Chapter 252: Survival of the Fittest

"Knights! I, Earl William, am the new master of Denlenburg, and your new lord! ”

William glanced at the knights who were standing, and said in a majestic voice: "I won't talk nonsense with you anymore, just announce my request!" ”

"As you know, my knights are elite! They're very good at working together! As he spoke, William pointed to the Knight of Mendes behind him. .org

After saying that, many knights shook their heads disdainfully, still stubbornly believing that knights only need force, but soon, they reacted, today is the day to decide their fate, and such behavior is likely to anger William.

When the time comes, if they are kicked away by William, then they will really cry and can't find a place.

Hurriedly retracting the expression on his face, the knight put on a serious expression again.

Although they put away the expressions on their faces in time, William was still keenly aware of their actions, but he didn't pay attention to them, he had expected this situation for a long time.

Didn't they think that the Manders knights were the same at the beginning, thinking that there was not so much point in cooperating, but now, under the change of training, they clearly know the importance of their partners to themselves.

It can be said that even if William does not ask for collaborative training now, they will train themselves to survive on the battlefield.

This is quite normal because they see the benefits of working together.

William smiled and said to the knights below, "I can see your disdain, do you think that cooperation is useless for brave knights?" ”

The knights below shook their heads one after another, joking, how could they deny the lord in front of him? ”

William smiled: "It's okay, don't be in a hurry to deny it, you should have seen their coordinated operations, but today I will let them practice it again, let you see if you can do it!" ”

As soon as William's words came out, those knights naturally had no opinion, and soon, with the help of the men, the knights of Mendes were armed and rode on the excellent high-headed horses that they had exchanged from the Chekels.

The quality of their armor is generally better than the armor of these knights now, after all, it is the encrypted armor that William financed, and the thickness is much better than the chain mail made by peasant women worn by these knights.

Therefore, they rode on a war horse wrapped in a half-body chain mail horse, which looked a little bloated, but this bloated gave people a sense of toughness.

They are like tanks that have not yet started, and although they are not ready for battle, their deterrent power is still unmatched.

Looking at these Manders knights who have been through a hundred battles and whose combat power is slightly stronger than their own knights, when thinking of the combat effectiveness and achievements they have set up when they fight side by side with them, these knights can't help but feel a little jealous on their faces.

The knights took their four-meter-long spears from their servants and held them at their sides, their gray-black armor contrasting with their colorful blouses, making them look very strong.

That's just eighteen knights, and if you add the heavy cavalry who are going to charge with the knights, it's going to be even better.

However, today he came to choose a knight, so William did not bring heavy cavalry.

Under William's orders, eighteen knights began to move, and they followed William's instructions and formed a formation of a wall charge.

Then it slowly accelerated, and in the process of acceleration, the distance between the front and back of the war horse gradually widened, but the most basic shape did not change.

The wall charge played an important role in the last war, and the enemy was faced with this scene of four or five cavalry spears stabbing at him at the same time, and he could not cope with it at all, and it was completely a situation of fighting more and less, so the knights attached great importance to this tactic.

In addition to the wedge formation and several commonly used tactics, they added a commonly used array.

The speed of the horses gradually increased, the sound of horses' hooves gradually changed from scattered to neat roars, and more than a dozen horses actually stepped out of a feeling of thousands of horses.

Looking at the Mandes knights who were still able to maintain their formation when the horse speed was at its extreme, these knights in front of them were a little surprised.

In this situation, the speed of the war horse and the knight of the knight are very demanding.

As knights, they have been dealing with war horses all year round, and of course they know how much it is to control war horses in this way, not only to keep an eye on the direction of the charge, but also the distance between their surrounding comrades and themselves.

It is also necessary to control his war horse with a superb knight to maintain the current speed, obviously, these are absolutely impossible to do without a period of running-in.

Ever since he was last captured and became William's knight, Husa has been by his side, learning all sorts of things from him.

In the following wars, he also made a lot of contributions, and it can be said that he is now an excellent knight.

He was quite proud of himself as a knight of Mendes, at least compared to the knights who watched them, he thought he was better than them.

Their drill was soon over, and the knights stopped in the same formation, waiting for William's next order, which was also a sign of their discipline.

"Remove your armor!"

William said with a wave of his hand.

After listening to William's order, the Menders knights dismounted their horses under the service of the servants, handed over the riding spears in their hands to the servants, and gently stroked the panting horses, which were their partners on the battlefield.

After watching the drill, William turned to the surprised knights and said, "See? Can you do that? I want you to be as collaborative and disciplined as they are! ”

After William's majesty, he said bitterly: "I am not only doing this for myself, if I can do these two things, you will be much safer on the battlefield!" ”

Although William said this, his meaning was also very obvious, that is, you must do what I wanted.

So, having ascertained this, William began to select among them, and at least one hundred out of the one hundred and eighty were to be eliminated and deprived of the fiefs.

In terms of physical strength, horsemanship, as well as technical aspects, and system, these are the key points of assessment, and there is the same training content as the Manders infantry, William stole from later generations, standing in a military posture!

Standing military posture can effectively temper people's will, and at the same time shape discipline, and can also see a person's obedience in this, therefore, William's assessment is absolutely inseparable from standing military posture.

For a whole day, the knights were evaluated, and at last the most prominent of the top hundred men were decided, and their expressions were as happy as they feared to be deprived of their estates.

The eighty people who were eliminated later were like mourners, because they were about to face the treatment of being deprived of their territory, which made them very sad.
