"Hooked!"

At that time, seeing the Duke of Brittany's side flying sand and rocks, and the smoke and dust billowed from the Duke's side, Magnus not only did not fear, but clenched his fists excitedly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Hooked."

Compared to him, Odega's expression was also a little flat, although it was a little excited.

The war has not yet ended, the war has just begun, and no one dares to decide whether to win or lose until the last moment.

This is the lesson of his thirty years of military experience.

"Go tell those guys to stop standing there and get ready for me!"

Grabbing the collar of a herald behind him, he was almost out of breath, and Odegar watched the unlucky guy nod frantically before he let go.

Actually, the pressure on Odega is really quite high.

So, what exactly is Magnus's trap?

No, no, no, it's not a pit, it's too old-fashioned, it's too easy to spot, Magnus's trap, it's a brand new thing.

The scientific name is flooring.

Everyone has seen this thing on the floor, and when it is laid on the ground, it is naturally not a little threatening, but once it is erected, it is a killing weapon under the effect of speed.

After all, the edges of the thin floor were sharper than most swords in the Middle Ages - and I wasn't kidding.

Then, it's a matter of how to erect the floor that is laid on the ground.

Magnus took a very simple approach: by human power, pulled with a rope.

Magnus's floor, of course, can't be like a modern floor, made of marble, square, that kind of craftsmanship in the Middle Ages is a sky-high price just for manual fees, in fact, Magnus's so-called floor, is the wooden wall used to defend against bows and arrows two days ago.

Just sharpen the wood in front of the wooden wall, put a rope on the pointed end, and wait for the cavalry to arrive, immediately pull up the plank buried in the ground at a forty-five degree angle, and then just sit and wait for the cavalry to die.

Of course, the premise is that people can't make mistakes.

When people make mistakes, it's all over.

Because of this, Odegar told the mercenaries repeatedly before the war that there must be no mistakes, absolutely, absolutely.

However, errors appeared.

If you put Magnus in the position of a spectator from a different angle, he can also understand the behavior of the mercenaries - the power of the cavalry charge increases exponentially with their numbers, and the two-hundred-man charge and the fifty-man charge are completely different concepts, the latter is just a cloud of smoke, while the former is like a small earthquake, a humanoid natural disaster!

But, understanding is understanding, Magnus now only wants to chop off the dog's head of the guy who dropped the chain at the critical moment!

In an instant, there were heavy casualties!

The cavalry in front of the left was pierced by the sudden rejection of the horse, and the cavalry in the rear who braked in time also lost its impact, but the cavalry in the front on the right was like mercury spilling into the ground, driving straight in!

Fortunately, however, between the cavalry and the Praetorian Guard, there was still a layer of corpses in the way.

It was the corpses of fifty cavalrymen who had previously been used as cannon fodder for testing, along with their horses, and the wreckage of the same number of Praetorian Guards, slightly able to slow down some of the cavalry.

-- The decrease was about 70 yards to 60 yards.

Does it make a difference?

For the Janissaries in the first row (formerly the second), there was nothing at all.

There was a crisp 'click', which was the sound of the horse's head striking the fragile flesh of a human being, and the bones shattered; the soldiers in the first row were the happiest, because they lost their lives without feeling anything, while the soldiers in the second row still watched as the high-headed horses rushed towards them with only a slight pause, and their speed did not decrease in the slightest!

…… The first platoon of the Praetorian Guards was almost completely wiped out, the second platoon was either dead or wounded, and those who were alive could only lie down and gasp, and most of the third platoon was seriously wounded plus serious fractures, until the fourth platoon, when the cavalry, which had lost most of its speed, barely stopped.

The power of a collision is so far!

This is thanks to Odega's previous order that the spears planted in the ground have not been put away, otherwise, the number of casualties would have to at least double.

It's no wonder that the traditional lords of Europa have developed heavy cavalry at once.

Such a power that even Magnus would have been terrified when he saw it; Even the Praetorian Guard, which he spent a lot of effort on training and heavy equipment, can be called the world's first-class, and is by no means inferior to half a point compared to any army, is so vulnerable.

In most cases, the average European lord is faced with untrained and unarmored levies, and charging with heavy cavalry is indeed the most cost-effective option.

But now is not the time to think about that.

Because of the military spirit, it was shaken.

Two successive waves of heavy casualties caused the Praetorian Guard to lose at least a hundred casualties - this is only the number of killed, not counting the wounded - endured a third of the casualties, the Praetorian Guard has not collapsed until now, and is still fighting with all its might, this is already a super-first-class iron army!

But that's the end of it.

The casualty rate is more than 10 percent and it does not collapse, this is an ordinary army, more than 20 percent has not collapsed, this is an elite division, more than 30 percent has not collapsed, this is enough to go down in history.

But further up, even the most valiant army is impossible.

It's not a matter of courage, it's a question of organization.

What is the concept of more than 30 percent casualties? This means that the organization of the whole army has been broken up and lost! The whole army is not organized, it is fighting on its own!

What is the difference between an army without organization and a tiger without fangs?

Besides, the Praetorian Guards, who were fighting desperately, may not feel it yet, but the mercenaries around them, just looking at the scene of the cavalry charge, a few recruits began to pee their pants!

Not to mention the bloody blood at that moment, even if it is a veteran, it will be two wars.

Cavalry charge, the most powerful is not its power, but its deterrent, people are good luck and avoid evil animals, instinctively speaking, no one, no one is in the sight of their own kind of flesh and blood flying, the body of the collision is mutilated and scattered everywhere, not frightened!

It's human instinct!

If this were the game, Magnus would have seen a white flag flashing across the board, representing the army on the verge of collapse.

Rather, those mercenaries have not escaped yet, and they are already quite worthy of their payment.

"Your Royal Highness!"

Bad things always come when they are said, and they don't give people a little preparation.

With Odegar's eager shouts, Magnus turned back and saw a figure fleeing from the desert.

It's just too bad.

Man is not only an animal that seeks good fortune and avoids evil, but also a creature that blindly obeys, as long as one person starts to escape, it is only a matter of an eye that the whole line collapses.

Especially in this situation where morale is already shaken.

There is only one way to do it today.

Magnus gritted his teeth, yes, he had ordered many lives to be taken, and even this war was caused by his own selfish desires, but he never thought of seeing such an unknown stranger die because of his orders.

“…… Odega, I heard your archery skills are good. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, within a hundred steps, where to fight."

Odegar shook her body and straightened up in reply.

He had already guessed what His Royal Highness was going to say.

"Then show me, right now, shoot that coward, and let everyone know what the result of escaping is like!"

Rewarding the brave and punishing the cowardly is the first step that must be learned to become a good general.

It is often said that the army is a melting pot, but even if it is, it is made of copper and iron, and even stainless steel. What kind of person you want to become depends on the environment.

Put a cowardly person in a group of heroes, and this cowardly person will become heroic, and put a hero in a group of cowards, even if it is a hero, he will become a bear.

So!

Even though Magnus said it was completely different from what he thought, he still had a cold face and made a look of extreme anger - he didn't have to do it, he was angry enough, and then said something like this.

The poem that will hold the bow like a full moon is a perfect description of Odega.

Archery, which was again the preserve of the medieval aristocracy, was of course that the peasants who could not even eat enough to eat certainly did not have the leisure to play such an 'elegant' sport, and according to the laws of the Middle Ages, everything in the forest, including trees and rivers, belonged to the nobility, and the peasants were blinded by poaching.

But Odegar, he is different from the average nobleman.

His archery skills are exceptional.

This is also one of the advantages brought by the years, although the strength is decreasing day by day, but the experience, mentality and other abilities have been steadily improving, the hand is steady, the heart is calm, and the arrow shot will naturally hit the target.

An arc crossed, and the fleeing man fell.

The whole army is forbidden.

It stands to reason that Magnus has made such a perverse act, which is tantamount to making it clear that he did not take the mercenary's life into account, and the mercenaries are now frightened for a while, but when they react, Magnus's life will not be saved.

However, Magnus did another thing that surprised everyone.

He drew the knight's sword from his waist.

It's the one that once showed Odega, the amazing beauty.

Although it was not decorated with any gold jewelry, it still attracted the attention of most of the people on the battlefield.

"Soldiers, you have all seen the fate of the escape!"

"I have no grievances with him, but this is war! War does not allow the existence of cowards! ”

"If there is any escape, your fate will be the same as his!"

After saying the harsh words, Magnus slowed down his tone again and began to say reward.

Beating a stick to give a sweet date has always been the best way to manage unruly guys.

"Use a human head as a voucher, kill a person, and reward ten Trier gold coins! Kill 10 people and reward 100! If there is anyone who takes the head of the Duke of Brittany, he will be made a baron! Hereditary replacement! ”

That's a pretty high prize.

Although the baron is only at the bottom of the aristocratic class, he is also a human being, at least managing the lives of thousands of people, and he is even higher than the knight lord!

What's more, these lowly mercenaries, who were originally inferior to the status of peasants, suddenly jumped to the nobility, what is there to be dissatisfied with?

Therefore, the morale of the mercenaries can be said to be bursting all of a sudden, and the unpleasantness just now has long been unknown where to fly.

But Magnus also knew that it was all temporary.

The temptation of fame and fortune, the temptation of money...... It's no different from anger or impulsiveness, and as soon as someone shows them a naked death threat, their brains, which are no different from paste, will cool down immediately.

Therefore, they also need an example to lead them in the charge.

This role model can't be Odega.

Because Odega is the commander, he also needs battlefield scheduling.

So this example can only be himself.

All these thoughts were done in Magnus's mind in a split second.

Right or wrong, he didn't have time to think about it anymore.

"Soldiers! Fame and fortune, life and death, all today! Magnus raised his sword high, his eyes firm: "Now! Charge with me! God bless the brave! ”

PS: Finally home...... It should be able to update stably starting today.
