Luo Ming and his party did not hesitate to gallop at the fastest speed, and after half an hour, they finally caught up with the retreating infantry, and then arrived at another river.

Luo Ming's territory is the farthest away from the previous battlefield, and other nobles can flee back to the territory nearby, and scatter each other, the enemy cannot divide his troops into a dozen ways to chase one by one, and in the end only a few will be caught up and unlucky.

But Luo Ming didn't plan to bet on this, not at all - he had caused a huge amount of damage to the Belan army, adding up to a thousand or hundred, maybe causing a hate lock.

Coupled with the fact that his army carried artillery, even if the gun carriage could be pulled by more horses to ensure that the speed did not slow down, the ruts and horseshoe prints left behind were difficult to hide.

In case the other side sends cavalry to chase after them, it is still very likely to be overtaken.

With only two hundred soldiers in total, even if a spear formation and artillery could temporarily resist a cavalry attack, once they did so, they would be slowed down, and the enemy's infantry would quickly catch up.

Even if each of these two hundred people is one as ten, they can't beat the seven or eight thousand Belan army to surround them, Luo Ming himself has also used the Tianquan Sword, and now that he has not recovered, the other party will also be on guard, and it is estimated that not only will the entire army be wiped out, but even he will not be able to escape.

Fortunately, he had already made a plan from the moment he decided to bring two hundred and fifty soldiers to join the coalition army, and now he is more and more convinced of Sun Tzu's sentence in the Art of War, "more wins, less wins".

Adaptability is indispensable, but without a variety of calculations and arrangements in advance, it is difficult to find sufficient conditions to take advantage of even if you want to adapt to the situation.

If he hadn't prepared his boats by the river in advance, then it would have been impossible to return to the territory smoothly with more than 200 people anyway, and it would have been impossible to send those baggage back to the territory in advance last night, no matter how he responded, it was useless.

As for the small probability of the enemy suddenly retreating, or being killed by the chaos and causing chaos in the whole army, Luo Ming directly ignored it.

Although this river is a little winding, but through it you can use water transportation to quickly maneuver, even if the other party uses cavalry, it is difficult to catch up, even if it is temporarily overtaken, the cavalry has nothing to do with the boat, do you want them to swim over and pick up the boat?

There are a total of six boats along the river, and unlike ordinary boats, they all have huge wooden wheels on the side of the boats, which at first glance look like waterwheels.

In fact, this is a simple application of the earthly experience, and the large wheels are actually oars, and although Login does not have a steam engine, at least he can use human power to turn these wheels to provide power.

This wheel is more scientific than traditional oars, powered by pedaling, which allows more power to propel the boat, reducing wear and tear, and therefore faster than the average oar, which can reach speeds of up to 12 kilometers per hour if the sailor turns the oars with all his might.

This kind of full speed was not sustainable, but the ships were meant to transport soldiers, and if the soldiers and sailors were rotated to provide power, they could maintain such high speeds for hours.

In any case, it is impossible for the infantry to catch up with such speed.

The Belan cavalry is very powerful, but the water transportation of the Principality of Lothar is relatively developed, which is incomparable to the Belan people, the Belan Federation is basically a landlocked country, there are not many rivers in the country, most of the soldiers are landlubbers, and there will not be a few people in this army who can drive ships, let alone ship ships.

News has long been released in this vicinity, saying that the Beran robbers are coming, and they will rob the ship when they see it, so there are no civilian boats in the vicinity at all.

Even if the Belan cavalry really pursued along the river bank with determination, there were some sections of the river along the way that were not enough for the cavalry to pass through.

This time, Luo Ming wanted to attack the enemy's shortcomings with his own strengths, drag the Beran army into a completely unfamiliar territory with them, and neutralize their advantages as much as possible.

In fact, it took half an hour for the large force of the Berans to chase them to the river, and then, at first, they thought that Lockin had gone off some nearby bridge, or simply waded across the water, and searched for a long time to find nothing.

It wasn't until the mage was specifically asked to track the breath that it was judged that they had evacuated by boat from the waterway, and the process dragged on for another twenty-five minutes.

By this time, Lomin's fleet had reached a distance of nine kilometers.

The Berans quickly sent a cavalry to chase after them, and they were specially equipped with one man and three horses, which could be rotated when the horses were tired.

However, it was not until two and a half hours later that they saw the shadow of Lomin's fleet.

Lockin also had a shot shot from a heavy arquebus on the ship, killing two unlucky men and making them afraid to chase further.

In fact, this ship can also fire with light guns, but most of the gunpowder has already been used in the previous powder kegs, and there is not much left now, just in case it is not used.

By the time they got the news back to Beran's army, it had already been four hours—since Beran's infantry had also marched along the river, the cavalry on the return journey would have been able to travel a little less.

"Is this just a hate lock? I don't think it's going to be that simple. ”

The enemy really sent cavalry to chase after him, and he persevered in pursuing it for such a long distance, and it was still a luxury standard of one man and three horses, which was not simple.

Luo Ming was thinking about it on the boat, and suddenly his face changed, and then he sighed faintly: "Hey, I can also feel the butterfly effect......

"The butterfly effect?" Grant had heard Lormine's analogy and knew what it meant, but still couldn't quite understand why Lormine brought it up at this time.

Luo Ming didn't plan to sell Guanzi at the moment, he saw that there were no outsiders around, so he first told a few people to cover their mouths and not scream, and then said: "I see, these Belan people are coming for me, or to be precise, for the Carlo Mountain Road in my hand!"

"Carlo Hill Road......" Even Pelodiana immediately figured out the trick and became nervous, if this is the case, she has no possibility of being alone at all!

As mentioned earlier, the Confederation of Beran is located in the north-west of the Duchy of Lothar, and the disputed area they want to fight for is actually southwest in the Duchy, and the county of Van Shey is in the northwest corner of the Duchy.

Generally speaking, the Beran army should not attack in this direction unless they discovered the mountain road in Luo Ming's possession.

The outer side of the mountain road is open in an area where there is no clear rule of the state, and since no country has a clear rule there, it is natural that it will not be blocked by any powerful forces.

As long as Luo Ming is defeated and the mountain road is controlled, the Belan Federation can send another army to detour into the territory of Lothar from that direction.

In this direction, the Duchy of Lothar was completely defenseless, and it would be a nightmare to be killed by a large army of Belan and join the original army.
