Chapter 148, victory in the first battle

In the Arden Forest, the army of the Marquis of Anxi is also advancing in the forest.

Different from the right-wing army, this army of more than 30,000 people has a large number of scouts and rangers in the forefront to detect and guard the road, and then there are more than 3,000 serf soldiers behind, who hold long spears or long swords, Carefully paying attention to the movements around, the serf archers walking in the forefront, their status is the lowest.

Then the central army was a large group of serf infantry and sergeant infantry, and the ranger knights and kingdom knights walked at the end, defending the big nobles such as the Marquis of Anchy, and there were also a large number of infantry protection on both sides of the knights.

The entire team is already several kilometers long.

The knights were not fully armed, they mostly wore dresses and uniforms with swords and shields.

When the knights go out, except they will be fully armed when facing the enemy, the knights will not wear armor when they are marching or resting, because the full armor is not only a serious burden for the horse, but also for the The same goes for knights.

Fighting for too long will tire the knights.

Only animals like Holy Grail Knights can wear plate armor from morning to night without getting tired, but Holy Grail Knights are very few, and even only one Holy Grail Knight, Ryan, participated in this chivalry war.

A standard Brittanian warhorse can carry knights and charge five to eight times when it is armored. After that, the warhorse will be exhausted, and the effect of the charge will be greatly weakened. Therefore, when marching or camping, the knights will None of them would wear armor, which would exhaust themselves to death.

Most of the ordinary ranger knights can't afford full-body plate armor. They are equipped with a combination of chain mail + kite helmet + smock. Only a small number of ranger knights of noble birth can wear plate armor.

Therefore, a knight is usually equipped with three horses, a war horse for combat, an ordinary horse for normal riding, and a pack horse specially responsible for carrying various utensils. They also need at least two knights at the same time. The squires help him put on his armor and mount him before the battle.

Behind the knights was a mighty army of soldiers and logisticians, including a large number of carriages, which contained the equipment of the knights.

"My marquis, the castle of Jursen is not far away." This was the advice of the experienced lieutenant, Baron Pierre, an excellent knight of the kingdom: "We have never met a decent one along the way. Resist, but I think be careful."

"Well, I know this. Beastmen are very cunning. We must be careful." The Marquis of Anhey is proud of himself. He is a general from an academy and has received good military training since childhood. He knows that he Don't be careless.

His Majesty Richard finally won this opportunity for his great-nephew, and he must seize it well.

At the same time, the Marquis was also a little restless. He had been in the forest for three days. His army was facing constant harassment and small attacks by the Beastmen. The scouts and rangers suffered heavy casualties, but the Beastmen never dared to dispatch a large force directly. attack this army.

There are already some complaints among the ranger knights. They think that the Beastmen are nothing special. The Marquis is too cautious. These Beastmen will only shoot cold arrows and avoid these knights. They are really a group of rats.

The Marquis of Anchy warned the knights not to be careless and beware of the ambush of the Beastmen.

But where have the beasts gone? The Marquis of Anchy pondered that these beasts had not appeared for a long time, and the knights were also quite troubled.

When the army was about 20 kilometers away from Ulsen Castle, a sudden change occurred.

Several wounded rangers rushed out of the forest: "Enemy attack! It's a beastman!"

"It's a beast!" It took a long time for the angry roar to spread from the front army to the rear army. The army that stretched for several kilometers responded slowly. The serfs who were alerted at the front began to line up in several rows, raising their weapons, the knights They quickly searched for their entourage, then put on their armor and prepared to fight.

In the dark forest, there appeared hundreds of Beastmen with ferocious faces, most of them armed with spears and big axes.

"Archers, prepare to shoot!" The sergeants standing in the first row immediately ordered, and the serfs immediately obeyed and raised their wooden bows.

A shower of arrows flew towards the rushing beasts, and many bad-horned beasts and Chaos War Dogs were hit by bows and arrows. Easily killed by simple arrows.

But the Beastmen's army isn't just about vulnerable horned beasts and warhounds of Chaos.

"It's the horned herd!" shouted many sergeants. "Defense the Javelin!"

As soon as the voice fell, the horned beasts raised the javelins behind them and started throwing them at the chaotic Brittany army formation.

A dense rain of javelins swept across the clear sky and roared towards the serf infantry. Many of the serf infantry were hit by the javelin and fell down.

The formation of the infantry began to waver and chaos. Many knights beheaded the deserters on the spot and stabilized their morale. The serf archers were frightened by the overwhelming javelin to retreat, and only a few steps back, they found the hit rate of the javelin. As terrible as their arrows were, they returned to their original positions again under the stern gaze of the knights.

"Archers! Loosen the formation, let the arrows!" Under the order of the knight master, the serf archers fired arrows again.

The horned beasts, which are stronger than the inferior horned beasts, have rough skin and thick flesh, and the serf archers are not very elite. It is difficult for the arrows they shoot to cause enough damage to the horned beasts.

"Circle formation of spears!" The serf infantry raised their spears and formed a circular formation, with sharp spear points facing the strong beastmen.

The horned beasts rushed into the army with big axes. The serf army was attacked by the horned beasts. Many serf soldiers splattered blood on the spot. Watching their compatriots die, the serf soldiers also straightened their long spears fiercely. The formation brought great damage to the horned beasts. As soon as the more than 200 horned beasts rushed into the spear formation, 30 or 40 horned beasts were pierced at their vital points and fell one after another.

More horned herds emerged from the forest.

"Kill! For the lady and the king! For Britannia!" The sergeants were dispatched, these senior soldiers wearing breastplates, helmets, using halberds or two-handed swords, launched a fierce attack on the beasts, All the sergeants were promoted from serfs, and they and the rangers meant the highest achievement of serfs, so these sergeants were very powerful in fighting skills and strength, some were not inferior to knights, their joining quickly changed the situation of the war, in a After the fierce battle, the morale of the serfs gradually stabilized, and the battlefield showed a stalemate.

At this moment, the knights of Brittany finally put on their armor, and the knights abandoned their horses, dismounted their horses, and rushed into the battlefield.

The appearance of the knights inspired the morale of the serfs. The knights with superb skills, heavy armor and elite weapons beat the horned beasts to a losing streak.

"For the lady and the king! For Britannia!!!"

Despite the narrow roads and dense jungle, the knights scrambled to charge at the beastmen, chanting the name of the nymph of the lake and shouting their own names.

The uneven land, dense thickets, and dense jungles slowed down the speed of the knights, but did not reduce their enthusiasm and desire to make achievements, but just when they were about to completely surround these beastmen, there were bursts from the depths of the jungle. Horn sound: "Woo~~ woooo~~"

The beasts retreated immediately after hearing the sound of the horn. They abandoned the bad horned beasts and the Chaos Warhounds and fled back into the forest. In the forest, these Chaos creatures moved very fast. The knights in heavy armor They were determined to chase, and the Marquis of Anchy quickly stopped this behavior.

The Marquis knew that the scattered heavy-armoured knights could not pursue them like this.

In an encounter, Brittany lost more than 200 serfs and several knights, and the Beastmen also lost more than 300 corpses.

Many ranger knights took a heavy breath. For two or three days, they were in a situation of constant harassment, and the enemy often disappeared long after they put on the armor.

This battle is so frustrating!

These beastmen are really not upright enough. If you have the ability, you can set up a battle on the plain and we will fight a fair game!

"My marquis, we have won this battle! Only a few knights and a dozen rangers were lost." Soon, the secretary reported the battle damage to Anxi.

The loss of serfs is not a loss. These cannon fodder consumables are originally used to share the damage.

"Very well, after three days of marching, we finally won a victory, and this is our goal! Accumulate small wins into big ones, destroy these scattered beastmen war gang step by step, and then force these beasts to fight us decisively. !" The Marquis of Onchy said proudly, this was obviously an ambush carefully designed by the Beastmen, and they were repelled.

This means that in a decisive battle, even in the forest, the Beastmen will not be our opponents.

Justice will defeat evil, and the knights of Brittany will not succumb to these beasts.

"How many beastmen are there? Come on, this summer is the time of death for the beastmen!" The Marquis of Anhi continued to issue orders: "Don't let your guard down, let the rangers continue to investigate, and no one knows if there will be an ambush in the next one. waiting for us!"

"Yes!"

The Knights Road army was reorganized and moved on.

On a cliff a few kilometers away, the Beastman Beastmaster "Blood Horn" Marath and the screaming great shaman "Heart Eater" Groz stood together, behind them were several doomsday bulls and Cyclops.

Watching the Beastman be repelled, Malas opened his mouth: "Knight... cautious, ambush... difficult."

"Humans... are numerous and cannot be... rivaled."

The screaming shaman waved a staff with a lot of heads and dead bones hanging on it. It was full of festering marks, and a group of flies was flying around it, emitting a foul and rotten smell.

"Luring the knights...deep into the forest, decay and life, and guide victory." Grosz waved his staff, and the huge filthy energy was gathering above, and the evil green energy continued to spread out.

"The power of the evil moon...the seasons change...waiting for the opportunity." Malas pointed to the filthy runes on the altar of blasphemy: "Children of Chaos...destroy all things...human beings...false gods in the lake...everything destroy!"

Behind the Beastmaster is a terrifying altar pulled by several razor beasts.

This altar used to be the shrine of the fairies in the lake, but now it is surrounded by countless filthy patterns and chaotic energy, with the head of a prophet of the lake **** hanging on it: "Call the bighorn beasts!"

Blood-red foul energy erupted from the altar, and it told the beasts what they were going to know.

"Prepare... a new battle!"

…………

After that, the march of the knights was not ambushed again, and the army of more than 30,000 people soon arrived at the castle of Jursen.

This is a hilltop castle built of limestone. It is surrounded by river valleys. The city walls are tall and strong, but the area is not particularly large. The army of more than 30,000 people cannot live in the castle, so the serfs can only camp outside the city.

Seeing the army of knights approaching, the Earl of Adelaide opened the city gate, and the knights poured into the city.

"Hello, Your Excellency!" Earl Adelaide led a few knights to greet him: "I heard that our commander-in-chief has won again and again outside the city, and has made the Beastmen tribe dare not haunt again?"

"There is nothing, sit down and talk." Several nobles walked towards the interior of the castle, the attendants hurriedly fed the war horses, and the logistics staff also began to busy serving dinner for the knights.

The inner courtyard of the castle is in the tower on the southwest side. Inside is a large fortified room. There are maps on the table, armors on the shelves, swords and shields on the walls, and a thick broth is stewed in the stove. Fragrant.

Adelaide had already prepared dinner, and the Marquis of Anchy and Baron Pierre were also tired, so they decided to sit down and talk while eating.

"I always said to be careful before, but now it seems that the Beastmen have no intention of fighting us near Ulsen Castle." The Marquis of Anhey said first, and the young man was very proud: "We came all the way, we have successively We scared off two Beastmen war gangs, and also defeated a Beastmen ambush, so ah, these beasts should know that we are powerful, they have retreated, waiting for the next time to ambush us."

"I think so too!" Earl Adelaide nodded again and again, and the new knight of the kingdom was also triumphant: "Since I arrived here, we have repelled three Beastmen's attacks, and each time they are powerful It is huge, but as long as you get a little setback, you will retreat immediately, and it will not pose a threat at all."

"So, this is my plan, Adelaide, you take the troops of the three principalities along the stream trail, attack Wanmayan from the left, and I will lead the main force from the middle..." Marquis of Anxi and Adelaide Earl Red talked about his plan in detail.

This plan has been said before and will not be repeated here.

"Adelaide, remember that our central army and left army have set up more flags to strengthen their momentum. We already have a lot of people here, as long as we set up more flags." After that, Adelaide and Anxi agreed. winked.

"Let him have an accident, let them have an accident themselves."

The Earl of Adelaide and the Marquis of Onchy looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

"All for the lady and the king! For Brittany!"
