Chapter 0017: A One-Sided War

Chapter 0017 One-sided War

In the tent, Sir Hanwick and the lords and knights had just listened to the scout's report on the surrounding situation, and waved him down to rest, and before he could speak, a surprise shout suddenly came from beside him: "Father! ”

Sir Hanwick shook, this is, this is little Jack's voice, close to his ears, but what about people?

In the void beside him, Master Li Xun suddenly appeared, nodded to Sir with a smile, and said, "Lord Sir, look who is back." ”

By Master Li Xun's side, Little Jack also suddenly appeared and plunged into Jazz's arms.

The lords and knight leaders retreated in shock, only Sir put his arms around little Jack and muttered. Li Xun found a chair and sat down to recuperate, waiting for everyone to return to normal.

The people in the tent repeatedly expressed the mage's miracle, and congratulated Sir on being able to get his young son back before the battle, so that he could avoid worries, and they were full of confidence in tomorrow's battle.

Li Xun also briefly talked about what he saw in the enemy's camp, especially mentioned the problem of numbers, and said that he would immediately go to the vicinity to reconnoiter and see what they were going to do! Then he didn't stay, he got out of the tent and replenished himself with "invisibility" and "levitation", and began to step on the branches and float towards the side of the camp.

An hour later, Li Xun hurried back to the camp with great interest, and marked two locations on the map for Sir Hanwick and the others, and a hidden place 3 miles away from the left of the coalition army with 200 thieves; There are 100 thieves hidden in a hidden place 4 miles away on the right, and it seems that they are planning to attack the coalition forces from both sides at a critical time when the war begins tomorrow.

After explaining the topography of the two locations, Li Xun yawned and hurriedly got back to the camp tent prepared for him, buried his head in a big sleep, his consumption tonight is not small, and he has continuously performed "stealth" and "levitation" to squeeze his mana dry, if he doesn't hurry up to rest and restore his state mana, how to deal with tomorrow's big war?

After falling asleep, Li Xunzhi woke up proud, but his stomach was grumbling with hunger, and he hurriedly ordered the food to be served, and while eating, he listened to the captain of the guard guarding the camp to convey Sir Hanwick's battle plan.

After finishing his work last night, Li Xun went back to the camp and couldn't sleep, but Sir Hanwick and the lords and knights discussed the whole night, and reached a final battle plan: the two lords led their private army and the city guards of Naya City with a total of 1,200 people to arrive at the camp of the Blood Axe Thieves 1 mile, bluffing, besieging and not attacking, but preparing to meet the impact of the thieves; 1 lord and 2 knight leaders led 600 private troops to defend on the right side of the coalition army, and monitored the movement of the 100 hidden spots on the right; Sir Hanwick led 800 of his own private army to the 200-man hiding point of the thieves on the left, trying to clear the dagger hiding behind it in one fell swoop. The chief of the knight's guard was stationed outside the mage's tent to convey the entire battle plan to the mage, and asked the mage to support Sir Hanwick's battlefield at his convenience.

Li Xun ate and drank heavily, silently, figuring out this battle plan, and still agreed with it in his heart. It seems that the Asteri Blood Axe intends to personally lead 400 people to defend the lair to lure the coalition army to attack, and when the coalition army is tired, he will use a three-way attack to defeat the coalition army in one fell swoop. This plan is very dangerous, and the danger is to divide the already small number of thieves into three, and if you succeed, you will win a big victory, and if you lose, you will be crushed. Sir Hanwick and other high-ranking coalition forces also aimed at this situation, using 1,200 people, including the most elite Naya City City Guards, to block the Asteri Blood Axe in the lair, and also defended the small group of thieves on the right, striving for Sir Hanwick to lead the team to break the largest dagger on the left first. Originally, the best way was to attack in two ways, attacking these two hidden points at the same time, but after all, it was a risk, in case of a mistake in a certain way, it would bury the opportunity to eat the enemy, so in order to fight steadily, the right side is still mainly to defend against enemy attacks, and a large number of knights are transferred to Sir Hanwick to strengthen the strength of the left side, and eat the 200 thieves in one fell swoop to lay the victory, and then try to grasp the victory.

After eating and drinking, Li Xun rushed to the battlefield on the left side accompanied by the chief of the guard. 3 miles, it really passed in a flash, and when I arrived at the battlefield, the battle was raging. The thieves were obviously unprepared for the coalition to attack, and the col where they were hiding was mainly hidden, and there was no strong camp to resist, and now they were blocked by Sir Hanwick and others, and there was no danger to defend, so they had to fight hard. The coalition forces had been prepared for this for a long time, mainly shield men and spearmen in the front, and hunters in the back launched a diffuse fire, spreading death to the thieves as much as they could. The thieves' equipment is disorganized, there is basically no armor, and there is not much leather armor, most of them are still cloth clothes and leather robes, and they really have no defense against bows and arrows.

Li Xun came to Sir Hanwick's banner and was warmly welcomed by Sir Huenwick and several knights. After a few days of getting along, everyone has become familiar with each other, and they all hope to have more contact with Master Li Xun, after all, there is a formal mage as a magic consultant, which is something that ordinary little nobles dare not think of! The battle situation in front was obviously on the side of the coalition army, and everyone was also calm, thinking about how to establish greater feats, so when the berserkers of the 7th level of the Blood Axe Thieves Regiment led people to frantically rush through the shield array and slash the spearmen, several knights immediately asked for orders to attack.

Although Li Xun also had this experience, he didn't dare to stop everyone's eagerness to make meritorious contributions, so he had to accompany the jazz to press the formation, watching from a distance as several knights wearing armor and shields withstood the berserker's giant axe with their guards, resealing the gap in the shield array, and surrounded several people who rushed into the shield array with the berserkers, slashing spears and piercing the spears, and soon there was only one berserker left in the reluctant support, with an unwilling howl, the berserker was also pierced through the chest by a sword and fell to the ground. The ensuing battle was lackluster, it was simply a massacre, and the thieves who had lost their leader and lost their terrain had no way to retreat, and they were slashed and killed on the spot, which became the merit of the coalition army. Sir had long since ordered that no prisoners should be kept, which was also the custom in the Duchy of Novis.

Before the morning ended, the whole battle was over, after the battle, 50 people were left to clean up the battlefield, and 700 people of the entire left army immediately returned to the camp, and 600 people of the private army of the lord on the right side were gathered, leaving 300 people to defend the camp, and 1000 people were made up to go straight to the hidden point of the thieves on the right, and in the afternoon, they also cleared the 100 thieves, which made Li Xun feel incredible.

Only then did Li Xun realize the importance of intelligence to a war. If there is no accurate information provided by itself, how can such a mixed team of the coalition army dare to divide troops for defense! How dare you draw the elite and attack the enemy's henchmen! I also care too much, and I am always worried that if I don't do it well, it will affect my "sea of bones" plan, and now I know that as long as you know this and know the other, a war can be so simple.

When the coalition forces returned to camp after two great victories, their momentum reached their peak, and they immediately attacked with great force, rushed to the old lair of the Blood Axe, and together with the 1,200 men here, they picked up the head of the berserker and launched a fierce attack on the enemy camp.

It was a battle that was sure to be won, and the coalition generals raised their eyebrows one by one, urging their private troops to fight bravely and climb up the camp regardless of casualties, while the resistance of the thieves appeared weak, and the Asteri Blood Axe did not show up at all, and the entire resistance quickly collapsed with the fall of the main gate of the camp. After the coalition army rushed into the camp, they found that many thieves were looting their property and fled to the back mountain, so the last battle took place under the wall of the back mountain, and many thieves gathered here carried the looted goods on their backs and fought for a few ropes hanging down the mountain, and the scene was chaotic. With the arrival of the coalition soldiers, the whole qiē was over, and the thieves of nearly 200 people did not die at the main gate of resistance, but fell on the back mountain to survive.

In response to Li Xun's strong request, at dusk, all the corpses of the thieves, including those from the two hidden points outside, were gathered in the middle of the top of the mountain of the blood axe's lair, and after some careful identification, no Astelli blood axe was found. It seems that he slipped away in advance, much to the resentment of Sir Hanwick.

Under the advice of Master Li Xun, except for a few main bandit leaders who were taken to Naya City by the lords to ask for merit, in order to avoid the plague, the remaining nearly 700 corpses of thieves and more than 200 corpses of coalition soldiers who died in battle were dug in deep pits and buried on the spot, and then a fire set the entire mountain top on fire.

That night, after resting and reveling in the camp at the foot of the mountain, everyone pushed their cups and changed their glasses, and when they enjoyed the carnival, Li Xun also said goodbye to Sir Hanwick, explaining that he planned to continue to go deep into the Whispering Forest to hunt down the Asterly Blood Axe, and immediately exchanged the enthusiastic response of Sir and the knights, and planned to send his own guards to follow the mage. Li Xun politely declined everyone's kindness, whispering that the forest was vast and boundless, and it was extremely difficult to really catch a person who just wanted to abscond, saying that he would do what he could, and would not blindly fight a lost dog there.

Sir Hanwick and the knights consulted and took out 8,000 gold coins from the seized belongings to thank the mage for his help, and each one of them offered his best survival tools in the wilderness for the mage to choose.

The next day, after the fire was extinguished, the coalition forces began to return one after another, and Li Xun also parted with everyone to greet him, and walked alone to the depths of the whispering forest.
