After crossing the Bairen River, the Xinmin Legion finally chose a direction to the northeast, crossed the northern territory of Horwood City horizontally, and entered the eastern part of the Northern Territory. The defense line of the Hong Kong garrison.

"Commander, no enemy scouts have been found in the Iron Clan fort or the nearby woods."

"Inform the former army, let's move on."

"Yes."

The army was marching in the dense forest. William rode a warhorse in the center of the team, surrounded by Gripen Guard Rangers who accompanied him. The scouts would report the news on the established marching route at regular intervals.

Only after getting the news, the Xinmin Army's central army will follow up and move forward for a while. Facing the deployment of the enemy in the position, William remains cautious and rational.

After the army passed through the dense forest, an undulating northern grassland appeared in front of it. The grassland was not flat, but very empty.

The grass all around has already turned yellow. Not far away, you can see a wooden fortress built on the hillside. Above the fortress wall, you can vaguely see four black horseshoes in a few gray-green trims, surrounding A flag with a black long sword fluttering in the cold wind.

The Tie family is a small noble, not well-known in the north. They once served the Bolton family. After the Flayer fell, they hid in their small castle and lived a self-sufficient life.

William's horse slowly slowed down, and the surrounding horses also slowed down.

"It's hard to believe that this place has not been targeted by the Essos army. Listen, the former army continues to cooperate with the sentry team and advance in coordination. No matter if an enemy is found fifty miles away, they must stop and set up camp. It is absolutely not allowed to approach. In the Broken Branch River Basin, the river is connected to the mouth of the Gongyangmen, and there is no reason why the Essos should not guard against the Broken Limb River.

Tormund, enter the war zone, I am now appointing you as the deputy commander of the former army combat command. If the two former army combat battalions encounter an emergency, you have the right to participate in the combat command together. Go, catch up with the troops in front, the two Quite a few of the combat troops are composed of the most courageous free people. When the war comes, remind them not to forget the combat discipline of the new army.

As for me, I plan to be a guest in the Tie family's castle to see if I can hear some news, and by the way, I will wait for the baggage and heavy equipment behind to catch up.

Herald, pass my order, send additional sentries, and investigate the situation in any woods within ten miles of the grassland. Be careful not to be discovered by the enemy's dark sentries. The Essos did not capture the city of Horwood, but this is the city of Horwood and the Castle of Dread. At the junction of the range controlled by the army, there is no reason why the enemy could not perceive the importance of this place. "

"Yes, Commander."

Tormund and the two teams of scouts turned their horses and left.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

William turned his head again and shouted at his own bodyguards, "Carlo, go and urge the girls in the back, so that the rear army don't go as slowly as an old man, three hundred brothers are left outside the castle to be vigilant, other People follow me into the Tie family fortress to rest and wait for the scouts to return."

"Yes, Commander." A personal guard was ordered to leave.

William and Kante, who joined the army, took a hundred guards and rangers and headed towards the gate of the old Tie family fortress in Muzhai.

However, just half an hour later, William and his rangers came out of the castle again.

William, who left the castle, didn't look very good. The news he got from the mouth of Carter Tie, the chief of the iron clan, made him unable to rest in the castle with peace of mind. The Essos people have long been eyeing this wooden castle. The Essos messenger sent a letter yesterday, threatening the Iron Clan to surrender and take refuge in them, otherwise the Essos army would arrive here in a day and destroy his home in person.

If the enemy's threat is real and it will arrive here in a day, it means that the enemy's army is likely to be nearby, but the outposts clearly found nothing further east.

"Commander-in-chief William, I guess it's just the enemy's intimidation of the Tie clan? Nothing unusual was found at the outpost. Although the Tie clan's castle is not large, an army that can easily conquer it requires at least a few hundred people. Only the elite will do, and it is not so easy for hundreds of people to hide their traces.”

Kanter took a breath, and the breath spewed out of his nose and mouth, and dispersed into a white mist in the cold air.

William's expression was stern, and his brows were wrinkled like the rolling hills outside, "I don't think so, this is in the middle of the territory of Horwood City and Dreadfort. The last time they attacked Horwood City, they were stationed in Dreadfort. The Northern Sweeping Army is the way to reinforce Horwood City. As long as the Essos still want to go west, solving Horwood City is the only option, and to capture Horwood City, it is inevitable to pull out this inconspicuous nail. , so as to hinder the reinforcements of the northern sweeping army."

"You mean, this is a place where the enemy must fight?"

"Yes, I thought this place had been captured by the enemy long ago, and I even thought that our army's first battle of the Eastern Expedition would start by re-fighting this area. I didn't expect that the enemy was not as smart as I thought, but , they finally reacted, but it seems that the first battle of our Xinmin Army will still break out here."

"But……"

William saw the doubts of the affairs officer Kanter, and chuckled: "I know what you are suspecting, you must be thinking, there is no enemy in front of you~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The enemy can't be behind us. appeared?"

"Uh, that's true, Commander, can the enemy really come from behind us?"

"No, of course not." William's voice was extremely cold under the rendering of the cold wind, "However, we all know that there is a tributary of the Broken Branch River connected to the Gongyangmen that can reach the territory east of Horwood City. The Soths transported the army to sneak attack there, so I guess they will do it this time, but they can not rush to fight the city of Horwood, but pass through the territory of Horwood City and attack the north."

On a high hill outside the Tie family castle, the soldier Kante lowered his head, picked up a branch on the ground, and drew a simple map within a radius of fifty miles of this place that he could remember. It became darker, his hands were frozen red in the cold wind, and not far from his arms, his warhorse was gnawing at the short withered grass on the ground.

The hard mud was turned over by the horse's mouth, the simple map on the ground was slowly covered by the splashed mud, and slowly disappeared, Kanter slowly stood up and said: "I think your guess is indeed likely to find out, then Commander, we should send someone to inform the former army to withdraw reinforcements here, right?"

William glanced at the rolling wilderness with almost no end. There were no trees and no rivers. It was not suitable for ambushes, but it was suitable for a big battle.

He was silent for a moment in the wind and shook his head, "No, let the former army hide, since no enemy has been detected in that direction, it means that the enemy has not detected their movement, so let them hide and station on the spot first, if the war is really serious It broke out here, and the enemy would never have imagined that we also had reinforcements in the east."
