Chapter Thirty-Seven: First Victory
"Didn't you say there were only more than 500 people? That's at least 700 people?!" Milanger felt a little uncomfortable facing the murderous man in front of him, but he didn't have the slightest fear.
"In the past two days, two more groups of people have been resolved. There's nothing wrong with having more people!" Mongo's helmet covered most of his face, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"But you've disobeyed my previous orders, and that's not what you're supposed to do. Milanger was angry that he had been appointed the supreme commander of the team half a month earlier, but he had a disobedient subordinate.
"I was ordered to train my men! And actual combat is the best training! I don't think I've disobeyed your orders, and if you insist on that, you can remove me at any time. Mungo's tone was cold, like his black armor, but also haughty, like his stature, looking down at his temporary superior.
"You ......" Milanger trembled with anger and pointed at Mungo. It was clearly a demonstration, and he knew full well that no one could lead the team except Mungo.
"You'd better not point that at me, maybe I'll chop it up when I'm angry, though you're not very qualified to make me angry. Mongo unceremoniously interrupted Milonger.
"Enough! I need the cooperation of the two of you, not to come and see you arguing!" a majestic voice came as Breno stopped his training. "The other party is already aware of our existence, Mongo, it is my order to let you obey his command, if you are dissatisfied, you can come to me, provided that you can beat me. Brenaud finished and left.
"I do your bidding. ”
Milangeldo wanted to hear this come from Mongo's mouth, but the possibility was too slim, and the familiar voice only indicated his attitude.
Punk showed his attitude, and Mungo couldn't afford to be at a standoff: "You'd better not let me down, my men aren't as good-tempered as I am, they prefer to talk with knives." ”
"You just have to watch from the sidelines and you'll know what the perfect tactic is. Milanger didn't give in.
......
"Jonru, shoot that eagle down!" Delin sat in front of the carriage and gave orders to Jonru beside him.
After receiving the order, Qiang Lu's aura changed instantly, and his eyes were no longer empty, but full of sharp energy. Take the bow, buckle the string, and mount the arrow. "Collapse!", the next moment the sharp arrow has already hit the eagle's chest, and then directly blasted it into a puff of blood mist, Qiang Lu's arrow, the power above is too strong. The whole process lasted no more than two seconds, and it was done in one go. Delin looked at Qianglu and smiled with satisfaction. After Qiang Lu was cured by Delin again, his momentum had become condensed and profound, and his temperament had also changed, and a kind of leader's majesty involuntarily exuded. Delin guessed that this was due to absorbing the souls that had been scattered by him, and he might have had his previous memories one after another, but his dependence on himself had not decreased, but rather increased. Now, in addition to carrying out Delin's orders, Qiang Lu can basically be said to be inseparable.
At noon, according to the information sent back by Xiaobai and the thieves, less than two thousand meters in front of him, there was an ambush with twice as many enemies, and less than two kilometers behind him there were about 100 cavalry, and there were also small groups of scouts and cavalry squads on both wings. The only good news is that the opponent's cavalry is about the same number as its own, that is, almost all of the ambushes in front are infantry.
"We can't wait any longer, the enemy is like using a horse harness, they will pull us tighter and tighter, we must rush out immediately!" Delin said firmly to Kate and Ramour, "You make tactics and break through immediately!"
"Young Master, I think we are not far from Leah City now, and we can kill them back! Those hundred or so cavalry basically can't stop our charge, we don't entangle with them, and we can escape back to the city safely. Kate spoke her mind.
"I have a different opinion. I think it's behind us that they're the main force. We are all cavalry, the other side must understand this, we don't know the strength of the other party, a quick breakthrough, it's just an idea. Ramour disagrees with Kate. Now, he can be on his own.
"I agree with Ramour. The other side has obviously been eyeing us for a long time, and even if we break through, we will definitely lose a lot, and besides, it is not necessarily safe in Leah City. However, a head-on breakthrough will definitely not work, the other side has been preparing for a long time, and it will not let us leave easily, and when the time comes, we will be entangled in the front and back. Therefore, the direction of the breakthrough can only be on both flanks. Delin pointed to the map, "You see, the road is now turning from southwest to west, and if the cavalry behind is to meet it, the distance to the south will be longer, and the distance to the north will be shorter. That is, it is easier to break through to the south. ”
"Young Master, I think we should rush to the north, look here, the Misty Canyon is less than 40 kilometers away from us, and it can be said that it is really safe to enter here!" said Lamour, pointing to the shadows on the map.
......
On the hillside, Milanger looked at the battlefield in front of him with a telescope, just now, Delin lost his carriage and led about 100 men to the south to start a breakthrough, but he always had a hunch in his heart that this might not be the real intention of the other party. He had already ordered the cavalry behind to be supported by half of the men led by Mungo. Putting down the binoculars, Milangel continued to order: "The ambush plan is canceled, and all the cavalry here quickly supports the men and horses of the southern road. ”
Delin and Kate led nearly a hundred fierce soldiers in a bloody battle with the enemy, trying to break through the enemy's defense line again and again, but the other party was like a reef in the sea, several times impacted, it looked like it was about to be submerged, but they all narrowly maintained it. In a two-to-one battle, it was impossible to win an overwhelming victory.
"Kill me desperately! Kill one enemy, 1000 bounty!" Seeing the enemy reinforcements rushing from his left rear, Delin used gold coins to attack. The gold coin seemed to have a miraculous effect on these fierce soldiers, and the low morale instantly soared, becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back. A hole was torn open in the sturdy defensive line.
However, more than 50 cavalry of the enemy have been killed, and Kate's hastily organized defense line cannot be stopped by Ben, especially the leader of the other party, who has killed several people in a few breaths.
"Qianglu, your target is the black-armored knight!" Delin shouted, snapping the enemy's sword as he spoke, and then slicing his neck with a single sword.
While Mungo kills, he is extremely disappointed in Milanger's decision-making. Suddenly, his heart tightened, stopped his distracting thoughts, and the long knife slashed sideways, "Keng!" The violent sound of gold and iron suddenly exploded, shaking people's eardrums. A short spear burst open the knife in his hand, shooting at him at a slight angle. Mongo was a spirit, and the habit he had developed on the battlefield for many years made him turn sideways in an instant, and the short spear grazed the surface of the armor, leaving a brilliant scratch, and then shot through one of the knights behind him.
Mongo broke out in a cold sweat, he hadn't felt this heartbeat in a long time, but he soon came to his senses. It's a battlefield. Mungo looked in the direction where the spear had come from, and a tower-like giant much taller and stronger than himself was drawing his bow, and then an arrow flew out again! What is this arrow! It is simply more lethal than an ordinary short spear! But Mungo did not flinch, he wanted to try to see if he could block this arrow head-on if he was prepared.
"Khoolt!" exploded again, Mongo's face was extremely ugly, and the opponent's arrow was narrowly blocked, but this had already used seventy percent of his strength, and the other party, as if it was effortless, put the arrow on the string again. Mongo felt that he could still block two or three arrows, but then he could only dodge! This dodge must have lost momentum and lost the opportunity, because he was not a thief or an assassin, but a warrior, and the commander of the team!
"Uk, take someone to kill him!" Mongo is not a master who sits still, he prefers offense to defense. Orders were given to his team of thieves, and he himself found his target, it was Delin!
However, under Mungo's gaze, Delin turned around and smiled at him, his blood-covered face did not look terrifying, and Mungo was used to it. Then Delin waved his hand and flicked out a magic flare, and a red flash of fireball rose.
When Milanger saw the signal, he quickly pointed the telescope in the other direction. Sure enough, he saw the cavalry rushing north. Because of the resistance of the mountain, he couldn't see if it was all the people left, but in terms of numbers, it was indeed all the remaining people. "Order, let the Punk Baron go to the north road. Milanger happily gave the order, and the enemy cried out, and he saw through the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
But after a minute, his face changed suddenly. After those cavalry rushed up the gentle slope, they turned around and charged south! For a moment, he was a little stunned. "Quick! Order the punks and the centaurs of the North Road to support the South Road!" "Hurry !!up" Milanger had lost his grace at the moment, and his face was grim as he pinched the binoculars.
Meng Ge couldn't believe what he was looking for, the few thieves he sent over were actually dealt with by the other party's magician and powerful archer in less than half a minute, and he could only carefully dodge his arrows. This is already the seventh arrow. Is he a legendary weapon in his hand? So effortless?! Fortunately, Milanger was not so stupid that he sent the 50 knights stationed in front to support him, so that the other side would not be wiped out by now. Looking at the battlefield, Mungo's cavalry was isolated into three parts, and now it is two parts, the cavalry on the original south road has been completely wiped out, and the two supporting cavalry are blocked in the northeast and northwest directions.
"I'm Mungo, converge in the middle and hold them down!" Mungo yelled, and the cavalry from the northwest immediately rushed towards the center. For them, Mongo's words were the most effective, and as for the little white face, if it weren't for Mongo's orders, they wouldn't have killed him.
In the chaotic battlefield, especially in cavalry battles, Qiang Lu's vision was seriously hindered, because there was no strong enough war horse to carry him, so even if he was more than two meters tall, he could not occupy the high point of sight. This gives Mongo more room to play, rather than being held down. Under the charge of the new force, Mungo quickly joined his men. Now, the time has come for a counterattack, and Mungo has gathered his forces to form a fist.
"Charge!" Mungo gave the order with another wave of his hand, spitting out Milanger and the suppressed pressure he had received before. He felt extremely happy, and it would have been better if the opponent had not had that powerful shooter.
"Kill! Strike with all your might!" With the sound of roaring horses' hooves, Ramour's reinforcements arrived, and the fierce soldiers also soared again. At the forefront of the charge were the most elite wind knights such as Ramour, and they suddenly appeared on the back of the enemy, so they quickly scattered the remaining sixty or seventy cavalry of the opponent, routed them, and then destroyed them. Mungo was a little dumbfounded, and scolded Milanger for being an idiot, but this was useless, with his strength, even if he didn't have the shooter who stared at him like the maggot, he would not be able to turn the tide.
"Withdraw!" with a loud roar, Mongo led his men to fight their way through the bloody path and ran for their lives. Delin would not let go of this good opportunity, allowing Qiang Lu to shoot most of his men in a row. In the end, only three people left the battlefield with Mongo.
Victorious, Delin did not give the order to charge south, but regrouped his ranks and walked in a hurrying direction to the northeast, that is, in the direction of the city of Leah. In the distance, Delin saw the punk coming after him and smiled at him, whose face was full of embarrassment. Now, he knew who his opponents were, Mungo, Punk, Milanger and the people behind them.
After dealing with more than 100 cavalry on the other side, although he also lost about seventy or eighty cavalry, he lost all the fierce soldiers with poor combat strength, and the knights and elite wind knights did not even have a big consumption. Now as long as he maintains the speed that the opponent's infantry can't catch up, then the opponent's remaining less than 100 cavalry can only watch him leave.
However, the other party will definitely realize the problem of insufficient cavalry, and will replenish a large number of war horses, for people who have been doing business all year round, there is no problem of not being able to ride horses. Moreover, he is the victor and gets the right to clean up the battlefield, which means that he can save his own wounded, but at the same time, the wounded are also a burden. There is also the fact that the physical strength of the war horse is no longer enough to support a battle, and being able to rush is already the limit.
Delin looked at the punk 500 meters behind the team and Milanger about a kilometer away, and ordered to change direction again, aiming directly at the Misty Canyon.
