Gao Chongwen rushed out of the camp with a group of troops and joined the ambushing Western Qin cavalry to attack the Frank army.
The Frank army could no longer withstand it.
At first, it was chaos after losing the command of Montebenban, but then it was attacked from two sides.
After the collapse, everyone was just trying to escape, and no one organized resistance.
Countless people were chased to death by the Western Qin army, hacked to death, and trampled to death by their own people.
The two groups of people finally came together.
Gao Chongwen stopped his horse, clasped his fists at the visitor and said, "The timing of Shanyang Jun's attack is just right.
I will admire you."
Zhao Shuo pulled the reins to stop, clasped his fists and returned the salute with a smile: "General Gao, you're welcome.
The general sent troops in a timely manner.
We are just following grandpa's deployment.
Now the enemy's formation and morale have completely collapsed.
We are waiting for the pursuit to achieve greater results, I don’t know what the general thinks."
Gao Chongwen said: "What your Majesty said is true."
The two men immediately led their troops and chased the fleeing Franks bravely.
The camp of the Western Qin army and the main tent of the Chinese army.
Zhao Ziliang was half-lying on a recliner with his eyes closed to rest.
Zhang Huchen and several sergeants brought in the tied-up Monteban, "Your Majesty, the Frankish general Monteban who led the army in the sneak attack has been captured.
I have come here to give orders to Your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang did not move.
He opened his eyes and looked at Monteban, then waved his hand and said, "Drag him down and kill him."
Although Monteban couldn't understand Chinese, looking at Zhao Ziliang's face and gestures, he understood that Zhao Ziliang wanted to kill him.
He immediately became anxious and wanted to kill him without saying a word.
How could he say in such a hurry: "Wait a minute, Wait, I am willing to surrender, surrender."
Zhao Ziliang listened to the translation of the officer next to him, raised his hand to signal the sergeants to stop, and asked: "Gu don't believe that your loyalty to Charlie is so low.
You have to surrender just after being captured.
Do you think Gu will believe it?"
After being translated by the official, Monteban quickly said: "Your Majesty the Holy King, tonight's sneak attack was an impromptu suggestion by me.
Others knew it at all, and even if they knew it, they would not have time to spread the news, but His Majesty the Holy King was able to predict it in advance and Setting up a trap and ambush is a skill that only gods can have.
It’s not that I am disloyal to His Majesty Charles, it’s just that the comparison of strength between the two sides is not at the same level.
How can ordinary people defeat gods no matter how powerful they are?”
Zhao Ziliang stared at Monteban for a while and asked: "How do I know your sincerity in surrendering?"
Montban thought for a while and said: "When His Majesty Charles convened us for a meeting today, he talked about a decisive battle with His Majesty the Holy King.
According to His Majesty Charles's idea, the only way we have now is to fight His Majesty the Holy King, but Archbishop Tobin and Magic Mr.
Magirala believes that with our current strength, military morale, and only two days of food left, the best way is to abandon most of the army and only take a small number of troops through the Black Forest and return to the Bavarian Plateau.
They think They need to work together to use magic to open a long and narrow passage from the black forest for them to pass through.
However, with their combined magic power, they can only open a small path for a small number of people to pass through quickly, but it is not possible for everyone to pass through, because His Majesty the Holy King They will soon get the news and chase them from behind.
By then, no one will be able to leave.
His Majesty Charles is obviously not someone who can abandon the army and run away on his own, so he will not agree to this suggestion at all.
He would rather fight to the death with His Majesty the Holy King."
Zhao Zi's conscience pondered how much moisture there was in Monteban's words, and he asked again: "Didn't Charlie ever think about quietly crossing the river to confront our army across the river?"
Montban replied: "I have thought about it, but His Majesty Charles quickly rejected this idea.
The barbarians on the other side of the river have a deep hatred for us Franks.
At this time, they will only beat the dogs in the water.
How could they let us leave for the past few days?"

The spies have discovered that barbarian rangers often appear on the other side of the river, even if the barbarians on the other side do not attack.
Attack us, but there are still nearly ten days of marching from the other side of the river back to the Bavarian Plateau.
We only have two days of food in hand.
How will we spend the remaining eight days?
Besides, His Majesty the Holy King will definitely not watch us retreat calmly, right?
, you will definitely lead the army in pursuit, and how many people will be able to return to the Bavaria Plateau alive?"
Zhao Ziliang walked up to Monteban and looked at him.
His expression seemed to be to judge whether Monteban was lying, but he suddenly stretched out his hand and placed a palm on Monteban's Tianling Cap.
Monteban was shocked, and his face instantly turned pale gold. , asked in disbelief: "I told everything I know, why?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "Maybe what you said is true, but I don't need a general who betrays me in battle.
A general who refuses to surrender and is unyielding is even more admirable."
Frankish army camp.
Malajiji ran into the tent in panic and said to Charlie: "Your Majesty, the five thousand cavalry sent to attack the Western Qin Army camp encountered traps and ambush, and they were defeated."
"What?"
Charlie stood up, his face was frighteningly pale.
He quickly came to his senses and asked: "How many people have escaped from Monteban?"
Majilala said: "Only more than 600 people escaped.
The whereabouts of the others, General Monteban, are unknown.
According to the soldiers who escaped, General Monteban led the charge at the front.
The Western Qin Army was on both sides of the camp.
Secret trenches were also dug.
During the charge, the first few rows of cavalry all fell into the trenches.
Even if General Monteban was not injured, he might have been surrounded by the Western Qin Army and unable to escape.
It is impossible to judge General Monteban now.
"life and death" Charlie fell down on the stool.
He seemed to have been hit hard.
His whole body seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he made no sound for a long time.
Majilala and Archbishop Tobin looked at each other, and Archbishop Tobin said softly: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Charlie sighed and said: "Archbishop Tobin, Mr.
Majilala, I'm fine.
It's just that we lost more than 10,000 people today alone, and now our total strength is less than 40,000, and Western Qin There are 200,000 troops.
Although this number may be an exaggeration, it should not be too different.
Calculating this, their strength should be about four times that of ours, and our cavalry strength is already insufficient, less than 5,000.
Once in a head-on battle, we Tactically, it is very likely that we will be completely suppressed.
The chance of winning may be only 30%.
I have also figured it out.
We cannot lose all our wealth on this road.
We must prepare a retreat.
Now send people to the Black Forest to open a passage back to the Bavarian Plateau.
It's too late, we can only find a way to risk crossing the river.
The barbarians on the other side of the river may attack us, but they may not attack us.
It depends on how we deal with this matter, Mr.
Malajiji."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Malajiji responded and asked, "What are your orders?"
Charlie said: "I would like to ask you to cross the river to meet the barbarian leaders and persuade them to make way for us.

We can spend money to buy a road back to the Bavarian Plateau.
As long as they agree, after we return to the Bavarian Plateau, I can also give them a batch of weapons and steel armor as gifts.
If they don’t believe our sincerity, I can leave my son, little Charlie, here as a hostage.
As long as they don’t refuse, there will be There is room for negotiation.
Mr.
Majilala can control the level of the bid by himself.
As long as it is not too outrageous, I can accept it.
I give you full authority to take charge of this matter.
If both parties reach an agreement, Mr.
Majilala should try his best to find those barbarians to buy some.
Food helps us get through these difficult days, but sir, we must return within two days, because we only have enough food for two days, and we can only resist the Western Qin army for two days at most."
Majilala saluted and agreed: "Okay, I will set off now.
I believe I can see one of their leaders early tomorrow morning."
After Magirala left, Charlie said to Tobin: "Archbishop, only you can help me now.
We must build a bridge across the river within two days for the army to cross the river, and it must be very secretive.
If the people of Western Qin find out, even most of us will have to hide it.
I'm not worried about my own people leaking the news, but if our soldiers do it.
Everyone knows that we have built a bridge on the river, and they have no intention of resisting the attack of the Western Qin Army.
Once we fight with the Western Qin Army again, the sergeants will definitely rush to escape.
I will give you five thousand people to build the bridge.
The archbishop may need to use magic to assist in the process, such as to withstand the rough river water and facilitate the sergeants to drive piles in the river, etc."
Tobin promised: "Since His Majesty the Emperor has already considered it, I will do my best to help His Majesty."
Late that night, Tobin recruited 5,000 infantrymen to go into the black forest to the west overnight to cut down trees.
He also assigned a group of people to stand guard outside the river section where the bridge was built.
No one was allowed to get close to prevent the news of the bridge from leaking out.
After a night's rest, the officers and soldiers of the Western Qin Army woke up refreshed in the morning and had enough to eat and drink.
Everyone regained their strength and spirit, and their morale suddenly increased.
Gao Chongwen walked into the tent and saw Zhao Ziliang who had just had breakfast.
He stepped forward to pay homage and said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers have finished their breakfast and assembled.
They are waiting for your Majesty's military orders."
Zhao Ziliang stood up and said: "Okay, here's the order to send out 10,000 light cavalry, 5,000 heavy cavalry, and 40,000 infantry to fight against the Franks."
Gao Chongwen was a little worried: "Your Majesty, we are the attacking side.
We only have 55,000 troops.
Isn't it a little short?"
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "It's quite a lot.
The river beach where the Franks camp is located is only so big.
No matter how many troops are deployed, it will not be able to deploy, but it will be in the way.
Besides, the other side can only set up a camp at most.
Let's What are you going to do with so many people if you’re not going to attack a fortress?"
"I understand, I'll make arrangements right now."
Gao Chongwen agreed, turned around and left quickly.
Zhao Ziliang shouted: "Come here, give me armor":
