Chapter 37: Born to Die

On the battlefield, there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves everywhere.

Thousands of cavalry trampled on the ground with smoke and dust.

Lothar took the lead, and had already led the Edict Knights through the stage of slow trotting and began to pick up.

The small wedge formation with him as the spearhead will send him to the Golden Vulture as much as possible.

Now is indeed the best time to practice decapitation tactics.

Jeanne's holy spear, despite its must-hit trait, few dark creatures can survive her spear.

But the Golden Vulture is not a creature of darkness.

Moreover, although the Holy Spear has the characteristic of being a must-hit, it can be blocked by others, and it is naturally invincible in the face of a single opponent.

But it is really normal for a person of Jin Wushu's status to have a few dead henchmen who helped him block the gun.

On the other hand, Lothar's Dragon's Breath, if blessed by the Half-Dragon and the Volcano King, will only be more terrifying than the Holy Lance, which does not deal extra damage to dark creatures.

An arrow missed Lothar's face armor and was ejected, and he was hit by a bow and arrow many times.

The oncoming cavalry of the kidnappers were already very close to them.

They fired a rain of arrows, clanging for a while, and seeing that they could not pose the slightest threat to the knights of the edict in their harness, they had to switch to the mace, the hammer, and the spear of the secondary weapons, and met the attack.

Although the abductor horse can also perform shock missions, it is by no means a serious shock cavalry.

In the cavalry hedging link, the knights under Lothar's command not only have the leading equipment, but also have far stronger lethality than the kidnapping horses.

There is no fighting link described in the book, and there is no talk of more than ten rounds of confrontation between the two sides.

The two sides staggered.

Flesh and blood flying.

The pierced human body fell off the horse like a broken sack and was trampled into pulp.

Even an old knight like Muller easily lost several opponents.

Even if he was an experienced Saracen warrior, after obtaining the martial arts of the battle-hardened Imperial Knights from France, he was not considered a mediocre hand among all the Imperial Knights.

Although his physical strength will be slightly inferior to those of the young knights, he has plenty of experience to make up for it.

The speed of the war horse charging is getting faster and faster.

At the beginning of the battle, the knights of the Imperial Order, including Lothar himself, were ready to go and never return, so they were simply inconsiderate of the horsepower and charged to their heart's content.

Not much.

More than 100 knights were ordered to cut through a team of 1,000 kidnappers and horses, killing and wounding hundreds of enemies, and the ground was full of the screams of those who were lucky not to be trampled to death by the horses.

At the cost, more than a dozen knights were knocked off their mounts, or hit on the head by heavy weapons, fainted and fell from their horses.

Jin Wushu's face changed slightly, but instead of being angry, he smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the Song people also have such a brave armored horse, although the number is limited, but it should not be inferior to the Tiefutu under my command!" ”

What surprised him the most was not the sturdy armor of the "Song Army", but the kind of courage and fearlessness they showed on the battlefield, and they lived to die!

"It's a pity that these Song people only have more than 100 people and want to kill me, it's really whimsical!"

"Pass my order, let Zamu Hemeng'an lead his men and horses, take down the heads of these Song leaders for me, and strip them of the armor they are wearing!"

Jin Wushu sneered.

Zamuhe is a few masters under his command, and his strength is quite strong among several Meng'an, and on his body, there are tattoos drawn by several shamans, which can borrow the great power of the mountain king.

The Liao people who died under the hands of Zamuhe, the Song generals roughly calculated, there were no less than ten people.

With the waving of the banner of the Chinese army, the second team of abducted horses and 1,000 people, under the leadership of its Meng'an, attacked the charging royal knights.

Bang –

A hammer smashed into Lothar's waist head-on, with great force, almost overturning Lothar off the horse, and the person in front of him was wearing all iron armor, probably Meng'an of this thousand-man team.

A martial artist, I'm afraid it is not inferior to a master of Hans's level, Lothar knows that with his own level, even if he opens the Blood Waterfall, without using the state of [Dragon's Breath] [Holy Spear] or [Half-Dragon], he will definitely not be his opponent.

If it weren't for Lothar's misfortune and immediately casting the "Cast Iron Body" obtained by killing the Earth Walking Dragon, he would probably have suffered internal injuries this time.

However.

This kind of battlefield doesn't need Lothar to be this Meng'an's opponent at all.

The two quickly staggered by.

Lothar didn't care how many Imperial Knights this Meng'an would kill, at this moment, the blood in his body was like a river bursting its banks, rushing wildly, and the black scales had quietly covered his body.

He has not yet cast a half-dragon.

This is just the manifestation of the blood magic of [Blood Waterfall] working to the extreme, prompting the power of the blood veins in his body.

By the time he had once again chiseled through the 1,000-strong Kidnappers, Lothar could already see the red and black banner with the golden sun standing tall on the hill in front of him!

The price is that there are only about fifty knights left behind him.

This time, their losses were particularly heavy because the rifles in their hands had been broken, and they had been replaced with secondary weapons, which greatly reduced the impact force.

"It's close!"

Lothar's eyes under the mask had turned into a brilliant gold, and because the sun was shining, the child's hole shrunk into a vertical line.

"Blow the trumpet, command the knights, and charge with me!"

Lothar shouted.

The knights behind him responded with high-pitched shouts.

Unlike usual, instead of shouting "in the name of the Father", they shouted the same sentence as if they had already been discussed: "In the name of our lord Lothar, in the name of the Habsburgs!" ”

The knights of the royal decree are the most loyal army under Lothar, and if Lothar approves of the Father, the Father is the Father; Otherwise, the so-called Heavenly Father is an evil god!

They will not hesitate to carry out any order from Lothar!

Even if there is a dead end ahead.

As the horn sounded, the momentum of the charge of the knights, who had been slightly frustrated, increased again, and at this time, the distance from the Golden Vulture was only the last team of Kidnappers and Horses!

When the third team of abducted horses and thousands of people faced this bloodied "Song Army cavalry", their eyes touched the golden mask worn by the enemy general, and they suddenly felt a sense of panic and horror.

It was as if this "Song Army Cavalry", covered in blood, armed with mace, chain mail, and war hammers, was covered in silver armor all over his body, and even his horse armor was simply killed from hell.

The enemy's enemy general who rushed to the front, the dragon head cloak behind him, seemed to be alive, and from a distance, it looked like a dragon beast with fleshy wings roaring in the sky.

For a time, their morale was greatly shaken before they even touched the enemy.

This is a superposition of Lothar's dragon power and the "Fear" effect of the Mask Helmet.

The expression of the golden vulture was awe-inspiring: "This is the beast spirit summoned by the shaman?" ”

He pulled out the saber at his waist and scolded loudly: "Just a beast spirit, you dare to be presumptuous in front of my complete face vultures, and when I find your old nest, I will definitely cut down the mountains and temples, and pull you out of your bones and skin!" ”

Although the fortunes of the Jin Kingdom are not long, at present, it is just as the sun is rising, and the dragon spirit is strong.

Jin Wushu, or after finishing speaking, Yan Zongbi is the fourth son of Emperor Taizu of the Jin Kingdom, and the dragon qi that lingers on him is by no means a few.

At this moment, he was inspired by him, manifested a behemoth black dragon, soared in the black and red banner behind him, and let out a silent roar towards the western demon dragon that moved with him where Lothar was.

This immediately angered the demon dragon phantom manifested by Lotha's dragon power, and I saw that its originally illusory body, affected by this, seemed to become much more condensed, and its scales and minions became lifelike.

If you look closely, you can clearly find the big head like a tyrannical dragon, the slender body like a sea dragon, and the fleshy wings of the fusion monster... Although it looked a little ugly, its momentum became more and more high, and it formed a confrontation with the luck black dragon that soared up beside Jin Wushu.

But at this moment, the Kidnapper Ma Qianren Team, whose morale had been greatly frustrated, also woke up, secretly cursed their cowardice in their hearts, and their eyes were red for a while, and they were about to wash away the shame of their own stagnation.

Under the leadership of Meng An, they clamped the belly of the horse, and then surrounded the enemy who was already close at a short time.

This time, they learned the lesson of the previous two thousand-person teams, and the team was thicker, like breaking a fast man into two sections and stacking them again, and they were bound to use this mantis arm as a car and strangle them all!

To fifty, to a thousand!

Such disparities in numbers are like the sea swallowing up gravel.

It seemed that in just a moment, the knights of the edict, with the double-headed eagle banner, disappeared without a trace like stones thrown into the sea.

...

At the head of the city, Liu Bowu looked at this side from a distance, only to feel that the blood that was already boiling in his heart cooled down by three points at once.

His eyes, unconsciously, were full of tears.

"General Ha is gone."

The county lieutenant sighed lightly: "Only General Da is left, I hope she can come back alive." ”

At this moment, he no longer cares about the identity of these "Hu people" in Lothar, and anyone who sees such a fearless army that lives to the dead will have respect.

Yoro's arrogance is stupid.

Dare to use the mantis arm as a car, but it is courage.

They all knew that Lothar and his cavalry definitely understood the strength of the Jin Iron Cavalry, and they were not arrogant and thought that more than a hundred people could kill thousands of crutches and horses, but they had already put life and death out of the way.

The county magistrate sighed lightly: "This matter is over, I must ask the official family to ask for a decent posthumous seal for this general and the soldiers under his command; They should also ask someone to write a book and write a biography for them, and to dig a tablet to record it. ”

Everyone also knew that even if these Jin people won, it would be impossible for them to pose a threat to Qingshui County anymore, they survived, and their wives and children did not have to be taken captive and slaughtered.

They themselves will be saved, and they will not have to fight against the fierce and brutal golden soldiers.

It was a happy event, but no one could laugh at it.

Even those cowardly and timid van soldiers seemed to have a little more courage, daring to poke their heads out of the battlements and shoot arrows at the enemy in the distance, although they were powerless, they were still doing it.

Even from time to time, someone was pierced by the precise arrows of the enemy under the city.

Liu Bowu muttered in a low voice: "Why? ”

"Why, exactly?"

His voice was much higher.

But no one could explain his doubts.

Everyone has deep doubts and incomprehension in their hearts.

Why did this Kazakh general work hard for these foreign people, is he really morally noble, and he doesn't want to see the people slaughtered when the city is broken, so he comes to help the weak?

Or is it that the real identity of this general and the soldiers under his command is actually a feudal soldier guarding the frontier, and what they are doing today is a matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king?

They can't figure it out.

But even if you can't figure it out, the courage you get in your heart can't be faked.

"If, my Great Song soldiers and generals, they are all as brave as these Hu soldiers..."

Liu Bowu muttered in a low voice.

Immediately, I felt that this idea was ridiculous.

...

Jeanne had no time to care about the development of the war on Lothar's side.

In the way she and her cavalry charged against the Iron Floaters on foot, there was only a thousand people of kidnapping horses.

As the two sides approached.

Hussars, Monks, Archersmen, and the newly formed company of scout cavalry all raised their cavalry guns and shouted in their mouths, and charged the enemy!

In an instant, people turned on their backs.

Marshal Gil slashed the neck of an Iron Float with a single sword, and he looked at the walking Iron Floaters who were full of restlessness in their hearts, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he let out a bloodthirsty sneer.

In ancient wars, no matter how strong an army is, when it encounters an attack from behind the enemy, it will feel panicked, even if it is a strong army of the first rank in the world, Tiefutu is no exception.

In particular, these Iron Floating Slaughter are still in a state of dismount and fighting.

There is an enemy entanglement in front, making it difficult for them to break away from the battle line and line up in the direction of the back.

Then there was an enemy coming in, and it was difficult for them to devote themselves to the battle with the enemy in front of them.

Counting Marshal Gil's record of slaying the giant Baturu, the morale of the Iron Floating Slaughter was shaken unprecedentedly.

"Entangle them, at all costs!"

Marshal Jill shouted and ordered.

His armor was stained with blood, and he had the demeanor of a "paladin", and that image overlapped with the terrifying devil called "Bluebeard" in Lothar's time.

The infantrymen, who had suffered heavy casualties, did not hesitate to jump out of the barrier and launched a decisive charge towards the Iron Float who were trying to evacuate.

The other side.

Jeanne, who quickly killed the Kidnappers and Horses, shouted hoarsely:

"Leave those light cavalry alone, our target is only those armored men, don't give them a chance to ride their horses again, and don't let the blood of the brothers in the fortress be in vain!"

She didn't know how many people could hear her shout, so she just charged forward, and the cavalry behind her would naturally follow her banner, even if there was an abyss ahead!

After a round of charge, at least more than 100 cavalrymen fell in the way of the charge.

Especially those scout cavalry, their training time is limited, and their martial arts, equipment, and combat experience are far inferior to those of hussars and monk knights, and their single combat effectiveness is not as good as that of a kidnapping horse.

Even if they use the rifle charging tactic, they will only exchange one with the enemy at most.

They were on the outermost side, and after cutting through the enemy's abduction horse thousand people, there were only more than 20 people left. The rest were either broken or covered in blood, but they just sat on horseback, and there was no combat power left.

But the losses suffered by the Kidnappers Horse Thousand Team will only be greater!

They were faced with cavalry using the tactics of a pistol-mounted charge, the most powerful and terrifying first round of charge.

In particular, the kidnapping horses, which were in the center of the wedge-shaped winged cavalry, suffered the most casualties.

Because the wedge-shaped array became thicker the closer it was to the middle, behind the hussars, there were more than 20 mounted archers, this heavy cavalry was not inferior to the Tiefutu, and the shooting skills were excellent, and the cavalry was not weak at all.

In the blink of an eye.

The enemy standing in front of Jeanne had been cleared, and she could clearly see the Varangian guards at the foot of the city walls, who were climbing over the barricades and entanglement of the Iron Floaters who were about to evacuate.

These heavily armored samurai armed with two-handed axes were the most threatening army in the infantry army, and in battle, they were like firefighting teams, ready to throw themselves into any dangerous front.

Half of their losses had already passed, and the remaining fifty or so people were all wounded, and some even dragged a severe, drooping broken arm, and then carried an axe and found the enemy.

But they are at the end of their crossbows, how can they defeat the many elite Iron Floats who have not yet been put into the battlefield?

One soldier after another fell.

In Jeanne's heart, there seemed to be a flame burning.

She kept urging the "grapes" under her crotch, the mane of the war horse and the cloak behind her were flying, and she raised the holy spear high, like a gust of wind, passing in front of an iron floating figure who was holding up iron bones head-on.

I don't see any big movements.

In just an instant, the Tiefutu fell to the ground, and a bloody hole had been broken in his chest, and the heavy armor and stomach, like a blank piece of paper, could be easily torn apart.
