Chapter 32: The Wolf Rushes

……

"I'm not running away! I haven't lost yet, why run away?! King James roared with blood-red eyes.

Marquis Cornell looked at his king with some helplessness, he knew that the other party was already in a hurry. However, he wouldn't have thrown the other party here anyway.

"Recognize reality, James! We've failed! Marquis Cornell said bitterly.

"What do you call me?" King James glared at Cornell angrily, his hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist.

Cornell glanced at the Praetorian Guards who were getting closer and closer, gritted his teeth, and shouted to King James's guards, "Why are you still standing stupidly? Take the king away! ”

The guards looked at each other, and with a heart, they swarmed up, set up their king, got out of the chariot, and placed him on the back of a war horse.

King James struggled and cursed loudly in the process, but the guards were outnumbered, and no one listened to him at this time, so it was all in vain.

"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you! James snarled menacingly.

Marquis Cornell sighed and stepped on a warhorse.

"Marquis, where are we going now?" The captain of the guard asked.

Without hesitation, the Marquis of Cornell pointed his horsewhip to the north and said, "To the north, cross the Anitan River and return home!" ”

The captain of the guard hesitated a little, "Marquis, can you go there?" "He is no ordinary soldier, and he is clear about any decision made by King James, and he has crossed the river without a ferry in his hand, and has penetrated hundreds of miles into enemy territory, and now it would be strange if the back road was not copied.

Marquis Cornell knew what he meant, "It's the fastest way for us to return home, if we can get through, it's the best, if we can't, let's go up the river and take refuge in the Alterac Kingdom!" ”

"For now, that's the only way to go!" The captain of the guard nodded, and without any more nonsense, the spurs and horses were whipped, driving the war horses to the north, and the other guards and the Marquis of Cornell also hurriedly followed.

Moments later, the Praetorian Guards broke through the Adonis army and struck King James' carriage.

"James, this bastard actually ran away?!" Looking at the empty and gorgeous chariot, Bill said in disbelief.

"He can't run away." General Barnes said with a blank face.

"Shall we chase after us?" Bill asked, eager to try.

General Barnes shook his head, "We are heavy cavalry, how can we catch up with them?" And our mission is only to destroy the enemy's own position. Leave the chase to Jamie's light cavalry! ”

Bill glanced north with some reluctance, he really wanted to capture James and present it to King Charles.

A faint smile appeared on General Barnes's face, "Bill, if you want to catch James, go to Jamina!" ”

"Really?" Bill took off his helmet in surprise.

General Barnes didn't say anything more, just nodded.

Bill shouted excitedly, stripped off all his armor, stepped on a captured Adonis horse, and headed for Jamie's light cavalry.

General Barnes glanced at Bill's back, shook his head with a smile, drew his great sword, and drove his horse to King James's chariot, cutting off the opponent's banner with one sword!

"Boom!"

With the fall of the King's Banner, the Adonis Army collapsed completely.

In the era of cold weapons, if the banner of the commander of an army fell, it meant that the commander either fled or died in battle. But in either case, the morale of this army will plummet, and it will no longer have the intention of fighting.

It is logical to run down.

"King James is dead!"

"We're defeated!"

"Run!"

In an instant, the two wings of the Adonis Army, which was still trying its best to resist just now, collapsed! Countless soldiers threw away their armor and weapons, turned around and ran!

For them, the biggest enemy at this time is no longer the Andris army, but their original robes - if the other party runs in front of them, then they are likely to be chased and killed by the Andris army.

At this time, in order to survive, many people stabbed knives at the robe who had just fought side by side!

Don't kill each other, just let the other party fall behind you!

"The big picture is decided." King Charles, who was in the middle of the battle array, stood on horseback, put his hands on the pergola and watched the magnificent scene of tens of thousands of wolves rushing and fleeing for their lives, and said lightly.

"Your Majesty, how far do you want to hunt down?" Shangguan Lao'er rode his horse behind King Charles and asked out loud.

Charlie smiled and said, "Twenty miles." Then all the infantry troops collected their troops and returned to the camp, and the work of chasing and killing was handed over to the light cavalry, and then the surrounding lords were sent to let them lead the people to assist in the pursuit. More than 300 miles is enough for these invading armies to survive. ”

Shangguan Zhige stroked his beard and nodded.

Soon, King Charles' personal guards conveyed the order.

"Teacher." King Charles immediately turned his head to look at Shangguan Zhige, "Is there any new information?" ”

Shangguan Lao'er bowed his head, and his face was much more grim: "Yes." The Kingdom of Gabriel, the Kingdom of Ohirion, the Kingdom of Alterac, the Kingdom of Bradley, the Kingdom of Celt, the Principality of Abramo, and the Principality of Orange have all launched attacks on our country and are currently engaged in fierce battles with our border guards. ”

King Charles thought for a moment and asked, "The Kingdom of Gabriel and the Kingdom of Osirian didn't attack with all their might, did they?" ”

"Yes. Prince McGee has sent troops into both countries, and their energies are now drawn on the southern front, and it is only their respective border guards who are attacking us. ”

King Charles let out a long breath, the Kingdom of Gabriel and the Kingdom of Osirian are the two neighboring countries of the Kingdom of Andris to the east and west, they are both countries facing the Brown Empire and on the front line of the Millennium War. The combat effectiveness of the army is much stronger than that of other second-tier countries. If the brown man is not contained, and these two countries take the lead in attacking, his Andris kingdom will be really dangerous.

"Teacher, without further ado. I will take the Praetorian Iron Cavalry and attack south along the border, and the infantry and light cavalry will be handed over to you and General Barnes. King Charles instructed.

Shangguan Zhige stared at his beloved apprentice with burning eyes, "Don't worry, just leave it to the teacher!" ”

According to the original plan, after defeating the Adonis army, King Charles would take the mobile cavalry troops to launch a clockwise attack along the border, attacking all the invading enemy teams along the way, not seeking to completely defeat the Adonis army, but only to repel the opponent.

The main generals of the Andris Army were aware of this plan.

"Hmm."

King Charles nodded at his teacher, in this world, the only person he can trust is this Shangguan Zhige, who is also a master and a father.

……

A day and a half later, near the northern border of the Kingdom of Andris.

"Cornell, you sinner! As long as I didn't run away, there was still something to do. It is because you have to carry me to flee that the 100,000 Adonians you have killed will not be able to return to their homeland alive! ”

King James was still babbling and cursing.

The Marquis of Cornell walked at the front of the line with a blank face, and the king's angry scolding and even cursing his ears were calloused, and now he could hear without hearing and being indifferent.

"James, as long as I can return to China smoothly, whatever you want to do with me, stop for a while! What if we recruit our pursuers? Marquis Cornell said lightly.

"I'm not afraid of them coming! We Randolphs are not cowards like you, and I will fight them to the end! ”

Marquis Cornell shook his head and simply ignored him.

But at this moment, behind a hill in front of him, there was suddenly a cloud of sand and dust!

"Is this ......?!" Everyone in the fleeing party looked terrified, and even King James, who had just been reckless, turned pale.

Did you really recruit the pursuers?

But when the "pursuers" turned over the hills and appeared in the field of view of James and the others, they breathed a sigh of relief.

It was not the pursuers who came, but their own people.

The dozen or so cavalrymen with blood stains on their bodies and faces, and the clothes on their bodies were all in the style of King Adonis.

Marquis Cornell nodded to the captain of the guard.

The other party immediately understood and rode out of the queue and greeted him.

"What part are you from?" The captain of the guard asked loudly.

When the horsemen heard this, they immediately shouted: "Where is the king?" We are the pontoon guard troops, and last night the fleet of the Andris Army suddenly appeared and burned the pontoon bridge! ”

King James's figure shook from his horse, and he almost fell to the ground.

"I am your king." When the knights joined the queue, James identified himself and then asked urgently, "What about the rest of you?" ”

The knights looked at each other, and they all wept and did not speak.

Marquis Cornell frowned, don't you know just by looking at their appearance?

It is clear that the pontoon garrison was also routed......

"James, the north road is blocked, let's take refuge in the kingdom of Alterac!" Marquis Cornell suggested.

King James gritted his teeth, glanced back at the south, and said secretly in his heart:

"Charlie, as long as I, James Cliff, don't die for a day, I will pay back today's shame to you sooner or later!"
