Riding and Slashing

Chapter 199 It's Not a Good Thing

Fawcett is clearly the worst of all the factions.

The supplies in Eagle Claw Fort were basically exhausted, morale was low, his hometown Lion Lake City was lost, and he was besieged by three forces—he couldn't beat any one of them.

After seeing the banner of the Lion Knights in the west, Fawcett also understood that Lion Lake City might not be taken back.

There is only one thought in his mind right now - to run away with his best family fortune.

This judgment is undoubtedly wise.

Right now, Kedron's remnant soldiers are fleeing in all directions, and the Raven's army is fighting with the Lion Knights. The Jatu people only care about taking advantage of Raven's barracks, and this is the best chance to escape.

But Fawcett also understood that if he directly told the soldiers that he was going to retreat, it might cause the already low morale to collapse directly...

Because the soldiers also knew that Lion Lake City was lost. Once they left Eagle Claw Fort, they would be a lone army without a base, and they were all rebels to both the Sarleon Kingdom and the Ravencrow Kingdom.

In this case, the best result may be that all the soldiers become deserters—as for the not-so-good result, I am afraid that some brave guy will use Fawcett's head to pay for his meritorious deeds ...

Besides, it was impossible for Fawcett to take everyone to evacuate. Those slow-moving infantry or wounded would definitely not be able to escape, and the Knights of the Lion were right next to them!
In order to ensure that he can run away by himself, it is best to let some people die and create some better opportunities-for example, completely disrupt the battlefield.

But under the current situation, I am afraid that no one is willing to break the back, and they can't even say that they want to retreat...

So Fawcett gave a deceitful speech to his soldiers inside Eagle Claw.

"Brothers, have you seen those Jatu people? Don't be afraid! They are friendly troops and they are here to help us! You have also seen that they have already occupied the camp of Ravencrow Kingdom!"

Fawcett waved his sword and made a picture of victory: "Brothers, now we face the best opportunity! Our enemies are fighting outside the city... I will open all the castles in a few minutes." Gate, everyone is ready, we are going to attack in an all-round way with our friendly forces! Everyone will attack, disrupt the battlefield, and then annihilate the enemies who are fighting outside in one fell swoop, we can counterattack back to Lion Lake City in one fell swoop! Cheers, brothers! I will bring you back Family!"

"Oh... oh... oh!"

Sometimes, deception can also greatly boost morale. Hearing that the huge Jatu army is a 'friendly army', the soldiers of Eagle Claw Fort really lifted their spirits.

If the Jiatu people were really allies, then they would attack in an all-round way, and it would be possible to defeat the Lion Knights and Ravens troops who were beating them to death at the same time!
Fawcett's speech was actually not too provocative, but he cleverly took advantage of the current situation to describe the Jatu people as "friendly troops" and his plan to run away as "the whole army attacked and brought the brothers home ', which is obviously in line with the wishes of the soldiers in Eagle Claw Fort.

Although the soldiers were a little surprised that the Jatu people would send such a large-scale 'friendly army', it also matched the actual situation of the Horton family all along—Duke Alma had cooperated with the Jatu people a lot...

From the soldiers' point of view, Fawcett was Alma's own son, so it seemed normal to be able to contact the Jatu people for help?
Thus, all the gates of Eagle Claw Fort opened at the same time, and more than 1000 soldiers rushed out with all the residents of Eagle Claw Fort, all rushing into the battlefield...

Yes, Fawcett's all-out attack is the kind that brings out the people living in Eagle Claw Fort - he is to make the scene more chaotic and easier to run.

And just as they rushed out, the Jatu people set fire to the camp of the Ravencrow army.

In fact, this is just the plundering habit of the Jatu people, but in the eyes of everyone, this really looks like a close cooperation-light a fire as a sign, and kill together?
No one expected that Fawcett's troops would abandon the city at this time.

No one expected that Fawcett would dare to let the troops lead the civilians to disrupt the battlefield at this time...

The situation of the battle was quite chaotic all of a sudden, and even the charging team of the Lion Knights was a little uncertain about the direction.

As for Fawcett himself, he didn't participate in the melee. He left the city from the south with several hundred elite family members and started running in the southwest direction—that is, the direction of Payne Village.

It stands to reason that the Ravencrow army is fighting fiercely with the Lion Knights in the west, and the Jatu army has just moved from the east to the north. In fact, the southeast should be the safest right now.

Moreover, in the southeast direction of Eagle Claw Fort, there are endless hills and hills, and there are many forests, and there is no man's land hundreds of miles behind.

As long as you hide in the hilly area, it will be difficult to find, this location was once occupied by many bandits and bandits - Liwa used to be a bandit in this place.

Fawcett was a native, and he actually knew the terrain.

But he still didn't go southeast, but withdrew to Payne Village in the southwest.

Because he has to tell a full set of lies, if he goes to no man's land, his subordinates will find out that they have been deceived, and maybe they will mutiny and kill him...

He has to run to the Lion Lake City area, which is like 'bringing the brothers home'.

This is a helpless choice - many times on the battlefield are very helpless.In such a battle situation, it is considered pretty good that Fawcett can find such a way of survival according to the changing circumstances.

It's also thanks to him not running to the southeast, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to escape - the lord's army is actually in the southeast grove at this moment...

And Fawcett's unexpected operation also forced Brennus to change his tactics helplessly.

Originally, the Knights of the Lions would surely have crushed the army of the Ravencrow Kingdom in a field battle—in fact, they had already been smashed to pieces now.

But Fawcett's large army had all left the city to join the chaotic battlefield at this time, which made Brennus quite nervous—he also thought that Fawcett and the Jatu people were in the same group.

Otherwise, how dare Fawcett abandon the city and deliberately disrupt the battlefield?

After all, it is in the best interest of Jatu cavalry to disrupt the battlefield.

Brennus also knew about Alma's Horton family cooperating with the Jatu people for a long time...

Therefore, even though the Lion Knights' previous rounds of charges had achieved results and gained the upper hand, Brennus still had to make a helpless decision—to give up chasing the Ravens and turn to deal with the Jatus.

After all, the Jatus had already set fire to the Ravencrow Kingdom's barracks, and it seemed that they were planning to rush into the battlefield as well...

In fact, these Jatu people just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get some spoils. Their supreme leader, the 'Destroyer' Juda, was not here, and they were actually not happy to fight any big melee.

But Fawcett's troops rushed out to disrupt the battlefield, and the Jatu people seemed to be ready to go. This scene really looked like the Jatu people and Fawcett teamed up to kill the Lion Knights and the Ravencrow Kingdom. The army looks like it has been wiped out...

So Brennus had to let the troops withdraw, he felt that he could no longer fight the Ravendrow army.

Right now, all members of the Lion Knights are on the battlefield, and Brennus is accompanied by the Royal Guards, which were originally a reserve team, ready to chase the Ravens at any time.

But now there is no need for the reserve team to enter the chaotic battlefield, so the Duke quickly made the most correct judgment-he blew the assembly call of the Lion Knights, and led the Royal City Guards to the Eagle Claw Fort rushed.

Blowing the assembly call at this time is actually to let the Lion Knights withdraw from the battlefield and let the troops of the Ravencrow Kingdom go.

The Duke of Brennus is also a veteran who has fought for a long time, and his decision is actually very smart.

Under the current situation, the Ravencrow Kingdom's barracks were burned, and the luggage must be gone, temporarily losing the ability to attack the city on a large scale.

The Jiatu people are all light cavalry, and they don't have the ability to attack the city.

The Lion Knights currently have the upper hand, so they will not be trapped and can come and go freely at any time.

Fawcett's troops rushed out of the city in large numbers. Now that the city gates are not closed, if they are faster, they may be able to rush directly into Eagle Claw Fort with the royal guards?

Anyway, the barracks of the Ravencrow army was burned by the Jatus, and they must fight to the death with the Jatus, and no matter who wins, they have no ability to attack the city...

In this way, you can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and let the Jatu people and Ravencrow Kingdom go all out...

Brennus's idea is quite good, but who knows, when he was charging towards Eagle Claw Fort, the Jatu people also started to charge Eagle Claw Fort...

The Jatu people saw Fawcett's troops leaving the city in large numbers, and the city gate was wide open. They had never encountered such an easy opportunity to enter the city to rob - of course they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity...

No one prevented the Jatu people from entering Eagle Claw Fort at all. After all, there was basically no one in the city.

So some Jatu people stayed near the Ravencrow Kingdom's military camp to sort out the looted supplies, ready to run away at any time.

Another group of Jatu people took the opportunity to enter Eagle Claw Fort and began to plunder the city.

In this case, Brennus rushed even faster - he thought that the Jatu people had seen through his judgment and were going to fight him for the city...

As for the Ravencrow Kingdom, the troops had just been attacked by the Lion Knights for a few rounds, and the formation was quite chaotic. The barracks were occupied by the Jatus again, and the supplies in the barracks were being looted.

Gregory IV was on the verge of despair, of course he realized that these Jatu people were not his allies, but his enemies.

Now the soldiers in the Eagle Claw Fort are fighting out again—Gregory IV feels that the situation is over, and everyone is an enemy... and facing the Lion Knights in the field, it is difficult to even escape!
He was even thinking about surrendering.

But at this time, he suddenly discovered that the Lion Knights retreated at this time, and quickly withdrew from the battlefield!

This feeling is the resurrection of the Jedi, Gregory IV almost burst into tears...

He now felt that the Duke of Brennus was a real nobleman with a sense of honor. When he faced the Jatu people, he let himself go. This was obviously his intention to fight Jatu with him!
Although this was a misunderstanding, Gregory IV was right to have this idea.

Most of Brennus's thoughts now are indeed on the Jatu people.

In the past few years, the Lion Kingdom and the Ravencrow Kingdom had indeed cooperated against the Jatu people-no matter how the two countries fought, when facing these Jatu looters, they would indeed have a common enemy attitude.

Gregory IV also knew that it would be best to capture Eagle Claw Fort right now, but his troops had just been disrupted and needed to be regrouped, so it was probably too late to rush to settle in Eagle Claw Fort.

So Gregory IV Rick regrouped his army and launched an attack on the Jatus who occupied their own barracks.

The Jiatu people set fire to the barracks, originally it was just the behavior of looters...

But in this way, it is tantamount to driving the Ravencrow people into a desperate situation, and the Ravencrow army lost all their supplies and supplies!

This is an expedition of thousands of miles. Even if it is just for survival, the Ravencrow army must kill these Jatu people - they want to get back the supplies and take away the Jatu people's horses, otherwise they may not be able to go back...

As a result, the shape of this battlefield has finally evolved into what the lord expected at this time...

The troops of the Ravencrow Kingdom were looking for the Jatu people desperately. The Jatu cavalry obviously wanted to retreat, but a small group of Ravencrow cavalry desperately held them back and had to fight a big battle.

And Brennus led the guards of the royal city to fight with another part of the Jatu people on the street in Eagle Claw Fort, and the fight was indistinguishable.

The Lion Knights did not enter the city, and these heavy knights were not suitable for street fighting in the city, so Brennus asked them to clean up the rebel soldiers outside the city—the ones who were deceived by Fawcett, and they were together with the civilians killed.

Killing the rebels has been the "job" of the Lion Knights for ten years.

Everyone is not idle...

"Brothers, dispatch! Advance to Eagle Claw Fort!"

After the scouts confirmed that all the forces had been fully involved in the battle, Li Ang led the troops and began to march towards Eagle Claw Fort.

"Li Ang, how can you be sure that they will fight the Jatu people in the end?"

Amy was following the lord, and she was a little curious. Li Ang just asked Ren's Raven Rider to stimulate Brennus, but why did the situation on the battlefield become like this, was it all expected?

If this can be expected, it is too terrible.

"I'm not sure... Who knows what will happen in the end... I only know that several hostile forces are here, as long as one of them is stimulated a little, most of them will fight each other-no matter who they fight at the beginning, No matter what the end result is, anyway, as long as I am the last one to appear, I can control the situation..."

Li Ang looked at the Eagle Claw Fort in front of him, shook his head and said with a smile: "Besides, no matter which country's army, they will definitely not let the Jatu people have the last laugh. The probability that they will fight the Jatu people at the same time is the greatest. Yes. Amy, I didn't expect all of this, but in terms of probability, such an outcome is the easiest to occur..."

"After all, the Jatu people have no order at all. They are just destroying and killing. The war between countries may not be just, but at least they are lawful countries...Jatu is a pure looter, In the end, of course, it will become the target of everyone's common attack..."

Vendatil next to him also nodded. The Noldor elves have a blood feud with the Jatu people for more than 100 years, and the Noldor are even more active than the Rangers now.

"My lord! The Knights of the Lion...they...are massacring civilians!"

Raphael in front interrupted their conversation with a panicked and fierce voice.

"It seems that the Knights of the Sarleon Kingdom are not lawful..."

Vendatil frowned and shook his head.

"A group of bastards, all of them are not good things... The whole army... Forget it! We can't save those civilians now... The whole army turns around, let's go east, don't join the battlefield yet!"

Li Ang's originally smiling face gradually became gloomy.

At this time, the troops had arrived at a position about two miles away from Eagle Claw Fort, and they could already see the Lion Knights killing wantonly on the west side of Eagle Claw Fort—the Lion Knights were killing all the people outside the city indiscriminately.

Half of them are probably indeed rebels, but the other half are civilians of Eagle Claw Fort.

But at this distance, it is indeed impossible to save those civilians. By the time they arrive, they will probably be dead.

Li Ang's complexion was quite bad. He let out a long breath and gritted his teeth: "Come with me! We will cooperate with the Ravencrow Kingdom to stop the Jatu people from the east and force the Jatu people into the city!"

A thousand elites followed the banner of the golden griffin on a black background and rushed to the east of Eagle Claw Fort.

The lord led his mixed troops to join the battle between the Ravencrow Kingdom and the Jatu people from the east, but instead of charging to kill the enemy, he ordered all the staff to shoot from a long distance, trying to push the Jatu people to Eagle Claw Fort. direction.

The Jatu people gradually gathered their troops together, and they recognized this army—this was the army they had been chasing all day and night!

However, the Jatu people were unwilling to get close to Li Ang's strange army at this time - they followed after them before, but fell into the battlefield. At this time, this army appeared again, maybe there is something wrong...

Therefore, the Jatu people feel that they cannot be fooled, and it is best not to attack that strange army.

Moreover, the Jatu people made a very clever decision at this time. They forcibly broke away from the battle with the Ravencrow Kingdom, gathered the whole army, and began to garrison Eagle Claw Fort in a large scale!

Their thinking is probably similar to that of Brennus - no one is suitable for attacking the city now, so it is safest to occupy the castle.

This was also the reason why Li Ang was able to force them into Eagle Claw Fort. The troops of the Ravencrow Kingdom and Li Ang's troops were sandwiched between the east and the west, and the Jatu people would suffer a lot if they continued to fight.

And to the north is the inner sea of ​​Lion Lake, with no way to go.

Going south to the city is the wisest choice. If they control the city, it is very likely that all the troops outside will be dragged to death. The Jatu people just grabbed the supplies from the Ravencrow Kingdom, and they can last for several days.

And the various forces outside the city do not have the ability to attack the city in a short period of time.

At this time, the Knights of the Lions had completely cleaned up all the 'rebels' outside the city, and created more than [-] corpses on the west side of Fort Eagle Claw, half of them were civilians...

At this moment, Brennus has also discovered the troops of the Lord Lord.

Of course he knew Li Ang's golden griffin flag on a black background. Since it was the army of the lord of the Sarleon Kingdom, it was of course a friendly army for Brennus.

However, it is not convenient to say hello on the battlefield, and a large number of Jatu people are entering Eagle Claw Fort from the north gate, so Brennus must stay in the city to supervise the battle.

So he erected the marshal's banner on the tower of Eagle Claw Fort, and blew the calling call—this was to ask Li Ang to join him in the city, and at the same time, he also asked the Lion Knights to enter Eagle Claw Fort to assist in the defense.

Brennus can't hold on relying on the Royal City Guard alone now...there are too many Jatu people, the street fighting in the city is quite fierce, and the Royal City Guard has lost a lot.

Brennus is now Lord Marshal of the Sarleon Kingdom, and he should be calling the shots.

The Lion Knights immediately began to enter the city from the west gate when the calling call sounded.

The lord also heard the call, but he did not obey the military order.
