The dust rolled up by more than a thousand cavalry charges was like a small sandstorm, and the gallop of more than a thousand war horses made the whole earth seem to be groaning, and the thick clumps of dirt trampled by the horses' hooves showed the power of these cavalry charges.

The aura of their charge seemed to be felt by the officers of the stronghold hundreds of feet away, his breathing was a little painful, his face was pale, and his panicked expression flashed, and then he regained his composure.

Years of experience in the army let him know what he was going to face.

It was impossible to escape, and it was useless to be afraid, he gritted his steel teeth and roared angrily: "Soldiers, kill me, and let the people of the Byan Collar see how our Tyth Collar spear pierces the enemy!"

The officer's roar made the garrison defenders who had been in turmoil suddenly a lot more stable, and the veterans already understood their fate.

Now, they no longer have room to spare, they no longer defend against the blades that fall on them, they only aim at the enemy in front of them, wielding the spear and short sword in their hands, they have only one voice in their hearts, killing one is enough, killing one more earns one.

The most primitive and bloody battle was staged in the hands of this group of stronghold soldiers, and Jeff's troops were obviously caught off guard by the opponent's lifeless attack methods, and in just a few breaths, his troops actually suffered nearly fifty casualties.

From afar, Hanks saw a strange scene on the battlefield in front of him, a group of soldiers who were obviously at a disadvantage, actually forced back the large group of enemy troops surrounding them.

"Damn it, the soldiers of the Byan Leader are really useless, brothers, kill all these little cubs for me!" Hanks has no knightly demeanor at all, and more than ten years of mercenary career has made him more casual and murderous...

The cavalry brigade under his command was divided into four teams, and each team was fifty paces apart, and it only took a dozen seconds to rush to the flank of the defenders of the stronghold.

The last struggle of the defenders of the stronghold did not save them from defeat, and the blood of two hundred enemy troops was sprinkled under the spears of Hanks' cavalry brigade, setting off bewitching blood-colored flowers.

"Knight, thank you for keeping your promise!" Jeff dismounted and saluted Hanks, "You can call me Jeff, can I know your name?"

"Helgen!" Hacks smiled with a layer of blood on his face, which made his smile look a little terrifying, "Helgen Hanks, but I prefer to be called by my last name, so that I don't forget the past!"

"As you wish, Knight Hanks!" Jeff glanced in the direction of the enemy, "we should evacuate immediately, the enemy has already reported back with cavalry, and their reinforcements will arrive at any time." ”

Hanks smiled bloodthirsty, "They can't organize a large force so quickly, and the maximum number of reinforcements will not exceed a thousand." ”

As he spoke, one of the scouts sent out rushed to the scene and shouted, "About a brigade of cavalry from the northwest is rushing towards our army!"

Hanks smiled coldly, "Knight Jeff, you let your soldiers retreat first, and I'll stay behind!"

Jeff chose to stay, but his soldiers were all evacuated from the front line, they were so weak that anyone who had been hungry knew what it was like to go a day without food.

Hanks naturally understands that leaving these people behind can only be a burden, and it is better to retreat.

However, in the end, the two teams were unable to fight, and the commanders of both sides were not sure of victory, leaving the other behind, and both were worried about the follow-up troops behind the other side.

The coalition forces of the Seku and Tess could only watch as Hanks' troops withdrew from the battlefield.

When Gray received the news, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and at the same time he received a letter from Hanks urging him to ask for food and grass, after all, there were nearly two thousand people at once, and their supply was a big problem.

Baron Duroux paid the price for his carelessness, and the line he now laid out outside the town of Three Forks, an arc of defense from southwest to southeast, would be threatened by Gray's 7,000 troops.

As for Gray, getting these two thousand new forces reduced his pressure by half.

On the morning of October 11, 1211 A.D., the Earl of Lockton appointed Sir Pra Lao as commander-in-chief, commanding an army of about 7,000 men stationed on the border with the Aegiza Territory.

The Viscount Booker led by Egisa also deployed 5,000 troops on the border line to confront the troops of the Earl of Lockton, but the commanders of both sides maintained restraint and did not start the war as the outside world imagined.

At the same time, Gray's follow-up troops had arrived twenty miles southeast of the town of Three Forks, and Gray chose to set up camp on a low slope, in order to prevent the troops from surrounding the enemy, Gray ordered to hollow out most of the back part of the low slope, and then set up a row of guard towers on the top of the low slope.

At the same time, all the weeds near the barracks must be dealt with first, because after autumn, these weeds are extremely easy to ignite, and the most important one is to dig a simple water channel, after the army fights, water is an indispensable resource.

Of course, Gray didn't have to worry about these specific matters, he only needed to choose one of the several camping sites given by the Vanguard Hanks Knights.

The large number of scouts sent out in advance had already brought back the general situation of the enemy's troops, and Gray analyzed from the few pieces of information that the enemy coalition was planning to take a defensive posture against him.

"Defense?" Gray stared at the map, "How long will Triforks' supplies last?"

Jeff was invited to attend the combat meeting, and when he heard Gray's question, he hurriedly replied: "It won't be more than half a month at most, because Lord Earl is in a hurry to send troops to Covinde, and he hasn't gathered a lot of logistics supplies!"

Hearing this, Gray wrinkled, lightly tapped his fingers on the map of Tripart, and then said, "Judging from the general deployment of the enemy's troops, their purpose is obvious, which is to trap Trichadens!"

"In front of us, the enemy army must have deployed heavy troops, and they have been building fortifications here for nearly three days in a row, it will be difficult for us to break through in the short term, but if we attack strongly, we are afraid that our troops will be killed at all!" Sir Sven's rational analysis.

After a pause, Sir Sven pointed to the enemy line ahead of the map and added, "Moreover, they can increase this line at any time!"

"If you can send someone to Trichaels Town to inform Lord Earl that there is a great possibility of breaking through this defense line by attacking inside and outside, and there are still two thousand soldiers on our other side, I guess they should still be there!"

Knight Jeff pointed to a jungle on the other side of the enemy's position on the map, "This jungle is rich in resources, if it were me, I would definitely lead the troops to lurk in, even if there are no logistics resources, it will be no problem to support it for ten days and half a month." ”

"This is simply impossible, I'm sure Baron Duru's blockade of the Three Forks is ten times stronger than the walls of the royal capital of Suke! and, with all due respect, even if all of those two thousand soldiers survive, their combat effectiveness is unknown!"

"But no matter how difficult it is, we must attack this front, and quickly, so that we can reduce the pressure on the defenders of Trichadens and buy them time. Knight Hanks wisely offered his opinion.

No one disagreed with him, this was the most obvious issue, and everyone waited for Gray's decision.
