Riding and Slashing

Chapter 88

Li Ang sat calmly in the corner of the military tent, looked at Justus who was sandwiched between two hunks from Mettenheim, and said that he still planned to strike at the entrance of the military tent.

Indeed, Justus had not let his men participate in the attack all day, and his men were already very disturbed.

It's not that I'm suspicious, but mainly because I feel uncomfortable - the whole army is attacking the city, and they are just standing in line to watch the show, which is very embarrassing.

Even going out for paddling and fishing is better than standing still...

After Justus came back, they originally wanted to express their opinions, but they were ordered not to approach the military tent, so as not to disturb the governor's discussion of state affairs with His Excellency Rainier...

So they were probably supportive of another governor coming to scold people-when they saw Levius coming here in a rage, they didn't even come to report.

It wasn't because they wanted to change jobs, but mainly because they didn't want to be beaten-Levius came over with a bruised face and a whip in his hand.

Governor Levius had brought some entourage behind him, but these people winked at the knights on Justus' side, and then the subordinates of the two governors got together, and neither of them approached the military tent.

The guards on both sides are obviously quite sensible, and no one wants to get involved in the quarrel between the two governors...

"Justus! You bastard! You didn't join the battle? Isn't that what you do to preserve your strength?!"

Before entering the military tent, the scolding had already arrived.

Governor Levius appears to be quite grumpy.

"It looks like it's going to be captured today... huh?"

Levius broke into the military tent with his knuckles, saw Justus sitting in the middle, and just started to accuse, then suddenly stopped.

The whip in his hand fell to the ground.

Because, two big swords had clamped his neck.

Well, clip.

Because the word 'frame' is not enough to express this scene - the lord brought Klose and the others into the military tent. Right now, this huge luxury tent is full of sturdy men, all of whom are staring at Leigh covetously. Views.

The hunks lifted him carelessly, leaving his feet off the ground.

Two large swords clamped his bald head like scissors.

Levius is a thin middle-aged man in his 40s. I don’t know if it’s because the married life is not harmonious. Anyway, at this age, the top of his head is already bald, and only the temples are still a little messy. hair.

This makes him look fierce and vicissitudes...

After being clamped between the two big swords, he didn't dare to move at all, only his eyeballs were rolling around.

"Now, you probably don't plan to attack the city... Don't tell me, the two of you together can't command those little lords!"

Li Ang sat beside him, shaving his nails with a small knife in his hand.

Glancing at the two governors who could only make eye contact, Li Ang grinned and showed his white teeth: "Don't worry... I have to go back alive, so I won't hurt you—as long as you retreat."

……

White Hart Castle finally survived the day.

But tomorrow... will there be such good luck?
Amy thought.

Just this afternoon, she shot a living enemy for the first time—the first time she had killed herself.

She watched as the crossbow shot out of her hand and hit an imperial gladiator in the neck, causing the enemy to fall backwards to the city.

Amy didn't feel uncomfortable, she was just doing her duty, or saving herself.

Although until now her heart is still beating like a drum.

In fact, when the imperial gladiators climbed the city wall, Amy was ready to set fire to the city-she didn't want to fall into the hands of the enemy.

Although Amy is young, she knows what will happen to a young and beautiful girl after she becomes a prisoner of war...

Even the daughter of a nobleman...

In other words, because she is the daughter of a nobleman, the result may be more unacceptable than death.

But at the moment when the second city wall was about to fall, horns sounded in the forest!
The horn calls to the Rangers! The sound of the horn!
The moment she heard the sound of the horn, Amy gave an order almost trembling all over her body: "Counterattack! Drive them all down!"

But after the enemy retreated, no reinforcements appeared in the forest...

Amy was not disappointed. She knew that the sound of the horn that lasted for more than ten minutes was originally a kind of reinforcement.

This kind of deception reminded her of a person—the young lord who asked his father to serve as the 'executive director' and used the gold mine as a bait to deceive all the nobles in the entire eastern region of a large sum of money.

Last time, not long after my father claimed to be an 'executive director', he shipped two large boxes of dinars back to White Hart Castle, and was as happy as a child—the father said that he finally saved Amy's dowry, and he could Replaced the subordinates with better equipment.

Afterwards, that person founded the 'Maixiang International Group' and led the merchants to the battlefield...

That was the first time Amy saw this kind of operation, and it opened the door to a new world for her—it turned out that after the first start-up capital, business activities can be so fancy!

Even war can be a means of doing business?

Then, after sending someone to Mai Xiangling to 'investigate', Amy understood.

The lord of Mai Xiangling actually lied to everyone. His business and his group companies are all means to control people's hearts.

He used his interests to firmly bind his subordinates, subjects, allies, and businessmen in his hands.

The newly-built Maixianglings, those Ailedaige citizens brought over from White Hart Castle, or those refugees who were brought back from the wild, became extremely loyal because of their shares in just two or three months. And take pride in being the leader of Maixiangling.

This is something that the vast majority of nobles in the Lion Kingdom will never be able to do...

Therefore, Amy also learned, opened a grain and oil company, and even tentatively attacked Mai Xiangling—forced Mai Xiangling to buy grain at a high price.

She thought that the lord would have some countermeasures so that she could learn more, but she didn't expect that he not only accepted it calmly, but also paid the money happily.

This made Amy a little uneasy, and she felt that she should apologize-he was her father's ally and partner, and she shouldn't use such a small trick on her ally.

But in today's war, the sound of the horn was mostly made by that lord, and most people would definitely not use this seemingly ridiculous trick on the battlefield.

It can only be the people he sent - only the people from Mai Xiangling can rush to White Hart Castle so quickly.

Deception should be used like this... Everyone in White Hart Castle knew that the moment they heard the sound of the horn, their morale became like a rainbow almost instantly.

And the enemy immediately retreated to the city.

If I can hold White Hartkeep, I must thank him...and apologize.

But his Mai Xiangling, there was no smoke yesterday, judging by the strength of Mai Xiangling's troops... I'm afraid there will be more bad luck...

In today's battle alone, White Hart Castle lost 150 brave soldiers.

Amy counted well.

The loss of the Bacchus Empire was at least three times that amount.

This is war...

Father Godric never allowed himself to participate in wars. He always said that "girls do need to practice martial arts for self-defense, but war is always a man's business."

But as the daughter of the lord of White Hart Castle, Amy knew many young knights, and those knights often described the war to her.

But the real war is completely different from the romantic stories those knights usually tell.

There is no one-on-one duel between warriors, no heroic dialogue, and no sympathy between knights...

There are only killings, blood, sword light, arrow rain, and countless corpses.

The warrior who played the trumpet in the afternoon may have also...

Amy walked up the tower again in the dark, overlooking the enemy camp a mile away.

and many more……

Amy rubbed her eyes and looked carefully again.

The enemy seems to be retreating?

what happened?

The enemy seemed to be retreating overnight - the Bacchus Empire troops that had surrounded White Hart Castle were slowly retreating to the distance, and they even started tearing down the tents!
"Come on! Everyone is on standby! Prepare to counterattack!"

Amy trembled all over, she didn't know what happened, but it was obvious that the enemy didn't plan to besiege the city anymore!
