Chapter Twenty-Eight: Breakthrough

"No—even if you can keep your life like this, you'll be opened by this bastard priest. Egil thought so, and then gritted his teeth and shouted, "Break through!" At this time, there was no need for his order, and the other nobles also understood what was going on. didn't care about continuing to snatch the spoils and heads, so he turned the horse's head and advanced in the enemy formation with great difficulty.

And yet it's difficult - very difficult. The large number of cavalry gathered together became the target of the opposing side's ranged troops. Although the archers in the United Kingdom were not professional and were not equipped with compound bows, the angular bows in the hands of the archers were not very lethal. Unless you are too unlucky to be shot through the throat by an arrow. Otherwise, he would not have died—but this time, Egil had discovered the horror of the opposing Javelinmen.

The Polish aristocratic javelinmen were each armed with two heavy javelins - on horseback, with the kinetic energy of the horse's forward charge, which could be thrown forty or fifty meters away. And the powerful javelin, although it has limited lethality against the plate armor of the Guards Knights, can easily pierce the chain armor. The Norman royal knights in the composite armor of the plate chain were a little better - but the tomahawk cavalry were not immune, not to mention the other knights who were not as well equipped as the tomahawk cavalry.

Egil calculated that the cavalry was not very fast because of the same heavy equipment, and that the opponent had to charge forward and throw javelins. There is still a pause - if you take advantage of this moment to rush forward, you will definitely be able to bite the other party. After that, hand-to-hand combat can begin - but.

This is when the other side has no other troops to cooperate.

In addition to nearly a thousand heavily armed javelin cavalry, the opponent also had a large number of nomadic light cavalry - although the bows and arrows of those light cavalry did little damage to the knights - but these fierce nomads from the steppes of Eastern Europe were extremely tough in hand-to-hand combat with sabers at close range. Although they were equipped with the most leather armor than the heavily armed knights under Egil's command, in fact, most of them were fur-robed nomads, who were not even scum. But the bravery of the guys, the skill of the man, the courage to die, and most importantly, the damn number of these guys, made it impossible for the Norman knights to break through the obstacles they had created for a while.

At the same time, as soon as he turned around, he saw a large number of shield spearmen behind him forming a shield wall and slowly approaching. The Polish knights, on the other hand, formed several wedge-shaped formations. Ping raised his rifle and began to charge his own side.

Damn it. It won't go on like this. Even if you can successfully break through. It is also very likely that the other party will follow behind and then collapse your own military camp. If that's the case, you'll be a big joke. Egil bit his lower lip vigorously, biting directly into his lip without realizing it.

system, turn on.

Well, the system won't open.

Originally, Egil thought very well, exchanging a general in the system, and then let him be born in his own camp, and let him bring soldiers to save him. However, perhaps because of the passage of time, Egil has forgotten many system settings, such as: in battle, only the tactical interface can be opened, and the strategic interface cannot be opened.

In other words, Egil's idea didn't work at all.

"Damn- I'm going to die if you don't help! bastard- can you hear me?!" So Egir began to summon the system elf Aurora in his heart.

"Cut, use it when you can use it, and ignore it when you don't need it. You're such a heartless bastard. "Maybe it's because it's been a long time lately, because Egil is already familiar with the system setup. So the number of questions to the system sprite is getting less and less. So Aurora was so angry that she ignored him for a long time. During this period of time, the enemy's encirclement was strengthened a lot, and many of the conscripted militiamen who had fled before saw the dawn, and some of them were more courageous and ran back. After that, he joined the war.

Seeing the crisis, Egil's mood was not very good: "You should know the current situation, right?!"

"That's right, I've been watching you by your side. ”

“...... Don't say it so disgustingly. Egil was a little speechless: "Then hurry up - do me a favor and let me open the system strategy interface." It only takes five minutes. ”

"You seem to have misunderstood. Aurora said, "I don't have the ability to directly manipulate the system, and I'm just an auxiliary staff member after all. You can change the system settings, so you can't do what you fill in. ”

“...... Damn, isn't there anything I can do? If I die, you won't be well!"

"Cut, who are you scaring about?" Aurora still looked indifferent, perhaps really seeing that Egil was angry and still had to continue to command the army, and chatted with her while commanding the army, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Then I'll find another year to sign a contract with him." ”

"I'm sure! no one else can do me as well!"

“...... Well, it makes sense, there aren't many people in your world who are as heartless as you. If you find an ordinary person casually, most of them will feel sorry for themselves for a while, be extremely excited for a while, suffer from gains and losses for a while, work hard for a while, relax for a while, evolve for a while, blacken for a while, be confused for a while, and have an epiphany for a while...... Cut, there is such a waste of time, it is better to change the army of millions to unify the European continent. ”

"So—"

So you should ask for more blessings. No way, no way. ”

"-Rubbish!"

"Tell me about yourself?!"

So Egil gave up on the idea of getting help from the system elves. It looks like you're still on your own......

At this moment, the knights who were trapped in the siege had completely lost their mobility, and Egil could see that most of the guys were coming for him - the white bird banner on a blue background held high in the hands of the knight of the guard next to him was the best target. But it's not enough to throw this away - if you do, then the morale of the army will definitely drop a lot all at once, or even collapse directly.

Well, break out by yourself, and then find rescuers to come back to help, this is not a matter of thinking - and then look at the knights of the guards next to you, it seems that no one will take the initiative to stand up and pretend to be their own...... Well, even if it were, Egil didn't have time to change his clothes...... Well, even if there is time to change clothes...... The armor on your sister's body is completely one style, and it has changed and not changed the concept.

Then, if you don't want to go out, let others break out, and then move the rescuers back. Egil thought backwards.

This man must have enough prestige and command - at least not to bring tens of thousands of troops into the ditch.

Suddenly, Egil had a good candidate: his Archbishop Peter. Enough status. As a special person, the archbishop also has five points of domination, and six points of virtue and surname, which is not a bad surname. The most important thing is that if he is gone, no one will give him a stick when he wants to surrender - yes, he is it.

Immediately afterwards, Egil quickly shook the archbishop's hand: "The survival of the kingdom is at stake, Bishop, I hope - no, I order you to lead your subordinates to break through the siege, and I will also support your group of knights. Go back to the barracks, and then rush over with as many people as you can, please!"

"But, but in this case, Your Majesty, no, the matter of breaking through is still left to Your Majesty. Stay here below!" was said by Egil with affection, and the other party also seemed very moved. Tears almost fell.

"No! As a king, my soldiers are still fighting bravely to kill the enemy, so what is the matter with me fleeing alone? If I leave, then the morale of the army will surely collapse!

“...... I understand it below. The chief priest, Peter, finally couldn't hold back, leaving two old tears: "I just crowned Your Majesty last year...... Your Majesty, take care, and go down and come back. ”

Although this parting was particularly uncomfortable for Egil - and the subject was a bad old man over sixty years old. But Egil nodded emotionally. Then he shouted loudly: "Everyone, escort the chief priest out of the siege!"

The surrounding Norman knights roared, lifted their spirits, and led the chief priest Peter to break through the siege. At the same time, Egil also ordered the knights of the guard to hold high the banner of the white bird on a blue background and charge in the other direction, and the other party's attention was all focused on the knights of Egil, and the main force moved in the direction of Egil, and did not take Peter's one or two hundred knights to heart. In this way, the chief priest was in danger, and he stood out of the siege with great difficulty.

Seeing that cavalry was gone, Egil breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted the formation again, expanded the range of movement of the knights again, and at the same time personally rushed to the front line, leading the knights of the guard to kill the enemy. Despite a night of fierce fighting. But the spirit of the knights of the Guard was still unusually strong. Even it boosted the morale of the other knights. After that, Egil unleashed the skill Hades Scream, which further reduced the combat effectiveness of the United Kingdom's army. Despite Władysław's repeated urgings to step up the attack, it was to no avail.

Seeing that the situation on the battlefield was easing, Egil breathed a sigh of relief and calculated that he would almost be able to hold out until reinforcements arrived. I was glad that I had passed another level. Then he said to himself: "Next, it's just waiting." ”

"If you wait until the last moment when reinforcements arrive, you hang up, it's a god's work. ”

"Die!"
