The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, the name of the knight king is really not covered, when the crown prince Yuge ate the jelly bean, disguised himself as his father, and rode around the team, all the restless knights were quiet, although the morale did not see much recovery, but the command was unblocked - otherwise there would be no need for Sinampei to deliberately implement any measures to reduce the stove, and the stove would be reduced every day.

Although more than 20,000 people broke through this time, there were not many supplies and horses, except for the problem of the instability of the team, in the next few days, small and fragmented problems have also been plaguing the people moving south, but compared to the huge threat from the north, these small problems are nothing.

"According to the scout's report, the Earl of Lipton, with about ten thousand pursuers, has approached thirty miles from us. "In the king's tent, the king's faction, which had rallied closely around the Valoa family, once again shook off the others and held a small meeting," Mr. Si's plan to reduce the stove was basically successful, and Caledonia threw off his baggage and pursued us almost nothing. But the problem is, the effect seems to be too good, and we are still half a day away from our intended ambush site, and I fear that we will be attacked by them before we are ready......"

The king had woken up, but he was still very weak, his face was pale, there was not a trace of blood on his lips, he could not even stand up on his own, but lay on a stretcher and listened quietly to the discussion of the others. But on the crucial issue, he was still able to endure the pain in his right lung, and said two words - the bullet that pierced his right chest had already hurt his lung.

"Davi, you don't have to worry too much, no matter how good the soldiers of Caledonia are, they are strangers who are not familiar with the place, and they will not chase so fast, not to mention, they don't have many cavalry. The king waved his hand with difficulty, "Just do what Mr. Si arranges, I believe in his wisdom." ”

Because the floodplain was full of swamps, not only was the infantry extremely slow, but the cavalry was completely unable to move, so the Caledonian who went south this time did not have much cavalry.

"Thank you for your trust, then tonight...... I will bring you a victory that will shock the continent, Your Majesty. Sinampei bowed heavily.

Whether it's dead or alive depends on tonight...... Although he still pretended to be calm and calm on the surface, in fact, Sinan Pei was more nervous than everyone present.

......

The dwindling number of stoves in Cape's army had already attracted the attention of Earl Lipton, and although he had already sensed that it might be a trap, the constant encounters with Cape's deserters on the road gradually dispelled his suspicions—this was certainly true, because the Capet's army was already unstable, but he could not have noticed that the number of deserters was far from as many as the number of stoves. When he thought that 3,000 or more of Cape's army were deserters every day, only a fifth of them actually left the ranks every day - and some of them were mercenaries.

After all, the temptation to do everything in one battle was great, and the Earl of Lipton, who was no longer young, wanted to make this battlefield his perfect finale. As long as he kills or captures Hugue, so that the Varroa family has no heir, he can go home and enjoy his family with his wife and daughter.

In the eyes of some, war is the spice of a tasteless life, the entertainment that makes life interesting, but for others, it is nothing more than a sinful thing that makes them feel physically and mentally exhausted.

As it happens, the Earl of Lipton is the latter kind of person. Of course, as a soldier, he does not have the kindness of a woman, and he adheres to the idea that if he can kill a small number of people, and can buy peace for the vast majority, then it is worth it.

It was already evening in the blink of an eye, and as the sun set in the west, the visibility began to decrease rapidly, but the Earl of Lipton, who had not seen the shadow of Cape's army for several days, still had no intention of slowing down the pursuit.

One party is on the run, the other side is chasing, and now the competition is who can hold on better.

That is until he encounters a group of Capetian routs on the road who have no formation to speak of.

When these Capetian soldiers saw Earl Lipton, they decisively laid down their arms and surrendered without the slightest hesitation.

The leader of the rout was brought to him by the Earl of Lipton's guards.

"When did you separate from Capet's main force?"

"At supper, Your Excellency. "The leader of the defeated army turned grim, "Those kings sent us to pay the taxes in their own territories, and when they heard of our righteous refusal, those fellows sent us to carry out the mission of the queen under the pretense of public welfare, hoping that we would be sent to death." ”

Earl Lipton looked at the leader of the rout with an indifferent expression, he never believed the words of the captive, but he never believed it all: "Now, how many people are still in Cape's army?"

"Nineteen thousand, Your Excellency. ”

"How can there be so many?" Earl Lipton frowned, "I see that the number of stoves you have been decreasing these days......"

"It was a ruse by the Gentile with the surname Si. Damn, I don't know what benefits His Majesty gave him to make him work so hard. The leader of the rout said hatefully, "The idea of sending us to the queen of the palace this time was also his idea, hmph, if it falls into my hands one day, I will definitely let him taste what life is better than death!"

"Your Majesty?" the Earl of Lipton wondered. Even if Henry died, it would be impossible for Hugg to announce his accession to the throne under such conditions.

"Originally, we thought that something had happened to Majesty, but later we found out that Majesty had nothing to do ......"

After finishing the conversation and thinking for a long time, Earl Lipton made a decision: "Gather the resting team and pursue it at full speed!

His idea was simple: in any case, although he still seemed to be strong, the knight king was already in a dangerous situation - he still had 20,000 men at his disposal, but he was still afraid of the enemy army that was lightly armed, and had to rack his brains to use a trick, which was the best proof of this. And as long as you still have an elite army in your hands, then you are not afraid of a meaningless conspiracy.

He may have been right, but it ended up costing his army.

Because, Si Nanpei's original idea was to make him think that he understood Cape's calculations, and then chase after him boldly with confidence, instead of hesitating and stopping!
