Chapter 14: Barbarian Charge
But then again, the knights allowed the barbarian warriors to slaughter in the peasant phalanx, while they watched from the rear, as if waiting for something.
Zhou Mingyue was a little unbearable, to say that these farmers look very lowly, but they are the pillars of every family, and if they hang up, it means that a family is broken.
Of course, he can only hide on the sidelines.
However, he was a little curious about the actions of the knights.
In any case, these farmers will create wealth for those knights, and it is really a little unwise to consume them here, but Zhou Mingyue has long seen that people who can become knights are much stronger than most ordinary people in terms of intelligence and hard work.
So they would be so stupid?
Zhou Mingyue didn't believe it.
In less than ten minutes, hundreds of peasants had been routed on the battlefield, and only sixty or seventy remained, crying for their fathers and mothers, and fled backwards, completely ignoring the iron spears stabbed by the standing soldiers behind.
But the knights still did not move, but continued to drive the two phalanxes forward, one left and one right, towards the pursuing barbarians.
As for the defeated peasants, naturally there were standing soldiers who gathered them and took them aside to settle down.
These slain farmers will not be able to go to war anytime soon.
Surrounded by the two phalanxes, although the more than ten barbarian warriors who chased and killed were still amazing, and the weapons in their hands kept falling towards the farmers, splashing blood flowers, but under the encirclement of more than two hundred farmers, they were also like falling into a quagmire, and spears were constantly piercing from all directions, piercing into their bodies.
Barbarians are much stronger than humans, but they are weakened when they bleed more.
So it didn't take long for the first barbarian warrior to die under the farmer's spear.
It's like dominoes, if the first one appears, then there will be a second, a third, and the more Barbarian warriors fall, the more pressure the remaining Barbarian warriors will be.
Although no less than fifty or sixty people had been killed by the farmer before this, if all the ten or so barbarian warriors could be left, then the human side would undoubtedly make money.
There is no doubt that it is impossible for the barbarian tribe to see this happen, after all, compared to humans with strong reproductive ability, it is absolute that a race with strong basic combat power like the barbarian has a relatively low reproductive ability.
In this way, the barbarian warriors who were watching behind the stone wall could not stand, and jumped down from the wall one by one like dumplings, howling and rushing towards this side.
At least a hundred barbarian warriors came in this breath.
From what Zhou Mingyue had learned, this was almost the gathering of all the warriors of a barbarian tribe.
After all, the civilization level of the barbarian tribe is low, and the population that can be supported is only five or six hundred people at most, this is still a big tribe, like the barbarian tribe in front of me, it has a population of almost three hundred, except for the old, young and young, how many warriors can be left?
At this moment, the knights who had been holding their ground moved!
They followed behind Viscount Hanks, driving the war horses under their hips, holding spears with cork handles, and constantly accelerating, forming a charging cluster, one by one, after a wild roar, faint lights of various colors appeared on their bodies, and their momentum was extremely amazing.
Compared to those knights, Viscount Hanks was more prominent, not only did his body glow with fiery red, but even the cavalry spear had a layer of fiery red light attached to it!
Seeing the human knights dispatching, those barbarian warriors were not afraid at all, but seemed even more excited, and a barbarian warrior who rushed to the front wore pheasant feathers erected high on his head, his face was painted with red and black colors, and he was holding a thick beast bone in his right hand, which was as white as jade, and it was not a mortal thing at first glance.
The two sides accelerated and galloped, and after more than ten breaths, they could smell their breath.
The barbarian warrior who led him jumped high and smashed it towards Viscount Hanks with a wave of his big bone stick.
This stick smashed down, if it hit, not to mention that Viscount Hanks was wearing a chain mail, even if he was wearing an iron can, I am afraid that most of it would have to be smashed flat!
In the face of the barbarian warrior's jumping attack, Viscount Hanks was not in a hurry, the spear suddenly raised, tilted more than ten degrees, and the barbarian warrior didn't even have time to react, and was stabbed by the spear.
Although the spear broke under the huge impact, the barbarian warrior was like a baseball that had been hit, and it was knocked back in an instant, flying more than twenty meters, and slammed into the ground, with a large hole in his chest, blood flowing out, and he was short of breath, and he was not alive when he saw it.
Viscount Hanks was the first to kill one person, and the rest of the knights were not inferior, and the two sides staggered, and the barbarian warriors were hit by spears one after another and flew upside down.
There are even some knights who come with a string of two, a string of three!
By the time the knights began to rotate their formations, the number of barbarian warriors killed had reached twenty.
In the blink of an eye, there were one-fifth fewer barbarian warriors who attacked!
Coupled with the barbarian warriors who were trapped in the peasant array and almost suffered casualties, the barbarian tribe lost more than thirty people.
There is no doubt that this is not a small blow to the morale of the barbarian side.
Therefore, after the two sides staggered, many barbarian warriors looked at the dead clansmen and stopped dumbly one by one, with a blank look in their eyes.
What to do?
Obviously, the barbarian warrior who was initially killed by Viscount Hanks with a single blow should be the leader or leader of it, so the barbarian warrior lost his command.
Viscount Hanks, however, had no intention of giving up, and after the knights' formation maneuvered, they pursued the barbarian warriors again, and this time, they drew their two-handed swords hanging on the left side of the saddle.
At the same time, the standing soldiers drove the remaining peasants into battle and surrounded the barbarian warriors, who had lost their spirits.
Some of the barbarian warriors fled in panic and detoured towards the stone wall, while other barbarian warriors gritted their teeth, carried their weapons, and turned around to kill the onrushing knights.
The two sides soon made contact again, and the knights were still glowing, and after swinging their swords left and right, they immediately dismounted and fought the barbarian warriors.
As the hordes of peasants swarmed in, the barbarian warriors were caught in the crowd, and the peasants flew out screaming and screaming, and there were still more than sixty barbarian warriors in the midst of stubborn resistance.
It was impossible for the dozen or so knights to wipe them out in a short period of time.
Moreover, those farmers are also afraid, who does not want to return alive, and therefore is afraid when fighting.
As a result, the two sides are temporarily at an impasse.
