Chapter 168 Ambush in the Forest

Several heavy cavalrymen rushed over and took a bundle of ropes from their waists, tied up Ise, and a soldier found the iron helmet.

"Carry him back." Simon saw this and whispered.

"Yes!" The heavy cavalrymen responded, and carried Ise and followed him back to the bandit camp.

At this time, the battle here was over, and Simon's side won a great victory with zero losses.

After all, they had both numbers and military strength, and it would be too unreasonable not to crush them.

"Get on the horse! Tell the hundreds of elite bandits that their leader has been captured."

Simon glanced at the battle situation in the north and ordered.

"Yes!" The heavy cavalrymen responded loudly, rushed out of the bandit camp, rode on their horses, and one of them tied Ise to the horse.

They quickly came to the flank of the main battlefield and shouted, "Put down your weapons! Your leader Ise has already..."

After a while, the commander of the hundreds of elite bandits found Ise tied to the horse and was shocked.

This man is also a good fighter, but now he is being attacked from three sides and his boss has been captured by others. He really can't stand it.

Not long after, he hung up the white flag and surrendered.

"The whole army retreats three steps!" Sarit ordered when he saw this.

The guards responded quickly, but the shield spearmen began to retreat after a while.

"Brothers! Put down your weapons! They won't kill us, and our hometown will definitely pay to redeem us!"

The commander of the elite bandits said so.

They threw away their spears and shields one after another.

"Retreat! Everyone retreat!" Sarit shouted, and immediately many soldiers shouted together.

The elite bandits followed their orders, like eggplants hit by frost, and the guards immediately rushed over to collect all the spears and shields.

The battle ended here.

Simon rode his horse to Sarit's side and frowned, saying, "You and the patrol team stay here to guard the prisoners and let them take off their armor.

I will take the guards to the east woods to have a look. Hilde has not appeared yet, so he must have encountered something."

"Yes! Baron!" Sarit saluted and responded.

Simon immediately began to gather the guards and then headed towards the woods in the east.

It is not suitable to ride in the forest, so the cavalry stayed outside. He also turned over and dismounted, leaving his mount to the guards.

After that, he led the soldiers into the woods.

According to the plan, Hilde should have fought out of this forest.

The trees here are dense and the visibility is poor. After Simon led his men into a hundred meters, he vaguely heard a sound of shouting and killing.

Not far in front of him, he immediately thought: "Could it be that the bandits also arranged an ambush in this forest? Did Hilde and the others just run into them?"

"Prepare for battle!" Simon ordered immediately.

"Yes, sir!

There is something going on ahead, get ready for battle!" Mailan responded, and conveyed the message with the other guards in turn.

The soldiers quickly raised their weapons, and five or six heavy infantrymen and dozens of foot soldiers pushed forward.

"The third team pushed to the left wing! No retreat! Those who retreat will be killed!"

A clear roar reached Simon's ears, and at the same time, he also vaguely saw some scenes in front.

There were two armies fighting in the forest, and the battle was in full swing. The clothes of one of them were the East Guard.

The shield spearmen's equipment was not very flexible in the forest, so they fought more rigidly and were on the defensive as a whole, but they did not suffer much.

Hilde was a heavy infantry spearman, and he was very good at commanding such battles.

The soldiers of the East Guard formed a formation like a hedgehog, marching steadily.

"Kill! Support the East Guard!" Simon observed the battle situation briefly and shouted the order immediately.

"Yes! Kill!!" Mai Lan and others shouted and led the troops to rush forward.

Simon was not far behind, and quickly rushed forward, stabbing and slashing with his sword, and knocked down two elite bandits wearing iron light armor.

The other guards were also like wolves and tigers, and killed 20 to 30 bandits in one charge, and the enemy's formation was immediately in chaos.

"Lord Willich! It's bad! Their reinforcements are here, and our left rear wing is attacked by a large number of enemy troops!"

Outside Simon's field of vision, there was another bandit leader wearing plate chain mail and with extraordinary demeanor sitting in the center of the army.

"It seems that Iser is finished! We underestimated Simon Hollen, so we have to make a long-term plan.

Retreat! Push those bandits forward.

After you get rid of the pursuit, meet up at the Sanchakou camp." The man ordered with a gloomy face.

"Yes!" The heavily armored warrior took the order and hurried away.

Willich set off early with some of his trusted followers and left the battlefield in the southeast direction.

Simon was killing people everywhere, and the saber in his hand was invincible. There was no enemy who could match him.

In such a short time, he had killed more than 20 people.

The bandit group was defeated and fled.

"Don't chase the desperate enemy! Officers at all levels should gather their troops on the spot!" Simon shouted.

Among the soldiers of the East Guard, only the Seren soldiers are suitable for jungle combat, and the other soldiers are shield spearmen or archers suitable for plains.

The field of vision in the jungle is too short, and it is not suitable to pursue to expand the results of the battle.

"Yes!" Mai Lan responded and immediately ran to convey the order.

After a while, the elite of the bandit group all retreated, most of the scattered bandits were killed, and the rest fled like headless flies, no one knew where they had gone.

The East Guard regrouped, cleaned up the battlefield, and walked out of the forest with the Guard.

In addition, Verrill's army followed.

I don’t know why, but they were so disgraced that many of them were stained with blood and looked very miserable.

"Lord Baron! I'm very sorry! I was unable to bring the Eastern Guards to support your battle in time."

Hilde found Simon and bowed and confessed.

"It's okay, you have already done a good job, otherwise the bandit's ambush will cause us great losses." Simon shook his head and comforted.

"How did you encounter the bandits?" he asked immediately.

"Sir, it's like this. We originally wanted to use the cover of the woods to move to the east side of the bandits by the river, and then advance in formation to launch an attack.

But Baron Verrill's men happened to run into the bandits who were ambushing here...The battle broke out unexpectedly..."

Verrill told the story in detail.

After Simon heard this, he immediately understood why Verrill was so miserable. It turned out that he was the robber who discovered it first.

Naturally, they have to fight first, and his subordinates are basically mercenary groups. Their discipline is worrying and they lack rules.

Heavy casualties are inevitable in a fight.

"Baron Simon! Is there no problem with you there?"

While Simon and Hilde were chatting, Verrill, who was sweating, pushed away the mercenary and walked over, greeting him with a concerned look on his face.

"Brother, don't worry! I have defeated the bandit group on the river bank and captured their leader.

This battle is thanks to you for discovering the bandit ambush in the woods, otherwise we would be in danger. Simon laughed.

"It's just good luck. There are too many bandits in the Sanshan Territory. Let's go back quickly."

Verrill grinned and said as if he didn't care much about the casualties of his men.
