53. Furious Lion Castle
Soon, they figured out the situation, and the two armies came towards them, one left and one right, more than ten miles apart, and took care of each other. Attacking one of them at will, the other would respond quickly. It seemed that the Count of Normandy was determined to eradicate Robin.
Everyone was busy immediately, and the cart immediately started loading items, and they were preparing for the transfer.
Robin and ordinary high-rise buildings gathered in the house and discussed the battle map. Wang Qinian was also called into the house by them.
"This time the Count of Normandy is coming in a fierce manner, and it seems that he will not give up until he achieves his goal." Robin said, "The two teams are led by Normandy and Bonama, carrying ten field bronze cannons and musket teams. We can only avoid their edge. Look, how should we deal with them?"
Everyone was talking, and Wang Qinian only listened to them on the side that he did not understand the specific situation and was difficult to express his opinions.
After listening to everyone's opinions, Robin said: "Let the women and children transfer, we raid the enemy in the jungle to slow down the enemy's actions. Unfortunately, our troops are only more than 1,200. Although our total number is large, reaching 3,000, most of them are women and children, and some are elderly people. They have produced guns, arrows and other weapons for us, not combatants. There is no foreign aid, so this battle is difficult to fight. I wonder what you think?"
Robin finally looked at Wang Qinian. Wang Qinian was watching the map. When he heard Robin ask, he was stunned and said, "No, you arranged it well."
It was obviously perfunctory, Robin sighed inwardly, and Cecilia frowned, but Andrea was unhappy: "At this time, I will still hide it. I will teach this apprentice in vain."
Wang Qinian felt ashamed, and a sentence came out of his mind: "Bitch is just pretentious!" Isn't this talking about himself! He smiled awkwardly: "I have an immature idea, we cannot be passively beaten."
"Tell me," Robin's eyes lit up, and everyone turned their eyes to him.
Wang Qinian stood up, walked to the map, and pointed to a point on the map: "This is the Rage Lion Castle, more than 200 miles away from us. This is a small market town not far from the Rage Lion Castle, with a population of about 500."
"You are going to get angry lion castle. I advise you to give up. We will put all the rage lion castle. Can we win? The success rate is less than 10%, and the casualties are too large." Sam said, and everyone nodded.
"I'm not trying to capture the Rage Lion Castle. I just need to do what I want to attract the enemy. I just need to make a stand and let the Count of Normandy retreat to the army for rescue." Wang Qinian said.
Everyone's eyes lit up. This method was feasible. Robin said, "How many people are needed? Who will lead the troops there?"
Everyone calmed down suddenly. A general thought about it and stood in and said, "I'll go, at least five hundred people." Everyone asked for his orders, and Robin looked at Wang Qinian.
"Two hundred people are enough!" Wang Qinian said with a wry smile, "I am the proposer of this plan, so I'll go."
"Isn't two hundred people too few?" Robin suspected.
"Two hundred people are enough, and it's not good to take down the Rage Lion Castle. If there are too many people, it will be bad. The suddenness of the battle is lost. However, all these 200 people must be cavalry, and at least one quarter of them are archers, with some magic arrows and guns. I want to give Rage Lion Castle a false appearance, that is, we have enough strength to take down the Rage Lion Castle." Wang Qinian said lightly.
After hearing this, Robin nodded and said, "Okay, I will prepare eighty archers for you, twenty of whom are magic archers."
Wang Qinian nodded: "Then it's not too late."
Andrea shouted, "Wait, I'll go with you!"
Wang Qinian browed: "What are you doing with me? You are still with Robin and the others."
"No! I am also a knight. Although I have not yet inspired the sword energy, I have a magic sword and the hidden weapon you have created for me. I want to go with you!" Andrea said angrily.
Robin and Cecilia looked at each other, Cecilia nodded slightly, and Robin said, "Please, please, you just take Andrea with you, she is not a weak person."
Wang Qinian looked at Robin and the others and sighed in his heart. Andrea is still young, so you just want to use her to restrain me. It's okay, I'm going to leave and won't come back after this battle.
"Okay, but you have to obey the command." Wang Qinian smiled and went out. When he was about to pass the door, he seemed to remember something. He turned around and said to Robin: "The military power of the Tamil Principal on the border can be mobilized to give some pressure to the Count of Normandy."
Andrea was excitedly following Wang Qinian out, and Robin said to Cecilia: "Is this appropriate? Andrea has a good impression of Qinian and doesn't know what love is."
"If she likes, let her go. This person is a talented person. If you can use it for yourself, you will use it for yourself. This time you did a very good job. When he comes back, he will have concerns if he wants to leave." Cecilia said.
"Yes, he is a talent. Since he has come to me, he will keep him whatever he says. He knows a lot about me, but there is no need to mobilize Tamil soldiers. I think Tamil soldiers will be prepared for themselves." Robin smiled.
A cavalry of 200 men went north first and then east, almost passing by the Count of Normandy. At night, the camp was set up and the scouts dispersed. Wang Qinian recruited five captains to have a meeting, each team of forty people, which was considered a relatively large scale.
In the tent, Wang Qinian spread the map: "We will probably reach Laishui Town, ten miles west of the Ryushi Castle tomorrow at noon. There are about 500 people in this town. I want you to not let go and catch them all."
Gott said: "Sir, we are an army and cannot attack innocent people."
Others also expressed opposition, and Andrea said: "Why do you catch them? Will it increase our burden? Could it be that they are used to threaten the defenders of the Angry Lion Castle? It's useless. The families of the soldiers in the Angry Lion Castle are all in the Angry Lion Castle."
"No, don't you think we have fewer people?"
"But they have not been trained and cannot go to the battlefield. Besides, they don't need to catch them all. They just need to catch young men." Alfred said.
"I am not catching them as soldiers, but catching them to make up numbers. I want to create an army that looks like a thousand people. They are in the central army. I will guard against it. As long as they make up numbers, they can do it. No matter what, I will go to capture all the residents of the town at noon tomorrow and not let go. This is an order!" Wang Qinian did not discuss with them, but issued an order.
Several people understood and nodded: "Okay, dear Your Excellency, since it is an order, we will execute it." They were still a little dissatisfied with an outsider who came to lead them without saying anything. Wang Qinian directly suppressed it with military law. He had no time and there was no need to convince them.
When they went out, Andrea smiled and said, "You are so majestic, but this order sounds quite reasonable."
The next day, at noon, Tom was having a meal at home in Laishui Town. He recalled his youthful career as a mercenary and sighed: "I'm old, a hero will not mention his courage!" He remembered that the army had passed by a few days ago and went to encircle Robin and his gang, and the Count of Normandy was riding a tall horse, with muskets, knight brigades, and artillery soldiers in the army, all of which were majestic. He smiled and even envied, "Damn it, they were going to get rich. As a survivor of the mercenaries in the past, he stroked the dagger on his waist.
While this association, the soup in the bowl on the table started to move, causing ripples. A knight army came over, who was it? Just as they were thinking, there was chaos outside the door, people shouting and horses neighing, and they were in chaos.
Tom immediately put down the bowl, took off the big sword from the wall, and when he opened the door, he saw two knights riding on horseback, one of whom was carrying a girl on his back, and drank in his mouth: "Everyone went to the town center square to gather."
The other person laughed. When he saw the fire surged upwards, the sword in his hand rushed up. When the knight saw it, he raised his sword to greet him. With a sound of noise, Tom shook his body and couldn't help but retreat. The knight was just a entourage knight, but he naturally had an advantage in his horse. With the help of horsepower, the sword in his hand stirred. Tom felt the tiger's mouth heat up, and the sword in his hand flew out.
Tom roared, shook his hand, threw the dagger out of his waist and headed straight for the knight's throat. The knight subconsciously blocked his face with his hands. With a dagger, he shot on the chain mail, and did not hurt him. However, he was furious. The sword in his hand raised and blood flashed out. Tom's head flew up, and Tom died with his eyes closed.
Wang Qinian slowly pulled the horse, and Andrea also rode his horse to follow him. The smoke in the town rose. Wang Qinian frowned slightly, but said nothing, and flew over: "Report that the town is 523 people, both young and old, are all in the square. According to the requirements, they all carry food on their backs."
"Is there anyone injured or killed?" Wang Qinian asked.
"Three soldiers were slightly injured, and seven rebels were all suppressed."
Wang Qinian nodded, he didn't ask about anything else, and there were some bad phenomena among them. The robbers must look like robbers, saying: "Let Alfred lead them to escort them, and the whole army set out, and set up a village three miles away from the Rage Lion Castle."
One hundred cavalrymen were in front, but behind them were the townsmen, regardless of men, women, young and old, or even babies holding them in their hands, stumbled towards the Rage Lion Castle. There were only three or two households on fire in the town. The fire was not big, but the smoke was not small. The team was much slower, more than ten miles away, and it was almost dusk.
The Rage Lion Castle is located in the southern border of the Duchy of Portugal, covering an area of more than ten acres, located in the throat road, and is a military important place. People cannot mix in. The city is high and thick, and it has a protective magic circle. It is not opened at ordinary times, but it is opened in wartime. It started with the fort construction and after dozens of battles, it fell only once. In addition, the recent Normandy Earl personally conquered Robin, and was even more vigilant.
The sunset was burning in the sky, and an army appeared in the distance. Under the afterglow of the sunset, there were more than a thousand people. The outer edges were cavalry, with black armor covering them. They set foot three miles away from the castle. The knights rode forward and rushed towards the castle like two black dragons.
