Chapter 173: Creating Opportunities for the Enemy
This is the territory of the Fenway family, of course, there is a lot of property, although the number of Fenway family is small, but it is indeed very rich, after all, it has the core technology.
The Noldor elves wanted to transfer their supplies, in fact, because after the defeat of Ardarian, the seriously wounded who returned from the front told them that the enemy had chased them deep into the forest, and that the enemy was relatively outnumbered, so let them avoid it.
However, due to the large number of supplies and the fact that there were no vehicles in the forest, they found a large number of enemies before they could finish transporting them.
So they stopped the transfer of supplies and moved everything into the stables, the seriously wounded and the children into the stables, and all the adult Noldor in front of the stables.
Andongjia had thought that the people of the Bearpaw tribe would get a lot of benefits, because she knew that those Noldor probably couldn't withstand the berserkers of the Bearpaw tribe, and that shaman wouldn't care how many people died—as long as he could get the supplies in the stables, he wouldn't care if they died!
But unexpectedly, Li Ang's troops suddenly came out and changed the tide of the battle.
So she stabbed the enemy to death at the last minute, and completed this revenge - she ran with the shaman to stab the shaman to death, but she was injured in the previous melee, and the shaman ran fast......
"So, Miss Andonga, you're here to kill them all...... Looks like you're almost done now. I admire your courage to do it alone, it's not easy! ”
Anson, who was wrapping up An Dongjia's wounds, sighed, probably remembering when he himself was kidnapped by the pirates.
Anson's courage is still in practice, but he must remember when he first faced the battlefield - the weak chicken hiding behind Sarah Horse, and he himself often laughed at himself at that time.
He really admired this kind of person with extraordinary courage and mind, not to mention that this was still a woman.
"Aha, shy doctor, if you show up north of the Misty Mountains, I'm sure I'll snatch you home......"
Andongjia's face was now pale from blood loss, but that didn't stop her from making jokes about Anson, who seemed to have a good affection for this shy cultural person—and perhaps more importantly, of course, Anson's words made her feel respected.
As far as the people of the Northern Misty Mountains were concerned, she had never heard a name other than "wildling" in the population of Pander Continent.
Anson calls her "Miss Andonga" - this is of course Anson's usual polite attitude towards people, but for Antonga, this is the first time.
Anson's knowledge of history and culture is still good, he knows a lot of barbarian customs, and of course he understands jokes like "snatch him home".
So he stopped talking, smiled a little shyly, tied a knot in the wound on An Dongjia's waist, and ran to treat the other wounded.
An Dongjia looked at Anson's back and whistled, looking like a female hooligan.
The lord looked at the female rascal with interest: "An Dongjia, in this way, you seem to have nowhere to go?" ”
Of course, he admired the kind of person who had the guts to put plans into action alone, even if she was a misty mountain person.
"My lord, I really have nowhere to go...... Thank you for saving my life, but I didn't think I'd be alive. ”
An Dongjia turned around, shook his head and said, then turned his head to look at Anson again.
She was quite serious when she faced Leon, but when she looked at Anson, she licked her lips, and then began to vigorously wipe the marks on her face that she didn't know what she had drawn with something......
"Haha...... You don't plan to die like that...... In that case, you should follow Anson for now, I think you can protect him just right—and that means you have to be loyal to me, of course. ”
The lord was very understanding and arranged a good job for An Dongjia.
"Huh? Aha...... Thank you, my lord! It looks like a good errand......"
An Dongjia turned his head to look at Li Ang, and when he saw Li Ang pointing at Anson, he was stunned for several seconds before he understood what Li Ang meant, and smiled in surprise.
Then she knelt down on the ground, picked up the sword on the ground and cut her hand, smeared the blood from her hand on her own face, and bowed her head to Leon, holding the blade in her hand and handing the hilt to Leon.
"I'll be there for you, I'm not done with this chapter!) )
Chapter 173: Creating Opportunities for the Enemy
Adults! ”
It seems that this is a unique way for the people of the Misty Mountains to show their allegiance, and the blood on their faces presumably means that they are willing to follow the leader and fight bloodily.
Leon looked at her blood-covered barbarian style, and mourned for Anson for half a second in his heart.
"Andongjia, you'd better wash your face, or I feel like Anson might run for his life...... Besides, all my soldiers have to learn some culture, and I hope you won't regret it......"
The lord took the sword, and then directly reinserted it into the scabbard on An Dongjia's body.
"An Dongjia has joined your team".
This is probably the partner that Leon has recruited the most, and it seems that she can't wait to "protect" Anson......
At this moment, a Twilight Knight of House Fenway walked towards the lord.
Risadillan tries to stop him, but the Twilight Knight spreads his hands, indicating that he has no ill will and that he is not armed.
This is the other Twilight Knight who threw his sword before.
It seemed that Anson's non-racial healing behavior had given him a lot of favor, and he looked at Leon with some kindness in his eyes.
But when he caught a glimpse of Andonga, there was still a palpable disgust in the Twilight Knight's eyes.
"Your Excellency, I am Sedren of House Fenway, and I am sorry for the rudeness of my people. Of course, I think you can understand that none of us expected to be helped by humans. ”
Twilight Knight walks over to Leon and bows his head to Leon and strokes his chest.
Lord Lord's smile: "I can understand that. But you'd better tell me about the situation...... Didn't you encounter Yin Sillandil's troops? ”
"His Highness Yin Si Landier? Isn't he dealing with armies of humanity in the south? ”
The Twilight Knight, named Sedren, was stunned for a moment.
Leon felt that something was wrong - he himself had received news from Yin Si Landil, and it stands to reason that Yin Si Landil's troops should have rushed back to this area a long time ago, and they should definitely set up defenses in important places such as horse farms as soon as possible.
But the people of the Fenway family did not encounter any troops of Yin Silandier......
The Gatu and the Misty Mountain people were not strong in the forest, and it was impossible for them to hold back Yin Silandil's forces.
"Didn't you encounter any troops from the Aino family?"
Risa Dilan heard this next to him, and he was a little confused, Yin Si Landier didn't come?
"No, I only met these wounded from the Dalyan tribe yesterday morning. They said that the Cato were coming in, and after I sent someone to report the situation, I began to prepare for the transfer of personnel and supplies......"
Sederen pointed to the wounded in the stable, and he also sensed that something was wrong.
"In this way, in addition to the Gatu and the Misty Mountain people, it is likely that there are other forces taking advantage of the fire to rob! Sederen, you'd better spread out your men and investigate the surrounding area, and inform the rest of your clan's realms to be fully prepared! ”
Leon quickly said to Saidren that his own subordinates were all humans, and there was definitely no way to send messages to the other Noldor settlements, so the Noldor elves could only do it.
Sederen knew that Leon had a point, if even Yin Sillandier's troops couldn't come here, it would mean that the Fenway family's territory would have to face the enemy alone for a short time.
He wasted no time, and immediately dispatched his men.
The twilight knight with a bad attitude was sent to the southeast first, presumably to ask for help.
The other twenty or so Noldor were all assigned to serve as scouts.
After sending out most of the uninjured Noldor Elves, Sedren returned to Leon's side.
"Your Excellency Leon, the wounded and supplies here must be moved, especially the children, but I am short of manpower right now...... I fear that the Cato will go and return. ”
It was obvious that Sederen was asking for help from Leon, and there were only a dozen or so people left at his side.
But now there were dozens of wounded, and supplies piled up in half a stable, and three young children who stared at Leon with wide eyes and fear......
There are no roads in the forest, no wagons, it is very inconvenient to transport anything, there are only a few foals left in the stables, and I guess the others (this chapter is not finished!). )
Chapter 173: Creating Opportunities for the Enemy
Adult horses have long been used to transport supplies.
"Where are you going to transfer this?"
Lord Lord frowned, it was right to transfer supplies and horses before this horse farm was attacked, because at that time it was not known how many enemies there were.
But now, after a fight, it is not a good choice to transfer supplies, because those Gatu people have certainly not gone far.
"Our family has a settlement of more than 200 people about sixty miles to the east, and the family's weapons workshop is also there......"
Sederen stroked Leon and saluted again.
"Sixty miles...... Weapons workshop for more than 200 people...... It's dedicated to crafting weapons and equipment, right? There must be fireworks and loud noises there, right? ”
The lord shook his head, looking disapproving of Sedren's intentions.
"Yes, Lord Leon, you mean ......"
Sederen visibly became nervous, and he thought that Leon didn't want to help him.
"I mean, if I were a Cato, I wouldn't have gone far. I'll lay an ambush around here, both to attack a lone ranger and to ambush a transport team. ”
Leon shook his head, feeling that Noldor's mind seemed to be out of proportion to their age, probably because he had been in the forest for too long, and his mind had become rigid.
Sederen was probably always thinking about how to avoid losses, but in fact it was more dangerous to move supplies at such times.
Neither raising war horses nor making weapons and armor could be done in the city, so the Fenway family's estate was all built in the forest.
But if you want to produce weapons and equipment, you have to forge them at high temperatures - at least find a place where you can safely light a fire and have a water source, otherwise it will be all over if you start a forest fire......
It is not easy to find such a suitable place in the primeval forest, so the distance between the two places is sixty miles.
Sixty miles doesn't sound like a long distance, but the distance in the primeval forest in the mountains is completely different from the sixty miles in the plains in general......
On the plain roads, whether by horse-drawn carriage or on the back of a man, you can travel 60 miles in three or four hours.
But transporting the wounded and goods by hand in the primeval forest, even if you are familiar with the route, may take 30 hours to reach your destination.
There are no roads and carriages in the forest, and most people must be disarmed to transport supplies, otherwise they will not be able to carry supplies through the primeval forest with dozens of pounds of weight - in this case, if they encounter an ambush, there is only a dead end, and cold weapons warfare cannot be fought without equipment.
Maybe Leon's judgment was based on feeling, but if he was going to attack Noldor, he would definitely do it.
The Cato wouldn't have fought Noldor head-on in the forest, so they did.
Sederen also frowned, this was originally just a simple substitute thinking, but perhaps it was the arrogance in the Noldor bones that made him never think in this way - just like humans would never actively substitute for monkey thinking.
"Whether it's here or that weapon workshop, this relatively empty space is easy for the Gatu to find and find. In addition, the two-hundred-person weapon workshop must have a lot of fireworks and sounds, so it is likely that there are also a large number of enemies around the weapons workshop...... Sederen, what you should be thinking about now is not to transfer supplies, but how to quickly take out the enemy on this side, and then go to the rescue! ”
Leon said as he pointed to the sparsely wooded environment outside: "In fact, this kind of relatively empty place is the most suitable for the Gatu to fight, so the Gatu will not leave here easily, they must still be nearby." And your people will be safer if they stay in the primeval forest! So I suggest you hide all the wounded and children in the forest to the south. As for the horses, the grain, the saddles, and the like—leave the things that the Cato want most in the stables, waiting for them to grab them! We could have ambushed the Gatu here! ”
After Leon finished speaking, he pointed to his troops again, and told Sederen that it was best to change his thinking, and that fishing law enforcement could be tried: "The Gatu people will definitely continue to observe the situation in the horse farm, and we can work together to set up an ambush in this horse farm, and there are ready-made bait in the stables...... Let's give the enemy a chance, and they'll come! ”
Sederen thought about it for a while, and discussed it very seriously with Leon (this chapter is not finished!). )
Chapter 173: Creating Opportunities for the Enemy
After a specific tactic, he gathered the remaining dozen or so Noldor warriors and scattered them all to serve as scouts in the surrounding forests.
He felt that Li Ang was reasonable, he had too few manpower before, and the maneuver space was not high. But now that Li Ang has more than 200 people under his command, and his own subordinates are very familiar with the environment, he can indeed lure the enemy into an ambush.
Half a day later, several Noldor warriors came back out of breath.
They found the Gatu in the forest to the north, probably the same ones who had retreated earlier, and they were indeed hiding in the nearby woods.
"Let's go!"
The lord left the horse farm with his troops, and it seemed to be heading east.
Several foals were released from the stables and began to run merrily around the stables. These blue-yellow ponies are young and don't understand anything, and they look happy when they're bouncing around.
Only Anson and a few men were still healing their wounds next to the stable, sweating profusely.
An Dongjia stared at Anson intently beside him, helping a little from time to time.
The entire horse farm looked defenseless, except for a team of thirty men patrolling the horse farm, this is the Noldor warrior under Saidren, who has just returned from a scout mission.
In fact, this method of luring the enemy is not too detailed, as long as the enemy has the brain, he will not be fooled, after all, he had just fought half a day ago, and now it is obviously more suspicious to put on this posture.
So nothing happened until the evening, and the foal returned to the stable, and everyone went into the huge stable, where it seemed to be to rest.
And the lord also returned to the horse farm with a troop, and after a few more turns, he led his troops south.
Along the way, countless birds were startled.
Looking at the trajectory of those birds being frightened, it seems that they have been going far south.
A few hours later, it was already night, the moon was thin, and the sound of several night owls rang out.
The Cato people came after all.
Presumably, for the Cato people, those foals were treasures......
In the eyes of the Catu, Leon's troops had most likely set up ambushes before, and when they first headed east, they were apparently ambushing nearby.
But the Cato did not move, so they waited until evening for Leon to return.
But now his troops must have gone all the way south, at least for several miles, in the form of the birds in the evening.
The Cato did not use their previous stragglers, and most of them were bound up with bows and formed an irregular arc towards the stables, which seemed to be quite cautious.
This is the most suitable array for more people to bully less.
But there was no reaction in the stables.
It wasn't until the Gatu approached that they were only two or three hundred meters away from the stables that the stables finally opened their doors.
A group of soldiers came out of the dark stables and lined up in front of the stables, but after only a minute they all fled.
Because the Cato had come close to a distance of only a hundred meters, they began to fire arrows—they could not shoot at each other due to the huge difference in numbers, and the side with fewer people would have to run away.
They all ran to the back of the stables, and they looked like they were running away.
The Cato continued to advance slowly and cautiously a few steps towards the stable, and finally relented—there were already dozens of people in the stable, and now there were not too many people inside.
It was only a stable of less than 1,000 square meters, and there was obviously the sound of horses in it, and it was obviously impossible to hide more soldiers and horses.
With a high-pitched "Hasa! Gato! Their pace began to pick up until they charged at full speed.
There was still no reaction in the stable, except for a few neighing of foals.
Then, a group of Cato rushed into the stables without any confrontation at all.
But they immediately let out a louder scream than the "Hazah" just now......
