Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 6 Chapter 2: Ambush (Part 1)

"Quick, keep up!" Baron Boris led the cavalry first, and he was still urging some lagging infantry behind to keep up.

   But the plunder has been going on for almost a day. The army under Boris is already exhausted. The cavalry is good, but the different soldiers are exhausted and panting. But revenge on the enemy is imperative. Boris will not give up halfway. He wants to talk about his credit when he comes out. If he burns his village, he will definitely not stay.

   So simply abandoning the infantry that could not keep up, Boris took his cavalry and the Chincha people and prepared to march hurriedly to the last village. This is the territory where his enemy Baron Fister's income accounted for the largest proportion. Destroying it would not be a avenger, but it was a breath of anger in his heart for a while. By then, the opponent who has no territory will certainly not be able to make a comeback, and Boris, whose heart is full of flames of revenge, is now urging to march again.

However, the other vassals next to him said anxiously: "My Lord Baron, we just leave the infantry like this, whether it's a little unsafe! We have to climb a mountain in front of us, if there is one. just in case……"

"What are you afraid of? Pfister has been beaten by me like a bereavement dog, and I don't know where he fled. He left two or three thousand people in the previous battle. Who is there to stop me now? But if he is true Dare to roll over, then it's natural to be better! Our new hatred and old hatred are counted together."

   gritted his teeth and said, Boris did not pay attention to the persuasion of his subordinates at all, and devoted himself to rushing on the road, for fear that the other party had already got the news and slipped away.

So under the control of Boris, the cavalry unit he led soon left the follow-up army far away and arrived on the mountain that was the only way. Although he said he was not afraid, he really got here, Baron Boris. Still decisively ordered to slow down and watch the changes in the surrounding environment. After all, this mountain pass is too dangerous. In the event of an ambush in the middle, no matter how mighty the army, tied into this valley will be fatal.

   "Master Boris, we..."

   "Send scouts all the way to investigate first." The man gave a safe battle order.

   So a team of light cavalry went in to find the way, and their task was to detect possible ambushes.

   After a while, Boris, who was a little impatient, waited for the report from the scouts he sent back.

   "How's it going inside?"

   "We investigated every place and determined that no one was lying in ambush in the dangerously hidden place. Safe!"

   "That's good, it seems that we have been worrying too much, and the coward of Fister didn't have the guts to come and ambush." ​​Said sarcastically, Boris was somewhat proud and disappointed.

   As long as there are no ambushes guarding the dangerous place, then this seemingly dangerous place is convenient and there is nothing to worry about. I saw Boris waved his hand, and the Chincha cavalry, who could not wait, rushed to the front.

   But entering this inconspicuous valley, Boris, who has been on the battlefield, felt that something was wrong.

   "My lord, what's the matter with you?" Looking at the baron who looked wrong, the men beside him couldn't help being a little curious. It was obvious that the scout had already spied the inside. Are you sure there is no problem?

"It's weird! Look at these things on the ground, something is wrong..." Boris muttered to himself, looking at the many messy footprints and horseshoe prints along the way. This was obviously left behind soon, and it was not a trace of the scouts. There are still some haystacks on the side of the road, and there is a faint smell of oil.

   "Is it possible that these are ambushes set by the enemy?!" The Bulgarian riders who were also a little wary couldn't help but look around.

   But at this time their Lord Baron laughed again, "That's it, that's it..."

   "Master Boris, what are you laughing at? Do you see anything again?" The nervous subordinates looked at each other, wondering what was going on.

Boris smiled happily, pointing to the traces on the ground and the pile of firewood, and said: "At first I was a little worried, but Pfister really didn't let me down. The fact that that straw bale had the courage to organize an ambush really made me admire me. , It's his technique, it's so clumsy that I want to laugh." The man rode on the horse and mocked loudly, pointing to the faintly oily haystack on the ground and mocking again, "Can this also be called an ambush?"

   Pointing in the direction of the past, the other Bolgar officers looked over, and it turned out that the strange haystacks are really abrupt. Anyone can guess that something is wrong.

"Perhaps they wanted to set up an ambush here, and wanted to put down the torch and light the firewood to attack the firewood while we were on the way. It's a pity that the sky hasn't darkened even the traces have been erased before they saw us come. , This was the one who ran away in a hurry and left these half-completed traps." A little nobleman checked the surroundings and analyzed, while the others also nodded, feeling that it was indeed the case.

   In short, the other party's ambush is really not clever, and also very timid. Halfway through, seeing them come and handing off to the dangerous place. It seems that Fest and his army have been overestimated before.

   "However, sir, it seems that the enemy should have known that we are here too! Maybe they have arranged for people to evacuate."

"Yes, hurry up, while they haven't run far!" Boris, who just remembered, immediately slapped his thigh, and immediately told the Qincha to open the way. Anyway, there are no ambushes in the valley, and there is no need to be cautious on the road. He doesn't allow it. The prey in hand ran away.

With an order, the troops that were still tired of horses immediately became energetic. Without paying attention to their cowardly opponents, everyone rushed towards the exit of the valley~www.readwn.com~ and led the army forward. Boris still stared contemptuously at the trap that was halfway through the ground, thinking that if he said anything, he would give up this last line of defense.

   But thinking like this, Boris, who had entered the valley with his army on horseback, suddenly noticed something strange that he couldn't tell. It seems that the surrounding environment has changed, but I can't figure out what it is.

   subconsciously looked around again, there are more haystacks stacked here than before...stacked here, but how come the oily smell is heavier compared to the previous one? When I got here, it suddenly became a lot lighter. Could it be that the person who placed it in a hurry forgot? Or something else!

   Boris, who was talking to himself, sniffed the faint smell of oil in his breath, suddenly thought of the man here, his complexion suddenly froze, and his wide-eyed heart felt cold.

   It's not good, I won!

   "There is an ambush!"

   But before the discolored Boris had time to make this yell, a violent explosion sounded in front of him, and then the screams of the people in front of him were heard. In the next second, among those motionless haystacks, the sharp short spear slammed out and pierced the unsuspecting Bulgar cavalry on the horse...
