Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 232: Five camps at night
Chapter 232 Night Breaking Five Camps
"Well, I ca n’t buy a horse. I did n’t expect that Imperial Capital is so short of horses. In the past few days, we have collected them everywhere. It took twice as much price to get these dozen horses, all of which were used by Lord(s) to pull the cart. I love to play, watch and come to the net ... (The best experience in novel reading is []) "Farrea complains while playing with the campfire.
Joske said: "We thought too much, thinking that we could buy mount with Imperial Capital, but we forgot that Andinak Kingdom was not a horse-producing place. In addition, Second Highness required a large number of military horses to compile six Legions. Ma Huang. We did n’t expect to walk back when we came over.
"Today we have only walked more than 30 miles for half a day, and it is estimated that we can go 60 or 70 miles a day tomorrow. This is not good for us. I am used to flying at Northern Land, and I really feel that such long marches are slow. Snails in general. Lord(s), or we can go to those nearby Lord(s) homes to buy carriage to speed up the march. Anyway, Silowas Islands also needs to be developed and constructed, these carriage can also be used for transportation. "This is the idea of Els.
After leaving Imperial Capital for a long time, seeing that it was getting dark, Farrea instructed to camp there. Five hundred soldier(s) trained in the guard camp quickly settled. However, several families, Knight(s), started to complain around the bonfire. People like Els, Jim, etc. always marched on Northern Land and were not used to walking on their own legs. carriage , who was able to take Second Prince prisoners to prison, was sitting there, but this time there is no treatment.
Lorist bought thousands of books from Imperial Capital this time to bring back. Although there are more than twenty carriage s, they are packed with these books except for the heavy grain and heavy weight. There are no extra horses. Even Lorist can only go on foot.
"Okay, tomorrow we will change direction, walk towards the Doni River, and walk another day to reach the town of Samba. There is a ferry on the Doni River, where we will find a boat and we will take a boat back, and along the river we will To get to the shore of this city of Domesgo, it only takes two days to reach Jillin Harbor, and we can board the ship back to Silowas Islands. "Lorist looked at the map and made a decision.
"Whether we buy carriage when we pass those Territory?" Els asked.
"Even carriage , buy a few horses is OK, let your Imperial Guard ride up to scout. If there is any danger, you can issue an alarm in advance." Lorist said.
"Ha, Lord(s), our five hundred men and horses are elite. Which Lord(s) of Andinak Kingdom has the courage and strength to provoke us?" Everyone laughed.
This is true. Now Andinak Kingdom's Lord(s) Aristocrat(s) are all affixed by Second Highness. Most of the Lord(s) family armed forces are compiled into the reserve Legion. Territory can have a team of 100 people on defense already is very good. As Caltock said, as long as it is not Legion of Second Highness, the soldier(s) of the five hundred men ’s guard camp with Lorist can walk sideways in the kingdom.
"Lord(s), why can't we transport horses from Northern Land to sell here? I think this is a good business." Schwartz asked.
"Hehe ..." Lorist touched Schwartz's hair: "Can you think of this is very good. It stands to reason that this is a good business, but you ignore the most important point. Who is the other party doing business? Second Highness is A large number of army horses mount are needed, but he does not have the ability to pay. The 300,000 army already made him do his best, he did not have extra gold coin(s) to pay the bill. The only thing we can get when we bring Northern Land horses is his white bar, he will Promised to wait for him to unify Empire and then give us compensation ... "
"Okay, let's rest early. Schwartz, boil some hot water to make everyone bubble feet. Tomorrow has to go one day." Lorist said.
No words overnight, the next day I continued to hurry. The four Territorys I passed along the way only got seven mounts. Five of them were old horses of fifteen or six years old. Els smiled wryly: "Lord(s) Go back and give them retirement? "
I arrived at Samba town in the evening. This is the Territory of Santos Count. I heard that Lord Count is now the Captain of Royal Guard Legion Third Legion and is stationed at the border of Redlis Kingdom. Responsible for the management of the town of Samba is a trusted housekeeper named Old Sonny.
Sony Housekeeper respects Lorist very much, no matter which Count has 500 families of standard equipment in soldier(s), it should be respected. He introduced to Lorist that Samba Town is a very important inland river ferry within Andinak Kingdom. It is mainly along this river that a large number of grain and logistics can be transported to the front line, which is the border between the kingdom and Redlis Kingdom, saving manpower. And the huge consumption of animal power on the road.
So, grain, grass and other materials that Lorist needs to be replenished can be replenished here, and some carriage can also be bought here. As for the Lorist to reach the inland river ferry in Domesgo City, Sonny's housekeeper said that he could help matchmaking and find an Great Captain in charge of the transport fleet to see if he had any options.
When I heard that Lorist was willing to pay 800 gold fordes for his soldier(s) and more than 20 carriage s, the Great Captain called Horison immediately got red eyes and ordered his soldier(s) to reload already in the ship's forage overnight Moved ashore, freed up a dozen empty ships and turned around in preparation for a trip to the city of Domesgo.
Lorist asked the Horison Great Captain if doing so would affect the frontline transportation plan. The Great Captain replied indifferently: "It's okay, it's common to delay the road for ten and a half months. Return to Domezgo A trip is only seven or eight days long, and it is possible to bring back some of the materials accumulated there, and no one will blame it.
When the Harrison Great Captain heard Els complaining that Andinak Kingdom could not buy a horse, he smiled and told Lorist and Els that this is the way you didn't find the way. He volunteered to bring Lorist and Els to the camp of transportation caravan. Soon Lorist reached an agreement with the person in charge of transportation caravan. Lorist spent a thousand gold fordes to get 122 from the person in charge. Ten riding horses, although not very good war horses, are still more than enough.
Horrison's Great Captain didn't run in vain, and two hundred gold fordes fell into his pocket, but he had to free up four more empty ships to ship the hundred horses.
Els was very curious to ask him: "How do you explain to the above that there are so many horses missing from transporting caravan?"
Horrison Great Captain laughed: "There are more excuses, sickness, falling into the water, dissatisfaction with the soil, the horse is shocked, etc. This one hundred and twenty horse, he can find one hundred and twenty unique reasons to repeat them Cancel it from the shipping list of caravan without doubt, and it will disappear without a month. As for the missing horses, he can make a report and replenish it from the logistics department. Of course the thousand gold fordes He also has to share most of it with others ... "
Els was silent for a long time. After returning to the camp, he quietly said to Lorist: "Locke, I can understand why you do n’t think that the 300,000 army of Second Highness can unify Empire. According to the virtues of these people below, don't say 300,000. It ’s impossible even with 600,000 troops ... "
Four days later, Lorist and others arrived in the city of Domesgo. After the delivery of the remaining 500 gold fordess, Lorist and the smiling Horison Great Captain shook hands, and then purchased at Domesgo City University. After some rest, we set off for Jillin Harbor after a day's rest. As long as another day and a half or two days later, the team can reach Jillin Harbor to sail out to sea.
Just in the evening, Jim, who served as scout, came to Reported with two Imperial Guard: "Lord(s), with smoke rising behind it, it seems that the cavalry arrived, estimated to be about 3,000 troops, about ten minutes later. It will be here. Should we make way for the road and avoid it? "
Lorist and others looked back, and then the smoke filled the distance.
Farrea rushed back: "Lord(s), no, this is coming at us. The smoke spread so fast that these cavalry are sprinting at full strength, and this road has no one else except us, then these cavalry The goal of the sprint is, of course, us ... "
Lorist refers to a small mound next to the road: "Go up, carriage is in front, surround the outside, defend the position, everyone hurry up."
The mounds are not high, that is, twenty or thirty meters, and there are sparse mixed forests. As soon as they moved above the mound, distant cavalry arrived. They really came to Lorist and others. Seeing that Lorist they got on the mound, they also slowed down and started to arrange a guard around the mound. Seeing that the posture was to trap the pedestrian Lorist on the mound.
Doles cuts off a large tree with a sword, and two soldier(s)s come by next to take away the tree bar. This is to resist the horse. After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Doles asked Lorist, who also cut trees next to him: "Lord(s), the cavalry below wears standard equipment of Royal Guard Legion. Did Second Highness send them to want us to be held hostage?"
Lorist shook his head with a wry smile: "I'm not very clear. The person Second Highness is a hero, and should not be so unwise. I defeated the Great Sword Master who guarded him in front of him, and he should be clear, Sending a cavalry to deal with me like this is no way to leave me, even if you kill all of them, it is difficult to trap me. Once turned against us at Norton Family, he will certainly welcome our family armed forces one after another Bo's counterattack. In this case, he didn't have to dream about unifying what Empire, but it was lucky to be able to resist our attack. So I don't understand what went wrong that would make him so active ... "
Farrea and Joske came over: "Lord(s), we surveyed the terrain of this mound. The **** leading to the road is the easiest to come up. We now arrange carriage in this direction, forming the first A defensive front. Next, we must set up a horse to resist and dig trenches, which should be able to withstand the impact of the opposing cavalry.
The cliff on the left is more than ten meters high. Neither cavalry nor infantry can climb up here. No guards need to be arranged for the time being. The right side is also a slope, with different heights. The infantry can still come up. The cavalry can't handle the horse. I already arranged a squadron of 100 people in this direction. There should be no major problems.
This small forest is behind us. We have to cut more trees. One is to clear the shooting circle, the other is to build a few tree walls with trees. The third is to prevent the enemy from using the forest cover to approach us. But there is bad news, Lord(s). There is no water source here. The water we carry can only keep us up to two days. If the enemy takes a fire attack, we will become a roast pig ... "Farrea said very seriously.
Joske added to the side: "Lord(s), I just estimated that the enemy should be a cavalry brigade of about 2,500 people. Except for the cliff on the left side of the mound, the other three are arranged in a semicircular direction. The line of defense seems to be trapping us on the mound. I suspect they are waiting for the subsequent infantry to come and attack. My suggestion is that Lord(s) is best to break through first, and we are here to hold the enemy. As long as Lord(s) returns Family Territory, no matter what the conspiracy of the enemy can not be implemented. "
Lorist shook his head: "I will bring you out, and I will definitely bring you back together, I will run back to the family Territory without a face. Els, you will take Jim from the cliff on the left when it gets dark. , Grab a job and come up to ask the situation. "
"Yes, Lord(s)." Els replied.
The sky is full of stars, and the mounds of fire are above and below the mound. Whether it is the Norton Family armed forces above the mound or the cavalry of the Royal Guard Legion below, they have lit a lot of fires to prevent the enemy from breaking through or attacking in the dark.
However, it is not difficult for Els and Jim. They slipped off the cliff that the enemy didn't notice, and soon they caught a captive and slipped back.
In front of everyone, Els cut a thick branch into chopsticks with a sharp dagger, threatening the captive to cut him off as a tragic account.
The captives of the spirit flying spirit quickly cleared everything out.
"What! You say that you were ordered by Fengbing Captain Yaslan Count to come and entangle us? Wait for him to lead two infantry brigades and then come and besiege us Norton Family armed forces? It will take him two days to get here?"
The thing already is clear. It is Yaslan Count, the brother of Viscount Yaslan who was beheaded by Lorist, and Golden Knight Yaslan Count, who served as the Royal Guard Legion soldier Captain. He sent troops privately to hunt down Lorist. Fortunately, Lorist changed the march route and took a boat to Domesgo City, causing Yaslan Count to go in the wrong direction, otherwise it would have been a big kill three days ago.
Now the order of the cavalry of the brigade is to entangle Lorist and other people, and wait for the Yaslan Count two infantry brigades to reach 5,000 to siege. Yaslan Count went very fast and did not know how Lorist defeated Great Sword Master Crimondo. He is very confident that with the 7,500-strong step of the three brigade teams, he can make more than 500 of the Lorist not run away.
"Bash" Lorist spit out the grass root biting in his mouth: "Since he wants to play, play with him."
It's still dark, but dawn is coming and a new day begins.
A small group of cavalry patrolling below the mound looked up at the mound, and through the faint flare above, the blurred figures of the besieged Norton Family guard soldier(s) and the spearpoint of the spearhead illuminated by the fire were visible.
"Leave, go back to camp, we can change posts," said Squad Leader headed.
The sound of gurgling water and a few hissing noises came from behind. Squad Leader doesn't care too much: "Can't you dismiss the little ones, really lazy."
Then he smelled a bit of blood. No, he turned back quickly, but what caught his eyes was a sharp blade of cold light ...
Everyone was stunned, watching Lorist start from the last ride of the patrol team, killing with one sword, the enemy didn't even make a sound. Then Lorist flew up to his horse, pulled his sword and handed the corpse to the following Els and Jim, which were gently placed on the ground. The three-man team killed from the back to the front. The most surprising thing was that the enemy was unaware that none of the killed enemies made a sound. The speed of Lorist's sword made everyone in the grass shudder.
This is the fourth patrol team of about twenty people, which adds up to more than eighty horses in already.
"Okay, everybody gets on the horse, and no horses follow to hide it. We will kill the enemy's camp. Remember to set fire. The fire will start on the Farrea side."
The cavalry of this brigade arranged five camps in three directions of the mound. Each camp had about 500 people. In addition, a cavalry team of more than 20 people was deployed to patrol the mound, but they Unexpectedly, Lorist and others would slip off the cliffs of the mound to counterattack.
"Kill!" Lorist immediately entered the first camp on the far left, followed by Joske and Els and others resolutely implemented the Lorist strategy. One was to set fire, the other was to control mount, and the third was to kill.
Two Silver Knights were killed under the spear of Lorist. The cavalry in the first camp collapsed. They were disheveled and shaved, ran their heads and ran to the second camp. Lorist followed them and rushed into the second. Every camp killed a lot.
At this time, the patrol cavalry already from the third camp to the fifth camp responded, and 120 cavalry gathered to rush to the second camp to reinforce. Unexpectedly, they only rushed to half, and there came a shout of killing behind them. Farrea led the 400 soldier(s)s of the guard camp into the fifth camp. The cavalry who had not mounted their horses was not an opponent at all, and the fifth battalion collapsed faster.
The second battalion was also breached. Lorist was chasing hundreds of cavalry who fled barefoot in front of the third camp. At this time, the fourth camp was also attacked by Farrea and others.
At dawn, Farrea rushed to the side of Lorist: "Big victory, big victory! Lord(s), we broke the five battalions overnight, the enemies who did not run became captives, and most of their war horses fell into our hands. Here. "
"Are our casualties big?"
"The soldier(s) casualties in the guard camp were about half, 147 people were killed in battle, and more than 120 were injured. The cavalry that finally gathered in a regiment caused us so many casualties. After all, the soldier(s) in the guard camp is used to playing defensive battles, and sneak attacks like this are not good at them ... "Farrea said.
"Clean up the battlefield first, I still have to think about it, or wait for the Yaslan Count to arrive after two days to send him a meeting gift ..." Lorist said fiercely.
