Chapter 43: The Battle of the New King's Army (1)
King Arthur's benevolent decision made the requisition very difficult. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The townspeople who were concerned about Finn delayed the requisition of food, and at the same time ate what they could eat what they could keep, and what they could not eat was to burn it or throw it away, but not to leave it for the British army who had come from afar.
The poor soldiers, under the supervision of the knights, were forced to nibble on moldy wheat cakes every day, and it was very unpleasant to watch these defeated men drink and eat meat. By the 21st of July, neither the knight's power nor Arthur's admonition could stop the soldiers, who had not even had enough meat to eat, and they rushed into the townspeople's homes to take the food that was rightfully their own. King Arthur's promise became worthless at this point, and the wealthy men who were in a state of hesitation hurriedly destroyed the supplies they had intended to hand in.
The knights of the Order, in this reasonable mutiny in robes, could only do not coerce the lady and did their best to protect her. The mutiny lasted for three days, and on the fourth day, when the fourth group of mobs of the indecent ladies were publicly executed, the entire town was almost in ruins. The restoration of discipline and the physical strength of the knights delayed the promotion of the Order for a few more days.
On the 27th day of the seventh month of the Kowloon calendar, on the same day as the decisive battle between Lee Chenglong and Mona in the west, on the plain between the city of Avalon and the town of Bray, Finn met with an army of 60,000 and less than 30,000 British troops who had gone north.
The Fiona Warriors had more than a dozen warriors and nearly 300 leading soldiers on the side, while King Arthur had only 50 Knights of the Round Table and more than 100 ordinary knights, and the rest were ordinary soldiers.
The reality faced by King Arthur is that his side is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of both the average number of high-end combat power and the morale of the grassroots soldiers, and if he chooses to stick to his own side without supplies, he will collapse without a fight. It was the first time Arthur had encountered such a predicament since she came into this world, and a trace of remorse rose in her heart at the thought that her subjects would die in large numbers after the war.
Looking at the row of seven knight heroes on the opposite side, and then looking at his own side, counting the son of the bard, there are only four heroes, if it weren't for the fact that there are a few grandmaster-level warriors in the regiment, the Druid Elders may promise that at least one Grand Druid will lead the team to support, and Finn would want to lead the army to retreat to Avalon City.
In order to prevent the cavalry units hiding in the woods from being discovered, Finn did not have a conversation with Artoria at all, and directly ordered the whole army to attack.
King Arthur, who had hoped to obtain permission to rule Avalon for a short time without bloodshed, undoubtedly chose the former between ordering a charge and crushing himself without a fight. At the front of the formation were three rows of knights, with Bose in the center and Tristan and Ranmaroke on either side, and the sound of horses' hooves made the battle howls on the opposite side much quieter. Looking at the knights in heavy armor in front of them, the miscellaneous soldiers in the first few rows regained a lot of confidence.
In place of Arthur, Percival commanded the miscellaneous troops other than the knights, Geraint guarded King Arthur's side, and Dagnet, the most disrespected, walked at the end of the line to motivate the timid soldiers with words and shouts.
The distance between the two armies is constantly pulling, one hundred meters, eighty meters, sixty meters, the knights began to prepare for the charge, fifty meters as the knight's horse speed has been raised, seeing that they will be able to harvest the infantry in front of them immediately.
Finn's main force of Fiona was an all-in-one infantry unit, and in order to deal with the heavy cavalry, the first row of the army formation was composed of Celtic marksmanship, and the second row hid a large number of warrior leaders and heavy javelinmen. When the two sides crossed the 50-meter cordon, Finn raised his right hand and shouted, "Hoid!"
The elite orders of the first few rows of Fiona's army were forbidden, the marksmans of the first platoon bowed slightly and prepared to fight the cavalry, the soldiers of the second and third platoons began to shoot rapidly if they had throwing weapons, and the soldiers of the third and fourth platoons took the extra-long spears that were originally dragged by three or four people into their hands, and set up the spears at a forty-five degree angle.
Under the dense fire of iron-headed javelins, nearly half of the knights lost their lives because of this way of fighting against chivalry, and they used their own blood to mock the enemy who used vile means, and restrained themselves with reason and never flinched and feared, and kept the last glory. The knights who survived long-range attacks did not harvest their lives as freely as they did against the Viking Circle, which was dominated by shield axemen.
Blessed with the epic sung by the top bard in the center of the formation, the soldiers had no idea what fear was, and launched a general charge faster than ever.
The moment the two armies came into contact, they formed a form of interlaced teeth.
Bose swung his fiery sword into Fiona's army like a sharp knife, and the effect of the magic-level group panic spell attached to the Britannian sword called the Broken Sword overshadowed the singing of the Xiang. Both the grandmaster and the high-ranking warriors fled in the wilderness, and only a few strong people with a heart as hard as iron were not affected by this fear.
On the west side of the battlefield, Oscar brandished a weighted and lengthened gauntlet sword and also rushed headlong into the British army's formation, blocking the enemies in the way, whether it was a real knight of the round table or a lightly armored peasant soldier, the sharp giant sword would be split in half in an instant, bathed in the blood of the enemy, Oscar became more and more courageous, and after his eyes turned completely red, the enemies around him looked at him and felt as if he was facing a deep sea troll.
Fiona's other sharper knife, the great Celtic guardian Finn McCool, didn't even need to let the spear sword in his hand be stained with blood, just the few grandmaster-level warriors following behind him and the two beast-level hounds in front of him, Bran and Theolan, had already left him without a living enemy for three meters.
Less than an hour after the battle began, although the cavalry spears of Ranmarok were unstoppable on the westernmost side of the battlefield, the warriors on the west side were also the bravest under the special care of the prime minister; Tristan, who was good at lyrical poetry on the easternmost side, could not effectively boost the morale of his own side, but in essence, the Fiona army on the east side gave up the pursuit of the British army that was about to collapse under the absolute superiority, and the two sides formed a discordant and peaceful confrontation situation on this battlefield.
Although a large number of soldiers fled from the front line, Daganit, who was at the end of the army, helped Britain achieve miraculous zero combat attrition with his exclusive stunt King-given Joker and outstanding eloquence. Whether or not the warriors will flee back immediately, as long as they run to a place where Daganit's roar can be heard, their pride will be aroused, and they will turn around and return to the battlefield.
The battle continued until this time, and both sides had almost run out of medium and long-range weapons. After Artoria lifted the Wind King's barrier and took Geraint to wipe out hundreds of Fiona soldiers, including seven warriors, at once, the format of the war was reversed under the professional dispatch of Parcival and before Daganette was exhausted to death by the consumption of skills.
In the final analysis, the hero of this world is the protagonist, as long as the hero does not die, how many miscellaneous soldiers will be slowly grinded to death.
