Chapter 17: Reinforcements from the Empire Arrive Early
"We hold on, we hold on!" I don't know who shouted, and in an instant the emotions of the soldiers were driven to a climax. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
All the soldiers couldn't help but laugh, even the seriously wounded faces were full of smiles, without the slightest hint of pain.
"The whole army obeyed the order and retreated to the city first!" Tang Xiao ordered, and all the soldiers retreated to the north gate in an orderly manner.
This was a wonderful victory, a battle that could not have been won by a huge disparity in strength, but I didn't expect it to be staged in this marginal town of the Barron Empire, which was not accidental, but a victory brought about by the indestructible fighting spirit of three hundred soldiers.
The soldiers retreated, Tang Xiao wiped the sweat and blood on his face, it was almost evening at this time, the fire clouds on the horizon spread again, and the entire maple forest looked so beautiful, at this moment Tang Xiao felt that life was better than anything else.
"Young Master, let's go too, just let Barlow bring a few people to guard here!" Aubrey greeted Tang with a smile.
"Okay!" Tang Xiao patted Barlow's shoulder with his backhand: "It's hard!"
"Young master, it's my duty, you go back and have a good rest!" Barlow saluted and sent Tang Xiao away.
After this battle, Tang Xiao is no longer the child he used to be, in the eyes of these soldiers, Tang Xiao is a commander, a commander who led them to a legendary victory.
"Father, you're not hurt, are you?" Tang Xiao asked with concern as he walked up to the baron.
"Haha...... I really underestimated you kid before, but I didn't expect to be so fierce on the battlefield, and even the sword of a third-level warrior dared to take it. The baron patted his chest to indicate that he was okay, and then joked at Don.
"Hey, if it weren't for your arrival in time, father, my little life would be there!" said the group as they walked towards the north gate.
North Gate ......
If you want to say that the battle is won, the civilians of Maple Town should come out to greet them, and now the north gate is quite desolate, only a thin figure is standing in the sunset, and his two hands can't help pinching the hem of his skirt, with a look of fear and worry.
"Betty......" Tang Xiao beckoned to Betty with his helmet.
Betty under the north gate looked up sharply and suddenly rushed towards Tang Xiao. "Brother Truth, Brother Truth, are you okay!"
The crying pear blossom brought rain, curled up on Tang Xiao's chest like a kitten.
"It's okay, everyone's okay, we've won!" Tang Xiao patted Betty on the back of her chest to comfort her.
"These two children...... It's good to be young!" the baron smiled and gestured to the two men who were hugging each other and Aubrey went first.
"Silly girl, my father is laughing at us, can't you get up?" Tang Xiao helped Betty up from her chest and wiped her tears.
"No, people didn't ......cry," he said, wiping his tears and laughing.
"Let's go, go back to the Baron's Mansion first, I'll wait to eat your meal, I'm starving!" Holding the helmet in one hand and pulling Betty in the other, he walked towards the Baron's Palace.
......
Fearing a surprise attack by the enemy at night, all the soldiers were stationed at the south gate. Counting the casualties, more than 50 people were seriously wounded, nearly 100 were slightly wounded, and a few soldiers were so badly injured that they died before they could be treated.
All in all, only about one hundred and forty people were intact, but compared to the enemy's loss of nearly seven hundred soldiers, this was already a very big victory, and the casualties were also very low, which was entirely due to the mecha made by Tang Xiao.
As night fell, the soldiers were talking and eating barbecue around the campfire, and although many were injured, everyone had a smile on their faces.
Baron's Court ......
When Tang Xiao returned to the Baron's Mansion, he found that the servants and maids in the Baron's Mansion had run out, and Tang Xiao smiled self-deprecatingly.
The reality is that no one will wait to die in the face of the threat of death, although these fleeing servants and maids all think that the battle will not be won, and to stay is to die, but a miracle has appeared.
After a long wait, Betty finally brought a sumptuous dinner to the table.
"Eat, uncle!" said Betty, placing the baron's dinner in front of him.
"Well, Betty, you girl is reliable, and the food you cook is delicious. The baron smiled, picked up the utensils, and ate.
There was not a single servant in the entire dining room, except for Tang Xiao and the three, only Aubrey was left.
"Brother Truth, it's yours. ”
"Sit down and eat, don't be busy. Tang Xiao beckoned Betty to sit down, and put some dishes on Betty's plate.
Betty was happy at this moment, and winning the battle meant that she could live a good life in the future, and there was no feeling of parting from life and death.
Everyone was extremely hungry, and Tang Xiao hadn't eaten for a day, and just as a few people were eating, a meat ball tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground with a bang.
"Wangcai?" Tang Xiao put down the tableware and looked back, isn't this meat ball Wangcai!, "You didn't run away?"
"Less...... Young master, how can I escape, I Wangcai has long said that I will go wherever you go. Wangcai got up and patted the dust on the ground.
"Then why did I see you now, why did you go just now?" Tang asked with a puzzled smile.
"Oops...... Don't you know, young master, after you and the baron issued the certificate, the baron's mansion was immediately chaotic, and those servants who watched the honest one by one packed up their things and ran faster than anyone else, to dissuade them, saying that they would win, but no one listened, and they all left. Later, the Empire came, and the messenger delivered the letter and left. As he spoke, Wangcai took out a small money bag and a letter from his bosom. "This is a letter from the messenger of the Empire, and this is the money I have recovered. ”
Tang Xiao took the letter and handed it to the baron. "The money recovered?" Tang smiled puzzled.
"That's right, young master, the old man who took care of the treasury took all the gold coins away when he left, and I chased it for a long time to catch it back, and that old thing was killed by me with a brick!" Wangcai's face was crossed, and his two little eyes kept looking at the dinner on the table.
"Okay! Well done, let's sit here and eat together!" Tang Xiao stood up and patted Wangcai's shoulder to sit down.
"I ...... Can I really sit down and eat with the young master and the baron?" Wangcai looked at Tang Xiao in disbelief.
It's good for a lowly servant to have something to eat, and there is even a time to sit and eat with his master, which makes Wangcai a little unbelievable.
After reading the letter, the baron looked at Wangcai. "Sit down and have something to eat!"
"Thank you...... Thank you, Lord Baron!" Wangcai hurriedly moved a chair and sat next to Tang Xiao.
"The letter says that the Imperial reinforcements will arrive early, around noon tomorrow, so that we can be ready to meet them. The baron ate and said the contents of the letter.
"That couldn't be better. ”
"Hurry up and rest after eating, tomorrow morning it is estimated that there will be a final battle. So saying, the baron finished the food on his plate, got up, and went to the bedroom.
Aubrey quickly finished eating and left.
"Betty, you should also finish eating and go to bed early, tomorrow when the imperial reinforcements arrive, our task of defending the city will be completed, and I will take you out for a walk when the time comes." ”
"I'm not too tired, Brother Truth, you go to rest first, and I'll bring you some hot water to wash up. Betty said with a soft smile.
After the two of them finished eating, Wangcai ate the leftovers on the table.
Tang Xiao returned to his room to rest, he was so tired these days, he hadn't had a good rest for a long time, and he fell asleep lying on the bed before he had time to take off his clothes.
