Chapter 560: An Ambush Uncovered? (Fainted, Just Woke Up)
Returning to the territory, Ashina described all the information she heard in detail.
"Where is the ambush circle?"
Field immediately tore open the paper map.
"This is unclear, but their marching trajectory will pass near us."
"No wonder no one came to save my family." Gehros secretly wiped away tears, "It turns out that this is exactly what the Queen wants."
"Fortunately, we didn't originally plan to mix with the noble army." Field hugged Gherlos and comforted him for a while, but then he thought, "That's wrong, it always feels too deliberate. Franvia's ambition is just that little. ”
"They have to send someone here to talk to the mole?"
"Everything has been cleared up." Filomena made the key comment.
"You're right."
Field laughed: "It's not a good thing anyway. As long as we get the benefits, it doesn't matter who wins or loses."
In fact, hearing this secret is not important to the Night Leader. After all, Field had no intention of fighting for the Queen from the beginning.
As for using this secret to threaten Adam, it is a waste of time. He is a close confidant of the Queen, and he is the "enemy" of the Queen. It is self-evident what the outcome will be.
"Time is urgent, Ashina, gather the troops immediately."
"These foreign bandits actually think that our Griffin Empire has no one."
"Then give them a little, a little night collar shock!"
"My lord, I will let the cavalry attack them right now." Ashina has great fighting spirit, her scarlet eyes are filled with the magnificent temperament of killing, "I will make sure that they never come back."
"Don't worry yet."
Field shook his head repeatedly: "Let the mercenaries go first and consume the enemy's physical strength. The cavalry only needs to be responsible for the decisive battle and chasing down the defeated troops."
The mercenaries have great flaws. Not to mention their lack of discipline, these guys have very poor obedience.
He asked them to move out of Goat Village. They clearly showed their protest mood and moved even slower. Some mercenaries even deserted and took their gold coins to escape. Of course, they ended up being killed by light cavalry.
This is no longer an ordinary mercenary, this is a loser, and he must be attacked hard.
"Mercenaries don't have to be used as cannon fodder, so haven't I spent money in vain?" Field doesn't care about human rights at all. "Let the cavalry use whips, and make sure the mercenaries reach this unknown river before the sun comes up tomorrow." Ambush."
The cavalry must rest at night, and it is impossible to walk on mountain roads in the dark, otherwise it would be no joke to kill seventy or eighty people. With a small map and local people leading the way, this trouble will be infinitely reduced. This gives yourself enough time to operate.
"But, with the mercenary's military qualities, it would be difficult to ambush."
"Ambush is not the key at all, we are like this..."
The next morning.
Kayla's cavalry regiment came down the winding mountain road like a roaring torrent and like a steel python. The empire's mountain roads are difficult to walk, and unmaintained dirt roads are torture for the cavalry.
Fortunately, the knights are all elites who have experienced hundreds of battles. The bumps are not a problem at all, and there are not even those left behind.
"After crossing that river, you can walk to another mountain forest." Zhudi, the rebel god's choice, wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Huh~ The mountain road is too difficult to walk. It takes a lot of time just to keep steady. Little energy.”
The big river in the distance crosses the road, and there is a huge stone bridge in the middle connecting the two banks.
"Huh? Something feels wrong."
Keira squinted her eyes and looked at the birds hovering in the sky in the distance. Large numbers of birds lingered on. There were many footprints around, and they were fresh. It was obvious that they had just been stepped on last night.
"Something's wrong, there's an ambush." Keira looked unkind, "You lead us into an ambush?"
"No, no." Zhu Di was shocked and suddenly sweatdropped, "I dare to swear in front of the goddess of war."
"I'm sorry you don't dare either."
Keira stopped her horse, closed her eyes, and injected divine power into her five senses. Her perception continued to break through the limits and extend into the distance. She soon sensed that a large number of mercenaries were hiding in the woods.
From time to time, mercenaries were complaining, cursing or chatting, and the movement was too obvious.
"It's a simple ambush, but I was worried that the enemy would make trouble with me." Keira snorted coldly, "It turns out they are still a bunch of trash. The Griffin Empire's army is just inferior."
"I don't know what kind of useless commander he is. Even if he doesn't clean up his footprints, he doesn't even restrain the soldiers. This professionalism really makes me feel humiliated."
"They obviously arranged in a hurry and planned to attack after we were halfway across the river." Olivier reminded. "Keira, don't be careless. Why they ambush here is very important."
"Just capture their commander and torture him severely." Keira licked her lips. "That's right. I'm full of anger and have nowhere to vent it. I want to squeeze him dry."
"Sir, should we take a detour?"
Zhu Di asked cautiously.
"No need. If you want to take a detour, there will be more than a thousand useless infantry. If you don't have the advantage of sneak attack first, it's nothing."
Keira waved her hand indifferently: "There are cavalry hidden further away, and there may be the Chosen Ones. Just pay attention to this."
"Cavalrymen of the King of Heroes, obey the order!"
"Yes!" About eight hundred knights promised loudly.
"Dismount and form a formation, cross the stone bridge, and directly launch a counterattack against the enemy troops hiding in the woods!"
The cavalry tied their horses to the nearest tree and formed an infantry square.
"My knights don't need to dismount. Wait until the infantry engages in battle. You, Olivier, will lead them to attack the enemy cavalry farther away. Their commander is definitely there."
"Yes!"
In just a moment, Keira saw through the ambush and arranged a counterattack plan. His professionalism shocked Zhudi, who thought: As expected of an army praised by the Hero King, the Franvians are simply invincible.
Drawing his sword, Keira roared: "Kill them, show the trash of the Griffin Empire how powerful we are!"
The enemy lined up in a complete formation, with a fierce fighting spirit, and crossed the stone bridge aggressively. Field knew that they had seen through the ambush.
Without the slightest panic, Field also jumped out: "Mercenaries, two silver coins for killing one person, attack!"
"Charge!"
The mercenaries with bows and crossbows threw dense arrows, and the rest of the mercenaries, driven by money, rushed out in a mess.
Arrows flew out of the forest and fell into the enemy's formation, instantly blooming more than a dozen blood flowers, and two people were shot in the neck and fell down immediately.
But most people, relying on heavy armor, ignored the attack of the rain of arrows and collided fiercely with the mercenaries.
With swords and spears raised, the two sides stabbed each other fiercely, and a group of people fell down in an instant. The small area in front of the stone bridge was already occupied by soldiers from both sides.
"Who are you? You actually have the courage to ambush us." Kaila saw Field commanding the attack from afar and shouted to ask.
Waving the Night Wolf Flag in his hand, Field replied energetically: "I am the national knight of the Griffin Empire, Xiaochuan·Mao, known as the Far North Black Wolf!"
