Chapter 21: The Crimson Knights
Picking three unlucky eggs in a row, the situation on the battlefield has gradually changed. The troops on both sides were all scuffled, and the scene was a mess.
The noble knights who had slaughtered all sides just now also encountered a crisis at this moment and fell into the siege of the rebels.
Ants bite elephants to death, and no matter how strong the knight's combat effectiveness is, it can't withstand the steady stream of rebels. Witnessing the two noble knights being pulled off their horses, Hudson once again strengthened his determination to "survive".
Ignoring the continued bullying of the lonely, Hudson hurriedly rallied his team and harassed the enemy on the left flank.
"Rush in and help your allies?"
As soon as this idea was born, Hudson decisively extinguished it. He is not leading any elite, it is okay to bully the lone enemy army in a good fight on the side, and to rush in and fight a decisive battle with the enemy is to send him to death.
Looking at the private army of the nobles, you can know that after the lord took the lead in the charge, everyone also blindly followed, and then they were anxious with the rebels.
Now if you want to turn the tide, you can either wait for the army in the fortress to come out, or wait for other noble private armies to join the battlefield.
Today is the stipulated deadline, and the ambitious noble private army will arrive on time. Time is on its side, and theoretically, the longer it drags on, the better it will be for the counterinsurgency army.
But theory is theory after all, and as time goes by, the noble knights who are under siege become more and more unsustainable.
A charge to defeat the rebels is only an illusion after all. The enemy in front of him was like a chicken blood, and he attacked them without fear of death.
In order to launch an effective attack, in the face of the counterattack of the knights, many rebel soldiers did not even hide, even if they accidentally injured their own people. Hudson saw a rebel soldier throw his weapon rather than be shot.
As long as the number is in place, the accuracy and hit rate are not important. No matter how powerful the knight is, he can't do 360 degrees of defense without dead ends.
The mighty knight, who was heaped to death on the battlefield by a serf who had just put down his hoe, has to say that this is an irony.
At one point, Hudson regretted making up some alliance, and if it weren't for the existence of the alliance, he would still be hiding behind and watching the scenery?
It's come to this point, no matter how unwilling you are, you can only bite the bullet. In order to reduce his presence, Hudson was forced to dismount and blend into the ranks of the infantry.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer comrades-in-arms around him, the knights of Chels, who were making great progress, gradually realized the seriousness of the problem.
These enemies are obviously abnormal, all of them are bloodthirsty, they don't care about their life or death at all, and they are not ordinary rebels at all.
"Get out!"
Chels shouted.
Now is not the time to be reckless, no matter how important the merit is, it is not as important as a small life.
The fact that military command capability is not good does not mean that political wisdom is also zero. The nobles who charged with him had died a lot, and if he continued to die like this, he would not be able to hold on.
Deep down, Chels has greeted three generations of Earl Pierce's ancestors. Fortunately, I came to help you break the siege, and the battle was fought to this extent, and I didn't send troops.
The knights led by Chels were the benchmark on the battlefield, and their retreat caused the morale of the noble coalition to collapse in an instant.
The elites who took the lead in running away were the elites of each family, and it could be seen that the elites who could survive "a hundred battles" were all the kings of running away.
Without incident, Hudson retreated with his own horses. Because he had been walking on the edge of the battlefield, there was no one behind him to stand in the way, and the retreat went exceptionally smoothly.
Seeing the rout of the noble coalition, the Count of Pierce in the fortress of Ethel suddenly realized that he had played big again. Troops, troops must be sent, and if the rebels are given a complete victory, there will be no reinforcements.
The nobles are not stupid, with the lessons of the past, the nobles who came from behind will turn around and leave. Even if the lawsuit goes to the royal capital, it will be his Pierce who is at fault.
Thinking of this, Pierce was angry. In any case, he is also resourceful, but when it comes to specific operations, there is always chaos.
originally wanted to use the rebels to weaken the strength of the nobles of Wright, but he didn't expect to misestimate the strength of the Skull and Bones Society, causing the rebels to plunder the two counties, directly causing the situation to get out of control.
I just wanted to use the hands of the rebels to weaken the strength of the noble lords, but I didn't expect this group of noble coalition troops to be so useless, and they were defeated in less than an hour.
If the weakening is too much, it becomes an accident. Everything has a degree, whether he wants it or not, he must now send troops to save the remnants of the noble coalition.
Otherwise, he would have become a public enemy of the small and medium-sized nobles in the southeastern provinces. From now on, he, the governor, will be an empty shelf, and no one will listen to his orders at all.
Summoning the elite of the fortress, Earl Pierce raised his knight's spear, stepped on his mount, the Flaming Lion, and with a wave of his spear, he ordered: "The evil skeletons will launch a rebellion with the intention of subverting the divine rule of the kingdom.
For the stability of the kingdom, for the glory of the Lord of the Dawn, and for our glory, the warriors of the Crimson Knights, follow me on the march! ”
The majestic fortress gate slowly opened, and the sun's light sprinkled on the knight's spear, emitting bursts of cold light.
The Earl of Pierce leaped out of the fortress first, followed by more than two hundred knights, followed by a thousand cavalry of the Crimson Knights.
Thousands of horses galloped out wildly, bursting out with an earth-shattering momentum, which was terrifying.
Seeing the cavalry attacking, the rebels besieging the city immediately took measures. The pikemen were at the front, and the archers fired a hail of arrows as they rained down on the Knights.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain, and the Earl of Pierce swung his spear and swept the arrows into the sky, protecting himself and his mount tightly, and continuing the charge.
As they approached the pikemen, the Flame Lion suddenly erupted from its mouth with something resembling lava, and the rebels who couldn't dodge turned into burning men in an instant. The frightened soldiers around hurriedly dodged, and the scene fell into chaos for a while.
Taking advantage of the chaos of the rebels, Earl Pierce also rushed into the rebels and slaughtered all sides with the cooperation of the Flame Lion.
Taking advantage of the gap opened by Count Pierce, a group of knights also frantically poured in, and the spear array directly collapsed.
Without the army to rely on, under the slaughter of a large number of cavalry, the rebels suffered heavy losses in an instant.
However, the Earl of Pierce obviously did not have the time to harvest the minions now, and completely ignored the defeated defeated soldiers, and led his troops to the enemy's banner.
Anyone with a little military knowledge knows that Earl Pierce is preparing to "capture the king" first.
Seeing the cavalry approaching, the gray-robed old man watching the battle on the high platform sneered: "The Crimson Knights are worthy of being the top ten knights of the Alpha Kingdom, and they are really weapons of war!"
Rick, blow the horn of the Blood Moon, and let the cannon fodder play slowly with this group of pesky cavalry to see how many they can kill. ”
