Chapter 186: Eugen Charging into Battle (8/102)
"I must be crazy!"
Along the way, Eugen kept scolding himself in his heart, he always felt that something must have gone wrong when he crossed, and he couldn't clear his mind.
"How can you take such an adventure for a girl, not to mention that I don't even know what that girl looks like, woo woo, Margaret, Maria, if I die, who will take care of you."
Eugen thought more and more sadly, that he had given up a forest for the sake of a crooked-necked tree, and a peach blossom forest.
"Oh my God! What the hell is wrong with me......" Eugen lamented weakly, he couldn't explain this kind of behavior that put himself in danger, according to his character, he should have stood on the outside and watched the whole situation, just watch the others enter the valley and fight.
It was a risky move to enter the valley himself, and it was against his original intention, not to mention that now he actually took on the most dangerous part of the mission, to go to the robber's den to save a woman, which is simply nine deaths.
"Alas...... That's it, the words have been spoken, and now there is no way, alas, it is my noble character that has harmed me. At this time, Eugen did not forget to shamelessly boast to himself, and then he retracted and focused on the battle that was about to break out in front of him.
No matter what you think in your heart, at least from the outside, Eugen at this moment looks like a real hero.
Walking slowly in the direction of the rising sun, Eugen finally led his party to a small hillside, where they had not been spotted by the robbers until now due to the attraction of the troops from the southwest.
Next, as long as they cross the hillside, they will face the robbers guarding the manor, and after a cursory observation just now, there are less than a hundred robbers guarding the manor, and they are scattered, so they have a good chance.
It's just that there is only one chance, and once the robbers react, what awaits them is the end of the whole team.
Eugen turned around and saw a hundred hussars following Eugen neatly, their faces were still a little young, the long sword had been drawn out of its scabbard and held in front of him, and the hand holding the long sword trembled slightly, I don't know if it was because of fear or because of the cold.
In the face of battle, there is always a fear of the mentality, which is human nature, and no one will avoid it.
However, as long as they follow Eugen, as long as Eugen gives the order to charge, these people can rush forward without any scruples, and fight with their blood, just to complete the task assigned by Eugen.
This is the soldier of the Empire, this is a knight, this is the army of the Sartre family, a steel fork of divine fire that will never be extinguished.
Eugen didn't speak, he just nodded to the soldier behind him, and then he looked firmly at it, and drew his longsword from his waist.
In silence, Eugen swung his sword at the hillside ahead, then began to charge at speed with his horse between his legs.
The same was true of the hundred cavalry behind him, without any sound of speaking, and the horses' hooves trampled on the ground like a fierce wind sweeping over the rocks, mixed with unstoppable fury and an unquenchable blizzard.
Prosperous... Prosperous... Prosperous...
The hussars followed Eugen and swooped down on the manor in front of them like a goshawk.
The gate at the front of the manor was open, and on either side there were two simple lookouts made of thick wood, surrounded by a fence, in which two robbers on each side were huddled to hide from the wind and snow blowing from the heights.
The robbers who lived in the manor never seemed to have thought about the possibility of being attacked, and there was no defense at the gate, and the robbers in charge of watching were almost unvigilant.
Of the few battles Eugen has ever faced, this one was arguably the most stupid and the most porous of the attacking lines, but it was also the most dangerous.
It is not too dangerous to go deep into the enemy camp with a force of 100 men, and at any time you may face an enemy ten times your size.
In fact, if Eugen brought enough provisions, he would prefer to have a face-to-face formal battle with these rabbles with the strength of 500 light cavalry, although there would be some costs, but in Eugen's opinion, the chance of victory would be more than seventy percent.
It's just that they came out too hastily this time, they didn't carry much supplies with them, and at the same time, they were very worried about the safety of Caterina and the others, so they had no choice but to make such a dangerous move.
The robber guards huddled inside the lookout were taking a nap, and the movement on the main road to the southwest did not wake him, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves gradually reached the ears of the robber guards from low to high like the opening of a grand movement.
"Huh?" The robber guard opened his eyes in a daze, reached out with one hand and grasped the fence of the lookout, and casually raised his head to look ahead.
In his sight, a large group of light cavalry rushed towards the manor like a silent grim reaper.
The robber guard's pupils dilated, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes, and he opened his mouth with a panicked face: "Enemy ......"
Sou!
As soon as the robber guard shouted a word, an arrow came to him like a viper through the opening of the lookout.
Poof! There was a dull thud of flesh, and the arrow pierced the bandit guard's head, and the cluster of arrows came out of the back of the head, covering the red and white slurry, and the tail feathers were still trembling slightly, showing the power of the arrow.
The corpse of the robber guard was carried backwards by the force attached to the arrow, and he fell to the ground with a thud, and was silent.
Each of these light cavalry under Eugen carried a bow and arrow, and after a long period of training, everyone was a marksman, but he was also a good bower.
At present, the first robber guards who found Eugen and the others were killed, and they did not even report the letter, but then one after another the robber guards got up from the lookout one after another, and the sound of horses' hooves alarmed them, and the sharp and piercing cries sounded in the robbers' lair.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The robbers' lair, which had been silent, immediately blew up, and people were shouting everywhere.
The light cavalry behind Eugen struck again, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded with a whoosh, and immediately several robbers fell, and the rest quickly retracted behind the guardrail, never daring to poke out again.
By this time, Eugen and the others had crossed the plain below the hillside and rushed to the gate of the manor, the open gate was like a maiden without any cover, for Eugen to demand.
"The first and second squads are coming with me, and the rest of the squads are scattered as squadrons to find Miss Caterina in the manor!"
As soon as he entered the manor, Eugen shouted out the order, and then rushed out first.
