Chapter 358: The Heart of Counterattack

readx;

Before Vega could capture forty suits for the Imperial Patrol Cavalry, Count Campham agreed to a plan to fight in concert with the Mercenary Guards. The Earl www.biquge.info of Canchen said that he would divide 8,000 troops to besiege the "Right City" with 8,000 men, and at the same time arrange 10,000 infantry in the south as a receiving force to contain the Imperial Army that came to rescue the "Right City". Count Camhen also confessed his concerns to Fidel, he would not press the entire army, this time the plan was mainly to see if the mercenary Guardian Regiment could achieve the effect of a surprise attack, and the real target was the military camp behind the three small cities.

Vittorio predicted that the Eastern Oguna Empire would send at least 6,000 cavalry to relieve the siege of the "Right City", even if the Count of Camhen had a larger army, which would be enough to deal with. Although the right city is only a small town, and it has less than a thousand defenders inside, these defenders are enough to cooperate with the iron cavalry supporting outside the city to effectively defend against it. It was not an easy task for the regular army of the principality, which was mainly infantry, to deal with the Imperial cavalry that came to their aid, while also dodging the bows and crossbows in the city, and Fid knew that the Imperial army did not need to be outcast.

"Soldiers are fast, for the best results, I will command the cavalry squadron with Lukka to make a quick breakthrough," Fide began to assign tasks, "Counting the other mounted mercenaries of the Mercenary Guardian Regiment, a total of three thousand cavalry will be directed at the Imperial Army's camp under my command." ”

Vittorio fiddled with markers on the map as Fed's wishes, "And the rest of the Mercenary Guardian Regiment only needs to divide into two routes, encircling the 'Left City' and 'Mid City' respectively, and even not attacking the city," Vittorio said of the plan he had discussed with Fed, "The only thing to watch out of is that the Imperial Iron Cavalry who rush out of the camp and support the 'Right City' may turn to support the other two small cities." ”

"That's right, that's pretty much the setup," Feder turned to Toto, "Toto, it's up to you to attack Midtown, it's a separate castle, and you should be able to use your siege ammo." ”

"Yes!

Nur clapped his hands: "We are using their methods to deal with them! They just let the internal chaos of the Southern Army first! and then they can go straight in!"

All captains know this, and the Imperial Patrol team disguised as Selena and Captain Fenrir will play a vital role. In addition to Selena and Fenrir, the remaining thirty-eight horseback mercenaries who joined the operation were all good hands, and they had to quietly infiltrate the barracks, and quickly grasp the situation in the camp, and take advantage of the three small cities to be in a hurry at the same time to create enough chaos. As long as Selena and the others can do this, the 3,000 cavalry led by Fei De himself has a good chance of defeating the Imperial army, which still has more than 10,000 people left on standby.

That barracks is like the brain of the human body, commanding and controlling the three small cities and the 20,000 soldiers in the rear, and only by piercing the core like a needle can Fei De complete the goal he set for himself - to completely annihilate the defenders of the Imperial army in this area and win a great victory in one go.

So before Selena set off, Fede specially met with the new cavalry squad leader Fenrir whom he had never met, "Selena, Fenrir, your task is very heavy. ”

Selena nodded, "Don't worry, Captain, there is nothing wrong with our plan, and the strength of forty people is enough to complete the task." ”

Fed's trust in the former Knight Chief, who had left the Church Order, was unquestionable, but another new subordinate wearing knight's chain mail made Feder feel a little dissatisfied.

"Captain Fenrir, I'm counting on you, too. ”

"..."Fenrir raised his head slightly, he didn't care about any young and promising mercenary leader at all, "Captain Fed, are you sure that you can defeat more than 10,000 elite Imperial cavalry with three thousand mercenaries?"

Only then did Fei De realize that the other party was not dissatisfied, but arrogant and disdainful, and it was the first time he had encountered such a subordinate, "I am confident, three thousand horseback mercenaries... Totally sufficient. ”

"That's good, I don't want to change mercenary groups just after making a little money. ”

Fid was accompanied by Patrick, Ayana, Luca, and Vega, all of whom knew Selena's detailed plan to find the horses in the barracks and set fire to the iron-clad horses. As long as the horses used for riding were burned to death, the rampage of the horses would cause great chaos, and the other Imperial soldiers would not be able to escape.

However, like Fenrir, the other captains thought that 3,000 horseback mercenaries were too little, and that the enemy was a well-trained Imperial army of more than 10,000. They could only pray that the Imperial Army would send more troops to support the three small cities, and that the Earl of Campham would be able to contain more enemies.

"I'm sure, there's no ambush in that forest. Lukka rode his horse alongside Fidel as Selena and Fenrir slipped into the darkness of the night in the distance, dressed as Imperial cavalry garments.

"If there is an accident, then immediately lead our men to evacuate. ”

"Yes!"

As planned, Fidel would set off half an hour after Selena left, while Count Campham laid siege to the "Right City" to attract the attention of the Imperial army. Fide would take 3,000 cavalry directly to the camp from the nearest route and smash the Yellow Dragon, while Vittorio would command the mercenaries attacking the "Left City" and Toto would be in charge of the "Right City".

Before leaving, Toto left Moose behind, the tall, thin ballista squadron leader was visibly nervous, sweating incessantly for the first time to take on such a heavy responsibility, with five hundred mercenaries of his own regiment and thousands of other mercenaries under his command. The empathetic Moose saw the other party's uneasiness, and he clasped Toto's hand and said, "Captain Toto, don't worry, your ballista cart will be your reliance." ”

"Using a ballista cart at night will make the accuracy drop dramatically... Actually, I'm not worried about this, I'm worried that I won't be able to command so many mercenaries..."

"And us!" said Winotki with a smile, walking behind Toto with Franklin, who had been with Fielder for a long time, and everyone respected the middle-aged mercenary.

"Well, I'm going to help Captain Fede win this victory!"

Selena and Fenrir had disappeared into the night, and Fenrir was no less skilled than Selena, and they followed the route of the patrol cavalry through the "Midtown" and "Left City", and the defenders of these two small cities did not notice that they were mercenaries in disguise, and nodded to them.

"No surprises, we're going to 'go back' to the camp like the rest of the patrol cavalry. Selena whispered to Fenrir.

"I know it even if I don't say it. Fenrir had sensed that the long-haired mercenary had been a little different to him, but now he didn't want to think about men and women, and Bradley in the distance was what he had always been thinking about.

"We're going to create chaos when the Imperial camp learns that all three small cities have been attacked, and that chaos will have a better effect. ”

"I know it even if I don't say it. ”

"Okay, so what else do you not know?"

Fenrir stared ahead, his eyesight was so good that he could almost see the Imperial army's camp, "A mercenary is more zealous than the Count of this country, I don't know why. ”

"Because Phylla is different," Selena thought the other party would ask some questions, "He's not like other mercenaries, he's not in it for wealth, he's always followed his inner voice, and he's never afraid of strong enemies is something I value." Fenrir didn't respond to Selena, perhaps because the barracks were ahead, or maybe he didn't understand Selena's words at all.

The Imperial soldier in charge of receiving the patrol cavalry appeared outside the barracks, several soldiers were sleeping at a table, and the receiver who came over was carrying an oil lamp in his hand, and the other was holding a notebook and a pen.

"Password. "The guy in charge of recording the patrol didn't even lift his head.

By this time, Selena had already ducked to the back of the group, and Fenrir was in charge of giving the commands to the patrol cavalry, which Vega had received from the Imperial patrols.

"Is there any movement ahead?"

"No, it was very quiet and everything was as usual. ”

Receiver: "You also know that a small patrol cavalry patrol did not return today... I guess they're all killed, right?" Fenrir had some blood stains on his cavalry clothes, but it was too dark to see clearly.

"It seems to be. ”

The receiver with the oil lamp seemed to have seen a woman appear at the rear of the patrol team, and the patrol cavalry had no women at all. Just as he was trying to see clearly, Fenrir pulled out several gold coins and threw them to the ground.

"Brother, pick it up for me. ”

The soldier carrying the oil lamp immediately lowered his head to touch the gold coin, and kept responding: "It seems that I only saw one... It's too dark... Did you drop one?"

Fenrir immediately clamped his legs and pulled the reins, "Forget it, I'll leave you with those few gold coins, I'll go back to rest in a hurry!"

"Hahaha, okay then, I'll help you find it again, you have a good rest. ”

Fenrir led away with dozens of horseback mercenaries, while the two Imperial soldiers in charge of answering were still groping for windfalls by the light.

Selena was almost found out when she whispered to Fenrir, "Thank you. ”

"You shouldn't have been asked to come in person, Squadron Leader, your status is not suitable for such a dangerous mission. ”

"Is that underestimating me?"

Fenrir did not answer the other party again, but based on the information obtained, he walked to the place where the patrol cavalry rested. Selena and the rest of the equestrian mercenaries also realized that this was the most important moment, they probably knew the location of the stables in the stables, and now they could start to cause chaos by sneaking down and waiting for the news of the siege of the three small towns.

At the same time, the 3,000 cavalry led by Fei De himself was also ready, and came to the middle of the "middle city" and the "left city" by night. And not far away, outside the "middle city", Toto's ballista trucks were already lined up hundreds of meters away, adjusting the angle of fire.

"Ayana, just like before, capture the thief and capture the king first. ”

Ayana took Fidel's words to heart, and she knew that this victory was too important for Fidel.
