Reggie chased him all the way outside Zhilin City. When he was about to catch up to the border of Zhilin City's territory, Reggie gave up the pursuit.
Tire is also in the army. With his tracking ability, it is not impossible to catch up with Charlemagne, but the artillery moves too slowly. With more than a hundred cavalry alone, a long-distance pursuit will bear huge risks. If Charlemagne is found halfway,
If you don't get reinforcements, you might get bitten back.
What's more, the situation in Zhilin City is still unstable, and the whereabouts of the new lord are still unknown. If Reggie sends out all his troops to pursue Charlemagne, Zhilin City is likely to be lost.
Having missed the best opportunity to kill Charlemagne, Reggie was somewhat depressed, and Jiawen also blamed himself. However, his duel with Andrew aroused the fighting spirit of the entire army. Until late at night, the soldiers were still fighting for their army.
Singing the hymn of victory.
The next day, Chris rushed to Zhilin City. He left five hundred soldiers for Wenna to garrison in Broken Snow City. Next, he and Reggie would march south together.
First of all, they have to judge Charlemagne's escape direction. According to common sense, Charlemagne has only two choices, either to go to Drawing City or to Golden Light City. Since he has received the news of Goel's defection, he should not go to Drawing City again.
To take risks in the city, Jinguang City seemed to be his only choice.
But Chris thinks that Charlie Mann would rather die than go to Cotai City.
"He is in love with Sophia, and he will never be embarrassed in front of Sophia." Chris took out a map and pointed to the Drawsha City Road, "There is a small road here that can bypass Drawsha City and arrive at
Qingshui County, the lord of Qingshui County has the power to recruit soldiers, Charlemagne may stay in Red Clay City for a while, waiting for his Golden Lion Army."
"The Golden Lion Legion has a combat power comparable to that of the Cambrian Knights..." Reggie's face was very solemn, and the shadow of the Cambrian Knights still lingered in his mind, "I don't want to fight them, I must break through them before they arrive.
Qingshui County.”
"It is not difficult to conquer Qingshui County, but Charlemagne has more than one choice. There are many forked roads on this path. These forked roads can lead to other cities, such as the Red Clay City in the north of Qingshui County. The lords there are very powerful.
, and Yanshi County in the west
, Hongye City in the southwest, Gray Iron Castle next to Smoky Stone County, and Huadong City in the south of Gray Iron Castle. These cities are all garrisoned by troops. The total number of garrison troops is at least 10,000. If Charlemagne sticks to one of these cities, he will be defeated.
Let’s get into a tough fight.”
Reggie shook his head and said: "I'm not worried about him sticking to the city. Attacking cities is what I'm best at. What I'm worried about is the surprise attack. If we encounter a surprise attack during the march, with our strength, it may become fatal."
The blow.”
Chris bit his lip and said: "Your worries are not unreasonable. The road conditions in this area are very complicated, and there are many places suitable for ambushes. However, we also have favorable conditions. Don't forget, you now have nearly 4,000 more soldiers."
.”
If Chris hadn't reminded him, Reggie would have really forgotten that there were more than 4,000 soldiers in Drawsha City waiting for news of Reggie's victory.
"Thinking about it on the bright side, Goel is a smart man, and he may not let Charlemagne pass this path." Chris showed an evil smile.
"Maybe Gore can stop Charlemagne, but he may not be able to stop Alice." Reggie was not as optimistic as Chris. He knew the combat effectiveness of the wizard army. "I have to ask someone to send a message to Gore immediately and call him
Don't fight Alice easily, it's not worth paying too much life for Charlemagne."
Sure enough, Reggie guessed it right, and Goel encountered the wizard army.
Charlemagne chose a small road near the city of Drawshade. Goel led the army and waited early for the arrival of His Majesty the King. He thought this was a battle without any suspense, and he would successfully cut off Charlemagne's head and present it to Reggie.
, but when Alice appeared with the wizards, the situation was completely reversed.
The wizards took the lead in launching a surprise attack on Goel's army. Most of the soldiers did not forget the shadow left by the wizards. The strange fighting method quickly disrupted their formation. Charlemagne broke out of Goel's siege, although
A dozen wizards were lost, but Goel also paid a heavy price with more than 400 casualties.
Goel, who had found nothing, was very upset. When he saw Reggie and Chris, he wanted to die to apologize, but Reggie took the lead and took the responsibility for him.
"It's not your fault. It's because I missed the opportunity to capture Charlemagne and didn't convey the battle situation to you." Reggie held the map and fell into deep thought. "Now we have to take a gamble. Let's take a guess.
Which city will Charlemagne choose to settle down in, Red Clay City, Clearwater County, Huarong City, Gray Iron Castle, Smoky Stone County, Red Leaf City... He really has a lot of choices."
Reggie was at a loss, and Chris couldn't give him any good advice. The safest way at present was to attack these cities one by one, but the danger of going deep alone was extremely high. The chance of them being ambushed was almost 100%. Once they fell into hand-to-hand combat,
The advantages of artillery and muskets will be gone, leaving only flesh and blood.
Everyone was thinking hard about countermeasures when a young voice suddenly interrupted.
"They will go to Huarong City, they will definitely go to Huarong City."
Reggie turned his head and found Gold's son Wesley standing behind him. This handsome young man had his hair spread out. It was obvious that this was to cover his missing ears.
Geer quickly took his son aside and yelled: "Who asked you to come here? Where is your mother?"
The lord's wife stood at the door and said tremblingly: "He just wants to express his gratitude to His Highness the Prince and Lord Victor."
"Are you crazy? Your Highness and His Excellency are discussing important matters. Get out of here quickly!" Goel drove away his wife and son rudely, but Reggie stopped Wesley, who looked aggrieved.
"Tell me, young man, why do you think Charlemagne went to the Velvet City? Because the walls there are strong enough?"
"Don't listen to this kid's nonsense," Ge Er hurriedly pushed his son out of the door. "The city wall here is only as high as one person. Huadong City is not a place for war, but a place for dandies to go on vacation and have fun."
"That's... because they have more soldiers?"
"They don't have many soldiers," Goel shook his head. "As far as I know, there are less than a thousand soldiers there, and few of them have fought in battles."
"If that's the case, why did Charlemagne go to Velvet City?" Reggie firmly believed that Wesley was not talking nonsense.
Wesley looked at his father timidly, and his father glared at him and said, "The Lord is asking you a question!"
Wesley whispered: "Because other lords may choose to surrender, but Winston, the lord of Huadong City, will never surrender."
Reggie said in surprise: "It seems that he is very loyal to Charlemagne."
Wesley shook his head and said: "This has nothing to do with loyalty, my lord, because His Highness the Prince will not accept his surrender."
Reggie turned to look at Chris: "Do you have any grudge against him?"
"That's right," Chris sighed. "When I was desperate, all the lords were unwilling to take me in, and he was one of them."
After a moment of silence, Chris raised his head, looked at Goel, and said with a smile: "You didn't want to take me in at the beginning, but I still forgave you."
The atmosphere instantly became awkward. Goel was about to express his regret when he heard Wesley continue: "That is different. The other lords did not open the door to you like us, but only Winston opened the door to you.
We have heard of swords fighting."
Chris was silent for a long time, then smiled bitterly and said, "The lords of Red Clay City and Qingshui County also rounded me up."
"But they didn't catch you," Wesley said. "If they really want to catch you, they just need to secretly block all the roads. You will definitely have no chance of escaping. They have released the news of rounding up you. Yes
In order to warn you not to get close, they, like us, have left a way out for themselves, but Winston did not, and he also tried to trick you into entering the city..."
"That's enough, you idiot!" Goel slapped Wesley and was about to kick him out, but Chris stopped him.
"He's right." That bad memory made Chris' face turn blue. "Only Winston really wanted to kill me and my father. I swear I will never forgive him in this life. Charlemagne will definitely
If he flees to Huarong City, he will definitely go here!"
