In the following days, the movements of the Black Cavalry really confirmed Colin's guess.

Under the command of Marquis Garcia, they carefully kept a certain distance from the main troll army while constantly searching for traces of the wolf cavalry.

Since the main troll army is here, the wolf cavalry must also be wandering nearby.

The most important task of the Black Cavalry now is to discover the other party before they discover themselves.

Finally on the third day, the Black Cavalry Army discovered traces of the main force of the Wolf Cavalry.

The situation at that time was actually quite thrilling.

Because when the Black Cavalry's sentries discovered the traces of this wolf cavalry, the two armies were only more than thirty miles apart.

This distance is a very dangerous distance for the cavalry army.

If they were marching and fighting normally, this should be the edge of the sentry cavalry's exploration range.

It can be said that the two sides almost passed each other at that time.

It's no wonder that this wolf cavalry was careless and failed to detect the black cavalry that was so close.

Because they didn't even realize that there was a pursuer behind them.

This was the purpose of the play that Marquis Garcia had deliberately staged before.

The troll was completely paralyzed.

In their opinion, the Black Cavalry should still be in Ice Rock City at the moment, perhaps already fighting with Duke St. Hilde's Golden Lion Army.

Even if the troll really had an informant in Ice Rock City, he would not have time to convey the movements of the Black Cavalry to the troll army in time.

Because the fastest means of communication in the world is the carrier pigeon.

However, carrier pigeons can only find their way home based on changes in the magnetic field, so they can only be used to deliver messages to a fixed location, and the troll army in action will certainly not be able to receive the carrier pigeons.

The next fastest delivery method is human flesh delivery on horseback.

But the Black Cavalry themselves are cavalry, and their speed will not be slower than those who deliver messages on horseback.

What's more, they will also pay attention to what's going on behind them and won't let a messenger pass by so easily.

Therefore, Marquis Garcia actually took advantage of such a time difference in obtaining information. He first acted a scene with his brother, and then relied on the amazing mobility of the Black Cavalry to catch the troll off guard.

However, although the enemy was right in front of him and unprepared, Marquis Garcia did not immediately launch an attack.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Instead, he ordered the army to pursue them along the route taken by the wolf cavalry.

As a good general, sufficient patience is a necessary basic quality.

In the following time, the two sides kept a distance of thirty or forty miles until nightfall.

The Wolf Cavalry stopped to camp and rest, and the Black Cavalry also stopped advancing almost at the same time.

The north wind was howling, and heavy snow was falling on the ground. This made it easier for the Black Cavalry to hide their tracks.

This night, there was a ban on fire in the Black Cavalry camp.

Without a bonfire, Colin finally couldn't withstand the cold wind outside, so he got into Earl Dawson's tent.

Earl Dawson was very enthusiastic. He took out the strong liquor again and chatted with Colin while drinking.

I don't know if it's because the enemy is right in front of me, but the atmosphere in the camp is a bit tense and anxious.

Of course, this does not mean that the soldiers of the Black Cavalry are afraid.

This tension is a natural reaction, indicating that the vigilance of the soldiers has been raised.

Anxiety represents their eagerness to start killing.

Such a victorious army has completely eliminated the fear of war from the body.

Earl Dawson and Colin didn't chat for too long tonight. They also knew that the war was coming, so they went to bed early to recharge their batteries.

Although it was the earl's tent, there were still seven or eight people crowded inside, all of whom were the earl's retainers.

In order to maintain mobility, the Black Cavalry must carry as little baggage as tents, even the earl can only temporarily squeeze together with the retinue.

The only ones in the entire army who are eligible to have a camp to themselves are Marquis Garcia and Miss Vera.

Colin didn't dare to go into the camp of these two people.

Although he really wanted to go into the camp of the latter one...

In fact, Earl Dawson's tents have been planned, and the tents of ordinary soldiers can even be filled with twenty or thirty grown men.

With so many men crammed into one tent, the smell was unavoidable and the snoring was coming one after another. However, Colin, who was about to freeze after a day's trek, no longer cared about it and almost fell asleep.

But before he had enough sleep, he was woken up by Earl Dawson.

"What's going on?" When Colin got up and found that it was just past midnight, he felt a little unhappy.

"The Marquis' military order, after an hourglass, the whole army will set off!"

When he heard the military order from the Marquis, Colin, who was still a little angry to get up, could only get up obediently.

The voices of officers waking up the soldiers were also heard from other camps. However, the methods used by these officers were not so gentle, and they were all kicked directly.

"You bastard, you're so sleepy! I've been in here for so long without even noticing. How alert are you?"

"Ah, don't kick, don't kick! I'll get up right now."

…

After a brief period of confusion, the black cavalry quickly assembled and then followed the traces of the wolf cavalry.

"Are you preparing for a night attack?" Colin approached Earl Dawson and asked in a low voice.

"Night attack?" Earl Dawson looked at Colin with a strange look, and then realized that the other person was still young after all and did not have much experience in leading troops in combat, so he patiently explained.

After Earl Dawson's explanation, Colin finally realized that he had been deceived by those unscrupulous novels.

Despite the fact that novels often engage in tricks such as attacking camps in the middle of the night, in reality, few generals dare to do this.

Even if a night attack was to be carried out, it would usually be caused by small-scale troops.

An army of this size would never fight at night.

The reason is simple: night fighting is too risky.

It is true that the enemy can be caught off guard by taking advantage of the darkness, but it is also easy for one's own side to fall into chaos due to factors such as poor military orders. If one is not careful, both sides will suffer losses.

For the cavalry, night fighting was even more impossible.

Because the night has greater restrictions on war horses.

Let’s talk about the terrain. Regardless of the fact that the Cangqiong Icefield is a large plain, the terrain is flat.

But this kind of flatness is also relative. No matter how flat the terrain is, it will inevitably have some ups and downs, and there will also be many potholes.

These small ditches and chasms are not a problem at all during the day, and the war horses can gallop through them.

But at night, it is extremely dangerous.

If you accidentally stick out the horse's hoof, the joke will be big.

Therefore, for the cavalry army, it is barely possible to hold torches or march slowly by the moonlight, but if you want to launch a charge, you are out of your mind.

Of course, Marquis Garcia would not make such a stupid mistake.

So at this moment, his order was just to let the black cavalry take advantage of the night to carefully approach the wolf cavalry camp, rather than launch an attack in the dark.

It’s no wonder that Colin didn’t understand this.

Although he did follow his father, Baron Angelet, on the battlefield, there was no established cavalry in the Angelet family's army.

An expensive unit like the cavalry could not be afforded by ordinary small nobles.

Therefore, he indeed knew very little about cavalry combat.

Under the clear moonlight, the black cavalry approached the enemy step by step.

The spare horses and baggage were left in place, and the hooves of the war horses were wrapped in cloth.

Although the entire march was not completely silent, it was definitely secretive and quiet.

It was like an experienced hunter quietly approaching his prey.

The moment the prey notices it, the sharp arrow may have already been shot in front of you.

I don’t know how long it took, but Colin finally saw a little light in the distance, which was the unextinguished bonfire in the troll camp!

Colin took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the sword.

At this moment, the Marquis’s military order came again——

"The entire army rests on the spot!"

At this time, it is the darkest time before dawn.

The entire black cavalry army completely hid themselves in this darkness, quietly waiting for the moment the sun rose——

The moment the killing begins!
