Chapter 39: The Battle of Norman City
"Somebody's coming. Uncle Bolton put down the bottle in his hand and stood up, saying with a drunken expression on his face.
"Pack your things. I beckoned to everyone.
"All of you hide, Nia, Rarevi, you two and I go and find out. Uncle Bolton waved his hand, and then put the glass bottle into the space ring.
"Ah, me?" said Larive, confused, and reluctant.
"Yes! Uncle Burton said sternly.
"Let's go. I patted Larevi on the shoulder and said, I can still see Uncle Burton's intentions, although Larevi is weaker, but that is only relative, the students he teaches, if there is no one to make, it will not stay with him, Larevi has a great advantage is concealment, she does much better than others in this regard, generally she is always behind her sister silently afraid of the little girl who is afraid of death, and even once even Bolton did not find out.
Soon everyone was looking for a place to hide in the bushes or something, and it was easy to find a place to hide, and it was done in a matter of minutes, and I, LaRevie, and Uncle Bolton immediately rushed into the nearest bush where the voice came.
On the opposite side was a small team, dressed in regular military uniforms, looking very haggard, obviously battle-hardened, with a very obvious mark on the khaki uniforms.
"Who?" said Larryvi, poking his little head out.
"I don't know, I haven't seen that sign. Uncle Burton replied, his eyes full of doubt and uneasiness, strange, could he be upset just because of doubt?
"Uncle Burton, do you have any ideas?" I asked.
"Just a guess......," said Uncle Burton, "I haven't seen this team, I'm not sure, if it's a new team that isn't famous, it's nothing, but look at what they look like...... Not quite like our Colt non-imperial people. ”
"You mean!" I widened, and according to Burton, there was only one possibility...... What people from the empire came to play in our country in this time of war? How could it be, it was a team of military configurations!
There are two possibilities: Penetrating through my father's army and infiltrating our country's reconnaissance team! There is another possibility, my father's army has fallen, and the enemy army has marched into our country without the slightest news reaching us, this is still the enemy's reconnaissance team! The advance team of a large army! That is to say, in the worst-case scenario, there is still a group of troops behind it!
"At worst, Katephine loses. Uncle Burton swallowed.
"What? Who's Katifen?" asked Larevi, puzzled.
"My dad. ”
Uncle Burton stretched out his big hand and pressed my shoulder, and said: "Nia, these people are handed over to me, you and Larevi will assist me a little later, we have to inform the others of the situation, if Katifen is really defeated, it can be said that the province of Linobi has fallen, and the next one is the province of Dama, we need to be prepared for war, prepare for the worst, we need to withdraw quickly." ”
"Okay...... "If Linobi Province has been breached, then what about the father?
And a week ago......
The continent of Ainolan, the border between the Biel Empire in the east and the Coltfi Empire in the west, Norman City in the territory of the Coltfi Empire.
Our Earl of Katefafen, Nia's father, had just finished writing his letter home, and went out of his tent to stretch, and then summoned his attendant and gave him the letter.
"The date of the peace talks is only these two days. "Remember to tell her not to worry, I will be back soon, and by the way, my son, and I will be back before his birthday." ”
"Yes, Lord Earl, I swear to bring the words to the ears of the lady and the young master. The attendant gave a military salute and immediately left the place.
Then Kadifen summoned the chief of staff, and arranged a few orders cumbersomely, and he still needs to fight a battle today, of course, Katifen is now very tired of this kind of battle, extremely boring and very cursed Biel's peace messenger did not accidentally lead the horse into a mule, so slow, he is still in a hurry to go home for his son's birthday!
"My lord, will it be too troublesome, the enemy should be about to surrender. The chief of staff asked suspiciously.
"We must not let our guard down, although the enemy has a tendency to surrender, but this battle will still be fought, and the devil knows when the enemy's messenger will come, and what if the commander of Biel on the opposite side is a man who has done his best, and at such a time he still fights in earnest? ”
"Yes, sir. After receiving the order, the chief of staff went down, and when he came to the general point, he began to curse, "What commander, mother, bored to death, what are you going to prepare when the enemy is going to surrender, which time does it work, your people are so brave and fight by themselves, no one can fight here at all! Not all soldiers are yours! Alas! No matter what!"
And almost noon, the battle finally started again, Kadifen rode on the war horse and led the army out of the city gate slowly, but immediately startled, what is the situation, the private army he brought is a little better, with his side, not with his side has been raised to the extreme, but the other people, the local army, the army allocated by the state, all look lazy, what kind of soldier is this! What kind of war is this!
So Kadifen reprimanded them fiercely, so these soldiers showed him a little bit, but it looked like there was no fighting spirit at all, and a few yawns appeared from time to time, but fortunately he brought a few hundred private troops over, plus the other party is also such a team, otherwise what else to fight.
Soon, the enemy's army also appeared in sight, no different from what I usually saw, but it seemed to be much worse than usual, the figure was completely unchanged, and many people didn't even have armor, oh my God, what's going on today, didn't both sides have the slightest morale!
Soon the trumpets of war sounded, and the armies on both sides rushed up quickly, and the real battle began, and the soldiers who were lazy were all serious, and in any case, it was still desperate.
"Kill!" shouted Katifen twice, drew his sword from his waist and raised it high, and then led the charge out, several bands of cavalry quickly followed, and then the ranks swarmed out.
"Kill, kill!" the shouts of slaughter quickly raised morale to the highest level, and the enemy army slowed down as they ran, and even a few of them turned around and ran after a while.
"What!" Katephine couldn't believe his eyes, how could these people from Biel be eaten in an instant!
So the morale of the team rose a notch again, Kadifen took the brunt of the cavalry team and first entered Biel's army, the first to take a look, the front of the other side was quickly trampled on the ground by the horses with shields, some were kicked by the horses' hooves, and flew backwards with the shields, and when they really rushed to the enemy ranks, Katifen found that some of these people didn't even have weapons!
Kaidifen immediately realized that these people also wanted to live! It's just that they didn't have any armaments and materials, and they didn't even have basic daily training! They could only use tree branches as weapons! In order to increase their combat effectiveness, they sharpened it!
Katifen swung his sword, and a streak of bright red blood splattered out, mercilessly taking the life of the man in front of him.
This is...... Slave army! Consumables on the battlefield! A simple consumable is a few words that can be understood, and it is purely used as a toy to throw at the opposing soldiers!
"Kill!" The army of the Coltfi Empire quickly rushed over and quickly joined the battle, however, the blood that splattered was from the people of Biel, with intact armor and swords, the Coltfi Empire was not fighting at all now, it was simply a massacre!
Why is this so? Katifen's heart was full of doubts and uneasiness, there was no reason, there was no reason why slaves were still wasted at such a time? Aren't they all going to surrender? And looking at the current situation, is the enemy going to fight? The population is too large? Consume it? It's not necessary!
And just when Kedifen was puzzled, the casualties on Biel's side had already passed half, and it was expected that the war would end in a short time, and at this time, Caidifen suddenly saw that high planks were erected on Biel's camp, tall and thick planks, one by one, forming a triangle, and below these things, a figure was busy, they were all wearing the regular army uniforms of the Biel Empire, armor, and swords.
Katifen, who was familiar with the battlefield, did not hesitate to recognize what those things were, stone throwers, siege machines, damn it, what did his scouts eat, and this kind of thing was transported to the front line, since there was no news at all!
"Damn it!" shouted Katifen, calling the retinue officers beside him, "Gather the men and horses to attack the other party's camp!"
Soon all the private army of Kadifen was taken up, and the rest ...... At this time, they were enjoying the fun of slaughter, and they didn't care about the towering logs on the opposite side.
"Follow me!" shouted Katifen and led the team to rush over, and at this moment, an army of more than 100 people rushed out from behind Biel's camp!
"Master Katifen!"
"Damn! since it's hiding here!Assault the whole army!Defeat them for me!" shouted Katifen, his mind was already in turmoil at this time, such a big piece of information was too passive to not get this battle!
