I really can't control myself.

Chapter 865 Ambush

In the morning of this day, the rising sun was particularly strong, and the red sunlight shone on the Heihe River, as if dyeing the whole river red.However, such a somewhat weird scenery did not attract the attention of a group of soldiers by the Black River. This is a huge army. The regular legion of the Yetis Empire is different from those conscripts. The soldiers of these legions all wear uniform uniforms. The armor, just looking at it, feels extremely elite.

The troops of the Yetis Empire didn't have time to enjoy the sunrise, mainly because most of them were a little tired.Yes, after entering the territory of the Holy Empire of Elan, they didn't set up camp or anything like that. They just repaired on the spot a few times and spent most of their time marching. It had been a day and a night. Of course, the soldiers were very tired.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of march is relatively dangerous, but this time the situation is different. The leading marshal doesn't have to think about whether it is dangerous or not. What he cares about is to meet the prince as soon as possible. As for the rest, it's over there Just go to town and rest.

At this time, the troops had reached the Russell Bridge, which was the largest bridge on the Heihe River mentioned earlier.Of course, anyone with a little experience in leading troops knows that crossing a river is a very dangerous thing, even if there is a bridge on it, the formation cannot be formed at all in this place, and if it is really attacked by the enemy, it will be a big disaster.Under normal circumstances, the marshal of the Yetis Empire would definitely be more cautious, but this time, the marshal just waved his hand and told the soldiers to rush over in batches.

Yes, how could they be vigilant? Although the soldiers below didn't know it, the senior officers knew very well that they sent troops this time to help Thomas Heihe seize the throne, but this Thomas Heihe was actually them Prince Marcus.

Now the whole northern land is basically supported by their prince Marcus, and the prince's cronies have also informed them that the Mercedes road city is ready, and now we are waiting for you to come and set off. Then of course he rushed over with his troops in a hurry, so don't ruin the empire's plan.

The marshal was so reassured that he didn't even send a reconnaissance force to scout ahead, because there was no need for it at all, and Mercedes Road City was ahead, you said it was attacked?Attacked by whom?Their prince?You should come up with a reason why their prince attacked his own troops.

In short, the Yetis Empire quickly began to cross the bridge in batches. After all, the carrying capacity of the bridge is still limited, and a large group of people might collapse in the past.The troops who crossed the bridge first formed a team in place, and waited for all the people behind to cross the bridge before setting off.And because these soldiers had been marching for a day and a night, they were of course very tired. Most of them sat on the ground to rest during the entire team, and the non-commissioned officers did not stop these people, because they also knew that there was no danger.

But the danger is coming.Suddenly there was a rush of drumming in the calm river valley, and with the drumming came arrows like rainstorms.

The sudden situation made the soldiers of the Yetis Empire completely unresponsive. Of course, all the generals were also in a daze, ambushed?But who is the problem?This is impossible.

At this time, a large number of soldiers were even sitting on the ground, without armor, and the weather was very hot. Some of them took off their armor and rested there, and no one stopped them. As a result, a round of arrows rained down, and many soldiers directly was nailed to the ground.

"Enemy...enemy attack!"

"What? Enemy attack?"

"How is this possible? What's the situation?" In an instant, the troops of the Yetis Empire were in chaos. This was too sudden. Although they are now in the territory of the empire, most of the soldiers also felt that they should not be affected by it now. Assault, you didn't see how relaxed those sergeants were, so... why were they ambushed?

The troops in front here are still being attacked, but the rear suddenly burst into flames and I don't know why.Yes, the Russell Bridge in the middle of the troops suddenly caught fire, which of course was arranged by Linton and the others.They arrived here last night, and they had one night of preparation time, so of course they were very well prepared.

The Russell Bridge is a bridge made of half wood and half stone. It is very sturdy, but after all, there is a wooden structure in the middle.So Linton and the others also poured kerosene on the pier, and then ignited it with magic props.Of course, because there was really a lot of oil spilled, in fact, if the other party was a little bit defensive, they could smell it, but the other party was not prepared at all, and had never investigated at all.

At this time, most of the Yetis Empire's troops had crossed the river, and a small half was in the rear, including most of their supply troops. The bridge here was on fire, and the troops were directly cut in half. The army was completely divided, and it became even more chaotic all of a sudden.

Finally at this time the marshal on the opposite side came back to his senses. He still doesn't know what kind of troops attacked them. Although there are still some nobles in the northern land who have not been summoned by their princes, those nobles will bring a few An army of a hundred men, do you think they might come to attack an army of 10 men?

It's not clear who the enemy is, but the marshal hurried to deal with it first.At this time, there are still many people in the chaotic army who want to retreat. How can it be possible to retreat? The bridge behind is on fire. Didn’t you jump into the river by yourself when you ran backward?So the marshal also directly shouted: "The troops that have crossed the river go forward and rush out of the river valley."

The troops behind who have not crossed the bridge can't be controlled for the time being, let them figure out their own way and cross the river later, the front team can be controlled now.Hearing the marshal's order, the surrounding generals immediately came back to their senses and began to issue orders to the surrounding soldiers.

At this time, a lot of soldiers had fallen on the ground, all of them were shot to death by bows and arrows, and the enemies were all high up and hidden, and it was hard to see how many people there were.To be honest, the Yetis Empire's army is worthy of being a regular army. Under the constant control of the non-commissioned officers, such a chaotic situation was immediately brought under control. Some soldiers began to raise their shields to resist the surrounding bows and arrows, and cover the troops to move forward. Soon, there were a lot of screams on both sides of the valley ahead, and then two troops, one left and one right, attacked the Yetis Empire troops.

There is a river in the back, obviously there is nowhere to run, the only way out is to go forward.This army obviously wanted to block them, and the marshal of the Yetis Empire also thought of it.Seeing the number of enemy troops, the marshal only felt a headache. Where did so many troops come from?But now is not the time to talk about this. The troops on both sides are really engaged in battle. The front troops start to line up and fight, and the bow and arrow troops ambushing on the opposite side also start to target the troops behind them.

Although there are many troops in the Yetis Empire, as I said before, there is no way to form a formation in this place. Everyone is crowded into a line. Only the people in front can fight the enemy, and the people behind can't go up at all. Bow and arrow.There are at least [-] to [-] troops crossing the river now, but the superiority in numbers is not reflected at all, and they are still being suppressed and beaten by the opponent.

"Array! Array! Counterattack! Counterattack!" The non-commissioned officers of the Yetis Empire almost broke their throats, but the effect was still there. The chaotic soldiers gradually found their positions amidst the shouts of these non-commissioned officers. It was very effective, but the initial panic was slowly passing. After a group of people died, the troops of the Yetis Empire seemed to gradually stabilize.

The main reason why they were able to stabilize slowly was naturally that they were elite enough, because they were regular legions, professional soldiers, well-trained, and this legion had also fought various tough battles.The Yetis Empire sent them here to actually target the First Legion of the Holy Empire of Elan, in order to deal with them, because in order to help Prince Marcus ascend to the throne, they had to attack the Imperial Capital, and the First Legion was guarding the vicinity of the Imperial Capital.

On the other hand, Linton's troops are all conscripts, some of them are farmers, soldiers and rebels. Yes, the conscripts are still a little combat power. All of them have been on the battlefield, and the rebels are really peasants, not even soldiers.Although they created a very perfect timing, but what about the combat effectiveness...

The besieged troops were unable to compress the opposing battle formation for a long time. Although they were still facing the opponent, they couldn't push the opponent back.As for other bow and arrow troops, some soldiers couldn't shoot the enemy even in this situation, and there were even peasants who couldn't draw their bows. It would be a waste of arrows for them to attack.

Speaking of arrows, there is also a problem, that is, they don't have so many arrows prepared. After all, there are too many enemies, and it is impossible to shoot them all directly.And because it is a regular army, the enemy's equipment is extremely sophisticated, with full armor and high effective protection. Calculating the number of arrows alone is not enough.

Looking at the situation, Linton probably knew the result.Of course, if it is true, Linton has many other better ways, but...it is not necessary at all, and he is not the real Thomas Heihe, and he can't get too involved in the drama.

Throughout the battle, Linton didn't command at all, and let them perform well by themselves. Then what is Linton doing? He is commanding a group of people to pile up stones, and then use black paint to draw pictures on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the situation seems to be favorable to us." At this time, a nobleman looked at the battle situation below and said happily when he saw so many people fell on the opposite side.

Linton was a little speechless. Is this beneficial?It is estimated that the opponent will start to counterattack soon, after all, they are starting to gain a firm foothold.Of course he didn't speak.

"Your Majesty, what is this?" Although Linton did not get an answer, the nobleman continued to talk, probably wanting to get acquainted with the emperor Linton.

"Reinforcements." Linton said lightly, "Leaving evidence."
