Chapter 616: Seduction Plan
The eldest prince waved away the soldiers who led the way with a look of disgust, circled around the burning fire, and pouted disdainfully: "I really don't know what to say about the infantry against the cavalry. ”
At this time, a war horse galloped in front, slowed down fifty meters away from the eldest prince, and after inspection, slowly came to a place five meters in front of the eldest prince and stopped, and reported: "Report, no trace of the enemy has been found within twenty miles ahead. ”
The eldest prince said without squinting, "What do you think?"
After the four generals in fine armor behind the eldest prince glanced at each other, an old man in his fifties spoke: "Your Highness, we have lost the trace of the enemy army, I suggest rest in place and wait for Commander Newman to arrive before setting out together." The eldest prince pursed his lips, didn't say anything, and waved his hand to do so.
Although the eldest prince does not like to walk with the slow Newman, this is an empire after all, and the eldest prince does not dare to take risks when the specific strength of the enemy army is unknown, and people in high positions like him generally cherish life.
At this time, Wang Yong, Francis and others were lying on a hill, observing through the lookout scope from a distance that they were turning around and returning to the enemy cavalry unit.
Wang Yong put down his lookout glasses, turned his head and asked Francis, "How are they? Why do I think these guys seem to be very powerful?"
Francis put down his lookout glasses with a solemn expression, nodded and said, "Your feeling is right, if I guessed correctly, they should be the royal guards of the Eternal Empire, and their combat effectiveness is not trivial." ”
Wang Yong frowned and said, "Royal Guards Cavalry, I heard that their eldest prince is also here, so these guys should protect that prince, right?"
Francis nodded and said, "That's right." ”
Wang Yong's eyes lit up, and he looked at Francis with burning eyes and said, "How is it? Are you sure to fight with these guys?"
Francis was stunned, and said for a long time: "Sir, it's not me who disturbs the morale of the army, our recruits are definitely not opponents of others, and if you go up, you will be sent to death." ”
Wang Yong smiled and said: "I'm not saying that we really fight with them, do you think we have a chance of winning in terms of speed." Or if we go to seduce them, will they catch up?" Francis breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he was really afraid that Wang Yong would be carried away by the victory just now, and he would not be able to argue with others.
Francis thought for a moment and said, "If it's just to lure the enemy, it should be fine, but you have to choose a route in advance and make some arrangements." ”
Wang Yong's eyes lit up and said, "Let's get it?"
Francis asked for a map from his men, and after unfolding it, he looked at it for a while before pointing to it and saying, "Sir, there is a river less than ten miles to the west, which is quite deep and rapid, and there is only a wooden bridge to cross it. We can lure the enemy there, and when our men cross the river, we can burn the wooden bridge. You can get rid of them for a while. However, this requires our soldiers to show absolute speed, otherwise they will be caught up by the enemy, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Wang Yong looked at the location mentioned by Francis and the route along the way, pondered for a long time, and said: "I think it's okay, let's do it, send some people to dig a few big pits in these detours, and put them on the wooden planks first, and then remove the planks when our people pass, so that we can buy some time." ”
Francis looked worried, "But it's not safe." I think I'd better think of a better way. ”
Wang Yong waved his hand and said: "There is no time, if you wait for the main force of the enemy army to arrive, it will be even more difficult, just do what you just said, and leave me four wings." You take the remaining four wings and wounded soldiers to the other side of the river and wait, and get all the obstacles in your way. ”
Seeing what Francis was going to say, Wang Yong said in an unquestioning tone: "This is an order. When Francis heard this, he reluctantly stood up and took the order.
Wang Yong waited anxiously in the rest place of the troops. There was still a moment left before the agreed time with Francis, Wang Yong looked at the shadow dance and light spirit on the cliff next to him, and saw that they did not notice any enemy troops nearby. So he clapped his hands and asked all the officers to come together.
Glancing around at the officers, Wang Yong cleared his throat and said: "After a while, everyone will look at my order, as long as I say run, if the enemy catches up, everyone will only die, so you all give me all the strength to eat milk and run with my life." By the way, everyone knows the route, right?" the officers nodded.
Wang Yong clapped his hands again and said, "Okay, everyone go back and prepare, let's set off immediately." ”
Twenty minutes later, Wang Yong marched eastward with almost 2,000 men, and found the enemy's scouting horses more than ten miles away from the battlefield not long ago.
Seeing that the enemy's scouts spotted them and turned back, Wang Yong smiled and commanded the troops to advance slowly, ready to retreat at any time.
After another twenty minutes, in a wilderness, Wang Yong finally saw the enemy troops approaching in a neat line. Ordering the troops to stop, Wang Yong took Shadow Dance, Light Spirit, and a team of personal guards to step out and go straight to the enemy.
The eldest prince of the Eternal Empire has just heard from the probe that he has found that the enemy army is coming towards him, the number is about two thousand, and the main general is a black-haired young man.
The eldest prince looked incredulous when he got the news, he couldn't have imagined that the turtle lord on the seashore would dare to bring such a few people over, this was obviously looking for death. The eldest prince ignored the persuasion of several army commanders, and did not believe that the enemy would have any ambush, so he ordered the troops to move out and meet this bold turtle for a while.
When the distance between the two armies was less than ten miles, they saw that the other party's men and horses stopped, and the black-haired turtle who had heard his name for a long time came out with a few people, as if he wanted to talk about things.
The eldest prince smiled contemptuously, and was about to step forward with his personal guards, when the legion commander named Fink hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Highness, you can't take risks, that guy just attacked and killed the two legion commanders when the two main generals were talking." ”
The eldest prince snorted disdainfully, groped for a ring on his finger and said, "I am also a junior warrior when I say this, and I also have magic defense props to protect myself, can that turtle succeed?" ”
Fink sighed secretly and obediently retreated to his place. The eldest prince said to the captain of the guard, "Take ten of the best with me, remember to bring a shield and a crossbow, and listen to my orders later." The captain of the guard was ordered to leave, and after a while, he came down to the eldest prince with ten burly subordinates.
These ten guards are all tall and strong, wearing black smocks covered by metal chain mail, wearing semi-retested iron helmets with black feathers on their helmets, and their eyes are sharp, and they are not ordinary people at first glance. (To be continued......)
