The next morning, Li Huailin arrived at his camp. It was obvious that nothing had happened last night. The camp was peaceful, but because Li Huailin had said that they would fight today, some of the soldiers hadn't slept well. They saluted Li Huailin with tired faces. It seemed that they needed more experience points, or else they wouldn't be able to use them.
"Marshal!" Seeing Li Huailin, Maccon and Legg immediately rushed over.
"How did it go?" Li Huailin asked.
"Duke Martelli has agreed to send his troops. He will send his troops to fight Duke Lotner this morning, but he asked us to send reinforcements in time," Legg reported.
"Marshal, Duke Lotner has discovered our camp. He has sent an envoy to ask why we are sending troops and why we are attacking his troops," Maccon said.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned. But after thinking about it, he realized that Lotner didn't know that he was helping Martelli yet. Plus, Lotner still had a good impression of him. It might be strange, but there was nothing he could do. It was his fault for making Anthony unhappy.
"Tell him … Forget it, I don't want to waste my breath. Just kill the envoy and send his head back," Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"This … this … Yes, Marshal …" Maccon thought about it. He didn't want to say anything else, so he nodded.
"Assemble the troops. When Martelli makes his move, we will set off immediately," Li Huailin said.
After a while, someone else arrived. This time, it was Martelli's envoy. He had come from the teleportation portal in the city. Because he matched the secret signal, he was pulled to Li Huailin's side. Martelli was preparing to set off, but he was panicking to death. So, the moment he set off, he immediately sent someone to tell Li Huailin that he really couldn't beat Li Huailin, so he had to help him.
Li Huailin's side was also ready. When he heard this news, Li Huailin immediately waved his hand and the entire army moved out.
The troops immediately began to move. Li Huailin's team now had over 2,100 people left. Li Huailin Rebirth distributed the troops, leaving only 1,000 in his own team. The remaining 1,100 were added to the second team, which was still led by Bruno, and began to move towards the battlefield.
The distance was not very far. Li Huailin's team quickly approached the battlefield, and the information from the scouts slowly came back.
Duke Martelly's army and Duke Lautner's army had already started fighting. The location of the battle was on the flat land east of Colchira City. Martelly was really giving face. He really dispatched his entire army. Apart from himself, his general Costello led all the soldiers out of the city to fight against the enemy's army.
However, Duke Lautner's side was a little more interesting. He only sent out 3,000 infantrymen. Although the rest of his army had already left the main camp, no one knew where they went. And now, these 3,000 infantrymen were fighting against Martelly's 5,000 soldiers. Not only that, but they were also slowly gaining the upper hand. The difference in strength between the two armies was really too big.
"Marshal, they only sent their infantrymen to fight against Duke Martelly's army. We don't know where the 2,000 cavalrymen went. We have to be careful," Maccon immediately said.
"Duke Martelly's army is really too weak. They were actually suppressed by 3,000 infantrymen. We're in trouble now. If we ignore them, I'm afraid their army will collapse. But if we ignore them, I'm afraid they'll be attacked by Duke Lautner's cavalrymen …" Legg said with a frown.
"So that's how it is …" Li Huailin smiled. "If that's the case … Bruno, do you have any good plans?"
Li Huailin looked at Bruno again. Bruno was also stunned. His plan was only seen through once yesterday, and he lost 300 soldiers. Now, the marshal still had to ask him? This was something that even Bruno did not dare to say. Hence, he said hesitantly, "Marshal … I think I should listen to you. Marshal, I'll go wherever you tell me to go."
"You don't even know where you're going. How am I going to lead you to war in the future? Think of a plan now," Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"This … this …" Bruno was anxious. After thinking for a long time, he said hesitantly, "Then, Marshal, I think if Martelly's army is defeated now, we really have no chance of winning. Why don't we defeat Martelly's 3,000 infantrymen with lightning speed? Then, we can join up with Duke Martelly's army. That way, we'll have the advantage in numbers."
"Bullsh * t!" Maccon, who was next to him, immediately said, "The opponent's 2,000 cavalrymen haven't moved out yet. They're probably waiting for us. If we go out now to save Duke Martelly's army, we'll definitely be ambushed by the 2,000 cavalrymen. Our soldiers are all new recruits. They're not as good as the opponent's cavalrymen. We'll definitely lose this battle!"
"Yeah, Bruno! The opponent's army must be hiding behind these hills waiting for us. If we attack now, we … "Legg immediately said. However, before he could finish, Li Huailin suddenly shouted and interrupted him.
"Good! Good plan! What a brilliant plan! "Li Huailin suddenly roared.
"Huh?" "Huh?" "Huh?" The three of them looked at Li Huailin at the same time. This was a f * cking good plan? What was so good about it? It sounded like a suicidal plan no matter how they thought about it.
"Bruno, well done. You really didn't disappoint me," Li Huailin continued to praise.
"This … this … Marshal, I think I should think about it carefully." Bruno himself felt that the plan he came up with was nonsense. How could it be called a good plan?
"No! Very good. I'm very satisfied. " Li Huailin continued to encourage him. "There's no time to lose. Lead your troops to save Martelly's army now. Defeat them immediately."
"Huh?" Bruno suddenly felt a strong sense of déjà vu. It seemed like the situation last night was the same.
"Move out!" Li Huailin didn't give the three of them a chance to persuade him. He immediately waved his hand and gave the military order.
"Yes!" Bruno gritted his teeth and accepted the order. He then waved his hand at his troops and charged towards Martelly's army.
Bruno led the 2nd Cavalry Unit out of the valley between the mountains and into the flat terrain. Very soon, this unit was seen by the two sides who were fighting. Costello, who was being beaten up and retreating, was delighted. As expected, the Archduke of Aquitaine's reinforcements had arrived. He immediately shouted, "The reinforcements are here. Everyone, hold on. We will win!"
Martelly's army's morale was boosted, and they immediately resisted with all their might. The situation turned for the better in an instant. However, before they could rejoice for long, there was a sudden change.
Another group of cavalrymen came out from the side of the valley and charged directly at Bruno's troops. Judging from the number of people, this group of cavalrymen was much larger than Bruno's.
"What?" Bruno, who was still in the midst of sprinting, quickly discovered that he was being followed by a cavalry unit. This was definitely not Li Huailin's First Cavalry unit, so it could only be Duke Lautner's hidden cavalry unit. This was bad. Just like what Maccon had said, as soon as he made a move, the other side also made a move. The quality of the cavalry units on both sides was completely incomparable. Wasn't this bad?
"Captain! They are coming from behind! " The 2nd Cavalry Unit also became nervous. They all looked at Bruno, but Bruno didn't know what to do. How could he think of something like this?
Just as Bruno was at a complete loss, the situation changed again. Another Cavalry Unit came out from the other side of the valley and directly approached Duke Lautner's Cavalry Unit from behind. It was another surprise attack from behind.
"Marshal!" Bruno calmed down. Was this the marshal's plan? It was indeed unexpected.
At this time, Duke Lautner's Cavalry Unit also noticed a Cavalry Unit behind them. The general immediately reported to Duke Lautner, "Duke, a Cavalry Unit is following behind us."
"I see. So this is the plan? Unfortunately, you have too few people. How can this be called an encirclement? War God, you have made a mistake. Aren't you giving us a chance to split up and annihilate them? " Duke Lautner smiled and immediately said, "Everyone, turn around and destroy the Cavalry Unit behind us."
"Everyone, turn around!" The messenger immediately shouted.
Duke Lautner's Cavalry Unit was very elite, and their horsemanship was superb. After receiving the order, they all turned around. The front became the back, and almost instantaneously, they turned 180 degrees and charged towards Li Huailin's Cavalry Unit.
"Oh no, Marshal is in danger!" Bruno also panicked. The Marshal only had 1,000 soldiers, and they were all new recruits. If they were attacked by 2,000 Cavalrymen, there was no way they could win. Therefore, he immediately shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Let's turn around and go back to save the Marshal!"
The 2nd Cavalry Unit also immediately turned around, but they were much slower than Duke Lautner's Cavalry Unit. There was already quite a distance between them, and now the distance between them was getting wider and wider. They felt like they couldn't catch up.
"Marshal, they're coming!" Naturally, Maccon also saw Duke Lautner's Cavalry Unit charging towards them. If they were to collide with them, their Cavalry Unit would be annihilated in an instant. Maccon was so scared that he almost peed his pants. They were going to lose!
"I f * cking saw it long ago," Li Huailin said as he raised his hand and said, "Everyone, stop!"
"Stop!" This order was very strange. The Cavalry Unit was charging towards them, but their Cavalry Unit actually stopped their horses. Were they just going to stand there and wait for death? Although the soldiers didn't understand why, they all obeyed Li Huailin's order. The 1st Cavalry Unit all stopped their horses and stood in place. In front of them, Duke Lautner's Cavalry Unit was charging towards them with their weapons raised. The new recruits of the Cavalry Unit felt their hands start to sweat, and they were panicking to death.
"Marshal, Marshal, what should we do?" Maccon asked anxiously.
"Standard-Bearer, raise my Marshal's Flag," Li Huailin suddenly said to the strong-looking standard-bearer behind him.
"Eh? Marshal, you're still playing this game? "Maccon said anxiously.
"Come!" Li Huailin didn't explain and roared.
The standard-bearer immediately raised Li Huailin's "Awesome Marshal's Flag" high up in the air. The huge black flag fluttered in the wind with the word "Awesome" on it, and the arrowhead pointed at Li Huailin's head.
"It's the Marshal's Flag! That's the Grand Duke of Aquitaine! " Duke Lautner's Cavalry Unit was very close, and everyone saw Li Huailin standing under the Marshal's Flag.
"Kill him!" Duke Lautner immediately yelled.
"Kill him!" Now that everyone had a clear goal, they all charged towards Li Huailin.
"This is bad! Marshal, something bad is going to happen! " Maccon was terrified. What was the Marshal doing? How could a Marshal expose his position like this? Did he think that the Cavalry Unit didn't know where to attack?
"Come, calm down, calm down." Li Huailin patted Maccon's shoulder, then urged his horse to take two steps forward. Facing the Cavalry Unit that was charging towards them with a murderous aura, Li Huailin said softly, "Titan's Eye …"
