"Marshal, are you sure it's alright?" At the entrance of the barracks, McCain looked at the troops that were leaving and said worriedly, "I still think this plan is too dangerous. Let's not talk about whether it will work or not. Even if it succeeds, we will be exposed. I feel that the loss outweighs the gain."
"Marshal, I think we should at least ask Duke Martelli to join us. At the very least, we should let them launch a night attack first. That way, even if we fall into an ambush, our troops can still catch up and catch them off guard …" Legg said.
"Also, Marshal, why are we only sending the second team? According to the quality of the troops, I think the first team is more suitable. With me leading, even if we fall into an ambush, I think we can still escape safely. At least, we won't suffer too many losses," Maccon said. Maccon said. He could tell that Bruno's ability to fight aside, he was absolutely terrible at military strategy. He would never be able to tell if someone was lying in ambush.
"Why do you two have so much to say? Let me ask you, how long do you want to fight in a battle with only ten thousand people? Based on your plan, you can fight steadily for a month. Do you want me to stay here with you for a month? I don't need to level up or get equipment. Hurry up and get rid of these two," Li Huailin said.
"But Marshal … If you're in a hurry, I'm afraid …" Maccon tried to persuade him.
"Alright, listen to me," Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"Yes, Marshal!" The two saw that Li Huailin had given the order, so they saluted and did not say anything else.
And so, Bruno led his second team and set off for the night raid. Although he was not good at strategy, he had no problem in a small-scale battle like this. He controlled the night raid very well. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, he led his troops to the right side of Duke Lotner's camp. Because he was very careful, his troops were not discovered.
The main reason was that Duke Lautner didn't know that Li Huailin's troops had already arrived at his right flank. He didn't know that Li Huailin and Duke Martelli had already hooked up. Because the two of them didn't have any interactions, Li Huailin shouldn't have any reason to help him. At the same time, he did not expect that Li Huailin would send out troops. Moreover, even if he did, it would take at least four to five days for them to arrive. He did not expect them to arrive so quickly.
Duke Lautner had already considered the possibility of a night attack. This was something that all the generals knew. Taking advantage of the enemy's unsettled camp to launch a night attack. Although Duke Lautner looked down on Martelli's commanding skills, he would still do what he had to do. The entire camp didn't seem to have many defenses, but they were all prepared. If the enemy dared to launch a night attack, they would definitely teach them a lesson.
However, what he didn't expect was the direction of the enemy's night attack. According to the intelligence, the enemy's troops were all in the city, and if they wanted to attack at night, they would do it from the front. He didn't expect that there would be an ambush on his right.
Bruno could not tell if the other party was prepared or not. Looking from the outside, he realized that Duke Lautner's camp had not been built yet. Even the wooden fences were only temporarily built, and the fortifications for the horses had not been built yet. So, he felt that this was an opportunity. He immediately waved his hand and shouted to the soldiers below, "The other party's defense is lax, and this is our chance! Now is the time to make a name for ourselves! For the Duke! Charge in with me! "
After saying that, Bruno took the lead and rushed towards the enemy's camp. At this time, they were close enough, and there was no need to hide anymore.
"Enemy … Enemy attack! Enemy attack! " The sentries who were standing guard immediately discovered the cavalry that was rushing towards them. They were also surprised. Although the Duke had already ordered them to be on guard against a night attack, they didn't expect it to come from their side. The sentries on the temporary high platform immediately began to ring the alarm bell beside them, reminding the soldiers in the camp to prepare for a night attack.
"What?" Duke Lautner was also surprised. This was because the scouts didn't tell him about Martelli's night attack, and it was from the right side. What was going on? However, Duke Lautner was only surprised for a moment. He didn't panic. He was already prepared, and wasn't afraid of any night attack at all. "I didn't expect them to really come. Zeldwin, give them a surprise. Make sure to kill all of them here."
"Yes, Duke!" A burly general beside him saluted, then picked up his weapon and left.
Bruno was still leading his troops to attack the enemy's camp. Bruno was holding a huge long warhammer in his hand. This wasn't because he didn't know how to use other weapons. His strength was maxed out, and he could use all kinds of weapons. However, because he was too strong, he could only use this kind of heavy weapon. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get used to using it. Li Huailin found someone to make him a huge warhammer. This thing normally required three people to carry, let alone swing it. However, Bruno could easily swing it with just one hand. However, there was a huge problem. He couldn't carry a horse. The Dean's Chamber of Commerce found the best warhorse for him, but it was still very difficult for him to sit on it. In the end, Bruno had no choice but to wear light armor to reduce his weight. Only then did he solve this problem.
With the long warhammer in hand, Bruno led the charge. At this time, he had already arrived in front of the enemy's camp's wooden fence. Bruno didn't stop and directly swung his warhammer at the enemy's wooden fence.
With a bang, the entire wooden fence and the soldiers who were preparing to defend it were directly sent flying. Bruno lifted his horse and leaped into the camp that had a big hole in it. He raised his hand and swung his warhammer again, instantly smashing a dumbfounded soldier beside him into minced meat.
"Kill! Burn! " Bruno raised his bloodied warhammer and roared at the soldiers behind him. This majestic figure immediately inspired the second platoon of soldiers behind him. A surge of hot blood rushed to their heads. The second platoon of soldiers, who were originally a little nervous because it was the first battle, instantly felt full of energy. They followed Bruno through the hole in the camp. The soldiers who wanted to stop Bruno were frightened by Bruno, and their morale plummeted. In an instant, the camp's gate was broken, and Bruno successfully killed his way in.
"Captain! That must be the enemy's main camp! "Bruno's second-in-command urged his horse forward and pointed at the largest tent in the camp.
"Lautner is right there!" Bruno immediately made a decision. Although he had successfully entered the camp, he only had 1200 soldiers while the enemy had 5000. If he allowed them to organize themselves, he would definitely be in danger. However, if he rushed over and killed Duke Lautner, the enemy would definitely be in chaos, and the battle would be decided. So, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Everyone, follow me!"
Bruno pulled the reins of his horse and directly charged towards Duke Lautner's tent. At this time, the second platoon of soldiers behind him had already completely worshipped this invincible general. No matter what he ordered, they would charge forward. Everyone immediately followed Bruno's direction.
Bruno's troops made a turn in the camp and headed straight for the enemy's tent. However, they did not expect that after they made a turn, their surroundings would suddenly light up. The originally pitch-black camp's torches were all lit up, and in front of Bruno's cavalry, there was an entire phalanx of Pikemen. All of the Pikemen's spearheads were already pointed at Bruno's troops. If they continued to charge forward, they would be smashing into the spearheads.
Bruno hurriedly pulled the reins of his horse, and the second platoon of soldiers behind him immediately stopped their horses as well. They could not charge forward head-on. Just as Bruno was thinking about what to do, a large number of soldiers with bows and arrows appeared on the left and right sides of the second platoon of soldiers. Their bows and arrows were aimed at the second platoon of soldiers, and they immediately surrounded them.
"You really don't know what's good for you." The Pikemen at the front split up, and Zeldwin rode to the front of the platoon of soldiers. He said to Bruno, "His Excellency the Duke already knew that you would attack at night. You actually dared to use such a small trick to embarrass yourselves. Eh? You don't look like Martelli's troops. Where are you from? "
Zeldwin quickly noticed that the second platoon's equipment was different from Martelli's troops. However, Zeldwin did not know where they were from.
Bruno naturally would not answer him. Seeing that his troops were surrounded, it seemed that their plan had failed, and they could only retreat. As such, Bruno immediately said, "Everyone, retreat with me."
"Trying to run?" Zeldwin smiled slightly. Wanting to escape alive after entering his encirclement was simply a dream. As such, he waved his hand and said, "Fire!"
In an instant, countless arrows flew out, and the second platoon had no place to hide. In an instant, a large number of soldiers were hit by arrows and fell from their horses.
"Retreat! Platoon, turn around and retreat!" Bruno waved his weapon to block the arrows that were flying towards him. However, because he was the main target of the enemy, if they did not shoot him, who else would they shoot? A large number of arrows flew towards him. Although Bruno's martial arts were outstanding, he was only wearing light armor, so he could not block the arrows. He was hit in the back and left shoulder, but fortunately, it was not a fatal wound, so he could still hold on.
After the first round of shooting, the enemy wanted to run away. The Duke had ordered them to stay behind, and when Zeldwin saw this, he found that the enemy's general was not far away from him. He was also injured by an arrow, and if he could kill him, the enemy's troops would collapse instantly.
Zeldwin was quite confident in his martial arts. He immediately raised his sword and charged at Bruno, "Enemy general, I'll take your life!"
However, he did not expect that when he was in front of the enemy's general, Bruno turned his head, and Zeldwin immediately saw his opponent's glowing red eyes. In an instant, he was surrounded by a huge murderous intent, and he felt as if he had encountered a devil that had crawled out from hell. In the next second, Bruno's giant hammer was already swinging in front of his face.
With a "poof" sound, Zeldwin's head exploded like a watermelon, and his headless body walked a few steps forward on his horse before falling to the ground.
The scene instantly became silent, and then, Duke Lautner's troops immediately fell into chaos.
