Chapter Ninety-Eight: Ambush from All Directions

readx;

When the real mission was notified to the ears of each of the Potato Mercenary Group mercenaries, most of the mercenaries were stunned, but this reaction did not last long, and the members of these Potato Mercenary Group stopped whispering and returned to quiet. Several unsuspecting captains www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion panicked for a moment, but their confidence and trust in Fidel made them quickly calm down, and this sudden news was like a gust of wind, dispelling the casual state of all the mercenaries, and everyone became serious from the bottom of their hearts.

"Captain Fed, this matter..."

"It's a long story, but we do receive definite information that it is the regular army of the Duchy of Mageni that will join us in destroying the rebels who want to attack us. Fidel calmly answered Squadron Leader Jasmine's questions.

Several other captains also understood, and the more cautious captains had long considered being ambushed by the rebels, but that was just a guess and an idea, and no one believed that those rebels would dare to blatantly attack the potato mercenary group on the plains. But now the information coming out of Field's mouth makes it clear that they may face a fierce battle.

Nur patted his chest: "That's great! Since it's in our plan, there's nothing to be afraid of! I thought the opponent was an old colleague, but I didn't expect the opponent to be a rebel!"

"As long as the regular armies of the Mageni Principality can reach the designated place on time, then we have no fear of being in danger, after all, our allies are regular armies. Lukka pretended not to know before, but everyone else knew that Lukka had been in charge of receiving and delivering letters, and that the young cavalry leader knew more than they did.

Selena complained a few words, but she also said that this was a better opportunity to test the power of her cavalry squadron in the flatlands. The other captains had more or less said a few words, but most of them, like the previous captains, believed that even if the rebels in ambush wanted to attack them, they would be able to defeat those rebels, not to mention that this time there were regular troops from the Principality of Mageni to support them.

"But we don't know how many the rebels are," said Jasmine, "and what if the rebels have thousands or even tens of thousands?"

Patrick replied: "This should not be a problem, since it is an ambush, there must not be many of them, our nearly 2,000 subordinates are elite soldiers, and most of the rebels are ordinary people from civilian backgrounds." "The champion fighter has experienced ambushes in the Iron Ore Mountains, and the situation has not hurt him in the slightest, and the situation is certainly much more optimistic now than it was then.

Captain Winotki suggested, "Why don't you send this news to Deputy Captain Vittorio, if something really happens, Deputy Captain can also improvise." "If Vittorio hadn't been in the Iron Ore Mountains last time, Winoti wouldn't have had more than just a fall and a head. This time her proposal was agreed to by Fidel, who immediately asked Lukka to write down the situation in the letter, and then asked the mercenary in the team with a birdcage to tie the letter to the feet of the white dove and release the white dove. Vittorio's messenger equipment made many captains feel very reassured, and because of that incident and the timely white dove, the other mercenaries and captains began to trust Vittorio, the youngest and younger deputy leader.

The Potato Mercenary Regiment continued to march southeast. All the mercenaries of the Potato Mercenary Regiment have been alerted and ready to face a possible ambush from the Rebels. Newt didn't say where the regular army's anti-ambush unit would appear, but when he left Dulog this morning, Newt appeared in Field's field of vision, and the look in the other party's eyes reminded Fed that the Peace Grave Military Academy was in control behind the scenes.

"Commander, walk about an hour further and you'll reach the preset ambush site," Lukka pointed to the distance with his horsewhip, this area is all plains, but the preset ambush site is a large forest, and the village behind the forest is the village where the thieves are located, "Now it is more appropriate to send out reconnaissance cavalry." โ€

It's not that Fide doesn't believe in the Peace Grave Military Academy, but there is a reason why the mercenary group can become an independent army. Lukka volunteered to lead dozens of scout cavalry to the front to reconnoiter first, but Selena wanted Luca to stay here, and she, as Luca's superior, personally led the most elite dozens of scout cavalry to the front in two ways.

Half an hour later, the first group of Scout Cavalry to return to the group said that there were no suspicious signs to the north of their front, not even from a distance looking at the preset ambush forest.

"The regimental commander, the deputy regimental commander, Vittorio, has a reply. Winotki took the letter from the white dove and handed it to Fidel.

"I didn't get any information about the ambush in the eyes of the rebels, maybe the rebels secretly sent an ambush team, or maybe the rebels changed their plans and won't ambush the regiment commander and his party today. Vittorio's words made the other captains relax their tense nerves slightly, after all, although there was nothing in this plain, but just now several people on horseback appeared in the distance, and I don't know if they are scouts of the rebels. Fide expected more definite information from Vittorio, such as the number of rebels dispatched, but now Vittorio's words implied that there were few or no enemies ambushing him this time.

It didn't take long for several reconnaissance cavalry to rush back from the south side of the front, "Commander, there is an enemy situation ahead! A large group of troops is rapidly approaching this way!"

"Where's Squadron Leader Selena?!"

"Squadron Leader Selena is still scouting that forest, she sent us back first, but on the way back we ran into thousands of troops!"

Thousands of people?!The captains who heard the news were taken aback. The rebels, who should have been in ambush in the forest, had appeared on the plains, and were still attacking this way?, and Fielder began to doubt what the Scout Cavalry had said, and he asked several questions in succession, and the other Scout Cavalry gave the same answerโ€”a large group of troops on foot were advancing this way, and although they were still far from this side, they were very fast.

"They dare to fight us in a decisive battle on the plains, it seems that they really underestimated our strength. Lukka commanded hundreds of cavalry behind him, and these cavalrymen were already very elite horseback mercenaries after Selena's training, and ordinary mercenaries on the other side could also be ten with one.

"But our regular army reinforcements can't be seen yet, so they shouldn't stay near the forest, right?" Squadron Leader Jasmine had already put all of her subordinates on combat alert, and her men with crossbow machines lined up and walked to the front of the line.

The captains immediately passed the news to their subordinates, and the attention of all the mercenaries was highly concentrated, seeing that the last battle on the plains was about to begin.

"It's coming!" a scout suddenly shouted.

Sure enough, from the plain, far to the south-east, a large group of foot troops, numbering at least a thousand, suddenly appeared.

"There's one over there!!" Winotki shouted.

Within a few minutes, a large group of troops also appeared in the rear of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, all of them were foot troops, and there were quite a few of them, at least five hundred. In the following short minute, in addition to the thousand-strong troops in front, the other three directions of the potato mercenary group appeared in the approaching enemy, and the total number of the opposing side was at least 2,500 people, but all of them were foot troops.

"There are so many rebels!and they are ambushing us on the plains!" Lukka said, getting his cavalry units ready.

Fidel did not know when Mageni's regular army would appear, but now in all directions, the enemy ready to attack himself had appeared. These well-equipped guys are definitely not comparable to the rabble of the Iron Ore Mountains, maybe the enemy this time is the elite of the rebel army.

"Lukka led the cavalry to charge the enemy to the north, and after defeating the enemy in the north, he besieged the large enemy in the east; Jasmine commanded the crossbowmen to stand in the east and south and attack as soon as the enemy was in range; Patrick, Noor, and Winoki followed me with all the mercenaries armed with two-handed weapons to surprise the enemy in the rear; Leonard, Franklin, and Toto commanded the rest of the shield-wielding mercenaries and spear mercenaries to sit in the center and wait until the enemy was in range to protect the crossbowmen and retreat. โ€

Fidel gave the order quickly, he did not expect the enemy to flank them in all four directions of the plain at the same time, he just sent cavalry to reconnoiter the front, and carelessly ignored the other directions. Although the enemy has a certain advantage in numbers, he has more than 300 elite cavalry, which is fatal to the enemy's scattered encirclement. As long as Lukka can successfully break through the enemy forces to the north, then this ambush battle will definitely not be lost.

The crossbowmen team of nearly 700 people in the potato mercenary group immediately took out a single-shot crossbow machine and stood at the forefront. Most of these crossbowmen are the old members of the Mulika mercenary group, and in addition to being able to carry out long-range attacks, they can also use small arms for hand-to-hand combat. Standing behind them were spearmen and shield-bearers under the command of several squad leaders, almost four hundred men. The remaining 300 or so were all armed with heavy weapons, such as hammers, axes, and two-handed swords. They followed Fielder and began to approach the enemy team to the west.

"Commander! there's another troop over there!" Winotki jumped off her horse, carrying a golden enchanted shield on her back, and holding a snake repellent in one hand, pointing the tip of the rod farther to the southeast, where a large force could be seen.

"Are those also enemies?!, or are they units of the regular army?"

"I don't know, but those people don't seem to be moving, they just stay there and watch!"

Fidel was uneasy about the sudden appearance of the force, for even from this distance it could be seen that there was cavalry. If the other party was really a regular army reinforcement, then they should have come to the rescue a long time ago, why just stay where they were.

Nur took the dark red halberd from one of his subordinates, this enchanted weapon was very heavy, "No matter!

The unit to the southeast of the Potato Mercenary Regiment stood still, and at the front of the unit, a handsome man in a top hat sat on his horse, looking at the Potato Mercenary Regiment besieged from all directions.

"Clermont, I didn't expect a rebel cadre like you to find our mercenary union, and it seems that you are not the kind of stubborn guy. "Shining flames, silver flowers, gentle beautiful young mercenary group" Orlando, the leader of the group, looked at the young man beside him, and the other party was Clermont, a rebel cadre who had set a trap in the Iron Ore Mountains.

Clermont didn't reply, he just watched without saying a word at the killing that was about to begin.

"What a cold person, we actually have a common interest, don't we?" Orlando pulled on his top hat to make himself see clearly, "I also want to see if the mercenary group I recommend can be qualified for the vacant position of the MONOCULUS mercenary group, and this potato mercenary group that is against us is the best test item." โ€
