Huo Teng, who had a high altitude advantage, could not allow Schmalun to act recklessly.
"Bring out our Horten cannon!"
Then, the militiamen pushed the improved torsion trebuchet and aimed at the gathered knights.
Seeing this, Shimalun laughed loudly: "What kind of rubbish trebuchet wants to hit our brave rider..."
While talking and laughing, a huge flying stone rushed over and beat a knight's war horse into the shape of minced meat.
The distance is nearly [-] meters, and the continuous hit is still lethal!
You must know that during this period, Western Europe was still using human-drawn traction trebuchets, which had a short attack distance, how much damage they could hit, and how accurate they were.As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people played like this.
In other words, the effect depends on God's will.
However, the torsion trebuchet, using physical concepts, is still an advanced war machine in Western Europe.
The knights were afraid of the trebuchets, and the charge formation they had just assembled fell apart.
In this way, Huo Teng also let go of his authority and let the trebuchet fire freely.
In fact, at this moment, Schmalen's army is still quite strong compared to Huo Teng.They were more numerous and more powerful, surrounding Huo Teng's army all over the mountains and plains.
However, due to the factors of grassroots command, army morale and war machinery, they have an advantage, but they cannot realize it.This advantage even gradually faded with the gradual exhaustion of the army and the death of grassroots knights.
There are trebuchets on the mountain, archers on the mountainside, and horse refusal posts at the foot of the mountain. Schmalun's army is facing three layers of resistance, but there is no way to solve one of them.
The knights and the robber knights were dissatisfied with each other.
So at noon, more than 100 people were found dead, and after no progress was made, the conflict between the two sides broke out completely.
At the meeting, the orthodox knights accused the bandit knight camp as a bunch of waste, and the old, weak, sick and disabled fronts couldn't get through.
The bandit knights, like Henrik and Jeffrey, were also accumulating insiders, accusing the orthodox knights of being more useless, and they were clearly unable to break into Wagner's defensive line even though they had the advantage in numbers and equipment.
Jeffrey used to be a well-known bandit knight with a bad mouth, so he slapped the table and shouted: "We are all here to work hard, why do you guys hide behind and watch?"
This aroused the emotions of the robber knights.If it weren't for Schmalen's promise to them that he would distribute the territory after defeating the enemy, who would take his men to work for him for free?
This is why Schmaelen had to claim that the redistribution of the Göttingen county fief was concentrated after the war.Otherwise he would not have enough resources to reassure people.
"We almost defeated the enemy's right wing!" The orthodox knights fought back one after another.
"Don't be noisy!"
Shimalun showed his courage and stopped the confrontation between the two factions.
"What about the halflings? Let them send out their domesticated war beasts!"
That's right, Schmallen bought a bunch of wandering halflings.Halflings, unlike greenskins, are the normal orderly alignment.They like to cook and travel, and they are also good at herding, so they can cultivate powerful war beasts.
Soon, a group of noisy little people joined the battle.
In the afternoon, the two sides continued to fight.
"Fuck me, what is this?" Huo Teng was dumbfounded.
I saw a big wild boar as huge as a house and wearing armor appeared in Shimalun's army!
"Go, Boar King!" Schmalen enjoyed the surprised eyes of the knights in high spirits.
In this era, there are not only green-skinned orcs, but also giant war beasts. I heard that there are flying pegasus in the Alps, and Huo Teng like a leopard. How could he know these winning methods?
Shimalun is sure that as long as the wild boar king rushes up, the battle will be better!
Chapter 41 Annihilation
Horten was startled.
It was only when Huo Teng saw the huge war beast that he remembered that this was a slightly magical world.
In addition to greenskins, there are various other races.
It can be seen with the naked eye that Huo Teng's army still retained a strong will to fight at noon. When they saw the appearance of a huge wild boar, they immediately fell back. Many farmers who had never traveled far in their lives were scared to pee on the spot.
"Quickly, aim our trebuchet at that pig!" Even Huo Teng himself lost his sense of proportion.
The trebuchet cast two rounds, and the stone had no effect at all except to kill a few small dwarfs.On the contrary, the halflings were eager to avenge their companions, and hurried to drive the wild boar forward.
At this time, the Flash Knight Jones got on his horse, gritted his teeth and said, "Give me the peasant archers and cavalry, and I will take them to harass the wild boar and try to lure the wild boar into the woods. A wild boar that loses its way can easily get out of control."
That's not a bad idea.But how could Huo Teng allow Jones to risk his life?
"Come down for me. It's just a big wild boar. It's just bigger and more aggressive. I don't believe there is no way to counter it?"
Huo Teng returned to the battle situation, thinking about how to deal with the situation.
When the Boar King enters the battlefield, the ranger with the longest range will attack him.But the thick skin of wild boar rubbed in the forest is not afraid of arrow attacks at all.Of course, the wild boar's instincts made the wild boar start to be impetuous. After the eyes, mouth and other vulnerable parts were attacked, the wild boar king's temper became uncontrollable.
"Hahaha, did you see that? How can a leopard command an army? He has no knowledge at all, and he loses his sense of control when he sees the wild boar king." Shimalun, who didn't see the change in the wild boar, was still happy for himself.
I ate so much gas in the morning, and now I can vent it all in one breath.
Huo Teng's army could still hold their ground, but every time the Wild Boar King approached a battlefield, Huo Teng's army's morale would fluctuate, causing the local Schmalen's army to attack aggressively, causing Huo Teng's army to injure many people.
The halfling seemed to be used to this routine, so he drove the wild boar king around the battlefield, intimidating Huo Teng's army, and at the same time kept the wild boar king from participating in the battle, so as to minimize the possibility of the wild boar king being injured.
"I can't be prostituted for nothing like this anymore." Widow Amelia suggested, "Organize the spear regiment, and more than 100 people rush up. With so many spears, I don't believe that the big wild boar can't be killed."
The spear was considered the most commonly used weapon by nobles in the Middle Ages when hunting wild boars.
Huo Teng still shook his head.
"Think about it, our most important backbone rushed out like this, didn't it deliver food to Schmalen? Without the long-range cover, these farmers can't last much longer."
As a result, the constant anxiety on the battlefield exhausted the energy of both armies.
When Shimalun's army failed to attack, they sent the Wild Boar King to threaten them, which made Huo Teng's army fluctuate and took the opportunity to make progress.The Huo Teng army sent trebuchets and archers to fight back. The two sides fought fiercely for a whole day, leaving each other with nearly one or two hundred corpses. It can be said that the loss was very heavy.
There are even some families of knights who are directly unprecedented on the battlefield.In terms of tragedy, this is undoubtedly the most brutal battle of the Grand Duchy of Lorraine in recent years.
In the evening, Huo Teng picked a time to finish his meal with grass roots in his mouth, and came to the tents of each military camp.
"It's really hard for you today. I counted the heads, who went to heaven?" Huo Teng said, and would stuff a handful of silver coins into the vacant bed.Huo Teng even took the village wizard with him to heal the wounds of the injured militiamen.
Although the surrounding farmers didn't know how to express it, they had never seen such a generous commander who cared about human life.The morale lost during the day has also recovered a lot.
While Huo Teng was calming down the morale, he suddenly discovered that the witch doctor was hiding a small jar when he was treating the militiamen.
Huo Teng asked him to take it down, but he was still timid and unwilling.
It wasn't until the guard snatched it away that it was precious honey.
In an instant, Huo Teng realized.
"Go find honey, or pine branches, make soup or something, the bigger the taste, the better." Huo Teng immediately ordered in surprise.
After eating, Huo Teng deliberately gathered everyone in the school grounds.
"I have found a good way to eliminate the wild boar king!" Huo Teng openly and honestly revealed his original intention, which raised the morale of the whole army again.
"We will adjust our position tomorrow. Baron Kenan's position will retreat again and stand at the edge of the forest. The enemy will definitely think that we are out of touch, and send the Wild Boar King to attack and split up to eat Baron Kenan. At this time, I will spread honey , the fragrance of pine branches, lured the wild boar king into the forest, and then used my big axemen to swarm up and cut off the wild boar's feet!" Huo Teng clenched his fists.
But Baron Kennan obviously has a lot of concerns.
Huo Teng hurriedly took the old knight's hand: "I will hand over the armor-piercing longbowman, ranger and big axeman to you!"
This is Huo Teng's most elite troops.Being willing to take out so many chips proved that Huo Teng was really desperate.
Baron Kennan couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
"Anyway, I'm an old bone, and I don't care about the time to go to heaven sooner or later."
……
the next morning.
Shimalun was refreshed to find that Huo Teng's army was seriously out of touch.Baron Kennan stepped back into the jungle.It looked like a mess.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Schmallen forced the halfling to drive the boar king to attack this disconnected place.
In fact, halflings are not happy, because the wild boar king's greatest deterrent power is when it has not yet entered the battlefield.But the knights forced them by force, and they had no choice but to agree.
Sure enough, the huge wild boar rushed over staggeringly.
Horten immediately sent peasant mounted archers to throw honey and pine branches along the path.
The familiar aroma immediately lured the Wild Boar King to a direction that the halfling could not control.
Cowardly halflings dare not go deep into the battlefield.So I watched the wild boar king rush into the green forest with a fierce son.
"It should be all right?" The halflings comforted each other.
But at the edge of the dense forest, when the Wild Boar King was comfortably rubbing back and forth by the pine tree, Baron Kenan immediately ordered an attack.
The ranger's arrows pierced the wild boar's nose, and blood spurted out;This wild boar is very resistant to chopping. It kicked and wounded more than 20 ax soldiers before it was disemboweled and its limbs cut off.Even so, the wild boars still howled and howled loudly.
At this time, the Schmaelen army on the remaining fronts had already pressed across the board.Without the support of the archers, they advanced step by step, making Huo Teng's army unable to lift their heads.
It wasn't until the screams of wild boars came that Huo Teng laughed three times. He saw the timing and organized the mobile knights and peasant cavalry archers together. Hundreds of cavalry rushed down the hill and swept into the left flank of the knights of Schmalen's army. The knights fled in despair!
The huge defeat of losing the wild boar king made the soldiers of Shimalun's army panic. Many robbers mistakenly thought that there were some monsters hidden in the forest, so they turned around and fled without weapons.
A tragedy of morale chain collapse is unfolding.
As a result, both the left and right wings of Schmalun's army were defeated, and Huo Teng had enough cavalry. A fierce defeat was staged under this small hill.
Schmalen's army, the whole army was wiped out!
Chapter 42 The Departure of the Halfling Tribe
In the war era of cold weapons, there is a high probability that the largest casualties in a battle do not come directly from the battle.
When the battlefield is in a stalemate, casualties may be the smallest moment.Once the balance of the battlefield tilts, the defeated party flees in despair, and they who were originally condensed into one heart fall apart, and they will be vigorously hunted down by the victor.In the process of chasing and killing, it is very likely to cause large-scale deaths.
In addition to chasing and killing, massacring prisoners of war who have surrendered, using poisoned plague tactics, etc., these unconventional methods can cause deaths and injuries far greater than those in the stalemate stage of the battlefield.
At this moment, Huo Teng led the cavalry, charging left and right on the battlefield, taking advantage of the chaos of Shimalun's army, which had lost the wild boar king, when its morale collapsed, and achieved the greatest results.
Shimalun's army is strong if it is strong, but it seems that it is like Fu Jian's Southern Expedition Army, which cannot be matched together.
Robber knights only want land and wealth, and it would be better if they could catch slaves and sell them; orthodox knights hope to expand the family territory, gain more honor, and improve the family's appearance.The two sides even have different demands, so how can they be of the same mind?
When the morale of the army collapsed on the battlefield, the bandit knights who had long been accustomed to defeat turned around and ran very skillfully, and ran with their servants and friends, causing the bandit army in front of Baron Kenan to look like a hot knife Butter that cuts and melts at the touch of a button.
Although the orthodox knights laughed at the weakness of the robber knights, and even wanted to blame them for their defeat, these knights were not slow to run.
They have the best horses, turn and flee in one go.The retinues could also take away the rough horses and equipment they brought with them, leaving behind a group of mud-legged people who were at a loss as backers for the master knight.
Schmallen, Earl of Millhouse, could not accept the tragic scene in front of him.
Where is my great boar king?
Where are my mighty knights?
Why did it disappear in an instant?
Schmalen didn't think it was because of his lack of prestige that caused the army to lack mutual trust. He could only blame it on Huo Teng, a mud-legged man who used magic.
He forced the halflings who had just lost the Boar King: "Use your methods to destroy the enemy's witchcraft! Huo Teng must be a wizard, otherwise how could he defeat me?"
Halflings are actually no different from gypsies who live in no fixed place.They had no choice but to ride the huge rooster they domesticated and waved their spears to join the battlefield.
To be honest, this was also the first time that Huo Teng saw a big pheasant that was as tall as a human's thigh.
Huo Teng couldn't help laughing at those little guys riding on chickens and wielding one-meter-long spears.
When the cavalry charged, the fight was about who was long and who was short.Can a halfling riding on a big pheasant withstand Horten's cavalry charge?
joke.The halflings thought so too.So after they left Schmalen's camp, they rode on pheasants and ran out of the camp.That pitiful rooster Iroha is the first flag of shame in Schmallen's clown career.
Earl Millhouse, who had betrayed his relatives, was thinking of running away.
But when he left the marching camp with his guards carrying the precious belongings, Huo Teng was already smiling and standing in front of him.
"I have admired you for a long time." Huo Teng smiled hypocritically, sharpening his sword in his heart.
[Congratulations on being able to upgrade: available skill points 1]
For this upgrade, Huo Teng still chose to put his skills into strategy.Because Huo Teng found that the effect of strategic energy saving is better.He doesn't often attend knight's gatherings, so it's really useless to hone his martial arts.
