In the town of White, houses that have been destroyed by catapults are on all sides. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Durant stepped onto the White Prairie horse and assembled the 1st Company of the White Town Custer Light Cavalry in the open space outside the lord's longhouse.

More than 100 cavalry light cavalry dressed in light leather armor, with round shields and recurve war bows on their backs, holding the hook spears used by the Custer people, looked at Durant, the captain of the Karst guard, on the war horse, with a very solemn expression.

"Fellow Casters, steppe warriors of Whitetown, we will launch a surprise attack on the siege forces of the tyrant of Segal Saxon. On the stone walls of our north, countless brothers are being harmed by enemy firearms. And those annoying tower-mounted powerful stone throwers are destroying our defenses with impunity! Durant was sweating profusely, and his chainmail coat of arms was still stained with blood, but his voice was loud, and he was even more resentful in his shouts, "The enemy tortured the brave Hornlow in front of us, and although we have nothing to do with the tower trebuchets in their camp, before their camp, those wanton king's firearms will be mercilessly punished by our first company of Custer patrol light cavalry!" ”

After speaking, Durant lifted the hook spear, and his calloused thick hand pulled the reins tightly, and even the White Prairie horse under his crotch began to become agitated, and in the middle of the low hum, his nostrils spewed out one mist and white smoke after another, constantly sweeping its ponytail.

"We can't wait to stab our hook spear at the intruder!" The Custer patrol hussars raised their arms and shouted, and at the same time raised their hook spears high, like a forest of spears suddenly rising from the open space outside the gate of the lord's longhouse, "Revenge!" ”

In the excitement, Durant led the team to attack.

Earl Anderson silently prayed for Durant and the Caster patrol hussars, in his eyes, Durant rarely used his brain in everything, and he seemed very reckless. This time, he agreed to let Durant lead the team to take the initiative to attack, he was very aware of the current battle situation and situation, and he also understood that such a decision was undoubtedly not to hand over the lives of all the soldiers of the first company of the entire Custer patrol light cavalry to this reckless personal guard captain. But he also knew that he had to take a risk now, that the demoralized defenders needed a heroic example, and that Durant's recklessness would certainly inspire the defenders, and he needed that recklessness now.

Even if he appreciated composure more, he tried to make the captain of the guard calm.

As it turned out, Durant also became a little more stable under the influence of Earl Henson, although his impulsive heart was sprinkled with hatred for the tyrant Segal Saxon, but after all, he had seen the power of the secret firearms of the King's Army. Therefore, he did not choose to rush out of the north gate directly, but asked Custer's personal guards to open the west gate of White Town, and led more than 100 Caster light cavalry of the first company to rush north of White Town after leaving the city by the edge of the stone wall.

Although the open steppe was conducive to the rush and rapid advance of the light cavalry, the open view also had a significant drawback: there was no cover at all to cover the vulnerable light cavalry itself.

In a short moment, more than 200 Kolo mercenaries poured out of the door of the king's army that opened the hole, these tiger-wolf mercenaries were strong, the Kolo mercenaries in the front row carried long-handled swords and halberds, and the mercenaries in the back row carried huge shields and crossbows.

In the face of the more than 100 Caster cavalry who were about to clash, these masked Sunset Island guards still calmly operated the organ cannon, but pulled the hook knife from their waists out of their scabbards, as if they were ready to compete with these Caster light cavalry who were also weak in armor.

This is the Wallace guard of Sunset Island, with a very different performance and reaction than the fragile light infantry who manipulate the war machinery on the battlefield.

Durant saw the reaction of the Kings' army clearly.

If the light cavalry who wanted to surprise in the detour continued to kill the group of mercenaries arranged in the shape of a crescent moon as previously decided, they would inevitably collide head-on with the enemy and suffer heavy losses.

The choice is clearly laid out in front of Durant. Durant realized the responsibilities of being a general, and learned what Earl Henson said to him: "If you are the leader of the army, before you have to make a choice between attacking and retreating, your general has come up with a suggestion to advance or retreat and finally throws the problem to you." You're going to have to sit back and wait. ”

Even if the situation changed slightly from Count Hengerson's words, the soldiers did not throw the problem at him, but he himself was faced with three choices: take the risk of killing; or immediately retreat; Or continue to attack, but change the direction of the attack.

The urgency of the moment, the hurried horses' hooves, the whirring wind, the shouts of the hussars, the approaching halberds and the bows and arrows of the mercenaries to be released.

"Please come here, if you can't achieve your goal, you will never retreat!" A shout erupted in Durant's heart, and with the deafening sound of horses' hooves, he leaned south and pointed his hook spear, shouting wildly: "Bypass the halberd sword and arrow array, and use our speed to detour!" Captain, you outflank from the other side. ”

"But it's too close to the King's camp!" The captain of the 1st Company of the Caster Patrol Light Cavalry looked at the wall of the king's camp, and the archers in it had already raised their heads and drew their bows.

"Execute the order! Mission accomplished! Durant roared, his legs clamped between the horse's belly, and the prairie horse under his crotch was like an arrow from the string, showing a beautiful shadow blown by the wind on the meadow.

"Yes!" Custer patrol light horse, following Durant's guidance, divided into dozens of horsemen of two rapid rushing force, one followed closely behind Durant, the muzzle of the organ pipe cannon of the Wang coalition army was facing the direction of Durant and his Custer patrol light horse, when the muzzle was swept in the direction of the gun, those sparks that couldn't wait to bloom from the muzzle were like a light of death, a very fast prairie horse was shot and rolled over, the soldier fell from his horse, and sang a sad song on the meadow of White Town. The other was like a rainbow, turning straight to the north, and they braved the rain of arrows fired from the king's camp above their heads, rushing forward at a very fast speed to the edge of the walled wall where the camp was weakly shot, and then immediately rushed east, regardless of the battle damage, Durant and the leader of the first company formed two hunting forces in the northeast and southeast of the organ cannons, and they suddenly turned around and charged at the organ cannon Sunset Island guards who operated heavy firearms.

Although the Korlo mercenary's halberd knife and arrow array could suppress the frontal charge and pose a huge threat to the frontal charging enemy, Durant's move, regardless of casualties, made them suddenly confused. The detours of the fast-moving Caster patrol light cavalry made them not know which direction to defend from, and in the midst of hesitation, the shield-raising crossbowmen who had not yet finished the formation were completely exposed to the hook spears and sabers of the charging Caster patrol light cavalry.

"Shoot back! Back! The giant shield mercenary crossbowman finished loading in a hurry, he raised his crossbow and tried to shoot, but the scene in front of him made him not know how to shoot for a while, his eyes were full of rapidly churning prairie horses' hooves and mud under their hooves, and a terrifying hook spear shook above his head, and before he could shoot, he could only hear a roar from Durant, and the tip of the hook spear penetrated into his chest.

Durant swung his hook spear and smashed into the Sunset Island guards protected by the Kolo mercenaries, and between the handles and spears, he immediately stabbed several Kolo mercenaries, and then the Custer patrol light cavalry that followed was even more crushed against these Kolo mercenaries who were fighting on foot.

Dull collisions, horses burst in, and the sound of artillery stopped.

"Stop them from getting close to the organ cannon!" The mercenaries shouted one after another, and they went their separate ways.

The thin long swords drawn by the crossbowmen were not at all the long-handled weapons of the light cavalry, and the cavalrymen stabbed their spears in their hands, and the fragile crossbowmen were stabbed one by one by the hook spears, and blood flowed all over the ground.

The halberd knife hooked the spear, and immediately picked the horse down. Even from time to time there were light cavalry slashed steppe horses by halberds.

The crisp clashing of blades replaced the dull sound of strings in the camp.

"Sunset Island Guards! Loyal to Your Majesty! "The cavalry from the two wings of the slanted foot rushed forward, causing the Kolo mercenaries to be in a big mess, and the masked guards of Sunset Island, who had calmly shelled the stone wall of White Town, drew their swords viciously, although they were only infantry in light leather armor, but the flexible hooking knife skills made the Custer light cavalry who broke into the formation have to re-examine these masked infantry that could have been ignored.

The agile body and strange hook knife technique of the guards on Sunset Island made the Custer patrol light cavalry in the melee unable to adapt for a while, and they decisively rolled under the horses of the Custer patrol light cavalry, avoiding the hook spear that stabbed them, and at the same time wielding the hook knife to cut off the horse's legs, so that one by one the Custer patrol light cavalry fell off their horses at the moment when they lost their guard during the attack.

Thanks to the coordination of Sunset Island's personal guards, the morale of these Kolo mercenaries, who were on the verge of collapse, was reinvigorated, and a long battle began with the Custer patrol light cavalry who broke into the formation.

In front of Durant's eyes, the halberd knife was swinging.

The Kolo mercenaries, who were supposed to be defeated, did not retreat, but gathered more and more, but the Custer patrol light cavalry led by himself continued to be cut off by halberds.

He swung his hook spear, drew a light of the lonely moon, lined up the halberd that had been chopped in, pulled the reins of the horse, and turned the horse's head.

He knew that if he continued like this, the light cavalry that had lost their speed would be at an absolute disadvantage under the cooperation of these long-handled halberd knives and Sunset Island personal guard hook knives, and he had to decisively give up some of the light cavalry in the struggle, although doing so was tantamount to letting them lose their lives in vain, but for the sake of the overall success or failure, he had to give a painful order: "Withdraw with me, prepare to charge again!" ”

As soon as the order was issued, most of the light cavalry stopped attacking, and only those who could not escape did their best to cover the evacuation of the surviving light cavalry, but in the face of the sudden and sharp increase in the frequency of mercenary slashing, these Custer patrol light cavalry who could not evacuate the melee were suddenly confused. In just an instant, it was chopped into meat sauce by people and horses.

Seeing the light cavalry retreating, the Sunset Island guards did not pursue, but quickly put their swords into their sheaths, took out a short hand cannon from the belt on their waists, and raised their hands to aim at the backs of the retreating light cavalry one by one after a little reloading.

Durant is in a race against time, but time is always ahead of schedule.

Behind him, there was a sudden thrilling rumble of a hand cannon; In front of him, several Caster light cavalry fell off their horses, leaving only the frightened galloping mounts.

"Bang!" This cannon sound made Durant remember it deeply, only to feel a hot and sharp pain suddenly spread from behind him to his left abdomen, and he grabbed the reins and clamped the horse's abdomen.

"Turn your head, go around, take your bow!" Durant gritted his teeth fiercely, hunched on horseback and hung his hook spear at his feet with the dozens of remaining Caster light cavalry around him, and then took out the recurve war bow from his back with his backhand and twisted the bow and arrow.

On the galloping steppe horses, a Castel patrol light cavalry drew their bows sideways, the Sunset Island guards who had finished firing a round of hand cannons were still loading, and the remnants of the crossbowmen with huge shields on their backs ran forward, turning their backs to the light cavalry and wringing their crossbows.

"Unleash all the arrows at the masked! Throw our anger at them. Durant's left abdomen was bleeding profusely, but he still gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, drew the recurve warbow, looked at the masked man in the distance wearing only leather armor, and gave the arrow as a gift to these men who were very threatening to his cavalry.

There was a bang, and arrows flew indiscriminately.

Many of the Sunset Island guards in the loading were knocked over by the sudden random arrows. When they came to their senses, the fast-paced Durant and the Caster guards circled their flanks once more.

"All of you take out your melee weapons! This is our final charge! The enemy will fall under the hook spear! Let the furious hooves crush their souls! Durant threw the recurve feats to the ground and leaned sideways to lift the hook spear hanging at his feet again. The Sunset Island guards finally became panicked, and the roar of the Caster hussars made their hearts tremble. They had thought that the light cavalry had been defeated, and they had never imagined that they would still have the strength to charge at them despite such heavy battle losses.

Escorted by the accompanying knights, Segal II climbed the watchtower on the camp and watched the battle situation in front of him at a glance, he was secretly surprised by Durant's choice of strategy and this sudden impact, and almost stomped his feet in a hurry, "These guys are really dead!" ”

"Your Majesty, they're just playing with their lives! Do you need to send troops to support? Spiket was secretly happy, especially when the masked Sunset Island guards were shot into hedgehogs by the Custer patrol hussars.

"Support mercenaries, didn't you see that my Sunset Island guards are all dead, what's the use of supporting these guys, these stupid guys should all go to see Arcana! Oh, you mean my organ cannon you will handle? That's great, want me to send you out on horseback and lick the butts of these rebels in front of the organ cannon? Segal II was almost annoyed, "These mercenaries are really unreliable! ”

"Because the Fol Onnister of the Chloe Mercenary Regiment is already preparing to slip away. You see, that guy is slowly fleeing towards our camp under the protection of a few mercenaries. Spitter said sourly.

"It seems that you are very interested in this guy who has lost his honor over and over again, so I will give him to you to dispose of. However, destroying my secret firearms on Sunset Island, these cavalrymen can't go back alive! Tell the archers in the camp to draw their bows and prepare! Aim for the area where the organ cannon is! Segal II raised an eyebrow.

"But Your Majesty," one of the knights tried to stop Segal II's actions, "and there are our men ahead. There are also a few of Sunset Island's guards who are still alive. ”

"But the dead won't ask for money or food, and they won't ask me to send another group of people to send them back to Sunset Island." Segal II's face was very ugly, so that the noble knight who accompanied him immediately shut his mouth, "Give me arrows!" Shoot the arrows! Send them back to their hometown together. ”

Under the overlay helmet, the corners of Spichett's mouth rose slightly.
