Chapter two hundred and thirty third ringworm scabies
Chapter 233: Ringworm and Scabies
Seeing the actions of the crusade, the 20,000 Almohad troops who stayed on the spot quickly changed their formation, moved to one side, and sent out cavalry and heavy infantry to guard the outermost perimeter.
The three thousand cavalry who had detoured behind the Almohads early suddenly appeared behind them.
They were like sharp knives shining with cold light, thrusting straight into Almohad's camp from behind~!
There are ten thousand Almohad soldiers and all the supplies for the Almohad army. Once captured, the army will collapse due to lack of food.
The 20,000 Almohad troops in complete formation also found that their camp was under attack.
They obviously did not expect this situation, and they were immediately panicked. However, they soon stabilized under the punches and kicks of the officers.
Moreover, the commander was also extremely sophisticated. He knew that it was too late to rescue him now, and once he was rescued, he would be attacked from both sides.
He made a decisive decision at that moment. With determination, he threw away his car to protect his commander. Like a gecko flicking its tail, he dropped the camp and continued to retreat to the side.
Soon, flames burst out from Almohad's camp. As the fires grew more and more, Almohad's camp burned into a sea of fire. Finally, it turned into a sea of fire~!
The blazing flames soared into the sky, and even though they were more than ten miles away, the people on the top of the city could still feel the rolling heat waves coming towards them.
The camp gate opened, and a large group of old and weak soldiers ran out of the camp in a panic and chased in the direction of the retreat of the 20,000 soldiers.
A group of Maple Castle cavalry also galloped out from the camp gate, chasing this group of people and killing them. But then, as a reserve force, the Almohad elite regiment left behind came up and killed this group.
The cavalry soldiers encountered obstacles and stopped.
In the midst of the chaos of defeat, that elite army fought extremely well.
I saw that they were not affected by the defeat at all. Under the command of the officer, they divided into three square formations and surrounded the knights from three different directions. They wanted to encircle and destroy them.
Although the cavalry of Maple Leaf Danlin are brave, they are part of the Maple Leaf Danlin crusade—an elite knights sent by the Borelli Empire.
Although they were quite elite and powerful, they did not have as powerful armor or assault capabilities as the Holy Knights. Facing the dense forest of spear formations, they were immediately surrounded and restrained. They kept wandering around in the encirclement.
There was a commotion on the battlefield.
The shouts of fighting, the clash of weapons, the screams of soldiers, the screams of war horses, the thunderous sound of iron hooves when the heavily armored knights charged... all kinds of sounds gathered together. It was like
Like a boiling oil pan.
Lorraine stood under the city head, looking down at the chaotic situation. Only then did he know exactly how uncontrollable the battlefield could be.
Due to the lack of instant communication means and too many people participating in the war, on the chaotic battlefield, no one can confirm where they are and what they should do. Many people are following the large army, like big-headed flies.
Just like that, running around in a daze.
When the commander sees that a certain part of the battlefield is about to collapse, he mobilizes follow-up troops for reinforcements. And when the follow-up troops carry weapons and run over like a dog, this consumes a lot of precious time.
Often during this time, the frontline troops have either defeated the enemy or been attacked by the enemy. The commander of the follow-up troops can only choose whether to advance to regain the position or retreat. After sufficient strength has been accumulated, then
To launch a counterattack...
At this moment, he suddenly realized the battlefield situation described by a general he had seen: My left wing collapsed, my right wing was retreating, and I... I was attacking~!
Seeing this situation, General Wabador immediately gave a loud order, saying: "Except for the defending troops, other teams will go out of the city to form formations to pursue the enemy~!"
Following his order, 20,000 soldiers of the crusade poured out from the city of Hafs, divided into three formations one mile apart, and surrounded the elite Almohad army.
The commander of that legion noticed this situation and immediately issued an order. The three separate phalanxes let go of the cavalry surrounded by them and gradually moved closer.
The legion took advantage of the shock of the cavalry, kicked them hard in the back, and drove them towards the reinforcements here in an extremely insidious manner. It tried to use its strength to let Maple Castle's legion fight.
own people.
When the reinforcements saw the cavalrymen rushing towards them in panic on their horses, they turned around and ran away for fear of being rolled under their horses.
Lorraine looked at it and couldn't help but praise loudly: "Beautiful, this damn son of a bitch~!"
Seeing that the cover mission was completed, the commander on the opposite side originally planned to retreat honorably, but when he saw faint signs of chaos here, he stopped immediately.
Lorraine looked at it and was so angry that her nose almost became crooked. She cursed in her heart: Damn it, grandma, that bastard still wants to take another advantage.
He couldn't help but rein in his horse, and shouted angrily at the messengers beside him, saying: "Let them hold it back for me. Otherwise, I won't pay for it even if I die in battle~!"
The messenger immediately took off the horn from his waist, puffed up his cheeks, and blew loudly.
When the order was given, all the troops immediately turned red-eyed.
You must know that these soldiers have signed war casualty insurance with Maple Leaf Danlin Flying Eagle Insurance Company. Even if it is Maple Castle's inspection gendarmerie, there may not be an insurance investigator from Flying Eagle Company who can speak to them.
When the gendarmerie catches someone and beheads them, they have to go through a military court interrogation, but the insurance investigator only needs to say a few words without even a formal investigation, and the large amount of hard-earned money he paid will be gone. If there is a war,
He was dead and disabled, and he couldn't even get a single cent of his last life-saving money.
After they understood it, they immediately roared, turned around again, raised their spears and heavy shields in their hands, stood firm, and then shouted together at the top of their lungs: "Bo Rui"
You scumbags (bastards, bastards... it all depends on their personal preferences), go around, go around..."
When the cavalrymen saw the large steel formation with swords and guns here, they knew that if they collided with it, they would be dead. They gritted their teeth and desperately tried to control the direction of their horses by tightening the reins of their horses.
The flowing iron stream passed dangerously by the phalanx, passing the infantry. It went around, ran to the open space on the other side, and then stopped.
Even so, several cavalrymen who reacted too slowly bumped into the phalanx, breaking their bones and muscles and being seriously injured. However, those war horses rushed into the spear formation and were stabbed by those sharp spears.
Got a pair to wear.
Several soldiers in the phalanx also flew backwards under the impact, and were knocked over. They were all seriously injured. They fell to the ground, moaning.
When the regiment on the opposite side saw this situation, they immediately broke camp and left without saying a word.
When all the officers saw that their side had suffered such a big loss even though they had the advantage, their eyes all turned red with anxiety.
The whips in their hands were swung wildly, and the soldiers who were whipped screamed, driving them towards the Almohad's elite regiment.
The rest of the legion composed of small and medium-sized nobles fully demonstrated their nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. They shouted and happily rushed to the front of all the troops.
When the regular army saw it, they tacitly took a step back, letting the miscellaneous troops rush in front and serve as cannon fodder to explore the way.
Sure enough, when they chased for a while, they immediately screamed and cursed.
However, while the original Almohad legion withdrew, the rearguard troops continued to scatter iron caltrops on the ground and set up stumbling ropes as if they wanted no money.
As a result, the miscellaneous army fell into the trap immediately.
During the pursuit, they picked up a lot of swords and supplies abandoned by the Almohads. Because they were so happy, without warning, the soles of their feet were immediately punctured with deep bloody holes by caltrops, and they lost their fighting power.
.
At this time, the regular regiments moved up. While clearing the roadblocks and chasing the enemy, they did not forget to laugh at their unlucky comrades.
Lorraine was also among the chasing team, but found that the retreating Almohad army did not stop at all. They split into two groups and retreated along the avenue without looking back. They neither stopped to collect the defeated troops nor prepared to
They lined up to fight, but just kept running away.
The defeated Almohad soldiers were now running all over the mountains and plains, and Lorraine had no time to deal with them, so he just let them escape.
After chasing for several miles, General Wabdor's order for the expeditionary army to retreat came.
Lorraine looked at the dust rising in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a burst of hatred in her heart. However, firstly, the opponent was indeed running too fast. Secondly, she was afraid that if she chased for a long time, she would encounter an enemy ambush. At the moment, she could only order the entire army to turn around.
, return to Hafs City.
Lorraine and the others had just started, preparing to return to Hafs, when the rangers in front came back to report, and the Almohad army in front also stopped.
Lorraine knew in his heart that the general opposite seemed to be a really smart man, a veteran in officialdom. He was trying to fight the devil who would neither fight nor retreat from the crusade. He was like a piece of stinky dog shit and had to be held tightly.
Stick to yourself.
Anyway, this Almohad general has already attacked the city of Hafs. If he didn't capture anything, he shouldn't be blamed for not obeying the emperor's orders. It's just that he didn't have enough strength to defeat the expeditionary army, so he didn't retreat. He just stuck here.
The crusade army, if the crusade army chases him, he will run away. If they don't chase him, he will continue to stick to him. The emperor cannot blame him for defeat and running away.
Thinking of this, Lorraine laughed angrily. He said to Noila Mo next to him: "If this was the guy who attacked Maple Leaf Danlin last time..."
He pointed in the direction of the Almohad army and continued: "Maybe we will have a headache."
Noila Mo felt helpless for this stalking stinky piece of shit, took a sip of it hatefully, and cursed: “This cunning fox~!”
Lorraine looked into the distance and saw the billowing smoke gradually falling. It was obvious that he had begun to gather the defeated soldiers and reorganize the team.
Lorraine couldn't help sighing and said: "Forget it, let's go. Anyway, after this battle, he can explain to the emperor that he will never fight us head-on again. At most, it's just a chance to sting like a mosquito.
Just take a bite~!”
Noila Mo, who was next to him, also snorted coldly and said: "They were defeated in the first battle. From this, we can see that they are just suffering from ringworm and scabies, and there is nothing to fear~! Sir, you don't have to worry about it."
Lorraine smiled bitterly and said: "Scabies is a problem, but it is very troublesome after a long time..."
With that said, he turned his horse's head and led a group of soldiers to retreat in the direction of Hafs City.
After the battle, Hafs's expeditionary army entered a tense rest period.
After this victory, everyone was speculating on when exactly the command would issue an order to go up the Shari River and kill the city of Abdelwad, the capital of the Almohad Empire.
The city of Abdwad is famous for its luxury.
The soldiers of the crusade all had their eyes filled with red eyes, dreaming of rushing into the city of Abdwad and grabbing everything.
It is said that their palaces are decorated with gold and precious stones, and the royal family also has a garden made of gold and silver, where the branches, trunks, birds and animals are all made of pure gold and silver.
The most popular topic among the crusade now is the rumors about Almohad, such as the emperor's golden toilet, the rare treasures collected from all over the country in the palace, and the bustling streets in Abdelwad...
It was as if that city was a red apple placed in front of the crusade, waiting for them, the righteous soldiers who were crusade against the evil Emperor Almohad, to pick it.
Even those arrogant mages and priests often gather together to listen to the nonsense of those who claim to have been to the city of Abdwad.
Encouraged or tempted by wealth and honor, all members of the expeditionary army devoted themselves with great enthusiasm to preparations for the expedition.
Lorena was very uneasy about the atmosphere of optimism and greed that permeated the crusade.
Lorraine scoffed at Lorena's concerns and said, "Don't worry about those little soldiers. When it comes to robbing things, they are all amateurs here."
As he said that, Lorraine pointed to the top of his head, hinting at the generals in the headquarters of the crusade, and then continued: "They are the professional level. They took down the city of Abdwad, which is definitely
They take the big head, and at most they leak some scum to the people below. Didn’t you hear that General Wabador just opened his mouth these days to grab 30 to 50 million."
Lorraine Xin said that no matter it was the Soviet Union or Iraq, when there was turmoil, the common people could only go to the streets to grab a sofa, a TV, an air conditioner, etc. Only then could the big shots clean up the entire country's wealth in an orderly manner.
Luo Linna snorted coldly at Lorraine. Although she didn't say it, she knew in her heart that Lorraine was right.
Thinking of this, Luolina raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically: "Well... first of all, congratulations to Count Lorraine, you are also a member here."
Lorraine was not ashamed at all. She grinned and said: "Same joy, same joy. Deputy Commander Lorena."
Leo also jumped up at this time, raised his white and fat little hands, and shouted loudly: "There is also me, let's talk about it first, boss. When the time comes to grab things, you must take me with you."
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing a section of his white and tender little arms, then bent his arms, trying hard to bulge up a muscle, and then said: "Look, I am very strong now. When the time comes,
I’m sure I can get a lot of things.”
Lorraine looked at his little arms as thick as bean sprouts, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said, "Okay, I understand."
Leo agreed excitedly, and then asked: "By the way, boss, when are we going to grab things? Everyone can't wait."
Lorraine looked at the people sitting there, then sighed and said, "Actually, I also want to know this question."
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
Lorraine saw everyone's confusion, and then explained: "Because Almohad's troops have been sticking to us from a distance like dog skin plaster. The headquarters is having a headache over this matter.
The quarrel has been going crazy these days. They are suffering from a headache because of the Almohad troops restraining them.
They were planning whether to move southwest to mop up the army, or to go straight up the river and take the city of Abdwad.
Although with the current strength, the enemy does not dare to challenge and is absolutely sure of victory. But it is not easy for everyone to go out, and they are all here to make a fortune. Who is willing to let go of the fat and gnaw dry bones? "
Leo rolled his eyes and said: "This is not simple. Who is going to chase that army? Others have stolen things, so why don't we just give them some?"
Lorraine smiled and praised: "You are really a genius."
He didn't wait for Leo to puff up his chest proudly, and then continued: "If Catherine leads the army in pursuit and you go to steal something, will you give half of it to her?"
Leo blurted out: "My sister is so powerful, she must be better at grabbing things than me. Do you still need me to share it with her?"
Having said this, he suddenly felt a murderous aura sweeping in from the side. Leo immediately shuddered, then laughed twice and said in a huff, "I will definitely give it to her, is this even false?
Even if she grabs more things than me, I will definitely give her a lot..."
Lorraine couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. He was about to make a few more sarcastic remarks.
At this time, a knight ran into the headquarters, rushed to Lorraine, saluted and said loudly: "There is a situation, sir."
Lorraine suddenly stood up and said, "What's going on?"
The knight said: "We intercepted a carriage with this white flag outside the city, and the person on it said he was here for peace talks."
"Peace talks?" Lorraine was immediately stunned and said to a soldier beside him: "Go and invite General Wabador and convene a meeting of the generals."
The soldier immediately took the order and left.
Lorraine turned back and said to the knight: "Emperor Almohad sent an envoy?"
The knight hesitated for a moment, with a strange look on his face, and said: "Maybe... maybe not, but the person who came here claimed to be Archbishop Lagre."
"Huh?" Lorraine had paid a lot of attention to the political situation in Almohad. After hearing this, he couldn't help but be surprised and said: "This guy is famous in Almohad for opposing the emperor. He
