The Ambush
Translation details
Model:mistral-large-2512.Translated text
Section titled “Translated text”The main army advances along the highway, and to avoid danger or surprise, it sends scouts on reconnaissance along both flanks.
Two enemy patrols, following behind the army, attempt to halt its march and for this purpose try to set an ambush. One patrol circles the army so far that it moves ahead of the army’s front, then settles into hiding in a suitable place and waits until the army reaches its concealment before attacking. The second patrol waits for the signal from the first, given once it has circled the army and chosen the right place and time to strike. It then immediately attacks the army from the rear.
The army, which has allowed itself to be outflanked in this way, is taken captive and must pass under the yoke: 2 the victorious patrols, linking hands at shoulder height, form a lane, and the defeated, bowing their heads, must pass beneath 8 the gallows created by the interlocked arms of the victors.
If, however, the first patrol is spotted, a roundup is organized against it, and anyone struck by a hand is taken prisoner.
