Volume Two: The Iron-Blooded Baron Chapter 150: The Battle of Nolandenburg (24)
Upon hearing Balin's question, everyone put down their knives, forks and spoons in unison, and focused their attention on Balin, waiting for his answer.
Balian wiped his mouth with a napkin, then took a sip of wine, looked at Balin's regretful eyes and said: "I knew you would ask this question, and I didn't intend to hide it from you. I wanted to tell you from the beginning.
But you were crying and fussing like a child at that time, so I forgot about it."
Balin scratched his head in embarrassment, "Sir, please stop teasing me. There is no such rough child as me. Please tell us quickly."
"Okay!" Balian said, "When you went to harass the wooden castle, I was just curious and wanted to take a look. Although I couldn't see it very clearly under the moonlight, I still wanted to take a look.
But it was this dim light that suddenly made me think of a question, what if the pirates were hiding in the grass around the wooden castle? Then wouldn't your reconnaissance team fall into their ambush?
At that time, this idea flashed through my mind, and I did not think that the pirates really dared to do this. After all, they had just suffered a big loss last night. They would most likely go out of the city and drive you into the forest. They did not dare to follow you at night.
You fight.
However, you also know the final situation, these pirates really dare to set up an ambush outside and ambush you."
"Hi!" Bahrain sighed, "Who says it's not the case? I thought the beating last night hurt them. These scumbag guys will never dare to fight us at night. I didn't expect them to play such a trick."
trick."
"Just allow us to use these dirty tricks against them, why can't we let them use them? It is this thought that made us make mistakes." Balian said with emotion.
Balin nodded in approval, and then he continued to ask: "Sir, how did you find out that the pirates had an ambush? The first time we beat gongs and drums around the wooden castle, we did not find any ambush.
Moreover, this group of pirates is very strange. They clearly have an ambush. Why do they send troops to drive us out? Instead of ambushing us when we harass them for the first time. In that case, we will not be able to hold off the cavalry of Rothschild.
.”
"Then do you think that the pirates who ambushed you had already prepared the ambush?" Balian asked, staring into Balin's eyes.
Balin was stunned by Balian's question, and he replied: "Is it...isn't it? My lord."
Balian nodded and told him with certainty: "No! They ambush around the wooden castle when they came out to drive you away."
"Ah!" Bahrain and his soldiers were shocked. They couldn't believe this was true. These pirates were really extraordinary.
Seeing their shock and feeling unbelievable, Balian explained: "When I first discovered this matter, I was just like you and thought it was too unbelievable. However, think about it, dragging the pirates
Having been domineering at sea for nearly a hundred years, is it really that easy to be manipulated by farmers like you who were still holding hoes half a year ago?"
After hearing what Balian said, Bahrain and the others' expressions returned to normal, and they had to admit that after their victory last night, they looked down upon the Toba pirates.
"So, am I right? When you went to harass the pirates the next day, you really looked down on the pirates." Balian asked with a smile.
Bahrain and the rest of the soldiers in the reconnaissance team all nodded in agreement. They killed more than 20 enemies with zero casualties last night, and after seeing the thwarted performance of the pirates' attack on the city today, they responded to this group of notorious Tuba pirates.
I couldn't help but despise him from the bottom of my heart.
"I estimate that Arsedan, the wolf master of this group of pirates, guessed our mentality and did this deliberately. This guy is really a powerful person. He can do this to us after repeated setbacks. He is really
Not half a human being." Balian was quite emotional. This Arthedan allowed him to see the wisdom of this time and space military strategist.
After sighing, Balian continued to explain: "How did I find out? It's because when the pirates came out of the castle to pursue you, they had almost two hundred torches, but when they retreated, there were less than half of them.
Think about it, they didn't throw the torches to the ground, so why did they suddenly lose so many torches? Besides, if they come out to pursue them late at night, they usually won't throw away the torches in their hands unless they encounter a very critical situation.
.
When things get to this point, I know what the pirates have planned. They are waiting for you to ambush you when you harass them for the second time.
After understanding this, I quickly called Rochiel over and asked him to bring the cavalry over to support you. Although I was delayed for a while on the way, I still dared to kill you before you were completely wiped out by the pirates.
Rescued.
This battle was so thrilling. After I understood their plan, my heart suddenly tightened, but in terms of the result, it wasn't too bad."
After hearing Balian's words, Balin suddenly realized. He hammered his thigh remorsefully, "Hey! It's all my fault. I just ran away with everyone without looking back. If I could look back a few times,
It’s not like we can’t find problems.”
At this time, Rochiel, who had just taken his seat, said: "Brother Balin, actually, I don't blame you entirely. These pirates are really too cunning. Your Excellency is looking down from a high place and can clearly see the situation of the torches.
But you are just looking at them level-headed, and there are either pirates or firelight in front of you, so how can you judge accurately?"
"Brother Rohir, come! Let me toast you first with the brothers of our reconnaissance team. If the adults hadn't found out in time today, and if you hadn't come here, all of us would have become the dead souls under the axes of the pirates."
As Balin spoke, he asked his brothers to raise their glasses to thank Rohir for saving their lives.
After they toasted, Balian continued: "Today, when the cavalry went out, I was also very sad. We only have this little cavalry in Fort Noland. If we lose everything tonight, our losses will be huge.
, even if we wipe out all these pirates, it won't be able to make up for our losses.
Therefore, when Rochiel led the team out, I was still very worried. I was afraid that it would be too late and you would all die in Bahrain, and their journey would be in vain. I was also afraid that they would also fall into the encirclement, and the pirates in the wooden castle
Come to support me too. When the time comes, all my cavalry and reconnaissance teams will fold in. I won’t even know who to cry to.
However, Rothschild and the others did not disappoint me. Not only did they rescue you, but they also came back intact. Not a single person or horse was lost. They rescued you and displayed the majesty of our Norlandenburg cavalry.
