"Sir Narant, I...my name is Pierre. I come from the south of Chave. Baron Chave is my father!" Although he has not yet surrendered his weapons, Pierre was intimidated by Narant's reputation and no longer had the will to resist.
"Well, are you from the south? Mr. Pierre, I am honored to inform you that you are now my prisoner. Do you have any objections to this?"
"No...no...right?"
"Very well, Mr. Pierre, let your subordinates put down their weapons and I will treat you preferentially!" Nalant smiled warmly throughout the whole process, as if he was just chatting with an old acquaintance.
"Okay...ok!"
Peter offered no resistance and accepted the request to disarm without tears.
The guards, who were already pale-faced, felt somewhat relieved when they heard the order to put down their weapons.
After Quick and others took over the team, Nalant called Pierre and prepared to inquire about the situation of the Agate Principality.
Since this Pierre came from the south, he must be closer to Oak City, and he might be able to know some news from the front.
"Sir Pierre, is your Baron Chafe close to Oak City?"
"Sir Nalant, our Chav Territory is two days' journey from Oak City!" Pierre answered carefully.
"Then do you know the recent battle situation on the front line? How is our Agate Principality army doing?"
"Your Excellency Nalant, I did hear something from the convoy passing by transporting food, saying that the Agate Principality's army has been besieged on a hill!"
"What, trapped on a hill?" Nalant's heart sank.
"Didn't Xiao Huihui complete the mission?"
Although Xiao Huihui was only sent out as a trial, Nalant still had some expectations.
Now it seems that it is very likely that Xiao Huihui's letter has not been delivered, which makes him a little disappointed.
However, just when Nalant was in shock, Pierre continued: "Sir Nalant, I also heard that according to the plan of our Majesty and the Marquis, it was impossible for your Agate Principality army to evacuate!
"
"However, it seems that just before our principality's army was about to launch an attack, your Onyx Principality suddenly sensed the danger and began to evacuate in advance. This allowed your Onyx Principality's army of tens of thousands to retreat hundreds of miles."
"And our army from the Northern Principality has only captured a small number of people from your Agate Principality, and the rest of the army is still under siege!"
"Evacuate immediately before launching the attack? So, our Agate Principality army has not lost many troops?" After hearing the following words, Nalant's heart that had sunk to the bottom finally recovered a little.
At the same time, I guessed whether this was Xiao Huihui who sent the message.
Although it was a little late, it was still better than being wiped out. It was a blessing in misfortune.
"Yes, Sir Nalant, I heard that only a few thousand people were captured. They were all captured after losing track of the team in the dark!" Pierre nodded in reply.
"Well! Thank you for informing me, Mr. Pierre!" Hearing the news, Nalant felt relieved and became more determined to disrupt the rear plan.
"My lord! My lord!" At this moment, little Shirley ran over anxiously.
"What's wrong Sherry?"
"Sir, Bee reported that another enemy has appeared in the north. There are many, many more people, at least half as many as us, and they are all riding war horses!" Shirley replied immediately.
"Half more people than us? Are they all riding war horses? This is probably a team sent by Jusen City to deal with us." Nalant's face immediately became serious,
He has been causing trouble in the Marquis of Lisson these days, and he has long expected this.
And the number of cavalry is not unexpected. At this moment, except for the infantry, all the cavalry in Jusen City are sent.
However, if the enemy sends cavalry, it will give him more peace of mind than sending infantry.
"Shirley, how far are they?"
"Sir, it's about three or four miles away and you can get here in more than twenty minutes."
"Devil, Shirley, the master knows the situation. You continue to let the little bee keep an eye on the surrounding situation. By the way, you can let the big fireball get off the carriage now!"
"Yes, sir!"
Afterwards, the little Loli immediately ran towards the rear convoy as ordered.
Nalant began to observe the surrounding terrain, and at the same time began to summon Quick, Raymond and others,
At this moment, the surrounding area is surrounded by plains and wilderness, which is considered the most suitable place for cavalry fighting.
Obviously, such terrain is very unfavorable to Narant.
Of course, he only has a few dozen cavalry teams. Even in more complex terrain, he has no advantage against thousands of cavalry.
At this moment, Nalant saw a low forest on the right.
Although the woods were not big, they were just enough for the serfs, carriages and horses in the team to hide inside.
"Sir!" At this time, Quick, Raymond and others just arrived.
"Shirley's bees have discovered a cavalry force in the north. There are thousands of them. Raymond, you should immediately ask the serfs to withdraw the carriages to the woods over there to take shelter. Remember to form a circle with the carriages for defense!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Vivian, you also follow Raymond and place five crossbows in the woods, just in case!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Quick, you should immediately start making the 'Wrath of Glory' with the Storm Riders. The more you do, the better. By the way, this time the leads will be replaced with fast-burning paper leads!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Big Stone, go and call all the barbarian coolies in the team. Remember to bring hoes and other tools!"
As orders were issued one after another, all of Nalant's subordinates performed their duties and began to make arrangements quickly.
Finally, Nalant personally led his personal guards and dozens of barbarian coolies to the open space ahead.
To deal with this invincible large group of cavalry, Nalant's response plan was still gunpowder bombs.
After all, this is the weapon he currently relies on most, and the best way to deal with such a large number of enemies.
Soon, Narant marked several locations for a group of barbarian coolies to dig.
The holes they need to dig are in different locations and have different depths.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The shallow pit is for planting bombs, while the deep pit is for guards who light the fuse.
Although Nalant's clay bomb is easy to use, it is too backward after all and needs to be ignited with the most primitive fuse.
Therefore, the lighting time must be accurate, and the safety of the ignition guards must also be ensured.
Let the guards hide in the pit and let them light the fire while avoiding enemy cavalry and explosion damage.
Soon, dozens of barbarians quickly dug holes at a distance, and Quick and others quickly delivered the clay pot bombs they had just made.
There are ten pieces in total.
General Narante placed these ten clay bombs in two different locations.
One of them has the most concentrated placement, with one placed every ten meters or so, a total of nine!
In another place, only one was placed, just in case.
Narant was very confident in dealing with the enemy's cavalry.
The only thing I was unsure about was that I didn't know the strength of the enemy's leader, and I didn't know whether my clay bomb could seriously injure the enemy.
If the enemy's level is too high and the black powder cannot severely damage him, then his little silver knight plus Catherine may not be easy to deal with.
"I hope the God of Glory can take care of me!" In the end, Nalant could only ask the boss of Glory for help.
"Sir, the person responsible for igniting the fire has also made arrangements!" With the clay pot bomb and the fuse buried, Quick came to Nalant and reported.
"Very good, then you all go to the woods first! Remember to tie up your horses!"
"Yes, sir!"
After hearing this, everyone immediately headed towards the small woods on the right.
"Catherine, you should go and escape first!" After Quick and others left, Nalant found that there was still an indifferent person standing next to him. He turned his head, but it was Catherine standing beside him in a lively manner.
"Sir, I'd better follow you! I'm very fast!" Catherine shook her head, rarely disobeying Nalant's order.
"Okay! Remember to follow your Excellency later!" Nalant did not press any further, because he had already seen the enemy in his telescope.
…
"What's going on? Why did Nalant suddenly pull us into the woods? Pierre, you were just in front, did you hear anything? Are our reinforcements coming?" At the same time, in the woods,
To be continued...
