Chapter 110: The decisive battle in Shitang Town (3) The center blooms, and the king leads the army

When the king led the army into Shitang Town, they were greeted by the noble knights of the Robert army, who were not only well-armoured, but also at ease, but the poor king led the army hungry and tightened his belt to barely withstand the invasion of hunger; And the oil they eat is flowing from their mouths, and they don't know how much they pour into the wine and delicacies; Wang Lingjun didn't sleep well because he was hungry at night, but they lay on the chuáng and slept until they didn't want to sleep.

Therefore, in the face of such an enemy, Wang led the army to have no other result than to be deflated, and this group of knights was full of energy, outstanding combat skills, and (shēn) was also wearing fine armor and holding a sword made of stainless steel in his hand.

As soon as the two sides fought, the poor Wang Lingjun was immediately superior, and the poor Wang Lingjun's stomach was growling with hunger, Rao is that they are already elite troops, but they are also red-eyed, and they are killed by the knights of the Robert Army who are waiting for work like chopping melons and vegetables, especially the "silver axe" and Robert, which can be called "weapons of mass destruction", and the big axe and war hammer will lie on the ground in front of a large area of the king and the army.

In fact, even if they have eaten enough and made up for sleep, they may not be the opponents of the group of "walking feudal knights" in front of them, not to mention their current decline. In the face of the swordsmanship of the noble knights of the Robert Army, they naturally could only move left and right, and the worst thing was that they were now bustling together, and there was no room for maneuver at all, so they were quickly broken through the defense by a sword and pierced the vital point.

After all, if they were to compete with the knights, even if they were full, they would not be the opponents of the knights! What's more, it's the virtue of the "starving ghost" now! Of course, they will soon become real starving ghosts, after all, their tragedy is already doomed! Fighting is a breath, and now they are the new force of the Labour Army, and they immediately show their timidity, and this breath is vented.

In addition, they were blocked in the city gate, and the numerical advantage could not be exerted, resulting in them being almost unilaterally slaughtered by the noble knights led by Robert, and more than 50 people had fallen in just the first encounter, and every hour and every second, the soldiers led by the king were "taken away", and this number reached as many as 5 people per second, and the screams of the soldiers led by the king before death could be heard every moment, poor guys! didn't even mix a full meal, and returned to the West with his life!

So where are the remaining knights of the king's army? Aren't there more than 6,000 of them? Since the last battle of the canyon left them with serious mental trauma, they are basically in the recuperation stage, and what is even worse is that their war horses first lost part of them in the battle of the canyon, and then Han Xing's arson night attack a few days ago made their war horses flee in all directions, and now only 3,000 knights and war horses are left. The other knights were left to fight on two legs.

What's worse is that all the forage of these war horses has been burned by the fire, fortunately, there is grassland around Shitang Town, and it is now summer, which can be regarded as abundant water and grass, so these war horses did not starve to death.

Here's the problem: that's 3,000 horses! The reason why the nomads want to migrate is because these cattle thieves can eat it, so that they have eaten up the grass in one place, and they have to go to a new place to gnaw it! So the grass by the river let them gnaw for a few days, and a large area was already gnawed "bald", so the 3,000 war horses had to be divided into two parts, and went upstream and downstream to forage for food.

Rao is that Jon Clinton has been deducting money everywhere in the past few days, which saved food and barely fed the knights, but they didn't know how to be grateful at all, but disliked Jon Clinton's stinginess, didn't let them eat, and spread rumors everywhere that Jon Clinton withheld food and military pay.

This made Earl Jon Clinton angry, "They don't look at what the other king's soldiers are eating right now!" It's good to eat some! Lao Tzu himself is now eating cabbage and radish with black bread to satisfy his hunger, and it is also the ration of ordinary soldiers! "Hell, Earl Jon Clinton still has to gather them back to fight.

However, just as the battle between the king and the Robert army was in full swing, there was a sound of horses' hooves from the west, as if rolling thunder was moving on the ground, or a tsunami swept over, and indeed a silver-gray "wave" swept towards the king's army from the west, and when they got closer and closer, their true colors were revealed, a sea of thousands of cavalrymen in silver helmets and silver armor, and they roared towards the stunned king's army.

At this moment, the battle-going King and the Robert army stopped in tacit understanding, staring at the army that had suddenly appeared, trying to see which side they belonged to from their clothing and flags.

When some of the Robert Army found out that they were flying the Stark family's Icewolf banner, the Robert Army cheered. "Reinforcements are coming! Master Stark's reinforcements are here! We won! Yes! Yes! Yes! The cheers of the Robert Army are from the heart, hearing about the reinforcements and seeing the reinforcements are two different things, after all, "hearing is false, eyes are believing"!

Correspondingly, the soldiers led by the king like a mourning concubine, their faces were like frosted eggplants, and they all wilted.

They had lived with the momentum of a battle against the water, but now that their hometown had been stolen, hunger and exhaustion had once again taken over their bodies, and they suddenly felt so powerless and tired that they wanted to lie down and sleep. At this moment, their will to resist has been broken, and the only thing that prevents them from escaping is that the enemy in front of them obviously will not let them go so easily.

The knights of House Stark, led by Eddard, rushed into the camp of the king like a pack of real ice wolves, who seemed to be a poor herd of lambs, and a hungry lamb.

Below (shēn) were the old, weak, sick and disabled members of Wang Lin's army, who were left behind in the city due to their low combat effectiveness, waving their flags and shouting for the elite troops at the head of the city, just like Robert's second echelon in the Battle of Cen Shu Tan. It is true that their combat power and equipment are much stronger than those miscellaneous soldiers under Robert, but how much combat power can a hungry person exert?

(ài) Shēn was in the "reserve" camp of the king's army, and because he was skilled in combat and was a squad leader, he was equipped with a sword and shield, a member of the swordsman army. It stands to reason that he should have been stabbed at the city gate by now, but because he was wounded after all, he was left in the rear, with the remaining swordsmen as reserves.

(ài) Red was not on the front line of the Elder Army's charge, in fact, on the far left flank was a group of spearmen, but unfortunately they were still under the double torture of hunger and fatigue, looking at the Stark cavalry galloping in the distance, he immediately panicked, and Bacheng was still in the "groove" in his heart, most of them turned (shēn) directly and ran towards the forest in the rear, not playing the slightest buffer role at all.

After all, the Stark family has a terrifying number of cavalry, perhaps because the northern territory already produces horses, and the majority of them are plains, although the northern cavalry only has one (shēn) chain armor, and the outer one is covered with cotton armor. But there are more than 5,000 of them.

In addition, now that they have come to the warm south, they can take off the cotton armor that gets in the way to "lighten the burden", and the war horses are also happy because of this warm climate, and they naturally run very fast.

The terrible Stark cavalry went straight through the first line of spearmen on the collapsed left flank, and the poor king was already tired and hungry, and now he was confronted by the new army led by Eddard, and after seeing that the first group of deserters had successfully escaped into the forest and were not pursued, they immediately joined the fleeing ranks.

It turns out that running away is contagious, or if you want to be a tough guy, but you find that everyone on the side has run away, will you stay and die? Tough guys aren't stupid! What is the difference between trying to resist thousands of cavalry by one person and using a mantis arm as a car? It's worthless to die! What's more, there is a fluke mentality and a herd mentality?

As a silver blade, the northern cavalry led by Ed pierced into the left flank of Wang's army with the same ease as a sliced butter (牛 (nǎi) extract, similar to the lard eaten as a child), and was still rushing towards the Chinese army at a speed visible to the eyes of the (ròu). The entire left flank of Wang's army, with tens of thousands of people, melted like "butter", and the originally square military formation instantly turned into a puddle of sparse lala.

At this point, the soldiers led by the king at the head of the city had the most intuitive feeling, because they were on the commanding heights, and they watched the cavalry of the Stark family penetrate their left flank, and then the left flank collapsed like that, and countless soldiers ran towards the forest in the rear without looking back. At this moment, they finally realized that Earl Jon Clinton felt one ten-thousandth of what he felt at this time, it was a heart-wrenching feeling.

After finishing their struggle with their sense of honor, they began to think about their situation, they were still on the walls! The Robert army behind them was eyeing them, and by watching the "performance" of the northern cavalry just now, they already knew that they were probably in a dilemma. Faced with this situation, they have only two choices, one to run away, and the other to ······ Surrender on your knees.

So I had time to run naturally (shēn) and climb the ladder and slide downward, and some people who were confident in their (shēn) body jumped down the wall directly, and there were really a lot of them on the ground after a few side rolls, although they were disgraced, but they could continue to run when they got up. Those who didn't have time to run, and didn't want to risk jumping, simply knelt down for the Robert Army, held their heads in their hands, and begged for mercy.

Seeing that Wang's leading army was beginning to rout, Robert immediately beckoned Hu Cong to bring them war horses, and then also took the remaining more than 2,500 knights out to line up and chased after Wang's leading army.

Those routs thought that they had escaped from the city wall safely, but they did not expect to be chased and killed. So they had no choice but to squeeze desperately into the formation of the king's army, hoping that their companions would block the pursuit of Robert and his knights for them.

It stands to reason that experienced commanders would kill these routers, or at least send soldiers to drive them away, so that they could attack their own formation from the front, but Earl Jon Clinton went to the left flank to oversee the battle and try to salvage the defeat.

So the formation of Wang's leading army was directly washed into a mess by these panicked routs, like a muddy wall that was washed down by the current.

Robert took the lead in chasing these routs and entered the formation of Wang's army's army, with Robert opening the way, coupled with the disrupted formation, Wang's army's army was also shaken, and was directly penetrated by Robert in the first formation.
