Chapter 478: Great Knight Rogge
The elite knights of the 400 Knights Hospitaller, led by thousands of Crusader cavalry, were stopped in the village of Hardin by Arab forces twice their strength. The small village was immediately filled with soldiers on both sides, and the streets were fenced, the houses and warehouses, the haystacks of the fields, and there were battlefields everywhere. The crusaders were caught in terrible street fighting!
Inside the village were the fierce Arab hoplites, who took advantage of the obstacles in the village to entangle the Crusader cavalry on horseback. The mobility of the Crusader cavalry was reduced to a minimum. On the outskirts of the village are the elite Muslim armored knights, who attack the Crusader stragglers who are trying to break through and escape, and surround the village tightly! There are also hundreds of archers on the high ground next to the village, whose precise archery skills unexpectedly plundered the lives of Crusader soldiers......
What's even more terrifying is that because Apdu attacked the flank infantry of the Crusaders, the Knights Templar's return defense gave the Arab light cavalry troops, which were already on the verge of collapse, a chance to breathe, and they surrounded the Crusaders trapped in Cape Hardin under the integration of their respective commands, so that the Knights Hospitaller who fell in the village of Hardin could no longer get reinforcements!
The crusaders trapped in Cape Hardin were still hoping that the Knights Hospitaller would be able to turn around and relieve themselves after destroying the baggage supplies of the Arab troops. Gerard looked in the direction of the village of Harding, watching the black smoke rise there, and his heart was filled with the joy of victory, full of anticipation for Rogge, the head of the Hospitaller. He looked forward to the black battle flag of the Knights Hospitaller, guiding the valiant knights to break through the perimeter of the Arab forces and join forces with his own Templar Order, defeating Saladin in one fell swoop!
"How's it going over there? Has the scene mission been completed? Akon was a little worried about Zhang Fan.
"Hey, it's too intense! I really can't intervene, it's dangerous......" Cautious as Zhang Fan, he still felt safer in the inconspicuous stone house on the edge of this village. This large-scale chaotic weapon fight, no matter how high your force is, is easy to hang up, not to mention that in such a small place, tens of thousands of people are crowded!
"You have to be careful, if you really can't do it, don't hold it hard, show up to avoid it, find a lone knight to kill it......" Akon felt that this didn't seem appropriate, after all, the more difficult this task is, the higher the benefit!
"I know ...... in my heart" The shouting of killing outside the house shook the sky, and the sound of swords and shields intersecting made people feel as if they had walked into the armory. Green Wing also sent a message to care, she was fighting on the periphery, it was still relatively safe, and there were ten summoned cavalry by her side to protect her.
Dark Sakura, who is experienced in hiding, lit a fire outside the house, making people mistakenly think that the place had been burned down. The soldiers of the two armies in the fighting, no one noticed that there were still people hiding in this stone house.
This battle was fought and it was called bloody, even Zhang Fan, who was hiding in the house, felt it, because the blood outside the door had spread in through the crack in the door, making the ground slippery and greasy. The strong smell of blood permeated the entire Harding Village, even Akon, who was far away from the battlefield, could smell it, not to mention Zhang Fan and Dark Sakura who were blocked in the house.
"It's a slaughterhouse, and it's a ...... comparison to the battle at the 'Flesh Barrier' in Talas," Akon sighed as he put down his binoculars. The scene in front of him made him unbearable, this kind of mixed strangulation battle between the two sides was more tragic than the defensive battle! Even if the wise man of the other side loses this battle, he should be able to get a high reward, because this battle alone has caused so many people to die on Saladin's side, which is far more than the number of casualties on the Muslim side of the Battle of Hadin in history!
Elite Muslim hoplites, killed and wounded by the knights of the Knights Hospitaller! The high ground outside the village where Akon was located was also desperately assaulted by a Crusader cavalry, and the archer troops suffered heavy casualties! However, they won the highest battle loss ratio. In order to prevent the knights from breaking through, the armored cavalry was almost defeated by a cavalry unit led by Captain Rogge of the Knights Hospitaller! But they still stopped Rogge in the end, although the difference in strength was very large five to one, but this also won them honor!
Green Wing and the Fierce King were covered in blood and gasping for breath, and the two of them paid a great price to stop Rogge. The Fierce King had just repaired the Haode Dark Gold Shield and Armor, and it was destroyed again! There are no phantom cavalry and knights left in the green wing, and the war horse has been seriously injured! If she hadn't used the 'Wind Spirit Flash' to flash quickly, I'm afraid that Grand Master Rogge's sprint would have stabbed her to death! However, they also killed Rogge to a serious injury, if it weren't for his knightly guards desperately rescued, I'm afraid Rogge would have become the ghost of the fierce king's sword!
It was a terrible fight! Rogge, who was covered in holy light, and his personal guards formed a shock formation, broke through the entanglement and obstruction of the hoplites, and went to the main road outside the village. Rogge's breakthrough this time was not in the hope that he would be able to escape with his life, but in order to divert the enemy's attention, he arranged for a commando team to go and eliminate the threatening archer army on the high ground outside the village.
Sure enough, his combat power attracted most of the opponent's combat power, and the two strangely dressed knights in front of him led the opponent's armored knights to rush towards him. One of the female knights actually has the sacred aura of a crusader knight?!
Greenwing takes the lead, and her horse speed is faster than that of the Fierce King! Although the Fierce King completed the scene mission this time was also good, and his war horse was also improved by the captured cross sword, because his strength was much stronger than the weakened Green Wing, although he was also brave enough to face the challenge of a knight alone, the reward was still lower than that of Green Wing.
The green wings that rushed in front were not afraid of the impact of Grand Master Rogge! She summoned a Templar and the apparitions of ten Crusader hoplites in front of her, trying to deplete them in their arsenal!
The Captain Hospitaller was shocked to see that it was his own friendly army rushing on the opposite side! The Knight Hospitaller who followed him was even more puzzled, but the determined Knight did not hesitate to back down. They chant the name of God, calmly charge!
Rogge's huge cavalry spear emitted a sharp holy light several feet long, and with the help of the impact of the formation, it shattered these phantoms in one fell swoop! From a high vantage point, it seemed as if the knight's phantom had been melted and absorbed by the holy light, and it disappeared without even touching the rough edges of Knight Rog! The charging Green Wing was taken aback, but she was also a brave knight who never knew what it was to retreat. Therefore, she bumped into Rogge's riding spear without any suspense, and the war horse under her crotch neighed, and was pierced through the neck by Rogge's riding spear, turning into a doll and falling into the dust. The moment Green Wing was hit by a huge force, he knew that something was wrong, and immediately launched the 'Wind Spirit Flash' and ran out of the battle circle!
Rogge's eyes flickered, and he was shocked to find that the opponent in front of him had disappeared. And at this moment, the fierce king had already rushed up, he was strong in his own horsepower, and his body was strong and huge, and he actually collided with Rogge! This proud fellow, this time let a woman rush ahead, and his self-esteem was greatly hurt.
But bravery is brave, Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller, an upright and brave knight in history, who died under the True Cross. Therefore, he may be the default number one warrior in this scene, and his combat power may be comparable to that sea serpent, but he is just a sea basilisk that has come ashore.
Therefore, the fierce king slashed on the front armor of Rogge's war horse with a knife, and after splitting the vest of Rogge's war horse, he was also knocked to the ground by his opponent. Immediately after, the Great Cross Sword of the Great Knight of Rogge flashed with holy light, and a sword slashed down! The fierce king turned his back to the sky and hastily raised a large round shield to block it. But with the help of this split of horsepower, the Great Knight of Rogge actually cut open the dark gold shield of the fierce king, and the remaining momentum was not endless, and he drew a deep crack in his dark gold inlaid armor!
The fierce king spat out a mouthful of blood, hurriedly rolled to the side, collected the broken shield, and took out a tower shield to block the attacks of the follow-up knights. Although the two high-level ring bearers were attacked by the great knight Rogge, they finally restrained the opponent's charging momentum and avoided the possibility of being crushed by the opponent in one fell swoop.
