Wild North America 1846

Chapter 470 A Rare Leisure Time
one night a week later

"Do you really want to leave? Your Majesty, I really can't bear such a big responsibility. I implore Your Majesty to give up this crazy idea of ​​taking risks. The great cause of the empire..."

"Don't say any more, I have my own measure." Li Cha interrupted him unhappily.

He has now changed his disguise and now looks like a tall, dark-haired Hungarian.This is the dress that Richard specially made to mix into the Austrian Empire, and it doesn't seem to be inconsistent at all.

The Hungarian aristocrats in the Austrian Empire are very powerful, and there are many families with a long heritage. They can be seen everywhere in Vienna and surrounding towns. They are the second largest ethnic group in the Austrian Empire.

In the night, a few black shadows came from the low sky, Li Cha waved his hand and said, "Okay, there is no one in this world who can hurt me, so don't worry about it. After two days to settle down, I will send a telegram." Report safety, and you can just keep it a secret."

After he finished speaking, he jumped up and sat on the back of the bald eagle like a dragonfly on water. The bald eagle sank down suddenly, and when it was almost close to the ground, it swung vigorously several meters long. The vigorous wings carried Li Cha and flew straight into the sky.

Several huge black shadows followed closely behind, and disappeared into the hazy night sky in the blink of an eye.

Witnessing this unbelievable scene with his own eyes, Admiral Chen Chuan was really stunned. After a while, he bowed deeply to the lonely night sky, his eyes filled with infinite admiration.

In his mind, His Majesty is like a god-man.

Even though he has been with His Majesty for so many years, this is the first time he has seen such a scene. Fortunately, in this age, superstition is extremely strong, and the theory of gods and ghosts is common sense in life, so he is not too surprised.

Flying high in the sky on a bald eagle, facing the cool summer night wind, Li Cha felt the joy of letting the birds fly high in the sky, and he was really annoyed by the officer corps.

Staring like a tail all day long, it is not easy to move freely.

Admiral Chen Chuan has repeatedly explained to every member of the military observation team that he is never allowed to leave the team privately, and that he must act collectively at any time, and offenders will be severely punished.

this rule
In fact, it is aimed at His Majesty who does not play cards according to common sense, and let every member of the military observation team keep an eye on His Majesty at all times, for fear of any mistakes.

Well now, finally free.

After the huge bald eagles flew for a while, they could see the dark valley bottom of the Sudeten Mountains, and a continuous marching team with torches marching at night, with no end in sight.

After the three main corps of the Prussian army marched into the mountains, there were some logistics troops leading mules and horses carrying heavy loads in the middle, trekking through the rugged mountain valleys. It has been more than a week now.

The leading troops have arrived at the valley entrance on the side of the Austrian Empire, and the rear reinforcements and reserve troops have just entered. The entire march stretches intermittently for more than 270 kilometers (note; not next to each other), which is spectacular from a high altitude.

The well-trained Prussian soldiers were very disciplined, and they marched through the night in the valley with torches. Even if they accidentally stepped on the air and fell down, they just got up silently and continued to march without complaining.

Reinforcement troops in the rear had to travel overnight, try to shorten the gap with the vanguard troops in front, and gather as many troops as possible.In order to prevent the vanguard of the Prussian army from rushing out of the constraints of the mountain terrain, its strength was too weak and it was defeated by the enemy one by one.

Based on the latest information;

The speed at which the main force of the Austrian Imperial Army gathered was far beyond imagination. It was divided into two main forces on the left and right wings. The total number of troops was not 28 or 35, but an astonishing 38.5.

Over time, this number is bound to increase again.

The time window left for the Prussian army to rush out of the valley to make a surprise attack is getting smaller and smaller, and the superiority of troops has become less obvious, which exacerbates the anxiety of the Prussian General Staff Headquarters.

After flapping his wings and flying high for several hours, Li Cha sat firmly on the broad back of the bald eagle. His sharp eyes missed the night under the moonlight. Saw a vast plain.

The leading troops of the Prussian army who arrived here set up densely packed marching tents in the valley. After a short rest for two days, they waited for the follow-up troops to arrive and rushed out of the valley in one go to encircle the main force of the Austrian army.

Once opened

It is possible to stay awake for several days and nights in a row. In addition to marching, there is also fighting. After the battle, you have to pursue and continue to fight.

Eat some dry food when you are hungry, sleep for an hour or two when you are sleepy, then get up and continue to march and fight until you win.

under the moon

The few bald eagles soaring high in the sky are just insignificant black spots, which are difficult to spot without amazing eyesight.

After continuing to fly for a short distance, Li Cha saw the left-wing main force of the Austrian army camped all over the mountains and plains. This is a large army with a total number of about 11. The allied troops are stationed about 31 kilometers away from the mountain pass.

This is a traditional Austrian town. The tents set up by the Austrian army are in the shape of an "H" and stretch for more than 10 kilometers. The horizontal line in the middle is this Austrian town. Presumably the chiefs of the Austrian Army Corps are stationed here.

When passing through the small town, the town was still brightly lit in the middle of the night. Noble officers and coquettishly dressed women drank and reveled. Great danger.

These nobles from the upper class of the Austrian Empire are extravagant, and they are not willing to sleep in the wild like the lower class pariah.

Sure enough, the weakness of an empire must have its reasons.

Seeing all this, Li Cha was deeply moved;

Compared with the thriving Kingdom of Prussia, which was heading towards industrialization, the decadent Habsian dynasty was backward and conservative, and did not think about making progress. This is a large rural area in Europe, and there are almost no traces of industrialization.

As an outsider, Li Cha could see clearly; now the left-wing army of the Austrian Empire was facing a huge danger, but he didn't realize it.

You can't wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

Perhaps in the hearts of these Austrian regiment chiefs, even though they knew that the Prussian army was coming, they did not take the initiative to block the mountain pass, although this would be more beneficial.

The Austrian army hopes to defeat the Prussian army on the plains upright like the traditional knights, so as to show the glory of the nobility, and does not consider the means of being unworthy at all.

It sounds bizarre, but after excluding all possible options, it is indeed the true thoughts of the Austrians.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many fleeing German troops and noble lords to conceal the news that the Prussian army was catching up.

The next day
town of billum

Li Cha woke up from the warm and comfortable bed, with a girl with blond hair sleeping next to him. The morning light shone on the girl's fair shoulders, reflecting a hazy glimmer.

Late yesterday night, Li Cha came to this small town only 20 kilometers away from the Austrian Army Corps. He waved a few bald eagles to go to the nearby forest to rest on his own. He knocked on the door of a wealthy family in the town.

The rest of the matter is very simple, he is just a noble officer who missed the dorm, and is willing to offer a generous reward for a few nights.

This is simply a happy event that fell from the sky, and I dare not even think about it on weekdays.

The Austrian couple respectfully welcomed Li Cha in, and baked wheat bread and a bowl of hot soup. After muttering in private for a while, the couple let their beautiful little daughter, Emma, ​​accompany the noble lord to bed.

With such enthusiasm, of course Li Cha would not take away his master's kindness, his extravagant spending made the Austrian couple laugh from ear to ear.

After a sumptuous breakfast, accompanied by an Austrian girl, Li Cha strolled in this traditional mountain town, feeling particularly comfortable.

Inherited from the Middle Ages, the small town is paved with stone slabs. After a long time, the stone slabs are smooth and old, and there are a few shallow carriage ruts, revealing the vicissitudes of time.

Spiky German-style buildings are built along both sides of the road, with deep twists and turns.

This is a traditional town with a population of about three to four thousand people. Like other European towns, the center of the town is a towering church building, as well as a town hall and a few shops. They are nothing more than daily businesses such as blacksmiths and bakeries. , as well as grocery stores and clothing stores, which are equivalent to the commercial center of the town.

"Dear little Emma, ​​you look very different today. Is there anything particularly happy about it? Is it related to this noble lord beside you?"

"Yes, my lord priest, this is our distinguished guest, Mr. Orban, a noble baron from Vilna." Emma replied in a proud tone, her arms tightly wrapped around Richard's hand , like a very dependent little beast.

"Oh, I can see it..." A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the gray-bearded priest, and he could see that the tall nobleman in front of him had an extraordinary aura.

As for the relationship between little Emma and the noble lord, one can guess with the heels of her feet.

Aristocrats will always be nobles, and untouchables will always be untouchables, even rich people are also untouchables.

If one could be infected with a trace of noble blood, it would be a blessing from eight lifetimes of cultivation.

in this traditional town

People lived peacefully and did not compete with the world. Except for a few familiar faces, they rarely saw outsiders, let alone nobles.

The town of Billum belongs to the family of a Viscount Billum. The Viscount stays in Vienna all the year round. Only in summer and autumn will he send a housekeeper to collect taxes from the territory.

"Welcome to Billum, the honorable baron from afar, I am Halbert Stadt, the priest of this parish, and I am willing to serve you." Father Halber Stadt bowed slightly and saluted.

"I'm glad to see you, priest. Your accent doesn't sound like a local." Li Cha replied gracefully. There are many German servants around him, who can speak fluent German, and can even distinguish German pronunciation delicately. difference.

"Yes, Lord Baron, my hometown is the Bishop of Radsburg, and I have been away from it for more than 30 years. Unfortunately, it is now being ravaged by war. May God bless all beings, Amen!" Halber Star With a sad look on Father Te's face, he could only pray that the disaster would pass soon.

The Austrian-Prussian War has lasted for half a month. Thanks to the convenient exchange of telegrams and the Austrian Imperial Army stationed more than 20 kilometers away, it is not surprising that this remote mountain town can obtain relevant information.

The Bishop of Razburg is also one of the many German states. Richard has never even heard of many small places, so he can only nod in sympathy and say; "May God bless, all disasters will eventually pass."

After chatting for a while, Li Cha turned around and left with Emma, ​​taking a leisurely stroll.

He will stay here for a few more days to witness the Prussian Army defeating the Left Army of the Austrian Empire head-on. He will send another telegram every two days so that Admiral Chen Chuan will not worry too much.

When things are done here, go to Vienna and experience the customs and characteristics of the times in major European cities.

Perhaps, this is the only chance to act freely.

In the high position of the emperor, every word and deed is related to the turmoil of the country, and it is impossible to act willfully.

Especially after going through this incident, it is estimated that the important ministers and nobles who returned to the empire will come forward one after another to persuade them, earnestly requesting not to put themselves in danger, and the empire's plans should be the most important thing.Trying every means to make His Majesty the emperor stop doing such fools traveling in disguise.

If you don't do it well, you can really stage a show of persuasion with death.

Therefore, Li Cha knows that the time of happiness and freedom is very short, especially when accompanied by the beautiful girl Emma, ​​the happy time is fleeting.

evening twilight
The ears of wheat in the suburbs have already turned yellow heavily, and it is more than two weeks before harvesting.

Li Cha was sitting by the clear stream and fishing. The green grass beside the stream was full of colorful wild flowers, and the evening wind mixed with the fragrance of flowers was blowing, and there seemed to be some sweet smell in the air.

Emma picked up some firewood bouncing around and lit a fire by the stream.

After removing the scales and viscera of a few fat fish that were caught, they were grilled on the fire, sprinkled with some chopped wild leeks and fine salt, and they were browned and fragrant after a while.

"Wow, it's really fragrant, it's really delicious!" Emma exclaimed in great surprise.

Li Cha was so excited today that he personally grilled a few fatty fish that were charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The pollution-free wild fatty fish had a slight sweetness, making it extra delicious in his mouth.

Seeing Emma's clear eyes filled with joy, Li Cha stretched out his hand with a little pity, and wiped away the black dust on her fair and tender face, her pink mouth was really cute.

When Li Cha reached out his hand, Emma subconsciously stuck out her tongue and licked it.

this is the action
Suddenly aroused the raging possessive desire in Li Cha's heart, looking at Master Orbán's eyes full of aggression, Emma was sensitively aware that he would endure another storm.

She dodged Kazilan's beautiful big eyes trembling slightly, and just said softly: "Master, please play with Emma gently."

what else to say

Li Cha put down the half-eaten fat fish in his hand, raised his hand and picked up the exquisite Emma, ​​and strode into the woods on one side.

Not long after, a violent storm broke out...
