Chapter 041: A Battle Without Suspense
Pierre has recently felt that his power is gradually expanding, and according to the custom of the kingdom, the army under the command of the governor cannot exceed 30,000 men at most, but the tense situation in the country of Da Yu has given Pierre the right to lead the army very highly, and Pierre's army has expanded to 50,000 men.
Pierre knew that the current situation could determine his future was the army, and there was faint news from the royal capital that the king had planned to promote himself to the rank of marquis in order to ensure that the fortress of Amesvalon was foolproof, and his father was only a duke, and the business in the past few years had brought so many benefits to himself.
And from time to time to repel some small rebels, this made Pierre's confidence burst, and he felt that he had gradually become a military talent, and he would definitely become a prince with Ammesvalon, and even his father would have to look up to him!
In recent days, Pierre had heard of the return of horse thieves from the west, numbering about 500 men, who often gathered slaves and civilians around the fortress. Moreover, the horse thieves occupied a mountain with a difficult terrain and began to build a camp near the peak.
Pierre has no concept of the combat effectiveness of horse thieves, remembering that George casually beat horse thieves all over the ground, but now he has nearly 50,000 troops, and it is not easy to deal with horse thieves or something!
Pierre had his men mobilize 30,000 men to attack the stronghold established by the horse thieves, leaving 10,000 men to guard the fortress and another 10,000 to guard the castle of Myron, which was where he stored a large amount of food and military supplies.
In order to create an invincible and tall image, Pierre prepared to go out in person, chose a tall white horse, put on a special large armor, and did not wear a helmet on his head, but a top hat that symbolized a certain noble status.
An army of 50,000 marched towards the peak where the horse thieves were stationed.
George led 500 archers, chose a mountain peak that could be advanced and retreated, symbolically built a simple camp, and then led 500 archers around the mountain to prepare for an ambush, George thought that Pierre could bring out an army that was okay after he left a certain foundation for him, but he didn't expect to see Pierre's army when he sighed! Sure enough, it was okay! 50,000 people wandered over in a mess.
George issued an order for 200 elite archers armed with longbows to attack the flanks of the local troops, and 300 archers to guard the flanks of the longbowmen, shoot and kill the approaching troops, and when the opponent rushed to a certain distance, they retreated in small groups and returned fire as they retreated.
Pierre suddenly heard a sharp whistling, only to see the soldiers on the flanks start to fall from the arrows continuously, but found that the other side was less than 200 or so. Pierre ordered an attack, and the large army turned and charged towards Georges' archers.
And the frustrating thing is that the opponent's archers do not engage, but retreat while shooting, 500 archers take turns to shoot arrows, basically after shooting 5 arrows, immediately ride back, and about 3 arrows in 5 arrows can kill an enemy, after a few rounds of retreat, it seems that Pierre's troops are chasing and killing horse thieves, but the horse thieves are not dead, on the other hand, Pierre's troops, have fallen nearly 3000 people.
And just as Pierre launched an army to chase after the horse thieves, Tina and Teng led 3,000 troops, wearing the standard military uniforms of the Da Yu national army, and began to enter the fortress.
But when Tina slashed the necks of the guards with her sword, everyone exploded.
Pierre's soldiers are really a bit rubbish, in addition to eating empty salaries in ordinary times, the troops are basically not trained, when the alarm bell on the city is ringing, everyone is still sleeping in the barracks, gambling and gambling,.
The 10,000 troops were led by Tina, and 3,000 troops were all hanged, leaving not a single one.
And Tina left behind 1,500 pikemen, led by Yuto to guard the fortress, and with 1,500 spear light horsemen and changed into the clothes of Pierre's troops, he marched in the direction of Myron Castle.
Pierre's eyes almost popped out at this time! His own army was as many as 30,000! How could he not even kill the other party's 500 men. Pierre roared loudly, "Charge, all charge, tear those 500 knights to pieces!"
The surrounding henchmen said: "Lord Pierre, all of you have already charged, don't be in such a hurry! After the opponent's arrows are shot out, we will not be afraid, and at that time, we will be able to tear the other party apart!"
Pierre said: "Hmph! A few hundred horse thieves, under my wise command, are no match at all!
In several rounds of attrition, 8,000 of the 30,000 troops were shot dead, and the knight's feathered arrows bottomed out.
George whistled loudly and all the archers were gone!
Pierre was stunned, "Oh yes, what happened? Why did you run away? Can't beat it?
Pierre exclaimed, "Haha! How's that? See? Hmph! I knew that these horse thieves couldn't make it to any climate, just that, grasshoppers after autumn, and it would be over after a few jumps." Cut! And let me work hard!"
The henchmen around him echoed one after another: That's it, what the hell! It's all some little thieves, and they are scared when they see Mistress Pierre!
Pierre said, "Well, let's have a feast when we get back to the fortress today!Tell the king that we've killed 50,000 horse thieves!"
All the henchmen agreed: That's 50,000, it's 500,000, Lord Pierre led the elite to break the horse thieves, and killed countless horse thieves!
Pierre suddenly said: "You are a mallet! How can there be so many horse thieves, how many people are there in the Western Regions? It's 100,000!
The henchmen chimed in: Yes, the 100,000 horse thieves were crushed by the wise and powerful Lord Pierre in one fell swoop.
Pierre laughed profusely, raised his head in high spirits, turned his horse's head and began to order the troops to withdraw.
When the troops had not been gone for long, the sound of horses' hooves was heard behind them, and Georges led the archers to replenish their arrows and began to shoot Pierre's troops.
When Pierre heard that the rear of the army was attacked, he was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse, but after seeing that there were still a few hundred people, he immediately came again, charged! The whole army charged! 100,000 horse thieves were killed, and now let's pursue the remnants of the horse thieves!
After shooting 5,000 of Pierre's troops, many of the archers began to gasp for breath, apparently exerting a great deal of physical strength.
Seeing that it was almost done, George let the archers continue to retreat.
Pierre seemed to feel that something was wrong at this time, and his troops seemed to be killed by more than 10,000 people one after another. And the horse thief's horsehair hasn't even been touched yet!
Here Pierre yelled: "All the troops are back to the fortress, immediately!
