Mount and Blade

It was ridiculous. Edward could not help but feel sad for a moment. He had suffered so many humiliations at the hands of that man that he could hardly count them.

The long-standing resentment made him suddenly regret for a moment... regret not agreeing to Hekun's proposal.

No... he should not look at the problem so pessimistically, at least for Shikel...

There must be something wrong with the task that the Archduke asked Shikel and Gulenbed to do in the morning! !

He must buy time for Shikel and the others, even if General Kirstin did not come.

Anyway, there is no way out, so why not fight hard! !

Hekun was furious when he heard this, and gritted his teeth and shouted: "Charge! Trample them for me!" The knights behind him immediately rushed forward like a tide.

"Kill!" Both sides were full of momentum, and the elite heavy-armored spearmen of the Olson family stood in the front, and the troops of the two sides instantly fought together.

I don't know if it was because of the influence of the French King's Hall and the mainland in his early years, but Grand Duke Hekun particularly likes to keep these heavily armored knights in captivity to use a set of black charging tactics.

Stupid, even if the spears of his own heavily armored spearmen are far less exaggerated than those of the phalanx spearmen. But once those iron-can-like knights fall off their horses, they will be lying on the ground and unable to get up, and be slaughtered by others! !

Edward did not sit and wait for death. As early as when the knights entered the range, he let the crossbows on the watchtowers on both sides fire two rounds. Even if the streets of Norudkahuadi are wide, they can only accommodate a dozen knights walking side by side.

Only one shot can string several sea bear knights into human barbecues, and several knights following them also unfortunately fell off their horses, causing a small-scale trampling.

Although this move seems inconspicuous, it actually greatly reduces the damage of the Sea Bear Knights to the heavy armored spearmen.

Unfortunately, the recharging time of the crossbow was too long. In a blink of an eye, relying on the high mobility of the cavalry, the two sides were already fighting together.

For a while, the formation of the heavy-armored spearmen was also torn open. However, when the horses of the knights who rushed in front collided with those spears, they lost their combat ability and fell off their horses and were trampled into meat paste by the cavalry behind.

Even so, there were still many heavy-armored spearmen who were pierced by the lances and their internal organs were ruptured by the collision of the horses. Their advantage lies in the cavalry losing their ability to charge.

"It seems that we will have a hard fight today." Looking at the battle situation below, Edward gripped the hilt of the sword, as if he was thinking carefully about how to win.

With such a huge disparity in the strength and quality of the soldiers, it is undoubtedly a huge problem to win this battle. He must be prepared for Kirstin not to come to support.

Dick stood beside him and whispered: "Then fight, anyway, we will not lose to him. The reinforcements will definitely arrive on time!"

Edward was silent, but he had entered the role of commander. At present, he is the only one who has practical experience on the battlefield, and he is quite rich. No one is more suitable for this position than him.

Although today's formation is more hurried than before, it can not affect the confidence of an experienced general to win.

Yes, he is the "brain trust of the Fire Dragon's Nest". Gurenberudo has never attacked without his advice. So far, the battles planned by him have never been defeated.

After all, Gurenberudo who broke into the battle on the battlefield is a monster. As long as he shows up, he can easily defeat the enemy's hard-earned morale and kill the enemy.

When the Archduke's guard infantry charged into the range, Edward asked the crossbowmen on the wall to fire crossbows immediately. For a while, arrows flew across the battlefield, and shouts of killing resounded through the sky.

Years of defensive experience made the crossbows of the Principality of Grant particularly powerful. The crossbows shot at the Archduke's guard infantry like locusts, and people and horses fell to the ground for a while. But as elite soldiers of the Principality of Grant, they were well-trained, quickly raised their shields, formed a tight defensive formation, and continued to advance steadily.

Edward's eyes were cold, knowing that this was just the beginning of the battle. He turned to Dick and said, "Pass the order down, let the heavy armored spearmen maintain a tight formation, don't be dispersed by the opponent's charge, the spearmen attack alternately, and the soldiers in the back row are ready to make up at any time."

Dick immediately took the order and ran on the city wall, loudly conveying Edward's instructions.

Edward closely watched the changes in the battle situation. He saw that his heavy armored spearmen gradually fell into a bitter battle when facing the enemy's coordinated attack. Although they fought hard, the opponent relied on the advantage of numbers and excellent equipment to press step by step.

The battle soon entered a white-hot stage, and the soldiers on both sides were blood-thirsty. Under his command, the soldiers on Edward's side stubbornly held their positions. They knew that once the line of defense was broken, the consequences would be disastrous.

He Kun supervised the battle in the rear, constantly urging his soldiers to move forward without any rules. He firmly believed that his superior force would eventually lead to victory.

...After all, his force was more than twice that of the enemy.

Soon, the soldiers under Grand Duke He Kun were caught in a crowded situation. They didn't even need to aim. A single crossbow could take away a large number of soldiers.

Thousands of arrows were shot into the chaotic crowd like locusts. Even the most elite troops could not form a formation in such a chaotic scene. They were like a pile of weeds covered with steel plates to be harvested.

The soldiers in front were pushed to the front by the soldiers behind them, and they were stabbed before they could take an attacking stance. They had better pray not to fall, because they would definitely be trampled into pulp by the people behind them.

Edward looked at such an elite force being used by Grand Duke He Kun to make it more lively than a vegetable market. He shook his head helplessly, but at the same time he was lucky.

He knew that although the chaos at the moment was beneficial to his side, the situation was still critical. He turned his head and looked into the distance, silently praying in his heart that General Kirstin would lead reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible. At this time, shouts and screams were intertwined on the battlefield, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air.

Although they had a few advantages, the lack of manpower could not be made up, and the crossbowmen on the city wall had run out of arrows. Except for the crossbows on the sentry tower, they could no longer be resupplied.

...I believe that the ammunition on those crossbows will soon be used up.

We must come up with a new way to win as soon as possible! !

Edward looked at the narrow alleys and houses below and fell into deep thought. Should we fight a street battle?

No, after a series of consumption, Grand Duke Hekun had already pulled away from his main force, and only a few noble confidants and knights surrounded him.

...For some reason, why didn't Madwuxiu and the Shadow Hands appear here? Edward was a little confused.

If Grand Duke Hekun was killed directly, there would be no need for such trouble! Edward couldn't help but miss the figure of Gurenberudo who went deep into the enemy's army alone to take the enemy's head.

Yes, the reason why his strategy can be effectively implemented is because of that guy... the "dragon" who can take the head of a person even among a million.

Although our own heavy armored spearmen stubbornly resisted the waves of attacks from Hekun's army, the number of casualties was also rising.

The defense line of the heavy armored spearmen was getting weaker and weaker. If they only relied on the guards kept at home by the nobles, they would not be reliable at all! !

I saw that only a few dozen people in their team died and they began to tremble all over! !

And the South Gate has been open. If nearly half of them were killed or wounded, they would definitely start to flee without hesitation! !

Dick's face gradually turned cold. They had been fighting for at least two hours, but Kirstin's troops had not arrived yet! !

Damn... Even he couldn't help but wonder if Kirstin had given up on Edward! !

Edward naturally felt the pressure around him, gritted his teeth, and decided to take a risk. He ordered some of the spearmen to pretend to retreat and lead He Kun's troops to go deep. At the same time, he quietly assembled an elite team on the flank, ready to give the enemy a fatal blow.

"I don't know what General Kirstin was entangled because of! I must lead the team to kill He Kun myself, and then we can control the situation! !"
