Chapter 61: Unexpected Surprise
Along the coast of the Strait, on the entire street in front of the city gate, came the sound of rapid footsteps, the clanging of armor, and the sound of horseshoes, as over a thousand soldiers clad in black armor rushed towards General Robert's mansion.
With the help of the secret passage in the General's mansion, under the protection of over 500 personal guards of General Robert, Rain safely brought Julia, who had fainted, to the outside of the border city. After a fierce battle at each major checkpoint and breaking through the encirclement, they finally arrived safely at the foot of Luanshan Mountain, more than thirty miles away from the Xiahai Pass. The terrain here was treacherous and easy to defend but hard to attack. Over 200 soldiers took a short rest here.
Looking at the soldiers who had been exhausted from the fierce battle, thinking of the scene just now, Rayn still had a lingering fear. If they hadn't made preparations in advance, they would have...
En looked at Julia who was still unconscious in her arms, her brow furrowed, and sighed from time to time.
At this moment, the direction of Xia Hai Guan was dusty and misty all the way, then the urgent horseshoes gradually came, interrupting Lain's thoughts.
"Airi, Rosetta, Fereslis, hurry and escort Julia to the Day Moon Manor by the South Sea...” Rayn gave urgent orders, looking at Aili and the other three who were still grieving, as well as the dozens of fully armed female soldiers standing behind them, all of whom were Julia's personal bodyguards.
"Captain Laine, aren't you coming with us?" exclaimed the petite blonde girl Aili, her voice full of surprise. The others also looked puzzled.
"Airi, hurry up and execute the command. I'm the highest commander here now." Rain said impatiently, handing Yuria over to them as he spoke, then rushed forward without hesitation.
Airi, Rosya and others supported Yulia, driving the carriage that had been waiting for a long time by the road, rushing all the way. Under the escort of dozens of female bodyguards, Yulia left the Luanfeng Mountain area, which was about to become a cruel battlefield.
Over a hundred soldiers, under the command of Laine, hid in rock piles and forests along the way, preparing to ambush the pursuing rebels again.
The sound of horseshoes drew closer and closer, as these rebels wearing black armor with red ribbons on their heads entered the encirclement. With a single order from Rain, crossbows, short spears, and giant rocks crazily attacked these rebels. The scene became chaotic with miserable cries, neighing horses, and everything was in disarray.
"Kill!" Reyn held a lightweight circular shield in his left hand and swung a long sword with a cold light in his right hand, shouting loudly as he charged forward crazily towards the rebel troops who had lost their formation.
The soldiers hiding on both sides of the road also shouted loudly, waving their long swords, knives and spears, and rushed forward frantically.
Arrows, javelins and rolling boulders, as well as tripwires for horses, inflicted heavy casualties on the cavalry unit of over 300 men. The rugged terrain also prevented them from taking advantage of their mobility, ultimately leading to close combat.
Ran charged forward with abandon, his long sword flashing quickly, and any enemy soldier who was near him suffered a disaster. One sword, one man, quick battle, quick decision, the part of the long sword's attack was the neck of the enemy, which was the weak point of the armor-clad soldiers.
Soldiers with long spears attacked the rebels who were still on horseback, their movements swift and precise, almost one shot one kill. These soldiers had followed General Robert for many years, experienced countless battles, and were brave and skilled in combat. Here they performed flawlessly, causing the rebels to flee in disarray, retreating step by step.
Those soldiers with shields, short knives and long swords were in high spirits, their eyes red from killing. Even after dozens of rebel troops retreated in a crazy escape, they continued to frantically chop the heads of soldiers who had been dead for some time, leaving no bodies intact. The scene was a river of blood, too horrific to behold.
"That's enough! The enemy has retreated! Cease fire!" Rayn finally couldn't bear it anymore, shouting loudly, the soldiers finally came to their senses, quickly clearing the scene and cleaning up the spoils of war, including weapons and horses.
Those more than thirty rebel troops who fled in a crazy manner, looked flustered and frightened, the previous battle had scared them out of their wits, they did not expect that General Robert's guard would be so crazy, with such brutal means, completely disregarding their own safety, some soldiers even held the idea of dying together, they suffered heavy losses.
Now they are in a very dangerous situation, attacking is death, retreating to the Shanhai Pass is also death. When they were hesitating, they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes and urgent footsteps rushing from the direction of Shanhai Pass.
"Reinforcements have arrived, brothers, charge!" Someone shouted loudly, these abandoned and routed rebels suddenly rose in momentum, and began to frantically charge back into the battlefield from earlier.
"Defensive formation, crossbowmen and archers at the ready! Light cavalry on both wings, await my command! Prepare to charge at any moment!" Reynn rode his tall horse, majestic and powerful, holding his sword high as he loudly issued orders.
After the fierce battle just now, dozens of soldiers were killed or injured, and there are only more than 80 people left. Many soldiers still have minor injuries.
After clearing the battlefield, there were more than 20 cavalrymen holding shields and short spears that could be thrown, divided into two wings of the troops. In the middle were infantrymen holding long spears and shields. The armor was all collected from the corpses of those rebel soldiers, some of which were tattered and worn out. Along both sides of the road were more than a dozen crossbowmen and archers waiting in formation.
The rebel army that had just fled in disarray came charging back again, with hundreds of reinforcements behind them. The front row consisted of over a hundred lightly armored cavalrymen, while the rear was made up of fully armed infantrymen, accompanied by the sounds of bows and crossbows, and even...
Reyn's brow furrowed, he waved his sword, then clamped his legs around the horse's body, and the entire troop began to slowly advance forward.
Suddenly, the remaining rebel troops who had been attacking wildly stopped in their tracks and began to form a defensive formation. Some of the soldiers occasionally turned their heads back, anxiously waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the rear.
"The cavalry on both wings are ready to charge, the rest of the soldiers stand by!" Rein re-deployed and issued orders, then put away his sword, quickly picked up a throwing javelin from the horseback and urged the horse to rush forward.
"Charge...!" The cavalrymen on both wings urged their horses to gallop, holding short spears and shouting loudly as they charged forward crazily.
