Chapter 43: The Battle to the Death

After Lord Wilhelm turned over on his horse, he took a deep look at the Grand Duke of Wagner, who was held hostage by the enemy, and the tears in his eyes couldn't help but burst out of his eyes. He wiped a handful of tears with the back www.biquge.info of his hand, and then raised his voice with a crying voice: "Everyone get on the horse! I hope you will work with me! Sacrifice your lives to kill the enemy! Leave no enemy in front! Kill without a single enemy!"

"Yes!" all the cavalry obeyed the order in unison, turned over their horses in unison, and under the command of Lord William, drove their horses under their crotches and began to slowly move forward.

Just as Lord William was taking the oath, Leo realized that something was wrong, and he was afraid that Lord William was going to make a desperate bet. Leo immediately ordered everyone to take refuge in the farmland, intending to use the soft soil in the field to slow down the enemy's horses so that everyone could escape.

Although Leo's response was quite effective, and the soft and damp fields made it impossible for the cavalry to speed up their horses, but even so, how could two legs outrun four legs? Seeing the sound of the pursuing horses' hooves getting closer and closer, Leo's heart was crossed, and now he had to abandon the chariot to protect the commander.

Just when Leo was thinking about how to act, Li Zhi, the captain of the left battalion of the beggar army, suddenly shouted loudly: "Brothers, the enemy cavalry is in hot pursuit, and the heart of death will not die.

As soon as Li Zhi's words fell, all the beggar soldiers around him stopped and agreed!

"Begging for life in troubled times! Kill the enemy to survive!" Except for this order of the begging army, all the soldiers of the begging army did not say anything, retreated and bent down to prepare for the attack, and one by one they left life and death behind, and no one was afraid to retreat.

"They're dying! It can't be like this!" Raymond shouted hurriedly when he saw the group of outcasts stop making a fighting move, and then stopped at his feet, intending to turn around to dissuade the beggars, but was grabbed by Cahill, who had been following him, and sped away with his armpits.

Cahill clamped Raymond, who was constantly struggling, and persuaded him: "Master Raymond! They are all here to let us live! Don't make trouble, at least we have to let them die meaningfully!"

Not only Raymond, but even Leo was wiping the corners of his eyes while running, Leo knew that these soldiers of the beggar army were all for himself, the lord who had just been masked, although he was only a soldier summoned from the arena of the gods, but the spirit of sacrificing the self to protect the overall situation of the beggar army made Leo, who had always been indifferent and indifferent, also moved. It also let Leo know that there are not only greedy and selfish people like Professor Hudson in the world, but also people like the beggar army who are willing to throw their heads and spill their blood without fear of life and death.

If Leo, Raymond and others were moved by this behavior of the beggar army, then in the eyes of Lord William, the behavior of the beggar army was extremely shocking. Even Lord William, who grew up in the barracks with Grand Duke Wagner since he was a child, had never seen it, and never even thought that there would be so many people who put their lives and deaths on the line.

Although Lord William's heart was shocked, but he could not hesitate in the hostile side, Lord William raised the long sword in his hand, slashed forward with all his might, and commanded in a loud voice: "Break through the enemy army!"

Following Lord William's orders, the cavalry clamped their horses and drove them forward, while their swords were ready for battle. As the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, when he saw that the body of the horse in front was about to collide with the captain Li Zhi who was blocking the road, suddenly Li Zhi's body flashed to the side, like a Spanish bullfighter, flashed the impact of the war horse, and passed by the cavalry in front. But at the moment when the men and horses were wrong, the war knife in Li Zhi's hand slashed through the neck of the war horse, bringing up a bloody light and accurately blocking the long sword swung by the cavalry, and the weapons of the two collided together, making a loud weapon exchange sound.

Not all beggar soldiers were able to dodge and attack as accurately as Li Xi, and many beggar soldiers chose to face the war horse head-on. Coming from an agricultural country that has been inherited for thousands of years, and having fought many times with the Khitan, Dangxiang and other Hu people, these beggar soldiers are well aware of the weakness of the cavalry with foot soldiers, so their goal is only to hinder the cavalry pursuit rather than crush the cavalry head-on, so they chose ...... Kill the horse!

There are not too many tactical requirements in the combat code of the begging army, except for only two words: sacrifice oneself! Most of the soldiers of the beggar army suddenly stoop on the ground when the enemy horses are close to each other, which can not only avoid the cavalry attack on horseback but also facilitate them to cut off the horse's legs.

For a time, the battle scene between the cavalry team and the beggar army was a group of people on their backs, and the cavalry who fell off their horses found that those homeless people who had not been killed by the horses and flew off continued to pounce on them with devouring eyes.

Lord William, who was in the center of the cavalry, saw that the cavalry in front of him had fallen to the ground, the dead horse corpses and the soldiers on both sides of the fierce battle blocked the way for the cavalry to charge, and many of the cavalry behind were tripped and fell to the ground before they could stop their horses, and were killed by the beggar soldiers who rushed over one after another.

"Disperse to both sides!go around and continue the pursuit!" the anxious Lord William hurriedly ordered. Lord William's reaction was correct, there was already an obstacle in front, and it was difficult for the cavalry behind to cross and only turn, but unfortunately he forgot that this was not a flat grassland, this was a muddy farmland everywhere, and the war horse suddenly turned when it was galloping, and even on flat ground there would be a certain danger, let alone the current situation. Moreover, the Varu Empire is not a country that started on horseback, and the training of cavalry is also more lax than that of other countries in the north of the continent, and the level of horse control of cavalry is far inferior to that of those steppe countries.

Just as the cavalry was following Lord William's order to turn to the sides, the accident happened so naturally, the first horse that had made a sharp turn was slipped by the muddy field, and the cavalry behind were slipped and tripped to the ground one by one like dumplings, and the cavalry team fell into chaos.

Seeing this embarrassing and anxious scene, Lord William's heart almost vomited blood, but who allowed such an order to come from his own mouth? Lord William had no choice but to knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and had no choice but to stop his advance, and first deal with the displaced people who stood in his way.

How could such a once-in-a-lifetime fighter plane be missed by Li Zhi, the captain of the left battalion of the beggar army? Under his command, the remnants of the beggar army rose up one after another and frantically pounced on the fallen cavalry like mad tigers. Not only that, but they didn't forget to stab the fallen horses when they passed by, so as to ensure that the horses could not be picked up and used by the enemy again.

In addition to extreme anger, Lord William also faintly had a hint of jealousy of the beggar army in the dark of his heart.

"All the cavalry march slowly! Surround them, prepare your bows and arrows! Shoot them all, and not one of them will be spared!" Lord William commanded the cavalry to slowly bypass the battleground, and surrounded the beggar army with a large number of people, and some cavalrymen with short bows shot the frantically fighting beggar army one by one, even if the cavalry was accidentally wounded and fell from the horse. The cavalrymen had been frightened by the frenzied fighting methods of the beggars, and refused to engage them in close quarters.

It wasn't until Captain Li Zhi dragged his body full of arrows and feathers to kill the nearest cavalryman and fell to the ground from exhaustion that this beggar army was completely wiped out by Lord William. But Lord William's heart was still pounding, this battle made him mistakenly aware of the huge gap between the Southern Army and the Empire, and that some of the outcasts who followed the minor nobles had caused their cavalry to suffer heavy losses, and what was the combat strength of the aristocratic private army battalion composed of many powerful nobles? It seems that it was really a fluke to be able to defeat the Grizzly Legion for a while!

did not live up to the sacrifice of Li Zhi and the beggar army, Li Ao and the others quickly hid in a farm under the leadership of old Henry, and after a period of scramble disguise, they successfully avoided the investigation of the Southern Army.

At this time, the Southern Army was like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed open, and there were many sentry posts everywhere and patrolling constantly. After a little rest, Leo, Raymond and others did not dare to stay in the south longer, and a local snake like Old Henry came forward and spread a sky-high price to open up many joints, so that Leo and others successfully took the captured Grand Duke Wagner on the return journey back to Rien City.

This return trip is completely different from the mood when I came. On that day, he was framed and forced to sneak into the south to spy on the military situation, and the hesitation in his heart was indescribable. At this moment, not only did he send the military back to the camp smoothly, but he also took the risk of catching the culprit of the southern rebellion, Grand Duke Wagner, and such a great achievement made the pace of the group much easier.

After carefully climbing the mountains and mountains and hiding their tracks for more than ten days, they finally escaped the blockade and tracking of the Southern Army, and successfully drilled out of the Luman Mountains and entered the territory of Lien City.
