Chapter 29 Fortress
"Sir, sir!" Deng Jiaer said happily, "We have defeated the rebel center army and left army in succession. Now the enemy only has 5,000 people from the right army left! Moreover, our morale is now strong, and with the addition of
This rebellion can be put down with one effort!"
"Yes." Su Cheng replied with a smile.
The battle to attack the left route army a few days ago went smoothly beyond Su Cheng's expectation.
Su Cheng seized the opportunity when the left army was sitting down to rest and quickly ordered the entire army to attack. Alan took the lead and led the cavalry to attack the enemy's rear.
The unsuspecting enemy soldiers were killed and their heads were chopped off before they even had time to stand up from the ground.
After the cavalry cut the enemy into pieces, the infantry followed up in time and launched a thunderous blow against the enemy that had been "broken" by the cavalry.
The result of this surprise attack was undoubtedly a great victory for the crusade led by Su Cheng. The left army of the rebel army was defeated, and the leader Abel's head was also hacked and beheaded in the melee.
But this time, it was not Alan who chopped off Abel's head, but several nameless soldiers who worked together to kill Abel and chop off Abel's head.
Both the center army and the left army have been defeated by Su Cheng. Now only the right army with the smallest number of 5,000 people is left. The numerical difference between ourselves and the enemy has finally narrowed from 1:6 to 1:1.
When Su Cheng thought of this, he felt a sense of relief, feeling that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It’s almost here! We’re just a little bit away from completing a legendary battle!
Therefore, Su Cheng began to feel more comfortable now, and there was no longer the feeling of a huge boulder weighing on his heart.
"General! The movement of the right army in front has been detected!"
A sentinel returned to Su Cheng and said to him.
"How is the right army doing now?" Su Cheng asked.
"The right army did not continue marching! They stationed themselves on a hill! And placed a lot of fortifications on the hill! It seems that they are going to turn the hill into a fortress!"
"What?!" Deng Jiaer shouted.
Su Cheng, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows and looked at the whistle as usual, asking:
"Where are they now?"
Then, the sentinel reported the location of the hill where the Right Army was currently stationed, and how far it was from here.
"Then it seems that we will arrive at the Right Route Army in the afternoon." Su Cheng said calmly, "I would like to see if the fortress they have set up can stop me."
...
"Quick! Quick! When Britannia's army comes over, seize the time to arrange this hill into a fortress. Arrange as many as you can!"
Abut commanded the soldiers to deploy various fortifications on the hills.
In order to prevent the morale of the army from being shaken, he concealed the news that the center army had been defeated. He only told the soldiers that he was stationed on the hill in order to better meet the troops sent by the Britannia Empire.
, and set up fortifications on the hills.
It has been nearly two days since we climbed the hill. Although the time is a little tight, under Abt's orderly command, a lot of wood fortifications have been deployed on this hill. If Britain
If the Britannia army attacks by force, Abt is confident that the energy will be exhausted until all the soldiers of the Britannia army are dead, and they will not be able to attack the hill.
"Chief! We have seen the flag of the Britannia Army! The Britannia Army is approaching!"
"Okay!" Abt moved his wrist joints, "Let the soldiers prepare to face the enemy! I would like to see how the leader of the Britannia Army captures this mountain with the same strength.
mound!"
...
"Oh my, this is really incredible. In such a short period of time, a small hill can be arranged like this." Su Cheng said in a relaxed tone, "It seems that this last battle will not be easy.
, I thought I was finally relieved.”
In front of Su Cheng and others, there are small hills with various fortifications made of wood, wooden fences, and horses. There are many flags on the hills, fluttering in the wind, and it looks majestic.
Spectacular.
"Sir, what, what should we do?" Deng Jiaer asked in a panic, "Our army and the enemy have the same strength. With the same strength, it will be difficult for us to capture the hill where the enemy is defending by force.
of!"
"Why are you panicking!" Su Cheng kept a poker face and scolded loudly.
"Your dream is to be a powerful general, right? Since you want to be a general, you have to keep one thing in mind! That is to stay calm at all times! If you, as a general, panic, then what will happen to the soldiers below?
How can you stay calm! From now on, you have to practice controlling your expressions and emotions! Even if you panic, don't let the soldiers below notice that you are panicking!"
Suddenly being scolded so loudly by Su Cheng, Deng Jiaer was frightened and shrank his whole body, but he quickly reacted and responded loudly: "Yes, yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Jiaer patted his face hard, trying hard not to let the panic look on his face again.
"Inform the five thousand-man team captains to let the soldiers repair on the spot first," Su Cheng said to the messenger next to him. "At the same time, tell them to be careful of the enemy's movements, and to be careful not to let the enemy suddenly descend the mountain to attack us during the rest."
"yes!"
"Deng Jial, Alan, you two follow me. Alan, you bring your bow and spear, and the three of us will circle around this hill and take a closer look at this simple fortress built by Abte."
"Huh? Sir, are there just the three of us?"
"Yes, it's just the three of us. We just go around this hill and take a look at it. We don't need to bring too many people. Besides," Su Cheng smiled meaningfully, "Alan is here.
, Even if all 5,000 enemy troops on the hill rush down, what are you afraid of?"
After saying that, Su Cheng knocked the horse's belly, pulled the reins, and rushed towards the hill in front of him. After so long practice, Su Cheng has mastered the trick of riding a horse and can control the horse skillfully.
Alan and Deng Jiaer looked at each other. Alan shrugged his shoulders, stuck out his tongue, and showed a cute smile. Then he took the bow and arrow and spear from the soldier next to him, knocked his horse's belly and followed Su Cheng.
.
Deng Jiaer had no choice but to sigh, pulled the horse's reins and hurriedly followed.
...
"Chief! I found three people riding horses around the hill!"
"3 people?"
Albert frowned, then walked outside to take a look.
I saw three people riding horses around the hill. The first person had black hair and was wearing beautiful white and blue armor. He was looking towards the hill while riding his horse.
Following him was a little girl with black hair, and at the end was a little girl with brown hair. This little girl with brown hair was holding a spear in her hand and a bow hanging on the saddle.
.
None of the three of them were walking very fast, they were walking around the hill as if they were visiting their own back garden.
Albert sneered.
"Huh, they must be the scouts of the Britannia Army. I have never seen such arrogant scouts. If you shoot arrows from here, you should not be able to hit them. Then, go! Send 100 light cavalry to kill these three scouts.
Get me your head!"
"yes!"
...
"It's really spectacular," Su Cheng looked at the small hill lined with flags. "If one day I command an army of 100,000 people, it would be so spectacular if all the flags of the 100,000 army were erected."
After saying that, Su Cheng laughed to himself.
"However, I don't know if I will ever be able to command an army of 100,000 people or something like that."
At this moment, Deng Jiaer shouted:
"Sir! There seems to be a group of cavalry rushing down from the hill. Visually, there are about 100 people! It seems to be coming towards us!"
Su Cheng looked in the direction pointed by Deng Jiaer's finger and saw a group of cavalry rushing towards them. He chuckled and said, "What are you afraid of? They do their thing and we do ours."
Soon, this light cavalry team of 100 people rushed not far behind Su Cheng and the three people, and stuck to the back of the three people, and the distance between the two became closer and closer.
Looking at the cavalry team getting closer and closer, Deng Jiaer said to Su Cheng in a slightly trembling voice: "First, sir! The enemy's cavalry team is already approaching us!"
But Su Cheng seemed not to hear Deng Jiaer's voice and continued to turn his head and look at the hill that was heavily fortified.
Desperate Deng Jiaer looked at Alan, but Alan continued to calmly grab the spear and ride the horse as if nothing was wrong, as if there were not 100 people chasing them behind.
Soon, Su Cheng and the 100-man cavalry team were very close.
"Hey! You three!!" the captain of the cavalry team roared at Su Cheng and the others, "You three are the scouts of the Britannia Army, right? You three are really arrogant! You are close to our camp.
So close for investigation!"
"Scout? Have you ever seen a scout dressed so handsomely?" Su Cheng asked the man, while tapping the exquisite armor on his body.
"This..." Su Cheng's rhetorical question made the captain of the cavalry squad choke.
Su Cheng turned his head and looked at the captain of the cavalry team, showing a strange smile.
"I am not a scout, I am the commander of the Britannian Empire's expeditionary force!"
As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Alan quickly hung the spear back on the saddle and took off the riding bow on the saddle. While twisting his upper body to face the back, he quickly took out an arrow holder from the quiver.
On the bow.
When his face was completely facing his back, Alan had successfully placed the arrow on his riding bow, stretched the bow string to the full moon, and pointed it at the captain of the cavalry team.
Without even taking aim, Alan let go of the bow string, and the unfettered arrow rushed straight towards the team leader with a sharp sound of breaking wind, and accurately hit the team leader's throat.
"Uh... uh..."
The captain of the team touched his throat that was hit by the arrow, let out a few small whimpers, and then fell straight off the horse.
The rest of the cavalry team looked at the team leader's horse with no one on its saddle as if it was a fool's errand.
While everyone was stunned, Alan kept taking out arrows from the quiver and shooting them at the cavalry behind him.
Every time Alan shot an arrow, one person fell to him. Soon Alan shot 5 arrows and 5 people fell, and the number was still rising.
"Damn it!!" Some people in the cavalry team cursed secretly, then accelerated their speed and rushed towards Alan.
However, just as he approached Alan and was about to wave the weapon in his hand, Alan would quickly put down the riding bow in his hand, hold the bow in his left hand, take off the spear hanging on the saddle with his right hand, and shoot all those who were close to him.
Everyone dismounted their horses or swept them off their horses.
Alan used only one hand to sweep off his horse one after another big men who were 1 or 2 heads taller than himself.
After killing everyone who came close to him, Alan would hang up his spear again, and then continue to ruthlessly take away the lives of this cavalry squad with the bow and arrow in his hand.
After repeating this cycle, this cavalry team has collapsed.
If the distance is too far, Alan will shoot him, and he didn't bring a bow and arrow, so it would be useless, because the skill of mounted archery is not something that they, a group of peasant rebels who have just learned how to fight on horseback, can master.
; And if she gets too close, Alan will use her spear to stab him off his horse. The speed of his spear is much slower than Alan's. When he just lifts his spear and prepares to stab, Alan
He has already removed the spear from the saddle, and then stabbed or swept you off the horse.
Slowly, the number of casualties of this cavalry team increased to 30 people.
"Damn it!! Retreat!!! Retreat quickly!!!"
The helpless cavalrymen pulled the reins and stopped chasing the three Su Cheng. They turned back to the hill.
"Alan, when did you learn archery? Or mounted shooting!" Deng Jiaer looked at Alan in disbelief.
"I learned it from an archer three days ago," Alan said with a smile. "I think there's nothing wrong with mounted shooting. It's just a change from standing on the ground to sitting on a horse. Although it will become a little harder to aim, it's just that.
It just becomes a little harder.”
"Maybe you are the only one in the world who feels this way, Alan..."
At this time, Su Cheng had just circled the hill and started to return to the army.
"I already know the specific situation of this hill." Su Cheng said as he rode back to his army, "Deng Jiaer, go and ask the five thousand-man captains to come to my camp. I want
A military meeting has been called to storm this fortress."
"I already have a plan to conquer this hill!"
As Su Cheng spoke, he smiled excitedly, and his eyes seemed to have stars twinkling one after another.
Chapter completed!
