Volume 2 Wild Ambition Chapter 152 Retake the Fortress

The Potato Mercenaries had been relieved of the siege, and most of the mercenary archers who stayed and chose to break through the encirclement of the Imperial Light Cavalry survived, while those who stood still and simply raised their weapons to fire back at the Light Cavalry were largely dead. The Marcus brothers were wounded, but judging by the blood and flesh on the golden axe and warhammer in their hands, it was clear that their enemies were much more seriously wounded than they were.

The throwing javelins were so sharp that many of the dead mercenary archers had several sticks stuck in them, and some of them died in such a terrible way that even the other mercenaries who came later were tingling and terrified when they saw them.

Fidel picked up the two twigs, and Saresa's helmet was tucked away by Ayana - she said it was her trophy. Feder moved north with the remnants of his troops, and sure enough, the "Torch Army" was a suspicious soldier that Patrick had deliberately created! The remaining mercenaries of the two hundred or so Potato Mercenaries were holding two torches, some of them looking out of breath, and the champion gladiator explained that it was because he had half of them running back and forth, so that from a distance they looked more reinforcements with torches.

"Being able to break through under the encirclement of hundreds of imperial light cavalry and defeat the Wasteland Python, it seems that this plan to build momentum has succeeded. Patrick complimented.

"Your suspicious tactics are very beautiful, and if it weren't for the support you sent, maybe we wouldn't have been able to get out so easily. ”

"Actually, I realized the meaning of you asking me to answer here, and those torches were all arranged by you," Patrick crossed his hands on his chest, then nodded and said, "Don't be modest, even without us, you can take down the commander-in-chief of the enemy army, and now as long as you return to Doret City, you will immediately become the new hero of the Western Ancient Empire Defense Army!"

After the potato mercenary group was put in order, they slowly advanced in the direction of the fortress. Fidel wasn't worried that Saresa would suddenly come back and launch a counterattack against them. He could see in the eyes of the other party the honor and pride of a female marquis and a female general, since the Wasteland Python had promised to evacuate from the fortress and return Lord Möngke to herself, she would not go back on her word. It's hard to say if it was someone else, but Fed's heart firmly believed that the other party would not deceive him, perhaps because of her long maroon hair that was exactly the same as her mother's.

In the direction of the fortress, some scouts of Meng Ge's own soldiers appeared one after another, and they only relieved themselves when they saw the potato mercenary group, and ran back to the fortress with the news. They informed Fidel that Lord Möngke had just been released back to the fort, but that he had been seriously wounded.

When Fide and his party entered the fortress, the soldiers of Möngke were cheering loudly, and they stood in every part of the fortress, and the cheers were like a tide, waking up the whole night. Some of the mercenaries cheered along, but Hei, Charlie, and Jasmine looked ugly. They each stood in front of the boxes of treasure, their weapons in their hands, like misers of the landlord class, guarding their private property.

One of Möngke's own soldiers shouted: "The potato mercenary regiment is too strong!

Another soldier said, "Our Lord Möngke has also been released!

One of the mercenaries shouted, "Fed is indeed a mercenary of the young hero! It seems that our St. Augusta Empire has been saved!"

As he walked towards the center of the fort, the people around him raised their hands in cheers, and some even reached out and touched Field, hoping that this would bring good luck. Of course, they knew the predicament they were already in—if the light cavalry did not retreat and surrounded the fortress, the 3,000 men they had sent to attack the fort in the middle of the night and recapture it would probably be pinned down to death, and no one knew how many enemies were ambushed to the south.

It turned out that these mercenaries and soldiers who were trapped in the fortress were not willing to wait for the rabbit at the beginning, they relied on their large number of people, and tried to break through after being surrounded. As a result, the light cavalry trained by the Wasteland Python extinguished all the visible sources of fire, but the throwing javelins in their hands kept throwing around, which immediately caused the mercenaries who could not see clearly in the distance to be in a big mess and fled back one after another. There were also brave fellows who rushed into the darkness, and no one knew whether they were dead or alive. Feder estimated that there were more than 100 light cavalry pursuing him, and that there might be 300 men surrounding the fort, and if the enemies who withdrew from the fort were also counted, then the number of enemy troops would be further increased. With the advantage of mobility and vision, they simply surrounded the nearly 3,000-strong troops in the fortress, and it was difficult to leave an inch.

The people in the fortress did not know how many enemy troops there were, they only knew that there were only a few dozen of Möngke's own soldiers who fled back from the south, and most of the people who followed Lord Möngke in pursuit were ambushed and killed.

Fed was led into the hall of the fortress by several of Mönggo's own soldiers, and Lord Möngke was lying on a wooden bed of animal skins, with many wounds on his body, and looked dying.

"Master Fielder, it's a good thing you saved Master Mönggo, otherwise our soldiers would have been beheaded!" the soldier knelt down and said to Field.

Maybe it's because of the influence of Montrey and the regent Xiumo, but Meng Ge, who is already seriously injured in front of him and falls into a coma, is obviously enough to make the two people in power angry. Although the mission this time is to make himself a hero, Möngke is clearly another option, and now that the other party has been captured and wounded by his rash advance, perhaps the regent and the chief of the general staff will blame him.

However, there was no time for Fei De to think about the rest of the matter, and the leaders of the Ah Hei Mercenary Group, the Mulihua Mercenary Group and the Superior Mercenary Group had already walked in, and they stood behind Fei De and did not speak.

"You people, don't obey our deputy commander—" Noor spoke first. But before he could finish speaking, Fei De waved his hand and told him not to blame the three of them anymore.

The regiment commander Charlie first said: "This time I did have a problem with improper command, but in general, I still held the fortress with my subordinates..."

"Didn't my crossbowmen hold it?!" Jasmine said, "my crossbowmen have pushed the enemy's light cavalry out of view of the fortress!

Ah Hei also interjected: "Hehe, that's it, that broken door is really deadly! I don't know who broke it!"

Charlie's face turned red, and he roared angrily, "Isn't the west gate also broken?!If the battering ram doesn't break through that gate, how can you get in?!"

"I didn't do that, it was Lord Möngke's own soldiers!" the dark-skinned Leader Ahei shrugged his shoulders and put the relationship aside.

The three regiment commanders blamed and argued with each other, originally these mercenary groups were all Fuller leaders who obeyed the orders of the Wave Mercenary Regiment, and now they followed Fei De and Meng Ge to fight here, and they have already become mutually incompatible, everyone wants to grab a little more benefit for their mercenary group, as for the responsibility... It's always something that mercenaries avoid.

Fei De stopped arguing, "There is nothing wrong with this incident, you have already bought us a lot of time by holding the fortress, and now that those enemies have been repulsed and the fortress has been recaptured, this time the mission has been completed very well." ”

Seeing that the other party didn't mean to blame the three of them, Jasmine immediately asked in a low voice, "That... Fidel... My lord, those treasures—" The other two regimental leaders also immediately stared at Fidel, waiting for each other's response.

"That's your spoils. ”
