At this moment, which can be called a desperate situation, the situation suddenly took a turn for the better.

I saw that the robbers surrounding the southwest suddenly had some confusion, and the shouting sound was not full of momentum, but had a more panicked color.

Some of the robbers turned their backs to Eugen and them, as if they were wary of something.

Eugen was very puzzled, but Viscount Liszt seized the opportunity, immediately ordered, and rushed directly to the southwest with everyone.

He didn't give up these two words in his dictionary, and now that he had encountered such a rare opportunity, Liszt couldn't help but have some hope in his heart.

There was still some distance between them and the bandits, and when they rushed to the vicinity of the bandits, they finally understood the reason for the bandits' riot.

In the southwest, a light cavalry unit rushed out, this force was huge, full of momentum, and seemed to be endless, as if it had thousands of troops.

It turned out that the feint force arranged by Eugen earlier attacked in, this force was more than 300 people, and at this moment they attacked the bandit army, and immediately showed strong killing power.

The feints had previously only circled around the bandits who had gone to defend them, occasionally firing a few arrows with their bows and arrows, and had not gone head-to-head.

However, the bandit defenders gradually weakened as the bandit defenders withdrew, which gave them an opportunity.

After several evacuations, only 200 of the robbers who remained in the southwest mountain road to intercept the feint attack force remained, and with 300 light cavalry, it was easy to win against the bandits gathered by 200 rabble.

Eugen had given the team to a well-known captain to manage, and they were given the task of feints and cover, and if the captain was too old-fashioned, it might have been possible to confront the two hundred bandits until Eugen had killed them all.

Fortunately, he did not stick to the rules, and when he saw the opportunity, he directly launched an attack, scattered the two hundred robbers, and then killed them into the valley.

As soon as they entered the valley, they could naturally see the besieged Eugen and the others, and hurriedly rushed over to rescue.

There were only 300 bandits standing in the way of Eugen and the feints, and they could not hold out in the face of a two-sided attack, and they were quickly dispersed, and the robbers fled on both sides.

The feints rushed in from the middle, defended Eugen and them, and then turned a corner, and the whole force rushed backwards and rescued Eugen and them from the encirclement.

The large army of robbers in the rear only ate some ashes behind the hussars, and without even touching their shadows, they were escaped by Eugen and them.

When the rescue arrived, Liszt couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh three times, shouting words like God bless.

The other soldiers also showed excited expressions, and their fighting spirit rose again, no one was afraid of death, they just hid this emotion before, and in this moment of the rest of their lives, they could finally release it to their heart's content.

Eugen was also so excited that he was about to cry, but in addition to being excited, he also paid extra attention to the captain who led the team to rescue them.

A mature face with oriental characteristics, he looks about thirty years old, and he can sit in the captain's position at such a young age, obviously there are some real materials.

In addition, he was saved by him this time, no matter from which point of view, Eugen should be grateful to this captain.

Thinking about the awkward situation of having no one around him, Eugen thought that it might be necessary to talk to the captain, and if possible, it would be better to have him under his command.

Horses galloped through the mountains, and more than 300 light cavalry rushed through the southwest mountain road, and at this point, they were finally out of the bandits' lair.

Until now, Eugen was in a trance, and the things he realized under the life and death crisis were still in his heart, coupled with some of Katerina's actions, which made him a little confused and his thoughts were erratic.

In this operation, Caterina and the Count's two sons were rescued, and the biggest mission goal was successfully achieved.

Then there was the battle loss ratio, the losses of Eugen's team, plus the number of dead during the forced attack of the feint troops, the total number was about two hundred, and the number of dead on the bandit side was close to three hundred.

From a literal point of view, this battle loss ratio is still acceptable, and if you are shameless, you can even say that you have won a battle.

However, Eugen knew very well that this was a failed battle, and the biggest problem was the failure of his own plan, coupled with the abandonment of some soldiers, which eventually led to such a tragic situation.

Fortunately, the most important nobles were saved, in this era, the lives of nobles are equal to a hundred or a thousand for ordinary people, as long as Caterina and them are okay, even if the other soldiers are all dead, it will be no problem.

If this matter is put on other generals, the past will be over, and there will be no regrets, just like no one else has the intention of blaming Eugen, as long as the final result can be seen.

Eugen, however, could not convince himself, knowing in his heart that this was a major defeat for him, and even a disgrace.

For this kind of thing, only by keeping it in mind, constantly reviewing to find one's own mistakes, and then correcting it, can we avoid similar incidents in the future.

And Eugen did exactly that.

As the sky darkened, some snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and the vanguard of a blizzard had reached the ground.

At this time, Eugen and the others have left the Robber Valley for dozens of miles, this distance is relatively safe, the blizzard is coming, if they continue to hurry, there is likely to be some unexpected trouble.

It happened that they had passed by a cliff and found a large open cave, so Eugen ordered everyone to take shelter from the snow and wait until the snow had stopped.

They were in a hurry and did not carry tents or other supplies, but everyone carried a few days' worth of rations, and it was okay to stay here for a while.

The entrance to the cave was very open, the size of an open-air swimming pool, and a small river with frozen surface flowed in front of the cave and spread into the distance.

The space inside the cave was slightly reduced, but it was large enough to accommodate the three hundred light cavalry, and they tied their horses to the entrance of the cave to protect them from the wind and snow, and the crowd gathered in the cave and lit several bonfires with wood.

The further inward the cave became, the narrower it became, and there were many smaller passageways that spread into the belly of the mountain.

There are also some breaches in a radius of several meters in this passageway, like small natural rooms, the environment inside is very dry, warmer than outside, but no light shines in.
