Warhammer Throne
Chapter 155: , Race against time
In the evening of September 14th.
Old World, Britannia, Ardennes Forest, outside the Huelsen Castle, the Cavaliers Army Camp.
Grain supply was gradually tense. Marquis Anghi ordered that all the grain be collected and distributed uniformly according to the fixed amount, which caused the complaints of the soldiers. The knights could still have a full meal. The morale of the army is further reduced as it will be dealt with.
Even with this method, the food of the cavalier army was caught in a stretch.
On the contrary, the beast people suffered heavy losses, but with the large amount of grain and grass in the castle, they always guaranteed morale.
Normally, the beastmen have always lacked grain and grass reserves. If the beastmaster cannot satisfy the endless appetite and bloodthirsty desires of the herd, the herd will be in danger of internal strife. Among them, the strong doomed bull and the big beast with the mark of the evil **** We will even try to challenge the Beastmaster.
And now, a large amount of food for the knightly army has entered the stomachs of the beasts, and these chaotic creatures of omnivorous food eat everything.
In the camp account, Marquis Angsy could already feel the low morale of the knights and serfs. He hesitated again and again, and he picked up the magic messenger: "This is Angsy Desmond, Gabriel? Please? Report your situation? "
"This is Gabriel de Bastogne, and we have advanced to the depths of the Arden Forest, fifty kilometers from the Demon Rock!" Gabriel replied.
The Right Army also did not understand the situation of the Cavaliers.
Damn it! Marquis Angsi estimated a little, he knew that it was impossible for the Right Army to return, they were at least one hundred and fifty kilometers away from the castle of Yulsen, which took at least four or five days.
"What happened? My marquis?" Gabriel's voice came from the magic messenger.
The young and handsome face of Marquis Anghi was full of haze.
His army is in trouble, but he still has confidence in himself. He believes that he can still defeat the Beastman army and win a face-saving victory.
The relationship between Birchmond, Duke of Bastogne, and King Richard has a long history, and the conflict between Duke Francois of Winford and the King led the Marquis of Angie to decide to rush them aside, If you let them know that the left army has been annihilated, the middle army is also in a bitter battle, their prestige is damaged, and the prestige of the king is also damaged.
For his own sake, for His Majesty ’s sake, Marquis Angsy felt that he could not let the Right Army know what was happening, so he was silent for a while before he said, "It ’s okay, but we and Adelaide have encountered an ambush. Big, decided to postpone the march, you can wait for a while near Wanmoyan, if we are really unable to meet, you can retreat by yourself. "
"Okay, Angsy, do you need our support?" Gabriel was already mentally prepared for the ambush of the Orcs. It sounds like the left army and the middle army are ambushed. It is normal to have a large loss, so Did not think too much.
"No, you just have to pay attention to stop the army of the orcs from Wanmo Rock." Marquis Onci put down the magic messenger, and his eyes had become blood red. In any case, he had to eat this orc. , Or wait for the beastmen's reinforcements to arrive, everything will be done!
"Pass me the order! Everyone gets up at four o'clock in the morning! You must conquer Yulsen Castle tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
On September 15th, the Cavaliers began to attack the castle of Ulsen at all costs. The whole city spent almost a day in the cries of knights and beastmen until the dusk, although the knights killed three The bull and the four-arm bull demon in the first and last days, but under the wild counterattack of the beastmen, the knights still retreated.
Over the course of the day, more than 100 knights and more than 2,000 serf soldiers were killed. The number of knightly soldiers had fallen to less than 13,000. The army was panicked. The morale of the serfs was very low, every moment. A serf suddenly turned and fled into the forest and disappeared.
The beast people have only more than 4,000 left, but all they have left are the most elite giant beast battle group, giant minotaur battle group and chaotic ogres, cyclops, etc., as well as the most powerful doomsday bull and four Armed demon, these creatures and fighting methods have nothing to do with the castle walls, they persist in their positions tenaciously.
The knights were not allowed to enter, and rumors began to spread among the army. Many knights thought that they should retreat in the event of insufficient food. Some knights thought it was a mistake to designate the marquis of Anghi to command the army of knights.
The young marquis was therefore under heavy pressure, and he finally made a decision to put all the reserve teams in one breath, no longer guarding against possible beastmen reinforcements.
Win or lose, in one fell swoop!
…………
One day later, deep in the forest of Arden, right camp.
Ryan took a nap in the afternoon, then walked out of the camp.
In the past few days, the forest was surprisingly quiet. The Right Army did not encounter the orcish gang, even the scattered orcish beasts did not. They marched smoothly to forty miles from the location of Wanmoyan. Kilometers.
Taking a deep breath of the air inside the forest, Ryan walked between the camps, inspiring the morale of the soldiers. The Right Army still has a scale of more than 4,900 people. After the successive victories, the soldiers Morale is soaring, especially after Lane allowed them to hunt in the forest, even the humblest serfs got a lot of barbecue.
Now that they have arrived at the expected meeting place, which is only 30 kilometers away from Wanmoyan, they arrived here in the morning and established a camp.
But it was too quiet, especially quiet. They did not encounter the beastmen or the friendly forces scheduled to meet along the way. They seemed to be abandoned by the world, and they were alone at the end of the world.
This is really strange. After the camp, all the scouts around the entire camp were surveyed for several kilometers, and no traces of wild beasts or friendly forces were seen.
It ’s okay if you do n’t see the friendly army, because after receiving the news that the two armies encountered ambushes, the loss was great, and they might not be able to meet the division, but would n’t it be strange if not even the orcs were seen?
You know, Wanmoyan is the core of the Faith and the camp center of the beastmen. At any time, there must be a beast warrior garrison nearby, and there are powerful doomed bull guards. Lion has led the army for 10,000 The Devil Rock is only thirty kilometers away. It is impossible to see even the shadow of a beastman now.
Standing on the soft grass and looking at the lush forest in the distance, Ryan always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.
The Marquis Gabriel walked behind Ryan. After a series of battles, the third son of the Red Dragon Duke had fully recognized the lady ’s championship: "I have led people to investigate twenty kilometers away, around We did n’t meet any beastmen within 20 kilometers, nor did we meet any ... humans. "
"So, the beast-man moved the Demon Rock?" Ryan asked with a frown.
"It looks like, the Beastmen should have moved the Demon Rock elsewhere, otherwise there will be no Beastmen nearby." Gabriel frowned, and he and Len discussed the military.
The two suddenly felt like they were headless flies, and arrived at the scheduled meeting place, neither saw the enemy nor the friendly forces.
what's going on? Both Ryan and Gabriel felt puzzled. What should they do now?
Continue to march towards the intended target location? However, the Right Army is too small and has no ability to face the Beastmen alone.
Wait in place? Will it fall into a trap and be unconsciously surrounded by beastmen?
retreat? This choice is even more unreliable. Unauthorized withdrawal is very likely to be blamed, and Marquis Anghi just said that he can retreat after he ca n’t meet, provided that he ca n’t meet, but Marquis Anghe has n’t confirmed that he ca n’t meet. Retreating, turning back a war-fighting hat can't be taken off. Seriously, it will be charged.
So for the time being, until the new order is not available, the Right Army can only wait.
"Your Excellency Gabriel, as you said before, our Excellency Marquis said he and Adelaide were in an ambush. The loss was great and may not be able to join us. What kind of loss would make them unable to join us? What about? "Ryan could only find two Mazars and Gabriel sitting down in the huge woods and chatting.
"That's at least about 10% to 20% casualties." Gabriel nodded.
The knights are well-trained professional soldiers, and the sergeants are also considered semi-professional infantry. It is acceptable for them to suffer a loss of 20%, but the serfs are completely different. The recruited guys are both fragile, The leadership is low. If there is no knight overseeing war, the serfs are basically crushed, and at most withstand a wave of attacks. Even if there is a knight overseeing war, the serf ’s combat power and morale are still poor, so they stand on the spot to withstand the defense The other party can attack, so it is very difficult for them to charge.
Unless led by the Holy Grail Knights, the serfs could only show their fighting power and morale like cannon fodder.
The military book says that when the army suffers about one to 20% of casualties, it is not recommended to continue fighting, it is better to rest on the spot to maintain morale.
The number of holy knights is very scarce. How many holy knights there are in the holy knights may only be known by the lake **** witch and the green mentor of the great mentor. The number of holy knights estimated by the outside world is between 300 and 500, most of them are guarding The holy land of fairies in the lake, how many holy knights are active outside, most people are unclear, so there is no way to know the specific number of holy knights, but it is certain that the number of holy knights is very small, unless the knight kingdom encounters very serious The holy grail knight will be dispatched collectively.
This knight war is more like a chance for young knights of the whole kingdom to experience.
Now no one can wait until a new scout returns.
"Ah ~ there's nothing. It seems that what's the big deal happening in this forest." Ryan said with a helpless stretched waist.
"we can only do this."
…………
Outside the castle of Yulsen, the sky was full of smoke.
This is the third day that the Cavaliers have been attacking the castle of Yulsen. The beastmen in the castle have only more than three thousand left. Both the sergeant and the knight appeared as deserters, and many knights were persuading the marquis of Angsy: "My marquis, the war has failed, let's withdraw troops quickly!"
"No! No! This war must not be defeated!" The Marquis' face was covered with sweat and all kinds of dirty things. He roared towards the knights: "I don't understand, we have besieged the beastmen. In that already dilapidated castle, why can't we just take them? "
His lieutenant, Pierre, was bandaged, and came up and persuaded: "My marquis, the remaining beastmen are all elite, and the beastmen's way of fighting does not depend on the city wall itself. If you do n’t come down, it ’s time to withdraw, my marquis. "
Marquis Anghi's long, supple and beautiful long blond hair was covered with various smoke and neglected, and became dry like straw. He gritted his teeth to consider the pros and cons.
If you withdraw from the army now, the remaining 10,000 knightly troops should be able to withdraw from the forest, and the beastmen have also suffered heavy losses. They dare not chase them, at least they can retain their last vitality.
But when he comes out, the cost of the comeback is staggering. His title of marquis will definitely be stripped. He will also go to the military court and appoint the nephew and grandson as the commander of the king. The prestige of the king is bound to be compromised. Opportunity for the army to go out.
Your own life is ruined, unless you can get the understanding of the lady, and complete the holy grail test, become a holy knight.
But ... is it possible? How could the lady forgive a mourner who had laid down the cavalier army?
What if we don't withdraw our troops?
When the beastmen's reinforcements arrive, your knightly army is in danger of collapse. This is clear to you ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ The beastmen are also clear, but as long as you can catch the beastmen before the arrival of the beastmen's reinforcements People eat it and cut off the head of the beast king, this war is not a complete defeat.
Everyone is racing against time.
Thinking of the end, the adventurous spirit prevailed, and Marquis Anghe gritted his teeth and said, "Can't withdraw the troops, let me take someone to charge again!"
It was another fierce battle at noon. The war continued until three o'clock in the west of the sun. The knights still failed to defeat the remaining beastmen. The big beasts and minotaurs were really too deadly, even if the knights had rushed In front of the Beastmaster, the final result was still in vain. The Beastmaster shot himself and killed the knights.
Just when the Marquis Angsy was forced to retreat, deep and deep in the forest came a bleak and deep horn.
It's the beastmen screaming the big shaman "heart eater" Groz! It hides after moving the Demon Rock, and then leads the final force and elite troops of the orc guarding the Demon Rock to join the Beastmaster!
"Huh ah! Humans ... the end ... is coming!" Seeing the reinforcements finally arrived, the beast became very angry.
The knights were ashamed.
Soon, after many days of hard work, lack of food and grass, and the low morale of the Cavaliers army was crushed after being hit by two sides, and then besieged by a beastman in a small basin in the river valley.
So when Marquis Gabriel picked up the magic communicator, there was a cry of despair from Marquis Angsy.
"Right Army! Right Army! This is Angsy Desmond! The Cavaliers are surrounded by beastmen. We have suffered heavy losses and need your support. We need your support!"
The wind has been very tight lately, so do n’t blame me for writing “followed by me” often, because that ’s impossible. No one wants their book to be closed.
