Chapter 486 Royal Guards VS Chain Armored Heavy Cavalry
Chapter 486 Royal Guards vs. Chain Armored Heavy Cavalry
"It's the Royal Guards." Bonnie, who was next to Roger, couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw this: "Alonso III came here to fight for his life."
After hearing the words of the female knight, Roger also secretly frowned. [] The Royal Guards are the most elite and most powerful army in the kingdom. They are usually only responsible for protecting the safety of the king and will not be involved in such an attack.
City battle. Now that Alonso III actually sent this army out to carry out the task of conquering the castle, it really shows that he has completely lost his patience and just wants to decide the outcome as soon as possible.
Roger's prediction was not wrong. Not long ago, Alonso III had replaced Sutil as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and changed his position to personally command the next battle.
Several days of fighting exhausted Alonso III's patience. In addition to causing a large number of casualties, Sutil did not achieve any results at all, which made the king determined to remove him from his position.
Some aristocratic ministers who were usually at odds with Sutil took the opportunity to speak to the king, requesting Alonso III to strip Sutil of his title for "neglect of duty and delaying the war" and sentence him to death.
However, although Alonso III lost his patience, he did not lose his mind. He just smiled coldly at the requests of these nobles and did not make any response. Alonso III knew very well that Sutil was an important general in the army.
, even if he is removed from his post because he has been unable to attack the castle for a long time, he cannot be punished in any other way. If this is the case, the military generals will feel chilled, and it will not be of any benefit to the kingdom that is currently in a shaky state.
What's more, Alonso III is now personally commanding the battle. If he can't wait to execute Sutil at this time, what if the castle is not captured even under the command of the king himself? So Alonso III thought
It is very clear that what to do with Sutil must wait until the end of the war. Before that, he was still a noble of the kingdom and the commander of the legion, but he was no longer responsible for commanding this battle.
Since Alonso III personally directed the battle, he also knew that he had to produce results as soon as possible, otherwise he would end up like Sutil and be unable to capture the enemy for a long time. There would be no benefit in that.
Now that the war has been going on for most of the day, Alonso III feels that the enemy must be exhausted, and it is the best time to attack the city in one go. In order to eliminate the enemies that threaten his royal power as soon as possible, Alonso III has made a desperate move, at all costs
The Royal Guards, the most elite troops in the kingdom, were sent to attack Roger.
The Royal Guards can also be said to be the pride of the Kingdom of Thorne. Alonso III slowly approached the castle with this army. He felt that defeating Roger was not as difficult as Sutil said. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel worried about what was about to happen.
At the beginning of the battle, he was full of confidence and asked Massa in a low voice: "Do you think my Royal Guards can conquer the castle in one fell swoop?".
As the captain of the palace guard, Massa has been staying by Alonso III's side recently to protect him from harm in such a fierce battle. After listening to the king's words, Massa just remained silent for a while, then shook his head slightly and said:
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I can't make a judgment."
Massa's answer made Alonso III displeased. He snorted and said, "Go and call Viscount Senna to protect me. You have been working hard for several days and you should take a good rest."
After a few seconds of silence in response to Alonso III's order, Massa finally bowed and said: "Yes."
After saying this, Massa left the king without looking back, went directly back to his tent and wrote a letter of resignation. In the letter, Massa claimed that he had been in poor health recently, and that he would continue to take on the important task of protecting the king and stay in the wild.
During the war, he requested to resign as captain of the palace guard and return to Mandos City to recuperate.
Massa asked someone to send this letter to Alonso III, and he went directly back to Mandos City. The meaning of Alonso III's order just now was very clear. He did not need Massa's protection or protection.
He said that he no longer trusted him, but wanted to give up the position of captain of the palace guard to Viscount Seine.
Massa is not a person who is greedy for power. The reason why he loyally protects Alonso III is entirely because of the oath he made. Now that the kingdom no longer trusts Massa, there is no need for him to continue to fulfill his oath.
It is better to leave this battlefield full of killings as soon as possible. Massa hates this civil war in the kingdom from the bottom of his heart, and does not want to really meet Roger on the battlefield. Leaving at this time is undoubtedly the best choice.
One thing Massa didn't expect was that this decision also saved his own life. After a huge change a few days later, almost all life outside the castle was destroyed, but Massa was lucky enough to escape because he had already left.
Pass a tribulation.
When Alonso III received Massa's letter, he just glanced at it casually and threw the parchment to the ground. He just said lightly, "He is sensible, and it saves us having to face each other." King
He has no interest in the former palace guard captain who has lost trust, and at this time, all his attention is focused on the city wall.
The Royal Guards have already begun to attack the castle. These soldiers have stronger strength and equipment than other soldiers. The most important thing is that they are extremely loyal to the king and will not hesitate to die on the battlefield in order to implement the king's will.
Such a team joining the offensive was definitely the biggest crisis Roger had encountered since the beginning of the war. The Royal Guards climbed up the ladder desperately and approached quickly over the city. Even if the comrades in front were killed from high
He was knocked down from the high ladder and fell to the ground far below with a scream. The other Royal Guards soldiers accelerated the pace of their attack. At this time, they had completely disregarded life and death.
Under the desperate attack of the Royal Guards, the soldiers defending the city wall quickly fell into a dilemma. Although they fought bravely and eliminated many enemies, in the end, a few Royal Guards soldiers managed to climb up smoothly.
Climb the city wall. These soldiers immediately spread out their formation to cover the ladder behind them, so that more soldiers can climb the city wall.
After nearly ten days of continuous fighting, one of his men finally climbed onto the city wall. This situation greatly boosted the morale of Alonso III's army. The soldiers burst into loud cheers, as if victory was just around the corner. At this moment, the discussion
Whether it was soldiers from the Royal Guards or soldiers from other armies, they all accelerated the pace of the attack and climbed to the top of the city at a faster speed. The pressure on Roger's side was instantly increased.
The first few soldiers who climbed onto the city wall were still fighting bravely. Although they had many injuries, they still successfully opened up a small area of the city wall for more Royal Guards soldiers to board.
At the top of the city.
The more enemies climb on the city wall, the larger the territory they can control, and at the same time protect more ladders from being attacked by Roger. The consequence of this is that more enemies climb the city wall. Visual inspection
There are already more than a hundred people.
Roger was a little anxious now. If the situation was allowed to develop like this, there was a real possibility that the castle would be breached. Fortunately, as soon as the Royal Guards ascended to the top of the city, Roger mobilized troops from all over the castle.
Come to help defend, reinforcements finally arrived at this time.
The arriving reinforcements attacked the invading enemy without hesitation, and the two sides soon fought together. However, the combat effectiveness of the Royal Guards was no less than that of Roger's soldiers, and now they were facing the enemy with great momentum.
The powerful enemy also fought to the death. In addition, although the city wall was wide, it had a limited area, which was not conducive to Roger's numerical advantage, so the two sides fought to no avail.
This is not good news for Roger, because the enemy troops under the city wall take this opportunity to climb up one after another, posing an increasing threat to him.
"We can't go on like this." This thought flashed through Roger's mind, and he quickly made a bold decision.
Roger's eyes fell on the wilderness outside the castle, where several enemy troops were howling and rushing towards the castle. All the enemies were inspired by the Royal Guards and rushed to board the castle. In this case,
Naturally, they didn't bother to form a neat formation. Maybe this situation wouldn't be a big deal in other places, but in Roger's eyes, it was a fatal mistake.
With a thought from Roger, a group of two thousand heavy cavalry appeared in the wilderness. As soon as they appeared, they divided into four groups, then urged the horses to accelerate and charge.
At first, the soldiers under Alonso III did not understand the situation. Many people thought that these cavalry were their own. After all, Roger's castle was heavily besieged. In this case, which commander would open the gate to let
Where is the cavalry leaving the city?
But Alonso III's soldiers soon discovered to their horror that these cavalrymen falling from the sky were actually enemies.
When the heavy cavalry launches a fearsome charge, they can crush all the enemies on the road into powder. If the infantry wants to compete with the charging heavy cavalry, the only way is to form a tight formation and rely on their numbers.
advantage to weaken the impact of the cavalry, and ultimately achieve the goal of defeating them.
However, at this time, Alonso III's soldiers were busy charging. Their formations were spread out like sheep grazing on the hillside, unable to stop the charging heavy cavalry. Several soldiers were carried away by lances and chopped down by long swords.
He died, being hit and trampled to death by the galloping horses. For a moment, the only thing he could do was
The first reaction was to drop their weapons and run away. Even the soldiers of the Royal Guards were helpless when facing the heavy cavalry. Although they would fight to the death with the enemy, they could not resist the galloping horses and were turned into a beast without any suspense.
All corpses.
Roger found that his tactics were unexpectedly successful, so he naturally summoned more chain-armored heavy cavalry into the battle without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, dozens of teams of cavalry consisting of 500 people were active in the wilderness outside the castle.
The team, charging back and forth to intercept Alonso III's soldiers, quickly turned the tide of the battle back to Roger's favor.
