Chapter 732 Donkey Cart Drifting
Perhaps the stable had just been attacked, or maybe someone came here to steal horses and escaped without closing the horse fence.
In short, there is no usable horse left in this stable now.
However, a carriage was found. As long as the horses were harnessed, they could use this carriage to escape.
But now there is no horse, only a carriage, what's the use?
Vashili and others were sweating profusely, not knowing what to do.
The shouts and killings of the Britannians seemed to be getting closer and closer, and there was no time to run to other stables to find horses.
When everyone was in despair, Dmitri's voice full of surprise suddenly sounded:
"Your Majesty! We found livestock that can be used to pull the carriage!"
Vashili and others immediately looked in the direction of the sound with excitement.
Dmitri, who was full of surprise, was leading a donkey.
This donkey should be a pack donkey responsible for carrying baggage.
Although the leg strength is not as good as that of a horse, it is more than enough to pull the carriage.
But after seeing the donkey that Dmitri was leading, Vasili's face immediately turned ugly.
It was embarrassing enough to run away, and he had to use a donkey to run away?
Vasili, who was very proud, couldn't bear this.
Dmitri saw what Vasili was thinking.
So he hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty! Now there is no condition to dislike this or that! This donkey is the only livestock in this stable! Your Majesty, please be patient for a while! Now it's important to stay alive!"
"%%¥#x-on:!"
As soon as Dmitri finished speaking, loud Britannian suddenly sounded outside the stable.
Vasili didn't understand Britannian, but he guessed that the meaning of this sentence should be-"There are a lot of enemies here!"
Because after this shout, a large number of Britannian soldiers wearing black armor and full of murderous aura rushed to the stable.
Vasili was so scared that his legs softened and he almost fell to the ground.
"Soldiers! Stop the enemy!"
Fortunately, Dmitri reacted quickly and calmly. When he saw a large number of Britannian soldiers approaching, he immediately ordered the remaining guards to stop them and buy some time.
After the guards went to stop the Britannian soldiers approaching here, Dmitri hurried forward to steady Vasili.
"Your Majesty! Don't hesitate! Use the donkey cart to escape from here!"
At this time, Mond also rushed up to steady Vasili.
"Yes! Your Majesty! Survival is important now! As long as we can survive,
we have a lot of opportunities to take revenge on the Britannians!"
Mond is not as face-conscious as Vasili.
As long as he can survive, Mond is willing to escape by burrowing into a cesspool, let alone escaping by donkey cart.
Mond doesn't want to lose his only escape tool and opportunity because of Vasili's face.
Mond and Dmitri half-pushed and half-pulled Vasili into the carriage.
After pushing Vasili onto the carriage, Dmitri skillfully placed the donkey on the carriage.
"Your Majesty! Prime Minister Dubois! Please hold on tight!"
After that, Dmitri sat in the driver's seat, skillfully pulled the reins in his hand, and drove the donkey to pull the carriage.
Before Dmitri became a quartermaster, he was an ordinary coachman - a coachman who was responsible for driving a carriage to transport military supplies.
Although he had not driven for decades after becoming a quartermaster, his muscle memory was still there.
The moment he held the reins, Dmitri's hands began to skillfully pull the reins like a conditioned reflex.
Under Dmitri's driving, the donkey moved its four hooves and pulled Dmitri, Vasili, and Mond out.
Dmitri's driving skills were very skillful, driving the donkey to avoid all obstacles and run straight towards the east gate of the fortress.
There are 6 gates in the Mukhavets Fortress: North Gate, Northwest Gate, Northeast Gate, East Gate, West Gate, and South Gate.
The Britannia Army came from the north gate and the northwest gate, so Dmitri did not dare to go north. The northern part of the fortress must have been completely occupied by the Britannia Army.
And it is not appropriate to go through the south gate.
If you go through the south gate, you will run into the Aghhar Corridor.
Dmitri is a senior quartermaster after all. As one of the few elites and outstanding people in the empire, he did not lose his reason and original thinking ability in such a critical situation.
The fall of the Mukhavets Fortress is now a foregone conclusion.
Although he does not understand military affairs, Dmitri also understands what the consequences will be if the Mukhavets Fortress falls.
The Britannia Army will block the two openings of the Aghhar Corridor, one in the south and one in the north, and completely block the nearly 300,000 Hiran Army combat troops still staying in the Aghhar Corridor.
If they go to the south gate and enter the Aghhar Corridor, the three of them will be blocked in the Aghhar Corridor with the 300,000 Hiran troops.
If they are really blocked in the Aghhar Corridor, there is no point in escaping from the Muhavitz Fortress.
Therefore, the only gates left are the east gate and the west gate.
After some calculations, Dmitri chose the east gate.
According to the intelligence from the city wall just now, the Britannia Army first launched an attack on the northwest gate, and the northwest gate was the first to fall.
Then there is a high probability that there are a large number of Britannia Army soldiers at the west gate.
Dmitri can only take a gamble.
I bet that there are not many Britannia soldiers at the east gate and that the east gate has not fallen.
Dmitri drove the donkey cart all the way through the fortress, heading for the east gate at high speed.
When he arrived at the east gate and saw the intact east gate, Dmitri couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I am the senior quartermaster-Dmitri! Open the east gate quickly! I'm going to ask for reinforcements!"
Dmitri ordered the small group of soldiers still guarding the east gate.
Dmitri naturally wouldn't say that His Majesty was sitting in the donkey cart and that His Majesty was going to escape.
And Dmitri didn't lie. After he escorted the emperor to a safe place, he and Vasily would mobilize reinforcements to recapture the Mukhavets Fortress.
"Yes, yes!"
When the soldiers at the east gate opened the east gate, a large number of Britannia soldiers suddenly surged behind the donkey cart.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
There were also several crossbowmen in the group of Britannia soldiers rushing towards Vasili and others.
These crossbowmen rushed towards the donkey cart while shooting arrows.
Several sharp arrows cut through the air and shot towards the donkey cart.
Vasili was lucky.
An arrow penetrated the carriage.
It shot close to Vasili's scalp.
If Vasili had raised his head a little higher, he would have been shot in the head.
The fear of almost dying made Vasili scream with a shrill cry that was not like a human being could shout.
After the east gate was fully opened, Vasili immediately shouted to Dmitri:
"Hurry! Dmitri, drive! Don't stop!"
Even if Vasili didn't say it, Dmitri knew about this kind of thing.
Dmitri waved the reins in his hand and drove the donkey.
The donkey's leg strength was pretty good, and it quickly got rid of the Britannia Army pursuers behind it.
In the eastern wilderness of the Mukhavets Fortress, a donkey-drawn donkey cart was running at high speed.
The Holy Hiran Empire Emperor Vasily, who was fleeing in the donkey cart, was so frightened by the Britannian Army that he dared not even turn his head. He just kept urging Dmitri to make the donkey run faster.
