Chapter 96: Assassination

"The Silver Knights are well-armed and well-trained...... However, we also have an advantage. Meng Fan looked at the French army from afar, "Our army is six times larger than the Silver Knights, and we also have archers, the Silver Knights are mainly composed of cavalry and infantry, as long as our archers can play a role, we can win this battle."www.biquge.info ”

Meng Fan had 30,000 territorial troops under his command, while the Silver Knights only had 5,000 people, and Meng Fan's side also had a great advantage, that is, there were 2,000 archers in the army of the Black Rock City territory.

When he began to form the Black Rock City Territory Army, Meng Fan referred to the experience of playing computer games on Earth, and Meng Fan paid attention to the diversity of troops. There are 3,000 cavalry, 2,000 archers, and the remaining 25,000 are all types of infantry, such as pikemen, light infantry, and heavy infantry.

The Archer is the long-range firepower output of the battlefield, and Meng Fan's army is completely superior to the Silver Knights at least in terms of long-range output.

"Sortie. Drawing her sword, Sophia, the leader of the Silver Knights, swung her sword and pointed forward, "Spread out your formation and meet the enemy." Black Rock City Territory Army Commander Bogula ordered.

On the east side of Huquan Mountain, the Black Rock City Territory Army and the Silver Knights are about to start a fierce battle, and at the same time, the camp of the Gilgidian royal army on the top of Huquan Mountain.

The wooden gate of the camp was smashed open by the Francose army, and the Franc soldiers poured into the camp like a tidal wave.

"General Guterny, the Kyrgyians fled westward. Adjutant Irus rode his horse and galloped to report, "Pursuit, we will take advantage of the situation to occupy the entire Huquan Mountain, including the gold mine to the west." Guterny ordered loudly with a swing of his hammer.

In a clearing outside Huquan Mountain, "General Herman, take a break, we have escaped from Huquan Mountain......" Dorne, the commander of the Purple Sun City Territory Army, spoke, and Herman, the commander of the Gilgidian royal army, who had been running all the way for two hours on horseback, agreed to Dorne's request.

Two hours earlier, when the French army was about to break through the camp at the top of Huquan Mountain, Herman gave the order to retreat, and the French army was in hot pursuit, Herman asked his lieutenant Oram to lead his troops to hold the Farlans as long as possible, while Herman himself fled west with an escort of several hundred men.

Herman is a cousin of the Gilgidian king Landry, although he has served as the commander of this royal army for many years, but Herman has not really fought with the enemy, in the camp on the top of Huquan Mountain, Herman saw the French soldiers who kept pouring up to the top of the mountain in a panic, Herman did not want to lose his life on this Huquan Mountain, before the French army broke through the camp gate, Herman gave the order to retreat.

After two hours of galloping on horseback, Herman and his party had escaped from Huquan Mountain. Jumping off his mount, Herman took a large sip of the jug handed by the guard, wiped his mouth, and looked around, only a few hundred horsemen followed him.

"General Herman, let's wait here for a while, and wait for General Oram and them to come over," Dorne......, the commander of the Purple Sun Territory Army, began. "No, let's go to Giant Wood City ahead first, and we'll wait for Oram in Giant Wood City. Herman shook his head.

Herman was still in trepidation at the moment, and although Oram led his army to intercept the pursuit of the Fran army in the rear, Herman felt that it was safer to flee to Giant Wood City first.

After resting for a while, "Continue on your way, Giant Wood City is fifty miles ahead, and we will soon be able to enter Giant Wood City." Herman motioned for his men to follow him in the direction of Giant Wood City.

Rolling over and climbing onto the mount, Herman holding the reins in both hands. And at this moment, a black shadow quickly approached from the mountain forest on the side, "What is that?" Dorne, the commander of the Purple Sun City Territory Army, was the first to spot the black shadow.

Herman, who had just climbed onto his mount, turned his head, and a black shadow that flashed through the crowd arrived just in front of him, and Herman saw that it was a figure wrapped in black mist.

Exuding a black mist of death and ominous aura, Herman was horrified to find that in this black fog, there was a pair of blood-red eyes staring at him, and he pulled out the sword at his waist, Herman raised his sword and slashed towards the black mist in front of him.

Like passing through the air, this black fog is a disembodied phantom. "Dark ......" Herman just said two words, a twisted dark purple dagger suddenly stabbed out of the black mist, and the flesh and blood on Herman's body stabbed by the dark purple dagger quickly withered, and before the surrounding soldiers had time to react, the black mist quickly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

There was a muffled "thump", and Herman, who had been reduced to a dried corpse, fell from his horse.

――――――――――――

On the east side of Huquan Mountain, the battle between the Black Rock City Territory Army and the Silver Knights had already begun.

The well-equipped and skilled Silver Knights were like a torrent of steel, constantly impacting the front of the Black Rock City Territory Army.

"Shoot the arrows, give me the arrows. Meng Fan, who was restless in his heart, shouted loudly to the archers in the back row, his 30,000 territorial army was beaten back by the 5,000 French army, and Meng Fan finally saw the power of the Silver Knights.

Arrows rained down on the center of ......the battlefield, and most of the Silver Knights were wearing thick armor, and the arrows fired by the Gilgian archers did not do much damage to these Silver Knights.

"Lord Claude, the situation is very unfavorable for us. Tiberius saw that the Silver Knights were gaining the upper hand in battle.

Meng Fan looked at his territorial army that was constantly being repulsed with a pale face, although Meng Fan had 30,000 territorial troops, but after all, this army had only been formed for a short time, and it had not been tested by the war, so it could not withstand the attack of the Silver Knights at all.

"Someone, go and give the order to retreat. Meng Fan said to the herald, this time it was his own miscalculation, Meng Fan underestimated the strength of the Silver Knights, in front of six times their own strength, the Silver Knights did not fear at all, but became more and more courageous, completely suppressing the territory army of Black Rock City.

Riding on a white horse and wielding a spear, Gerald, the commander of the French army, easily took the lives of five or six Gilgidian soldiers.

"Gerald, the Gilgias have retreated. Sophia, the head of the Silver Knights, spoke, looking up ahead, and Gerald saw a young man on a horse, and the golden goshawk banner representing Claude Kuru, Lord of Blackstone, fluttered behind the young man.

Jumping off his horse, Gerald held the silver Wind Spear in both hands, took a step forward with his left leg, and raised the Wind Lance over his shoulder, and a cyan fighting spirit erupted from Gerald's body.

Gerald's gaze was fixed on the young man who had fled south on horseback, and he leaned back, Gerald gathered all the strength of his body on his arms, and Gerald's high-raised Ling Feng Spear was wrapped in the wind fighting energy.

"Phew" Gerald threw his arms forward with a forceful flick and threw his weapon, the Wind Lance, at the young black-haired man hundreds of meters away, and the rolling waves of air rolled up the dust around Gerald.
