When Hadi's army came to the military artery of the West City, they saw that the gate was closed.

And with the arrival of the army, the soldiers on the city wall looked very nervous.

Hardy beckoned.

Rogge next to him immediately understood what Hardy meant, and stepped forward and shouted: "This is His Excellency Hadi, the viscount of the Jeanne family, we need to go out of the city, why don't we open the city gate." ”

After the guards above panicked for a while, a young man finally came out and shouted: "The king has an order, there is an important matter to deal with today, and the army cannot leave the city." ”

Hearing this, Hardy knew that things had turned out as he had expected.

Although there are not many troops stationed here, it will still take a lot of time to storm it, and there will be great battle damage.

He didn't talk nonsense at the moment, turned around and said, "Half of the scout team will follow me...... Rogge. ”

"Yes."

"You take the others back to Jeanne Manor." Hardy looked into the distance and said quickly, "Remember, after returning to the manor, you only follow the orders of Lady Sissi, and no one else can command you, understand?" ”

Rogge knelt down on one knee with resolute eyes: "Yes!" ”

Hadi immediately rode away from the main gate.

The main gate is for ordinary entrances and exits, and the gate is not very open, and can only accommodate two people passing side by side at a time, because it is not suitable for large armies to travel.

But Hadi rode over with a dozen horses, and when the civilians near the city gate saw it, they immediately flashed aside.

But in and out of the city, there were caravans, carriages in the inner lanes of the city gates.

They could cut the line, but it was impossible to turn back the caravan wagons that had entered the inner passage of the city gate, so they could only follow slowly behind.

The soldiers who were guarding did not hinder them, but let them go out through the narrow gates of the city through Ire.

More than a dozen people, with a dozen horses, passed, and when they had already cut in line, it took two or three minutes for them all to get out.

If it is a large army going out, plus the logistics of the food team, if you want to go out from the main city gate, it is impossible to go out without half a day.

Therefore, the old king did not forbid them to go out of the city through the main gate.

He even hoped that the army of the Na family would go out of the city in small batches like this.

This makes it easier for them to break them down one by one.

But Hardy only brought out a dozen scouts, and there was no such large-scale expedition.

As soon as he left the city, Hardy led the scouts to a high ground.

The terrain here is not vast and not suitable for large armies, but the height is high enough for reconnaissance.

Looking down from the high ground, you can see the surrounding situation much more clearly.

On the strategic heights near the forest farm, the lion flag flutters.

"It's really taken down." Hardy sat on his horse and shook his head helplessly.

Although the personalities of Jeanne's family are all good, their strategic vision is really not good, and their political sense is not good.

Now that I think about it, they can survive until a few years later, and they haven't completely collapsed, which is quite powerful.

Then he looked around and saw that in the distance, near the Silver Wing Knights, four armies were stationed.

If you look closely, the largest infantry regiment is the Janissaries of the royal family, followed by two medium infantry regiments with the lion banner, and one medium infantry regiment with the two-headed dragon banner.

"The enemy's four infantry regiments combined, should have more than three thousand people." Hardy looked at the location of the Silver Wing Knights, frowned and said, "The Silver Wing Knights plus Victor's infantry regiment should have about a thousand troops. But the strange thing is why the Knights didn't fight before, and let the infantry regiment surround it so 'close'. ”

It takes a certain distance for a cavalry regiment to launch a charge attack.

The light cavalry was better, and within fifty meters it could increase its speed to the point where it could storm the enemy's formation.

But the heavy cavalry had to be at least a hundred meters.

The Silver Wing Knights, all heavy cavalry.

And now, the enemy's four infantry regiments have been suppressed to a range of about 80 meters.

It can be seen that the battle between the two sides is about to break out.

However, the distance between the four infantry regiments was quite long, and they were scattered and stationed, presumably to prevent the knights from escaping.

"I've just taken office, so give me such a big 'test'." Hadi sighed uncomfortably, turned to the cavalry, and said, "You and I rushed in through the gap between the four infantry regiments, and we must not hesitate or be distracted by any situation on the way, understand?" ”

More than a dozen scouts nodded their heads.

If Hardy had said let them rush in on their own, they would probably not have been willing.

But Hardy took the lead and rushed in, and it was a different story.

This is the difference between 'charge me' and 'charge me'.

Hadi whipped his horsewhip and rushed down the heights, taking advantage of the edge of the woods by the roadside to cover himself as much as he could, and then galloped between the royal guard and a regiment of lion infantry.

No one stopped them.

It's too late to stop it.

Peter Clovis was on the simple lookout of his barracks, and after seeing Hardy's figure sweeping by, he even smiled proudly: "Just waiting for you to go in." ”

When Hardy and the others were still about 100 meters away from the Knights of the Silver Wing, they asked the scouts to unfurl the Angel Statue banner of Jeanna's house.

The gates of the Order quickly opened.

Hardy rushed in with the scouts, and the soldiers quickly closed the door again.

I'm afraid that if I am a second late, an enemy will rush in.

As soon as I entered the garrison, I saw the school field in the center of the barracks, full of dead and wounded.

The wounded are wailing lowly, and several chaplains are trying to save the seriously wounded.

But there is a clear shortage of manpower.

The air smelled of blood.

The soldiers around him all looked uneasy.

Hardy's heart tightened, and his morale looked very low.

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a Wu Chang came out of the tent, and when he saw Hadi, he immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Your Excellency Hadi, it's actually you, it's great." ”

Hardy greeted him and asked, "How could the casualties be so serious?" What about Dora and Victor? ”

"It's all in the manager's tent." The captain's face was gloomy: "Both of your Excellencies have been injured, and Your Excellency Dora has not woken up yet. ”

Hardy walked briskly into the tent and saw Victor with bandages on his head and hands.

His eyes were blank and his head hung down.

On the other side, two priests are teaming up to treat Dora's wounds while she is lying.

Hardy walked over and saw a deep, flat diamond-shaped wound in the middle of Dora's chest.

Blood was still pouring out of it.

This shape is on the small side, and it should be a stab wound from a short sword or dagger.

Hardy asked, "How is Lord Dora?" ”

One of the priests looked up and replied, "Life is saved, and the wound can stop bleeding, but to wake up, it will take at least two or three days, and he has lost too much blood." ”

Hardy turned his head to look at the other man from Jeanne's family and asked, "Your Excellency Victor, what happened, and why did your infantry regiment suffer so much loss?" ”

Lying on the ground were leather-armored foot soldiers.

The soldiers in the Knights, except for the logistics troops, the rest of the knights are all in white armor, which is easy to distinguish.

"My father came to the high ground with a dozen cavalrymen and told me to come down the mountain and camp so that the soldiers could rest for a while." Victor's face was full of shame: "But I didn't expect that we would be ambushed after we came down...... Then one of my guards assassinated my father. ”
