Chapter 33: Flipping
Crunch...
The gate of the wooden castle opened, eight cavalrymen rode out, and a cavalryman who looked like a general with a tiger's back and a bear waist rode up to Knight Kenneth and said: "Kenneth, we originally wanted to make a good scene with you to show the mongrel Ji Xiaomu, but I didn't expect you to be so embarrassed, just like a turtle that just wants to retract into its shell." ”
When a horse-like knight who followed Kenneth heard this, he couldn't help but have a burst of meridians on his forehead, and he held down the hilt of his sword and tried to fight the rude man opposite.
"Calm down, Cole." Knight Kenneth held Knight Cole's sword-holding hand with his right hand, stared sharply at the mercenary leader who spoke viciously, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Braunschweig, now is not the time to quarrel, the mongrel Ji Xiaomu's army has begun to approach, if we don't want to be wiped out by him one by one, we had better unite and hold on until reinforcements arrive." ”
"Well, you're right, let's go into the wooden castle, Knight Kenneth." The mercenary leader named Braunschweig shrugged and said with a relaxed expression, clearly confident in his defensive abilities.
The two quickly put aside their suspicions and began to enter the castle quickly with nearly five hundred soldiers.
All the anxious people ignored the more than thirty soldiers led by the old knight Nelson who took the initiative to lead the army, and rushed into the wooden fort.
This so-called Imperial Rear Force had no intention of returning to fight William, and maintained a tight formation under the leadership of Knight Nelson, hanging unhurriedly in the last position, slowly advancing with the slowly wriggling procession into the city.
"The time has come, my soldiers." Seeing that he was approaching the gate of the wooden fort, the old knight Nelson drew the knight's sword at his waist and shouted: "Seize the city gate, welcome the army of His Highness William, destroy the rebellion, and make a meritorious deed." ”
"Kill ... More than thirty well-armed soldiers rushed into the wooden fort under the leadership of Knight Nelson and his heavy cavalry.
Swish... Puff ...
The knight's servant in front of him was slashed by the Nelson knight with a sword, and he fell to the ground as if he were a rag doll.
The old knight of Nelson was a model of old manhood, leading his soldiers to become more and more courageous, but in a matter of minutes, he completely captured the gate tower of the wooden fort and began to defend it on the spot.
"Mingdi, inform His Highness William to attack." Knight Nelson commanded his servants, but the knight's sword in his hand kept slashing and killing his former friendly companions.
The shouts of killing grew louder and louder, and the betrayal of the Nelson knights and the fall of the wooden castle gate gradually caused chaos among the knights and knights who were hurrying into the city.
Knight Kenneth and the Mercenary Captain of Braunschweig, who rode at the front, noticed the chaos of the rear army and tried to stop it, but it was too late, and the soldiers who had already entered the city in a panic were attacked by the Nelson Knight and ran rampaging like mad bison, sweeping the mercenaries who had been maintaining order into the rolling torrent.
......
At this time, Sir Hubert, who commanded the knights' legions, heard the sound of the beeping in front of the wooden fort gate, and was sure that it was the signal that the Nelson knight had succeeded, and with a wave of his right hand, he ordered: "The cavalry troops will seize the city gate first, and the infantry will speed up to follow and destroy the rebels." ”
With Sir Hubert's order, more than 200 light and heavy cavalry hanging about 300 meters behind the knights' independent battalion, under the leadership of Sir Hubert, rode their horses to accelerate towards the open city gate, and more than 700 infantry following the cavalry were also speeding forward, trying to rush into the wooden fort to expand the results of the battle.
"Offensive ... Offensive... ”
Rushing into the gate of the wooden castle, Sir Hubert gave a fanatical order, leading dozens of heavy cavalry in the front row to charge with flat guns, while the cavalry behind him drew their cavalry swords or sabers and prepared to slash the enemy.
Puff ... Puff ... Puff ...
Syllable... Syllable... Syllable...
As the sound of spears entering the flesh and breaking sounded, the unprepared enemy troops near the city gate were strung into 'mutton skewers' by long spears.
It was seen that Fang Cai's spear charge killed at least a hundred soldiers, and more than 30 cavalry spears in the front row pierced the enemy's backs without hindrance, and the long cavalry spears strung at least three dead enemy soldiers.
Thirty or so heavy cavalrymen armed with spears discarded their broken spears, drew their knights' swords at their waists, and slashed them together with the cavalry who followed behind them.
In the face of these scattered mercenary group soldiers and the rebel soldiers of the panicked knight independent battalion, the galloping cavalry slammed into their fragile bodies with unparalleled inertia force, and countless soldiers were knocked into the air, trampled to death, and killed by easy slashing.
In the face of the rebels and former comrades-in-arms who were powerless, the knights of the knight legion mercilessly swung their swords and sent them to hell, even without Sir Hubert's urging, these knights and cavalry took the initiative to charge towards the place where the rebel knights gathered.
This is actually the reason why William offered a rich reward, killing a heavy infantry or light cavalry can get 60 acres of arable land, killing a knight can get 300 acres of arable land, killing two knights can be canonized as a knight, and those who already have a knighthood can make their heirs and brothers knighthood.
In fact, these rewards alone do not allow these knights to kill their former comrades, who are dying their noble titles with the blood of their former comrades.
Before the war, William had sent people to promise these knights that if they were active in the counterinsurgency against the knights' independent battalion and obtained a certificate of surrender, they could become William's close generals, and in the future, when William succeeded to Evreux and the Duchy of Normandy, he would have the opportunity to be made a baron.
Who doesn't want to gain the trust of their future master, and what knightly nobleman doesn't like to be a noble baron?
With the continuous influx of infantry, less than 800 mercenaries and rebels remained in the wooden fort in a small space, howling and crying, and people constantly surrendering to us, and the mercenary commanders and knights in the formation had long since lost control of the army.
It is a pity that the soldiers who rushed to surrender did not get a chance to survive, and the knights and soldiers who had killed the red-eyed no longer regarded these surrendered rebel soldiers as soldiers, but as farmland manors and titles.
"Knight Kenneth, quickly lead the knights and soldiers to break through the east gate, there is no large number of enemy troops to intercept it." Captain Braunschweig took Knight Kenneth's arm and said, "As long as you live, there is hope, Knight Kenneth." ”
"Ahahaha ... There is no hope, there is no hope, Ji Xiaomu has surrounded us, and we are all going to die here. Kenneth laughed madly and said.
Evil thoughts rose in the heart of the Mercenary Leader of Braunschweig, his face turned cold, and he slowly drew his sword with his right hand and stabbed it into the back of the heart of the unsuspecting Knight Kenneth.
Puff ...
"Uhh ... Scold... Scold... Knight Kenneth was stabbed to the ground, and with difficulty he turned his head to look at the other with wide eyes, and opened his mouth to curse Captain Brunclay, but he could no longer speak.
