Chapter 21, The Crimson Knights
After picking up three unlucky men, the situation on the battlefield gradually changed. The troops on both sides were all fighting together, and the scene was a mess.
The noble knights who had just massacred all directions were now facing a crisis and were trapped in layers of siege by the rebels.
The ants killed the elephant, and no matter how powerful the knights were, they could not withstand the constant influx of rebels. Witnessing two noble knights being pulled off their horses, Hudson once again strengthened his determination to "go on".
Not caring about continuing to bully the lone enemy, Hudson hurriedly gathered his troops and harassed the enemy on the left flank.
"Surge in to rescue your allies?"
As soon as this idea came up, he was decisively killed by Hudson. He was not leading an elite group. It was okay to fight with the wind and bully the lone enemy troops, but to rush in and fight the enemy decisively would be to die.
Just look at the private army of nobles and you will know that after the lord took the lead in charging, everyone followed blindly and then became anxious with the rebels.
If you want to reverse the situation now, you have to either wait for the troops in the fortress to come out, or wait for other noble private armies to join the battlefield.
Today is the stipulated deadline, and the ambitious private armies of nobles will arrive on time. Time is on your side. In theory, the longer it takes, the better it will be for the counterinsurgency army.
But theories are just theories after all. As time goes by, it becomes increasingly difficult for the noble knights trapped in the siege to survive.
After all, defeating the rebels with a single charge was just a fantasy. The enemies in front of them seemed to have been beaten to death, and they launched an attack on them without fear of death.
In order to launch an effective attack, many rebel soldiers did not even hide in the face of the knights' counterattack, and did not care even if they accidentally injured one of their own. Hudson personally saw a rebel soldier who would rather take a shot than
Throw the weapon in your hand.
As long as the number is in place, accuracy and hit rate are not important. No matter how powerful the knight is, he cannot defend 360 degrees without blind spots.
It must be said that this is a kind of irony that a powerful knight was piled to death on the battlefield by serfs who had just put down their hoes.
At one point, Hudson even regretted trying to create an alliance. If it weren't for the existence of the alliance, why would he still be hiding behind and watching the scenery?
At this point, no matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to bite the bullet. In order to reduce his sense of presence, Hudson was forced to get off his horse and blend into the infantry.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer comrades around him, the Chelsea Knights, who were making great progress, gradually realized the seriousness of the problem.
These enemies are obviously abnormal. They are all very bloodthirsty and do not care about their own life or death. They are not ordinary rebels at all.
"Get out!"
Chelsea shouted.
Now is not the time to show off. No matter how important your military exploits are, they are not as important as your life.
Just because his military command ability is poor does not mean that his political wisdom has also been reduced to zero. Many of the nobles who followed him in the charge died. If they continue to die like this, he will not be able to survive.
Deep down in his heart, Chelsea has already sent greetings to the third generation of Earl Pierce's ancestors. Fortunately, he came to help you rescue him. The battle has reached this point, but he still doesn't send troops.
The group of knights led by Chelsea were the benchmark on the battlefield. Their retreat caused the morale of the noble coalition to collapse instantly.
The people who took the lead in escaping were obviously the elites of each family. It was obvious that the elites who could survive "through hundreds of battles" were the kings of escaping.
Without any accidents, Hudson also retreated with his own men. Because he had been walking on the edge of the battlefield and there was no one behind him to block the way, the retreat went very smoothly.
Seeing the defeat of the noble coalition, Earl Pierce in Ethel Fortress suddenly realized that he was playing too big again. He sent troops, he had to send troops. If the rebels were to win a big victory, there would be no reinforcements.
The nobles are not stupid. Having learned from the past, the nobles who came behind might turn around and leave. Even if the lawsuit goes to the royal capital, it will be Pierce who is at fault.
Thinking of this, Pierce became very angry. In any case, he was very resourceful, but when it came to specific operations, things always went wrong.
Originally, they wanted to use the rebels to weaken the strength of the nobles in Laite County, but they misjudged the strength of the Skull and Bones Society, causing the rebels to plunder the two counties, causing the situation to get out of control.
I just wanted to use the rebels to weaken the strength of the noble lords, but I didn't expect this group of noble coalition forces to be so useless, and they were defeated in less than an hour of fighting.
If it is weakened too much, it will become an accident. Everything has its limits. Regardless of whether he is willing or not, he must send troops now to save the remaining noble coalition forces.
Otherwise, he will become the public enemy of the small and medium-sized nobles in the southeastern province. From now on, as the governor, he will be an empty frame, and no one will listen to his orders at all.
Summoning the elites in the fortress, Count Pierce picked up the knight's lance, mounted the Flame Lion, raised his lance and gave the order: "The evil skeletons will launch a rebellion with the intention of subverting the sacred rule of the kingdom.
For the stability of the kingdom, for the glory of the Lord of the Dawn, and for our glory, the warriors of the Crimson Knights, follow me on the expedition!"
The majestic fortress gate slowly opened, and the rays of the sun shone on the knight's spear, emitting bursts of cold light.
Earl Pierce jumped out of the fortress first, followed by more than two hundred knights, followed by a thousand cavalry from the Crimson Knights.
Qianqi rushed out wildly, erupting with an earth-shattering momentum that was frightening.
Seeing the cavalry attack, the rebels besieging the city immediately took measures. The pikemen were at the forefront, and the archers immediately fired thousands of arrows, and the arrow rain enveloped the knights.
Unfortunately, these were all in vain. Count Pierce was seen swiping his spear across the sky and shooting arrows away. He protected himself and his mount tightly and continued to charge.
When they got close to the spearmen's formation, the flaming lion suddenly spurted out a ball of lava-like stuff from its mouth, and the rebels who couldn't avoid it instantly turned into flaming men. The soldiers around him were so frightened that they quickly dodge, and the scene fell into chaos for a time.
Taking advantage of the chaos of the rebels, Earl Pierce also rushed into the rebels and, with the cooperation of the Flame Lion, massacred everyone.
Through the gap opened by Earl Pierce, a group of knights rushed in crazily, and the spear formation immediately collapsed.
Without a military formation to rely on, the rebels suffered heavy losses in an instant due to the massacre by the cavalry.
However, Earl Pierce obviously did not have time to harvest the small soldiers now. He completely ignored the defeated troops and led his troops towards the enemy's commander's flag.
Anyone with a little bit of military knowledge knows that Earl Pierce is preparing to "capture the king" first.
Seeing the cavalry approaching, the old man in gray robe watching the battle on the high platform sneered: "The Crimson Knights are indeed one of the top ten knights in the Kingdom of Alpha, and they are truly a weapon of war!
