187: Midnight mayhem

On the other side, a contingent of royal guards began to charge the Alpha battalion.

That's right, Astor arranged for a force to take their place to attract the attention of the Alpha army, and he led a group of ministers to hide among the wolf cavalry led by Duke Ratus to break out.

Duke Latus's wolf-fighting cavalry is recognized as the strongest cavalry in the Baiyun Empire, and it is no worse than the heavy cavalry of the Imperial City Praetorian Guard.

Roar, roar, roar

The soldiers let out a monstrous roar and rushed towards the enemy camp with their weapons in hand.

"Sir, it's not good. It seems that the barracks has been attacked by the enemy, and now that it is a mess, we need to support it. On the defense line of the Broken Sky Gorge blocked by Alpha, a soldier said worriedly.

The commander chuckled and waved his hand, "It's okay, our mission is to hold this place." We can't get out of here. ”

"Oh. ”

At this time, the soldier who had been scouting next to him suddenly shouted loudly: "The enemy has attacked, and the imperial capital army in the Broken Sky Gorge has attacked. ”

"Damn, it looks like they have a plan, hurry up and cheer me up. We held off their attacks several times and this time there was no problem. The commander raised his weapon and shouted.

"Kill. ”

"Rush out. ”

"We're going to rush out. ”

The sound of fighting shook the sky, and in this short valley road, fierce battles also broke out, all kinds of lifeless collisions, in the darkness they had completely unable to distinguish who was their enemy around them, and in their hearts there was only battle.

On top of the ruined fortress, five thousand soldiers gathered, their faces very calm, and the blades of their swords lay quietly in their hands.

"General, you said that the commander can rush out of them. A soldier asked the general next to him.

Diko looked at the sound of fighting over there, and he said lightly: "I don't know if His Royal Highness the Great Prince can rush out, but I know that our task now is to stay here." There's a battle that belongs to us here. ”

Dico turned his head to the north, looking at the fires that were gathering in the distance.

"My lord, there is a rush of shouts from the south!" said a soldier who broke into Mister's tent and fell to his knees and shouted anxiously.

"yes, I see. The tent was dark, and a figure sat quietly on the main seat, no light was lit, and only a figure could be seen vaguely.

The candles in the room were lit, and Mister, dressed in military uniform, but his face was terrifyingly pale, and he frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

The soldiers did not have the courage to look at Mister, and in the past few days, several soldiers had their heads cut off and fell on the gate outside because they looked at his face too much.

The soldier hurriedly lowered his head and gasped and said, "Report to my lord, there was a sound of battle on the side of the Broken Sky Gorge just now, but because it was blocked by the fortress on the opposite side, we couldn't find out what was going on!"

Mistre muttered to himself: "It's so late, it's really strange that we didn't attack that side, but we started fighting? According to Princess Arafa's previous plan, his side should be in the block." ”

If the soldier had raised his head at this time, he would have noticed that the expression on Mister's face was unusually dull, and could even be described as rigid.

"Isn't it, the enemy wants to break through in the middle of the night? The soldier said cautiously.

"Break through?" Mist slowly stood up and said: "You immediately give me the order to attack the inside of the Broken Sky Gorge, you can't give the enemy any chance to relax, if they really want to break through at this time, then their defenses on the fortress must be very empty, we can just at this time, stab them in the back." Hurry up and pass on my orders. ”

"Yes. ”

Inside Camp Araffa.

"What sound? Where is the voice?" said Arafa, who was praying, interrupted by the noise outside, and walked out of the tent with a distracted face, looking at the chaos outside.

"Your Royal Highness, please hurry up and go over there with me, it's very dangerous here. At this time, Duke Caldwell ran over and looked at Alafa and said nervously.

Arafah's face was grim, and there were two holy knights standing behind him, who glanced at Duke Caldwell, frowned, and said, "Tell me, what happened." ”

Caldwell swallowed and said, "Your Highness, an army suddenly appeared behind us, because it was too dark for us to estimate their number, but they immediately captured the defensive line on the periphery of our barracks, and they are still attacking. But our troops are already gathering over there. ”

"Attack?" said Arafa, frowning, "Didn't you say that the defense work was arranged, why did this happen?" ”

"I don't know, we did arrange for many soldiers to patrol non-stop, but those enemy troops seemed to suddenly appear out of the darkness and killed us by surprise, and by the time we reacted, they had already occupied our outer defenses. However, they do not seem to have any intention of continuing to attack us, but are constantly fighting over there, and I believe that when our army gathers up, we will be able to destroy all those enemies. Duke Caldwell said.

Arafa was well assured by Eto'o that the army in Ashing City would have to rest for at least two days before it could be dispatched, and it stands to reason that they did not move so quickly, so could it be that Astor had other reinforcements.

Alafa frowned suddenly, he looked at the direction of the battle, he subconsciously looked at the direction of the Broken Sky Gorge, he seemed to see a few fires flashing over there, he immediately shouted: "No, the enemy who attacked our military camp is just attracting our attention, their purpose is Astor in the Broken Sky Gorge, they want to rescue Astor them." Hurry, hurry, quickly send troops to support the defense line of the Broken Sky Gorge, and must not let them rush out. ”

"Yes, yes. I immediately arranged for the army to come to the rescue. "Duke Caldwell immediately began to mobilize troops to support the defense line of the Broken Sky Gorge.

Edson slammed his sword into the chest of one of the soldiers in front of him, and then he drew his sword and looked around him, which was already in complete confusion, and although they had taken their perimeter directly through the surprise attack, the enemy soldiers had begun to gather continuously.

In fact, he didn't act in such a hurry, but in the middle of the night, when he heard that the imperial capital army launched a sneak attack, he understood that Prince Astor chose to break through, in this case, as long as people with a little military awareness will choose to support, if they don't support, Prince Astor's army breaking through is very likely to be blocked, and he will definitely die at that time.

Without any hesitation, he decisively led the army to attack, just in time to penetrate the perimeter of the Alpha camp.
