The sky was overcast, the sun's rays were weaker than in the morning, the sky was dim, as if overwhelming, the warriors were resting beside a forest, and the horses made a 'clatter' sound, which made the warriors' mood slightly relaxed.

In the previous battle, the Second Banner Regiment did not disgrace the glory of the 27th Corps, although Claude had already prepared, his arrangement was still completely defeated and went south.

Twenty kilometers south of the battle, Claude was also resting with the rest of his First Banner Regiment, but the situation was much worse than that of the Second Banner Regiment.

Not far away is a puddle left by the rise of the Chatria River, and the clear water indicates that it will take a long time for a swamp to form.

"My lord, we have suffered heavy losses this time, should we keep marching south until we meet Lance, that can also preserve the strength of the corps!" Harold came to sit down beside Claude with a water bottle in his hand.

Losing so many troops at one time, as the flag officer of the First Banner Regiment, those are all his subordinates.

Claude smiled slightly, "Harold, do you think the other party will chase after you?"

Avoiding Harold's topic, Claude asked rhetorically.

"No!" Harold said, in his true mind.

Harold knew very well in his heart that Claude's plan, not only himself, but even the entire First Banner Regiment had become bait for fishing, but the fish he caught were very smart, so not only had to be patient, but also had to pay the price.

When he said 'no', Harold's heart sank again, and he thought that Claude would go south to join the Second Banner Regiment first. But now it seems. His First Banner Regiment is going to be Claude's pawn again.

Although the First Banner Regiment originally belonged to the Claude Corps. But his first flag regiment is different from the other two major flag regiments, this flag regiment is trained by him Harold, and many of them are veterans who have followed him for many years, so let them go to death, Harold can't bear it.

If one day the Droiana Army would establish the Harold Corps, these veterans would be extremely valuable workhorses, and now, for a so-called plan. One by one, they died on the battlefield.

Time was precious, and both sides wanted to regain their strength in the shortest possible time, and finally, Augustin gave the order to act, and the Second Banner Regiment was deployed.

In order to save horsepower, all the soldiers are not riding on horses at the moment, in the recent battle, the body of the war horse is very expensive, if it is not fully replenished, it will become very passive in this dangerous environment.

Two hours. The Second Flag Regiment had only traveled 15 kilometers, which showed how slow it was. And there was still a long way to go before Claude's new camp, and besides, the two sides had just fought a big battle during the day, and the soldiers were already exhausted, and it was difficult to make any big moves at night.

There was no word all night, and dawn came.

Andus still hasn't changed much, and if he had to find something, it's that the clouds in the sky aren't so dense anymore.

Augustine had a good night's sleep, and generally people who practice martial arts run martial arts before going to bed, which is also a kind of cultivation, and it has a great boost to the spirit of the next day.

"Ian, Alan, morning. Augustin stretched as he greeted the two in the distance.

"Good morning, sir!" Ian and Alan replied at the same time.

"How was yesterday's rest, I'm afraid we won't be blessed like this again in the coming days. Augustine joked that if such a life could be considered a blessing, then Avesna's Ifery would not be like living in heaven.

As soon as Augustine finished speaking, all three of them burst into laughter.

"How are the soldiers?" said Augustine, who did not forget his own soldiers.

"It's all fine, it's just that I was seriously injured yesterday, and more than a dozen of them didn't get through. Ian replied.

Hearing this, Augustin's expression darkened, but he knew that war, such things would still happen.

The number of people who can fight in the Second Banner Regiment has been sharply reduced by half, and another two or three hundred people are wounded, and the combat strength is less than fifty percent.

Further south, the swamps have become less and less, but the forests have become larger, with only narrow roads leading to Guò, which stretches all the way to a mountainous area in the south-east of the county, where the Cukusur Gorge is located.

And in addition to getting guò between the forests, there is another way, and that is to take a detour to Wiesna.

This familiar western city of Andus, now it is peaceful, the war has not burned there, everything is still running around 'life', but there will be some fresh news in the town of Onnas, such as the death toll there, more and more, but Honas has been like this for a long time, no one will doubt anything.

By the help of Wiesner, Claude did not do that, and he believed that the men and horses of the Twentieth Corps would not do that either, wasting a day, and no one would do such a stupid thing in such a situation.

With the lesson of the last time, Augustine was extremely careful this time, the scouts explored more than ten miles away, and there were special people to carefully search the forest, until it was confirmed that there were no ambushes, Augustine ordered the whole regiment to pass Guò.

After traveling for several miles, the scout in front suddenly came to report that he had found traces of Claude's legion, or rather, the entire legion there.

Hearing this, Augustin's brows suddenly tightened, and he looked at Ian and Allen on the left and right.

"My lord, it seems that Claude is not ready to continue running, shall we?" asked Ian tentatively.

Augustine listened to Ian's words, and pondered for a while, from the beginning he didn't think that Claude was running away, until now, he still thinks like this, whether it is the number of troops or the overall combat strength, there is no need for the other party to escape.

Despite this, the entire Second Banner Regiment did not stop advancing, and time passed little by little, until the Second Banner Regiment had crossed a high ground again, and Augustine saw the situation that the scout had described.

I saw that on another high ground in the distance, a large number of soldiers lined up, just opposite their own front.

Looking at the situation in the distance, Augustine raised his left hand, and the herald next to him sent a message to stop his advance.

"Does the other party really want to compete with him?"

Augustine's mind popped into such an idea. But he shook his head immediately. Quickly cut off this thought. And Claude didn't give Augustin much time to think, because he had given the order to attack on all fronts!

Seeing the opponent's soldiers and horses coming towards him, it was too late to retreat now, and the Second Banner Regiment fell into passivity for a while.

"The Twenty-seventh Corps belongs, ready for battle!" Augustine immediately decided and ordered to meet the enemy.

With an order. The soldiers and horses behind him hurriedly ran left and right, and in a short time, they were ready to fight. From this point of view, the first few battles of the Second Flag Regiment were not without benefit.

As the opposing horses galloped wildly, the distance between the two sides was rapidly narrowing, but Augustine still did not give the order to attack.

"Throwers, crossbowmen ready!" another order, but it didn't stop long, "Go!", only to hear Augustine roar, countless spears and crossbows galloped out from his camp. Lost in the opponent's battle formation.

Just when the opponent's formation was a little chaotic, Augustin gave the order to attack. The soldiers of the Second Banner Regiment drew their long swords one after another, held them firmly in front of their chests, and rode towards each other.

In the distance, Claude was carrying a spear, and on one side of him, Harold followed closely, both of them surrounded by streamers, apparently the light emitted by Wu Neng.

Augustin was riding his horse to meet the battle, and when he saw the two people coming from the other party, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he was more cautious in his heart, Harold's might, he had personally experienced it, not to mention that there was another Claude.

The two sides met, soldier to soldier, and another fierce fight, but in an instant, the number of casualties on both sides had reached a new height, because the battle had just been fought yesterday, and the soldiers who were wounded themselves suffered a big loss at this time, and many of them were killed by the opponent's soldiers with one blow.

It was not uncommon on the battlefield for many of the horses to go mad and carry the dead soldiers on their backs, and to go far away from the steppe.

"Ahh

The same situation is not uncommon in this battle, whether it is a soldier or an officer, it is a desperate state, and the white-hot battle has caused heavy losses on both sides.

Time, in the shadow of the sword, flashed by.

At the end of the war, Claude was still followed by more than a thousand cavalry, and behind Augustine, the number had dropped to seven or eight hundred cavalry.

Quietly, both sides were reezing for a short period of time.

"Kill!"

It was still Claude, and the order had numbed all the soldiers, as if he was not shouting an attack, but rushing over to cut off the other party's head as soon as he heard the word.

It's another round, the combat power of the second flag regiment is growing rapidly, this time, the two sides quickly staggered each other, and five hundred horsemen disappeared behind Claude, and then looking at the second flag regiment, in terms of numbers, it has faintly gained the upper hand.

Claude seemed to have expected this outcome, and before his own soldiers and horses could react, he rode his horse towards the southeast, and the rest of the soldiers were stunned, and suddenly woke up to the fact that his general regarded his people as the last shield.

Augustin watched as the two horsemen rushed southeast from the opposing camp, and recognized them as Claude and Harold at a glance.

"Attack!"

This time, it was Augustine who launched the attack first, aiming at Claude's neck, although it was taken by the opponent's force, but in the face of hundreds of crossbow arrows, the opponent was probably unable to do it.

The first banner regiment of the Claude Corps, this bait is indeed big enough.

Harold followed behind Claude, without saying a word, his heart was dripping blood, the flag regiment he brought out single-handedly, 10,000 soldiers and horses, was also one of the best in the Droiana army, in the battle against the empire, the destruction of the 16th Corps, his banner regiment decided the life and death of the other party in a battle, and in the face of the cavalry of the 16th Corps, it was also like a devastating and decaying, completely destroying the 16th Corps.

Now, a qiē is no longer a zài, a soldier and a horse. Glory.

But Claude couldn't care about so much. This sacrifice can only be exchanged for the final victory. It was worth it, he still had the second flag regiment, and the third flag regiment, and as long as he was victorious, he would still be the general of the Claude corps, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at his disposal.

Fate will always play some jokes on people, important or unimportant, to keep people in time. It doesn't seem too boring. -- Don Haacke, a well-known scholar in mainland China

Huck is very philosophical, so people love him, but a person will never be popular with everyone, and if someone loves him, someone will spit on him.

At this time, Claude hated this sentence very much, because his second flag regiment was gone.

Augustine had chased the Tsateria, back to the east, and they were now in the southeast of the Cukusur Gorge, with the city of Cukusur to the north.

Ian had advised Augustine. Claude did not panic when he escaped, but as if he had already prepared for it. Even the route is clear.

But Augustine didn't listen to these words, and if he wanted to use a flag group as bait, and then let himself chase and kill him, this kind of courage, he Augustine thought he couldn't do it.

Besides, the opponent's forces have been exhausted, even if it is a trap, it is a big chance, after all, there are only two people on the other side.

And at this time, Kus's second flag regiment is really gone.

When Sirin's men and horses arrived at Kukusur, they didn't notice anything unusual at first, and just as he was preparing to cross the river to besiege Claude, his scouts discovered Kus's men and horses.

After careful consideration, Xilin decided to take down the Kus Banner Regiment first, and then go to support Augustin, after all, Augustin is a flag regiment, as long as he does not collide with the enemy, it is more than enough to escape.

Since the decision had been made, Xilin did not hesitate, and immediately led his troops and horses to launch an attack on the Kusi Banner Regiment, and for a while, the two sides fought fiercely, and each suffered casualties.

Kus's subordinates were all infantry, and they knew how to avoid the cavalry, and began to rely on various favorable factors to resist the attack, but they did not leave the bridge not far from the lower reaches of the Kukusur Gorge.

In this way, since the other party will not leave, then he will teach the other party a hard lesson, but how can the cavalry be good at running, this kind of positional warfare is not suitable for them.

During the course of the day, Xilin launched several attacks, but the results were not too great, and that night, Xilin received a good news.

Cecil, the general of the left wing of the 19th Corps, had already led his troops and horses to be stationed five miles away.

The messenger came to deliver the message to a man whom Cillin had known for a long time - Dick.

Dick was the flag officer of the 1st Banner Regiment under Cecil, he and Sillin met during the battle of Dostol, and together they resisted the enemy under the city of Dostol, and rescued the current forward commander, that is, the pre-war commander Lord Reginod.

When acquaintances met, they couldn't help but be happy, but what made Xilin the happiest was the news brought by Dick, who was not good at attacking positional battles, but this Kusi Banner Regiment was estimated to be difficult for Lord Cecil.

That night, Dick conveyed Cillin's meaning to Cecil, the general of the left wing of the 19th Corps.

Cecil also thought that the fighter plane was fleeting, and immediately prepared for battle, and it just so happened that he was stationed less than ten miles from the camp of Kus.

At this time, Kus did not know about the arrival of the 19th Corps, and none of his scouts could rush out at the beginning of the battle, and all of them were cut off by Xilin's subordinates, making Kus a deaf and blind man at the beginning.

In the middle of the night, the 19th Corps ran for several kilometers, and suddenly launched an attack at 10 a.m., and the flag officer of the 2nd Banner Regiment of the Claude Corps, Kus, was still asleep when he was awakened by the sound of shouts of killing.

When he led his guards to meet him personally, he found the cavalry of the 27th Corps, and when Kus saw it, he secretly said that it was not good, so he immediately led his guards to flee south.

The 27th Corps and the 19th Corps once again cooperated satisfactorily, and the 27th Corps pursued them for thirty miles, and although Kus escaped, his Second Banner Regiment no longer existed. Less than 1,000 escaped, and the rest were captured or killed.

On the day that Kus went south, Claude and Harold came to the east of the river, but they did not see the shadow of the second banner regiment of Claude's regiment, but they could not be allowed to look for it, so they continued to go south.

Behind Augustine was still chasing, until now, Augustine and they had chased thirty kilometers, and the body of the war horse had long been difficult to support, and the speed was getting slower and slower.

Augustine and they did, and Claude and Harold couldn't have had any better.

Xilin was returning from the south, only to see the soldiers and horses galloping wildly in the distance, and thought that it was the soldiers and horses of the headquarters chasing the remnants of the Kus army, but he took a closer look, and the first person behind him was not Augustin, who was it, and immediately went towards Augustin with more than 100 personal guards.

Claude is really scared at the moment, without Kus's answer, the whole plan has been messed up, and now even his life is not guaranteed.

While he was feeling remorseful in his heart, Harold shouted loudly: "My lord, go south, I will stop them!"

"You?" Claude was shocked.

"Grown, go!"

With that, Harold began to slow down and turn his horse's head.

"Brother Harold, take care!" Claude looked at the pursuers behind him, said to Harold, and continued to flee south.

Augustin saw a person stop in the distance, and after a closer look, he saw that it was Harold, the flag officer of the other party, so he didn't care whether Claude lived or died, with this Harold in the way, he knew that it would be difficult to chase Claude again, so it was better to take down this person!

The two sides were more than ten feet apart, and Augustine's war horse gradually stopped, leaving only dozens of soldiers and horses behind him, and the rest of the people were already exhausted and did not keep up.

"Your Excellency is really outstanding, please make a move, forgive me Harold can't sit still!" said Harold with his head held high. (To be continued......)
