(Second watch, very hard to ask for a monthly pass!)

Artoria was very anxious when she saw this, but she couldn't say: "After you broke off, I ran away alone. Such shameless words - after all, she had only learned a little bit from Egil, and she had not learned the shamelessness that Egil had in his bones. However, this is not possible - seeing that the two infantry units of the opposing side, under the command of Her Royal Highness Princess Lilianu, have already detoured to the two flanks, and only need to be entangled by the enemy cavalry for a while, they can complete the encirclement again. At this time, the Norman and Celtic cavalry were sleepy, and they lost nearly half of their cavalry in the previous fierce battle. If they are besieged again, they will all be planted here.

"Your Majesty, take care!"

At the critical moment, the Celts were more loyal - after all, they were troops directly under Artoria, and after shouting like this, one of the cavalry captains gritted his teeth, turned his horse's head and shouted: "Celtic warriors, if you have the courage, follow me!

So dozens of Celtic light cavalry, as well as a dozen Norman melee hussars, and lightly armed archers, responded with a bang. Turning the horse's head, he rushed towards the enemy army hundreds of times larger.

"Lone must remember the exploits of Qing and others! Qing and other parents, wives and children must be born and raised, don't worry!" Artoria shouted through gritted teeth, and then hurried on.

"Hahahaha...... Gentlemen, brothers, come with me to your death!" the captain of the light cavalry laughed, and then shouted as he rushed towards the enemy: "Drag two more Roman dogs to die together, and go to hell to be more lively!"

Immediately after that, the dozens of cavalry laughed wildly, brandished their sabers and rushed towards the Eastern Roman army.

"Get around, leave these guys alone!!, catch up with the enemy's main forces!" Lilianu shouted, but she didn't pay attention to the small number of soldiers.

However, the Celtic cavalry did not see it that way, and they roared and charged at the Eastern Roman army.

"Bow and arrow!"

Since Lilianu did not take these enemies seriously, she would not continue to command, but the heart was ordering the first few Cossack leaders, as well as the leader of the nomadic cavalry, and then a round of bows and arrows passed, and the opposite cavalry leaned down as much as possible, and protected their heads with cavalry round shields, but it was still inevitable that nearly half of the cavalry were shot off their horses, and a few of them still breathed, I don't know if their arms were broken or their legs were broken, lying on the ground and wailing, and then they were replenished by the Eastern European coalition forces with a few arrows, and finally did not move.

However, a dozen cavalrymen rushed into the Eastern Roman formation, brandishing sabers and slashing wildly. Although the number of people was too small to use such a powerful tactic as the dense formation of hussars. However, compared with the steppe nomadic cavalry, these regular light cavalry are still superior in bravery, and the systematic knife skills and riding skills are also much stronger than the wild roads that the steppe nomadic cavalry has figured out by themselves. The hussars were able to kill the nomadic cavalry array of nearly a thousand men with one enemy or even more—at this moment, this cavalry team, which originally had more than forty people, now only thirteen remained. Nine of them were Norman melee hussars and four were Celtic hussars.

"Charge!" a melee hussar reached out and quickly wiped a handful of blood splattered on the enemy's face. He turned his face extremely hideous, and then he dodged the scimitar of a nomadic cavalryman, and then raised his shield to withstand the attack of another nomadic cavalry on the other side, but in the end he was attacked by a third nomadic cavalry in the back - the composite leather armor on his body saved his life and neutralized most of the attacks, and the nomad cavalry's scimitar only cut through the last layer of skin.

The hussar was in pain, and then launched a counterattack, and the horse swung forward with a knife to the nomadic cavalry on the right, and at the same time blocked the attack of the nomadic cavalry on the left, the knife was fast and urgent, and the nomadic cavalry had no time to block and dodge, and was directly cut off by the head. Immediately afterwards, the hussar smashed a shield on the face of the nomad on the left, shattering the shield along with the bridge of his nose, and then the hussar with a bloody face glared and turned around, making the nomadic cavalry behind him tremble and not dare to continue to attack......

"Charge, keep charge, my brothers!

The hussars shouted loudly, and the other six companions responded, and then rushed towards the other side, Her Royal Highness Princess Lilianu, who was under the protection of the Royal Guards, to be precise, the Roman Eagle Banner carried by the Royal Guards beside Her Royal Highness.

"Kill them! Hurry up! Damn it, are those filthy herdsmen idiots? There are a thousand of them, but they are penetrated by dozens of Normans, why don't they die?!" the princess scolded angrily.

In this way, the good fortune of the hussars seemed to have run out. After another round of arrows from the Eastern Roman archers, only one creature with several arrows stuck in his body, but who didn't seem to be hurt, could continue to stand. However, after the second round of bows and arrows, the unfortunate lucky man was also shot and fell to the ground like a hedgehog. The allied forces of Eastern Rome and Eastern Europe were able to move on. In total, these forty or so cavalry gave Artoria almost five minutes.

"Quick, they won't be able to escape!" Lilianu ordered.

Indeed, at this moment, it seemed that the wound was beginning to worsen, and although the two sleeves were torn and the calf and the back of the chest were simply bandaged—it was nice to have a flat chest, and Artoria would have thought so only then—but the faint pain in the wound, and the gradual wetting of the wound, proved that her condition might not have been good if it had not been treated further and more rationally.

The small number of His Royal Highness troops bought the Queen and Queen five minutes. However, Artoria felt that if she continued like this, she might die like this.

"Damn it. Artoria tugged at the reins of her horse, stopped, and looked around, and saw a wooded area that looked steep, with only one side being a hill suitable for travel.

"Let's go there and hold on - you guys, get out, go to Kyiv to find Egil, tell him I'm here waiting for him to save me!"

Artoria quickly made the decision to stay on the sidelines. and waited for Egil to come to her rescue—but because she had traveled so far north, she didn't know where she was now. And how far from Kyiv is also not very clear. I don't know what would happen if Egil couldn't find her......

A few hussars nodded, and ran in the southeast direction. Artoria watched the cavalry leave, and then led the remaining two hundred cavalry to climb halfway up the mountain. Immediately after that, I felt a wave of dizziness. He lowered his head and gasped for breath as he leaned on the hilt of his sword.

"Don't let up!"

After a moment's pause, Artoria shouted, "The enemy may soon catch up." Soldiers, be vigilant, set up your positions first!"

As soon as Artoria had shouted this, the hussars and light cavalry sprang into action, cutting and breaking some of the vegetation and trees with their hands and knives to form barricades, and collecting some stones for the garrison. Holding on to his wounds, Artoria assigned the remaining 214 cavalrymen a task, and the soldiers stood in groups at various mountain passes, while the horses were gathered on the top. After cleaning up, the soldiers ate a few more mouthfuls of dry food, dried meat, and drank some water. Sit on the ground and start resting, waiting for the enemy to attack.

In fact, the Eastern Roman army soon arrived. And soon the hill was discovered.

"It's not easy to attack on the back. Why don't you attack with fire?" asked a Roman general next to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"What if you are burned?" replied Her Royal Highness the Princess, who drew her sword and shouted, "Soldiers, attack! Victory is ours! Catch that woman, catch her, and the promise made by this palace will still be valid!"

Wealth touches people's hearts. When the Eastern Roman army heard its own crown prince's promise, they responded one by one, and thousands of infantry rushed towards the hill - but this mountain pack was not very large, as said before, and thousands of troops could not use it at all, and on one side there was a ravine, which seemed to be not easy to pass, and on the other two sides there were steep slopes of at least seventy degrees, which were basically impossible to climb. There was only one side, the side where Artoria went up with the army, and it was possible to walk, but it was hidden by trees and overgrown with weeds, and it was impossible to go fast.

And there is only one beast path on this mountain. Previously, Artoria's army had taken this road, which was relatively wide and could barely be walked even by cavalry, but it was the focus of the Norman-Celtic defense. It had already been blocked by heavy branches and branches, and there were hundreds of Normans on it, and the Celtic soldiers arranged stone bows and crossbows to wait, waiting for the Eastern Roman soldiers to attack, and then threw stones and arrows to beat him dog......

In the other mountain passes, there are also a few places where you can go up the mountain. But it's steeper and steeper than the beast path, and there are a few places where it's okay, and a few places that require the ability of a rock climber, and if you're not careful, you'll fall down, and it's not that your bones are gone, but it's certain that you're going to be torn apart......

However, at this moment, for the sake of the heavy reward promised by Her Royal Highness Princess Lilianu, in order to become a master, in order to marry a hundred concubines and drink the wine exported by Norman all day long, the Eastern Roman soldiers and steppe herdsmen could not care so much......
