Chapter 171: Getting Out of Trouble

Frankie was so angry that her lungs exploded.

He swore just now, telling himself with no doubt that there would be no reinforcements from the other side. How long has it been, and I ran in a panic to say that the enemy's reinforcements were about to be killed?

Fortunately, Frankie is used to being cautious, and Taranto's generals are always losing everything, and from time to time there will be some troubles, which makes it difficult for him to be completely reassured. The reconnaissance and alert before this big battle was personally arranged by him. Therefore, when the enemy's cavalry suddenly appeared 50 miles away, it was immediately discovered and the news was transmitted.

If this matter had been left to Taranto's generals, it might have been the same as what had happened to General John just now, and he would have been helpless and hasty to deal with it when the enemy had killed him in front of his battle formation.

Frankie had known about the existence of this cavalry for a long time, but it had only arrived at least a day or two later. By the time they arrived, everything had already settled and nothing could be undone.

In fact, Frankie had some plans and did not tell Duke Curchis, that is, if everything went well, he would swallow the expected enemy reinforcements.

This appetite was a bit too big, and considering Duke Kochis's psychological capacity, Frankie didn't tell him the truth. Besides, he didn't have much confidence in this part of the plan, so it was better not to say anything, and it was not too late to explain it when the situation was clear.

But no matter how much the situation changes, it is at most one less icing on the cake, and in any case, it should not interfere with the defeat and surrender of the Aberdeen counterinsurgency army!

Unexpectedly, the general who was sent to track and monitor the movements of this support army in advance made a fatal mistake, and was somehow deceived by the other party, and rushed to the battlefield at this juncture in advance.

One son is wrong, and the whole plate is lost!

Frankie flicked his hand angrily, and the officer was immediately thrown seven or eight feet away, knocking down countless debris along the way.

The early arrival of enemy reinforcements turned the situation upside down. Now it's Frankie's turn to get a headache and get anxious.

His eyes suddenly turned murderous, and his heart was ruthless.

It has become impossible to collect and surrender the entire Aberdeen army according to the original plan, and in this case, there is no need to worry about anything, and completely defeat the opponent, which can be regarded as recovering a little interest.

The reinforcements are still 50 miles away, and it will take a little time to get over. As long as you give it your all......

Frankie shook his head, his gaze darkening.

The other party obviously also received the news, Anthony's change of formation just now was completely to strengthen the defense, and it was a targeted defense to let himself go.

That's not to say that he can defend against Taranto's sharp attack, otherwise the boy wouldn't need to be a scoundrel before. But as long as the difficulty of the attack is increased and Taranto cannot be quickly decided, Frankie has to choose to retreat.

Thoughtful, not leaky!

Frankie couldn't help but secretly admire the young opponent.

But Anthony seems to have forgotten that Taranto still has superior forces of magicians......

Frankie was about to give the order when out of the corner of his eye seemed to catch a figure jumping off the platform of the Aberdeen Army.

As soon as he landed, a majestic murderous aura immediately rose into the sky.

Step by step, the man walked towards the place where the two armies were fighting, and walked very slowly. But with every step taken, the murderous aura that seems to be substantial becomes more condensed and stronger. It was as if a huge azure ice sword that pierced the heavens and the earth, and before it could issue a shocking blow, just a trace of chill leaked out made ordinary people feel numb in their hands and feet, and their whole bodies were cold.

"Azure Juggernaut" Caton!

Frankie turned his head to look at Duke Curchis beside him, and the middle-aged man in black who followed him like a shadow all the time, then shook his head and gave up his plan.

Well, at this juncture, Taranto's side really can't afford it.

That kid thinks carefully and has considered all aspects, it seems that he is destined to not get any advantage this time.

Let yourself be careful, be vigilant, and always be careful not to fall into the trap of the other party. I didn't think that in the end, I suddenly realized that I had fallen into the pit that the other party had already dug up.

The boy had no hope of turning the tide on the battlefield, but kept procrastinating, waiting for help from forces outside the battlefield.

He did it.

Frankie should have thought of that.

After all, the situation is extremely favorable to Taranto, no matter how capable Anthony is, but Frankie is not a mediocre player, and it is impossible for him to turn the table. Aberdeen can only count on help from outside the battlefield.

But the boy is so good at tossing that Frankie may not be able to hold him down if he doesn't deal with it with all his attention.

After the attention is drawn, it is inevitable that the consideration of other aspects will not be thorough. At this time, on another battlefield, Taranto lost a move in a secret battle with the support army.

All of this combined to create a reversal that allowed the Aberdeen counterinsurgency army, a duck that was about to be cooked, to fly away.

"We're going to lose?"

Duke Kochis also saw the situation, and asked very unwillingly.

When the flag of rebellion was raised, the Duke was worried about whether Taranto would be able to withstand the suppression of the rebel army. Now even if he retreats in a gray way, he has successfully achieved his original goal.

But it is the nature of human beings to look forward to Shu and to make inches. Seeing the opportunity to destroy the enemy's main force, and at the same time make his own strength skyrocket, slip away from his eyes, who can handle it calmly?

But the Duke can't blame Frankie for that. General Riga has done a perfect job, even if there are some small twists and turns in the middle, they are all problems of Taranto's army, and they have little to do with him. It was as if the success of this success at a critical moment was also due to the fact that the Taranto officer who was sent to follow the enemy's reinforcements lost his object and dropped the chain, so that the good situation collapsed in an instant, and the hard work of several months was in vain.

Who is to blame for this? Duke Kochis was eager to tear apart the officer who had been thrown to the ground by Frankie and could not get up with his own hands.

Duke Ben never knew that you had such a ability to influence or even decide the outcome of the battle between the two major provinces of Taranto and Aberdeen!

Feeling the naked killing intent in Duke Curchis's eyes, the officer who knew that he had caused a catastrophe collapsed to the ground, and he couldn't even make a snorting sound.

"Alas~" Frankie sighed, "Withdraw, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave." ”

Duke Kochis glared at the officer fiercely, and finally turned around, still unwilling in his heart.

Suddenly, the hateful voice of the young man on the other side sounded again.

"Warriors of Aberdeen, your bravery has been rewarded, and our reinforcements have finally arrived. The Burgundian cavalry was already less than 50 miles away, and would soon be able to join the fray. Warriors, the traitors of Taranto are about to retreat. Bite them and don't let them run! Let's join the Burgundian warriors in teaching these traitors a profound lesson! ”

As soon as the words fell, several Aberdeen reserve troops that had been standing still immediately moved, followed behind the "Azure Sword Master" Caton, and neatly slashed towards Taranto's wings.

Frankie's face changed, and he no longer paid attention to the unwilling Duke Curchis, and immediately signaled to the herald.

"The whole army retreats!"

Duke Kochis looked lonely and depressed. muttering to himself in his mouth is both anger and unwillingness.

"How so? How so? Isn't that bullying? ”

Taranto stopped the momentum of the attack and began to shrink back in an orderly manner. This time, the soldiers who replaced Aberdeen rose up bravely and attacked forward in turn.

When Anthony first mentioned that there were reinforcements, many people, like General John, were skeptical. But the morale of the army has improved, and the fight is getting smoother and smoother under the dispatch of the new commander, and these people quickly put this idea aside.

The battle went on for nearly an hour, but the promised reinforcements were still missing, and everyone's confidence had begun to waver. Anthony's words had been a little later, and God knows what would have happened.

Although the reinforcements are still nowhere to be seen, this time it feels much more real and reliable. There are the provenance of the reinforcements, the types of troops, and the distance from here. Fifty miles is a long way, but if the cavalry troops gallop wildly, it is a quarter of an hour or two. With a little bit of time, can't everyone hold on?

When the "Azure Sword Master" appeared in a way like a rainbow, coupled with the full pressure of the reserves, it was clear that it was the posture of the decisive battle, and the Aberdeen soldiers had more confidence in their hearts.

At a second look, the enemy really contracted the battle line and slowly retreated, obviously planning to turn around and flee.

Frankie's face sank, but he was unmoved, still methodically directing Taranto's army to slowly retreat.

Anthony shouted with blood, but the troop movement was very conservative.

He actually knew very well in his heart that the Aberdeen soldiers had reached the limit if they could hold on until now. The shouting just now and the dispatch of the Sword Master and the reserve team were just to strengthen their confidence and fighting spirit, so as not to lose their stamina at the critical moment, expose their flaws, and let the battle situation change out of thin air.

On the other hand, it is also to hit the morale of the other party, break Frankie's only remaining luck psychology, and help him make up his mind.

As for what to turn defeat into victory, pursue and kill the enemy, and expand the results of the battle, Anthony didn't even think about it. To allow Taranto to take the initiative to retreat and retreat and save this Aberdeen army, Anthony is praying to God and worshiping Buddha, and he is very happy, where can he dare to have so many extravagant hopes.

Instead, be careful and beware of Frankie's wild throws before leaving, that's the right thing to do.

Under the tacit "cooperation" of the coaches of the two sides, the Taranto army finally slowly disengaged from contact, retreated step by step, and finally disappeared from the field of vision of the Aberdeen soldiers.

Bang Chang ~ Bang Chang ~

There was the sound of weapons falling to the ground.

I don't know who started it, anyway, except for the reserves that joined the battlefield at the end, all the soldiers threw down their weapons and sat on the ground, panting heavily.

Some people simply collapsed on the ground, not moving. If it weren't for the violent heaving of his chest, it would be indistinguishable from a dead corpse.

Anthony did not reprimand the soldiers who had no formation to speak of, nor did he make them stand up and reline themselves to guard against the enemy's return.

They are indeed exhausted, and they deserve praise instead of criticism and reprimand.

Anthony left them to rest on the spot, only to draw a few dozen elite scouts from the reserves that had not joined the battle, and followed the departing Taranto army far away, and reported back if he noticed anything unusual.

At the same time, it also allows the reserve to line up in a defensive formation and be on high alert. Even in the event of a surprise attack, it is necessary to buy precious time for the army to regroup.

When the Burgundian cavalry arrived, they saw this rather strange scene at the scene:

At one time, the troops with a strict formation but a little thin stood in the way of the advance.

Not far behind them was an army that seemed to have just experienced a crushing defeat. Lying all over the place, swords and other weapons were thrown everywhere.

One standing and one lying, one strict and one scattered, the contrast between the two sides is so clear, and under a closer look, it is so harmonious and harmonious.

The arrival of reinforcements from Burgundy meant that the crisis was finally resolved.

Although the Aberdeen warriors, who had somewhat recovered some strength, were still weak in their hands and feet, they could not suppress the joy and excitement in their hearts.

"Hooray!"

"Long live the glorious empire!"
