Chapter Thirty-Three: The Coming Victory?

Instead, he turned back to the large army and joined the attacking mercenary team to rush to kill the soldiers of the Blackstone Fortress, trying to rush to the opponent's large siege machine and destroy it.

But how could Baron Babu, who had retreated to his position, give the enemy a chance. He quickly gave orders and began to reorganize the already routed army. The soldiers of the Blackstone Fortress seemed to have found the backbone in an instant, and slightly recovered some of their decline.

The battlefield situation, which has long been at a disadvantage, cannot be reversed in an instant. How could a knight order that had already been charging for five or six times sit back and watch the opponent's defensive position re-erect. Once again, they destroyed the battle that had just improved with relentless iron hooves and spear strikes.

On the other side, the pressure of the mercenaries suddenly increased, they were no longer one-sided onslaught, and the soldiers of the Blackstone Fortress under the command of Babu began to gradually resist the other party's charge. Their soldiers were far superior to those of mercenaries in terms of number and elite, and they were only pressed and beaten because they had been restrained by the Knights.

But this is only for the Blackstone Fortress position to barely resist the attack of the mercenaries, and the knights in the flank and rear are still infinitely expanding their casualties...

At this time, Mayfield was still on the high sentry tower of the city wall, looking down on the entire battlefield from a global perspective. When he saw that the mercenaries were gradually hindering and unable to continue to increase the results of the battle, the young man shook his head and sighed secretly.

The soldiers under Baron Babu are indeed worthy of the evaluation of the elite legion, and if they were replaced by the private soldiers of other lords in the face of this defeat of the formation chaos and the destruction of the flanks, I am afraid that they would have been completely defeated under the second round of charges of the knights. But they have persevered until now, and there is a tendency to gradually resist the situation.

He gazed thoughtfully at the position of the Blackstone Fortress, and after a moment turned his gaze to the east, where the red sun was rising. After staring at him for only a moment, he immediately turned his head to the sheriff next to him and ordered, "Go and signal the warriors outside the city to retreat." ”

After hearing this, the sheriff was stunned.

"Collar... My lord, this—" The sheriff hesitated. Why did the Combine outside the city retreat when they were close to crushing the legions of Blackstone Fortress?

"It's an order. The young man said without looking back.

The sheriff did not dare to ask any more questions, and immediately turned and descended the stone staircase. Could it be that the lord had any other plans?

Immediately afterward, after a loud thud. Amand immediately chanted a retreat cry in the middle of the crowd. Although the mercenaries were suspicious, they quickly began to retreat to the city gate according to the retreat plan that had been agreed upon.

On the other side, I watched this group of hateful mercenaries retreat quickly. Baron Babu only trembled with anger, and hesitated not to give the order to pursue him immediately. At this moment, the hateful knights were still on their flanks, and if they pursued rashly, they were afraid that they would be pierced in the back by the knight's spear on the warhorse.

But soon even the knights began to run towards the city gate, and Baron Babu finally couldn't suppress the hatred and anger in his heart. With a frenzied wave of his hand, he led the troops in pursuit with a roar of rage. This is a golden opportunity for revenge, as long as the other party retreats to the city and takes the gate down in one fell swoop, he swears to the gods that he will never spare this cunning second lord and these mercenaries who help the abuse.

The young nobleman on the high sentry tower saw Baron Babu chasing after him with his army, and a cold smile suddenly appeared on his face - after all, it was only that the neighboring countries in the Eastern Regions had relatively harmonious relations, far less tragic than the wars in the Northern Regions for many years.

With such an inferior and simple fishing bait, it can easily hook a big fish, and it seems that the lords of the Eastern Regions have really been 'peaceful' for too long.

With a wave of his hand, Mayfield ordered the only remaining sheriff beside him: "Go and call for the horn of attack to be sounded at once, and you all go and beat the drums." ”

And the poor sheriff, he even had some suspicions that something was wrong with his ears. He stood there dumbfounded, his face still full of puzzlement. If he hadn't heard it wrong, the lord should have given the order for them to retreat...

Just in case, in case it was just him having auditory hallucinations. The sheriff had to ask carefully, "You... Do you want me to order them to turn back and meet the enemy now?"

"Yes, immediately!"

——————

When the horn of the attack sounded again, the sound of drums began to roar.

At this moment, not only the mercenaries outside the city were puzzled, but even the soldiers of the Blackstone Fortress were also confused. Isn't the commander of the other side already insane? When the situation is good, he chooses to let his soldiers retreat, and in the middle of the retreat, he suddenly blows the horn of attack and beats the drums - even if he wants to play tricks, he can't be so blatant, right?

Unlike his subordinates, the loud sound of the horn made Baron Babu's mind quickly calm down, and his heart became more and more alert, when he ordered the pursuit just now, he had once again disrupted the defensive formation that his subordinate soldiers had just set up, if there were any more troops attacking them at this moment...

Thinking of this, he raised his eyes to look around the ambush around the city wall, but unfortunately found nothing.

However, the loyal knights had no doubts. Perhaps they had been under the lord's banner for too long, and they had already gained some immunity to these whimsical ways. As soon as they heard the sound of the trumpet, they had already begun to turn around and make a great circle at Gray's command, and at this moment they had once again attacked the flank of Baron Babu's army.

Seeing that the knights turned around, the mercenaries also chose to put aside their doubts. As comrades-in-arms who were still fighting side by side just now, they had no reason to leave their comrades behind and retreat alone, which was simply despicable. With the support of Amar, all the mercenaries turned and charged after the Knights.

At this moment, Baron Babu was also anxious. He didn't expect that the knights and mercenaries who had already retreated would suddenly turn around and rush halfway. He had already given up the formation when he let go of the pursuit just now, and without the restriction of the strong formation, those highly mobile cavalry could do almost whatever they wanted on the plain. Baron Babu hurriedly dispatched a force to deal with the flank onslaught.

Fortunately, no matter how bad the situation is at this time, it is much better than being pressed and beaten on the one side before. At least after a period of relaxation, his troops were no longer panicking, and their morale had recovered a lot.

But before Baron Babu could breathe a sigh of relief, a fierce roar came from the rear of their troops. Baron Babu's heart felt a shudder, as if he had been pierced through his chest by a sudden sword. He hurriedly looked back, only to see...
