Section 45 Change of generals
At this time, Carter, who was beside him, reminded them: "This mountain pass is small, can we send people to climb the cliffs on both sides with bows and arrows, so that we can directly shoot the barbarians who rush into the mountain pass." ”
Deran turned his head to look at Carter and asked, "The battle is about to begin, where can I find such archers in this time?" ”
Carter couldn't answer the question, but Cook's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said to Robit: "Brother Robit, this battle is of great significance to us Knight, and it determines the life and death of our Knights. There are quite a few archers, and among our Knight people, there are many who can shoot and hunt, and there are many refugees behind us. To win this war, we will indeed need a large number of archers to ambush the ridges on either side. ”
Robit nodded, frowning in thought.
Miller continued: "Yes, but we are going to mobilize refugees, I am afraid that it will not have any effect, who will listen to us young people, and think that we are playing." ”
Robitt frowned, and said as he walked with his spear, "Let me come." ”
I saw Robit go straight to O'Higgins and directly interrupt his lecture to the knight commanders: "Captain, we can't fight like this, we have to make some preparations!" ”。
O'Higgins was worried that he couldn't find a good solution, and he hurriedly asked, "Oh? Did Master Robit have any good ideas? ”
Robit stretched out his hand and pointed to the mountains on both sides of the pass and said, "The terrain here is dangerous, and if the barbarians want to attack it, they must take this mountain pass in the middle." We only have one Knights, and we have no chance of winning against them. But if the archers are ambushed on these sides, it will definitely allow the barbarians to come and go, and it will also reduce the casualties of our knights. ”
O'Higgins sneered and said, "That being said, but where did we get so many archers, so we won't be able to disperse our combat strength and let some of the knights go up the mountain." ”
Robit shook his head and said, "No, there are hundreds of thousands of refugees behind us, and there are many hunters who can shoot arrows, and I believe that they all carry arrows with them and can directly arrange to go up the mountain." But to mobilize them, I'm afraid only you, the head of the regiment, are the most suitable, after all, this is under your jurisdiction. ”
O'Higgins asked sadly: "It's no problem for me to mobilize, but I have to command the knights to meet the battle, and the army can't be chaotic." ”
Robit smiled and said, "If the captain trusts me, let me command for you." ”
"You?" , Looking at the young knight in front of him, O'Higgins was obviously not very at ease with him, this was a matter of life and death in the territory of Dragon City, and it was definitely not a child's play.
Robit had expected him to do this, so he poked his spear into the ground, reached out and pulled out the long sword at his waist, and pointed it directly to the sky, pressing it to his nose.
O'Higgins looked at the long sword seriously, and the "Sword of Connor" on it was particularly eye-catching, so shocked that O'Higgins' eyes widened. Before O'Higgins could react, the five knight captains shouted with their swords, "Connor, Connor!" ”
That's right, as long as any knight knows this sword, this is the sword of Connor, the first duke of the kingdom, and it is also the knight's sword that represents the glory of Knight Knight. Judging from the enthusiasm of the knights, Robit's sword is much more effective than O'Higgins's words.
O'Higgins understood in an instant, he bowed deeply to the knight's sword, and told Robbit: "Well, I hope you can be as brave as your father, and the knights will be handed over to you." ”
After saying that, O'Higgins gestured to the five knights, signaling them to obey Robbit's command next, and then hurriedly turned around and went to the refugee group to gather the hunters.
Robit's expression was very serious, he raised the knight's sword in his hand, came to the knights with five knight captains, and shouted at everyone: "I am Robitt of the First Duke's Palace, Connor's sword is here, who dares to go with me to kill those damned barbarians?" ”
The First Duke's Palace, the Sword of Connor, these two titles have always been regarded as the pillars of the kingdom, and how affectionate and warm it must have been to the knights of Knight. The knight kingdom was defeated, and the defeated lost the king, the royal capital, the homeland and relatives, and countless people refused to accept such an ending, and they have been waiting for an opportunity in their hearts, waiting for someone to lead everyone to rise up and revolt and avenge everything that was lost.
Robit has been out of sight for years, but everyone knows that he was imprisoned in Ritunburg and is the only surviving descendant of the First Duke's Palace. Now he took the lead with Connor's sword held high, but anyone with blood would be aroused to his infinite fighting spirit.
Hearing Robit's shout, the whole knight order became enthusiastic, and everyone replied loudly, "I dare!" ”。 With just such a simple sentence, the entire knights were boiling and about to explode, and the knights' necks burst into veins, and they used all their strength to shout and show high fighting spirit.
The knights' voices were like thunder, startling O'Higgins to look back, and when he saw the knights' enthusiasm soaring, desperately raising their swords and shouting, O'Higgins' face showed a happy smile.
The afterlife is terrifying, O'Higgins kept sighing in his heart, he felt that this Robit was indeed a good commander, and there was really a way to drive everyone's enthusiasm. Thinking of this, O'Higgins had to admire him, because he had led the knights himself for so many years, and he had never seen these knights of his own so excited.
Identity, status, this is Robbit's unique innate condition, and O'Higgins is ashamed to be incomparable. Although the kingdom was destroyed and the First Duke's Palace became a barbarian camp, the prestige of the Duke's Palace was still there, and Robit, the descendant of the First Duke's Palace, naturally became the honorary successor.
O'Higgins made his way to the refugee camp as fast as he could.
Seeing the arrival of the leader of the territory, people got up one after another, looking at O'Higgins very helplessly, not knowing what he was here to explain to everyone.
O'Higgins cleared his throat and cried out with all his might: "All you who know how to shoot arrows, please bring your bows and your arrows, and take all your hatred with you, and gather with me at the pass and shoot with us the wicked barbarians." ”
O'Higgins said this sentence very beautifully, and it ushered in a roar of the refugees in response, arousing countless enthusiasm in everyone.
The poor refugees have long hated the barbarians, and they have been silently leaving their homes, evading the pursuit of the barbarians, in order to find their own army and wait for the opportunity to take revenge. Today the opportunity came, and no one wants to miss this battle.
The camp was in chaos, and everyone was in action. The hunters got up and searched for bows and arrows. The nobles began to rummage through the cabinets, taking out all the arrows, bows and arrows they had in their possession, and giving them to the people to pass and distribute.
Not only that, but countless noble guards and knights also came out with weapons, which can be called a national mobilization, pouring out their family funds without reservation.
Twenty minutes later, a team of archers consisting of more than 3,000 hunters was assembled, and more than 500 nobles' personal knights lined up behind the order. The strength of the people should not be underestimated, and even O'Higgins was shocked by the fact that there were so many people participating in the battle, at least in terms of numbers, they were no longer inferior to the barbarians.
O'Higgins didn't dare to slack off, he immediately summoned Cook and told Cook: "Cook, you and I each take half of the archers up the mountain, move quickly!" ”
Cook replied, "No, the captain should assist Big Brother Robit in commanding the Knights in battle." I'll arrange the archers' affairs, so go over quickly. ”
O'Higgins looked at Cook, originally questioning Cook's ability, but when he saw this Fox's son, he instantly remembered Robit just now. At present, the enemy can't tolerate so many concerns, maybe it's time to give these young people a chance to perform.
O'Higgins nodded in agreement, and returned to the ranks of the Knights with his sword.
Cook turned to Miller and Mompot and said, "After the battle starts, it will definitely not be safe in the valley, you two will each take half a team of archers up the mountain, remember to cooperate with each other, and you will be unified by Miller." ”
The two nodded together, and then Cook and his guards began to help the two of them distribute archers, dividing the three thousand men into separate divisions and leaving them to lead them separately, and quickly ascended the mountain from the left and right sides.
Cook then incorporated the five hundred noble knights into his ranks, and placed them under the command of the wounded Teresa in the rear of the Order.
After settling in, when Cook made his way through the crowded camp of the Knights to the front, the battle for the mountain pass had already begun.
Under the pass, the ground was littered with the corpses of the barbarians, and in front of the knights of Knight, the barbarians' infantry attack looked a little weak. It's just that these are the infantry legions of the barbarians, they only have scimitars and shields, they belong to the most primitive class of the barbarians, and the knights of Knight are their nemesis.
The barbarian infantry regiment numbered a full two thousand, and they formed a long line and continued to attack in the narrow mountain passes. Robit took the lead, speared at the front of the line, mercilessly slaughtering the hateful invaders.
