On the sixth day of hibernation in the dense forest, Art finally led the outpost to attack several Lombard outposts and patrols around Sauerburg.
According to Art's arrangement, there are four targets in this attack, namely three waiting posts and a patrol team. The most difficult place to attack was the stone farm at the foot of the hillside.
In order to reduce the difficulty of attacking the farm house as much as possible, Art divided the outpost into four parts - Odo led the Kazak Second Squadron to sneak attack a small village where eight sentries were stationed; Ron led his fourth squadron to attack a small outpost set up at a fork in the road; Angus led the sentry team to ambush a patrol consisting of five Lombard cavalry.
As the core of the entire peripheral battle for Solburg, Art will personally lead Tuba's third squadron and the first mercenary squadron, as well as the crossbow squad and baggage squadron, lurking in the dense forest on the other side of the hillside, waiting for opportunities.
Since the farm at the foot of the mountain is a supporting point for the entire Sauerburg peripheral defense system, once several other places are attacked, the Lombard army in the farm should provide support. After the enemy troops in the farm are attracted to partially support various places, Art will personally lead most of the outposts to attack the farm...
………
Several teams have already rushed to their respective battlefields.
Six miles northeast of the farm at the foot of the mountain, the 2nd Kazak Squadron led by Odo was quietly approaching on a mountain path close to the small village where the Lombards were stationed.
This small village was originally a lumber camp. Later, there were more lumberjacks living there and it was close to the road for transporting lumber, so it gradually turned into a village of more than ten families.
But now there are no traces of loggers and civilians here. Most people fled to the North with their families shortly after the war began, becoming one of the refugees in the north of Provence. The old and weak who did not want to leave their homes were also slaughtered by the Lombards who invaded the Provence border.
So now there are only eight Lombard defenders in the entire village. Of course, there are also several plundered Provencal women who were used as slaves and sexual tools by the Lombard defenders.
When a dozen black shadows approached the village along the edge of the dense forest, the Lombards in the village were still acting recklessly, and the miserable voices of the women could not be heard.
“Sir Otto, those bastards are bullying the captive women in the village. There are only three enemy sentries at the entrance of the village and the sentry tower.” Weitz, the captain of the first team who went to the sentry outside the village to detect the enemy’s situation, came back and reported the situation.
"Sir Odo, let's kill the enemy while they are unprepared!" Kazak could no longer bear the pitiful screams coming from the village. Those Lombard bastards didn't know how to abuse those poor women.
Otto looked at the sky, and the sun was still barely above his head.
So I will deliberately let the messenger run away in a moment; and the Lord has told us and Ron that it is best to attack at the same time at noon, otherwise it will be more difficult for them to attack on their side if the enemy is awakened before they take action. Odo lowered his head and analyzed.
So everyone waited for a while, until the sun was high in the sky, Odo gave an order, and a dozen elite soldiers rushed out of the dense forest, fell to the ground one by one, and gradually approached the village where the Lombards were stationed along the weeds and shrubs outside the village...
"Sex, are you done? It's my turn. How can I enjoy it if you kill me later?" At the door of a slightly spacious wooden house in a small village, a Lombard soldier covered his lower body and observed the dirty scene in the house through the crack of the door, and then impatiently urged several people in the house.
After a while, a short man with a sweaty face pushed open the wooden door and walked out. While lifting his trousers, he cursed at the Lombard soldier who was urging me: "Next time you dare to urge me, I will kill all those women and leave none of them for you!"
The Lombard soldiers shouting outside the door ignored the threats and abuses of "Skinny Gun". He couldn't wait to push the guy in front of him, ran towards the house, and slammed the wooden door.
"Shougan" bent down and crawled at the crack of the door and watched for a while, the sweat on his face turned into a proud smile, "You are far worse than me, useless guy~" After saying "Shougan", he turned around and walked towards the sentry and tower outside the village. There were three new recruits there who had just joined and were waiting on tiptoe to replace him.
Humming a Lombard country tune, "Shougan" walked slowly and leisurely to the village sentry post. However, a closer look revealed that there were no sentries on the sentry shed or tower, but he saw a few heads exposed in the shade beside the sentry post.
"Shougan" just thought that a few recruits on guard duty were sleeping lazily or hiding in the shade to chat. As he walked towards the sentry post, he cursed angrily: "You bastards! How dare you sneak around while we are away!!" Pretending to go up and beat a few people.
But when "Skinny Gun" was about to get close to the heads, he suddenly realized something was wrong, because with his curse, the heads did not move at all.
匌~Shougan pulled out the broad-backed single sword from his waist, and slowly walked towards the sentry post with the blade facing forward.
Shougan saw three corpses covered in blood leaning on the wooden boards of the sentry post. They had been out of breath for a long time.
"No! Enemy attack!" Shougan exclaimed and turned around to escape, but a dozen strangers holding sharp-edged hammers and axes suddenly rushed out from the other side of the sentry post...
Just as Odo and his team were chopping melons and vegetables to kill the enemy soldiers in the small village of Lombardy, at the intersection of the north-south roads four miles northwest of the farm at the foot of the mountain, a recreational scene of the Lombards chasing and killing a Provence refugee beggar was being staged.
The two Lombard soldiers who were chasing the "refugee beggar" stopped, looked at the back of the figure who could not be chased, put their hands on their hips and panted heavily, and said to a Lombard soldier beside them: "This ~ bastard ~ is definitely not a ~ refugee, must be sent by the enemy to spy on the news Yes, catch him and receive the reward. "
Another Lombard soldier also bent over with his hands on his knees and replied: "Yes, he ran so fast, he is definitely not a civilian! Chase him." After that, he dragged his weapon and rushed towards the figure thirty steps away.
Thirty steps away, Ron was also breathing heavily from exhaustion.
Obviously, the chased Provence refugee beggar was Ron pretending to be. After following Art for a long time, Ron had unknowingly learned all of Art's tricks to deal with the enemy. Even if it was a few against many, he was not willing to fight unless it was absolutely necessary.
No, Ron had to use some "conspiracy" to break up the small outpost with a total of six sentries. However, this can't be entirely blamed on Ron for making a fuss. It was actually because this inconspicuous small outpost stationed by six people actually had two rifle bows and a crossbow. Moreover, the small outpost was located at a road intersection with no trees around. It was difficult to approach in a concealed manner. In order to minimize the battle losses, he had to use "conspiracy".
While running at top speed, Ron did not forget to turn his head from time to time to glance at the pursuers behind him. He also had to be careful not to run too fast and cause the enemy soldiers to lose their confidence in pursuit...
