Chapter 546: Sudden Change

The two sides set up positions outside the forest, and the Duke of Bunkerson and the leaders of the coalition also negotiated in front of the battle, although tactics such as sneak attacks are also common in the wars of the Holy Cult.

However, most of the wars between the nobles or states of the Holy Religion are still to be fought in a dignified manner, and after the troops of the two sides are in place, the leaders of the two sides have to negotiate with all their might.

Try to see if you can negotiate a compromise to quell a war, which, of course, is extremely rare.

However, for the sake of form and face, the nobles of the Holy Sect were still happy to negotiate before the battle.

Duke Bunkerson is now almost forty years old, and if King Brolin lives to this day, he will be in his forties, and he, as the younger brother of King Brolin, is gradually aging.

He said to the nobles of the coalition army arrogantly: "I don't understand, I am the rightful first heir to the throne, but you have to stop me? ”

"Will I hang you all or punish you one by one when I become king? When I become king, you will be the cornerstone of my country, and I will treat you well! ”

His assurances were very sincere, and if people who didn't know him saw it, they would definitely believe him unreservedly.

But what kind of people this group of nobles were, who had been at war for many years, and who knew the cunning of Duke Bunkerson very well.

So many powerful vassals under his command are his henchmen, and when he becomes king, he and his confidants will definitely benefit.

And they will definitely not be able to get any benefits, maybe they will be settled by the Autumn Queen, even if they will not be settled by the Autumn Queen, then they will not be able to get the credit of supporting the king.

This group of nobles who could not afford to make a profit was very familiar with this kind of calculation.

What's more, in their opinion, Duke Bunkerson was not invincible, and they learned that some of these troops sent by Duke Bunkerson were hastily armed recruits, and their combat effectiveness was not good, so they dared to use 3,000 meters of soldiers and 4,000 enemies to fight.

In fact, if Duke Bunkerson's strength had not been weakened, these forces in front of him would definitely not be able to resist him.

After all, Issamdenburg, which was under William's control at this time, was once the domain of the Earl of Cansville, a great nobleman under the Duke of Bunkerson.

One less powerful vassal, one county territory, and the previous war was heavily damaged by King Brolin, if it weren't for the eight years of recuperation that allowed him to recover, I'm afraid he would have been able to mobilize even fewer troops.

For this reason, the lords under the command of Duke Bunkerson felt very sorry, and in their opinion, without these two things, it would have been easy for the Duchy of Bunkerson to win this war.

And the noble coalition of the Kingdom of Tskema is also very regretful, in their opinion, if the powerful Count William did not fight the infidels and came to participate in this war, then the Duke of Bunkerson would have no chance to be defeated by the powerful Count William.

"I'm sorry, honorable Duke Bunkerson, even if you say that, it won't change our minds, if you have to get the throne of the Kingdom of Tskema, then you have to defeat us first!"

Count Creed was the first to speak, and at the same time, he meant to represent the opinion of all nobles.

Seeing that the words had been said, and that everyone else seemed to have the same opinion, Duke Bunkerson shook his head helplessly and said, "Well, in that case, I can only get what belongs to me by defeating you!" ”

And so the Duke of Bunkerson returned to his troops, and as soon as he returned, his face immediately became gloomy.

"This group of bitches dares to treat me like this, when I sit on the throne, you must look good!"

Duke Bunkerson immediately pushed the whole army forward, and the central army and the two flanks kept the same speed, slowly moving forward.

And the kingdom alliance is also moving forward slowly, this is the battle between the nobles of the Holy Religion, generally speaking, battles like those between Arthur and the Duke of Vallar are not common.

This time the two sides had a tacit understanding, and in this aristocratic class, neither of them had conscripted serfs to fight.

After all, if the serfs are mobilized, at least tens of thousands of serfs will fight for the first time, which is a big problem for both logistical pressure and battlefield selection.

Only minor nobles such as barons and viscounts with little strength would conscript serfs to fight in battle.

At this time, among the soldiers on both sides, at least one piece of leather armor per person can be achieved, and even many soldiers are wearing iron chain mail.

You must know that this is a treatment only for some knights, although knights usually give their armor some lining, and will also decorate some patches on the outside to strengthen defense, but soldiers can have such equipment, it is also very valuable.

The soldiers on both sides were getting closer and closer, and the archers at the front of the line had even begun to shoot at each other, but unfortunately due to the quality of the bows and arrows, the losses on both sides were not too great, and this was at best a prelude before the start of a truly brutal war.

The soldiers of both sides quickly collided with each other, and they relied on their formation to fight the enemy, but soon the soldiers at the front were in a battle with the enemy due to nervousness and panic, whether it was the troops of the Duke of Bunkerson or the troops of the aristocratic coalition.

Even if the officers in the troops and the nobles who led the team shouted loudly to keep them in formation, it would be of no avail.

The war between the two sides tended to be a melee, very cruel, and it happened from time to time that several people besieged one person, in short, so far the two sides were evenly matched.

And Duke Bunkerson, who was watching the battle in the rear, showed a conspiracy that had succeeded.

However, his expressions of the aristocratic coalition did not see it, so looking at such a close scene, they still did not have any worries.

In their opinion, if this trend continues, the extra 1,000 soldiers on their side will be the key to victory in this war.

But what all the nobles did not expect was that in the left flank direction, some of Duke Bunkerson's troops suddenly burst into combat effectiveness, quickly inflicting a large number of losses on the coalition forces.

Their skillful combat skills and fighting ability are unmatched by their own soldiers, and in this way, they rely on their combat effectiveness and coordination ability to massacre the coalition forces together with their comrades.

Under such circumstances, the left flank of the aristocratic coalition quickly fell into panic, and many soldiers even threw down their weapons and fled to the rear.

They did not expect that the right wing of the enemy would be so capable of fighting well, and they were not opponents at all.

Even with the help of the nobles of the officers, a large number of soldiers still fled.

Duke Bunkerson, who was at the rear of the battlefield, saw this scene, with a smug smile on his face, and scolded in a low voice: "You deserve it!" This group of bitches raised! ”
