Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

While Richard and his soldiers were standing by, the group of soldiers finally fled to the tight shield under the leadership of Altamond of the Day Cortan family, although The soldiers were chased battered and exhausted, but the soldiers not at all panicked and rushed to the front of the shield formed by the soldiers. They all walked around from both sides and hid behind the shield to regroup.

Richard met with Altamond, who had not seen him for two days. He looked at the 19-year-old young nobleman. The other party no longer had the previous dignity at this time. His The helmet is no longer visible, revealing short and brown hair sticking together underneath, and his face is also covered with mud and clot of blood that I don’t know who it is. There are still a few cuts that have been cut and dented on his armor. The battle damage.

“What happened?” Richard asked in surprise.

“Damn it, don’t mention it, our Legion was surrounded by the empires, Legion was almost completely wiped out, and only a few people escaped.” Altamond said gasping for breath, his His eyes showed lingering emotions, and it could be seen that the battle that took place outside Cerektor Castle had left an indelible wound on his young mind.

After he finished, he didn’t wait for Richard to continue to inquire. Suddenly the complexion was greatly changed. He pointed his finger forward and shouted: “They are here! Richard, the empire’s chasers are here!”

When his voice fell, Richard suddenly looked in the direction he was pointing. With this look, his pupils shook suddenly, and then shrank violently—then, that was actually the cavalry unit of the Empire!

“Imperial Cavalry!”

“They are here!”

“Run! Run!”

Imperial Cavalry The moment they appeared, the defeated soldiers who had finally stabilized boiled again. They screamed and commotion in horror. Many people even turned and fled. At this moment, the system sounded in Richard’s mind. Tips:

You met the forces of Achaos in the Western Empire! (55)

Although he knows that there are only 55 people on the opposite side, Richard does not think he can win. Observing through naked eye, he knows that the opposite army is made up of cavalry. On the plains conducive to cavalry warfare, Richard can only rely on his 79 men, those frightened soldiers…

Richard dare not ask for their help, even if they don’t make trouble, it’s already thank God. Up.

Richard brows tightly frowns, watching all around and trying to find the factors that can help him win victory, Altamond beside him has stabilized his mind, although he still fears the cavalry of the Empire, but His natural boldness allowed him to still muster the courage to fight alongside Richard. As Richard’s gaze swept across the carriage behind him, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly noticed in his heart.

“Quickly, withdraw to the back of the carriage, let the carriage besiege the city, leaving only a few holes, and use the car body as a cover!”

He ordered to the soldiers, After the soldiers got the order, they turned around and drove away the carriage. Although the shooters did not join, they stood still and raised their crossbows to aim at the imperial cavalry that was getting closer. Altamund also heard Richard’s order. Although he didn’t understand the reason for Richard’s order, he still asked the rout soldiers who hadn’t escaped to help.

Therefore, under the soldiers’ work with a common purpose, the carriage was placed in an irregular circle. Everyone hid inside before the cavalry rushed over. I have to say, With the cover of the carriage body, everyone hiding inside felt relieved.

Without Richard’s order, the archers who hid in the circle spontaneously fired at the galloping cavalry. Those crossbowmen who had not lost their weapons also joined the shooting team when they saw it. Although they didn’t know whether these carriage bodies could block the imperial cavalry charge, they still had the courage to stand on the front line with their colleagues.

In addition, the soldiers equipped with lance also quickly filled the gap between the carriages, set up lance to aim at the outside, so that the imperial cavalry could not rush in through the gap, and the entire circle was like a huge hedgehog. Generally, the imperial cavalry of Achaos could not find a breakthrough point. They could only run back and forth in the outer circle of the circle, looking for opportunities.

However, the Vallandia crossbowmen and Richard’s imperial archers continue to shoot at them. Compared with the bows that require soldiers’ arm strength, the crossbow machine that relies on mechanical shooting can be more powerful. As long as they can maintain a sufficient number of crossbow arrows, the imperial cavalry on the periphery of the circle will always risk being shot by the crossbow arrows.

Acios quickly noticed this, because there were no private cavalry that used bows and arrows among his cavalry, and he could not fight back against enemies in the circle, so he could only be passively beaten. After being shot and killed several cavalrymen, he decided to change his strategy and took the cavalrymen to retreat to a far place, monitoring the Valandian in the circle.

At the same time, he also sent a messenger to report to Legion for help. As long as Legion’s reinforcements arrive, they can rely on their number advantage to launch an offensive. This group of tortoise-like Valandians can be considered. It didn’t help to hide behind the car front.

Achaos’ actions were all seen by Richard. He saw that these imperial cavalry were just staying far away, and he immediately knew that the matter was serious. He couldn’t be here with the imperial cavalry. While facing each other, this is the home of the enemy, and their reinforcements may arrive at any time. His simple car array is not the one used in the Hussite War, and it can be easily broken.

“Your Excellency Altamond, we should retreat.” Richard turned his head and looked towards the young nobleman beside him, said solemnly.

“How should we retreat? I don’t think Achos will just watch us evacuate safely.” He asked, still staring at the retreated Imperial Cavalry.

“To the west is a dense forest. As long as we can get into the forest, the imperial cavalry can do nothing about us. If they dare to chase after them, we can also use the complex terrain of the forest to ambush them. A lesson for these arrogant cavalry!” Richard gritted his teeth and said, since he was going to get into the forest as fast as he could, he had to discard all the looted food here. To be honest, he was still a little unwilling.

Listening to Richard’s words, Altamond hurriedly looked towards the jungle to the west, estimating the distance between the car array and the forest. He frowned and said in a worried voice: “From here to There is at least more than two hundred steps in the forest. If the imperial cavalry charges on the way, it will lead to a catastrophic defeat!”

“Do we have any options?” Richard stared. Asked Altamund’s emerald green pupils.

“You have a good question.” Altamond chuckled, he took a deep breath and vomited out slowly, then he looked upright and said: “Let’s do it then!”
