The Bloody Crusade of the Ash Knight

The soldiers pushed the newly harvested wheat back, but the road back to Luxembourg was not easy.

There had been several rapid spring rains, and the simple bridge built on the way back was covered with mud.

The mud was slippery, so in order to prevent the grain truck from flipping into the river, the soldiers had to clean the bridge first.

The soldiers had been blocking the bridge for 2 to 3 hours to clean the mud and repair the bridge deck before it could be opened again.

The simple bridge was too narrow and could only pass one grain truck at a time, so the soldiers spent another two hours.

Along the way, soldiers needed to carry vehicles through muddy sections, and soldiers were required to deal with mud bridges, broken bridges, boulders, and large pits.

After a few spring rains, the originally smooth road turned into potholes.

"Hey...hey...hey..."

Da Vinci sighed along the way.

Originally, after harvesting the spring grain, the orc army was still far away from the grain harvesting army.

However, the poor road conditions on the way back made the soldiers march slowly, and now the orc army was almost touching their buttocks.

Walking through Caonianzi Valley, the smoke and dust raised by the orc army got closer to me.

Another 40 miles further is the slope where the elite knights blocked the orc army last year.

After the plunder last year, the orcs were chasing too fast. Andil led 5,000 elite knights to attack the 50,000 orc army!

As the battalion commander of the elite knights, Da Vinci experienced this charge first-hand.

Back then, the brothers followed the lord, joking and singing, and were directly defeated by the tauren army...

"Everyone is here, hurry up and take a few steps! Get rid of all the old scalpers, and the sergeants will all contribute to speed up the team!"

"Ying Zheng, we are still 100+ miles away from the Lucerne Gorge. If we abandon the cattle at this time, our brothers will not be able to push us back."

"Who told you to abandon the cows? Take all the magic cows. I just said that the orcs are chasing us to the bottom. Brothers, speed up and move forward first."

The main force sped up and Da Vinci gathered all the cavalry together.

Passing by the old slope, Da Vinci ordered the soldiers of the New First Army to go first, while the cavalry stayed where they were.

"Do you all remember this hillside? The lord led us to charge here..."

"Of course I remember! Yingzheng, the lord has been made an earl. He can no longer be called lord in the future."

"No, I have been following the earl since I was a soldier. In my heart, the earl is the lord!"

"Hey, whether it's the lord or Count Olson, they are the leaders of our elite knights. Hehehehe..."

"Yingzheng, do you have any ideas when you bring your brothers here? The orcs are chasing you too fast. Do you want to repeat the feat of the lord last year?"

"Hehehehe, Xiaoqi is on point! Brothers, we have done this kind of thing more than once, go up the slope and charge into the formation. Please follow me later!"

"Yes!!!"

Da Vinci came from a lower class and was accustomed to starvation since he was a child. He valued food more than his own life.

This time I went out and harvested 3 kilograms of spring wheat. Da Vinci would not leave this much food to the orcs behind him!

The beast flag dances in the wind. After last year's war, the tauren army has been well tempered.

There are 50,000 orcs in a rigorous military formation. Although the military formation is not as good as the human army that has been trained for many years, it is already considered orderly among the orcs.

One hundred thousand oxen's hooves stepped on the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

The elite knights have naturally experienced the strength of the minotaurs. This year's brave tribe is obviously different. After experiencing the hardships of life and death, and the baptism of escape, this minotaur army has obviously undergone a transformation.

Standing on the hillside, looking at the orc army approaching, Da Vinci frowned.

Only 10 miles away from the orc army, the elite knights are now ready to attack.

"Brothers! Check your equipment and prepare to charge!"

Seeing the tauren's military appearance, the knights on the slopes felt a little nervous. They were all veterans, so they naturally knew what kind of military formation was easy to bully.

"The opponent is very tough, let's just cut to the sidelines! Don't fall behind, let's rush once and leave!"

The orcs were still 5 miles away. This distance was the best distance for the knights to charge. Before charging, Da Vinci explained again.

"Elite Knights, charge!!!"

"kill!!!"

Da Vinci held the knight's spear and pointed directly at the orc army. His knights followed Da Vinci and charged together.

First, he fired three rounds of javelin at the orcs on the left wing. After the javelin shot, Da Vinci led the knights to attack the orc army on the left wing.

Three rounds of javelins chipped away at the orcs' front line, and Da Vinci plunged straight in through the gap in the front line...

"kill!!!"

The collision of steel and flesh, the tauren come with hatred, each of them is not afraid of death...

The spear moved, bringing up a cloud of blood mist, taking away every living life.

Da Vinci took the lead and showed the momentum that an elite knight should have.

After the reorganization of the elite knights, the overall strength has been further improved, and the average strength has reached level six.

As the leader of the thousand-man camp, Da Vinci was already a seventh-level knight.

The tauren army rushed past from the left wing. Although the charge was difficult, the hard power of the elite knights was there.

Looking back, out of the knight camp of a thousand people, only about 700 people were killed.

You can't look back at this time, let alone stop. Da Vinci controlled the magic horse to make an arc, turned around during the charge, and headed straight for the Lucerne Gorge.

In one charge, more than a thousand orcs were killed, but more than 200 of his soldiers were lost. This charge cannot be said to be a loss, but it is definitely not a profit.

Da Vinci completed the turn and headed straight towards the Lucerne Gorge. Behind the knights, a thousand tiger-headed men, using their hands and feet, came straight towards the knights at full speed.

"Yingzheng, tiger-headed man!"

Da Vinci naturally knew the strength of the tiger-headed man. He glanced back and found that when the magic horse was running at full strength, the tiger-headed man could not catch up.

"Go forward at full speed! This place is too close to the orc army, we can't get entangled with the tiger-headed people!"

Both sides chased and fled, heading straight towards the Lucerne Gorge.

At this moment in the Lucerne Gorge, five thousand soldiers were running wildly carrying grain carts.

The smoke behind them told everyone that there were two teams behind them, coming one after another.

"You idiot! You take the magic cow and go first! If the magic cow doesn't pull goods, it will definitely run faster!"

"Oh!"

150 magic cows were taken away by a centurion, and the captain of the centurion was nicknamed Er Fool.

The magic cow is powerful, but also has a bad temper. If there are 150 magic cows, as long as they lose their temper, the way forward will be blocked.

If it is normal, if the road is blocked, it will be blocked. But now is the time to escape, and the team transporting food can only make the soldiers work harder.

Everyone is a regular soldier, and everyone has fighting spirit. It is easy to lift a grain cart. Besides, the road in Luxembourg Gorge is smooth, and the grain cart only needs to be pushed...

The army of grain transporters lined up and entered the canyon. Not long after, Da Vinci rushed into the canyon with more than 700 cavalry.
