That's what I'm seeing at the moment......

Everywhere there are battles of people on their backs and heart-rending screams from dying people!

The enemy's heavy infantry relied on the superiority of equipment and physical strength, like a vicious wolf crashing into a flock of sheep, rushing left and right with great force, tearing a hole in the phalanx of pikemen alive, and then constantly encroaching on both sides, seizing space for the comrades behind.

Most of the recruits who went to the battlefield for the first time, who had never seen such a formation, were so frightened that their legs were like chaff and they retreated, and their spears were unstable, and the bulls were squeezed aside by the crowd and could not join the battle, so they could only yell in vain, kick the buttocks of the soldiers around them who wanted to escape, and throw them back into the ranks like chickens, but these recruits can still keep their positions from collapsing, it is really a blessing from God, so don't ask too much for them.

"Hans, go around with heavy cavalry, attack the enemy from behind, and return the favor with the way of others!"

Seeing that the phalanx of pikemen was showing signs of collapse if they could not hold on, I immediately gave the order to Hans, who had just assembled his cavalry: "Go around to the slope over there, charge from above, and I will let the archers answer you, and destroy them from the inside and outside." ”

Hans nodded, leaving half of the cavalry, and only the remaining fifty cavalry set out, and the bull did not know when, and ran to me with his battle axe, and his heavy infantry was already arranged on the periphery of the cavalry, and the heavy shields in their hands were inserted into the dirt, forming an impenetrable and strong defensive line.

"Are you alright, sir?"

The bull grabbed the reins of my horse and asked eagerly, "Get off the horse, in case the enemy is still in ambush with archers, you may be a live target for them!" ”

Hearing this, I immediately jumped off the horse reflexively, and even the bull was startled by the speed, I wiped the cold sweat on my head weakly, changed my face and changed my face to a resolute expression to cheer up the people around me, and scolded Fang Xuan with open teeth and claws:

"The enemy must have reinforcements, I don't know where they are lurking, waiting for us to show their flaws, this tree-lined path is too narrow, and on both sides there are small slopes covered with dense forests, there is no way to spread all the troops, and there is no way to do a thorough search, damn it!"

Kohler settled his army of archers, finally stopping their aimless shooting, and was led by experienced veterans with bows ready to answer orders.

"My lord, it's too dangerous here!"

Holding his beloved horned bow in his left hand and a few arrows in his right hand, Kohler keenly observed the battle situation as he walked, and shouted to me as he gave orders:

"Our troops are entangled like egg-laying snakes, and if the enemy's archers rain down from the sky, most of the soldiers will not be able to make an effective defense, and the casualties will be heavy and may cause irreparable losses."

"What then?"

I was so anxious that I grabbed my hair and pulled it down, almost turning myself into a medieval Ge You.

"Shall the army that has just been assembled disperse again at once?"

"It's even less desirable!"

Kohler finally ran to my side and protected me with the bull one after the other: "The enemy sent such two powerful ambush troops to attract our attention and contain the main force together. ”

I nodded, took out the long sword and held it in my hand to give myself courage, but my mind was completely chaotic, and I could have a life-saving straw in my hand, of course, I would obey my words.

If someone looks down from above now, they will find that the whole battlefield situation is like three oval eggs, the smaller one in front is the mercenary team, the largest in the middle is the main force of Nijmegen, and the smallest in the back is the armed priest of Archbishop Gaiulius of Berlin, the three eggs are tightly arranged on the narrow forest path, and the two in front are entangled by a large swarm of dense ants and cannot move.

"Who the hell are these enemies? There were no recognizable signs on their bodies, as if heavenly soldiers and generals who had fallen from the sky appeared in a flash. ”

I stomped my feet anxiously on the spot, and said to myself nervously: "If you know the route and time of our army's march well, you must have bought off the traitors inside a long time ago, and after careful planning, wait for us to throw ourselves into the net." ”

Kohler frowned and did not speak, he raised his head and carefully observed the situation of the battle on both sides, hoping to find the clues, and after a long silence, he suddenly slapped the door of his head and turned to me and said:

"Do you think the enemy's target will be the Bishop in the back? Only they have not yet been attacked by the enemy, and the enemy has managed to separate the mercenaries and main forces of the front team through ambushes, which is very much like what you said. ”

"And then?"

I was a little stunned when I heard Kohler say this, and the second monk asked in confusion: "It is our duty to protect the Bishop, no matter what they are coming for, they must be ready to complete the mission, can they still deliberately put the Bishop in danger just to test the direction of the enemy's attack?" This is exactly what the enemy is doing, and if there is a mistake in the Bishop, it is just a good handle for those little people who are waiting to fall into the well, which can be used to attack us, absolutely not! ”

Kohler and the bull looked at each other inexplicably, and the latter nodded understandingly, turned to me and said, "It's the same as fishing, how can you get something if you don't hook the bait?" Don't you always teach us that we can't let our children catch the wolf? Just had the opportunity to practice, take the opportunity to lure out all the enemy's ambushes, and give them a pot, besides, the Bishop's Templars are not given for nothing, it is impossible to collapse at the touch of a button, and our cavalry can quickly support them at such a close distance. ”

The two of them stared at me motionlessly, waiting for the final decision, at this time Hans's cavalry, had gone around behind the enemy's heavy infantry, began to charge from the hillside, the fifty war horses galloping like dozens of roaring tanks, instantly crushed the outermost enemy under the hooves of the horses and struggled to see God, the pikemen who fell into the bitter battle broke out into earth-shaking cheers, and the team that had just almost collapsed slowly regained its self-confidence, and cooperated with the cavalry to gradually divide and surround the heavy infantry, Effectively reverse the unfavorable situation on the battlefield.

"A decision must be made, otherwise the enemy is likely to see that the situation is not good, abandon the original plan and retreat, and then we will lose the opportunity to defeat them once and for all.

Seeing that I was still hesitant, Kohler was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, grabbed my arm and persuaded me again: "I will personally protect the Bishop, and make sure that nothing goes wrong!" ”

I put my sword back in its sheath, turned over and jumped on horseback, pointed to the dusty battlefield in front of me and said to Kohler: "I will now lead the remaining cavalry and half of the heavy infantry, rush to reinforce the mercenary troops, make a feint, and deceive the enemy with all the tricks, and as soon as they find out that they have sent a new ambush, everyone will immediately act according to the plan, cut off all possible retreats, you take a few good people to the Bishop's side, be sure to protect him, if he is missing a hair, do not come back to see me, Do you understand? ”

Kohler nodded, beckoned a few soldiers, and ran to the line of priests holding the cross flag behind him, and before he could go far the bull came over and asked me eagerly, "Kohler has a mission, what should I do, my lord?" ”

"Do nothing!"

I saw the doubt in his eyes, so I leaned down and patted the bull on the shoulder, and the thoughts in my mind were much clearer.

"This time, you are responsible for centering and scheduling, first destroying the enemy in front of you, then sorting out the defensive formation, arranging the soldiers at hand in an orderly manner, and deciding according to the situation on the battlefield whether to reinforce the Bishop's side or attack the enemy's flank."

The bull nodded solemnly, as if accepting some task as heavy as Mount Tai, which made me involuntarily serious, took the helmet handed by Rollo and put it on, clamped the horse's belly and led the cavalry, and ran out of the open position of the heavy infantry, like an arrow off the string, straight to the battlefield where the battle was in full swing.

In just a few steps, it was even more difficult than I had imagined, and I deeply realized the unattainable meaning of refinement, just getting the archers in front of me to dodge the passage, not to mention the outermost heavy infantry, having to pull their shields out of the dirt and keep the lineup in full force.

Out of real combat !!!

This is the first thought that flashes through my mind as I stare at the soldiers who are scrambling to vacate the place, the queue and assassination in the usual training are indeed beautiful,

But after going to the battlefield, they all became useless embroidered pillows, staggering and colliding with their own people.

The enemy, hidden in the shadows, seemed to see our intention to rescue the mercenary formation in front of us, and immediately reacted, and the bushes under the woods on both sides continued to make a sound, as if some reptile had run over, and soon many crossbowmen appeared on the hillside, condescendingly shooting at the heavy cavalry that had just come out of the phalanx, so that they had to raise the small round shield hanging on the side of the saddle to protect themselves.

Coupled with the gravity arrows falling from the sky, as if obtaining the strange power of the ancient giants, at such a close distance, it was easy to tear apart the expensive armor made of heavy cavalry, as if a child tore through the wrapping paper wrapped in toffee, the outermost cavalry was shot like a hedgehog, and even the moaning did not have time to make a sound, so he fell to the ground, and the war horse also pressed on him in pain, making a difficult neighing of dying, and the other war horses seemed to feel the unwillingness of the same kind before death, and worked hard to plane the ground, Nearly threw the rider off his horse, desperately trying to get through the rain of arrows as fast as he was told.
