Lord Cobili was furious at the city of Gerdos...
Since he sent a small group of Lancers back to Gerdos to transport food and money two days ago, the Earl has always felt uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
The current battle situation is very unsatisfactory. The more than 2,000 farmers and soldiers summoned by the vassal lords have killed more than 500 people, which is almost a quarter of the consumption. On the contrary, the garrison brigade and the five Lancer squadrons under his command only lost money in the past two days. Killed more than a dozen, but still maintained their fighting power.
In the past two days, only three camps have been captured, and there are five more standing in front of them. The peasants and soldiers who are the main force to attack the camps are now in a state of semi-open violation of orders. Lots of complaints. When ordering them to attack the camp, they always dragged their feet for time, and every time they had to dispatch the Lancers to forcibly suppress them in order to coerce them into action.
Count Kobili knew that this could not go on like this. Even the knights sent by the vassal lords to lead the farmers and soldiers looked at him strangely, as if they believed the rumor that he wanted to take the opportunity to consume the vassal lords' strength.
There was only enough food left in the camp for three days, and what made Count Kobili feel uneasy was that he had not received any news from Gerdos City in the past two days. This should not be ah! The city of Gerdos is not far from Moz Mountain, and the messenger can reach it in seven or eight hours with one person and two horses. Especially since I sent a small team of Lancers back to deliver the supplies, then I should have received a reply from Gerdos City the next day, explaining when the supplies would depart. What happened.
Lord Cobili couldn't sit still, after thinking about it, he decided to go back. Leave all the food to the garrison brigade, and recruit the knights sent by the vassal lords to lead the farmers and soldiers to encourage them, and ask them to help the garrison guard the camp. Everything will be discussed after I come back .
Count Kobili took five and a half Lancer squadrons to Gerdos City overnight, and he planned to make up for the two Lancer squadrons when he returned. At the same time, Lorist in William Mills Castle had just finished cleaning up, and led Terman's knight squad and Josk on the road back to Gerdos City.
At dawn, Earl Cobili led the Lancers to the gate of Gerdos City. He was relieved to see that the banner with the Cobili family's bull head emblem was still hanging on the city. So he ordered someone to call the door. After running around all night, he was exhausted and desperately needed a good rest.
Unexpectedly, no matter how loudly the cavalrymen who went to call the gate announced that the Earl was returning to the city, they should quickly open the drawbridge and open the city gate to welcome him. The few guards at the top of the city remained indifferent, but pointed at the people below, and even drew their bows and arrows to prepare for defense.
At first, Count Cobili was full of joy, thinking that the guards who guarded the city were very vigilant and deserved to be rewarded. But after staying under the city for half an hour, the Earl felt that something was wrong, and then he saw a large group of people coming up the city, and the leader turned out to be the golden mercenary Farea who had been imprisoned in the labor camp and refused to work for him.
When Farea stood at the head of the city and announced loudly to Count Cobili and the Lancers that the city of Gerdos was under his control, Count Cobili was in a dream, and he couldn't imagine being a prisoner. , How did Farea take the city of Gerdos. The angry Earl pointed to the bull's head flag hanging on the top of the city and asked Farea, since he said that he had captured the city of Gerdos, why did he still hang the flag with the Cobili family's bull's head emblem
Farea smiled at the Earl embarrassedly, saying that there were too many things to do, and he was too busy, so he forgot to wipe his ass with the flags of the Cobili family's bull head emblem, sorry. After speaking, he ordered people to take down these flags and put them in the toilet for later use.
Count Cobili was so angry that he almost spurted blood on the spot. A golden-ranked illegitimate son next to him cursed Farea, saying that the count valued you so much and treated you well, but you took the city of Gerdos while the count was away. , is really ungrateful, wolf-hearted...
Farea was furious, killed my adoptive mother, and imprisoned my whole family for more than a year. Is this considered important? This is called kind treatment? Conversing black and white to the point of shamelessness, he was too lazy to talk nonsense and waved his hands to order people to shoot arrows. Under more than a hundred longbows, the vigorous guy who was swearing and swearing caught off guard three arrows. It might be gone.
There were more than a dozen corpses of Lancers left in front of the city gate, and Count Cobili, furious, ordered the Lancers to cut wood on the spot to make ladders and prepare to attack the city.
Count Cobili forgot one very important thing, that is, the squadron of Lancers who accompanied him back was just formed, not the old Lancers who had followed him for many years to rob merchants and participate in the civil war. These guys who came out of the hard labor camp for less than half a year found that the people staying on the city wall were old friends they had met in the hard labor camp. They called friends for a while, and in a few words, they figured out that the city of Gerdos had been destroyed. fact of occupation.
On one side, Count Cobili was angrily about to attack the city of Gerdos, and on the other side, the Lancers were overjoyed and rejoiced when they learned that their families were safe. So the Earl's siege order was met with invisible resistance, and it took the slow-moving Lancers a whole morning to get the three siege ladders ready.
Dazed by his anger, Count Cobilly severely whipped a few guys he thought were sabotaging work, and ordered a dozen or so Lancers who disobeyed orders to be the vanguard of the first wave of siege.
As a result, Count Cobili was so angry that he really vomited blood, and the dozen or so Lancers ran towards the city wall with a newly built siege ladder, but no arrows were released from the city, so they were asked to build a ladder to go up climb. So when these Lancers were about to climb to the top of the city wall, they threw away the weapons in their hands, climbed up with bare hands and hugged the guards above, and made faces at Earl Cobilly and yelled loudly.
In the blink of an eye, the dozen or so Lancers surrendered to the enemy under the watchful eyes of everyone. What's more, they also gathered with the people on the city wall to pull up the long siege ladder that had just been built. Seeing this scene, Count Cobili's eyes widened with anger, his face was flushed, and he vomited blood when he opened his mouth.
This time Earl Cobili returned to the city with an illegitimate son of the golden rank, who was much more reliable than the one who scolded the street so that he shot three arrows in a row and was seriously injured. Seeing that the Earl had vomited blood and passed out, the Lancer squadron seemed to be showing signs of instability, so he hurriedly summoned his silver-ranked illegitimate brothers, first killed the mounts of the dozen or so Lancers who defected to the enemy, and distributed the horse meat The order was to bury the pot on the spot to cook the meat, and eat something to fill the stomach first. After tossing all night and all morning, everyone was hungry and exhausted.
Here, I discussed with my brothers how to appease the Lancer squadron below. It is pitiful to say that there are less than 50 of the more than 600 Lancers under him who are really loyal to Earl Cobili, and they all follow the Earl. Years old Lancer.
When Count Kobili woke up, there were only two roads ahead. If you want to attack the city, don't even think about it. Maybe the Lancer squadron will mutiny on the spot, and they dare not take such a risk. Then the remaining two options are to return to the camp and join the garrison brigade, and then bring the brigade back to attack the city. The biggest flaw of this plan is that the garrison brigade is almost out of food, and when the team returns to Gerdos City, the food will be exhausted. Not to mention siege, it would be even worse if it would trigger a large-scale mutiny.
The second option is to go to William Mills Castle and use it as a shelter first. It's just that this means giving up the garrison brigade that is still on Moz Hill and the city of Gerdos in front of you. However, as long as he waited or contacted the mopping-up force headed to the western mountains, Count Cobili still had hope of making a comeback.
Just when Earl Cobili was hesitating which way to choose, there was the sound of rumbling horseshoes in the distance, and a group of people and horses came on the road leading to William Mills Castle. It was Lorist who rushed back with Terman's knight squad and Josk, and blocked Count Cobili under the city of Gerdos.
Josker rode his horse forward and threw three heads at a distance of 30 to 40 meters from the Lancers. The heads rolled on the ground and fell in front of Count Cobili. When the count saw that he was struck by lightning, the three heads were his. The three illegitimate children who sit at William Mills Castle. In this way, William Mills Castle has also fallen into the hands of the enemy.
Seeing Josk, the magic arrow, turning his horse back to stand behind Lorist, Earl Cobili stood up and walked to a distance of more than ten meters in front of Lorist's horse before stopping, staring at Joe with resentment. Sk, then turned his gaze to Lorist: "Who are you? Why are you against me?"
Sitting on the horse, Lorist looked condescendingly at the burly, pale man in his sixties, Earl Cobili from the northwest region of the famous town, and said coldly, "I should call you Cobili. Where is the count? Or the famous horse bandit leader Redbeard in the province of Puerto Orgue?"
Earl Cobili was shocked, with a look of panic in his eyes, and then he calmed down again, and did not deny Lorist's accusation: "Who the hell are you? Is all this a conspiracy by you? It caused our Cobili family to fall into the current state. in such a situation…”
The Earl pointed to the city of Gerdos, and then to the three heads.
"Designed a conspiracy against you, who do you think you are? Don't you forget all the sins you did yourself? You pretended to be a red beard and pretended to be a horse thief to rob business trips in Puerto Orgue province. No one was left alive. Even women, children, old and young Don't let it go, and do all kinds of evil. Do you think you can get away with life by returning to the earl status? Do you think you can hide the evil things you have done for a lifetime? Today, I am here, which means that your road has come to an end. I will You uprooted the Kobili family, just like you did to other lords, and the males were slaughtered..."
Lorist's words were full of deep hatred. He waved his hand to signal Terman to step forward, pointed to the furry bear badge on Terman's chest and said, "Perhaps the Earl hasn't forgotten this badge, it's in your bedroom There are two mahogany boxes engraved with this badge. It was a gift from my third uncle to his beloved woman, but the family caravan led by my third uncle encountered Red Beard and all members died in battle. Over the years .Our family has been looking for the red bearded horse bandit. But I didn't expect that when I led the family caravan back to the Northland, I passed through your land and ran into the Lancers who attacked our caravan... "
"My lord, you can't think of it. Your mopping up troop wanted to attack our family's convoy, but we annihilated it instead. Then the captive confessed that you pretended to be a red-bearded horse bandit in Puerto Org Province many years ago. The most important thing is What's more, he's seen those two boxes with our family crest on them in your room. So we came to you..."
"You are the Norton family of the North..." Earl Cobili murmured, of course he remembered which family this furious bear badge represented, that is, the caravan that robbed the Norton family. He lost a gold rank, a The illegitimate son of the silver class, everyone in the family caravan of the Northland fought to the death and risked their lives, which left a deep impression on him, so he kept those two boxes as a souvenir.
Count Cobili is a bachelor, and now the sufferer has come to him, and the evidence is solid, and he has all the stolen goods. I have nothing to deny. He stared at Lorist and said with a smile: "It's the Earl who did it. There are many merchants who were looted by me many years ago. Since you came here, I will give you an explanation and see whose sword is stronger." .”
The Earl turned and left, and Lorist did not stop him. He just watched Earl Cobili go back to the Lancers, put on his armor and mount his horse, and turned the horse's head with a lance, facing himself. Behind him, those The illegitimate sons of the gold and silver ranks and the old cavalrymen who were loyal to Earl Cobili also got on their horses one after another, and lined up behind the Earl, in a posture of charging.
Lorist waved his hand, and gave a faint order: "Below silver, stand back and line up, and above silver, follow me, and prepare to charge."
Josk and Terman rode out first and stood behind Lorist, and Terman handed Lorist a spear. The silver-ranked knights stood behind Terman and Josk, and were also ready to charge.
Including Lorist, there were a total of twenty-seven knights. They formed a triangular charging formation with Lorist as the front. On the opposite side, they were about to charge against fifty-eight cavalrymen including Earl Cobilly. .
Everyone in the city and the city stopped making noise and watched the final showdown. The atmosphere was extremely oppressive, and no one dared to make any unnecessary noises.
Almost at the same time, both Lorist and Count Cobili launched a charge, and the two groups of people approached quickly.
Lorist's spear remained motionless, but behind him Jost's spear flashed with a golden sword light, and the lances of Terman and other twenty-five silver knights shone with silver cold light …
Earl Cobili was overjoyed, he aimed at Lorist with a cavalry gun with a flashing golden ruler-length sword light, it turned out that this kid was just a silver-headed wax gun-barrel, not even a silver-ranked one, as long as he took it down After losing this kid, I still have the hope of turning defeat into victory...
After blinking a few times, the two sides had already collided, and everyone was turned on their backs...
Count Cobili stabbed the lance with the flashing golden sword light towards Lorist's left shoulder fiercely, thinking to take this kid off his horse first, and then slowly repair him after capturing him...
Lorist raised his spear and clashed with the lance. The lance was swung high. The spear stretched and retracted in front of Count Cobili a few times like lightning. The Earl fell off the horse with incredible eyes. . With a swipe of Lorist's spear, the Earl, who hadn't landed yet, flew up again, leaped over the melee crowd, flew more than ten meters in the air and fell to the ground. He had two more wounds pierced by spears on his two shoulders, and he couldn't get up by himself at all, so he could only scream on the ground...
Lorist rushed into the crowd, stabbed and prodded, and in the blink of an eye more than a dozen Lancers were killed by his spear...
Lorist charged back and forth three times, and there was no longer a single Lancer on horseback at the scene. However, only a dozen or so of the twenty-six people who followed him were still on horseback.
Terman waved his hand, and the black iron knights lined up not far away rushed up, dismounted and began to treat the people on his side. As for the surviving Lancers, they were mercifully given a sword so that they could end as soon as possible. Pain is gone.
Thanks to the excellent protection of the full body armor, Terman reported after a while that eight people were seriously injured and fourteen were slightly injured, including himself. Terman's left arm had been cut and had just been bandaged. As for Earl Cobili, all the old Lancers who charged with him were annihilated, and his six silver-ranked illegitimate sons also died, and a gold-ranked illegitimate son was entangled with Jost until the end, and finally lost to the enemy. Count Cobili is the only one who is still alive.
Looking at Earl Cobili, who was curled up on the ground and moaning, Lorist said, "Make a cross, I will crucify him on it..."
