The mace is much more lethal than the damage caused by the longsword to the chain mail, and the long sword is often unable to cut through or penetrate the chain mail, but the mace can.

The not-so-long thorns on the mace, as well as the blunt blow of the mace itself, make it difficult for the chain mail to produce any defense, and the only thing on the viscount's body that can produce some protection against the mace is the innermost cotton armor.

The Cotton Armor created a buffer between the Viscount's body and the Mace, and without this layer of Cotton Armor, Viscount Raul might have died on the spot.

"Lord Viscount!" Several of the viscount's knights shouted loudly when they saw the earl's hand, and several knights hurriedly bypassed the enemy in front of them and came to the earl's side.

One of the five knights kicked the knight with the mace away, and then two more knights stood beside him and confronted the enemy.

The other two knights were holding up Viscount Raul, who was wounded and spurting blood.

"How is my father?" A knight finally defeated the enemy in front of him and came to the Count's side, it was none other than Viscount Raul's son, Sir Imojo.

"I ...... Ahem...... Nothing, let the soldiers continue to shrink the defense, and we retreat to the top of the hill! "Although the Count was seriously wounded, it did not affect his judgment at all.

He clearly knew that with the current situation, it would be very difficult to hold on, and they would have to shrink their forces to the top of the hill where it was easier to defend.

"Yes, Father, I understand!" Sir Imojo choked up and said to Viscount Raul, who was the only child of Viscount Raul and had no inheritance disputes, so their relationship was very close.

"Sir Dennis! You stop the enemy first, and I'll retreat to the top of the mountain with the Viscount first! Ser Imogio looked around and saw that the enemy knights were approaching them, and it would be difficult for them to get out of here without anyone to stop them, so he ordered the three knights to hold back the enemy for a while.

"Yes, my lord, we understand!" The three knights were loyal to Viscount Raul, a family of knights loyal to the Viscount of the era.

The three knights glanced at each other, and the partners who had been training together since the beginning of the apprentice knights had a very tacit understanding, and they all saw the determination in their eyes in the peephole of each other's helmets.

The loyalty and glory that the knights often emphasized was coming at this moment, and their children were shocked to become adults, and even if they paid with their lives here, their children would be canonized knights by the viscount.

Sir Imojo took a deep look at the three knights, who were obviously unable to stop the enemy, and could only delay for some time.

"Let's go!" Ser Imogio said sadly to the two knights who were holding the Viscount.

"Viscount Winston, get your troops into battle at once!" The Earl stood on a small high ground, and seeing that the troops below were somewhat unstable, he hurriedly gave the order to Viscount Winston to join the battle.

Viscount Winston is a neutral, neither loyal to the Earl like Viscount Raul nor ambitious like Viscount Curwen, he just wants to live his life in peace and never get involved in disputes.

Therefore, the earl did not tell Viscount Kewen about his betrayal at the first time, so he was quite shocked by Viscount Kewen's rebellion.

It was clear that the Earl's side had fallen into disadvantage at this time, so he was a little hesitant to carry out the Earl's order immediately.

"What's going on? Why didn't Viscount Winston's troops join the battlefield yet? The Count cursed as he looked at the increasingly critical situation on the battlefield.

"You go and tell Viscount Winston that if you don't join the battle again, I will strip him of his territory and title when the battle is over, and make him a commoner!" The Count spoke to the herald beside him, asking him to convey his intentions.

"Alright! I'll put the troops into battle right away! Viscount Winston said with an ugly face, and when he gathered all his more than nine hundred men, all but a few dozen knights, and let them go to the battlefield, under the command of his infantry officers.

The situation on the battlefield was alleviated by the investment of troops by Viscount Winston, but it did not improve, after all, the direct troops and vassals under the Earl of Winsville had already put their troops into the army, and 3,000 men against an army of 5,000 men was obviously very disadvantaged.

"Let the knights start rally!" The Count said in a hoarse voice like the herald beside him.

Several heralds began to run to the other nobles, and the knights gathered to include theirs.

Ten minutes later, more than 300 knights appeared in front of the earl in full armor, in addition to the knights lost on the battlefield, there were also knights under Viscount Raul and William, which were already all the knights belonging to Denlenburg.

"Knights! If we succeed in the battle, we will be the victors in the war, and if we lose, we will face the division of the enemy, and the enemy will pile up our plunder, so that our wealth will not be plundered, and our honor will not be tarnished, defeat them! ”

The Count spoke impassionedly to all the knights about the importance of the battle, and in fact, needless to say, all the knights understood the consequences of defeat, and it was just a pre-battle routine.

"Lord Earl, the enemy is gathering knightly troops!" The knight beside the Count of Conceville noticed the abnormality on the Count of Loire's side and hurriedly reported.

In fact, it was no secret, for everyone saw that the movement of knights was not an easy thing to hide, and the sound of horses' hooves, as well as the dense clatter of mounted spears and pennants, were all factors that made the enemy discover.

"Damn, if we could have kept them all last time, we'd be foolproof now!" The Earl of Consville frowned and cursed.

He reacted so violently because the number of his knights was not as good as that of the earl, and the territory of the Denlenburg region was larger than that of his territory Isamden, so the number of fiefs that could be canonized was less than that of Denlenburg, and the knights would not be loyal to the lord who did not give the fiefdom except for a few particularly unruly, so in terms of the number of knights, the Count of Consville has always been inferior to the Count of Loire.

"We're starting to assemble the knights too!" The Earl of Consville said.

His authority had not yet been resisted by vassals, and soon, all the knights had been assembled, and nearly two hundred and twenty knights were gathered together, waiting for his order at any time.

"Let the soldiers withdraw for the time being! Retreat slowly, let the armed infantry assemble first and then retreat, and see the opponent's reaction before deciding whether to retreat or not! The Count cautiously said to the heralds beside him, and the nobles also sent heralds because of the Earl's orders.

"We will also withdraw the light infantry and armed infantry!" The Earl of Consville looked at the slowly retreating enemy and said to the knight beside him.

This is also a terrain limitation, and William's choice here also means to give full play to the advantages of his own knights, after all, the enemy's knights are inferior to his own, and his own infantry is inferior to the other party in the case of Viscount Curwen's betrayal.

Although the Count had told him that Viscount Raul might not rebel again, that was after the plan had been decided.

The tactics of ordinary knights are to directly tear the enemy's formation from the side or front, but now it is not possible, because of the restrictions of the high ground on both sides, the flank assault cannot be done at all, and the frontal assault cannot be achieved because there are their own people in front, so both sides have to withdraw their troops and let the knights have a decisive battle.
