Chapter five hundred and seventy-third self-defense counterattack (eight)

In the early autumn of the Nanlu Valley, the slowly rising sun gradually dispels the gray and whiteness of the mountains and fields. When the mist dissipates, a camp surrounded by logs appears. After the fight, the corpses on the ground have been cleared, but the blood stains that have dyed the earth are still dazzling.

This temporary camp, which had just been built in less than three days, was built in a relatively open inter-gulf basin, less than half a mile from the river.

At this moment, it had become the base of the southern expedition army of the Wells Legion, and the transformation of offensive and defensive roles was just a moment.

Most of the soldiers in the temporary camp fled before the Wells Legion launched an attack. The remaining thirty or forty soldiers were almost killed by Jafar's cavalry and Klaus' heavy armored infantry. The brave Lombard commander was also cut off his head during the chaos.

When Wadbury led the main force back to attack Panshi Fort, he took away most of the military pay, equipment and weapons, but the food and supplies were basically left in the camp. So at this moment, the mountains of food accumulated in the camp barn became the military ration supply of the Wells Legion.

"...According to statistics, 280 bags of wheat, about 30,000 pounds, 23 cars of wine, fruits, vegetables, bacon, etc. were seized, and more than 80 tents, more than 70 sets of weapons and armor, and a small amount of gold and silver." The deputy minister of the logistics department reported to Odo, the deputy commander of the army who had just received the responsibilities of the army's logistics.

In the past few months, Odo has twice commanded the front-line troops to fight the enemy, spending a lot of energy. Yesterday, Yat personally led all the Wells Army to the Nanguan Fort and ordered the military's combat command task to Angus. Odo returned to his old business and was responsible for the logistics and general affairs of the entire army. This was also a rest for him.

"Didn't the Lombards carry a lot of tinned oil tanks? Why didn't you mention it?" Odo sat in the carriage in front of the barn, lowering his head and kneading his eye sockets.

"Power-of-war confessed that Wadebury took away most of the tincture tanks, and the remaining thirty dozen were burned out in the battle just now. With Wadebury, all the craftsmen and construction equipment were taken away. In addition, the enemy's military pay was also taken away, so we only seized some fragments of gold and silver, and the estimated price was less than 20,000 Finney."

Odo opened his blood-covered eyes, glanced at the barn behind him, and smiled, "The old bastard of Wardbury has made a good prediction and knows that this camp will be dedicated to us sooner or later."

The deputy minister also jokingly and said seriously: "Mr. Odo, for safe reasons, will the logistics team transport all the food and food into Nanguan?"

Odo got up and patted the hem of his armor skirt, glanced at the south, "No need, Lord Angus brought two combat soldiers and half a heavy armored infantry team. They would not let the Lombards come back again, and these military rations will be transported south soon."

"You ask the medical team to send the injured soldiers back to the lake for treatment, and then prepare for the southern transportation of food and supplies for the lake camp..."

............

On the north side of the Stone Fort, in a small open field next to the road, the commander of the Lombardy "Northern Expedition Army" who had just recovered from calmness, Earl Wadbury stamped his seal on a parchment note that had just been written and handed it to the messenger beside him.

This parchment note was written by Wadebury himself and asked the letter of help. In it, he explained that the Burgundian marquis would go south to invade Lombardy, begging the Lombardy court to immediately recruit troops from all over the country to fight the enemy north.

As early as noon yesterday, he had already sent orders to the 300 northern defenders and 200 recruited peasant soldiers and pigeons who were left outside the mountain pass, allowing them to enter the mountainous area immediately and attack the south gate of Panshi Fort.

Having just finished writing the letter of help, seeing that the soldiers around him had rested for a while, Wadbury stood up and shouted, "What are the bastards doing? Immediately organize a team and start a strong attack. Throw all the turmeric oil on me!"

Several officers drew out their swords and kicked the soldiers and labor craftsmen to start the third round of attack.

Wadbury waved his hand and called his adjutant, "The enemy must have been chasing him. I need time to capture the Stone Fort. I will allocate my Thirty Earl Guard to you, pick up fifty elite troops, fold them to gather the defeated soldiers who escaped from the temporary camp, and block the enemy pursuers. I need at least one and a half hours. Remember, one and a half days, defend the defense line for me!"

The adjutant of Wadbury was a tall knight with a thin body, especially his cheeks with a bone-like face, which was particularly creepy. Few people knew his real name, and people called him the Skeleton Knight.

However, getting this nickname is not because he is so thin that he only has dry bones, but because he is cruel and bloody, especially likes to kill the enemy and remove blood and flesh, reveal white bones, and countless people have turned into skeletons through his hands.

In a desperate situation, the perverted adjutant showed a creepy smile. He turned his head and glanced at the north, pulled out the bone-bone knife on his waist, and the dark red blade exuded a faint aura...

............

Two hours later, the Skeleton Knight had arrived at an abandoned village five miles north of the Rock Fort with more than eighty most elite Lombard soldiers.

The village was built on a gentle slope next to the valley road. It originally contained seven or eight wooden houses and a dozen thatched huts. However, since the Duchy of Lombardy and the Marquis of Burgundy, it has become an unmanned land because of its strong walls and clear fields.

Not only here, from Panshi Fort to Nanguan Military Fort, the two villages and three settlements along the way have become uninhabited areas. When Vadbury was building the Panshi Fort, he ordered soldiers to drive all the Lombardy leaders out of the mountainous areas. Of course, those guys who would rather die than leave also turned into dead bones buried in the deserted village.

As soon as he arrived at the deserted village, the Skeleton Knight immediately ordered all the timber and stone in the village houses to pile up the narrowest pass on the north-north road, and blocked the road leading north-south.

Just as a temporary "blocking wall" was built on the road with wood and stone, a group of Lombardy deserters appeared.

These guys escaped from the temporary camp. They had no horses, so they could not escape those guys riding horses to report their messages.

At this moment, the pursuers of the Wells Legion had come, and the two teams were only half an hour apart.

The Lombardy soldiers who were running for life were very surprised at first. They did not expect that their own people would turn to pick them up, and their steps accelerated unconsciously.

But when they saw clearly that the "block wall" that was quickly piled up with wood and stone had completely blocked the road to the south, hope turned into despair, and then despair turned into anger.

At the beginning, a man who looked like a small officer walked out of the defeated army and whispered to talk to his comrades standing on the "Close the Wall", and then began to climb the messy "Close the Wall", but just as he was about to climb up, a stone as big as a fist hit him, and the little officer was smashed down and his body was covered with wounds.

The little officer was furious and got up and endured the pain and cursed at the top of his throat.

But before he cursed a few words, the little officer's voice stopped abruptly, and a sharp arrow had already shot through his throat.

The sudden change caused an uproar in the defeated team. They looked in the direction of the arrow flying. A thin knight, who was as thin as a skeleton, was pulling out the second feather and putting on the bowstring.

"According to military orders, you should be beheaded in front of the formation! Turn around and fight against the enemy immediately, otherwise you will kill on the spot!" After saying that, the skeleton knight rounded the bows in his hand, and more than a dozen crossbowmen standing on the "closing wall" beside him also rounded the bows in his hand.

"Sir, the Burgundian army is chasing us, and there are thousands of people. How can we resist it? Please help me, please let us go." Someone in the defeated army had already kneeled on the ground and kept begging for mercy.

Then, there were a large number of kneeling defeated soldiers. They were already shocked by the posture of the enemy behind them and decided that they would have no way to survive by forcibly resisting.

Seeing that the brothers on the "Close the Wall" did not respond, the defeated soldiers thought they had acquiesced, and several of them had a strong desire to survive and began to climb again.

But just after a few steps, an arrow roar came and several defeated soldiers were shot overturned on the spot.

The rest of the people dared not move, so they could only kneel down and beg for mercy.

"If you survive, the Count will naturally be rewarded with great rewards. Even if you die in battle, your family will be treated with preferential treatment."

The Skeleton Knight changed his tone, "If you are greedy for life or are afraid of fighting, I will cut off your head, remove all your flesh and blood, and then kill all your family!!!"

His voice was not loud, but all the defeated soldiers kneeling outside the "blocking the wall" were frightened. They knew that every word the evil ghost said would be fulfilled.

"I will count three times and I will not turn around to fight the enemy. I will let you die here immediately." The Skeleton Knight pulled the bowstrings again.

"one......"

............

Angus guessed that the Lombards would arrange to block the army, but he did not expect that it would be the defeated team that was chased by him from the temporary camp.

Apart from the forty who were chased and surrendered along the way, and the twenty who left the brigade and entered the deep mountains and forests to escape, there were less than a hundred Lombardy soldiers who were forced to resist at this moment.

It should have been a trapped beast and still fighting, but at this moment the Lombardy soldiers' eyes were full of fear.

The defeated soldiers occupied a narrow section of the road, and seven or eight soldiers filled the road in rows.

Angsler, riding on the horse, tied the reins, turned his head, and looked at Klaus, the commander of the heavy armored team sitting on the flat-plate grain carriage.

Klaus understood it, and the heavy armored infantry who were chasing the enemy's abandoned carriages were already itchy. In the early morning, the enemy fled too quickly, and thirty or forty enemy soldiers were not enough to kill. In addition, the heavy armored infantry could not run past the cavalry and light armored warriors, so Klaus's men killed seven or eight enemy soldiers.

At this time, Angus handed over the large group of enemy soldiers to the heavy armored infantry team, and they were naturally excited.

More than fifty infantry in heavy armor jumped off a dozen carriages, lined up slightly, and then picked up heavy hammers and tosassins and rushed towards the Lombard army opposite...

There was no need to focus on the process. More than fifty heavy infantry soldiers who were wearing improved infantry armor, holding heavy weapons, and chasing leisurely in carriages, fought against a group of defeated soldiers who had lost their armor and ran for a morning. Naturally, the result was.
