After hearing his daughter's report, the Count of Morloll immediately made a decision and carried out this plan.

Under the command of Count Morloll, all the Middlesex soldiers sprang into action, some of them looking for suitable timber for making stakes, while others were conducting emergency training under the command of Aven.

Delores was not idle, and she returned to London herself, hoping to come with backups.

The Kent reacted much faster than expected. In just four or five days, Evan was summoned by the Count of Morol to consult. The Earl of Morloll told Evan that the Kents knew they had been tricked and were speeding back.

According to the scouts, I don't know why, the speed of the Kentish march this time was terrifying, not only the foot was much faster, but the number of rests on the road was also much reduced.

Ai Wen didn't care when he heard it, in his experience, speed and fatigue are positively correlated, the faster the speed, the faster the soldier is tired, like the Kent people in a continuous high-intensity march, the initial physical strength of the battle is the red legs, and his side is full of green legs, how can he win the fight.

However, for the sake of insurance, Evan still suggested that the Earl of Morol immediately send someone to recall Deloris from London, although in just a few days, there will not be many soldiers, but it is better than nothing.

Delores, who was far away in London, was stunned for a moment after receiving the news, she never thought that the enemy would react in such a quick time, and her recruitment work in London had been progressing slowly, and she was still far from her goal in mind.

In desperation, Deloris had to lead the fifty soldiers she had just recruited to hurry to the front line to join the main force.

While Deloris and the Kent were running wildly on the road, Evan was directing the soldiers to lay the obstacles at the intersection for final training.

Seeing the horses being placed neatly, Ai Wen's heart also relaxed a little, these heavy wooden horses needed at least six soldiers to lift, and it was almost impossible to move in the chaotic hand-to-hand combat.

After the rejection of the horse, there were rows of conscripts, and it was ironic that most of the conscripts in the Middle Ages were holding production tools such as pitchforks and long-handled hammers, which were used to match the rejection of horses, and the effect was surprisingly good, and there was no sense of contradiction between the two.

The elite soldiers with round shields were placed in the gap between the horses, and in order to prevent the defense line from being breached, Aven set up a three-layer infantry line.

In the middle, it is composed of knights who dismounted and fought on foot and a small number of levies, forming an arc front. If you look down from the sky, the entire line of defense arranged by Ai Wen just forms a "凵" shape, like a pocket that has been opened, waiting for the enemy to take the bait.

In the end, the Count of Morol gathered all the crossbowmen from the various barons to form a unified crossbow regiment, which was arranged on the high ground not far away.

In the end, Evan left thirty soldiers as a reserve to support the various places at all times.

At this time, the Earl of Morol also made a bold statement, any soldier who killed an enemy would be rewarded with a silver coin, a Kent nobleman would be rewarded with a gold coin, and a captured Kent nobleman would be rewarded with ten gold coins.

Once the war is won, all soldiers are rewarded with ten more silver coins and are even exempted from paying taxes for one year.

Ai Wen looked at the excited soldiers, and shook his head slightly, there will be brave men under the heavy reward, and the ancients will not deceive me.

The Great Qin Empire was able to win the Six Kingdoms, and the military merit system played a significant role. In the future, you may be able to refer to it and formulate a similar system, but you need to take into account the disadvantages of the military merit system.

One morning, Delores finally arrived at the camp with reinforcements, and then the sentry brought the latest information, and the Kent were only half a day's way from the camp.

The Count of Morol immediately ordered a fire to be made and cooked, and when the soldiers had eaten their fill, he led his army to the predetermined defensive position. Evan made one last adjustment to the formation at the right time, allowing the original reserve to join the infantry positions on the left and right flanks to replenish the numbers.

Count Morol also made the decision to shock everyone, and he himself would join the central line with the lord's guard, and fend off the enemy attack with the cavalry.

The command of the battle was left entirely to Deloris and Aven, and everyone obeyed their orders. Establish Delores' prestige? Evan realized.

In the afternoon, a large cloud of smoke appeared at the end of the trail, and Kent soldiers loomed in the smoke. Everyone's hearts sank, knowing that the angry Kent had finally arrived.

"Aven, I'm going to leave it to you. I'm ......" Delores stuttered a little nervously when she first went to war.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this for you." Evan nodded, and took a few steps forward, calmly watching the Kent army coming from afar.

Seeing that there were defenders ahead, the Kent army gradually slowed down and slowly listened. King Kent immediately saw Aven on horseback and staying behind, and immediately scolded, almost greeting Evan's ancestors and relatives for eighteen generations.

"Your Majesty, why bother with words, we are each our own master. Isn't it right for me to deceive you?" Ai Wen sneered, his face full of disdain, "Your Majesty will retreat now, there is still a possibility of survival, otherwise you will die here."

The king of Kent would abandon the land that was close at hand, and immediately ordered his soldiers to attack.

"Wait, Your Majesty. You look at the soldiers around you, all panting and sweating, where there is still extra energy to fight. Since you are going to fight, you are to fight fairly, and I will allow you to rest for a quarter of an hour to regain your strength, and in the meantime I will not let the soldiers attack you. In a quarter of an hour, we will go to war again, lest you be captured by me, and find an excuse to shirk your responsibility."

King Kent was stunned when he heard this, originally he thought that Aven would definitely attack when his army was exhausted, but he didn't expect the latter to say such a thing, but Aven had deceived him before, which made him a little afraid, for fear that he would be attacked again.

"All the soldiers took three steps back. Kill without permission!" Ignoring the King of Kent's reaction, Evan directly ordered all the soldiers on all fronts to retreat.

This order really baffled the Barons of Middlesex, and many of them began to talk to each other. But when they saw that the Count of Morol also retreated according to the order, they did not mutter, and retreated honestly.

Looking at the retreating army, Ai Wen's heart also fell to the ground, although he had also trained before, but he was still frightened, for fear that anything would go wrong.

However, fortunately, under the pressure of the elite soldiers, the levies did not run around, so there was no chaos. Seeing that Middlesex's army had retreated, leaving some distance to be vacated, the King of Kent finally reassured, and he immediately ordered his soldiers to rest in place.

A quarter of an hour later, Evan immediately ordered all the soldiers to return to their positions. At the same time, the king of Kent also urged his soldiers to attack, hoping to break through the defensive line set by Evan as soon as possible.

The crowded Kent soldiers crowded the trail and crowded scenes, which reminded Evan of the National Palace Museum in Taipei and Sun Moon Lake and the beach in Kenting on holidays, which seemed to be similar to the current scene, full of people.

"Shoot the arrows!" In the face of the crowd charge of the Kent army, Evan did not hesitate and immediately ordered the crossbow corps to release arrows.

According to their previous training, the crossbowmen picked up their worst crossbows and shot arrows at the Kents. The sparse arrows could not inflict damage on the scale of the Kent soldiers, and some of the crossbow arrows fell to the ground without even reaching the Kent soldiers.

The Kent soldiers, who had heard the arrows, saw that the Essex crossbow arrows were not lethal, and immediately became emboldened and charged forward desperately.

The King of Kent, who was standing in the back, watched this scene in amazement, laughed uncontrollably, and immediately waved his hand at the nearby soldiers. Amid the urging and scolding of the elite soldiers, the last group of Ken Characteristic recruits were also forced to charge.

Due to the lack of crossbow arrows, the soldiers on both sides quickly engaged in close combat. It's just that Ken asked the recruits to quickly find out the problem, and under the resistance of the horses, they were unable to break through the enemy's defense line at all.

If you force your way over the horse, you will only be besieged by several enemy soldiers and turned into a dead body. As a last resort, Ken asked the recruits to choose to attack the gap between the horses, but they were all defended by elite shield-wielding Middlesex soldiers, and they couldn't break through for a while.

Unable to break through the defenders' lines on the left and right, Ken's troops in front tried to stop, but a steady stream of charging soldiers from behind pushed them forward to the middle of the Middlesex defenders' line.

Not only was there no obstacle to rejecting horses, but the defenders looked sparsely numerous. Ken's recruits chose this as a point of attack.

However, it was guarded by dismounted knights and their servants, not to mention the Earl of Middlesex, Morlor, and his lord's guard.

Ai Wen in the rear only glanced twice, and he didn't pay attention to the attack and defense of the middle front. Foot knights wearing helmets, chain mail, and armed with swords and shields were no different from slaughter against levies.

Many of the Ken Drafts found out about the problem and shouted loudly, wanting to retreat away from these elite knights, but the recruits behind were still rushing forward.

At this time, Ken's conscripts were like small fish in a tsunami, carried by the sea and washed up to land to meet their doomsday.

"Ballistas, shoot arrows at the enemy!" With Evan giving the order again, the crossbowmen picked up their strongbows at their feet and shot arrows at the crowded Ken Signature.

The ragged and unprotected levies fell to the arrows, and as Evan had expected, the crossbowmen didn't need to take aim at all, and almost every arrow could kill a Ken Recruit.

The sudden arrow system made Ken's recruits chaotic, and many people bent down one after another, trying to avoid the attack of the arrows, and many even covered the bodies of the dead soldiers in front of them with arrows on their heads, trying to dodge the arrows that kept flying in the sky as much as possible.

But then, in the face of a frontal assault by the Middlesex soldiers, these Ken recruits became mobile purses, falling to the onslaught of swords and spears.

"Bastards, it's all rubbish! All of them will need to defeat the enemy. Anything backwards, kill!"

Seeing that the soldiers in front of him had fled, the king of Kent was furious and immediately threw all the elite troops around him into battle. A ferocious elite Kent soldier who killed a dozen fleeing levies in a row.

Forced by the sword, the conscripts turned again and attacked the Middlesex Line, but the futile attack did not last long.

With the tripartite cooperation of crossbow arrows, horse rejection, and soldiers, Ken's recruits soon collapsed again. This time, the demoralized Kent soldiers didn't care about anything, threw down their weapons and fled behind them.

This time, no matter how many Kent soldiers killed by the supervising soldiers, they could not prevent the levies from escaping, and what was even more fatal was that due to the large number of fleeing levies, the formation of the Kent soldiers was disrupted.

Seeing the opportunity, Aven immediately ordered the soldiers to take advantage of the chaos to surround the Kentish soldiers, and at the same time block the entrance to the trail to block the reinforcements of the Kent army.

Seeing that his elite troops were surrounded and unable to get out, King Kent was anxious, and the levies were gone, and they could be recruited again, if the elite troops were gone, it would not be possible to make up for it in a short time.

What's more, the Kingdom of Kent is already a small country and a weak army, and the surrounding countries are eyeing it, and if it loses a large number of elites, it is in danger of being wiped out.

The king of Kent did not dare to slack off, and personally led the remaining soldiers to storm the trail junction, vowing to break through the Essex defenses and save his own army.

Seeing that the King of Kent had moved, Evan turned his head and said goodbye to Delores, and also led the reserve into the battlefield, aiming at the same trail intersection.

The soldiers on both sides collided again, and when the King of Kent saw that Aven also led his army to intercept him, his eyes immediately turned red, and he roared angrily and waved the knight's sword in his hand, stabbing several Middlesex soldiers in the way in succession, and stabbing at Aven with his sword......
