Pier Shahaha laughed: "Well, very good, you guys be careful, don't be a trap, send five scout teams, led by you, patrol the neighborhood, don't chase the enemy too much, we just need to ensure the safety of this canyon, it is a great achievement." ”

The scout leader took the order.

Four days later, the infantry was in place, and Pirsa personally led the infantry to the hills on both sides of the gorge to prevent the troops of Oro from breaking through the canyon.

After a whole day of tossing and turning, it was finally set up, and Pilsha was ready to rest for the night before setting off for the city of Oro.

At this time, one of the guards reported: "My lord, the scouts reported that they suffered a big loss during the patrol, and only two of the five squads of scouts sent out, and the scout team leader died. ”

Pilsha wondered, "Didn't you say that the enemy was weak?"

"Our scouts encountered about ten squads of the enemy, about two hundred cavalry in total, and these enemy cavalry were not only strong, but also very experienced, and almost surrounded our scouts. ”

Pilsha was depressed and said, "So, are the enemy's original six hundred enemy horsemen still there?"

The guard said, "It seems to be gone, as if they haven't been there since they saw us set up camp." ”

Pilsha couldn't understand what was going on, he was a little upset, he didn't know that intelligence was always bad, so he sent another team of 100 people, divided into ten groups, as scouts, and then went to the front to investigate, and only told them not to engage the enemy.

While Pilsha was sitting in the tent eating and drinking, the cavalry of the Centurion was brought back.

The cavalry leader was a little discouraged, and as soon as he entered the big tent, he reported: "My lord, we have not been able to obtain information about the enemy on the plain, and the enemy's scouts have blocked us. ”

Pilsha frowned and asked him to step back, then called the quartermaster and the knight commander, and asked, "Have the auxiliaries for logistics supplies arrived?"

The quartermaster said, "I guess it's noon tomorrow." ”

Piersha said to the cavalry commander, "What do you think?"

The cavalry commander smiled slightly, and said: "My lord, we know very well the strength of Oro City, and now Lord Saiwei must be almost approaching Oro, where can they place too many troops here, they just want to slow down our advance." ”

When Pilsha heard this, he said, "That makes sense, but we don't need to hurry up at all, we just need to advance steadily." ”

The cavalry commander said: "Your Excellency is wise, and the stronger side can win if it is cautious. ”

Pilsha smiled proudly and said, "You will set out tomorrow morning, take a thousand knights, go to protect the supplies, and then pull the infantry on the mountain down fifteen hundred, since there is no large enemy here, it is enough to leave five hundred soldiers on the mountain." When you come back, we'll go to Oro City. In addition, let the magic apprentices on the mountain use magic signals every day to communicate, and make sure that my lord and I know about the situation in the canyon. ”

The cavalry commander gave orders to prepare, and Pilsha simply sent scouts to patrol around the camp to ensure that the camp was not attacked by the enemy.

The next day when the weather was calm and a large number of supplies arrived in the camp, Pilsha led his army and released five hundred cavalry as the vanguard, two kilometers apart, and the forward cavalry also released sentinels. Pressing the speed towards the city of Oro.

Of course, Raphael and his cavalry came to the canyon pass.

The people on the plains, almost everyone can ride horses, and those who can't afford to raise horses at home will also go to learn, he is to let six hundred members of the garrison who can ride horses, ride Luo Fei's wildebeest, and go to the canyon early as a suspicious army, and sure enough, the enemy has been divided into troops, and now, these six hundred garrison members have returned to Luo Fei, and after they handed over the wildebeest to Luo Fei according to the number of people, they will go to Oro City to assist in the defense.

Edmund's infantry will be able to reach Oro City in two days, Raphael must be fast now, if not, the operation can only be abandoned, go back to Oro City to attack Edmund's infantry, and then return to the city to defend and fight Edmund's men head-on.

Gloria and the female guards have already returned to Oro City, now that the empty riders are gone, Goroli is basically safe, and she can still assist in the defense when she goes to Oro, which is much better than useless. Valerie also returned to the necromantic plane. Only Loren followed.

Raphael led the cavalry to the old barracks by the river to resupply, and each cavalry tied a plank under the blanket of horses.

After resting for the night, before dawn, the cavalry set out again.

Raphael's plan was only a rough idea of his subordinates, and the details were not too clear, and when the cavalry passed the stone arch bridge of the Oro River, Arnold said: "Do you want to tear down the bridge?" ”

Raphael laughed, "Why are you holding them back? This is our bridge, and it costs a lot of gold to build one." ”

Arnold thought about it and said no more.

The Oro cavalry crossed the bridge and marched until it was already dawn, when they met the elite of St. Paul, who had been deployed here, and Raphael gathered them into his own army.

In this way, he has more than 2,000 cavalry, and in the previous battle, he lost more than 100 people, but after he asked these elites, he was not high-spirited, no matter how well he trained, he must have an advantage in order to achieve the greatest results, otherwise it is just the courage of a reckless man.

Raphael said: "According to the scouts, the enemy is steadily advancing, and they have more than 1,800 cavalry and 1,500 infantry, and their marching methods are difficult to surprise them. It was expected that the enemy would be here in an hour, and we did not need to fight to the death, but after a battle with the enemy's striker, we retreated when we encountered the main force, pretending to be afraid of the enemy, and retreated to the barracks by the Oro River. Then he outlined his plan.

The cavalry were now obedient to Raphael, and the army set out again, and it was not long before they encountered the forward cavalry of Pilsha.

As soon as Pirsha's forward cavalry saw the Oro cavalry, they immediately retreated, which was Pilsha's order.

Seeing that there was no chance of annihilating the enemy's cavalry, the Oro cavalry followed the enemy's retreating forward.

Having approached the enemy's main force, the Oro cavalry stopped at a great distance and formed their formation.

Pilsha gathered all the cavalry, set up a formation, and said, "These damn buns, let them taste it today!"

At the sound of an order, the three mages who followed him used their flying skills, and then Pyrsha led his cavalry to charge towards the Oro cavalry in the distance.

The Oro cavalry unleashed a wave of crossbow arrows from beyond range, many of which could not reach Piersha's men, causing Pyrsha to laugh wildly.

After releasing the arrows, Raphael ordered a retreat.

Seeing that there were so many Oro cavalry, it was obvious that the main force was here, and St. Paul's personal guards must be fighting against Sevi, right? If there were some more who slipped through the net, it would be impossible for them to be able to defeat the 1,500 infantry and 500 auxiliaries behind him, so he gave the order to pursue with confidence.

Raphael really fled all the way, he didn't expect Pir Sha to be so fierce, and he actually pursued it so under a judgment.

After trying to escape, before noon arrived, Raphael and the others returned to the old barracks, and as soon as they entered the camp, they immediately closed the camp gates.

Pilsha chased excitedly, and he only arranged for a hundred men to build a defensive barrier on the stone arch bridge, in case Raphael and he went around in a circle to attack the infantry behind, and chased all the way down.

Before arriving at the camp, he saw that the camp was very strong everywhere, but the camp gate was very simple, and he smiled: "They don't even have time to do a good defense, so they will attack directly, and let these dirt buns see how the cavalry attack the village." ”

Five hundred cavalry immediately separated, and a squad of cavalrymen took out the hook from the horse's hip and rushed to the gate, and the cavalry behind them just shot in one round.

After the arrow was shot, there were no probes in the camp, and the hook hooked the gate smoothly, and the cavalry drove their horses together, and with a bang, the gate fell.

Pier Shaha laughed and led the cavalry into the camp, only to see that the Oro cavalry had slipped out of another gate.

He scolded fiercely, "These damn crystal rabbits!"

The commander of his knights said, "My lord, do you want to pursue again?"

The terrain in the camp is complicated, only familiar people can easily pass through the entire camp, Pilsha sighed and said: "Can't catch up, you see this camp is full of wood, and when we catch up, they have all entered Oro City, we can't attack the city directly, the bridge behind is so narrow, a hundred people are enough to block them, send scouts to patrol the direction of the bridge, in case they attack our infantry in a circle." The rest of the people rested in the camp, and went, and strengthened the four gates. ”

The knight commander said: "My lord, will there be any fraud, there are so many wood in this camp, if there is a fire at night, we will be in danger!"

Pilsha said, "Then put the wood up and ask someone to check if there is anything in the camp that can cause a fire." ”

The knight commander was ordered to go, and after a while he reported: "Everything is normal, except for more wood, which has been ordered to be piled up." ”

While Pilsha was tossing and turning in the camp, Raphael had come to the river where the camp could not be seen, and his cavalry took out the planks from under the blankets of the horses emblazoned with the brightly colored family coats of arms, and nailed them to the river.

As the impact of the summer flood becomes less and less, the water level is lower, and some wooden stakes on the river surface are slightly exposed, which is very suitable for crossing the river.

Raphael looked at Arnold and smiled: "At the beginning, the wooden stakes were set up one after another, which looked like training, but in fact they were to hinder the ships, and just in case, now they are really used, and we will kill their infantry." ”

Arnold and the knights beside him all smiled. Although Oro City is a little deserted, it has a tributary of the Oro River, and the water transportation is developed, which directly communicates with Yanjing and other principalities. If they win this battle, they will all get a good fief, and they will be real nobles.

Moreover, it should be more comfortable to become a nobleman here. This is not a place where soldiers must fight, if it weren't for Gloria here, it is estimated that no one would pay attention to this place, to put it bluntly, it is a small place in the countryside, just like Edmund's territory, it sounds big, but it is basically a deserted and useless place, and the five small city-states along the river are a little richer.

After the Oro cavalry crossed the pontoon bridge, the last group of cavalry was responsible for dismantling the pontoon bridge, but Raphael did not wait for them and led the cavalry directly to the Pilsha infantry.

Pilsha's infantry was bleeding, and when they met the Oro cavalry, they were still on the march, and they received news from the scouts that the front was safe, and that the Pilsha had captured the enemy horseman's camp and held the bridge.
