Chapter 2 The Ambush
"Quick, keep up!" Baron Boris led the cavalry first, and he was still urging the stragglers behind him to catch up.
However, the looting has lasted for almost a day, and Boris's army is already exhausted. The cavalry is still good, but different soldiers are tired and panting. But revenge on the enemy is imperative, and Boris will not give up halfway.
When you come out to hang out, you have to be trustworthy. If you say that you will burn the whole village, you will never leave anyone behind.
So he simply abandoned the infantry that couldn't keep up. Boris took his cavalry and Kipchaks and prepared to march quickly to the last village. This was the territory where his enemy, Baron First, accounted for the largest share of the income.
Although being destroyed could not solve the enemy's revenge, it could be regarded as a temporary relief from the bad breath in his heart. By then, the opponent who did not even have territory would certainly not be able to make a comeback. Boris, who was filled with the flame of revenge in his heart, was urging the march again.
However, several other subordinate vassals beside him said with some anxiety: "Lord Baron, it is not safe for us to leave the infantry like this! We have to climb a mountain ahead. If there is a
just in case……"
"What are you afraid of? Pfister has been beaten like a lost dog by me, and I don't know where he has fled. He left the corpses of two to three thousand people in the previous battle. Who else is there to stop me now? But if he really
If you dare to come here, then of course it's the best! Let's settle our old and new grudges together."
Speaking through gritted teeth, Boris didn't take his subordinate's persuasion to heart at all, but focused on running for the attack - he was afraid that the other party had already gotten the news and fled.
So under Boris's command, the cavalry unit he led soon left the follow-up army far away and took the lead in reaching the mountains on the only way. Although he said that he was not afraid, Baron Boris really got here.
Still decisively ordered to slow down and pay attention to the changes in the surrounding environment. After all, this mountain pass is too dangerous. If it is ambushed midway, no matter how powerful the army is, it will be tied up in this valley.
Zhongdu will be fatal.
"Lord Boris, we..."
"Send a group of scouts to investigate inside first." The man gave a sound combat order.
So a group of light cavalry immediately went to explore the road, and their task was to detect possible ambush.
After a while, Boris, who was a little impatient, finally received the report that the scouts he sent had returned.
"How's the situation inside?"
"We have scouted every place and made sure that no one is ambushing in the most hidden places. They are safe!"
"That's good. It seems that we were overly worried. That coward Feist didn't have the guts to come and ambush him." Boris said sarcastically, with a mixture of pride and disappointment on his face.
As long as there is no ambush guarding the dangerous place, there is nothing to worry about in this seemingly dangerous place. Boris waved his hand, and the Kipchak cavalry, which had been impatient for a long time, ran at the front in a hurry.
However, after entering this inconspicuous valley, Boris, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, felt that something was wrong.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Looking at the baron who looked strange, the men beside him couldn't help but be curious. The scouts had clearly inspected the inside. Are they sure there is nothing wrong?
"It's a little strange! Look at these things on the ground, there's something wrong..." Boris muttered to himself, looking at the many messy footprints and horse hoof prints along the way. They were obviously left not long ago and were not traces of scouts.
There are still some haystacks piled on the roadside, and you can still smell a faint smell of oil.
"Could it be that these are ambushes set by the enemy?!" Some of the vigilant Bulgarian riders couldn't help but look around warily.
But at this time, their Lord Baron burst out laughing again, "So that's it, that's it..."
"Lord Boris, what are you laughing at? Do you see anything else?" The subordinates who were nervous just a moment ago looked at each other, confused as to what was going on.
Boris smiled happily, pointing to the marks on the ground and the pile of firewood, and said: "I was a little worried at first, but Feste really did not let me down. That idiot actually had the courage to organize an ambush, which really impressed me.
, it’s just his technique, it’s so clumsy that it makes me want to laugh.” The man ridiculed loudly while riding on the horse, pointing to the haystack with a faint smell of oil on the ground and mocking again, “Can this also be called an ambush?”
Following the direction pointed, other Bulgar officers looked over, and sure enough, those strange haystacks were placed here out of place. Anyone could guess that something was wrong.
"Maybe they wanted to set up an ambush here. They wanted to put down torches and light the firewood piles while we were on the way. Unfortunately, they saw us coming before it got dark and didn't even erase the traces.
, and then he fled in a hurry and left these half-completed traps." A young noble looked around and analyzed, while others nodded, feeling that this was indeed the case.
All in all, the opponent's ambush was really not clever, and they were also very cowardly. They handed over the dangerous place to them when they came halfway. It seems that they had overestimated Pfist and his army before.
"But, sir, it seems that the enemy should also know that we are coming! Maybe they have already arranged for people to evacuate."
"Yes, hurry up and chase them before they get far!" Boris, who just remembered it, immediately slapped his thigh and asked the Kipchaks to clear the way. Anyway, there is no ambush in the valley anymore, and there is no need to be cautious about rushing. He will not allow it.
The prey that was caught ran away.
After giving the order, some of the troops who were still exhausted immediately cheered up, and everyone hurried towards the exit of the valley without taking their cowardly opponent to heart.
Boris, who was leading the army forward, was still looking at the half-laid trap on the ground with disdain, thinking that if he had said anything, he would not have given up this last line of defense.
But just as he was thinking this, Boris, who was riding into the depths of the valley with his army, suddenly noticed something unspeakable. It seemed that something had changed in the surrounding environment, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
I subconsciously looked around again, and there were more hay piles here than before... They were piled here, but compared to the oil smell in front of me just now, why was it so much heavier? Why did it suddenly become lighter when I got here?
. Could it be that the person who placed it forgot it in a hurry? Or is it something else?
Boris, who was talking to himself in his heart, smelled the faint smell of oil in his breath, and suddenly thought of the man here, his face suddenly froze, and his eyes widened, and he felt cold in his heart——
No, I fell into a trap!
"There's an ambush!"
But before Boris, who suddenly changed his color, had time to shout, a violent explosion sounded from the front, and then the screams of everyone in the Kipchak in front came. And the next second, the motionless grass
Chapter completed!
