Time moves forward.
Storm's End would actually send half of its defenders out of the city late at night to stop thousands of troops. This was something von Biron never expected.
The army consisting of more than a dozen cavalry and a hundred infantrymen had just gone out so that the rear guard left behind by Von Bilen to watch had a bloody fight. They overwhelmed Von Bilen's rear guard on the spot, followed closely by the hundred or so soldiers, and chased after the tail of Von Bilen's two thousand army and took a few bites.
Hunting for battle in the middle of the night, those who are behind are those peasant soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers gathered from various places who have weakened their physical strength and are not determined to fight. Being able to get here is already worthy of a generous reward. As for the battle, don't think too much about it.
More than thirty people were killed and injured in a row. Feng had no choice but to send the elite cavalry around him to stop the attack. However, those guys were pushed back and chased back again and again, and their heroic spirit remained.
Shengsheng slowed down the pace of the raiding army.
In the chaos, the guards came to report that someone in the army had taken advantage of the chaos to steal horses and abscond. One was killed on the spot, and the other on a packhorse took advantage of the gap to break away from the team and fled to the west.
At this moment, he was seizing the horse and fleeing westward, most likely to go to the enemy camp to warn the enemy. Fon Bilen immediately sent five personal guards to chase him.
Misfortune never comes singly. Just after he sent people to chase the deserters, the cavalry sent by Von Biron to serve as sentinels around the army intercepted three groups of fast horses galloping out of Storm's End. Two groups were intercepted and killed, while the other group circled and fled northward, and its whereabouts are unknown.
Once the enemy is warned, even if von Bilen's night attack plan will not be overturned, the effect will be greatly reduced because the enemy is well prepared.
Hunting for the late night attack, von Bilen once again ordered the entire army to speed up, and personally led the escort soldiers to the rear to kill several ** and untouchable peasant soldiers who were slowing down the march.
The sky was slightly bright, the fish belly was white, and it was still quiet.
Von Billen's raiding army finally arrived three miles east of the market town where the Welsh Army's garrison camp was located. Due to the obstruction of Storm's End Castle, it was still one mile away from the planned assembly point.
After a quick night's march, the patchwork army was on the verge of collapse. If they didn't rest, they might mutiny.
Von Bilen looked at the soldiers around him who were paralyzed on the ground and refused to get up. In order to finish the surprise attack in a while, he had to send sentries to explore the enemy camp in light clothes while ordering the army to rest on the spot for a while. He had all the fine wheat bread and prepared barbecue brought with the army distributed to the soldiers to replenish their physical strength. The entire march After a while, the team made the sound of hungry dogs gnawing...
While von Bilen's two thousand soldiers were wolfing down, eight miles south of the military camp in Shankou Market Town, a cavalry team of 400 riders had just dispersed in a dozen teams and arrived at the scheduled assembly and standby point.
This newly assembled cavalry team is the Patriot Cavalry Regiment under von Bilen.
Last night Von Biron personally led two thousand infantrymen out of Santia and detoured to Storm's End Castle to attack the enemy camp. These four hundred cavalrymen were another sharp knife in Von Biron's hands.
Von Bilen agreed that both infantry and horsemen would attack at the same time at the line of the Sundew Plain. At that time, the Burgundians would be attacked from both sides and collapse quickly...
..................
The bright sun climbed up to the horizon, and the war horses suppressed their anger, panted rapidly, and chased the elongated shadow.
Fon Bilen, who was on the war horse, noticed that the morale of the soldiers around him had dropped due to the rest just now.
There are still two miles away from the enemy, and the agreed attack time has come. The most fatal thing is that once the enemy sets up camp at dawn, the effect of the surprise attack will be greatly reduced, so it is impossible for him to let the soldiers rest again to replenish their strength.
Fon Bilen tightened the reins, raised the front hooves of the war horse, turned sideways, and roared and neighed.
“Warriors on the plains of Lombardy, your swords have been polished and your spears have been sharpened. In front of you are outstanding military achievements and endless wealth. As long as you take one step faster, everything will be yours!” Von Bilen drew his sword and raised it high, shouting to inspire people.
The military glory and wealth once again stimulated the eardrums and hearts of the tired soldiers. They stared angrily, opened their big mouths that smelled of blood, gasped loudly, and their steps speeded up unknowingly.
Fon Bilen also jumped off his horse, raised his sword, and personally joined the attacking soldiers, boosting their morale with practical actions.
Victory is getting closer and closer to them......
...
On a fifty-foot-high gentle hill near the main camp of the market town, Art, wearing armor and holding a sword, was watching the military camp not far away and the rising sun in the east of the military camp under the protection of personal guards and miscellaneous trees. Behind him, on the path up and down the gentle hill, there were messengers and soldiers running back and forth to convey military information and military orders.
After riding a fast horse with bound hooves, he passed the news to the soldiers in a low voice. After hearing it seriously, the soldiers immediately ran up the hill to report to Art, "Sir, there was an urgent military situation suddenly reported from the far post on the southern line. Yesterday, on the starry night, multiple cavalry teams appeared in the north of Santia City. They rushed towards All parties finally gathered in a village eight miles to the south, with about three to five hundred cavalry." Upon hearing this, Att immediately turned to look south, with a stern look on his face, "I said, how could that old man Von Bilen come to die with his infantry? It turns out that the murderous knife is hidden here."
「传令吕西尼昂，亲率半数骑兵南下御敌。把掷弹兵连队的手掷炸弹拿出一百五枚交给骑兵，把敌骑给我轰死轰散。」
求助下，可以像偷菜一样的偷书票了，快来偷好友的书票投给我的书吧。
The messenger immediately ran towards the ambush position of the Welsh Legion Cavalry Company behind the wheat field on the south side of the barracks.
After a while, Lusignan ordered more than a hundred cavalry, received grenades, and kicked his horse towards the south...
"...Most of the posts on the eastern front were withdrawn, and the remaining posts were fighting and retreating. There are only a few casualties so far. It is estimated that the enemy is at most one and a half miles away." Ron, who went to the outpost to lure the enemy in person, came back quickly to report the location of the enemy group.
"Now that it's over, you immediately bring the miscellaneous soldiers from the baggage team into the camp and concentrate them in the eastern camp. Let them run back and forth in the camp. Once the enemy attacks the camp, immediately scatter in all directions."
"It stands to reason that two waves of enemies have already escaped to report the news at Storm's End. It is unlikely that the enemy army has not made any movement at all. This is too weird."
Von Biron's army is less than half a mile away from the market town camp. While running, Von Biron's adjutant once again raised questions and tried to get Von Biron to order the army to stop immediately and to understand the enemy's situation before charging.
After a wild night of running, morale has reached the edge of collapse. Von Bilen really did not dare to let the soldiers breathe their last breath. "At this point, there is no room for maneuver. Victory or failure depends on this battle, and I cannot afford to have any doubts."
"You personally lead two hundred elite soldiers to break through the camp, and I will lead the army to rush over immediately." Feng Bilen finally reserved a hand. He asked his adjutant to lead two hundred elite private soldiers to lead the charge, not only to break through the enemy camp, but also to take risks.
The real war has those wonderful preludes. The battle between the Welsh Army of Burgundy and the raiding army of the Lombard Guards only started with a few hundred steps of shouting and charging.
Before the Lombards rushed into the camp, the camp of the Welsh Army had already fallen into a brief "chaos". Hundreds of soldiers fled in all directions, especially the two military camps with only simple fence walls. The soldiers with disheveled clothes fled over the walls.
However, the Wells Army was not without brave men. Just as Von Bilen's adjutant led two hundred elites to rush into the camp, a group of fifty or so heavy armored infantry who should be guarding against the enemy also rushed out of the camp.
The two forwards were engaged in a deadly battle as soon as they came into contact. The sound of halberds, hammers, axes and spears piercing flesh and belly could be heard endlessly.
The Lombards had a numerical advantage outside the camp, and the heavy armored infantry of the Welsh Army gradually became unable to resist and retreated steadily into the camp. Soon, two hundred elites broke into the enemy camp.
Fon Bilen saw that the enemy troops were indeed the same, so he personally led more than 1,800 soldiers behind him and rushed into the enemy camp...
Fon Bilen noticed something unusual when his army rushed into the rear of the camp. In the three camps of the huge camp, except for the more than a hundred deserters who had just fled in all directions, there were only less than 300 soldiers appearing sporadically, and they were all heavy armored infantry. The Wells Legion must have more than these 300 heavy armors.
Fon Bilen's heart tightened and he ordered an immediate withdrawal. But if you are entangled by heavy armored infantry, you can easily escape.
At this moment, the recruiting horns were sounded from three sides of the entire camp, and in an instant, the shouts of killing were heard all around.
Fon Bilen felt a ringing in his ears and dizziness...
