Chapter 115 The mediocre knight who was deceived(1/2)
After looking at the approaching fire, the lord made a quick decision and asked Klose to pick up the package and run away quickly.
Before leaving, he looked at the knight named Morgan who was lying on the ground and simply asked Summer to fight this guy away. This guy probably knew something about the inside story and could probably provide some information.
The Mettenheimers were too big and conspicuous, so Li Ang asked them to carry two of them and run away first. He drew out the black gryphon sword and observed it while cutting it off in the woods.
The female soldiers arrived very quickly. They seemed to have strict management of the surrounding camps and had already started searching everywhere.
Before they noticed their small team, the lord quickly fled into the woods.
If he wanted to leave the camp, he only needed to run about three hundred meters, but he couldn't run too fast in the dark woods, and before he had run far, Li Ang heard a noise behind him.
They must have found that Li Ang's tent was empty.
Through the gaps in the tree trunks, you could vaguely see a bright light chasing after them. Li Ang's small team quickly passed through the woods, but as soon as they left the woods, they saw firelight from the side.
Those were a dozen cavalrymen patrolling the outermost part of the entire camping area, all of them were bringers of misfortune!
They were holding torches a few hundred meters away, coming towards the direction where the lord was escaping.
Obviously, they probably noticed something unusual in the camp, and they should have seen the people of Mettenheim running away - Klose was carrying an extra-large package, and Summer was carrying someone. As long as they were seen
, everyone can see that there is something wrong with this group of people.
"Kill them!"
These bringers of misfortune seemed to be ruthless characters. They didn't even ask a question, they just rushed over with shouts of death.
Of course, Lord Lord, you have to run quickly. This is next to the enemy's camp. It is estimated that a large number of enemies will be surrounding you in less than two minutes.
Although a two-legged man obviously cannot outrun a four-legged horse, as long as he runs two miles, the situation will be much better.
The people of the Knights of Owls met at a rocky beach nearly a thousand meters away, where the camp of the Prophet Legion could be observed from a distance, and the little mare Alice was also there.
Night owls are really good at choosing places. The rocky beach is not far from the Aire River, where they can hide and escape easily. They even prepared a small boat by the river...
Being able to survive for so many years as an illegal knighthood in the continent of Pendor without becoming a bandit villain, the night owl team of Ors is indeed quite good in many aspects.
However, when they ran less than 500 meters away from the rocky beach, Lord Lord's small team was still overtaken.
The Doombringer's horses are quite fast, and they are all light cavalry.
Moreover, arrows have been shot from behind - these women are all mounted archers!
I can't run away any more. This area is full of wasteland. I'm being watched by the cavalry archers, so it's very difficult to escape.
Fortunately, there are only a dozen enemies behind him right now.
"Samer! You take the others and go first! Let my Alice come over! Klose, follow me!"
Li Ang stopped, turned around to face the nearest pursuer of misfortune, and cut off an incoming arrow with one sword.
Klose threw the package towards Sammer, turned around and drew his sword, leading the other Mettenheimers to stand in a row behind Leon, with the sword pointed at the pursuing enemy.
Sammer was dragging a person with one hand and still running very fast. That is to say, the Mettenheimer has such a physique, but other people really can't have this ability.
Even on the plains, the great swordsmen of Mettenheim can actually fight against a considerable number of cavalry, and their great swords are enough to kill horses.
But the problem is that such a head-on confrontation can easily cause heavy casualties, and the Lord is actually unwilling to do so.
However, judging from the current situation, if we cannot defeat these pursuers within a minute or two, we may be surrounded by a large number of enemies.
The people chasing you are all cavalry. If you are entangled, it will be difficult to escape.
Everything was going smoothly at first, but who made that perverted knight named ‘Morgan’ so clingy...
According to Klose's experience, these women's fighting power is probably quite strong and they may not be able to be eliminated in a short time.
But now, I can only give it a try.
When there are other ways, Li Ang will definitely try his best to use his brain to solve the problem.
But when there is no way to retreat, the lord will not lack the courage to fight to the death - it is because he is afraid of death that he has to fight hard, and he will not die if he kills the enemy!
This is what Charles said at the beginning, and the Lord feels that it is right.
Li Ang leaned down and launched a countercharge against the chasing enemy!
Klose and the others also rushed over in the opposite direction, because those doom-inducing ones were shooting arrows, and they could only serve as targets if they stood still or continued running.
"Brothers! Cut off their horses!"
The lord's steps were quite flexible, and he did not carry a shield, but the snake-like maneuver of lowering his body allowed him to avoid all the arrows, and within two or three seconds he was in head-on contact with the fastest pursuing enemy.
Li Ang dodged like a thief to the left side of the doom-inducing person - the woman was holding a shield in her left hand and a wing hammer in her right hand.
Then, a sword attached to his lower body directly cut off the legs of the fast running horse.
The horse neighed shrilly and fell to the ground.
The bringer of misfortune was thrown away and obviously fell hard, but he still got up quickly and seemed to be quite resistant to the beating.
But as soon as she got up and before she could stand firmly, Klose, who rushed after Li Ang, chopped off her head with a sword.
No matter how superb your skills are, in a real battlefield it is just a matter of one sword!
Then, more than a dozen cavalrymen and ten fierce infantry warriors began to charge head-on like needles against wheat.
The Mettenheimers charged very wildly. They would hold their swords in front of their chests and swing them from side to side to protect their chest, abdomen and heads - this way they could block some of the incoming arrows while running with big strides.
Gotta go fast.
This kind of running method is difficult for ordinary people to learn, because the hands and feet are basically doing their own thing in this movement, and it requires strong wrist strength and endurance.
But the effect was still good. Most of the oncoming arrows were blocked by the rapidly swinging sword in front of them, and the strider's countercharge allowed them to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the rapidly pursuing enemies in the shortest possible time.
The second before they were about to make contact, all the doom-bringers dropped their bows and replaced them with shields and hammers.
Fortunately, fortunately, they all use one-handed shield hammers instead of lances.
Fortunately, they don't seem to have the battle discipline of the regular army - otherwise the Mettenheimers would definitely suffer heavy losses in such a fight.
The strong man of Mettenheim is not a lightly-armed warrior like Li Ang. Except for Klose, others do not have such flexible steps.
If there was a lance charge coming in formation, such as a group of five or ten people charging in a row, it would be difficult for the Mettenheimers' huge bodies to avoid all the lance thrusts.
Even if they used shields and hammers instead of lances, and kept the formation in a row for a cavalry charge, the Mettenheimers could still suffer heavy losses due to the impact of the horses.
But these doom-bringers seem to like to fight alone, and they are all light cavalry and use one-handed weapons-this makes them drive their horses to pass by the Mettenheimers so that the hammer in their right hand can
Attack with horse speed.
This is in line with the wishes of the people of Mettenheim - their two-handed swords are one meter seventy long, much longer than the one-handed hammer of the Doombringer!
Moreover, it is quite easy to slash from the side!
They only need to step sideways to get directly in front of the horse, and then use the speed of the opponent's horse to slash past them first!
After all, the Lord's order is to kill horses, and the target is so big...
Having a weapon that is longer than your opponent has the advantage of being able to hit your opponent first in hand-to-hand combat, or to prevent your opponent from attacking you.
So, just after a wave of frontal charges, half of these misfortune inducers were lost.
To be precise, half of their horses were lost.
Six or seven horses were chopped down to the ground, and several Doombringers fell off their horses and rolled on the ground, but they did not make any sound of pain, seemed to have no pain, and quickly turned over and got up.
Fortunately, it was a horse that was being chopped down. If it was a human being, I might not be able to deal with them for a while.
Only one of the Mettenheimers was injured. He was not walking fast enough and was knocked down by a horse.
Only one of the doom-bringers was chopped into two pieces, and her upper body fell to the ground with blood. After the horse carried half of the body and ran far away, her lower body slowly slipped off the horse.
This was Klose's doing. After he had just dealt with the doom-bringer who fell from his horse, he faced the enemies coming one after another. He didn't have time to sheath his sword in a hurry. So he simply followed the sword and turned around.
A series of slashes, taking advantage of the enemy's horse momentum to cut them off in two.
The other five or six enemies relatively behind were blocked by the fallen horse corpses in front. Two of them ran away and two lost their speed.
Only one doom-inducing person rushed towards Li Ang.
However, the lord nimbly dodged to her left again, rolled around on the ground, and then slashed at the horse's legs with his sword - this combat method was called the "Di Fang Dao" in the Celestial Dynasty, and it was originally designed to chop off the legs.
of.
The horse fell down at the sound, its whine heartbreaking.
There is no way, although this approach is very unfair to the horses, these horses must be killed.
However, Li Ang felt that after losing their horses, these women became more effective in fighting...
But it doesn't matter, the original intention was not to kill them all, and it was unrealistic to kill them all in a minute or two.
As long as they can lose their horses.
The few remaining Doombringers who were still on horseback turned around and charged again, but they still didn't learn their lesson - as a result, the charge directly destroyed their remaining horses.
It seems that they don't have much tactical awareness - maybe they are very good at playing with men's minds, maybe their individual combat capabilities are remarkable, but they are not a real army after all.
The enemy camp a few hundred meters away was lit up with more and more firelights, and it seemed that many people were already heading in this direction.
The doom-bringers who fell from their horses also surrounded them reluctantly, shouting "Kill them".
But the enemy had already lost their horses, so there was no need for Li Ang to continue fighting. He waved his sword and forced back the two enemies around him, shouting: "Run!"
To be continued...
