Happy people from Blue Star

Chapter 80 The Knights Are Surrounded
When Hardy's army came to the military thoroughfare in the west city, they saw the gate closed tightly.

With the arrival of the army, the soldiers on the city wall seemed very nervous.

Hardy waved.

Rogge next to him immediately understood what Hardy meant, and stepped forward and shouted: "This is Lord Hardy, the Viscount of Jeanne's family. We need to leave the city, why don't we open the city gate."

After the guards above panicked for a while, a young man finally came out and shouted: "The king has an order, there are important things to deal with today, and the army cannot leave the city."

Hearing this, Hardy knew that things had developed as he expected.

Although there are not many troops stationed here, it would take a lot of time to attack by force, and there would be great battle damage.

He didn't talk nonsense at the moment, turned around and said, "Half of the scout team will follow me...Rogge."

"exist."

"You take the others back to Janna Manor." Hardy looked into the distance and said quickly: "Remember, after returning to the manor, you only follow Madam Sissy's orders, and no one else can command you, understand? ?”

Rogge knelt down on one knee, his eyes were determined: "Yes!"

Hardy immediately rode his horse and left from the main city gate.

The main city gate is used for ordinary entry and exit. The gate is not wide open, and only two people can pass side by side at a time, because it is not suitable for large troops to travel.

But Hardy ran over on more than a dozen horses, and the civilians near the city gate immediately stepped aside when they saw it.

But there are caravan carriages blocking the inner road of the city gate when entering and leaving the city.

They can jump in line, but it is impossible for the caravan carriages that have entered the inner road of the city gate to back up, so they can only follow slowly.

The guards didn't stop them either, and allowed them to pass through the narrow city gate and go outside.

More than a dozen people passed with more than a dozen horses, and it took two to three minutes for all of them to get out even though they had already jumped in line.

If it is a big army going out, plus the logistics food team, it is impossible to go out from the main city gate in half a day.

Therefore, the old king did not forbid them to leave the city through the main gate.

He even hoped that the troops of the Ranna family would leave the city in small groups like this.

This will make it easier for them to defeat them one by one.

But Hardy only brought a dozen scouts out, and there was no such large-scale expedition.

After leaving the city, Hardy immediately led the scouts to a high ground.

The terrain here is not vast, not suitable for a large army to station, but the height is high enough, very suitable for reconnaissance.

Looking down from the high ground, you can see the surrounding situation much more clearly.

On the strategic high ground near the forest farm, the flag of the lion is flying.

"It's really withdrawn." Riding on the horse, Hardy shook his head helplessly.

Although the members of the Rangna family have good personalities, they really don't have a good strategic vision and political sense.

Thinking about it now, they can survive for a few years without completely falling down, which is pretty impressive.

Then he looked around and saw four armies stationed near the Silver Wing Knights in the distance.

If you look closely, the largest infantry regiment is the Royal Guards, followed by two medium-sized infantry regiments with the banner of a lion, and a medium-sized infantry regiment with a double-headed dragon banner.

"The four infantry regiments of the enemy add up to more than 3000 people." Hardy looked at the garrison of the Silver Wing Knights, frowned and said: "The Silver Wing Knights plus Victor's infantry regiment should have about a thousand troops. But It's strange why the knights didn't fight before, allowing the infantry to surround them so 'closely'."

The cavalry regiment needs a certain distance to launch a charge attack.

The light cavalry is better, and within 50 meters they can speed up to the point where they can hit the enemy's formation.

But the heavy cavalry has at least 100 meters.

The Silver Wing Knights are all heavy cavalry.

But now, the four enemy infantry regiments have all been suppressed to a range of about 80 meters.

It can be seen that the battle between the two sides is imminent.

However, the distance between the four infantry regiments was quite far, and they spread out to garrison, presumably to prevent the knights from escaping.

"I just took office, so give me such a big 'test'." Hardy sighed uncomfortably, turned his head and said to the cavalry: "You and I rushed in through the gap between the four infantry regiments. No matter what happens, you can't hesitate, and you can't be distracted, understand?"

More than a dozen scouts nodded repeatedly.

If Hardy said to let them rush in by themselves, they would probably be reluctant.

But when Hardy took the lead and rushed in, the situation was different.

This is the difference between 'you charge me' and 'charge me'.

Hardy raised his whip and rushed down to the high ground first. He tried his best to cover his figure by the edge of the woods on the roadside, and then galloped between the Royal Guards and an infantry regiment sent by the Lions.

No one stands in their way.

It was too late to stop it.

Peter Clovis saw Hardy's figure passing by on the simple observation deck of his barracks, and even smiled triumphantly: "I'm just waiting for you to go in."

When Hardy and the others were about [-] meters away from the base of the Silver Wing Knights, they asked the scouts to unfurl the banner of the angel statue of Jeanna's house.

The door of the Knights quickly opened.

Hardy rushed in with the scouts, and the soldiers quickly closed the door again.

I'm afraid that if it's a second late, an enemy will rush in.

As soon as they entered the garrison, they saw the school field in the center of the barracks, full of dead and wounded.

The wounded were wailing lowly, and several chaplains accompanying the army were trying their best to rescue the seriously injured.

But manpower is obviously not enough.

The air was filled with the smell of blood.

The surrounding soldiers all had uneasy eyes.

Hardy's heart tightened, and his morale seemed low.

At this time, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a corporal leader came out of the tent. When he saw Hardy, he immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Your Excellency Hardy, it's you, that's great."

Hardy went up to him and asked, "How could the casualties be so serious? Where are the two Your Excellencies Dora and Victor?"

"They're all in the coach's tent." The corporal's face was gloomy: "Both your excellencies were injured, and Mr. Dora is still awake."

Hardy walked quickly into the tent and saw that Viktor's head and hands were bandaged.

His eyes were blank and his head was downcast.

On the other side, two priests were working together to treat Dora's wound while lying down.

Hardy walked over to take a look, and found that there was a deep flat diamond-shaped wound in the middle of Dora's chest.

Blood was still pouring out slowly.

The shape is too small, it should be the stab wound of a short sword or dagger.

Hardy asked: "How is the situation of Your Excellency Dora?"

One of the pastors looked up and replied, "My life is saved, and the wound can stop bleeding, but it will take at least two or three days to wake up. He lost too much blood."

Hardy turned his head to look at another man from Jeanne's family, and asked, "Your Excellency Victor, what happened, why did your infantry regiment suffer such a huge loss?"

Those lying on the ground were all leather infantry.

The soldiers in the knight order, except for the logistics troops, the rest of the knights are all in white armor, which is easy to distinguish.

"Father came to the high ground with a dozen cavalrymen and told me to go down the mountain and let the soldiers rest for a while." Victor's face was full of shame: "But I didn't expect that we would be ambushed after we came down... Then the soldiers in my personal guard A spy, murdered father."
