Glory Riding and Cutting

"Your Majesty, the enemy army is very tenacious. We may not be able to attack here for a while, and we can only attack from one side, which seriously limits our numerical advantage. Whether to detour or continue to attack, please make a decision!"

Inside the conference tent, a noble officer said to Mayweather, and the other officers responded immediately:

"Yes, Your Majesty, being unable to attack for a long time has already had a certain impact on morale!"

"I know, let's take a detour, let's head east, where the small fortress is much smaller than this city, and it is easier to capture, but we have to speed up, the battle report from the front has come back, considering the speed of the carrier pigeon, Rodrite's The vanguard should have gone almost half of the distance. I didn't expect that he could really take back Jianmen Castle so quickly. The guy under him is indeed very powerful, and has been pestering us for so long!

Send the order, the troops will dispatch tomorrow morning, march across the bridge in a hurry, and then go straight to Burgson Fort, we must speed up, if Rodritte's support troops block us, we will lose more than half of the initiative ! "

Mayweather leaned on his chin and said, his slightly old face was a bit gloomy, and he was also a little worried now. Aldridge's tenacious fighting power made him not as confident as he was at the beginning, and the tension had crept into him.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Mayweather's troops began to move out of camp. The defenders on the Strahan Wall immediately discovered the movement of Mayweather's army and went directly to Aldridge. reported.

The characteristics of the body make Aldridge need to eat and rest, but the demand is much smaller than that of ordinary people. He only needs to sleep for less than four hours a day to be energetic. It can last for nearly two weeks without sleep, without rest, without eating or drinking, before the body functions decline.

"My lord, the enemy army has withdrawn from the city!"

The messenger went to Aldridge who was practicing sword in the yard and said, Aldridge suddenly used force, and with a single sword, he cut the half-meter-thick wooden pile in front of him directly into two pieces, and then Aldridge took the long sword back Inside the sheath, he turned his head and said:

"They should have taken a detour to Fort Burgson. Fort Burgson is a small castle, and it is more difficult to resist their attack, although it will take nearly a week to travel.

Call the cavalry to assemble, I will take the cavalry and those soldiers to support, you continue to guard here, when I am away, Batum will be in charge of all matters in the city! "

After Aldridge finished speaking, he began to walk outside the castle. Because there were too many war horses, the stables in the castle could not fit, so most of the knights' mounts were placed in the stables near the city gate. His black Ray was there too.

Batum is a new nobleman promoted by Bernhard. Before that, he was just a wandering knight from a poor family. Later, when Ronan expanded his army, he joined Ronan's army and participated in several battles with the army. After achieving enough military exploits, he was favored by Bernhard, promoted to viscount, and asked him to lead the noble army to assist Aldridge in defending the north.

The troop assembled very quickly. After the troop was assembled, Aldridge didn't wait too long. After explaining a few words to the rushing Batum, he led the cavalry troops out of the city, and the ghoul lords followed closely behind. .

Batum, who is just 30 years old this year, is very young, with a neat beard, and his appearance is in line with the aesthetics of Gaoling women. In addition, he is a knight. Therefore, before joining the Ronan Army to seek development, he has been relying on good noble ladies. Living can be considered nourishing.

Batum admires the powerful Aldridge very much. He can be said to be obedient to Aldridge. He is a diehard fan of Aldridge. Learning one-handed sword and shield skills, he is very talented, but he has also learned a lot of sword skills that Aldridge gave him when Aldridge was still a templar.

Watching Aldridge leave, Batum looked serious. Strictly speaking, this was the first time he had personally commanded an army of more than 4,000 people, so he was still quite nervous. He was afraid that there would be no mistakes, so he secretly made up his mind. , we must guard the city well and not let Aldridge down.

Aldridge led the cavalry troop and galloped along Luanhe all the way, striving to reach the river crossing bridge in another territory before dark, and the ghoul lords were running fast behind them.

The ghoul lord's previous battles were all based on stability, basically moving step by step, but now wearing heavy armor and running wildly, the speed is no less than the horses of the cavalry. The most important thing is that they are not yet will be tired.

Aldridge got his wish and arrived at the river-crossing bridge in Modian before dark. This bridge has been built for more than a hundred years, but it still stands on the Luan River as before, and it is extremely strong.

The bridge deck is about ten meters wide and fifty meters long. It can accommodate six rows of cavalry to pass through at the same time, and the load-bearing capacity is also very strong. The caravan carriages pulling a lot of goods collectively passed over it without reaching its limit.

After crossing the bridge across the river, Aldridge took a rest in an abandoned outpost, mainly to let the cavalry who had been running around for a day rest.

Aldridge's distance to Fort Burgson is actually farther than Mayweather's, but he is all cavalry, and his speed is much faster than Mayweather's. No matter how fast Mayweather marches, two legs Some of them can't run on four legs, and it's not that the whole army is monsters like the ghoul lord. If it was true, Aldridge would have surrendered long ago, so there is no need to fight. Give Aldridge a thousand corpses Ghost Maharaja, he is sure to directly push Mayweather's Northern Kingdom.

After a night's rest, Aldridge continued to lead the troops towards Fort Burgson. His next road would be easier than Mayweather's, at least there would be no mountain roads.

After walking for a few more days, Aldridge finally arrived at Burgson Fort. At this time, only some local noble soldiers were stationed in Burgson Fort. After seeing the flag of Aldridge's army coming from the south, the city wall The officer directly ordered the door to be opened.

"My lord, what are you doing here?"

The owner of Burgson Fort said that the surrounding environment of Burgson Castle is not good. Although his territory is very large, there are basically no people. He can only survive by collecting tolls from passing caravans. Since the war, The way to do business here was cut off, and his life has not been very good. At this time, he is somewhat hopeful and a little apprehensive about Aldridge's arrival.

"It's nothing, it's just that Mayweather is about to attack, I'll help you defend!"

"ah?!!!"
