vs 18 Wren

On April 11, the rain continued to fall in the central part of Krull.

Today is the date for the decisive battle agreed by Bell Cade.

The Klummi Farm, a small farm that was unknown before today, but after today, it will be remembered by the people of Crewe.

In fact, three days earlier, Bell Cade had been preparing for this war, and had spread the word of his imminent victory over Fort Caval in Crewe's northern aristocratic circles.

Today, Bell Cade woke up from his bed before dawn, and when he had finished washing, his court steward, Jefferson, immediately asked to see him.

"Any good news?" said Bell Cade, with irrepressible excitement and nervousness on his brow.

Jefferson was calm: "There's news, it's good news for us now, but maybe bad news in a little while." ”

"Oh?" Bell Cade's interest was immediately raised.

The boss didn't talk nonsense, and took two steps forward and began to whisper in Bell Cade's ear.

...

In the highland stone forest, in the barracks of the Fort Kaval Heavy Cavalry Corps, more than 5,000 officers and soldiers are silently checking their equipment.

Commander Wren personally inspected every camp area, and he took the trouble to explain: "Pay attention to check the equipment you carry, especially the armor must be tightly worn for me, the weapons are tied with linen strips, and your military shoes, and the new shoes that have just been issued are all put on for me, this is a matter of life and death for you!"

It could be seen that he was not ordinary nervous.

While this wasn't his first time on the battlefield, as he had crawled out of the dead during last year's Battle of Crane Territory, this time he was more nervous than ever.

This is his first battle as a commander, this battle is about his honor, but also the starting point of his life's pursuit!

Deputy Regiment Commander Tang Nai shook his head helplessly when he looked at Wren's appearance, he did not join the inspection team, his main concern now was whether the soldiers' war horses were healthy, and whether they could make a few charges in the damn rain.

The barracks are at the back of the camp, and the defenses and buildings here are stronger and more complete than those of the Chinese barracks.

At this moment, nearly 2,000 military laborers are feeding hay and washing their bodies. Knight Donnay was very satisfied after making a round of inspections, so he specially added a pot of broth to the laborers in the morning.

At half past eight in the morning, Wren's herald began to move from camp to camp.

At nine o'clock, officers at all levels of the corps gathered in the command camp of the Chinese army to check today's tactical requirements and conduct a simple drill on the map.

The soldiers would take advantage of this opportunity to take their horses out of the stables and exchange feelings with them. This is the most important part of the cavalry's work before fighting, and its importance is even more important than whether the armor on the soldier's body is intact and whether the weapon is sharp.

...

Half past nine in the morning,

After receiving a report from the scouts that 'all is well', Wren ordered the troops to move.

For a time, the horn in this camp fell heavily and the war drums thundered.

Wren was even more at the forefront, a young man who had just been canonized as a knight for less than half a year, his heart full of apprehension, his straight back and his chest rising and falling.

His gaze was fixed on the gray sky, as if asking the goddess of the kingdom of God about his fate today, but the goddess did not answer his prayers.

The cold feeling of the rain on contact with his skin reminded him that it was all so real.

He's becoming a knight,

also led the soldiers to fight as he wished.

He went from being a carpenter's child to a knight who was admired and envied,

It seems that all wishes have been granted.

Aspiration?

Two words stood out in his heart and he thought: When did I have a wish? What is my wish?

Is it just for this war? Or is it where it is now?

No, it's neither!

"Tick"

The raindrops from the battle banner slapped on his cheeks,

Suddenly, Wren woke up from his fantasy world.

The rain was still so cold, the sound of the neighing of the surrounding horses and the clashing of weapons and armor was so clear, and the smell of iron and leather in the nose was so intoxicating.

I'm rushing to the battlefield!

He said to himself in his heart: I need to win this war!

Everyone is hungry for victory,

Wren was longing, and the knights of the other heavy cavalry regiments also had this idea,

They also want to win the war that the whole of Kru is watching, and then return home in triumph to meet their own honor.

Their enemy, Bell Cade, also fantasizes about his heroism after his victory to receive the cheers of the nobles...

But this is war!

A real war is not a sword duel, let alone a fight of blood and fire.

When many people understand this truth, they either have gray temples or are covered in wounds, but more often than not, they are unclear about the eternal return to the earth.

...

In the year 1216 of the continental calendar, at ten o'clock in the morning of April 11, 336 in the imperial calendar,

A vast meadow outside the Karumi Farm.

Cade led nearly 8,000 soldiers to form a column and stationed in the northeast of the meadow, and the 5,000 heavy cavalry of Fort Kaval, who had arrived in the meadow, quietly docked 800 meters to the southwest.

After five minutes of silent confrontation, an old knight in old-fashioned armor in Cade's leadership formation marched out with a battle flag full of white... Behind the knight, Bell Cade followed on a warhorse.

"It seems that the knight of the noble young master on the other side has not missed it!" Tang Nai leaned on the saddle and turned his head sideways and said to Wren, "Do you want to talk to him?"

"There are more than 5,000 people on the other side!" Sergeant Pikechi had a serious expression: "I roughly estimated that the total number of military horses on the other side should be 8,000 to 10,000!"

Tang Nai was stunned, picked up the lookout and saw that he was observing the other party's military column. After a few seconds, he turned to look at Wren and asked solemnly, "Do you need to talk?"

"Can we cancel this fight after we talk about it?" Wren asked rhetorically.

"Maybe Bell Cade is going to surrender?"

Wren shook his head directly and said, "I only believe in swords and blood! ”

Tang Nai's serious expression immediately disappeared, and he shrugged, "Haha, it seems that Bell Cade's knightly dream has been shattered!" As he spoke, he signaled Wren's decision to the standard-bearer not far away.

The order was quickly executed,

Bell Cade, who had walked nearly fifty meters on the opposite side, immediately grabbed the forward horse under the warning of the flag, and the old knight holding the flag immediately shouted 'Wow Wow Wow', but his voice could not reach the ears of the officers and men of the Caval Fort Cavalry Regiment.

"Let the organists and drummers prepare!" Wren ordered, and the rhythmic percussion and sound of the drummers and organists could help the cavalry master the rhythm of the charge.

"Magician Scouting the Battlefield!"

"Battlefield Scouts test the range of enemy crossbowmen. ”

The paladin began to meditate. ”

Wren told Bear Cade's choice with practical actions,

Under his order, more than a dozen fast horses immediately went out to attack the battlefield in the middle...

Brilliant magic first emerged in the center of the battlefield,

It's not attack magic, though, just the simplest blast of energy. The slight vibrations caused by these energy shocks can detect nearby magic traps.

Soon, a report came from the front: there were no magic traps.

Then, the scout took out his bow and crossbow and began to test the firing range.

"As expected, this is not the right place for us to charge. Knight Donnay held a lookout and observed the horseshoe prints left by the scouts on the battlefield, "After a charge, we will be in the mire!"

"Then let Belle Cade see the majesty of the Fort Caval infantry!" Wren whispered, then turned his head and shouted the order: "First Brigade, dismount!"

Soon, more than a dozen heralds passed on his orders...

"Line up!"

"Shield raised!"

"Flat spear!"

As orders continued to be issued, the 1st Brigade soon changed from a cavalry state to a hoplite phalanx.

"Forward!"

"Knock... Knock knock..."

To the rhythmic beating of the flanking drummers, the steel phalanx formed by the 1st Brigade advanced first towards the battlefield.

"Forward..."

"Forward..."

The flag-bearer at the edge of the phalanx held the battle flag aloft, shouting military orders rhythmically to the beating of the drummer, while adjusting the direct gap between each column of soldiers.

"Go according to plan!" said the knight Donnay, looking left and right.

Hearing this, the captains of the nearby brigades nodded to each other, then turned their horses' heads and returned to their respective brigades.

Soon, the remaining 4,000 cavalry slowly advanced in a horizontal column along the marching column of the first brigade, maintaining a posture of being ready to charge and support.

Five minutes later, Caeder led two battalions of infantry in the front army, and attacked Wren's first brigade in a flanking position from the left and right. Two minutes later, in the sound of horns in the Chinese army, except for the long-range troops except the crossbowmen, the rest of the troops also advanced in the direction of the battlefield one after another.

Fifteen minutes later,

The leading Wren troops advanced to a low-lying area in the center of the battlefield.

The knight beside Bell Cade immediately advised, "We should bring the catapult up now!"

"This is a war of honor!" Bell Cade pointed to the opposing formation, "Can you see a heavy weapon on the other side?" he said proudly, "Let the archers prepare." ”

Wren on the march didn't know that he had escaped, but he wasn't afraid of the other party's catapults, as there were more than a dozen paladins in his ranks.

The team moves on...

Suddenly, the sound of the rain 'ticking' seemed to suddenly become harsh, accompanied by a 'whirring' sound of breaking through the air!

"It's the archers, raise the shield!" Wren unveiled the visor from his helmet to better observe the enemy archers' attacks.

When the first round of bows and arrows 'crackled', Wren began to look sideways at the main cavalry behind him, and they continued to move slowly on the left and right flanks.

Wren looked at the muddy road under his feet, and secretly said in his heart: You have to speed up!

He really had to speed up his pace, because the heavy cavalry behind him would be consumed like this, and before he could launch a charge, the physical strength of the horses and soldiers would be exhausted.

There was no room for hesitation on the battlefield, and Wren did as soon as he thought of it, snatching the flag of the flag bearer next to him, and shouted, "Speed up!" His command flag pointed to the column on the right flank near the direction of the slope.

Speeding up the charge in heavy armor is no joke, and this is the most fundamental reason why the empire can hardly find formed hoplites other than the Cullen Collar.

But at the moment, he had to do it,

For this reason, he personally walked in the front with the order flag!

"Steady!"

"Steady!"

After receiving the order from Wren, the officers instructed their soldiers to follow the order flag, while trying their best to maintain the formation of the military formation.

The phalanx of the enemy's advancing army was obviously surprised by Wren's sudden acceleration, as evidenced by the chaotic military order.

However, it was only a mess of less than two minutes.

However, these two minutes were too precious for Wren, and his army advanced two hundred meters in these two minutes!

At this moment, he and the enemy army are close at hand!

"Spear raised!"

"Raise your shield!"

"For Crewe!"

Wren first swung the spear on the command flag in his hand and plunged it into the enemy formation, and one enemy soldier fell in a pool of blood in the wave of blood!

"Kill!"

The battle broke out in an instant, and the columns of both sides collided with each other and let out a loud sound of flesh blows.

Cade's leading formation was visibly slower, and the dense spears in the hands of the officers and men of the 1st Brigade of the Cawalburg Heavy Cavalry Corps pierced first.

At this moment, the rain seemed to turn crimson, and the blood and flesh flew while the ghosts cried wolf-like screams one after another.

"Don't be discouraged, keep pushing!" Wren roared as he squeezed forward.

"Advance! Advance!"

"Raise the spear flat! Raise the spear!"

Officers at all levels shouted that their voices were almost hoarse...

However, the strength of people is limited after all, and the advance of the first brigade was stopped by the corpses in front of them.

The spears pierced by the warriors were as if they had pierced a row of hard stakes!

Wren struggled to stab into the spear while observing the surrounding battle situation,

At this moment, the enemy column on the left flank was advancing at full speed, and if it could not continue to advance, then the only way to attack was to give up this best opportunity to attack.

"Paladin!" Wren made up his mind.

The golden power soon emerged...

Wren raised the battle flag in his hand, "Rush me to death!"

He was the first to rush into the enemy line!

After the officers and soldiers of the 1st Brigade, who had been blessed by the holy power, saw the heroism of the commander, their morale suddenly skyrocketed.

"For the sake of Crewe!" shouted an officer, no longer caring whether the left and right columns were in order, and charging the enemy line with his spear and shield.

"For Crewe!" more officers and soldiers began to storm!

In the distance, the knights and others of Donnai were raising their shields to defend against the enemy archers while observing the battle ahead, and in their eyes, the first brigade tore a hole in the enemy column at the moment when it was covered by holy power!

It was as if in front of the first brigade was not a thousand-strong brigade, but a thin layer of paper!

Bear Cade, who was behind Cade, was terrified by the bravery of the First Brigade.

As a person at that time, Wren only felt that he had stabbed a big hole with a single stab, causing the enemy's entire brigade of military formations to collapse directly.

The enemy is so vulnerable?

This was a subconscious thought in his heart. (https:)
