773 Ambush as expected
Manstein hurried over with his men, and after a while they arrived at the camp.
There are still many things left in the camp, and there is even a broth that is being cooked on the earthen stove.
Next to it are a few newly opened canned pots of pottery, with meat and vegetables inside.
There were also many things that were too late to take away, such as some things that were not too late to wear clothes, leather boots, and even armor.
Obviously the enemy retreated in a hurry...
Several soldiers got off the horse, came to the earthen stove, and picked up the soup pot.
There is a plate of biscuits next to it that I had just opened and didn't have time to eat.
These things have been seized from these Eastern Army camps in recent days.
Of course, they were mainly discovered in the camp of the East Eight Prefecture Alliance, but they were slandered.
These soldiers from Manyin continent have never eaten anything delicious to eat.
You should know that before coming to Zhendan Continent, these soldiers were still eating raw meat most of the time.
The low-ranking soldiers in their army live a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood, which is really not an exaggeration.
After passing through Baiyun Mountain, especially after seizing the camp of the East Eight Prefecture Alliance.
But they were so happy that their soldiers were found, and in that camp they found too many good things.
The most popular among the soldiers are the cookies and canned meat.
Needless to say, the biscuits are fragrant and sweet. Not to mention the soldiers, even the nobles like to eat them very much.
It is no exaggeration to say that in Manyin Continent, even the nobles like them cannot eat sweet things every day.
But these warlords from the Zhendan continent were so exaggerated that they gave their soldiers such delicious noodle cakes.
There is also the canned meat, which even a nobleman like Manstein could never forget day and night after eating it once.
Is this something too delicious?
The meat was stewed so much, and I don’t know what seasoning they added to it.
Anyway, that kind of beef is really the best beef he has ever eaten in his life.
And at this moment, the two brave soldiers were already holding the pot of beef soup and squatting on the ground to eat and drink.
The other soldiers were very jealous of this situation, but due to the command of the superior, no one dared to come down.
The two soldiers were also very sensible and saw Manstein and Heatinga's eyes.
The two of them quickly found two pottery jars from the side, filled some broth into them, and brought two biscuits they had never touched before to them.
"Sir, this is the Divine lunch, you can try it."
Manstein and Heatinga were not pretentious. They took the jar, sat on the horse with biscuits, and started eating.
Since leaving the camp in the morning, it has been past one afternoon. They have been hungry for so long after marching for so long.
When the other soldiers saw that the two adults had started eating, someone immediately jumped off the horse and found the two soldiers to start eating.
Some people even started looking for boxes and cabinets in the camp.
Someone found the cookies and stuffed them into his arms, but what they found was more empty cans leftover.
But even so, they filled all the empty pottery jars.
After all, these are also good things for these soldiers of the Ten Thousand Soldiers.
In their hometown, the only tableware that their family can use is plates made of wood.
There was not even a wooden bowl. If everyone wanted to drink the soup, the whole family would drink it in a pot.
With this pottery jar, I took it back, and my family would not have to surround the pot when they were drinking soup in the future.
Moreover, this thing can not only be a soup bowl, but also a water cup.
Therefore, this small pottery jar is a hot item in the minds of the soldiers of the Wanzi Army.
Not only these jars, they didn't even spare some discarded tents and costumes in the camp.
Soon the entire camp was plundered, and Manstein and Heatinga had already finished eating.
The two looked up at the pass in front, which was seven or eight hundred meters ahead of them.
But this terrain is not very friendly to them.
Because from this camp, the terrain began to climb the hill all the way, and the slope was very steep.
But from here to the pass, the altitude is at least three or four hundred meters high.
It is not difficult for them to climb up directly, but it is very physically exhausting.
The most important thing is that they are not sure whether there will be ambush in the pass.
Those enemy soldiers did not escape far. If they were not stupid, they should have notified their main force.
Then there will definitely be ambush behind this pass.
Thinking of this, Manstein called a messenger behind him and whispered to him.
"All members are dismounted, be prepared!"
The messenger went backwards.
At this time, Manstein looked back at the soldiers behind him, and raised his right hand.
The soldiers dismounted one after another, and they couldn't understand the commander who had the nickname of Red Rose.
In this case, it seems that he is planning to let everyone attack this steep slope.
Sure enough, two teams of 100 people slowly lie down from both sides of the dirt slope towards the rugged pass in the chaotic world.
Of course, they were also very careful during the climb.
There are several shield players at the front, and there are archers at the back. These people are the real attack troops behind them.
Everyone climbed up the road, but to everyone's surprise, they were halfway down, but there was no response at the pass on the top of the slope.
Seeing this, Manstein couldn't help but frown. What's going on?
Did the enemy really not have defenses at the pass?
But when those two teams climbed to more than a hundred meters away from the pass.
Finally, there was a movement behind the pass, and rows of arrows shot out from behind the pass.
The rain of arrows drew an arc in the sky and projected towards the soldiers climbing the hill.
Fortunately, the soldiers were prepared and raised their shields one after another.
There was a tingling sound, and this round of arrow rain was prevented and did not cause much damage to the two hundred men.
The archers in the Hundreds also found a good position and began to shoot arrows at the pass.
Although they can't see where the enemy is, it does not prevent them from shooting arrows.
In fact, they don’t expect to hit many enemies, they just want to put some psychological pressure on the other party’s archers.
At the same time, the two hundred men held their shields and accelerated their speed and quickly climbed towards the top of the pass.
Soon they climbed up the pass, and did not encounter any resistance during this period?
Manstein was stunned. He couldn't understand why? Why there were no enemies?
But just as a centurion who was climbing the pass turned around and called on his companion to come up quickly, a crossbow arrow suddenly hit him in the face...
