Chapter 152: Runaway Horse [Asking for Subscription]

Xu Siling was able to win, and he himself was not surprised at all.

He possesses elite-level spear riding skills, which is enough to deal with these knights with good spear riding skills.

To be precise, the advantage of elite-level skills is not particularly large.

For example, these elite knights of Paris at least have elite-level sword fighting.

The skill of riding a spear is quite special, and it is different from sword fighting, riding, and long poles.

The skill of riding a spear is included in the soldier's military training, but it is not commonly used, and the training is not as much as imagined.

The real role of the cavalry lance on the battlefield, aside from its destructive power, is to hedge against knights, and to deal with spearmen.

With a knight on a spear, the attack range is increased.

The length of the lance is much longer than that of a normal melee weapon, which allows the knight to attack from a great distance, and the knight's lance can be stabbed into the spearman before the spearman can poke at the knight's horse first.

By skillfully using the speed of the horses and the length of the rifles, you can be the first to break through the lines of the soldiers' formations, thus tearing through the openings.

As long as there are not many spearmen on the other side, there are knights on horseback, they will rush into battle with impunity.

And the problem of Xu Siling's confidence that he can win lies here.

Although the elite-level spear riding skills are not high, as long as there are peers to set off, it seems that he has a great advantage.

These knights were trained in the technique of riding spears, and they were occasionally used on the battlefield, but there were not many field battles in the Middle Ages.

There are three significant differences between the wars of the European Middle Ages and those of China.

In the wars of the Middle Ages, there were few large-scale field battles, few elite troops, and few beheadings and kills.

Just like the famous war kings in Europe, there are not many large-scale field battles.

Richard the Lionheart fought three large-scale field battles in his lifetime, namely Le Mans beating Daddy, Assuf defeating Saladin, and Fretval defeating Philip, the gossip boyfriend.

The number of field battles of Edward III and Henry V is also only a handful.

Although the Middle Ages were known for their knighthood, the total number of knights in the strict sense was small.

During the Lionheart's time, England had only 3,000 knights, and when Edward III went on an expedition to France, England had only 500 to take into battle.

And France?

At the time of the Hundred Years' War, there were nominally tens of thousands of knights, but the number of knights who could perform knightly duties all year round was only a few thousand.

Knights were trained in the skill of riding a spear, but unlike sword fighting, they could be used in daily military activities.

The elite knights of Paris, even if they have been on the battlefield for a long time, have at most advanced riding spear skills.

And the kings and nobles had very low requirements for the knights' riding spear skills.

On the battlefield, when charging, you can stabilize the head of the gun, and the head of the gun is aimed at the enemy, and there is no other requirement.

So don't look at the art of riding the gun so widespread and admired in the Middle Ages, but that's about it.

Xu Siling, who has elite-level spear riding skills, is really not something that these elite Parisian knights can touch.

Now Xu Siling easily defeated the famous Parisian lancer Wilbur.

The dueling arena was noisy.

They couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.

When he saw Wilbur kneeling down on his knees and spread his hands towards Xu Siling, who was passing by on horseback, he asked to dismount and duel.

The dueling arena was quiet again.

Everyone is looking forward to how Xu Siling will react.

It's going to give Wilbur a respectful duel.

Or spurn and humiliate the arrogance in front of Wilbur.

Everyone has their own answers in their hearts, but whether it is the former or the latter, the next scene once again stunned the audience in the stands.

Xu Siling glanced at Wilbur, who was kneeling on the ground, and did not stop at all, and rode away on his own.

No one expected that Xu Siling would not be a bird at Wilbur at all.

The crowd booed.

Wilbur felt the neglect, and his outstretched hands couldn't help but clench their fists and slam the ground!

The blood vessels in his temples were prominent, and he gritted his teeth.

Then he got up and angrily pointed at the back of Xu Siling riding away.

"Raya Knight! The knight duel in the back, I will kill you! You wait for me! ”

John was in the center stand, and he couldn't help frowning when he saw Wilbur so unknighted.

Disgust for Wilbur skyrocketed.

"A knight is to cherish his honor, and to preserve his honor and the honor of his family. Whether it's the embodiment of moral duty or the oath on the battlefield, not to mention that this is a game, and if you lose, you lose! If you lose, you have to admit it. If you want to duel, you can wait for the next game, Wilbur, this person, has no knightly faith. ”

John shook his hand domineeringly and looked at the soldiers beside him.

"Look at what you're doing, drag him down, don't affect the next duel!"

In fact, John didn't think that Xu Siling would be a perfect knight at the beginning.

He just has a good relationship with Xu Siling, and he is very good to Xu Siling.

The reason why Xu Siling evolved into a perfect knight.

It was because he talked with Philip VI that night that he learned about Xu Siling's past achievements and things.

Philip VI was extremely optimistic about Xu Siling, which made John feel that Xu Siling was not simple.

But even if he is optimistic about Xu Siling, John has not fully seen Xu Siling's strength, so this knight competition, John just wanted to see Xu Siling's strength.

Now seeing Xu Siling's shot, I can't help but marvel at the ingenuity.

As if anticipating an attack, he bent over and dodged, and stabbed Wilbur in the shoulder.

He is looking forward to Xu Siling's next appearance competition more and more.

Many noblewomen showed disgust at Wilbur's harsh words, but Mrs. Instein was there and didn't show much.

When it comes to falling into the well, Ann Li is extremely skilled.

As soon as Wilbur finished his cruel words and was about to leave, he was pestered by Anli.

Ask Wilbur to immediately take off the armor and equipment on his body, including the horses, and now these are the trophies of Xu Siling's victory!

Wilbur was so angry that his teeth were tickling.

An Li is not afraid, seeing that Wilbur refuses to take it off, she is ready to pick it up herself.

Under Ann Li's cynicism, Wilbur took off his armor gear.

In this way, Ann Li led his horse and equipment away, leaving behind the same cruel words as he had before.

"What kind of pig and dog, they all come to touch our Raya knight, the strength is not good, but it is quite good at barking, Count Stan's family has a good dog."

When Wilbur heard these words, he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Forcibly holding down the fishy smell in his throat, he silently returned to Mrs. Stan, who was about to apologize when he was scolded by Mrs. Stan.

"Didn't you say you were one of the best spear masters in Paris?!"

"Why can't you even beat an executioner knight in the country?"

"You're bragging, but tell me! I don't have that much confidence in you, you know! ”

"Look at the way you are now, you have disgraced the face of Count Stan's family!"

Wilbur's face, sometimes red, sometimes blue, sometimes purple, rainbow-like face, is beautiful.

"I'm sorry, my lady. The front is a mistake, the knight duel in the back, I can definitely win! My strength, I hope Madame trusts me more! ”

Mrs. Stan felt much better after scolding, but she still felt that her face could not be hung up, and she knocked Wilbur on the shoulder with a fan.

"I'll only give you one more chance, Wilbur, and if you lose later, you can pay for your horse equipment yourself!"

"Yes, my lady! Definitely won't lose again! ”

After speaking, Wilbur couldn't help but turn around and looked at Xu Siling angrily, his eyes revealing hatred.

Xu Siling rode back to his area leisurely, waiting for his next race.

The reason why he didn't bother with Wilbur before was simple.

That is, he had no idea why Wilbur suddenly knelt down to him.

Adhering to the principle of not being reasonable if he doesn't know, Xu Siling directly ignored him and rode away.

It was the audience in the stands who were so surprised.

Since Xu Siling defeated Wilbur, many female nobles in the stands looked at him and gradually looked wrong.

In the final analysis, Xu Siling is just an executioner-born knight, and in terms of training and ability, he should be inferior to the orthodox elite knights in Paris.

However, Xu Siling slapped each of them in the face, so that they didn't dare to despise Xu Siling anymore.

At least everyone knows. The Raya knights in the countryside may really be extraordinary.

There is a game next, and Xu Siling did not stand in the stands.

Blanche sat upright, and no amount of aristocratic dress she wore could compare to her beautiful face.

Her gloomy eyes quietly hung on Xu Siling's side.

His brown eyes were radiant, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Thinking back to the front, before the game even started, Wilbur ran up to him and shouted, saying that he would beat him.

Xu Siling didn't pay any attention to it.

As he prepares to start the match, Wilbur arrogantly waves the Stan family flag around the arena.

Xu Siling was unmoved again.

After defeating Wilbur, he kneels down in front of Wilbur and asks for a duel.

Xu Siling still didn't care.

How arrogant Wilbur was in front of him, how embarrassed he was when he lost.

Sometimes I have to say that there is no harm if there is no comparison, and it all depends on the support of peers.

If Xu Siling comes out, his indifferent, mature and steady appearance will make everyone have a good impression at most.

But there is Wilbur's extreme contrast.

One is still and one is moving, one is stable and one is chaotic.

It highlights the indifferent and steady temperament of Xu Siling, and it seems that he doesn't care about the calmness in front of him, he just trusts his own ability.

Under the support of his peers, Xu Siling in Blanche's eyes has become extremely good.

Originally, she liked Xu Siling's temperament very much, as if she would not frown easily in the face of a storm, and always give others a sense of security without hurrying.

Right now?

I like it even more now.

especially

Blanche's eyes looked at Phil, who was sitting beside her, like Tarzan.

Fei'er had been prepared for this result for a long time, and she really never doubted that Xu Siling would lose.

Blanche recalls what Phil said earlier.

"There are one or two things that I am sure of without doubt, although they are not many, but they are enough to resist all kinds of impermanence in the world."

When these words came out of Fei'er's mouth, they were so powerful.

It also stimulates Blanche's heart.

Especially now that Xu Siling has won, Blanche subconsciously asked herself.

At such a young age, Phil has someone worthy of her conviction.

So what is there about her to believe in after she has lived so long?

"The people around me are either thinking about how to use me, or they think that I have no use value, I am not worth worrying about, and I am just a mascot"

Phil didn't hear Blanche's self-talk and asked strangely.

"Princess Blanche, what are you talking about?"

"Oh nothing, just thinking about things. You see, the next game begins. ”

In the dueling arena, the tense and exciting knight rifle hedge began again.

Although it was wonderful, both knights struggled.

The winning side is also a difficult win.

and Xu Siling's easy victory, completely different.

Or should it be said that the knight hedged with a spear, which was a very difficult thing.

is as relaxed as Xu Siling, who is an outlier.

But the noblewomen in the stands didn't understand this.

In the next spear riding competition, the harder and harder the knights behaved, the more they felt that Xu Siling's strength was strong.

For Xu Siling's strength recognition, he can't help but raise his cognition layer by layer.

It didn't take long for Xu Siling's turn to appear again.

In the knight tournament, as long as you win the first round, you will not lose even if you lose.

When the Cavaliers compete, there is no choice to abandon the game.

Compete in a lance duel, either win the championship or lose a set of horse equipment.

Because you have already won a set of horse equipment, even if you lose, you will lose at most a set, one profit and one loss, and return to normal.

But if you win again, it's all a big profit!

It's a big gamble!

Xu Siling's reappearance made the audience in the dueling arena quiet again.

The more the game goes, the stronger the Knights.

Xu Siling took the riding spear handed by An Li and took position with his opponent.

When the referee raises the flag, a whistle is given, and the game begins!

Gripping the spear, Ann Li's horse rushed forward.

The horse's hooves stomped through the ground of the ring, the wind whistled in his ears, and the fierce blood was restless.

The two of them drew closer, their figures shrouded in fast-moving dust.

In the blink of an eye.

The wooden spears in their hands pierced the air like brown lightning bolts.

"Bang!"

A rifle exploded!

Xu Siling's opponent was shot down again and dismounted.

But this time he wasn't as lucky as Wilbur.

He was knocked away, but his feet were not in the stirrups, his spear and shield were thrown to the dueling ring, and he was dragged away by his own galloping horses.

The impact of the riding spear was enough for him to choke, but he didn't expect to be dragged by his own horse.

The dueling arena was again noisy and noisy.

is not only for such a dangerous thing to happen, but also for the recognition of Xu Siling's strength.

Xu Siling won so easily and leisurely again.

Winning Wilbur in the front, some people will think that he is lucky.

But now everyone no longer doubts Xu Siling's strength.

John II was so excited that he stood up and applauded, like a star-chasing maniac, shouting and cheering for Xu Siling frantically, and he didn't know that he thought he had won the game.

Madame Bonne, who was sitting on the side, helplessly supported her forehead.

But the next scene made John and Madame Bonnet's faces change greatly!

The horse, which had been pulling his master to roll to the floor, was helped up by his entourage.

The knight thought that he had been dragged away by the horse in front of so many noblewomen, and he lost face, so he scolded and beat his horse buttocks.

The horse was beaten, restless, and neighed.

And An Li stepped forward as usual, and took the loot belonging to Xu Siling by the way.

Before Ann Li's sneer could be stopped, she was just about to pull the reins of the horse and pat the horse.

Unexpectedly, as soon as An Li's hand touched, the horse seemed to be stimulated!

The horses barked wildly and kicked their hooves, frightening the people around them to hide away, and even Anli couldn't help but let go of her hand.

The horses galloped towards the stands of the dueling arena as if they were crazy.

The sound of horses' hooves is deafening!

This accident made everyone shout in fear! John and Bonet in the central stand were shocked.

The target of the horse's galloping was a noblewoman who sat down, and when she saw the horse galloping towards her, she panicked and froze in place, not knowing how to hide!

"Quick, stop that horse!"

"Don't let the horse hurt Miss Chrissy!"

"Damn, this bastard, his own waste, blame what he is doing with beating his own horse!"

The entire dueling arena was in a panic and noise.

Some of the soldiers wanted to get close to the horses and grab the reins.

The horse was like a madman, and no one was allowed to touch it.

Getting closer and closer to the noblewoman in the stands, she finally remembered to hide, but as soon as she got up, her legs were weak, and she knelt on the ground of the stands.

She's delicate!

The horse was getting closer and closer to her in the blink of an eye, and the horse's huge body seemed to crush her body!

"What to do! Who's going to save me?"

But the stands were full of female nobles, and everyone hid far away, and no one could help her in time.

She was afraid to close her eyes.

The deafening sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and she trembled with fear.

My God.

I'm going to die.

Just when she thought that something was going to happen, the noblewoman Chrissy suddenly heard a 'whoo' sound.

The voice was calm and powerful, unhurried.

Accompanied by the cries of the horses, there were heart-rending screams.

Chrissy's eyelashes were trembling, and she couldn't help but slowly open her eyes, tears of fear gently sliding down.

And what caught her eye made her stunned for a moment.

A knight has been riding on a mad horse for some time.

The mad horse, with its front hooves high and forward, tried hard to throw the rider off his horse.

And the knight rode safely on the horse, unaffected in the slightest.

In Chrissy's eyes, the knight's back was to the sun, and his body was covered with a hazy light.

This hazy light is not dazzling, and the dazzling sunlight has long been blocked by Xu Siling's body.

In the way, there is also her danger.

The horse's front hooves are close at hand, and a little later, the horse will step on Chrissy.

But everything was blocked.

The knight reined in time and moved his horse's hoofs aside.

The knight in front of him had his back to the sun, and Chrissy couldn't see the knight's face clearly, but he was safe behind the horse.

What Chrissy saw was a knight with a well-defined face, a mature and indifferent face, and a reassuring smile.

"Ma'am, it's okay." (End of chapter)
