Arad's Sword

Chapter 122 Capture of Flowing Water County

Day six of the raid.

The sun at dawn pierced the gloomy sky, spreading out from the horizon like a golden tide, illuminating the icy ground, and covering the cheerfully flowing Dame River with a layer of sparkling gauze. It looks picturesque.

It's just that the soldiers of the Black Flame Legion didn't have the time to appreciate such a beautiful scenery.Because they must seize every minute and every second now, and evacuate as quickly as possible before the arrival of the first legion "Golden Branch" recognized by the Principality of Bel Mare.

When the flag representing the Black Flame Legion, with pale flames burning on the black background, finally withdrew from Liushui County under the leadership of the mighty team, a burst of depression finally erupted in the raiding team in the distance. long cheers.

Whether it is an adventurer or a soldier with a golden branch, all of them are full of ecstatic expressions.At this moment, they are no longer independent individuals who are testing and doubting each other, and are full of estrangements, but because of this battle, this victory has become a whole, and everyone is smiling.

It actually did it, with 2000 people captured Liushui County, where 2 people were stationed!
Cheers resounded through the sky, even the retreating Black Flame Legion was aware of it.General Scar looked at the banner embroidered with three golden lions in the distance, imagining the mocking smiles of those enemies, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, his eyes were full of angry resentment, but he didn't attack after all The command.

If it was another trap and accidentally trapped 2 people here, he would not dare to imagine the consequences.After all, the main force of Jinzhi is only half a day away from here.

Therefore, the Black Flame Legion could only keep a low profile, ignoring the enemies right in front of them, and retreating slowly all the way.

Midi didn't intend to stop the opponent. With the number of people on his side, it was impossible to hold them back.The only thing that can be done is to send scouts behind the tail to understand its movements.

"The adventurer team sent a few good men to follow the Black Flame Legion, monitor its movements and report at any time. The cavalry team entered the city with me." Midi issued the order calmly. This time, there was nothing surprising, " It's time for Hamilton's flag to return to this land."

However, these plain words caused another commotion in the raiding team.

At the thought of taking back the county with their own hands, even the extremely disciplined Golden Branch cavalry were overflowing with excitement at the moment.

Only an army that pursues victory has cohesion.The performance of his subordinates made Midi smile slightly.However, such a record is a matter of course for him.

Because from the very beginning, Midi had already seen through the root of this five-day battle.

That is the value of Flowing Water County itself.

For the Seth family, Flowing Water County is an offensive platform, not a defensive fortress.Its most critical value lies in the strong transportation capacity of the canal. This ability makes up for the disadvantage of Seth's inconvenient transportation in Hamilton's territory, and allows them to quickly gather troops and a large amount of supplies, thus becoming a completely nailed ship. Wooden stakes in enemy territory.

What would have happened in these five days without Midi's surprise attack?
A batch of troop carriers every day can transport 1 soldiers for the Black Flame Legion, and [-] soldiers in five days.

A batch of material ships every other day can provide about a month's worth of food and consumption for the legion, and five days is five months.

At that time, when the Golden Branch Legion arrives here, they will face a powerful enemy with a strength of [-], comparable to their own, with sufficient supplies, and waiting for work in Liushui County.

Of course, the Golden Branch Legion with the highest combat effectiveness in the Principality of Bel Mare may still be able to win the final victory, but compared to the current situation, the price to be paid is much higher.After all, they didn't make perfect preparations, they just responded to the battle hastily.

But now, under the interference of Midi's endless variety, even insanity, for four of the five days, the value of Flowing Water County has been completely contained.Although the raid did not bring much visible results in the past few days, the delay in itself was enough to completely put the Seth family's strategic plan on hold.

You know, when the Black Flame Legion was in a state of desperation, the Hamilton family's military buildup never stopped.Under the ebb and flow, if the strength of the troops does not increase, it is tantamount to failure.

But now, in the face of the main force of the Golden Branch Legion that has been assembled, Liushui County, which has failed to exert its value in troop delivery, has lost the meaning of sticking to it.

For the nobles who are used to measuring everything by the value of interests, what kind of choices they will make can be imagined with their knees.

It is precisely because he understands the meaning of the existence of Liushui County, has seen the way to destroy this meaning, and knows that the Black Flame Legion can contain very few means, so Midi dared to say that he will capture Liushui County with [-] to [-].

This is not a head-to-head confrontation, nor is it really two thousand against twenty thousand.Instead, with the help of the [-] main force of the Golden Branch Legion, they forced the Black Flame Legion, which had lost the weight of its troops, to retreat.

What Midi did was to try to remove those weights.Everything is the result of step-by-step calculation and execution.

Just when the Hamilton family's coat of arms flag embroidered with three golden lions was flying again at the highest point of the clock tower in Flowing Water County, the main force of the Golden Branch Army, with 3 people, was slowly approaching here.

"Hmph, I don't know what our genius guardian knight did with two thousand cavalry." A general looked at the neat queue under his command complacently, and couldn't help laughing.

"What can you do? I just hope that he won't be so eager for merit, and bury our elite Hamilton in meaningless battles." Another young general took up the conversation with a sneer, "Those cavalry are not worth much. Fei, it's not a small family like Asrex's miscellaneous soldiers, and I don't know what our dear commander is thinking..."

"That's enough. We are soldiers. Don't talk too much like the nobles. For soldiers, the only thing that matters is victory." Clark, the leader of the Golden Branch Legion, finally spoke. , So, all the controversy died down.

Of course, Clark didn't have any affection for Midi, but, in the eyes of a soldier like him, thousands of words are nothing compared to the real facts.

Sneering and sarcasm, open and dark arrows, those are tricks played by the nobles, and soldiers should prove everything with their achievements and scars!When the army arrives in Liushui County, everything will be resolved naturally.

You know, Midi's words of "Taking Liushui County within two days" have already spread throughout the Golden Branch Army.Some admire, some ridicule, some support, and some oppose, but no matter what their mentality is, from generals to knights to soldiers, no one thinks that Midi can really achieve that goal.

There are only 2000 people in the area, or [-] cavalry, and only five days, what can they do in the face of [-] enemy troops stationed in a city with walls and towers?

And when Midi, the guardian knight acting as the head of the family, the so-called genius commander, becomes a joke in front of everyone, Fina? Hamilton's dominance will surely come to an end, right?
At that time, it will be the time for the Golden Branch Legion to truly show its value in front of the nobles and win their respect again.

Thinking of this, Clark couldn't help but glanced at the red-haired girl in the formation who was dressed all over her body like a Valkyrie.

Looking forward to it, he saw a trace of uneasiness on the girl's face.However, soon, he was disappointed, because Fina's expression was as bright and sunny as ever, as if she had never considered the problems that would arise after Midi's wild words were exposed.

This is your guardian knight making a fool of himself!
And still with your wanton indulgence and support!

Clark couldn't understand why Fina, who fully supported Midi's mischief, was still so calm at this moment?Did she really think that the boy who had just won a few small victories in an earldom could gain any advantage in this situation?
The only thing the leader of the Golden Branch Legion thinks highly of himself can guess is that Fina and Midi will shirk all responsibilities in a clever way.

In this way, you can let out wild words without taking any risks, so you can be so calm, right?

What nonsense!This is war, not some noble play!

Clark couldn't help but sighed deeply in his heart, and made up his mind that when he arrived in Flowing Water County, he must take the initiative to show Midi some color.

Of course, the premise is that Midi is not stupid enough to really attack Liushui County, otherwise, the only thing that can be seen is his corpse and two thousand cavalrymen.

Time flies, the army marched hurriedly for half a day, and finally saw the shadow of the town on the horizon in the distance.

In addition, under the sun, the sparkling and fast-flowing Daim River, which ran through the north and south of the Principality of Bel Mare, finally rolled up in front of everyone's eyes like a blue silk.

The enemy was right in front of them, and the generals of the Golden Branch Army suddenly became serious.

After all, they are out-and-out soldiers. Once they set foot on the battlefield, they have nothing but victory.As for Midi being treated as a joke, it has been left behind at this moment.

The flags were flying, the horns were sounding, and the army quickly changed from marching formation to attacking formation. The whole process was orderly and flawless, fully demonstrating the quality of the Belmare First Legion.

At the same time, a considerable number of the scouts who had been sent out a long time ago also began to return.

The first to ride is the captain of the scout centurion.

This extremely experienced high-ranking scout rode his horse all the way to the front of the central army, then dismounted and went to the command position where the generals were.

"How's the situation?" Clark asked bluntly.

The scout captain first gave a military salute to Fina and Clark, then paused, and then replied in a slightly trembling voice: "Liu Shui County has been captured by Lord Midi."

"What!" Almost at the same time, all the generals shouted in unison.

　It's Monday again, ball recommendation ticket, ball monthly ticket!
