Volume 3: Stormy France Chapter 126: Fight

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The sun has just shown its smiling face, but the Burgundians are already ready. It seems that they can't stay here for even a second.

    The atmosphere in the entire military camp is very depressing. It¡¯s no wonder that after a long journey, it was met with failure, and in the end they could only leave in despair. The atmosphere was definitely not much better.

    And Dahal now felt that if he could "leave in despair", it would not be a bad thing for their army. After all, he now had doubts about whether he could bring the army out intact.  Great doubt.

    After having a hasty breakfast, the Burgundian soldiers began to retreat from the "eight" mountain range after the scouts reported that they were safe.

    At this time, Catalano was in a small mountain depression only one kilometer away from the Burgundians in a straight line. This was also the only way for the Burgundians to retreat. However, although it was a straight line away from that place,  The "eight" mountain range is only a thousand meters away, but in fact, the mountain road is rugged, and the real distance of the road is not just that thousand meters.

    "Carter, you found an enemy scout, did you" Catalano's bodyguard commander and adjutant asked.

    The area where the Italians are located cannot hide three thousand troops. In other words, as long as these Burgundian scout troops come to this place, they will definitely find something abnormal here, and even Catalano's soldiers  Their hands and feet are quick and they can clean up all the Burgundian scouts who come, which is equivalent to telling their opponents that there are changes ahead.

    "If you can intercept it, try to intercept it. If you can't intercept it, forget about it. There is no need to work too hard for a few scouts." Catalano said. At this time, he turned around and saw that his adjutant was hesitant to speak.  The look on his face made him curious, so he asked again: "What's wrong? What's going on?"

    "I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not." The adjutant had been with Catalano for five or six years. In other words, when the two of them were still in Italy, they were enjoying a pure aristocratic life together.  Tasting the most delicious wine is called sharing the blessings; now leaving the comfort zone and moving to a barren and unfamiliar land is also called sharing the hardships.  The friendship between the two cannot be described by the ordinary word "friend".

    "Actually, you don't have to speak, I know what you want to say." Catalano smiled helplessly at his adjutant. The old man for many years made it easy for them to think of a place to go: "We only have three thousand  Weak brigade, the opponent has 5,000 elites, we can't resist it. Even if we can withstand it, we are just making wedding clothes for others in vain, so it won't make any difference."

    "So, what are we going to do now? Just resist for a while, retreat, and let the Burgundians have a way out?" The adjutant proposed a plan that was harmful to the overall situation, but very beneficial to himself.  It is said that people who do not do it for themselves will be punished by heaven and earth. Anyway, selfish people can always find high-sounding reasons.  To put it another way, no one is obligated to help others selflessly, but such people are not qualified to ask for selfless help from others.

    "No, the generals of the coalition forces are not fools. You can see how hard we have used it. The three thousand weak brigade is also three thousand soldiers. We can't behave like three thousand pigs." Catalano is rare.  He joked in a self-deprecating mood, and then changed the subject, "However, the order given to us by the Duke of Switzerland was to 'pursue the Burgundians', not to block the Burgundians' retreat, so I think I know  What should I do?"

    The adjutant lowered his head and thought for a while, then slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, our lady is also the best. How can other men bear to make her suffer? No wonder, so to speak, we get  The order is to pursue rather than block, then this will be much simpler."

    To put it another way, since the Italians have not received the order to block the Burgundians' retreat, they can completely let go of this Sunshine Avenue and pursue them from behind. In this way, the damage will naturally be much less.  , and the results are not that small.

    "Don't overdo it. No one is stupid. We have to give others a reasonable result." Catalano seemed to be afraid that the adjutant was too "concentrating on his own troops" and missed important matters, so  He warned again.

    "Don't worry, I know how to do it." The adjutant patted his chest and looked like he was covering me.

    Speaking of which, Bai Zhou had no intention of blocking the Burgundians' retreat with the first wave of attacks. After all, doing that was no different from directly fighting them to the death. It was just a competition to see who had more people and who had the stronger combat effectiveness.  , the coalition forces occupying the right time and place do not need to waste time with the Burgundians.

    Now Burgundy¡¯s nearly five thousand soldiers are still full of energy, and it is not a good idea to resist head-on. Moreover, even if they have to fight a tough battle, as the Italians themselves think??In that case, they would not be needed as pioneers.

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The battle is about to break out.

    Soon after Viscount Dahar retreated, he received reports that there was a heavy blockade in front of him. He became more and more sure that it was a mistake to rush into the Belfort Mountains this time. Unknowingly, he fell into the trap of the Western Qin people.

    But now is not the time to lament. Even if there is a copper wall in front of him, he will have to lead his men to break through it. Otherwise, all the cavalry units will have to be accounted for here.

    "Order, the 1,000-man team, prepare to fight!" Dahal ordered decisively. He didn't know if there were other Western Qin people chasing behind them now, but since the other party was prepared, there was no reason to intercept them, and  There was no pursuit, so he had to order to break through all interceptions in the shortest possible time.

    "Yes!" The herald took the order and left, and the soldiers who accepted the order also drew their swords and mounted their saddles, murderous intent instantly overflowing.

    "Charge!" The officer of this thousand-man team, named Abel, ordered after adjusting the formation of his cavalry.

    The narrow mountain road is actually not conducive to the charge of large groups of cavalry, but at this time, there is no need to worry about so much. Everyone understands that the only way to survive is to rush out.  Otherwise, if we surrender collectively now, even if Duke John will pay a ransom to redeem the cavalry, these generals who advocated surrender before fighting a battle will not know how good the outcome will be.

    "Hold on, hold on!" Catalano stopped many new recruits who were now trembling and ready to shoot arrows.  They now occupy a favorable terrain. The enemy cannot charge too many troops at once. The cavalry is also very slow on this mountain road. But even so, this Italian army composed mostly of new soldiers has seen so many cavalry for the first time.  When he launched a charge, his momentum was involuntarily weaker.

    Catalano saw that the opponent's troops were approaching again, and the dancing blades were clearly visible. He immediately shouted: "All of them are here, shoot!" As he said, he took the lead in raising the crossbow arrow. Without seeing that he was deliberately aiming, he fired the arrow.  The arrow was shot out, and the Burgundian cavalry who was charging forward fell to the ground.
