Chapter 432 The decisive battle of Fort Marsi (7)

"Help, help..." Looking at the Kodor soldiers rushing toward him, Andre rolled and crawled on the ground, screaming for his life. Just as the Kodor soldier was swinging his sword to chop down Andre on the ground, Bass pulled out the broad sword in his hand from the neck of a Kodor soldier who fell to the ground, and looked at the guy who was charging towards Andre with a lewd smile on his face. When he was about to end Andre's life and reap the fifteen hundred pfennigs rewarded by the count, the Basti sword swung from the side and cut the hand holding the sword of the Codor soldier. The Codor soldier slipped and fell to the ground, and the sword also fell to the ground.

When Andre saw this, he didn't know where the courage came from. He stood up and rushed towards the Kodor soldiers. He pressed the Kodor soldiers tightly with his body and squeezed the Kodor soldiers' wounds so hard that they bled. Then he pulled out the short sword from his waist and slashed at the helpless guy on the ground until his flesh and blood were bloody... "You kid, you know how to take advantage of me. Forget it, this bastard's head is yours." Bass said to Andre, who was sitting on the Cordor soldier with his face covered in blood.

  Obviously, that guy has extraordinary fighting ability. Andre is not on the same level as him at all. This is obviously different from what Chief Wall said. Some Kodor soldiers are not that bad. Another possibility is that this guy may be a mercenary who often fights on the battlefield. Thinking of this, Andre was frightened for a while.

  If Chief Bass hadn't come to help, I might have become a ghost under that guy's sword...

 In the mountain valley south of Marsy Castle, after a night of fierce fighting, the Sapp and Longxia troops cleaned up the battlefield, and in the early morning, they sent people to secretly escort the prisoners to Marsy Castle for detention. After that, the two troops continued to hide in the dense forests in the mountains and were on standby

 Hand sent out secret sentries to guard the surrounding arteries and screen the battlefield. Kill all the soldiers who came to deliver orders to the southern army in Kodor so as not to alert the enemy and let the northern army in Kodor know that the southern army has been destroyed. If the matter is revealed, the Earl of Codor will definitely be prepared, and the Welsh Army's plan to encircle and annihilate the army of Codor Province will come to nothing.


In the dense forest in the mountains south of Marcy Castle, there are mountain valleys where the Sapp army and the Longxia Army lurk secretly. The messenger climbed down from the tree on the top of the hill where he could see the movement in the direction of Fort Marcy and ran all the way through the winding path to report to Phoenix and Leander.

  "Say!" Phoenix stood up immediately, his face full of anticipation. Leander also came over quickly.

  "Report to Lord Phoenix and Lord Leander, the smoke has risen in the direction of Fort Marsi." The soldier gasped.

 "Okay, we have finally waited for this moment." Phoenix looked excited.

  "Yes, it's time, Phoenix, give the order!" Leander said anxiously, holding the hilt of the sword with his left hand and making a sizzling sound.

 “Okay! Send the order, and the entire army will set off immediately, rush to the aid of Fort Marsi, and encircle and annihilate the Kodor people!” Phoenix ordered the soldiers who sent the order.

  "Yes!"

  ………

  "Report!"

   In the northern army camp of Kodor, the soldiers patrolling the rear position of Kodor hurriedly ran to report to the Earl of Kodor, who was watching the battle ahead.

 "What's the matter?" asked Count Codor.

  "Back to Lord Earl, we caught a guy who claimed to be a soldier of the Southern Army while patrolling the surrounding area. He said that the Southern Army had been surrounded and suppressed by the Welsh Army last night, with most of them killed and injured. Several officers, including the leading viscount, and more than a hundred soldiers were all captured."

"What!" Count Codor was shocked, "bring him up to me immediately!"

  "Back to your lord, what I said is true. Last night, only a few of us scattered and ran into the mountains. Because it was too dark, I stayed in the mountains for a long time and waited until dawn before I came out. As soon as I came out, I came to report the news." The fleeing soldier said with a look of grievance.

Count Codor was in a state of confusion. If what this guy said was true, he would have become a piece of meat in the mouth of the Welsh Army. If it is false, then he rashly withdraws his troops, and Fort Marsi, which has been under attack for a long time and has lost hundreds of troops, may never be recaptured.

  "Report!" While Count Codor was thinking about it, the messenger sent out after hearing the bell of Marseille came to report.

  "Speak!" Count Codor looked forward to the news brought by the messenger.

 "Report to your lord, the viscount, the leader of the southern army, and several knights were captured by the Welsh Army, and," the messenger hesitated for a moment.

  "What's more, tell me quickly!" Count Codor was very worried.

   "Moreover, the men of the Welsh Legion pushed all of them off the city wall, and no one survived..."

   "Ah..." Earl Codor collapsed on the ground.

           <                        <     
    

         

         

         

         

         



  "Lord Earl, what do you think we should do now?" a young knight asked.

 …

  After a while, Count Codor barely regained his composure.

  "Quick, withdraw your troops immediately!" Count Codor said loudly, his throat trembling.

  "What, withdraw the troops?" All the officers looked puzzled.

The Codor soldiers who were attacking the city looked at their companions around them in surprise, and then turned to look at the rear positions...

 Just when everyone was full of doubts, a team of several hundred people suddenly rushed out from the mountain trail east of Marsi Fort, shouting loudly...

"The enemy reinforcements are coming, run quickly..." Upon seeing this, a knight from Kodor led an army to attack the city and quickly shouted to the Kodor soldiers around him who were attacking the north city gate. While shouting, he ran towards the rear position.

   Other Kodor soldiers and officers saw this and ran away. The Kodor soldiers who were still on the ladder ignored the arrows coming from behind and retreated one after another...

  Waiting for the north When the Kodor soldiers under the city gate ran towards their position, a large group of people suddenly appeared in the south, rushing towards them...

 At this time, the Kodor soldiers and officers at the south city gate reacted.

  ………

  For a time, shouts of killing lingered around Fort Marsi. On the way to escape, the lives of the Kodor soldiers were harvested by the reinforcements of the Welsh Legion...

 “Open the city gate, go out of the city and pursue us!” Art, who was standing on the wall of the southern city, ordered Ron beside him.

 "Yes, sir!" Ron took the order and left.

 As the city gate opened in response, the soldiers of the Welsh Legion who had been trapped for many days rushed out and chased in the direction where the enemy soldiers in Cordor were fleeing. In addition to the garrison troops who stayed behind at Fort Marsi, the cavalry, infantry, crossbow corps, baggage corps, and guards almost all came out...

 Looking at the three-pronged army of the Welsh Army rolling in like dark clouds, chasing and killing the Codor siege soldiers all the way, the Earl of Codor hurriedly gave orders to the defenders stationed in the camp at the rear.

 For a time, the Codor soldiers became a mess, and they all ran northward following the Count of Codor who rode away with whips raised...
