Chapter 625: Time is Ticking

All the soldiers were assembled, and one hundred and forty soldiers stood in front of Baron Sheril in full armor, leaving only the mission soldiers to guard the manor.

And in addition to them, there were twenty knights on war horses waiting in front of Baron Séscheril.

Baron Sarir looked at the soldiers in front of him and said, "Let's go!" ”

Each soldier carried enough dry food to support the march, and this time they had to march quickly, for Baron Selier was not sure if Baron Avala would be able to continue the march.

At his command, the soldiers quickly entered the marching state, the knights had changed into horses, and their attendants had put their armor on the carriage.

"Quick! Soldiers! Our comrades-in-arms need our rescue! The Count has dastardly attacked our friends, and we must rescue them! ”

Baron Sarir sat on his horse and said loudly to the soldiers.

They marched fast, not by running, but by walking fast, and at their pace, they could reach Baron Avala's manor in about six hours.

The two knights galloped down the road, and they had changed into a group of energetic horses in Baron Selier's manor, and continued to run towards Baron Rodi's manor.

The distance between the two manors is not far, only about a dozen kilometers away, and it only takes an hour to reach it under the galloping of war horses.

After learning about the situation at Baron Avala's estate, Baron Rodi immediately said that he would definitely send troops to the rescue.

He immediately gathered a hundred and fifty regular troops, and rushed out of the manor with a dozen knights.

They were also running at great speed towards the manor of Baron Avala.

While the two support armies were marching rapidly, Baron Avala's soldiers were still fighting hard, and there was no sign of defeat at all.

The enemy still had more than seventy soldiers left who could fight at this time, and Charlemagne looked at the form at this time and ordered the soldiers to stop the attack for the time being.

After all, although the heavy armor they wear has a very strong defensive ability, when the battle lasts for a long time, the soldiers will become more and more tired.

So Charlemagne let the royal infantry gradually withdraw from the hall, and they alternately covered and withdrew, because the advance and retreat were orderly and covered, so the enemy could not take advantage of the chaos to defeat the royal infantry.

The withdrawal of the royal infantry was a relief to the enemy, who finally did not have to face such a formidable and formidable enemy.

But they were still too happy, Charlemagne said to Roland next to him: "Let the town guards in, don't let them regain their strength!" ”

Roland nodded, and then went to the outside of the main castle to mobilize the town guards, and a hundred town guards came to the inside of the main castle, and they quickly poured into the main castle hall under Roland's command.

"Damn it! How did they come in again! Baron Avala looked at the royal infantrymen who came in and said angrily.

"My lord, this is different from the previous enemy, maybe this battle will not be so difficult!"

Baron Avala listened to his knight's words and said nothing, he hoped more that the enemy would give them enough time to recover and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

The soldiers on both sides confronted each other, and another fierce and brutal battle was about to begin.

"Die!" One of the knights on Baron Avala's side drew his blood-stained sword and rushed forward with several of his attendants.

"Come back!" Baron Avala shouted, "This idiot! ”

What he hoped was that the later the battle could begin, the better, so that he could delay a little longer, after all, the reinforcements must be on the way at this time, and the more time it would be, the safer it would be.

But the knight had already rushed out, and in addition to his own three servants, several soldiers had also rushed out.

There was no turning back from the bow, and Baron Avala could only reluctantly shout: "Attack!" ”

With Baron Avala's order, the soldiers watching from behind immediately took up their weapons and attacked the town guards again.

They swung their weapons high and charged towards the town guards.

The Town Watch is also basically armed with a sword and shield, a half-armed suit and leather armor.

The two sides began a brutal battle again, and the town guard did not have the slightest physical depletion because he had basically not participated in the battle before, and waited for the battle to happen.

Baron Avala's troops, on the other hand, only got a little rest after the royal infantry withdrew, and they did not recover much.

Then the Town Watch is called in by Charlemagne to fight the enemy.

So at the beginning of the battle, Baron Avala's troops suffered a bit, but then, their frenzied dispatch began to make the Town Watch a little scared.

One of Baron Avala's soldiers was pierced in the chest by the town watch's sword, but the soldier slashed the sword through the enemy's neck despite the severe pain.

Blood gushed out, and the town guard's vitality faded, and he fell to the ground.

At this time, there were many soldiers in the hall who had severed their hands and feet, and even half of their faces were still wielding their long swords to fight the town guards.

Their resistance was so resolute that even when they fell to the ground, they grabbed the town guards by the thighs and created obstacles for them.

The morale of the Town Watch inevitably decreases a little, and although they are all elite soldiers, they rarely participate in battle as Town Guard after all.

So after encountering such resistance, they were a little timid.

Charlemagne's brow furrowed as he watched these Town Guards fight, he was really dissatisfied with the combat effectiveness of these Town Guards.

But he also knew that they were not royal infantry who had been trained for many years and had a lot of combat experience, and it was normal for them to have a slightly low combat effectiveness.

More than two hours passed, and the battle situation in the hall was still very complicated, and the town guard was only more than seventy people left, and the enemy was even more miserable, with only more than forty soldiers still able to fight.

Baron Avala watched nervously from the hall as the soldiers fought, knowing that if he failed, Charlemagne would surely execute him.

Now that they can no longer fight together, Baron Avala's strength has lost too much, and now their only hope of victory is for Baron Avala to hold out until reinforcements arrive, and then flank Charlemagne with reinforcements.

At this time, Roland suddenly appeared beside Charlemagne, and he whispered to Charlemagne: "Your Highness, the enemy's reinforcements have appeared five kilometers away from us, and from their estimates, there are more than one hundred and forty infantry and twenty knights, and they will arrive in about an hour!" ”

"This is what our patrol heard five minutes ago, which means we only have more than fifty minutes at most!"
