Chapter 206: The Sound Strikes the West

"Bring it to the regimental commander!" a subordinate pointed to the white dove with a note tied to it, and the mercenary in charge of carrying the iron cage immediately reached out and grabbed the white dove and pulled the note out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Fide saw the white pigeon, he sensed something was wrong behind him. Sure enough, the urgent report on the note confirmed his hunch - the potato mercenary group was attacked in the dormitory of Dumu City, and more than half of the mercenaries guarding the mercenary dormitory were killed and wounded, and the attacker was the leader of the mermaid mercenary group, Kegrei. Vittorio also wrote in a note that the mermaid mercenary group rushed into the mercenary house under the leadership of the regiment leader Kergrei, and those who dared to stop were killed by him, and it was still impossible to estimate his own losses. As for the mermaid mercenary group that attacked the mercenary house, they have left Dumu City and are fleeing to the south.

"You go and inform Squadron Leader Selena of the matter right away! We're going to go after Kegrei!" Fidel crumpled the note and threw it on the ground, telling the other captains the bad news, "Ayana, you go back and see what is going on at the mercenary quarters first, Leon is very likely to have been taken captive, then let's see if the man named Simos has been taken away with him." ”

Ayana shook her head, "I'll leave the affairs of the city to Squadron Leader Jasmine and Deputy Superintendent Vittorio, and I'll be by your side." ”

Fidel knew that Ayana's injuries were not completely healed, but he did not hesitate, and immediately asked Luca, who was not far away, to follow him, and led more than 900 elite horseback mercenaries to pursue the south of Dumu City.

The cavalry squadron pursued at great speed, but Vittorio sent white doves one after another were even faster. The second piece of news was about the loss of the mercenary lodge, where the former leader of the rebels, Leon, and the rebel cadre Marie, were taken away. Lazrov, who was protecting Lyon, was wounded, and Ligu was treating him. The blind man who was housed in the next room was fine, Vittorio and Reeves had already started the aftermath, and Squadron Leader Jasmine chased out of the village with the rest of the squadron of mercenaries.

The third news is about the mermaid mercenary group, it turns out that the mermaid mercenary group has colluded with the rebel organization, and their stronghold in Dumu City has long been empty. Kergree tricked Fed and Herman out of the city before launching a surprise attack on Lyon's hideout. Presumably, they wanted to bring Lyon into the mountains south of the Duchy of Mageny, and perhaps they would encounter the rebel troops who met them during the Philippe pursuit. Vittorio concludes by reminding that if the nobles of the Duchy of Magini find out that the potato mercenary group is hiding Leon, the leader of the rebels, it may cause a lot of trouble.

At this time, Fei De had already made his goal clear, even if Herman knew about Leon's existence, he must pursue the mermaid mercenary group with all his strength and rescue Leon.

Most of the more than 900 horseback mercenaries were engaged in actual combat for the first time, but when they heard that their opponent was a mermaid mercenary group in Dumu City, they relaxed. Because the mermaid mercenary group is mainly infantry, and the number of the entire mercenary group is less than a thousand, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry on the plain is enough to defeat one enemy and five, no matter how you look at it, those mercenaries who fight on foot are not the opponents of these well-equipped cavalry.

After chasing out of the south of the city of Dumu City for some distance, the escape force of the mermaid mercenary group finally appeared in Fidel's field of vision. The mercenaries of the mermaid mercenary group were divided into two groups, one of which had crossed a wide river and was on the other side of the river, preparing to flee to the distant mountains, while the other group was guarding the bridge, apparently to intercept the pursuers' broken back troops.

"Captain Fidd, there are only a hundred people over there, but if we don't cross the river as soon as possible, we may not be able to catch up with the enemies who have fled far away!" Lukka reminded.

Fidel was aware of the problem, as those who remained at the bridge were crossbow-wielding mercenaries with guns and were quite restrained from riding mercenaries, and it would take a long way to get around the Broad River. Now we must hurry to catch up with the enemies who have crossed the river, otherwise even if we kill all the mermaid mercenary groups, Leon and Marie will still be taken into the mountains, and it will be very difficult to recover them.

The sharp-eyed Winotki pointed to the lower reaches of the river, "Commander, there's a bridge there!"

A mercenary on horseback who grew up in the city of Dumu immediately shouted, "That bridge has been in disrepair for many years, not only is there a break in the middle of the bridge, but it may collapse at any time, if we pass through it in one go..."

Fidel found that there was a mill in the upper reaches of the Broad River, where there should be some boats to cross the river, and a ferry could carry not many people, and perhaps only one person and one horse at a time could be brought with them.

"Luca, it is impossible for us to catch up with the enemy who are far away, whether we take the broken bridge or cross the river in a small boat, and now we can only try to attack the west. ”

"Sound to the west?" Lukka immediately remembered that he had just fallen victim to the mermaid mercenary group's plan to attack the west, if they hadn't been tricked out of the city, the mercenary lodge would not have been attacked.

"That's right, I'll let Winotki cross the river at the mill, and I'll take some of my subordinates to the broken bridge, and then divide hundreds of cavalry to make a long detour, and you will command the remaining dozens of vanguard cavalry to wait in front of the enemy, pretending to be helpless, and when the forces on the bridge are dispersed, immediately charge the enemy troops on the bridge!"

"But what if they weren't caught up in Captain Winotki and Captain Fed?"

"Then we can only pray that those enemies who have fled far away will not go so fast," Fei De thought of this method as quickly as possible, "Although this is not a perfect method, you must remember that you must not be entangled by those mercenaries who are guarding the bridge behind you, and lead your subordinates to chase after the main force of the mermaid mercenary group as soon as possible, as long as you catch up with them, Captain Jasmine and even Lord Herman's troops will be able to catch up." ”

Lukka nodded vigorously, and the captains of Winotki, Leonard, and Franklin also led the way, each scattering in their respective directions.

Ayana and more than 200 cavalry followed Fed in the direction of the broken bridge, and Fed told the cavalry behind him that when the enemy on the bridge dispersed and Lukka led the vanguard cavalry to charge, they could run directly to the intact bridge and attack together.

Winoteki's troops reached their target as soon as possible, and several small wooden boats were parked next to the mill, and the owner of the mill wanted to charge for the borrowing of the boats, but the silent two hundred or so horseback mercenaries quickly frightened him. Winotki jumped into the boat first and rowed across the river with the other two mercenaries.

The mercenaries who were guarding the bridge noticed the movement of the mill, but they just watched quietly and did not go that way.

Lukka gritted his teeth, the enemies who had fled far away were about to disappear from his view, and if the broken forces guarding the bridge were not dispersed, the potato mercenary group might really lose its target.

But it didn't take long for the mercenaries on the broken bridge to start stirring - Fidel, who was not wearing any armor, had already successfully crossed the broken bridge!

Fei De appeared on the other side of the Broad River alone, and the replacement black armor on his body did not know where it had been lost, and now he was only wearing a set of long-sleeved winter clothes that were not thick, like a civilian on horseback.

It turned out that when Fei De arrived at the broken bridge, he found that the gap between the broken bridge was not small, and the mercenaries riding war horses and wearing armor could not cross it at all, and many war horses did not even have the courage to stand next to the gap. In the end, Feder chose to put down his weapons and armor, and jumped to the opposite side of the broken bridge, and the black steed that Reeves had chosen for him was also very humane, and after his master jumped over the bridge, he mustered up the courage and jumped high over the gap that was not a short distance.

With Fidel's success, AYANA also abandoned her horse, first threw the "silence" and the moon shield to the other side of the broken bridge, then jumped over the bridge alone, rode on Fidel's warhorse, and began to chase the troops who were about to flee into the mountains in the distance. The rest of Fidd's men also tried to jump over, but more than a dozen men and several horses had already fallen into the river and were swept further downstream.

Winoki also crossed the river one after another, and those small boats could only carry one horse and one person at a time, but there were already seven or eight horseback mercenaries on the other side of the river. The broken mercenaries began to sit still, and more than a dozen of their cavalry immediately rushed in the direction of Winoteki, while five cavalry pursued in the direction of Fidel, intending to intercept the mercenary leader who had taken off his armor. Dozens of mercenaries armed with crossbow machines also ran in the direction of the mill, trying to prevent the boat from crossing the river.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lukka immediately asked his men to step on their horses and attack the bridge where only half of the broken troops remained!

Ayana didn't have any armor on her body, and she sat behind Fidel, watching the five chasing cavalrymen.

"I'll leave my back to you," Feder said, looking at the large retreating troops in the direction of the mountains, "It's the first time I've fought without armor, and it's a very insecure feeling. ”

AYANA suddenly put her left hand around Feide's abdomen and leaned her forehead against the back of Feide's heart, "Don't worry, it'll be safe." ”

As the five horseback mercenaries approached, Ayana also took out her wooden bow. The girl on horseback did not lose her head, and she used only six arrows to knock out all five of her enemies - all of them were fired at the warhorse, one of which was blocked by a mercenary with a shield, but when Ayana aimed at the horse's leg again, the mercenary could not prevent herself from being thrown off the horse.

Lukka lived up to Fidel's expectations, and although it took him longer than expected to break through the bridge, he did not forget Fid's orders, and pursued the main force of the mermaid mercenary group with a dozen vanguard cavalry. The other two squad leaders also surrounded Lukka as he charged, and the mercenaries who had already been entangled with Winotki lost their fighting spirit and began to flee far away as soon as they saw that the main bridge had been breached.

"Fed, what if Leon and Marie aren't in the main force in front of you at all?"

Fidel hadn't thought about this situation before, but it was very likely that the question raised by Ayana would become a reality, and maybe Kergray would use the trick of sneering Leon to secretly send Leon somewhere else, "Well, it is also possible that he has been taken away by the mercenaries on horseback... Then catch Kergley first and ask the truth out of his mouth. ”

"So we're going to capture that guy alive. ”
