Chapter 649： Help around the point

...



The rest of the way was silent, and because the war was urgent, they were not as comfortable as they were during the autumn expedition.



In addition to hurrying on the road, it is to rest and eat in a hurry, and there is not even a chance to sit and share food together.



Originally, it took at least four or five days to arrive at Tulip City, but it took them only three days to arrive.



Arriving outside Tulip City, the gate of Tulip City is closed at this moment, and it has entered full alert.



Fortunately, Narant and the others did not need to enter the city, so they went directly to the northwest from outside the city.



After a long journey, it was another day of rushing through the two counties, and finally it was about to reach the border connected to the Earl of Feidi this time.



"Huh! The thirteen days' journey is finally here, and I don't know what the battle situation is now!" Boris got on his horse again with a tired face.



Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the battlefield, he naturally couldn't sit in the carriage for safety reasons.



Although Narant's carriage is extremely safe, in order not to be maverick, he also rides on horses with other nobles.



"Looking at the current situation, the problem shouldn't be too bad. After all, a few miles ahead is the border of the Earl of Ferdinand, and it is only 50 miles away from Ferdinand Castle. The war has not spread, indicating that Ferdinand Castle should still be safe. "

Remember the URL 42biquge.



In fact, Narant has already detected the situation more than 20 miles ahead.



There is a huge camp more than 20 miles away, which should be the camp of the king and a group of counts.



Since the king and all the counts are safe and sound, the situation must be stable.



Just to avoid exposing his team's reconnaissance ability, Narant didn't tell everyone clearly.



After all, they are not only surrounded by the original five or six Tulip vassals, but also other noble vassals from all over the principality.



In such a mixed place, Narant doubts that there will be any Freemasonry guys.



After all, the sudden appearance of space cracks on the Prairie of Fire meant that although the church was in the north, it was confirmed that it quietly passed through the territory of the Principality and moved behind the Northern Principality.



And in this way, there must be an inner defense to cover the church, so that it can be unknowingly.



I complained a few words on the road, and soon after the 20-mile journey, everyone finally saw the big camp ahead.



They each reported their identities, and soon they were greeted by knights sent by their respective counts.



Several vassals belonging to the Tulip family were immediately led by Narant and the others, and received an audience from Bernard.



"I have seen the Count!"



"Well, sit down!" Bernard nodded, signaling everyone to take their seats.



"Lord Count, how's the battle ahead? Didn't you guys come to help Count Ferdi's Castle? Why are you stationed here?" After taking his seat, Boris couldn't help but immediately began to ask.



In fact, not only he was curious, but other vassals in Narant were also curious.



Bernard didn't have time to wait for them to meet, but now he didn't go directly to Feidi Castle to rescue, but was stationed more than 30 miles away.



"Feddy Castle is still there!" Bernard shook his head, paused, and said solemnly: "Also, we also tried to rescue!"



"Lord Count, could it be that something changed during the rescue?" Narant's own father-in-law didn't look right.



"That's right, Narant, this time the church quickly attacked the castle of Count Ferdi, and attacking the castle of Count Ferdi was just a pretense. In fact, they dispatched a large number of soldiers to ambushed on the other side of a river ten miles ahead!"



"Five days ago, when we were crossing the river with His Majesty the King, the church and the northern army suddenly rushed out. This sneak attack cost us thousands of soldiers!"



It turned out that a few days ago, when the king and a few faster counts met, they immediately rushed to the Castle of Count Ferdy.



However, more than ten miles ahead, there is a large river more than one hundred meters wide.



There is only one bridge in the big river, and the army can only rely on that stone bridge to pass.



Although there were more than 5,000 Northern Principality troops stationed on the other side of the stone bridge, the Onyx Principality still launched an attack with an advantage in numbers.



Originally the attack went very smoothly, and the earls personally went on the field and went directly to the other side, killing the 5,000 guards of the Northern Principality to the point of losing their armor and armor.



But he never imagined that these five thousand soldiers were just a bait for the church.



When the army of the Agate Principality was preparing to cross the river to pursue the victory, the church's 3,000 holy knights, plus more than 10,000 soldiers of the Northern Principality suddenly rushed out from the side and directly attacked the army of the Agate Principality.



You must know that in the request for help sent by Ferdinand, the vanguard of the church coalition was only 30,000.



They actually ambushed at least 15,000 people by the river, which shows that they did not plan to attack Ferdinand Castle immediately, but wanted to ambush the reinforcements of the Onyx Principality.



Although the king and a group of counts immediately returned to the defense after realizing the problem, they still lost five or six thousand guards because of the chaos.



Moreover, what is even more cruel is that the church does not feel bad about the life and death of the soldiers of the Northern Principality, and it has a vague idea of fighting for a lose-lose situation.



Therefore, the king's last thought was that since Count Ferdi's castle was temporarily safe, he would wait for the follow-up team on his side to arrive.



When the time comes, launch an attack together, so as to avoid being consumed by the opponent.



"Around the point to help!" After listening to Bernard's words, Narant immediately remembered this familiar strategy.



People surrounded Ferdinand Castle, but they did not immediately start a fierce attack, but instead ambushed the army for support.



In this way, you can harvest reinforcements with ease.



And that was surrounded by the Earl's Castle, and once it was captured, the whole family of Earl Ferdy was finished.



Neither the counts nor the king could really sit idly by.



"Lord Count, what are our plans now?" Boris continued to ask.



"The other side of the river is now guarded by three thousand holy knights, and the army of the northern principality has arrived one after another, so His Majesty ordered to wait for all the vassals to arrive, and then launch an attack!"



"During this period, our army is already making rafts. Now that you vassals are almost all here, the attack should start again soon."



"Yes, Lord Count!"



After the vassals understood the situation, they naturally had no other opinions. The command on the battlefield all depended on the king and the counts.



Immediately, Bernard cleared the crowd and let them go back to have a good rest.



While Narant was left alone, Bernard greeted him kindly before leaving.



Of course After leaving, Narant went to see Stella again, and after a few chats, he returned to the camp to recharge.



Time turned to two days later, and the king's order was finally issued, and the army left the camp to prepare to storm the river.



Because there has been news from the opposite side that the army of the Northern Principality has arrived under Ferdinand Castle, it is better to start the siege.



If you don't speed up the time, Ferdi Castle may not last long.



Regardless of whether the other party wants to relax or not, they have to gnaw down the hard bones.



Woohoo!



On the edge of a large river of more than 100 meters, the 50,000-strong army of the Onyx Principality was lined up neatly, under the leadership of various lords.



On the opposite side, there are also tens of thousands of allied troops of the Church and the Northern Principality waiting in battle.



"These **** are still fenced by this river!"



Before the battle, seeing the arrow towers rising from the ground on the opposite side, as well as the criss-crossing trenches, Boris couldn't help but curse.
