The south gate of Fort Loma was slowly opened, and the two soldiers responsible for opening the gate talked eagerly: "His Royal Highness Prince Vidim has ordered a retreat. When the time comes, Prince Vidim and Prince Wilson will definitely report to Kudan and Prince Wilson respectively.

When Zhivadin retreats, who will we follow?"

Another soldier replied: "How do I know? Mr. Kumubaboye only announced that he would join the new restoration coalition after it was established, and he did not specify whose account he was with... We will follow the places where there are many people.

There’s not much more – look, they’re already here.”

In the castle, a large army of hundreds of soldiers was running towards the south gate. The first person at the head was Prince Vidim, the commander-in-chief of the new restoration coalition forces.

I saw Prince Vidim turning to Prince Wilson next to him while galloping on horseback: "Brother, after we leave the city gate, you and we will go our separate ways. You go back to Zhivadin, and I will meet Kudan. Then we will meet again."

Discuss the matter of retaking Fort Loma."

"No!" Prince Wilson objected: "I'll give you a ride first."

Prince Vidim was stunned and asked: "Why?"

Prince Wilson said: "They besieged on three sides, leaving only the south gate. They must have deliberately let us escape through the south gate. In this case, they must have soldiers ambushing us on the way to escape. And brother Wang, you are the commander-in-chief of the army.

The target of their ambush must be you. Therefore, before you can be sure of your safety, we must ensure that the largest number of soldiers are escorted along the way."

Prince Vidim pondered for a while and felt that it made sense, and said: "Yes, there are similar battle examples written in "Roman Military System". As expected of my royal brother, he is really quick in thinking and clear in mind."

Wilson sighed softly and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Go back and throw away your book. Sooner or later you will die reading that book."

After the remaining remnants of the new restoration coalition forces rushed out of the city gate, they ran toward the northeast under the command of the two commanders.

Not long after running, a group of soldiers gradually appeared from the distance. After getting closer, everyone realized that it was the cavalry of the Virginia Legion—a cavalry of nearly 100 people!

Prince Vidim exclaimed on his horse: "Brother Wang! There are indeed enemy troops ahead! What should we do?"

Prince Wilson said: "What else can we do? Rush over!"

"Ah?" Prince Vidim was startled and said, "Rush over? We can't outrun them?" As he said that, Prince Vidim looked back at the soldiers behind him - most of them were infantry.

Prince Wilson roared angrily: "You have to run if you can't run! Otherwise, you stay and fight with them!"

After being yelled by Prince Wilson, Prince Vidim was immediately frightened and did not dare to speak any more.

Seeing that the ranks of the New Restoration Allied Forces were getting closer and closer, Virginia's cavalry clenched their weapons and shook their reins at the same time, and the wave of cavalry rushed towards the New Restoration Allied Forces.

Prince Wilson shouted: "Everyone! Listen to my order! Disperse!"

In an instant, the well-trained soldiers of the New Restoration Alliance spread out like ink poured into a pond. The distance between any two was no less than two meters.

Prince Wilson shouted again: "Throw weapons! Get ready!"

After finishing speaking, the soldiers held javelins and thrown axes in their hands, and their hands holding the weapons were sweating. They all knew that if they didn't fight hard, they would not even survive.

Seeing the enemy cavalry getting closer and closer, and the light reflected from the weapons in their hands and armor on their bodies was so dazzling, Prince Wilson immediately shouted: "Volume!"

"Hoola!" The sound of weapons cutting through the void sounded, and densely packed throwing axes and javelins attacked the Vaegian cavalry overwhelmingly. The ruthless throwing weapons continued to fall, and some cavalrymen fell off their horses and died. It can be seen that the first round of throwing was still

Quite effective.

However, before the soldiers of the New Restoration Alliance took out their weapons again for a new round of throwing, the soldiers in front had already received the impact of the cavalry.

"Kill!" The soldier who bore the brunt of the attack shouted a killing cry, drew out his melee weapons, and fought to the death with the cavalry coming through the snow.

The sound of weapons being exchanged, the sound of flesh colliding, and the sound of flesh tearing were endless, filling this new battlefield.

"Our target is only your commander-in-chief and has nothing to do with ordinary soldiers. If you are willing to lay down your arms and surrender, the Kingdom of Vaigia will definitely not treat you badly!" The voice of persuading surrender rang out from the charging cavalry team, but the nearby noises were all gone.

It was so big that no one could hear what he was shouting.

When the cavalryman wanted to shout a second time, a powerful arrow pierced his throat and he fell off his horse.

Aetherrod put down his bow, drew out the scimitar from his waist, and shouted: "Warriors of the New Restoration Alliance! The time has come to witness your bravery!" Then he slashed with his backhand, cutting off the cavalrymen who were running past him.

Horse legs.

Soon, Virginia's cavalry was completely intertwined with the troops of the New Restoration Coalition. Because the soldiers of the New Restoration Coalition had dispersed, the impact of the cavalry could not play a very good role, and during the melee, the cavalry

Their mobility was also greatly restricted. Although the restoration coalition forces were at a very embarrassing disadvantage, in the end the losses were not too heavy.

While they were fighting, someone shouted: "The man riding the red horse is Vidim!"

When Vidim heard this, he quickly dismounted and stabbed the horse's butt with the sword in his hand. The poor hunting horse was hurt and immediately ran away, knocking down several people along the way.

After running around for a while, someone shouted again: "The man in the red cloak is Vidim!"

Vidim was shocked and hurriedly pulled off the cloak behind him.

Before they had gone far, someone shouted again: "The person wearing the palace uniform is Vidim!"

Vidim was so anxious that he hurriedly cut his clothes with his sword and threw them away, revealing the chainmail he was wearing, and then dove into the chaotic crowd.

This group of melee troops fought and moved. When they came to a woods, Wilson shouted: "Speed ​​up! Hide in the woods!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers seemed to have found hope of survival again - as long as they hid in the woods, the cavalry troops would be blocked everywhere, and their chances of escaping successfully would be greater!

Then, like a cauldron exploding, the soldiers of the new restoration coalition abandoned their weapons one after another, lightened their burdens, and immediately ran desperately toward the woods.

Facing the sudden rush and escape of the newly restored coalition soldiers, Vaegiya's cavalry was a little unable to react, and was suddenly pulled away a little distance.

The Vaegian cavalry were stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed and immediately drove their horses up. Just now, the enemy was still willing to fight, so that they still had the strength to fight against them. Now the enemy has lost all their weapons in order to escape.

, then it becomes a blind beating. Although there are many obstacles in the woods, I estimate that I can chase down more than half of the enemy troops.

The soldiers of the New Restoration Alliance had already fled into the woods one after another, and when the Virginia cavalry following closely behind them was about to go in, they only heard the sound of "whooshing" piercing the air, and countless arrows and javelins were shot from the woods, destroying the vigilantes.

The Ghiya cavalry were caught off guard.

"There's an ambush in the woods!" one of the cavalry shouted.

Hearing this, the Vagian cavalry slowed down their horses one after another. Before the Vagian cavalry could make their next move, another "swish" sound broke through the air, and another round of long-range attacks was directed at the Vagian cavalry.

They smashed them, and another round of cavalry fell from their horses.

This move made the Vaegian cavalry furious. Just when they were about to charge in with a fear of death, they heard the sound of a whip hitting the horse's buttocks from deep in the woods!

"Kill!" In the woods, the cry of killing rang out, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer to the edge of the woods.

There was a loud "swipe" sound, and at the same time as the third round of long-range weapons shot out of the woods, the elite cavalry team also shot out of the woods. The first person, with a shining silver helmet and majestic appearance, was Lan Lan, the cavalry captain of the new restoration coalition forces.

Dee!

It turns out that Randy just escaped on the battlefield and led the cavalry here to ambush!

The cavalry team suddenly burst out of the woods, which shocked the Virginia cavalry team. They thought that when the new restoration coalition forces were at the foot of Fort Loma, the wind unloading team and cavalry troops were exhausted, and the cavalry team that escaped from the city was exhausted.

There must be only some infantry and archers left, so Yarogerk arranged a cavalry unit of nearly 100 people on the only way from Fort Loma to Kudan, hoping to use this cavalry unit to defeat the enemy.

The Vidim troops who were about to flee back to Kudan were killed. But what they didn't expect was that this cavalry unit that had originally escaped on the battlefield actually ambush them further away.

At this time, only half of Vigia's cavalry were still capable of fighting after being damaged in the previous battle, and the remaining ones were basically either wounded or exhausted. How could their combat effectiveness compare to this new force charging out of the woods?

What's more, one side is gathering strength and ready to attack, while the other side is rushing to fight?

Before the Virginia soldiers could think too much, the cavalry unit led by Randy was already approaching.

After the handover of troops and horses, the Vaegian cavalry basically had no ability to resist, and could only be passively beaten. After a round of flushing, most of the Vaegian cavalry had fallen, and before they could react to escape,

, the sound of the fourth round of long-range weapon shooting piercing the air rang out from the woods.

"Let's go!" a Vaegian cavalry shouted sadly, and the frightened Vaegian cavalry quickly dispersed and fled in all directions.

Seeing the opportunity, Randy immediately commanded the soldiers to chase him all the way. After chasing for several kilometers, he stopped when he was ready and asked the soldiers to pack up the loot and go back.

When they returned to the woods, the new restoration coalition forces that had escaped from Fort Loma had regrouped, and the discarded weapons had been picked up again. In addition, there was an additional team on the edge of the woods that had not appeared before.

An army of 50 men dressed as pirates - they were the same army that used bows, arrows and javelins to attack the Vaegian cavalry in the woods.

The disheveled and frightened Prince Vidim was standing in the crowd, his eyes dull and his expression blank.

Prince Wilson rode up to Prince Vidim, dismounted and said, "Brother Wang, you are frightened."

After shouting several times in a row, Prince Vidim finally realized what he was doing. The first thing he did was to look around and shout: "Where is Tan Zuo? Where is Tan Zuo!"

"Your Highness, I'm here." A faint voice sounded from behind Vidim.

Prince Vidim turned around and asked excitedly towards the young man with pale skin and front hair covering his face: "Where were you during the battle just now?"

"Your Highness." Tan Zuo said calmly: "I have always been by your side, never leaving." As he said that, Tan Zuo raised his weapon, the long-handled scythe, and wiped the blood on the blade with his sleeve.

"Brother." Prince Wilson sighed softly and said calmly: "He has indeed been by your side to protect you, otherwise I'm afraid you would have..." Wilson did not finish what he said next, but everyone understood.

What he meant. At the same time, Prince Wilson also secretly marveled. Judging from the battle just now, the young man named Tan Zuo was indeed extraordinary in martial arts. Vidim fled randomly among the rebels, and the cavalry around him came in an endless stream.

They passed by, but none of them hurt Vidim - they were all intercepted by Tan Zuo with the long-handled scythe.

Vidim was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Wilson's shoulders excitedly and said incoherently: "Wang, brother Wang...now...what...what should we do?"

Wilson stretched out his hands and took off Vidim's hands that were tightly grasping his shoulders, and said calmly: "It should be safe now. You can lead your men back to Kudan."

"No!" Prince Vidim said excitedly: "Why don't you...send me back first? Yarogerk's target is me, and he won't let me go easily!"

"Brother Wang." Wilson said earnestly, "It's safe now. You can go back first."

"An... is safe?" Vidim didn't want to believe it.

"Yes." Prince Wilson said: "As long as you walk fast, you will not encounter pursuers on the road. As for the plan to retake Fort Loma, I will contact you through a letter in two days."

With that said, Prince Wilson got on his horse and said to the soldiers: "Soldiers of the former Restoration Alliance Army, please follow me and take a detour back to Zhivadin!" Then he led the way and walked out to the southwest.

When the soldiers of the former Restoration Union Army saw Prince Wilson starting to leave, they quickly followed him. After a while, half of the soldiers gathered by the woods dispersed.

Vidim stood there and took a few deep breaths, then turned to ask Tan Zuo: "Tan Zuo, is it safe?"

Tan Zuo nodded lightly and said: "Yes, Your Highness, it is safe now, let's go back."

Vidim nodded quickly and said: "Okay, okay, okay, let's go back." After saying that, he pulled Tan Zuo and walked northeast.

As soon as Prince Vidim left, the soldiers he led followed suit. Soon, only Kumu Baboye and the remaining soldiers he led were left by the woods.

Kumubaboye only joined the New Restoration Alliance after its establishment and was not directly subordinate to Prince Vidim or Prince Wilson. Now that his territory was lost, he suddenly became homeless.

Kumubaboye sat on his horse, looking toward the northeast and then toward the southwest. After pondering for a moment, he resolutely turned to the soldiers behind him and said: "Everyone! Go back to Zhivadin with Prince Wilson!"
