"Sir, our right and left wings are about to collapse. The archers have fired more than a dozen arrows. The ammunition of the ballistas is also running out. The centurion of the longbowmen has already reported the current status of the troops." The flag bearer raised the military flag, and the orderly soldier said eagerly to Bertande.
After Bertandler cut down a cavalryman with one sword, he wiped the blood on his forehead, looked at Lin Fenghan who was attacking in a large scale, and shouted sternly: "The first and second archer brigades immediately assisted the heavy infantry in attacking the center wing!"
"Immediately use the command flag to call back the more than 30 people who were guarding Hapu. The general's guard will immediately charge with me and defeat the enemy's left wing."
"Kill!"
"Go!"
Bertande became fierce. The heavy cavalry stopped covering the light infantry and directly tangled up to rush towards the town's spearmen's defense line regardless of casualties.
"Kill!"
At this moment, the light and heavy infantry on the left and right sides of the Elantra army have entered a state of charge, and the majestic torrent of steel inserted fiercely into the front line of Bertand's central army.
Pfft!
Hiss!
Spears and horses collided, the roars of the warriors and the neighing of the horses kept ringing, and the rigorous fighting machines kept running, like a meat grinder, someone would die every moment.
"Oops, our front has been breached."
"We are surrounded!"
"Everyone, let's run away together!"
"Hold on, don't blame me for being rude to those who dare to run away."
¡¡
In an instant, the left wing of the Elantra army began to collapse, and two squadrons of spear militiamen began to flee.
Bertand wiped the blood on his face and shouted: "Little Elante, you little brat, although you have some fighting talent, you are still far behind me. Brothers, roar, I am here to support you. "
Lin Fenghan turned around and looked around, horrified. Half of the more than two hundred archers had already penetrated the center wing of the formation. The cavalry on the left and right wings had already penetrated the enemy's center wing. They were only thirty meters away from completely penetrating the center line. But there were only more than 70 heavy spearmen who stood firmly in place like a wall. In less than two minutes, more than 160 cavalry suffered more than 30 casualties. Although the scattered troops were frightened, they still surrounded the cavalry army under the order of the flag bearers of Centurion Bertand. A squadron of heavy sword infantry is coming two hundred meters away. On the center wing of the Elantra army, the spear infantry front is already in danger. It is far away from the rear and the archer army cannot be commanded. Is it just lost?
"No!"
Lin Fenghan's heart was racing wildly, and he took out the general's horn resolutely and blew it hard.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
¡¡
The thick charge horn sounded for the first time. In a large-scale battle, once the army enters combat status, the general can only issue two clear orders to the soldiers in combat, one is to retreat, and the other is to charge the entire army.
"Order the flag bearer of the general's guard to follow the heavy cavalry squadron and charge towards the western archer group!"
"The general's bodyguards all obey the order and join me in attacking the left wing."
Lin Fenghan wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeves. The cold chainmail had heated up from the high degree of exercise. The heavy helmet made it impossible for him to ignore the greasy feeling on his body.
"Heavy Infantry Brigade! Charge!"
"Town garrison! Charge!"
"Archer brigade! Charge with me!"
"The buckler swordsman charges with me!"
¡¡
The Elantra army, the elite squad captains, squadron captains, and centurions all gathered their troops and stood there regardless of where they were inserted. On a battlefield one kilometer wide, the center wing! Right wing! On a land of 600 to 700 meters horizontally, the soldiers rushed towards the enemy's rear without hesitation. The battlefield, which was only two or three people from the front line, truly turned into a full-scale battle.
"Brothers, would you like to be a true warrior, or would you rather be an eternal coward?" Lin Fenghan slowed down and looked at the fifty or sixty spear infantry who abandoned their brothers and ran away, and said resolutely: " At this moment, our entire army has entered a state of charge, and victory is about to come. I swear that as long as I can win, every soldier will get his own land. Anyone who is willing to be a hero, come with me!"
"Land!"
The fleeing army stopped once and saw that their commander did not punish them at all. The passionate young people felt guilty for their previous actions. With the reward of the land, their morale recovered for a time.??In a state of bravery.
"General, I am willing to fight with you.
"I would like it too!"
"Assemble the Fifth Squadron, brothers, charge with the Baron!" Fifty or sixty people tangled together at one time, following the general's guard and running towards the left wing.
¡¡
"Old Bertande, grandpa is here to repair you, you should die!" Lin Fenghan had the army in hand, looking at Bertande who was charging thirty meters away from him, laughing and cursing.
"Child Elante, I really underestimated you. I thought the real victory would have to wait at least ten minutes, but it's great that you appeared in front of me to seek death." Bertande laughed and suddenly gave up. The helmet on his head, the long sword pointing at Lin Fenghan, said happily.
"I think so too!"
"ah!"
Lin Fenghan's eyes narrowed and his eyes were fixed on Bertand. He held the long sword in his hand and rushed forward.
"Leave that kid to me, you don't have to worry about it." Bertande waved his hand seriously and led the general's guard of nearly twenty people to charge towards Lin Fenghan's general's guard.
The black horse and the yellow horse galloped together. At the moment when they crossed, Lin Fenghan and Bertande's long swords collided fiercely.
Ding!
The huge force caused Lin Fenghan to release the long sword from his hand, and in an instant, more than ten knights collided and fell to the ground.
Hey!
On horseback, Bertande knocked the long sword out of Lin Fenghan's hand and then turned around and threw a dagger at Lin Fenghan's junior.
Ding dong!
The sophisticated chainmail blocked the sharp edge of the dagger, but the black horse under Lin Fenghan did not have such good luck. With a neigh, the black horse with the dagger inserted into its back jumped up crazily and threw Lin Fenghan to the grass. superior.
"Protect the general!"
The four knights who had fallen to the ground and were seriously injured stood up strongly and approached Lin Fenghan with a roar. The remaining knights of the general's guard reined in their horses and ran towards Lin Fenghan.
"Haha! Brat, you're dead." Bertande shook his stiff right hand with a sinister smile, and laughed wildly in a roundabout way.
"General, quickly retreat and mount your horse, we will cover you." The middle-aged knight in his thirties said resolutely with blood at the corner of his mouth and his long sword pointed at the enemy.
"No, the spearmen behind will arrive in twenty meters, let's go together." Lin Fenghan regretfully spat out the grass in his mouth and said movedly to the knight beside him.
"No! Baron, my chest is already injured and I can't survive. You two help the general get on the horse quickly. The Elant family has been kind to me in raising me, and today is the time for me to repay the kindness." The middle-aged knight smiled bitterly. Touched his chest. At this moment, Lin Fenghan was shocked to discover that a knight's spearhead had pierced the hard armor and was firmly stuck on the iron sheet. A stream of red blood was slowly emerging from the clothes.
Tears appeared in Lin Fenghan's eyes unknowingly, and he clutched the commander's sword in pain. Lin Fenghan, heartbroken, quickly ran towards the horse that lost its owner five meters away. For the first time, he truly felt the cruelty and pain of war. The lives of soldiers were no longer just living numbers, but rows of feelings of trust and desire.
"Brothers, come on!" Wiping away tears, Lin Fenghan watched with tears as one knight after another made walls and swords for themselves to protect their arrogance, and Lin Fenghan got back on the horse. He secretly swore in his heart that he would not take any risks in the next war. Even as a commander, he must bring a standard knight's spear.
The whole army is in a state of charge. Either you die or I die. At this time, the advantage of numbers appeared again. Even though the soldiers of Bertand's army became elite again, the advantage of 100 people versus 500 people appeared.
On the battlefield with constant roars, Bertande's right-wing front collapsed on a large scale. On the center flank, the frontline town pikemen began to collapse, and the heavy sword infantry began to collapse.
"Sir, it's bad, stop chasing people in a hurry, our front is about to collapse." Lieutenant Bertande rode eagerly and shouted to Bertande and others who were chasing Lin Fenghan.
"What!"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Seeing that the opportunity was not good, Bertand blew the general's horn loudly, but the army that had lost confidence at this moment could not tell the difference at all, or ignored the horn of charge. Human fear made them run away frantically.
On the battlefield, a small-scale rout can be stopped and they can fight again, but a large-scale rout cannot be stopped unless the commander is right behind them and has a high prestige. Unfortunately, Bertande is at least 500 meters away from the right wing. , unable to stop the soldiers who abandoned their armor.
"IlanYou kid, if you have the guts, don't run away. General Guards, keep chasing me. "
"Adjutant! Come with me to the central wing to stabilize the troops." Bertande gave Lin Fenghan a hard look, then quickly rode his horse and ran towards the central wing with the adjutant.
"Baron, we are about to win." The centurion, a spearman in the town, killed a fallen cavalryman and happily announced the good news to Lin Fenghan.
"Really? I really didn't expect that Bertande was so powerful. My strength can't shake him at all. My martial arts is too strong." Lin Fenghan stared at Bertande who was riding a horse and bandaging the cracked tiger's mouth in shock. , exclaimed.
"Baron, I have heard of Bertande before. I heard that he also practiced the skills of the ancient knights and possessed the inheritance of the ancient knights. In the battle just now, we had three cavalrymen, and seven militiamen were killed by him. Damn it, it's so powerful." The general's guard cavalry looked at Bertande's back and discussed with confusion.
"Oh! My beloved brothers, general guards, spearmen, and buckler swordsmen, the moment of victory is coming. Now let us defeat the enemies in front together." Lin Fenghan looked at the more than 200 people beside him. Looking at the one hundred and twenty people on the opposite side, he raised his sword and cheered.
"Go!"
The fiery morale was loud again. The buckler swordsmen and spearmen once again exerted their potential and advanced dozens of meters.
"All heavy cavalry are no longer entangled with the enemy cavalry. Listen to my order and immediately forcibly assault the enemy's spearmen's front line." Lin Fenghan shouted, hiding behind the general's guard, riding his horse to attack from the gap, more than sixty people Under his leadership, the heavy cavalry suffered more than ten casualties and finally made a surprise attack behind the enemy.
"Knights, turn around and charge again." Lin Fenghan shouted hoarsely, staying firmly in the center of more than a dozen generals and knights, looking fiercely at the backs of the spearmen, and the more than 30 people who turned around and rushed over again. The enemy's heavy cavalry made a fierce final charge.
At this moment, the disposable knight's spear has long been discarded. The cavalry rely on the natural impact of the horse to splash and collide with the opponent. The 1.2 meter long sword is too short for the cavalry, and only at the moment of contact Only then will the weapon be effective.
"It's terrible, there are too many cavalry on our rear flank."
¡°I can¡¯t stop it!¡±
"Run away!"
"Don't run away, hold on, General Bertand will come to support us."
¡¡
The soldiers and officers continued to discuss. Slowly, one infantryman dropped his sword, two, three, and more than fifty people began to flee. The remaining elites were unable to stop Elante's army.
"Surrender without killing!"
"Squat down, masthead!"
¡¡
"ha!"
"General, the enemy has escaped! The cavalry have also escaped." Guard knight Kelande waved his sword excitedly and laughed loudly.
The left wing, this hard bone, was finally defeated. The Elantra side took the opportunity to pursue them and captured more than a hundred people.
"The buckler swordsman stays behind to take care of the prisoners, and the others will follow me to support the center wing. The moment of victory is coming soon." Two minutes later, Lin Fenghan looked at the surrendered enemy excitedly, and waved his hand to attack the center wing.
The situation on the battlefield at this time is very clear. The left and right wings of Elant's side have been completely victorious. Some of the troops are chasing the enemy, and most of them are led by centurions in the middle of the battlefield. With the participation of more than 300 archers from the rear, Elant's army From the sky, it seemed that Bertand's army had been surrounded.
"No!"
"How could this happen? I was about to be defeated by a group of farmers and a child!"
"it's out of the question."
Bertande looked at the situation on the battlefield with a gloomy face, and resolutely commanded the remaining nearly four hundred soldiers to form a square formation to resist the three-sided attack of the Elante army. As an excellent general, he will never turn around and run away or surrender until the last moment.
On the green mountains, a disorganized army of more than a hundred cavalry, spearmen, swordsmen, and farmers appeared in the southwest of the battlefield.
"Sir, our reinforcements are coming, they are scattered troops composed of surrendered knights." The adjutant looked at the eagle flag above excitedly and shouted with joy.
"What?" Bertand turned around and looked at the flag of the army more than 1,200 meters away. Perhaps seeing the war in front of him, the army of rebel knights suddenly accelerated and ran towards the battlefield quickly.
"Baron, what's wrong, there's an army coming from the southwest. Their appearance and flags seem to be those of the knights who secretly colluded with the enemy. The situation is not good. What should we do now?" The light cavalry chasing the enemy's heavy cavalry suddenlyThis time, he nervously said to Lin Fenghan.
"What! Oh my God!"
"Am I going to die soon after I just appeared in this world?" Lin Fenghan looked nervously to the southwest. When the chaotic army appeared in his eyes, his heart suddenly tightened and he sighed in despair.
"Baron, cheer up! We still have more than 800 people, and there are less than 400 of them. Although everyone is tired, they still have the strength to fight."
"Baron, I have a way to win." Kelande frowned, suddenly patted his thigh, and said with a laugh.
Lin Fenghan happily grasped the reins and looked at Ke Langde's dark face. He said happily: "Speak quickly. If your method is effective, I will give you the title of Centurion."
"Really? That's great, Baron. As long as we kill Bertande, then the enemy's morale will collapse and we will definitely win." Colande laughed, excited.
Lin Fenghan frowned and said with difficulty: "Botande is a very cunning person with great martial arts skills and great strength. In the duel just now, I saw that he didn't use the knight's spear and I didn't use it, but he threw a dagger from behind. My butt hurts now, what a bastard, I finally remember him."
"Baron, we can't beat him in close combat, we can use long-range weapons to kill him!" Ke Langde looked at Lin Fenghan's buttocks and suggested quickly.
"Long-range weapons? Now our archers have already gone into battle, and the bows and arrows have been shot out. The catapults are too big to move. Now the battle line is stretched and they can no longer support the battlefield. We surround the enemy on three sides, and the ballistae is also quickly running out of ammunition. Direct-fire weapons I also worry too much that I can't use it. What else can we use to penetrate the chain armor and kill Bertande?" Lin Fenghan bit the hard chain mail painfully and said sadly. He has already understood how powerful this kind of chain armor is in the previous battle. Long arrows will be stuck in small gaps, and long sword slashes can be blocked more than ten times. Unless they are directly pierced or armor-piercing weapons, spears, Only spears, halberds, and knight's spears can kill the general in chainmail.
"Baron, I am a master at fishing at home. Within twenty meters, any fish larger than fifty centimeters cannot escape my harpoon or spear, as long as I can get closer to Bertande by twenty meters, and If he is not moving quickly, then I can kill him." Bertand dismounted and found a broken spear from the battlefield, and said confidently as he sharpened the spear with his long sword.
"Really? Then I will create opportunities for you, and then the task of deciding whether the entire battle will be won or not will be left to you. I hope you won't let me down." Lin Fenghan looked at the serious cavalry with joy and encouraged him happily. .
"Haha! I will definitely not let you down." Ke Langde laughed, cut the spear to one meter and two meters long, and mounted the horse confidently.
"Let's go!" The group of people quickly ran towards the center wing battlefield.
"Botande, son, I'm here, surrender quickly!" Lin Fenghan hid in the middle of the general's guards and stopped outside the spearmen's defense line, pointing at Bertande in the military formation.
"Little Elante, you should surrender as soon as possible. Our reinforcements are coming. If you surrender now, I will suggest to the Duke that you should be spared. Otherwise, you will be doomed." Hap laughed and walked out under the cover of his attendants. , blinked and pointed at Lin Fenghan and said proudly.
"Happ, you did a great job. Thank you very much for your support. I will thank the Duke for your achievements." Bertande smiled uncomfortably, praised Hap against his will, and walked out of the military formation. The surrounding soldiers gave way.
"Little Elante, I really didn't expect that you, a little brat, would dare to challenge me now, but no one can save you this time, so get out of my way. If you are a man, just fight with me!"
Forty meters!
Thirty meters!
Twenty meters! Bertand's figure was getting closer and closer.
¡°Grandson, accept death!¡±
A sharp short spear suddenly appeared and shot into Bertand's heart in a flash.
Poof!
At the critical moment, Bertande moved a little to the side in time, which caused the short spear aimed at the heart to deflect on his shoulder.
"Hurry up and protect Sir." Hap shouted, quickly ran to Bertande's side, and caught Bertande's body staggeringly.
"Happ, thank youah! No!"
A ashamed smile appeared on the corner of Bertand's mouth, and suddenly his brows trembled, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. The brave general did not die by the enemy's spear but by the assassin's dagger. Ironic things must have happened on the battlefield.
Hapu sneered and pulled out the green dagger and ran quickly towards Lin Fenghan. His fat and constantly shaking body made it difficult to imagine such a fat person.?People also have such magical speed.
Silence!
Dead silence!
There was silence!
"Jazz is dead!"
"Bertande is dead!"
"The general is dead!"
"Bertande is dead, surrender quickly!"
"Surrender!"
"Surrender!"
"Descend!"
"Descend!"
"Descend!"
¡¡
Once the coach died, the soldiers who were barely resisting the Elantra army lost their fighting spirit. The shouts of surrender grew stronger and stronger, and the entire battlefield was enveloped by this overwhelming sound.
The frightened Bertande army dropped their weapons, one person, two, three Those who wanted to escape were blocked by Hapu's army in the rear.
The shouts from all sides caused Bertande's army to collapse. Except for a dozen light cavalry archers who escaped, the remaining more than 500 people were all taken prisoner.
"Haha, we won!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"Long live the Baron!"
"Long live the general!"
"Long live the general!"
¡After the bloody killing, all the more than 900 people alive waved and celebrated in excitement.
"Uncle, I really thank you." Lin Fenghan jumped off the horse happily, hugged Hapu tightly, and patted his back excitedly.
"My dear nephew, this is necessary. I am willing to sacrifice everything for my family." Hapu chuckled and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, shouting.
Lin Fenghan silently patted Hapu's belly, took an excited breath, held back the excitement in his heart, and loudly pointed to the hesitating army 400 meters away and said: "All cavalry guards, charge with me. , target the rebellious knight four hundred meters away!"
"My Lord Knight, the front line has collapsed, the Duke's men have lost, and Sir Bertand is dead." The fleeing horse archers looked at the belated reinforcements, said helplessly, and hurried towards the west road to continue the meal.
"What!" The rebel knights looked at each other and nodded in decision. Regardless of the infantry around them, they picked up their trusted followers, discarded their heavy weapons, and six or seven of them followed the horse archers and fled to the west.
