Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 273
After five days of trekking, Zhang Ang and his party arrived at their destination, the camp of the Southern Army.

At the same time, they could see a beautiful big river.

That is the Rhine River, which descends from the snow-capped mountains and has a long history. It passes through many countries and flows calmly and gently, nourishing the creatures on both sides of the river.Also from east to west, Germany and Austria are divided into two different countries.

But the beautiful scenery of the past has long disappeared on the banks of the Rhine, replaced by large stretches of continuous military camps.

Countless camps rose from the ground, and countless soldiers densely covered them. Looking at it from the high mountain, it looked like endless ants.The trees on the banks of the river had been cut down long ago and turned into huge piles of logs.A small part of them was mixed with stones and built into strong fortresses, while most of them were piled up by the river, and with the efforts of the artisans accompanying the army, they were turned into small troop ships, square ones. Pontoon module.

And on the road along the river, there are large groups of cavalry.

They are patrolling back and forth to prevent any possible accidents.

The situation on the other side of the river was similar, with dense camps and soldiers like ants.It's just that the camp opposite is faintly divided into two parts, one east and one west, one is built on a low hillside beside the river bank, and the other is at the foot of the mountain, facing the north bank of the river.But looking at the scale, the two camps combined are not as good as this side of the river.

Down the mountain, Zhang Ang and his team began to march towards the barracks.

Although their final destination is Austria, the bridges are now destroyed and the river banks are blocked. It is impossible to enter Austria easily unless they detour to other countries.If you take a detour, the journey will be long, and there is a high possibility that the border guards will find it and stop it, and it may even cause bloody conflicts.

The best way now is to take advantage of the large army crossing the river later, when the two armies are fighting, fish in troubled waters and enter Austria, and then rely on Adolf's familiarity with Austria to avoid the front of the soldiers and escape into the hinterland of Austria before making plans.

It is certainly not easy to mix into the military camp. There are elite military camps, regular troops have regular military camps, motley troops have non-brand military camps, and cannon fodder also has cannon fodder camps.

At the gate of the barracks of the noble coalition army, Zhang Ang and his team were stopped: "Where are you from? Which family's team is it?"

Of course, there is no need for "Viscount Anthony" to answer such inquiries in person. Zhang Ang went up two steps, and proudly said to the guard at the gate of the camp: "We are the team of the Anthony family in Jericho City! We are led by the head of the Anthony family, Anthony. Lord Viscount."

The guard looked suspiciously at "Viscount Anthony" who was riding on the horse, pressing the horse almost to his knees, and the exaggerated large armor on his body, and carefully identified the somewhat tattered and dirty flag.But he didn't ask "Viscount Anthony" to take off the full-coverage helmet on his head, and he didn't inquire about everyone's obviously improved physique.

"Your garrison is at the northernmost part of the camp! Don't come to the south casually! Don't bump into the adults in the south. Do you understand?" After finishing speaking, the captain of the guard waved his hand and ordered the fence to be removed and the group of people released Entered the barracks.

Of course, the environment in the north is not as good as that in the south. This is the woodland that was cut down not long ago to free up the woodland. The ground is uneven, and the surrounding area is wet and cold. It is not a suitable place for camping.

But there are quite a few teams here, and dilapidated tents of all sizes have been built, but these "soldiers" are serfs with tattered equipment, emaciated stature, sad faces, and dull eyes.Some were setting up pots, holding firewood, and cooking some unknown and strange food, and a large circle of staring serfs surrounded each pot.

After walking around, everyone found a flat piece of land. Seeing that the sky was getting better, Adolf gave an order: "Okay, before it's dark, let's build the tent first, and then bury the pots for cooking." , get some rest earlier!"

The people are naturally much stronger than those serfs. Hundreds of people work together to build a rough camp in just a few hours. Although it looks a bit dilapidated, it is not as comfortable as the exquisite camps of the big nobles in the south. Not much.

After everyone had a good meal, Zhang Ang called in a few members who were more clever and good at communicating with others on weekdays, saved up a few sets of more refined armor, dressed them up carefully, and brought out some fine wine and Silver coins, let them go to the big noble station in the south to collect information.

After all, when you come to a strange place and a big battle is imminent, it is not enough to have your eyes blacked out. Then you will be treated as cannon fodder, and you will have no place to cry.

As time passed, the people sent out came back one after another, came to Zhang Ang and Adolf's tent, and began to report to them.

"Report to the two adults. According to my inquiry, the Second Army and the Third Army of the Empire have been mobilized here, and the reorganization has begun. It must not be long before the war begins."

"Report to the two adults. As far as I know, the first Marshal Lister of the Empire is in charge of commanding the army this time, assisted by Marshal Fedor of the Second Legion, Marshal Walter of the Third Legion, and Marshal Ruger of the Fourth Legion." .They are all famous generals of the empire, they have been soldiers all their lives, and they have rich experience in war!"

"My lord, according to the intelligence, Marquis Rudolf is in charge of commanding the coalition of nobles this time! He is a third-generation nobleman. Although his family is powerful and his own strength is not bad, he has never been on the battlefield and has no experience in war. I don’t know why Marshal Lista asked him to lead the coalition of nobles.”

"Reporting to the Chief of Staff, almost all the troops who have rushed to the front these days have arrived. Only a small part of the troops in the northern border have not yet arrived. It is expected that all the troops will be assembled in a few days and will start to cross the river. !"

"Report to the leader of the party, this time His Majesty William's will is very firm. It is said that he gave Marshal Lista a death order. Even if all the tens of thousands of people are wiped out, Austria will be taken back! Presumably this time he must be immortal. of."

"Reporting to the two adults, I went around in a big circle in the south, and no one said that I saw a few respected Lord Martial Saints, whether it was from the Siegfried family, the Northern Legion, or the people from Green College. , no one has seen it, so it is impossible to confirm whether they have arrived on the battlefield."

"My lord, it is reported that the French on the opposite side have been increasing their troops. They have increased from tens of thousands of people at the beginning to at least 10,000+ now. In just two weeks, they have increased by 10,000+! And it is said that someone has seen The flag of the French royal family! The French military god, Emperor Napoleon, is likely to be sitting in the opposite barracks right now!"

One by one, one by one, the subordinates reported to Zhang Ang and Adolf one after another, which also made the two of them frown deeper and deeper.
