Thinking of this, Matthew couldn't help sighing. He shook his head and stopped thinking about things that were too far away from him. All he had to consider was how to capture the defense of the Tonigels. The nobles had already captured three or four villages, but they had not gained much. The Tonigels retreated to the south bank of the Alder River to build a defense. And they followed here. Among them, Baron Godham from Blackwater Bay was the fastest. The previous news said that he had captured Emden not far to the west of here, and it was estimated that he would be heading towards Horta. The attacking front arrows converged.
"Hurry up!" Matthew rubbed his frozen hands and shouted to his men: "Capture the manor in front, do whatever you want, the women and the belongings are all yours, but move faster. , Don't let anyone preempt it!"
The knights suddenly promised, but the infantrymen remained indifferent. Those things didn't fall on them anyway. They dragged their steps forward in this weather, or they fell to nowhere and couldn't get up again. It came because of the swords of the knight masters hanging over his head.
In this mood, these stiff soldiers finally landed on the beach. The knights first let the archers shoot a wave of rockets into the forest, but it is not ideal in such a weather. The temperature is too low and the bow arms are brittle. The fire was not easy to light, and many bowstrings were broken in a volley. This wave of arrows can only be said to be in vain.
But Matthew didn’t care about this. He immediately let the infantry advance into the forest in a combat formation. The Tonigel’s line of defense was looming outside the manor, and the opponent had a well-maintained magic bow and crossbow, which was equally effective in such a climate. It produces lethality in a place two hundred steps away, and people can't help but condemn Tonigel's extravagance.
Sure enough, the sound of bowstrings rang from the front. Several infantrymen walking in the front row fell down in response, and the team immediately commotion. When Matthew saw this, he cursed secretly, but he was very familiar with this situation and immediately ordered the supervising team to step forward. After stabbing a few staggering soldiers, the team reorganized.
Matthew knew in his heart that there were not many enemies. This was their biggest disadvantage. As long as they stayed steady and unshakable, the other party could not resist—they won in the previous few battles.
The Tonigal people really started to retreat, and now they still have a deep defense, but their troops are far from enough. And when the opponent loses even the space to retreat, it's time for a real showdown.
Matthew was confident about it. He saw the somewhat tattered fir-collar emblem flag in the forest retreating. In the end, he didn't know what happened. Perhaps the flag bearer was killed. The flag shook and fell down. .
"The Tonigel's mice are back again!" The rebels finally cheered, or rather rejoiced: "They dare not make us enemies at all, chase them and kill them!"
In the entire battlefield led by Mintai, this situation is repeated.
The sudden rebels almost smashed the unprepared Mintai-led local defenders. Except for sporadic resistance, in most places, the Tonigal people kept retreating, evacuating and even being annihilated.
Matthew turned his head and saw that the flag of the nobles of the South was also erected in the direction of Wayland. A flag representing the occupation was being erected on the south side of the Old River Beach. The progress of the noble army began to speed up, or rather Tonygel Human resistance is getting weaker and weaker.
"It looks like we are going to win."
He thought so in his heart.
But at this time, the noble flag that had just been erected on the hill in the direction of Weiland Ferry suddenly collapsed suddenly.
Matthew happened to see this scene. He saw a knight rushing up the hillside from the other side, slashing the flag bearer from the crowd.
Matthew looked at all this almost in astonishment. That must be the cavalry of the Tonigel people, but why do they still have a new force here at this time? Instead of retreating backwards, they launched an impact on the coalition front
Are these people crazy
He watched one knight after another appear on the top of the hill. The poor private soldiers of the nobleman who had occupied the top of the hill were killed without leaving a piece of armour. Those knights contemptuously threw the chopped noble flag on the ground.
Then another flag appeared on the top of the mountain.
What it first exposed was just the tip of a spear with the silver ornamentation of the sacred lily of Eruin carved on the tip of the spear, and then the entire flag jumped up from the back of the hill.
Matthew actually narrowed his eyes.
That is not the battle flag of the White Lion Guard.
It’s not a heraldic flag with a fir collar—
It was a silver, square flag waving in the wind. The flag was drawn with spike-like textures. The red ribbon encircled the silver star and the white moon. Under the star and the moon, there is the holy emblem of the Corcovado royal silver lily. .
That is exactly the star and moon lily flag that represents Eruin.
Matthew's heart jumped hard.
He quickly bit off the grass roots in his mouth and threw it on the ground. Turning around and shouting at the knights under his men: "The whole team, the whole team, let the spearman move forward!"
A row of knights appeared on the hill, then the second row and the third row, they lined up neatly and rushed down the hill.
The silver armor gleamed under the daylight, like a silver wave, directly passing the noble private soldiers who were panicking and fleeing down the hill.
In fact, there was another nobleman's army from here, but Matthew looked at the hapless move, and realized that they could not save themselves, nor could they help him in any way. He can only pray that those damn idiots don't help himself.
"These Tonigal people must be crazy..."
Matthew's mind was messed up at this moment. He finally realized who the opponent was. It was the white lion knight of the Tonigel people. They must have been killed from Horta's direction.
But they dared to attack the coalition on the front line of the Old River.
The noble knight not far from him finally reacted and quickly turned his spearmen to form the team, but it was too late, the river beach shook, and there was already a silver wave in the distance.
Some people started screaming and retreating. The thin line of remaining spearmen couldn't stop the terrible army at all, and they were defeated in a rush. Matthew saw with his own eyes that the noble knight was poked off his horse with a shot, and then his skull was smashed. The eyeballs mixed with white brains splashed out, and then fell in a cloud of snow.
Their opponents have no mercy, and they did not keep their hands because they are nobles. This is completely inconsistent with the rules of the Eruin war. Even the undead of Madara will try to leave alive the noble knights, in the hope that they can be exchanged later. Get a huge ransom.
These people must be demons.
Matthew couldn't help shivering. For the first time, he felt that his guts were not enough on the battlefield. He almost had the subconscious behavior of retreating at that moment, but the experience accumulated over the years on the battlefield made him sober. Come here.
You must not retreat at this moment, retreat is death.
Suddenly several wizards appeared in the sky. These Sassard wizards in blue robes flew across the sky above him, and rushed straight to the white lion knights who suddenly appeared—the Bugga people! Matthew felt fortunate that he was saved, but he had some doubts in his heart. When did Bougainian wizards have been monitoring the battlefield in his direction, these silver people's reaction was too quick, and they moved out. Just four people.
He has been with the noble coalition from letting Denell to this point. He has never seen so many Buga wizards appearing together on the battlefield. The most time they were dispatched was when they fought against the Valkyrie knights. On the battlefield, it is said that the battle was simply earth-shattering, but it was a pity that he just missed that battle.
The scene where the four silver wizards joined forces made Matthew's blood boil. Although he knew that the other party didn't like him, a worthless noble knight lord like Eruin, he still felt that being able to fight side by side with these powerful existences. It's a worthwhile trip.
The White Lion Knight has completely torn apart the scattered formation of the noble lord's spearman in front, like a hot knife cutting butter, without any hindrance. They continued to move forward, and then swallowed the guys who turned and ran away, leaving almost no living mouth, and blood was already flowing on the beach in an instant.
The remaining knights of the noble lord roared to greet them, but what awaited them was about the same end. The legendary knights were more terrifying than imagined, and they were torn to pieces almost instantly.
Matthew has never seen such a bloody fight. It is said that only in the few battlefields of the second holy war, the two sides who killed the red eye are entangled in order to achieve a loss ratio of 70% to 80%. In the battle of I, every soldier who experienced such a nightmare was called a survivor of the long war.
His mind almost trembles with the sound of the opponent's horseshoes, but the wizard above his head finally gave him some courage, and asked him to force his men to stand firm. Perhaps the deserters in front gave them the miserable end. The insensitive aristocratic private soldiers are a little bit irritated. Finally, no one in Matthew's team turned and retreated. Although the infantry trembled and the formation was crooked, the counter-charge triple spear array always gave them back. A little psychological comfort.
Matthew panted heavily, trying to calm his nervousness. Fortunately, his military experience in the Black Rose War finally calmed him a little bit.
