Chapter Five Hundred and Nineteenth Division
"Asshole! That Alan thinks he is some great person, isn't he just a baron?" On the way back, Abel said with a grim face: "Uncle, after this war is over. When you make me a knight first, I will be able to take the position of baron in less than three years. At that time, I will see how Allen will use the title to suppress me."
Graal shook his head and said, "There is no problem with this, but are you willing to miss Ruola?"
Speaking of Ruola, Abel's face darkened, and he smiled wryly: "Actually, you know that even if Miss Ruola doesn't like Alan, it's not my turn. I heard that the Earl is planning to marry the Marquis of the Iron Gun Most likely because of her intention to marry Miss Ruola to Huo Yi's son."
"Miss Ruola, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it, but at least I can't let Alan underestimate her."
"If you can see this clearly, I don't have anything to say. Ruola has a special status. She is the count's younger sister. It is not surprising that Aubain married her to Hoy's son out of the consideration of revitalizing the family."
Abel nodded and said, "I just think now, as long as I can make Miss Ruola look at me differently, even just once. Uncle, you will definitely help me?"
Graal sighed: "You are the most outstanding young man in our family. I won't help anyone. Besides, Alan, I don't like him very much."
The uncle and nephew were talking, and the sound of horseshoes sounded behind them. The two turned their heads to look, and it turned out that Ruola was galloping up on a snow-white war horse. That was her favorite horse, Ruola came to them and got off the horse. His eyes first glanced at Abel, and finally fell on Graal: "Uncle Graal, why did you do this!"
Graal pretended to be confused and said, "Miss Ruola, what are you talking about?"
"You know what I say, and I know what you and Abel are thinking. But I want to warn you, this is the last time, don't provoke Sir Allen again. You and I both know that in this situation, What can Sir Allen and his army do. I need their strength, if you do this again, I can only ask you to leave." After speaking, Ruola got on the horse, patted the horse's buttocks, and the horse galloped away and go.
Immediately, Ruola gritted his teeth with hatred, and secretly said: "If I had known that Graal was so hateful, I should have let my brother steal his old den's treasury as well!"
The eldest lady still couldn't forget Graal's treasury. Of course, anyone who could copy millions of property in one night would be like her. It's a pity that now is not the time, and Ruola can only think about it in her heart.
The Unicorn Legion was eerily quiet that day, and did not launch another attack.
But at dawn the next day,
A troop of cavalry marched out from the Unicorn Barracks. The hoofs of the cavalry horses are all wrapped with soft cotton cloth, so that the horses fall silently. When this team of cavalry left the camp like a whirlwind, all the hidden sentries that Ruola had placed near the enemy camp were found out and knocked down one by one.
Daniel, who dressed himself as a soldier, watched the cavalry leave. At his feet was the corpse of a scout. He wiped off the blood on the long sword with the clothes on the corpse, then lowered his helmet and walked back towards the barracks.
At the darkest hour before dawn, the cavalry of the Unicorn Legion attacked the main city of Bauhinia. But this was just a harassing attack, but when Ruola arrived, dozens of guards' corpses had already fallen on the city wall. Immediately after the enemy cavalry hit, they flew far away, not even looking at the result, making Ruola stomp their feet with hatred, but there was nothing they could do.
After dawn, the horn of attack sounded in the unicorn camp. Teams drove out of the barracks and attacked in the direction of the main city. This time, Higgs dispatched three soldiers. When the army charged, the rumbling and dull cannons also sounded. The eight cannons brought in with Daniel yesterday were rearranged on the bombardment position, and heavy troops were placed in front of the position to prevent the incident that the position was destroyed by Allen's several rounds of fire and thunder bombing yesterday.
This time, under the cover of artillery shelling, Shen Hailin Ji seemed not as relaxed as yesterday. Several firepower points on the guard wall have been patronized by enemy artillery shells, and the black shells fell from mid-air with sharp roars, setting off continuous explosions on the guard wall. Ruola and other strong men in the army rose up to intercept them, but after all, the number of them is limited, and the area of the guard wall that can be protected is correspondingly small.
More places were bombarded by artillery fire, so that the musketeers of Deep Sea Linji could not effectively suppress the enemy soldiers coming under the city wall. After that, there were several rounds of fierce offensive and defensive battles. After the battle lasted for more than an hour, the unicorn camp blew the trumpet to retreat again. So they left the city full of wolf smoke and retreated quickly. Ruo La was not angry, and sent cavalry to chase after him, but only killed a group of enemy soldiers, and the Unicorn sent a helping hand, and Shen Hai Lin Ji had to retreat.
In this way, the battle of you attacking and defending, and you retreating and chasing me was staged many times during this day. The frequency of unicorns fighting on this day was outrageous. Higgs organized the entire army into several teams, and each team went to battle one after another. Each battle is short and intense. After a battle is completed, when the team returns to the camp, a new team will be dispatched. After so many repetitions, even though the unicorn army's physical energy is also being consumed, it is obvious that the consumption of the Deep Sea Lin Ji is much more intense.
Especially the enemy's endless attack, the continuous offensive made Deep Sea Linji feel a little breathless. In the end, upon hearing the sound of the cannon, the soldiers jumped up almost reflexively, without any time to rest.
It wasn't until evening that the unicorn side stopped attacking, and the fighters of Deep Sea Linji were exhausted. Many of them found a random corner on the guard wall and fell asleep as soon as they closed their eyes.
"The situation is not good."
Ruo La said worriedly.
Allen glanced, and all he saw were tired soldiers. Such soldiers have almost no combat effectiveness, and what's more terrible is that their morale and fighting spirit have been wiped out under the repeated attacks of the enemy today. Allen sighed: "Haggs intends to polish our morale and combat power, and then launch a general offensive, and the outcome will be determined in one battle."
"Then they made a wrong calculation. Brother's army will arrive tomorrow. At that time, we will use two prongs to kill them and leave no one behind."
"It's not that simple." Allen shook his head and said, "The two armies are facing each other, and the military ranks first. If Daniel doesn't even know that Earl Aubain's army is rushing here, he is not qualified to sit in this position. If I were Daniel , will definitely make some arrangements to delay the earl's army."
As if to verify Allen's words, Ruo La received an urgent report not long after. The urgent report was sent by Aubin, claiming that he was harassed by Daniel's army on the way, and that he might not be able to arrive on time. To Ruola continue to do a good job of defense. After handing this urgent report to Alan, Ruola sighed: "It seems that we have to watch for another two days or so."
After reading the emergency report, Allen sighed: "If this is the case, it will be in Daniel's arms. We have to do something so that we will not be passively defending all the time."
After all, a faint smile appeared on his face: "I do have a plan, but it's just a little risky."
"What plan?" Ruola asked, looking up.
"Based on what you know about Daniel, he has deployed heavy troops here now, and he still has the power to harass the earl's army. Then, how many defenders do you think he has left in the territory?"
Ruola thought about it seriously: "The number of the unicorn army is around 3,000, and you disabled a 1,000-man army before. Even if the reserves are used, there are only about 2,500 people. It is already the number of heavy troops deployed here. The force Daniel uses to harass his brother is likely to be mercenaries or adventurers recruited from other channels, as for the territory, there cannot be many guards."
"At most, it won't exceed three hundred, right?"
Allen nodded and said, "I think so too, so I have a plan. Tonight I will lead a team away, bypass Bauhinia and directly copy Daniel's lair. I want to see if his backyard is on fire, and I will send all the heavy troops Press here?"
"You mean, you want to force Daniel to split up?" Ruola said happily, "This is a good way, but Daniel is not here, so he must be in his own territory. If you go, you may run into him directly."
"That's why I said it was a little risky, but no one is sure of winning the war. As long as you have more than five points, I think you can give it a go." Allen said resolutely: "Let's do it like this. I'll let people Get ready to leave late at night."
"Be careful in everything." Ruola was not a person who dragged his feet, so he agreed immediately.
Allen turned around and was about to leave when Ruola suddenly grabbed his hand. She pulled back, and when Allen turned around, Ruola's two red lips were already printed on his lips. Although the two broke up at the first touch, Ruola's face was as red as a ripe apple. She whispered: "You must come back."
"Of course, Daniel is not a beauty, and I'm not interested in lingering on his territory." Allen joked before he really left.
In the middle of the night, Allen didn't disturb anyone. Under the cover of Ruola's confidant team, he quietly left the city. He took hundreds of warriors, an elite team composed of Shanwang, Inch Fire and several Dark Blades, and left. The target was Daniel's territory.
But even Allen didn't know, this time he made a mistake. Daniel had secretly come to the Bauhinia Territory to deal with him. As for the Viscount's own territory, it was now at its emptiest.
The fighters brought out by Allen are all elites, and the combat effectiveness of this team is no worse than a regular army of 500 people, and even better. The team advanced at full speed, crossed mountains and rivers, and galloped overnight. According to the detailed map given by Ruola, Allen and the others sneaked in from the side of the Emerald Mountains, approaching the Unicorn Castle, trying to surprise Daniel.
Before dawn, Alan was hiding in the canopy of a big tree in a forest facing Lake Portelli. Looking from his direction, there were only a few sporadic lights flickering on the dark lake, which were the fires reflected from several watchtowers of the Unicorn Castle.
With the light of the fire, Allen vaguely saw a few high and low defensive walls, only a few guards scattered. Just as he and Ruola had guessed, Daniel had pitifully few guards on his territory when all the best soldiers were out.
This is an opportunity, and there is only one Daniel in it.
Calculating the time, it has been a month since Xia Lier was poisoned. According to Baggins' estimation, Daniel should have dropped by one level now. A viscount of the twenty-fourth level may not be so difficult to deal with. Even if he loses, it is still possible for Alan to retreat calmly and ask himself.
He slid down the tree, just as four Darkblade warriors in black night suits approached. Allen pointed in the direction of the castle: "The sentry tower."
The Dark Blade warriors understood immediately, they restrained their breath, and sneaked towards the castle in the dark.
Allen made a gesture, and the soldiers hidden in the woods rushed in quietly, ready to attack at any time. Waiting for Dark Blade's action now, not long after, on the left side of the castle facing the forest, the flames in a sentry tower swayed back and forth, which was a signal that the Dark Blade warrior had succeeded. Allen didn't hesitate anymore, raised Qianjun and pointed forward.
So at the darkest moment in the world, war horses with their hoofs tied in cotton cloth sprang out of the woods, and with silent steps, they galloped up the lakeside avenue of the ancient castle like a group of ghosts. It wasn't until after the team drove halfway through the passage, a dozing guard on the guard wall accidentally looked down, that he was surprised that the enemy had already arrived. He hastily rang the silver bell next to him, signaling the enemy's attack.
Just after knocking, the guard's chest felt cold. Behind him, a dark blade warrior appeared like a ghost. After pulling out the poison-applied short knife that pierced his chest, he placed the guard firmly on the ground of the guard wall, and then plundered a group of guards who came out not far away.
When approaching the wall, the inch fire fighters in the team raised their fire rifles. The sequence was activated at Allen's command, and streaks lit up on these rugged rifles. The next moment, more than 30 fireballs dragged their flame tails and landed on the positions of the castle's upper guard tower, commanding heights, and two defensive artillery pieces.
A series of loud noises immediately tore through the quiet night of Lake Portelli, and the fire stream that shot up into the sky lit the night above the castle. The fire light was reflected on the lake, clearly reflecting the reflection of the ancient castle with flames bursting out everywhere.
The people in the castle were awakened, and the soldiers hurriedly put on their armor, ran out of the barracks, and ran towards the guard wall of the castle. In the castle, the old butler who heard the explosion walked out of the room with an ancient musket, and the screaming servants ran around in the corridor, while sporadic explosions and continuous rough gunshots continued to be heard outside. , I heard the old butler's heart beating up and down, beating non-stop.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly. At the moment Daniel left the castle, the castle was attacked. This has never happened in the past twenty years. It was the first time that Lake Portettilly was ignited by artillery fire, and the old housekeeper realized that this time Daniel had indeed provoked a terrible opponent. r1058
