Chapter 29 The Fortress

"Sir, sir!" Deng Jiaer said happily, "We have defeated the central and left army of the rebel army in succession, and now the enemy army is only 5,000 people from the right army! And our morale is high now, plus This rebellion can be quelled with one effort!"

"Yes." Su Cheng replied with a smile.

The battle against the left army in the past few days went smoothly beyond Su Cheng's expectations.

Su Cheng seized the opportunity when the left army was sitting down to rest, and quickly ordered the whole army to launch an attack. Alan took the lead and led the cavalry to charge towards the enemy's rear.

The unsuspecting enemy soldiers were slain, and many were decapitated before they could stand up from the ground.

After the cavalry cut the enemy army to pieces, the infantry followed up in time and launched a thunderous blow to the enemy army that had been "shattered" by the cavalry.

The result of this surprise attack was undoubtedly a big victory for the crusade army led by Su Cheng. The left army of the rebel army was defeated, and the head of the leader Abel was also chopped off in the melee and his head was chopped off.

But this time, it wasn't Alan who cut off Abel's head. Several unknown soldiers joined forces to kill Abel and cut off Abel's head.

Both the central and left army have been defeated by Su Cheng, and now there is only the right army with the smallest number of 5,000 people left. The difference between the number of soldiers and the enemy has finally narrowed from 1:6 to 1:1.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng felt a sense of relief, feeling that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon! Just a little bit more, a legendary battle can be completed!

Therefore, Su Cheng's mood began to become more comfortable now, and he no longer had the feeling of a boulder pressing on his heart before.

"General! We have detected the movement of the right army ahead!"

A sentry returned to Su Cheng's side and said to him.

"How is the right army now?" Su Cheng asked.

"The Right Army didn't continue to march! They were stationed on a small hill! They also placed a lot of fortifications on the hill! It looks like they are going to turn that hill into a fortress!"

"What?!" Deng Jiaer shouted.

But Su Cheng raised his eyebrows, his face remained normal, and asked at the post:

"Where are they now?"

Then, the sentry reported the location of the small hill where the Right Route Army was stationed, and how far it was from here.

"Then it seems that we will be able to reach the right army in the afternoon." Su Cheng said lightly, "I would like to see if the fortress they have set up can stop me."

 …

"Quick! Quick! When Britannia's army is coming, hurry up and arrange this hill into a fortress, as many as you can!"

Abt directed the soldiers to arrange various fortifications on the hill.

In order not to shake the morale of the army, he concealed the news that the Central Army had been defeated, and only told the soldiers that he was stationed on the hill to better meet the troops sent by the Britannia Empire. , and set up fortifications on the hills.

It has been nearly 2 days since I climbed the hill. Although the time is tight, after Abbott's orderly command, the hill has already used wood to arrange a lot of fortifications. If Britain If the Niya army attacked by force, Abt was confident that the energy consumption would kill all the soldiers of the Britannia army, and they would not be able to conquer the hill.

"Boss! The flag of the Britannia Army has been seen! The Britannia Army is approaching!"

"Okay!" Abt moved his lower wrist, "Let the soldiers get ready to meet the enemy! I want to see how the main general of the Britannia army can capture this mountain with the same force. mound!"

 …

"Oh my god, this is really incredible, a small hill can be arranged like this in such a short period of time.

"Su Cheng said in a relaxed tone, "It seems that this last battle is not easy, I thought I finally breathed a sigh of relief. "

In front of Su Cheng and the others was a small hill with various fortifications made of wood, including wooden railings and horse refusals. spectacular.

"Sir, what, what should we do!" Deng Jiaer asked in a panic, "Our army and the enemy army have the same strength, and with the same strength, it would be difficult for us to capture the hills that the enemy is holding on to if we attack by force. of!"

"What are you panicking!" Su Cheng kept a poker face and reprimanded loudly.

"Your dream is to be a powerful general, right? If you want to be a general, you must keep one thing in mind! That is to keep calm all the time! If you are panicked as a general, then the soldiers below How can you keep calm! From now on, you have to practice controlling your expressions and emotions! Even if you panic, don't let the soldiers below notice that you are panic!"

Suddenly being reprimanded so loudly by Su Cheng, Deng Jiaer was frightened and shrank his whole body, but he quickly reacted and replied loudly: "Yes, yes!"

As soon as the words fell, Deng Jiaer patted his face hard, trying not to let the panic show on his face again.

"Notify the five captains of the thousand-man team to let the soldiers repair on the spot first," Su Cheng said to the messenger next to him, "At the same time, let them beware of the enemy's movements, and also guard against the enemy's sudden descent down the mountain to attack us when they are resting."

"yes!"

"Deng Jiaer, Alan, you two follow me. Alan, take your bow and arrow and your spear, the three of us circle around this small hill and take a closer look at this simple fort built by Abt."

"Huh? Sir, just the three of us?"

"Yes, it's just the three of us, just go around this hill and take a look at this hill. There is no need to bring too many people, and ah," Su Cheng smiled meaningfully, "Alan is here , even if the 5,000 enemy troops on the hill are all rushed down, what are you afraid of?"

After speaking, Su Cheng knocked on the horse's belly, pulled the reins, and rushed towards the hill in front of him. After so long of practice, Su Cheng has mastered the knack of riding a horse and can control the horse proficiently.

Alan and Deng Jiaer looked at each other, Alan shrugged his shoulders, stuck out his tongue, and after showing a cute smile, he took the bow, arrow and spear from the soldier next to him, knocked on his horse's belly and followed Su Cheng .

Deng Jiaer had no choice but to sigh lightly, tugged at the reins of the horse and hurriedly followed.

 …

"Boss! I found 3 people walking around the hill on horseback!"

"3 people?"

Albert frowned, then went to look outside.

I saw three people walking around the hill on horseback. The leader had black hair and was wearing a beautiful white and blue armor. He was looking towards the hill while riding his horse.

Behind him is a little girl with black hair, and at the end is a little brown-haired girl. This little brown-haired girl is holding a long gun in her hand and a bow hanging from her saddle. .

The speed of the three people is not fast, walking around the hills as if they were visiting the back garden of their own house.

Albert sneered.

"Hmph, it should be a scout from the Britannia army. I have never seen such an arrogant scout. Shooting arrows from here should not hit you. Then, go! Send 100 light cavalry to take these three scouts Bring me his head!"

"yes!"

 …

"It's really spectacular." Su Cheng looked at the small hill lined with flags, "If one day I lead an army of 100,000 and all the flags of the 100,000 army stand up, it will be so spectacular."

After all, Su Cheng smiled self-deprecatingly.

"However, commanding an army of 100,000 or something, I don't know if I will have this day in the future."

At this moment, Deng Jiaer shouted:

"Sir! There seems to be a group of cavalry rushing down from the hill. There are about 100 people by visual inspection! It seems to be coming towards us!"

Su Cheng looked in the direction Deng Jiaer pointed, and there was a group of cavalry rushing towards them. He chuckled and said, "What are you afraid of? They do their thing, we do ours."

Soon, this light cavalry team of 100 people rushed to the back of the three of Su Cheng, stuck tightly behind the three of them, and the distance between the two was getting closer and closer.

Looking at the cavalry squad getting closer, Deng Jiaer said to Su Cheng in a slightly trembling voice: "First, sir! The enemy cavalry squad is already approaching us!"

But Su Cheng didn't seem to hear Deng Jiaer's voice, and continued to turn his head to look at the hill that was heavily fortified.

Desperate Deng Jiaer looked at Alan, and Alan continued to hold his spear and ride his horse calmly like a normal person, as if there were not 100 people chasing after them.

Soon, the three of Su Cheng and the 100-man cavalry squad were very close.

"Hey! You three!!" The captain of the cavalry squad yelled at the three of Su Cheng, "Aren't you three scouts from the Britannia army? You three are really arrogant! Sticking to our camp So close for investigation!"

"Scout? Have you ever seen such a handsomely dressed scout?" Su Cheng asked the man back, and at the same time knocked on the exquisite armor on his body.

"This..." Su Cheng's rhetorical question made the captain of the cavalry squad choke.

Su Cheng turned his head to look at the captain of the cavalry squad, showing a strange smile.

"I'm not a scout, I—— I'm the commander-in-chief of the Britannia Empire's Crusade Army!"

As soon as Su Cheng's words fell, Alan quickly hung the spear back on the saddle, and took off the riding bow on the saddle. When he turned his upper body to face the back, he quickly took an arrow from the quiver and put it on. On the bow.

When his face was completely facing his back, Alan had successfully placed the arrow on the cavalry bow, pulled the bowstring to the full moon, and pointed it at the captain of the cavalry squad.

Almost without aiming, Alan let go of the bowstring, and the unbound arrow rushed straight towards the team leader with a sharp sound of breaking wind, and hit the team leader's throat accurately.

"Uh...uh..."

The team leader touched his throat that was shot by the arrow, let out a few small whimpers, and then fell straight off the horse.

The rest of the cavalry squad looked at the squad leader's saddle-less horse with a dazed expression.

While everyone was in a daze, Alan kept taking out arrows from the quiver and shooting them at the cavalry behind him.

Every time Alan shoots an arrow, one person falls to the ground. Soon Alan shoots 5 arrows, 5 people fall, and the number is still rising.

"Damn it!!" Some members of the cavalry squad cursed secretly, then accelerated their speed and rushed towards Alan.

However, just when he got close to Alan and was about to swing the weapon in his hand, Alan would quickly put down the riding bow in his hand, hold the bow in his left hand, take off the spear hanging from the saddle with his right hand, and shoot all those who were close to him. People all stabbed off the horse, or swept off the horse.

With only one hand, Alan swept off the horses one after another, who were one or two heads taller than himself.

After killing everyone who was close to him, Alan would hang back the spear again, and then continue to use the bow and arrow in his hand to mercilessly take the lives of the cavalry squad.

After such a cycle, the cavalry squad has collapsed.

If the distance is too far, the gun will be shot by Alan, and I don’t have a bow and arrow here, and it’s useless, because the skill of riding and shooting is not something that the peasant rebels who have just learned to fight on horseback can master. and if you get too close, you will be stabbed off the horse by Alan with her long spear. The speed of firing the spear on my side is much slower than that of Alan. When I just raised the spear on my side to stab, Alan would have removed the spear from the saddle and stabbed or swept you off the horse.

Slowly, the number of casualties of this cavalry squad has risen to 30 people.

"Damn it!! Retreat!!! Retreat quickly!!!"

The cavalry who had nothing to do, pulled the reins, and stopped chasing Su Cheng and the three of them. Turned back up the hill.

"Alan, when did you learn archery? Or horseback archery!" Deng Jiaer looked at Alan in disbelief.

"I learned from an archer 3 days ago," Alan said with a smile. "I don't think there's anything wrong with riding and shooting. It's just changing from standing on the ground to sitting on a horse. Although it will become more difficult to aim, it's just It just gets a little harder.”

"Maybe you are the only one in this world who thinks so..."

At this time, Su Cheng just circled the small hill and started to return to the army.

"I already know the specific situation of this hill." Su Cheng rode his horse back to his army and said, "Deng Jiaer, go and call the five thousand-man team captains to my camp. A council of war has been called for the storming of this fort."

"I already have a plan to break through this hill!"

While Su Cheng was talking, he showed an excited smile, his eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars one after another.

Alan on the side blinked, looking thoughtfully at Su Cheng's excited face.
