The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 631 Escape
After losing more than 500 elite soldiers led by Queen Aisona, Zhang Qiang's force was left with more than 6000 troops, 1000 elite soldiers, more than [-] logistics supplies, and chariot troops.

In the forest, it was obvious that the troops that Zhang Qiang relied on could not play a big role. In the dense forest, many crossbow arrows would be blocked by tree crowns and trunks, wasting firepower in vain.

And Zhang Qiang knew that King Harlaus still had at least 4000 soldiers. Even if they were not all elite, there were more than [-] low-level soldiers who could be used to consume, and it would be difficult to resist.

Zhang Qiang was very annoyed. He should not have retreated into the forest, but should have fought King Harolds directly. In this way, there might not be many people left on both sides, but he would definitely be able to escape and return to Dherim City. Bring in [-] troops and [-] militiamen to fight the enemy again.

Those who asked for help had already been sent out, and they were sent out as soon as they came into contact with the enemy. It was late at night and no one had reported back. This made Zhang Qiang wait very anxiously. Maybe there were other unfavorable things happening outside. .

Zhang Qiang had no choice but to send out Manid who had already returned. As a businessman who is good at business and stealing, Manid still has some experience in reconnaissance and tracking.

In the early morning and late at night, Manid was covered in muddy water, with a few eucalyptus leaves stained on his hair, and his coarse linen clothes were soaked. The heavy rain had stopped, but the tree crowns in the forest were of different heights, and there were still expensive trees. The amount of water, walking through the jungle will inevitably get wet, and the sweat is stained with rain, which is obviously uncomfortable.

Zhang Qiang walked over quickly, helped him take off his wet clothes, and gave him his dried clothes, asking eagerly, "How is the situation in the forest? Are there any enemies?"

Manid took a breath and drank a glass of warm malt wine, that kind of bad taste, low-alcoholic low-quality malt wine, like a heated drink, poor people prefer it, but as a nobleman, a little richer People like him would not like it, but Zhang Qiang couldn't ask the logistics troops to bring more good wine when he was surrounded by the enemy.

In the past, when there was a team of merchants accompanying the army, those people would definitely bring a large amount of malt wine and quite a lot of Veluga wine to supply a large number of soldiers and nobles above knight nobles to drink.

But now Zhang Qiang's military reform has replaced those accompanying merchants who can reveal their marching secrets at any time, who may hide dirt, and plan to kill their own soldiers or nobles secretly, with logistics troops trained and trained by themselves. The logistical supplies needed, not those living supplies.

"We found some traces, which looked like traces of a large enemy army marching. The trees were cut down and the grass was trampled. On the bank of the forest creek, we found many messy footprints. It is preliminarily estimated that the enemy may have There are more than 3000 people.

We don't know where they went, there are creeks and cliffs in many places, and we don't dare to get too close because of the enemy's rearguard, but I swear, their general direction should be here, maybe about five or five of us now. We lay in ambush at Liulidi, waiting for tomorrow's dawn or when we are fighting the enemy head-on, we will run out and attack our rearguard. "

At this moment, a soldier stumbled in and rushed in, "My lord, Queen Aesona fought with the enemy at the edge of the forest. The enemy has about 2000 people, all elite. The queen ordered me to come back and ask for help."

Zhang Qiang grabbed his shoulder, looked into his eyes and asked, "What is the enemy's flag?"

The soldier looked at Zhang Qiang in pain, and answered with difficulty, "The orange-red square flag has a thick horizontal bar, a thin horizontal bar, and three black character-shaped circles underneath."

Manid shouted, "That's Yan Agu'er."

Zhang Qiang let go of the soldier, clenched his fists and said, "Yes, that's Earl Agu'er, I didn't expect him to sneak attack me."

Manid thought for a while and said: "We found traces of more than 3000 enemy troops before, and now there are 3 enemies fighting against Queen Aesona. King Harlaus of Swadia has only 1000 troops. Leaving aside some wounded soldiers who could not fight, plus the wounded, dead, and captured soldiers who fought with us today, the King Haraus of the Kingdom of Swadia now has almost [-] people, maybe a little more, look at it this way Come on, the strength of our two families is close to one to two. We can fight tomorrow."

Zhang Qiang shook his head, no, although the other earls have almost broken with King Harolds, and forced Harolds into the palace again and again, but he is still the king after all, if Harolds orders them to attack us now, we will fall into the enemy's forces instantly The ocean, Earl Starma, this guy is the most swaying, sloppy, as long as it does not harm his interests, he can be good to anyone, of course, between us and the king, he must choose the king, he chases Olaf Jar The father and son have gone. With the strength of Olaf Jar and his son, even if they are good at fighting, in the wild, it is the world of cavalry, and it is rumored that the troops of Olaf Jar and his son were captured on the way to Fort Alamera. Count Starmar was defeated.Although I don't know why Earl Starmar has not returned to the army, but I think he will come back soon.At that time, even if he loses 6000 to 2000 people and injures 1 people, there are still more than [-] people who can participate in the attack on us, so we must go tonight. "

Manid asked, "Didn't you send someone to order Olaf Jar's troops to pass through our territory, if not, they can retreat into our castle, and even ask those patrolling soldiers to help Olaf Jar's army resist Starma?" Earl? Maybe Earl Starmar's army was dragged somewhere in our territory, or under the city of Derherim, or under the city of Radian Castle, or Uluzda of Earl Dilinard Kebao."

Zhang Qiang shook his head, "Impossible, Uluzdak Fortress, it's too far away, Olaf Yar's troops ran away as soon as the meeting to force the palace was dissolved, but in such a day and a half, he, as the main force of the infantry, , still can't run more than 800 kilometers, ran to Uluzdak Fort, not even Radiant Fort, I don't think he can even go to Dherem City, maybe just passed Norma Village , running seventy to eighty to one hundred kilometers is the limit of the infantry."

Manid nodded solemnly, "Yes, Earl Starmar has a lot of scout light cavalry troops, even if he chases in the wrong direction, it only takes half a day to locate Olaf Yar's troops, It took half a day to chase, and now I must have fought against Olaf Yar's troops."

Fatis walked in, "That means Olaf Yar's army will be defeated."

Zhang Qiang sighed, "Yeah, I don't expect him to fight side by side with us. Let James and Caitlin prepare, and we will set off in an hour."

Manid asked, "Where are you going?"

Zhang Qiang pursed his lips, and said word by word, "Go find the 3000-man army first, and destroy them. This will make King Harlaus feel distressed. We have to leave the forest at one o'clock at dawn and go to Tarberia first." village, then turned towards the village of Torsdell, and finally returned to the city of Dherim through Dekiosberg."

Fatis hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "This is an escape. We were originally trapped, and the morale of the soldiers was already very low. If we made a detour and walked back without fighting, the morale of the soldiers would drop a lot in an instant. I am afraid that many soldiers will They will all escape in the forest and turn into rebellious soldiers and bandits, which will have a major impact on the public security here."

Manid said with a smile: "If we wait until tomorrow, the army of Earl Crags, who has finished fighting the Doruboye family, returns, or if we add the army of Earl Starma, we will face the enemy with 3 people again. Surrounded by a large force, we are likely to fail, as for security issues, this is a place where green forest robbers haunt, and it is not within our territory, the headache should be King Harlaus, not us."
