Chapter 303: The Dragon Clan's Shot (Part I)

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?"

Such an idea suddenly popped into Augustine's mind, but he immediately shook his head and 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. (To be continued......)
