I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 179 Bloody Battle

After a round of charge, the cavalry of Dunla and Gower switched positions and stopped not far from the battlefield where many corpses lay.

In the fight just now, both sides lost several cavalry, and Antigonus saw with his own eyes that a rival Gower heavy cavalry was shot in the shoulder by Viscount Gaskell's younger brother Brook with his cavalry, and the huge impact knocked him out. He was thrown off the horse, and then was caught under the horse's hoof by other people's horses, and was trampled to death alive.

But the nobleman also had several wounds on his body. The chain mail on his body was broken several times, and the interlocking grommets were scattered all over the ground. The blood soaked the inner clothing he was wearing inside. But even so, he still had a resolute expression on his face, holding the knight's long sword tightly in his right hand, staring at Viscount Longfellow opposite him.

Viscount Longfellow killed two Dunla cavalrymen with his own hands. The long sword in his hand was still dripping bright red blood, because his face was covered by the visor on the helmet, so others could not see him The expression on the face.

"Soldiers of Dunla, charge!"

Brook held up the knight's long sword, shouted again, and then led the heavy cavalry around him to run forward. Antigonus and other light cavalry followed closely without hesitation.As a result, the cavalry on both sides launched a high-speed charge again, and they pierced through fiercely like two sharp knives, bringing a rain of blood all over the sky!
This time no one was using a lance, everyone was fighting with a sword.

A Dunla cavalryman took advantage of the inertia of the horse's high-speed charge to slash his long sword at the oncoming Gower cavalry. The latter just wanted to raise his sword to defend, but his neck was cut open by the long sword as fast as lightning, and the blood immediately gushes out.Before Dunla led the cavalry to celebrate for killing the enemy, he swung a ferocious war hammer from his side and slammed his head. The helmet worn by the cavalry did not block the blow of the hammer at all, and it was completely flattened like the head go down.

A Dunla-led light cavalryman intended to kill the Gower-collared heavy cavalry in front of him, but his long sword slashed behind the opponent's chain mail and failed to break through the armor's defense. Instead, he slid away after leaving a spark , The young light cavalry immediately showed shock on his face, and then Gore led the heavy cavalry to turn around and cut off his head with the expression of shock.

During the melee, the pack horse under Antigonus was hit head-on by the horses of the heavy cavalry led by Gower. The old pack horse let out a mournful cry and then fell heavily to the side. After coming out, he rolled on the ground several times in embarrassment, at least avoiding the fate of being crushed by the pack horse.

Holding the dagger of Siphus tightly in his hand, the Gor-collared heavy cavalryman who knocked him over grinned and charged towards him. Ke swallowed his saliva and made a gesture to meet the enemy, but he also knew in his heart that as an infantryman, his winning rate was almost zero when facing heavy cavalry!
"Drink!"

Gore led the heavy cavalry to charge forward, and the scimitar in his hand slashed at Antigonus' head mercilessly. Thinking that his blow would be dodged, a hint of anger appeared on his face, and he drove his horse and continued to charge towards Antigonus. Seeing this, Antigonus' heart swelled, and he grabbed the ground and broke it in the middle. The incoming lance roared and rushed towards the opponent. Before meeting the enemy, he raised the half of the lance in his hand above his head and threw it vigorously in the posture of throwing a javelin. Gore led the heavy cavalry when they saw the fast flying lance The lance was shocked, and he quickly grabbed the reins, making the horse under his crotch scream and stand up. The lance pierced the horse's soft neck, blocked a blow for him, and then fell to the ground with a wail.

Taking advantage of this moment, Antico gritted his teeth and rushed forward, before the heavy cavalry got up, trying to condescend to kill him, but the strength of this heavy cavalry was beyond Antiko's imagination, he Roaring, he overturned Antigonus, then rode on Antigonus' body, and slammed Antigonus's face with his gloved fist, one punch, two punches, three punches, straight He was beaten so badly, he has always been pampered since time travel, how could he have suffered such a severe beating, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen soon.

"Damn chops!"

Antigonus was so angry that he had been beaten all the time. He suddenly roared, and the right hand that touched the dagger grabbed the hilt suddenly. Before the heavy cavalry punched, the dagger in his hand was raised above his head, holding the sword He stabbed hard at the enemy's chest. This blow contained all the strength in his body. It directly penetrated the chain mail on the Gore heavy cavalry and sank into his body. The Gore heavy cavalry screamed. With a sound, he looked at the dagger sunk into his chest in disbelief, and opened his mouth to say something, but the blood gushing from his throat quickly blocked his words.

Pushing away the body of the heavy cavalry, Antigonus lay panting heavily on the muddy grass, the taste of rust in his mouth made his stomach churn, and a burst of vomiting came to his heart, but he had been on the battlefield after all. People, after a while, they recovered a lot.He got up from the ground unsteadily, and spit bloodshot saliva on the ground again.Only then did he notice that the battle on the battlefield was over. The cavalry on both sides withdrew their troops, ignoring them who had fallen from their horses. In the distance, the battle between the infantry was still going on, but it was not much different from Antigonus. relationship.

"Cough cough cough..."

Antigonus coughed a few times, pulled out the Siphus dagger from the heavy cavalryman's chest, wiped off the blood on it with the burqa over his armor, and put it back into the scabbard around his waist.He didn't know why the cavalry on both sides didn't continue to fight, but it was good, so he could look for opportunities to escape, so as not to be accidentally shot in the head by the enemy who appeared from behind.

He wanted to escape now, but he glanced at the infantry who were still fighting in the distance, and suddenly thought of the Morse family who took him in, and thought of the revenge that Tuttle was thinking of, he gritted his teeth, but he still did not run away, but found A corpse with good armor ran to the corpse, ready to remove the chain mail from the corpse. He had some impression of the corpse's identity. It seemed to be a Dunla heavy cavalry following Brook.

The chain mail of this era is somewhat troublesome to put on, but Antigonus can do it by himself. He took off the chain mail with great difficulty, put it on himself, and only fastened it where he could reach it, and then picked up the chain mail. The long sword in the hands of the corpse, silently said a word of apology to him in his heart, and then walked towards an unowned horse not far away.

The war horse was guarding the body of its master, silently touching the corpse lying in a pool of blood with its mouth, as if it wanted him to get up and continue fighting on its own. Antigonus glanced at the corpse on the ground, The corpse was wearing a Gower-collared burqa, the young face was stained with blood, and a hideous mouth was poked out of the abdomen, and the intestines flowed out.

Antigonus looked away after only one glance. He reached out his hand to touch the mourning horse, turned over and rode on it in a few steps, and grabbed the rein. The horse was suddenly held by a stranger, looking a little irritable, but Antico tried his best to appease it, and let its emotions gradually stabilize.

"Let's go, from now on, I'm your new master." Antigonus said to it, regardless of its opinion, tightened the reins, and drove the horse towards the infantry in the melee.

The heavy cavalry from both sides who had already withdrawn from the battle looked at the cavalry who appeared suddenly, because Antigonus didn't have the burqa that symbolized his identity, so they couldn't recognize this man's identity, but the cavalry Di who was mixed in the crowd En recognized Antigon's bruised and swollen face, and then shouted in surprise: "Isn't that Antigon? He didn't die!"

"Antico?"

After hearing his words, Brooke, the leader, turned to look at the young man and asked, "Who is Antigonus?"

"It's a Macedonian who was conscripted into the army. Before that, he was still fighting with us. I didn't expect that he didn't die in battle."

After listening to Dean's words, Brook fell into deep thought. At this moment, Tennyson suddenly pointed at the cavalry led by Gower, and shouted, "Look, the cavalry led by Gower has dispatched again!"

Brook immediately followed his words and looked at the Gower cavalry who had returned to the battlefield again. With a bad heart, he quickly raised his bloody long sword and shouted: "Follow me to charge, let us fight side by side with the brave Antigonus! "

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

After his words fell, the cavalry under his command came out in full force, and once again greeted the cavalry led by Gower.

Antigonus also noticed the cavalry led by Gaul charging towards him. It was impossible for him not to panic, but after he noticed that his own cavalry was also dispatched, he was relieved and accelerated the speed of the horse under his crotch. After the warband the archers shot past in the bow and slew past.

"Ride, cavalry!"

Hearing movement behind him, a Gower-led archer wearing a felt hat looked back and found a young cavalryman charging towards him. Antico had already ridden a horse for a distance of more than ten meters, and came behind him. The sharp long sword in his hand drew an arc, and chopped down the archer wearing a felt hat from behind.

Seeing this, a dozen other archers screamed and ran to the side, but how could Antigonus let them escape smoothly? Like a god of killing, he swung a butcher knife between these unarmed archers and killed several The archer was killed, and the rest of the people were so frightened that they fled in one direction regardless.

Antigonus knew that there was no point in continuing to chase them down. He glanced at the battle group that was still fighting in melee. Almost only the armored infantry standing in the front row were actually fighting. The other peasants and soldiers were either fishing in troubled waters, or Shouting and cheering at the back, some peasants and soldiers standing behind also spotted Antigon, and each of them bravely pointed at Antigon with a pitchfork, with nervousness and panic written all over their faces.

Looking at those filthy pitchforks, Antigonus smiled contemptuously, clamped the horse's belly, pointed his sword straight ahead, and rushed over with a loud shout.Seeing the heavy cavalry rushing towards him, the peasants and soldiers who had no military training only felt that every time the horse's hooves landed, they hit their hearts hard, making them tremble accordingly.

Facts have proved that in the face of the charge of the heavy cavalry, the peasants and soldiers have no resistance at all. Before Antigonus rushed into the crowd, those peasants and soldiers holding pitchforks to embolden themselves were already pale with fright, fucked up, and went straight to the crowd. He fled in a direction where there were no cavalry nearby.Antigonus didn't pay attention to the fleeing cowards either. He roared and rushed into the crowd, manipulating his horses to knock down the peasants and soldiers standing in front of him, while slashing left and right with his sharp blade, knocking those peasants without armor protection to the ground. Soldiers beheaded.

Although Antigonus was alone, but looking at the man who fell under his sword, the other peasants and soldiers ran away screaming, and the armored infantry and peasant soldiers who were still fighting in front turned around quickly when they heard the movement behind them. They saw Antigonus, who was covered in blood all over his body, galloping towards him on a war horse. He was ferocious, and the sharp blade in his hand took the lives of several people, just like a knight from hell!
"run!"

The peasants and soldiers didn't know anything else, but they were very familiar with the trick of running ahead of time when the wind turned the rudder. After a certain person took the lead and howled, the others also turned and fled. Although the armored infantry wanted to stop them, the surrounding The defeat of the soldiers also hit their morale, and looking at the surrounding enemies with high morale, they also turned around and fled with the peasants and soldiers.

Seeing that his own infantry was defeated by one person, Viscount Longfellow, who was entangled by Dunla's cavalry, looked up to the sky and screamed. He felt that his heart was full of unwillingness. Ke, wished he could get rid of the cavalry that was haunting him now, and rushed to kill that damned cavalry, but Brook never gave him a chance to break through.

No matter how unwilling Viscount Longfellow was, looking at the enemies surrounding him, he could only helplessly order to retreat.

……

Seeing Viscount Longfellow leading the rout and retreating, the soldiers of Viscount Dunla on the battlefield raised their weapons and cheered loudly. Those peasants and soldiers who had participated in the battle were all counting how many people they had just killed, and how many people could they receive? No matter how many silver coins, those who did not kill people are also happy, because they can get a three-year tax holiday for participating in the war.

Antigonus, who was covered in blood, was still riding on the horse. He looked at the corpses around him, panting heavily, and he didn't feel it just now. Now that he was out of the battle, he felt that all his strength was drained, and his muscles were also very tight. sore.

At this moment, Gaskell, the Viscount of Dunla, came to Antigon on his horse and followed by the guards. The Viscount looked at Antigon with a smile on his face and asked, "What is your name, warrior?" ?”

"My name is Antik, Lord Viscount." Antik replied, he knew that he should get off his horse and salute given his current status, but he no longer had the strength to do this.

Gaskell also knew about Antigonus's situation, he raised his hand to stop the guard behind him who was about to yell, and said gently: "Very well, Antigonus, you have performed extremely well in this war, wait until you return to London Nanbao, I will invite you to have dinner with me."

"Thank you very much, Lord Viscount."

Antigonus stroked his chest and said.
