A middle-aged man rode out of the crowd on horseback, and it was none other than Earl Landon Fel.

He said calmly: "Duke Robert! Let me call you 'Duke Robert' at the last time, for it is not the duty of a man to rebel against His Majesty in rebellion. ”

"Earl Landon Fel, then you have openly rebelled against me, is it your rightful lord the duty of a human servant? Don't you know why I rebelled? It was after the Prince of Dragonstone who kidnapped my fiancée, the Mad King, who burned my father-in-law, and brutally executed my brother-in-law, that I rebelled in a fit of rage! Rollblanc said that he was not only speaking to Landon Fell and his sons, but also to those who were on the sidelines.

"Robert Baratheon, please be careful, His Majesty is the rightful ruler of Westeros, and the Targaryens' rule over the Seven Kingdoms is unshakable! Your ancestor was only an illegitimate child, and if it weren't for the grace of His Majesty Aegon Targaryen, who would be qualified to rule the Stormlands? "Landon Fell made a direct personal attack, and it is clear that he is loyal to the Targaryens.

Han Xing even secretly wondered if these damn families could be the nails that the Targaryen family deliberately buried among the nobles of the Stormlands to contain the Baratheon family? After all, they happen to be the transportation hub and economic lifeline to the royal realm, if the Baratheon family dares to move, as long as these few nails are used, not only can ensure that the royal realm is impregnable, but also incidentally cause the nobles inside the stormland to start watching, so that the Baratheon family will never become a threat to the Targaryens.

"Then there is only one way to go to war! I'm giving you a chance to put up a position and fight fair with me! Robert announced loudly.

Han Xing almost laughed out loud when he heard Robert's words, full of admiration for Robert's righteous and awe-inspiring belly, "Still fighting fairly?" What Robert fears most is that they will run away, and when the time comes, they will run into the storm to stir up the wind and rain, which will make the nobles around Robert panic, as long as they are willing to obediently stay and fight Robert, are they afraid that they will not be killed? ”

What's more, Robert was catching up with a small number of cavalry at this time, but it was just a bluff, and if he really wanted to fight, he might not be the opponent of the other side, and the "fair decisive battle" meant that Robert had plenty of time to wait for the follow-up troops to come and converge, and then crush the Fell army on the opposite side.

After Robert annexed the forces of Carvolon and Grandson, he already had an army of more than 20,000, and although the Fell family on the opposite side was the most powerful of the three, with an army of 6,000, it was not a "small thing" compared to Robert's 20,000!

Han Xing thought that the Earl of Fell on the other side would not agree to such an "rude" request, but unexpectedly, Earl Landon Fell accepted Robert's request for a decisive battle.

This is that Han Xing doesn't understand these routines similar to the nobles of the medieval Westeros continent, you must know that in this era of chivalry, agreeing on a place, an appointment, and a "covenant" are common phenomena among nobles.

The reason for this, as mentioned above, is that since most of the Western armies are small, if they don't make an appointment in advance, the two sides won't have time to meet each other in a few days, and they can only spin around like headless flies, so where is the war! It's just peek-a-boo.

What's more, the most elite troops in the West are knight troops, don't look at knights riding horses, knights walk slower than infantry when they don't fight on weekdays, after all, war horses can't be ridden all the time, just like people, if you let anyone run with weight all day long, who can afford it!

Therefore, on weekdays, knights generally sit on the cart, or at least take off their armor and drag it on the carriage, so as to "lighten the burden" of their beloved war horses, and the food of the war horses must be good, not only forage, but also raw eggs to supplement protein! Otherwise, if you lose your fat, you won't be able to move your armor, and you will weigh nearly a hundred kilograms!

Moreover, European horses have always been good at short-distance sprints, and long-distance endurance and long-distance running are not good at it, so it is basically only suitable for rushing in a few waves in the plains, but in general, there is no unit that allows this group of knights to rush a few waves without collapsing.

To sum up, this is why there will be a "fight" situation in the war in Europe, on the one hand, it is the moral constraint of chivalry, and on the other hand, it is forced by practical factors such as war horses and the size of the troops.

Robert and Earl Landon Fell agreed an hour later to fight in a wasteland to the south of the Summer Hall, a forest that had been burned to the ground by the fires of the Summer Hall.

Robert was not at all worried about Earl Landon Fair's disapproval, and the sense of honor drove the nobles to keep their words and deeds in accordance with chivalry, not to mention that even if he wanted to, he might not be able to run.

An hour later, the two armies faced off in the wasteland south of Midsummer Hall, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the owners of the Robert Army had a numerical advantage, of course, as it was said in the Game of Thrones TV series: "If you have a lot of numbers, you will definitely win, and then the world has long been ruled by mathematicians." "Even if there are more people, it is not necessarily the winner, there is no shortage of cases of winning more with less, but it is certain that more people win relatively large.

However, this theory may not apply to this battlefield, because Robert is obviously not a third-rate commander, and he decided to use the simplest and most crude tactics at the moment.

Cavalry assault, infantry to keep up with the cover, this tactic can be described as a classic in the classics, almost every general who leads the cavalry can think of this tactic, this tactic is the best tactic for more people to bully less, it is worth mentioning that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, likes this tactic very much.

Robert led the way, leading his 4,000 cavalry in waves towards Landon Fair's army, which alone amounted to two-thirds of Fell's army.

Believe me, the sight of 4,000 cavalry charging together is spectacular, think about it! A flag-raising ceremony was held in an elementary school, and no more than a thousand people were killed, but it was already a sea of people, this was still a group of children, 4,000 adults and their horses, plus 10,000 infantry followed, this was an absolutely amazing scene, this kind of enemy came from the sky like a dark cloud, and the soldiers of the Fell Army trembled.

The sound of the hooves of the four thousand cavalry sounded in the ears of the Fairs army like a muffled thunder in the sky, the stones on the ground were shaken and jumped on the ground, and the ashes left by the burning trees in the wasteland flew up under the trampling of the horses' hooves, making the knights of the Robert army look as if they were heavenly soldiers and generals in the clouds.

Han Xing is also impressively in the ranks of the charge, Han Xing now knows why the ancient Celestial Empire likes to play "fraud", to be honest, in the state of his own charge, let alone 20,000, even if it is claimed to be 100,000, I am afraid that the opposite side will believe it, no way, after all, there are enemies within the sight, who can tell whether it is 100,000 or 20,000!

When they came to within about fifty meters, the knight who rushed to the front began to put down his horse pistol and began to charge officially, to be honest, this was the first time that Han Xing had charged head-on on the battlefield.

Although the Fairs on the opposite side seemed to be in worse shape than their own, a few of them forgot to raise their spears at the knights of the Robert Army.

For the infantry, there is no better way to resist a cavalry unit than a spear, which, with the momentum of a horse, hits the spear headlong and is sure to be pierced. But unfortunately, their spears are only 1.8 meters long, while the knights' carbines are a full 2 meters long, not to mention, the spears of the infantry are usually held in the middle position, who will hold the tail end! That doesn't work at all.

As the two sides made official contact, there was the sound of knights' pistols breaking or crashing into their shields, as well as the screams of enemies and the wailing of their horses.

Han Xing's horse pistol accurately hit a young man's chest, the leather armor on the young man's body was completely penetrated, the head of the gun was broken and stuck in his chest, his breathing seemed to be hindered, a large amount of blood gushed out of his mouth, and the blood was even blown out of bubbles by the gas he exhaled. He struggled weakly a few times, and his throat made a sound of "drink~~~drink~~~~", and finally turned into a corpse with a purple face.

This is just a corner of the battlefield, there are countless enemies or are hit by the horse pistol on the ground wailing, and then stepped on by the horse, even if they did not hit the vital point before, they will be trampled alive by the knight's weight of more than 100 kilograms, not to mention that the knight is advancing in a scale, even if the person in front does not trample him, and the one behind, there is still a horseshoe nailed to the horse's hooves!

Or be hit by a knight and fly straight out and hit your own spear, that's called an "oolong death"! The battlefield is not a game, and it is not uncommon for allies to get injured by mistake.

Although there were some knights whose horses were pierced by spears, causing them to fall, this was only a small part, but some of them did not end well, although they wore thick plate armor, but if they could not stand up, they would be trampled to death by the hooves of the friendly horses behind them, and these armor could not save their lives from under the hooves.

With a single charge, Earl Fair's six thousand men lost a third, and the formation of the whole force was torn open a gap, which continued to widen as the knights began to draw their swords and slash at the infantry.

Although their spears have a certain effect, the knights are not covered, they have shields in their hands, and they also wear thick plate armor, isn't it just to deal with spears! Even if it hits the knight, the spear will not penetrate much through the armor, leaving a small wound on the knight's body at most, but the levy will be killed by the knight's hateful blow.

In the middle, Robert is the most courageous, he left a deep impression on the other party and the sledgehammer in his hand caused almost no one to dare to face him directly, his sledgehammer is completely in line with the description of the golden hoop stick in Journey to the West: "If you rub it, you will be injured, and if you touch it, you will die!" As a result, there was even a no-man's land around him, and the ground was full of corpses that had been smashed by him.

In order to boost his morale, Landon Fell had no choice but to fight Robert himself, and he rushed towards Robert with the long sword in his hand, but as soon as he fought him, he felt his hand sink and his right arm was shaken and hurt.

He already knew that he was no match for Robert, but he couldn't help it, he was the commander of his own army, as the saying goes, "one soldier will be a nest of bears." "He can't throw in the towel! If you admit defeat, you will really collapse.

Within a few rounds he was hit in the head by Robert with a hammer, this time with the pointed side of the armor, which immediately left a triangular bloody hole in the back of Langdon Fell's head.

Landon Fell off his horse with a scream, and his son "Silver Axe" immediately howled and rushed up, "Father, Robert, I will avenge my father!" ”

He brandished the famous "silver axe" and rushed towards Robert, his hateful blow really startled Robert, but his silver axe was not as heavy as Robert's sledgehammer after all, plus he was originally similar to the "weakened version of Robert", naturally not as good as Robert's "genuine".

Robert admired him so much that he didn't want his life, but just swept him off his horse.

Seeing that the Earl of Fair's father and son were defeated, the remaining remnants of their soldiers immediately knelt on their knees and begged for mercy as if they had been pardoned, "The boss is all kneeling, and we are still a hair!" "They have been killed, and only more than two thousand remain.

The Silver Axe howled and roared on the ground at first, and then there was a clear look in his eyes as he struggled to crawl towards his father's corpse, his armor becoming a burden, causing him to struggle with every step he took.

He finally came to his father's side, and wept over the dusty face of his father, Landon Fell, and Robert dismounted and came to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Believe it or not, I know how you feel, and I have watched my father die. As he spoke, he lifted him up.

"No, you don't understand! You killed him! Devil! "The Silver Axe shook off Robert's hand, opened his eyes wide and red from crying, and cursed Robert.

"Your father's death is a glorious battle, and his soul will be guided by the old woman, accompanied by warriors, to the heavenly kingdom of the Father, and will watch over you above the clouds. He was always a man who stood up for his principles, an enemy that I was in awe of. My father, on the other hand, died in a damn shipwreck. Robert was not angry, but silently recounted.

"Silver Axe" fell silent, and it didn't take long for him to turn to look at Robert again, and even Han Xing immediately drew his sword, thinking that he was going to break out, but he didn't expect him to kneel, swear allegiance to Robert, and offer his "Silver Axe" with both hands to show his sincerity.

No one knows what the Silver Axe was thinking, maybe it was Robert's words that moved him, maybe it was because the nobles of Westeros have always obeyed the strong, just like the big Jon Amber, who was ordered by Robb to bite off two fingers by Robb Stark's authority because of the provocation of Robb Stark, and as a result, he became Robb's loyal supporter, and sometimes the loyalty of the Westeros nobles came really strangely.

But there is no doubt that Silver Axe will become Robert's most loyal and brave man for some time to come.
