Chapter 185: Consumption

William rested outside a manor for a while, then stood up, put on his helmet, turned over and mounted his horse, and said to the knights who were still resting: "Let's go to the next fortress!" ”

Although the knights were not very well disciplined, they were well-trained and may not have cooperated tacitly, but their movements were very fast, and they all rode their horses soon.

"Let's go!"

William said this, and rode his horse and trotted to the next manor.

"Listen, what's that sound?"

The soldiers who were besieging the main fort heard a rumbling sound and subconsciously asked.

"What's going on?"

The Guardian Knights of the Church wore helmets on their heads, which greatly affected their hearing, but they could not hear the voices that the Papal Guard could hear.

"This ...... It seems to be the sound of horses' hooves! A papal guard closer to the Guardian Knights replied.

"The sound of horses' hooves?"

The Guardian Knights suddenly felt bad, hurriedly took off their helmets, tilted their heads sideways, and listened carefully to the sound of horses' hooves in the mouths of the papal guards.

"Damn it! The sound of horses' hooves of this size and still galloping, this must be the enemy's knight! We were ambushed! The Guardian Knight said angrily.

"That'...... What do we do now? The nearest papal guards asked in a panic.

"How many enemies are there inside? Can we take this estate in ten minutes? The Patron Knight asked the papal guards.

The papal guard, who had been replaced from the front, was gloomy and said: "Although the enemy is not an elite, their will to fight is very strong, and with the protection of the fortress, it will be difficult for us to conquer here!" ”

"So we can't enter the manor until the enemy knights arrive?"

"Yes, Knight!" The papal guards said with a guilty look on their faces.

"Alright then!"

The Guardian Knight pulled out the long sword at his waist, put the long sword on his chest with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "The warriors of the Holy Father are never afraid of the enemy, and they will never flee because of fear!" ”

After speaking, the other three guardian knights also drew their long swords, their expressions wanted to be solemn, and they followed the movements of this guardian knight and put the long sword on their chests: "Death in battle is the glory of knighthood, and the soul that dies in battle for the Holy Father will surely ascend to heaven!" ”

"The Papal Guard retreats! Evacuate the manor! Prepare for battle! ”

The Guardian Knight at the head shouted, and then pulled the papal guard back.

"Line up, get ready to fight!"

Several knights began to order the papal guards to line up, and the remaining papal guards in their early teens had little hope of confronting more than 200 knights.

The remaining defenders of the manor breathed a sigh of relief, the enemy finally gave up the attack, the elite enemy was really a group of fierce enemies for them, if it were not for the help of the fortress, they might have been wiped out long ago.

The Guardian Knight asked the Pope's Guard to line up, and if it was replaced by a person with a normal brain, it would definitely be a no-brainer and run away with the soldiers, but the brainwashing received by religious fanatics was too severe.

They live in a world constructed by others, and the Pope said that the people who occupied Laughlinburg were people who had betrayed the Father, and they regarded these people as mortal enemies.

The Papal Guard is better than the Guardian Knights, but they are also very religious.

Soon, they were in formation, and the four rows of soldiers were close together, hoping to rely on this meager formation to block the horsemen's stormy charge.

Unfortunately, the halberds held by these popes were not the best weapon against the cavalry, and the length of only two meters was completely impossible to stop the knights.

The roar of horses' hooves on the ground grew louder and louder, and the ground trembled slightly as thunder in everyone's ears.

William finally emerged from the horizon with his knights, just in time to spot the enemy lined up ahead.

"There are enemies! Get ready to speed up the charge! William held up the rifle in his hand and said to the knights who were trotting behind him, while the horses under his crotch were also accelerating.

"Destroy them!" William said angrily.

"For victory!" The knights shouted slogans as they charged, and the horses under their crotches grew faster and faster, raising a puff of dust.

"Steady! Hold it for me! This group of damned people has betrayed the Holy Father, they are the enemies of the Holy Father, they fight for the Holy Father, and even if they die in battle, their souls will return to Heaven! ”

The guardian knights were still demagoguery, and they rode on their horses in cross-striped velvet armor on a blue background, preparing to attack the two hundred elite knights led by William with four people.

Looking at the four knights who rushed over like him, William couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "This group of brain-dead people think they are very tragic? Honorable? ”

Looking at the blue background cross on the enemy's body, William suddenly understood, this is the guardian knight of the church, no wonder he is so fearless!

"In that case, I will send you to your Holy Father!" William chuckled in his heart, then kicked the horse in the belly, increasing his horse's speed again.

"For the sake of the Holy Father! Destroy the betrayers! The four knights shouted their slogans.

The two sides collided, and they didn't even make a wave, they were directly pierced through the chest by a sharp riding spear, and then fell off their horses.

The war horses under the crotches of more than 200 knights trampled you alive, and even the armor was incomplete, and their war horses also fell to the ground and were crushed by more than 200 war horses rushing towards you.

The spear in William's hand was broken, and he drew the sword from his waist, ready to start hand-to-hand combat.

By this time they were about to rush in front of the papal guard, and the knights, at William's gesture, began to disperse, rushing towards the enemy in a flat motion.

"No...... Don't panic! We are the warriors of the Holy Father! Don't panic! "After the death of these four Guardian Knights, there is clear hope that the Papal Guard will be shaken.

And the veterans of the guards, as well as some officers, began to endure the tension in their hearts, trying to maintain order in the troops and prevent them from collapsing.

However, even with their desperate efforts, the infantry was still inherently inferior in front of the cavalry, and the knights directly charged in a wave, and the enemy immediately suffered heavy losses.

There was no room for resistance at all, either he was stabbed through by a spear, or he flew out of the war horse, or died tragically under the iron hooves of the war horse.

The few survivors did not dare to resist at all, chanting their Holy Father, but they ran faster than anyone else, but the two legs of man could not outrun the four legs of the horse in any case, and they were soon caught up and killed.

The entire team, more than a hundred papal guards, and four guardian knights were annihilated, while William's side only paid the price of two knights with dislocated arms.

Let the soldiers in the fortress clean up the battlefield, these papal guards are also wearing half-chain mail, and the price is not cheap, pull these things off and put them in the fortress, and wait until after the battle to distribute.

Most of the remaining dozen or so armed infantry in the fortress were wounded, so William directly asked them to withdraw half of the castle, and then let a new batch of soldiers come to garrison them.

And they, after resting in this fortress for a while, continued to march to the next fortress.

At the end of the day, William eliminated more than five hundred enemies, and the tactics were very successful.
