Section 162 Fighting
The Bavarian knights leaned forward as far as they could, driving their horses into the city, some might think it was a stupid strategy to let the cavalry fight in the narrow gates, but the Bavarians had their own military experience. The knights in heavy armor, relying on their own weight and impact, forcibly pushed into the middle of the enemy, and the moment the enemy panicked in the face of the knight, the knight could condescendingly slash the enemy, like the sharp claws of a lion tearing through the enemy's formation.
"Steady, steady." Count Ron was on horseback, and he looked through the peephole in his helmet's visor at the gate, which lay crookedly on the ground, and the open gate was like an old man's teeth.
"Earl, here they are." Earl Ron's knight of the Inner House pointed to the city gate and said to his lord who had sworn allegiance to him.
"Boom~~~, Gray Law ~~~." A sharp neighing of horses caught the eyes of the Mecklenburg soldiers as Bavarian knights, clad in battle armor and brightly colored robes, screaming and crashing into the city, like a herd of enraged bulls.
"Rush, rush, rush~~." The captain of the Bavarian Knights, with the golden spurs on his heels, desperately kicked the war horse under the crotch, and the white foam at the corner of the war horse's mouth splashed under the pain, and he neighed like crazy.
"Hmm, what is this?" The captain of the Bavarian knights was the first to rush into the city gates, and he rode on his warhorse, peeking through the cracks in his half-enclosed helmet to see the Mecklenburg soldiers at the gates.
These Mecklenburg soldiers crowded at the gates, their iron helmets on their heads, chain mail on their bodies, and extra-long spears in their hands, the soldiers in the first and second rows pointed their spears at the direction of the gate, and the pikemen in the back rows raised their spears as if they were a forest of spears.
"Mecklenburg pikemen. Guard~~. ”
"Hey~~~."
When the sergeant major of the pikemen company of the Mecklenburg regiment raised his sword in his hand and shouted loudly, and rushed out of the door with the sergeant's order, the Mecklenburg pikemen shouted very loudly, and they looked ahead and clenched their weapons. Although the Bavarian knights were fierce and brave. But it was the first time they had seen such a neat army, and the array of guns like a forest of guns seemed to be the call of death, but at this time they had no choice but to charge.
"Ping Pong Ping Pong ~~." A series of crackling sounds were the sound of the Bavarian knights breaking into the spear formation, the sharp spears hitting their armor, the knights' thick chain mail did protect their bodies, but the well-trained horses under the knight's crotch were frightened, and they instinctively neighed and raised their hooves. I want to dodge the stabbing spear.
The Bavarian knights in the first row were blocked by the spear array, and the Bavarian knights in the back were objectively blocked by their own partners, who roared anxiously and raised their swords, but the narrow gate restricted their movements, and the crossbowmen above them also beckoned to them for crossbows.
"Aggressive~~." The Bavarian knight hurriedly raised his shield, and the crossbow bolt struck the shield with an aggressive muffled sound.
"We're blocked here, what if our people can't get in?" A Bavarian knight managed to rush to the captain's side. He shouted at the captain.
"Let the horses rush out of a path." The captain of the knights, who was experienced in combat, immediately ordered loudly.
Then he kicked the horse hard in his crotch. The golden spur kicked the horse's abdomen to the blood, and at this time it didn't care about the life of the expensive horse, the horse went crazy under the stimulation of severe pain, desperately biting and trampling the Mecklenburg soldiers who were close to it, the spear head that pierced its body was broken, and the broken spear head hung on the woolen cloth covering the horse.
"Grazi~~~." Under the leadership of the Captain of the Knights. The other Bavarian knights have done the same, the war horse is a big livestock, once it starts to go crazy, it really makes the Mecklenburg soldiers unbearable, and the spear array is under the impact of the Bavarian knights. It gradually became concave.
"Don't retreat, don't run away, those who run away will be killed~~." Seeing that the Mecklenburg pikemen in front of them had timid people trying to avoid the furious horses of the knights, the sergeant major and veterans of the company began to scold and scold. Because usually the soldiers in the first row of the Mecklenburg Regiment are recruits, and the second row is veterans with certain combat experience, and they are pushed back in turn, so the people in the back row have the right to supervise the soldiers in front, and the third row is the most elite soldiers, just like the people in front of them are scattered, they are the backbone of the new formation.
"Lord Duke, our knights are engaged at the city gates." The military governor of the Duke of Bavaria glanced in the direction of the city gate, and after a herald reported to him, he reported to the Duke of Bavaria.
"Have you routed the enemy?" The Duke of Bavaria listened to the sound of the battle in the direction of the city gate, and had a sense of foreboding, the sound of the battle was too fierce, but he felt a little uncomfortable, in his military career, it was usually the case that when the city gate was breached, the morale of the city defenders would be greatly reduced. At this time, a single charge by an elite knight would break the defenders, and it was rare for a battle at the gates to be so fierce.
"No, the enemy resisted stubbornly." The military governor licked his lips, he didn't expect the Mecklenburgers to be so capable of fighting, so his expression was a little hesitant.
"What's going on? Do you have anything to say? The Duke of Bavaria glanced at his military governor and urged him to speak his mind.
"Lord Duke, I think we should settle this dispute through negotiations." The military governor plucked up his courage and said to the Duke of Bavaria.
"Negotiations? Right now? The Duke of Bavaria said angrily.
"That's right, we have no conflict of interest with the Mecklenburgers, it's because they misunderstood that Duke Mason was missing, and the responsibility was ours, and it was not worth it to kill and wound a soldier for such a reason." In accordance with the medieval tradition, the military governor gave his advice to the Duke of Bavaria.
"Hmph, I don't think the Mecklenburgers are a good person." The Duke of Bavaria frowned, he touched his gray beard, and cursed the military governor in his heart, the worst thing is that the disappearance of Duke Mason was really planned by him, but how could he make it public.
"Lord Duke?" The military governor asked.
"These people are invaders, and if anyone can encroach on my castle with impunity, then the world will say that the Duke of Bavaria is a soft egg, and then countless invaders will come." The Duke of Bavaria waved his hand fiercely, he frowned and did not allow his courtiers to speak, but looked intently at the direction of the battle, only to see the Bavarian soldiers attacking the city from the city, like ducks diving into the water, constantly falling from the city.
"Ah~~~."
"Oh oh oh~~." With the miserable and sharp voice of the Bavarian soldiers, as well as the sound of falling ping-pong pong, the Mecklenburg swordsmen on the city wall let out a cheering sound, the snow-bright big sword faintly appeared from between the battlements, the Bavarian soldiers under the city wall looked up with pale faces, and the Mecklenburg crossbowmen in the arrow tower kept bending down to pull the string, putting the crossbow arrows in, and then aiming at the wandering Bavarian soldiers to shoot, each crossbow arrow was like the scythe of death, harvesting a fresh life.
"Order, noble swordsmen to attack, be sure to take the city gate before dark." The Duke of Bavaria could no longer hold his breath, he clenched his fists and ordered loudly.
"Yes, Lord Duke." The military governor nodded hurriedly.
"You, lead the team personally." The Duke of Bavaria looked at the military governor with a sharp gaze, pointed at him with his hand, and said to the military governor.
"Yes, Lord Duke." The military governor's heart trembled, but he bowed to the duke to accept the order, he pressed his helmet, held his left hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, turned and strode towards the battlefield.
"Gentlemen, move forward~~." The military governor came to the noble swordsmen, drew his saber, and commanded loudly, the cloak behind him fluttering in the breeze.
"Ping Pong Ping Pong ~~~." Dressed in medium-sized armor, armed with pointed shields and sharp swords, the low-ranking Bavarian nobles walked in three formations towards the city gates, small landowners from the Duchy of Bavaria, eager to make a mark on the battlefield and gain the favor of the duke, in order to improve the social status of their families and to be rewarded by the great nobles.
