29. Chasers

The trebuchet parts, which had been neatly stacked in one corner of the camp, had now turned into a sea of fire, and the red flamelight lit up half of the night sky, and in this dark and quiet night sky, such brilliant colors naturally made this place the focus of attention for hundreds of miles.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Qatar's face was pale, a wisp of cold sweat slowly flowed down from the corner of his forehead, his lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something, but the voice was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't make any sound.

He was utterly hopeless.

Just ten minutes ago, he was still impressed by the city of Varosese, which was nearly fifty miles away, as if the rich and prosperous city was already in his Qatari pocket.

And the biggest reliance on his trip was only two points, one was to launch an attack by surprise when the defenders of Valoser City were unprepared, and with the quality of the opponent's city and the sparse number of armaments, it was easy for his side to capture that city.

And the second point, and the final point, is that these trebuchets can be assembled quickly and temporarily, even if it is his first point of reliance, it is also based on holding trebuchets, without an army of trebuchets, if you want to capture a city with closed gates and thick walls, it is simply equivalent to meat buns beating dogs, and there is no return to business!

The parts of the trebuchets were made of wood, and in order to ensure good use and prevent them from getting wet, when the Lawrence Army began to rest, a dry land was specially selected in this place with many streams to be stacked, so that once the fire broke out, it could not be extinguished for a while.

And for such an important, tooth-like trebuchet part of Lawrence's army, it was originally closely guarded by Qatar, but it was only because of the sudden attack of Johnson and others that the entire camp was in chaos, coupled with Qatar's anxious erroneous orders, so that the soldiers who did not know the true situation almost flocked to the narrow forest passage, so that the original number of guards here was reduced to less than 20!

At this time, the twenty well-equipped and well-trained guard soldiers had already turned into corpses at this time, and they fell to the perimeter of the fire, staring at their round eyes, helplessly becoming the foil of the fire.

"General, it happened too suddenly, my subordinates only saw that there were only two people, a man and a woman, and that woman's skills were very terrifying, almost all of our soldiers were killed in seconds, and my subordinates didn't have time to ...... at all."

At this time, a soldier was a little trembling to explain to Qatar, who had been silent, looking at the increasingly ugly face of his adult, Mu Lin, the leader of Qatar's guards, glared at the soldier fiercely, stopped his words, and then turned his head and asked, "General, we are ...... now What to do? Do you want to continue the assault on the city of Valosser? ”

"No need."

Hearing this, Qatar closed his eyes and replied in a hoarse voice, "...... Turn back and join forces with the army there to besiege and attack Fite City, maybe under the siege, we still have the possibility of capturing Fite City. ”…… may be able to barely save his own life.

The last sentence was said in his heart.

And at this time, he finally understood that the guys who suddenly appeared before and ran faster than rabbits were just to attract his own attention, and to give the people here a chance to attack these parts, and he, this general with a hundred nerves, actually fell for the other party so easily!

As soon as he thought of those brutes who had ruined his good deeds, the anger in Qatar's heart was uncontrollable, and he finally held back his grief and pulled the captain of his guard, and ordered: "Mu Lin, take your three hundred guards, go and arrest those two bastards for me, unlike the previous group of bastards, since they chose to prevent fire here, it is impossible to escape in the direction of Valoser City by crossing our army, they must still be in this forest at this moment!" ”

"Remember, I'm going to live! I will torture them with my own hands so that they can't survive, they can't die! ”

…………

Because of the explosive fighting and running, Nana's breath was a little short, at this time, she was leaning on a tree trunk a little tiredly, adjusting her state as much as possible, and in her hand, there was a blood-stained iron spear, which was brought out of the secret passage of Matt's house.

And Ash on the side, although he barely participated in the battle just now, was also too tired at the moment, and the desperate escape just now was still a bit of a burden on his body, which didn't usually exercise much.

Needless to say, the last thing Qatar relied on just now was her and Ash, who were sitting paralyzed not far away.

Although Rao was able to suffer minor injuries in the face of more than twenty well-armed Lawrence Imperial soldiers alone with her superb combat skills, these injuries that seemed insignificant to her could not overshadow the joy of saving thousands of civilians and preventing a catastrophe.

Nana, who had a happy face on her face, took out a bandage from her waist, put some medicine on it at random, and then carefully wrapped it around her abdomen, and just finished these movements, she casually glanced in the direction of Ash, but found that this guy actually looked even more tired than herself, and spread it directly on the ground like a dead pig, and couldn't help but shake her head funny, and said with some disdain:

"Are you imperial men so useless? I've been fighting and getting injured just now, okay? You're just setting a fire, okay! ”

Ash gasped for breath, and the tense and thrilling action just now also made him forget Nana's horror for a moment, and replied unceremoniously: "Don't compare me with a wild man like you, is there any comparison between humans and orangutans?" ”

"You bastard......"

Hearing this, Nana scolded angrily, and almost couldn't help but pounce and beat that guy for not being able to take care of himself.

It was just thinking that this guy had just helped her complete that big thing, and she hadn't reached a safe place yet, so she couldn't resist the impulse in her heart.

"If you say that you are weak, you are not convinced, but you can say it with a bare mouth! You wait, I'm not good here, and I'll clean you up after I get out! ”

"Hehe, after you go out, let's pay the payment first! Master Ben, I have taken a big risk this time, and I don't know what happened to those subordinates. ”

The two teased a few more words before the scene fell silent again.

It's not that these two people will feel embarrassed to stay together, but they both know that they have just lit an evil fire, and the other party's people are likely to chase after them, so they just hurry up and recharge their energy.

Nana adjusted quickly, and after a while, she felt that her breathing had completely calmed down, and she wanted to get up and leave immediately, but saw that Ash was still half-dead, so she scolded 'big waste wood', and then patiently listened vigilantly to the wind and grass around her, while waiting quietly.

To be honest, after getting along for the past few days, in Nana's heart, Ash is actually not so useless.

At least the other party can think of secretly sending Johnson and them to make traps, and then raid to create chaos to attract the enemy's attention, and then set fire to the other party's trebuchet parts, so as to achieve a series of 'tooth extraction' actions to warn the city of Valoser and destroy the enemy's siege equipment......

Although this is based on the fact that this bastard cheated himself for 100,000 gold coins, and in order to prevent him from changing his mind, he forcibly pulled him to act with him.

And to be honest, this guy is really good-looking, much stronger than those stinky men in the clan, well, I'm also at the age of finding a mother-in-law, if I look for a husband, I will definitely find someone of the same type as this guy......

Once people relax, they will inevitably think about something, but as soon as this idea came out, Nana secretly spat herself, as if she had done something terrible, and once again recounted Ash's shortcomings in her heart:

"But that's all there is to it! This guy is not only selfish, cold-blooded, greedy for money, poisonous tongue, cunning, but also indiscriminate! It's not a good thing! ”

Thinking so silently, after a while, Nana saw that Ash actually had a tendency to fall asleep, so she hurriedly stepped forward and kicked him lightly, scolding: "You heartless bastard!" I just praised you for being very cunning, this is stupid, do you still want to spend the night here? The Lawrence Army may be chasing after them soon! ”

"What? Praise me? When did you praise me? ”

In fact, Ash, who was already halfway asleep, was kicked by her like this, and immediately woke up, and said blankly: "And do you have any culture?" Is cunning used to boast? ”

Hearing this, Nana's face was hot, she naturally couldn't tell the other party what she was thinking about just now, just wanted to find someone to train this guy a few words, and change the topic, when she heard an extremely subtle sound in the distance, and her muscles couldn't help but tense!

"Someone's coming!"

I saw Nana instantly put away her previous relaxed expression, bent down suddenly, lifted the blood-stained spear, and at the same time grabbed Ash's collar and lifted him from the ground like a chicken.

Nana's action made Ash very helpless, but at this time he didn't have time to be depressed about this kind of thing, looking up, and sure enough, he vaguely saw countless black shadows surging in the distance, under the illumination of a little moonlight, reflecting a faint sea blue luster, the cover of this point of light is extremely wide, as if he is doing a carpet search, and the number of people is definitely not less than hundreds!

Sure enough, it's a soldier of the Lawrence Empire!

"How so?"

Seeing this, Ash was slightly stunned.

In his expectation, the other party was ignited because of the trebuchet, causing such a big movement, and it was inevitable that the defenders of Valoser City would find the movement, so the Lawrence Emperor ** team, which had no surprise effect and lost the siege weapon, no matter how you look at it, there is no possibility of capturing Valoser City, and the wisest choice at this time should be to immediately follow the path you came from and avoid being surrounded by the army of the Verthus Empire!

But in that case, how could the other party's pursuers appear here?

Even if the leader of the other party has a great hatred for himself, he will not be able to leave the lives of these soldiers behind, right? Didn't the other party want to think about it, even if these soldiers successfully pursued him, if Verte's army arrived, this group of soldiers would not be able to escape?

Ash looked at the direction of the pursuers in a daze, full of questions, but Nana on the side was the first to react, grabbed his collar, and directly dragged him to turn around and run!

"Bastard! Waste wood! It's all you, wasting so much time, and now it's troublesome! ”

Nana scolded in a low voice as she ran, but Ash had deep doubts about her IQ, and she only felt that it had reached a touching level...... What a stupid cry!

In fact, he is not to blame, after all, it is because he does not know that Fitt City is being attacked.

If the Lawrence army that entered the empire at this time was only Qatar, Ash's guess was correct, even if that guy hated him ten times more, he would immediately turn around and leave, not daring to send another pursuer, and lose manpower in vain for the sake of a momentary spirit.

It's just that since it is already known that his own men and horses are attacking Fite City, there will be no reinforcements coming over there at all, and Qatar will naturally not run back so disgraced in order to atone for its crimes, so it will turn around and go directly to Fite City, so can you talk about whether you care about the loss of these pursuers?

In the eyes of the other party, anyway, the direction of the pursuers and the large army is not too far away, and the side of Fit City is full of their own people, even if they are separated for a while, what risk is there at all
