Chapter 228: Urgent Help

"Retreated?"

Listening to the soldiers returning from horseback talking about the news from the camp where the nobles in the south were stationed, Yir smiled softly, and sure enough, in the exhausted environment, he saw an army that he didn't know what to say, and his first reaction was really to run away?

'It's easy to guess, gentlemen. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info' Il thought disdainfully in his heart.

For this war, Il was originally nervous because of the limitation of food, but also felt the excitement, after all, compared with the battle he fought in Monferrato at that time, there is no doubt that the relationship between the forces is more complicated, and the size of the army has also expanded a lot, which is of course a stage for an ambitious young man like Il.

But now, Ilr is undoubtedly disappointed, all his expectations have been carried out by these nobles without change, he doesn't need to improvise at all, he just needs to watch them slowly fall into his own trap, which is boring for Il.

"Dzigar, go as planned. ”

Looking at the towering walls of Nomenkan in the distance, Il, who was obviously a little lacking in interest, struck the steel plate of the Viscount Zigar beside him with the horsewhip in his hand, and handed over the command to him, while Ilr put the mask around and stopped talking.

"Yes, sir. ”

Zigar nodded, and then said to the many nobles and knights around him, "Follow those troops from the south, let's go and talk to them." As soon as he pulled the reins, Dhigar followed Il and took the lead in the movement of the southern army, and those who had heard his orders by Dhigar's side also ran to all parts of the army, spreading Dhigar's orders.

The whole army moved quickly, and the original 150 people were scattered in a phalanx, and the battle formations separated from each other immediately moved closer to the central phalanx, and quickly gathered up the army that was originally in battle mode at a very fast speed, and chased after it in a jogging way towards the designated target.

The people on the city tower watched the enemy who was still confronting them run away in a hurry, and the huge army that suddenly appeared also ran away with their enemies without saying hello, one by one, like the onlookers who didn't know the truth, opening their mouths, their eyes about to fall to the ground, looking at the distance that quickly disappeared in front of them, leaving only a butt of dust, and were silent.

"Robert, what the hell is going on?"

When Fieldnan heard that a huge army was coming to the city of Nomenkan, he was practicing swordsmanship in his mansion, he was already very old, and he could no longer hold a sword, and as a nobleman, with the protection of many knights, he did not need to pick up the sword and wield it anymore, but the pace of the battle made him pick up his knight's sword again, so even if he was about to reach the age of the earth, he still had to pick up the sword and fight for his honor.

It was precisely for this reason that, after hearing the news, Fieldnan hurried to the top of the city on horseback, but when he climbed up to the top of the city, all he saw was a cloud of dust and some invisible flags and coats of arms, and other than that, it was the words of the soldiers on the city.

Whether it was the fat army mentioned in these words, or the purpose guessed by these soldiers, Fieldnan's heart was a little unbearable, so as soon as he climbed to the city wall, Fieldnan found Robert, hoping that he could explain it to himself.

An army suddenly appeared on his doorstep, and judging from the flying dust, there was definitely not much to go, and Fieldnan was naturally afraid, and the long war had already made the old gentleman's nerves fragile.

He can't afford to lose anymore, and at this time, an army of tens of thousands of people is absolutely fatal for him, and defeat is more unbearable torture than death.

"Fieldnan, I don't know what happened? I have never seen the flag of that army, it is not the flag of Piedmont, it is the army of other places. β€œ

Robert shook his head, witnessing the whole process of that army from appearance to disappearance, the shock in his heart was obviously more profound than that of Fieldnan, but the more carefully he observed, the more Robert doubted, the flag and family crest of that army were patterns he had never seen before, and he couldn't tell where it came from.

"You mean, this isn't our Piedmontese army?" asked Fieldnan.

"Yes, and I don't think anyone in Piedmont can gather such a large army now, which is tens of thousands, and this is definitely not something that a viscount can do, Fieldnan, they are from another place. Robert said firmly.

"Then what are they doing here? Why did they come and then follow the people from the south? Why didn't they come to attack us?"

Fieldnan hesitated for a moment, and finally asked the question he wanted to know, such a large army, if they were used against their own city, these soldiers who had been entrusted with the war as disabled could not be their opponents at all, maybe it would only take a few days for the city of Nomenkan to be breached, why didn't these people choose to attack them, but to pursue the people in the south?

"I don't know, Fieldnan. β€œ

Robert smiled bitterly and shook his head, Fieldnan's question was also the one he wanted to know the most now, but both of them were pitiful, because no one could answer them to this question, and only time would tell why Il did it.

Fieldnan's brows furrowed, and Robert's answer made Fieldnan very dissatisfied, how could he not know what a new army was here for?

A long time of fighting, will make the friends who originally lived by your side leave suddenly, and will also make your spirit fall into a situation that will collapse at any time, this is undoubtedly a very sharpening thing, people who can't go through the test, will fall into inexplicable irritability anytime and anywhere because of a small thing, this is Fieldnan at this moment, at this moment, he is already a little nonsensical when he speaks.

But fortunately, his reason still controlled his brain, and he didn't let him say something that would make Robert feel sorry for him, otherwise, Nomenkan might have mutiny at this moment.

Robert obviously noticed Fieldnan's situation, and even though Robert was tired now, he still thought about it and pretended to be relaxed:

"At least we can get some rest and a good night's sleep now, can't we? ”

"You're right, Robert, I think we can finally get some rest, hehe"

The two of them giggled for a while, and finally the sound became louder and louder, so that the soldiers next to them couldn't help but come back to their senses from the shock of the army just now, and saw why their lords were laughing so exaggeratedly, until the two of them finally laughed silently, only a red expression remained, and then stopped.

Sometimes, venting is the best way to calm your emotions.

"Robert, I'll leave it to you, I'm going to see where this army comes from, and what the beasts of the south want to do. ”

The hysterical laughter brought Fieldnan back to his senses, and as he looked at the smoke and dust in the distance, Fieldnan said to Robert.

"Well, I assure you, old man, that your banner will fly in the air at the head of the city of Nomenkan before you return. ”

Robert also knew that with his current physical condition, it was obviously unrealistic to follow Fieldnan to chase that army, so although he felt regretful, Robert could only agree to Fieldnan's opinion and wait for the old gentleman's return here.

"Don't worry, since this army has bypassed us to chase the southerners, then we are not the target of their attack, I will definitely be able to come back safely, I still have hundreds of cases of wine in my cellar, if I can't come back, but no one will drink it, and when the time comes, we will have to have a drink together." ”

Robert agreed to his plan, which made Fieldnan very happy, this period of contact, although Fieldnan regarded Robert as a brother, but the two of them still represent two forces, as if there is a pair of invisible hands pulling them too close, it has always been a relationship between there and nothing, far and near.

And now Robert's move of agreeing to stay undoubtedly shows that the man in front of him regards himself as a true friend, and at this critical moment, it is a happy thing for Fieldnan.

"Take care. Robert responded with a smile, no one can guarantee what will happen on the battlefield, especially in the field, the chance of death is very high, so Robert didn't say anything, just looked at the back of Fieldnan who was about to leave the city wall, and said softly.

This "take care" is to hope that Fieldnan can come back alive, but also hope that he can go back alive to see his wife and children, at this moment, Robert has changed from believing in himself to believing in the power of the gods.

Perhaps, this is what makes people feel hopeless about war, which makes people stop believing in themselves.

Seeing the city gate open and Fieldnan, under the protection of several knights, disappeared, Robert thought silently.

Beder City, a small town controlled by the Confederate Confederates.

Morani hurriedly drank a sip of the water handed by the servant, which can be regarded as quenching his thirst, looking at the exhausted and crooked soldiers, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, if it was in normal times, he would definitely use the whip in his hand to whip these lazy soldiers, but now Morani did not do this, but climbed directly onto the city wall, looking in the direction he had just walked.

"Here they come, here they come. ”

Morani looked at the huge army in the distance, and felt a burst of despair in his heart.

At Nomenkan, with the support of the wealthy merchants, Morani had already seen the goddess of victory beckoning to them, but the sudden appearance of this army disrupted all the plans of Morani and his allies, leaving them to flee in a hurry without even food.

What the? Why shouldn't they fight, just kidding, they only have 4,000 people left, and a quarter of them are disabled and can't fight at all, and among the remaining able-bodied people, a third of them are peasants, and it's only a little useful when they are sent to death, and if they want to really fight in close combat, they can only do it by trying to make the enemy's knife roll up, so the soldiers who can fight, only a thousand people, want to use such a small number of troops to fight against this enemy who can't see the edge, and it is still in the field, without any fortifications to rely on, it is simply looking for death。

So Morani and his allies were very clever and chose to escape.

Galloping all the way back to Beder from the city of Nomenkan, this army has always maintained an unhurried pace to follow their pace, does not catch up with them and kill them, and has never lagged behind them, Morani and the others have always seen these wind and dust, and then they were forced to walk to the city of Beder, and everyone was exhausted.

"Quick, let the soldiers come, the enemy is coming, if it is a little later, when they attack the city, then everyone will die, don't hurry over!

Morani was a little speechless when he spoke, but the effect was surprisingly good, those soldiers who were still sitting on the ground heard the words of Viscount Morani, one by one climbed the city wall for their own lives, and some went to close the city gate, and the people on the wall took their bows and arrows from their backs, put the quivers on the edge of the wall, and then they all lay on the wall, only half of their heads were exposed to look at the army outside the city that did not know whether they were friends or foes.

"Morani, what are we going to do? β€œ

Speaking next to Morani was another nobleman of the Southern Alliance, Viscount Hans, who looked at Morani's side face at the moment, grabbing the dirt on the wall with both hands, and his legs and feet were shaking very much, but Viscount Hans didn't seem to notice, he didn't care how funny his image was at the moment, but stared at Morani tightly, hoping that he could tell him what to do.

In the Southern Alliance, Morani is the smartest nobleman, as long as there is a problem, when all the nobles finally discuss, they will basically take Morani's opinion as the last way to deal with the matter, and the reason why Genaya's merchants will fund them Piedmontese nobles is also because Morani made peace in it, it can be said that Morani is the core of the entire team.

"Tell your knights to go to Genaya and tell them that we need support. β€œ

Morani looked at the unknown army in the distance who was raising his sword and slashing the slow-running soldiers, and said seriously to Hans beside him. (To be continued.) )
