Sir, the deputy commander of the legion sent someone to reprimand us again, saying that it would be too late to rush to the ambush site, and that the Lombards had already packed their things and were about to leave. ≤,.▽.o√" Ron said as he approached Art, who was slowly nibbling on a small piece of rye bread.

"It's all a bunch of greedy guys, and they're really so easy to deal with as Lombards? If the Lombards were so easily ambushed, the flag on Solburg would have been replaced long ago. "Angus has been annoyed by the urging of the deputy commander of the legion.

"I'm not sure whether the Lombards will be ambushed, but the fact that they want to abandon the city and retreat should not be fake, just now our soldiers who were on guard near the south gate urgently reported that the baggage team of the Lombards had begun to walk out of the south gate, and the defenders on the four walls of Thorborg had all withdrawn, and it was estimated that they were assembled in the south city to prepare to abandon the city and return to the south."

"The adjutant of the legion with two banner corps and cavalry is rushing to the south of the city bypassing the west gate, one is to monitor the Lombards leaving the city, and the other is that once the Lombards have withdrawn from Solburg, they will immediately take over Solburg from the south gate with the city gate wide open, in case anything happens." Ron also felt that there was nothing wrong with the Lombards abandoning the city.

In the face of the siege of the enemy soldiers abandoning the city, let the heavy supplies leave first, and then the last to evacuate after the army is confirmed to be safe, which is also in line with normal logic, so Art is also a little suspicious of his speculation at the moment.

Angus saw Art's vacillation and asked softly, "My lord, if we still take the path to the ambush point set by the legion commander, even if we fail to ambush the Lombards in the end, the legion commander can explain the past." ”

Art hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said, "Okay~ After the Lombard army leaves the southern city, we will rush to-"

Art paused suddenly.

"Listen! What was that? Is it a clarion call to meet the enemy!! ”

Art pricked up his ears and listened.

Buzz ~ Buzz ~ Buzz ~

A few trumpets reached the edge of the jungle southeast of Solburg.

"Not good!! The horn of the enemy was heard from the northern city!! Angus exclaimed.

"Otto! Assemble your army! Enter the battle mode and march to the northern city!! Art said to Odo.

"Sergeant Major, you personally lead the sentry cavalry to the northern city first, don't rush to meet the battle, I will bring the infantry to arrive later."

Angus received the order, quickly took off the feed bag on the horse's head, grabbed the reins, jumped on horseback, and led the sentinel cavalry to rush in the direction of the northern city......

In the northern city, Feng Billon, who was nearly forty years old, personally led more than 200 elite Lombard soldiers to charge towards the camp of the Eastern Army garrison, and the people who followed Feng Billon closely were the thirty or so Lombard hoplites wearing half-body plate armor, but unlike ordinary infantry, these people charged on horseback, and they would retain their physical strength to use at the critical moment of charging and fighting.

Feng Billon was scheming, he first used 150,000 finneys of gold cakes and silver coins and precious goods to relax the vigilance of the besieging army, and then sent people to evacuate from the south gate with a dozen or so carts of "valuable" baggage, so that the besieging enemy army thought that they had already advanced the supplies and the army would inevitably withdraw from Solburg.

When the adjutant of the Eastern Legion was fully convinced that the Lombards had begun to evacuate and rushed to the southern city with nearly 200 soldiers from the two banners and cavalry to monitor the "escort", the Lombards suddenly rushed out of the city gate and slaughtered the empty garrison camp outside the northern city. ▲≥，.√.≧o

If the adjutant led his troops to the legion camp in front of Nancheng and still had a lot of troops, then the camp was really empty at this time, and the two hundred or so civilian mercenaries and baggage soldiers with average combat strength could not resist the Lombards at all, and as for those civilian traders who accompanied the army, they could only be dragged down.

Therefore, when there was a sudden rush of the horn to defend against the enemy on the siege tower outside the camp, the legion camp did not react at all, until a few sentries cried and rushed back to the camp to call for the enemy attack, and a few officers who stayed behind remembered that they should immediately assemble soldiers to line up to defend against the enemy.

However, the slightest hesitation led to a missed opportunity.

The legion camp was only more than a thousand steps away from the northern city of Sol Fort, counting the sentries who noticed that the gate of the northern city was open to the officers who heard the warning and hastily gathered the soldiers scattered in the camp out of the camp, dozens of black-armored horsemen of the Lombards had already rushed to the front of the camp, and most of the Lombard soldiers behind also rushed over like chicken blood.

Before the soldiers of the battalion could assemble in formation, the Lombards had already rushed to the gate of the camp and strangled the legionnaires who were waiting to leave the camp.

In a desperate battle, the Supreme Commander Von Bylon personally led the army to charge, and the blood and bravery of the Lombards were instantly inspired. Without a word from the officers, the Lombard soldiers all abandoned their fear of death and stormed the camp of the Eastern Legion without hesitation.

At the gate of the camp, although the soldiers of the Eastern Army also resisted desperately, they were still weak in the face of the sudden attack of the Lombards, and more than 30 Lombard hoplites broke through the door, and the battle at the camp gate soon became one-sided.

The legionnaires who stayed in the camp were killed all over the ground by the heavy hammers and axes of the Lombards, steel knives and sharp swords, and the soldiers and civilians who stayed in the camp were panicked in the face of the sudden disaster, and the Lombards who broke into the camp were completely chopping melons and vegetables, and the camp soon became the hell of Shura......

Feng Bilun raised his hand and slashed it, slashing the steel long sword diagonally into the soldier's neck, the soldier who was cut suddenly felt pain, his facial features were suddenly distorted, he threw away the weapon in his hand and hugged the exposed blade with both hands, trying to prevent the long sword from going deeper.

Feng Bilun raised a kick, kicked the soldier's abdomen, and pulled out the long sword violently, the long sword was pulled out along the soldier's neck, and the fingers of the soldier's hands holding the blade of the sword were cut off together, and the soldier who fell to the ground tried to cover the huge wound at the base of his neck with both hands, but the fingers of both hands were already gone, and the scarlet blood at the base of the neck spurted out~

Feng Bilun turned his head and glanced in the direction behind him with his blood-dripping long sword, turned his head to look at the Lombard soldiers who had already rushed into the camp and slaughtered the enemy, and shouted to the personal guards who followed him: "Order, don't fall in love with war, collect firewood and baggage, burn the camp, and return to the !!city quickly."

Several of his own soldiers ran to the camp gate and shouted at the red-eyed Lombard soldiers: "Don't be in love with war, collect firewood and materials, burn the camp, and return to the !!city quickly."

The Lombards, who had rushed into the camp to chase and slash the defeated enemy, heard the order and immediately stopped their torture of the rout, and instead looked around for wagons and oxcarts, and carried the firewood piled up in the camp to the wagons to be transported back to Thorburg.

Seeing that almost all the enemy soldiers in the camp were killed or surrendered on their knees, Feng Bilun decisively left fifty or sixty soldiers to guard the surrendered soldiers to collect baggage and destroy the enemy camp, and then took most of the remaining elites to intercept the enemy soldiers along the route of the enemy soldiers in the southern city.

The attack of the Lombards was so sudden and swift that when the eastern legion camp was breached, the adjutant of the legion, who was watching the "abandoned enemy soldiers" outside the south gate, had just hurriedly led his army to the northern camp.

However, as soon as they passed through the West City Gate, the reinforcement team led by the adjutant of the legion collided with the interception army led by Feng Billen himself, and the two armies of equal numbers immediately fell into a melee as soon as they met......

To the southeast of the camp of the Eastern Army garrison, Art was rushing to the aid of more than 90 soldiers with five squadrons and a Gongnu squad of the outpost, and after hundreds of steps, Art had already seen the fire rising in the camp, and a group of Lombards were hurrying out of the camp with more than a dozen carriages and quickly returning to the city in the direction of Thorburg.

Angus led seven or eight cavalry of the sentinel cavalry to hang around the Lombard army returning to the city to harass and delay, only to see that the Lombards divided into about 20 soldiers to drive away the attacking cavalry, while pulling the carriage straight to the north gate of Solburg, at this time the north gate of Solburg was opened, and three or five soldiers were waiting for the Lombard soldiers returning to the city at the city gate.

"Odor, lead the 1st and 2nd squadrons to the north gate of Solburg, occupy the north gate, and block the retreat of the Lombards."

"Triduok, lead the mercenary squadron to support the camp, if there are a large number of enemy troops in the camp, give up the rescue, and rush to the north gate to block the enemy's retreat."

"Kazak, Ron, Jason, lead the team to intercept the Lombards with me, and I can't let them retreat into Solburg with firewood."

Several commanders took orders and led their teams into three teams to advance at full speed towards the goal.

Fifty paces ahead of the Lombards who were escorting the firewood and baggage, the Lombards again divided into thirty or so men and hurriedly lined up to meet the enemy troops who rushed to meet the rushing enemy, and resisted the attack for the remaining few men who rushed to the northern city with the baggage.

Artler stopped his horse, turned his horse's head and ordered the thirty or forty soldiers who were chasing after him: "Charge in formation!"

Kazak and Ron hurriedly slowed down the army, and after roughly arraying them, they rushed towards the Lombards who had taken the initiative to rush from more than thirty away. Jason stopped, removed the quiver from his waist, and sent the Gongnu squad to shoot a rain of arrows at the Lombards, who were about to reach three of them, and his own army engaged the Lombards.

The Lombards were also surprised by the sudden appearance of the enemy reinforcements in the southeast, but instead of retreating and fleeing, the Lombards formed two separate teams to resist the onslaught of cavalry and infantry.

The chopping of melons and vegetables in the camp of the Eastern Legion just now gave the Lombards the false impression that all the Eastern Legionnaires were lambs, and they thought that as long as they withstood a wave of onslaught, these enemy soldiers would naturally be overwhelmed and defeated.

The Lombards obviously didn't know how strong the black-robed soldiers who appeared "accidentally" appeared, and a black-robed soldier with a wedge-shaped pig burst array pierced the Lombard front at once, splitting the thirty or so Lombards into two parts, and then the black-robed soldiers also divided the left and right parts with the middle line of the pig burst formation as the axis, and fought for the Lombards.

The Lombards, who had lightly attacked the enemy, thought that they could crush the enemy with a slight formation, as they had just done in the camp, but they still paid a heavy price for their light enemy.

The outpost had been repaired for a month or two, and during this time there had been several skirmishes of waiwei, in which the outpost soldiers, who had been sufficiently energetic, poured out all the evil spirit and courage that had been accumulated for many days on the thirty or so Lombards.

Within a few moments, the Lombard soldiers, who were unable to support themselves, left behind a dozen corpses and fled in all directions......

Art didn't directly participate in the battle just now, he rode on his horse and followed the people of Gongnu's team to watch the battle, while quickly analyzing the situation on the battlefield.

Kazak and Ron had routed more than 30 Lombard enemy soldiers who were escorting firewood, and were killing several remnants of the wagon's ranks. And Angus also led the sentinels in a circle of twenty or so Lombards.

On the side of the Legion camp, Triduok had already organized the soldiers who had escaped the Lombard attack on the camp Tusha to extinguish the fire in the camp, and a soldier ran to Art's side to inform him that the brigade of the Lombard attack camp was blocking the team led by the Legion Adjutant at the west gate, so that Art could quickly reinforce him.

"Tell Tridok to send someone to dispose of this firewood, and not to let the Lombards bring it into the city."

The messenger was ordered to rush back to the camp.

"Ron, Kazak, give up the pursuit, and the soldiers will follow me to the West City for reinforcements." Art yelled at the two Kazakrons, who were about to pursue the remnants of the enemy.

"Jason, let Otto take Colin and Tuba to the West City, the Lombard army is fighting with our army in the West City!" Seeing that the gates of the northern city had been closed by the Lombards, Arte simply asked Odo to go for reinforcements.

Outside the western city of Solburg, the elite Lombard soldiers led by Von Billen have been in a stalemate with more than 200 soldiers led by the adjutant of the legion, although the two infantry cavalry of the eastern legion are mediocre, but the cavalry team left behind is indeed the elite of the legion, when the infantry frontal dragged the attack of the Lombards, the cavalry team was divided into two parts from the left and right flanks to continuously attack the Lombards, and the Lombards who had been sticking to the lonely city did not have a special cavalry team, and they were simply unable to resist the attack of the cavalry.

Fortunately, the plate armor heavy infantry around Feng Bilun was extraordinary, and the infantry of the two banner teams of the legion facing head-on had begun to rout......

Just when the Lombards had just gained the advantage on the battlefield, Art appeared at the corner of the western city with seventy or eighty men.

"My lord is not good, a black-robed army suddenly appeared outside the northern city, and the army we escorted firewood was wiped out, and now that group of black-robed soldiers has rushed towards our rear!" A Lombard officer approached von Bylon, who was in command, and reported the bad news to him.

Feng Bilun turned his head in shock, and sure enough, he saw a tightly arrayed black-robed army rushing towards their rear.

"TMD! Fooled, the enemy still has ambush soldiers!!" Feng Billen exclaimed.

Seeing that the success was lost, Feng Bilun shouted angrily: "Turn around in the rear and meet the enemy soldiers in the rear!"

He intends to fight the enemy to the death.

"My lord, no! We've failed, and now the best outcome is to break out with most of the elite. The officer stopped Von Bylun's impulse.

Feng Bilun looked at the front battle, and then looked at the black-robed enemy army who was only more than two hundred steps behind, and said hatefully: "Order, everyone breaks through to the southwest!!"

"My lord, the Lombards have abandoned their battle and fled! Ran to the southwest!! Angus shouted to Art, who was charging on horseback.

"Outpost, turn to the southwest, pursue the Lombards~" 11166 net
