prince of europe in quintiles

However, Huo Teng chose a tricky way, which proved that his army was not good enough in quality.

Especially when dividing troops to guard various watchtowers, and abandoning the parapet to build a one-time trap pit, it also shows that Huo Teng wants to rely on small-scale losses to solve this battle that was originally used for acting.

Even in order to reduce the physical loss of the main knights, Huo Teng specially asked the knights to set up camps on the hills outside to ensure mutual support and deterrence against the enemy.

Laziness and trickery, anyway, just want to do big things at a low cost.

This old Chinese habit made Huo Teng almost collapsed in this small paper-like fortress.

The knights of the Cassel family were rampaging in the castle. Those archers who lost their long-range advantage and also lacked armor, spears and shields, although their number was several times that of the enemy, fled in all directions like lambs to be slaughtered.It can be said that Huo Teng almost built himself a tortoise shell, but the tortoise shell is only as thick as a piece of paper.Even though there are countless disposable hedgehog needles hidden under the tortoise shell, the beast covered in needles managed to pry open the turtle shell and the needles with force and skill, and ate the tender meat.

By the way, the turtle shell trapped Huo Teng.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, Huo Teng's own knight troops did not pull their hips.Under the leadership of Geoffrey, more than fifty regular and retinue knights rushed down the hillside, leading their respective attendants and servants to launch an identical crazy charge against the Earl of Cassel's army.

And because of the rush of running, Jeffrey didn't even have time to pick up the lance, so he could only wave his sword and shout to kill.And the kind of buckle that allows the lance to hang on the horse has not yet appeared at this time.

Similar to Earl Tapler's knights smashing Horten's small paper shell, the knights led by Geoffrey also easily crushed the miscellaneous infantry of the Earl of Kassel in a crushing manner, making them He fled on the plains, and had no time to support his own Patriarch.

Thus, Earl Teppler's knights surrounded Horten, Horten's knights surrounded Tepler's infantry, Tepler's infantry ran wildly outside, and Horten couldn't move.

Although the situation of the battle changed rapidly, neither side suffered much damage.

But the biggest problem was that Huo Teng, his attendants, and a group of archers were besieged in the largest small castle.Fortunately, the intersection we entered was only as wide as one person.

At the critical moment, Huo Teng finally showed his martial arts and started a hand-to-hand fight with the enemy knight at the one-person wide gate.

With a strong physique and sufficient nutrition, coupled with the acquired martial arts learning, Huo Teng's knight swordsmanship has the meaning of three tricks and one move. He repeatedly defeated the Kassel knights who came forward to challenge him, leaving the enemy no chance to act for a while.

"This kid is quite difficult to beat."

Earl Tapler, after being dug out of the dead horse pit by his subordinates, is nervously commanding the knights to execute the beheading tactic.

Regardless of the [-] or [-] knights who fell into the big pit, most of them did not die. Only seven knights died on the spot due to various unlucky factors such as landing on their faces. The rest of the injuries were not serious.

At this critical moment, one of Huo Teng's most valuable troops, the rangers, stood up.

These unique hunters, who can shoot arrows from a long distance and attack in close combat, organize death squads from the houses, and start hand-to-hand combat with the knights. On the top of the short began to focus on archery.

Although the shooting at close range like a storm could not withstand Knight He, it also injured them all, and they had to form a group of hedgehogs holding their shields.

At this time, the infantry army of the Earl of Cassel, led by the remaining knights, finally rushed to the castle to respond against the harassment of Horten's knights.Seeing such a situation, Earl Tapler could only evacuate in a hurry with his knights.

And Huo Teng also softened his feet, and said with emotion: "Damn, I almost played myself to death, and I will honestly pull the knights to charge in the future."

The two sides drew a tie.But the casualty ratio is embarrassing.

Huo Teng's loss was not small, dozens of archers and sergeants were either killed or injured.

But Earl Teppler was the real embarrassment.The Cavaliers lost nearly ten of them, and the rest were injured and unable to immediately join the next battle.

The death of infantry sergeants can also be resolved by recruiting refugees and vagrants, but the loss of knights requires a long period of recuperation to recover.The difficulty of cultivating the two is not at the same level.

After the knights of the Earl of Cassel's family experienced this heavy casualty, hatred and fear worked together.

The direct consequence of this is that everyone starts to throw their hands at the mouse.

Earl Tapler camped at the junction of the two counties, while Huo Teng threw away the waste-like fortress, retreated a few miles, and camped on a ridge.

"What this battle has taught me is never to underestimate the major trends of the times."

Huo Teng began to reflect on himself in the draw with nothing, neither promotion nor spoils.

This is the first time he has fought with zero income, and he even has to pay for funeral expenses to give pensions to the sergeants and archers.

The knight's charge is awesome, so don't be self-righteous and think that if you find any countermeasures, you can make a fresh move.

The most important thing is to do a good job of basic skills.

In the following half a month, the Cassel Army and the Huo Teng Army, separated by a national border, guarded against each other under the same banner.There was no major war, and each declared victory to the country.But people with a discerning eye can see that there is probably no follow-up to this war.

……

Nancy City, the real capital of the Grand Duchy of Upper Lorraine.

"Okay, good way."

A plainly dressed middle-aged man in white was riding a horse and flicked the letter in his hand. I don't know if it was a doubt or a strange tone, but there was always something wrong with the tone.

He has a broad forehead and a well-kept face, which is very well maintained and impressive at first sight.

The surrounding aristocratic subordinates all felt that the Wardrobe Manager who was in charge of the country's government affairs was really angry.His sister, on the contrary, was the first to break Adler's plan, and was the first to tear herself apart.

"I thought that my sister would understand her situation after defeating her restless brother, but I was wrong. She is still dreaming of ruling Göttingen, and she doesn't even think about it. How much will it cost her to safely withdraw to Nancy?!" Adler tore up the letters one by one, and said coldly:

"Göttingen, you won't survive this winter!"

Chapter 66 The Reality of Desperation

Making a choice means giving up and paying a price.

Adler finally decided to give up his sister as a bargaining chip and try to stabilize his own career first.

Originally, he discussed with Andreas to ask the latter to bring his sister back, but it is a pity that this idiot wants to run the Göttingen Abbey as a business.

As far as the border between Göttingen and Kassel, Horten, surrounded by the three principalities of Upper Lorraine on the west, Franconia on the south, and Saxony on the north, chose to continue to fight against the Earl of Kassel .

Pay the price of possible defeat.

"Oriental military experts have said that as a general, one should not go to war out of anger. Earl Tapler just got on his horse in a hurry after being teased by us. It's really funny." Huo Teng rode on the horse, proudly speaking with his subordinates They chatted.

In fact, Huo Teng once again raised his reputation.

Prior to this, he had gradually accumulated his unique identity and reputation as a war priest in the battle of Gaogang, the one-on-one battle at the entrance of Bowendeng village, the battle against the bandits, and the decisive battle with Shimalun at the highlight moment.There are many generals who can fight, but how many priests are there who can fight?

However, the step-by-step escalation of these opponents also made the surrounding forces gradually lower their expectations for Huo Teng.

On the one hand, Huo Teng's opponents are increasing, but his record is becoming more and more mediocre.Of course, there are factors that make the opponent difficult to deal with, but the expectation of Huo Teng makes this abnormal comparison the norm. When Huo Teng fights a good fight, they will find fault with it instead.

On the other hand, the more Huo Teng played for Conosha, the less likely they were to expect Huo Teng, and this attitude would gradually turn into hostility.

But under such a major premise, Huo Teng actually stopped Earl Tapler's invasion at the border only by relying on the strength of his own barony. This unequal combat power comparison made Huo Teng once again win more with less.Let the surrounding counties refresh their views on him.

However, even with a streak of victories, since his debut, he has almost lost only this time, which is fragile in front of bloodline and level.

For those high-ranking and noble families with little ability, their children enjoy the highest glory and status as soon as they are born.For a low-level knight like Huo Teng who worked hard step by step by himself, the future has already been written in the book of hell.

In the Middle Ages, there was also a period of rapid class mobility and rising and changing channels.

That is the general decline of the Carolingian dynasty, after the continuous invasion of various Arab forces, it gradually woke up from the beatings in the last century.At that time, if you could organize civilian fighters to expel Muslim pirates and establish a base, then an earl and duke would be indispensable.

If you can help His Majesty the 'Holy' Roman Emperor expel the invading Magyar nomads and subdue the Polish tribes in the great war, then the earl and feudal marquis are your choice.If you can serve His Majesty to his satisfaction, it is not impossible for him to appoint you Duke.The current Duke of Saxony is so superior.

But not anymore.

Most of the territories have completed the division of feudal obligations, priests taught everyone to indulge in belief and self-narcotics, and the newly expanded productivity will soon be divided up by the rentier class.

If Huo Teng wants to get ahead, he has to work harder.

...Four days later...

There has been a standoff at the border for almost a month, and the time has come to more than September.

War is not something that can be fought easily.

In front of the station, it is necessary to motivate, investigate, and work hard, so that the soldiers can breathe a sigh of relief; after the war, it is necessary to provide compensation, relief, and encouragement, so that the soldiers will not be arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat.A general who can make soldiers hold back their desire not to plunder after a victory, and encourages soldiers to continue fighting after a defeat, is simply at the level of a god general.

As for the Cassel family, thanks to the blood relative necklace, the knights can still hold their breath.

Having said that, after Earl Tapler was dug out from the pile of horse corpses, he also fell into a low ebb.

Their family lost nearly ten knights, in addition to twenty or thirty precious war horses.Such a huge loss is even more severe than Huo Teng paying thousands of gold coins and re-concluding the feudal contract.

The bigger loss was that Earl Tapler's reputation as a warrior for half his life was lost in the battle.

For a time, he didn't even dare to turn around to meet the visiting nobles, in order to prevent his cowardice from being discovered by the other party.Teppler regretted so much, regretted that he went to the battlefield blindly and hastily, and his helpless and frantic charge caused heavy damage to the knight.In this battle, he almost never made a move right.

Baron Orinte took the initiative to come to see Earl Tapler on this day.

"My lord, we can't go on like this. We didn't get any food in summer, and we don't know how many people will die in winter. Why don't we...Huo Teng and I challenge each other, I want to see who is stronger!" Baron Orinte, as the fuse that led to this senseless war, he chose to take the initiative to take responsibility.

Tepler is not afraid of duels, he is afraid of being defeated again: "Are you... sure? Huo Teng killed Howard, the descendant of the Vikings, who organized the rebellion in the duel."

Olinte clenched his fist swearingly, saying that he would never fail.

The head of the family believed it was true and agreed.

Therefore, Orinte sent his servants to come to Huo Teng's camp on his own initiative and invited Huo Teng to fight.

And Huo Teng, of course, is not stupid.

Head-to-head with a knight who has been trained since childhood, winning or losing can be done in an instant.

And Huo Teng has to maintain a victorious personality, how can he fight with Orinte?

When he was about to refuse, the former bandit knight Henrik, who was keenly aware of Huo Teng's thoughts, proposed to help Huo Teng win in the battle of Millhouse, "Why don't you ride a fast spirit?"

"Yup!"

Huo Teng immediately punched.

The quick spirit offered by the halfling is a half-half griffin.Although as a lion with only two claws, it is far less powerful than a genuine griffin, but it is more than enough to deal with a herbivorous war horse.

It is quite similar to the former carnivorous overlord of South America, the descendant of the dinosaur, the terror bird, otherwise how can it be regarded as a giant war beast?

So, Huo Teng immediately agreed.

The next day, the two armies, who could no longer bear the exhaustion of the long-term confrontation, surrounded a gladiatorial arena with a relieved mentality.

Baron Orlint appeared in full armor, with a horse draped in thick felt cloth, and a stout and heroic knight in thick chain mail walked around the field, receiving sparse cheers from the Kassel army.

Huo Teng, on the other hand, was not as luxurious and luxurious as Orinte in terms of armor. He only had a set of not-so-thick chain mail, but his mount attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared on the stage.

A huge monster taller than a horse.The head is like a griffin, but the body is strong and thick, and the legs are as thick and powerful as the arms of an excavator. It is half and half a griffin, fast.

Kuailing's IQ is also very high. It seems to know that Huo Teng is its master. It has a mild temper and drives Huo Teng around the field, receiving countless fanatical calls.

Seeing the appearance of Kuai Ling, everyone already knew the result of the gladiatorial fight.

Huo Teng must win!

The enemy obviously also knew that it was impossible to beat Huo Teng in a one-on-one fight.

All Earl Teppler hurriedly asked his subordinates to hold Olint back.

He looked at the flamboyant Huo Teng, his hair was pale and dull.

"We withdraw, we lost this battle..."

To lose is to lose.

This was something Earl Tepler didn't bother to cover up for himself.

He admitted that he lacked detection of Huo Teng.

Neither his commanding abilities were anticipated, nor was he hiding a war beast.

The gap between people is really bigger than that between people and horses.

Wanting to take advantage of it, but unexpectedly, Earl Teppler fled back to the Earl of Kassel with his relatives in such a desperate manner.

Huo Teng, who won without a fight, did not launch a fatal pursuit in accordance with the traditional virtues of the nobility, but just retreated back to Göttingen County in the same way.After all, it is already more than September, and there are already signs of cold winter, so many farmers have begun to put on the most expensive thick winter clothes at home.

The war lasted for a month, and Huo Teng also exhausted his mobilization time for his subjects this year.

Everyone is eager to go home as soon as possible.

I'm tired and don't want to fight.

Already in tears, I haven't seen my wife for a long time.

Even the fighters recruited in the system have their own backgrounds in this world.They have relatives and friends, and have their own emotions.

Huo Teng also noticed that as the soldiers of the system became more and more integrated into the times, they gradually began to seem resistant to long-term combat, and hoped to resume production as soon as possible and return home.

After defeating Earl Tapler, there should have been a generous reward.

But before Huo Teng had time to confirm what the reward was, he quickly received a tip from the rear.

Countess Conosha asked Horten to return to Göttingenburg urgently.

If you go late, Connorsa will die!
