Chapter 207: We Are Just Passing Through (5)

Principality of Hamp, Yod Town.

More than ten days have passed since the capture of Yode by the 2nd Army of Beru. Frank Lampard had left 1,500 defenders in Yoder before he set out. The job of these armies was not only to guard the town of Yode, but also to deal with the mountains of corpses piled up outside the town of Yode.

However, for the past two days, all the work of the defenders of Yoder Town has been suspended.

"Is there any news about them, my lord, and what happened to the explosion over there in Bol City?"

Remaining in the town of Yoder was the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment of the 2nd Army, Bakan, and all his troops remained in the city.

Three days earlier, on the night, the explosion in the direction of Boer City shook everyone, and the original confidence in the war was instantly evaporated, and Bakan would send cavalry scouts every day to find out the situation in the direction of Boer City.

"My lord, the troops we sent have not heard from me, I am worried, the commander of the legion, they-"

"Impossible!" Bakan slapped the table in front of him, and the few pieces of furniture in Yoder Town creaked and trembled with tremendous force.

After two wars, the town of Yod did not leave any available resources under the tactics of the fortified wall, and the troops who stayed here did not even have a room to live in.

"Are these soldiers of yours all rubbish?" Bakhan's face turned red from congestion, and he suddenly slapped his scout captain in the face.

"Calm down, my lord, I don't want to believe this speculation, but our scout force seems to have been intercepted by the Noahs. The scout captain fell to one knee on the ground, and the area where he was beaten quickly swollen, blood running down the corner of his mouth.

"This time you go in person. Bakan's voice suddenly became low: "If you can't find out the real and reliable news this time, you don't have to come back." ”

"Yes!"

"Get out of here, leave me alone. ”

Soon, Bakan was the only one left in the empty command room, and Bakan pulled down the blinds as if to lock himself in the room, and Bakan walked over to the military map hanging on the wall, and only a few days ago they had added the name of Bol City to the map. The Second Army left 1,500 men in Hamp City and 1,500 men in Yod, but these troops were relatively less combat-ready troops, and Bakan could now be said to be on pins and needles. Should other forces from the Duchy of Hamp come and attack the city, he and his defenders will either flee or die in the city.

Bakan is not a very good general in the second legion, and his own strength is also very average, but he is absolutely loyal to Lampard, Lampard's orders, he has always not sought merit, but sought no fault to complete, therefore, Lampard promoted him, this time also handed over the task of defending the city to his hands.

Bakan's eyes swept over the map, the location of Yode Town was too sensitive, if it was said that because of the strong strength of the Second Army Corps, it could deter the surrounding hostile armies, then now that the whereabouts of the main force are unknown, Bakan must make a decision about the current situation.

Will it be a battle, or will it be a retreat to Hamp City?

Bakan rubbed his hair vigorously, making a muffled sound at the innermost.

......

The moonlit night in the Great Plains of Hamp, the scenery is quite beautiful, once the night sky is clear, then the whole Great Plains will be illuminated by soft moonlight.

The scout captain galloped across the plains with a full 800 cavalry, this time their mission was clear, once the exact information was discovered, the 800-strong troops would instantly split into several groups and flee, as long as the information could be brought to the headquarters, Bakan would immediately prepare for battle or evacuation.

"Captain, you say, Legion Captain, what is the situation with them?"

Beside the scout captain, a soldier covered his mouth with his hand to shield himself from the oncoming night wind, and asked in a loud voice, "Didn't those who came from Kelnilo also set off with the adults?

"Don't ask me, I don't know about this. The scout captain's face was grim, and the corners of his mouth were still red and swollen......

"If we lose this time, we will not be able to start another war in a few years. The soldier's voice that had spoken earlier also fell. Unlike the other countries in the Fjords of Death, the Principality of Belu is determined by its lack of resources, and there is no other way but to expand outward. The high taxes in the country are also for the war service, and after years of war, the young and middle-aged people in the Principality of Belu have been conscripted into the army, and the domestic agriculture is even worse year by year......

"Then there is no way, I can only find a way to hire some mercenary organizations or Naga Hai's return. Forget it, these are not things we worry about, you were born in the fjord of death by your parents, just think about how to live well. The scout captain sighed.

"My lord, look over there!"

I don't know where the voice of a soldier sounded, which instantly attracted the attention of all the cavalry in the front row.

On the distant horizon of the Great Plains, a row of tiny black dots suddenly appeared, and as they charged, the distance between them became shorter and shorter, and with the help of the bright moonlight, Beru's cavalry instantly confirmed the identity of these "black dots".

"Captain! It's a cavalry! It's a cavalry!"

Just as a person who is about to drown sees a plank, for them now, whether it is the enemy's cavalry or their own cavalry, it can prove one thing - that is, the result of the battle of the city of Boer.

"Captain, it seems to be the cavalry of the Noahs! you see, none of them have our Bellu Gray Wolf Banner!"

Belu attaches great importance to the spiritual construction of the army, and even if the battle is lost, the soldiers must retreat with the banner of the army, unless the army is completely destroyed.

"They were not very numerous, that is, seven hundred. The scout captain put his hand on the hilt of the saber at his waist: "Everyone prepare to fight!

No one questioned the Scout Captain's orders - the Belu were too confident in their cavalry, and on the Great Plains, the Belu would not retreat unless the opposing side had more than twice as many troops as their own.

Cavalry vs. cavalry, only in the case of hedging, can the winner be decided.

But such battles are often the most tragic, and the winning side will completely chisel through the losing side's team.

The Scout Captain apparently had no problem with his choice, however, instead of the usual Noah's army, he was facing the Boer Guards from Bol City, led by Ron.
