Chapter 59 East Camp

A man burst into the hall and shouted; Attacked."

"The wicked report first?!" Hearing someone shouting that they were attacked, Winters was furious, and strode towards the shouting man and walked over.

The unknown lieutenant Colonel Contell and André followed.

It wasn't until she was only a few steps away from the man that Winters realized that the man in front of her was not the assassin with a broken jaw that had run away. The visitor was wearing a colonel's uniform, and the assassin was wearing a dark green hunting suit.

Colonel Bozukhov went to the uninvited guest first, handed him a glass of wine, grabbed his arm and said warmly: "Don't worry, take it slow, what attacked?"

The man with his hair in locks of sweat grabbed the glass and poured a full glass of sweet beer down his throat. After drinking the glass of wine, he regained his strength, stared wide-eyed, panting to Bozukhov: "Navy Dock! The duckbill fort has been lost! General Zio told all officers who got the news to immediately Go to East Camp and gather."

There were several exclamations from the crowd around, and a lady almost fainted.

Colonel Bozukhov tightly grabbed the shoulders of the person who came, and asked sharply: "Who attacked us?"

"I don't know!" The man who came to report also asked. Roaring back, he repeated it again: "Admiral Zio's password: All army officers and soldiers who hear this password go to the East Camp to gather immediately! Must not be missed!"

Bozu Hoff let go of the man who came to report the letter, glanced at the crowd of onlookers, and asked loudly, "Who can confirm the identity of this gentleman?"

"He is my same period, the 13th artilleryman. Ke, someone from the Ordnance Department. Everyone in the 13th issue should know him." Another man stood up.

After confirming the identity of the person in front of him, Bozukhov rushed towards the man who stood up and said loudly to everyone: "The Navy Pier was attacked, the artillery fort was lost, and the enemy's situation is unknown. Please stay away. Gentlemen serving in the army take care of the ladies present. Gentlemen with army rank come with me to the East Camp!"

The whole hall was boiling, and the officers ran around looking for their coats and sabres, Ms. They panicked and asked those around them what happened.

“Saint Physique is here, what the hell.” Contaire cursed and strode out the door: “Follow me, let’s go get the horse first.”

André followed Lieutenant Colonel Comter without the slightest hesitation. Winters originally went back to the hall to find assassin, but suddenly received an urgent assembly order, leaving him at a loss for what to do.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Winters fiercely kicked the stone pillar beside him and scolded angrily: "It's cheap, you son of a bitch!" Then he quickly caught up with Contell and andre.

The small stables at Bozukhov Courtyard are now so crowded that officers have to stick their heads over the shoulders of others to identify their horses. At the entrance of the stables, some people were leading their horses to go out, and some people were going to enter, which was blocked.

The neighing of the horses mixed with the loud voice of the people, making people dizzy. From time to time, I can hear the question of "how are you holding my horse?".

In a bad mood, Winters simply kicked open a fence and opened a side gate to the stables, finding another way to lead the fortune out.

There are already many people waiting in the front yard, talking together in small groups. Bozukhov sat on a tall blue horse with a gloomy face, chewing tobacco with his jaw moving, silently counting the number of people in his heart.

He rode that spirited steed, in sympathy with his master, impatiently digging the lawn with his front hooves.

The sticky chewing tobacco residue was spat on the ground by Bozukhov, the colonel couldn't wait any longer, and said to the officers who were ready to go: "No wait, let's go first, the rest Let them follow from behind."

After saying that, he rushed out of the courtyard. Winters and Andre looked at each other and followed the others out.

————Cut————

In the eastern suburbs of Hailan City, the army barracks commonly known as "East Camp" is also in chaos at the moment, and the camp door is wide open.

Colonel Bozukhov kept his horses fast and led the officers through the battalion gate directly. Riding a horse to storm the gate of the barracks was a felony that required 15 lashes, but obviously now was not the time to investigate this issue.

East Camp is a standard Army barracks that can accommodate 6,000 to 7,000 men, exactly the size of a full Legion plus auxiliary cavalry.

The overall shape of the barracks is rectangular, with three-meter-high outer walls and ditches surrounding the entire barracks. Inside, two main roads, one horizontal and one vertical, intersect vertically, and there are four main gates at the intersection of the main road and the wall.

The building near the center of the entire barracks is more important. The outer ring near the outer wall is the soldiers' barracks, and further inside are the stables and officers' barracks. At the very center of the intersection of the two roads are the high-level officers' residences, warehouses, military council halls and Legion vaults.

Dongda Camp is the base of the Fourth "Feelengcui [Hundred Flowers City]" Legion, but the Fourth Legion is currently facing off against the Union Provinces in the north, and there are only a few maintenance personnel left in this camp Besides, not a single soldier.

Bozukhov went straight to the center of the camp without stopping. At this moment, only this part of the barracks was lit, and the other barracks were pitch-dark.

A hair grey-white, an old soldier in a general's uniform was riding a horse and standing at the most conspicuous place at the intersection, with several guards following him. Further back, many officers had already arrived after hearing the news, and people at the intersection shouted horses neighing.

Bozukhov stepped forward and gave a military salute, and the two said a few words. Afterwards, Bozukhov came back and told the officers who came with him loudly: "Go back and find your own superiors, and gather according to the agencies."

The officers dispersed, and Winters was in chaos Looking around, suddenly someone patted his shoulder. When he turned around, he found that it was Lieutenant Colonel Field.

The lieutenant colonel nodded to him, turned around and led him to the back of the military assembly hall, where the army headquarters basically rested. The officers gathered in small piles by department, sitting or standing, smoking cigarettes and talking in low voices.

Winters followed Field to the eaves, sitting alone on the ground with his back against the wall and a hat on his face, taking a nap. Looking at the figure, it is undoubtedly Major Moritz.

The three members of the gendarmerie had arrived, Field moved a stone, sat down, and asked Winters: "You got orders too?"

"Someone ran to Bozuho. Herald's order." Winters also sat on the ground: "I got something, it's in my saddle bag." , exclaimed: "How much did you take?"

"I took out everything that might be useful." Winters scratched his head apologetically.

"Let's take a look at it tomorrow." The lieutenant colonel stuffed the document back again and looked at Winters: "You don't have a weapon?"

"I went straight from the duel. The Warriors Club came over, but didn't take any weapons."

"Let me pick it up." Lieutenant Colonel Field walked in front: "I guess Zio is waiting for the two battalions of the three Legions, the two battalions We'll be off as soon as we arrive."

"Where's the attack on Navy Pier? We're not at war with anyone, are we?" Hit an assassin on a pier..."

"What?" Field stopped in surprise and turned around.

"I had a face-to-face with an assassin on a pier in the stable."

Field frowned asked: "Are you sure you read that right?"

"The body and shape are very similar to that assassin, and there is still a wound on the chin. I tried him out, and he immediately started with me." Winters gnashing teeth said: "It's a pity to let him run away, that bastard is playing tricks, Throwing ash and grass clippings at my face, fascinated my eyes."

"Meet you in the Bozukhov Courtyard?"

"That's right."

“Sure?”

“Sure!” said Winters resolutely and decisively.

Field patted Winters shoulders: "It doesn't matter if they run, since they are in the Bozukhov Court, it means they have a lot of connections with the Duelist Club, which means we are going in the right direction. But you remember, if you encounter each other again in the future, don't act rashly. They will really play with you, be careful."

"Then assassin won't win if it doesn't play tricks. Me." Winters was still indignant.

Field sighed, turned around and continued walking, saying word by word, "Porcelain doesn't touch pottery, understand?"

Winters said "oh" in disapproval With a bang, he followed the lieutenant colonel.

The key to the armory door of Dongda Camp was taken away by the Ordnance Officer of the Fourth Legion, so the three iron locks on it were forcibly pried open.

Because most of the officers were suddenly ordered to assemble urgently, they arrived at the East Camp with bare hands and horses. So a high level officer took over with a few people, handing out weapons and armor to officers in need.

Winters took a breastplate, a helmet, and a saber until he realized that he might actually see blood tonight.

He hurriedly asked Lieutenant Colonel Field: "Who the hell attacked Navy Pier...what's the Navy Pier? And there's no money."

"I don't know, I was also knocked on the door. Come on, don't tell me anything." The lieutenant colonel kicked the sleeping Major Moritz up: "Don't sleep, wear armor."

Major Moritz yawned and moved a bit. Shoulders, stand up again and slowly move the joints of the whole body.

Field didn't get angry when he saw the major's lazily virtue. He kicked the major again: "Stop dawdling."

After Winters helped Lieutenant Colonel Field and Major Moritz tie their breastplates, Lieutenant Colonel picked up Winters' breastplate and gestured to Winters. Stand in front of yourself.

Squires will wear armor for Knights, and low-level officers will wear armor for high-level officers. But high-status people don't wear armor for low-status people, it's a traditional custom.

Winters was a little flattered: "I'll just wear it myself."

"Stop talking nonsense." Lieutenant Colonel Field rudely pulled Warrant Officer Montagne to his side, pushing the cuirass over Winters. He said: "There are more officers and less soldiers in Hailan City. Now there are only three Legions and two battalions, and they are still in the Western District. I don't know when I will be able to come. I am worried that Zio can't wait, and will take us as the big head. Soldiers call."

"How can the three Legions come slower than us?"

Lieutenant Colonel Field coldly snorted: "Who makes officers have warhorses? Heard the news Came here on horseback. That's great, you guys from the infantry department, you're going to be dragoons tonight."

Lieutenant Colonel helped Winters put on the breastplate. , and carefully inspected all the belt buckles for Winters. After confirming that they were all tied firmly, he patted the iron plate on Winters' back: "Okay, you can move around on your own, and see what's uncomfortable... How about you practice chopping right away?"

"Not much." Winters answered honestly: "The Infantry Division doesn't have any immediate chop lessons now."

"Just chop at the head." Lieutenant Colonel Fields mounted his horse and demonstrated a few Chopping: "Clamp both legs. After chopping, the knife goes back to its original position from the side of the body and draws a small circle. Don't fight, you are now a cavalry soldier with four legs. If you can't beat it, run away."

Another rider galloped through the camp gate and galloped all the way to the intersection. The horseman stood up, the rider jumped off the horse, strode to the old soldier in the general's uniform, the chairman of the thirteen-member council, the five-member council member, and the governor Admiral Zio, whispering to him report.

Five minutes later, all the officers of the Dongda Camp were ordered to immediately proceed to the Navy Pier and retake the duckbill artillery base.
