Section 257: Knights and Viking Warriors (2nd Watch)

Looking at the approaching Viking warriors, the soldiers in the Count of Prauern's position were a little shaken, and the terrible legends of the Viking warriors echoed in their minds at this time, and the close look of those Viking warriors' beards and blonde hair were entangled, each with a hideous face on their faces, the sharp blade of the battle axe in their hands, and the arrows shot by the damned archers did not hit the Viking warriors, which made many of the soldiers of the Count of Praun flinch.

"Count, the soldiers are afraid." The general of the Count of Praun noticed the vacillation of his own soldiers, and immediately pointed this point out to the Count of Praun, it is often this invisible and untouchable morale that can influence the situation of battle on the battlefield, and the morale of every soldier is so important, one warrior can inspire the courage of his companions around him, ten warriors can control the battlefield, and the same cowards will do.

"General, tell the soldiers that if they want their families to remain on my land, do not retreat cowardly, for the deserter will not only be severely punished, but his family will also be driven out of Plauunshire." The Earl of Praun said angrily that the young Earl hated this cowardly behavior, and these conscripts were peasants and commoners from the Earl's domain, most of whom were peasants who had been bound to the land for generations, and if they lost their land, they would become beggars wandering in the towns.

"Yes, Lord Count." The general of the Earl of Praun immediately grabbed the reins and kicked the mount with the spur on his foot, and was about to go forward to convey the Count's order, but was attacked by Will. Sir Adolphus stopped.

"I have another idea, Lord Earl. It was possible to boost the morale of the peasants without threatening them. "Will. Sir Adolphus said to the Earl in a loud voice on his horse, he was the knight of the Inner Mansion of the Earl of Praun, and he was also a noble knight of the more famous among the knights of the Inner Palace, and the Earl of Praun had to listen to his Jianyì.

"Say it, Will. Sir Adolphus. "Jean Will, Earl of Praun. Sir Adolph went on saying that he had to give face to the noble knights.

"Let me lead the knights in a charge." Will. Adolf raised his right hand and pointed in the direction the Viking warrior was approaching, and said in a sonorous voice.

"What, don't you know the Duke's orders? We have to stick to it, not take the initiative. The general of the Count of Praun was taken aback. He didn't think of Will. Sir Adolf would have proposed such a proposal. This was built in complete disobedience to the orders of the Duke of Ebel.

"It's just a charge from the knights, it's not a problem at all, and if we stay here, the Vikings will think we're weak. They're going to swarm in our direction like ants. "Will. Sir Adolf also made a solid inference. This made Count Praun frown. I thought to myself that maybe this was a test move by the Vikings, to test the weak link in the Duchy of Mason's army, if they were to be regarded as this weak link. Then there is a good chance that the Viking warriors will attack themselves with all their might.

"But Lord Earl~~." The general tried to advise Count Praun again, but Count Praun had already made up his mind, and he raised his right hand to stop the general's advance.

"Sir Will, I order you to lead twenty knights in a charge, to hold back the Vikings' attack, and preferably force them to turn." Count Praun's words concealed a lot of information, and he knew that even the heavily armored knights would not be able to defeat four hundred heavy infantry, but they could let the Viking warriors know that this place was not so easy to attack, and it was better to change directions.

"Yes, Lord Count." Will. Sir Adolphus rode on his horse and nodded, his heavy helmet clanged, he kicked his horse under his crotch, and the horse neighed and left the earl according to his master's will, and he raised his spear with the banner in his hand, and summoned twenty knights to his side, but do not think that they were only twenty knights, in fact in addition to the twenty heavy knights, each of them had two or three sword-wielding squires, and these squires also rode horses, Even if these horses were just ordinary horses and not knightly horses, they were enough to become medium-sized cavalrymen, not to mention that these squires were trained as the successors of knights.

The knights of the Count of Praun gathered at Will by order. Around Sir Adolphus, the other vassals of Duke Mason did not know the Earl of Praun's intentions at this time, and in the process of mobilizing the knights, the Viking warriors advanced another hundred yards, and the blocking of bows and arrows did not have any effect at all.

"Huhu~~~." Will. Sir Adolph's bottled helmet, because of the breath of a layer of tiny droplets, his eyes through the bottle helmet peephole looking ahead, the knights of the Earl of Praun tightened the reins of the horses under their crotches, these horses all jumped like thunder, the aggressive nature of the knights made the knights have to do their best to restrain the horses, but even so close to the horses will bite each other, leaving blood marks on the bodies of the horses on both sides.

"Ash Ash ~~~." After the knights, there are their squire cavalry with swords or spears, these squire cavalry play the role of covering the knights, of course, the squire cavalry is still very terrible in the charge, this cavalry unit is arranged in a triangular formation, that is, a wedge formation, this formation can break through the enemy's battle formation to the greatest extent.

"Knights, move forward ~~~." Will. Sir Adolf raised his spear with the banner in his hand, and as the bravest knight of all, he had volunteered to be at the top of the wedge, and he turned and shouted at the knights behind him.

"Boom~~~, bell, bell~~~~." The knights kicked their horses, and the iron hooves of the horses stepped on the ground, and slowly began to move in the direction of the Viking warriors, and the knights rubbed their shoulders against the armor and made a metallic sound, which quickly attracted the attention of the Viking warriors.

"Shield wall, shield wall~~~." Krazer raised the battle axe in his hand, so that the other Viking warriors gathered around him, the Viking knight's shield wall is to rely on the dense strength of people to resist the enemy's attack, soon the skilled Viking warriors raised their shields and gathered around Kreze, the first row of Viking warriors raised their shields, the second row of Viking warriors put their shields against the back of the Viking warriors in front, when the Viking warriors set up the formation of the shield wall, the figure of the knight of Count Praun can already be seen.
