Chapter 110: Complete Defeat
"Where are the infantry!" Seeing that the mercenaries who were purely used as sacrifices were decreasing in large numbers and had begun to appear to run back in a routing trend, the grand duke immediately shouted, the flag behind him immediately waved, and behind him rows of heavy infantry armed with long swords and shields, dressed in fine armor and domed helmets immediately stepped neatly, like a block of squares of three thousand men, crossing the Grand Duke at a tight pace, and walked towards the not-too-distant distance with arrogance and fled. battlefield. When the Marquis finally killed the mercenary in front of him with his sword, he saw the enemy army that was already close at hand. Especially the sophisticated equipment of these soldiers made him turn pale instantly, and shouted: "Defense!"
Unfortunately, it was already too late, as the official heavy-armed swordsmen of the Principality of Kasmi were naturally well-trained. When the marquis roared the first sound, they immediately crossed their legs, lowered their bodies, carried their shields up against their bodies, and squeezed the long swords in their hands. Just hearing a loud trumpet from the Archduke, these swordsmen immediately roared in unison, neatly planned like a row of waves, rushing towards the enemy army who had no time to re-form a defensive formation! But at this moment, the swords in their hands were raised high at the same time, and they rushed forward to the enemy who had just turned back in front of them, and chopped off with one sword!
With a bang, the heavily armored swordsman who was like a sea wave pierced into the dispersed team very quickly like a sharp knife, and scattered the soldiers who had just been attacked by the mercenaries and their formation was disordered. "The time has come."
At this moment, the grand duke standing at the front suddenly had his eyes brightened, and he lowered his raised hand abruptly. The banner with the knight painted behind it turned immediately. And at this moment, the White Orchid Countess who had been paying attention immediately lifted the riding rifle hanging on the harness after seeing the banner command, and the banner of the Aries Knights tied to the top of that riding rifle fluttered in the wind. As soon as they saw the leader's action, all the Aries knights immediately raised their riding rifles, and even the squire knights in the back of the line, wearing gray armor, also moved in unison. The Countess White Orchid roared, "Three way wave formation, left flank! For victory!" "For victory!"
The five hundred knights of the White Orchid shouted in unison. The Countess was the first to take the lead and darted away. Behind them, like a white wave, the knights stirred up a cloud of smoke and dust, and went straight to the enemy's left flank, which was now in chaos and without any formation! At this moment, the Marquis of Carmon's Flaming Lion Knights, who were standing on the far right, also moved. Their red and yellow armor brought up a storm of flame towards the enemy's right flank!
"Cavalry, hold them back!" When the Marquis saw the Aries Knights and the Flaming Lion Knights move out at the same time, he immediately felt that something was wrong. His own soldiers were already in disarray at the moment, and the effect that the original encouragement had had faded away. If this group of the most elite knights of the Principality of Kasmi flanked, it would really be a complete defeat! The Marquis' order went quickly, and the cavalry that had been waiting for a long time on both sides immediately rushed forward, determined to block this thunderous attack.
It's a pity that one is a cavalry recruited among soldiers, and the other is a knight who has been strictly taught and trained since childhood. No matter the gap in equipment or skills, it cannot be matched. Seeing the opponent's cavalry rushing up to try to block the charge, the Aries Knights obeyed the Countess's order and immediately divided into three wave-shaped charge teams while running wildly. The wave of servant knights in gray armor came from behind, and the two waves of the Countess and the Doppelganger immediately diverged in the middle, and the squire knights and local cavalry immediately collided fiercely! Seeing that the knights were blocking the wave, the Countess immediately turned her horse's head and raised her arms and shouted: "Charge! Crush them!" The heavily armored Aries Knight, who even put on chain armor on his horse, immediately turned the corner, immediately turned the corner and charged straight into the chaotic situation where the enemy was straining against the spear sergeants with the gates wide open before them!
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" The Countess let out a loud roar, and the mounted spears in the hands of the five hundred Aries Knights immediately slid down, slightly angled to the front, and clamped down dead with their armpits. Suddenly, those enemy soldiers turned their heads and a sense of foreboding surfaced. But they saw a snow-white rider was stepping on the splattered dust, and the sharp riding lance was already close at hand.
"Boom!" These enemy troops didn't even have time to scream, and were immediately covered by this white wave in a destructive manner! Even some broken limbs crushed by the huge force could be seen, tossed up with blood. "Kill kill kill!"
The doppelganger roared with a face full of fierce fury, the lance in his hand already had two enemies skewered on it, while some enemies who were directly hit by the horrible impact of the horses also became mush under the heavy hooves of the latter namely. Only to hear a popping sound, the lance in the doppelganger's hand was finally unable to bear the weight and snapped off. He did not hesitate to throw away the lance, pulled out the cross sword from his waist and began to slash frantically! And in the distance, on the opposite side, the Flaming Lion Knights under Marquis Camon also crashed headlong into the right flank, those enemy troops were as weak as a scarecrow in front of the heavily armored knights.
"Run, run!" When the remaining soldiers saw such a miserable situation, the little fighting spirit left immediately dissipated. Wailing, they threw down their weapons and turned to flee. The Archduke, who saw the situation, immediately took up his lance and shouted, "King's Knights, charge, and exterminate the enemy on the plain!" "Ahhhhhhh!" The Marquis of Javier, who was covered in blood, looked at the situation and the King's Knights who were already charging towards the central army. At once, his face was deathly white as he threw away his longsword and muttered in a disoriented manner, "It's over."
On this flat plain, there were only broken limbs and various weapons and armor left. The soldiers of the Principality of Kasmi were busy picking up the loot and checking the prisoners who may be alive. Another group of people was carrying some wounded soldiers to the rear of the battlefield, seeking treatment from the Holy See personnel. And the Grand Duke, who was staring at all these masterpieces, frowned at the moment and listened to the Count Torch's reply: "My Grand Duke, I have searched everything, and I did not find Javier's body." "Find it, this despicable bastard who tarnished the honor of the nobility, must be found!"
The Grand Duke scolded very angrily. Suddenly, he saw that Count Torch’s face was not looking very good. His heart tightened suddenly, he knew that this cousin must not feel comfortable taking his soldiers as victims in the first wave of attack just now. In order to appease the other party, he immediately said in a low voice with regret on his face: "Brother, don't take what happened just now to your heart... How about it, when the war is over, I'll give you three towns and a village, as well as a thousand gold coins. Count it as my apology." "Thanks a lot brother."
.
Count Torch replied with a half smile. The soldiers have been arranged to leave as an excuse. Looking at the sulking cousin, the Grand Duke sighed helplessly. This is also impossible. This time, too few mercenaries were recruited, and the time was too tight, so there was no time to recruit foreign mercenaries.He had no choice but to sacrifice his younger brother’s recruits who had never been on the battlefield. It's impossible for the Grand Duke to take the elite soldiers to death. This is also impossible.
But at this moment, in a forest that was rare on the plain in the distance, the Marquis Javier in underwear was holding his bleeding arm and walking in the grass in the forest with difficulty. He was reluctant! The private army is gone, and the territory will definitely be privatized by the cold-blooded king. Even if he returned, he would only become a laughing stock.
The nobles who stand on their side are all bastards who follow the trend. Instead of going back to humiliate yourself, it is better to kill yourself on the spot! However, he was not reconciled. He is from the Javier family, and has been one of the best military nobles in the Kingdom of Malta for generations. Is the most powerful marquis in Malta. But since his grandfather's generation, he has always been feared by the king. Over the past few decades, Javier, who was originally a family of famous generals, has gradually declined under endless attacks. All kinds of troubles and grievances followed one after another. Could it be that his Javier family, who have resisted foreign enemies for hundreds of years, will perish in his generation? He is not willing to say anything, not reconciled to anything!
Accompanied by extreme unwillingness, Javier's vision gradually blurred, and suddenly he vaguely saw the distant fortress through the woods, and finally his knees softened, and Javier who had lost too much blood collapsed in the woodland of the woods.
