Chapter 105: Reinforcements
"Let's go to the barracks!" Jason said solemnly to Lonnat beside him after listening to the cavalry report from the outpost in the afternoon.
"Go down and rest first. Then he said to the cavalrymen who knelt before him.
"Please, sir, go and save your brothers as soon as possible!" the cavalryman's face was full of grief and anxiety.
"I will, you go down and get some rest first!" Jason accentuated.
"Yes!"
......
"These barbarians are acting very unreasonably this time, if they can wait for Dorne and the others to go far before sneaking up, they will probably suffer huge losses, and they will not have a chance to escape back to the outpost. When he arrived at the barracks, Jason told Lancelot what had happened, and then Lancelot thought for a moment and looked up at Jason and said.
"But we can't do that much, these soldiers must be saved. Jason sighed, why didn't he think of this?
Since they were able to gather together and ambush the outpost instead of plundering resources, it means that there is a commander behind them.
The fact that a clever commander can do such an unreasonable thing only shows that there is a conspiracy in it, maybe it is to lure them to the rescue, and then inflict heavy losses on the Iron Fang army, and finally they can plunder the entire Iron Fang with impunity.
"I'll move my troops right away. Lancelot bowed his head and accepted the order, there were now seven hundred regular troops in Ironfang, and in addition to that, there were about five hundred reservists being trained.
This time, Lancelot plans to take all the regular troops, and the defense of Iron Fang Town will be handed over to these five hundred reservists, with their guards, plus the assistance of the city defense army and the security team, even if Iron Fang Town is attacked, at least it will not be breached in a short time.
Besides, where did there be so many enemies in the Iron Fang Territory, is it really a decoration to patrol scouts between Erbia and Iron Fang?
"When the time comes, you will lead the troops to rush to the aid first, and we will arrive later. Jason touched his chin and said suddenly.
"Yes. Lancelot was stunned for a moment, and then reacted instantly.
"My lord, we may lose a lot of money by attacking us head-on. After Lancelot left, Ronnat, who had been silent, spoke calmly.
"Then we won't attack head-on. Jason raised an eyebrow and shook his head, although his long blonde hair was pretty, it was really a bit of a hindrance.
......
In the outpost the next day, all the soldiers were hurrying to rest, because these barbarians did not attack frantically for some reason, but left them time to breathe.
Although they didn't understand why they did this, the soldiers didn't have time to think about it that much, and it was better to recover more physical strength to survive the next attack of the barbarians.
"My lord, their attack is not right. The hundred men ran to Dorne's side and whispered, their eyes fixed on the barbarians outside the wall, who were resting in the distance.
"It's weird indeed. Dorn's brow furrowed, the barbarians besieging the wall had only made a few tentative attacks during the day, leaving behind a dozen corpses before hurrying back into the distance.
The outpost was not having a good time, and although the soldiers were well trained, they were still a little overwhelmed by this group of terrifying barbarians, and they lost more than thirty soldiers in several defenses.
This made Dorn feel guilty, he was now a nobleman, and these soldiers were not his personal soldiers but Jason's army, after all, he had brought them out by his own will.
"Unless they're waiting for something. Dorn thought for a moment, a little uncertain.
"A weapon capable of destroying the wall?" the hundred-man captain also guessed from the sidelines.
"Nope. Dorn shook his head, if these barbarians wanted to enter the outpost, they didn't need the kind of weapons that could break the walls.
"Then what are they waiting for?" the Hundred Captains were really puzzled at this moment, what were these barbarians up to?
"Could it be that they are waiting for our reinforcements?" said Dorn hesitantly.
"Wouldn't it?" the hundred-man chief didn't believe it, wasn't this digging his own grave?
"What if there are other barbarians besides these barbarians?" Dorn slammed to his feet, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, his eyes scanning his surroundings.
But I didn't find anything.
"Could it be that my guess was wrong?" he sat down slowly, looking down in thought, mainly because it was so unusual.
"Don't think about it, my lord, they're attacking again. The Hundred Elders suddenly interrupted his thinking at this moment and said a little anxiously.
Dorn came to his senses in an instant, and when he looked up, as the hundred-man chief had said, the barbarians who were resting in the distance stood up in a hurry, and rushed in the direction of the outpost with jagged weapons in their hands.
"All the troops on alert!" he yelled, grabbing the longbow beside him by the way.
"The barbarians are coming, the whole army is on alert!" the hundred-man commander also called out loudly to the soldiers who were still around.
They quickly got up from the ground, the archers bent their bows to aim, and the infantry came to the wall with round shields in hand, and this set of actions was almost completed in a few breaths, reflecting their superb combat quality and discipline!
"Roar, roar, roar!"
"Tusa!"
The barbarians shouted jagged slogans and rushed forward in a haphazard manner, but the word "Tusa" was very clear and clear.
"Archers shoot freely, infantry watch to block!"
A neat throw did not do much damage to the barbarians, as the number of archers was somewhat small, so leaving them free to play might have a good effect.
And if the infantry is not able to effectively block and unload when the heavy weapons in the hands of the barbarians fall down, they can easily be knocked to the ground, and the final result is death.
They are the most important guarantee to protect the archers who can effectively kill and damage the enemy!
Dorne, on the other hand, stands on a high ground and searches for the presence of the barbarians who look like the leader, and this kind of barbarian is usually the most powerful, and their strength is often proportional to the body.
Every time he bent his bow and arrows and let go, he would take a life, and some barbarians had already discovered his threat, but it was too far away to hurt him.
There are very few of these backward barbarians who can use spears, and there are no archers, they believe in absolute strength!
While the outpost was under attack, reinforcements from the Iron Fangs, who had been on the road overnight, had approached this side, and this team was three hundred men, composed of pure infantry, led by Lancelot.
Strangely, though, they all have a huge shield of steel behind their backs, which is clumsy and useless.
"Everyone!" he closed his eyes for a moment, then ordered loudly: "Stand in array!"
With his order, all the soldiers raised their round shields in their hands and formed a circle vigilantly, observing the surrounding movements while moving slowly.
"Roar!"
Just as Lancelot had given the order, hundreds of savages suddenly emerged from under the snow on the surrounding hillside, standing on the hillside and roaring, but not rushing down in a swarm.
The situation here was indeed said by Jason, the soldiers in the outpost were really used as bait by these barbarians, the purpose was to lure Jason to send troops to support!
