Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 31

Knight Commander Les led the Knights to serve as the vanguard. He saw the Maiden Chief Brent from a distance, and he had already led his people out of the village to meet him. When he got closer, the Chief Brent came up to him and said, "Cnight Chief My lord, all the young and strong serfs in Maimaitun are here, you can see if there are enough."

Les waved his hand. Ever since the young master became a baron, no serfs were conscripted to serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield.The serfs served as auxiliary soldiers, helping to transport food and set up camps.This time the food has already been transported to Maimaitun, and the battlefield is estimated to be near Maimaitun, so they will not be needed.

Said: "Let them disperse, the young master said that no serfs will be conscripted this time."

"Master Knight, I didn't order this. They learned that Earl Violet was coming to attack, and rushed to come here, saying that they wanted to protect this place."

"The young master's army is right behind, and the young master will decide when the time comes." Les pointed to the knight behind him, and said, "Prepare some food and fodder, we will continue to investigate the enemy's situation later."

"Food and fodder have already been prepared, please come with me."

The crowd automatically parted ways, and the knights formed a long line, wearing armor and holding spears, and the sound of horseshoes sounded. Under the envious eyes of the serfs, the knights held their heads high and showed themselves generously. heroic.The army not only has to fight, it can also do propaganda for the territory.

Knights gather in twos and threes, chatting casually
"This horse eats better than mine, and it can't be hungry. It's like feeding an old man."

"Haha, don't you have to rely on this uncle on the battlefield? Without the uncle, how can you be a grandson like you."

"Go, go away."

And Rice and the Cavalier Captain got together for a meeting, and Rice found that the meeting invented by the young master was really a good thing.After letting the captains know what they think, and then let them understand why they did it, the next action will be much smoother.

Rice said: "After leaving Maimaitun, the Knights will move forward in a small group. Remember to send someone back to report the news as soon as you encounter Violet's scouting knight."

"Does the team still need to be divided into groups?"

"No, we already know the direction of the Violet infantry, so we don't need to disperse so far."

"As ordered."

Before the battle, send knights to explore the surrounding terrain and scout the enemy's situation, including but not limited to, the specific location, how many knights, how many infantry, how many serfs, and roughly how much food they brought.What's more, go deep into the enemy's rear and search for the grain road on the opposite side.These are beyond doubt, and the captains of the Cavaliers have no doubts, and they all follow suit.

……

Rao, with the military rank of Two Suns, is leading his knight squad, a total of 20 people.Going south along the road newly built by the young master, Rao was injured in the battle against the Clivia Territory a few days ago, and missed the two events of conquering the Clivia Territory and setting up a knight team to go deep into the hinterland of Tulip to search for news.

After recovering from his health, Rao, who had long been impatient, chose this path decisively, in order to bump into Violet's scouting knights and beat them up.

"Captain Rao, there is a voice ahead."

Rao drove his horse forward, and when he got to the front, he saw some figures swaying in the distance, getting closer and closer, and he could see their faces clearly, it was Tolu and the others.Rao first motioned to go back and report the message alone, then waved forward, motioning everyone to rush up and have a look.

"Tolu, what happened, why are you and them alone?" Rao pointed to the twenty or so civilians without horses

"In order to save this group of people, I wasted some time and was discovered by Violet's probing knights." Tolu pointed to the twenty or so people around him, "These twenty or so people are also father and son just like Daly. All together, together with several of my father's brothers, formed a small family, all of whom are blacksmiths."

"Later, we met Ndom again. Ndom and Zamel led the knights and followed behind. I was in charge of sending them back first, and passing the news to the young master by the way."

"what news."

"This time, not only Earl Violet, but also Baron Sakura, Baron Clivia, and Baron Sakura are leading the charge. It is estimated that there are hundreds of people in the Knights, and they are also driving a group of serfs. It seems that there should be three to four hundred people."

"Behind them is Earl Violet's large army. There are five to six hundred infantrymen, five to six hundred knights, and two to three thousand serfs."

Rao called Yiqi again, and said, "Remember it all."

"remember."

"Go and report to the young master. The rest and I will help Captain Ndom and Captain Zamel."

"As ordered."

Ahead, Ndom and Zam'el are in critical condition.

"Don't take the avenue, they are one person and two horses, and it's over if they take the avenue. If you go this way, they can't pick up the speed." Ndom looked back, and saw more than 20 riders and more than 40 horses rushing towards them.

Relying on his knowledge of the nearby terrain, Ndom went in circles with them.However, although the war horse under his crotch was full of explosive power, his endurance was really poor, and he was chased by the Sakura Knight with one man and two horses.

"Stop and surrender, you still have a chance to survive." Sakura Knight chased closer and closer, and his voice became louder.They try to trick the Knight of Iris into stopping.

What's more terrible is that there is a wilderness in front of it, and the terrain is flat. For the knights, this is a paradise for them to charge, but for the Iris Knight at this time, it is a disaster.

Ndom said: "It is estimated that Tolu is about to arrive at Maitun now, knights, our mission has been completed, and now is the time to show our bravery."

After the Tulip soldiers surrendered, they were consumed as cannon fodder, and their families were massacred by the Violet soldiers. The Iris Knights knew that they had only one way to fight to the end.

In the wilderness, there are more than a dozen knights riding irises, with more than a dozen slightly tired horses under their crotches, and on the opposite side are more than 20 knights riding cherry blossoms, and more than 40 horses. The distance between the two sides is 800 meters, and the eyes are tightly closed Staring at each other, only the neighing of war horses sounded from time to time.

The setting sun shone on the iris knights, and the setting sun was like blood, dyeing the armor they wore and the war horses under their crotches blood red. The knights narrowed their eyes slightly, as if they were blinded by the setting sun from a distance.

There was a sound of thunder on the ground, and Sakura Knight rode his horse to charge. The sound of horseshoes was like thunder, and the life was endless. Iris Flower Knight also picked up his horse speed and rushed towards Sakura Knight.The two sides staggered past, there was no magnificent martial arts, only the most simple stabbing, and the spears that slightly avoided the opponent, so as not to hit the vital point.

Ndom looked around, counting him as only four people, and eight horses without owners, bowing their heads and grazing on the ground.The Sakura Knight on the opposite side continued to shout: "Surrender quickly, you can avoid death."

The four looked at each other. Their wives and children were all in Iris Town. If they surrendered, would they be like the tulip infantry, with their wives separated and their families destroyed?No, then fuck it.

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes sounded behind him, and the Sakura Knights turned their heads to look. They were frightened instantly, and saw the Iris Knights who were neatly arranged not far away rushing towards him. The Sakura Knights were caught in a dilemma. Turn around to defend, or wipe out the remaining four riders in front first.

The leading Sakura Knight made a decisive decision. Before the speed of the horse was raised, it was estimated that they would be overtaken by the knights behind him. He ordered the Sakura Knight to turn around to meet the enemy, and first drive out the extra horse to block it.

But how dare the uncontrolled horses stop the charging iris knights, and they fled in fright. The iris knights hit the cherry blossom knights like a thrown hammer.The formation of the Cherry Blossom Knights collapsed in an instant, where they still had the courage to face the enemy, they drove their horses and ran back.

Rao shouted: "Gather the horses and transfer. All the scout knights near the enemy are here. Follow them and find their main force."

"As ordered."

After the Iris Knights changed trains, they chased the Sakura Knights with two horses. Although it took a while to gather the horses, the Iris Soldiers with one person and two horses were much faster than the Sakura Infantry with one person and one horse. Little, chasing them tightly behind, the Sakura Knight kept waving his whip, without any scruples about the stamina of the horse.Just to stay away from the iris knight behind.
