Riding and Slashing

Chapter 208 The idea of ​​the dead?

Changhe Town.

The lord saw the smiles on Grandlon and Fawcett's faces.

I also saw a huge fishing net falling from the sky.

In the city, there have been quite a few ambushes.

Grand Long's Lion Lake City Banner Guard appeared on the front street, and the elite who had followed Fawcett out of Eagle Claw Castle also came from both sides.

Grandlon and Fawcett, Duke Alma's son-in-law and son, actually want to copy Alma's trick to capture Godric?
But Li Ang, whose retreat was blocked by the city gate, did not stop.

There was even a mocking smile on Li Ang's face.

"Blow the horn! Shoot the arrow!"

The lord yelled, and then accelerated again on his horse, heading straight towards the direction where Grandlon and Fawcett were.

"Ambush me? Who doesn't have an ambush?"

That's right, who hasn't had an ambush yet? Ge Langlong didn't close Changhe Town, and the bodyguards of Changhe Express had already received orders to ambush in the city a few hours ago.

If there is no ready manpower in Changhe Town, the lord will not dare to approach Changhe Town with just such a few people...

In fact, Li Ang really didn't expect that Grand Long could put aside their previous suspicions and form an alliance with Fawcett.

But, want to deal with Leon the way Duke Alma dealt with Godric?
Godric came with Leon, and he himself was just a few miles away...

When he was caught by fishing nets in Changhe Town, Godric certainly mentioned it to Li Ang, and he said it an hour ago.

There is someone who has been duped beside him, how could Li Ang fall into the same ambush?

Besides, Alma was fully armed back then, and he didn't dare to get close to the powerful Godric...

But Grandlon and Fawcett were only tens of meters away from Li Ang!

And they were neither riding horses nor wearing armor at this moment - they couldn't run or fight, but they closed the city gate...

If the fishing net failed to trap Li Ang, then it probably shouldn't be said that they locked Li Ang in the city. It seems that they locked themselves and Li Ang together?

Although the city gate behind the lord was closed, it did not prevent the troops from blowing their horns.

At the same time, the Noldo guards who followed Li Ang into the city all shot silvery Noldo arrows!

The heavy cavalry from Lion Lake City on the front fell dozens of men and horses under a wave of arrows, and the heavy cavalry in the front line fell into a row on the street!
At the same time, there was a lot of killing in the city, and the bodyguards of Changhe Express rushed out from three directions at the same time, but they caught Grandlong and Fawcett by surprise—the bodyguards came out from behind their troops , Eric swung his long sword and rushed to the first one.

The smiles on their faces disappeared instantly.

Now, it seems that Li Ang's troops surrounded them?

Moreover, before the huge fishing net fell on Li Ang's head, Li Ang had already rushed to a distance of only 30 meters from them.

Now the fishing net did fall, but it was crushed almost instantly by a dozen sharp blades lifted from Li Ang's side, basically no effective hindrance was formed, and Li Ang was still charging with a small piece of broken fishing net hanging on his body, and the horse didn't care much. stop.

What to do in the face of fishing nets falling from the sky?
Cut off...

As long as the weapon is sharp enough and the mentality is stable enough to cut while charging, the fishing net cannot cover people.

But it’s not enough to stand stupidly. If you really wait to fall and wrap yourself, people will tighten the net rope. At that time, if your hands and feet are bound, you can’t cut it if you want.

As long as the people who enter the city are mentally prepared, this kind of tactic of covering people with fishing nets is actually not so easy to use, and this is not a steel wire net.

Besides, the guards around Li Ang are all Noldor rangers with nimble skills and sharp blades, they are not the kind of slow and clumsy iron cans...

"Surrender, or die!"

While yelling, Li Ang continued to rush towards Grand Long and Fawcett who were turning around, and threw aside a small piece of broken net hanging on their bodies.

Li Ang didn't get off his horse at all, the spacious streets of Changhe Town were enough for a horse to run.

In fact, the Lion Lake City heavy cavalry on the opposite side were also riding horses, but they couldn't charge at this time.

The lord asked the Noldor rangers to shoot the arrows immediately, just to shoot and kill the heavy cavalry in the front row, so that the unowned horses and corpses could block the opponent's charge.

Although the streets are spacious, they are not plains after all. Dozens of corpses are enough to make the heavy cavalry unable to run for a while.

As long as these heavy cavalry fail to speed up and form a charging state in the first place, they will no longer be able to run later, because the Noldor rangers will create more and more corpses...

The Noldor Rangers who had just fought in the street fighting in Eagle Claw Fort knew how to hinder the enemy. The Noldor Rangers in the back row had already dismounted their horses consciously, and jumped onto the roof in two or three strokes.

In fact, the Noldor rangers prefer to fight on foot most of the time, because their equipment is light and their skills are flexible enough.Although they all know how to ride horses, riding horses tends to limit their advantages.

Besides, they are not good at using pole weapons, and they will only fight on horseback when they need to ride and shoot.

Superb archery, lightness of load, agility of foot, and quickness of foot, these are the real advantages of the rangers of the Noldor.

Just like now, the Noldor went up to the roof very lightly to occupy a favorable position, but the armored archers under Fawcett had no plans to go up to the roof at all-they didn't dare to go up, and they could easily step on the air and fall down.

This is the benefit of light weight and flexible steps...

The weight of Noldo's equipment is half that of a human archer. The weight of the whole body including the underwear is only 32 pounds-this is still counting the [-] arrows in the quiver. There are eight pounds.

The battle suits of the Noldor rangers are very strange. It is a set of rune armor weighing only a dozen pounds. It is clearly cloth armor, but it has the defensive power of plate armor and the cushioning effect of cloth armor-this is the enchantment. equipment.

In addition, their swords, shields, and bows are relatively light, and they wear hoods on their heads, so the whole set is quite light.

Moreover, all the Noldor elves are slender and thin, and they are not big.

Even if it is a male Noldo, it will weigh at most 150 pounds including the man and the equipment-this is the relatively strong kind.Lisa Dilan is considered to be the strongest among the Noldor, but he only weighs 120 pounds and 55 kilograms when he is not carrying a load.

Certainly this is too light a constitution for a man-grown man, but all the Noldor are like that, and the Noldor have great strength in their leanness.

Probably this is caused by the environment. They often appear in virgin forests and need to jump up and down the branches of big trees. It is really inconvenient to be too heavy.

With a light load and flexible skills, and he was used to fighting on the rickety branches, it is naturally extremely easy to get on the roof now.

But human fighters are not so convenient. The average human archer has at least more than 200 pounds in total including the man and equipment-only a strong man with enough strength can become a qualified archer. After all, the weight of the equipment is there.

Moreover, it is difficult for Men to learn the light steps of the Noldor.

Therefore, it is very difficult for humans to fight on the roof. The load-bearing capacity of the roof these days is not very good. A few wooden beams are covered with planks or terracotta tiles. If you are not careful, you will definitely step on a big hole and fall. go……

But the rangers of Noldor have been accustomed to walking on trees since they were young, and they have naturally formed extremely light footsteps over the past hundred years. As long as it is theoretically able to bear their weight, Noldor can basically move freely on it. action.

This gave the Noldor Rangers a great advantage in places with complex terrain-the terrain could not restrict them at all.

As we all know, a battle, if there is a favorable location, is basically half won.

If there is another personal tie, then the victory is basically guaranteed.

Now the ground was in place--the rangers of the Noldor were in a high vantage point, and the escorts were behind the enemy.

There are also people and peace. Changhe Town is Li Ang's home field, and he belongs to the crusade against rebellion. The local nobles and commoners will support him.In addition, if this battle is fought for a while longer, Godric will find that something is wrong, and he will definitely come to reinforce.

As for the weather... there is no need, anyway, there are no enemies.

"Surrender, or die!"

Seeing that Li Ang was about to rush forward, Grandlon and Fawcett could only step back step by step, the expressions on their faces all collapsed.

They didn't expect Li Ang to stop in front of the fishing net, nor did they expect that there was such a large and well-equipped army in the city.

"Wait! Li Ang! You don't want to end up hurting both sides, do you?!"

Fawcett yelled, turned around and took a few steps back, waving his hands.

He knew Li Ang's skill - after all, he was captured by Li Ang once, and he knew that he couldn't escape or beat him, so his reaction was obviously much faster than Grand Long's.

And Grandlon glanced at Fawcett with some suspicion, hesitated for a moment, and slowed down his pace a little.

"Make your troops lay down their arms!"

While shouting, Li Ang galloped his horse past Fawcett, and directly caught up with Grandlon.

"Ah! I surrender..."

Grand Long glanced back, Li Ang's sword had already been raised, so Grand Long knelt down on the ground without hesitation, and raised his hand.

Both are heroes who know current affairs.

This well-arranged ambush ended quickly and hastily.

Both leaders surrendered, and of course their troops could not hold out to the end.

"Fawcett, tell me, what do you think? Didn't you defect to Ursula, why are you still doing things in Changhe Town?"

Li Ang grabbed one with each hand, and dragged Fawcett and Grandlon to the root of the city wall for interrogation on the spot.

"Ursula? Ha... She and Kedron entrapped me together! Throw me in Eagle Claw Castle to resist the army of the Ravencrow Kingdom... I even want her life now..."

Fawcett gritted his teeth when he heard Ursula's name.

"Oh? And this thing? I thought it was you who captured Kedron's Eagle Claw Fort... Then where did Kedron go?"

Li Ang really didn't know about such a thing. Brennus didn't mention it when he was in Eagle Claw Fort, and Li Ang had never seen Kedron, so he only knew that there was such a person.

"Who knows...if I find him, I'll have to kill him..."

"That's right, Kedron is the real bastard..."

Grand Long also scolded at the side.

"Okay, let's explain your business first, I hope you can live long enough to kill him."

Li Ang frowned, it seems that these two guys came together again because of the same hatred...

In fact it is.

After leaving the battlefield of Fort Eagle Claw, Grandlon and Fawcett went to the same place one after another—Payne Village.

These two people are indeed familiar with the terrain around Lion Lake City, even the running routes are similar.

They had rescued each other in Fort Eagle Claw before, and after they met now, both of them were yelling at Kedron. This common enemy really made them feel like they are "the same people who have fallen into the end of the world".

In fact, they don't have much enmity with each other - if you really want to talk about murdering your wife, it's really out of the question. If Grand Long really has such deep feelings for Nelda, he will start a mutiny in Lion Lake City the...

What led to their conflict was nothing more than a lack of security for both of them—Fawcett killed Nilda and captured Lion Lake City, so of course he would want to kill Grand Long to avoid increasing hidden dangers, and of course Grand Long can't sit still...

But now that Lion Lake City has been lost, the two of them calmed down instead. When they communicated with each other, they both felt that they had been tricked by Kedron. Kedron had no good intentions from the beginning.

So the two decided not to kill each other until Kedron was killed.

And their own current situation is not very good.

It goes without saying that Fawcett is a traitor, and Grandlon used the king's seal to trick Godric into taking Longhe Town, and he also knew that he would inevitably face the pursuit of the kingdom.

So they decided to cooperate and plan to go to Changhe Town first, at least to survive first.

Later, they met an acquaintance in Changhe Town, who gave them an idea to set a trap in Changhe Town.

He asked Grandlon to act with Fawcett in the same way he had tricked Li Ang in front of the city gate.

It was the same rhetoric that Grandlon used to say - claiming that he did not commit treason, but only captured the rebel leader Fawcett and regained the golden seal for the king.But the gold seal can only be handed over to the king, so he has been waiting for the king to come to take over Changhe Town in person.If anyone dares to attack, burn down Changhe Town and let the city be buried with it.

This set of rhetoric failed to scare Li Ang, because it was not prepared for Li Ang - this set of rhetoric was originally prepared for Brennus.

They did not expect that Li Ang would attack Changhe Town.

The two of them ran away before Li Ang launched an attack on Fort Eagle Claw. They only learned from the news that Li Ang and Brennus had wiped out five thousand Jatus together and repelled the Ravencrow army.

But he didn't know that Li Ang could command the Noldor Elves, and he didn't know that Li Ang still had so many troops in the city...

From their point of view, there are Lion Lake City Banner Guards and Fawcett's troops in Changhe Town, plus nearly [-] elite troops.

Although the more than 500 newly recruited mercenaries sneaked away a few days ago, even so, only Brennus or the king himself should be able to capture the city in the Sarleion Kingdom.

And it was indeed Eagle Claw Fort that Brennus led the team to before.

In fact, their judgment was correct. The main force of the rebellion arranged by King Ulrik was indeed the Duke of Brennus. Brennus originally planned to raise his own thieves in Changhe Town, so he arranged an undercover agent in advance.

But now, Brennus made a deal with Li Ang, and then let the undercover go to scrape the land in Lion Lake City, and it was Li Ang who came to Changhe Town.

In fact, even their ambush in the city was not originally planned for Li Ang.

If Brennus came—even if the duke captured Changhe Town, he would not benefit himself, and Changhe Town could not be granted to him, so he had no reason to forcibly attack the city to waste his troops.

If you don't attack the city, you won't enter the city, and the fishing nets and ambushes they set up are not for Brennus.

Sooner or later, Brennus will definitely have someone notify the king and urge the king to come to receive it in person—Changhe Town is directly under the king's jurisdiction, and the king's seal must always be withdrawn.

Ulrik would be able to take back the king's seal and resolve the rebellion with a single trip. This is actually a good deal, and Ulrik himself would probably not refuse.

Then Grandlon and Fawcett would act again in the city, capturing the King in an ambush!

"...That's it. We didn't expect you to come, but after seeing your flag, we have to try to see if we can stop you. But we found that you don't have many troops, and your attitude is very firm. It seems that you can't be fooled. That's why I deliberately let you charge, I wanted to grab you by force first... I didn't expect you to have an ambush in the city..."

After Fawcett finished talking about the plan, his face was full of bitterness.

Although Grandlon's rhetoric seems a bit crude, if it is used on Brennus, it might really be effective, because Brennus didn't intend to take down Changhe Town. Nothing.

He originally wanted to collude with the inside and outside to scrape the ground.

So Brennus might try to blackmail a fortune first, or let the undercover rob Longhe Town, but in any case, after he gets enough benefits, he will probably let the king go.

It's a pity that Brennus didn't come, but Li Ang...

Only Li Ang will not be fooled by his rhetoric, because Li Ang is a rebel, and the rebel territory he recovered independently can be legally occupied.

If Li Ang conquers Changhe Town, King Ulrik will at most just find someone to share Li Ang's power, or increase the tax requirements of Changhe Town, but it will not let Li Ang get nothing, otherwise he will not be a good king .

Only Li Ang will really capture Changhe Town...

"Are you trying to capture the king and go to another country? But if that's the case, no country on this continent would dare to accept you... Who gave you such a bad idea?"

Hearing these two people talk about this crude but somewhat feasible plan, Li Ang was a little puzzled—to arrest the king, any country would regard them as enemies once this happened.

Which king dares to accept a lord who has captured the king and defected to him?Are you not afraid that you will fall into the same situation in the future?
"No, it's not defecting to other countries... but Alan Rick... His Royal Highness will sign a pact of immunity with us."

Fawcett shook his head: "We also understand that if King Ulrik is really captured and defected to other countries, he will definitely die in a short time."

This is indeed doable.

If they could capture the king, their negotiating partner would become Prince Aranric.

Because, Prince Alanric is likely to ascend the throne immediately because the king was captured by the rebels...

It is indeed possible to exonerate them by exchanging King Ulrik for Prince Alanrik's amnesty, as long as they do not harm Ulrik at all.

As long as Alanrick is willing to sign a pact of immunity with them, the two rebels will not only survive, but will not lose their noble status.

Catching people with fishing nets is indeed a reasonable way that will not harm Ulrik at all.

And after Ulrik was captured and released, it would definitely be impossible to regain the throne.

It was a good plan for Prince Alanric to ascend to the throne without hurting his father.

"Aranric, that makes sense... Who gave you the idea? Is this guy in the city?"

Li Ang understood, and asked about the messenger behind the scenes.

"Igor, Grand Master Igor, but he is not here now, saying that he is going back to Lion City to prepare the contract."

Grandlon explained.

"How is this possible! Igor is dead! I killed it! How could the dead give you advice?"

Li Ang's face changed drastically - Igor was shot to death in Qicha Fortress, right in front of him!

Wenda Dier and Wendifu two masters shot together!
One arrow pierced through the chest, and the other hit the throat, both of which were fatal, and he was out of breath on the spot, how could he still be alive? !
