Chapter 64: The Battle of Italy (12)
The bull nodded, indicating that the matter was not difficult: "At least thirty people can go into battle at once, and they will not collapse!" ”
"Your Excellency, what are you?" Kohler put me on his horse and asked me in a low voice.
I lay on my horse's back with my eyes closed, staggering as I could, trying to look like a half-dead person: "Have you ever seen two hooligans fight?" Generally, they point to each other and say you wait for me, and I will go back and call someone. This is basically a bluff, and knowing that he can't beat the opponent, he must have a backup move to escape, maybe in order to lead the opponent to his own territory and annihilate him. ”
"It would be a bit too fake for the heavy infantry to escort me and run away, but if our army retreats in an orderly manner, and let the soldiers hidden in the woods come out and cover each other's retreat, this will be enough. Clearly tell the enemy that although our commander is hanging, he still maintains the battle sequence, don't come out to attack, and the mourning soldiers are not easy to mess with, unless their commander is an idiot, otherwise ordinary people can't hold it back, and they will definitely take the initiative to attack. ”
I could feel Kohler's eyes full of admiration when he looked at me, and it was no wonder that in the Middle Ages when force was paramount, all that was important was who had thicker armor and sharper weapons.
But in a short period of time with me, I have shown him the excellent art of war in ancient China, two of the thirty-six strategies and my profound strategic skills, and I can't help but admire this group of barbarians, when Hannibal used a siege tactic in the battle of Cannae, the Romans were scared to the point of urine, and they were worshiped as the god of war for thousands of years.
"Don't worship me too much!" My hippie smiley face on horseback.
Kohler didn't answer me, but looked worriedly in the direction of the castle, and then glanced at the woods where the heavy infantry was hiding, and one sentence destroyed my smugness: "If I were the commander of the castle, I would never open the city to pursue, and it would be impossible to defeat a complete and orderly heavy infantry and seize the body of the opposing commander, and the enemy situation is unknown, because they don't know how many troops we have come, and the commander who rushes out is an idiot." ”
It makes sense, I nodded, the IQ of these people is not so low-level, I am really a little worried about what Kohler said, in case the enemy does not pursue, I have been preparing for so long, and I have suffered an arrow and eaten it all in vain, the most terrible thing is not the failure, but the Emperor Otto and those great nobles who fell into the well, took the opportunity to rectify my follow-up actions, and then it was really doomed.
"So what do you say?" I anxiously asked Kohler, this guy was my only lifesaver right now.
Kohler smirked and squeezed his eyebrows, glanced at the bull and me, drew his dagger, took the reins of the horse, and said, "Your Excellency, you can just settle accounts after the fall......"
Before I could understand what was going on, and before it was too late, Kohler thrust the dagger into the horse's neck with all his might, and the pained horseman stood up and flipped me down so hard that I grinned in pain.
As the bull was about to speak, Kohler pointed at him and said, "Now you are all dead, lie there and squeak!" ”
The bull turned to look at me, and I nodded with a twisted face, the wound on my shoulder about to explode. Kohler threw away the dagger and shouted at the top of his voice, "Everyone, run for your life, your lord is really dead!" ”
The heavy infantry who were waiting around them were stunned for some reason when they heard his words, and then looked at me and the bull lying motionless on the ground, especially the red-stained snow under me, and looked at each other for a full five seconds, and then threw away their armor and threw off the ice and muddy water on my face.
The heavy infantry, who had just received the signal in the woods, saw the chaotic rout here, and although they couldn't figure out the situation, they all scattered and fled.
In any case, the open space in front of the castle was littered with armor and weapons, the soldiers were rushing to the road, and there were two heavy armor lying on the ground cosplaying the dead, and the scene looked like a large army was scattered, and there was no doubt that we were really broken up now......
Kohler stood in the wind, guarding my corpse, staring intently at the castle gates, letting the soldiers running around him keep hitting his shoulders.
I'm already completely desperate, and I can't regret that I can't steal chickens and rice, and I have a good time, but it's good, the army is completely scattered, and I can't gather anymore.
"My lord, they're out!"
Kohler excitedly lifted me up from the ground and pointed to the castle gate.
"Then why don't you run away?"
I jumped up from the ground like a spring, and ran forward with a few soldiers, Kohler and the bull followed closely around me, and the panicked soldiers around me all stood still in disbelief when they saw the viscount who had come back to life, and Kohler waved his hand to gather them:
"This is the miracle of Christ! Adults are resurrected! All glory be to the Lord! Come and gather! ”
Saying this, more and more soldiers who had not yet run far gathered around us, and slowly became a scale.
I swore I hadn't run this far since the junior high school athletic meet, my lungs felt like they were burning, and every breath hurt hotly, but the bull and Kohler walked calmly, and their faces didn't blush.
"Perverted!"
After scolding, I looked back at the pursuers, and suddenly an indescribable force rushed straight to my brain from the dantian, and I overtook everyone in a trot.
The enemy's pursuers were all cavalry, and not far behind, and I watched as the two soldiers who were at the end were trampled down by their horses and trampled to pulp.
"Array!"
The bull stopped with a sharp brake, drew the long sword on his back with his backhand, and with his order, more than two dozen heavy infantry with long swords on his back formed a triangular attack formation and waited for him.
Kohler also quickly drew his arrow and his bow, and instantly shot down the rebel knights who rushed to the front.
I stopped not far away, and when I touched my waist, I found that my long sword had long since disappeared, so I had to shout and order: "Surround the rebels, and let not one go!" ”
Except for a dozen frightened soldiers who were still desperately fleeing, most of them lined up according to the heavy infantry of the bull, holding all kinds of weapons they could find, and the enemy's pursuers also pulled the galloping horses in unison, and the two sides confronted each other.
I squinted into the distance, and saw a group of knights rushing out of the woods, hurrying towards the rebels who were panicking to close the gates, and the heavy infantry left by the bull followed them, and my plan seemed to have succeeded.
Of course, after our 100-10 men defeated the enemy's pursuers, and the Lannister knights led a hundred knights to seize the gates of the city that an unknown number of rebels desperately guarded, I said responsibly, I know this is a bit, and the dead horse has the right to be a live horse doctor!
