Chapter 148: The End
An army of about four hundred men moved in the rain and marched towards Sunset Valley. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Mormont rode the old horse, and felt a little melancholy in his heart. I'm also a knight, but I didn't expect to be reduced to this point now, and I feel a little sad when I think about it.
"Old man, you rode this old horse to join the army? But it fits your image quite well, and when the time comes, you must grit your teeth and charge forward, otherwise the charge of being a spy will not be washed away." The knight's men approached, saw Mormont's condition, and laughed.
"You don't need to worry. Mormont didn't take their words to heart, even if the horse couldn't run, he could go on the field alone and kill the enemy, and who would dare to say anything when the time came.
I hope you remember that. A few people slowly returned to their queues, and if you could believe what an old man said, maybe you wouldn't be able to see the figure at that time.
The army slowly advanced, and a strange feeling arose in Mormont's heart inexplicably, this time someone must be ambushing in Sunset Valley. It's a pity that the lord has already made the final decision and decided to face the enemy head-on.
Mormont had no choice but to comply with such a decision. The losses of being attacked will be more, but as long as all the rebels are defeated, then their original intention will be completed.
"Horse, you have to work hard, and I have to give you back, I owe Mr. Lyon so much affection, and I must live to repay him. Mormont patted the horse's forehead, and the freshly combed hair was wet and sticky in the drizzle.
Sunset Valley gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes, the vanguard had already entered the valley, and the militia behind was still outside the valley, and the vehicles escorting supplies had difficulty moving on rainy days.
Mormont's cavalry team was at the front of the army, and there were several spies at the front.
Report. "The spies rode back to report what was ahead.
"Speak. The lord motioned for the large army to stop, and it was almost time to set up according to the plan.
"The rebels gathered at the front and seemed to be ready. "At this time, the drizzle was falling, and the spies could not see very clearly.
"And how many of them are there?" asked the chief knight.
"It looks like about two hundred. "The spies are often trained, and although there is rain and fog and it is blurry to see the specific situation, from the overall layout, it is absolutely not wrong.
"Oh, that's all out there. The chief knight glanced at the captain, according to their information, the number of rebels was about two hundred, and now these people were gathered on the other side of the valley, and anyone dared to say that there was an ambush above the valley.
"Your Excellency, let's concentrate on the task at hand. The captain looked disdainful, what was there to be proud of. This kind of simple battle plan will not be the same arrangement for letting yourself command.
"Just say a few words and get started. "The lord mediates the conflict between the two, and the great enemy is still so difficult with each other, I really don't know what to say.
"Captain, I hope you are optimistic about the people. The knight turned his horse's head and glanced at Mormont and the captain, and this time he was proud to have the upper hand.
Under the command of the knights, the army was quickly lined up.
The sword and shield men and the archers stand in each other's positions, and the archers shoot and the sword and shield men defend. The cavalry was ready to charge, and the spearmen were the last to sweep the battlefield.
After setting up the formation, the large army began to advance steadily, and gradually the two sides began to meet.
"Fury, it's not too late to surrender. The lord looked at the man opposite, who was the child he once loved, but now he turned against each other and wanted to fight each other on the battlefield. If he surrenders now, the lord will not embarrass him.
"Lord Lord, if you have come this far, let's speak with strength. Fury didn't intend to surrender, if it weren't for the birth of the baby, how could he have worked so hard for so long, and why would he have to start a war to take the throne.
At this point, the lord was discouraged and no longer advised.
"Archers prepare. The knight began to direct the attack.
"Put. As the knight's voice fell, deadly arrows flew out, as did the rebels' arrows.
With the protection of the sword and shield soldiers, most of the arrows were blocked, but some of the less fortunate ones were shot and fell to the ground screaming in pain.
"Ready. "Knights don't give up attacking because a few people have fallen, this is bound to happen on the battlefield, and it's a matter of which side falls first.
"Put. "The second round of arrows met again, and people fell on both sides, and the rebels were clearly more numerically defeated.
After the third round of firing, the rebels seemed to have a situation and began to retreat.
"The enemy is ready to retreat, the cavalry is ready. Seeing such a situation, the chief knight was extremely excited, and he thought that there would be a stalemate for a while, but he didn't expect the winner to be decided so quickly.
"Commander, it seems that the situation is not quite right, they will not be defeated so quickly, right?" Mormont rode after the captain, who was ordered by the captain to guard him, and could not leave a single step.
"They are a rabble, and they must have been frightened in the face of real war. "The military commander didn't think about it so much, even if there was deception in it, he could completely crush the enemy with his numerical superiority.
"Cavalry ready. "The chief knight began to direct the second phase of the attack.
The cavalry pulled in the reins, and it was up to them to break the enemy in one fell swoop.
Mormont had doubts in his heart, but because of the current situation, he had to obey, and could only prepare to charge forward.
"Charge. As soon as the chief knight gave the order, the cavalry rushed forward, followed by spearmen and sword and shield men.
"Rush. "The cavalrymen, armed with swords, slashed at the retreating rebels.
The sound of horses' hooves and roars echoed in the valley for a long time.
"Not good. "After charging for a while, Mormont found a flaw, and the rebels were only feigning to retreat, ready for the cavalry charge.
At this moment, screams were heard from above the valley, and many figures suddenly appeared on both sides and attacked the rear.
"Damn, who are they?" the chief knight looked horrified, he knew that there were only about two hundred rebels, and it was clear that all the rebels were on the opposite side, and who were these people in ambush.
"Protect your lordship. The surrounding guards shouted loudly, and the ambushers were clearly coming towards the lord.
Mormont's old horse could not run at all, and the cavalry charging in front of him had already entered the enemy's ranks, and he was still halfway through.
He looked left and right, thought about it, jumped off his horse, and hurried back on foot to protect the lord.
The number of people in ambush is probably more than 100 people, and all of them have some martial arts, which is much stronger than these militias in the rear.
A large number of militiamen died by the sword, and the safety of the lord was greatly threatened.
The chief knights and guards fought hard to kill the enemy, but unfortunately they were outnumbered, and the charging cavalry was in a difficult situation and could not come back to support, and it was difficult for the archers to exert their due combat effectiveness in such a situation.
The chief knight was stabbed in the chest with a sword in the middle of the fight and fell to the muddy ground.
Mormont killed the crowd with one person and one sword, and found that the lord's throat had also been cut, and the lord was completely defeated in this battle.
The new lord of this land will be Fury.
Mormont was not reconciled and continued to kill the enemy.
He soon discovered that there was something wrong with the origin of these people, as if he had seen them before.
"The lord is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed. Someone shouted loudly, and the sound echoed through the valley for a long time.
Hearing such bad news, the soldiers suddenly lost their fighting spirit and threw down their weapons and fell to their knees.
Mormont was on the edge of the battlefield at this time, and he saw the time to snatch an enemy horse and escape.
While escaping, he saw a man he had seen before.
It turned out that these ambushes were robbers, and Fury actually colluded with them for the sake of status.
