Mount and Blade

"Hurry up and evacuate immediately."

Hearing the rustling sound of getting ready to go, and the horses neighing, Green opened his eyes. Even though it was early spring, the cold was still unbearable, and his hands and exposed skin were chapped by the cold.

In the third month of the siege, the Orr Fortress was lost. This was inevitable. The kingdom's army that came to support was also ambushed. Only a small number of defeated soldiers joined forces with Lord Laban and the others, but Kadi seemed very calm. As expected, this man was secretly manipulating all of this. In just three and a half months after arriving at the frontier, Midland lost two cities in a row. This man's methods were quite terrifying.

I heard that Eric, the leader of the Knights of Tummel, was also injured, and that Captain Uris's legs were just strong enough to lead everyone in a surprise attack at night from Judah's 20,000-strong encirclement, and Laban's After the Arklow Knights broke off together, they saved enough strength to escape to the Rheinwood Castle. Only a few hundred suicide squads from Midland were left in the Orr Castle for the final delay, led by a man from the Arklow Knights. Led by the Viscount, he fought until death. His family will remember him.

The Rhinewood Castle cannot be supported by a single tree. The wooden castle cannot stop the Judah people, not to mention that even the soldiers are crowded inside. The battle line is too far and the supply line is easily robbed. After sorting out the supplies, everyone is preparing to evacuate to the hinterland of Midland. , but I didn’t expect that the Qiuda people specially sent a team of 10,000 people Wu was lying in ambush on the edge of the jungle on the left side of the road, but among these 10,000 people there were more than 4,000 Midland people and refugees. That group of refugees was driven here to rob the Midland army of food, which made The swords of the Midland army had to be swung at their own people. This battle demoralized the entire Midland army.

Although the three knights and their subordinates tried their best to fight with them, they were still unable to withstand the opponent's overwhelming numbers. In addition, the refugees were mixed in and made trouble, and they could not organize any effective charge to penetrate into the enemy's rear. Many knights were killed before they escaped from the rain of arrows. Break out from the encirclement, reorganize the team to surround and charge.

In any case, the total number of Midland troops currently united is 20,000. However, the chaos and the unclear battlefield situation make it difficult for the Midland army to organize an effective resistance, coupled with the sluggish Morale, once the centurion or the ten captains in charge of supervising the battle escape or are all killed, the entire team's morale will collapse and begin to flee.

Fortunately, Lord Laban was in the army and could always call on the soldiers who were about to collapse to reorganize the troops, preventing the army from fleeing in large numbers.

The Akro Knights and the other two teams of knights, led by Yuris and Eric, broke through the blockade and went around to the rear of Judah's army to counterattack.

At this time, Judah's Black Sheep Iron Lancer Heavy Cavalry Regiment, led by General Keen, rushed into Midland's army. Twenty thousand people were almost defeated by a thousand Black Sheep Iron Cavalry. Even Lord Laban It was also very dangerous to deal with this situation. Even if the soldiers had already raised their shields and set up their spears, many soldiers were still knocked backwards and were trampled to pieces by horse hooves.

And Yuris also understood that this was the time when he had to go back to boost morale. The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. Once the large army fell into a crazy rout, the battle would be over. It was an irreparable and extremely shameful defeat! !

Eight hundred white dragon knights pressed forward, followed closely by the Akro Knights. Eric's Turmel Knights continued to harvest the fleeing and defeated Juda archers, and fought with the small number of Juda spear troops who were chasing them. .

The White Dragon Knights dealt a heavy blow to the Black Sheep Cavalry before they could turn around. Midland's army was greatly encouraged, and the counterattack began. The counterattack of 20,000 infantry troops completely defeated the Juda people.

The long-term suppression finally found a breakthrough. For a time, the Midland army was up and down, and Master Laban also breathed a rare sigh of relief. In total, there were nearly 600 knights and their retinues who were seriously injured or killed after breaking out of the Orr Fortress. Upper Midland's late support infantry regiment had only half of its original 40,000 troops left, and due to the current ambush, the infantry regiment's available combat strength was only 15,000.

Many seriously injured soldiers had to be abandoned in Orr City, but it was good that the knight was captured, because usually their family would pay to ransom him, and the Juda people would not miss the opportunity to make such a big deal.

Laban sighed. Regardless of whether there are spies lurking in the team, they must quickly return to the center of the Midland border defense. Otherwise, they will have to fight in this wilderness. The consequences of such a large army without food and grass supplies are extremely terrible. .

The troops continued to move forward, and the patrols at night were intensified a lot. The troops who had been instructed to investigate spies monitored each other, and even had to report when they went to the toilet. Nothing could be done for a while.

It seems that the Galanz family is very dissatisfied with Kadi now. Kadi gets angry every time he looks at it. The family has been suppressed and has lost a lot of tax revenue. What does it have to do with him that the serfs cannot eat salt? Anyway, he is not William.

Green's body also had a lot of scars due to the recent continuous fighting, so much so that Cady was surprised that he and Baziso could survive such a high-intensity battle.

The power contained in the body is almost the same as that of an ordinary knight. No matter what the world is like, one must survive. This is the instinct of human struggle.

Anyway, the days to come will inevitably lead to a life of killing. The only thing that can accompany Green as he grows up is the knife and sword in his hand.

.........

Barkley.

After Green was settled in Burns as Ryan, Trunks arranged a noble status for Green by borrowing the son of his sister who eloped with a ranger ten years ago. It was not good, but it was better than being a commoner. However, Trunks' father seemed unhappy. Trunks revealed some revelations of the goddess of justice to the old man, but he didn't expect that the old man didn't believe it at all. He grabbed Trunks' ears and scolded him.

So Trunks had to take Green to see this old man with a weird temper - Kasarian, one of the famous grand dukes in Barkley.

I heard that he sponsored a lot of technological innovations. The old Duke of Pence was a disabled person, but he was a wise scholar. He sponsored many scholars and alchemists, so Pence gave birth to many new inventions. The matchlock gun was still a novelty in Barkley and was not widely popularized. His legs were deformed and twisted due to severe leprosy, so he could only sit in a wheelchair. I don’t know why he wore an iron mask on his face. It is said that when he was young, he was also a very powerful knight of the Holy Dragon Knights. However, as the only son in the family, he did not choose to be the leader of the Holy Dragon Knights, because there would be no Trunks.

When he knew that Trunks had directly served as the leader of the Holy Dragon Knights without asking for his opinion, he almost died. He was already very old. In order to keep the family bloodline, he asked himself, who was in his forties and had difficulty in legs, to have another child with his wife. Isn’t this just too much trouble?

Although Kazarian's leg was not so serious at that time, fortunately, God blessed him and he and his wife, who were in their forties, had a son under the care of the doctors of the Blue Disciples of Barkley. However, the child seemed to be born weak.
