Chapter 611: Entice the enemy

The campfire crackled, bursting out Mars. The light flashed, illuminating a circle of people's faces beside the fire pond.
Lord of the Broken Bridge City, Lord Kyle Holden, wearing heavy armor, sits on a wooden pile beside the firepit. His face full of beards was filled with nowhere to vent his anger, and so did the nobles who followed him.
The attendant turned the grill on the fire pit. On the grill was a farming cow, which was slaughtered and divided into a dozen pieces.
After roasting the meat, the attendant carried a wooden tray, cut the meat from the grill with a silver knife, and sprinkled with cumin and salt, dedicated to the honorable Lord of the city.
Lord Houghton was clearly hungry, but the barbecue did not move, but turned his head toward the darkness outside the campfire.
Although they could n’t see it, the farmers in the village were trembling and hiding in a corner, watching the old men eat the only cattle in the village.
"Damn it."
The nobles by the fire pond were all hungry, but the city owner did not eat, and they could only wait with a wooden plate. As for the ‘really damn’ sentence, who do they know to scold?
Yesterday, the villages and farms around Broken Bridge were devastated. A group of cavalrymen teamed up with more than a dozen men and launched a continuous raid at a very fast speed.
The news came to Broken Bridge City, and the nobles in the city thought they had encountered a joint robbery by a large band of bandits. But at night, they realized that they were a separate enemy cavalry.
Standing at the head of Broken Bridge City, you can see the smoky village a few kilometers away, which shows that the sudden enemy is brave and acts with impunity.
The Houghton family's response was actually quite quick. In the morning, I received the information. In the afternoon, I assembled a number of patrols to protect the surrounding villages, looking for this unknown enemy.
As a result, the next morning, the enemy released a broken bridge city knight whose ears and nose were cut off and his eyes were stabbed. The knight described the tragic encounter of his team and sent Victor Hugo's declaration of war.
Such a mean and cruel method angered the nobility of the entire broken bridge city. Kyle Holden vowed to the gods on the spot that he must let his opponent pay the price of blood.
Angrily rushed, more than two hundred military nobles of Broken Bridge City hula hurried to go out of the city, to find the cold wind city to fight against the enemy.
But ‘cat catching mouse’ chased for a day, and the consequences of ‘Anger Rising Master’ showed that the city master had killed more than two hundred noble knights, but had no supplies.
The accompanying wizard had some small storage bags, but most of them contained the wizard's own spell-casting items and personal eating and drinking. Not everyone like Zhou Qingfeng has a huge portable alchemy workshop that can be used to hold things.
More than two hundred knights chased for a day, and now they are stationed in an unknown village twenty kilometers away from the city, and almost drained the wells in the village.
They came in a hurry, with no food and water, and no servants to serve. It was difficult to take a rest even if they wanted to rest.
What's worse is that the enemy has always been away, always letting the team of Broken Bridge run like nonstop. At night, Kyle Holden realized that he was fooled.
The forces of Hanfengcheng have been changing, and several nearby families want to take the opportunity to expand.
Broken Bridge City is only fifty kilometers straight from Hanfeng City, and the Houghton family has long coveted such wealthy territory as Green Valley. Kyle Holden had more ideas in the past six months.
Zhou Qingfeng expelled the lords of the cold wind city, and the Houghton family was even more powerful, waiting to eat meat. Unexpectedly, he didn't do it, but the enemy came over first.
Kel Horton felt terrified when he thought about his more than two hundred main forces chasing alone, with no help around him.
Victor Hugo is too cunning. He was definitely not sure about the siege, so he destroyed his reputation and wounded the prisoners, and deliberately led out the soldiers of the Horton family.
"I'm so stupid, so easy to take."
Lord Holden really regretted his intestines. "The trick that can be seen through at a glance is simply a fool. Why didn't I find out?"
Before the war, Kyle Holden imagined what it would be like to fight Hugo. He realized that no matter what happened, he must be calm and calm, and he would never frown even in the face of a brutal battle.
The family must be glorified for this.
But it's too late to say anything.
The strength of Broken Bridge City is similar to the cold wind city ruled by the long-legged family, with a total of more than 400 knights. More than two hundred people who can be transferred this time are the heirs of the Horton family.
This group of people must not be damaged, otherwise it will shake the foundation of the family.
"I'm not afraid, I will go back to the city as soon as it is dawn. When I go back to the city, I will die and gather all the troops in the territory to fight with Hugo." The Lord Holden grabbed the barbecue in the wooden plate with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
"As long as I die, Hugo can't take me. I can definitely use that to nothing."
The lord started to eat, and the others by the fire pit could finally fill their stomachs. But no matter how a farming cow can't feed the stomachs of more than 200 knights, everything that can be eaten in this village was found and eaten.
High-level nobles also have meat to eat, and ordinary low-level knights can only eat some dark bread. Some bread was also mixed with wood chips, and the old men scolded while eating.
In the village, more than a hundred serf-like villagers hid in the dark, they didn't dare to breathe loudly, and could only endure when they were hungry and thirsty. If the lords say hello, they have to tear down their houses and throw them in the fire pit as fuel.
The fire pond was booming, the stomach was full, the situation was not too bad, and the depressed morale gradually recovered. Kyle Holden stood up and patrolled. He set up two levels of outposts outside this unknown village.
One layer is fixed and one layer swims.
"Be careful, maybe the enemy will attack at night."
Lord Horton was already afraid. He really felt that he was too careless this time and put himself in danger. He also thought about whether to return to the city at night, but still dismissed the idea.
The enemy may be able to bear the nose while running for a day, but the horse cannot bear it. People on horseback still consume a lot of physical energy, and the horses carrying humans must retreat by force.
Evacuation at night is much more difficult than marching during the day.
The Lord Houghton was worried about running a night without thinking. Half of the people disappeared the next day. After all, the night vision medicament only provides a field of view of about 20 meters, and the wilderness is still easy to get lost.
Moreover, the enemy must hide in a peep. If you chase halfway, the loss will be even greater.
The horse must be allowed to rest and eat forage to restore physical strength.
"I have more than two hundred troops and are all regular knights who have been trained. Hugo only has more than one hundred cavalry. It's really tough, I'm not afraid of him. As long as I return to the city, I will definitely not make the same mistake again.
Lord Holden tried to comfort himself and the knights who followed him. He explained the current pros and cons to his friends and family members.
Everyone praised his boss for his proper analysis and thoughtfulness.
"Now you just need to guard against the other party's conspiracy and tricks. As soon as the day dawns, you are not afraid of anything." Kyle Holden thought that although he had made a little mistake, it was not enough to be fatal.
But this was the end of the speech, and a night wind blew.
There was a slight snare drum sound in the wind, dong dong dong dong dong, dong dong dong dong dong. The nobility of Broken Bridge City has just been relieved, and the sound suddenly changed color.
This is the voice of the lineup.
