At 7:25 a.m. on September 5, Gray's troops arrived at the Black Mountain Pass battlefield. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Viscount Case's scouts had already detected signs of Gray's troops, so a tight fortification had been temporarily erected behind his camp, but the soldiers had not arranged much.

Gray had his troops attack in formation, but did not give the order to attack.

On the Black Mountain Pass, the battle between Viscount Marne and Viscount Keith had stopped before dawn, but the air here was filled with the smell of battlefield.

In that encounter a few hours earlier, Gray had lost less than three hundred of his own, but he had killed an entire battalion of the enemy.

This is because the enemy commander has no command experience in this kind of improvised encounter, and Gray uses the advantage of troops to surround the enemy, reducing a lot of unnecessary losses.

For the ensuing battle at the Black Mountain Pass, Gray will not take the lead in attacking unless he has to! Even if this is the best opportunity to attack, he will not give an order, he must get a definite answer from Viscount Marne, or Viscount Marne's troops will start to attack, and Gray will let his troops attack.

This delay dragged on until the afternoon, during which Gray had already received a report from the scouts on the side of Harrence City, and the group of nobles had really succeeded in occupying Harrence City, according to the news brought back by the scouts, it seemed that it was the rebellion of the old butler of Keith, Chiman, that allowed these nobles to easily control the city.

Time passed, and Gray was already a little anxious, but he couldn't eat Viscount Keys's troops alone, and he had to get an exact answer from Viscount Marne's side!

Finally, before dark, when the magic clock was at seven o'clock, Ruken finally returned, he was a little wounded, and Gray asked, "What's going on?"

"The blockade over there is very tight, and I also pretended to be Viscount Case's army, so I mixed in, only to be treated as a deserter by them when I broke away from the team, and shot an arrow!" Ruken's face turned a little pale.

Fortunately, the arrow only hit his arm.

"How's it going?" said Gray.

Gray beckoned a few soldiers to bandage Ruken's wounds, and Ruken said as he endured the pain: "Viscount Marne will attack at ten o'clock in the evening, and he needs us to remove the enemy's trebuchets and heavy crossbows on the left flank, and to pin down the enemy's main force. ”

Gray nodded, the scouts had already found out the situation in the Black Mountain Pass, Viscount Keys's trebuchet and heavy crossbow, because in the relative rear position, in addition to the necessary troops, no other soldiers were sent to protect it, this should not be difficult.

Seeing that Ruken was getting weaker, Gray ordered the soldiers to take good care of Rucan, and then had Sir Rand summoned.

Within five minutes, Ser Rand was at Gray's side, "Lord Baron, are you looking for me?"

Gray looked up, looked at Sir Rand, and asked first, "That little lord should have no way to escape!"

"Of course, Lord Baron, unless he's not in this camp!" replied Sir Randt crisply.

Gray looked at the camp in front of him and said, "I need you to lead two hundred cavalry and quietly ambush their left flank, around ten o'clock in the evening, the battle should start, and when the time comes, I need you to pull out the opponent's trebuchet and heavy crossbow!"

When Sir Rand heard this order, he immediately bowed: "Yes, Lord Baron. ”

Gray stared at Sir Rand's departing figure until he was out of sight, and then he stepped up to the Knights of Cent, escorted by a group of soldiers.

Cente was a little surprised by Gray's arrival.

Gray only said one sentence, "The time of the attack is half past ten in the evening, we must carefully observe the situation on the battlefield, and ask Viscount Marne to engage the enemy in close combat, and then we will attack." ”

Sennod, picked up the magic clock and checked the time.

Gray thought for a moment, and then said: "Also, what happened at the end of the Battle of the Ini River, I don't want it to happen to us again, let Viscount Marne and them explore the way first! ”

"Understood!" Cent's tone was low, and he was also haunted by the events of the last time.

After doing this, Gray made another round of the unit, and after making sure that there was no problem, he returned to his boss's flag. After the battle starts, the boss will always follow this Gray, not for the sake of prestige, but so that the generals below can quickly find themselves on the chaotic battlefield.

After all, there are too many uncertain things on the battlefield, and many urgent things need to be dealt with by Gray, and if the boss cannot be found at that time, it is not a joke, and a bad one will even cause the entire army to panic.

Time flies.

At a quarter past ten o'clock in the evening, Viscount Marne's troops finally moved out in anticipation of Gray, with two infantry brigades as the vanguard, the archers flanking the cover, and the cavalry brigade slowly moving from the rear to the right of the troops.

This is basically all the forces of Viscount Marne, and he also intends to fight a decisive battle at this time.

When Viscount Marne's troops advanced halfway through, two hundred cavalry led by Sir Rand suddenly struck out from the left flank of Viscount Case's camp.

Sir Rand was no slouch for an experienced veteran of the battlefield, and he ordered his horses to be wrapped in a thick layer of linen cloth over their horses' hooves, and to march slowly before approaching the enemy troops, and then suddenly accelerated when they reached a distance of two hundred feet from the enemy, so that the enemy troops were overwhelmed.

To Sir Rand's surprise, the troops guarding the enemy trebuchets and heavy crossbows on the left flank, numbering less than a hundred, were easily eliminated by him.

Sir Rand is not only experienced in the battlefield, but also not very sophisticated, he can naturally see Gray's plan clearly! Therefore, he will not attack again until Viscount Marne engages the enemy army!

At half past ten, the knight of Cente had already received several waves of scouts, but there was no information that Viscount Marne and the enemy army had been in close contact, so he was not in a hurry to attack!

The soldiers waited silently for the battle to begin, no one spoke, only scouts running back and forth on the scene! This situation continued until 11 o'clock, when a scout suddenly came to report: Viscount Marne's vanguard army had begun to attack the gate of the enemy camp!

"Advance!" the Cente Knight shouted at the top of his voice, and when the squadron leader below heard it, he immediately ordered his squadron to advance.

Naturally, Gray had received the same tip, and he had already followed the advancing team

Ten minutes later, a scout rode quickly on a fast horse: "Report! Viscount Marne's army has entered the enemy's main camp!"

Gray was stunned and said secretly: How can it be so fast!

Instead of being happy, Gray's face changed, and then several scouts came to report, but the news was mostly the same.

"Give the order to the Knight of the Cent, and let him lead the vanguard army to join Sir Rand on the left flank. The rest, follow me!" Gray thought for a moment and decided that it would be better to occupy the left high ground first.

Then, within a few minutes, Gray received a report from the scout.

It was a surprise to all, and Keith Donner, like his father, had already fled, seeing that there was nothing to do.

Gray sighed secretly when he heard such news!

Thinking about it, Viscount Keith must have evacuated the Black Mountain Pass after learning that Harrens City was occupied, and now that he thinks about it, the 1,000 soldiers should not have returned to Harrens City, but Keith deliberately sent them to block Gray, in order to delay time and let their main force retreat.

"That Viscount of Marne is such a piece of shit, that the enemy slipped through his noses!, and he didn't even know it beforehand!" said the knight of Cent.

Gray felt that this sentence was a bit harsh, as if he was also talking about himself, although the Knight of Zodiac did not mean it that way.
