Chapter 50: Battle of the Grand Heights

  Chapter 50 The Battle of Grand Heights

  Herman Barkley is coming fiercely, but Idalling seems to be prepared.

   When he led the knights and rushed into the Gran Heights, a village located in the control area of ​​Idar, he regretted that the village was empty.

   The serfs in the village had long been moved away by Old Ford, leaving only some lonely thatched houses.

   In this way, Herman Buckley "conquered" three or four deserted villages one after another, which obviously annoyed him.

   From entering Gran Heights in the morning, it is already afternoon, Herman Barkley did not even see the shadow of Idar soldiers.

   "These cowardly and cowardly Idars! This group of scoundrels! Don't even have the courage to fight us head-on?" Herman Buckley cursed.

   "My lord... we have now arrived at the southernmost point of Gran Heights. If we go further, we will almost leave Gran Heights..."

   "What do you want to say? Don't be circumspect!" Herman Buckley gave him a slanted look and said.

   "Should we take a rest here first, and then wait until tomorrow before marching directly to the city of Idar to the south?" the adjutant suggested.

From the Grand Heights to the city of Idar, it takes a whole day even to ride a horse. What's more, there are only more than 50 cavalry in the army led by Sauron. Hundreds of civilian soldiers seriously slowed down Herman Barkley’s advance. speed.

   "These **** civilians, one by one, they are lazy bastards! This lord's arrangements are all dragged down by them!" Although Herman Buckley is arrogant, he is not a fool.

   Therefore, although he hoped to fight Idar as soon as possible, he could only accept the advice of the adjutant.

   And if they leave Gran Heights and advance southward, they will enter the plain without any shelter, which is extremely disadvantageous to the army of Sauron.

   Besides, in this era, soldiers generally lack vitamin intake. Almost most soldiers are barely able to fill their stomachs. Most of them have symptoms of night blindness. It is almost impossible to march at night.

   Therefore, instead of risking a sneak attack by the Idars and continuing to march, it is better to camp again with the advantage of the terrain and wait until tomorrow to make a calculation. Anyway, the Gran Heights have been trampled under their feet.

  Although it was early spring, the wind on the Grand Heights was still exceptionally cold. After all, the altitude was placed here, and the surroundings were bare without any obstruction.

   The knights are okay. Not only do they have thick clothes, but they can also live in the huts abandoned by the Idars, and they can sleep well.

   But it suffered for the civilian soldiers. Naturally, they couldn't enjoy the treatment of the noble lords. They could only stand next to each other, trembling in the cold wind.

   casually ate some of the dry food that he carried with him, then huddled together in the cold wind and fell asleep half-dream and half-awake, and would be awakened by freezing from time to time at night.

   Waiting until the next morning, two or three civilian soldiers were frozen to death in the midst of hunger and cold.

   This undoubtedly made Herman Barkley extremely angry. Even Idar did not see it. There have been casualties in his own right. This is simply a big joke.

   So, Herman Barkley immediately ordered his troops to go south, crossing the Grand Heights and continuing south.

  ……

   There is an unknown town between Gran Heights and Idar City. It always acts as a transit point between Gran Heights and Idar City.

   And now, three hundred infantry (standby army) and fifty cavalry (guards) have gathered here for a long time, waiting for the arrival of Sauron's army.

   Bruno set a clear goal for the war, annihilating the invading enemy in one fell swoop and seizing the opportunity to counterattack Sauron collar.

   It is also for this consideration that Bruno set the battlefield here.

  The reason why he didn't fight head-on with Sauron's army in the Grand Heights, Bruno wanted to lure the enemy into deep, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop, so as to avoid leaking the wind and letting the fish slip through the net.

   Besides, the night in Gran Heights is extremely cold. Camping in Gran Heights will significantly reduce the combat effectiveness of civilian soldiers, but... noble generals like Herman Barkley will obviously not realize this.

   After all, his arrogance as a nobleman made him habitually ignore the feelings of the commoners.

   The commander of Idar's army is Sam Layton, and Bruno, accompanied by Liszt, went to the Cape Saltworks to "inspect".

  Although Bruno knows that he has a high chance of winning, but... the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, if there is any emergency, after all, there are fifty guards in the Cape Saltworks to ensure his safety.

   Finally, at noon, the army of Sauron led by Herman Barkley appeared in the sight of Sam Layton.

   And Herman Barkley naturally saw the Idar army in the distance.

   "These fearsome Idars finally appeared!" The moment he saw the Idars, Herman Buckley laughed excitedly.

  The battlefields of the two sides are in the plains, so the number of troops on both sides can be estimated at a glance. Herman Barkley saw that his own number advantage was extremely obvious, and he felt that he had a chance to win.

   However, although I feel that the winner is in my hands, I still need some steps...

   "Adjutant! Let the civilian soldiers line up! The civilian soldiers are in front~www.NovelMTL.com~ guards are behind, the knights guard the wings and prepare to charge!!"

"Yes!"

   Obviously, seeing that one's army has a clear advantage, the adjutant's voice has become eager to try.

   On the other side, Sam Layton had already been gearing up for these unexplained Sauron leaders.

   It's not just him, every soldier in the standing army has been waiting for this battle for a long time!

   The high-intensity training every day makes them eagerly looking forward to experiencing a real battle to prove themselves, not to mention that Bruno's rewards are too generous!

   Even if they die in battle, their family members will receive a high amount of pension, which leaves them no worries.

   On the other hand, the soldiers on the opposite side, one by one, were forcibly driven to fight by the noble knights. Compared with the standing army, just wearing them is a world of difference.

   Krell clenched his weapon and stood in the line.

   This was his first time on the battlefield. Although his palms were a little sweaty due to tension, he did not feel the slightest fear.

   This war is to protect the territorial integrity of Idar, and to protect the interests of all Idars!

   Therefore, not only Krell, but every soldier has no fear in his heart!

   "Offensive!" Herman Buckley shouted.

  As the army led by Sauron gradually moves forward, the long-awaited war on both sides has finally begun!
