Chapter Seventy-Four: Battle Reports from the Front
Hakimsdam's remaining guards came one after another, and at this time Hakim Sultan could no longer hold on, although he immediately ordered his soldiers to start retreating, but once the order to retreat was issued, these soldiers were a little panicked, and the efficiency of their operation was significantly reduced. At this time, retreating is equivalent to escaping, and they no longer have the courage to reorganize into an orderly battle formation.
"Hakimsdan! I didn't expect to meet again, I left you a good place in Lord Farvia's castle, and she wants to invite you over as a guest, I wonder if Hakim Sultan can enjoy his face? ”
Lakman rode his horse as he slew the guards near the Sultan of Hakim. The two guards wanted to flank Lachman, but the war horse driven by Lachman struck left and right and instantly cut the two guards under the horse.
Sultan Hakim did not look back, and turned his horse's head to flee, but the horse supporting Rakman caught up with him.
"Hakim Sultan! Don't go! ”
As he spoke, Lachman raised the long sword in his hand, and he wanted to stab Sultan Hakim's warhorse, but at this moment, he only heard the sound of horses' hooves beside him, and a strange sword appeared in Lakman's eyes.
It was a strange sword, and in the light of the sun it seemed to reflect sunlight like sand, and in the Sultanate of Saland, a kingdom in the desert, where sand was everywhere, this sword was like sand. But we can't let that make us look down on this sword.
There are not many swords in this world that can produce dazzling brilliance like sand. Lachman immediately realized that this sword was definitely not a flashy ceremonial sword, it was the kind of sword that could really go into battle and kill the enemy. Because this sword is already stained with blood.
Lachman looked at the man with the sword, she had a weather-beaten face, her face was wrinkled, as if it had been sunburned by the wind and rain, and thick calluses appeared on his palm, which showed that he had practiced swordsmanship hard.
"Your Excellency?!"
Lachman said.
"I don't want to say my name, but I've promised someone to do something for them, and I won't give up."
Rakman suddenly became interested, in the previous battle process, there was no such person around Hakim Sultan, and seeing such a person appear at this moment shows that this person is the camp of Hakim Sultan who has only recently joined.
"Your Excellency is a strong martial artist, why do you want to take refuge in Hakim Sultan? If you are willing to help Mistress Falvia, Hakim Sultan will give you twice as much as what Mistress Falvia has given you.
Lachman wanted to persuade a master to join his camp, and although he had not yet fought against this master, it was clear from the calluses on his hands that his days of practicing swordsmanship were not below him.
No! Even above themselves.
"If you want to say this, won't it seem that I am forgetting my righteousness, and if I promise others, I will definitely keep my promise."
As soon as he finished speaking, the strange sword stabbed at him, and Lachman had no doubt that he picked up his long sword to defend against the attack. At the same time, Sultan al-Hakim had already fled. Seeing this, Lachman could only sigh.
However, for Hakim Sultan, today was a day of bad luck for him, as Lakman had just finished the chase and Maatsen intercepted Hakim Sultan's retreat.
The Hakim Sultan's soldiers were already holding their heads and running around, and they couldn't care about the life and death of the king, and at the same time, the few remaining Hakim Sultan's guards rushed out, and Maatsen brandished his two-handed broadsword, and the two guards on the left and right were hacked to death by Maatson, even though they were wearing crystal armor, but her fragile neck could not block Maatson's attack. Hakim Sultan was a little panicked at this time, for Hakim Sultan, he was simply powerless to resist, and all around Hakim Sultan were Saland-Mamluks, but unfortunately these Saland-Mamluks did not belong to Hakim Sultan, they were loyal to Farvia.
As a result, the Sultan of Hakim had already felt a deep sense of despair, even though the Danzi recruited by Chief Diu was the swordsman known as the Hidden Sands.
Although Danzi had blocked Lachman, he was left alone, and Maatsen had another interception of Hakim Sultan. At the critical moment, only a familiar cry echoed in the ears of Hakim Sultan on the left. Seeing this, Maatsen was also surprised, there were actually dozens of Salander Mamluks rushing towards him, and the banners they were flying were all the banners of Chief Diu. There is no doubt that these soldiers were all under the command of Chief Diu.
Hakim Sultan was immediately overjoyed and drove his horse towards Diu. Seeing this, Salander Mamluk, who surrounded the Sultan of Hakim, was not merciful, and without waiting for Maatsen to give orders, he immediately drew his weapon and tried to block the retreat of the Sultan of Hakim. However, the Sultan of Hakim was a formidable warrior, and although his martial arts were not as strong as when he was younger, it was still possible to escape from the hands of the Salander Mamluks. One of the Saland Mamluks he was fighting was stabbed by the Sultan of Hakim, and the other Salan Mamluks waved their iron rods at him.
Immediately the chief of Diu bent his bow and arrow, and the sharp arrow pierced through the air, and the Salander Mamluk fell to the ground and died. Before he had time to praise Chief Diu's superb bowing skills, the Saland-Mamluks under Chief Diu rushed forward, and both swords and iron rods poured in. In the midst of the chaos, Sultan al-Hakim was finally able to escape. At the cost of the death of dozens of his guards, as well as the heroic deaths of several Salander Mamluks under the chief of Diu.
As for Danzi, who had been invited by Chief Diu, he was continuing to fight with Lachman.
"Hakim Sultan has fled, your lord has retreated, and you still have to support yourself here, is such a king worthy of your allegiance?"
Lachman continued to lobby the powerful swordsman.
During the fight with him, a strange sword of his came to an end.
The weapon held in Hidden Shadanzi's hand was called quicksand, and the blade of the quicksand sword pointed at Lachman's blade. Coming back to his senses, Lachman saw that his long sword had been cut several times, and the enemy's weapons were too sharp, so it was better to retreat for the time being. But behind Danzi, several Saland Mamluks rushed over.
"My mission is to cover the retreat of Sultan Hakim, and my life is not so important. Now that His Majesty has retreated, I will leave it at that, although you are my enemy, your swordsmanship is indeed powerful. ”
Danzi waved to Lachman using an ancient etiquette, and then turned the horse's head, but Lachman did not pursue, because Lachman knew that Danzi did not try his best, and Danzi had many opportunities to take his life during his own fight, but he did not do so.
In the blink of an eye, Danzi had already driven his horse to the front, and several of Maatson's Salander Mamluks wanted to catch the enemy general, but with a few swings of the quicksand sword, the Mamluk chain mail worn by Saland-Mamluk was cut like tofu, needless to say, the armor had been cut down, and these people had to fall to the ground and die, but a miracle happened. Danzi didn't kill him, after cutting down the armor of the Salander Mamluks, they just broke some skin, and Lachman knew that this master didn't want to hurt the lives of others too much. That's why this scene came into being.
Hakim Sultan escaped, but a little further north, Walls continued to fight Alva, the pearl light. Alva the Pearllight doesn't have many elite soldiers under his command, and Farvia's presence has severely weakened his strength.
Therefore, in the process of fighting with Walls, it was Alva the Pearllight who suffered, but among the troops led by Alva the Pearllight, Farvia gave him a certain amount of Salander Mamluks, and these powerful warriors completely contained Vors.
To tell the truth, Alva of the Pearl Light didn't want to go toe-to-toe with Walls, some of these soldiers were loyal to him to the death, and if they died like this, then there would be fewer and fewer people loyal to him, but Farvia didn't have such worries, because all the people began to admire Farvia and were willing to become his soldiers, but their prestige was getting less and less, and every time they died, there would be no new people to be loyal to them.
In that case, Alva the Pearl Light rolled his eyes, thinking about how he could easily contain Walls and hit Farvia.
At this time, on the grounds that Walls' strength is too strong, and his subordinates are abnormally lax, he should let Walls go and let Walls fight Farvia himself, and only Walls has the ability to consume Farvia's strength. As for his old rival Hakim Sultan, the pearl light Alva for him, he already felt that Hakim Sultan could not make any big waves, and he fought against Farvia many times, almost every time he was defeated, otherwise he would not have been beaten to ask for foreign help.
The corners of Alva's mouth arced in a strange arc, and he smiled and called over to one of his cronies.
He whispered a few words in his cronie's ear, and the cronie nodded and understood what Alva the Pearllight meant.
"If you understand, go ahead and do something, and I'll have a big reward when it's done."
Alva the Pearl Light spoke to the cronie, who nodded immediately and disappeared into the crowd. The neighborhood is full of people close to Alva the Pearllight, and they will not leak Alva's every move.
Walls and Pearllight Alva have been fighting for more than an hour, because of Farvia's Salander Mamluk, Walls has not been able to make progress for a long time, but if Walls sends his ace troops out, it is possible to defeat Pearllight Alva in one fell swoop, but he did not do so, because he felt that he could not use this ace force for the time being. Who knows if Farvia will come back with a carbine?
Suddenly, a man dressed as a Salander soldier rushed into the Walls command post. Walls was commanding the army in the rear of the army, and the group of soldiers next to him immediately took up their arms and aimed at the sudden Salander soldier.
"King Karad, the Sultan of Hakim wants me to bring you a message."
Walls nodded, and let his soldiers let this soldier in, Hakim Sultan is now fighting with Farvia, presumably it is more than lucky, looking at the retreat of Farvia's army, Walls feels that Farvia is not so easy to defeat, Hakim Sultan in order to prove his worth and maintain his rule, he also leads his soldiers to die, and Walls is not easy to stop. Now he sent heralds to his camp, presumably to get himself to ask for reinforcements.
Thinking of this, Walls shook his head and smiled bitterly, he was now caught by Alva, he was like a poisonous scorpion, clamping himself with his big pincers, just not letting himself go. Although the scorpion has not yet stabbed with a venomous hook, its function is to use his pair of pincers to grab itself to prevent it from escaping, and his goal is already obvious, that is, to drag himself, this is Farvia's plan, I didn't expect Hakim Sultan to fall for it so easily.
"King Calad!"
The soldier knelt down on one knee and said to Walls.
"Hakim Sultan has made a request to you, that he has defeated Farvia in the south, and that you should lead your own troops to rush to his aid. Now as long as the enemy general Farvia is captured, then this civil war can be ended as soon as possible. ”
The news brought by the herald surprised Walls, which was a bit different from her own original thoughts. Walls had thought that Hakim's departure would be a bad luck, but now it seems that things have taken him by surprise.
"What's going on?"
Walls asked loudly, the guards around him all turned their gazes, looking at the supreme commander in front of him, the battle spirit of the entire army, at this time Walls stared wide-eyed, and the result he expected was completely different, is Farvia really defeated?
Farvia's name is heard of by Walls, such a woman is definitely not in vain, in this case, he was able to defeat Hakim Sultan once, and many times in a row to defeat Hakim Sultan, it is definitely not caused by luck, but in the second war after he came, Hakim Sultan easily defeated Farvia, which inevitably has an indescribable weirdness.
"King Karad, my lord is wise and powerful, naturally able to defeat Farvia, please don't doubt this, my majesty's talent is definitely higher than Farvia, many failures before, just because my lord's luck is worse, speaking of which, these battles are all because of Farvia's luck, the first time you fought him, I easily forced Farvia back, which just shows that your name as the god of war is not in vain, and Farvia's battles are all luck."
The words of the Salander soldier were so unbelievable that for a moment Walls could not imagine how Sultan Hakim had defeated Farvia, and suddenly, he had a strange idea. With a suspicious look, he stared directly at the Salander soldier in front of him, and his hungry wolf-like eyes seemed to force the Salander soldier to spit out the truth.
The Salander soldier was a little nervous to be stared at by Walls like this, and he unconsciously took a step or two back, which aroused Walls's suspicions even more.
"Although I would love to help Sultan al-Hakim, before that, Alva the Pearl Light has already blocked my way, and if I continue to advance south, my back will be exposed to the claws of the enemy, in which case he will attack our army from behind and will suffer heavy losses, so I will not be able to help Sultan Hakim for the time being."
The creep seemed to hesitate a little, and as the fierce battle on the battlefield continued, Walls turned his gaze away from the Salander soldier and continued to watch the battle between his own soldiers and the enemy soldiers on the battlefield.
"Your Majesty King Karad, in that case, I will retreat first, but, Hakim Sultan said that soon Alva the Pearllight will retreat, and he said that after the retreat of the Pearllight Alva, you must hurry up and fight against Farvia in the south."
The soldier saluted, and hurried away. Walls looked at the soldier with suspicion on his face. Although this is an authentic Salander, but now that the Salander Sultanate is in a civil war, both sides are Salanders, how can you tell if you want to find such a decent spy to infiltrate your army? Moreover, he was not familiar with the Salander Sultan at all, and if this Salander soldier was disguised by the Pearllight Alva faction, then the consequences would be unimaginable.
Repeatedly insisting that he was going to attack Farvia, it must be ill-intentioned, and Walls decided to ignore it.
Polcha, who stood beside Walls, looked at the departing Salander soldiers.
"Your Majesty! I think the soldier in front of me must be a spy, you look at his thief head, he sees us like a mouse. He must have been the enemy army entering our army to deliver false news, otherwise how could he be so timid? ”
Polcha's image was more like a timid guy, but after Porcha's reminder at this time, Walls noticed that the Salander soldier who left was indeed a little panicked, and he was a little tiptoeing in his own army, which made Walls even more suspicious. But the soldier had already left, and if he was caught halfway, it would be difficult to catch the wrong person.
After all, he is a guest, and it is not right to arouse the suspicion of the host. However, the next scene of Walls dispelled this doubt.
In the distance, Alva's troops of the pearl light actually began to retreat, and Alva's troops were in order, and they advanced like the tide and retreated like the tide. The neat footsteps do not seem to be running away, but a planned strategic shift.
This phenomenon, which happened to be exactly the same as what the Salander soldier said, made Walls even more suspicious. There is no doubt that who can accurately say the movements of Alva of the Pearl Light, but who can know except the people around Alva of the Pearl Light?
Walls raised his hand and pointed to where Alva the Pearllight was, where the largest banner fluttered where Alva the Pearllight was commanding.
"It seems that there is also an element of instability within the Pearl Light Alva, and there is also an irreconcilable contradiction between the Pearl Light Alva and Farvia, judging from all these battle plans, Farvia is the leader of this plan, and the Pearl Light, which is actually the leader of the rebels of the Salander Sultanate, can only play a supporting role, it seems that the collision of these two women will inevitably produce an unusually invisible battle."
Wall said to the people around him, and there were only Porcha and a group of guards around him, and that group of guards didn't understand the reason, but Polcha, who had been fighting with Wall all year round, heard a taste.
"So what's next, I don't know how you want to act, Your Majesty? Alva the Pearl Light has already begun to retreat, do you want to pursue it? ”
Polcha asked, and the other guards were waiting to see, but they would abide by any decision made by Wall.
Walls pondered for a moment, looking at his group of soldiers on the front line who were preparing to march, and he suddenly ordered his group of soldiers to stop. Blind pursuit must be their own loss, from watching the enemy's retreating footsteps, you can see that they are retreating in an orderly manner, Pearl Light Alva is also prepared, in this case, he stepped forward to pursue, but only increased casualties.
In this case, Alva the Pearl Light wanted to let himself fight Farvia, so he put a fake game to temporarily make the Pearl Light Alva think that he had succeeded in his treacherous plan, so that he would relax his vigilance and not attack him, and minimize his losses so that he could gain the initiative in the next battle.
So, it was time to pretend that he wanted to pursue Farvia, so he stopped himself and let the soldiers move south, and the order was an important element of Wall's army.
Soon, Walls' army began to advance to the south, and Alva the Pearl Light thought that her plan had succeeded, and now she sat comfortably in her chair as she watched the snipe and mussels fight, and rewarded her cronies with a bounty, and she listened to the battle reports from the front.
