Chapter 113: Desperate Chase

"Let the knights take off their horse armor, and all the servants who have horses will also ride their war horses, and I will destroy them today!"

As the smoke grew louder and louder from the siege engine, William took off his helmet and looked over there, his instinct telling him that something must be wrong.

"William!" He shouted and walked over to William: "I hear the sound of horses' hooves!" The number is definitely not less than three hundred! It could be that the enemy knights have discovered us! ”

When William heard the news, he hurriedly mounted his war horse, and then everyone sent the pieces and ran back and forth, shouting loudly: "Everyone get on the horse!" A large number of enemy knights are coming to our side! Follow me back the way I came! ”

When the words fell, the knights were like frying the pot, but their quality was quite high, not only did they not panic, but with the help of the servants, they put on their helmets again and rode on their horses.

In just three minutes, a group of heavily armed knights appeared before William's eyes, their eyes a little confused, for they had been immersed in small talk and had not heard any horses' hooves.

"Are you sure you hear the sound of horses' hooves? Not auditory hallucinations? William looked at the puzzled knights and wanted to confirm again.

Hu Limu saw what William meant, and deliberately raised his voice and said: "On the grassland, every warrior must have such skills, because I don't know when, another tribe will ride a war horse to raid your tribe, you have to prepare early to defend your parents and children!" ”

"Although the sound of horses' hooves is not obvious, I can hear that the number of war horses is definitely not less than three hundred, which means that there are more than three hundred knights, and what does it mean that there are three hundred knights in this vicinity, I don't need to say that everyone knows it very well!"

After saying that, Hurimu glanced at the others, and after a short period of suspicion, most of them chose to believe Hurim, the Kriza people in the steppe are not monolithic, and it is quite common to plunder for the sake of survival.

As a member of the Kriza people, it is not surprising that he has such skills, even if he has now converted to the Holy Religion, the Kriza people's skills have not been lost.

"My lord, what if they find out about our ambush and run away?" The knight, who had been following the Earl of Consville, raised the visor of his helmet and asked the Earl.

"That's why I asked the knights to take off their horse armor, don't you see, the three knights who just got down are wearing heavy armor and horse armor, which means that even if they escape, the speed will not be very fast, we will chase after us!" The Earl of Consville said.

It's really an old fox, and he observes these things so meticulously.

"Speed up!" The Earl of Consville shouted angrily, and the knights around him began to repeat, giving orders to the knights behind, and the knights who received the order knocked their horses hard, and the speed of the march of the team increased again.

The sound of the horse's hooves began to amplify ......, and gradually everyone could hear the sound of the horses' hooves, and they finally fully believed the words of the horse.

"Come with me! We must return to the castle immediately: "More than three hundred knights, what about me, I can't fight!" With a wave of William's hand, the specially made gauntlets glittered in the sunlight, and under his leadership, the knights began to turn their horses' heads and walk towards the castle defense.

"Quick! Faster! They're getting closer to us! William took off his helmet, looked at the enemy behind him who was not five hundred meters away, and urged everyone loudly, he didn't know why the enemy's speed was so fast, the horses in this area were all about the same, there was no reason why their war horses would be better than his own and others' war horses.

"Speed up! We will soon arrive at the castle! Hold on for a while! William looked up ahead and could already see the castle's watchtower, which meant that it was no more than three kilometers away.

"Lord Earl, the other party's speed has slowed down a little, it may be that their war horses have begun to get tired!" The knight from before said.

"Well, but our situation is not very good, my war horses have begun to gasp for breath, if they don't stop in five minutes, we will retreat!" The Earl of Cousinville said resentfully.

William's caution disrupted his plan, and if William could go straight in, his plan would have succeeded, but what he didn't reflect on was that it was clearly he who had exposed his flaws.

The two centaurs chased in the snow, and the desperate gallop brought a burst of snow foam, and the snow flew between the two teams, which looked a little elegant.

William stroked the horse under his crotch, and he could clearly sense that the horse was very tired, which could be seen from the splashing saliva and the hot air coming out of its nose.

Obviously, the situation of the others is the same, his horse was selected from the war horses traded by the Chekels, and the quality is quite good, and even it can only hold on, you can imagine the situation of the other war horses.

"Hold on, we'll be back at the castle in ten minutes!" William muttered to himself anxiously in his heart.

At this moment, something strange happened, and one of the horses at the back of the team neighed, pounced forward, and fell heavily to the ground, and the knight on its back could not have been spared, and was thrown off the horse without dispute.

And this fallen war horse also tripped over the two war horses behind them, and the two war horses were already exhausted, so when they fell, they were slumped, and the knights on their bodies were also thrown out heavily.

And the fate of the fallen knight, of course, there is no need to think about it, the knight who fell dizzy did not wait to wake up, and was trampled by the enemy who caught up behind.

To use an old saying in the Celestial Empire, horses are trampled like mud, trampled by two or three hundred war horses, and they don't need to be processed to make dumpling filling, even if they are wearing fine armor.

Everyone could hear the three knights falling from their horses, but there was no way, no one could rescue them at this time, in fact, they didn't know when they would be thrown off their horses like the three knights.

At the front of the line, the Menders knights and heavy cavalry who were clustered around William were in a slightly better situation, after all, they were selected from the war horses exchanged by the Chekels, and the quality was better than the war horses of the other knights.

"My lord, they have already fallen off the horse, it seems that they won't last long!" The knight beside the Earl of Consville said happily with a happy face.

"Okay, let's keep chasing, I'm going to kill them all today!" The Earl of Consville said with his other hand as he stroked the hot horse under his crotch and said that at this time they were in a little better condition than William and them.

"Listen! What is this sound? "One of the soldiers heard a roar in his boredom, which immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers around him, and they were all spotted by the knight who led the team.

When the knight heard their report, he immediately took off his helmet and began to listen intently, when he was surprised to find that it was the sound of horses' hooves, and that there were quite a few of them, and he immediately reported the matter to the nobleman who was in charge of guarding the wall.

"Lord Earl, the defenders on the city wall report that there seems to be a large group of knights' hooves outside the city wall!" A knight knocked on the door and entered the count's room and reported the situation outside to the count.
