I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 385 4 air leaks

In the tent, the bonfire was burning, reflecting everyone's faces. The monkey held the wine bottle in one hand and took a big gulp of the strong wine, while with the other hand he tore the barbecue in his hand fiercely, as if the barbecue was his extremely hated enemy, and he wanted to vent all his anger on it.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, the monkey suddenly raised his head, with a burning flame of revenge in his eyes. He looked at Alpha and said, "Master Alpha, we have lost all the areas in Western Macedonia. All the brothers are holding back a lot of anger, and they feel so aggrieved in their hearts! May I ask, Master, when can we give the enemy a fatal blow so that we can vent our anger!"

Alpha sat there quietly with a calm expression, staring deeply at the jumping flames, and said slowly: "The time is almost here. If you want to destroy the enemy, you must first make them crazy." This sentence has been lingering in his mind for a long time. Although he can't remember where it came from, at this moment, it is very appropriate to use it in this situation.

At present, Macedonia's 20,000 cavalrymen have occupied Western Macedonia and Central Macedonia respectively, but their forces are scattered, and the garrison in each place is only one or two thousand people. In terms of quantity, these troops are far less than the knights under Alpha.

Thinking of this, Alpha stood up, strode to the map, put his finger heavily on it, and said, "Then let's attack here directly, Florina and Veria."

The monkey looked at the map, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he guessed: "Master Alpha means to eat up the 10,000 knights in Western Macedonia?"

Alpha nodded slightly and said with a firm look: "That's right, Florina is the main road to Macedonia, and Veria is the passage to Central Macedonia. As long as these two places are blocked, the enemy will have no way to escape." His eyes revealed his determination to win, and his goal was as clear as the brightest star in the night sky, which was to catch all these knights in one fell swoop.

In addition, Alpha also received a crucial piece of news. According to reliable intelligence, the Macedonian Empire only had 50,000 regular knights in total, and this time, in order to expand its territory, it actually mobilized 30,000 troops at once. As a result, the country must be empty at this time. Alpha knew that once these 30,000 cavalry were eliminated, the Macedonian Empire would not be far from collapse. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Good!" The monkey slapped the table excitedly, stood up and said loudly, "As long as we kill these ten thousand knights, we can avenge our previous defeat!" His voice echoed in the tent, full of fighting spirit and passion.

Alpha's eyes flashed with determination. He knew the importance of this battle. Not only did they have to avenge the lost land, but they also had to lay a solid foundation for future victory. In this battle, they could only win, not lose.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the battle, Alpha made a very detailed strategic plan. He first carefully selected a group of experienced and smart spies and sent them deep behind enemy lines to quietly collect intelligence like lurking fish, understand the enemy's troop deployment, movements and all factors that may affect the battle situation.

At the same time, Alpha organized a number of elite reconnaissance teams. These teams were like a pair of sharp eyes, closely monitoring Florina and Veria and not letting go of any enemy flaws, even the slightest movement.

Finally, the time for attack came. Alpha gave an order, and his knights rushed towards Florina like tigers descending from the mountains. The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, shaking the earth and raising dust. The enemy obviously did not expect Alpha's attack to be so fast and fierce. They were still immersed in the joy of occupying the land, and were completely unprepared. They fell into chaos in an instant.

This time, Alpha did not use the mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare that he was good at in the past, but chose the open and aboveboard forced march. His purpose was very clear, that is, to fight quickly and make a quick decision, to catch the enemy off guard. The Macedonian cavalry, which originally had an absolute advantage, now had fewer defenders than Alpha because they were divided to defend the city. Even if Alpha also divided his troops into two groups, they were still at a disadvantage in terms of manpower.

The enemy army, which had previously attempted to attack the Alpha Knights, finally realized the huge gap between the two sides after three complete defeats. With a similar number of people, they were killed by the Alpha Knights before they could even touch the enemy. This tragic defeat left the Macedonian cavalry with lingering fears. They also received orders from their superiors that they should not take the initiative to attack without an absolute advantage in force. This order also reduced a lot of trouble for Alpha's march, allowing them to advance more smoothly.

At the same time, another army led by Monkey, Quinn and Hoyce also launched a fierce attack on Veria. The two armies cooperated with each other, like two sharp pliers, forming a pincer attack and trapping the enemy in the middle. The enemy's defense line quickly collapsed under this powerful offensive, and they began to flee everywhere, and the scene was in chaos.

Monkey led a vanguard, taking the lead and bravely pursuing the enemy. His horse was like a gust of wind, galloping across the battlefield, and the spear in his hand flashed coldly in the sun, constantly harvesting the lives of the enemies. His bravery was like the god of war, making the enemy feel deeply terrified, and at the same time inspiring the other knights of Alpha to move forward more courageously, and their morale was extremely high.

In the fierce battle, Alpha led the charge. His swordsmanship was as fast as lightning and as swift as the wind. Every swing of his sword was fierce and could accurately take the life of an enemy. His figure was particularly dazzling on the battlefield, like an unfallen flag, which gave the knights more confidence. They firmly believed that under Alpha's wise leadership, they would win the final victory in this battle.

However, Alpha's action goal was too clear, and the Macedonian Empire responded quickly. Like an enraged beast, they quickly organized a powerful encirclement. They dispatched 5,000 troops from Western Macedonia, following behind Alpha's troops like ghosts, and at the same time mobilized 10,000 soldiers from Central Macedonia and the core area of ​​Macedonia, a total of 15,000 cavalry, in an attempt to completely encircle and wipe out Alpha's less than 2,000 knights.

"This is a big deal!" Alpha was extremely surprised after receiving the news. He looked at the intelligence in his hand and sighed in his heart. He never thought that the other party would value him so much and send such a large force to deal with them. But there was no fear in Alpha's eyes. Instead, he ignited a stronger fighting spirit. He knew that the real challenge had just begun.

"But it's better this way," Alpha narrowed his eyes slightly and calculated quickly in his mind, "The defense forces controlled by Macedonia in various areas must be empty now." He was like a skilled chess player, who keenly captured the enemy's flaws in this complicated situation.

So, Alpha made a prompt decision without any hesitation. He quickly found Tasli and Quinn, looked at them firmly, and gave the order to close the net in a calm but unquestionable tone.

Alpha decided to use himself as a key bait, actively exposing himself to the enemy, attracting the enemy's main force and firmly holding their attention. At the same time, he carefully arranged for other parties to fully cooperate, like an invisible big net, squeezing Macedonia's living space from all directions.

At first glance, Alpha's strategy seemed full of adventure, even too bold. But in fact, it was the result of his long and careful consideration. Alpha knew the terrain of Macedonia very well. Every mountain, river, road and path seemed to be engraved in his mind. He also knew the distribution of Macedonia's troops very well. He knew where the defense was weak and where the troops were concentrated. He was like an explorer familiar with the maze. He knew clearly how to take advantage of the enemy's weaknesses and lead his team to victory. He firmly believed that as long as he could hold out for a period of time under the enemy's main attack and buy enough time for other troops, he would be able to create an opportunity to turn the tide of the battle.

On the vast battlefield, dust was flying and shouts of killing were deafening. Alpha led the way, his tall and straight figure was particularly dazzling under the sunlight. He led his knights, like a sharp knife, stabbing straight into the heart of the enemy. Although they were few in number and seemed insignificant in front of the huge Macedonian cavalry, there was no fear in their eyes. They faced the enemy with a firm look, as if to declare to the enemy: Your strength cannot scare us!

Although the enemy was numerous and surging like a tide, Alpha and his knights relied on their superb horsemanship to flexibly shuttle on the battlefield. Their horses were in tune with their minds, galloping or leaping, cleverly avoiding the enemy's attacks. Their tenacious fighting spirit supported them in this battle of great disparity. In addition, they had advanced equipment and weapons, and the sharp blades in their hands flashed coldly in the sun, tearing through the enemy's seemingly solid defense line time and time again, making the enemy's attacks return in vain time and time again.

Faced with the stubborn resistance of the Alpha Force, the enemy was forced to constantly change their strategy. Their headquarters was like a chaotic beehive, with orders changing from day to day. Sometimes they were asked to attack with all their strength, and sometimes they were asked to shrink their defense. The chaotic command made the Macedonian cavalry at a loss. The soldiers were exhausted on the battlefield, not knowing which order to obey, and their morale was severely hit.

At the same time, Tasli, Monkey, and Quinn followed Alpha's instructions and took action vigorously. They were like a group of well-trained cheetahs, swift and decisive. They led other troops and attacked the key strongholds in the Macedonian-controlled area like a god. Since the main force of Macedonia was attracted by Alpha, the defense of these areas became extremely empty. Tasli and Quinn's troops hardly encountered any major obstacles and drove straight in. They were unstoppable all the way, winning battle after battle. Every time they captured a stronghold, a crack appeared in Macedonia's defense line.

As Tasli and Quinn continued to advance, the Macedonian Empire fell into chaos. They were completely unable to cope with attacks from multiple directions, and they could only take care of one side and not the other. Alpha's strategy was a great success, and the enemy's originally carefully arranged deployment was completely disrupted, falling into an extremely passive situation. At this time, Albania also keenly sensed this excellent opportunity and took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack. They attacked from the flank, causing Macedonia to be attacked from both sides, and the situation became even more precarious.

The battlefield was filled with the sound of killing and blood. Alpha brandished his sword and charged forward. Every swing of his sword was full of power and determination, as if he wanted to kill all the enemies. His eyes were full of determination and courage, a desire for victory and contempt for the enemy. His knights followed closely behind him, their figures shining in the flames of war, like a group of fearless gods of war. Their shouts and sounds of fighting intertwined, becoming the most exciting movement on the battlefield.

Tasli and Quinn also showed their outstanding command and combat skills on their respective battlefields. Tasli was like a wise female general. She calmly observed the battlefield situation, flexibly used tactics, cleverly avoided the enemy's edge, and always gave the enemy a fatal blow at the most appropriate time. Quinn was extremely brave. He charged into battle and led the soldiers forward. Wherever he went, the enemies retreated.

In this fierce battle, everyone is fighting for freedom and honor. Their sweat and blood are sprinkled on this land, and their courage and faith have infected everyone around them, making them stronger and braver. They know that the meaning of this battle is not just about winning or losing, but also about fighting for their homes and their dignity. They must go all out.
