"What? Is there such a good thing? I listened in disbelief as he finished speaking, and I didn't forget to pinch the back of my hand to see if I was dreaming.

"It's God's will, why didn't you report it sooner? Fast! Order everyone to go out immediately, let's go sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, there is a cheap and don't take advantage of the bastard! ”

I jumped to my feet, ran to the side of the war horse in three steps and two steps, snatched the reins handed by Rollo and turned over, the irritability caused by the unstoppable waiting disappeared in an instant, and my mouth was still nervous, and I kept praising and thanking God, yes, who can let the enemy kill each other so considerately except the All-Knowing and Almighty?

When we finally arrived at the place of the confrontation, the sun was trying to gather its last glory in the world, slowly sinking behind the ridge, and all the lovely things were bathed in a thick orange-red, and if it were not for the faint smell of blood in the air, I would have thought that I was still comfortable leaning on the large balcony of Nijmegen Castle facing the port, turning my glass of wine and watching the sunset.

There is a flat valley under the hillside, and the main road connecting the north and south passes through the middle, and a small river with a clear bottom and shimmering waves, flowing side by side on the roadside, should be a beautiful picture, but it was destroyed by the two armies in opposite formations in the valley, and the thick smell of blood also wafted from there, perhaps they were temporarily tired and collected their troops, and each raised a few roaring fires, busy preparing meals, and the smoke of the cooking covered up some of the mess after the war.

Dressed in tatters and holding slaves, hurrying to clean up the stumps and twisted corpses scattered in the clearing, it looks like we're late, just missing a good show.

"God punish these abominable Lorraine, the captives are all our people!" Hans crouched on his horse, and pointed to me with great certainty as the slaves carrying the corpses.

"It's useless for you to jump your feet and yell here."

I stared at the two captives carrying the corpses, punched and kicked by the Lorrainians for stumbling and falling, and turned my eyes to the two teams of men and horses who were burying the pots, looking for the wagons to load the booty.

"Seeing that it is almost dark, I ordered everyone to dismount and rest, not to light a fire or move around at will, and to gnaw on some dry food brought to satisfy hunger when hungry, let's wait and talk."

Rollo took the order, and the cavalry led the horses apart, and I found a place to sit together, and I gave the reins of my horse to the attendants who followed me, unfastened the straps of my helmet, stretched my sour limbs, and came to the shade of the tree that had long been arranged, and held the skin bag full of wine pulp and poured it on my neck, and then comfortably wiped the corners of my mouth that was stained with pulp, and chewed the dried meat and dried bread in my pocket.

The moon soon took a prominent position in the sky, and the noise from the valley below suddenly became noisy, and I, who was dozing off on the cushion, was gently woken up by Luo Luo, rubbing his confused eyes, and the whisper he attached to his ear slowly became clear: "My lord, you hurry up and take a look, somehow the enemy is fighting again." ”

I followed the sound to a viewpoint with a wide view and looked down, and sure enough, two teams of men and horses were holding torches and twisting together, like two fighting fire dragons, and from time to time there were heart-rending screams and frightened neighing of war horses.

In the film and television works of the previous life, I tried my best to render the image of a knight who does not eat the fireworks of the world, and at this moment it disintegrates into invisibility, just like the sneer that Kohler once broke out after being asked about his life experience: "Knight? It is nothing more than a group of armed hooligans dressed up in noble appearance, who can even betray the so-called pious and pure faith in God for the sake of profit and money. ”

"This is a God-given opportunity!"

I grabbed Luo Luo's shoulder and shouted, "Gather the cavalry immediately, let's go through the dark and mix it up while it's messing!" ”

Hans, who had heard the news, heard the order and hurried back to Zhangluo, and the cavalry of Nijmegen reacted quickly, and it was not long before they were ready to wait.

The road down the mountain is steep and rugged, with sliding gravel and tangled roots, always testing the warriors' riding skills, in order to avoid danger as much as possible, we choose a relatively gentle but far sheep intestine path, turning left and right to go down to the bottom.

The scouts who were ambushed in the shadows, half of their bodies emerged from the branches and leaves, and they disappeared silently, the flames in the distance reflected the figures, and the breeze sent a faint blood mixed with the scent of grass, it seemed that the physical conflict of the enemy once again evolved into a life-and-death fight, and then people swarmed up on the corpses of the dead and wounded, and the bodies of the desire to control cruelly added swords to the enemies who were allies not long ago, and the yellow and red twill battle flags that symbolized the Duke of Lorraine fell into the dirty ground that was stirred and muddy by blood and water, Let countless pairs of horseshoe human feet trample by.

I assigned the task to Hans and Rollo, who were gathered around: "You lead your banner team to outflank from both flanks, cut off all possible escape routes of the enemy, and prepare to stop and signal three times with torches, and I will drive all the remaining knights to a frontal assault, and then all four sides will be in unison, and you must catch them all!" ”

The knights of Nijmegen, with the help of their squires, made a final check before charging that the straps of the saddle were not fastened tightly, that the buckles of the chain mail were not properly fastened, and that the helmets were uncomfortable to wear......

The squire removed the holster from the spear to protect the blade, handed it to his master, and hung the mace behind the saddle within easy reach before he began to organize his equipment.

Everyone was silent with solemn expressions, and their faces were full of awe-inspiring majesty, only then did the knight transform back into the legendary unstoppable sword of God, like a robot that meticulously carried out a predetermined program, war for them meant the whole of life, either killing the opponent or being killed by the opponent, the difference was nothing more than facing different enemies according to the heart of the lord to whom he was loyal.

Infected by the atmosphere, I sat firmly on the back of the horse, hooked the stirrups with both feet, and pulled out the long sword that accompanied me through countless encounters in the sea of swords, the sharp sword body exuded a cold and murderous aura, like a bloodthirsty elf, I couldn't wait to drink the blood of the enemy, I stared at the blurred reflection of my face on the sword, and suddenly I couldn't read the secret in the depths of my eyes, was that my will? Or is it the mind of the previous owner of this shell?

"Out!"

I grabbed the horse's belly and urged my mount to run out first, and the guards hoisted the banner of Nijmegen and followed inseparably behind, followed by the well-clad cavalry and the knights in all different costumes and their squires, and an oppressive dullness enveloped everyone, and if it were not for the occasional chirping of the horses, I would almost have thought that I was leading an army of ghosts lurking in the night.

The reins were loosened little by little, the horses that had lost their restraints slowly lifted, the clear sound of hooves became chaotic, and gradually converged into a deafening roar, and the team methodically adjusted the charging formation in the open area, the knight in the middle slowed down, and the knight in the back caught up from the wings in a straight line, and the well-trained lowered the spear tip of the cavalry spear decorated with a horn flag.

I was in the center of the group, almost uncontrollably dashed, and the enemy in the scuffle was also in a strange situation, and many torches gathered in the direction we were facing.

Clamping the cavalry gun under the armpit and straightening its tail against the saddle to reduce the impact of the collision into the enemy formation, I mechanically operated step by step according to the standard charge action of this era, and at the same time I couldn't help but be stunned in my heart, the bloody battle that was about to come made me scared but helpless, the short distance was fleeting, and the few torches that had just been extinguished were replaced by the shields of the Lorraine infantry, and even the terrified expressions on their faces could be seen clearly!

I took a hard breath and shouted loudly with all the strength of my dantian: "God bless Nijmegen!" Advance! ”

The hot and unpleasant smell of blood filled my nose and brain, like a pervasive wire worm, burrowing into my brain and turning over the river and sea, leaving the whole soul out of the body, allowing the body to subconsciously swing and slash, on the edge of life and death, everyone is God's plaything.

I still remember when I rode into the enemy formation on the back of a war horse that had long been uncontrollable, the Lorraine warrior on the opposite side with a shield on his shoulder, the despair and horror in his eyes, but the spear he mounted on the shield also made me feel the same fear, the sharpened tip flashed with a breathtaking cold light, but the situation was out of control, the knights charging on both sides wrapped the timid me and crashed head-on, the arm holding the spear came a fleeting pain of the bone, and then lost consciousness, and the thick gun shaft shattered, There was an obvious pit in the shield, and the Lorraine soldiers on top of it could not withstand the strong impact after all, and did not know where to fly.

"Wow!"

The horse was stagnant, and the two front legs fell to their knees, throwing me far away like a trebuchet, and the knight behind couldn't dodge, and the horse fell to the ground with its front hooves, but fortunately I fell to the ground with a fallen corpse, but unfortunately the organs in the abdomen were still injured, and a mouthful of thick bloody black blood rushed up to the throat and spewed out uncontrollably.

I tried to lift my unconscious right arm, it was like a robotic arm with a broken string, it didn't respond at all, the shoulder muscles were high and bulging because of the bruising, and the slightest movement was immediately heart-rending pain.

"Damn, this arm is useless!"

I gritted my teeth and cursed, and staggered up to observe, only to see that the front and back were full of enemy and enemy soldiers who were fighting in a mess, no one was in the mood to take care of me, and my feet were full of convulsive dying people, who were covering their wounds in vain and moaning and screaming, as if this would stop the gushing blood.

I looked down for a weapon to defend myself, and picked up a long sword with a clenched broken arm, the sky was now completely dark, and I couldn't tell who was friend or foe, a few torches fell into the slimy blood, and the struggling flames refused to be extinguished, finally illuminating a small area, I stumbled along the glimmer of light, leaning over to my own side, my injured right arm hanging at my side and shaking like a pendulum.
