Chapter Twenty-Three: Chess Meets Opponents

It is said that after General Tugrul saw that Marshal Kripp was safe and sound, he immediately let go of the burden in his heart. The only thing left now was to drive out the Tamborans who had been following them in a vain attempt to reclaim Roma.

The first to arrive was King Richard of Hope. Since Tugrul was fifty miles from the city, Richard did not dare to take the enemy lightly, so he settled down a hundred miles away.

Some of his subordinates had already made a detailed investigation of the inside situation and came to report: "The Black Robe Society and the Marshal have temporarily abandoned their previous suspicions, and are now working together to stop us from attacking the city. ”

Richard's generals spoke in unison: "Your Majesty, that barbarian general has only used one person to toss us and the Duke of Borot and General Wellington so embarrassed. Now it is facing the enemy at the doorstep, and there are new forces to help. We must not be careless, and it is not too late to wait until the follow-up troops come up to deal with it. ”

Richard was silent, he kept pacing inside the tent, as if muttering something. Counselor Forss understood the young king's thoughts, and took the initiative to speak: "Your Majesty, are you ready to take it by surprise and attack immediately?"

Richard nodded.

"There are clouds in the art of war, and the virtual is real, and the real is virtual. Tugrul is a man who is good at using soldiers, and he must be prepared. If Your Majesty goes to challenge at this time, not only will he not be calculated, but he will also be self-defeating. ”

Richard held a foul breath in his stomach and looked up at Foss.

"Your Majesty, we can also treat others the way they do. The last time it was the Desetes who robbed us, now we just need to do this, and we will definitely get the first victory. Foss leaned close to the King's ear and whispered.

Richard turned his anger into joy and said, "This is a wonderful plan! Who do you think can take on this important task and challenge it as a pioneer?"

"Your Majesty, I would like to go!" The man who spoke, with a burly figure and a beard, was Richard's favorite general, Frederick.

"General, you are going to fight, you are not allowed to win if you are defeated, and you must not be greedy for merit and rush forward. Fox admonished.

Frederick asked blankly, "Why is that?"

Foss whispered a few words in his ear.

"Strategist, I've been able to kill in front, if I accidentally forget your instructions, how can I do that?"

"Military law engagement!" said Richard solemnly, "although the general is fierce, he must also take care of the overall situation." If I don't think I'm up to the task, I can send someone else!"

"Your Majesty, I just obey the order, if it wasn't for the old duke and the general dragging me back, we would have slaughtered that kid from Tugrul a long time ago!"

"Let's just talk about this here, if you mention it in front of the emperor, you will have to lose your head!" all the generals under the tent shook their heads.

Richard smiled slightly, and asked Frederick to reorganize his troops and horses first, and go to lure the enemy. Subsequently, the generals under the tent were divided into two groups, each with elites, and ambushed around the camp. Richard himself sat in the camp with Foss and a group of strategists, and the door was wide open, leaving only a few sprinklers. Everything is ready to stop waiting for the fish to take the bait.

FrΓ©dΓ©ric was anxious and unstoppable, and in a short time he met the patrol outpost of Tugrul. Where did he take care of a lot, he rushed with blood, and directly commanded his subordinates to cover up and kill the past, but the poor Desert people suddenly became unjust souls under the knife, and in the end there was only one alive.

Frederick scolded him, "You have left a large area in the north, and you have come to our land to spread wilderness. Today, grandpa, I am here to drive you back to your hometown, you hurry up and inform your general, just say that Grandpa Frederick is here, let him quickly bathe and change clothes to greet him, if you dare to say half a step, then I will not be responsible for the death of the guest. ”

The man trembled, kowtowed vigorously, and finally fled back to Tugrul, and repeated the words from beginning to end. General De Sett said angrily: "A little partial general, he has spoken so wildly, today I will let him see and understand." ”

The staff officer in front of the tent, Aivazer, admonished: "The general is angry, this person is not enough to worry about, you don't need to go out in person, just send a subordinate to send him away." King Hope may be young, but he is very resourceful, so you need to be careful. ”

Tugrul had an epiphany: "What Your Excellency said is extremely true. The puppet is not terrible, but he is afraid that there will be fraud behind him. Now the situation is that he is attacking and defending, and he is in a hurry. Let's let him provoke!"

"General, blindly defending will also dampen the spirit of our army. Now all you have to do is send a brave general to catch the fight and tell him not to chase him deeply. ”

"General, I'm willing to go to battle!" Tugrul saw that his popularity was as strong as an ox and shaped like a galloping horse, and that it was his favorite general Tiri, so he immediately nodded his head and agreed.

Avazer repeatedly admonished: "The general is brave and known to all. This time, you only need to kill the majesty of that person, and don't go deep into the enemy camp and fall back into his plan. ”

Tilly received the order, ordered 500 soldiers and horses, and went out of the camp to meet the battle.

Frederick saw him from afar, and shouted, "Let you Tugrul come out, and I will not fight with the unknown general!"

"How can you see our general, come to me first!" said Tilly, raising two meteor hammers and riding his horse.

Frederick hurriedly picked up the flail to greet him, and the moment several weapons intersected, sparks suddenly splashed everywhere.

These two people really met their opponents in chess, and they fought for more than 30 rounds, but they still didn't see a victory. Frederick had already forgotten the instructions of His Majesty and the military advisor at this time, and was bent on devouring the people in front of him alive.

Tilly was still sober, but he was very anxious when he saw that he couldn't win his opponent for a long time, and deliberately sold a flaw, so that his opponent's flail hit his waist.

Suddenly Tilly fell under his horse and slammed the meteor hammer into Frederick's mount.

The horse fell, and Frederick was lucky not to be crushed underneath, his eyes widened, and he roared angrily: "This is a trick, there is a kind of you dismount, we will fight for another hundred rounds!"

Tilly didn't care about that, and threw the hammer at him, but luckily he dodged in time, otherwise he would have become a powder.

The crowd behind Frederick was all taken aback when they saw him fall off his horse, and without thinking much about it, they rushed up, and one of them pulled him onto his mount. The five hundred soldiers and horses on Tiri's side did not show weakness, and immediately met and killed.

These Desserts were a hundred times more capable than the ones who patrolled the camp just now, and Frederick couldn't resist it, but at this time he remembered the words of His Majesty and the military advisor, so he pulled the team and fought and retreated.

Tilly didn't want to chase him, but he couldn't stand the loud insults and ridicule from the other side.

Frederick made full use of his talents, and scolded all the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Desserts, saying that the northern barbarians are all short, otherwise how could Tugrul be of such stature? Cripple and the black-robed mage are both gay, and never wear pants when they sleep at night. Anyway, whatever is disgusting, I can say it in whatever way.

Tilly was blown into a nameless flame, vowing to cut him in two.

Before I knew it, I came to the camp of the king of Hope. Frederick was familiar with the terrain, and suddenly disappeared. Tilly was suspicious at the gate of the camp, and his men reminded: "The general is careful of deceit, you see those who sprinkle and sweep greet each other with smiling faces, let's withdraw quickly!"

As the Deseth was about to go back, King Richard came out of his tent, followed by a group of advisers, and he said in a loud voice: "Since you are here, why are you in a hurry to leave, wouldn't it be beautiful to stay and have a cup of tea and catch up with the old days?

Tilly remained silent on the surface, thinking in his heart that although he was obviously in a plot, this king was lightly subordinate, and if he could give up his life to kill him at this time, wouldn't it be immeasurable.

Thinking in his heart, he said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your affection, but now that you are outnumbered, if Your Majesty is willing to go to the ambush and set up a banquet outside the camp to greet you, I will be willing to stay." ”

Richard laughed, and he walked slowly towards Tilly alone, without hesitation.

Tilly thought he had a plan, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but at this time, thousands of arrows were already aimed at their five hundred people in the shadows on both sides.

King Richard stopped not far from the camp gate and said in a loud voice: "General, let's each step back, I am standing here alone, and you are also coming in, how about it?"

Tilly saw that this Richard was not wearing any armor, but he was fully armed, and he took advantage of it. He had already put life and death aside, and only thought about Richard's life, so he agreed.

Richard stretched out his hand to meet him, but Tilly came straight to him with two meteor hammers. Richard was still calm and waited there, and in an instant, Tilly suddenly hesitated and became nervous, the other king must have acted like this, he must be confident, he is afraid that not only will he die here, but he will not even gain an inch.

In the midst of this hesitation, Richard's army fired a thousand arrows and shot the five hundred De Setlian men and horses who had remained outside the camp into a sieve. Tilly screamed, and with grief, he threw the meteor hammer at the king's head. At the last moment, several cold arrows swished and injured his arm, and the meteor hammer suddenly fell heavily to the ground, and Richard pulled out the knife he was wearing hidden at his waist, and pressed it against Turi's neck and said, "General, I'm sorry!"

Tilly was furious at this point, but unfortunately his hands were no longer obedient, so he had to tie his neck.

Frederick turned out from the side, pointed to his forehead and scolded: "Thief, are you still arrogant?"

Tilly spat and scolded, "If it weren't for the traitor's plan, you would have become my unjust soul long ago!"

"Your Majesty, kill him!" said the generals in unison.

"Your Majesty, you should put this man back and let Tugrul know what you do. "Forss the Strategist is against the crowd.

Richard nodded yes, and ordered someone to sign a good horse to come over, and personally helped Tilly up, and Tilly yelled, "Wait and see!"

"Why didn't Your Majesty kill him? Isn't this a return to the mountain?" the crowd was puzzled.

"The little one is not enough to worry about, just to kill the enemy's sharpness and majesty, so that they dare not underestimate it. Fox said.

"Wouldn't this make their garrison even tighter, and when will we be able to break through the city of RΓ΄me?"

"Otherwise, the black robe will be the thorn behind Tugrul, if Tugrul wins, this thorn will be forbearing, if it is defeated, I expect that the black-robed mages will definitely take the opportunity to make a big fuss. This is good for us, not harmful. ”

Foss's foresight was admired by all, and the young King Richard was also smiling and unhappy.
