Chapter 579: Leading the War
Trample!
The large, heavy claws fell heavily to the ground, like a nail, nailing the high-speed body of the Santa Lion directly to the ground.
Behind him, the cavalry, which was already less than ninety in number, pulled the reins in unison and stopped steadily in the sound of neighing.
In just one moment, it shows the high quality of this cavalry.
Gu turned slowly, allowing Alfred on his back to look behind him.
From the top of this small high slope, it was clearly visible that less than a kilometer away from them, a large force was chasing them.
That's the Shepherd's troops, of course.
Both sides have been chasing and fleeing for almost three days.
The Shepherd's side was not stupid, and after chasing him for nearly a day, he realized that something was wrong, so Alfred had to turn around with his troops and force a return to the formation, provoking the anger of the other party before turning around and fleeing again.
For this, he paid the price of six deaths.
After that, in order to ensure that the opponent could keep catching up, he ordered the cavalry to slow down, and put on the appearance that the mount was not physically strong because of the continuous battle for too long.
In order to play more realistically, they even slowed down twice to the point that the other party bit their tails.
After two skirmishes, three more people were killed, two more were seriously wounded, and one of them was now tied to his back!
However, the effort paid off was ultimately useful—they were now in the same place where they had been when they had taken the cavalry out of the mountains.
The familiar terrain told him that it would not be long before he could reach the decisive battle site scheduled by the lord!
Seeing that the enemy had chased within three hundred meters, and even the two enemy's accompanying mages had begun to throw spells to this side, Alfred waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
It doesn't take much to say, it's become a habit these days, and the soldiers who had dismounted and looked tired to death mounted their horses with difficult and slow movements, and then drove their horses to slow acceleration.
The whole process really looked like they had reached the end of their crossbow and couldn't resist anymore.
Seeing this scene, the Shepherd troops, who were also very tired not far behind, were immediately beaten into a tube of chicken blood again and began to chase after them.
If they were vigilant enough at the beginning, then the situation of fighting the enemy and catching up with the enemy several times in a row had paralyzed their minds, and at this moment, they no longer wanted to think about it, and only thought about destroying the team in front of them and then hurry!
Alfred led the way in front of the cavalry without hurrying, crossed this small slope, and crossed a gentle slope in front of him, and suddenly opened up in front of him!
He saw the outnumbered enemy force that had only been heard of in intelligence, heading towards the Corolla Mountains.
I also saw a small number of friendly troops in the distance, but they were very familiar!
So, Alfred grinned, no longer limiting Gu's speed, and shouted "Go"!
The rout of General Mark's cavalry was a complete surprise to all, and their retreat caused confusion in the large army.
The chaos was finally controlled, and from the statistics after the new reorganization of the army, General Mark was almost broken in distress - there were less than six hundred cavalry troops left at this time, nearly half less!
After such a battle, even the young king, who was originally full of fighting spirit, hesitated a little.
The enemy is stronger than they imagined, but after all, there are not many people, should the whole army attack and destroy them?
Just when they were still hesitating, Alfred appeared with his cavalry!
They appeared so suddenly that they all got closer, and the Shikoku army found out.
They were so fast that they rushed past the side of the big army, almost clinging to it, until it passed, and the big force didn't react!
Pursue?
It's definitely too late, and the fastest with the best horses is General Mark's cavalry troops, which are still there to boost morale, and ......
"Look at the back!"
I don't know who roared, everyone turned their heads to look over, and then everyone was stunned.
The young king was the first to react, and couldn't help but be furious: "That small force is really just a decoy, the real enemy is here! Everyone, prepare to meet the enemy!"
The generals of several other countries hurriedly reorganized their armies and prepared to face the enemy, and some of them still had a fairly clear mind, and they couldn't help but wonder, if this was really the enemy's ambush support, wouldn't it be better to sneak over? What was the purpose of sending a small group of cavalry to alarm them?
However, seeing that the troops, which numbered at least a thousand people, were rapidly approaching, they did not think much about it, quickly adjusted their troops, and met them under the order of the young king!
On the other side, the shepherd troops who were chasing Alfred were also shocked, they didn't regard that force as an enemy at the first time, however, when they saw Alfred's cavalry passing by the other party like that, the other party did not stop them, and turned their heads to face them, even if they didn't want to think about it, it was impossible!
Faced with more than twice as many enemies as their own, the troops of the Shepherd were completely fearless, but instead they were aroused by the special violent fanaticism in their bodies that only loyal cultists have, and shouted slogans to meet them!
In the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the troops of the 10,000 juniors collided fiercely like this!
Although it was all expected, Langdon, who saw this scene, was still stunned, "I was still thinking about how I could provoke a fight between the two sides, but I didn't expect Alfred to solve it for me like this?"
Of course, he also saw that Alfred deliberately chose that route in order to provoke misunderstandings between the two sides!
This route is not safe, as long as someone on the side of the four armies reacts quickly enough to let the troops intercept in advance, Alfred and they will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and it is likely to affect the next plan!
However, Alfred did it, and it worked!
Rather than being reckless, Langdon prefers to believe that this is Alfred's deliberate choice!
Alfred and the others were extremely fast, and not long after rushing past the side of the four armies, they came to Langdon, and all of them dismounted and saluted.
Unlike when they first left, they were just a recruit who had been training for a few months, at this time, after more than ten battles, they have become qualified elites!
"Good work, your celebration feast is ready, and when I finish watching this good show, I will celebrate you when I go back!" Langdon said with a smile and patted Alfred on the shoulder.
At the same time, Kazvito, who led his troops to recover the spear that had killed half of the soldiers of General Mark's cavalry unit, also waved his hand and ordered: "Prepare to attack!"
