And outside the city of Carcassonne, the capital of the province of Aude, the messy siege camp built by more than 2 royalists has been completely dispersed by the Free Army cavalry who suddenly approached the city.Therefore, the remaining companies trapped in the provincial capital also took the opportunity to rush out and form a pincer attack.

I saw one team after another of half-armored cavalry, led by knights in full plate armor, rushing into the almost defenseless Royalist camp one after another; Zhang's flag, together with the scattered enemy soldiers, were chopped down and kicked over one after another.

In a sense, Duval, who was expelled and entrusted with the post, was not a very experienced general; but he was undoubtedly an outstanding and excellent cavalry officer.Because, after the long-distance raid arrived near the city, he did not hesitate to adopt the fighting method he was most familiar with.

It's like he defeated all kinds of enemies many times under the command of the White Legion, the Royal Party of Provence, in the name of the Knights of Avignon.First use heavy knights to break through the enemy's line, and then the knight entourage will expand the gap, waiting for an opportunity to kill through the enemy's line or divide it.

Then, under the cover of the follow-up of the brigade of infantry, the enemy's resistance was completely disintegrated and defeated.And the timing he chose this time was before dawn; there was even another hour to eat, rest, and regroup.Therefore, once it is activated, it will burst down like a flood.

The sentries and patrols on the outskirts of the camp had no chance to issue a warning signal, and they were already submerged under the torrent of iron armor that suddenly appeared in the wilderness.Then, under the sleepiness and fatigue of most people in the camp, they broke through their lines and the chaotic camp one by one.

The battle went so smoothly, and the enemy's resistance was so weak and empty; Duval, who had been hanging on his mind, was greatly relieved; Desperate, besieged to doubt the self-confidence of life.

Of course, compared to the battle under the city of Avignon, being a member of the Free Army Cavalry Company now is also very different from the past.Because, in addition to the traditional spears, axes, sticks and hammers, they are also equipped with more firearms of all kinds, from hand cannons to thrown explosive incendiaries.

Therefore, wherever these groups of heavily armored knights passed by, stabbing, slashing, smashing, smashing and kicking out countless bloody winds, they also threw various firearms along the way, ignited and exploded into pieces of messy The camp; push these panic-stricken enemies further into hell.

Therefore, in the besieged camp of the Royal Party/old nobles, the largest and most conspicuous ornate tents were lit one after another to become flaming torches.The few armed nobles who were able to gather under the protection of the retainers and tribes to resist were also bombed with flesh and limbs flying all over the place.

The enemy army in this camp has already fallen into an irreversible decline and defeat.At the moment, it is a scene of the collapse of the horse-riding joint venture.However, Duval, who easily won the first battle again and again, is still unsatisfied; because he wants more annihilation rather than defeat.

But fortunately, the other captain of the Free Army Alliance in the city is not too dull; although there was no prior contact and communication, he still gathered the remaining strength later, and launched coordination from the three city gates one after another. Sexual counterattack.Although the number is not large, it somewhat stops the enemy.

After fighting for a buffer of half an hour or more, another deputy assigned to Duval, Chayala, who was a lieutenant in the navy, finally led the rest of the mounted infantry company and rushed to the edge of the battlefield. And dismount and line up to intercept most of the defeated enemies.

Therefore, after three poles that day, the battle under the city of Carcassonne entered the countdown and the end.Claiming to have a crowd of 1, in fact there were only more than [-] motley royalists/old aristocratic armed forces, a small half of which were killed, and most of the rest became prisoners one after another in the chaotic chase.

However, next Duval actually has a follow-up mission and task; that is to identify among these captives, those nobles with deep historical roots or local influence, and try to find a way to torture the criminal evidence and after the public trial, use suitable method to send them to hell.

Of course, this is also a potential disguised test for those members who joined the Free Army halfway, former fief knights/jazz and minor noble backgrounds.See if they have resolutely made a clean break with the past, or not, and someone will secretly observe and report.

But at least for Duval, he has no opinion on this kind of thing, and even has some enthusiasm for it.Because on the one hand, it is always a pleasant thing to see these high-ranking families who need to be looked up to be trampled under their feet, crying and begging.

On the other hand, ever since it was discovered that one of the most prestigious local nobles in Provence was actually a harmful and cannibalistic alien from the root; , after the inheritance of the blood of the hometown of knights.

The lower-level inheritance knights he represents; they are completely disappointed and have no mercy for these decadent and depraved nobles of the old kingdom;The most ridiculous thing is that I was still working hard for it before.

Therefore, how much they trusted, admired, and respected the other side's camp at the beginning, now they have intensified their hatred, and even gritted their teeth and wanted to kill them all.Of course, there may also be innocent people who don't know, or unlucky people who are just involved.

But does this have anything to do with the inheritance knights?Therefore, in many cases, they are more fanatical and extreme than most of the Freedom Army soldiers from the bottom when dealing with similar situations; so much so that they need a special military judge to restrain their behavior.

However, to Duval's slight disappointment, there was no abnormality found among these royalists; otherwise, he could justifiably send a large number of them to the stake after a public trial.Fortunately, his mood didn't last long, and he became serious with the newly received order: "The headquarters of the legion commander has captured the port of Sete, and the invading Sardinian army has no way out."

"Long live victory!" The generals gathered on the left and right couldn't help but immediately raised their weapons and cheered: then Duval ordered: "Gather the personnel who are still fighting, and the horses in good condition; after that, we rushed to Montpellier , meet with the Legion Commander..."

Just outside the city of Carcassonne, seven full cavalry companies assembled and set off again; a huge transport team that Jiang Tian was in also arrived outside the city of Montpellier in the province of Hérault.Thanks to the speed of the soldiers, the news of the change of hands of the Port of Sete had not yet reached the provincial capital.

Therefore, as the leading five companies of the Free Army, they were able to calmly disguise themselves as supply convoys and escort soldiers from the Kingdom of Sardinia; Passed by, sentries and guards arranged on the periphery.

However, here Jiang Tian also got a bad news, a good news; a not-so-bad news.The bad news is that since the Montpellier tragedy, most of the Cagliari Corps formed by the Sardinian naval combat company have moved north to the fortress of Somière.

The good news is that the Royalist Legitimacy Army/Puppet Protectorate Government now occupying the provincial capital of Montpellier; except for a small number of small troops who went out to search, most of them gathered in the city and continued to carnival for many days.Therefore, the guards at the gates of the various cities are extremely lax and negligent...

The good news is that the high-level of the orthodox army/protection government headed by the Marquis de Sade in the city has shown considerable enthusiasm and initiative for the backup troops and supplies from the "Kingdom of Sardinia"; The escorted generals were invited to enter the city for entertainment.

This makes people a little dumbfounded.Despite this, Jiang Tian decided to accept the other party's "goodwill and goodwill"; and then, under the shout of a genuine Sardinian lieutenant, the city of Montpellier opened up.

Afterwards, the "Sardinian soldiers" who swarmed in arrogantly expelled and drove away the royalist soldiers guarding the city gate without any explanation.Although the other party was unavoidably angry and agitated, under the persuasion of the officer guarding the gate, he swallowed his anger and backed away.

With such a "good" start, the next thing is easier.Just as soldiers outside the city continued to pour in and take over the city wall; the "Sardinian Kingdom Officer" headed by Jiang Tian was also ushered into the city by a ceremonial officer with a white face and a wig.

It's just that after riding the horse all the way, the smell of blood and scorching accumulated in the air still couldn't be dissipated.On the eaves, walls and bridges of the roadside, there are rows and rows of stripped corpses hanging, and there are both men, women and children, obviously ravaged by inhumans during their lifetime.

It's just that when Jiang Tian paid attention to it, the ceremony officer who led the way was full of pride and pride, and raised his hand from time to time to introduce the origin of one of them; for example, the whole family of a city hall official, the wife and daughter of a Republican officer, and even It's the weak elements and traitors in the royal party...

But he didn't notice at all that the sneering Jiang Tian and the expressionless officers behind him were furious in the silence.The streets are also full of rubbish and sundries that have not been cleaned up, and the dry and blackened blood stains on the walls and stone crevices on the ground are still vivid.

From time to time, you can also see groups of disorganized armed forces entrenched or wandering in the streets; as well as hoarse crying, wailing, and begging for mercy faintly heard from houses, shops, taverns, trading houses, churches and other buildings.Occasionally, a pale female body flashed past the door and window.

Then, it turned into a large blood flower falling from upstairs; it also caused the naked soldiers protruding from the wound to curse endlessly.Obviously, under the occupation of the royal party, in just over ten days, this city, which is known as the garden of the south, has now turned into this devastated appearance.

In other words, under the pressing step by step of the Free Army and breaking down separately, the Royalist Party, which lost most of the local support and sources of supplements, has gradually become a bandit and bandit-like faction.For example, in order to encourage and win over all kinds of armed forces, condone robbery and killing as a reward.

However, after crossing a bridge in the urban area, the surrounding environment changed again.The streets have become much neater and cleaner, and the buildings have become taller and brand-new; soldiers on duty at checkpoints or wandering on the streets even have burqas with a uniform white iris pattern.
