The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

"Krzysztof, Simon, you two enter." Walter returned to his team, pointed at two of them, and said.

Fatima followed Walter's fingers and saw the two men, Krzysztof and Simon, who had a sturdy waist, and the other was slender like a stick on the bank of a river.

In addition to the preparations of the wing cavalry, the two of them also carry their own personal weapons.

Krzysztof used a two-handed sword that was the same height as his body. This two-handed sword has a relatively large cross hilt. Its sheath tenon (the part between the blade and the hilt) is very long. There are two protruding hand guards under the hilt guard. There is also a weight ball at the end to balance the weight, so that the two-handed sword is not top-heavy.

All in all, this is a very lethal weapon. In the 16th century when the Pike phalanx was rampant, if a group of soldiers with two-handed swords broke through the pikemen's spear forest, what awaited them would be a feast of blood.

And that Simon, who was like a stick, had a flail in his saddle.

Flail was originally a manual threshing farm tool in Eastern Europe. It consists of a bamboo handle and a knocking rod. When working, the bamboo handle is swung up and down to make the knocking rod rotate around the axis, and the wheat ears are knocked to make the epidermis fall off.

But such a simple farm tool was used by the peasants there during the Hussite War in Hungary to fight the knights armed to the teeth, and achieved amazing results. Soon, uprising peasants from all over the country followed suit, turning the flail into a weapon one after another. In the early days of the Zaporozhye Cossack uprising, the main weapon of many Ukrainian militias who defected to Khmelnitsky was flail.

And now, a noble wing cavalry also uses this cheap weapon as his secondary weapon.

Of course, the flail used by Simon is an improved military flail. It is composed of a long wooden rod and a short rod covered with iron, which are connected by an iron chain. But the method used is the same-the user holds one end of the long stick and hits the person with the short stick.

Fatima jumped off the horse. She is still a Damascus scimitar in one hand and a steel shield in the other.

"Which of you two will go first?"

Fatima raised her eyebrows and said to Krzysztof and Simon.

"You are one less person." Krzysztof reminded her when she saw that Fatima had come out alone.

"You don't need two people, because the one who wins next must be me."

Fatima's confident words are easily considered arrogant, at least that is what Krzysztof and Simon think. Both of them stepped forward at the same time, hoping to fight Fatima first.

"Simon, leave this guy to me." Krzysztof said to Simon.

Krzysztof was confident enough to defeat Fatima. Because the difference between Fatima and his size is as obvious as a tiger and a rabbit. Kristov felt that he could smash his opponent into meatloaf with just one blow.

Of course, since the other party had let go of his commander with such a chivalrous spirit before, then Krystorov would have to retaliate, using only six or seven points of strength to beat her to the fracture.

"Why give it to you, didn't you see that my weapon was her nemesis?" Simon bluntly refused.

He has no habit of humility. And what he said was the truth, the flail could easily bypass the shield of the shield soldier and hit the opponent.

The two let no one. After all, Krzysztof and Simon had the same official rank in the Wing Cavalry Regiment, and both were of noble origin. Once backed down, it would be tantamount to confessing that oneself is inferior to the other party, which is a major event that would put the family crest to shame.

The last two people actually quarreled.

"Okay." Seeing that the duel hadn't started yet, Walter actually started arguing on his side. Unbearable, he had to make a ruling himself: "Simon, you go."

"Why let him go!" Seeing Walter appointed Simon to fight Fatima, Kristov said unconvincingly.

"There is no reason! I am your chief, you just obey the order." Walter yelled at Krzysztof.

Obviously, Walter is still very prestigious in the military. Kristov lost his temper at all when he yelled at him like this. He grabbed his fluffy blond hair angrily and stood there again.

Simon took off the flail and competed with Fatima as he wished.

Fatima squatted down, lowering her body as much as possible to hide her whole body behind the shield. Her sharp eyes watched Simon's every move through the edge of the steel shield.

As the opponent, Simon will flail like a windmill. He moved in small steps, looking for the most suitable attack angle and distance. But Fatima defended like a tortoise indented in its shell, and she never gave Simon any chance to get out of the phone.

It's not a way to stay in a stalemate like this. Simon yelled, then flailed out the flail. With this blow, he didn't ask for merit, but only asked for directions.

The flail's head hit the exact center of the steel shield, making a muffled noise.

Before Fatima was about to launch a counterattack, Simon retracted the flail, then jumped back and jumped out of Fatima's counterattack range.

Only in the first round, Simon was keenly aware of Fatima's difficulty.

He hit the head of the flail towards the edge of the steel shield, the purpose is to make the flail can cross the steel shield and hit Fatima behind. But Fatima accurately raised the steel shield and aligned the center of the steel shield with the flail that was hitting down, so that the flail's attack was completely blocked by the shield.

After that, Simon used flail to launch several attacks, but without exception, Fatima blocked them. But Fatima's several counterattacks left Simon in danger. In the most dangerous time, Fatima's scimitar even left a shallow mark on Simon's wing cavalry's chain armor coat.

Obviously, Fatima has gradually begun to take advantage. Facing an unfavorable situation, Simon had to change his tactics.

He turned the original smash into a sweep, and put the main target of the strike on the lower body that Fatima's eyesight could not reach.

This trick really worked. Due to the limitation of arm length, the circular steel shield in Fatima's hand cannot protect her thighs and calves well.

On several occasions, Simon's flail almost hit Fatima. It's just that Fatima's machete blocked the short part of the flail in time and did not cause any damage to Fatima.

After all, the tactics proved to be effective. As soon as the tactics were effective, Simon continued to do the same.

After another dangerously flying short shot of the flail, Fatima changed her posture. She stood up straight, put down the steel shield, then pointed the point of the scimitar diagonally at the ground and closed her eyes.

This is a meditation technique given to her by Fatima's assassin teacher in the Ottoman court. It is a combat technique that captures the opponent's actions not by the eyes but by the induction of the body.

Although I don't know what Fatima is doing, Simon will not let go of such a good opportunity. He swung the flail as fast as it could, and then slammed it in the direction of Fatima's empty hands.

When the flail broke the wind, Fatima said that the scimitar in her right hand was changed to her left hand among the sparks. A blade of light flashed, and the Damascus scimitar accurately hit the chain position of the flail.

Like a hot knife cutting butter, the Damascus scimitar cut the iron chain and split the flail into two.
