Chapter 21: Attacked

"Doctor, what's there to eat today?" said Sola Occam's humble voice as everyone dismounted and prepared to rest. Since one day a group of people ate the lunch prepared by Yan O'Feliel for everyone, they can no longer look down on the big pot of rice in the barracks, although there is a special chef in the prince's palace, but it is much worse than Yan O'Feliel, since then a group of people began to pay attention to when Yan O'Feliel will cook, because he has been training before, so he usually has few opportunities to taste, and after this expedition, especially after the challenge, Yan O'Feliel suddenly became much more interested in the arrangement of the meal. So for the past few days, the food for the team has been arranged by Yan Ofeliel. Not only is her food delicious, but it is also much better than the army's big pot rice for long-term recovery, which is a big reason why everyone has been thinking about it.

"No...... What ......" Soranyan Ofeliel was much more cheerful than before, but still not quite used to Sola Occam's cheap voice, and still said weakly.

"Boom............" As Yan Ofeliel was about to take out the prepared lunch, a deafening voice came from the mountain pass, and the whole road followed the sound, and the small pass between them was now covered with boulders. The scout teams sent out by von Aire had only just begun to reconnoiter the peaks on either side.

"Defend the formation, be careful!" von Aire and Roland shouted at the same time. As the words of Roland and the others fell, I saw that the scout team in the distance fell to the ground one after another, and everyone in the transport team also established a basic defensive formation at the same time, but before everyone was ready, a rain of arrows flew from the slopes on both sides, and the formation that had just been a little bit was instantly disrupted, and the von Aire squadron in the middle of the team suffered a concentrated blow, because they were too attention-grabbing, and the squadron of more than 200 people fell more than ten people in an instant. The Whispering squad is relatively good, and because they are at the end of the line, far from the middle of the battlefield, they receive little to no attack.

"Assemble the chariot formation, organize the rest of the baggage wagons, and shrink the defense. Seeing this, von Ahr immediately made a relative change. Due to the long line of the entire transport force, it did not form a deliberate car formation, but divided into several sections of their own defense, with von Aire's middle force being the most powerful, while the other car formations were relatively small, and Roland and the others were at the end of the team, so they only organized a small car formation. At the same time as von Eyre gave the order, a large group of men and horses appeared from a distance and on the slopes of the hills on both sides, and under the cover of bows and arrows, they were advancing in a rapid and orderly manner towards the position of the transport troops, and no less than 2,000 hostile men were expected to attack. At this time, the wounded troops who had gone to the rear for treatment also joined the defensive troops, those with weapons directly joined the battle sequence, those who could hold weapons without weapons also joined the battle after picking up the weapons of the fallen soldiers, and those who did not have combat power filled the gaps in the defense with their own bodies. Although the transport force was taken by surprise at first, it gradually stabilized the enemy's attack with the efforts of everyone, and the number of personnel was not much less than that of the enemy. For a while, arrows rained down from the road, and from time to time people who were hit by arrows fell to the ground, and some could no longer move. Some fell to the ground and groaned in pain, relatively speaking, Roland's side was a little better, and many people did not make a sound to affect the team even if they were hit by arrows.

"Sister Yan'er, don't be nervous, just think you're training. In this battle, Roland slowly persuaded Yan O'Felil, since the beginning of the battle, Yan O'Felil's whole person was full of panic, looking at the soldiers who fell from time to time around him, for a while Yan O'Feliel didn't know what he should do, fight back or treat, and repeatedly entangled in Yan O'Feliel's heart. And Yan Ofeliel felt that she couldn't let herself shoot at these rushing personnel, although she only hated them, but it was also a life, and for a while Yan Ofeliel stood on the battlefield.

"Sister Yan'er!" Roland shouted after Roland blocked an incoming arrow for Roland again, and as Roland shouted, Yan Ofeliel seemed to have found his way, and his unfocused eyes gradually focused on Roland's face.

"Sister Yan'er, pick up the courage to fight, you must know that every time you knock down an enemy, you will save many soldiers, this is the best treatment for everyone. Seeing Yan O'Feliel's eyes gradually coming back to his senses, Roland encouraged again.

Looking at the tragic pictures around her, familiar pictures appeared in front of Yan O'Felil's eyes for a while: a gentle mother, a kind father, a coachman she had just met, etc., etc., Yan O'Feliel knew at this time that no amount of sympathy could save everyone, and she had to be merciful to her own people, but fierce to her enemies. When Yan Ofeliel raised the small bow and crossbow in her hand, there was no longer the same look of confusion in her eyes, only the determination, and the arrows that flew out strengthened her faith. After seeing that Yan O'Feliel was back to his rightful state, Roland began to pay attention to the battlefield, this was his first real battle, no longer the previous sand table and simulation challenges, and if he was not careful, there was no turning back.

It was also during the time that Roland persuaded Yan O'Feliel that the two sides of the battle had really come into contact and started a white-knuckle battle. Roland's car formation also encountered a small group of enemy attacks, because of the wrong estimation of Roland's combat effectiveness in their car formation, so this small group of enemies did not cause much trouble to Roland, and was quickly solved by everyone. And when Roland looked at the other battlefields, he found that some small car formations had been broken by the enemy, and only the fighters in the car formation were left to resist to the death, but there was no sound of resistance for a long time. The enemy who eliminated the small car formation did not attack the nearby car formation, but continued to look for the next small car formation to fight. Seeing this, Roland frowned deeply, from the beginning of the enemy's orderly attack pace made Roland feel strange, and at this time, seeing the enemy's battle strategy made Roland have a huge suspicion, this is not like a group of bandits can have combat qualities.

"Your Royal Highness, something is not quite right. After once again dealing with an enemy force that was attacking Roland and the others, E. Ward came to Roland and whispered that when Roland looked at the rest of the team, everyone was also suspicious. And the original logistics troops in the car array were even more unbelievable. Except for Roland and Yan O'Felil, who had never been on the battlefield, the rest of the Whispering Team were elite soldiers who had gone through at least one annual bandit suppression operation, and seeing their suspicions, Roland's uneasiness deepened. In the entire attacking force, there is no shortage of personnel who have reached the level of Halo to participate in the battle, and the damage they cause will always be in the weak point of defense, Roland knows that the remaining bandits are all strong, fierce and cunning, but he is not so luxurious as to take the Halo to participate in this kind of battle. Originally, Roland planned to discuss with von Ahr whether the next station would be arranged, but because the central train formation where the team was located was too far away, Roland did not have a good way to discuss the matter with von Ayr, but seeing von Ahr's deep brows from a distance, Roland also knew that this enemy attack was not so simple. At this time, the original car formation, some were several small car formations combined to form a large car formation, and some were slowly dying out under the enemy's attack. And every breached car formation did not leave a single living hole.

"Your Royal Highness, think of a way, we will definitely not be able to hold it if we continue like this. Just as Roland was thinking, Sora Occam said anxiously, at this time, there were no other car formations on the battlefield except for a few large car formations, and Roland and their location were an exception, but after repeatedly losing a large number of personnel, the car formation where Roland and others were also attracted the attention of the enemy, and slowly after holding back several large car formations, more and more enemies began to attack Roland's car formation.

"The enemy in this kind of battle must have a command center, and the command ability of the enemy who commanded the operation this time is not weak at all, so we have to find a way to find this command and destroy it, otherwise there is only a dead end. Roland said after seeing the enemy in the distance begin to pay attention to his side.

"But how did you find this command? The enemy is attacking from three sides, and if we are on the side of the pass, we will have no other way but to retreat. E. Ward said.

"It's unlikely that the pass will be there, because it's too far away to be easy to command. At this time, Meng Feral said lightly, "It should be in the mountains on both sides of this road, but I don't know which side, and we only have one chance, if we go to the wrong side, we will still lose." ”

"This command should be able to fully observe the battle situation on the entire road, and it should be relatively hidden, hey~~ I knew that this would be a good time to familiarize myself with the terrain. Rowe Nice said in a tangled voice.

"World ...... His Royal Highness, the small, the little one knows that there is ...... here There is one place that fits better. At this time, a soldier of the logistics support unit who was silently defending on the side said uncertainly.

"Are you sure?" asked Roland.

"I know there's one, there's a place where you have a good view of the whole road down the hill, and, and it's not easy to spot. I just don't know if it's the place you're looking for," the warrior said, still unconfident.

"Tell me about that place, and we'll take a look. Roland encouraged.

"On the hill on the left, there is a path fifty meters behind us that goes halfway up the mountain, and since no one has walked that road, the whole path is overgrown with weeds, and no one can see it unless you go in and look closely. Halfway up the mountain, you can see a cave not far from above, and there is a platform outside the cave, because the maple trees around it are unusually tall, and the cave is well hidden by the maple trees, so you will only think that it is a stone from below. As if encouraged, the warrior spoke much more sharply than before.

"How did you find out there?" Ro Ide asked faintly.

"This ......," the warrior said hesitantly.

"Speak, say it and count you not guilty. Seeing the warrior's embarrassed expression, Roland said.

"Keiyu Shizi, this was discovered by me and another warrior, we were also on an escort mission at the time, and the two of us originally wanted to hunt some game while resting here...... "The warrior said with his head down, and the more he spoke, the softer his voice became. Roland knew that in Blair's territory, military personnel were not allowed to leave the unit too far without special reasons when they had a mission, and violators were demoted lightly, transferred to the next level of troops, and seriously tried or executed. That's why the fighter hesitated when asked why.

"What about the other warrior?" Ro Ed continued. At this time, the warrior did not speak, but looked at a corpse outside the car array full of tears, and everyone followed his gaze to the corpse, the corpse was lying on the ground with its head towards the car array, and several feather arrows were stuck in its back, and his hands seemed to be pushing something forward, but at this time he was lying there quietly, lifeless.

"He's my eldest brother, and I found it with him, and he died so that I could hide in the car......" At this point, the warrior could no longer cry.

"What's your name, soldier?" asked Roland Masase.

"The son of Qiyu, the little one is called Fair. The warrior named Fell stopped crying and replied in a whisper.

"What do you think?" asked Roland, turning to the crowd.

"Fight. If not, then you can only accept your fate, rather than looking for it, it is better to gamble. The irascible Solo Christine said, and the rest of the crowd stood firmly.

"Okay, Fell, you lead the way, the team members are ready, we break through the back, and then detour, Fair, you stay in the middle of the team first, and then you come out to lead the way when you get to the place. Seeing that everyone had made up their minds, Roland ordered. At this time, there were still more than 20 people in the entire car formation who still had the strength to fight, and nearly 50 or 60 people in the distance rushed to the car formation.

"Your Royal Highness, if you break through as planned, let us delay the enemy's attack. While everyone was planning how to break out, one of the wounded soldiers on the side said firmly to Roland. "We can be regarded as people who have died once, and it is not convenient for you to bring us after breaking through the siege, we have abandoned our original companions and survived on our own, so let's fight well again. At this time, Roland didn't know how to speak, only said softly, "take care", although Roland knew what would happen to the people left behind after everyone broke through, but Roland knew that this was a war, not a play, and a moment of hesitation may never have a chance to turn back. After saying that he took care, Roland never looked at the wounded soldiers again, not because he didn't want to look, but he didn't dare to look at it.

Everyone silently prepared, waiting for Roland's order to start a new raid.
