I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 229 Foolish Loyalty [Please vote]

The number of people who went to war was the same as the number of people who returned after the war.

It stands to reason that this is something worth being happy and celebrating.

At least this proves that the mission of going out to fight is not difficult at all, and it is a complete victory.

But this expedition is not to plunder villages, let alone some easy invasion mission.

Instead, they used a cavalry force of nearly eighty to attack a cavalry force of less than fifty people.

There was an advantage in numbers, but they were not crushed. Not to mention the combat experience of both sides, the equipment of the executioner soldiers alone made it difficult for his cavalry to handle them quickly.

It was the horse that the executioner soldiers rode, which allowed Robien to see the chance of a stable victory, so he opened the city gate to launch a surprise attack.

The executioner's soldiers collapsed before they reached the camp, abandoning their armor as they ran. Everyone saw this scene.

According to the situation at that time, the executioner soldiers did not have any will to fight. It would be extremely easy to clear out the defeated soldiers.

But the problem is.
These defeated soldiers are still human beings after all.

Even if fifty pigs are killed for you, they will probably be beaten.

What's more, in a narrow area like a mountain forest, the cavalry encircled and suppressed the cavalry.

There were no casualties or injuries to the horses during the contact between the two sides, which was unbelievable to Robien.

He wanted to believe that his cavalry was truly unparalleled, but reality would not be so perfect.

Just as the city gate was raised, the returning cavalry shouting victory came towards the city, seemingly slowing down.

But Robien was on the city wall, confused and confused.

The guard on the side was surprised: "Lord Bode, didn't you say you wanted to go down to the city gate in person to greet me?"

"No need to wait a moment."

The sky was slowly darkening, and Robien squinted at the leader of the cavalry, trying to see if he was one of the knights he was familiar with.

The leading cavalryman seemed to feel Robien's gaze and slowly raised his head.

The two looked at each other, with a hint of sarcasm in their brown eyes.

This face is both familiar and unfamiliar.

It’s so familiar that it’s heart-warming, but it’s so unfamiliar that it’s scary!
It's Raya Knight!
Robien's pupils trembled, and he raised his hands and shouted to the guards: "Put down the city gate! These are not my soldiers! They are Raya's troops! Put down the city gate!"

However it was too late.

In this kind of weather, as long as Xu Siling's face can be seen clearly with the naked eye, it proves that Xu Siling's troops are not too far away from Dramisburg.

With the blessing of the flaming horses, charging at such a distance should not be simple.

Without waiting for the city wall guard to react, Xu Siling whistled.

The horses ridden by the executioner soldiers no longer suppressed their speed and rushed together.

Their goal is to conquer the castle and achieve victory!
As the executioner soldiers rushed through the city gates, they swung their swords at the guards who greeted them.

This phenomenon made many guardsmen stunned.

Until Robien discovered that the city gate was wide open, and what greeted him was not his victorious cavalry, but the devil Xu Siling!
He shouted angrily: "Counterattack! They are Raya's troops! Raise your sword!"

The castle guards immediately counterattacked,

The difference between the guards of Dramisburg and the guards of Alston Town is still very obvious.

They also fell into panic, but the former was able to react quickly and regain their strength, while the latter remained in a slump until the end of the war.

But at this time, there is still a serious gap between the two.

When the outer city of Alston fell, the town still had knight leaders, many elite retinues, and experienced soldiers. Although morale was low, the standard configuration was still there, which bought Angus a lot of time to escape and enter the inner fort.

But Dramisburg, which had lost nearly eighty elite cavalrymen, what was left for Xu Siling to nibble away?

All the knights sent out to carry out the orders died, and none of the knights' retinue returned.

Only the guards of mediocre ability were left in Dramisburg to contend with Xu Siling.

Once the ordinary guard sergeant died, the temporary command system was on the verge of collapse.

Robin knew that the situation in the outer city was over.

The executioner soldier pretending to be a prisoner lifted off the cloth strips on his body, broke away from the meaningless rope, exposed his fish scale armor, pulled out his sword and shield from his horse, and headed towards the city wall.

"Don't forget Lord Siling's order!"

"Control the wall! Capture Bode!"

Perhaps due to the influence of the Battle of Alston, the people of Dramisburg heard the sound of fighting with iron weapons coming from outside.

Knight Raya led his troops into the city.

Although they panicked, they didn't move.

The Battle of Tamburg was no longer an exception, and coupled with the Battle of Alston, the people of the Earldom subconsciously believed that Knight Raya and Miss Raya would not harm the people.

Without the impact of the people running around, the executioner soldiers rode horses and used the advantage of horses in the outer city to wreak havoc on the guards surrounding the castle.

"Baldor is on the wall!"

With a loud shout, some of the executioner soldiers dismounted to fight, raised their shields and headed towards the city wall.

On the stairs inside the city wall, there was a fierce fighting with swords, blood and flesh splattered, and screams one after another.

The castle guards fell more, but the executioner soldiers suffered fewer injuries.

In close group battles, the advantages of fish scale armor over chain mail are most clearly demonstrated.

The executioner soldiers wearing fish scale armor knew the truth very well and took the lead in standing at the front to act as human shields.

The companion behind him picked up a long knife and slashed at the enemy in the gap, or raised a spear to stab directly.

The long knife shone with cold light, flashing with murderous intent under the fire.

The shield blocks attacks and counterattacks.

The executioner soldiers moved forward bravely and continued to win in the fierce staircase battle.

Xu Siling was riding a horse. He was not too far away. He held a short bow in his hand, opened the bow and nocked an arrow, and aimed at the guard on the city wall who was holding a crossbow and preparing for a sneak attack.

As soon as the arrow is released, one person will be killed.

Xu Siling, who is already a master of bow and arrow, has already hit the target with every shot, let alone from such a distance.

He saw Bode's presence on the city wall and knew that he was stuck on the city wall and could not get up and down. It was a matter of time before he was captured.

Even if he could be shot to death with one arrow, Xu Siling would not do so.

What he has to do now is to be wary of these castle guards and sneak attack his soldiers with crossbows.

There are only a dozen soldiers wearing fish-scale armor, and most of them are wearing the chain mail of the Dramisburg cavalry. The chain mail is useless in the face of a crossbow at such a distance. In order to protect one's own soldiers, this kind of Casualties should be avoided.

Xu Siling's main task is to kill the castle guards who want to attack with crossbows one by one.

leftover?
Of course, he was waiting for his soldiers to board the city and capture Robien.

He also wanted to get off his horse and board the city, but he had no choice but to take care of the soldiers around him who were still riding horses to control the situation under the city wall.

With the blessing of the horse's leadership talent skill, everyone's horses have 80% of the fire ability value. This is the capital that the executioner soldiers can wreak havoc on horseback.

Just for a moment.

The entire city of Dramisburg was filled with the smell of blood.

The sounds of fighting, screams, and metal collisions were intertwined.

If Robien's knights, knight retinues, and some prestigious veterans were here, they could take the lead in controlling the situation. But these people all died in the mountains and forests, leaving only the headless guards blocking the city wall, claiming to be protecting the lords.

Robien, who was not wearing any armor at all, was holding a long sword and felt helpless.

Seeing that the situation on the city wall was under control, Xu Siling finally dismounted and walked toward the city wall step by step with his two-handed sword.

The castle guards on the city wall were huddled together as they were killed, Robyn among them.

It stands to reason that during the siege, Xu Siling should have asked the castle guards to abandon their armor and surrender, but let these off-duty guard soldiers abandon their armor and surrender in front of their lord?

I'm afraid I can't do it.

This is different from the situation in the mountains and forests.

"The situation is over, Bode, surrender, so that none of your soldiers will die."

Xu Siling walked out from the executioner soldiers and casually put his two-handed sword on his shoulders.

"As expected, it was you. The defeat of the soldiers in your camp in front was all an illusion! Leaving so arrogantly during the day also hinted to me that you are not in Dramisburg! I didn't expect that all this was your plan."

"You are very smart, much smarter than that mouse in Angus. I have a lot of ways to deal with fools. But for a smart old man like you, I'm sorry, but I still have a lot of ways to deal with fools."

"You are a devil! I shouldn't have been coaxed by you. I was tempted by you and finally opened the city gate. Originally, as long as I didn't open the city gate, I would not lose!"

Xu Siling shook his head helplessly: "You will always only regret that you lost. We are different. We will only regret that we did not win thoroughly enough."

"Knight Raya! My knight, my knight retinue, my cavalry! How are they?"

Although he could guess the answer, Robien still wanted to be sure.

Xu Siling blinked: "Them? They all died heroically."

Robyn was lost: "How could it be possible that you didn't reduce your number?"

Even if nearly 80 cavalrymen fell into an ambush, Xu Siling's troops did not have more than a hundred troops. Even if they were outnumbered, there should have been casualties. But judging from the troops Xu Siling brought to attack the city, there were not many people. Missing.

Of course Xu Siling would not say anything about killing the prisoners after he faked surrender.

Killing prisoners is no big deal. He and Fei'er advocate a no-prisoners policy.

But it would be a bit bad to kill the prisoners after feigning surrender.

Mainly due to the situation at the time, it was impossible for him to leave manpower to guard these people in the mountains and forests, and it would be even more unrealistic to just let these people go.

After thinking about it again and again, I still absolutely killed these people.

No one else knows anyway.

There was no way his executioner soldiers could tell such a thing.

In the eyes of everyone, his army of executioner soldiers did not have any professional qualities as soldiers, and in fact they did not.

As long as victory can be achieved, any means is acceptable within certain principles.

However, pretending to surrender and killing prisoners does not fall within this principle.

"Bode, stand up like a man, don't hide behind, come out and throw away your sword, your soldiers will live because of your kindness. Their families are still living in Dramisburg, if you don't Come out, their families will lose their father, husband, and son tonight.”

This sentence undoubtedly touched the hearts of the guards, and their eyes turned to Robien.

As we all know, even enemy soldiers can survive as long as they are willing to abandon their armor and surrender.

The soldiers at Tamburg and Alston are examples.

But if Robien is unwilling to surrender, then as guards, they cannot do so.

Robin was a charismatic lord, and many knights and soldiers were more or less influenced by him.

This is why, when the outer city fell, even if the castle guards were completely defeated and the situation was uncontrollable, they would still rush to the city wall in order to protect Robien.

Robin clenched the sword in his hand, and he felt the sight of the guards around him. This was their home, and their families were waiting for them to go back.

He took a deep breath and finally made his decision.

"My soldiers, put down your weapons and take off your armor."

"Lord Bode."

"Do as I say."

Seeing this, the castle guards threw away their weapons and surrendered.

Xu Siling couldn't help but nod: "It's convenient to communicate with smart people."

Robin shook his head to himself, pushed away the guard and walked out. He was a little older, but he didn't look too old.

He has a strong body and is dressed in aristocratic clothing. He holds a sword tightly in both hands and points the blade at Xu Siling.

"Knight Raya, I challenge you to a duel!"

This scene surprised the guards and executioner soldiers, and even Xu Siling couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"The late king is the honored lord, and you are the murderer who forced him to death! I know that I can't defeat you. If I could, I would hate to kill you, the biggest sinner in the kingdom!" Robin was extremely serious, "You are right, We are all smart people, and smart people must know how to judge the situation. But..."

"When the late king was still alive, he often taught me that he could endure the calm for a while and take a step back to open up the world. But I tell you, Knight Raya, I, Robyn Bode, have endured it, but I have never retreated!"

"Because the late king also said that people can live ordinary and low-key, but they cannot live without spine!"

"I, Lord Dramisburg, Robyn Baldur!"

"I challenge you, the perfect knight of the kingdom, to a duel!"

To be honest, Xu Siling was in a bad mood.

He knew very well that the Robin in front of him was a smart man. If he listened to Mayfair honestly, he would be of great help to Mayfair in the subsequent national war.

It's a pity that this smart man is a fool.

Foolish loyalty is never a compliment.

The cry of the kings before me.

But he didn't understand at all what kind of person Philip VI was and how poor his evaluation in history was.

Even the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Crecy still did not erode Robien's loyalty.

Xu Siling didn't have a good opinion of loyalty, but he admired Robin in his heart.

But Robien's loyal object was Philip VI, which made him feel extremely bad.

Xu Siling handed the two-handed sword to the person next to him, and there happened to be a fallen one-handed sword at his feet.

He lifted his foot cleverly.

The one-handed sword danced in the air, spinning in the air as if it had wings.

Xu Siling easily caught the one-handed sword with his right hand and turned it naturally, looking cool and relaxed.

"Come on, Bode, I promise you, I will personally send you down to see Philip VI."

Seeing Xu Siling take a stance, Robin raised his sword and charged forward with a roar.

This is a duel without any surprises.

Robien was hit by several swords and fell to the ground.

Xu Siling casually threw away the one-handed sword in his hand, deliberately not cutting off Robin's head.

Even if it needs to be cut, it will be done after the fact.

The Battle of Dramisburg is not over yet, and Robien's life is still of some use to him. (End of chapter)
