At this moment when it was a desperate situation, some turning point suddenly occurred.

The bandits surrounding the southwest suddenly felt a little confused. The shouting sound was no longer full of momentum, but instead there was a look of panic.

Some robbers turned their heads one after another, and turned their backs to Eugen and the others, as if they were alert to something.

Eugen was very confused, but Viscount Liszt seized the opportunity and immediately ordered, and rushed directly to the southwest with everyone.

He did not give up these two words in his dictionary, and now he encountered such a rare opportunity. Liszt couldn't help but feel some hope in his heart.

They still have some distance between them and the robbers. When they rushed to the vicinity of the robbers, they finally understood the reasons for the riots.

In the southwest direction, a light cavalry unit rushed out. The unit was huge and full of momentum, and looked endless, as if it had thousands of troops.

It turned out that the feint attack troops arranged by Eugen had attacked in. The troops had more than 300 people. At this moment, they launched an attack on the robbers and immediately showed strong killing power.

The feint attack troops had always just circled around the bandits who went to defend them, occasionally shooting a few arrows with bows and arrows, and did not confront each other head-on.

However, later, the robber defense forces retreated less and less, and the defense line gradually became weaker, which gave them a chance.

After several evacuations, only 200 robbers left in the southwest mountain road to intercept the feint attack troops. With 300 light cavalry, they could easily win against 200 rabies.

Eugen had handed the team over to a prestigious captain for management. The task they received was to cover the attack. If the captain was too old-fashioned, it might be possible that they would confront the 200 robbers like this until Eugen and the others were all killed.

Fortunately, he did not stick to the rules. When he saw that he had the opportunity, he launched an attack directly, dispersed the 200 robbers, and then broke into the valley.

As soon as they entered the valley, they could naturally see Eugen and others trapped, and rushed over to rescue them.

There were only three hundred robbers standing between Eugen and his team and the feint attack. Facing the attack on both sides, they could not hold on at all. They were soon dispersed, and the robbers also fled to both sides.

The feint attack troops rushed in from the middle to defend Eugen and the others. Then they turned a corner and the entire army rushed backwards and rescued Eugen and the others from the encirclement.

The robbers in the rear only ate some ashes behind the light cavalry team. They didn't even touch their shadows, and Eugen and others escaped.

When the rescue arrived, Liszt couldn't help laughing three times, shouting words like God's blessing.

The other soldiers also showed excitement and their fighting spirit rose again. No one was afraid of death. They had just hidden this emotion before, and at this moment of surviving the disaster, they could finally release it to their fullest.

Eugen was so excited that he was about to cry, but in addition to being excited, he also paid special attention to the captain who led the team to rescue them.

The mature face with oriental characteristics looks like he is only about thirty years old last year. He can sit in the captain position at such a young age, and obviously there are some real materials.

In addition, he was rescued by him this time. No matter from any perspective, Eugen should thank the captain.

Thinking about the embarrassing situation where no one is available around him, Eugen felt that it might be necessary to talk to the captain. If possible, it would be better to be able to make him fall under his command.

Horses galloped in the mountains, and more than 300 light cavalrymen rushed across the southwest mountain road. At this point, they finally got rid of the robber's nest.

Until now, Eugen was in a trance, and what he had just realized during the crisis of life and death was still in his heart. Coupled with some of Katerina's actions, he was a little confused and his thoughts were vague.

In this operation, Caterina and the two sons of the Count were rescued, and the biggest mission goal was to achieve a successful conclusion.

Then there is the war loss ratio, the losses of Eugen's team, and the people who died when the feint attack troops forced their attack, the total number is about 200, while the people who died on the robber side are close to 300.

From a literal perspective, this battle loss ratio is acceptable. If you are more shameless, you can even say that you have won a battle.

However, Eugen knew very well that this was a failed battle. The biggest problem was the failure of his own plan, and the abandonment of some soldiers eventually led to such a tragic situation.

Fortunately, the most important nobles were rescued. In this era, the lives of the nobles were equal to one hundred or a thousand, as long as Katerina and the others were fine, it would be fine if the other soldiers were all dead.

If this matter is put on other generals, it will pass, and there will be no regrets. Just like no one else has the intention to blame Eugen, as long as the final result can be continued.

However, Eugen could not convince himself. He knew very well that this was a major failure he had encountered, and it could even be said to be a shame.

For such things, only by remembering them, constantly reviewing and finding your own faults, and then correcting them can we avoid similar events in the future.

And Eugen did exactly that.

The sky gradually dimmed, and some snowflakes began to fall in the sky. The vanguard of a snowstorm had already arrived at the ground.

At this time, Eugen and his team had already left the Robber Valley for dozens of miles, and this distance was relatively safe. When a blizzard came, if they continued to rush on, some unexpected troubles might occur.

It happened that they passed by a cliff and found a huge open cave. Eugen ordered everyone to go to the cave to take shelter from the wind and snow for a while, and wait until the snow stopped before moving forward.

They were in a hurry this time and did not bring tents and other supplies. However, everyone carried rations for several days, so it would be fine to stay here for a while.

The entrance of the cave is very open, as big as an open-air swimming pool, and a small river with ice on the surface flows through the entrance of the cave and spreads to the distance.

The space inside the cave was slightly reduced, but it was enough to accommodate these 300 light cavalrymen. The horses were tied to the entrance of the cave to resist the wind and snow, and the crowd gathered in the cave and lit several bonfires with wood.

The closer you go, the narrower the cave becomes, and there are many small paths that spread into the abdomen of the mountain.
