Riding and Slashing

Chapter 83 How to save (third update, please subscribe)
Lehman was a little flustered, as if he didn't know whether to catch the head or not.

After hesitating, Rainier's head hit his shield, and fell to the ground again and rolled a few times.

"A traitor appeared in your Lion Knights, and you didn't even notice that he was lying in front of you! You almost let him go! Don't you think you should reflect on yourself! Deputy Captain Lehman!"

Li Ang's tone was not very good. This Wild Lion Knight almost made Rainier run away, and even let the Knights kill the fleeing bandits.Don't kill what should be killed, and kill what should not be killed blindly. He doesn't like this kind of double-standard behavior that only depends on whether he is a nobleman!

"Leiman... why haven't I asked you yet! What are you trying to do with the Lion Knights entering my territory?"

The lord's eyes were a little unfriendly.

Lehman gritted his teeth, looked at the head on the ground, then turned his eyes to Li Ang, frowned and sighed.

He is actually a reasonable man.

Li Ang drove away his horse with a sword hilt, and pointed out the problem he should have seen long ago, and mentioned his father-in-law, Earl Alden. Although his tone was very rude, there was obviously no hostility.

Therefore, Lehman honestly accepted Li Ang's accusation that the members of the Knights were treasonous, and he was indeed negligent.

"I originally led the team to Troubrun to suppress the heresy, and came to the rescue after seeing the beacon fire. Baron Leon, what's going on? Why are there so many bandits? Who is attacking White Hart Castle?"

According to the kingdom's decree, no knight order is allowed to step into the territory of other nobles without permission, unless it is the residence of the knight order.

Although the Lion Knights are the National Knights, they are also known as the Royal Knights, but they are no exception.

However, if it is due to military conditions, it is another matter.

Seeing that Lehman's appearance did not seem to be fake, Li Ang let out a long breath.

"Since this is the case, it seems to be a misunderstanding. I thought you were with Rainier... Sorry, Sir Lehman. The thing is like this..."

Li Ang whistled to call Alice, rode on the horse and walked to Leman, and began to tell the story.

"...Master Li Ang, you defeated thousands of people with dozens of people...this...is incredible!"

While speaking, the car formation at the entrance of the village had been removed, and Li Ang and Lehman entered Mai Xiangling side by side.

Lehman was indeed trying to exterminate heresy before, and it was the cicada-like human skin that Li Ang saw in Lion City before that triggered the operation of the Lion Knights.

The Knights of the Lions have been chasing it down and got information that this kind of human skin was also found near Seren Meath and Trubrun.

But then the Lion Knights fought with King Ulrik and didn't have time to deal with it.

After the king retreated, Lehman led some lion knights to continue the search, searching village by village.

For the sake of search efficiency, he brought a total of sixty lion knights, plus the knights' retinue, the team was almost 200 people.

When he arrived at Trubrun, he found that almost the whole village had been killed, and the village had been wiped out by bandits.

In this situation, it is natural to search everywhere. Lehman quickly found traces of the gangsters on the west side of Truble, so he searched all the way west—that was when he was beaten in the process of chasing and killing Li Sadilan. Injured or stragglers.

Afterwards, Lehman encountered the mob who had been fooled into 'retreating' by Li Ang.

Naturally, the lion knights would not be polite, and they were killed in a wave of charge-those bandits were already 'retreating' and had no fighting spirit.

After defeating them, Lehman saw the beacon fire above Mai Xiangling.

As the deputy head of the Lion Knights, Lehman naturally had a sense of responsibility. He immediately rushed over with nearly [-] Lion Knights under his command.

And then, on the way to Maixiangling, Lehman saw a beacon in the sky above White Hart Castle.

Now Lehman naturally understood that both Mai Xiangling and White Hart Castle had encountered enemies.

So he sent people to notify the garrisons in Changhe Town and Qicha Fortress, and then rushed to Maixiangling as quickly as possible to rescue them. On the way, they happened to run into the fleeing bandits.

In fact, Lehman didn't mean to kill these bandits—when he first saw these rout soldiers, he thought they were charging towards the Lion Knights, so there was a wave of counter-charging.

But I didn't expect that it was Li Ang who used a small amount of troops to cause such a result...

After listening to Li Ang's narration, Lehman was no longer angry, but was replaced by shock and worry.

Shocked by Li Ang's weird tactics, anxious about the crisis of White Hart Castle.

There are thousands of people attacking Mai Xiangling, so the White Hart Castle is obviously the army of the Bacchus Empire.

Although the bandits who attacked Mai Xiangling were defeated, with Mai Xiangling's strength, it might be difficult to save White Hart Castle.

If White Hart Castle is captured, it is absolutely impossible for Mai Xiangling to stop the army of the Bacchus Empire, and it is even possible that the entire Changhe Town will fall.

"So, Rainier's attack on your Maixiang collar should be to block reinforcements and ensure that the Bacchus Empire can capture White Hart Castle."

Looking at the map, Lehman also understood the current situation - if the enemy controlled Maixiangling, then the rest of the kingdom would not be able to detect the attack on White Hart Castle, and would be able to intercept White Hart Castle's messenger for help.

Only near Maixiangling can you see the beacon fire of White Hart Castle.

"That's why I have to kill him. Sir Lehman, if your knights don't kill the fleeing bandits, we can still use them to lure the Bacchus Empire to fall for you..."

"Of course, I'm not blaming you. I'm very grateful that you came to rescue Mai Xiangling. It's just that, now, we have to find another way."

Li Ang also looked at the map, frowning and said.

"Before I came, I had sent people to various places to ask for help, but every time I went back and forth, even if the nearest Changhe Town garrison marched at full speed, it would take at least three days to arrive... I don't know if White Hart Castle can hold it. "

Perhaps out of a sense of responsibility, Lehman seems to be quite active in rescuing Godric's White Hart Castle, even more active than Leon.

"Anson, are there any refugees from White Hart Castle?"

Li Ang took the map and walked to the west of the village, asking questions as he walked.

Anson shook his head: "No, no one came over there all the time."

The lord began to instruct An Sen: "As you heard, it will take at least three days for the reinforcements to arrive. Then, during these two days, extinguish the beacon fire of Mai Xiangling, and light it again in the morning of the third day."

"Understood, my lord."

Anson was honest most of the time.

Just because he is honest, he will firmly implement this kind of affairs that need time to control, and will not make his own decisions.

Li Ang turned to look at Lehman: "White Hart Castle is probably surrounded by Bacchus' army. But the enemy hasn't had time to come here to spy, and they probably don't know the situation on our side...then , we may be able to buy time for White Hart Castle."

Lehman scratched his head: "As long as White Hart Castle can hold out for more than three days, reinforcements will come in a steady stream, but with our small force...how do we buy time?"

"You have two hundred elite cavalry in your hand, at least enough to clean up the scouts... Sir Lehman, you don't mind leading the knights to intercept the enemy squad coming from White Hart Castle, right?"

Li Ang stood at the entrance of the village to the west of Mai Xiangling, pointing to the road leading to White Hart Castle.

"Of course it's no problem. Look at your arrangement. You don't want the enemy to know the situation here? But this won't solve the crisis in White Hart Castle..."

Lehman looked at the road leading to White Hart Castle in a daze.

In the section near Maixiangling, the road surface has been repaired by Eric and John, and it has become flat and wide, which is very suitable for cavalry combat.

Li Ang shook his head: "No, on the contrary, I want the enemy to know clearly that Mai Xiangling has been captured by 'Rainier'!"

"what?"

Li Ang stared at Lehman with piercing eyes: "Lend me a few of the best subordinates, and I can delay the time."
