On October 10, Baron Duroux had completed the complete siege of the Three Forks, and he was in no hurry to attack, for this market town was the most stupid way. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The roads and buildings in this market town were so cluttered that if they were to attack, they would have to pay at least two to three times more than the defenders to capture them.

At this moment, Baron Duru and his assistant, a middle-aged knight named Alfred, were discussing the details of the siege of the defenders of Tripart.

This Alfred was thin and looked like a bachelor, and his ancestors were said to be members of the royal family of the Middle Kingdom, who may have been banished from the royal capital after a failed seizure of power.

His family's legacy had been passed down through generations, and now even the realm had been lost, leaving only a knighthood and a decent aristocratic manor.

Baron Duru, led by Aegiza, always takes his assistant with him when he fights, because the other party can always provide crucial advice at critical times.

At this moment, the two seemed to be arguing over one thing.

"Your Excellency, you should expand your scout team immediately, and we must completely destroy those two missing Byan Leader soldiers within these two days!" Alfred was persuading Baron Duru, his tone slow and every word clear.

Baron Duroux gently stroked his stomach, and after the two days of marching, his stomach problems began to attack again: "I am already doing this, my friend!"

"The scouts can't detect the four thousand soldiers at all, you should increase the number of scouts tenfold!

Baron Duru shook his head, "That's going to be thousands of people, you know, old friend, that's impossible, I won't send so many troops to do this, our goal now is to trap Trichadens, the reconnaissance cavalry has a more important task, they need to cut off any contact between Trichadens and the outside world!"

"If our plans are thwarted, these four thousand enemy soldiers will make it very difficult for us!"

"But," Baron Duru grinned, "as long as our plan succeeds, these four thousand soldiers will be left to be savages in the wilderness, and in the end, we will be able to make them surrender without even a single soldier!"

"Two thousand soldiers from the west are most likely going to take refuge in the city of Covinde!" Alfred said in a low voice.

Baron Duru sneered: "Even so, their troops have been divided into three pieces by us, as long as we hold the current line and trap Trifurdens, after capturing Trichas, the supply line of our troops can be completely opened, so that the reinforcements led by Tiss can advance here." ”

When fighting with a large army, there must be a safe supply line, otherwise it will be a disaster, just like the decisive battle of the Erni River some time ago, Viscount Donna chose to retreat because of the problem of the supply line, and he didn't even start fighting.

Baron Duru's strategic intentions are obvious, he wants to occupy the town of the Three Forks at a very small cost, open up the supply lines of the Seku Territory and the West Cowin Territory, and then use the Three Forks as a stronghold to steadily advance in all directions.

The reason why he didn't adopt the tactic of storming Tri-Fork Town was because of the thousands of troops in Covinde City, he only needed to blockade Tri-Fork Town now, so that the troops inside would completely lose contact with the outside world, and avoid them from connecting with each other inside and outside.

He had already found out that Count Borg did not have many supplies in Trichax, and he would hold out for ten days at most.

Ten days later, Baron Duroux was convinced that victory would be his.

"I'm afraid that the three viscounts will order you to storm Trifurcation, so that your situation will become very disadvantaged, you know, the troops of Cowinde City may attack at any time, and if they do, the two thousand soldiers who have escaped from the west will definitely join them..."

As he was saying this, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside.

The scouts sent out by the original Baron Duru, they brought back the news that Alfred had just spoken, that the troops of Covinde City had been dispatched, and that the vanguard had joined up with the two thousand soldiers who had escaped.

......

Four hours ago, it was just dawn.

The vanguard army of 1,000 cavalry led by Knight Hanks, after a whole night's journey, was almost at the stronghold at the forefront of the enemy line.

The scouts he sent out sent back the news that the enemy scouts had been spotted ten miles away, Hanks decisively ordered the troops to stop advancing, he needed to let the troops rest, his task was not to fight the enemy, but to explore the detailed terrain nearby, test the enemy's defenses, and find a suitable camping site.

However, just as the troops were halfway to rest, the soldier in charge of the guard suddenly reported to him that a small squad of cavalry was coming towards them, which immediately alerted Hanks.

After all, this was his first time commanding regular combat, and he was very cautious, although the opponent only had a squad of cavalry, he would not take it lightly.

However, contrary to the Hax Knights' expectations, this small group of cavalry claimed to be the army led by Byn, the same force that had to retreat after the surprise attack of the enemy coalition a few days ago.

Hearing the other party's explanation, Hanks's heart moved, before he set off, Gray had told him to pay attention to the movements of this unit, and if his identity was confirmed, he could absorb them.

He now had the magical portrait of the Force Commander on him, which Gray had given him before he left.

"I need to confirm the identity of your commander, and besides, you can only go back alone, I will send a soldier to follow, if you dare to make any changes, this soldier of mine will die with you!" Hanks, who was born as a mercenary, has the cold blood characteristic of a mercenary, and he naturally has a way to be willing to let a soldier give his life.

In Hanks's eyes, honor is the excellence of who kills more enemies, and it doesn't matter what method is used to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

Looking at the two departing men, Hanks naturally did not wait in place, and he ordered the troops to retreat to a small hill they had just passed, which was open enough for cavalry to fight and retreat.

An hour later, a man in his twenties and thirties, led by the soldier who had just left, slowly approached, and this was the man who was painted by magic, a young knight named Jeff.

He no longer had the appearance of a knight, dressed as an ordinary soldier, and the ash on his armor had obscured the color of his armor.

Jeff looked tired, his eyes begging, "Knight, I need your help, my soldiers have been hungry for a day, they need to be supplied, or we may be finished before the enemy arrives." ”

"Yes, but you have to bring your troops here, not us!" Hanks was unmoved, he had reason to believe that the other side might have been rebelled by the enemy.

"Knight, we want to do the same, but there is an enemy forward stronghold near our troops, and there are two hundred of them!" Jeff was embarrassed.

Hanks said suspiciously, "Knight Jeff, if I'm not mistaken, you should have two thousand soldiers, what? Two hundred people can trap you?"

"At the beginning, we were afraid of startling the snakes, and we didn't dare to attack them, as long as there was a fish that slipped through the net, we were in danger of being discovered by the enemy, because we were mostly infantry, and after being discovered, there was basically no possibility of escape!"

"And now, our soldiers are so tired that there are even deserters!"

Hanks frowned when he heard this, looked down and thought for a moment, and then said, "When I see you charge, my soldiers will appear in time!"
