Verse 15 was caught off guard
When the war drums beat again, except for Billis, who barely walked out of the tent, the other soldiers did not even have the strength to raise a finger, but the hateful Germanic people kept beating the drum but never attacked, the Slavs seemed to have mastered their laws, so they endured the noise in their ears, and did not even want to spread blankets and straw on the ground, and fell asleep, and the nobles could not bear it anymore and returned to their tents to rest, and the Ward warriors were the personal guards of Bilis, They had to wear heavy armor to follow him, but these elite soldiers also held up to the limit, and from time to time some people opened their mouths wide and yawned.
The sky gradually turned pale from pitch black, and when the first sun appeared on the top of the mountain, it finally drove away the darkness and brought light to the whole land, and the bonfires were dying and curling green smoke rose, and the soldiers of Bilisi leaned against each other, wrapped in cold armor and thin clothes, and lay in the camp, and at this moment a slight trembling sound sounded on the ground, but the Slavs were so tired that many of them did not notice any rumbling sound.
"Chief Chief, what is that?" One of the Ward warriors standing beside Bilis, while napping, hit his helmet against his companion's battle axe, causing him to open his eyes violently, and what appeared before his eyes was a scene that surprised him, Arrod's army was already approaching their camp in full formation, and it seemed that it was almost dawn, but at that time it was also the darkest hour, how they managed to line up in order, and no soldiers fled.
"Ahh Bilis was woken up by the sound of the Ward Warrior, and he sat on an empty wooden barrel that a soldier had moved. The night's sleepless spell made him particularly physically and mentally exhausted, and when he saw clearly that outside his camp was a phalanx of spears in the center, protected by knights with heavy armor and horses and pistols on both wings, followed by the Wellers in a loose formation, and the sudden appearance of the army in his eyes made him stand up sharply.
"Prepare for war, prepare for war, the enemy is coming." At this time, the soldiers of Bilisi also reacted, and they ran around the camp like flies without heads, and the generals of the army were also at a loss.
"Brush ~~~~." Suddenly, a rain of arrows fell from the sky, and without warning they fell on the heads of the chaotic Slavs. Many were shot by arrows and flipped to the ground. Or maybe they kicked over the barrels and the pots of hot water on the campfires in order to escape, and suddenly the camp in Bilis was even more chaotic.
"Volley ~~~ Ready, put." Ron wears chain mail and a pointed iron helmet. He acted as the commander of the crossbow team on foot. When he raised the saber in his hand. The three columns of crossbowmen kicked their crossbows, mounted their bolts, and slanted diagonally over the camp in Palisi. At Ron's command, the crossbowmen pulled the brackets, and the bolts shot into the air like locusts.
"Chief be careful." The soldiers with large shields immediately stood in front of Bilis, and there was a muffled sound on the shields, and they placed their shields on top of Bilis's head, and the Ward warriors in thick armor also used their bodies to protect their chieftains, but those without shields and armor were shot.
"Leave me alone, let the light infantry form a shield wall to block the front, what are the javelinmen doing? Shoot back, where are my vassals? Biliss anxiously told the guards around him that the weakness of the improvised feudal army was exposed, and he had to send his own men to find the vassals and let them reorganize their defenses.
"The phalanx advances~~~." Arold's phalanx of spears began to beat the small drums, and to the rhythm of the drums, spears in hand slowly approached, and the pikemen formed in a neat formation and walked in unison, in stark contrast to the chaotic and chaotic army of Biris.
Bilis's personal guards finally organized a defense composed of spears and large shields, blocking the advance of the pikes phalanx infantry outside the camp, and the javelinmen also picked up the javelins in their hands and threw them, but they had lost the most effective time to defend, and the pikes soon engaged with the Slavic light infantry, and the spears fell to the flat ends, and the dense spears barreled towards the ranks of the light infantry, and the tips of these spears were triangular shapes, with sharp spear heads made by cold forging, Every unnoticed Slavic light infantry was stabbed, bringing out a patch of flesh, and the sounds of fighting and howling echoed through the camp in Bilis.
"Chief Chief, let the Ward Warriors go up, those light infantry are no match at all." Most of the light infantry in Bilisi were just ordinary farmers, with no military qualities at all, and after a whole night of tossing, they were already too tired to even hold the shield in their hands, and if it weren't for the sword-wielding urging of the noble leader behind them, they would not have had the courage to face the recuperated pikemen phalanx, while Arold's soldiers quickly tore a hole in Bilis's defense.
"Well, the Ward warriors will keep me at bay from the Germans." Bilis couldn't help but take off his helmet and wipe the sweat from his forehead, those Germanic pikemen were strong, skillful in the use of weapons, and never left alone, often three or two to besiege a Slav, and soon scattered the soldiers gathered by Bilis, if he could not stabilize the situation with the Ward warriors, I am afraid that his army would be scattered.
"It's the chief." The Ward warriors hurriedly clenched their battle axes and rushed towards the fiercest part of the battle, but Biliss could clearly see that his proudest Ward warriors had become weak, and they only stepped forward to meet them at this time.
"Boom~~~." Just when the Ward warriors went to meet the spear phalanx infantry, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves came from both wings, and when Bilis heard this sound, he secretly cried bitterly, and the knights of Arrod on the left and right flanks rushed into the camp, shouting battle horns in their mouths, cutting down when they saw people, and the war horses under their crotches also jumped like thunder, knocking the fleeing Slavs to the ground, looking at the elite knights wearing shiny chain mail, holding shields and swords, none of them dared to come forward to meet them, and the Slavs fled in fear.
"Chieftain, it's not good, the vassals have taken their horses and fled." At this time, one of the heralds' relatives reported to Biliss in a terrified manner.
"What? My vassals have fled? Biliss was so surprised by his retinue that he could not believe his ears, but when he looked around, he saw no sign of the noble vassals, who seemed to have realized the disadvantage of the battle, and fled to their own territory by snatching their horses.
"Kill~~~." Seeing the phalanx of spears and knights in front of Arrod, the Willers also stirred up, and they rushed to the camp like a tidal wave with axes in their hands, slashing at the soldiers of Bilis, who had lost the will to fight, and the valley was full of Bilis's fleeing soldiers, as well as the cavalry and infantry pursuing behind them.
The battle ended in just one morning, and the exhaustion and sudden appearance of the enemy made Bilis defeated, and when Arrod's men occupied the entire camp, they counted the prisoners only to find that the cunning Biliss disguised himself as an ordinary soldier and fled, which made Arrod chagrined, but there was also a lot of good news, this battle captured a large number of Slavic prisoners of war, as well as food baggage and armor and weapons cleaned on the battlefield, even if it was divided equally with Marty, Arold made a lot of sweetness.
"How come there is still a battle that is not over?" Accompanied by his attendants and knights, Arold rode into the camp of Billis, a mess, and looked at the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield, when he heard the sound of weapons clashing over a cliff in the valley, and a group of knights and pikemen gathered around, curiously asking the knights of the inner palace around him.
"It seems to be the Ward warriors, who fled to the cliff and were surrounded by our men."
"Oh, then mine will check it out." Arold listened and knocked his horse's belly, and walked towards the cliff, those strong Ward warriors were heavily armoured, although they were sharp when attacking, but they did not ride horses, and of course they could not escape when they failed.
