Phoenix Grand Lord

"Come back! Come back all of you! Every one of you is just a loser! You are useless! You are worse than a dog!"

Andre yelled angrily, but he couldn't stop the war knights and wandering knights from escaping.

In fact, Andre's tactical judgment was correct.

If the wandering knights really have the courage to rush to the foot of the hill in one wave, then the threat of the artillery will be gone, and the wandering knights' advantages can be brought into play.

Under normal circumstances, 10 wandering knights fighting 50 lord soldiers is more than enough.

So Andre's tactics were right, but————-it couldn't be realized at all.

And these factors are all part of Luo Wei's layout and deduction.

Luo Wei brought 50 light cavalry of the Bell Ringing Army here, not to take a risk, but to calculate that Andre could not control these wandering knights and war supervisors under his command.

As soon as the tiger crouching cannon fired, any wandering knight supervising the battle knights would be frightened by the "divine punishment".

Andre had no tactics, but he couldn't execute them.

To put it bluntly, even if Andre can really lead the wandering knights to the hill, Rowe can also phoenix light to coat Liz and Annie, and they will win no matter how they fight.

However, if the troops were to fight in close combat, the Bell Ringing Army would definitely suffer losses.

The current battle situation is one that is completely controlled by Luo Wei. The mud-legged bell-ringing troops forcefully pressed 100 awakened knights to the ground and rubbed them.

Such a record is definitely worth bragging about for the rest of the bell-ringing army present.

Even if I recall it to my children and grandchildren before entering the coffin, I will feel that my life was not in vain, and I will be full of pride and pride.

Although Andre was unwilling to give up, now that the situation was over, he could only run for his life.

The third round of arrows on the hill came in pursuit.

Although these arrow rains were nothing to the awakened knights, the threat of the arrow rain became apparent when they were running for their lives in a panic.

Moreover, everyone knows that after the third round of arrow rain suppression, there will inevitably be the fourth round of artillery attack!

If you don't run at this time, I'm afraid it will really be too late.

So, Andre, who had no horse to ride, pulled a wandering knight beside him off his horse and said, "Give me the horse!"

"Andre!" The wandering knight who fell to the ground unprepared yelled, "You even stole one of your own horses!"

"How dare you scold me, you fucking loser? Go to hell!"

Andre got on his horse, pushed away the wandering knight with one kick, and then charged towards the valley entrance, "Get out of the way! Get out of my way! If I can't get away, no one will give you money!"

The homeless riders nearby gave way to Andre.

On the one hand, it’s really about the money.

On the other hand, they were also afraid that Andre would really take action against them.

Wandering knights don't talk about morality at all, so they naturally don't dare to expect others to talk about morality to them.

There were so many traders fleeing at the mouth of the valley that their escape route was temporarily blocked.

But the red-cloaked knight supervising the team did not hesitate to hack to death the vendors who blocked the road!

The homeless riders behind them all trampled on the merchants' bodies and passed by. Some of the merchants who were still able to save their lives were trampled to death!

For a moment, the direction of the valley entrance was like purgatory on earth.

The wandering knights used this as their bloody path and fled from the entrance of the Evil Valley in a hurry.

"These damn bastards!" Anne on the hill couldn't help but clenched her fists angrily when she saw such a scene. "We should really shoot them again and blow them all to pieces!"

Luo Wei said calmly: "Don't worry, there will be a chance, but not now."

First of all, from a tactical point of view, Luo Wei's purpose of this trip has been completely achieved, and there is no need to risk the lives of the bell-ringing troops.

More than 100 wandering knights can be ambushed with high-end weapons such as artillery to shock them and break their fighting spirit. However, as the ancient art of war has said, you should never pursue a poor enemy.

What is a poor bandit?

It's not the enemy who has no money, but the enemy who has already collapsed, but has forced them into a desperate situation, so that they can only give up and fight hard.

The wandering knights and war-fighting knights are both capable.

They are really desperate. Even if they can be wiped out, the Bell Ringing Army will pay a heavy price.

And if they defeat their fighting spirit and make them all injured, then when they besiege Merrill Valley, they will be just a bunch of mascot decorations.

Moreover, the land of Xiegu is very close to Red Rose Manor. After Andre withdraws from the land of Xiegu, he can escape back to Red Rose Manor within half an hour.

Although Luo Wei's bell-ringing army has strong maneuverability, it must first rush down from the hill and then pursue it.

By the time they can catch up, reinforcements from Red Rose Manor will probably arrive.

In addition, there is another point - the barrel of the Tiger Crouching Cannon has been beaten red, and is even a little burned and deformed.

In this battle, a total of three cannons were fired, but these three cannons were all blessed with magic and infused with the power of the Phoenix.

During the previous cannon test in Merrill Valley, although three cannons were fired, only one was infused with magic and Phoenix power.

Now, with three consecutive shots in a short period of time, Merrill Steel could no longer bear it.

Luo Wei estimates that Merrill Lynch steel of this level can only be used five times in a row.

By the fifth time, it will definitely explode and be scrapped.

If you want to avoid exploding the barrel and scrapping it, it cannot be used continuously, so you have to create more Tiger Crouching Cannons for rotation.

When making more Tiger Crouching Cannons, a large amount of steel resources will be consumed, and more black powder will need to be purchased from the black market.

But think about it, in the magic world of Regan, magic is still the main thing. Without the support of the industrialization process, it is absolutely difficult to popularize and use large-scale firearms.

But no matter what, it is better to have a tiger squat cannon than not, and it is better to have it yourself than to have it by others.

Even if it is expensive and easy to break, you have to have it yourself.

The goal of this battle has been achieved, so you have to stop while you are ahead.

Rowe immediately ordered: "Newas, lead the bell-ringing army to rush down and deal with the seriously injured in the valley, whether they are wandering knights, supervising knights, or vendors, all of them should be executed quickly!"

"Yes! Master!"

Newas immediately led the bell-ringing army down the hill to execute Rowe's military order.

The valley was already full of corpses and blood.

In addition to the nearly 100 vendors and slaves who died, 10 wandering knights were directly killed by steel ball barrage.

Five wandering knights were killed by steel triangular arrows.

There were also five wandering knights who were seriously injured and dying, unable to escape.

Among these five knights who could not escape, one was wearing a red cloak that symbolized the Red Jade Earl family.

After Newas slit the throats of the other four awakened knights, the knight in the red cloak gasped and begged for mercy: "Don't, don't kill me! I'm not Andre's man, I'm Count Red Fei's man! Let me go, and all the money on me will be yours."

Newas asked: "Are you a noble?"

The red cloaked knight smiled slightly, then shook his head and said: "No, but I have money!"

Newas grabbed his hair without hesitation, and put the blade against his throat, "If you were a noble,

Then my master would come to execute you personally, but since you are not a noble, I will send you off."

"Don't--" Before the man finished speaking, his throat was ruthlessly cut open by Newas.

The man covered his bleeding throat with both hands, collapsed on the ground and struggled for a long time, and finally died completely.

Newas imitated Master Rowe, wiped the blade on the man's body, and then said calmly: "Pack up the spoils and prepare to retreat. "

"Yes! "

The bell-ringing troops skillfully began to search the bodies and pick up the spoils.

Although the spoils this time were not as much as those from the raid on the manor, all they got were the armor and weapons of the awakened knights!

In less than 10 minutes, the battlefield in the valley was cleaned up.

Rovi immediately led the bell-ringing light cavalry back along the original route.

In this battle, Rovi dealt a heavy blow to the arrogant Andre Wandering Knights at the cost of zero casualties.

The Wandering Knights left a total of 23 knight corpses, 5 of which were knights from the Earl's Supervisory Team.

This death rate may not seem high, but in addition to these 23 people, among the remaining 77 knights, at least 30 were seriously injured and unable to fight for a short period of time, and more than 40 were also slightly injured to varying degrees.

If we take these more than 40 slightly injured people, , then the number of wandering knights who can still maintain their original combat effectiveness will not exceed 10.

Let alone the combat effectiveness of these 10 people, the medical expenses for the seriously injured knights alone will make Andre bleed heavily!

The entire Wandering Knights Corps was destroyed before they officially joined the battle.

Even if they could be pulled to the battlefield, they would at most be mascots to enhance their momentum.

When Rowe led the light cavalry back the same way, Knight Maiwen also led 300 bell-ringing troops to safely retreat to Merlin Valley.

Although Knight Maiwen wanted to fight with Edmund's vanguard troops who came to support him, he still obeyed the order of Master Rowe.

The 500 vanguard cavalry sent by Edmund came up empty-handed, and did not rashly pursue the Maiwen knights.

Edmund in Marigold Town He was waiting for the news from the vanguard troops, but he didn't expect that the magic raven of the vanguard troops would not arrive, but he received an urgent letter for help from his own son Andre from Red Rose Manor.

After reading the letter for help, Edmund was dumbfounded.

In the letter, Andre said that his wandering knights were ambushed by Viscount Miranden in the Oblique Valley. Although they fought bravely, the old Viscount Miranden did not care about the dignity of the nobles and used "super magic artillery" that was more fierce than the royal artillery, causing them to temporarily retreat to Red Rose Manor for rest.

In the letter, Andre asked Edmund to bring troops to pick them up, and to bring more soldiers and horses, especially when crossing the Oblique Valley, they must be extra careful.

Edmund took the letter and read it over and over again, confirming that it was the handwriting and seal of his own son. The Knight Commander of the Count of Red Jade, a Level 4 Knight, who was accompanied by more than 100 mercenary knights, was beaten to the point that he had to send someone to pick him up?

This, this...

Edmund was puzzled!

What made Edmund even more puzzled was that he had not declared war on Viscount Miranden, but Viscount Miranden dared to cross the border to ambush?

Why? Why?

Although he had a grudge against Viscount Miranden, which of the neighboring lords of titles had no grudges or resentments?

Having grudges and resentments was normal, and everyone had the awareness of being a noble lord of a title.

This kind of cross-border sneak attack on the other party's first-line heir, even if it succeeded, was very stupid!

Isn't this an excuse for Marigold to declare war?

Not only Marigold had an excuse to declare war, but the lords of titles under the name of the Count of Red Jade could also stand on the moral high ground to declare war on the Broken Star Valley!

So, why did Miranden do this?

Most importantly, where did Miranden get the royal magic cannon?

Could it be that this old man had a chance encounter and was related to the Soladin royal family?

Although he couldn't figure it out, Edmund still took 200 lord soldiers and 300 serf soldiers, a total of 500 soldiers, and went to the Red Rose Manor to pick up people.

In order to prevent the house from being stolen, Edmund also urgently recalled the vanguard troops to defend Marigold Town.

In this way, Marigold Town still has at least 1,500 soldiers and several blood lords in charge, so there will be no major problems.

On this day, Edmund was busy mobilizing troops. Marigold's full-scale offensive troops had not yet been fully assembled, and they were led around by the nose.

When Edmund passed through the inclined valley, he saw the shocking shotgun shells and the naked knights' bodies everywhere, and he couldn't help but tremble with fear.

It turns out that Andre's letter was not exaggerated. There really is a cannon more powerful than the magic cannon.

But Edmund still didn't believe that this was something that Viscount Miranden, a lord who likes to be patient, could do.

Moreover, logically speaking, Viscount Miranden has a strong force. If Miranden really did it, Andre and others would definitely not be left alive.

At least, if Edmund did this, he would definitely not let Andre get away.

When Edmund arrived at the Red Rose Manor, he was shocked by the injuries of the knights.

Andre saluted Edmund with a face full of grievance, "Father, you are finally here! I really didn't expect that I would be ambushed by Miranden in my own territory!"

Edmund frowned, "Let's not talk about this first--what are the casualties?"

Andre hurriedly said: "Thank you for your concern, father. I'm fine. The blood on my face is just horse blood."

In order to prove his bravery to his father, Andre didn't even wipe his face.

Edmund asked: "I'm asking you about the situation of the hired knights!"

Andre said angrily: "They have suffered heavy casualties - now there are probably only more than 40 people who can fight."

Andre deliberately exaggerated.

This includes the supervising knights, but Edmund knows very well that the supervising knights of the Red Jade Earl will never fight for them.

Not only will they not fight for them, but they will also have to eat and use their things.

Now, they have to help them recover, give them the best medicine and nutrition, and always put them first.

The mercenary compensation should not be reduced by a penny.

This is not to invite them to fight, it is simply to invite a group of old men to take care of their old age!

Edmund supported his aching forehead.
