I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Alpha led the cavalry to set up an ambush in Qishan, waiting for the bandits to arrive. However, as time passed, the bandits did not show up. Alpha began to feel uneasy. He knew that this bandit organization was always cunning, but he did not expect that the other party would be so patient.

The soldiers began to get impatient, having waited for hours, and some even began to doze off. Alpha realized that if they continued to wait like this, they might miss the opportunity, so he called all the soldiers together and expressed his concerns.

Alpha told the soldiers that the bandits might have discovered their ambush or changed their route, and asked the soldiers to be vigilant and be ready to deal with any situation at any time.

After hearing what Alpha said, the soldiers began to get nervous. They began to check their weapons, check the traps, and rearrange their patrol routes. While waiting, Alpha chatted with the soldiers, trying to ease their tension.

A few hours later, it was dawn. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the forest ahead, and the soldiers immediately went on alert. Everyone saw a group of dark shadows coming out of the forest and walking towards them. The soldiers nervously raised their weapons, ready to fight the bandits.

However, unexpectedly, this group of shadows were not bandits, but a group of villagers fleeing for their lives. The villagers told Alpha that the bandit organization had attacked their village, robbed all their property, and killed their relatives. They asked Alpha to lend a hand.

Alpha was shocked after hearing what happened to the villagers.

"Lord Alpha, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must take the initiative." Bach suggested anxiously.

"No, they have enough supplies, so they won't risk a conflict with the villagers for such a small amount of things, which would expose their whereabouts." Alpha thought to himself. The key is that so many villagers left safely, which is definitely abnormal.

"Notify the village chief and ask the villagers to move from the south. There will be a fierce battle here soon." Just when Alpha was wondering whether his judgment was wrong, he realized that the bandits seemed to be conducting reconnaissance, testing whether there were any ambushes ahead.

"Give them some food and let them leave quickly." Alpha did not give them any extra supplies. Although Alpha himself had plenty of supplies, it was too late.

"Sir, we know you are ambushing these bandits. We want to stay and help you. We only ask you to avenge us." The villagers with blood and conscience made the request.

"What about you?" Alpha was seriously short of troops. These people were able to walk out of the forest. There might be spies among them. Alpha was not sure if they would spread the news if he let them go.

"We all want to stay!" Dozens of villagers made the same choice. Only three chose to leave. It seemed that these people were all outsiders who lost some property but no other losses.

"Okay, since you are all willing to stay, then I'll trouble you. Wood and other stones have been prepared nearby. Once the enemy enters the encirclement, you will push the wood and stones down." With the help of these villagers, Alpha's cavalry squad only needs to cut off the enemy's retreat.

"Lord Alpha, the enemy is approaching, five kilometers away." The sentinel brought the latest news.

"Prepare for an ambush and wait for the enemy to take the bait." Alpha immediately gave instructions and all personnel began to clean up the scene and hide.

"Master Chief, we didn't encounter any enemies along the way. Did the officers and soldiers go back?" A bandit guessed. After all, it would be unbearable for both the enemy and their own people to stay out in the snow and ice for a whole night.

"It's better to be safe than sorry. Let the infantry move forward." Bakuzan led the cavalry to disperse on both sides of Qishan Pass, and the infantry escorted the supplies slowly through.

"Lord Alpha, at their speed, even if they encounter a tripping spur ahead, it is impossible for all of them to enter the ambush circle." Fattam, who was hiding under Alpha, asked worriedly. Because this long team was probably one kilometer long, and it was impossible to take care of the beginning and the end.

"As long as the cavalry enters the ambush circle, the infantry will not be able to escape at all." Alpha's target is the bandit cavalry. The number of both sides is now about the same. If they enter the ambush circle, as long as half of the opponent's cavalry is lost in the ambush, then Alpha will force the enemy to eat.

"Lord Alpha, the enemy cavalry has entered." However, before Fattam could get excited, only half of the enemy cavalry had entered, and the other half seemed to be waiting for the infantry to enter before carrying out the rear guard mission.

"Chief, there is an avalanche ahead, what should we do?" The roadblock ahead was covered with heavy snow. If it was not dug out, no one would know that it was man-made.

"Dig it up for me." The leader just gave the order.

Suddenly three young men rushed down the mountain. They were not the three villagers who had just left.

"Master Chief, there is an ambush here."

Seeing someone tipped off the villagers in the mountain also learned about the situation.

These three people entered the village a week ago. They turned out to be spies of the bandits. They were there to be prepared for emergencies in special circumstances, but they did not expect that they would break out at this time.

"Kill." The villagers knew they were exposed, so they immediately pushed down the wood and stones they had prepared, and the ambush officially began. However, the enemy's forces were too few and scattered, and the harassment of rolling rocks and falling trees could not cause any substantial damage, but it forced the destruction of a lot of supplies.

"Kill!" Alpha gave the order and everyone immediately took action. Only half of the enemy's cavalry were left, and the rest were surrounded in a circle.

The cavalrymen first fired a round of crossbow arrows. Although they failed to kill many cavalrymen, the infantry around the cavalrymen had been cleared out.

"Bach, get rid of them! Fatam, prepare roadblocks and tripping posts! We can't let the bandits inside rush out." Alpha led a team of people, and the remaining twenty or so people charged from the front and back.

The bandit cavalrymen were surrounded and the circle was getting tighter and tighter, and they instinctively wanted to escape. At this time, Bakuzan shouted: "Don't rush in! Wait for rescue outside."

But Bakuzan was also hit hard by the logs rolling down from both sides and couldn't run away for a while.

Seeing the sneak attack, he could only let the infantry rush up the mountain to eliminate the sneak attackers. But facing the rolling logs, it was so difficult to rush up.

Faced with the Alpha Squad's pincer charge, the bandit cavalry were stunned for a moment. Five or six of them were hacked to death in the blink of an eye. It was only a matter of time before the remaining bandit cavalry were killed.

The bandit cavalry chose to gather together and face the enemy in unison. Faced with the defense that was like a turtle shell, the Alpha team was unable to break through for a while.

"Shoot the horses!" The enemy was not a heavily armored soldier, and could not provide comprehensive protection for the horses. The injured horses howled in pain, and the cavalry could not control the horses in pain, so they could only be divided and surrounded.

"Lord Alpha, here I come." Fattam, who had prepared the tripping stakes, immediately joined the battle. With Fattam's divine power, the remaining knights collapsed instantly.

No lightly armored cavalry could withstand the destructive power of Fattam's heavy armored spear. Even if they ran away to avoid the attack, they would only become prey to Alpha and others.

"Damn, what a bunch of trash!" Bakuzan had already fought his way out of the siege, but he could only see the last knight falling at his feet.

"Kill!" At this time, the tripping stakes became an obstacle for Alpha. Although the two sides were only a few dozen meters apart, the power of the crossbow shooting was limited and could not cause fatal damage to the opponent.

"Lord Bakuzan, we have broken through the road ahead. Should we go on?" The bandit sentry brought good news.

"Watch me." Fattam actually used his spear to knock the tripping stake in front of him away.

"Kill!" Unfortunately, the enemy had already run far away. There were sneak attack logs, stones, and discarded supplies on the road. The war horses could not run at all and could only watch the enemy go further and further away.

"Fatam leads the first team to help the villagers clean up the battlefield. Bach and I will chase the enemy." In fact, Alpha knew that there was no chance anymore. After Qishanao was a mountainous area, it was difficult for the cavalry to take advantage of their speed.

"Lord Bakuzan, it's too quiet ahead, what should we do?" At this moment, with pursuers behind and an uncertain future, people are feeling extremely anxious.

"Let the infantry go first." Thinking back to his previous plan, Bakuzan regretted it deeply. He had clearly calculated the time and only needed to loot for two hours before returning to the stronghold immediately, so there was almost no danger.

However, human greed is like an endless abyss. Once swallowed by it, it is difficult to extricate oneself. Seeing the mountains of supplies, they could not resist their desire and robbed for six hours. The amount of supplies doubled, but how to transport them back became a big problem. It would be a pity to give up the supplies at this time, but they could not escape with them.

"Sir, the infantry passed safely. Perhaps we were too nervous." Just as everyone was rejoicing, Bakuzan's cavalry unit had just rushed out, and another forty or fifty cavalrymen rushed out. The leader was actually Lina. These people were sent by Will to support.

"Kill." Seeing the opportunity, Alpha gave a decisive order, and more than 20 people attacked from the front and back, fighting bravely.

Bakuzan's cavalry was no match for Alpha, and he could only rely on his infantry to resist the cavalry's attacks. But as time went on, Will's reinforcements and Alpha's cavalry had an increasing advantage, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable for Bakuzan.

Bakuzan and his men were caught in a bitter battle, waving their weapons desperately to try to stop the enemy's advance. But the enemy's offensive became more and more fierce, making it difficult to resist.

"Lord Bakuzan, we are defeated. Let's escape!" Even ordinary thieves know the current situation, let alone Bakuzan.

"Let's go. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood." Without saying a word, Bakuzan left the main army with the few remaining knights.

"Bach, Lina, each lead a team to chase the enemy for one hour." With Bach's bravery and Lina's speed, the two should not encounter any problems.

"Yes." The two of them led their teams to follow closely.

But Bakuzan was lucky. Soon Lina and Bach lost track of Bakuzan.

Although Bakuzan and his men escaped the scene, they felt deeply frustrated and lost. They were exhausted and demoralized after fleeing all the way. At this juncture, they faced another severe challenge: their rations had run out, and they lacked enough food and water to maintain the army's combat effectiveness.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, Bakuzan and others had to think about countermeasures again. They realized that continuing to escape was not a long-term solution and they had to find a new way out to regain their footing.

So Bakuzan and others began to look for some remote villages and towns, trying to snatch some new soldiers and food. In the process, they encountered all kinds of difficulties and dangers, but they always maintained firm beliefs and courage and kept moving forward.

In the end, Bakuzan and others successfully seized a group of new soldiers and food, allowing their army to be replenished and rested in time.

But at this time, Will's dragnet operation is approaching again, and what should Bakuzan do?

……

"Fatham, take care of the wounded and gather the remaining soldiers." Alpha glanced at the surrendered bandits and thought to himself. In this battle, not many bandits were captured, most of them fled to the mountains and forests.

"Lord Alpha, the enemy fled into the mountains and forests, and we lost them." Lina and others also came back and said with frustrated expressions, bringing seven or eight prisoners with them.

"Lina treats the wounded, Bach guards the prisoners, Fattam counts the results of the battle and collects supplies." Alpha rearranged the tasks.

"Lord Alpha, I'm bringing reinforcements." Unexpectedly, at this time Rowling came with more than a hundred infantrymen.

"Nonsense, aren't you afraid that these infantrymen will be wiped out?" Alpha didn't expect that Rowling would dare to bring his infantry to come here and die. Fortunately, Alpha wiped out this group of bandit cavalry in advance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"They are all citizens of the city. They suffered a disaster and wanted revenge. I can't stop them!" Rowling also felt aggrieved.

"Okay, quickly organize people to collect supplies. We can't spend the night outside." It's already one or two o'clock now, and we're cooking now. By the time the supplies are collected, it will be almost three or four o'clock.

"Has Lord Will arrived in Qishan City?" Considering the situation in Qishan City, Alpha asked Rowling.

"Lord Will is already in charge of Qishan City. Qishan City is now impregnable, Lord Alpha." Rowling explained with a pout.

"Take five people with you and go back immediately to ask Lord Will to send someone to receive the supplies." Alpha was worried that the night would be too long and he prepared to return to Qishan City before dark.

"Forget it, let's go back after dinner." Alpha knew that everyone hadn't had a good meal yet.

Alpha led the troops to escort the supplies back to Qishan City. There was no trouble along the way. When Alpha returned to Qishan City, night had fallen. Alpha found a tall figure standing on the city wall. It was Lord Will.

"Alpha, you're finally back." Will walked up to the city wall to welcome Alpha's return.

"Yes, sir. We are back safely," Alpha replied.

"Our army won a great victory in this battle and rescued many civilians. In the future, these civilians will be Lord Alpha's most staunch supporters." During the time when Alpha was away, Rowling boasted to Will.

"Brother Will, why are you being so polite to me? I am doing this rescue in your name, so all the credit is yours." Alpha politely declined Will's kindness.

"Okay, okay. Alpha will get a lot of credit. By the way, what about the prisoners of war?" Will couldn't wait. What he wanted to see most was the prisoners of war in this battle. This hidden danger that threatened the Grand Duke's rule was finally going to be eliminated.

"Don't worry, sir. The prisoners are all quite well behaved. They are currently detained in the team, awaiting your decision." Alpha stood up and continued, "There are also a lot of supplies."

"Alpha, what do you want? Just ask."
