Chapter 047: An Arrow Pierces the Heart

In the dead of night, the Coalition garrison was brightly lit in the lord's tent, where all the generals gathered for a meeting to discuss the siege plan for tomorrow. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A tall infantry captain pointed to the parchment map on the table and said, "Lord, since Bill wants to defend to the east, and the spies say that the fortifications have been dug like this, we might as well detour to the Winmir Plateau to the north and attack from the north, even though it is the natural barrier of Robin City, which is better than us fighting the Peace Army from the front." ”

Kenny dragged his chin and kept his index finger brushing his beard, "Attacking from the front will indeed cause heavy losses, but Mike is to the south of us, if we attack tomorrow and Ryan doesn't come to reinforce us, we can form a flanking attack, if we go around to the north, Mike attacks first, and he has Ryan behind him to reinforce him, and the cavalry regiment may be attacked on its back." ”

Lawrence nodded and said, "The lord is right, if we are separated, we will not be able to take care of each other, and there are Reese cultists on the Winmill Plateau, and they are not easy to mess with." ”

Kenny jerked his head up, "I thought of a good idea! Maybe get that guy Bill to kneel at the gate to welcome us into town, haha!"

Everyone gave Kenny expectant looks, their leader was always a risky move, and his endless tricks and formations often yielded good results.

"I sent spies the other day to report that Bill had moved his only wife out of Robin, and that if he sent a small troop of cavalry west from the Winmir Plateau to the north, and captured her, I don't believe he would dare to resist. Kenny smiled wickedly.

"You're crazy! Kenny, we have more troops than Bill, and now you're going to kidnap the wife of the other general's as a threat, if the word gets out, what will people think of you?" Lawrence rejected Kenny's offer.

"If I alone bear the infamy and keep more of the Union soldiers alive, I'm willing to bear the consequences. ”

"I don't agree, Kenny, we have time to come up with a better way, it's our army that is pressing down now, it's not Bill who is attacking us, if Uncle Andrew is still alive now, he will definitely give you two slaps to wake you up, you can't afford this consequence, the reputation of the Dalton family for two hundred years is not..."

"Is reputation really that important compared to the lives of Union soldiers?"

After Kenny finished speaking, no one in the tent answered, it was obvious that this was indeed detrimental to the dignity of the lord, and Kenny, who had always been strong, did not wait for everyone to reply, and immediately ordered the best cavalry to be drawn into an elite squad.

"Lawrence, I want you to take a trip, I don't feel at ease when others go. Kenny asked Lawrence for his opinion.

"Hey, you're the leader, you have the final say. ”

Although Lawrence was reluctant to do such a thing, Kenny's words were reasonable, and it did allow more soldiers to survive.

Lawrence mounted his horse and led a group of soldiers into the darkness. Kenny stood where Lawrence had left, the campfire in front of his tent was blown by the wind, and from here he looked north, the towering mountains seemed to cover everything, and Kenny prayed in his heart that Lawrence would return safely.

The late autumn wind blew Lawrence's face, although the wind in the north was not as clammy and cold as the wasteland, but it was more likely to crack the skin, and it was about to enter winter, and every time they ran to a certain distance, the temperature around them would also drop, Lawrence and the cavalry galloped on the mountain road, and the higher and higher altitude made them start to lack oxygen, and their heads hurt like an explosion.

It's been a week since the Confederates arrived in Robin City, and Lawrence and his party need to get to the west of Robin City faster, and while the kidnapping of wives and children sounds like a lot of fuck, it seems that the latter is a little more important than the lives of the soldiers.

Since ancient times, if this battle is defeated, even if this matter will become a topic of conversation for some people after dinner, people will remember more Kenny brought freedom to this continent, and along the way, Lawrence kept brainwashing himself to ask for forgiveness from Namu God.

Lawrence's eyes were a little blurry after being blown by the high altitude wind all night, and he vaguely saw the light of torches in the distance, how could there be torches at this altitude that humans could not live at all, Lawrence immediately slowed down.

The torches in the distance were getting closer and closer, and the mountain road where Lawrence and his party were located was very spacious, although it was winding, but there was little shelter around, and the sound of horses' hooves could already be heard in the strong wind, and it seemed that there were quite a few people.

The group dismounted one after another, and hid halfway up the hill on the side of the mountain road, and the sound of horses' hooves gradually became clear, and the experienced cavalry said, "Duke Lawrence, it sounds like there must be at least thirty people, and we and you are only thirteen, so let's not have a conflict." ”

Lawrence listened to the cavalryman's words and stared straight at the turn. A large group of black-clad men appeared in view, their identities were not discernible from their clothing, but it was certain that they were not the Peace Army, and their horses had no wings.

In this plateau, where air was already scarce, everyone held their breaths tightly, the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, the speed of the group seemed to slow down, and the hearts of the cavalry were in their throats.

"Don't hide, come out!"

A strange man's voice resounded on the plateau, this voice was simply the call of death for Lawrence and his party, they rushed here overnight, they were exhausted, they wanted to rest at a lower altitude in front of them, but they ran into this group of unknown people, if they really clashed with this group of people, whether it was physical strength or numbers, they did not have any advantage.

Lawrence led the horse up the hill, a middle-aged man wearing a black turban and a mink coat looked at him, Lawrence did not speak, his hand was already slowly touching the dagger behind his waist.

"Don't be nervous, Duke Lawrence, we're from the Church of Reese, and a friend asked me to give Lord Kenny a gift. The man in black turned to the person behind him and said, "Bring it here!"

The two men in black brought up a coarse sack tightly sealed, Lawrence didn't know what was in the bag, he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with suspicion, thinking back to what the man said, Lord Kenny, friends, gifts, does Kenny have such friends? Lawrence asked himself in his heart.

"It's been delivered, you can take it back. After the man had finished speaking, he rode in the direction of the man behind him.

The cavalrymen looked at each other, and Lawrence pulled out the dagger from his waist and cut the rope that tied the sack, revealing a human head from the sack.
