Chapter 399: Assignment
The Norwids have never been in such a battle, they have only fought against wandering knights who can almost be said to be a rabble, and they have never had any cooperation to speak of.
As a result, after the impact of the first wave of the charge is lost, most of them will get caught up in horseback battles, and only a few will ride their horses on their horses in preparation for the second round of the reverse charge.
In this way, under the blows of the spears and sabers of the light cavalry, the lives of the Norweed people were constantly harvested, like autumn rice, which was quickly harvested by the farmers and fell to the ground.
This time, however, the peasants were replaced by light cavalry, and the harvested rice was replaced by these Norwids, whose simple leather armor could hardly provide an effective defense against the light cavalry's attacks.
In this way, the Norweeds could only be constantly pierced through their bodies by spears, and their ** slashed by the light cavalry with sharp sabers, taking away their lives.
In just a few minutes, the Norvids lost more than fifty men, and the hussars lost more than ten men.
In this way, the light cavalry quickly used their speed and lethality to annihilate the enemy's patrol, and they themselves paid the price of more than 20 men and nearly 30 men.
Just after the last Norvid man had fallen weakly, the hussars finally stopped, began to clean up the battlefield, and then spread the news to the rear.
The Norweed are truly a powerful barbarian race living in the northernmost part, and their physical fitness is far stronger than that of most of the Dulords, who are more than 1.7 meters tall and have strong muscles.
"My lord, our vanguard has knocked down the enemy patrol, they have completely annihilated each other, and captured several wounded prisoners!"
A light cavalry sentry walked to the outside of William's carriage, knocked on the door, and after being opened by the guards inside, spoke to William inside.
William also smiled and nodded, quite satisfied with his army's victory in the first battle.
The next morning, the leading leaders of the entire Eastern Crusade Army were assembled in King Leonac's tent, and they had successfully crossed the border between the kingdom of Astra and the Norweed barbarians, and the next step was the initial attack on the Norvidian east.
I saw that there were dozens of people in the big tent, all the counts and dukes above appeared, waiting for the arrangement of King Leonac and Archbishop Bailins.
"Archduke Kleeon of the Duchy of Knightling, Archbishop Baringsin and I hope you can take your army to conquer Fort Norwich, which is not a large wooden fortress, so I speculate that there are only about eight hundred defenders there, and I hope you can conquer it as our back!"
Grand Duke Krion nodded, saluted, and said, "Okay, respected Your Majesty, I will do my best!" ”
"Marquis Cloton, I hope you can lead your army to annihilate the Norweed tribe fifty kilometers to the west of us, please rest assured, that tribe only has about eight thousand people, and it is estimated that there are no more than three or four thousand people who can fight, you will definitely be able to annihilate them, so, I hope you can annihilate them!"
Marquis Cloton nodded, touched his brown beard, rubbed the wrinkles on his forehead, and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty King Leonarque, the enemy can't pose a threat to me!" ”
In this way, most of the people present were assigned tasks, and in addition to being assigned to attack the enemy tribe, they also had some tasks to conquer the fortress.
Although the Norweed people did not have developed city-building technology, they were still happy to build fortresses on their own land.
These forts were not sturdy, nor were they made of stone, but were small fortifications made of wood.
William was also assigned a mission, he needed to go forty kilometers to the southwest, where there was a Norvid tribe of about seven or eight thousand people.
Such small and medium-sized tribes are quite common here, and there are seven or eight small and medium-sized tribes of this size in this outlying area.
Although William is only an earl, his strength is so strong, so he was also assigned a more difficult task, which is the same level as the Blackstone Army and the Iron Forest Legion.
"Okay, since everyone has their own tasks, then you go and prepare first, I'm here waiting for your good news!"
King Leonac said to the people in the tent, and at the end, he took a special look at William, smiled and nodded.
William was a little confused, but out of politeness, he smiled back.
Walking out of the tent, the Marquis of Apollon, the commander of the Blackstone Army, couldn't help but glance at William curiously, and everyone saw the different way King Leonac treated him in the tent just now.
She was a little curious about who the person in front of her was, and how many kings could be treated differently by the host in the tent.
She also heard it just now, this person is called William, the title is earl, in the chaotic and huge central continent, the title of earl is not valuable, just a casual mid-level warlord dares to call himself an earl.
But she also knew that except for the middle of the continent, other local titles were quite valuable, especially the title of earl, which was already considered a great nobleman of a country.
She looked at William as he walked out of the tent, and saw that his pale blue eyes seemed to reveal incomparable wisdom and tenacity, as well as the hidden ambition.
And William seemed to have a sense, raised his head and looked at it.
He wondered why this woman looked at him like this, and he knew clearly that it was not a good thing to be able to appear in that tent, even if the other party was just a young looking woman.
Before William could make any moves, the Marquis of Apollon took her eyes off him and left the place.
William shook his head, this woman really doesn't know what to do, but anyway, her range of activities is in the middle of the continent, and she doesn't have much to do with herself, so she doesn't care.
He left the camp of King Astra and walked towards his army, the task he was assigned was not difficult, the elite of more than 20,000 people did not attack a tribe of more than 8,000 people, it was not easy to capture.
In this way, William returned to his army.
And Archduke Wallace of the Grand Duchy of Krilla is finally going to complete their mission with his army, but he doesn't have to pester William all day long.
Early the next morning, William officially ordered his troops to be disengaged, and the Denlenburg infantry put on the heavy armor they had taken off again, and the knights were also heavily armed on their horses.
The archers and crossbowmen had also adjusted their bowstrings, and all preparations had been made.
After a day of arduous marching, William finally reached his goal with his direct and noble armies and saw where the tribe was. 2k reading web
