Chapter Forty-Six: A Knight Duel?

"Why do these Belu dogs have so many arrows, don't they cost any money?"

A city defense soldier watched his companion who had been hit by an arrow slowly struggle in a pool of blood, and then his body gradually became stiff, and he couldn't help but roar angrily.

No one answered his question, and Ron looked at the arrows that were stuck on the towers and the arrows that fell on the battlements, and that alone was a thousand, not counting the number of those that had bounced off the walls and fallen into the moat because of their lack of strength.

At this time, there was a brave soldier, peeking out a little head from the gap in the battlements, wanting to see the enemy's movements, and suddenly an arrow grazed his face and nailed to the castle tower behind him, although the soldier was lucky enough to escape, but a large cut was made in his face, and the tender flesh under the skin was turned out, and the blood flowed incessantly.

"Don't you take the lead! wouldn't it be good for them to send us some supplies?" Meria said sharply: "This stance tonight must be just a feint, and when their cavalry is over, collect all the crossbow arrows that can be used on the city tower, and tomorrow at dawn, they will launch a general attack." ”

Although he was very angry and humiliated in his heart, at this time, the city defense army of Yode could only obediently face the turtle with a shrunken head. The clanging sound was like entering a blacksmith's shop, and each sound was like a nail of shame in their hearts.

After two or three minutes of such an offensive, Belu's cavalry finally stopped firing a salvo, and the city defenders on the battlements could finally raise their heads to see the situation outside.

The salvo of the Belu people has always been completed when the war horses accelerate and sprint forward, with the help of the power of the forward rush, the range of these arrows will be farther, to the extent that they are enough to cross the moat and shoot to the city tower, and the Belu cavalry, after releasing the arrows, under the fire of the torches, directly spread out to the left and right wings, and directly ran out of a large arc on the Great Plains. Not a single cavalry was out of formation, and in the dull sound of horses' hooves, all the Belu cavalry began to shout frantically, and there was no doubt that they were the masters of the Great Plains on this night.

"Tonight, let's all fix up. Meria's face was very calm, but the slight twitching of his facial muscles still revealed his not calm state of mind: "Tonight's attack by the Belu people will definitely end here, and when it is dawn, they should launch a general attack, even if it is not a nest, it is a coordinated operation between multiple troops, this is our real test!"

Ron didn't speak on the side, his personal combat power was too limited in this kind of big battlefield, and he couldn't raise his head by the rain of arrows from the Belu people, and now these Belu cavalry were still shouting like a show of strength on the Great Plains, and the morale of the city defense army was obviously extremely low, according to this state, they had almost no chance of winning tomorrow's battle.

"Let's go, Ron, we should have a little more time to rest before dawn. ”

Ron and Meria's eyes made eye contact in the air, and they could both see the anxiety in each other's eyes, and this night was destined to be a sleepless night for everyone in Yoder Town.

......

On the Great Plains, a few thousand meters east of the town of Yod, the Second Legion of Belu from Hamp City was stationed, and countless torches lit up the entire camp as if it were day, and the neighing of horses in the troughs, the footsteps of soldiers walking in the camp, and even the sharp grinding of swords were intertwined, indicating that the flames of war were about to burn from Hamp City to the great plain.

"Lord Lampard, the cavalry is back. ”

The huge tent in the centre of the camp was where Frank Lampard, the Supreme Commander of the Second Legion, rested and commanded his troops, and in order to ensure that the generals had enough energy tomorrow, Lampard had cancelled the routine pre-battle combat meeting. In the spacious tent, there were only two people, Frank Lampard and Adjutant Williams.

"How's it going, over there in Yode?" Lampard leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed.

"There is no resistance or resistance at all, and the knight chief Lancer said that as long as the general attack is launched at dawn tomorrow, within an hour, the town of Yoder can definitely be burned to ruins. ”

"This idiot!" said Lampard, who suddenly opened his eyes and said coldly.

"Remember, the Grand Duke's order is to make Yoder Town a bait to destroy Noah's army! Don't I know that Yoder Town has little resistance at all?" Lampard paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "Tomorrow our army will be in formation, and you will arrange for our knights to have a one-on-one duel with the opposite side." ”

"One-on-one, knight duel?" Williams' eyes widened in surprise, Lampard's order sounded incredible, but he also knew that Lampard would never be joking at this time.

There is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, but the side with absolute superiority in strength actually has to have a one-on-one duel on the battlefield.

"I'm curious about what makes these forces in Yoder dare to hold on to the city in the face of our deterrence from Hamp City. Lampard laughed: "Just because they think we don't dare to attack, or is there something else to rely on?Williams, you should know that once humans are in despair, they burst out of their greatest potential, and I hope these Noahs in Yoder Town can satisfy my little curiosity." ”

"But my lord, I am afraid that such a decision will cause some soldiers to be dissatisfied. Williams whispered.

"Well, you just have to remember that I, Frank Lampard, am the supreme commander of the Second Legion, and that's enough. Lampard waved his hand: "You get out." ”

Williams was in his mind, the Second Legion's record was impressive, but equally, if someone dared to challenge the authority of the commander, then Lampard would not be relentless.

This is a person who is ruthless to his enemies and will not be soft on his own people!

Sure enough, this kind of bizarre-sounding order did arouse the doubts and spread of many soldiers, who did not know the order of the Grand Duke of Beru, and it was not long before some junior officers came to Williams to complain.

In this regard, Williams directly dealt with some of the most vociferous soldiers, and also gave those who had just joined the army a taste of Frank Lampard's iron wrist.

This night, for Noah's army, was also unpeaceful.

Before dawn, the Belu army stationed on the Great Plains began to slowly march in the direction of the town of Yod, which was the last darkness before dawn and the prelude to the beginning of the great battle!
