Riding and Slashing

Chapter 90

Amy, who has been observing on White Hart Castle, has naturally seen this situation - most of the enemy troops have withdrawn, only a small half of the enemies outside are left, and the remaining enemy troops seem to have internal strife.

Thousands of people formed a group, and their swords seemed to be directed at the dozens of people in the middle, while the small team in the middle was slowly approaching White Hart Castle.

This situation is obviously not for siege...

Approaching about 200 meters away from White Hart Castle, one of the small team picked up a spear left over from the battlefield, took out a flag from his body and put it on the spear.

White griffin flag on black background.

That is Master Li Ang from Mai Xiangling.

Great joy surged in Amy's heart, and the goddess actually responded to her!

However, just as the flag was displayed, the gap that the Bacchus army originally let out was blocked again.

The one blocking the road is General Agathon.

"Let's go, let's go, everyone, don't surround yourself... If you go any further, White Hart Castle will shoot arrows..."

The lord reminded Agathon and his men very kindly, with a concerned tone and a gentle attitude, and even a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency entered the camp of our army alone to take risks. This courage is admirable... May I ask who are you?"

General Agathon asked seriously, and carefully looked at Li Ang's face, as if intending to keep this person's appearance in his heart.

"General Agathon, my name is not important... What is important is, what are you going to do? Continue to siege the city?"

Li Ang's heart skipped a beat, and he drew his sword. He thought the general was going to take a risk.

"No, Your Excellency will definitely become the great enemy of the empire, I just want to remember your name... besides..."

Ajiasong spread his hands to indicate that he was not malicious, and looked at the two governors who were somewhat embarrassed by the strong men driving their feet off the ground.

"Remember, my name is Li Ang. When you all retreat, I will naturally release the two governors."

The lord took back the sword and said very seriously.

Agathon carefully looked at the griffin flag: "I hope you keep your word! Everyone back off!"

He led the team back to Justus' camp.

The rest of the imperial army retreated with him.

Li Ang waited until they all retreated to the camp hundreds of meters away before continuing to approach White Hart Castle.

A soldier on the city wall put down two hanging baskets: "My lord! The city gate is blocked... Come up on the hanging basket!"

This is Amy's voice.

"Master Li Ang, I don't know how to thank you..."

Amy's voice was very cheerful, her face was flushed with excitement, and she dragged Li Ang out of the hanging basket in a hurry.

"Just don't ask me to buy food at a high price..."

Li Ang smiled, and a casual sentence made Amy blush even more.

"My lord, they still don't seem to have left..." Klose was the last one to be hanged up. He looked back at the camp of the Bacchus Empire, feeling a little uneasy.

"The ones who wanted to leave had already withdrawn early in the morning. These two generals will only obey the orders of Emperor Marius. They will definitely not leave before their emperor or marshal orders to withdraw... These are two wise men with principles , is also the most troublesome enemy... They may be playing with Mai Xiangling's idea."

Li Ang didn't expect Klose to understand, he said it to Amy.

"Amy, send someone out of the city, unfurl Godric's banner, and send them two barrels of wine, specifically for General Agathon."

"Ah? Why?" Klose didn't understand, why did he send wine to the enemy?
Amy tilted her head and thought about it, but then she laughed: "Master Li Ang, it's really special to force the enemy back in this way..."

Li Ang looked at Amy carefully in surprise. He didn't expect this little girl to be both beautiful and intelligent. She was truly the darling of the heavens. No wonder Godric dared to hand over the White Hart Castle to her after Godric left. .

Not long after, a few brave archers held Godric's Three Lions banner and sent two barrels of ale to Agathon's camp.

And just a few minutes later, General Agathon ordered the camp to retreat.

Before retreating, he took a deep look at White Hart Castle, gritted his teeth and smashed the wine barrel outside White Hart Castle in full view of everyone.

"Your Excellency Li Ang! Such a conspiracy cannot be called a hero!"

Agathon's cry could be heard even on the walls of White Hartkeep.

Li Ang shook his head, seeing the enemy's retreat, he didn't show any joy on his face: "This Agason is really a big trouble..."

He asked Amy to send wine to Agathon, in fact, he was providing a handle for General Kryon or other Bacchus lords...

The failure to capture White Hart Castle and the kidnapping of two governors must be responsible for this. In fact, all the present lords of the Bacchus Empire will bear some responsibility.

And the two governors who can command have already evacuated obediently first, and those who stay are naturally the political enemies of the two governors, or at least they are not from the same faction.

Agason and Li Ang had a lot of conversations, so the lord created a suspicion that "Agason may be collaborating with the enemy", gave the other lords a chance to be exonerated, and also gave the two governors a chance...

Because Agathon is very suitable to take the blame, regardless of his status or political inclination - the two governors will be released sooner or later, and after they return, will they use these two barrels of wine to play a role in the future? Is the blame blamed on Agathon?
In order to reduce their responsibilities, even if everyone knew that Agathon would not be able to cooperate with the enemy, they would still do so...

This is the normal state of political struggle.

There is no right or wrong, only interests.

So Agathon had to make a statement - smash the barrel and retreat immediately, otherwise there would be more "gifts" sent to his camp, and now he didn't dare to attack the city alone.

Soon, the city was empty.

The enemy probably won't retreat too far, they will probably camp and wait dozens of miles away, but at least, they will not attack until their Marshal Governor Kailos receives the news and sends back the military order.

And Kairos went to Seren Meath—even if Kairos, the old-fashioned conservative of the old empire, was ruthless and disregarded his colleagues, when the news spread and the military order came back, it would probably take a week.

At that time, the reinforcements from White Hart Castle had also arrived.

It's just to prevent the enemy from looting Maixiangling during this time-this is another intention for Lehman to guard the road of Maixiangling.

Before the kidnapping is successful, the enemy cannot find out about Mai Xiangling, otherwise Justus will not be able to be trusted, and the kidnapping will not be successful.

After the kidnapping is successful, the enemy will know that Mai Xiangling is in Li Ang's hands, so be prepared for the enemy to quickly attack Mai Xiangling with a small force-because this may cause the enemy to exchange Mai Xiangling for the two governors.

In fact, this is the reason why Agathon asked Li Ang's name at the end. He must have thought of it, so he stayed in the camp and did not leave.However, Li Ang exchanged two barrels of wine for a little time and space again.

"Amy, the war is not over yet, and we still have to take precautions every day—especially to keep an eye on the governor, so that no one will run away. There are many secret spies in the Bacchus Empire, so don't let anyone enter the city."

Li Ang instructed seriously.

Amy nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yeah, I'll keep an eye on him."

"Well, I have to go back to Maixiang. Don't worry, reinforcements will come soon. It is impossible for them to capture White Hart Castle."

Li Ang also nodded, got up and left.

"Wait, Master Li Ang, are you willing to be my teacher?"

After Li Ang stood in the hanging basket, Amy leaned on the city wall and poked her head out, her eyes seemed to be looking forward to it.
