    As a group animal, humans naturally have a herd mentality.

    Originally, Baizhou was just setting up a small trap in this proposal, which was essentially beneficial to the Allies. Naturally, others could not see that Baizhou had any evil intentions.  Since it is beneficial, there is no reason not to agree, not to mention that someone has already set an example.

    "In that case, I would like to thank you all very much." Bai Zhou's words were purely polite. It was just a transaction, and there was no need to say thank you or not.

    Afterwards, Bai Zhou unceremoniously called together all the famous generals in the coalition forces to discuss the next strategy.  Of course, this is just a "discussion" in name only. In fact, the people of Western Qin have the final say, and other friendly forces only need to implement it step by step.

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    On the side of the Belfort Mountains, Burgundy's 5,000th cavalry was ready to go. The leader of the general was Viscount Dahal. His fief was just a small village near Dijon, the capital of Burgundy.  However, he is still considered a courageous and strategic general in the Burgundian army. In other words, he is good at fighting regular wars, but when it comes to quick wit and cunning, he is definitely lacking.

    The reason why Archduke John sent him here this time to complete this not easy task was mainly because Dahal was one of the few people in the Burgundian army who could see Claude in the right eye.  After all, Archduke John also knew that if a general who hated Claude was sent, even if he had the strength to rescue Claude, he might not try his best, and it would be possible to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

    "Damn it, sending cavalry to rescue people in the mountains, what does the Grand Duke think" Dahal looked at the intersection into the mountains. There were hills all around, and the cavalry's passage had been smooth so far.  But there is no doubt that once they enter the Belfort Mountains, the greatest advantage of the cavalry will be reduced to a minimum.

    But there is no other way. If the Grand Duke had sent five thousand infantrymen to rescue them, they might still be walking slowly on the road now.

    Dahar also understood this truth, so he just complained verbally.  In fact, I was quite grateful to the Grand Duke for sending him this time.  After all, he knew that if another person were to take command, even if he was also commanding the cavalry, he might still be leisurely watching the scenery on the way. By the time they arrived, his brother would have died countless times.  .

    Unlike now, when we travel hundreds of miles day and night, we only take a few hours of rest in the middle.

    "Scouts advance to the mountain first." Dahal gave the order.

    Although he was eager to save people, he was not reckless.  It is true that their cavalry unit has not been hindered by the Western Qin people so far, but it is in the plains. Now that it enters the mountain pass, it is hard to say.  The scouts must go first.

    Furthermore, they only know Claude's general location from the defeated army. The specific location is not known yet, and they need scouts to find out first so that their large army can have an accurate target.

    Belfort in winter is actually quite special. Although it has never snowed yet, the peaks above the snow line are all covered with white snow.  The trees were bare, minimizing their shielding effect. At the very least, Dahar didn't have to worry about being shot by the archers hiding behind the trees.

    After advancing for half an hour, the mountain pass had disappeared from the sight of the Burgundians. In other words, they had now completely entered Belfort.

    The surroundings are quiet. In winter, the lively calls of birds are no longer there, and the figures of animals are also very hard to find, adding a sense of solemnity to the world.

    Dahal walked very cautiously and did not move very fast.  Although saving people is important, the safety of this unit is equally important.  After all, only if this army still exists, then it is possible to rescue Claude. If this army is accidentally buried here, even if Dahar does not feel sorry for these five thousand cavalry, he also understands that when the Duke returns,  If an army is sent, Claude may definitely fall into the hands of the Western Qin people.

    It¡¯s too quiet. Even if there are no birds and animals around, Dahal feels it¡¯s too quiet now.  After all, they can now be considered as deep into local territory. There is no reason that they can't even see an enemy scout.

    Although Archduke John sent troops this time, he also had the mentality of attacking Western Qin by surprise. He believed that it was impossible for the Western Qin people to know about their military operation this time, or even if they knew, there was a high chance that they would be able to attack Western Qin due to insufficient preparation.  Before Xi Qin could react, they rescued Claude before they mobilized a large force to arrive.  But now the surrounding environment is too quiet, which is beyond Dahal's expectation.

    Even if BalfourThe Pulse is not suitable for stationing large-scale troops, but sending some scouts and reconnaissance posts here is definitely indispensable.  Unless the generals of the Western Qin people are idiots, or they are so arrogant that they are not afraid of the so-called sneak attacks by their Burgundians.

    Are the people of Western Qin like idiots?  Obviously, it is impossible for them to be able to defeat P¨¦tain and Dassault and force Claude into such a situation; are they very arrogant?  Dahal felt that it didn't seem like it. After all, being arrogant without any reason was actually a form of idiotism.

    Could it be a scam?

    If we hadn't looked around, there was no terrain that could be used as an ambush point, and there was no cover. It would definitely not be an ambush position, or even a sneak attack and harassment position. Dahal would definitely continue to line up a wave of scouts now.  .

    "Your Majesty the Viscount! Your Majesty the Viscount!" Before the person arrived, the voice came first. It was a scout sent out earlier.

    The noise startled Dahal. It was not that the Viscount was timid, but that he was already very nervous. In addition, the surroundings had been terribly quiet before. It seemed that everyone did not even dare to breathe loudly. Suddenly, they heard  I was startled when someone shouted so loudly. It was purely a physiological reaction.

    After he understood that the "Lord Viscount" should be calling him, and saw that the person coming was a familiar face, Dahal calmed down.

    Although the scout looked in a hurry, he didn't look too panicked. There must be some news ahead. Fortunately, it shouldn't be bad news.

    " Dahar doesn't seem to be a mediocre person, and he can see clearly that the person who comes here is not complaining.

    However, since it was not bad news, he acted as steady as a rock. When the anxious scout dismounted and stood up, he came to him. Just as he was about to speak, Dahal slapped him in the face and began to scold him.  Said: "Why are you panicking? Looking at you, you will only be embarrassed!"

    ¡°Maybe this scout was a new recruit, and he was stunned by Dahal¡¯s slap. He stood there without saying a word for a while.

    Dahar slapped me in the face again, "If you have something to say, say it quickly! Don't waste time pretending to be stupid here!"

    "Yes, yes, sir, there are traces of enemy troops ahead, but it looks like, no, they are not from the Western Qin people." The scout's cheeks were all red, but he did not dare to rub them in front of Dahal, and said  He also stuttered when he spoke.    Thanks to lmxy book friends for the reward
