Chapter 48: The Battle of Como in the Conquest of Rollin (3)
Can two legs outrun four legs?
Maybe it's possible in other places, but here, no!
Two hundred knights rushed towards Allen's army with unparalleled momentum like a giant steel chariot. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and the soldiers who were supposed to form a thick array wall to block the knights' charge discarded their weapons and armor one after another and ran back.
The result was obvious, the chariot crashed into the crowd. Knock out all the life that stands in your way. No dense formations, no more pikes. The infantrymen were nothing more than fish slaughtered at will by knights.
"Kill!"
The cavalry captain roared angrily, and the knights discarded their riding spears one after another, drew the knight's sword at their waists, and wantonly slaughtered the soldiers around them.
"Lord Duke, the other party has rushed in! Send the soldiers of the second formation to resist! ”
"Don't be in a hurry, wait a little longer."
Allen ignored the casualties of the front-line soldiers and continued to hold the binoculars, paying attention to the battlefield.
The knights did not relax at all about this low-hanging fruit, and began to shuttle back and forth in the military formation in small teams, harvesting the lives of the soldiers.
However, at this moment, a rapid horn sounded suddenly.
The knight leader looked back in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and then shouted at the surrounding knights, "Retreat!" Fall back! ”
"Captain, why did you retreat? These Essians are cowardly like pigs, and they just took the opportunity to kill them all in one go, how can they retreat! ”
"Obey military orders! Do you dare to disobey the orders of His Royal Highness! ”
Although the fat sheep in front of them was so easy to obtain, the military order could not be done, and the knights could only regretfully give up continuing to expand the results. They followed the knight leader back to the barracks.
"This? Lord Duke, why did they retreat? Guy was puzzled, he didn't understand why Eren had given up his resistance, or why Rollin's side had suddenly retreated.
At this time, Alan put down the telescope and breathed a long sigh of relief. The corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and his eyes already revealed a little clear look.
"Quickly count the casualties. Let Augustus rearrange the defensive line. ”
"Your Royal Highness, why did you summon the knights back? The opposite side has obviously given up resistance, and with one more charge, we will be able to directly break up the opposing front! Hals asked, similarly puzzled.
"Hals, this is the other party's strategy, don't you understand?" Unlike Hals's puzzlement, Renard looked confident.
"Huh? Is this a ploy? Please ask His Royal Highness the Prince to answer your questions. ”
Renard chuckled twice, narrowed his eyes and slowly explained, "I wasn't sure before, but now I understand the other party's plan. This is still a ploy to lure the snake out of the hole. Ouranos is just showing weakness to the enemy, trying to trick us into taking the initiative to attack. I took a closer look at Ouranos' tactics since his debut. Almost most of it was defensive counter-attacks.
His Assis phalanx infantry, in particular, was unsurpassed in defense. But the disadvantage is just as obvious, that is, the extremely weak mobility leads to a lack of offensive power. Therefore, for Ouranos, if you can fight a defensive war, you will never fight an offensive war.
The first time he deliberately showed a flaw was to lead us to attack. This time too. And I'm sure he has more tricks up his sleeve ahead of us. “
"But the knights don't have a good explanation."
As soon as Hals finished speaking, he heard a loud noise in the middle of the formation, and it was not long before the voices were getting closer and closer, apparently approaching Renard.
"Hals went to stop them. Who dares to disobey and directly execute the military order! Renard snorted coldly, his face a little impatient.
Hals glanced at Renard's expression and nodded yes.
Hals knew it was Renard's intention to stand up. Because Prince Renard has been defending the western frontier of the kingdom against barbarians and dwarves and other highland aliens since George VI succeeded to the throne. Especially when John, George's right-hand man, was in power, he seized military control of Renard. This made Renard's prestige much less than before, and many knights and nobles in the kingdom no longer respected Renard as much as they once did.
Thinking of this, Hals suddenly shuddered, and a thought popped up in his heart, His Royal Highness would not deliberately let those knights make trouble, but take advantage of it. Could it be that this is the place where His Royal Highness the Prince has returned to politics from the new era? Hals kind of understood what he had to do.
"Report!"
Renard waved his hand, "Speak!" ”
"The Duke of Essis, Alan Ouranos, invites the Prince to come and talk."
Hehe, it's finally here. Good! Let's see what else you can do! Renard sneered and rolled over his horse. "Let's go meet that Duke of Ouranos!"
The sound of horses' hooves falling to the ground caused a slight tremor and some fine dust rolling.
The golden gilt armor is gorgeous. The delicate mask outlines a blurred facial features, which looks unusually majestic. The sharma under his crotch is tall and handsome, and his brownish-red mane flutters with undulations. His left hand seemed to be holding the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his right hand grasped the reins of the horse and let the horse slowly move forward with brisk steps, which seemed to be very relaxed.
It's a character! Alan sighed in his heart.
Renard, for his part, was also secretly observing Allen.
Dressed in simple but delicate silver full-body armor, without a helmet. His short black hair had just covered his eyes, fluttering gently in the breeze, making it impossible to see his eyes. He wasn't tall, but he was very tall. The face is very young, but it already has a majestic color.
Sure enough, a wise lord!
"Stop!"
At the sound of the order, the knights tightened the reins of their horses and slowly stopped. The two sides are six or seven meters apart. The two sides looked at each other, on guard.
The wind blew between the two groups, but it could not dissolve the air that was almost frozen.
Alan smiled slightly, and tapped his heel on the horse's belly. The horse understood and took a few steps forward.
Renard also broke away from the guard behind him and moved a few steps forward.
The two sides are separated by two horse heads. At this distance, you can clearly see the expression on the other party's face.
"Duke of the Kingdom of Ammusi, Master of the Duchy of Essis, Alan Ouranos has seen Your Excellency." Allen's right hand touched his left chest and bowed slightly.
"Prince of the Kingdom of Lorraine, Duke of Swan Castle, Renard Carter, I wish the Duke well." Renard lifted his mask and saluted back.
Alan looked at Renard's slightly gray hair, chuckled, leaned back slightly, and lifted his chin slightly. A little frivolous, and a little presumptuous, he said: "Isn't His Royal Highness the Prince still surrendering?" (To be continued.) )
