Glory Riding and Cutting
Chapter 319 Evacuation
After breakfast, Ronan continued to set off with the troops. In Fort Busenger, Aldridge reassigned the soldiers on duty. After fighting all night, the soldiers had to rest, but they couldn't all rest. Therefore, Aldridge could only choose some soldiers who were still in good spirits to be in charge. On duty, we cannot relax our vigilance because of a momentary victory.
Although Mayweather's army is also very tired, they are large after all. There were still many soldiers who did not play yesterday. It cannot be ruled out that Mayweather may launch an attack again while they are tired and resting.
In the days to come, there must be a possibility of being attacked at any time, so Aldridge ordered the soldiers to wear inner armor to rest, and just put on outer armor when fighting, and except for the time of eating and standing guard, they can Sleep for a while, take every time to rest, try to reduce your fatigue, and effectively maintain combat effectiveness and vitality.
The ghoul lords don't need to rest, so Aldridge also arranged them on duty on the city wall. Although their eyesight is average, their natural ability can effectively perceive living things, and they can also play a good surveillance role.
In the next few days, Mayweather launched a few more attacks, usually uninterrupted harassment, so that the defenders could not take a good rest, obviously trying to use the advantage of numbers to attack in batches, preparing to wear down the will of the defenders. Ronan has used this tactic before, so Aldridge has some ways to deal with it.
Put some blankets directly on the city wall, let the soldiers sleep directly on the city wall, and put earplugs on their ears to avoid noise pollution from Mayweather's army. Once the enemy launches an attack, the soldiers who have not slept on the city wall will wake up Sleeping soldiers.
But even so, the defenders are still very tired after a few days. Aldridge can clearly see the red blood in the eyes of the soldiers and officers walking around the city. Obviously, they are almost reaching their limit, and they have recently dealt with Mayweather. The siege of the city is becoming more and more difficult. The pendulum has been damaged due to repeated use, and it is estimated that it will not last long.
Mental exhaustion has also seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the defenders, and the casualties are increasing every day. The original 500 garrison troops are now less than 200, and the knights brought by Aldridge have also appeared a lot. For the wounded, if it weren't for the insistence of the ghoul lord and Aldridge, the city wall might have fallen.
Jieweit's eyes were also covered with bloodshot eyes, and the dark under eye bags showed that he hadn't had a good rest recently. As a lord, although he didn't participate in the battle, he didn't leave the castle either. He was so nervous that he couldn't sleep well every night.
Aldridge walked up to Jiewit, looked at Jiewit with heavy dark circles and said:
Tell the residents to pack their things and start to evacuate to the south! Take some guards and escort the residents to leave together!
Okay, my lord, what do you do then?
After hearing Aldridge's words, Jiewit was very happy, but he still asked pretendingly. Aldridge knew what he was thinking when he saw his low eyebrows.
We will evacuate at any time, but after you arrive at the target location, His Majesty's army will arrive soon. This castle is too difficult to defend, and you can already consider giving up. Go back and pack your things quickly, if you can't let go Make up your mind, if you want to live and die with the castle, I will not stop you! I can give the task of escorting the residents to other people.
No, no, my lord, I can just go, these are my subjects, and it is my duty to protect them!
Jewit immediately said with a flattering smile
Okay, let's go!
Aldridge said in a deep voice, and then turned around and walked towards the city wall while holding the sword hilt at his waist. An hour later, Mayweather's army launched an attack again, and Aldridge could only lead the exhausted defenders Reluctantly meet.
After persisting for another week, Aldridge led the soldiers quietly withdrew from Fort Busenger at night and walked towards a sentry tower in the south. And Ronan's army has also entered the territory south of Fort Busenger.
As soon as the next day dawned, Mayweather found that there were no patrolling soldiers on the walls of Fort Busenger. He immediately knew that Aldridge might have led people to retreat, so he immediately sent soldiers to the city to check, and the soldiers climbed up the walls. After going up, I found that there was no one there, so I immediately went down the city wall, entered the city and found the switch of the city gate.
Mayweather looked at the deserted city, sent soldiers to inspect it, and said:
The traces are still very fresh. Based on yesterday's situation, they should have left at night, and they should have left in less than four hours!
They have a lot of injuries, and they are not all cavalry, so they can't run very far, Xinda, you immediately lead the cavalry to pursue! But don't rush into it, you can judge the specific form yourself!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Sinda is a tall knight, wearing heavy plate armor and a huge iron barrel helmet. He is the chief knight under Mayweather, deeply trusted by Mayweather, and has been in command of Mayweather's army of heavy cavalry.
After Mayweather gave the order, Sinda immediately got on his horse, returned to the army and summoned his men to quickly run out of Fort Busenger from the west gate, and followed the traces on the road to catch up.
Time was running out, and Aldridge didn't have the energy and time to deal with the traces left by the carriages and troops. The ruts and the footprints of the horses were clearly left on the soft dirt road.
My lord, we will be overtaken soon, why don't the cavalry take an infantryman, and we speed up and rush to the sentry tower in front, so we can use the sentry tower to meet the enemy!
An officer rode to Aldridge who was on his way at the front and said, Aldridge smiled and said:
Don't worry, I just wanted them to catch up on purpose. His Majesty's troops are already near us, and we are just bait now!
The officer immediately nodded knowingly, and did not continue to ask how Aldridge got in touch with Ronan. After following Aldridge for a long time, they seemed to be able to talk to Ronan regardless of distance. It's not strange anymore, they don't know the reason, they can only attribute this to Ronan's divine power, and because of this, they are more convinced of Ronan.
The team continued to advance at a constant speed. When they were about to reach the watchtower, there was a vibration on the ground. Aldridge immediately stretched out his hand to signal the team to stop, and then a cavalryman beside him immediately got off his horse, crawled on the ground and put his ear on the ground. ground.
My lord, you will catch up with us in ten minutes at most!
The knight reported to Aldridge after listening to the calculation.
