Chapter 40, People Have Hope (Ask for Collection~!!)
was constantly besieged and intercepted, and the road to escape was very difficult, and after running for three days, the people who ran wildly still could not leave the imperial territory.
The encirclement of the garrison and the Lannister army is shrinking.
Probably tomorrow evening, they will be surrounded by water, the emperor will not be able to escape death, and the prime minister will not be able to escape the crime of plotting against the king.
The remaining soldiers of the Third Army will be buried in the wilderness along with Legion Jack Claudie.
Ryan, Varian, Arthur, Hainly Kay, Maria Arnold, Liana Elizabeth, and Ayshara Vishui are no exception.
Nobody wants to die!
Maria Arnold had a Legion Elder father, and Liana Elizabeth had a family to rely on.
As a branch of the House of Windsor, loyal to the Tyrells, the Elizabethan family had a number of business successes.
There was no legion to answer, so they sent ships to try to rescue them from the sea, so they knew that someone had come back to save them, and Liana and Aishara were not nervous.
But they can't guarantee that the ship will arrive in time...
"You can't run like this anymore. ”
Jack had no choice but to give the order to stop the few remaining and exhausted soldiers.
Varian frowned, "My lord, the Lannister's army is only half a day's journey away from us, and we can't stop. ”
Jack snorted coldly: "I have my own decision, it's not your turn to talk too much, hurry up and rest." ”
After all, Jack Claudie is one of the youngest army commanders in the Empire, and he has been promoted by his military exploits in quelling the Greyjoy rebellion, and his ability is undoubted, even if he pays a heavy price to break through the Dragon Gate, he can save the emperor and prime minister who are under siege, and will not give wrong orders.
In doing so, Varian could guess that he wanted to take a desperate gamble and fight the pursuers!
But he was the commander of the Third Army, and he was only a non-commissioned officer of the small First Step, and Varian could give an opinion, but he was not qualified to object.
"Captain Jack wants to break through?"
Back to the carriage, Ryan immediately asked his brother.
Varian nodded, "Are you rested?"
"Can you say no?" Ryan's body was full of wounds, the bleeding stopped, there was no infection, but there was no scab, but a warrior was a warrior, and it was impossible for a battle to accommodate him.
Varian looked at Arthur in a daze, "How are you?"
Arthur forced a smile and said, "It's okay." ”
"Arthur, if I break through later, I will be entangled by the enemy and I will not be able to escape, I hope you can take my mother and Aunt Liana to escape to the sea. Varian said as he looked at him.
"The Elizabeth family has a ship, Aunt Liana has contacted them, and we will try to hold off the enemy and get you on board. ”
Ryan frowned when he heard this, and asked in a deep voice, "Does Captain Jack know?"
"Yes. Varian said, "Aunt Liana said. ”
Ryan: "Alright, hopefully we can tow the boat." ”
The Lannisters then dispatched 3,000 troops, combined with the first 1,000 troops, and the garrison from King's Landing, forming a huge encirclement, and shrinking could wipe them out!
Because I saw that.
Jack Crowdy, who had been spinning, had to stop.
Watch the Lannister soldiers in red cloaks, armed with spears, large shields, and swords approaching the enemy step by step.
All the people who had gathered up the hill had solemn faces.
The unconscious Emperor, the Prime Minister, and the Captain of the Kingsguard were all lifted on their horses and tied to the horsemen, and Maria Arnold, Liana Elizabeth, and Azara, the powerless noblewomen, mounted their horses and prepared to break out of the siege with the others.
Looking up at the night sky, Arthur inexplicably felt that the moonlight was a little cool.
Seeing this, Hein Likai next to him said coldly: "Don't look around, concentrate on it, war is not a joke, it will kill people." ”
Anne shook her head and sighed, "Heinlikai, you can actually be kind to him." ”
Hine Leekay rolled her eyes suddenly: "I know you want to match me with him, but it's impossible." ”
Hearing her words, Arthur suddenly cried and laughed: "Annie, do you think I have such a need?"
Azara, who was protected in the middle like the three of them, coughed lightly when she heard this, and said, "It seems that we shouldn't talk about this now. ”
"Don't be so nervous, we'll leave the Imperial Territory alive. Henry said.
"It's coming!"
"Give me a straight spear!"
As the red-cloaked Lannister soldiers get closer, Jack Claudie swings his sword and leads the way on horseback!
There were less than fifty men left in the Third Legion, plus the thirty elite First Legions led by Varian, and less than a hundred people could not form a torrent of steel.
But it's a desperate charge!
Without the power of transcendent sanctification, ordinary people are pitifully small in war.
Poor riding.
Gallop with a rope tied to a horse.
The enemy is getting closer and closer, the spears are like forests, the shields are like walls, and the swords are cold.
The hooves of the galloping horses thundered, carried the wind, and were as fast as phantoms, carrying the warriors with deadly steel on their backs and plunging headlong into the guns of the Lannister soldiers!
The shaft of the spear is broken, and the wall of the shield is opened.
Some sharp spear tips pierced the body of the warhorse, or stabbed the body of the warrior!
One by one, one by one, there are friends and foes!
Having never seen such a scene, Arthur, who had killed people, was still cold in his hands and feet, looking at the enemy in front of him who was about to raise his spear to stab at him, he instinctively waved the spear in his hand as a tassel spear and pushed it away, and then withdrew it and sent it away.
The horse was still running, unabated, trying to seal his throat with the blade of his spear, but he plunged his spear into the enemy's chest and broke through the breastplate, but he was not strong enough to shake the man off.
The spear finally came out of his hand!
"Draw your sword!"
Arthur was stunned when he lost his weapon in the charge, and swung his sword to block a few spears that tried to kill him, and Anne hurriedly shouted when he saw this.
Shocked into a cold sweat!
Although he was protected by the soldiers in the middle, he was not safe in the enemy position!
Under the horse's hooves, where the torches do not shine, there is a corpse, invisible but can smell the rich sweetness of blood!
"Don't be stupid, kill the enemy you see!" This stupid man didn't even make any action when he drew his sword, and Heinly immediately roared.
There are fewer and fewer of their own people rushing to kill in front.
If you don't kill people, the war horse will definitely stop, and then you will definitely die!
Not wanting to die, Arthur could only grit his teeth and swing his sword to attack every Lannister soldier who appeared in front of him!
Running.
Following the likes of Jack Claudie, Ryan and Varian, who are the pinnacles, Arthur, covered in blood, suddenly finds that they are going in circles!
Didn't break through the enemy line at all, and was still surrounded by the Lannisters!
At this point, it's even more U-turn!
"Don't slow down!" Seeing that Arthur's horse slowed down, Anne immediately cut off the horse's tail, causing the horse to gallop again.
Soon the enemy was thrown to the rear and disappeared.
Ahead, there was a faint sound of waves.
Ninety percent of the soldiers who died, still failed to break through, and Arthur knew very well that they had reached a dead end.
Is there no way but to wait for death by the sea?
Can prayer bring miracles?
Is it all because my strength is too weak, so there is such a dead end?
"White*|idiot, don't be stunned!" Heinlikai next to him threw a scabbard at him, making the distracted Arthur sober up again, "We can live!"
"The ship of the Elizabethan family is here!"
"Where?" Arthur was overjoyed when he heard this, but he saw nothing in the dark sea ahead of him, with occasional small areas glowing with moonlight.
Hai Yin Li Kai said: "I won't lie to you when I say it, I'm ready to dismount!"
