The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

After the army of the Kingdom of Swadia, led by King Haraus, chased them to the edge of the woods, they did not follow them immediately.

After King Naharaus rode his war horse around the entrance of the forest for a few times, he suddenly laughed loudly. The captain of the guard at the side asked him why he was laughing. King Harlaus said that he had already seen through King Ragnar's little plan, and now he has a way to break it.

The solution King Harus came up with was also very simple, which was to set fire. In his opinion, as long as a big fire was set, the Nords who had originally gone into the forest would have to come out obediently. die.

Since the king wanted to set a fire, the soldiers below naturally did not dare to disobey, and immediately came to the edge of the woods with torches to light a fire.

However, what made King Haraus dumbfounded was that the fire was extinguished as soon as it was lit. After that, only thick smoke came out. When the wind blew it, it choked his own soldiers and made them cough.

What King Haraus didn't know was that this forest was very close to the sea, so there was plenty of water vapor. Unlike the forests in the inland areas of the Kingdom of Swadia, it was difficult to ignite unless an incendiary bomb was used directly. , but King Haraus obviously does not have such advanced weapons in his hands, so he can only ask his soldiers to use torches to light the fire. I don’t know how long it will take to really light the fire that can force out the enemy army. !

In addition, the soldiers on the Nord Kingdom side are not dead! By the time the fire is about to be lit here, it has already been moved to other places. By then, King Haraus's fire will only burn lonely.

After discovering this embarrassing fact, King Haraus was also a little embarrassed, but he quickly said that even if they dismount and fight, the knights of the Kingdom of Swadia are the most powerful warriors on the continent. They are afraid of the Royal Guards of the Kingdom of Nord, not to mention that they still have the upper hand in terms of strength, so what if they choose to fight on foot and have a collision with the opponent in the woods!

After saying this, King Haraus set an example and led more than a thousand soldiers under his command to get into the woods first.

The other kings and nobles of Swadia had already gone into the forest when they saw the king. Naturally, they would not be able to stay outside as spectators. After all, what if King Haraus was killed by the enemy because he went deep alone or was killed by the enemy? Even if he was captured alive, the last thing he would lose would be the face of their Kingdom of Swadia!

Despite King Haraus's tough words before, he actually felt a little panicked after leading his men into the dark woods. After all, the Nordic Kingdom has spent most of its resources on heavy infantry over the years. In the field of infantry warfare, if the Nordic Kingdom claims to be second, no one dares to claim to be first.

Although the knights of the Kingdom of Swadia are well-equipped, their skills are all focused on horse combat. In terms of foot combat, they are really not as good as those Nord royal guards!

Now King Haraus only hopes that the Nords have really been killed by them and are so scared that they have no courage to stay in the forest and continue to resist them.

However, King Haraus's hope was soon dashed. Not long after they entered the woods, a javelin suddenly shot from the front without warning, and pierced a heavy cavalryman in front of him with a pop. On his neck, a few drops of the splattered blood even landed on his face.

"Be careful, enemy attack!" the guard captain yelled, holding a knight's kite-shaped shield and hurriedly stood in front of his Majesty the King.

Sure enough, in the next second, more javelins and throwing axes shot out from the woods ahead, mixed with a few arrows.

Because the captain of King Haraus's personal guard was blocking the front, the shield in his hand was filled with javelins and throwing axes almost instantly. As the durability of the shield was exhausted, the shield in his hand suddenly made a snapping sound and shattered. opened, followed by a large number of javelins and throwing axes. The blows of these things were very strong. Even though the guard captain was wearing a full-body plate armor, he was not able to be broken by these throwing weapons for the time being. , but his body was quickly hit by the huge force and fell down on his back.

As soon as the guard captain fell, the remaining javelins and throwing axes came towards King Haraus. King Haraus only held a small wooden shield in his hand, which was cracked by those throwing axes and javelins in two or three blows. , and then he could only keep waving the half-sword in his right hand to knock away the javelins and throwing axes that were shot at him.

Fortunately, at this time, the enemy's attack with throwing weapons had come to an end. After Harlaus knocked away several javelins and throwing axes in a hurry, the throwing weapons that kept flying around were all cleared away.

But now is not the time to relax. As this wave of throwing weapons strikes ended, a large number of Nord Kingdom soldiers with their faces smeared with oil paint and covered with branches and weeds held weapons. Various weapons rushed out from the dark woods in front, roaring like beasts from their mouths, while running towards King Haraus and the others.

Many soldiers from the Kingdom of Swadia had been seriously injured in previous attacks with throwing weapons. At this time, facing these soldiers from the Kingdom of Nord who were rushing towards them like wild beasts, they had no power to fight back. Soon his life was taken away quickly.

King Haraus also saw with his own eyes that before his guard captain had time to get up from the ground, a Nord Kingdom soldier stepped on his chest, crushing the strong plate armor on his body. It dented, and then the captain of his personal guard immediately spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and died of grievance.

Then the Nord Kingdom warrior jumped up with force, leaping more than two meters high, waving the two-handed battle ax in his hand like a tiger, and slashed at him condescendingly.

Seeing this, King Haraus quickly raised his hand to block with the sword. After hearing a loud clang, King Haraus felt a terrible force coming from the sword body. The sword in his hand was made of The sword, which was carefully crafted by domestic skilled craftsmen using high-quality steel, immediately showed an obvious gap in the sword as sparks flew.

Although King Haraus tried hard to stabilize his body, he was finally pushed back several steps by the huge force, knocking down a soldier behind him.

Before King Haraus could stabilize his figure, the enemy quickly stepped forward, stalking him like a shadow, and swiped the giant ax in his hand toward his neck.

Seeing this, King Haraus had to control his numb hands, and tried to raise the sword in his hand to block.

After a clanging sound of gold and iron, King Haraus, who was already unstable, barely blocked the opponent's blow, but his body was involuntarily swept to the left by the opponent's axe.

As soon as King Haraus fell, the opponent's right foot wearing an iron legging kicked hard between his legs, which was one of the few places on his body that the full-body plate armor could not protect.

"Damn! It's so vicious!" King Haraus roared angrily, pulled his right leg inward, used his right knee to resist the opponent's kick, and at the same time stabbed the opponent's abdomen with the sword in his hand.

The other party looked at the hand and half sword that stabbed his abdomen, and actually stretched out his left hand, and with a fierce grip with the iron-gauntleted palm, he actually squeezed the sword stabbed by King Haraus tightly. The sword body made it impossible to retract the sword for a while.

The opponent took this opportunity to wave the giant ax in his hand with one hand and slashed hard at Haraus's neck.

King Haraus looked at the rapidly falling ax blade, and was so frightened that he crawled on the ground like a caterpillar, trying to avoid the blow. However, although he was wearing full-body plate armor, his defense was very high, and his body However, his flexibility was greatly limited. Even after several blows, he was unable to move his body very far. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the ax hit his helmet hard.

Fortunately, the opponent's ax was struck with one hand, so the force was not as strong as before. Therefore, it only slightly dented and deformed King Haraus's barrel helmet, but failed to directly chop his head into pieces.

However, even so, King Haraus also felt that his head was buzzing, and it seemed that he couldn't distinguish between east, west and north for a while. In addition, the bucket helmet that had been dented and deformed by the split made his head very uncomfortable. , seriously affecting his sight, so King Haraus simply lifted the bucket helmet off his head, and then after briefly identifying the enemy's position, he smashed the bucket helmet towards the opponent.

The opponent casually hit the battle ax and knocked the bucket helmet away. Then he held the ax in both hands, gathered enough strength, and struck King Haraus on the head with another ax.

At this time, King Haraus had already taken off his barrel helmet, and the only defense on his head was a layer of chain mail scarf. If this was chopped solid by the opponent's axe, , King Haraus had to have a lot of imagination.

So he quickly held the sword in both hands and blocked it in front of him.

After the opponent's giant ax struck the sword hard, the blade once again made a gap the size of a soybean. At the same time, the huge force carried by the giant ax continued to press down, making the body considered strong. And King Haraus, who was in his prime, couldn't hold on anymore. The sword in his hand was slowly pressed down, and finally the opponent's ax blade almost touched his shoulder.

At this time, because there was no longer a bucket helmet to affect his vision, and the two of them were almost face to face, even though the other person had several streaks of black paint on his face, King Haraus still recognized the person who had been pressing him. The Nord soldier he fought was actually Ragnar, the king of the Nord Kingdom.

As a king, he was constantly being suppressed and beaten by the other party. This made Harlaus feel very ashamed and angry, so as he roared, a force came out of his body for some reason, and it was actually slow. He propped up the opponent's giant axe.

King Ragnar was also a little surprised by this. He looked at the opponent's arms that were shaking violently and thought to himself that this kid has really great potential! He was actually able to surge in strength under severe stimulation, and in turn, was able to temporarily suppress him in terms of strength.

However, this was indeed only temporary. As King Ragnar suddenly increased his strength, and even his body was completely pressed on the back of the axe, King Harlaus's sword was slowly pressed back. This time, no matter how hard King Haraus squeezed his own strength, it had no effect. The long sword was still being pressed down, and this time the opponent also adjusted its position and pressed the ax blade against his neck. .
