"If the enemy were really stuck in the narrow gate, as you said, the small and tattered wooden gate would have collapsed, and believe me, my lord, that castle is not as strong as you imagined."

Khloe obviously distrusted my plan, pointed to the castle below and poured a basin of cold water on me: "I'll go to the back to see the enemy's captives, in case they start a riot, there are only a few people, there is no way to suppress them, if necessary, I will take coercive means to kill the dishonest thorns." ”

The good interest was disturbed, and I wished that Kohler would disappear quickly, and waved his hand to let him go quickly: "You should be resolute and resolute and never soft, but don't kill too much, they are all tools that are alive and don't need money, and how much surplus value can be created by staying." ”

Kohler rolled his eyes, although he had long understood his lord's heartless and optimistic character, but he didn't expect it to be so indifferent, I really don't know whether I should admire his enemy for not being in danger at the moment, or sigh that he was not in the wrong team when he met someone, and regretted not being at the beginning!

The enemy's phalanx changed again, each divided into two mini-versions of the small phalanx, the number of people was about a dozen or so, and the soldiers in charge of centering and dispatching were also surrounded in the middle, cautiously moving towards the city gate, engrossed in searching for ambushes that might suddenly appear on the city wall.

But they thought too much about it, and until they entered the city gate safely, there was not a single expected resister, and the soldier in the center waved the spear in his hand, sending a signal to the large army waiting anxiously behind to confirm safety.

The enemy knights on their horses finally understood that the empty city was not a conspiracy played by the other party, but was frightened by their own strong military strength, and abandoned the city and fled without the glory of the knights.

I saw him draw the long sword hanging from his waist, as if he wanted to end this uninteresting attack quickly, and all the remaining enemies reacted quickly, running away one by one, for fear of falling behind others and losing a great opportunity to enter the city and plunder, after all, there are not many opportunities to earn enough without playing with your life.

As the distance lengthened, the phalanx of the spearmen was completely scattered, and the physical fitness was almost all left behind and panting to chase, and a large group of strong soldiers coaxed to run in front, and then disrupted the two phalanxes that attacked in advance, and the formation that was still neat and rigorous just now instantly exploded into a pot of gruel, and you pushed me to drill into the city gate, and the noisy scene was like a noisy vegetable market, and it was so lively that it was like a swarm.

"Look, my lord!"

A sharp-eyed attendant pointed to a flag that had suddenly appeared in the forest, which was a signal that Hans had agreed before he set out, and once he reached the designated position, he would raise the flag and ask me for the next order.

I put my index finger to my mouth and made a silent gesture, and turned to continue to pay attention to the enemies crowded at the city gate, some of them had already entered the castle, and were breaking down the doors and windows everywhere to find valuable objects, making the miasma of smoke and dogs jump, their actions aroused the eyes of the soldiers who had not yet entered the city, and they rushed up to push the comrades in front of them, no matter how the knights in charge of the command shouted left and right, to no avail, but were squeezed in the middle of the crowd and helpless to move, It is like a flat boat floating in the vast sea, and it is difficult to break free.

The timing is perfect! I beckoned to two heralds, and said to one of them: "Go and inform Baron Kohler at once, and let his archers march quickly to seize the advantageous terrain, and then shoot the enemy on their backs, and do not spare the few arrows left, and pour them all out quickly, and let go of the rapid fire of their lives, do you hear me clearly?" What I want is fire suppression! ”

The herald nodded, flipped on his horse under my watch, and quickly disappeared into the jungle behind him.

I waited until the sound of the horses' hooves became inaudible, and then I turned to another herald who had been waiting for a long time and said, "Go and raise the agreed banner, and order Hans and them to attack, and then all of them will rush out of the ambush and surround the enemy, and together with the bulls in the city, they will be swept away, and the victory or defeat will be here, so act!" ”

The herald replied firmly, carrying the prepared banner and running to the open and shaking it vigorously, so that all the ambush troops in this area could see the order to attack, and after a long period of patience, the time for the decisive battle had come.

It wasn't until everyone around me, except for the squires who kept me safe, that I finally found an opportunity to lay myself flat on the stretcher and stretch out the incalculable resentment in my chest.

The sun had slowly brushed the high tips of the pine forest, like a half-boiled egg yolk split in half by the straight trunk of the tree, some sparrows that had been fluttering outside all day chirped and returned to their nests, and at the end of the day's activities, they were standing on the branches of the trees and tilting their heads curiously, watching many bipeds walking upright stirring together to fight to the death, perhaps their simple minds would never understand what so many people were fighting for, in fact, most of the people involved in the battle did not understand, but mechanically obeyed orders, and then give your own life, or end the life of someone else, that's all.

"I'll sleep first, and then wake me up when the battle is over, the enemy has become a turtle in an urn, and the rest is very simple, if the bulls can't even do this, it will be in vain that I have been planning for so long."

After speaking, I wrapped the fur quilt on my body tightly, unable to resist the lingering sleepiness that hit me, and was affected by an indescribable emotion, closed my eyes and quickly fell asleep.

The world in the dream is very chaotic, and the present world is mixed with some fragments of the past life, and the breakpoints flashed like a montage:

I walked alone in the grassy field, the warm spring breeze gently blowing the colorful earth, as far as the eye could see, the verdant green aroused people's hearts, but before I had time to enjoy, the beautiful spring scene in front of me instantly turned into a bloody Shura field after the battle, full of hideous corpses, severed arms and stumps were pecked and fought for by crows.

The edge of the banner shattered as the hunting wind tore and shattered, and it gradually sank to the bottom in a dirty liquid mixed with viscous mud.

As I walked over, the distorted and ugly face of Father Djokovic when he stabbed me resurfaced on the water, still smiling like a spring breeze, but struggling words from between his teeth:

"Go ahead, you will be crushed! Stand back, and you will never recover! ”

As soon as I finished speaking, countless headless zombies stood up in the slowly flowing blood plasma, and let out a low, terrifying roar in their throats, staggering towards me.

"No!"

I felt to my waist, but found that the position where the sword should have been was empty, unable to deal with the overwhelming zombies, and when I hesitated, two hands with festering skin climbed up to my neck, and suddenly tightened hard, my eyes burst out, struggling to escape, but no matter how I twisted, I couldn't shake off the clasped hands, scratching the air in vain, and my consciousness was losing little by little.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?"

Kohler grabbed my shoulders and shook me desperately, which dragged me back to reality from the horrible dream, and I touched my neck with palpitations, as if I had really been pinched, and even my breathing touched the organs in my chest with a dull pain.

"Nothing, a strange nightmare."

I shook my head, and took the remaining bad memories out of my head, only to see that the sun had set at some point, and that the crooked moon had seized the stage where it shone during the day, and replaced it with its own white tenderness, coaxing everything in the world to sleep peacefully.

Kohler, Hans, and the bull were all around him, each with blood on his face, and the bull was even wounded on the cheek, dripping blood.

"The battle is over, although it is a heavy price, but through interrogation we learned from the captured knights that the spearmen of these phalanxes constitute the main body of the enemy army, and now there are only a few knights and their squires left in the castle, our chance has come!"

Seeing that I was calm, Kohler hurriedly reported the results in detail, pointed to the figures on the edge of the bonfire in the castle below the mountain, and said to me: "The knights of Modiyunas are disposing of the enemy's prisoners of war, and those God-cursed spearmen are fighting to the death, fighting many of our elites, and the New Guard is basically disabled. ”

The castle was filled with a strong and pungent smell of blood, and the already rotten streets in front of the city gates, the filthy and unrecognizable blood flowed slowly and slowly, like a moat that formed a small castle, making the dilapidated wooden walls look even more hideous.

The corpses of corpses with distorted limbs were everywhere, the broken limbs without their masters, the moaning of dying soldiers, and a flock of crows jumping from one corpse to another without fear of people, scrambling to peck at the festering abdominal cavity and leaking out of the internal organs, quacking with excitement, as if beckoning more of their kind to come and enjoy a good meal together.

I lay on the stretcher, looking at the wild nature of the crow's eyes and the insensitive expressions of the people who collected the corpses, and lay down on the stretcher in silence.

"O God, please forgive me for my sins......," I reverently drew a cross on my chest and folded my hands in a whispered prayer.

The few soldiers in the castle were almost completely injured in this desperate battle, and the only remaining soldiers were also exhausted by the desperate fight, or their spirits were almost broken, and they sat motionless on the ground in a daze, not blinking their eyes even as the filthy blood soaked their clothes.

Or the nervous scurrying all over the ground, aimlessly destroying everything in sight, roaring like a beast to vent the near-limit depression in my heart, so that when I sat on a stretcher and entered the slightly cleaned castle, I saw a miserable scene of purgatory on earth.

"They are all children, but they have to take up arms, fight against strangers they don't know at all, and see the heads of their little friends who get along day and night in different places, and that heartache is very uncomfortable, just like those things I have experienced, so I deeply understand them."

Kohler, while dodging the sticky blood flowing on the ground, bowed his head and said to me in a heavy tone: "Their family may have died on the road of exile a long time ago, and went to God with the misery and desolation of the world, and the dream of living and working in peace and contentment was shattered by the cruel display, and the Lord above the sky watched all this silently, but stopped it without mercy, and I am really disappointed in him." ”

Kohler clenched the short sword at his waist, his trembling lips showing the tangle and helplessness in his heart at the moment.
