Chapter 137: Sweeping up the aftermath

"Crush the enemy, I don't think it's a difficult task for the knights, what flavor of light wine are you going to have with it later?" The Count trotted with the knights, joking with them in a relaxed tone.

"Haha, of course it's a victory taste!"

"I think it's feminine!"

"No, no, no, silver coins are my favorite flavor!"

The knights laughed when they heard the earl's words, and began to talk to their comrades, the tense atmosphere was gone, and the main force of the knights who defeated the enemy made it extremely easy, as long as a wave of charge, they could easily win the war.

"My lord! Lord Earl, he, it seems, has failed, he has been guarded by the enemy! "On the southern heights, a knight reports to the nobles on the mountainside of the highlands.

"What? Lord Earl, he was defeated? Can you be sure? If you dare to lie about the military, I won't bypass you easily! Several nobles looked at each other and confirmed sternly to the knight.

"It's true, my lord, I clearly see that all the knights on our side have been captured, and even the Earl has been captured by the enemy!" The knight said innocently.

"What? Even the Count was captured? Damn it! A nobleman began to curse.

"We shouldn't have approved of this plan in the first place! My troops lost so much and finally lost the war! ”

"It's a terrible choice to agree with the Earl's plan, we have to make a choice right now, anyway, I'm going to go back to the territory right away, you can choose for yourself, I'm going to go first anyway!"

Several nobles disagreed, but after a period of discussion, there was no suspense, and everyone chose to return to their territory.

Where they have their own manor fortresses, where they can mobilize the inhabitants of their own territory for defense, and not wait here to be wiped out by the enemy.

"Lord Viscount, the enemy has withdrawn again! They retreated in a hurry, probably because we were victorious! A knight rushed to the high ground and reported to Viscount Raul.

"Really, that's great!" Before Sir Imojo could stand up, Viscount Raul was the first to rise from the ground and look down the hill.

Tens of meters high ground is more useful than many watchtowers, here, he can clearly see the situation below, between the count carrying a flag more than four meters high, painted with the count's family coat of arms, and at the same time he is followed by more than two hundred knights, trotting towards the frontal battlefield in the melee.

"Great, Father, the enemy has really all retreated, the Count's troops are reinforcing the frontal battlefield, and we are victorious!" Sir Imogio said excitedly to his father.

"Huh? Just as the Count rushed to the enemy, which was only a few hundred meters away from the frontal battlefield, he suddenly let out a puzzled voice.

"Behold, Baron William, is that not your banner? How can it appear on the battlefield? ”

William couldn't figure out what was going on, he couldn't remember what orders he had given before leaving the highlands, and if it was normal, his soldiers would still be resting in the northern highlands.

"That's right, sir, that's my flag!" William replied despite his doubts.

"It seems that your troops have turned the tide of the war, and you have made the greatest contribution to this war!" The Earl didn't ask William what was going on, he thought it was arranged by William, and he was full of praise for William.

"Listen! What was that? ”

"Like...... It's the sound of horses' hooves! ”

"The sound of horses' hooves? The knight grandfathers are here? Hope it's the knights on our side! ”

The sound of horses' hooves spread across the battlefield from a distance of several hundred meters, and all the soldiers hoped that the owner of the horse's hooves was their companion.

"Look, my lord, it's the Baron!" Among the Manders infantry, a soldier who saw William noticed William's presence and hurriedly told Banstesk about the battle.

Banstesk looked towards the source of the sound of horses' hooves, and sure enough, the Count of Loire rushed to the front, and followed closely behind was his own master, who was also the hope of his own recovery, Baron William!

"Our knights are here, work hard, we can defeat them in one fell swoop!" The loud voice of Banshtesk was heard far away by every Manders infantryman.

"Oh! Victory! ”

"Hooray!"

"Lao Tzu survived!"

All the soldiers spotted the rushing knights and identified them by their flags.

The morale of the soldiers in Denglunburg was suddenly high, and their trump card, the knight troops, arrived, and the victory was basically no suspense.

And the enemy is like the death of their parents, in the words of the Celestial Empire, that is, if they are mourned, the war is lost, and they are greeted by death, the fate of being captured and sold as slaves, as for resistance, they basically didn't think much about it, that is the knight's grandfather!

When William and the others were only more than two hundred meters away from the enemy, the count shouted: "Charge! ”

The knights drove their horses, using what little strength they had left, to make a final charge.

Of course, this charge was not like the first charge, rushing towards the enemy at a gallop, they only increased the speed of their horses, but they were far from reaching the limit, and against a group of enemies with low morale and a large number of light infantry in between, they did not need to overdraw the physical strength of their horses.

All they had to do was increase the speed of their horses to a certain level, and then they would swing their swords a few times, and the armies that had been demoralized by the battle would soon collapse.

Sure enough, after more than ten seconds, the speed of the war horse increased, and the knights swung the knight's sword in their hands, the mace, and crashed into it from the enemy's diagonal rear.

Almost at the touch of a button, the knights' horses knocked everything in front of them into the air, the sound of broken bones and tendons rang out everywhere, and the sound of wailing filled the surroundings and was incessant.

After the initial impact, the knights did not even wave their weapons much, and the enemy began to flee in all directions, and even the knights did not rush to the place where the infantry of the two sides were fighting, they even ignored the opponent in front of them, and fled one after another.

In this way, of course, they were greeted by the merciless slaughter of the soldiers of Denlenburg, and later, the knights even scattered to pursue the enemy, and their horses did not even touch a few enemies, but only chased.

The knights rampaged through the enemy's formation, but no one dared to stop them, and only the knights could stop them.

This is the knight, the master of the battlefield, and many people shout that the knight is useless, and even extends to the theory that the cavalry is useless.

In this regard, William just wanted to hehe, if the cavalry was useless, the cavalry would have been the master of the cold weapon battlefield for thousands of years since the invention of the stirrup?

By the time of World War II, cavalry played an important role on the battlefield, and it is true that in mountainous conditions, infantry was able to defeat cavalry with a phalanx of spears, and there were indeed such cases, but they were only a few.
