Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

If Altamund and the rest of the soldiers were not present, Richard could still send all the soldiers back to the main world, and his chances of successfully escaping alone are better than a large group of people. The chance of a successful escape is high.

However, now that outsiders are present, he can only take a gamble.

Next, Richard announced his plan to the soldiers in the car array. After hearing him, not only the soldiers who had finally stabilized, but also the soldiers under Richard’s command began to boil. , They didn’t know that the enemy had begun to seek reinforcements. They only knew that even if the car array was not very stable, they were still very safe in it.

Richard didn’t explain to them, he just seriously asked the soldiers to obey his command, and emphasized that there is a glimmer of survival by following the order, but if each minding their own business escapes, there is only To die in this foreign country is an end.

Although Altamund did not speak, you can see that he is standing next to Richard, and you know that this young nobleman supports Richard’s plan.

The conviction of the nobles in their hearts made the defeated soldiers have to choose to obey Richard’s orders. They gradually calmed down and set their sights on Richard’s body, ready to execute them after he gave the order.

Richard turned his head and looked towards the imperial cavalry in the distance again, and began to estimate the distance of the imperial cavalry to here. He quickly got a bottom, as long as they move fast enough, there is a high chance that they will be able to catch up. Hiding in the forest before the imperial cavalry chased it over, because the imperial cavalry was farther away.

He took a deep breath, then slowly vomited it out, looked back towards the soldiers, and ordered in a deep voice: “Pull the carriage away and retreat to the forest at full speed to the west!”

Speaking, he pointed to the dense forest to the west.

Richard finished speaking, the soldiers blocking the gap in the carriage pushed the carriage away together, because the horses that towed the carriage body were previously untied and crowded with the people, so the soldiers could only rely on The manpower pushes the car body to free up a road. After the car body was pushed away, Richard and Altamond did not take the lead out, but calmly ordered the soldiers to form a long line and rush out of the car array.

When the first soldier ran out of the circle, what happened here was discovered by the imperial cavalry in the distance, and quickly reported to the commander Acios, who immediately sat down. Unable to stop, he quickly looked towards the direction of the car formation and saw that the Valandian had escaped. He turned on his horse and put on his helmet, shouted: “Chasing them! Don’t let them run away!”

When his words fell, this group of imperial cavalry rushed towards the direction of the car formation like an off-string arrow. Richard, who had been observing the enemy’s movements, felt tight when he saw the enemy, looking towards the soldiers who were still in the evacuation, and found that they were there. Half of the people have withdrawn from the army in a short time.

“Your Excellency Altamund, you lead the team first, and I will be responsible for the queen.” Richard said to the young nobleman beside him. Altamond was slightly stunned when he heard the words. He also knew that it was not each other now. When evasive, he agreed in one fell swoop, and took his square flag Knight to withdraw from the cart to guide the soldiers to withdraw in an orderly manner.

After they left, Richard waved his hand, and the horses in the cart and part of the food on the car body were collected by him in the item column. Even if he had to give up the looted food, Richard was unwilling. Leave everything to the empires, especially expensive horses.

After doing this, Richard took the soldiers who had not yet evacuated out of the cart. While retreating, he observed the movement of the imperial cavalry and found that the imperial cavalry was faster than he thought. It’s a bit slower, as long as the retreating team can’t get any moths, they will be able to withdraw into the forest smoothly.

Achaos was also very regretful after discovering this. He was completely stunned by the tortoise of the Valandian. He didn’t notice the surrounding forest at all, and he didn’t expect Varandi. The demi will drop the looted materials and escape into the forest without the slightest hesitation. Of course, the more important point is that the powerful cavalry unit under his command gives him a very high confidence, making him a little underestimate the enemy at once, and I don’t think they can escape from it. Run away with his own eyelids.

Now it seems that his underestimate is broken. Major event!

Although the cavalry ran faster and faster under the urging of Achaos, but under the impetus of the hope of living, the Valandians retreated faster than them and rushed to Before they arrived, all of them fled into the dense forest. Seeing that the enemy had gotten into the forest, Acios quickly ordered to stop the pursuit.

He knows that the cavalry troops are inconvenient in the forest, unable to take advantage of their high mobility, and rushing in will only give the Varandians a chance to fight back and ambush them, and the facts are true. In this way, after retreating into the forest without danger, Richard immediately ordered the soldiers to rely on the complex terrain of the forest to set up ambushes. If the empires were so arrogant that they dared to chase in, he would teach the opponent an unforgettable lesson.

However, after seeing the imperial cavalry stop pursuing, he knew that the ambush would not work anymore. That Achaos did not seem to be blindly pursuing, because if it were, he would have already Chased in with the cavalry.

After seeing them stop, Richard immediately let the soldiers begin to retreat. Don’t continue to waste time here. The dense forest can only block the imperial cavalry forces, but they cannot stop them from chasing afterwards. Reinforcements, continuing to waste time here can only put yourself in a dangerous situation.

Altamond looked at Richard’s calm and calm command, he had already spoken out and admired him, he had subconsciously placed Richard in the position of commander, and he was willing to retreat. Deputy, even if the opponent is just a mercenary group leader who has just sworn allegiance to the king.

In addition, he was still thinking carefully in his heart. The interior of Vallandia was turbulent. King Deterre experienced two fiascos in a year, which greatly damaged his prestige. The nobles He would definitely not let this opportunity to weaken the king’s power be passed. If he could draw Richard to his family, no matter what the future political situation of the kingdom would be, they would be able to have a strong fighter.

Richard didn’t notice Altamund’s careful thoughts. He continued to direct the soldiers to move west. He had been in this forest before, and he passed through this forest when he left Gamma Erdan. Forest, and as long as you go west and bypass Gamma Erdan, you can enter the southern territory of the Kingdom of Valandia. Richard speculated that the main force of the two countries had just gone through a great battle, and the Legion of the empire must have suffered a lot. They may not be able to take advantage of the victory. The biggest probability is to repair in place, allowing Legion soldiers to slow down and launch an offensive.

Moreover, if Richard were the Marshal of the Empire, he would be more inclined to attack the city of Sargos, the capital of the Valandians not far from the border.
