Reluctantly looking at the departing enemy, General Incham turned his head with a gloomy face and turned his attention to the current battlefield again. x

Their knights had already lost the battle against the Knights of Denlenburg, even with the Knights Templar, who were famous on the continent and were known for their fighting prowess and combat due to religious brainwashing.

The knights were either beaten and fled, or their horses were cut down by maces or swords, or they died in the first charge from the piercing of their spears and the crushing of their horses.

There were more than 700 knights and heavy cavalry in Denglenburg, and in this battle alone, they lost more than 200 knights and heavy cavalry.

Knights are okay, they can be obtained as long as they are screened and recruited, but those who are truly loyal to William will never betray, and the heavy cavalry, which is all in William's hands for logistics and the like, will take a long time to train.

Fortunately, in the past four years, William has established a perfect militia system, and even on horseback, thousands of people have been selected to train in turns.

The militiamen also underwent four years of rough riding training, so it might not be so difficult for William to train the heavy cavalry in the future, and it would take several years.

William's losses were not greater, but the enemy's losses were even greater, with the Templars losing nearly two hundred men, and the other motley knights together losing about four hundred.

Basically, all of them have lost the ability to continue fighting, and it is inevitable that they will become prisoners.

Seeing that the King's army had retreated several kilometers and was no longer visible, William began to inform the other two Earls that they were ready to retreat.

The enemy vented all the anger of the king's army on the only enemy in front of him, and the attack became sharper and sharper, desperately attacking the army of Denlenburg.

The Denglenburg army is also trying to launch a counterattack against the enemy, and the pikemen, under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers, keep stabbing the spears in their hands at the enemy, as if they are vicious snakes, trying to kill the enemy in front of them.

"You two should retreat first!"

William said to the two beside him, and the retreat was orderly cross-covered, which was the way to retreat without giving the enemy a chance.

It's not that William is hypocritical or stupid, depleting his own forces to make others retreat.

He also didn't want his team to lose too much, but there was no way, and such a frantic attack of the enemy could only be stopped by the Denlenburg army.

If it were the two of them, it might not be long before they collapsed.

Therefore, William had to put his army at the forefront.

"Urimu!" William called out, and then said, "You take the light cavalry to harass the enemy, and then Norwen, you and the rest of the knights also wander around the enemy, don't let them catch up with us!" ”

William was starting to get out of here, too.

The two men who received the order hurried to the troops under their command and began to prepare.

In this way, the remaining 500 light cavalry, under the blow of the enemy's bow and arrow, plus the heavy cavalry and knights after the charge, began to wander around the perimeter of the enemy's infantry phalanx.

The enemy, who had lost his knight, had no way to deal with William's method, so he could only defend passively and then order the archers to shoot.

However, the light cavalry moved very flexibly under the leadership of Hurim, and the enemy could not tell where they would turn in the next second.

Not to mention the knights and heavy cavalry, whose mobility was not fast, but the heavy and thick armor on their bodies and horses gave them the confidence to ignore the arrows.

The light cavalry, led by Urimu, were also scurrying around, and from time to time they shot arrows near them, and then quickly fled away.

More than 500 arrows, each shot could inflict a loss of one or two hundred on the enemy, and although the amount was not too much for them to bear, such a provocation was still unbearable for them.

The expression of Deputy Commander Nairbrand was very ugly, and the combat effectiveness of the Knights Templar was famous on the entire continent.

Except for the Imperial Knights of the two Knights of the Rhoderan Empire, the Holy Grail Knights of the Astra Kingdom, and the Iron Armored Paladins of Kyrnia, there are hardly any knights or knights who can compare with them.

But today, they suffered a crushing defeat here, in front of a knight of an ordinary nobleman who had never heard of much fame before.

It was a great shame for him to come.

Therefore, at this time he was letting General Inchham and General Dampier continue to launch a more violent attack.

However, the harassment and deterrence of the light cavalry and heavy cavalry also made General Dampier and General Incham very irritated, and they began to disagree.

"The first to twelfth columns, retreat two hundred meters! The thirteenth and twenty-fourth columns! ”

William divided his troops into two and assigned them all tasks, and then left the heavy infantry in the front line of the battle.

At this time, the Denglenburg infantry had lost more than 600 men, a quarter of the total number, and the 13th to 24th columns, more than 800 people, were in the first line, and the enemy continued to struggle.

After leaving half of their comrades, their pressure obviously increased, and the light cavalry also began to increase the level of harassment at this time, relieving their pressure.

Alternate cover, which is the highest level of retreat, does not lead to confusion among the troops, but also prevents the enemy from taking advantage of the victory.

Under the stubborn fighting of the remaining Delenburg infantry, these enemies were stunned and unable to move forward!

Looking at the soldiers who had already retreated two hundred meters, William began to give a second order: "The thirteenth and twenty-fourth columns, prepare to retreat!" Go behind the thirteenth column of the first lane! Hussars intensify harassment! ”

And the enemy saw that the Denglenburg army was so tacit, and the light cavalry was so disgusting harassment beside it, so he did not continue the frantic attack.

After a period of pursuit, they gave up the pursuit of William's troops, after all, the five hundred knights and five hundred light cavalry who had been eyeing them were disgusting.

Moreover, under the harassment of the light cavalry, the morale of the soldiers also began to be irritated, and the array was not as neat as before.

From inside the array, General Incham's angry voice rang out: "Damn it! This Earl William is so despicable that he doesn't dare to fight us head-on! There is no sense of honor as a nobleman! ”

He was very annoyed by the harassment of the light cavalry, completely ignoring the situation on the battlefield.

However, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't change the reality that they couldn't stop William, and if this continued, William would probably lose both sides with his far less than his own forces.

In this way, William left the place without any problems, but although the enemy did not pursue him immediately, after resting for a while, he quickly formed a coalition again and entered the territory of the Kingdom of Tskma.

At this time, the military strength of the Tskma Kingdom was very weak, and the entire kingdom combined was only about 10,000 people, while the number of enemies exceeded 30,000.

In this way, the enemy advanced all the way, and the county of Thris, which belonged to the royal family, and the county of Deboan, which belonged to the royal family, had fallen, and the county of Creman, the territory of the Earl of Kliman, was also occupied by the enemy, in addition to the county of Runivan, and the only counties that remained of the royal family, such as Brijek, William's county of Denlenburg, and the county of Count Battle's Goldra county.

The rest of the counties, together with two fortresses, seven cities, twelve castles, more than eighty estates, and a population of more than 800,000 people, fell into the hands of the enemy and became their occupation areas.
