Chapter 12: Victory in the First Battle

Imperial soldiers formed formations and formed a circle with shields to protect the goods.

However, these "robbers" were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed into the defensive circle of the imperial soldiers. Since this imperial army was not equipped with many spears, it was not very good at dealing with horseback.

"Cut the rope!" said the tall "bandit leader."

When the "robbers" received the order, they threw torches at the Imperial soldiers and pack horses.

The pack horses and men were frightened, and the formation of the Imperial soldiers was suddenly thrown into disarray.

The Imperial knights in the rear team couldn't stand it anymore and rode after the robbers on horseback.

But the thieves shouted at each other and ran into the forest.

"Don't chase! Come back quickly!" The leading officer suddenly reacted, this was the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

But in fact, those knights did not listen to his orders at all, and ran after the bandits towards the mountains and forests. The knights ran into the woods and were separated from each other. Coupled with the fog, they can only fight on their own.

Most of them are unfamiliar with the terrain and get lost in the woods. But they didn't know how many cold arrows and traps were waiting for them, and all that awaited them was death.

On the convoy's side, the leading commander became cautious after losing the support of the knights. The reins of the horses were cut off by the horse thieves, and even the horses were scared away, and the convoy could only stand still for a while.

The leading man held the moonblade axe in his hand, and he was engrossed in observing the movements around him.

At this time, the dense fog is gradually dissipating.

"God help me. The lead commander thought to himself

"Tony, it's our turn. Gravel said

In an instant, more than 200 arrows were fired at the convoy. But most of them were blocked by Imperial soldiers with shields.

"No, my lord," Tony said

"Rush, brothers. "Gravel can't do that much

"The robbers are coming again. The Imperial soldier shouted

"Form a formation, crossbowmen ready!" the lead man ordered

The commander of the Imperial convoy ordered the crossbowmen to be ready to shoot at Gravel at any time for these so-called "robbers".

On the other hand, Gravell did not let him and his men die in vain, but let the archers shoot at the Imperial soldiers.

During the confrontation between Gravel and the Imperial soldiers, Delena also led a team of men and horses. These were all women, and they were all trained by Delena to use bows and arrows.

"Hurry up and get your men to do what they planned!" Gravel said solemnly to Dalena

"But I'm worried about you. ”

"Go and complete your mission, don't let you delay the overall situation"

"Well, you have to take care. Dai Lina said with a hint of reluctance

"Go, sisters. Follow me. "Delena left Gravel with the female archers

At this time, the commander of the convoy was very anxious. He was anxious about the Imperial knights who were chasing the bandits, and he was worried about whether those he secretly sent out to bring in the rescuers would be able to do so. Now the horses are gone, and the whole convoy is paralyzed here.

If the rescuers don't come, he can only choose to fight to the death with those cunning "robbers".

Besides, those imperial knights who chased into the mountains and forests did not find those robbers after going around for a long time. Although the fog was much lighter at this time, they still found themselves lost in the dense forest.

Suddenly, a knight's horse accidentally tripped over a hidden rope, and the traps around him were suddenly triggered. Some knights were caught in nets falling from the sky, some were stabbed to death by spikes buried in the ground, and some were even directly smashed off their horses by oncoming boulders.

In this way, the knights who came to chase were broken up and eliminated one by one by the men and horses led by Morin. Having eliminated this group of elite Imperial knights, Merlin immediately led his men to support Gravel.

The Imperial Commander, who was originally about to wait for rescue, was startled by Morin and the others who came out from behind. Don't look at this commander's strong appearance, in fact, his heart is still very fragile.

The commander and his men immediately fell into disarray, for it was difficult for their infantry to compete with the cavalry. The men with whom Merlin was armed were experienced warriors, and each rode a horse. Morin belonged to the light cavalry, because they did not wear any armor on their bodies, so they were also extremely fast.

When Gravel saw Morin approaching with his men and horses, he immediately ordered everyone to rush out of the forest. The Imperial crossbowmen, who had been ready to shoot, were crushed by Morin's cavalry charge. The crossbowmen were scattered in all directions, left and right unprotected. Plus Gravel, a large number of their infantry poured in.

For a time, the entire battlefield became a sea of blood. The two sides that were once at a stalemate have now become one-sided.

The Imperial Commander retreated alone while directing his men into battle.

Finally, he ordered the troops to abandon the escorted cargo. Instead, let all the soldiers flee with him in the direction of Haiyabao.

Morin's men were just about to chase after the rout.

"Don't chase it. Maureen shouted

The men under him looked at Morin and looked puzzled.

"Poor Kou Mo chase. Morin looked at his subordinates' puzzled gazes and said with a smile

His men followed Morin's instructions to evacuate the goods of the empire to the camp of refugees by horse-pull.

On the Imperial Commander's side, he led the remnants of more than fifty people all the way to the castle.

"It's over. The goods this time are too valuable, that's ......" The commander felt a chill on his body just thinking about it.

While the commander was worried about the accident, a rattling arrow was placed in front of his horse. The Commander's horse was frightened and threw the Commander off his horse with a jerk.

The bearded commander dismounted, and immediately pulled the moonblade axe out of his back. The remaining Imperial soldiers also reformed their defensive formations.

Immediately afterward, the man hiding in the dense forest fired a second arrow. This archer was none other than Delena. I saw that while Dai Lina was taking her bow, she was focusing on the Imperial Commander with her eyes.

"Whoosh" arrows pierced the air and whistled towards the commander.

The arrow was impartial and landed right on the helmet of the Imperial commander.

Seeing the helmet rolling to the ground, a trace of cold sweat dripped from the commander's forehead.

"You're still wondering why reinforcements haven't arrived yet, are you?" said Delena, walking out of the jungle and over to the commander.

Then, Delina beckoned into the forest. Several women with longbows on their backs walked out with three tied Imperial soldiers.

When the Imperial Commander saw the three soldiers, he immediately understood. This group of "robbers" is not ordinary, the commander can't help but admire them in his heart, but it is too late.
