Chapter 74: All grass and trees are soldiers

"What a joke! It's a waste of my ability to ask me to capture such a small team. Who among you is interested?" After reading the letter from the messenger, Brunus threw it to a group of young nobles behind him.

"Father, let me go!" Morris said excitedly.

"Nonsense! Your mission is to stay by my side and watch how your father leads the army in battle. Malbert! Andrew!"

"Yes, uncle!"*2

The two young nobles behind rode forward on their horses.

"Lead your men and go back to kill that army. I will report your achievements to His Majesty. You can report a larger number of people."

Malbert and Andrew looked excited and nodded.

"I won't let my uncle down!"

.........

The three cities of Sarion, Issus and Singar are connected by a river. The confluence of the river is on the eastern foot of the mountain south of Sarion. Close to the river, in addition to fertile plains, there are also dense jungles. Because the river here is a confluence, it is not particularly turbulent. Zhao Yuanlang led his subordinates to hide here.

As the sun gradually set, a cavalry of four or five men rode their horses across the waist-deep river and into the dense forest.

"Locke, what's going on outside?" Zhao Yuanlang tore off a golden rabbit leg and handed it to Locke.

"The situation is getting serious. The Empire and the Sarion Kingdom's army of more than 3000 people have been fighting in Fort Calinende for several days in a row. If we hadn't cut off Sarion's supply, Fort Calinende would have fallen."

The news was very bad. Zhao Yuanlang knew that the Empire's strength was actually weaker than Sarion's. After all, Sarion was currently the most powerful kingdom in Pendor and could easily mobilize an army of nearly four thousand people, while the Empire could only mobilize less than three thousand.

"There is another piece of news. Duke Brennus of Afendol is leading his men to advance towards Fort Salvadore. Although Duke Brennus, with nearly a thousand soldiers, cannot capture Fort Salvadore, he can definitely bypass it and head straight for the prosperous towns in the southern part of the empire. If the empire does not take any measures, it will be completely finished."

"An army of more than a thousand. We can't defend the south at all. It's over." Jack frowned and said with some frustration.

“I don’t know if this news is good news?”

Zhao Yuanlang looked at Locke who was hesitant, then frowned and said, "Speak."

"Duke Brunus has divided his troops. He sent out his two nephews with more than 500 soldiers to capture you. Calculating the time, they should pass by us in the first half of the night."

"Oh? Interesting." Zhao Yuanlang touched his chin and smiled.

"Huh?" Jack and Locke were confused.

"I have a plan. We're going to do this tonight... Do you understand? Now that we've made the scarecrow, let's start to rest."

"Isn't this too risky? We only have 300 people, while the other side has more than . We don't have the advantage in numbers." Jack said with some concern.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Zhao Yuanlang showed an unfathomable smile.

........

The night light was dim, and the vision was extremely limited. Countless torches stretched for seven or eight hundred meters. Barons Malbert and Andrew rode their horses and led their cavalry, cursing.

They received news that the imperial army had gone deep into the mountains. Oh my God, are they going into the mountains again?

The river water was flowing, and the reeds and grass on the bank were swaying in the wind.

"Report!" A scout rode over quickly.

"Say!"

"Reporting to the two lords, we have spotted the imperial army ahead, they have formed a battle formation and are waiting for us!"

What is a surprise? This is a surprise. Malbert and Andrew hurriedly asked, "How many people are there?"

"About 200 people."

"It looks like it's that army, Andrew. Here's our chance to make a contribution! Hahahaha! When you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow."

"Should we be more cautious? How dare they wait for us so openly?" Andrew was a little confused.

"What are you afraid of! Even if they have an ambush, how many people can they have? Don't forget the information given to us by the country, they only have about 300 people at most!" Malbert drew out the sword in his hand with high spirits!

Andrew finally put aside his suspicion. Malbert waved his hand and said, "Pass my order. Speed ​​up. We must defeat them before midnight and then enter Yaragal in the middle of the night!"

The army moved quickly, and soon they saw the army forming a battle formation on the road.

Morgana was a little nervous, she clenched the sword in her hand, and then looked at the soldiers behind her. She had to be nervous, because she only had more than a hundred people, and nearly 100 of them were scarecrows wearing ragged clothes and armor, hiding in the middle of the team.

"The Imperial general on the opposite side stepped forward and told us what gave you the courage to stand in Sarion Malbert's way."

Morgana didn't say anything, but just started to slap the weapons in her hands. The soldiers behind her also started to hit the shields hard with their weapons.

Malbert and Andrew were a little confused.

"Of course it's because of an ambush! Get up!" A huge voice came from the low hillside in the north.

It's a cavalry team, how is it possible? Malbert took a quick look and found that there were nearly 90 cavalrymen. How is this possible? There are more than their cavalry. If the opposite side launched a charge, it would be a disaster.

Just as he was commanding his spearmen and halberdmen to defend the flanks, a rain of arrows came from the south.

It's the reed marsh! Damn it! Malbert looked at the swaying reed marsh and saw nearly 200 people. This is bad. How could there be so many people for something that I thought was a sure thing?

More than 500 people, about the same number of troops as his own, with more cavalry, so his own army was not really at an advantage. Malbert was a little panicked.

"Malbourne! What should I do?" Andrew was a little anxious. It was indeed an ambush.

"What are you afraid of?"

"But we don't have the advantage, we can't deploy our formation!"

Andrew's words were like enlightenment to Malbert, and he finally realized that not being able to deploy a formation was truly fatal.

Zhao Yuanlang had already noticed their situation and had led his cavalry to charge. Of course, there were not more than 90 cavalrymen, but only one person with two horses, and the idle horse had a scarecrow tied to it.

"Damn it! Retreat! The rear team becomes the front team and retreat." Malbert shouted hurriedly.

It's over, this idiot, Andrew's heart was filled with darkness. The enemy is charging, if you retreat, you will be chased and beaten.

"We can't retreat! Get ready to meet the enemy!" Andrew shouted hurriedly.

Since ancient times, the most feared thing in the military is the interference of two people. This time, the entire army was in chaos, some retreated, some went to meet the enemy.

Zhao Yuanlang didn't care about all this. He led his cavalry and charged fiercely into the army. Following him were a dozen battle-hardened griffin knights, and behind them were their followers.

Crushing with ease! The army was cut off, Malbert's rear army retreated desperately, while the center and vanguard were completely entangled.

Beheading plan! Zhao Yuanlang had already seen the cavalry of this army, as well as Malbert and Andrew wearing red cloaks.

Malbert still wanted to kill Zhao Yuanlang viciously, but he was kicked off his horse by Zhao Yuanlang at the first encounter, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. As for Andrew, he wanted to escape when he saw that the situation was not good, but was directly caught by Zhao Yuanlang with a rope and pulled off the horse!

"The commander's flag has fallen!" In the dark night, the Sarion soldiers watched their cavalry being surrounded and their commander's flag being chopped down. It was over! Many people began to run for their lives.

"Kneel down on the ground, those who surrender will not be killed." * Countless.
