Chapter 519: Division of Troops

"Bastard! That Alan thought he was some great character, wasn't he just a baron? On the way back, Abel said with a hideous face: "Uncle, after this war is over." I'll get out of the Deep Sea Scale, and then you will make me a knight first, and in less than three years, I can also sit in the position of baron. At that time, I watched how Alan used the title to pressure me. ”

Graal shook his head and said, "That's fine, but you're willing to Miss Jora?" ”

Speaking of Jora, Abel's face darkened, and he smiled bitterly: "Actually, you know that even if Miss Jola doesn't take a fancy to Allen, it won't be my turn." I have heard that the Earl is preparing to marry the Marquis of Iron Spear, most likely with the intention of marrying Miss Jora to the son of Hoy. ”

"Miss Jora, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it, but at least, I can't let Alan look down on it."

"If you can see that, I don't have much to say. Jora has a special status, she is the Count's sister. It is not surprising that Oban would marry her to Hoy's son for the sake of revitalizing the family. ”

Abel nodded and said, "I just want to make Miss Jora look at me differently, even if it's just once." Uncle, you'll definitely help me, won't you? ”

Glaar sighed, "You are the best young man in our family, and I won't help anyone for you." What's more, this guy Allen, I don't like him very much. ”

The uncle and nephew were talking, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind them. The two of them turned their heads to see that it was Ruola galloping on a snow-white war horse. It was her favorite horse, and Jora came to them, turned over and dismounted. His gaze first swept over Abel, and finally fell on Glaar: "Uncle Glaar, why do you do this!" ”

Glaal pretended to be confused and said, "Miss Jora, what did you say?" ”

"You know what I say, I know what you and Abel are thinking. But I warn you, this is the last time, and don't provoke Sir Allen again. You and I both know what Sir Alan and his army can do in the present situation. I need their strength, and if you do it again, I can only ask you to leave. After saying that, Ruola turned over and got on the horse, patted the horse's stock, and the war horse spread its footsteps and galloped away.

Immediately, Jora's teeth itched with hatred, and she said secretly: "If I knew that this Glaal was so hateful, I should have asked my brother to copy the vault of his nest as well!" ”

The eldest lady still has a lot of thoughts about Glar's treasury, and of course, whoever can steal millions of family property in one night will be like her. It's a pity that now is not the time, and Jora can only think about it in her heart.

The unicorn army was eerily quiet that day, and there was no more attack.

However, just as it was about to dawn the next day, a group of cavalry drove out of the unicorn barracks. The horse's hooves were wrapped with soft cotton cloth, making the horses' hooves silent. When the cavalry marched out of the camp in a whirlwind, Jora's several outposts placed near the enemy camp were all found and knocked out one by one.

Daniel, disguised himself as a minim, watched the cavalry leave, and at his feet was the corpse of a scout. He wiped the blood from his sword with the clothes on his corpse, and then lowered his helmet and walked back in the direction of the barracks.

At the darkest hours before dawn, the cavalry of the Unicorn Legion attacked the main city of Bauhinia. However, it was only a harassing attack, but by the time Jora arrived, dozens of corpses of the guards had fallen on the walls. After the enemy cavalry struck a blow, he immediately flew away, and he didn't even look at the result, which made Ruora really stomp his feet with hatred, and there was no way at all.

After dawn, the horn of attack sounded in the unicorn's camp. Detachments drove out of the barracks and attacked in the direction of the main city. This time, Hagus dispatched three troops, and as the army charged, the rumbling and dull sound of cannon rang out. The eight guns that had been brought in with Daniel yesterday were rearranged on the shelling position, and heavy troops were deployed in front of the position, so as to prevent the incident of being put to an end by Allen's several rounds of fire and thunder bombardment yesterday.

This time, under the cover of artillery shelling, the deep sea scaly looked not as relaxed as yesterday. Several firing points on the wall had been patronized by enemy artillery shells, and one after another black shells fell from the air with a sharp roar, setting off a continuous explosion on the wall. Although the strong men in several armies such as Ruola rose up to intercept them, after all, the number of people was limited, and the area of the wall that could be protected was correspondingly small.

More places were bombarded by artillery fire, resulting in the fire of the deep sea scales. The gunners were unable to effectively suppress the enemy's advance to the city walls. After several rounds of fierce offensive and defensive battles, the battle lasted for more than an hour, and the unicorn camp sounded the trumpet of retreat. So they left the city full of wolf smoke and quickly retreated. If Ra was not angry, he sent a cavalry to chase after him, but only one group of enemy soldiers was killed, and the unicorn sent a helping hand, and the deep sea scaly had to withdraw.

In this way, the battle of you attacking and defending, and you retreating and chasing after me was staged many times throughout the day. The unicorns were fighting so often that day that Hagus organized the entire army into several teams, each of which went into battle one after the other. Each battle was short and intense, and after a battle was completed, the team returned to camp and a new team was dispatched. This is repeated, although the physical energy of the unicorn army is also being consumed, it is obvious that the consumption of the deep sea scale is much more intense.

Especially the enemy's endless attacks, the continuous offensive made the deep sea scaly Ji feel a little breathless. So much so that in the end, as soon as the cannon was heard, the soldiers jumped up almost reflexively, and there was no time to rest at all.

It wasn't until late evening that the unicorns' side stopped attacking, and the warriors of the Deep Sea Scales were exhausted, and many of them took a random corner of the wall, closed their eyes and fell asleep.

"It's not good."

On the guard, Jora said worriedly.

Alan glanced at it, and all he saw was a tired warrior. Such soldiers have almost no combat effectiveness, and what is even worse is that their morale and fighting spirit have been wiped out by the repeated attacks of the enemy today. Alan sighed: "Hagus intends to polish our morale and combat strength, and then launch a general attack, and the victory or defeat will be determined in one battle. ”

"Then they have miscalculated, and tomorrow my brother's army will arrive. At that time, we will kill them in both ways, and not a single piece of armor will be left. ”

"It's not that simple." Allen shook his head and said, "The two armies are facing each other, and military intelligence is the first." If Daniel didn't even know that Earl Obana's army was rushing here, he wouldn't be qualified to sit in the position he was in. If I were Daniel, I would definitely make some arrangements to delay the Count's army. ”

As if to verify Alan's words, Jora received an urgent report shortly after. The urgent report was sent by Oban, claiming that he had been harassed by Daniel's army on the way, and that he probably could not arrive on time. Tell Jora to continue to do a good job of defense. After handing this urgent report to Allen, Jora sighed, "It seems that we will have to hold it for another two days or so." ”

After reading the emergency report, Alan sighed: "If this is the case, it will be in Daniel's arms." We've got to do something so we don't have to be defensive all the time. ”

After that, a shallow smile appeared on his face: "I have a plan, which is to take risks." ”

"What's the plan?" Jora asked, looking up.

"From what you know of Daniel, he has a heavy army here now, and he still has the energy to harass the Count's army. So how many defenders do you think he still has in his territory? ”

Jora thought about it seriously and said, "The number of unicorn legions is about three thousand people, and you have disabled a thousand troops before. Even if the reserves are used, it is barely about 2,500 people, which is almost the number of heavy troops deployed here. The power Daniel used to harass his brother was most likely a mercenary or adventurer recruited from other sources, and there could not be many guards in the territory. ”

"At most, it won't be more than three hundred, right?"

Alan nodded and said, "I think so too, so I have a plan." I left tonight with a team, bypassing Bauhinia and going straight to Daniel's lair. I'm going to see if he's on fire in his backyard, and I'm going to put all the heavy troops here? ”

"You mean, you want to force Daniel to divide his troops?" Jora happily said, "That's a good idea, but Daniel isn't here, so he must be in charge of his own territory." If you go, I'm afraid you'll bump into him directly. ”

"That's why I say it's a bit risky, but no one can be sure of winning the war, as long as there are more than five points, I think I can give it a go." Alan resolutely said: "Just do it, I'll go down and let people get ready, and leave late at night." ”

"Be careful." Jora is not a muddy person either, agrees at the moment.

Alan turned around and was about to leave, when suddenly Jora's hand was caught. She pulled back, and when Alan turned around, Jora's two red lips were already printed on his lips. Despite the fact that the two of them were separated by a touch, Jora's face was as red as a ripe apple. She whispered, "You must come back." ”

"Of course, Daniel is not a beauty, and I have no interest in lingering on his territory." Alan joked, and this was the real departure.

Late at night, Alan didn't alarm anyone. Quietly leaving the city under the cover of a team of Jora's henchmen, he left with hundreds of warriors, an elite team composed of the Mountain King, Cunhuo and several Dark Blades, the target was Daniel's territory.

But even Alan didn't know that he had made a mistake this time. Daniel had secretly come to the Bauhinia Territory to deal with him, and as for the Viscount's own domain, it was now at its emptiest moment.

The soldiers brought out by Allen are all elite, and the combat effectiveness of this team is no worse than that of a regular army of five hundred people, or even more sophisticated. The team marched at full speed, through mountains and rivers, after a night of galloping. According to the detailed map given by Jora, Alan and the others sneaked in from the side of the Emerald Mountains to the Unicorn Castle, hoping to surprise Daniel.

Before dawn, in a forest facing Lake Porttili, Alan was hiding in the canopy of a large tree. From his direction, there were only a few flickering lights on the dark lake, which were reflected in the towers of the Unicorn Castle.

By the light of the fire, Alan vaguely saw a few defensive walls of varying heights, and there were only a few guards. Just as he and Jora had guessed, Daniel had a pitiful number of guards in his territory when he was exhausted.

It's an opportunity, and there's only one Daniel to worry about.

Calculating the time, it has been a month since Charlier was poisoned, and according to Baggins' estimate, Daniel should have dropped a level by now. A twenty-fourth-level viscount may not necessarily be so difficult to deal with. Even if he loses the enemy, he can calmly retreat and Alan asks himself.

He slid down the tree when four Darkblade warriors dressed in black nightwear approached. Alan pointed in the direction of the castle: "Watchtower." ”

The Darkblade warriors immediately understood, and they gathered their breath and dived towards the castle in the night.

Alan gestured, and the warriors hiding in the woods quietly arrived, ready to attack at any moment. Now just wait for the Darkblade's movements, and it didn't take long for the firelight in a sentry tower to the left side of the ancient castle facing the woods, which was the signal that the Darkblade warrior had succeeded. Alan didn't hesitate any longer, and raised Qianjun to point forward.

So in the darkest hour of heaven and earth, a war horse with cotton hooves scurryed out of the woods, and galloped up the lake avenue of the castle like a group of ghosts with silent steps. It wasn't until the team had crossed the halfway point of the passage that a napping guard on the wall happened to look down and realized that the enemy was in front of them. He hurriedly rang the silver bell next to him to send a signal of an enemy attack.

As soon as he finished knocking, the guard's chest was cold. Behind him, a Darkblade warrior appeared like a ghost. After drawing the poisoned short knife that pierced his chest, he placed the guard firmly on the floor of the guard wall, and then swept towards a group of guards who heard the sound not far away.

As they approached the wall, the fire warriors in the group raised their rifles. The sequence was activated at Alan's command, and the lines lit up on these rugged rifles. In the next moment, more than thirty fireballs dragged the tail of the flame and landed on the sentry tower, the commanding height, and the position of the two defensive guns on the ancient castle.

A loud bang immediately tore through the quiet night of Lake Porttili, and the flames that rose into the sky set the night above the castle on fire. The light of the fire reflected on the surface of the lake, clearly reflecting the ancient castle with flames coming out of the flames.

The men in the castle were awakened, and the warriors hurriedly put on their armor, ran out of the barracks, and ran towards the castle wall. In the castle, the old butler, who heard the explosion, held an ancient fire. The gun went out of the room, and the screaming servants in the corridor ran in all directions, and the sporadic explosions continued to be heard outside, and the continuous rough gunfire made the old butler's heart beat up and down.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly, as Daniel left the castle, the castle had been attacked. This has never happened in nearly 20 years. It was the first time that Lake Porttilly had been set on fire, and the old butler realized that this time Daniel had indeed provoked a formidable opponent. R1058
