Chapter 130: Assault
On the frontal battlefield, the snow still melted a lot, because the hot blood sprinkled on it, stained the snow red, and made it begin to melt.
The soldiers fought hard to kill the enemy, they had no lofty ideals, they just wanted to kill the enemy, let themselves live, and go home safely to see their wives and children, and it would be better if they could get some bounty.
The snow was covered with severed arms, and the blood condensed into bright red ice crystals in the cold air as some of the snow melted.
The sight of the internal organs scattered on the ground being frozen into stiff specimens by the cold air was quite terrifying, and no one wanted to see or experience it except for the madmen who lived to cause the war.
On the frontal battlefield, the number of your own troops is obviously not as large as that of the other side, and there are more than 2,000 people besieging Viscount Raul on the high ground on the other side.
William played with the temptation of money, and once again took advantage of the vacancy, took off his helmet, and prepared to give an even more morale-boosting speech.
"In this war, we must win, and if we are all annihilated, or retreat, then the knights will have no place to charge, so what will happen? A total rout, of course! ”
"You have also seen that on the frontal battlefield, because of the rebellion of Viscount Kewen, we fell into the upper hand, so the knights launched a charge, our only hope for victory, hold on for a few more minutes, as long as a few minutes, we can wait for reinforcements, and the enemy will retreat!"
After saying this, he glanced at the armed infantry around him, as well as the Mandes infantry, and said solemnly: "Don't let the sick tax ......"
"Upon your head! Don't let the poll tax fall on your head!! Don't let the power of the night come to you, if you don't want to be ruled like this, then fight hard! Victory can protect your lives! William paused for his words, and then began to speak out in an impassioned voice, shouting out all that might happen after the defeat.
Even if you are sick, you have to pay taxes, you have to pay taxes when you have a child, and even your wife is not your own, and no one wants to live that kind of life.
"Ahh
"Victory!!"
"Protect our homeland!"
"Don't get rid of the night right!"
Although the armed infantry had been living in Denlenburg for a long time, and there were hardly any of these three unreasonable laws, they had also heard of such laws, and it seemed that they were being implemented in some territories, and after listening to William's words, they immediately began to put up a stubborn resistance.
"Knights! And for your glory! Block, in just a few minutes, we are the winners! William shouted to the knights as well.
After all, no nobleman would impose such a harsh tax on knights, so there would be knights who would give them their lives, and knights cared about glory and benefits.
After boosting morale, William did not put on a helmet and fought on the front line directly with his bare head.
"The enemy has retreated! They retreated! One of the knights began to say excitedly, surprised to find that the enemy in front of him had fled in a panic.
"Retreat!" William was overjoyed, it must be the Earl they have arrived!
Sure enough, William looked to the other side of the mountainside to see a knightly army of nearly 400 men, riding on war horses, marching slowly to the top of the mountain.
They were dressed in various blouses, embroidered with various family coats of arms, and at the foreground, the Count was wearing a black lion smock with a red background and a shield, holding a flag.
The riders were not fast because they were uphill, and it seemed that it would take a few minutes to arrive.
"Everybody rest in place!" William also put down the long sword in his hand and found a place to sit.
There was a dull ache in his chest, and the wound that had been treated before might have jumped open from the fight, the moist sensation let him know that the wound was oozing blood.
"Touched and beautiful, Baron William, Baron Byer, you two really deserve to be my most important vassals!" The Count took off his helmet and said to the two with a smile on his face.
"Thank you for your compliment, my lord, it is our duty to serve you, and we are willing to be your loyal vassals, and your satisfaction is the best reward for us!"
William and Baron Bair stood side by side and said modestly to the Count of Loire.
"Damn! This bunch of rubbish! The Earl of Consville cursed angrily at the rear of the battlefield, he had arranged for people to attack the high ground where William was stationed at the beginning, but then he seemed to be a little difficult to conquer, so he sent more than two hundred knights, which could not be conquered.
If he conquers somewhere, the whole war is foolproof, and it can be said that the enemy is entangled, but not only did this high ground not be captured, but also lost a large number of troops, so he needs to gamble with the enemy again.
The advantage of Viscount Raul's surrender was almost wiped out, and as long as the enemy was able to defeat the main force of his own knights, the group of light infantry and armed infantry could easily withstand the charge of the enemy knights and be defeated.
At that time, even if he did not completely fail, the enemy would not cut the land, pay compensation, and transfer the castle as he thought, so that who would make up for the loss of thousands of dead and wounded in vain?
"Assemble the knights for me!" The Earl of Cousinville said angrily.
The escaped knights had already mounted their horses and returned to the rear of the battlefield, so the Earl of Consville was able to get them to assemble quickly.
Then he thought for a few more seconds, and said to the knight who was about to give the order: "Let Viscount Cowen give up the attack on the high ground for which he is responsible, and go to the frontal battlefield to support." ”
He thought to himself, "As long as we can annihilate you as soon as possible on the frontal battlefield, even if your knights are victorious, what can we do?" Hum! ”
The knight paused for a moment, then reacted, and hurriedly said, "Yes, my lord, I'll do it right away!" ”
"Let me give up here and go to the frontal battlefield for support?" Viscount Curvin frowned.
"Yes, my lordship, my lordship, the Count of Loire has gathered his knights and is ready to charge, and we are likely to lose this charge, so the Count intends to annihilate the enemy on the frontal battlefield as soon as possible to achieve victory!"
"Okay, I see, I'm going to help!" Viscount Curvin glanced at Viscount Raul at the top of the hill.
"Get ready, Baron William, Baron Byer, we are about to charge, after all, my loyal vassal, Viscount Raul, is still surrounded by enemies!"
Three minutes later, a dozen knights and nearly thirty heavy cavalry remounted their horses, and at the end of the battle, the thirty knights under Baron William and Baron William had shrunk by half, and all of them died on the battlefield.
On the contrary, it was a heavy cavalry, because there were not many battles, so the losses were not very large, and there were more than two dozen of them.
Heavy cavalry and William's own knights surrounded William, loyally guarding him.
"Charge!!"
The Count of Loire gave the order, and all the knights moved.
