Warlords: Rise From the Land of Doom

Chapter 412: panic evacuation

As the six counts hurriedly returned to the camp, many small nobles were still chatting, and many nobles went to the gentle villages of the caravans behind.

But when they received this emergency evacuation order, which didn't even require any supplies, all the little nobles turned pale with fright, and began to frantically gather men and then evacuate.

As for the nobles in the gentle township of the rear caravan, they can only let their own subordinates go forward to find them.

According to the cavalry of the Northern Principality, the distance is only ten miles. If they continue to approach the camp quietly, the remaining time will not exceed half an hour at most, so there is probably not much time left for these little nobles.

Regardless of whether all their vassals received the information or not, the counts conveyed the order as much as possible, and immediately rushed to join the king with a group of cavalry.

In order to prevent the army of the Northern Principality in the city from discovering the abnormality in advance, they also did not dare to light the torches when they converged.

More than ten minutes later, the king and several counts gathered a total of more than 8,000 elite cavalrymen ready to set off.

In this autumn expedition, the earls of each family have transferred half of the staff of their extraordinary knights as usual in previous years, and they have basically brought five or six hundred elite cavalry, including fifty or sixty extraordinary knights.

The same is true for the king. Although the Knights of the Iron Guards numbered 10,000 people, he also brought only more than 5,000 people, including more than 500 extraordinary knights.

Although the number may be less than half of the Northern Principality, they still have a slight advantage in this desperate situation, that is, the Northern Principality's cavalry does not know that they have been discovered, and the formation must not have unfolded.

In this way, if they attack unexpectedly, it is very likely that they can catch the enemy by surprise with a small number of troops, and then give the small vassals and ordinary guards a chance to escape.

"Set off!"

Seeing that the manpower was gathered, King Culver directly issued an order.

Immediately, the 8,000-strong cavalry team moved towards the northeast.

When the king set off with several earls, the camp of several earl families became more and more chaotic. The little nobles did not care about the formation at all. They carried enough rations to eat and drink for a period of time as ordered, and immediately took their subordinates to start. The swarms fled towards the south.

Because they couldn't make their way with torches, many teams lined up with each other in the chaos, and some of the guards were so dazed that they couldn't find their respective lords.

Fortunately, everyone's goal at this moment is the same, that is, the South.

As a result, three or four miles outside the city, people neighed and horses screamed, and 80,000 to 90,000 people ran wildly in the dark night as if they were fleeing from the desert.

To say that among the six earl teams, the one with the best situation must be the Tulip family.

Because they received the message more than 20 minutes in advance, they had already completed the assembly.

In this way, when Bernard was ordered to evacuate, he could immediately form a long line and run away.

"Huh? What's going on? Barnby, have you noticed that the Agate Principality's camp seems to be more noisy than before?" At the same time, Brock and Barnby, who had been waiting on the city wall for the distant Royal Knights to send an attack signal The Count sensed something was wrong.

Although the camp of the Agate Principality is far away, more than three miles away, some unusual movements can still be vaguely heard.

"No, have they discovered the situation? I heard a lot of horses screeching!" After Barnby heard the words, he also listened intently for a moment, and his expression changed immediately.

Because at this moment, there is a lot of war horse neighing in the noise in the distance. It stands to reason that it is impossible to have such a dense war horse neighing this night.

"Then what should we do? There is no signal from Your Majesty!" Suddenly, the two of them hesitated.

If it was as they guessed that the Onyx Principality was running away, then if they waited a little longer, there would be more guards of the Onyx Principality who might let go.

But what if this is a trap?

"Look, is that a fire?" At this moment, Earl Barnby suddenly found a raging fire behind the camp of the Agate Principality in the distance.

The raging fire burned very fast, from one or two places at the beginning, to a large area at the end.

From the top of their city, it looked like a bonfire was being lit everywhere.

Of course, after they knew that it was not a bonfire, but the effect of the tents in the Onyx Principality's camp being lit!

"That must be the signal from Her Royal Highness! Hurry up, Her Royal Highness is doing it! Let's set off immediately!" After discovering this situation, the two of them didn't hesitate any longer and quickly headed towards the bottom of the city wall.

"Quickly open the city gates, order the army, and attack the whole army!"

Woohoo!

Following the order of the two, the gate of Oak City slowly opened, and a group of guards who had long been lined up on the street poured out.

...

"Huh? Oak City is dispatched?"

"No, Your Majesty, the back of our camp seems to be on fire!"

The loud trumpet sound of Oak City spread for four or five miles, and immediately fell into the ears of Bernard and others.

At the same time, they also discovered the fire that reflected half of the sky behind the camp.

"And spies!" Several counts looked at each other and their hearts sank. It was obvious that the fire in the camp was released by the spies installed by the Northern Principality.

"Speed ​​up, prepare to charge!" King Culver's face was ugly, but he also had lingering fears.

If it weren't for Narant's bird communication, facing the traps so carefully arranged by the Northern Principality, I am afraid that their army of the Onyx Principality would really be wiped out here tonight.

Even if these big nobles can escape by chance, I am afraid that those small vassals and 80,000 to 90,000 ordinary guards will stay here forever.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Immediately, the Onyx Principality Cavalry Regiment, which had been keeping as quiet as possible, no longer concealed its movement and began to speed up its horses.

Because they can detect the movement on the other side of Oak City, the cavalry of the Northern Principality must also detect it.

Boom! Boom!

When they continued to move forward for more than a mile, the cavalry from both sides met unexpectedly.

"In this battle, we only need to disperse the enemy and give the army a chance to escape! So when we receive the clarion call for retreat, we must immediately converge and evacuate! Otherwise, if we are surrounded by the enemy forces in Oak City, I am afraid we will not be able to break through! "King Culver drew his sword.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Several earls responded.

"Okay, the army obeys the order, target the enemy cavalry regiment, and the whole army strikes!"

King Culver no longer delays ~www.readwn.com~ with a bang, he pulled out the long sword from his waist and gave the order directly.

Woohoo!

With the sound of the horn, the king and the six counts took the lead, with more than 8,000 cavalry in a triangular formation, charging towards the army of the Northern Principality.

Because they have no intention of calculating, so the cavalry regiment of the Northern Principality did not form the formation for the first time.

Although the king of the Northern Principality in the army also began to issue an order to disperse the army, but after all, there was no longer enough time, and the army of the Onyx Principality was fleeting, and soon reached a few hundred meters.

"Woooooo!"

Seeing that if the army is not ordered to charge, it will be crushed by the cavalry of the Agate Principality, and the Northern Principality has no choice but to sound the horn of the charge toward the half-formed formation.

"kill!"

Boom! Boom!

For a while, the cavalry from both sides collided like two torrents in this dark night, and the sound of fighting and the sound of horses running suddenly resounded through the heavens and the earth.
