Chapter 78: Attacking the Heart

And thanks to the fact that this is just a makeshift rabble......

The details of Risa Dilan's meticulous report really made a big difference.

It can be seen from the fact that they have chased Risardiran for nearly a hundred miles, that the dead face is their real leader, and these knights and people gathered in Trubrun, and they should have been waiting for this dead face to appear.

According to Risadiran's experience, this group of bandits was nothing more than a new recruit from various villages.

They came from various villages in the kingdom and were replenished by the knights in a month.

Judging from their performance by the river, these people were only gathered in a hurry, and they did not have time to do any training, but they only listened to the command of those knights, and they did not seem to be too obedient in control.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have rushed into the woods after being harassed in the first place—the knight and his infantry wouldn't have gone into the woods.

And they weren't very familiar with these knights - not even when they were resting. Obviously, these knights didn't look down on these bandits either.

In other words, these bandits are cannon fodder used to fight for quantity, and there is a high probability that there is no low-level management.

Reliable junior officers are an important factor in maintaining the stability and reliability of a force.

Troops without junior officers, once they lose their leader, will be reduced to scattered sand.

The knights seemed to have not been able to break free from the shackles of their thinking—if they had dispersed the elite infantry among the bandits as junior officers, the reliability of this thousand-strong army would have multiplied.

It is estimated that it is reluctant......

This is a common problem for most people - they always feel that the elite should be used alone, so as not to be dragged down by cannon fodder......

In fact, the elite mixed in cannon fodder is often more useful.

But now, these rabble are easily "retreating" just because of the instigation of Leon alone......

The infantry were probably not too affected, but they were clearly unable to command the army, and the bandits would not listen to them.

The enemy behind him was no longer worried, and Leon began to gallop towards Mai Xiangling.

It was only six or seven miles away, and it only took him a few minutes before he caught up with Klose again.

It was already far away, and it was an open area, and there were no trees nearby—the trees near the village had been cut down to make way for Mai Xiangling's house.

Klose is confronting the enemy with his archers.

In fact, the knight in the lead of the enemy was a little aggrieved.

The half of the team he took with him to the front was about 400 people, and the army was still huge, but the tail behind him could not be shaken off......

Mai Xiangling arranged the chariot formation, and the military appearance looked neat - the sixty-odd recruits would even be considered elite infantry in terms of equipment alone.

He knew that it would not be possible to capture for a while, and wanted to turn back to deal with Klose's group of tails that had been wearing him.

But as soon as he turned his head vigorously, the tails ran back—his men had run a hundred miles, and had not been able to rest properly, and indeed could not catch up.

When he wanted to attack Mai Xiangling directly, those tails came running to release arrows again.

Divide the troops? He divided it.

He had more than eighty men to deal with the group of tails—a full double the number of them, and twenty elite infantrymen among them.

As a result, a small half of the bandits were shot down by the heavy archers, and most of the elite infantry were still hacked to death by the big guys, and then the remaining thirty or so people collapsed, turned around and ran away, and were shot dead more than half of them, and only a few people fled back.

And those tails turned out to be only seven or eight down, and the battle loss ratio was 1 to 10.

Klose is not Leon, as long as he feels that he can fight, he will definitely fight, he will not pursue zero battle damage......

So he was in a dilemma, or a trilemma—because he saw two Noldor arrows, he didn't dare to take the lead, and he didn't dare to let the few elite infantry out of his side.

He didn't dare to attack directly, and McXiangling's defenses were well arranged - this knight didn't know that McXiangling's side was just a group of rookies, and he thought that McXiangling's defenders were as strong as this group of tails......

And he couldn't retreat or flee, and the dead face was caught, and it was possible to confess him. If he can't defeat Mai Xiangling, as a traitor to the Lion Kingdom, he will definitely be hunted down by the whole country......

He could only wait for the rear army to come over quickly.

So he was on guard at both ends a few hundred meters from the entrance of the village.

A team of more than 300 people, facing two small troops led by Mai Xiang with more than 100 people and divided into troops, was strangely on the defensive.

However, the rear army did not wait, and Li Ang came first......

After Li Ang arrived here, he looked at the battlefield situation and relieved himself.

"Whew!"

When Klose saw Leon returning, they also raised their weapons and cheered - they trusted this lord, and since Leon came back as usual, it naturally meant that Leon's goal had been achieved.

The enemy looked at Klose and cheered, looking at each other one by one, this kind of cheering action that can only be seen after winning a battle is naturally recognized by them, and the scene was quiet for a while.

Seeing that the enemy's infantry was defending with shields and not using crossbows, the lord rode his horse to a position about a hundred meters away from the leading knight.

The knight couldn't see his face in his giant helmet, but stood out in the crowd - he was the only enemy in plate armor, protected by a group of infantry.

"Which man is attacking my Mai Xiangling? Sign up! ”

Li Ang's voice is still very loud, and the noise is not loud at the moment, and it should be heard for hundreds of meters.

A few of the bandits raised their bows, but Leon didn't care - at a distance of about 100 meters, if he could be shot to death by an inferior wooden bow, it would only be considered a bad fate.

Of course, if the bow on the opposite side was of better quality, the lord wouldn't be so close.

In fact, if those infantry hadn't raised their shields, Leon might have shot an arrow at them, and he wouldn't have bothered to talk......

No one spoke on the other side.

That's okay, Li Ang didn't ask, and directly began to disturb the other party's military heart.

"Are you waiting for someone in the back? They have been defeated! It's all in ruins! ”

"Got it? They're finished! You're going to be finished! ”

With that, Leon beckoned to Summer.

Summerer understood, and brought Leon's equipment with him.

Then the lord began to change back into his own equipment in such a big way, throwing the knight's plate armor on his body to the ground piece by piece, and changing it back into his own light half-body armor.

It's even a slow horse that changes while wiping.

Summerer and Klose were on both sides to help, and of course, they were ready to help the lord defend against the arrows.

However, no one on the other side released the arrows, and everyone just watched Li Ang change his equipment slowly and methodically, and no one spoke.

It wasn't until several minutes had passed, when the equipment had been completely changed, that Leon spoke again.

"Now you understand? The people behind you are finished! ”

"And my reinforcements are coming!"

In this way, Leon is increasing his persuasiveness - your rear army is really gone, and the lord wants you to waste time.

Mai Xiangling must have reinforcements, no one will doubt this.

It's hard to say anything else, the horn summons the rangers will come sooner or later - Mai Xiangling has been blowing the horn, and the rangers can always be heard sooner or later.

All it takes is one ranger who hears it, and it brings with it a large group of rangers.

It will take time to wait for reinforcements.

But in fact?

Did Leon really want to waste time?
