Chapter 1361: Michael and Raziel at Odds (Part 1)

200 cavalrymen gathered at the southwest gate of Orleans.

In a little while, they will pass through the southwest gate of Orleans and break out of the heavy encirclement of the Britannian army outside the city.

On the surface, the Britannian army did not completely surround Orleans, leaving a gap, that is, the southwest gate of Orleans was not blocked.

But this is only on the surface.

On the surface, the southwest gate was not blocked, but in fact, a thorough ambush was arranged in an invisible corner outside the southwest gate.

Specially ambush, kill, and capture those people in the city who ran out along this deliberately exposed "gap".

This is also an old routine of siege warfare. First release

During the siege, a gap was deliberately left to undermine the determination of the defenders in the city to defend the city.

Then an ambush army was arranged outside this deliberately set gap.

When the defeated soldiers in the city broke out along this deliberately exposed gap, the ambush army arranged outside the gap would launch a siege.

Everyone understands and knows this routine.

But it is very useful and works every time.

You can tell with your ass that there must be a large number of ambushes outside the southwest gate.

In other words, these 200 cavalrymen responsible for breaking out of the city are actually a death squad.

They are about to carry out a life-threatening mission.

It is precisely because they are a death squad that they just enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

They also received a full bounty.

Most of them are satisfied.

They are ready to die.

"Roche..."

Denis said softly while helping Roger to tidy up his cloak behind him.

"May the stars guide your way."

As soon as Denis finished speaking, Roger chuckled.

"Coach Denis."

Roger said softly with a helpless look on his face.

"What era is it? Why are you still saying such old-fashioned farewell words?"

"May the stars guide your way" is a very old farewell word for the Luolin people.

According to the legend of the Luolin people, after the death of heroes, their heroic spirits will rise to the sky and become every dazzling star in the night sky.

That's why there are more and more stars in the night sky.

May the stars guide your path means that you hope you can get the protection of the heroes of the past.

This is already a very old farewell. In the eyes of people nowadays, this farewell is too old-fashioned, so not many people say this farewell now.

It is precisely because of this that after hearing Deni utter such an old farewell, I couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing Roger's laughter, Deni smiled slightly and said in a half-joking tone:

"You have to say something cool on this occasion, don't you?"

"...... Yeah." Roger smiled, "That's right."

Roger raised his hand and adjusted Deni's cloak.

"Then you, coach Deni, too. May the stars guide your path."

......

......

After proposing the plan to let Roger go to Tuli, Deni thought that Roger might need some time to think about it slowly.

Deni was ready to give Roger a night to think about it.

But after listening to Denis's plan, Roger was silent for a while and then nodded in agreement.

Denis couldn't help but show surprise, and couldn't help asking Roger, "Are you really going to Tuli? You should know it without me telling you, right? Breaking out of the encirclement of the Britannia Army is not 100% successful."

"Old men like you, Coach Denis, are burning their blood for this country, so how can a young man like me be inferior to you?" This was Roger's answer to Denis at the time.

......

......

Roche poured strong liquor into his mouth in big gulps.

After drinking the strong liquor in the cowhide water bag in one breath, Roger casually threw the cowhide water bag in his hand to the ground, and then turned on the horse with a smooth movement.

It's late at night.

Tonight is cloudy.

It's a perfect time to break out.

Roger pulled out the lance hanging on the saddle and looked back at the 200 cavalrymen behind him who were ready to go and ready to die in battle.

After carefully looking at the faces of all the soldiers within his sight, Roger said in a deep voice:

"May the stars... guide your way!"

After saying this, Roger couldn't help but laugh:

Is it because of the influence of Commander Denis...

Why am I starting to say such old-fashioned words...

Not everyone knows what this sentence means.

And Roger didn't have the interest to explain to these soldiers what this sentence means.

After saying this, he pulled the reins in his hand and untied the spear hanging on the saddle.

"Follow me!"

......

......

In the wilderness outside the city of Orleans, the people led by Roger formed a neat wedge formation and galloped.

Although the vision was not good due to insufficient light, Roger still keenly saw that there were groups of "black things" moving in front of them. First release

What these "black things" are is self-evident.

"The Britannians are coming!" Roger shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Prepare to meet the enemy!"

......

...

Rollin Empire, outside the city of Orleans, the headquarters of the Knights of Rachel.

Willie, escorted by a dozen soldiers, rode his horse slowly towards the camp of the Rachel Knights.

Looking at the flag of the Knights of Rachel that was unfurling in the night wind not far ahead, Willy sighed silently in his heart.

Captain Albert stepped back from the front line, and as expected, all kinds of troubles came...

After arriving at the city of Orleans, the 150,000 Britannian troops were divided into two groups, each performing their own duties.

Harry led a 100,000-strong army of the Knights of Rachel to surround Orleans and launch an attack on Orleans.

Willie led the 50,000-strong army of the Michael Knights stationed not far from the outskirts of Orleans, responsible for attacking all Rollin Empire reinforcements who dared to rush to Orleans.

After the troops are divided into two groups, the two armies will send a knight to each other's camp every period of time to report on the recent events and battle conditions in each other's armies.

After the Battle of Orleans lasted for a month, some discordant voices began to appear in the military camp of the Knights of Michael.

"The combat effectiveness of the Rachel Knights is really weak. It's been a month and they haven't captured Orleans yet."

"It's just that Orleans isn't even a fortress, it's just a slightly larger city. It took so long not to capture it."

"If we, the Knights of Michael, were in charge of the siege, we would be able to take Orleans in about three days!"

"That's right! One month is enough for us, the Knights of Michael, to capture Orleans and Tully!"

"Our Knights of Michael can even take down a super fortress like Muhawicz Fortress, let alone a city like Orleans that is not even a fortress?"

...

Such discordant voices began to spread among the knights of the Michael Knights.
