Black Iron Crown

Chapter 148: Chase before the battle

   In this way, the knights found that no matter how they used the spurs on their boots to stimulate the horse, they would never catch up with the enemy.

   It is clear that the opponent is close to him, but this short distance seems to have become a heaven and cannot be crossed.

  The senior horse archers looked at the knights hanging behind them with a smile on their faces. They didn't even push the speed of the horse to the extreme, so they could easily throw away the enemy.

   Some people even started turning left and right on horseback to make fancy moves. This behavior further angered the knights who followed closely, and the anger in their hearts was burning like a fire.

  Some riders shoot arrows in front of them, skillfully shooting arrows at the group of enemies behind them.

The arrows did not cause much damage. Only one of the arrows fell from the horseback. The remaining arrows hit the knights and all were bounced off. The more lucky ones were hung on their robes. On top of the chain armor, they couldn't penetrate their armor at all.

   The effect of shooting is not great, but the hearts of these knights are almost exploded. Although there are no casualties, the insult is self-evident.

"I'm going to kill them!" The knight in the front let out a roar full of anger. Two arrows were already hung on his body, and he could clearly see the contemptuous and mocking expression on the face of the enemy in front of him. .

   Just when they wanted to speed up the horse to rush up, the veteran horse archers turned the horse's head and instantly changed a direction to continue running swiftly.

   These knights are not as fast as each other, they can only follow the enemy's **** completely as if they were washed by a hunter.

Another burst of arrows flew over, and the knights lowered their heads and raised their shields to prevent the arrows from hitting the peepholes in the helmets. They circled in front of the two stations, and even ran to the army formation of Count Jebo. Moving away, several knights could hardly control the overburdened horses, and even injured some of the infantrymen who were advancing.

   A group of cavalrymen are chasing and fighting in front of them. The soldiers who are advancing hesitate, they are afraid that they will be affected and injured when they advance.

   In response, Count Zhebo furiously shouted: "Don't worry about them! Rush up! Rush up!"

"I don't care about these **** idiots! We are directly attacking the enemy's formation!" In fact, Count Zhebo was a little confused when he saw Rainer's neat army. As a high lord, he knew what military discipline means. , Which means that the enemy not only needs to have strict military laws, but also needs to train the soldiers for many years.

The military discipline of the soldiers under Count Zhebo is not bad, and can be considered top-notch in the contemporary era, but it still pales in comparison to placing them in front of Rainer's army.

   Therefore, I don't want the soldiers to hesitate because of the twenty light cavalry.

Soldiers under strict orders can only obey the orders of Earl Zhebo, but his vassals and the lords who took refuge in him are a bit arrogant. No one wants their soldiers to suffer casualties because of their own people. If they can It would be better to let Count Zhebo's army step on this thunder first.

At the same time, the other lords were also entangled with the lords who took refuge in Count Jeppa. Count Jeppa had an advantage in numbers, and even some small hills that were difficult to attack had to face the combined attack of the two lords. .

Different from the strengths of lords in other places, the imperial royal family had a very strong control in the north, and the size of the lords who were entrusted would not be very different. In addition, the royal family took care of Earl Zhebo. He didn't dare to go to war, so the distribution of territories in the North has not changed much for more than two decades.

   The situation here is completely different from the inside of the empire. If the baron inside the empire has uploaded a large amount of land, it is possible that his strength surpasses some small earls.

   There are a lot of people who have the title of earl, but people with huge territories and strong strength have so many opportunities. Therefore, the empire can distinguish between the strong and the weak not only by the title.

   However, the size and strength of the lords in the north are not much different, so two lords besiege a lord, so long means that the lord will have to face more than twice as many enemy troops.

In this way, the battle was very difficult. The soldiers on the top of the hill fought hard against the enemy. They were all given generous rewards, just like hungry wolves, screaming and rushing toward the enemy. The enemy waved his sword and spear.

   Even so, their battle is very difficult. There are too many enemies. After they have just solved the enemy in front of them, the next enemy will immediately rush up, and they will not even have time to breathe.

In this way, under such battle conditions, the soldiers were killed and wounded in large numbers. The paper and broken arm covered the hills, and the blood even flowed slowly down the hills, and everyone's body was full of blood and mud. , Can’t tell if it’s his own or his enemy.

The enemy's offensive is extremely fierce. They are frantically attacking the private person in front of them. In their eyes, this is no longer the enemy, but one by one, one by one, the ladder to improve their lives, in their eyes. , These people are pieces of copper that can make them live a good life.

   It is not only the lords of the royalists who promised great profits for victory, but also the minions of Earl Zeppa who also promised rewards for victory.

The chase has been going on for a long time, and the knights can clearly feel that the horse under their hips has begun to pant. They looked at the enemies in front of them, and they were only a little short, just a little bit away. Sword and kill those nasty bugs.

At this time, the knights have at least seven or eight arrows inserted into their bodies, like hedgehogs, pursuing the enemies in front of them. Three of them have fallen off their horses, all of them are knights. More than a dozen people fell.

   There are even a few horses of the obedient followers. If it weren’t for the horses under their hips that were carefully selected horses, I’m afraid their situation at this time would not be too different from that of the followers.

   "Puff!"

A war horse finally couldn't bear such a rush and fell to the ground, kicking its legs continuously, dying for the final struggle, and the knight on horseback also flew out as the war horse leaned forward, and fell on the ground. After a few rolls, he couldn't move, and he couldn't stop life and death. Seeing his distorted appearance, he might have broken his neck by huge force.

   The fallen war horse caused a great obstacle to the knights behind. The two knights couldn't avoid it abruptly, causing the horse to fall and flew out like the previous knight.

   In this way, the remaining knights finally stopped competing with the veteran horse archers, and turned their horses toward their army.
