Section 41 Confrontation
One of the infantry of Viscount Donna's brigade was too aggressive to defend, and after a round of baptism of spears, only half remained, and just as they were in shock, a dense line of spears suddenly stabbed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The remaining officers shouted: "Hurry, hurry, new formation!" but the formation formed was completely vulnerable, and in the end less than 300 people withdrew.
Sente took it when he saw that it was good, and did not pursue, and the enemy's follow-up troops had already arrived, perhaps because they had just seen the big losses suffered by their own troops, so they all raised their long shields in advance, and the speed of their advance was much slower.
"Who was in command of that brigade just now?" Viscount Donna's face was grim.
Sir Karl stepped out of the queue and fell to one knee: "I'm very sorry!Viscount Donna, I'm my son!" a look of pain flashed in his eyes.
Viscount Donna was stunned for a moment, looked at Sir Karl with a frown, and then said: "Forget it, everyone is already dead anyway!
Sir Karl quickly stood up and stepped aside, and few of the nobles around him stepped forward to comfort him.
Viscount Donna led a group of nobles and guards to a high ground, where they could look around the entire battlefield, Viscount Donna looked at the strict front on the east bank and couldn't help but praise: "The enemy's arrangement is very in place, I can't help it!"
"But he's not attacking enough!, we don't have to worry!" one nobleman commented.
Another nobleman frowned: "If we fight like this, we can't tell the winner, the enemy army can easily establish a strong defense line on the river bankline, then our camp is completely on the enemy's sword, and the final result is that our camp is forced to retreat, if this is the case, I don't think there is any need to fight this battle again!"
The nobleman was very reasonable.
"If I were the commander of the other side, I would definitely not want to give up such a good opportunity, and I would definitely increase my troops!" Sir Carr recovered.
Viscount Donna snorted coldly: "I'm afraid that they won't increase their troops, how is the arrangement?"
Sir Karl hurriedly bowed: "It's been arranged!"
Gray's current situation is just like the nobleman said, it is really very uncomfortable, he can only defend, not attack. Now there are two paths in front of him, is it to establish a defensive line after holding the position steadily, or to seize the opportunity to break the opponent with one blow?
The former method is relatively stable, and the latter is a collision of strengths! It stands to reason that Gray's cautious personality should choose a safe method, but he doesn't want to lose this opportunity! The opportunity on the battlefield is fleeting, and Gray knows that he can't hesitate any longer.
The decisive battle only depends on the timing, not the time, Gray suddenly thought of this sentence, he immediately made a decision, and immediately asked the Earl of Lockton for reinforcements.
Mark went himself, and he hurried as quickly as he could to the main tent of the Earl of Lockton.
"Oh, a decisive battle now?" the Earl of Lockton was stunned, and then he walked briskly out of his main tent, followed by a group of people who were hurrying towards the highest watchtower in the camp.
Standing on the watchtower, with an unobstructed view of the battlefield in front of him, Earl Lockton's eyes lit up: "Sir Gray's battle line is well arranged, but because of the lack of troops, he lacks the ability to take the initiative to attack!"
As soon as the words fell, an older nobleman continued: "But we don't have to rush to attack now, as long as we occupy that position and establish a defensive line, we will advance slowly, plus a little advantage in our troops, the chances of victory will be greater!"
"Look! another enemy team is leaving!" shouted one of the nobles at once.
When the knight of Jerk had recovered his form, he had been guarding the Earl of Lockton as the captain of his own guard, and when he saw this, he immediately said: "This is the reserve of the enemy!
"Where are the enemy's cavalry units?" asked the Earl of Lockton.
A guard tower soldier who was squeezed into the corner, after being pushed out by a group of nobles, pointed to the two wings of the opposite front: "They have been looking for fighters on both flanks of the troops!"
The Earl of Lockton raised his eyebrows, and he couldn't see it very clearly, only a large force moving quickly.
"Knight Jerk, your camp defense is well arranged!" Earl Lockton suddenly complimented the Knight of Jerk on the fortifications of the camp.
The Yeke knight was also stunned, and then replied: "At the beginning, our forces were limited, so we could only use our geographical advantage to set traps everywhere!"
While everyone was confused, the Earl of Lockton said to Mark, "Go back and tell Sir Grey that reinforcements will arrive soon!"
The order was quickly delivered.
"Viscount Donna! look!" Sir Karl kept an eye on the East Coast barracks.
Hearing this, Viscount Donna immediately looked in the direction that Sir Karl was pointing, and when he saw the movement of the military camp on the east bank, his eyes suddenly lit up, "They want a decisive battle?"
"No one can refuse this temptation, they want to use their current slight advantage in strength to gradually expand the battle line, so that we can mess up our position!" a nobleman frowned, he did not understand why Viscount Donna was so happy!
"Relax, guys! we won't fail!" Viscount Donna clutched the hilt of his sword hanging from his waist, his heart beating rapidly, his eyes motionless as he stared at the moving army on the east bank.
As the reinforcements of the Earl of Lockton passed through the middle of the river, Viscount Donner suddenly burst out laughing, and he raised his voice: "Everyone, victory is ours!"
With that, Viscount Donna nodded to Sir Karl, who knowingly took out a magic whistle from his bosom and blew it.
......
Gray always felt that something was wrong, and when he saw his brigade of cavalry troops crossing the river, he finally reacted, and the enemy cavalry troops had not appeared from the beginning!
It's always been a two-wing activity? What the hell is this?
Suddenly, Gray had a bad premonition in his heart! However, it was at this time that the piercing magic whistle suddenly remembered, and the piercing sound was blowing very rhythmically, obviously some kind of code!
Gray knew that this was not a signal from his side, and secretly said in his heart: Not good. Immediately, Gray turned his head to look, only to see a large force of cavalry emerging from a high ground on the right side of his camp after the magic whistle blew, and several square infantry next to him!
Just as Gray was shocked, the two cavalry brigades that had already reached the west bank instantly turned around and ran towards the north bank, very fast, as if they had been agreed in advance.
"What's going on?" Gray froze.
Mark smiled bitterly and said, "This is the arrangement of the Earl, don't you notice that their formation across the river is a bit strange?
Gray was stunned for a moment, and said to himself: I see. The cavalry marching formation he also felt just now looked very awkward, it turned out that all this had been arranged by the Earl a long time ago!
Gray was a little bitter in his heart, and he made up his mind: "Order the two knights, Pula and Sente, not to entangle with the enemy, and immediately shrink the line and hold this line!"
The herald gets the order and leaves immediately!
Looking at the changes in the battlefield below, the smile on the face of Viscount Donna on the high ground suddenly dissipated, and now the nobles around him can be considered to know the plans of their lord.
"It seems that the Earl of Lockton has a plan for a long time!" one of them could not help but speak, and then he said secretly: Not good!
Viscount Donna only snorted coldly, obviously he was not in the mood to pay attention to these little things now.
