Chapter Forty-Six: Surprise Attack on Meigong Mountain
Almost at the same time as the attack on the Meigong Pass, there were a number of patrol squads of the Wolf Bandit Regiment, which were attacked by the Tiger Bandit Regiment, and they all suffered varying degrees of losses.
All of a sudden, there were alarms around Meigong Mountain, and there was a feeling of wolf smoke!
"Haven't the Tiger Bandits been driven away, why have they come back again, and what are they going to do?" asked Curtis, the commander of the Turk-Hungarian Empire who was in charge of protecting the grain and grass here, looking at Eric, the leader of the Wolf Bandits, suspiciously.
"Based on my knowledge of the Tiger Bandit Regiment for so many years, they should have done this to lure our main force out of Meigong Mountain, and then either ambush our main force or attack Meigong Mountain by taking advantage of the weakness. Therefore, I request, and at the same time suggest, that the general allow the Evil Wolf Bandit Regiment to withdraw to Meigong Mountain to assist in the defense. This will not only prevent us from being broken by each other, but also strengthen the defense of Meigong Mountain. As long as we hold the two passages in front of and behind the mountain, the Tiger Bandit Group will not have any chance!" "The Evil Wolf Bandit Group has always been on the periphery of Meigong Mountain, serving as a guard, and they have therefore become the main target of the Tiger Bandit Group's attack. At this time, Eric must withdraw the wolf bandits to Meigong Mountain, he doesn't want the wolf bandits to become a victim of the Hungarian Empire!
In this attack on the Tiger Bandits, according to the orders of the Dark Moon God Cult, the Wolf Bandits began to serve as the vanguard of the Turbulent and Hungarian army, and suffered nearly 1,000 casualties in one fell swoop. At present, there are less than three thousand people in the wolf bandit group, and Eric no longer wants to bear such a heavy loss!
"Captain Eric, are you a little worried! The Tiger Bandits have been severely damaged by our combined efforts, and it is unlikely that they will organize a large-scale attack. I believe that as long as the wolf bandit group can be assembled, the tiger bandit group will also retreat. Curtis said with a nonchalant look on his face.
Before he set out, Boyle had clearly instructed him not to trust the Wolf Bandits easily, let alone allow them to approach the granary in the Meigong Mountain. Moreover, once the opportunity is seized, the strength of the Evil Wolf Bandit Group must be consumed as much as possible! The cooperation between the Turbulent Hungarian Empire and the Dark Moon God Cult is only temporary, and it must not consume its own strength to protect the other party.
In addition, even if they put everything aside, Boyle and Julie didn't want such a powerful bandit group to exist in front of their house all the time, and the purpose of designing the wolf bandit group as the vanguard to capture Meigong Mountain was originally for this purpose.
Therefore, Curtis hopes to be able to delay for a while longer and maximize the strength of the Wolf Bandits.
It's just that although Curtis is treacherous, Eric is not a stupid person after all! he served as a guide for the Turk-Hungarian Empire before, but it was just to follow the orders of the Darkmoon God Cult and express the sincerity of the cooperation between the two sides to the Turk-Hungarian Empire. In that battle, Eric had a deep understanding of the sinister intentions of the Turk-Hungarian Empire, and he would never listen to Curtis's arrangement again!
"General Curtis, if you still insist on not allowing our wolf bandit group to enter Meigong Mountain, I can only order them to withdraw from the battlefield of Meigong Mountain!" After saying that, Eric didn't look at Curtis, turned around and walked out.
"Captain Eric, Captain Eric, you wait! you wait!" Curtis quickly got up from his chair and hurried over to grab Eric.
"Don't be in a hurry! Since you are worried that the Tiger Bandit will retaliate, then I will order the brothers of the Wolf Bandit to enter the defensive position in front of and behind our mountain. With your help, our defense will be stronger, isn't it!" Curtis said with a smile as he pulled Eric Pi.
This time, in order to obtain the maximum benefit, Boyle chose to fight on two fronts. In order to be able to succeed in the first battle, Boyle transferred no part of the troops that could be used in the country, but only left Curtis, the commander of 10,000 troops, with 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Meigong Mountain. Of course, there are reasons why Boyle trusts Curtis, but the most important thing is that Boyle is already a little stretched in terms of troops!
If Eric leads his troops to leave at this time, Meigongshan's defense line will immediately become thinner, and in order to ensure the safety of the granary, Curtis will have to put down his body and win over Erik, the bandit leader.
Eric heard Curtis's words on the surface, but in fact he still couldn't trust the wolf bandits! He didn't allow his men to enter the hinterland of Meigong Mountain. But before it was time to turn his face, Erik's goal had been achieved again, so he didn't say anything more, and went out with Curtis's herald to give orders.
Hearing the order to withdraw, the Wolf Bandit Regiment immediately retreated to the defensive positions in the front and rear mountains to assist the Turmonian and Hungarian defenders in defending against the raid of the Tiger Bandit Regiment.
Hearing the waiter's report, Li Zijun breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the wolf bandit group and the Turk-Hungarian army still cannot be fully trusted, otherwise this situation would not have arisen. Li Zijun is more confident in his Jihua!
"Brother Boswell, three hours after we leave, you must launch an attack on time on the mountain behind Meigong Mountain. Remember, at all costs. To create the illusion of a soldier pressing the other party!" Li Zijun told again.
"Yes, young master!" Boswell didn't say much, nodding yes.
"Diego, you also have to launch a feint in front of the mountain at the same time, remember that you are only mainly harassing!" Stutta wanted to follow him into the mountain, and Li Zijun had to hand over the task of the mountain pass to his guard captain.
Diego nodded hurriedly.
"You must keep the attention of the Turquois-Hungarian army and the Wolf Bandit Bandits, so that our actions will be twice as effective with half the effort!"
"Young Master, you better stay! I'll sneak into Meigong Mountain instead of you and guarantee the completion of the task!" Diego was still a little worried about Li Zijun's safety, and stepped forward to persuade him.
"Someone must be in charge in front of the mountain! You know the surrounding situation better than I do, and it is most appropriate for you to go. As for my safety, you don't have to worry, I have their protection, and there will be no problems!" Li Zijun said as he tried to wrap his arms around Victoria and Barbara's waists, but the pair of giant sisters were too tall for him, and his hand unintentionally fell on their hips.
Li Zijun soon found that he had misplaced the position, deliberately pretended to be casual, and gently rubbed and patted it twice, trying the elasticity of that position! He found that after the defense of Wimbledon, he couldn't suppress his desire more and more, and even liked this lifestyle of being accompanied by beautiful women all the time.
It's just that Li Zijun's move took pity on the pair of beauties of the giant clan. Some time ago, Li Zijun had always respected Victoria and Barbara, and he didn't even say anything excessive. This also made them worry about the relationship between races all the time, and Li Zijun didn't like them, which affected his attitude towards the giant clan.
But during the time he left Wimbledon, Li Zijun always took the opportunity to tease them. Of course, Victoria and Barbara were secretly happy about Li Zijun's transformation, and they wanted to refuse his actions.
But Victoria and Barbara never thought that they would be slighted by Li Zijun in front of outsiders, their pretty faces were red with shame, but fortunately, it was already dark at this time, and no one saw their shy expressions.
This time, Stutta led the way, but there were thirty more Tiger Bandit Bandit soldiers with the Wolf Bandit Bandit Bandit Regiment's emblem. The secret passage is so important that Li Zijun can't trust anyone else at all!
Li Zijun's group quickly entered Meigong Mountain along the secret passage. Except for Li Zijun and these four people, the other warriors were very familiar with Meigong Mountain, and Stuta had already explained outside the mountain, and they quickly sneaked to the place where the soldiers of the Tiger Bandit Regiment were being held.
They approached the guards first, the previous attack had not affected the guards, most of whom had fallen asleep, except for those on duty at night.
Stuta nodded slightly to the warriors behind him, and these warriors immediately divided into several groups according to the previous jihua and sneaked towards the sentry at the door of the barracks.
"Hey, how did you Wolf Bandits get here?"
"Oh!" Before the sentry could react, the warriors of the Tiger Bandit Regiment on the other side had already rushed over to understand him.
The same scene played out almost at the same time, and the sentries of the five barracks were all killed!
Originally, Li Zijun was worried that Victoria and Barbara would be scared when they saw such a scene, but they didn't expect them to show excited expressions. It seems that among this group of people, the most vulnerable person turned out to be him, Li Zijun couldn't help but sigh secretly.
At this time when Li Zijun sighed, the soldiers of the Tiger Bandit Regiment had already ignited the dizzying black ball and secretly threw it into the five barracks, and soon the soldiers signaled to Stutta that the mission was completed.
These thirty warriors were all elites selected at the beginning, and the whole operation was completed cleanly and neatly, without a trace of mistakes, and Catherine next to her couldn't help nodding.
Having solved the guards in the barracks, the fighters changed into their clothes and swaggered towards the place of detention.
A few days ago, Stuta had not been able to get in touch with his imprisoned comrades, but he had received very good news. Since the Wolf Bandit Regiment intends to recruit these warriors and improve their own strength, they do not abuse them, and even let them eat as much as possible in order to ensure that they can recover their health as soon as possible. This also maximizes the physical strength of the fighters.
Lee Zi-jun's jihua is, through the battle in front of the mountain and behind the mountain, to attract the attention of the other party. At the same time, he and Stuta led the men to rescue the warriors, armed them, and raided the granary of the Turmonian army.
These guards of the Turkish-Hungarian Empire never imagined that someone would sneak into the heavily guarded Meigong Mountain. The same military uniform really confused them, most of them lost their lives in a daze, Li Zijun and they almost didn't have much effort, and they rescued those comrades of the Tiger Bandit Regiment.
Li Zijun immediately ordered Stuta to withdraw to the exit of the secret passage while counting the number of soldiers who could participate in the battle.
During this period of travel, many of these rescued soldiers were secretly observing Li Zijun. Most of these people are from the Seine Peninsula, and when they set off, Li Zijun personally saw them off. Therefore, many of them still remember Li Zijun's appearance.
"Are you Master Hou!?" finally someone timidly revealed Li Zijun's identity.
"Master Hou, how can we be, how can we work for you to come to the rescue!" These soldiers never thought that the Marquis of Edlaide, who was dignified on the Seine Peninsula, would come here to rescue them. At this moment, they were all moved to tears. Fortunately, they were all awake and tried to keep their crying low.
"You are all my brothers!It's all right to come and save you!Don't cry anymore, we're going to be exposed easily!" Although he felt a little ashamed, Li Zijun still had to pretend.
Hearing Li Zijun's words, these warriors all stopped crying, but their eyes were full of determination. Li Zijun believes that even if he lets them die now, they won't frown!
By this time, Stuta had already counted the number of soldiers who could fight, and there were five hundred!
"Brothers, the Turk-Hungarian Empire intends to attack our Seine Peninsula, and we must not allow them to succeed. In addition to rescuing you, I am here to burn down this granary of the Turk-Hungarian Empire. Those who want to follow me into battle will go over there to get weapons and hydration bags filled with fire oil. If you don't want to, evacuate with the wounded through a secret passage. You have already done a lot for the Seine, and even if you choose to withdraw like this, you are still heroes in my eyes, and I will never blame you!
Stuttar had already taken out the weapons and hydration bags hidden in the secret passage in advance, waiting to be distributed to the soldiers who were willing to fight, and at the same time arranged for the wounded and soldiers who were about to leave to be sent out along the secret passage.
The result was not what Li Zijun expected, the vast majority of people chose to stay, and even a few wounded people had to participate in the battle, Zuihou or Li Zijun forcibly ordered them to leave.
After Li Zijun expressed his gratitude to the soldiers in front of him again, he began to give combat orders.
Not long after, the battle in front of and behind the mountain began almost simultaneously. Boswell took advantage of his familiarity with the terrain and launched round after round of attacks on the defenders, and the shouts of killing were also louder and louder!
Li Zijun saw that the situation was almost over, and led the army to quickly rush to the granary. He took advantage of the chaos to sneak up on the patrols around the granary, and according to Catherine's choice, he knocked down the fence and broke in. Inside, Li Zijun realized that those vicious dogs Weishenme a few days ago had lost their voices, and those vicious dogs seemed to have become Catherine's pets at this time, and they all obediently gathered around her.
"Can elves really communicate with animals?" Since the failure of Annie's performance at Beast Mountain, Li Zijun has been skeptical of the statement that 'elves can communicate with animals'.
"Of course!" Catherine glanced at Li Zijun's ignorance, and then led his troops to charge the defenders inside the fence.
In order to ensure the safety of the granary, he personally led an army of 1,000 to rush over and prepare to strengthen the defense of the granary.
But before Curtis could reach the granary, he heard shouts of killing in the granary in the distance. Curtis secretly said that it was not good, and immediately ordered the team to speed up!
"Master Hou, the Turkish-Hungarian Empire has come to reinforce it! What should we do now?" After the sentry in charge of the lookout discovered the situation outside, he immediately ran in front of Li Zijun.
"How many people?" Li Zijun tried to keep himself calm.
"It's too dark to see, but at least six or seven hundred people!"
Hearing this, Li Zijun couldn't help but secretly complain. Although the battle in the granary is nearing the end, it is not easy to set fire to the dozens of granaries in front of you at the same time.
"Stutta, you must light the grain depot for me as soon as possible! The others will block the gate with me!" Li Zijun couldn't help but say that he led a team of people to the granary to prepare for the battle.
Victoria and Barbara heard Li Zijun's order and rushed out first, holding a giant axe in front of him. The style of the giant axe in their hands is basically the same, the axe is the size of a wheel, and the handle is three meters long.
Li Zijun once weighed the weight of a giant axe, which was enough to weigh a hundred catties! Such a weapon was rare even among the giant clan, but it was in their hands, and it was free! Although their fighting spirit had not yet reached the level of an intermediate swordsman, their innate divine power had already given them the strength of a high-level swordsman! Especially when they showed that indomitable spirit in the face of the enemy, Li Zijun was a little skeptical after seeing it, whether the pair of sisters who were often despised by him were them!
Before the Turriot reinforcements could gain a foothold, Victoria and Barbara picked up their terrible axes and rushed directly into the camp of the Hungarian army. At this moment, they are completely transformed into two humanoid tanks, leaving behind broken corpses wherever they go. Li Zijun was worried about their safety and stayed by their side to protect them.
Catherine disappeared at this moment, knowing that even with a master like Victoria and Barbara, it would be difficult to block the onslaught of the Turquoise army. Only by taking advantage of the chaos to kill the other party's commander can it be possible to complete the task and finally retreat with her whole body! So she hid her figure and quietly approached in the direction of Curtis.
Curtis didn't realize the danger was approaching, and he was still loudly directing the army to storm the door of the granary.
After a few turns, Catherine finally came to a place a dozen paces in front of Curtis. Continuing to stealthily is no longer possible, and Catherine begins to perform her artistic murder modus operandi. Her movements were very small, but with every hand raised and every turn, at least one of the Turk-Hungarian soldiers fell to the ground, and she seemed to be walking to the place where Curtiss was within reach.
Curtis didn't notice Catherine until this time, and he desperately brandished his sword in a vain attempt to force Catherine back. But the difference between his strength and Catherine's strength was too great, and he finally watched Catherine gently plunge the dagger into his chest. He was still wondering when he was dying, obviously he had released his fighting spirit, and the other party could easily stab him!
Catherine, who had successfully assassinated, quickly retreated before the other party could close the siege, and before the Turquoist soldiers could see her clearly, she had already jumped into the granary and disappeared.
"General Curtis! General Curtis!" Curtis's men called out to him desperately, but not only did they fail to call him back, but they found that he was actually melting at a terrible rate.
"Devil!" these ordinary soldiers couldn't help but exclaim, unaware of what was happening, and then they dispersed in a hurry!
The actions of this group of Turk-Hungarian soldiers quickly caused a chain reaction, and the Turk-Hungarian army in front of Li Zijun withdrew like a tide, making them all a little overwhelmed!
But now that there was no time to study the other party's reaction, Li Zijun immediately ordered to set fire to the grain depots, and dozens of grain depots almost simultaneously emitted billowing smoke.
Boyle woke up early today, and when he woke up, he was a little dazed. Boyle hadn't felt that way in years, and he couldn't help but laugh at his nervousness about the upcoming battle. He wanted to get some fresh air outside the camp and reduce the pressure on himself.
But before Boyle could get out of the tent, Julie broke into his tent with a serious face.
"What's wrong?"
Julie didn't answer him directly, but seeing that he was dressed neatly, she called in a man who was waiting outside the tent.
"What, Wimbleton's keeper has become Higgins? Are you sure about the news?" Hearing the news from the inside, Boyle, who was usually calm, also got up from his chair in a hurry.
"Three days ago, Higgins began to officially host the wealthy businessmen of Wimbleton. At the same time, he also revised the lockdown order, and Wimbledon was open for three hours a day, allowing citizens of the Dongyu Empire to enter and leave freely, except that merchants from other countries were not in the ranks. The inside lineman then gave Boyle and Julie a detailed report on Wimbleton's recent situation.
Boyle and Julie didn't have any expression on their faces for the inside liner's report, and when his report was over, Boyle waved him away.
As soon as this insider walked out of the tent, Boyle and Julie both showed bitter smiles!
"We've been tricked by Edlaide again!" Julie said indignantly.
"Let the army turn around! we don't have any chances!" Boyle said, sighing.
"When the hell did this Higgins arrive at Wimbledon, and why didn't we get any news in advance?" Julie was still a little unwilling.
"Remember when Edlaide sent a team to Higgins?"
"Of course! At the time, I also said that Edred's boy nature is so happy!"
"You don't mean to tell me that Edlaide wanted to send Higgins to take over Wimbledon at that time, right? Edlaide is not a god, how could he have thought that we would attack Wimbleton?" asked Julie, looking at Boyle with wide eyes.
"He didn't expect us to attack Wimbledon, but he was worried that we would attack Salat secretly, and he should just want to go back to the Seine Peninsula to organize defense. In order to ensure the safety of Wimbledon, he urgently transferred Higgins. ”
"So, Edlaide is back in Salat now?" asked Julie, trying.
"Don't leave anything to chance! If I'm not mistaken, you've thought of this before you came to me, and you'll even send someone to remind Curtis. It's just too late!" Boyle said with a sigh.
"Curtis has 5,000 elites in his hands, plus 3,000 soldiers of the Wolf Bandit Regiment, there are 8,000 soldiers. And Edlaide's hands are only 5,000 people, can they not stop Edlaide with those fortifications in Meigong Mountain?"
"The Tiger Bandits have been operating there for years, and there must be some passage up the hill that we don't know! Curtis and Eric are on the lookout for each other, and it's nothing in normal times, but if something happens, their relationship is very likely to be exploited!
