Chapter 150: Six Allies
After seeing the Palchi flag, Bai Basbahn's heart was half relieved, and if reinforcements could appear at this time, then no matter how large the support army was, it would be the most powerful support for his own soldiers; However, Baibasbahn had another concern, that is, the Palci army must have also arrived on the battlefield after a long journey, and it was still unknown whether they would be able to withstand the attack of the Knights of the Holy Hammer.
A few minutes later, Basbarn knew that he had been wrong, that the Palchi cavalry had numbered three thousand men, and that their combat strength was impressive, especially since the way this cavalry fought was very similar to the regular cavalry of Paz's army, and even better. In particular, the commander who led this cavalry surprised Basbahn, a brave man dressed in a Paz robe over his armor, wielding two swords in his hands, and constantly slashing the enemy under his horse with his fiery sword technique like the sun, which reminded him of the heroic images of the Paz emperors in the past.
Encouraged by the Parci army, the Paz army also summoned up the courage to launch a counterattack, and under the pressure of the two armies, the Knights of the Holy Hammer could not support it even if they were strong, and they turned their horses and began to retreat when they saw that the situation was not good.
After driving out the Frankish army, the Palch army did not pursue deeply, and the two armies were not in the same place. The Pegasus of Bahbais came to the Palci army, gave a Paz military salute on the horse, and said: "In the lower Babasbarn, thank you for the timely help of the Palchi allies, I wonder which general gave me the honor to meet?" ”
The general, dressed in the robes of Pas, rode his horse to the horse of Baibasbarn, and it was only then that Baibasbahn could see the man's appearance, which was in his thirties, with a slender figure, curly brown hair, fair skin, blue eyes like a lake, and a neat mustache on his mouth that accentuated his handsome appearance. If the other party is not a general of Palci, then Baibasbahn must suspect that this is the son of a prince and nobleman of Paz. This man also responded with the courtesy of Paz, and said in Paz language: "In Lower Müller, I have seen the world-famous general Lord Basbarne." ”
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness's favorite general, Count Muller, and I am fortunate to meet him." Bai Basbar smiled: "I have long heard that Lord Muller is also a Paz clan, what a pity, Paz missed a 10,000 cavalry commander, but because of this, Palch has an additional cavalry general." ”
Muller bowed slightly on his horse and said, "Your Excellency made fun of me." Zai Xia is just a retainer of His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness Prince Meng has been promoted to a high position that does not match his own ability. This is not the place to speak, please retreat south immediately with your lordship, Lord Senas has something important to discuss with your lordship. ”
"Oh? But the Frank army is still on the left??????"
Muller said: "Your Excellency, don't worry, Lord Senas has already sent a three-way army to meet him, and now he should have set up a formation waiting for the Frank army to throw himself into the net, and your Excellency can just go south with him." ”
"In that case, it's better to be respectful than to obey." Babbasbahn saluted again. Saying this, Bai Basbahn knew in his heart that the lifeline of his 200,000 army was now in the hands of the Palchi army, and if there was no life-saving food for Palci, he was afraid that he would only have the share of the entire army, and even his son Nasakis fell into the hands of others, and now he had to obey the arrangements of others.
The army retreated all the way south, and Muller's march was very decent, obviously taking care of the speed of the already exhausted Paz army, and every once in a while he would slow down to allow the Pass army to get a short rest. Fortunately, the Frank army did not continue to pursue, and the two mixed cavalry units walked like this all day. At this time, he had already marched to the northern foot of the Dinara Mountains, and Bai Basbahn looked back and forth, left and right, and suddenly said to Muller: "Lord Senas is really clever, and has set up an ambush here, it seems that if the Frankish army dares to continue to advance south, it will definitely suffer a bad loss here." ”
Muller smiled humbly: "Your Excellency, you are really powerful, just by looking at it, you can detect the ambush set by our army, which makes your majesty admire it very much." ”
"Now I am a defeated general, and I can't be brave." Babbasbar laughed to himself.
"Your Excellency's words are serious. The so-called transformation of victory and defeat is just a thought. My lord, if you want to defeat the Frank army, it is only the difference between the bread of the hundred days. This little favor is a matter of great help to our country. Mueller said softly.
Hearing the deep meaning of Müller's words, Basbarne said, "Could it be that Lord Senas intends to let our army attack Frank from the sea?" ”
Mueller hurriedly shook his head and smiled: "This is not something that can be explained to adults in the future. Fang Cai is in the next gaffe, please don't take it to heart, when you see Lord Senas, you will naturally know. ”
Seeing that Mueller said this, it was naturally difficult for Basbahn to ask any further questions. However, as Müller said just now, it is obvious that he deliberately wanted to reveal a rumor to himself, that is, Palci intends to help him defeat Frank and capture the Frank Holy See. It's just that Babas Barn doesn't understand what the other party's intentions are in doing this. If Palch wants to retaliate against Frank because he rashly attacked Palch, then the capture of the Holy See is obviously what Palch wants to see, and as far as the current strategic situation is concerned, it is the best plan to let his Paz army collapse for thousands of miles, let Frank's army chase after him, and then Palch takes advantage of the situation to take the Holy See directly. This kills two birds with one stone, destroying both Frank and Paz. But they had to give up this low-hanging fruit, and instead carry the burden of feeding the army of 200,000 Paz, and then they had to put the results of the seizure of the Holy See into their own hands, which had no real benefit in Palci.
While he was thinking about it, Müller spoke: "My lord, twenty miles further is the camp of Lord Senas, where you and your brothers Paz can have a good drink of wine and eat some decent food tonight, and then sleep well. ”
"Thank you." Baibasbar replied briefly. No matter what the other side may try, with the other side having the upper hand in all respects, it is conceivable that when Palci proposes the corresponding quid pro quo, he will not have much bargaining capital. With that mindset he was able to ride forward, he continued to ride forward.
After nearly twenty miles, a series of camps appeared in front of Baibasbarn's eyes.
Unexpectedly, a considerable part of the camp was flying the flag of the Paz Army, and it was clear that many of the troops who had retreated had stayed here. And at the gate of the camp, a welcoming procession was waiting there, led by his own captain of ten thousand horses, Biludas.
