Section 1120 The Battle of Reesburg in the Dragon City Counteroffensive
The next morning, the weather became even worse, and the rain washed the land, and the city of Reesburg was covered with rain and fog.
From the window of the tower tower, Anthony stared in the direction of the south side, and in the woods not far away, the tent of Kneite's army was faintly visible, and he looked a little tired at the moment from the responsibility of defending Reesburg.
Faced with the Knight army in Dragon City, Anthony was anxious about this group of young new commanders, he never thought that there would be such a strong resistance force after Knight died. With Caldis, Robitt and Cook in front of Rysburg, and another group of Knight rookies such as Carter, Xiao Daocheng and Dimis occupying Ritunburg, the Knight seems to be rising more violently than the previous kingdom army.
The god of war who once terrified the entire continent still seems to be protecting his descendants. In the past, the sixteen kingdoms of the Knight were almost wiped out, and at that time, a group of paladins came from the northern country Fengdu to save the fate of the Knight extermination. Although the entire northern territory has been slaughtered to nothing this time, another group of Dragon City knights has come from the southeast side, and everything in history seems to be repeating itself, as if it is doomed to the indelible fate of the Knights.
Thinking of this, Anthony looked a little discouraged, and he specified that he didn't want to continue the duel, because just one Caldis gave him a headache, not to mention that there were great masters like Robit and Cook in Knight's team.
Prince Vacas sent another letter last night, once again telling Anthony to preserve his strength and not to lose the Imperial Knights army for a battle or a city. In the face of these remnants of the country, Anthony has received a retreat order from the prince for the second time. This was the case when he attacked Dragon City two years ago to chase Cook, and now it is the same in the face of the counterattack of the Dragon City army, Anthony doesn't understand what Prince Warkas is afraid of, maybe the prince is just doing this to protect himself from any mistakes.
But Anthony never wanted to live under the care of the prince, so he felt that he would only be looked down upon by Fiona more and more, and he wanted more glory and respect, which must be achieved by his own efforts.
This time, Anthony did not thoroughly carry out Prince Vacas's orders, at least during the retreat, he could not let the group of Kites in Dragon City progress too smoothly.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Anthony led the army of imperial knights who had eaten breakfast, braved the rapid heavy rain to go out of the city gate again, and continued to line up in front of the city wall, waiting for the arrival of the Dragon City Knight army.
However, Anthony led the army and waited in front of the city wall for more than two hours, and there was still no sign of Knight on the plain on the south side.
It wasn't until noon that the belated Knight army appeared on the horizon, much to Anthony's surprise.
However, Anthony had a keen eye, and he soon noticed that this Knight army was a little different from yesterday's, and there were many light blue banners in the enemy ranks, which was clearly the symbol of the Knight Sun Waters territory.
Anthony was shocked that the Knight had changed a team to attack Reesburg overnight, and he had not received any news, which showed how secretive the Knight was in this matter, which was completely confusing his vision.
Anthony did guess correctly, and Spate led the Third Army of Dragon City to Reesburg overnight. According to the battle strategy of His Royal Highness Prince Relton, he came to replace the Caldis of the First Legion, so that the First Legion could bypass the city of Reesburg without realizing it, and then rush north to attack the royal capital.
Spat wears the Sword of Cologne at his waist, one of the four knightly swords of the Knights, and this sword has never been used in the battlefield since it was passed on to the Cologne. Now that the sword is in the hands of Spartth, the once-obscure sword of Cologne has finally found its place.
Anthony had watched young Cook escape from his hands, and yesterday he met the powerful Caldis, who had already failed twice in the Imperial battlefield, which was an insult to Anthony. He knew that there was a legendary Knight hero Spartt in the sunny waters, and he also knew that the commander-in-chief of this army must be him, but Anthony wanted to fight alone with Sparte as the commander-in-chief again.
Anthony's purpose is clear, if he can kill or defeat Knight's hero Spart, then he can save some face for the first two misses, thus having the effect of damaging Knight's morale and confidence. For this duel, Anthony decided to give it his all, never to withdraw as easily as yesterday, and he would not give up regardless of victory or defeat.
Spat was a typical knight of Knight, with the most upright knightly dignity in him, and at Anthony's invitation to a duel, Spat did not hesitate to pull out the knight's sword.
When Anthony saw the cold knight's sword for the first time, he suddenly felt a little panicked in his heart, but he couldn't say what the reason was for a while.
At the moment when Spartt swung his arm and slashed, the long sword in Anthony's hand was then cut off, causing Anthony to break out in a cold sweat. Anthony exclaimed, and then he hurriedly turned his horse's head and fled with such determination.
He had seen this kind of scene before, and Warkas had demonstrated the use of the Knight's Sword of Kings to slash ordinary weapons, a knight's sword so sharp that if it was hard enough, it would sharpen anything like clay. The sword in Spat's hand must be the knight's sword of the Knights, this man not only has a sharp weapon in his hand, but also his arm strength is amazingly strong, which makes Anthony choose to flee without hesitation, otherwise he will definitely die in the hands of Spartt in a few seconds later.
Spart, known for his bravery, was able to do things and rarely said useless words, and as soon as he saw Anthony fleeing with his ponytail flicked, he immediately raised his knight's sword and gave the order to attack.
Behind Spartt were also five knights, and when the knights heard the instructions to attack, they marched in unison and slaughtered the city piece by piece.
There were too many knights among the knights, and the gaps at the gates were limited, so it was obviously too late to quickly retreat into the city in a short period of time. Coupled with the fact that Anthony quickly lost the duel this time, the morale of the Black Knights team was greatly reduced, and the awareness of resistance decreased significantly.
The arrows of both sides kept shuttling back and forth, the knights fell one by one, and the casualties on both sides began to rise rapidly in the melee.
Anthony remembered the words of the prince at this time, and he was keenly aware that if he did not abandon the city and flee at this time, the two imperial knights would most likely be wiped out here, and then he would not be able to explain to the prince of the empire.
In the melee, Anthony hurriedly ordered the chief knight and the chief guard behind him to quickly withdraw the main force of the black knight army to the west, and then led a knight brigade to break the rear himself.
However, the road to the west was not so easy, and the idea of breaking through to the west had long been guessed by Spart, and it was the Knights of Basel who were guarding in front of them. Basel danced the spear in his hand and completely blocked the path of the army of the Black Knights of Tombis, and no matter how the Tombis people charged, they were always repelled by the powerful Basel army.
One more minute of delay would have caused the Imperial Knight army to suffer more losses, and Anthony hurriedly changed his strategy and personally led the army to break through to the east.
The knights of Thomas, who were in charge of garrisoning the eastern front, led the defense in the face of Anthony's personal charge. Unexpectedly, Anthony's strength was strong, and death was everywhere he went, and he and the black knights tore a hole. Thomas was anxious and wanted to personally lead the team to intercept Anthony's forwards, but there were too many Knight Knights crowded in front of him, and he couldn't get past it at all.
However, Spartt had already taken this into account in his deployment, so he had already arranged for another knight to be deployed in the southeast position. Garrisoned at the southeast corner was the knights of Corbini, and when they saw Antony beginning to break through to the east, he hurriedly led the army around the north side and blocked Antony from the northeast side.
Anthony had already broken through Thomas's line with the army of black knights, and the two army of black knights behind him desperately tore the gap and followed Anthony to the east to break through.
When Anthony turned to the north side, he was confronted by the Knight team led by Gobini, and Anthony did not show fear, and directly led the Black Knights to continue to attack the Knight team.
The two led their own troops to each other, and whether they could stop the breakthrough of the barbarian army depended on whether Corbini could block Anthony's first-round impact.
In this war, Spartt arranged everything very well, guarding a stronger knight order on the east and west, and his own knight order on the south side of the Yansha. The Knights of Gobini and Kudonster were separated from each other to the southeast and southwest, respectively, and they could support both the south and the east and west.
However, although the plan is very thorough, the reality is always surprising and unexpected. Captain Corbini, who was once mighty in the sunny waters, did not perform well in front of the powerful Anthony, and was shot down by Anthony in a few moves, and then Knight's team was quickly routed by Anthony.
When Spartt led the Knights of his headquarters to help, Anthony had fled to the north with most of the Black Knights' army, and Spartt had only intercepted a very small part of the Black Knights.
Facing the incompetent Corbini, Spat sneered and said: "In the past, you were very majestic in the territory, as if you were invincible in the world. Judging from today's situation, you are really not as good as my knight Captain Delan, and you are also worthy of being the head of this knight order, which is really not ashamed. ”
Gobini was more than ten years older than Spart, and he was naturally very dissatisfied with being reprimanded by Spart. Corbini said angrily: "How did I know that this kid is so powerful, he accidentally fell off his horse, if he dares to fight me for a few more rounds, I promise to let him die here." ”
Dere, who was standing next to Spart, mocked, "People have already run away, what's the use of talking about this." Captain Corbini, you are really not good except for bragging. ”
Corbini angrily pointed at Deran and said, "What is your identity, what qualifications do you have to talk to me." ”
"What identity?" , Delan said very proudly: "Just because I killed a knight captain on the other side just now, it is much stronger than you didn't kill an enemy." ”
"You ......", after listening to Deran's words, Gobini was so angry that his cheeks bulged, and he wanted to scold him, but he didn't know how to speak.
Spartt turned his horse's head and said, "Okay, no nonsense." Gobini, I'll send you another mission. Lead the Knights to defend the north gate of Riesburg at once, and this time don't let another barbarian escape, or I will punish you severely. ”
Corbini glared angrily at Deran, and replied to Spart, "Yes, Lord Deputy Commander-in-Chief, I will go." ”
After saying that, Gobini shook his hand at the knight captains behind him, and then led the knights to quickly surround the north of the city.
Although Anthony successfully withdrew with two Imperial Knights, there were still 2,000 archers and 1,000 infantry from the Empire in the city of Reesburg, as well as some Tubis troops for supply logistics. Spart's failure to chase after the fleeing Anthony was the most important goal, otherwise Caldis and his First Legion would be left alone, and the entire Legion would be in danger of being surrounded.
After three days of fierce assault, the Tubis people in the city suffered heavy casualties, and finally they took the initiative to open the city gates and gave up resistance.
Spart, a righteous warrior, did not intend to kill the captives, but simply imprisoned them in the dungeons of Reesburg.
But with the arrival of the Duke of Cologne, the Tubis captives of Reesburg met their doom, and under the bloody butcher's knife of Cologne, the poor captives were taken en masse by death.
Blood splattered around the guillotine, and when the blood came together, it flowed through the city's aqueduct into the River Knight, completely staining the western half of the River Knight.
All the knights of Knight cheered for Cologne's approach, as if they were demanding a blood debt from the Tubis, and the more barbarians they killed, the more excited the Knight became. Cologne did this for the simple reason that he wanted to get the same glory as Carter did in Ritunburg. But he thought too much, and the victory in Reesburg was entirely due to Spartt, which had nothing to do with him Cologne. Compared to Carter's victory at Ritunburg, Spartt's record in Ritsburg was a bit bleak, allowing the enemy to escape from the two Black Knights, killing not only fewer enemy troops than Ritunburg, but also losing a much larger number of knights.
At this point, Knight World is no longer worried about whether it can drive out the barbarians, but is speculating about who will be the most famous person in this counterattack.
Is it Carter? The vast majority of people think so, but there are still a small number of people who feel that the best is yet to come, and it depends on whether Caldis, the first legion that attacked the royal capital, can perform better.
