Chapter 20: The Battle of the Gray Valley (3)
The blazing fire illuminates the sky.
In a secluded valley, an army lurks.
A handful of bandits skilled in night battles, an army of 2,000 well-armed Shanyue people, and 200 orcs.
"Hopefully, as the lord said, the earl will really send troops in pursuit. Helik whispered.
The night in the wilderness was cold, and the cold wind blew across his cheeks like a knife.
With a sigh in his hand, Helik couldn't help but sneer.
This lord is too cautious, that earl has just suffered a great defeat and lost thousands of men, how can he come again?
Crazy or dead?
"Silence. ”
A tall orc beside him gestured with his finger to his lips and made a few vocal gestures.
Thick fingers pointed ahead.
A mass of black shadows that move forward and undulate.
There was the sound of horses' hooves and the march of a massive army.
Helick couldn't help but swallow.
I'm a mother, this count is really a madman.
......
Eugene clenched the hammer and suppressed the depression and anger in his heart.
There is only one chance to atone for his sins, and if he can't save face, even if he has had a love affair with the Grand Duke for many years, he will inevitably be dethroned.
Pulling the reins from his hand, he carefully recalled Hubert's words.
If the lord had fought all night, he would have led the army to ambush him in person when he withdrew.
Ambush, and then defeat.
Be sure to act like something, Eugene glanced at the sergeant behind him, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The army marched rapidly, only to be defeated, and many soldiers had not yet recovered from their emotions.
After a stretch of valley, the army suddenly became noisy.
Eugene gripped the reins and looked into the darkness.
"It did. ”
It seems that he lost the previous battle, but even if he loses first, the Kilberd army still has an absolute advantage.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
In the darkness, a shout of killing sounded.
Countless figures rushed out with cold-glowing weapons and pounced on Eugene's army.
The soldiers intersected, and the blood was scattered.
"Let me meet you!"
Eugene let out a loud shout and rushed into the enemy line with unparalleled bravery.
Only a small number of Kilberd's troops formed a formation and began to resist, and the fighting between the infantry was already a flesh millstone, and the fight was that the side fell first.
And whether it is the Shanyue people or the orcs, their spirit is better than that of the soldiers under the command of Eugene.
The formation was in chaos, and defeat was a foregone conclusion.
Eugene was not in love, and angrily slapped an orc away, and shouted loudly: "Withdraw!
After saying that, he took the lead in turning the horse away.
The Kilber army left nearly a thousand corpses behind and fled in disarray.
"Your Excellency, Lord Lord, is like a god!" Helik wiped his face and climbed up a hill in three steps and two steps.
Rhodes looked at the battlefield and breathed a sigh of relief.
After this fight, it should be able to buy Olmers a lot of time.
But there was no sense of ease in Rhodes' heart, his enemy was not only the earl in front of him.
Even if he wiped out all the troops that the earl had brought with him, with the strength of Kilberd's command, with such a solid rear, they would be able to recover the strength to fight again in a short time.
"Helik, you lead the bandits to break off. ”
"Inform them to withdraw their troops quickly, there is no danger in this wilderness, and quickly retreat to the Greystone Valley to garrison, this battle is only the beginning, and there is still to be fighting. ”
The Shanyue and the orcs soon left again in their army, this time with much lighter atmosphere.
The two big victories have built up a lot of confidence for everyone.
......
In the distance, a cavalry force was ready to go.
Four thousand cavalry, all the highly mobile forces in the hands of the Earl of Kilburn.
Eugene is covered with armor, and his strong body gives people a great sense of oppression.
This cavalry army is the pursuer after the pursuer.
This time, he's going to kill the demon descendant!
"The whole army has an order, attack at full speed!"
"Shame on me!"
Eugene shouted, and all the knights raised their hands and cheered.
In this battle, everyone held a breath of evil in their hearts.
Four thousand light riders, set off quickly, and the smoke and dust were overwhelming.
"Haha, you cowards! Earl Kilburn was afraid when he called, why are they so straight now?" said Helik with a smile on the back of a colleague next to him.
"It seems that this demon lord is really not in vain, I am convinced anyway. The knight next to him said with a smile, took off the wine bag, and poured a sip of wine.
The task of these bandit armies is to be in charge of the rear.
After two defeats, the count's army was probably crawling there licking its wounds, and the atmosphere of the group was extremely relaxed.
"No, no!"
"Chasers, chasers again!"
In the distance, a scout rode up at a gallop, his tone terrified.
The group looked sharply in the direction from which the knight came, the loess dust was filled, and the sound of horses' hooves was even more terrifying.
"What a fucking mad dog!"
"Quick, report to the lord quickly, you follow me to meet the enemy!"
Helik's first reaction was to run, but where could he run in this barren place?
Before the bandits could regroup, the troops led by Eugene had already reached the front of the battle.
"Thief, ......"
Helik drew his saber and shouted at one of the leading knights on the way, but he wasn't done.
A hammer directly used the force of the momentum to slam into his chest and abdomen.
There was a cracking sound, and Helik was knocked off his horse with a hammer, coughing up blood, and after struggling on the ground for a while, his legs couldn't move.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
A group of bandits were a rabble, and once they were killed, they scattered in all directions.
Leaving corpses all over the ground, Eugene did not stop and led the army up again.
Man Shan was leading the army to retreat, and the sound of horses' hooves rumbling behind him shook his heart.
"Assemble the army!"
"Formation!"
"Prepare for war!"
Under the loud shouts of the mountain, the Shanyue people quickly assembled.
They had seen the charge of the wolf cavalry, and it was much more terrifying than that.
Riding on the earthly dragon, Rod turned his head violently, his eyes solemn.
"After the pursuers, there are pursuers......"
It seemed that there was no shortage of capable men under the earl, and Rhodes already knew that this would be a big defeat.
"Occam, blow the trumpet order, let the mountain stay a thousand men and break it, and the rest of the people will retreat quickly. ”
Occam took the order and left.
Rod sat on the back of the Earth Dragon and slapped himself hard.
After two fierce battles in succession, his army was extremely tired.
He thought about turning around and fighting to the death with this pursuer.
But the earl couldn't afford to gamble.
"Quickly return to the Graystone Valley, let Luoyan be optimistic about the granary, if there is a changer, there will be no forgiveness!"
"Order the inhabitants of the valley to carry torches out of the valley and retreat close to the mountains. ”
Rod gave another order, and he jumped off the Earth Dragon, patting the Earth Dragon's huge head.
"Partner, I'm sorry. ”
Whispering in the ear of the Earth Dragon, the black-scaled Earth Dragon licked Rod's cheek and quickly ran into the darkness.
The place where the Earth Walking Dragon left was the direction where the pursuers were.
"Retreat with me. ”
Rod glanced at the few sergeants left around him and whispered.
