"The whole army obeys the order, and the counterattack begins!"

Holding his sword high in his right hand, Odo used all his strength to convey his orders to the noble generals and soldiers in the city.

"Fight back, fight back!"

"Our army will win, kill!"

The Norman warriors shouted slogans and rushed out of the gates under the cover of the archers on the walls, ignoring the flames that had not yet dispersed.

At the same time, both the Hohenzollern brothers, who were on the left flank of Stralsund, Admiral Randolph on the right flank, and Robert, who was loitering on the periphery, all began to attack the Slavic army of the chieftain of Conyto.

Almost at the same time as the siege was frustrated, the Slavic army of the chieftain of Konyito came under attack from all sides, and in front of it was the elite Norman hoplites who had rushed out of the city, and under the cover of the archers on the walls, they were charging at the defeated Slavic vanguards.

On the left, right, and flank, they themselves were surrounded by countless Norman soldiers, and everywhere they looked, the shouts of the Norman army were everywhere, and the shiny and dense blades pointed at them, making people feel infinite fear.

"Run! We have completely failed, and if we don't run away, we will die! The previously arrogant Slavic soldiers were now screaming and fleeing.

The situation is irretrievable, and it is surrounded by a larger number of Norman soldiers, and even if the god of war is alive, it will not be able to save the defeat.

"Lord Kang Yituo, please retreat with us, otherwise if it is too late, you will be stumped by this group of defeated soldiers." A Slav dressed as an aristocratic woman was now anxiously exhorting Chief Kangyito.

"Yes, Lord Kang Yituo, we can recruit those lowly ordinary soldiers after we go back, but we must save the lives of all our nobles and knights, otherwise it will be all over." Another nobleman followed suit.

Chief Kang Yituo looked at the soldiers who did not rush, and his heart was constantly dripping blood, this is the strength in his hands, not only did he gain nothing in this battle, but also damaged most of the army in his hand, so he could not suppress the clan within the clan.

However, what the nobles said also made sense, the situation at this time was to save the defeat, it was impossible to keep the army, and the only way to do this was to retreat with the nobles and some of the elites first, and turn to the safety of the rear, only then would they have the strength to fight again, otherwise if they were captured by the Normans, I don't know what these Christians would do to them.

"Retreat." Kang Yituo was ruthless, and finally gave the order to retreat: "Retreat!" The whole army retreats! ”

"Knights, escort Lord Kangyito to Mecklenburg!" The nobleman who had first proposed to retreat excitedly followed the order.

The Slavic nobles were extremely swift, they were in a convenient position at the rear of their own army at the beginning of the war, and even more so when they retreated, so that they could get out of here on horseback without entangling with the rout.

At this time, this defeated army, which numbered as many as tens of thousands, also became a shield for the chieftains of Kangyito and the Slavic nobles, and if the Normans wanted to pursue them, they must at least defeat this group of Slavic defeated troops first.

"It's Kangyito, it's the Slavic nobles that Chief Kangyito and his men fought!" A Norman knight excitedly came to Robert's side, and pointed with his right hand in the direction where Kang Yituo and the others had fled.

"Sure enough, it was them, the whole army abandoned these enemy infantry, and pursued Chief Kangyituo with me, and captured them all." After confirming it with his binoculars, Robert put it away and waved his hand in command.

"Yes, Lord Robert." The Norman knights raised their weapons and cheered for this side of the peace.

"Kill me!" Robert, with his broad-bladed sword in his right hand, pursued him first.

"Kill! Kill! The Norman knights behind Robert were not slow to react, and quickly followed behind him, organizing a pursuit formation as they galloped their horses.

The Norman horses were carefully bred by William with great investment in horse breeds introduced from Arabia and Iberia, especially the Andalusian horses, which made the Norman horses superior to other horses of his time in terms of speed and endurance.

Reflected in the combat effectiveness, the Norman knights were often able to crush several times their own number of cavalry, or more infantry, with inferior forces, and the speed and sprinting ability that the Norman horses brought to the Norman knights were unmatched.

With the help of the sturdy Norman horses, thousands of Norman knights soon caught up with the chief of Conyito and the noble knights of the Slavs.

The Normans had a good way of dealing with pursuits, they did not chase them one by one, but divided the cavalry into two or more divisions, and then one of them continued to harass the enemy, while the rest of the cavalry kept up at a constant speed.

When the cavalry in charge of harassment got tired, another cavalry went up to take their place, and so on, harassing and shooting at the enemy day and night.

As the pursued side, Chief Conyito and his Slavic noble knights need to be vigilant to deal with possible enemies at all times, and the nerves are always tense and easy to fatigue.

In the end, in this pursuit, the Normans were able to retain at least two-thirds of their intact combat strength, while the pursued chieftain Kangyito was exhausted, and his army was largely ineffective.

"Brave Norman knights, we have pursued them all the way from Stralsund to the present day, the enemy is exhausted, and we still retain our strength and will to fight.

Now is the time for us to reap the fruits of the war, opposite to the chief of the Mecklenburg tribe, Kang Yituo, and the heads of the various clans, nobles, as long as they are captured, whether they live or die, it will be a great achievement.

When the war is over, His Majesty the Wise William will give us a fertile fiefdom and a glorious title of nobility, which belong to us and are God's gift to us! Robert, sword in the air, galloped in front of the Norman knights, and spoke aloud.

Encouraged by Robert, the Norman knights cheered from time to time, and the speed of the horses under them also increased a few points.

"Hurry, hurry, the Normans are coming after you!" Chief Kang Yituo didn't care about maintaining a wise and mighty image at this time, and the whip in his hand kept whipping the buttocks of the war horse, shouting loudly.

"Don't try to escape, look at the move!" Robert was the first to catch up with Chief Kangyito, who was only one or twenty meters away from him, almost within reach, when he took out a throwing axe from the cloth bag hanging from the saddle and threw it at Kangyito's back.
