Chapter 88: Retreat from the enemy
Amy, who had been observing from White Hart Fort, naturally saw this situation as well - most of the enemy troops had withdrawn, only a small half of the enemy was left outside, and the remaining enemy troops seemed to be infighting.
Thousands of people were gathered together, and their swords seemed to be directed towards the dozens of people in the middle, and the small team in the middle was slowly approaching White Deer Fort.
This situation is clearly not intended for siege......
Approaching about two hundred meters away from White Deer Fort, one of the small team picked up a spear left over from the battlefield, took out a flag from his body and put it on the spear.
White griffon flag on black background.
That's Lord Leon of Mai Xiangling.
Amy's heart swelled with great joy that the goddess really responded to herself!
However, just as the flag was displayed, the gap that the Bacchus Imperial Army had originally let was blocked again.
It was General Agathon who blocked the road.
"Let's disperse, let's all disperse, everyone, don't hang around...... If you go over again, White Deer Fort will release arrows......"
The lord kindly reminded Agathon and his men, his tone of concern and mildness, even smiling.
"Your Excellency's courage in entering our army camp alone is admirable...... Who is Your Excellency? ”
General Agathon asked solemnly, and looked at Leon's face carefully, as if intending to keep this man's appearance in mind.
"General Agathon, my name doesn't matter...... And most importantly, what are you going to do? Do you continue the siege? ”
Leon chuckled in his heart and drew his sword, thinking that the general was going to take a risk.
"No, Your Excellency will definitely become the great enemy of the Empire, I just want to remember your great name...... In addition......"
Agathon spread out his hands to show that there was no malice, and his eyes looked at the two governors who were a little embarrassed by the men who were driving their feet off the ground.
"Then remember, Lord Ben's name is Leon. When you all retire, I will naturally release the two governors. ”
The lord withdrew his sword and said very seriously.
Agathon looked carefully at the griffon flag: "I hope you keep your word!" Stand back! ”
He retreated with his party to Justes' camp.
The rest of the Imperial armies retreated with him.
Leon waited for them all to retreat to the camp a few hundred meters away before continuing to approach White Deer Fort.
On the city wall, a soldier lowered two hanging baskets: "My lord! The gates of the city have been blocked...... Come up in a hanging basket! ”
This is Amy's voice.
"Lord Leon, I don't know how to thank you......"
Amy's voice was cheerful, her face flushed with excitement, and she hurriedly pulled Leon out of the hanging basket.
"Don't let me buy food at a high price......"
Leon smiled, and a casual remark made Amy's face even redder.
"My lord, they still don't seem to have left......" Klose was the last to be hoisted, and he looked back at the camp of the Bacchus Empire, a little uneasy.
"The two generals will only obey the orders of Emperor Marius, and they will certainly not leave until their emperor or marshal orders the withdrawal...... These are two principled and intelligent people, and the most troublesome enemies...... They may be playing with the idea of Mai Xiangling. ”
Leon didn't expect Klose to understand, he meant it to Amy.
"Amy, send someone out of the city, unfurl Godric's banner, and send them two barrels of wine, and point them to General Agathon."
"Huh? Why? "Klose doesn't understand, why should he send wine to the enemy?
Amy tilted her head and thought about it, but laughed: "Lord Leon, it's really ...... to force the enemy back in this way."
Leon looked at Amy carefully with some surprise, but he didn't expect that this little girl really had both beauty and wisdom, and she was really the darling of God, no wonder Godric dared to hand over White Hart Fort to her after leaving.
It wasn't long before several brave archers, carrying Godric's Three Lions, delivered two large barrels of ale to the camp where Agatson was.
And only a few minutes later, General Agathon ordered the camp to retreat.
Before retreating, he took a deep look at White Deer Castle, gritted his teeth and smashed the wine barrel outside White Deer Fort in full view of everyone.
"Your Excellency Leon! Make this conspiracy not heroic! ”
Agathon's shouts could be heard even on the walls of White Hart Fort.
Li Ang shook his head, and when he saw the enemy retreating, there was not the slightest joy on his face: "This Agathon is really a big trouble......
He asked Amy to deliver wine to Agathon, in effect, to provide a lever for General Creon or the other Bacchus lords......
Someone has to be responsible for the failure to capture White Hart Castle and the kidnapping of two governors, in fact, all the lords present in the Bacchus Empire will be held responsible.
And those who could command the two governors had already evacuated obediently, and those who remained were naturally the political enemies of the two governors, or at least not people from one faction.
There was a lot of conversation between Agathon and Leon, so the lord created a suspicion that "Agathon may be collaborating with the enemy", giving the other lords a chance to be exempted, and also giving the two governors a chance......
Because Agasson, both in terms of status and political leanings, is very suitable for detaining this black cauldron - the two governors will be put back sooner or later, and after the two of them go back, will they use these two barrels of wine to play a role and detain the black cauldron on Agasson's head?
In order to alleviate their responsibilities, they would have done so even if everyone knew that Agasson could not collaborate with the enemy......
This is the norm in political struggle.
There is no right or wrong, only interests.
So Agathon had to take a stand - smash the barrel and retreat immediately, or more "gifts" would arrive at his camp, and he would not dare to attack the city alone.
Soon, the city was empty.
The enemy probably won't retreat too far, they will most likely camp dozens of miles away and wait, but at least they won't attack until their marshal, Governor Kairos, receives the news and sends back the order.
And Kairos went to Serenmis - even if Keros, the old imperial conservative, was ruthless and ignored his colleagues, and when the news passed and the military order came back, it was estimated that a week would pass.
At that time, reinforcements from White Deer Fort had also arrived.
Just to prevent the enemy from sacking the McIncense Collar during this time - this is another intention for Lehman to hold the path of the McIncense Collar.
Before the kidnapping is successful, the enemy must not be allowed to find out about Mai Xiangling's situation, otherwise he will not be able to win the trust of Justes, and the kidnapping will not be successful.
After the kidnapping is successful, the enemy will know that the Mai Xiang Ling is in the hands of Leon, so it is necessary to guard against the enemy from attacking the Mai Xiang Ling quickly with a small force - as this may cause the enemy to exchange the Mai Xiang Ling for two governors.
In fact, that's why Agathon finally asked Leon for his name, and he must have thought of it, so he stayed at the camp and didn't leave. It's just that Leon exchanged two barrels of wine for a little time and space again.
"Amy, the war is not over yet, you still have to be prepared every day - especially keep an eye on this governor, don't let people run, there are many spies in the Bacchus Empire, don't let anyone enter the city."
Li Ang instructed earnestly.
Amy nodded like a chick pecking rice: "Mm-hmm, I'll watch him." ”
"Okay, I have to go back to Maixiang to get it, don't worry, reinforcements will come soon, they won't be able to capture White Deer Fort."
Leon also nodded and got up to leave.
"Wait, Lord Leon, would you like to be my teacher?"
After Leon stood in the gondola, Amy leaned her head out of the wall, and there seemed to be some anticipation in her eyes.
