shook his head, then raised his hands to express his apology. .
Wang Ge joked: "I heard someone say it before. Brother Zheng was born in a merchant family. It seems that he really had a hard time."
This is a good intention. The teasing was not targeted, and it could be heard from Wang Ge's tone. After all, everyone knew how much Tian Wujing valued Zheng Fan, and would not fool around with eye drops in front of him.
The surrounding generals also laughed when they heard this.
Tian Wujing pressed his hands, and everyone immediately fell silent.
"On this expedition, the food and drink in the mountains these days are all thanks to Zheng Chengshou's support. You all owe Zheng Chengshou a favor."
Wang Ge When the generals heard this, they all saluted Zheng Fan, and Zheng Fan could only return the salute again.
“Today’s meal is specially ordered by me. I want to scrape the fat and water in your stomachs first, so as not to make you tired of the fat cattle and sheep when we enter the snowfield the next day. "
"Hahaha..."
The generals laughed.
"In one day's journey, our army can pass through the Tianduan Mountains and enter the snowfield, Wang Ge and Zhang Cheng."
p>"The last general is here!"
"The last general is here!"
"You two lead 10,000 soldiers and horses as the right army, with Wang Ge as the main force. "
"The last general is here!"
"Xiao Mingxuan, Li Dingdong."
"The last general is here!"
"The last general is here! Here!"
"You two will lead the left army with 10,000 troops, led by Xiao Mingxuan."
" I set off one day in advance, leading my own 10,000 cavalry, and joining the vanguard army's 3,000 cavalry from Shengle City as the central army. They entered the snowy field first, and the two armies on the left and right trailed behind to cover and follow my central army."
The generals said in unison:
"The last general takes orders!"
It was said to be a discussion in the tent, but in fact nothing was discussed. The overall combat idea is very simple, that is, I will lead the Chinese army. Lead the way and you follow my route.
Ignore any advance routes, strategic goals, strategic plans, etc. You just follow my lead.
This is Jingnanhou’s layout for this war. Zheng Fan knows that it is based on Tian Wijing’s personal exploration of the snowfield.
The vast snowfield is another completely unfamiliar battlefield for the Yan Army soldiers. When they enter the snowfield for the first time, everyone will be blind to everything in the snowfield. No matter how good your battle plan is, it will It's useless. If you don't do it well, you may even get lost. On the contrary, this one seems simple and direct, even a little sloppy, but it is the safest.
The key lies in the performance of the guide dog Tian Wujing.
After the generals left the commander's tent, they began to prepare individually. Zheng Fan stayed in the commander's tent to help carry some things. Anyway, he was idle.
After everything was done, Tian Wujing got on the Pi beast.
Zheng Fan looked at the brave beast in front of him, and the brave beast also looked at Zheng Fan. Then, the brave beast actually rolled its eyes at Zheng Fan.
"..." Zheng Fan.
"After returning from this expedition, I will help you ask for one from the palace."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"
This brave beast Zheng Fan has been jealous for a long time, and the beast that Tian Wujing helps to get will definitely not have a low blood level, and it won't be like Xu Pangpang's unicorn.
Then feed it some elixir to accelerate ripening, or feed it some vampire blood or zombie blood to see if it can stimulate the bloodline.
The Chinese army's 10,000 troops were quickly prepared and set off ahead of schedule. One day later, they joined the vanguard army led by Liang Cheng, totaling more than 13,000 horses, and began to leave the mountain.
………
“Onda, the tribes here are simply a bunch of trash. They are unworthy of the strong bodies bestowed by the stars.”
“Que Mu, My good brother, please put away your complaints, they have already given us food and water, what more do we want?"
"Onda, here?The tribe is very rich, they should contribute their warriors to the king's great cause! ”
Onda touched his beard. He just felt that the brother in front of him was cute and honest.
They were following the king’s order and led five thousand warriors to come here. Because the news came a few days ago that the Yan people were making great moves in the mountains in this area, and many savages who originally lived in the mountains in this area had to flee their homes and come to the snowy fields to survive. p>
This group of people is actually here to guard.
There are many tribes here. Because they are adjacent to this side of the Tianduan Mountains, there are dozens of tribes. Over the years, they have also learned how to do business, and caravans will come from time to time, so their life is more comfortable than the tribes in other parts of the snowfield.
At the beginning, Onda accompanied Wang on his business trip. , I have been here many times, and I naturally know how much benefit trade can bring to the tribe.
Even though the majority of the money has been made by the unscrupulous merchants from Yan, Jin and Qian, Xueyuan. The tribes above can still obtain some of the most precious materials.
"Que Mu, don't be angry with them. The king's reputation has spread here. Didn't you see that these tribes took the initiative to send us away when they saw us coming. Is there food and water and tent flocks?
They are not resistant to being led by the king. After the king resolves the war at Xueguan, the king's flag will come here in person, and the warriors of these tribes will become the king's most loyal followers. ”
“But why do we have to come so far here while other people can fight with the Jin people in Xueguan?
All the soldiers and horses of the Jin people are at Xueguan. What are we here to guard against? ”
This is what Que Mu is most puzzled about. He and Angda are both warriors under the king. What he longs for is to tear apart the Jin people who had oppressed him on the battlefield, not Come here and drink the goat's milk!
Onda's eyes became profound.
The savage's eyes were still too narrow. Wang had said this more than once. Angda sighed with emotion.
As a warrior who has walked outside with Wang, Angda knows how vast the outside world is.
"What we are guarding against is Yan. people. "
Onda said seriously.
"Yan people? Why did the Yan people come here? "Que Mu felt incredible.
"Are you sure that the Yan people will never come here? "
"This...but..."
Ang Da said in a deep voice:
"Are the Jin people powerful? "
"The Jin people have been defeated by me now, and their emperor has also been defeated by us. "
"Confused, that's just a part of the Jin people. There are three families of Jin people. Over the years, it's only one family of Jin people that has been at war with our tribe. ”
“I know, there are still Jin peopleTwo families. ”
“No, it’s gone now. Those two Jin families have now been annexed by the Yan people. The Yan people have occupied their territory and captured their population! "
"So what? If the Yan people dare to come to the snowfield, I will lead the warriors to tear them apart. I will surround their heads in a circle and sacrifice them to the stars! ”
Ang Da reached out and patted his forehead,
The Que Mu in front of him is very powerful and one of the most powerful people under the king’s command, but his brain...
Onda recalled the scene when he and Wang were in Beifeng County, and the image of the Zhenbei Army in black armor also appeared in his mind;
"Que Mu , please put away your ignorance and arrogance! "
"I..."
"Yes, I also think it is impossible for the Yan people to come to the snowy field, because I really can't think of a reason why the Yan people would come to the snowy field. , the same goes for Wang.
The strange movements in the Duanshan Mountains today may be that the Yan people are cleaning up nearby settlements. This is normal. In the past, when the Helian family of the Jin people were around, they would also go into the mountains to clean up the settlements. .
But it is precisely because they are Yan people that the king would rather send you and me here to watch. You don’t know the importance of the Yan people in the king’s heart, and you have never seen the Yan people. The power! ”
Back then, the still young me and Wang leaned in the tent outside the Zhenbei Hou Mansion after finishing their busy work, and the two of them looked up at the stars together.
The desert The stars were as bright and clear as those in the snowfield.
Onda remembered that Wang asked himself: Who is stronger, us savages or barbarians?
He was silent. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and replied:
Their horses are taller, their warriors are stronger, and their riding and shooting skills are sharper. He asked again: How about we compare with the Yan people?
Onda was speechless, because the extremely powerful barbarians were suppressed by the Yan people in the desert. The result was too clear.
< p>Although the queen later said that we barbarians will become stronger in the future, we will take back the homeland that the survivors of Great Xia took away from our ancestors, and we will become as powerful as the barbarians and the Yan people. < /p>But the shadow left in Angda’s heart by the Yan people was still too profound.
And the little girl who left that scar on Wang’s face.
p>
That day, Wang was almost executed. After he came back from being whipped, he was not angry or painful at all. Instead, he pointed to the scars on his face and said to himself:
That little girl , will become my "empress" in the future
"Onda, Onda! "
Que Mu's shouting woke Angda up from his thoughts.
"Que Mu, you don't have to obey my orders, but you must obey the king's will. Do you still remember what the king said to you before departure? ”
“Remember……"
Onda took a deep breath and said seriously:
"Then please remember, when you see the black dragon flag, please put down all your pride. "
Que Mu clenched his fists tightly and made a "crunching" sound. Obviously, he was extremely unconvinced.
Onda put his hand on Que Mu's shoulder.
Soothingly said:
"Well, when the king's army invades Xuehaiguan, you will have a chance to fight against the Yan people. By then, you can definitely prove yourself The bravery.
Now, please help me send someone to notify the leaders of the nearby tribes and ask them if they have any news to report from the tribal warriors I asked them to send into the mountains. "
"Humph. "
Que Mu turned around and walked out of the tent.
Onda exhaled and pursed his lips,
There is something that Que Mu doesn't know. In other words, it was the entire tribe, except for a few people including himself and Wang.
That is, Wang Zeng sent a team to Yanjing, hoping to reconcile with the emperor of the Yan people. They jointly sent troops to destroy the Situ family.
But there has been no news from that envoy team.
………
After the Yan army came out of the mountains, they did not immediately gallop into the snowfield, but regrouped. While taking a final rest, they also had to wait for the follow-up of the two armies. Not to mention waiting for them to come out together, but they also had to get closer.
At this time, Zheng Fan returned to his troops and directly found Liang Cheng.
"My lord?" "
"Don't talk nonsense now. My time is limited and I have to go back to Marquis Jingnan later. ”
“This is Tian Wujing’s deliberate cultivation of the master. "
I will take you with me during the war. There is no more luxurious internship opportunity than this.
"Damn it, the troops I have spent so much effort to raise can't He personally takes command, and after pulling out a team of troops, he has to run to become a personal soldier. ”
Not to mention that Zheng Fan is not so resentful. After all, he pulled this team out by himself, just like you bought a toy with so much hard work, but you can’t play with it yourself. A big brother snatched your toy and said shamelessly to you:
Come on, let me teach you how to play, and watch carefully.
"My lord, this time... ..."
"Oh, I almost forgot, tell me quickly, how to fight this time, don't be too specific, just talk about the general direction, I have a premonition that Tian Wujing I will be tested on this later. ”
These days, Tian Wujing has kept Zheng Fan in the Chinese Army. From time to time, he will ask Zheng Fan some military questions. Some of the questions are profound, and he will also deliberately let Zheng Fan think about them. Then answer.
Just like when the teacher used to leave homework, he handed it in the next day.
Zheng Fan took the opportunity to go to Qianjun to find Liang Cheng. Liang Cheng hereAfter getting the standard answer, go back and find Tian Wujing the next morning:
"I thought about it all night, and finally I have an idea. Do you think you are right..."
After every answer, Zheng Fan could feel the satisfied look in Tian Wujing's eyes. Sometimes, some of Zheng Fan's answers could even make Tian Wujing think deeply and feel deeply.
So, no one is an omniscient and omnipotent god, and the same is true for Tian Wujing;
Perhaps, in Tian Wujing’s view, Zheng Fan is a rising “general star” , but little did he know that he was "communicating" with another military master every day.
Zheng Fan suffered a lot, because he was worried that the standard answers he copied were too standard, so sometimes he had to deliberately ignore some and blur some to make the answers look exciting enough but not enough. Perfect;
It allows Marquis Jingnan to not only be satisfied with the answer, but also have room to "give guidance" to you.
In this way, Marquis Jingnan can also feel happy after doing the job himself, a win-win situation.
"My Lord, the strategy is actually very clear. Tian Wujing personally leads the central army, and the left and right armies behind him serve as support and support. Considering the situation on the snowy field, a pack of wolves should be used The method of chasing sheep is to bite off the shepherd dogs in the flock first, that is, to select the strongest tribes to fight and kill them. The remaining tribes are likely to be frightened, collapse, and must be captured. If we don't start a war, we will fight all the way. We can't let the savages in this snowy field have the opportunity to gather together to form a coalition."
Here Liang Cheng was still talking. , Xue San, who was dirty over there, came over. Xue San had been missing for a long time. When the army was still marching in the Tianduan Mountains, he might have sneaked into the snowy field to find out the news in advance.
"San'er, you've been away for so many days, but you're worried about me." After Zheng Fan finished speaking, he immediately turned to Liang Cheng and said, "If you have anything to add, please tell me quickly."
p>We were about to perform a series of sad drama routines;
Xue San: "..."
Immediately, Xue San came over and said:
"My lord, I have the latest military information here. My lord, please hand it over in exchange for credit. Just say that you personally detected it."
Liang Cheng" Haha." He smiled and said: "San'er, you haven't been here for the past few days. You don't know that the master has classes in Tian Wujing's army basically every day."
"Uh..." Xue San was stunned. one time.
Zheng Fan said nonchalantly: "That's okay. I'll take San'er to report to Tian Wujing later."
......
" Xue San, the last general, meets the Marquis of Jingnan."
Xue San took the initiative to come over and salute, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over.
Zheng Fan walked over, took the paper, made eye contact with Xue San, then turned around and handed the paper to Jingnan Hou.
Jingnan Hou spread out the paper and found that what was drawn on it was actually the one in front of himThe distribution map of several forces in this area was drawn with charcoal and was a bit rough.
Actually, Xue San originally wanted to draw contour lines or something, but after thinking about it, he decided not to add superfluous things.
Tian Wujing quickly discovered something wrong with the position and said:
"There is an extra tribe?"
"As for the Marquis, , this tribe should have moved here recently. It is more like a troop than a tribe, stationed on a green beach in the northeast. "
" Number of people. >
"Back to the Marquis, there are about five thousand people, half of them wearing armor."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, there is nothing wrong."
"Okay."
Tian Wujing turned his head to look at Zheng Fan, who was standing beside him, and said:
"If I remember correctly, this is also Your subordinate, right?"
Because Xue San's image is so "unforgettable" that it is difficult not to leave an impression.
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
"You are good at recruiting talents."
"In the end, I will only search for talents for Lord Marquis."
p>
Tian Wujing directly ignored this flattery.
"It seems that this extra troop should have been recently transferred from the front line of Snow Customs in Northeast China. The Savage King has indeed given me Dayan face."
No one expected that the Yan State would send troops, not even Zheng Fan before receiving the order. However, the Savage King specially sent five thousand troops to come when the war was at its most intense. Staring here, this vigilance is enough to be considered excellent.
Tian Wujing looked at Zheng Fan,
and said:
"Zheng Chengshou."
"The last general is here."
"What do you think next, which one should we fight first?"
Guess the question correctly.
“Just attack the soldiers and horses sent by the Savage King.
In front of many tribes nearby, defeat and eat these soldiers and horses, and let them go from there. From the very first moment, I felt the terror of my Dayan Iron Cavalry, which made them frightened and despairing. In the end, they turned into a panicked flock of sheep, while we were like a pack of wolves on the snowfield, tearing them apart along the way. Go down and let their blood soak this snowy field!"
Zheng Fan simplified the answer given by Liang Cheng, and finally added an "exaggerated" rhetorical technique to conclude it.
It can be seen that Tian Wujing is very satisfied with Zheng Fan's answer.
"The savage king has been stealing from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion for several years, and he has really caused trouble. Now, it is the master's turn to take care of his apprentice."
Following the order from Marquis Jingnan, tens of thousands of cavalry began to move. They no longer covered or hid, and openly trampled the ground under their feet with the iron hooves of their horses. land.
Under the galloping iron cavalry,
The black dragon flag flutters in the wind!
