Section 68 Victory is hard-won

Victory in the 68th quarter is hard to come by

Lemondo's sudden attack caught Schwab and others off guard. The knights rode their horses desperately. They tried their best to hit the enemy's commander before the enemy reacted so that they could win between the front lines. Because the failure of many lowland knights at this time had seriously affected the morale of the soldiers of the entire lowland army. You should know that the knights carrying heavy armor have always been the masters of the battlefield, and other infantry existed to assist them, although these arrogant knights sometimes

It made ordinary soldiers very disgusted, but it is undeniable that knights were trained as soldiers since childhood. Most of the soldiers in the medieval era were farmers and urban craftsmen. They were only armed during the war, which was of course far worse than those who regarded war as professions. But now, seeing the elite professional soldiers being beaten to the ground like dogs, these peasants were afraid. Even if their number was twice the other party, their morale was like a retreating tide.

"Boom~~~." At this time, the artillerymen re-issued ammunition. They aimed at the crowded place of the lowland soldiers, which was only fifty steps away from them, but were blocked by the spearmen. The artillerymen lit the fire twists and ignited the gunpowder in the groove. The explosive force of the gunpowder sprayed the projectiles out and shot them into the dense crowd.

"Ah~~~." The peasants who were hit by ammunition screamed and rolled on the ground. The blood spurted out of the projectile body shocked the peasants who were still in superstitious. What is this weapon that can spew flames? Did the Pummenbruce bring dragon breath? The lowland soldiers who were confused by the legendary dragon flame of the bard began to feel that they were not against ordinary lords, and this terrifying Pummenbruce might be an evil wizard.

"No, I can't beat it anymore, everyone can retreat quickly." The lowland soldiers, who finally collapsed morale, shouted and called their friends to withdraw from the battlefield. They threw away their weapons and ran around. They couldn't blame them, because even the knights threw away their helmets and war horses. They walked without honor and wanted to leave this terrible swamp, but many people were swallowed by the swamp because they got lost. What a scene was like? The lowland lords looked at the soldiers who were retreating like a tide in front of them.

"God, wait, see where." At this time, Pedro suddenly pointed to the other side, and saw the heroic Lord Lemondo leading the inner knights, and suddenly appeared on the enemy's right wing like a straight arrow. He boldly controlled his war horse and rushed towards the enemy formation.

"Go to honor~~~~." Lord Lemondo frantically kicked the abdomen of his favorite war horse with the spur on his feet. The abdomen of the war horse turned into bloody pieces. Under the stimulation of severe pain, the war horse ran towards Schwab quickly.

"Stop them." Bald Otto waved his battle axe and ordered his subordinates, but these two-handed swordsmen were shocked by the knights' dying spirit. They retreated unconsciously in front of the thunderous war horses. In just a moment, the knights broke away from the double-layer battle lined up by the two-handed swordsmen. However, Bald Otto waved the battle axe and smashed a knight who was trying to pass by him.

"Shwab~~~." Lemondo raised his sword and slashed at Schwab, who was protected by a swordsman with both hands. At this time, the young attendant William stabbed Lemondo with a flag pole and tried to stop him from attacking his master, but Lemondo pulled the reins and avoided the flagpole.

"Oh no." Schwab was originally looking at the front battlefield with all his concentration. When he saw the lowland soldiers fleeing in all directions under the attack of his mercenaries, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, Lemondo suddenly bypassed the front battlefield and attacked him suddenly, which made Schwab panic. Looking at the knights who rushed towards him, he was stunned and the knights had already attacked him. He woke up until Lemondo raised his sword and slashed at him. In panic, he was like the King of Qin who was assassinated by Jing Ke. He forgot the sword he was carrying around his waist. In helplessness, he raised the telescope in his hand to block Lemondo's sword and chopped towards him.

"Kill~~~." Lemondo's sword hit Schwab's telescope. Fortunately, the telescope was made of iron, but even so, it was cut in half. Lemondo raised his sword again and cut off the second sword.

"Ca, you are not Sister Uesugi." This scene made Schwab inexplicably remember the battle of Nakaakashima that he had played before. The scene between Takeda and Uesugi was so imaginative, but Schwab was sadly able to raise his arm and use the arm armor of his arm to block Lemondo's second sword.

"Protect the Earl." Schwab was cut twice in a row, but it was actually very short. At this time, Baron Coro led the Husar cavalry to rush past the knights and isolated Schwab and Lemondo.

"What a pity." Seeing Schwab, who was protected by the cavalry, Lemondo said regretfully. Seeing that he could no longer win, he calmly called on the knights around him to gradually escape from the battle with the Husar cavalry and flee to the distance.

"Sir, you are not injured, are you?" Baron Coro and bald Otto said anxiously.

"It's okay, it's so careless." Schwab held his numb arm that was cut. The arm armor was made by Mark's craftsmen using cold forging. It was very strong and tough, otherwise the arm would be cut off.

"Let's catch up and kill them." Baron Coro said in anger.

"No need, hum, these betrayal dogs don't need to pay attention to them. Baron Koro just needs to transfer a team of pirate soldiers for me. Others go to chase the dispersed enemies and try to eliminate the enemy's vitality." Schwab shook his head and the Knights' adventure plan was almost successful, but this was also the case when he was not prepared. If he succeeded, he should enjoy the victory, but if he failed, he would lose this opportunity.

"Yes, Lord Earl." Baron Koro obeyed Schwab's orders. He transferred two captains and spearmen to protect Schwab, and led the Husar cavalry to pursue the dispersed lowland troops, venting all his anger on the soldiers who shone their backs to the Husar cavalry.

"Sir, what should we do?" Seeing Schwab, who was protected by the spearmen, Lemondo sighed regretfully. It seemed that he had lost a chance. The inner knight beside him asked him.

"Retreat, we have lost this battle." Lemondo turned his horse and left in the direction of retreat. He did not choose the direction of the large-scale retreat of the Lowland Army, because he knew that the enemy would not miss this great opportunity. Countless Lowlanders will die today, and many new widows will be born in the entire Lowland Territory. This abominable Schwab is really a "widow maker".

"Who is that?" Schwab looked at the direction of Lemondo's retreat and asked curiously to the captured Lowland Knights.

"That's, Lord Lemondo, the lowland lord." Although the knight was tied up with his hands, he raised his head like a king. Schwab smiled slightly and looked down on the knight's reserve.

When the sunset shone on this swamp, the cheers of the Pumbrus people rang out on the battlefield. This great battle will surely be recorded in history. The soldiers on the ground are densely packed with lowlands, the horses without owners are walking around, armor and weapons are scattered all over the ground, and the limbs of those who were suffocated in the swamp are twisting strangely. Today, Schwab's name will be repeatedly cursed in the lowlands, and countless widows will beat their chests and stamp their feet.

"Sir, look at our trophy, it's even higher than the hill." Bald Otto said excitedly, with a red face, more than two thousand knights' armor was seized, five hundred knights were captured, and less than one-third of the Pumbrus people were killed or injured.

"Equip the armor and equipment to our spear veterans." Schwab ordered. Although the Mark soldiers had good cold-forged armor, the other soldiers of the Eagle Warriors did not have armor. Now Schwab provides these armor to them, which is an act to improve the combat effectiveness of the entire legion. At the same time, this generous action also aroused the general favor of the soldiers, and cheers outside Schwab's tent.

"Sir, the other remnants and lords retreated to Haas Berg Castle." Baron Koro stopped near the castle after chasing the lowland soldiers all the way. The number of lowland soldiers retreating into the castle was hundreds of times that of Husar cavalry, but the soldiers and lords who had already scared the courage would rather huddle in the castle and look at Husar cavalry holding a scimitar, cut the lonely lowland soldiers into two pieces, and then show off his might before leaving.

"Very good, we can have some wine and rest, and then prepare to attack the castle." Schwab picked up the wine glass and said to Baron Coro, whose blood was turned black and purple. The generous baron took the wine glass handed over by Schwab, and swung his long hair soaked in blood, and laughed and drank it all.

"General Bruce, why don't you rescue Lord Schwab?" And in Prince Masimilk's tent, General Bruce is greeting the future king's wrath of thunder.

"Your Highness, it is important to judge your safety at that time. The primary responsibility of the Knights of the Wang family is to protect you, not an earl." General Bruce argued, but he had no foundation in his heart at this time. Today's battle made him wrong Schwab's strength. He didn't expect that this furious child Schwab was so capable of fighting. His heart was full of jealousy, envy and hatred. Now the prince was obviously very dissatisfied with him. This anger from the royal family was something he had not tried for a long time. Everything was the damn Schwab. If it weren't for his prince, how could the prince agree to his crazy plan?
