Chapter 1083: Chapter 306: The Strategy to Break the Deadlock (Part 1)

"In this way, we can perfectly utilize the advantage of the cavalry while avoiding the cavalry being restrained by the manor’s defensive fortifications!"

Earl’s eyes were full of brightness, and he couldn’t help but praise aloud.

"Perfect tactics!"

Listening to Earl’s praise, Wesley smiled calmly and said.

"This tactic, I learned when Lord Lynn attacked Frank Manor Castle."

"Lord Lynn ordered the cavalry to attack Morgan Town, drawing out the guards of Frank Manor."

"This avoided the disadvantage of the soldiers attacking the Manor Castle and prevented large-scale casualties!"

"In the end, victory was achieved with the loss of only a dozen soldiers..."

Earl nodded; when attacking Morgan Town, he and Rose were the first to charge, driving the warhorses and leaping over the barriers.

But being fully immersed in killing the enemy, he didn’t think about the significance of attacking Morgan Town.

Now hearing Wesley’s recount, Earl’s admiration for Lord Lynn increased once again.

Wesley spoke to Earl again, "Now that you understand..."

"You can lead the two hundred light cavalry to set out now!"

Earl did not hesitate and respectfully responded.

"Yes, Lord Wesley!"

With a movement of his right hand, he pulled the reins in his hand, turning the direction of the warhorse beneath him, and went to the rear to count and dispatch the light cavalry.

A few minutes later.

Amidst the clatter of hooves.

Earl led two hundred light cavalry galloping into the darkness ahead.

After a short while.

The cavalry disappeared into the darkness, vanishing from Wesley’s sight.

From Wesley’s perspective, this dispatched two hundred light cavalry.

Are both the advance force of the cavalry, ensuring that the fifteen hundred heavy cavalry behind do not suffer a nighttime ambush by the enemy.

And also the bait to harass and lure the enemy out.

Such a strategic tactic naturally bears risks!

Once these two hundred cavalry lure out the main force of the enemy’s guards and peasants, they can easily fall into an encirclement!

Even with his fifteen hundred cavalry charging to break the encirclement, there’s still a risk of death!

Despite all this.

Wesley had no regrets about issuing such orders.

Because they are now waging war!

War inevitably leads to casualties!

Whether it’s him, Earl, or the cavalry they lead!

As long as soldier casualties can be minimized.

Ultimately, fulfilling the orders given by Lord Lynn.

Then it will all be worth it!

...

In a harvested field, on a road of pebbles and mud.

Four guards in linen robes drove their horses, moving forward constantly.

Holding the reins in their right hand, keeping their mounted bodies steady, and holding a torch in their left, lighting the dark road ahead.

The night breeze, with a comforting coolness, gently brushed over.

Lovingly touching their cheeks, stirring their greasy long hair.

Maybe it’s from the jostling of the horses or the late night.

Snores filled with drowsiness and fatigue incessantly sounded from their mouths.

Pierre Nique raised his right arm, wiping away the tears at the corners of his eyes, and spoke to the middle-aged man at the head of the team.

"Captain Sai De, how about ending today’s patrol here?"

"The crops in the field have long been harvested, who would be bored enough to sneak in at this hour?"

"With that energy, might as well hug your wife a few more times, it’s really..."

Listening to Pierre’s plain yet truthful words, the other two guards on horseback nodded in agreement.

Sai De at the forefront turned back, glaring at Pierre, and scolded.

"All you think about every day is sleeping, either with your wife at home or the town’s prostitutes!"

"The daily salary you earn as a guard is all spent on your lower half, don’t you know your kids are going hungry at home?"

"Now you’re still trying to shirk..."

"If Guard Captain Callum found out, he would surely strip you of your rank, demote you to a peasant, and whip you severely!"

"Not just you, because of the food shortage, your wife with limited labor capacity would have to go to the town’s brothel, making a living by selling her body."

"Your children might even be sold to Kakasong City, becoming drug testers for a pharmacist..."

Listening to Sai De’s words, Pierre quickly shrank his neck.

He never dreamed.

He only wanted Sai De to end today’s patrol early, but it brought a barrage of Sai De’s harsh words.

The guard beside Pierre, waiting for Sai De to turn around, leaned in quietly and whispered.

"Captain Sai De lost all his salary for the next few months playing dice with the other captains."

"At this time, you’re still daring to provoke him..."

Before the guard could finish speaking, Sai De’s low voice rang out again from the front.

"Fenrir Leiden!"

The guard whose name was called looked alarmed, and quickly cried out.

"Captain, I know nothing about you losing money, nor did I tell Pierre anything!"

As he spoke, a few chuckles erupted from Pierre and another guard.

Fenrir Leiden was momentarily stunned, realizing he had given himself away.

Sai De continued, "Once the patrol is over, you’ll treat us to a drink in town, do you have any objections?"

Feeling the solemn tone in Theron’s words, Fenrir Leiden’s expression grew bleak, and he said helplessly.

"Captain Theron, Fenrir has no objections."

Theron’s satisfied words rang out again, "That’s more like it!"

Fenrir Leiden sighed and was about to speak when he noticed.

The horse he was riding began to grow restless.

The steady pace started to sway back and forth, and it also let out a series of neighs.

Fenrir Leiden frowned and immediately called out to Sai De at the front, his voice serious.

"Captain Sai De, something seems amiss!"
