Section 79: The hero is sad about the beauty pass
Suddenly hearing the neighing of war horses, Arold instinctively turned his head to look into the alley, from the darkness with his back to the moonlight, a warrior on a war horse was rushing over, only to hear the neighing of the war horse's hooves soar into the air, and actually jumped out of the narrow alley, and the knight guarding Arold's side was knocked aside before he could draw his sword.
"Arrod, go die~~~." Kang Tuoyi held the sword in his hand high, and slashed at Arold in front of him with the majesty of the war horse landing, his sword blade was so sharp and accurate, if he was slashed by the sword, he would not die and be seriously injured.
"Ah~~~." From the war horse jumping out to Kang Tuoyi's sword slashing at himself, this qiē happened extremely quickly, Arold let out a loud cry under this sudden attack, he instinctively wanted to pull out his sword, but there was no time to draw the sword, just at this moment, Arold actually had a flash of inspiration, and snatched the flag in the hand of the frightened personal attendant beside him, and put the flagpole in front of him.
"Smack~~~." The sword cut off the flagpole, the flagpole of Arold's flag was made of tough cedar wood, and the sword blade cut the flagpole and slashed down along Arold's chest armor, if it wasn't for the flagpole blocking this sword, the sword blade would definitely cut directly at Arold's body, but the force of the sword split made Arold fall to the ground on one knee.
"Gray Law ~~~." Unable to strike, Kang Tuoyi controlled the war horse under his crotch to stand up, and wanted to use the powerful two front hooves of the war horse to put it on Arode's head, if Kang Tuoyi succeeded, Arod would definitely die, because when he walked out of the house, his helmet was held in the hands of the attendants.
"Lord Earl~~." Baron Ron had already reacted by this time, grabbing Arrod's collar and dragging him to the ground, dragging him backwards for some distance, barely avoiding the horse's hooves.
"Protect Lord Count." The knights of the inner palace stepped forward one after another to stab Kang Tuoyi with the swords in their hands, and the squire group not far away also rode horses, hearing the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of boiling people, Kang Tuoyi knew that he had missed the best opportunity to assassinate Arrod.
"Gotta get ~~~." Kang Tuoyi turned his horse's head and led Lady Angelia to the other side. Anyway, his goal was to escape from Watergast with Lady Angelia, and the assassination of Arold was also improvised.
"Are you alright, Lord Count?" Wearing a crooked helmet, Oswid of the squire came to Arold's side on horseback, and he and his brethren were guarding a street junction facing the inner city, closest to the trader's post where Arold was stationed.
"I'm fine, go after Kang Tuoyi, I can't let him run. And by the way, ordered the troops guarding the gates to block the gates. Arrod was helped up by Baron Ron, and he immediately reacted that Kang Tuoyi was preparing to break through and escape, so he ordered Osvid who passed by.
"Yes, Lord Count." Osveld hurriedly kicked the horse with the spur on his heel, leading the cavalry of the squire regiment in hot pursuit.
The sky gradually began to become clearer, and in the chaos and darkness the cavalry of Watergast still barely had the upper hand, but when the sky turned white, Mecklenburg's army regained its formation and stability, and the recruits learned how to deal with the enemy's night attack, and under the leadership of the old German mercenaries, they began to attack the scattered Slavic cavalry with squad leaders spearmen as the lead.
"Who's setting the fire?" Surrounded by the knights of the Inner Palace, Arold saw smoke rising from the castle. He was astonished, and if the enemy had set fire to the castle, he was afraid that Arold would have to withdraw his army by such a method.
"Don't worry, Lord Earl, it's the Reaper mercenaries who accidentally set fire to a forage storehouse while looting the civilian quarters in the castle, but we've sent someone to contain the fire." Yves reported to Arrod that he had given command to the other Teutonic knights when the situation had stabilized.
Kang Tuoyi carried Lady Angelia around the alley to avoid the pursuers behind him, but the cavalry of the squire regiment behind him chased after him like maggots on tarsal bones, led by a young cavalryman. With a shout in her mouth, she brandished her saber several times and almost slashed Kang Tuoyi in the gallop, causing Lady Angelia to let out a panicked scream.
"Whew. Don't worry, we're at the gates, so make sure you get out. Kang Tuoyi gritted his teeth, after a night of fighting and galloping, he felt that the shirt inside his armor had been soaked with sweat, and the war horse under his crotch was also spewing white gas. Fine beads of sweat oozed from his body.
"Don't let them escape." Kang Tuoyi saw a group of Mecklenburg pikemen at the gate of the city in two teams, and they staggered the spears in their hands at Kang Tuoyi, and the war horse under Kang Tuoyi's crotch saw the spear stretched out and stopped sideways in panic, and the gray law kept screaming.
"Whew, that's terrible." Kang Tuoyi tightened the reins of the war horse under his crotch. He looked at the cavalrymen of the squire regiment who were approaching from a distance, and jumped off his horse with a heartbeat.
"What are you going to do?" Suddenly seeing Kang Tuoyi jumping off the horse, Angelia's face changed dramatically and she panicked.
"Right behind me." Kang Tuoyi clenched his sword, he said loudly to Mrs. Angelia, and he rushed towards the spear soldier with his sword without his head, his sharp sword cut off the tip of a spear that stretched out in front of him, turned around and slashed the soldier's body from below, and then slammed the slashed soldier with his shoulder, and the impact made the soldier's body crash into the others like a sack, and suddenly the strict spear team became chaotic, this kind of thing can only be done by the best swordsmen.
"Shh~~~." Taking advantage of the confusion, Kang Tuoyi blew a shrill whistle, and his well-trained horse instinctively charged at the whistle, carrying Lady Angelia through the soldiers blocking the city gates, and running all the way to the outside of the castle.
"Kang Tuoyi~~~~." Mrs. Angelia hugged the neck of the war horse with a bloodless face, she turned her head to see Kang Tuoyi who was caught in the middle of the Mecklenburg soldiers, and Kang Tuoyi's face showed a smile of relief, with the arrival of the cavalry of the squire regiment, he could only see the figure of the surging Mecklenburg soldiers, Kang Tuoyi seemed to have fallen into the sea and disappeared again.
"Lord Count, all the Slavic cavalry that came out of the inner city in the darkness of the night have been wiped out, and sixty-five of our men have been killed and wounded in the attack." Colonel Andrew reports to Arrode.
"Not much loss, good. This should be an experience for our soldiers to train for night combat. Arold sat in the merchant's house, where the merchant had fled at the beginning of the war, leaving only two servants to look after the property.
"I heard that Kang Tuoyi attacked you in the night, are you okay, Lord Earl?" Andrew looked at Arrod who was sitting there and said with some concern, he heard Baron Ron talk about what happened during the night, and even if he heard Baron Ron relay it, he felt that the period was extremely dangerous. If Arold had been assassinated, they would have lost the battle.
"Nothing, Kang Tuoyi is definitely not here to assassinate me." Arold waved his hand at Andrew, Kang Tuoyi's sword left a mark on his chain mail, and even a few iron rings were cut off, a qiē can only be described as good luck.
"Why are you so sure?" Andrew asked curiously, seeing the scene in front of him, everyone would think that Kang Tuoyi had carefully planned this night attack in order to lift the siege, the purpose was to get rid of the Germanic Count Arrod of Mecklenburg, and there was no faster way to achieve victory in all wars than to get rid of the leader of the enemy.
"If you want to kill me. Will he take a woman with him exclusively? Arold smiled and shook his head, and glanced back at Billis, who was huddled in the corner, at this time, the former lord of Watergast drooled drooling to his chest, his eyes looked blankly at the ground under his feet, and he looked drowsy, Arold seemed to have guessed who the woman Kang Tuoyi was carrying, he really didn't expect that a woman would make the two brothers so disregardful, which couldn't help but make Arold have a trace of curiosity.
"Good news, Lord Earl. Kang Tuoyi was captured alive by us. Just then, a member of the squire came out of the house on horseback. Before he had even jumped off his horse, he began to shout excitedly, and at his words, everyone turned their heads with joy, and the capture of the leader of the enemy meant that they had won the battle.
"Where are the people?" Even Arold couldn't calm down at this time, he stood up and strode outside the house, and asked the cavalryman in charge of the order.
"They're coming right away, oh. They're coming. The soldier pointed behind him, and saw Osveld triumphantly leading the soldiers towards the house, and behind Osveld's horse was a rope tied to the stripped of his armor, the Slavic hero was covered in wounds, his face was still covered with footprints, and his nose was swollen. It appears that he was severely beaten after the weapons were confiscated.
"Ha, Kontoyi, the hero of the Slavs." Arold looked at the wolf bèi unbearable Kang Tuoyi and said in his heart that it was good, after getting rid of Kang Tuoyi, he would own most of the land of the Great Emirate of Mecklenburg, and his fame and status would surpass Duke Mason to become the great lord of the Baltic Sea coast.
"Uh-huh." Kang Tuoyi was brought to Arrod, and he struggled to open his left eye, both of which were swollen like peaches.
"Get on your knees." Seeing Kang Tuoyi's rude appearance, the Mecklenburg soldiers angrily raised their spears in their hands and struck him in the leg, causing him to kneel in front of Arrod.
"Oswald, you've done a good job, and you'll be rewarded twice according to the military merit system." Arold praised Osveld for capturing the leader of the enemy, and Osveld excitedly took off his hat and bowed to Aurod.
"Call Lady Marty and the others, Kang Tuoyi, are you willing to let the Slavs in the inner city surrender?" Arold looked at Kang Tuoyi who was kneeling in front of him, he didn't want to abuse this Slavic hero, on the contrary, Arold respected this opponent very much, if it wasn't for Arold to penetrate this era, Kang Tuoyi would definitely become the ruler of the Great Emirate of Mecklenburg.
"Arrod, the Slavs will not choose to surrender, we will fight to the death every inch of land." Kang Tuoyi knelt on the ground and laughed, he was already bent on dying at this time, anyway, Kang Tuoyi's favorite woman, Mrs. Angelia, had been sent away.
"Really? I know that, but I think your brother will disagree with you. Arold beckoned to the house, and the two knights of the Inner House carried Bilis out, although Biliss looked very haggard, but Kang Tuoyi looked very surprised.
"Billis? What did you do to him. Kang Tuoyi immediately saw that something was wrong with Billis, and he tried to stand up, but was crushed by the Mecklenburg soldiers on the shoulder.
"Lord Biliss has been seriously ill by your pursuit, and the doctors of Mecklenburg have been trying hard to treat him, what a pity, it is a human tragedy to watch brothers kill each other, maybe it is infected by your cruel gods and culture, tsk." Arrud shook his head and said, and watched Kang Tuoyi's expression change, hoping to find a look of fear and fear on his face, but unfortunately Kang Tuoyi quickly calmed down.
"Hahaha, since our brother is in your hands, there is nothing more to say, the inner city is guarded by troops loyal to me, and they will not surrender to you." Kang Tuoyi twisted his neck, and no longer looked at Billis and Arrod in front of him, looking like he was at the mercy of it.
"Hu~~~." Arrod's eyes narrowed, he really wanted to try the torture he knew in his mind on Kang Tuoyi's body, but he also knew that now was not the time to be rash, and his concern for the safety of Mecklenburg and Princess Josie made him feel troubled, and he really wanted to see some blood before he would give up.
"Lord Earl, a woman has been caught on horseback by our patrolling soldiers." When Arrod was at a loss, Andrew squeezed through the crowd and came to Arold's side and said.
"Woo~~." Listening to Andrew's words, Kang Tuoyi's expression changed, and he twisted the rope tied to his body, if it wasn't for a few Mecklenburg soldiers catching him, I'm afraid he would have jumped up.
"Oh?" Arod glanced at Kang Tuoyi meaningfully, Kang Tuoyi's expression changed in his eyes, thinking of the woman Kang Tuoyi was holding in his arms, he immediately understood, it was really a hero and a sad beauty.
"Order the soldiers to bring the woman over and not hurt her." Arold commanded Andrew.
"Yes, Lord Count." Andrew immediately turned around and walked out, and after a short time several soldiers came over with a Slavic noblewoman, who was still wearing the armor of an ordinary soldier and had some mud sticking to her face, but even this could not hide her proud figure and beautiful face.
