Chapter 12
“Why do you say that?” Lim asked puzzledly.
“First of all, we are a surprise attack force, and the enemy does not know our existence. Secondly, Tagler is the lord of Alsace, and the location must be ours. Finally, according to Tagler’s description, Tenardier is Blue Nai’s nobles, with their arrogance, would not pay close attention to the countryside like Alsace. Then they probably think that Alsace has no resistance, put aside their vigilance, and can’t predict that there will be any formalities here. Resistance and counterattack.”
“Well said!” The silver-haired war girl slowed down and moved forward side by side with Cao Shurui and others. “Nevertheless, it is not good to be careless! Unless there is a huge gap in strength, no war can be won, a little bit. Small accidents can lead to failure. Be sure to concentrate!”
“Yes!” the soldiers responded loudly.
Two days later, the troops reached Alsace. The wreckage of the town still has a somewhat beautiful appearance, but the blood and corpses everywhere are silently accusing the invaders of the atrocities.
In the distance, there were lustful roars of enemy soldiers and the screams of the leaders.
The rubble of buildings and the remains of open-air stalls were scattered along the roadside, and the courtyards and fields were trampled by iron horses ruthlessly and recklessly.
There was black smoke rising in the sky, and many buildings had already burned out.
Tyger, who was worried about Tita (Tegler’s childhood sweetheart), hurried to the mansion, and Alan, who was worried about him, and Lim, who were inseparable, also went with him. Cao Shurui was ordered to lead soldiers to follow behind to clean up the enemy.
“Oh, it’s a pity that I can’t see Tita’s welfare, but it’s not what I should do to worry about other people’s girls… Ah!” After drawing a sword, Cao Shurui hacked to death a gunman.
“Brothers, don’t fall behind, stay in formation, and kill all the enemies that are close! The whole army will charge with me!”
The iron cavalry from Gistad began to show its strength on the land of other countries.
Soon, the enemy soldiers on the road were swept away, and the army regrouped behind Allen.
In front of Allen was with a petite girl whose body was wrapped in a cloak. Her eyes were reddish, her round face was lovely, and her brown ponytail was fluffy behind her head.
—That should be Dita, Cao Shurui judged this way.
At this time, more than a dozen enemy soldiers came on the road.
A smile appeared on Allen’s face.
“Black Dragon Banner!”
The commanded General Gistato raised the flag high, and the soldiers of the Tenardier family screamed. These people are estimated to have participated in the Dinant war.
Seeing this flag has fully helped them remember their fears.
Allen pointed the tip of the sword at the remaining enemy army.
“assault!”
The Gistato army shouted loudly and charged forward.
Cao Shurui rushed to the front. To be fair, these enemy forces are all experience points and gold coins. Kill one to get 1 gold coin. This is probably because they are all enemies with little combat effectiveness.
“I’ll take the lead in the charge!” Cao Shurui, who deliberately yelled for fun and dispelled some fear and anger, had already killed two enemy soldiers when the voice fell.
Practice for the past month is not useless. Now Cao Shurui is able to fully display the power of a level 3 hero, and his skills are approaching proficiency.
In this way, he was like a tiger entering a flock, he just killed all the enemies who wanted to escape before the companions behind him came.
“When you come out, you always have to pay it back.” With a sigh, Cao Shurui wiped the blood off the sword with the clothes of the enemy soldier and returned the sword to its sheath.
“The battle is over. Congratulations on the upgrade. It is now LV4, and one skill point is obtained. Gold coins X20 are obtained.”
Cao Shurui lights up the e skill Wind King Iron Hammer. Then return to the team.
“The enemy army seems to have retreated from the city now and regrouped.” The soldiers who went to investigate returned to report.
“Thanks for your hard work.”
After comforting the soldier and letting him retreat, Allen rode his horse to Cao Shurui’s side.
With a black bow in his hand, Tagler also drove up.
“The enemy who has not had time to escape may still be hiding in the city. A hundred cavalry will remain, and the rest will move on.” Without hesitation, Allen immediately issued the order.
Although surprised by Cao Shurui’s performance, Allen just nodded in appreciation at this time, and did not say much.
The number of enemy troops has tripled, but Allen’s troops are still vigorous.
From the mansion, Tagler obtained a map depicting the territory of Alsace.
Tagler, Cao Shurui, Allen and Lim immediately began to talk to the map.
“Our number is one thousand, but there are a hundred horsemen and horsemen staying in the city, so the number of people participating in the battle is about nine hundred. According to the report of the soldiers who went to reconnaissance, the number of enemy troops is three thousand. Although it should be reduced now, But it can still be regarded as three times ours.”
After hearing Lim’s explanation, Allen looked at Tagler.
“Tegler, where do you think the enemy will flee?”
“It should be the Plains of Molsheim.”
Tagler pointed to a point on the map and asserted.
“Zion (the leader of the enemy, son of Tenardier) should have expected that we will catch up. Therefore, he will choose the most suitable place to face the battle, which can exert the power of the knight to the limit. Then there is only Mo Elsem.”
The Molsheim Plain has a terrain that is rare in Alsace’s territory. Alsace is surrounded by forest terrain, which is not suitable for cavalry marching.
In Cao Shurui’s view, Brunel’s knight is a group of iron knots, covered in very tightly, and known for its high defensive power. But the inertia is too large, it can’t stop when rushing, it’s very heavy.
Chapter 11 Dragon Slaying (2)
Cao Shurui had previewed this war in advance. The topography of Brunai is mostly grassland with less undulations. It is an inevitable trend that this mode of warfare will become mainstream by charging heavy cavalry with full armor and then killing them by the soldiers who follow up.
“Okay. Then knock down those guys there.” Allen declared bluntly.
“Tegler and I led four hundred soldiers, and you will leave the rest to Lim. Cao Shurui, do you want to follow the team over there?”
“I’ll be with you, Lord Allen. You also need to ensure the safety of Tagler and Batron. You must not leave too far. Then, I will take the lead. I will take the lead in the charge.”
———————————————
One hour later, the two armies confronted each other on the plains of Morsheim.
The distance between Alan, Cao Shurui and the four hundred cavalry led by Tyger and the enemy gradually shortened.
When the distance was shortened to be able to shoot arrows, Cao Shurui drew his sword, and there was a faint wind flowing around him. His heart beats fast. The number of enemies in front of him is close to three thousand. But reason told him that once the melee started, he would only pay attention to the three or four people in front of him.
“Why, are you scared?”
Ellen beside him whispered in a voice that only Cao Shurui could hear.
“…Afraid,” Cao Shurui replied.
He was really scared. However, with Allen by his side, the battle was basically stable.
