A trip to the second dimension

As Napoleon famously said: "An army marches on its stomach."

All military operations in history are subject to logistical supply issues. The medieval army was the first to focus on supply. Due to the emergence of castles and long sieges, medieval armies could stay and fight in a place for months or even years, so their demand for supplies was unprecedented in the era before that.

But the Monteriggioni Manor, in any sense, is not close to a castle.

It is just a manor with walls and watchtowers, and it does not occupy a large area.

In this case, if the Pazzi family wants to attack the assassins they hate in their eyes, they really don't need too much time to pile up supplies.

Moreover, San Gimignano is located northwest of Monteriggioni, and the straight-line distance is only about 21 kilometers. If it is placed in modern times, under good road conditions, this distance only needs four to five hours of walking, and six or seven hours can be reached at a slower speed.

Considering the poor road conditions in the Middle Ages, and the march of 3,000 people, as well as the transportation of baggage, the five days estimated by Mario was actually quite enough.

After all, this assassin world is not the real European Middle Ages. Because it is a game world, the buildings and road conditions in many places are not very bad.

But since they already knew that the Pazzi family wanted to attack them, Mario and his team would certainly not really wait until their large army moved outside their manor and everything was ready before starting the fight. That would be really stupid.

There are not many mountains in Italy, especially in Monteriggioni, most of which are plains, with some ups and downs at most.

The march of 3,000 people was so powerful that it was very easy to detect.

On the third day, the Pazzi family's army had just passed a section of the Elsa Valley Mouth Village. Because it was night, the marching troops stopped to rest for the time being.

The civilians who followed the army fed the horses and sorted out the supplies, and they were all busy.

As for the group of soldiers, some of them sat down to rest, while others rode on horses and began to patrol around.

They were generally equipped with lances, javelins and bows, and their equipment was all relatively light.

In the early Middle Ages, light cavalry was usually composed of wealthy civilians, but now it has evolved into a situation where some people who have received knight training but cannot afford the price of the knight title often join the light cavalry. As light cavalry, they are generally used as scouts, guerrillas or flankers.

And now, they are doing the work of scouts.

The main purpose is to clear the surroundings and ensure that the area where they are camped is relatively safe and there is no ambush.

Everyone is busy with their own things, and they look quite decent. There are not many ragtag troops composed of mobs. The Pazzi family probably sent out their elite soldiers who have been trained for a long time, and it is estimated that they really intend to take down the Monteriggioni estate in one go.

"It seems that there are not 3,000 soldiers?"

In the dense grass not far from where the Pazzi soldiers camped, Hope and Ezio were squatting in the hoods.

A team of three light cavalrymen rode past them, but because of the low presence brought by the assassin instincts of the two, they did not notice the two of them.

Seeing the scouts leave, Ezio whispered to Hope.

"This should not be the entire army, probably just some advance troops to escort the baggage. And it is said that there are 3,000 people, who knows if there is any water in it. After all, it is impossible that all 3,000 people are soldiers."

After hearing Hope's answer, Ezio also nodded, feeling that it made sense.

"What should we do now? My father asked me to learn from you, and I will listen to you."

Ezio asked the second question, which was closely related to their current situation.

"It looks like they are going to set up camp here, so let's wait for a while until they have set up their temporary camp, and then we can sneak in and destroy their supplies."

Hang said, raising his hand and pointing to a carriage that was being guarded by a group of soldiers, and then said: "See that? It's full of kerosene, which will catch fire easily and is difficult to remove. It's probably used to attack the city. When we act, we can just use the kerosene to burn their siege equipment and food."

Ezio nodded and said: "I understand the principle, but how do we act? ? Although there are not 3,000 people here, there must be at least a few hundred people, right? What if we are discovered? "

"If we are discovered, then let's wait until we are discovered. If you can sneak, sneak first. If you can't sneak, just use the invincible skills, run around the door, and then come back to continue sneaking. Well, it's still a bit vague to say this. You just need to follow me later, and there will be absolutely no problem. Our mission is to cause big trouble to their marching team."

Hope spoke of his assassin's way in a matter-of-fact tone, but Ezio's mouth opened wider and wider as he listened.

This seems to be a little different from what he imagined?

So this is how to sabotage by stealth?

Although I feel that Hope's approach is very unreliable, after all, Ezio has just entered the assassin industry.

I heard from my father that Hope should be a mature assassin, and now he is still his mentor, so I should trust him, right?

Just like that, in the tangled thoughts in Ezio's mind, time gradually passed and the sky became darker and darker.

Finally, into the night, Hope and Ezio, who had been patiently waiting until this moment, finally made some movement.

Although both of them are new assassins, surprisingly, the patience required by a mature assassin is exactly the same between them.

Even after such a long time, both of them can still maintain active brains and sufficient energy.

Seeing that Hope was already bending towards the camp not far away, Ezio took a deep breath and quickly followed closely behind, staring at Hope's movements without blinking, wanting to Learn the skills a qualified assassin should master in actual combat.

"After you are almost close to the enemy's position, the first thing you do is to open your eagle eye to locate the enemy's detailed position, write down all their posture and position, and then see if any sentry will notice your actions. The next step is to We can start dealing with the enemy."

Listening to the whisper of hope, Ezio nodded, his eagle vision turned on, and everything within ten meters around him became gray, but among them, the two red figures looked particularly dazzling.

You must know that it is a very low temperature at night, and the place they are walking is not a place illuminated by the campfire.

The only person who can keep a cat in a place like this is Anshao.

It is really not that easy for ordinary people to find them in this environment.

"One person at a time, silent solution."

Hope pointed at Ezio's hidden sword and said: "You have tried it in the manor these days, you can't go wrong, right?"

"Don't worry, it's no problem." Ezio nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
