Because the 500 cavalrymen in the front were traveling lightly, they had left the heavy cavalrymen behind by more than half a day. With Nangong Xiao and Irene's orders, they rode two horses and ate and slept on their horses. Although it was very tiring to travel like this, these soldiers were all elites selected by Irene, so they could still withstand such an intense march.
Due to the speed of their journey, Nangong Xiao and his group entered the border of the Arthas territory the next afternoon.
Fortunately, after entering the Arthas territory, they met the scouts of the Arthas territory. After asking, they found out that Duke Tynal's troops would take more than half a day to enter the Arthas territory. As a result, Nangong Xiao and the others heaved a sigh of relief. After all, they now had time to rest.
Nangong Xiao didn't bring his troops into Arthas City. Instead, he brought Irene and the others to the path that the enemy would have to take to enter Arthas and set up camp in the Morsheim Plains.
At the same time, he had Bardolan bring his seal and documents back to Arthas to announce the absolute order for a full evacuation.
After Bardolan left, Nangong Xiao, Irene, Liam, and Lurick spread out a simple map. Nangong Xiao said directly," We don't care about the gains and losses of each city. Before the rear army arrives, the only thing we need to do is to use the light cavalry to chase after the enemy on the Morsheim Plains. Whether it's the enemy's main army or the supply troops, as long as there's an opportunity, launch an attack. Focus on archery. After the first attack, retreat immediately regardless of the outcome. Then, keep repeating this attack.”
"What if the enemy occupies Alsace and garrisons it?”Lim didn't agree with this method. Although she could understand the benefits of this kind of ambush, if the enemy defended the city, then this tactic would be useless.
"You don't know much about Arthas 'situation. If they dare to defend the city, the fire will be enough to wipe them out. After all, the buildings in Arthas were mainly made of wood, and even the city walls were made of wooden stakes.”
Nangong Xiao's words instantly made the eyes of everyone present light up. Irene even said," Is this the reason why you let all your subjects escape into the forest?”
"That's right. After all, our Master Bing can't fight head-on. There's nothing we can do other than harass him. Besides, I doubt that the enemy will be able to withstand the harassment of light cavalry. If the enemy collapses before our main force arrives, that would be the best.”Nangong Xiao smiled and continued," Later, Badoran should be able to gather about a hundred soldiers. We have horses, and Arthas doesn't lack arrows. It's enough for us to toy with the enemy to death.”
"Very interesting. Now that you mention it, I'm really looking forward to this battle.”Irene said with a smile.
"Just wait and see. Alright, let's rest now. After dark, it'll be time for us to show our fangs.”
……
When the moon was high in the sky, Nangong Xiao and the 500 cavalrymen had already rested. Together with the 100 Arthas cavalrymen brought by Badolan, a total of 600 people were ready to go.
Just as they were about to set off, the scouts reported that the Tynal army had not set up camp to rest, but had continued to march. They were now fifteen miles away.
" The enemy hasn't set up camp yet," Lim said." Your plan to ambush the supplies while the enemy's camp is relaxed failed before it even started.”
Nangong Xiao didn't care about Liam's rudeness at all. He knew that this woman was just being overly serious and was also very wary of him. She didn't mean any harm.
"It doesn't matter. Although the enemy's marching speed isn't fast, it's still a continuous march. Now that the Arthas territory is close, and they don't know that I've brought reinforcements back, the enemy general must be very proud of himself and wants to spend the night in the castle of the Lord of Arthas, right? Wasn't this a good opportunity for a surprise attack? The moon is very bright tonight, so we don't have to worry about lighting. It's very suitable for us to attack.
The enemy general was so arrogant that he didn't even take out a scout. This was really courting death. Against such an army, as long as they were careful, victory would be assured.”
Hearing Nangong Xiao's words, everyone felt that it made sense.
Nangong Xiao then said," Badolan, take a hundred cavalry and wear lamp oil and other flammable materials to the rear of the enemy. When our main team attacks from the front and lures the enemy cavalry away, you will bring people to burn the enemy's baggage. Burn as much as you can. Don't linger in battle. Even if you don't have the chance to attack, it's fine. Self-preservation is the first priority!”
"Yes!" Bardolan gave a formal knight salute, but soon, his face was covered in tears, making everyone confused.
"What's wrong?" Nangong Xiao also frowned in confusion.
"No, it's nothing…I just feel that Young Master has grown up! Alright, this loyal old servant immediately ran away in tears.
Seeing this scene, everyone revealed a kind smile. Irene even patted Nangong Xiao's shoulder and said," You have a loyal subordinate.”
"A good subordinate left behind by my father." After Nangong Xiao emphasized it a little, he stopped smiling and said," Our only mission is to play with the enemy.”
"Play?"
"A kite flying game." Nangong Xiao grinned.
Just as Irene and the others were about to ask what a kite flying game was, a knight who rushed over from behind interrupted their conversation.
"Lord Xiao!"
Nangong Xiao turned around and saw that the other party was a girl with twin ponytails dressed in a maid's outfit. He knew who she was.
According to his memories, this maid was his only maid, Dita.
Dita seemed to be a little unused to riding a horse. Just as she was about to reach him, she fell off the horse. Fortunately, Nangong Xiao reacted quickly and went forward to catch her.
After placing Dita on the ground to stabilize herself, before Nangong Xiao could speak, Dita, who was holding a black longbow tightly in her arms, had her eyes turn red. She threw herself into Nangong Xiao's arms and cried,"Lord Xiao!! Lord Xiao! Wow ~~"
"Alright, alright, I'm back."
After comforting her for a while, Dita slowly came out of Nangong Xiao's arms." Lord…Lord, it's good that you're fine…"
"Yes, I'm fine. I'm sorry for making you worry.”
Tita shook her head, indicating that she was fine. However, Nangong Xiao said," Didn't I order everyone to leave Arthas City and take refuge? Why did you…"
"Milord, no matter what, I have to personally see Milord safe and sound…and this.”Tita said firmly and presented the black longbow in her arms.
"This is…"
"Milord, perhaps Milord will need it now.”
"Oh? Why would you think that?" Nangong Xiao asked casually after taking the black bow.
Tita shook her head. "I don't know. I just have this feeling. So I came over."
"Is that so?"
Nangong Xiao's heart rippled at this time. It was because this bow was the black bow passed down by the main character in the original movie. It was definitely a divine weapon in this world.
Therefore, Nangong Xiao clicked on the black bow's data attributes without thinking.
Tilly. Na. Bow of Law
dark gold-quality
Sealed. Attributes can be unlocked after being digitized.
[Data conversion cost: 15 gold coins]
15 gold coins?
Nangong Xiao sighed in disappointment. Sure enough, even if he replaced the main character, he didn't have the fate to give away the Dragon Slaying Bow.
Although he did not have the money to digitize this black bow, it was not a problem to use it simply. At the very least, the craftsmanship of this bow was several times better than the one Nangong Xiao was using now. After all, it was one of the divine weapons in this world. Even if it could not activate its attributes, it was still the best longbow in this world.
After pulling the bowstring of the black bow and feeling the quality of the black bow, Nangong Xiao said to Dita with satisfaction. "Dita, thank you."
Tita shook her head in satisfaction, indicating that there was no need to thank her.
"Alright, go back immediately. You can go to the temple or take refuge in the mountains with the other subjects. You must not run out without my orders.”
"Yes, Lord Xiao, I will take good care of myself!”
"Very good."
Nangong Xiao then asked the two Arthas Knights to send Dita back. After Dita left, Irene came forward and said," You two are really compatible."”
"Why is there a sour smell?"
"Sour?" Irene's face turned slightly red, but she pretended to sniff around.
"Haha…it's nothing. Alright, it's time for us to set off.”
……
In Duke Tynal's army, a surly looking young man rode a tall horse and walked in the army. This man was the general of this army, Duke Tynal's son, Saan. Tynal.
Sa 'an looked at the army behind him in high spirits. This was the first time he had commanded an army of 3,000 people, especially the two giant dragons in the 3,000-man army. He was excited and even felt invincible. Also, when he thought that he would be able to teach that ignorant country noble a lesson, he was even more ecstatic. After looking at the plains in the distance, he asked the adjutant beside him," Are we not there yet?”
" Young Master, if we continue on our journey, we should be able to reach Arthas City in about three to four hours…but…" The adjutant hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something but did not dare to say it.
"If you have something to say, say it. You're stammering like a woman. Also, call me General!"
"Yes, yes! General! W-Should we let the soldiers rest for a while before attacking Arthas? "It's getting late now, and the soldiers have been rushing for another day..." The adjutant finally said.
"Humph! What's there to worry about in a rural place like Arthas? Besides, Nangong is still a prisoner in Lettermelitz. How many guards does a small Arthas have? A hundred? 200? Is there a need to be so careful?"
"Yes! Lord General is right!" Seeing his young master's unhappy face, the adjutant lowered his head with sweat all over his forehead.
"It's getting late, and I don't want to spend the night in the wilderness. Go, let the army speed up. We're going to hold a celebration party in Arthas!”
"Yes!"
The adjutant had just gone down to carry out the order when the cavalrymen in front exclaimed," There's an enemy!! The cavalry is approaching!"
Upon hearing that there were enemies ahead, Sa 'an smiled contemptuously. However, he still got his men to get into formation. Soon, under the moonlight, they saw the so-called enemies.
"Hahaha…It really is the territory of that kid Nangong. They don't even have armor and are all cavalrymen wearing leather clothes? However, there were still four to five hundred people. Were they farmers gathered at the last minute? Haha…Is this a cavalry unit? Haha…"
After Sara laughed, the adjutants laughed as well. After all, in their eyes, these cavalrymen without armor would be wiped out by a few hundred infantry archers, let alone a cavalry battle.
"Pass down my order, let the cavalry meet them. Those who dare to resist this general will be executed!”
"Yes!"
