Chapter 222: Hedging

William's order came out, and several nobles came to William's side with their knights without any hesitation, waiting for William's order at any time to launch a fierce charge against the enemy.

Because they have already stood in line, they have already been labeled by William, which can be said to be both glory and loss.

As long as William can win this war, then they will definitely get unimaginable benefits in it, but once William loses, then they will definitely not have a good time.

This is the reason why the originally unruly nobles were willing to obey William's orders, they were very convinced of William's title of the fox of Denlenburg, and they also trusted William's ability.

That being said, William didn't trust their obedience, as the nobles here gave him the impression that they often ignored the commands of commanders and superior nobles for the sake of so-called honor.

Even in previous wars, this happened occasionally among the nobles of Denlenburg.

Moreover, it was Norwen who would be responsible for leading the charge for a while, and he had learned a lot of tactics and his attainments in knightly combat had become higher and higher, which was why William dared to talk about the elite knights giving it to him.

But after all, he was only a knight, a knight who did not even have the title of baron, and what he feared most was that the nobles would look down on Norwin because of their status, causing them to refuse to obey Norwen's orders.

If this kind of thing really happened, it would be an absolutely devastating blow to William's side, and in serious cases, it might lead to the defeat of the war, so he absolutely could not allow this group of nobles to disobey on the battlefield.

Therefore, after they were assembled, William specially called them over and gave them some advice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, when the charge is momentary, my knights, Norwen, will lead the knights to charge together!"

After saying that, the nobles' faces visibly changed slightly, and they let a knight command them, which they considered an insult to their status.

Even Baron Byer, who supported William, was locked up, and the fact that Norwin was in charge of directing the knight's charge was simply too exaggerated in his opinion.

He didn't have any prejudice against Nuowen's identity, but he had to admit that most of the knights in the continent were some brave and reckless men.

Even the baron, who is not a very noble person, is much better than the knights in terms of insight and judgment of the situation.

Before, they had always thought that William would personally lead the knights to charge the enemy as before, but they didn't expect that this time it was just a knight without a noble status.

William could see the change in their mood, which was also expected by William, so he was not angry or annoyed by their attitude.

After all, as a superior person, it is impossible for him to fight on the battlefield all the time, and when the scale of the war is large, overall command is a more important thing than killing the enemy on the battlefield.

With a faint smile on his face, William looked confident, although he did not speak, but the nobles invariably stopped talking, ready to listen to William's meaning.

Looking at these six people, and then at Norwen who frowned, William smiled and said, "Don't worry, Norwen has been taught by the heavy cavalry instructor in my territory, my heavy cavalry instructor He used to learn knightly tactics in the knightly capital, Balebwayne.

And at my request, he handed over all the Zhansu he knew to Novo, so Novo's tactics and abilities were very strong.

William was running the train with his mouth full, and of course Delseth did not graduate in Balebweinn, he had only learned heavy cavalry tactics in the Duchy of Zenketu.

Although it can be said to be clever, if you want to say that there is still a big gap compared with Brevines, but in order to stabilize the morale of the army, William told a lie that was not too big.

"Brevines?" The nobles looked at each other and exclaimed, they all saw shock in each other's eyes, after all, Brevines was the holy place of all the knights.

It is said to be a knight, but that is just a saying, which nobleman is not a knight? Children of basic aristocratic families were born with knightly titles.

In addition to teaching some combat skills, Beller Vines also has a large number of strategies and tactics, so to speak, where is the world-class military academy on the mainland.

Many famous people come from where they come from, such as King Nesun, who destroyed four kingdoms three hundred years ago and established the kingdom of Czkma at that time, and Nero, the head of the Paladin of the Church who defeated the Chekers a hundred and fifty years ago, all of whom graduated from Brevines.

This name completely shocked the six barons, and when they looked at Norwen beside William, there was some admiration and respect in their eyes.

Norwin was not an arrogant and harsh villain, and he didn't blame them too much, just nodded like them, indicating that he didn't hold a grudge.

"Okay, Norwen, you will be responsible for leading the knights to charge in a while, so that our men will rush to the front, as for the most reasonable tactic, you should know!"

"Yes, my lord, I will definitely fulfill your orders!" Norwen was very serious at this time, even if the relationship between them was very good, but on various occasions, they would have a corresponding attitude towards each other.

This is true even for the bohemian Urimu.

Norwin put on his own helmet, followed by the same helmet, but with several young knights around him.

Although it was not the first time that Knight Husa had been on the battlefield, he was still a little nervous.

A moment later, the knights on William's side also completed the assembly, plus William's knights and heavy cavalry, a total of more than 140 people.

In terms of numbers, it is not much different from the enemy, and both sides are probably the same number.

Norwin stood in the front row, the heavy cavalry flocking around him, and in his hand he held a five-meter-long flagpole with William's Iron Cross on it.

Looking in William's direction, Norwen was ready to charge.

"Blow the trumpet!"

William instructed the heralds beside him.

"Woo......"

With a long brass trumpet, the five trumpeters blew the long brass trumpets in their hands.

"Charge!!"

Norwin roared, and the banner in his hand began to press forward, rushing towards the enemy knights in the first place.

The knights followed, following Norwen's back and charging towards the enemy.

Both sides began a high-speed charge, in which case any hesitation and pause would be fatal, and they would be crushed by the queue charging at full speed.

The knights shouted slogans loudly, and the horse's paws nailed to the hooves made the sound of their steps louder and louder, and the sound of heavy horses' hooves seemed to be stepping on everyone's heart, which made people frightened.

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves like a sea of mountains, which made the ground tremble a little, William still had a thick blood in his heart, which made him want to go to the battlefield now.

Men always like to seek excitement in the midst of danger.
