The wind is cold, and the sun is setting in the west.

The battle of Wallonburg had come to an end, and the siege team of the "Praetorian Guard" and the elite local infantry spent half an afternoon clearing the remnants of enemies and obstacles between the outer wall of Wallonburg and the inner fort, and then clenched their fists and smashed into the towers of the inner fort that the Swabians resisted.

Art left the battle for the Inner Fort to Otto, and he himself led his guards around to clear the streets and alleys of Swabian remnants that might be hiding in the shacks of the houses, and by the way supervised that his soldiers should not violate military orders and rob the spoils of war with friendly troops.

In one of the barns in the fort, the guards captured a Swabian soldier who had been hiding in a dung heap, who had been seriously wounded in the morning battle of the outer wall, and the battle was fierce and untreated, and the Swabian soldiers dragged him here and threw him down to support the wall to fight.

At noon, the outer wall was lost, and the wounded soldier saw that the Burgundian army had entered Wallonia, so he had to hide in the dung heap of livestock......

Ron dragged the wounded soldier out of the manure, covered in cow and horse droppings, and pointed his sword at the blood-stinking creature on the ground.

The wounded Swabian soldiers on the ground wept and pleaded, hoping that Art would spare his life.

Art looked at the wounded wounded Swabian soldier's abdomen covered with feces, and said lightly: "I can't save it, kill it."

After speaking, he walked to the side and took a sip of the water bladder containing the ale on his waist, watched Ron pull out the wooden-handled hunting knife on his waist, leaned over and strangled the head of the wounded soldier of Swabia, the hunting knife cut the blood vessels in the wounded soldier's neck, and blood gushed out along the wounded soldier's wound.

The action is done in one go, without a little mud and water.

At this time, Otto, whose armor was stained with blood, ran over to find Art, he glanced at the Swabian enemy soldiers who were twitching on the ground by Ron's throat, and said to Art: "My lord, the inner fort has been breached, we have captured the commander of the Swabian defenders, he hacked to death seven or eight captured Burgundian civilians in the inner fort, and then laid down his weapons and walked out."

"That guy is not a good thing, the two knights and the soldiers around him were almost all killed in battle, and he himself asked us to treat him as a noble prisoner of war. If it weren't for the fact that my allies wanted to keep him for ransom, I would have wanted to cut off his dog's head with an axe. ”

Art handed the water bladder in his hand to Otto, looked at the smoke-filled inner fort, and said: "Forget it, the guys of the local army are not easy, and after fighting for a month, they expect to capture some booty and ransom from Wallonburg, so that this Swabian dog can live for a few more days."

"You reiterate the order to the soldiers, no one is allowed to compete with friendly soldiers for spoils of war without my permission, and when the battle is over, I will give you a military reward according to the size of the military merit."

Art feared that if he fought with the local army for the spoils, not only might he cause chaos, but he might not be able to get the first attack to retake Walloonburg, after all, he only fought one battle in the whole war, and the road was paved with the lives of the local army.

"By the way, the battle here is over, let the baggage team immediately start to set up an ambulance station to treat the wounded, and the wounded soldiers of friendly forces are also treated. Then strengthen the outer walls and the inner city to guard against possible enemy reinforcements. ”

"Yes!" Otto took a sip of the ale from Art's bladder, returned it to Art, and left.

Art glanced at Ron, who had wiped the blood from his hunting knife, and ordered, "Ron, the battle in Wallonburg is over, you immediately take two guards to the eastern ferry to intercept the battlefield and see the situation." The sergeant major has not sent anyone to reply to the letter, and I am a little worried. ”

"Master, I'll go right away."

Ron sheathed his hunting knife at his waist and called the two guards towards the tethered stake at the fort gate.

No sooner had Ron reached the tethered stake than a sentry cavalry galloped into the Wallenburg gate.

"Phew~" Red strangled the rough war horse with his left hand, and his entire right arm was soaked in blood.

"Ron~Sir, where is your Excellency~?" Red asked anxiously.

"My lord is in the castle, what's wrong?" Ron stopped unreining his horse and looked nervously at Red.

"The ferry was defeated, and the Swabian cavalry~ rushed over!"

"Ah!!h

"Come with me to the master~"

Ron turned around and led Red to where Art was......

............

"My lord, defeated~ The enemy has heavy cavalry, the infantry has collapsed, and our cavalry is scattered." Red was in a hurry, out of breath.

"Sir, the Swabian cavalry is coming, right behind!" Ron added.

Red swallowed a mouthful of saliva, took a breath, and said, "Yes, Lord Angus does not know that the outer wall has been broken, and he is leading the Sentinels and the remaining friendly cavalry to attack and delay the Swabian heavy cavalry, let me run back first to tell you to retreat or defend against the enemy." ”

Arte didn't have time to ask where the Swabian heavy cavalry had appeared, and hurriedly led people up to the battlements of the east gate of Walloonburg......

............

The patchwork cavalry of the Count of Burgundy had been broken up in the cavalry battle at the crossing, leaving behind a dozen dead or wounded cavalry, and the remaining cavalry had broken through or been dispersed.

After the Swabian cavalry team crushed the infantry at the ferry and dispersed the mixed cavalry, the light cavalry was left to drive the remnants of the enemy to clean up the battlefield, and then more than 30 heavy cavalry rode their horses to the crossing and galloped in the direction of Wallonia......

Compared with several other cavalry teams, the cavalry of the sentry cavalry was lucky, in addition to Red, who reported the news, there were still four cavalry including the deputy captain Jafar, who were still with Angus, and the five of them collected three or five scattered local cavalry along the way, forming a cavalry team under the temporary command of Angus, catching up with the Swabian cavalry team rushing to the direction of Wallonburg, and using the relative flexibility of the light cavalry to harass the heavily armored cavalry of Swabia to harass and delay.

............

A mile outside the east gate of Wallonia, two cavalry teams were engaged in battle.

Angus took control of his horse with his left hand, drew the last spear in the saddle bag behind his horse with his right hand, raised the spear, turned the reins, and charged towards the Swabian cavalry line sixty paces away to the left, and the cavalry behind Angus also raised their spears or drew their swords and axes and hammers to follow.

Approaching the Swabian heavy cavalry team for more than 20 steps, Angus released the reins with his left hand and grabbed the saddle saddle in front of him, leaned back, the tip of the spear throwing in his right hand was obliquely upward, and then his left hand dragged hard, and his waist and abdomen drove his body forward instantly, and the spear was thrown out of the way, flying straight to the Swabian cavalry ranks......

Bang~

A horse under a Swabian cavalryman was hit by a spear and fell to the ground with a thud, and a galloping horse behind it was also kicked over, causing confusion.

The Swabian cavalry originally only wanted to rush to the outer wall of Wallonburg as soon as possible to attack the besieging enemy forces and reduce the pressure on the defenders in the city, but they were harassed along the way, and finally they could not stand this Burgundian light cavalry.

Schwabian sent five heavy cavalry out of the queue and charged towards Angus and the others.

"Withdraw!" Angus never stopped when he hit the blow, pulled the reins in his hand to the right, and the war horse ran to the right flank close to the ground.

Jafar's spear had already been thrown, and he was now holding a riding bow in his hand. After adjusting the reins to keep up with Angus's horse, he released the reins and let the horse run on its own, then stretched out his bow and arrows, leaned his body to the left and twisted back, and aimed at the pursuing Swabian cavalry on the back of the jumping horse.

Boom~

The armor-piercing arrow left Jafar's riding bow and twisted its body and flew towards a heavy cavalry galloping with a qiāng~

The Swabian heavy cavalry was fully armored, wearing a barrel helmet, and even the horse under him was covered with horse armor to the chest and neck, and a moving iron tower was not afraid of arrows from the front, so the Swabian cavalry did not make any evasive movements at all.

However, the Swabian cavalry underestimated Jafar's marksmanship, and Jafar's arrows avoided the armor of the cavalry and horses, and drove straight into the ankle bone of the horse's hooves. The front hooves of the war horse were painful and lost their balance, and their body rolled to the ground, throwing the heavy armored cavalry on horseback to the ground and breaking their necks~

A heavy cavalry fell off his horse and died, and the enemy was a light cavalry, and the Swabian heavy cavalry chased for dozens of paces, and when they saw that the enemy cavalry was running farther and farther, they stopped and turned to the chasing brigade......

............

"Sergeant Major, great luck! Our army has taken Wallonia! "A sentry cavalry had seen several heraldic banners floating on the outer wall of Wallonia.

"Let's go! Take a detour back to the ferry to see if you can find Lusignan and Young Master Felix~" Seeing that the besieging army had already held the city, Angus couldn't let the panting war horse under him rest for a while, and immediately turned his horse's head and rushed towards the ferry to the east......

............

Eight miles north of the battle, at the junction of the plains and dense forests, seven or eight scattered Burgundian cavalry fled here, most of them exhausted, and two mortally wounded horses fell to the ground.

Lusignnan and Felix are among them.

During the crossing interception, when the mixed Burgundian light and heavy cavalry rushed into the Swabian cavalry array, they failed to pierce the enemy's formation, and when the two cavalry were scuffling, the Swabian heavy cavalry crushed the front infantry formation and collapsed.

The scattered flight of the infantry caused the Swabian cavalry to pull out, and they ignored the crumbling infantry and turned around the Burgundian cavalry regiment that was trapped in the formation......

The infantry had collapsed, and seeing that the cavalry was about to be destroyed, the improvised captains of the Burgundian cavalry ordered to retreat to protect themselves.

But how could the cavalry, who had already smashed into the enemy formation, retreat easily, they were bitten by the Swabian cavalry.

In the end, only a dozen or so cavalry successfully withdrew, while the other nearly twenty cavalry were thrown into the enemy position and struggled to break through.

In the melee, Angus and Jafar tore through the Swabian encirclement with their superb horsemanship and horsemanship, and led three or four sentry cavalry to rush out.

Lusignnan also had a chance to break through, but in the confusion he caught a glimpse of Felix, who had been shot down and dismounted, and his personal retinue standing by his side to resist the Swabian cavalry, so Lusignnan rushed forward despite the danger.

Fortunately, the Swabian heavy cavalry's primary goal was to come to the aid of Wallonburg, so they saw that the Burgundian army had been defeated, leaving a dozen light cavalry to pursue the remnants of the enemy and clean up the battlefield, and then ran west across the crossing.

Lusignan, who was under pressure, picked up the seriously injured Felix and got on his horse, and escaped through the gap......

............

Lusignnan looked Felix up and down, his left leg bone trampled by the horse, his left chest slashed, and several minor injuries. Except for the broken left leg, there were no other fatal injuries on the body, but now the person has fainted.

"Master Felix! Master Felix! Lusignan gently lifted Felix to his feet and poured a small sip of water into Felix's lips.

Cough~

Ahem~

Yes~~~~

Felix was just choked and coughed a few times before he immediately screamed, and Felix began to convulse and roll because of the sharp pain coming from the broken left leg.

Lusignnan hurriedly grabbed Felix and yelled at the person beside him, "Come, help me hold him, he's injured." ”

A local cavalryman stepped forward and held Felix down.

Lusignan, on the other hand, gently lifted his trouser leg to inspect Felix's bloody left leg, which had become a purple-bruised hematoma.

Lusignan's heart was cold, and the fracture had begun to die, "It's over, how to explain to the adult~"

............

"Sir Angus, we found horseshoe prints, it should be our cavalry, heading towards that dense forest~" A sentry cavalry pointed to the dense forest in the distance.

"Approach with caution!"

Angus chased a few remnants of the Sentinel Cavalry to the edge of the forest......
