In the middle of the valley at the mouth of the trumpet, hearing the fierce fighting in front, Nalant and others couldn't help but speed up their pace.
Quickly passing through the dense forest ahead, the scene in the valley came into view.
After seeing the scene in the valley clearly, Nalant and his party all showed shocked expressions.
Because the fighting situation in this valley is so tragic!
I saw that out of the original more than 1,500 people in the Agate Principality, only about a thousand people were left.
These more than 1,000 people were besieged in a mountain col by nearly 2,000 cavalrymen from the Northern Principality, and were under fierce attack.
Among the more than 2,000 troops in the Northern Principality, the number of direct cavalry has reached nearly 200.
The two hundred direct cavalry were divided into two groups, one group of one hundred people was ready to attack, while the other group led two hundred ordinary cavalry at a time to launch a fierce attack on the Agate Principality.
Every attack would cost the Agate Principality dozens or hundreds of casualties.
At this moment, in front of the Agate Principality, corpses litter the fields and blood flows like rivers.
And among these dead cavalry, basically they were rangers under the counts of the Agate Principality or the king.
Although they were not titled knights, they were not afraid of powerful enemies and defended the outermost perimeter with their flesh and blood. Instead, the heirs of nobles huddled behind the rangers.
Every time the cavalry of the Northern Principality attacked, these rangers used their ordinary flesh and blood to resist the crushing of the direct cavalry.
Whether it was Nalant or Stella, everyone was deeply moved when they saw this scene.
"These bastards, why don't you come forward with the rangers to fight!" Boris's eyes turned red as he cursed the aristocratic children who were huddled behind.
But despite the scolding, he also understood that this was the nobility.
The bodies of nobles are extremely precious, and even without the orders of these young heirs, the rangers would not dare to retreat at all.
Because, if they die in battle and can save a group of noble heirs, then their families will receive very generous pensions.
On the contrary, if they did not die in the battle, but a group of noble heirs died, then even if they could return alive, they would still be convicted and even their families would be implicated.
"This is the real feudalism!" Narant realized for the first time the cruelty of the world's hierarchical system of nobles and lords.
Although there were battles in the past few days, none of them was as big as the impact it brought to Nalant now.
"Narant, is there any way you can help them?" Boris clenched his hands and asked.
Stella also pursed her red lips slightly, looking at Nalant with expectation in her eyes, and there was even a hint of sparkle in her eyes.
"Help, of course I have to help!" Nalant nodded without hesitation. He would definitely not remain indifferent.
He was not doing it for a group of young heirs, but for these brave rangers who were not afraid of death.
Although his action may not be able to change the situation below, it can contain the attack of the Northern Principality to the greatest extent possible.
"Raymond, help the long-range attack team choose a location and set up the bed crossbow as quickly as possible!" Nalant immediately gave the order.
"Yes, sir!"
As a barbarian, Raymond used to have a lot of prejudice against aristocratic civilization.,
Even after surrendering to their lord, they still maintained a little prejudice against other nobles or common people. After all, the hatred of robbing the land could not be forgotten in just a few months.
But when he saw the fearless rangers below, he realized that not everyone in the aristocratic civilization was a despicable robber.
At least those rangers below are respectable warriors.
Soon, Raymond and several barbarians opened two clearings under the shade of the trees, and also adjusted the angle of the clearings so that the ballistae could aim directly at the valley below.
When the crossbow vehicle was set up, several guards from the long-range attack team immediately began loading the crossbow arrows.
"Sir, the crossbow arrows have been loaded!" A moment later, two crossbow arrows of staggering size were loaded.
"Very well, Vivian, you come and operate one of them, preview it for thirty seconds, and try to aim at those direct knights!"
"Yes, sir!"
After hearing this, Vivian immediately came to one of the ballistas and started adjusting.
While Nalant and others were quietly setting up their crossbows, the Rangers of the Northern Principality below began to regroup.
A full 500 people were divided into three rows and slowly marched to a distance of 300 meters from the Agate Principality team, and then they were ready to charge again with murderous intent.
"Royal Knights, target the traitor army of the Agate Principality ahead, charge!"
"kill!"
Under the order of one of the direct cavalry captains, the five hundred Northern Principality cavalry rushed towards the Agate Principality team like a torrent.
"Ranger, for the sake of honor, attack!"
As a cavalryman, during a confrontation, even if you are on the defensive side, you cannot stay still.
Therefore, when the Northern Principality launched a new round of offensive, the Agate Principality also started a counterattack.
The distance between the two sides was not far, and it took only a few breaths for them to accelerate, and then they collided together in the valley.
Bang bang bang!
At the moment when the cavalry from both sides collided, a terrifying dull collision sound was heard.
As light cavalry, the Rangers had no power to resist when faced with the direct cavalry units covered with iron armor.
Just one encounter, and in an instant, dozens of front-row rangers were knocked to the ground, including their horses and men, and then fell under countless iron hooves.
However, even those rangers who were lucky enough not to be hit were not much better, because they would also be unable to avoid the enemy's death scythe.
The cavalry from both sides finally got into a melee and started killing each other with their long swords. For a while, there were shouts of killing in the valley.
Court Ponytail is a Ranger Squad Leader of the Tulip Family.
It has been three years since he joined the Rangers. Although joining the Rangers means being shrouded in horse leather, he has no regrets.
Because after becoming a ranger, his family, which was not originally wealthy, could finally live a prosperous life.
The wife, mother, and three well-behaved children at home can smile brightly every day, and do not have to worry about hunger.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Today, he finally faced the most dangerous disaster since becoming a Ranger.
He knew that he should die in this disaster this time.
But he was not afraid. From the day he became a Ranger, he had actually expected this outcome.
However, before dying in this battle, he was still worried about one thing, and that was whether the noble young men behind him could return safely in the end.
If he can return safely, even if he dies, the earl will give his family a very generous pension for his bravery.
With these pensions, his wife can raise three children.
In this way, he can die without regrets.
But looking at the densely packed enemies all around, Court was very worried, worried that the noble young masters would not be able to escape safely.
In this way, the pension will definitely be reduced, and after his death, his wife and children may start to go hungry soon.
"No, I must kill two more enemies. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will not give up!"
"Go to hell, you usurper bastards!" Court said with red eyes, ruthlessly beheading an ordinary cavalryman from the Northern Principality off his horse.
This was already the third enemy he had killed in this charge, and he lived up to his reputation as a Ranger squad leader.
However, precisely because of his outstanding performance, he was immediately targeted by a cavalryman directly under the Northern Principality.
This direct cavalryman had a high-level bronze level. When he saw this direct cavalryman charging towards him, Court knew that his mission was about to end.
"Kill! For honor!" But Court was not afraid. Since he couldn't escape, he should die in the most heroic way.
I hope that the God of Glory of noble gentlemen will take pity on their wives and children because of their bravery.
With a shout, Court urged his war horse and charged straight towards the direct cavalryman with his long sword waving.
Tap! Tap!
With a few short sounds of horse hooves, the distance between the two sides was getting closer.
"Go to hell!" At the moment when the two sides were about to cross each other, the other party's direct cavalry shouted coldly.
Although Court is brave, unfortunately facing the extraordinary knight, in the face of this absolute power, anger and courage are in vain, and will not bring him miracles.
At the moment they met, before Court's long sword had time to swing down, the long sword of the cavalryman on the opposite side had already slashed towards his neck with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
And the disdain in the eyes of the direct cavalry pierced deeply into Court's heart.
