Chapter three hundred and seventy-four: against [Hutton]
"Earl Hutton!" Even in the camp at a slightly chaotic night, the messenger still didn't take much effort to find the nobles: "The Duke of Phoenix ordered the Lord to organize troops to resist the enemy! Appropriate pursuit is allowed!"
"Okay, Lord Phoenix finally gave me a chance to be loyal to the East!" Earl Hutton, who was deploying soldiers, was suddenly excited - he was a middle-aged nobleman in his forties and was quite loyal to the East;
However, before, either he followed the operation of the Eastern Frontier troops or Noah was alone in the limelight, and all the nobles were a little unwilling to accept it.
Since he was asked to take on the heavy responsibility of resisting the enemy, it means that he could be on the front line without having to personally dispatch soldiers at the core of the camp;
After giving several orders to the servants beside him, he led several heavy cavalrymen around him in armor and holding large shields toward the enemy's attack - it was precisely because of this that he was very easy to find.
This is the "military tactic" of the nobles in the East during their battles. They must have several heavy cavalry to defend the safety of the commander. However, since this will become quite conspicuous, many nobles did not intend to adopt it at all.
By the time Hutton arrived at the edge of the camp, the enemy's raid, the enemy holding torches had already begun to burn the camp's tents-they lit firewood and threw it onto the cloth of the tent;
The oil-soaked fabric quickly burned, echoing the torches held in the hands of those people, and it looked very nervous;
At the same time, some of the Korri people also used rockets to shoot the camp, so that the camps that were not attacked were also covered by fire.
At this moment, a small part of the Eastern Army in this camp was killed and most of them were defeated. There were only about a thousand soldiers hoarded in this camp, and they were no match for the enemy at all;
Under the command of the tenth captains and centuries, these soldiers began to roughly gather into the team and their morale became more stable.
"Hey, you centurions, stand behind me and organize your formation!" Hutton ordered the centurions who were shouting in the fire. His noble status was still very useful at this moment. The centurions gathered with their soldiers and lined up behind him.
Noah, standing in the distance, looked at Hutton's command and almost cursed: Why is this guy not working out at all?
Let the centurions lead the soldiers to block the front first! Will Guang gather behind him and line up to watch the enemy burn the camp?
The attackers holding torches still had no intention of invading the Eastern Frontier camp tent; they were just burning the camp tent on the edge and shooting rockets, rather than damaging them, as if they were... provocation.
Fortunately, the level of training for the soldiers in the East was relatively high; they quickly moved closer to their commanders, and if they could not contact their superiors, they would join the firefighting team;
Not long after, more than twenty centurions gathered around Hutton - it was not that Hutton was timid, but that he learned the "command tutorial" as he wrote: You must organize the team and then set off!
Such a number of people must be enough to hit the enemy - under such an idea, Hutton finally drew his sword.
"Long live the East Realm!" Every East Realm nobleman made a very standard in taking the lead in charge.
More than 2,000 Eastern soldiers rushed toward the enemy who was burning the camp along the main roads and several branches of the camp. Whether they were watching the battle from afar, or Hutton, who was commanding the charge, they all thought there would be a hard battle next;
However, what puzzled Hutton was that when the East Army soldiers charged, the attackers turned around and ran away.
The two brothers were a little stunned: Even if it was not easy to judge the number of enemies in the fire, the attackers were at least twice as many soldiers as they had assembled... At least you can fight them symbolically?
This... can you also be called soldiers? You are simply a brave thief! Hutton was angry and urged his horse to run faster.
What made him even less understand was that these people did not turn around and run into the woods like last time, but ran to the north along the area between the camp and Wang Guanshan-
Phoenix quickly understood their intention: they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to be hunted to pass through the Valley of Kings and reach other mountainous areas!
How could this make them succeed? Without Phoenix's separate order, the soldiers of other battalions who had already assembled began to launch a fierce attack on the flanks of these abominable attackers;
The attacked "flames" immediately dispersed; they did not carry out any decent resistance, even if the number of enemies was much smaller than them;
The brothers could see that the fire began to spread into the mountains, and then was blocked by the woods and disappeared...
This cowardly situation is not something that Hutton can tolerate? Finally, he had an opportunity to command the battle, but the enemy did not intend to face the enemy head-on!
You can't waste this opportunity, you must make some achievements! Hutton thought so and ordered the centurions to take their soldiers up the mountain to pursue them;
Originally, he planned to dismount and chase the mountain together, but the heavy cavalry guards around him dissuaded him - it was not "you want to ensure safety", but "If you go to pursue, who should the Duke's order be passed to?"
Phoenix knew how unfavorable it was to fight the Corey people in the forest, but it was not a solution to keep going like this. We couldn't let them leave every time they had to do damage, right?
The soldiers from the East rushed up the mountains bravely - however, the attack seemed not as smooth as before...
Earl Hutton began to hear screams coming from the woods, and the sounds...some seemed a little familiar.
Perhaps they should be allowed to retreat temporarily... After all, the Duke said it was to pursue appropriately; but if they were let go now, would they easily provoke and attack next time?
Earl Hutton was looking at the mountains and thinking; he did not notice the danger that was approaching around him.
In the jungle, a small army of Central Army soldiers without holding torches emerged;
They acted quickly and had clear goals—just to attack Hutton!
"Be careful, Hutton-!" Noah, who was watching on the observation deck, shouted at the top of his lungs-he noticed the approaching shadow!
However, the distance was too far, and Hutton could not hear it at all;
By the time Count Hutton noticed, the raiders were only a few feet away from Hutton.
Hutton, who was thinking about being interrupted by the people around him, saw the sudden enemy holding a shiny sword in his hands and a fierce light on his face...
His first choice can be called a brave man, but not necessarily a qualified commander.
"Roar! Kill these guys!" He took the heavy cavalry guards and killed them directly.
