Chapter 174
Franky was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.

Fortunately, he had sworn to himself just now, telling himself with certainty that no reinforcements would come from the other side.How long has it been before you run in a panic and say that the enemy's reinforcements are approaching?

Fortunately, Franky is used to being cautious, and the generals in Taranto are always forgetful, and there will be troubles from time to time, which makes it difficult for him to be completely at ease.The reconnaissance and alert before the war was personally arranged by him.Therefore, when the enemy's cavalry suddenly appeared 50 miles away, they were discovered immediately and the news was sent back.

If this matter is left to the generals of Taranto, it may be the same as what happened to General John just now. When the enemy has killed him in front of his battle line, he will be at a loss and rush to deal with it.

Franky already knew the existence of this cavalry, but the time of arrival was at least a day or two at night.By the time they arrived here, everything had already been settled, and nothing could be undone.

In fact, Franky had some plans that he did not tell the Duke of Keqishi, that is, if all went well, he would also swallow the expected enemy reinforcements.

This appetite was a bit too much. Considering the psychological endurance of Duke Keqishi, Franky did not tell him the truth.Besides, he didn't have much confidence in this part of the plan, so it would be better not to say anything, and it would not be too late to explain when the situation became clear.

But no matter how the situation changes, at most it will be missing a icing on the cake. In any case, it should not interfere with the part of defeating and surrendering the Aberdeen counter-insurgency army!
Unexpectedly, the general sent early to track and monitor the movement of the support army made a fatal mistake, was tricked by the other party somehow, and rushed to the battlefield at this juncture in advance.

One mistake, the whole board is lost!

Franky waved his hand angrily, and the officer was immediately thrown seven to eight feet away, knocking down countless debris along the way.

The early arrival of enemy reinforcements turned the situation upside down.Now it was Franky's turn to have a headache and worry.

Suddenly his eyes showed murderous intent, and his heart became ruthless.

It has become impossible to take down the entire Aberdeen army according to the original plan. In this case, there is no need to worry about anything anymore. Completely defeating the opponent can be regarded as a little interest.

The reinforcements are still 50 miles away, and it will take some time to rush over.As long as you do your best...

Frankie shook his head immediately, and his eyes dimmed.

The other party obviously also received the news. Anthony's change of formation just now was entirely to strengthen the defense, and it was a targeted defense for himself to give it a go.

That's not to say that it can defend against Taranto's sharp offensive, otherwise the boy wouldn't need to be a rascal before.But as long as the difficulty of the attack is increased, so that Taranto cannot make a quick decision, Frankie will have to choose to retreat.

Thoughtful, watertight!

Franky couldn't help but admire this young opponent secretly.

But Anthony seems to have forgotten that Taranto still has an army of powerful magicians...

Franky was about to give an order when, out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to catch a figure jumping off the platform of the Aberdeen Central Command.

As soon as it landed, a majestic murderous aura shot up into the sky.

The man walked towards the place where the two armies were fighting step by step, walking very slowly.But every time he took a step, the murderous aura that seemed to be real became more solidified and stronger.It was like a huge azure blue ice sword piercing the heaven and earth. Before it could make a shocking blow, just a trace of chill leaked out, which made ordinary people feel numb in their hands and feet, and cold in their whole body.

"Azure Sword Master" Carton!
Frankie turned his head and glanced at the Duke of Keqishi beside him, and the middle-aged man in black who was always following him like a shadow, then shook his head and gave up the plan in his heart.

Forget it, at this juncture, Taranto really can't afford it.

That kid has a careful mind and has considered all aspects. It seems that he is destined to not get any advantage this time.

Let yourself be careful in every possible way, be extremely vigilant, and always be careful not to fall into the trap of the other party.Unexpectedly, it was only at the end that he suddenly realized that he had fallen into the pit that the opponent had already dug.

The young man never expected to turn the situation around on the battlefield, but kept stalling for time, waiting for help from forces outside the battlefield.

He succeeded.

Franky should have figured that out.

After all, the situation is extremely favorable for Taranto. No matter how capable Anthony is, Frankie is not mediocre, and it is absolutely impossible for him to win the game.All Aberdeen can count on is help from outside the battlefield.

But the young man is really capable of tossing around, if Frankie doesn't deal with it wholeheartedly, he may not be able to suppress him.

After the attention is drawn, it is inevitable that the considerations in other aspects will not be thorough enough.But at this time on another battlefield, Taranto lost a trick in the secret contest with the support army.

Such a combination of all kinds finally led to a major reversal, which made the almost cooked duck of the Aberdeen counter-insurgency army fly away.

"Are we going to lose?"

Duke Keqishi also saw that the situation was not good, and asked unwillingly in his heart.

When the rebel flag was first raised, the Duke was always worried about whether Taranto could withstand the suppression of the counter-rebel army.Now even if he retreats in despair, he has successfully achieved his original goal.

But it is the nature of human beings to look forward to Sichuan and to make progress.Watching helplessly as the opportunity to eliminate the main force of the enemy while at the same time increasing one's own strength slips away, who can take it calmly?
But the Duke can't blame Franky for this.General Riga has done a perfect job. Even if there are some small twists and turns in the middle, they are all problems with the Taranto army and have nothing to do with him.It seems that the failure at the critical moment this time was also because the Taranto officer who was sent to track the enemy's reinforcements lost his target and lost the chain, which made the good situation collapse in an instant, and the painstaking efforts of several months were in vain. .

Who can blame this?Duke Keqishi wanted to tear up the officer who was thrown on the ground by Franky and couldn't get up while grumbling.

The Duke has never known that you are so capable that you can influence or even decide the outcome of the [-]-strong battle between the two provinces of Taranto and Aberdeen!

Feeling the naked killing intent like a wild beast in Duke Keqishi's eyes, the officer who knew that he had caused a catastrophe collapsed on the ground, unable even to groan.

"Alas~" Franky sighed, "Get out, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave."

Duke Keqishi glared at the officer fiercely, and finally turned around, still unwilling in his heart.

Suddenly, the hateful voice of the boy on the opposite side sounded again.

"Soldiers of Aberdeen, your valor has been rewarded, and our reinforcements have arrived at last. The Burgundian cavalry is less than fifty miles from us and will soon join the battle. Warriors, Taranto The traitors are about to retreat. Bite them and don't let them escape! Let us join the warriors of Burgundy and teach these traitors a deep lesson!"

As soon as the words fell, several Aberdeen reserve troops who had been standing still moved immediately, followed behind "Azure Sword Master" Caton, and rushed to the two wings of Taranto neatly.

Franky's expression changed, he ignored the unwilling Duke of Coccis, and immediately signaled to the messenger.

"All troops retreat!"

Duke Keqishi's expression was lonely, as if he had lost his mind.He muttered to himself, both angry and unwilling.

"How could this be? How could this be? Isn't this bullying?"

Taranto stopped the momentum of the attack, and began to shrink back in an orderly manner.This time it was Aberdeen's soldiers who stood up bravely and attacked forward in turn.

When Anthony first said that there was reinforcements, many people, like General John, had doubts.But the morale of the army has improved, and the fight has become smoother and smoother under the dispatch of the new commander, and these people quickly put aside this idea.

The battle went on for another hour, but the promised reinforcements were still missing, and everyone's confidence had begun to shake.If Anthony's words were later, God knows what would happen.

Although the reinforcements are still missing, this time it feels much more real and reliable.There is the source of the reinforcements, the types of arms, and the distance from here. Fifty miles may seem a long way, but if the cavalry troop gallops on horseback, it will be a quarter of an hour or two.This little bit of time, can't everyone hold on?

When the "Azure Juggernaut" appeared on the field in such an imposing manner, coupled with the reserve team's pressure across the board, it was obvious that it was a decisive battle, and the Aberdeen soldiers felt more confident.

Looking at it again, the enemy really shrunk the battle line and retreated slowly, apparently planning to turn around and run away. Where there was any doubt in their hearts at the moment, they all exerted all their strength and desperately attacked and killed.

Frankie's face sank like water, but he remained unmoved, and still commanded the Taranto army to retreat slowly in an orderly manner.

Anthony shouted passionately, but the army mobilization was very conservative.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the Aberdeen soldiers had reached their limit if they could persist until now.The proclamation just now and the dispatch of the Juggernaut and the reserve team are just to strengthen their confidence and fighting spirit. Don't let the stamina be weak at the critical moment, revealing flaws, and let the battle situation change out of thin air.

On the other hand, it was also to hit the opponent's morale, break Frankie's remaining fluke mentality, and help him make up his mind.

As for turning defeat into victory, chasing down the enemy, and expanding the results of the battle, Anthony never thought about it.For Taranto to take the initiative to retreat and save this Aberdeen army, Anthony is praying to God and worshiping Buddha, and he is very fortunate. How dare he have so many extravagant hopes.

But be careful and watch out for Franky to act wild before leaving, that's serious.

Under the tacit "cooperation" of the coaches of both sides, the Taranto army finally slowly broke away from contact, retreated step by step, and finally disappeared out of the sight of the Aberdeen soldiers.

clang~ clang~
There was a sound of weapons falling to the ground.

I don't know who started it, anyway, except for the reserve team that joined the battlefield at the end, all the soldiers dropped their weapons, sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

Some people simply collapsed to the ground without moving.If it weren't for the violent ups and downs on the chest, it would be no different from a dead body.

Anthony did not reprimand the soldiers who had no formation at all, nor did they ask them to stand up and re-arrange to guard against the enemy's return carbine.

They are indeed exhausted, and they deserve to be praised, not criticized, for being able to persist until now.

Anthony let them rest on the spot, but drew dozens of capable scouts from the reserve team that had not participated in the battle, and followed far behind the leaving Taranto army. If they found anything unusual, they would report back immediately.

At the same time, let the reserve team prepare a defensive formation and be on high alert.Even if there is a surprise attack, precious time must be bought for the rearrangement of the army.

When the Burgundian cavalry arrived, they saw this rather strange scene:
Once, a well-formed but slightly weak army blocked the only way forward.

Not far behind them is a large army that seems to have just experienced a fiasco.The ground was lying all over the ground, and weapons such as swords were thrown everywhere.

One standing and one lying down, one neat and one scattered, the contrast between the two sides is so clear, but under closer inspection, they are so harmonious.

The arrival of Burgundy reinforcements means that the crisis has finally been completely resolved.

Although the Aberdeen soldiers who had regained some physical strength were still weak in their hands and feet, they couldn't restrain their gratitude and excitement in their hearts.

"Long live!"

"Long live the glorious empire!"
