Chapter 131: Three Forks
From Shushan Town, along the highway to the north for more than 100 kilometers, there is a three-way intersection, here is the Beishan Pass. The road to the north of the Pen & Fun www.biquge.info Pavilion leads to the northern end of the Eastern Kingdom, where the deserted Stratholme is, and the path to the west leads to the north of Stormgard and the town of Southsea.
In the early morning of the next day, a blue crow followed the road to the North Mountain Pass, and after circling, it flew directly to the west without stopping. Today, the Beishan Pass has been completely blocked by a barracks, and the cavalry guarding it patrols non-stop to drive away approaching merchants.
This crow is none other than Blue Feather, going to the north to find Cheng Xiaotian who is leading the team to fight behind enemy lines.
As soon as Lan Yu left, a black horse ran over from the north, and immediately rode a thin and withered man, who was rushing to find Cheng Xiaotian's Rosen-Xavier. In fact, he should have arrived a long time ago, and the reason why he has been delayed until now is only because he is lost......
The kind of ghost who has participated in the Arashi Basin Rebellion will not believe it, in fact, the farthest place he has been to is 50 kilometers west of the village, and it is very good to be able to find this place alone.
Coming to the North Mountain Pass, Lawson breathed a sigh of relief, there is a road behind it, this can't go wrong again, right? Excited, he rushed to the camp of the Alliance Army at the Beishan Pass, shouting all the way: "I want to find Lord Cheng Xiaotian, I want to find your lord, I brought important information, take me to see him!"
He was illiterate, and he couldn't distinguish friend from foe, so he used this place as a military camp in the Arathi Basin, so Lord Rosen, who rode into the camp alone, was tragically captured......
Ten minutes later, there was a lot of cheering in the coalition camp, and then Black Cloud rushed out of the camp alone and ran to the way it came. Behind it, a large group of miscellaneous soldiers rushed out of the camp to chase after it, but the black cloud was as fast as an arrow from the string, and it disappeared at the end of the sky in a short time.
At the same time, more than 100 kilometers west of the Beishan Pass, a large army was marching westward, all of them light cavalry, composed of a mixture of melee and leather armor ranged troops in chain mail.
This army is the Eastern Army, known as the backbone of Stormwind City. They formed an army during the First Orc War, consisting mainly of humans, mixed with a small number of dwarves, and achieved great success.
In the aftermath of the Orc Wars, they were stationed in the Cursed Lands as defenders, guarding the dark gates that connected the orc's hometown of Draenor, day and night, and battling the otherworldly demons that inhabited the Cursed Lands. This legion is known for fighting good and fighting evil battles, and in terms of the legion's combat capabilities, they are still above the Knights of Light.
This time, Stormwind raised troops in the north, and in order to fight against the strong cavalry here, he had no choice but to bring all the Eastern Legions over. The task of guarding the Dark Gate was temporarily entrusted to the Southern Legion, but the Southern Legion was all infantry, and its movement was slow, and the change of defense had not yet been completed.
In front of them, another fork in the road appeared, leading to the hinterland of Stormgard on the left, and a short distance to the right was the town of Nanhai in the vassal kingdom of Kultiras. This road passes through a large forest, the air is fresh and the scenery is pleasant, and there is no resistance at all, and the Eastern Legion walks very comfortably all the way.
According to the plan, they will camp at the intersection in front, wait for the Northern Legion to come to the rear and join forces, and then push all the way north around Nanhai Town, and put the entire northern land under the control of Stormwind.
This was not a difficult task, and in the eyes of Commander Menotti, it was just a formality, not much different from official travel. There is no longer a strong government in the north, and as for the displaced people and the rebels, there will be no threat to their own legions.
It is said that there is also a small detachment of the Arathi Basin Revenge Legion active there, which should be considered the only regular army, but they seem to be only a few hundred people, and there is nothing to fear.
Thinking of this, Menotti glanced back at his army, waving his banner and waving her freshly clothed and angry horses.
"Hmm." Menotti nodded in satisfaction, and looked at the road ahead, but at this glance, he actually found the enemy's trace.
The vanguard of the army had already driven out of the forest, and in front of it was a gently sloping hilly terrain, and just as Menotti turned back, a soldier on a red horse climbed to the top of a small mound not far ahead. The soldier was dressed in a short fight, a blue suit, and carried a longbow and a sword crossed behind him.
"Shushan Revenge Army!" Menotti was stunned for a moment, subconsciously raised her right hand, and the army stopped.
In the next second, the avenging legionary soldier also spotted the mighty army on this road, and immediately pulled the reins, and the warhorse man stood up, and "Herod" neighed and turned, turned around and ran down the dirt slope.
Menotti came back to his senses and immediately ordered: "The first brigade follows the enemy scouts and looks for the enemy's main force, and the second brigade maneuvers 50 kilometers west to block the enemy's way to the north." ”
As soon as the order was given, the rear team immediately rushed out of two columns, all the way south to catch up with the avenger scout just now. The other way bypassed the right side of the striker and galloped due west.
After the two legions attacked separately, Menotti thought that he was not at ease, and sent two more brigades of cavalry to the south, and then continued to lead the army. Now that there are nearly 1,000 troops in the south, even if they are still unable to defeat the enemy, there is no problem in protecting themselves.
After the 1st Brigade of the Eastern Army broke away from its headquarters, it began to pursue it southward, and since there was only one enemy found, they did not care about the formation, they scrambled to be the first, and soon ran into a line. However, it was useless, the scout was obviously faster than them, and they saw a blue figure flying up and down on the rolling hills like waves in front of them, and the speed was amazing, and the distance was getting bigger and bigger.
This time the captain of the leader is on fire, their task is not to kill the enemy, but to follow the scouts to find the enemy's large army, but look at this posture, or it will be completely thrown off in a few kilometers.
"You! And you! Throw away all the weight and keep up at full speed! The squad leader yelled at the two fast riders, who immediately began to accelerate desperately, discarding their dry food and equipment along the way, and finally left far behind, but they were getting farther and farther away from their troops.
After another period of pursuit, he looked back and saw that the large army was gone, and at this moment, the scout of the avenging army in front of him circled and stopped. They had abandoned all their weapons and equipment, and could not fight, so they had to quickly pull the reins and stop.
Now the three people on each side are on the top of a hill, far away from each other.
----
Sebastian has always thought that he was not very lucky, but it certainly does not include today, today he was lucky to find an army of enemies that suddenly appeared! Chief Arya is leading the militia forces behind, and if there is no warning, they will inevitably crash into it and be crushed.
Taking the messenger bird out of his satchel and letting it go, he took the reins and launched a counter-charge towards the two horsemen. Since he could not get rid of it, he must not lead his enemy to the large army.
Directly opposite, the two enemy soldiers saw Sebastian rushing towards him, and without saying a word, they turned around and ran. The two sides suddenly lost their positions and ran back along the same path.
After a while, the brigade of the Eastern Legion arrived, and after a few steps of Sebastian chased after him, he took the reins to the right and ran towards the great forest with the enemy's advance. The Eastern Legion that was chasing after this time was suddenly dumbfounded, the intention had been seen through, what should I do next?
"You take your own men to capture him, and the others scatter their formation, sweep to the south, and find that the enemy's main force is not allowed to fight, and quickly report to the battalion." The commander of the army immediately gave the order, and the formation immediately dispersed, running in different directions, and a team of about 30 people chased Sebastian into the forest.
After entering the Great Forest, there were towering giant trees everywhere, and there was no more way, Sebastian's speed advantage was immediately negated, and the two sides followed back and forth, launching a jungle pursuit.
He had an advantage in range, but he couldn't release arrows in the jungle, so he no longer had this advantage, and all he could do was run.
This chase lasted for two hours, and just as the horsepower of both sides was about to run out, something happened in the forest ahead. A rumbling horse's hooves crashed head-on, and in an instant, it approached.
Before they could react, a large group of cavalry roared and pounced, drowning the exhausted sides in an instant.
Sebastian was relieved to see the cavalrymen's attire, rolled over and dismounted, leaning against a tree to catch his breath. These cavalrymen were dressed in ordinary people's clothes, and they all had a blue cloth belt tied around their left arm, and it was the militia they gathered all the way that served as a reserve for the revenge army.
There were continuous screams from behind, and after the chasing Eastern Legion squad was drowned, before they could see the enemy clearly, they were attacked head-on, and they were all wiped out in a minute. After clearing the pursuers, the militia surrounded Sebastian, their eyes twinkling and stopping.
Sebastian finally took a breath and looked up blankly, only to find that all the people who had arrived were militiamen, and none of his fellow Avengers were gone.
"What about your sir?"
In the face of Sebastian's question, several small leaders bowed their heads and gathered around, one of them silently stretched out his hand to him, and in the palm of his hand, lay a folded square note. (To be continued.) )
