Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Burning of Bowangpo

With Barre's consent, Hans began to direct the men to prepare for battle.

Most of them, including Xiao Hei, had to leave Hongge Mountain to fight, and each of them lay in ambush at the designated position and waited for the arrival of the enemy soldiers, of course, he did not tell SΓΉ Reina.

......

Half a day later, Barre descended the mountain, along with Dumbo, Lilith, and a magician. They mounted their horses and walked towards the sea, until they went south, when they came across the cavalry that was going north.

The cavalry team saw a few people coming from the opposite side, and then a person in front shouted, "Who is in front?"

Barre and the others seemed to pretend to be okay at first, but when they were asked, they immediately reined in their horses. Barre asked, "Who are you?"

One of the knights at the head said, "I am Charlie, the captain of the knights of Leo City, and it is rumored that Prince Barre has reappeared, and we want to go to him." ”

Barre glanced at each other, then turned around and left. Charley saw it and shouted, "He's Barre!" "Actually, Charlie has already seen it, and he just wants to see if Barre can be fooled.

Barre and the others ran for a while, turning into a path that went inland together. The cavalry behind pursued all the way, but due to the small road, the originally huge team of knights could only run with two horses at the same time, and the team was stretched.

The cavalry's horses outraced Barre's, and then Lilith began to shoot arrows backwards from time to time, and the magician occasionally cast a few interception spells behind him.

However, Lilith's arrow was blocked by the knight's shield, and the magician's interception magic was obviously not very effective, and was simply defused by the magicians in the cavalry.

After running for a while, and seeing that they were about to be overtaken, Barre turned and ran into a wooded place, where the trees were sparse, and although there was no road, the horses had no problem running.

Horses running in the woods need to be nimble enough to avoid trees, which requires a lot of riding skills, and occasionally divert the direction of the run, making it a bit difficult for the people behind to catch up. Despite this, the cavalry behind still did not give up the pursuit, and they finally found Barre himself, and they must not let it go.

Running to a place, Barre suddenly stopped running, stopped and turned to look at the people of the cavalry. Captain Charlie immediately commanded to stop the pursuit, and he also realized that there might be a trap.

Then the magician next to Barre began to chant incantations, and one of the magicians in the cavalry shouted, "Beware of large magic circles." ”

Each mage in the team had defensive magic, but instead of using offensive magic, the mage cast a wall of fire spell that caught the cavalry between them.

Charlie looked at it and said, "Huh, do you want to escape?" and was about to catch up with him, when suddenly a volley of arrows came at him on the other side of the wall of fire and stopped Charley. Although his horses were heavily armoured and could not hurt him, they slowed down his pursuit.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in front of us, and it was a very strong wind, and the fire of the wall of fire began to burn towards the cavalry.

Charlie was startled, and he shouted, "Hurry up and put out the fire!"

At this moment, a magician shouted, "Watch out for the meteors!"

Charlie looked up and saw that he was almost gone, and a large pile of burning stones was falling on his head, this was meteor fire rain magic!

He didn't even bother to lead the horse, and immediately kicked it on the horse, holding his shield to defend against the meteor above, and quickly retreated.

At the same time, rockets began to shoot on all sides, most of them on the trees, and under a column of winds, the trees were soon burned, and it was already time to destroy the indestructible.

Charlie hurriedly shouted: "We retreat!"

When they all began to turn around and go back, they were dumbfounded, and they saw that flames began to burn slowly in all directions, and they were completely surrounded by flames, and something unbelievable happened, the wind was blowing towards them on all sides, and the trees burned and spread very quickly.

All the horses they rode were panicked and uncontrollable, and almost all of them chose to dismount. Then Charlie said, "Let's retreat south to the path we just had, and the magician will open the way and go as he puts out the fire!"

A group of people follow the magician, and they also have to watch the panicked group of horses behind them, who may be trampled to death if they are not careful.

Just as they were about to withdraw from the fire, the leading magician was suddenly hit by an arrow and fell.

Charlie looked at it and said, "Wait until I go ahead, and you will follow." He didn't care about setting himself on fire, and he didn't hesitate to die here in order to get the team out of danger.

The flames had completely enveloped them, and some of the soldiers' chain mail had been roasted to the core, and it was very painful to wear them, and gradually some people began to take off their armor, and even threw away their weapons.

Suddenly, I heard a soldier shouting from behind: "Those horses!

Charlie was already dazed, and there was still a road behind him?

The soldiers had completely disobeyed the command, and those behind began to run out towards a road without fire.

But as soon as the soldiers rushed out of the fire, they found themselves surrounded by dozens of people, and almost all of the soldiers were unequipped.

Then Barre shouted: "Surrender or kill, hurry to the back." ”

A group of soldiers had to follow their instructions to gather in one place, and some of the soldiers who came out with weapons were obviously afraid to resist.

Charley, who was in front of him, saw the situation and sighed, and said to the people behind him, "Go and follow Barre, he is the prince of France." ”

A magician asked, "What about you, Captain?"

Charlie said, "I am your leader, how can I surrender, even if I surrender they will not accept it." ”

Suddenly, it began to rain in the sky above Charley, and when he looked up, it was an artificial rain caused by water magic.

This eased his already almost charred body. But at the same time, he found that the remaining dozens of people around him were already surrounded by hundreds of people on the other side.

Barre said to him, "Mr. Charley, I hope you will help me to persuade the infantry on the other side, I don't want to kill the French people." ”

Charlie threw down his weapon, and he knelt down and said to Barre, "If the prince will forgive me for my offense, I will follow him for the rest of my life." ”

The others followed Charley and threw down their weapons, all of them kneeling on the ground.

The battle here ended in a moment, except for dozens of people who were burned to death, and a few who were unfortunately trampled to death by horses, and all the others surrendered.

Charley, on the other hand, had been treated, and followed Barre directly to the infantry, leaving only a team of about 100 men to collect the spoils of war and return to Hongge Mountain with the surrendered soldiers. Dumbo is in charge of calming the horses running around and bringing them back as much as possible.
