Chapter two hundred and ninetieth

Late at night, Yat slept in the Wincheston Manor Manor Manor. The enemy besieged me, although the enemy was weak, he dared not be careless at all. After all, the army outside the city was not a farmer in the fortress. People could land on the ground by accident, so Yat slept very lightly. When Odo had just walked to the door and raised his hand, Yat had jumped up from the wooden bed and opened the door.

"Sir, the Western Army suddenly set off the camp and fled to the north." Odo stood in front of the door and spoke a little anxiously. The sentry on the outer wall did not see the besieged Western Army evacuating, but just a moment ago, the Western Army in the camp suddenly abandoned the camp and fled north.

Yat did not expect that the Western Army would choose to suddenly evacuate late at night. If it were normal for the two teams to distance a whole night, it would be impossible for them to catch up.

But the coincidence is that the rest of the Welles Legion in Ryan Manor has more than thirty four-wheeled carriages in hand. The rest of the Welles Legion took these carriages to Ryan Manor in less than two days.

"Odo, send someone to follow me closely."

"Send a quick horse to Ryan Manor to pass the order, and let the rest of the Wells Legion immediately take a carriage and go north along the trade road to Wincheston to gather, and we will chase you!" Late at night, Yat slept in the Wincheston Manor manor. The enemy besieged me. Although I was strong and the enemy was weak, he dared not be careless at all. After all, the army outside the city was not a farmer in front of the battle. People could land on the ground if they were accidentally, so Yat slept very lightly. When Odo had just walked to the door and raised his hand, Yat had jumped up from the wooden bed and opened the door.

"Sir, the Western Army suddenly set off the camp and fled to the north." Odo stood in front of the door and spoke a little anxiously.

But the coincidence is that the rest of the Welles Legion in Ryan Manor has more than thirty four-wheeled carriages in hand. The rest of the Welles Legion took these carriages to Ryan Manor in less than two days.

"Odo, immediately gather the Kazak Banner and Tuba Banner team and take them to follow the Western Army. But don't attack rashly. The two armies must be more than one mile apart. Be careful that the enemy may turn around and counterattack at any time."

"Sir, is this the enemy's plan? After leading most of our defenders out, they will wait for an opportunity to capture Wincheston Manor." Odo was worried that the enemy would lead the snake out of the hole and then turn back.

Yati nodded, "This is possible, so I will personally lead the heavy armored infantry team and the crossbow team to station in the manor. When you pursue the enemy, you must also spread the outposts, always pay attention to the direction of the enemy's advance, and return to support quickly if there is any abnormal movement. Remember that your mission is to grab the enemy's tail and do not attack rashly before the remaining troops arrive."

Odo's eyes flew, and his head was thinking about Yat's orders at a high speed, "Yes, sir, you are very careful." Odo pulled out of his mansion and began to gather Kazak and the infantrymen of the Tuba Banner.

Seeing Odo leaving, Yat ordered Matthew, the guard who was standing outside the door, who was whistling, and said, "Matthew, immediately take people to Ryan Manor to pass the order, so that the rest of the Wells Legion immediately took a carriage and went north along the trade road to pursue the road."

In mid-April, it rains for a long time.

To the north of Tignes, just in a large area of ​​flat wasteland less than six miles apart from the baggage team heading south from the north. The Western Frontier Army stopped running.

A day-long run has exhausted the soldiers' physical strength. If they continue running, they will really become a fleeing.

The Western Army was repaired and stood on standby, and the commander led the viscount Sauron to ride a horse and took only a dozen cavalrymen to hang their tails.

Sauron, with a haggard face, rode on a war horse that had lost its fat due to lack of essential materials. He turned his head and looked coldly at four or five figures vaguely five hundred steps behind him. He knew that more than a hundred enemy soldiers were chasing him farther behind these figures.

The commander Baron Albon kicked the horse's belly lightly and approached Soren, saying, "I followed it for a day and a night, neither fighting nor retreating. As soon as we chased them, we broke up and ran. As soon as we left, they caught up. What exactly do these bastards want to do?"

"The enemy wants to hold our tail, and there must be a large group of people coming from behind."

"How far is it from the baggage team?" Sauron asked.

The adjutant turned his head and looked behind him, "There are enemy cavalry three miles ahead to block the battlefield. Our sentry cannot be reached, but I guess we should be about ten miles away to join the baggage team. By then, we will not only have sufficient food and supplies, but also more than a hundred soldiers, and we may be able to turn the tables."

"Let everyone stop trimming and discarding bulky supplies and push them to the north quickly."

"I'll do it right now!"

The adjutant refracted and took his personal guards to drive away the soldiers who fell to the ground and didn't want to get up again.

Odo, an adjutant of the Wells Legion, stood on a mound beside a road, riding a black war horse, watching the commanders who rode from the south rushed to the front.

"How far is the team?" Odo asked loudly.

The messenger tied the reins and let the horse go around in place, and replied: "Mr. Odo, except for the soldiers who stayed at Wincheston Manor, the 320 remaining troops of the Legion were less than three miles away. The lord told us to hold back the enemy and prevent them from gathering."

Before the commander finished speaking, Kazak hurried to the mound, "Master Odo, the Western Army began to flee again. They discarded some of the military equipment and ran lightly."

Odo looked at the north and then the south, and said to the messenger: "You hurry up and report to the master, the Western army is retreating desperately. I will lead the front team to catch up and catch up with the enemy and let the master lead the troops to support."

The messenger repeated Odo's military orders, then pulled the reins and kicked the horse to run south.

Odo also pulled out the knight's sword at his waist and said to Kazak Ling: "Transfer the order, the front team will follow me to rush over. Even if you use your teeth, you have to bite the enemy and prevent them from moving forward!"

The Kazak Banner, Tuba Banner, and Odo's five guards rushed toward the tail of the Western Army.

"Didn't you agree to just fall into the enemy's tail? Why are you going to rush up now? There are only one hundred people in our hands, and the number of people on the other side is more than twice." Not far from Odo, three people wearing officers in mail burqa were running sweat-ridden.

These three men were wearing the standard armor of the Wells Legion. The Wells Legion's standard broadsword hung around their waists, but unlike ordinary soldiers and officers, these three were not from the Wells Legion.

Earl Ballwin trusts Athlete, but trust does not mean letting go. Therefore, Ballwin selected three small leaders from the Imperial Guards who went south to participate in the Provence War and entered the Wells Legion. These three were treated with special courtesy from Athle. Colondo, the highest military rank among them, was awarded a squadron-level position by Athlete, and served as instructors of the First Company. He helped the flag teams of the First Company train soldiers on weekdays, and became the guards of the adjutant Odo during wartime. The other two also enjoyed the military salary of the squadron leader and assisted Colondo in training soldiers.

"Coronto, although you are a guest officer, you are fighting under my command at this time, and the military orders are unquestionable!" Odo heard Colonto's words and scolded him severely to prevent the morale of the army from being disorganized.

Colondo is not a softie. Being able to be selected by the Imperial Guards to return from fighting south has proved his courage, and Baldwin would not send some scumbags to the Wells Legion to "supervise the Army".

"Mr. Odo has misunderstood. Although I, Colondo, are not a warrior, I have never been afraid of killing enemies on the battlefield."

"Okay, Lord Earl didn't choose the wrong person! If you can kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions in a while, I will definitely ask for rewards for you in person."

Colondo suddenly felt full of self-esteem when he heard this. He lifted the sword and shield in his hand, led the two companions around him to surpass the flag captain Tuba who was running in front, and became the leader of the formation.

The two running teams were getting closer and closer. Although they had been walking and stopping for a night, the Western border troops in front had not been able to eat and drink for several days, and were in a passive position. At this time, someone was rushing with a sword, and the fear in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Viscount Sauron, the commander of the Western Army who was observing the rear front, looked at the pursuers who were getting closer and closer, and shouted to the horse-riding officers around him: "Stop advancing, line up to meet the enemy. Don't run away, we can't escape the group of wild dogs behind us!"

The Western Army soldiers, who knew they could not escape, stopped immediately after receiving the order to form a counterattack, and formed a defensive line under the command of officers at all levels.

"Stop advancing, line up to meet the enemy!" Stop advancing, line up to meet the enemy!" Odo lifted the reins, and the war horse neighed and raised its front hooves.

The two armies stood in confrontation in the wastelands crossed by the North-South Trading Road half a mile apart.

Odo did not let the messenger sound the horn of attack. When he saw the enemy stop advancing, he turned around to fight, but fortunately let his soldiers form formations to defend.

Anyway, he is not in a hurry. As long as the enemy garrisons, his goal will be achieved.

The pursuers were not in a hurry, and the ones who escaped were different. After a moment of confrontation, the other party actually made a gesture of waiting on the spot.

Sauron was angry, "These soft bastards, if you want to fight, they will dodge and chase like a wild dog, disgusting! Disgusting!"

"Arbang, lead the army to rush over and crush them."

The Western Army were also completely angered. The formation was set up but they didn't rush over. Everyone was still waiting to meet with the baggage team and have a full meal.

Under the leadership of adjutant Arbang, the Western soldiers who were driven crazy dispersed their defensive formations and raised their swords, spears and axes in their hands to rush towards the team behind.

Half a mile away, looking at the almost crazy Western army coming towards him, Odo smiled coldly and ordered the soldiers under the array: "The enemy is crazy, let's avoid the edge for the time being and retreat!"

Kazak and Tuba immediately led the soldiers to the front line and quickly lined up to retreat.
