Chapter 103 Start again
Ladislaus and the "Half-Sword" mercenaries advanced westward, then turned south, and then eastward around to the rear of the rebels.
The battle zone where hundreds of people gathered was not long to begin with, and the astonishingly rapid dispersion of the Roman soldiers caused the battle line to quickly move westward. In less than ten minutes, Ladislaus led the cavalry to the rear of the civilian group.
Although they were encouraged by Gulamba, these civilians still had no military literacy.
They stopped pursuing the Roman soldiers until Ladislas' troops fully pointed their weapons at them again.
However, although this group of civilians, who were disorganized and had no superior or subordinate structure, were aware of the threat of the cavalry, it was impossible for them to make any useful response.
After Ladislaus confirmed that he was in place, he raised his arms and reorganized the cavalry assault formation.
When he quickly drew his arm, more than 250 cavalrymen rushed towards the civilians.
The Reinhardts were aware of the situation from the moment the peasants rioted, and how to deal with it.
They had differences. Although Mrs. Reinhardt believed that these civilians who were encouraged by Gulamba should be rescued based on her faith, Knight Reinhardt was hesitant.
Although the Reinhardt knights who received the gift of Gulamba are powerful, it is still very dangerous to face the elite cavalry on the ground. Although an old mage was beheaded with a sword, the truly powerful spellcaster on the other side was still alive.
Just as the Roman soldiers of Ladislaus lost confidence, Knight Reinhard no longer had any trust in his own militia.
If you enter the plains, you will have to rely on a dozen family warriors to fight against the powerful cavalry.
The result of being defeated by the cavalry on the plains was annihilation. This risk made Knight Reinhardt dare not act rashly.
When Ladislaus resolutely gave up the Roman infantry and began to direct the cavalry to maneuver, Mrs. Reinhardt realized the danger of the situation. She knelt on the dirty ground again and begged for her own money for the sake of these civilians who were not her people at all.
The gracious husband even shed tears: "Please save these poor farmers, they are no match for the cavalry."
"Madam, what are you doing? Get up quickly." Although Knight Reinhard wanted to help his wife up, he found that he couldn't. He had to continue to persuade, "These civilian husbands are not our subjects in the first place. We have no
It is our duty to protect them. And they just piled dirt together to attack our castle."
"But they were forced to do this, and because of my prayers, the Lord of the Earth sent divine grace to encourage them to resist. Please save these poor people. Now you have the Lord of the Earth
If you pay special attention, you will definitely return in triumph."
Knight Reinhard looked at his tearful wife and felt shaken. If he could severely damage Ladislaus's army and reorganize some civilians into the army, he might take advantage of the opportunity of this war to rise up.
Establish a large sphere of influence, and at worst, you can rely on the prestige of this battle to become a powerful mercenary leader.
Moreover, these civilians who need shelter are themselves a huge resource, which can greatly enrich his territory.
This is indeed an opportunity.
He raised his head and looked at his subordinates, wanting to ask for their opinions.
However, each of their subordinates lowered their heads and avoided their master's temptation. Although the effects of Stoneskin on their bodies still continued to be incredible, they had lost too many colleagues today, and even the most powerful ones second only to the Reinhardt Knights
dead.
If we had continued the pursuit and directly attacked Ladislaus's troops with the civilian husband, it would have been possible to achieve a brilliant victory in one go.
However, after retreating to the castle, their energy was exhausted. After seeing their wife and children again, they now just want to keep the castle.
Looking at his subordinates who did not dare to respond to his gaze, Knight Reinhardt could not make up his mind. After seeing the poor performance of the militia, he realized more and more that the basis of his rule was these warriors from his hometown. The Reinhardt family was
Only a powerful family in the Electorate of Cologne can give a person who has no inheritance
Quan's youngest son has so many powerful subordinates. If they are forcibly ordered to attack, if they win a big victory, they will naturally have enough prestige to compensate for this affection. But if it is just a forced war of attrition, then these loyal and safe people will be lost in the future.
With elite support, how can he survive in this place with a different culture?
Although his wife loved him very much, many locals were not happy with an outsider calling them their master.
Although his abilities on the battlefield are in shambles, he succeeds more than he fails, and all his policies require force to be implemented.
Is it worth taking such a big risk for hundreds of civilians?
After wandering for many years, I finally got this territory and gained some foundation.
All these considerations and considerations led Knight Reinhardt to make the biggest mistake in the war. As the commander of the ancient empire said, "The red knight hates hesitation the most." Yes, compared to recklessness, the goddess of war hates hesitation even more.
While Knight Reinhard hesitated, Ladislaus had already completed maneuvering and regrouping.
Seeing Ladislaus' troops rushing into the scattered formations of the civilians and carrying out a one-sided massacre, Mrs. Reinhardt couldn't help but shed more tears of self-blame.
She was very disappointed with her husband, but in fact it was not just her who was disappointed with Knight Reinhardt.
Ladislaus, who destroyed the civilian uprising, noticed that the light emitted from the "Perfect Cornerstone" began to gradually dissipate and became silent. Not only that, it also lost its once gem-like body and became rough and turned into an ordinary stone.
.
The Lord of the Earth, Gulamba, stopped his gift because Knight Reinhardt refused to support the civilians inspired by him.
In the eyes of the Lord of the Earth, Knight Reinhardt, who had received his gift, did not fully rescue the civilians inspired by him, which was like a betrayal.
When the "Perfect Foundation" no longer glowed, the magical buffs on Knight Reinhardt and his subordinates also disappeared at the same time. Not only that, the magical healing effects just disappeared, and the fatal effects that had just disappeared on several warriors also disappeared.
The wound continued to bleed again and he fell to the ground dead. Knight Reinhardt also vomited blood and could no longer stand still.
Only a few warriors could still fight, but they soon discovered that their death seemed not far away.
Most of the earth-piling work has just been completed and the work has begun again.
