Mount and Blade

.........

The army arrived at the edge of a lake that had long been frozen solid. Opposite the lake were woods, where cavalry could be hidden, making it a perfect place for an ambush. This operation could be described as quite secretive. The scouts who had gone out a few days ago also expressed that they were helpless. People set foot in the woods here.

Of course, with Kadi here, it's unclear whether these scouts are still the same people as before.

"Dismount, wrap your horse's hooves in cloth and move forward!!"

Following Yuris's order, all the members of the White Dragon Knights dismounted collectively and followed Yuris' instructions.

Seeing Cady's calm expression, Green always felt a little uneasy, as if he would not be able to cross to the other side so easily.

As the army moved into action, Green could only follow Cady and begin to cross the river with the knights across the ice.

The cold air in the depth of winter made the armor on each member of the knights rustle, and it was so cold that several layers of frost formed on the armors of the warriors.

Halfway through the journey, a sudden change occurred. Hundreds of Jodah mercenaries armed with crossbows appeared on the shore of the forest that was almost in front of them.

"Suffer it, retreat!!!"

Yuris couldn't help but be shocked. In this situation, they were ambushed and suffered heavy losses. Unfortunately, it was too late. They were already too far into the enemy's range, and they didn't know how many enemy troops there were behind the woods.

"Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh"

The overwhelming crossbow arrows swept through the entire White Dragon Knights like a violent storm.

"Xululu!!" "Xululu!!"

The war horse was in pain and uncontrollably threw away the people holding the horse's rope. It ran wildly on the ice, slipped and broke the horse's leg, and smashed into the knights who were already wearing heavy armor. For a while, there was a constant stampede. The horses that were not frightened were also disturbed by this scene.

"Uh-huh!" "Bang"

"Well..."

The soldiers who were crushed and trampled by the horses screamed and groaned.

"Retreat! Retreat! Set up a shield wall to resist the rain of arrows and gradually retreat. Don't worry about the horses for now!"

Juris immediately issued the order, and the knights' extremely high combat literacy also caused them to quickly gather together, take out their shields, and arrange them closely to resist the dense crossbow bolts. Everyone had more or less crossbow bolts inserted into their bodies. , Fortunately, the White Dragon Knights are all full-body plate armor made by the nobles themselves. Even if they shoot through the plate armor, they can't penetrate the body. As long as they don't hit the fatal part, it's a small problem.

"Ping" "咻"

The crossbows hit the shields, making bursts of clanking sounds. Although from time to time there were groans of pain from knights, they were immediately replaced and those who could still fight picked up the shields and put them on top, and the injured were escorted They slowly retreated with their arms on their shoulders, rescuing some knights who were unable to get up after being crushed by their horses along the way.

"Baron Leo, let me help you up."

"Thank you..." The knight, who was crushed by the dead horse, expressed his gratitude.

"Hold still! Rescue the wounded faster."

Despite encountering obstacles, Yuris still commanded in an orderly manner. After all, the person who could lead the strongest knights in the Hundred Years War was far from being a waste without leadership.

"Whoosh" "Whoosh"

Gradually out of the enemy's range, the crossbow arrows became sparse, and the bodies of more than a dozen white dragon knights and dozens of attendants were left on the ground.

Gambino waved his hand to signal everyone to stop shooting, but made no further plans. After all, his mercenary group only numbered about 500 people, and the lake was icy and unsuitable for combat. He just had to complete the tasks assigned above.

Just when everyone in the White Dragon Knights finally returned to the shore and breathed a sigh of relief, the Juda people's heavy cavalry suddenly appeared in the vast and uninhabited snowfield behind them, and their horse hooves made a sound on the ground.

"Damn it?! Who leaked the news to the Judah people?!"

One time it could be said to be an accident, but this time the Juda people were obviously well prepared. It was obvious that there were enemy spies in the army! !

"Jie Jie Jie, Black Sheep Iron Spear Heavy Cavalry Regiment, charge!!"

"oh!!!"

Seeing this, the knights of the White Dragon Knights almost all had a desperate death wish in their eyes.

"Don't just stand there, form a formation and pick up your weapons!!"

Yuris was also covered in cold sweat. No, even if he died here, he would never allow defeat. He would not accept it! !

"Tap tap tap" "rumble"

Two horseshoes and the sound of the army's order came from the hills on one side. They were the Tummel Knights of the Erote family and the Yalok Knights led by General Laban! ! And the Midland archers and Midland sergeants they commanded! !

"Saved!!"

"It's Master Laban!!"

The people of the White Dragon Knights burst into cheers, with high fighting spirit.

"Okay, just work hard and hold on!!" Yuris also breathed a sigh of relief, and his face became much more relaxed, inspiring everyone in the White Dragon Knights.

"Damn it!"

The leading General Black Sheep cursed secretly. He didn't expect that the two armies would join together so quickly. He would not be so foolish as to let the Black Sheep heavy cavalry die in vain. Even if it was just a charge, it would only take away the lives of some retinues and attendants. , it is too difficult to rush into the knights and kill a few, and it is not cost-effective.

"What should we do? General Keen." A deputy general of the Black Sheep Iron Spear Heavy Cavalry asked. There are thousands of people on the other side now.

"Retreat!!" Keen reacted immediately, turned around and took the Black Sheep Iron Lancers away from the battlefield.

"Fire the arrow!!"

Laban would never let them go like this. The archers had already prepared to draw the bowstrings and aimed directly at the sky where the Black Sheep Iron Lance Heavy Cavalry Regiment was. A wave of volleys covered the sky and left dozens of corpses.

"Damn it!" Keen cursed inwardly and fled with his men.

Seeing that their mission was completed, Gambinno also took his men and quickly slipped away. He would not wait here for Midland's revenge until all the Jodas ran away.

The people of the White Dragon Knights finally collapsed on the ground with a heavy burden on their shoulders. Many horses were still falling on the lake and couldn't get up. As long as they were not dead or lame, they could still be used again.

"Long time no see, Duke Yuris."

Laban and another man who looked a little older drove down from the hills.

"Long time no see, General Laban... Fortunately you arrived in time."

Yuris was relieved. He originally came here to increase the combat power, but it was really a headache to be in such a state. The White Dragon Knights had never fought such a frustrating battle.

"It's good that everything is fine. Leave it to us to handle the battlefield. Take a break. We will set off after the soldiers have rested. There are spies from the Joda people everywhere in this area..."

"...I will pay attention."

The continuous sneak attacks by the Joda people have aroused Yuris's vigilance. He almost lost his life here. He will send his confidants to investigate the matter.
