The "news" that the pirates and barbarians will enter Muxi Town first, spread like wildfire among the Silver Ring coalition forces. [Reading the latest chapters]

Compared with the regular army of the Northern Army and Southern Army, the nobles are obviously more anxious about this kind of brazen behavior. In their view, it is beyond doubt that the attack on Muxi Town will win, and the key lies in how to distribute the spoils. Although it was agreed in advance that the silver ring army and the pirate barbarians will be divided equally by five to five, the first person, no matter who it is, publicly or privately, will always get more property than others. This has been the practice for thousands of years. Seeing the fat in the mouth at this time, it is actually to be snatched by a group of pirates and barbarians who are quick to go. How can this make the greedy nobles tolerate?

As a result, a peculiar sight appeared on the marching route. In the front section of the army, the nobles took their private soldiers and rushed to the front under the temptation of wealth; the Southern Army and the Northern Army rushed in the middle section under the urging of the commander Roderick; and the back section of the coalition army. , It is composed of the heavy equipment team and the logistics team.

At the beginning, these three sections of troops still kept a relatively safe distance. They sent messengers to confirm each other's situation every once in a while, and scouts constantly probed the surrounding situation.

But with the passage of time and the dull march, the distance between the sections of the troops has become larger and larger, and the messengers and scouts have gradually disappeared. From the coach to the boss, everyone has only one thought in their minds-that Why the **** Muxi Town hasn't arrived yet?

At noon on the fourth day, the three-day rush march almost exhausted the stamina of every soldier, and the entire army was exhausted. The distance between the front section and the middle section of the coalition forces has been widened to 7.5 kilometers. The vanguard in the front section of the middle section looks far away, and even the dust raised by the front section cannot be seen.

As a "heir" scout, Edgar implanted a new ability in Todd's laboratory a few days ago-"Chameleon Disguise", which allows him to get closer to the enemy without being discover.

He ran short on the plain at full speed, came to the woods under a mound, and found Cumberland, who was eating dough with a water bag.

The old knight saw the returning scout, wiped his mouth, handed the food and water to the opponent, waiting for the report.

Edgar, who hadn't eaten anything for a long time, had no polite plan at all, and started eating and drinking after receiving the dough and water. After a while, the scout felt a little better, and said to the old knight: "The enemy is divided into three stages. The people at the front have different clothes, armors, weapons, and badges. They don’t look like any formations. They are a mess. Regiment; those in the middle are obviously regular troops, yes! I also heard someone calling a man named Roderick a commander..."

"Marquis Roderick? That arrogant bastard?" Cumberland rubbed his hands happily and smiled: "This is a great thing for us."

"My lord, you can already see the striker of the coalition forces."

Cumberland listened to the report from his subordinates and waved his hand indifferently: "Let them go, our target is the enemy's commander."

Huggins, wearing full armor, walked over with his twelve subordinates and asked Cumberland, "Commander, when shall we strike?"

The old man did not answer his question. Instead, he stared at the thirteen cavalrymen who had all hidden their bodies under the armor, and said: "I heard the commander in chief say that you have a secret weapon to defeat the enemy with one blow? I'm a little curious."

Huggins shook his head, with helplessness in his voice: "My lord, trust me, you will regret it after you see it."

Cumberland said nonchalantly: "Since the commander of the regiment said it was a secret weapon, I won't force an answer anymore. I ask you and your subordinates, from the northeast when I lead the troops to attract the attention of the enemy. Directly attack the head coach and guard of the coalition forces. Remember! You only have one chance! If you fail, I will have to resort to brute force attacks to defeat this force."

Huggins placed his fist on his chest, patted the armor on his heart, and nodded heavily.

Half an hour later, the middle section of the Yinhuan Allied Forces appeared.

Looking down from the sky, the front of the middle unit is the Northern Army, and the rear is the Southern Army. The Marquis Roderick's guard is caught in the middle.

Cumberland turned on his horse behind the mound, looking at the subordinates who had been born to death with him countless times behind him, without much words, just tapped the shield with the hilt and shouted: "Offensive!"

The cavalry and sergeants, who were ready to go, raised their weapons and stepped forward, like a tsunami, swept toward the enemy army in front of them.

A sharp long howl resounded on the battlefield.

"Enemy attack!"

The first battle of Muxi's defense battle started.

After a round of arrows from the two sides, the two armies collided without fancy. The shield slammed into the shield and the blade slashed into the armor. The sound of huge and piercing metal crashing continued.

Cumberland selected the attack point at the formation connection between the Southern Army and the Northern Army, and put more of the main attack force on the Northern Army. This is because the two legions cooperate with each other and it is more effective to attack from the joint; on the other hand, because there are many people in the southern legion who once belonged to the same unit as their own, they may not be able to come out in battle. try best.

Sure enough, the soldiers of the Southern Army Corps, after recognizing these familiar faces on the opposite side, immediately adopted the method of attack with thunder and rain. They roared louder than anyone, but their footsteps retreated and attacked. It is more of their own shield.

The Marquis Roderick looked at the battle in front of him, trembling with fright. He shouted at the messenger: "Tell the **** **** ahead! Immediately! Right away! Get out of me!"

Just as the messenger left, a roaring horseshoe came from the northeast of the battlefield.

The thirteen knights maintained a neat and uniform battle line. There was no horse behind, nor any horse forward; the knight’s spear was raised to the same height, without any tremor, and it always pointed straight ahead; the horse’s hoof stepped out. , Mentioned, the same rhythm, the same amplitude.

After being shocked by this strange scene for a short time, the company captains of the Southern Army and Northern Army finally remembered their duties and shouted: "Archer!"

Hundreds of bows were raised, and the arrows shining with black iron aimed at the galloping knights.

"Let the arrow!"

Accompanied by the sound of the bowstring breaking through the air, a dense rain of arrows shot into the air.

To everyone's surprise, the knights' horses accelerated, and the arrows that landed were left behind by them. This speed is getting faster and faster, and in the end, the afterimage of the horseshoe cannot even be recognized with the naked eye.

The distance of more than 500 meters only took more than ten seconds. The archers did not even have time to withdraw from the formation, they saw the figure of the war horse appear in front of them.

There was a boom.

The knights smashed into the legion, as if a burning sledge hammer hit the tattered wood. An infantryman wearing heavy armor and holding a tower shield was hit and flew directly into the air. He flew back more than six meters, knocked down more than a dozen soldiers, and slipped to the feet of the Marquis Roderick.

Huggins patted the mount under him, and the horse jumped in the air. He jumped into the coach’s guard, raised his spear, swept out, knocked the four guard knights in front of him to the ground, and then stretched out his hand to catch him. Pulled onto the horse...

——————————————

Forty minutes later.

In the other corner of the battlefield, Earl Emerson followed the heavy convoy and walked slowly forward. Suddenly found a group of desperate soldiers running by.

The earl grabbed one of them, and after recognizing it, he shouted loudly: "I remember you are from the Northern Army! What are you doing?! This is leaving without permission!"

The soldier lost focus in his eyes, and muttered to himself in an insane tone: "They are riding **** horses with infinite strength. Crossbow arrows can't kill, spears can't kill..."

The soldier grabbed the earl's arm, stared into the opponent's eyes, and shouted repeatedly: "Monster! The monster is coming!"

Earl Emerson pushed the opponent away, looked into the distance, and ordered loudly: "Everyone listens to my orders! Push down the carriage and form a car formation! The archer is in the center, and the spearman is outside."

The soldiers in the back of the coalition army quickly moved into action. They pulled the carriage full of luggage to a position where they were connected to each other, and several people overthrew the car body together, forming a "round formation fortress."

More and more soldiers fled from the front line to the back. Under the loud call of Earl Emerson, some people joined the "Circular Formation", but more people who lost their intent to fight escaped vigorously. battlefield.

Emerson glanced at the soldiers beside him, everyone's faces were panicked and uneasy. He calmly stroked the eight-character Hu with his thumb and index finger, but he was thinking about what happened in the battlefield ahead.

Finally, a phalanx of infantry appeared on the distant horizon. Emerson squinted and saw that he was in the commander's position. He seemed familiar with the armor and the horse.

When the infantry regiment got closer, the opposing coach took off his helmet, and the count finally saw someone he knew well.

"Cumberland..."

The old man with silver hair, bloodstained from head to toe, looked at the familiar face in the "Car Line", was stunned for a moment, and said from his mouth: "Earl Emerson?"

The two old men, who were once superiors and subordinates, met again on the battlefield in a dramatic way.

"The matter of Queen Mary and the Knight Commander Herman is a mistake made by the kingdom."

To Cumberland's surprise, Earl Emerson said this in his first words.

The old knight looked like water: "That's a thing of the past, I don't want to mention it on the battlefield. We know each other so well, why don't we save the **** to persuade you to surrender?"

"I agree." Emerson took the helmet from his subordinate.

Cumberland commanded the troops to move forward. He was familiar with the opponent's tactics and tentatively attacked several times.

Unsurprisingly, the earl defended the entire "Car Array Fortress" airtight, with bows, arrows, crossbows, and spears forming several layers of deep attack surfaces. In addition, the convoy was originally equipped with the Yinhuan coalition’s luggage and supplies, food, clean water, and ammunition, which are inexhaustible. If Emerson wants to, he can even set up tents and build camps in the "car formation" for a long time. Stationed.

Cumberland looked at the dense arrow tails stuck in the shield, frowned and commanded the troops to retreat, secretly cursing: "Old tortoise..."

"Master Earl, the enemy has retreated!"

Listening to the joyful shouts of his subordinates, Emerson’s face was not half relaxed: "If the enemy has a firelighter on hand, or if he rushes to build a siege device, this "car formation" will be difficult to defend. I can do it now. All it takes is to delay time and allow more people to escape back to the royal capital..."

Before the earl's words fell, there was a burst of cheers from the enemy's camp.

Thirteen knights appeared in the eyes of everyone from a distance. Their armor was covered with scars of various sizes. Their postures did not seem to be charging, but more like participating in a military parade.

At this moment, the soldiers who escaped from the front in the "Car Array" ~lightnovelpub.net~ lowered their weapons and retreated in fear. Emerson realized that the "monster" in their mouth appeared. NS……

Soon, the earl personally verified the horror of these knights. The bows, arrows, and spears clearly pierced into their armor, but they couldn't cause any harm. These powerful enemies can grab their spears and drag their soldiers out of the "chariot formation" alive.

Seeing several knights crashing the carriage almost to the ground, Emerson had to take the risk and used the last weapon: "Throw out the kerosene tank! Ignite!"

Along with the pungent smell and the burning red flames, a two-meter-high wall of fire rose in front of the "Car Front". The horses of the knights were violently fired, and the startled people stood up, neighing and retreating.

Just when the defenders thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, the captain of the thirteen Cavaliers rolled over and dismounted, and came to the wall of fire under the gaze of everyone on the battlefield. He knelt on one knee and stretched out his hands to the burning ground, and the fire soaring into the sky instantly diminished.

The dumbfounded soldier looked at the pale face of Earl Emerson: "My lord, what should we do?"

The old man smiled bitterly: "What else can I do? Surrender..."
