I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 37 Bakuzan's Conspiracy

"Sir, our supply team was attacked. Please provide support." Bakuzan's messenger stumbled over and delivered the shocking news.

"What? How is this possible!" Bakuzan was shocked when he heard the news.

Without caring about the soldiers in the city, he quickly rushed out of the door, climbed up the city wall, and looked into the distance. He saw smoke and dust billowing on the plain not far from the city wall, and the huge transport team had already been paralyzed.

"Put down your weapons, or you will be killed without mercy." Bakuzan was not as relaxed as before, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and it was obvious that the behavior outside the city made Bakuzan upset.

"I order you to lay down your weapons for the last time, otherwise you are all spies." Gurujif threatened again.

"Your position is cancelled."

"Ah!" The bewildered soldier was dismissed after only serving as the supreme commander for a few hours. The key point was that the soldier had no idea what he had done wrong.

"Save me, save me." Several bandits dragged a young girl and walked past under the eyes of everyone.

"That's my sister, I'm going to kill you." A soldier rushed out.

"They are all bandits, we can't compromise." Countless soldiers clenched their weapons and rushed towards the enemy, and the scene became chaotic again.

The orders of Lord Gurukiev have now completely lost their effect. At this moment, Bakuzan knew that the Lord was useless, but he did not kill him. Instead, he released him and let him fend for himself.

"Guard the warehouse and move all the stuff out." Not only was Gurukiev unable to command the army, but even Bakuzan's orders were not listened to by the bandits. The bandits were busy venting their animal desires and had no idea what the mission was.

"Lord Bakuzan, a group of cavalry is approaching at high speed." At this time, the sentry once again sent a suffocating message. Bakuzan climbed up the city wall and looked at the knights who were getting closer and closer. They were wearing tattered armor and holding various weapons. They looked like a group of ragtag troops.

However, Bakuzan knew at first sight that these people were strictly trained soldiers with extremely strong fighting power. They were swarming towards Qishan City, as if they were going to flatten Qishan City.

"I'm Sherman. The enemy is attacking us. Open the city gate." Alpha shouted loudly. At this moment the city gate was half-open, and the bandits guarding the gate were at a loss.

"Hurry, notify the guards, close the door immediately and prepare for battle!" Gurukifu ordered loudly.

At this time, Bakuzan already felt that his fate was in jeopardy. If he could not resist the attack of this army, then the Qishan City that he had just conquered would fall. At this moment, the soldiers in the city had not been dealt with yet, and the cavalry outside the city rushed in again, which undoubtedly gave the soldiers in the city a shot in the arm.

The guards heard the order and looked at the knights who were about to arrive, but they did not close the gate immediately. It was not until Bakuzan gave the order for the second time that the guards were sure that Bakuzan had given up Sherman.

"Fatam, break open the city gate for me." Seeing the gate about to close, Alpha picked up the crossbow and shot quickly, but the effect was very poor.

"Let me do it." Fattam was only wearing light armor. Although his defense was average, his mobility was more flexible. He directly blocked the city gate that was about to close.

"Open it for me." The dozen or so bandits behind the door were unable to close it. Under their frightened gazes, the door actually opened slowly.

"Kill." Alpha was not afraid of danger and flew directly into the city gate, holding his sword and blood and flesh flying everywhere.

With a bang, the heavy city gate was completely opened, and the following cavalry rushed in.

"Guard the gate."

The two sides quickly entered a combat state, and the bandits picked up bows, spears and shields to meet the enemy's attack.

Alpha's cavalry equipment is top-notch, so it is difficult to cause fatal damage to them with such attacks, but there are too many enemies and they are surrounded in an instant.

"Kill." Bach followed and rushed in.

"Charge in, don't fight them." There are only more than twenty people. Once they lose the speed advantage of the cavalry, their destruction is only a matter of time.

Under Bach's charge, Alpha Squad also charged out.

"We are General Will's reinforcements. The reinforcements have arrived. Counterattack the enemy immediately." Team Alpha split into two groups and spread the news of the arrival of the reinforcements everywhere.

"Reinforcements have arrived, everyone gather at the east gate." Team Alpha shouted loudly while slaughtering the bandits who blocked their way.

"Captain Alpha, those are my soldiers. I will command them." When Famas saw the guards, he immediately shouted excitedly.

"Okay, you go and command them, and we'll gather at the east gate." Alpha's strength alone is not enough to capture Qishan City. There is only hope if they rely on Qishan City's original guards.

"Lord Alpha, they are in the South City warehouse." Famas reminded loudly.

"Don't worry about them. We must gather all our strength and drive all the bandits out." If we go directly to South City now, it would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, and it would be meaningless to the entire battle situation.

"Okay, I understand." Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Alpha's cruel decision, Famas knew that Alpha's decision was correct.

"Lord Bakuzan, another cavalry is approaching at high speed." The enemy had just rushed in and disappeared into the street, and another cavalry was approaching from the other side.

"Close the west gate and use the south gate as the main defense gate. After the supplies are shipped out, we will withdraw immediately." Facing the forty or fifty knights in front and behind, Bakuzan was already timid.

"Captain Rowling, the west gate is closed. Which way should we go to enter the city?" Rowling was just a messenger, but she was Alpha's man, and everyone regarded Rowling as the person in charge at this moment.

"Go around the city." Rowling received an order from Alpha, telling her to preserve the main force and not to attack the city immediately.

In this way, the two cavalrymen, one inside the city and the other outside the city, galloped at high speed, as if they were competing with each other's speed.

……

"I am the reinforcement sent by General Will. Now Qishan City has fallen. Regardless of right or wrong, the most urgent task is to repel the bandits and recapture Qishan City. I will definitely ask for credit for all the soldiers." Alpha knew that this was not the time to settle scores.

"Now, who is in charge?" Alpha needs someone who can make the decision.

"Me?" The same soldier was pushed out, and FAMAS also stood up.

"Okay, each of you will lead half of the soldiers and split up to clear out the bandits in the city," Alpha said. "This is a serious matter, so be careful."

"Famous, come with me to the South City, we will fight against the main force of the enemy." Alpha only knew Famous, so he could only let Famous accompany him on the adventure.

The main force of the enemy was gathered at the South Gate. The bandits in the city were only a small force, but they were scattered throughout the city, making their mission quite challenging.

"I am the state lord Gurujiv. Everyone stop and protect the state lord's mansion." Unexpectedly, Gurujiv appeared in the crowd at this time.

The soldiers were staring at the prince Gurukiev with disgust, and Alpha kicked the fat man who was blocking their way and knocked him unconscious.

"Carry out the mission." Alpha didn't care about the fainted fat man. Now he had to drive the bandits out of Qishan City.

The soldiers looked at the leader they had been loyal to with disgust, but at the same time stepped on him. With everyone working together, the leader became insignificant at that moment.

FAMAS followed closely behind, acting in concert with Alpha, heading for the south gate to attack the main enemy force.

"Lord Alpha, we are here." Rowling's voice sounded from outside the city wall.

Alpha turned around and looked at Rowling outside, nodded and said, "Okay, you take the cavalry from outside the city to the south gate and wait for an opportunity to act. If the number of enemies is small, kill them; if the number of enemies is large, avoid fighting, shoot with bows and arrows, and harass them. When we fight our way out, you gather around us." It was difficult for the cavalry to take advantage of the situation in the city, so Alpha decided to assign more troops to take charge of the sneak attack mission outside the city.

Rowling understood what Alpha meant and responded readily, "I guarantee that I will complete the task."

As long as they didn't engage in direct confrontation with the bandits, the cavalry was quite good at harassment and sneak attacks from the periphery. She also knew that Alpha already had a plan and would not put himself and the soldiers in danger.

……

"Chief, a large number of soldiers are surrounding this place, how should we respond?" Now, most of the people are scattered in the city to perform tasks, and some brothers outside the city are responsible for transporting supplies. The bandits who have gathered together are no more than two hundred people, which makes them panic.

"Burn the supplies and let's leave the city." Bakuzan's face was grim and he didn't hesitate at all.

"Execute immediately!" Bakuzan ordered loudly. The bandits did not dare to disobey the order and quickly found kerosene to set the fire.

"Attack!" Seeing the thick smoke rising, Alpha knew that he could not delay any longer.

"Retreat!" Bakuzan would not fight the enemy head-on, because the warehouse had been set on fire, and the enemy would either chase him or put out the fire. Without the supplies in the warehouse, who knows how many brothers would freeze to death or starve to death this winter.

"Famas, you organize people to put out the fire, and I will lead the cavalry to pursue the enemy." Alpha had only a dozen cavalrymen, and they would not be able to resist the enemy's attack if they stayed.

"Okay, leave the affairs of the city to me." Famas readily agreed to the task in the city. After all, most of the bandit leaders had followed Bakuzan out of the city, and the remaining scattered bandits were no match for the guards.

When surrounded by soldiers, the bandit leader Bakuzan resolutely decided to abandon the original plan and ordered his men to burn the supplies in the warehouse and retreat quickly. Bakuzan deeply realized that if he insisted on the original plan, he would have no chance of winning and would cause the bandit organization to suffer greater losses. Therefore, he decisively decided to abandon the warehouse and retreat quickly.

Bakuzan's decision was undoubtedly wise, and under his command, the bandits successfully completed their retreat. However, in the subsequent pursuit, Alpha was short of manpower and could not confront them head-on, so he could only bite the bandits from time to time like a ghost. Although it was not fatal, it made Bakuzan suffer unbearably.

Bakuzan led all the knights to attack, but Alpha retreated as quickly as a rabbit, leaving Bakuzan's pursuit troops to suffer from the enemy's crossbow attacks, and finally returned empty-handed with only a few corpses left.

"Chief, what should we do? We can't escape from their pursuit at all." The bandits looked at the knight who was like a fly and felt extremely disgusted.

Bakuzan quickly thought of a countermeasure and decided to use a nearby forest as a barrier, hiding in the forest and waiting for the pursuit troops to come in. Although this was not the best strategy, it was the best option for now.

After the bandits entered the forest, Bakuzan ordered his men to build a temporary camp in the forest and sent out spies to monitor the movements of the pursuing troops.

According to the report of the spies, Bakuzan learned that the pursuing troops did not leave, but camped around the forest, obviously intending to lure the bandits into the trap.

This made Bakuzan very worried. He knew that if a solution could not be found as soon as possible, the bandit organization would likely face a catastrophe. He summoned the main leaders of the bandit organization to discuss how to deal with the siege of the pursuit troops.

After some discussion, the bandits came to the conclusion that the only way to break out was to lure the pursuing troops into the forest and then ambush them with mechanisms and traps.

So, Bakuzan ordered his men to set up a large number of traps in the forest, including animal traps, poison arrows, pitfalls, etc., and sent a small team to lure the pursuing troops into the forest.

"Lord Alpha, what should we do if the enemy hides in the forest and doesn't come out?" Rowling is now in charge of reconnaissance patrols, but does not dare to get too close to the forest.

"Bring the map." Alpha didn't dare to risk the lives of his team. If his mistakes led to the destruction of the Knights and the escape of the enemy, then the enemy would most likely break through the blockade and escape, thus causing the complete failure of this anti-bandit operation.

"The Qishan bandit camp is in the south of the dense forest. The enemy still has a lot of supplies to transport out, so they won't take a detour too far." Alpha said, pointing to the map.

The Alpha team fought all the way and didn't kill many bandits, but they did seize a lot of supplies for everyone, otherwise everyone would have to fight on an empty stomach.

"We will hold out here, Qishan'ao, until tomorrow noon. If the enemy doesn't show up, we will go back." There are only more than 30 people in the Alpha team. It is impossible for them to completely block the enemy's route. They can only adopt a fixed-point ambush strategy to sneak attack the bandits.

"Low Lin, take the two of you back to Qishan City immediately and tell them to defend the city tightly and not let the enemy take advantage of the situation." Alpha was worried that the bandits would return to Qishan City and fight to the death, which would be troublesome. However, with the strength of the Qishan City guards, as long as they did not take the initiative to open the city gates, it would be impossible for the bandits to break into the city.

"Yes." Rowling accepted the order and immediately rushed back to Qishan City.

Alpha's pursuit team monitored the bandits' movements at the edge of the forest. They firmly believed that as long as they waited patiently, the bandits would definitely come out of the forest and be exposed to their sight.

However, as time went by, the bandits seemed to have completely disappeared. Alpha began to feel uneasy, as he knew this bandit organization was very cunning, but he did not expect them to be so patient.

Alpha decided to change his strategy and led everyone to Qishanao, ten kilometers away, to wait for the enemy to fall into his trap, leaving only five people to scout and patrol the situation around the forest.

"Bach, have your men dig a tripping pit for me, and the others get ready to make a fire and cook." Alpha took Fattam around to check for possible ambush locations.

Finally, they found a good spot halfway up a mountain. It had a wide view, was easy to defend, and was not easy to be discovered.

"Lord Alpha, this is all frozen soil, we can't dig it out at all!" Bach dug for a long time but couldn't even dig out a washbasin.

"Then cut down trees, build roadblocks and tripping posts in front, and prepare in the back. Once the enemy enters the ambush circle, we will immediately close the door and fight the dog." Alpha knew very well that the frozen soil in the north in winter was extremely hard.
