Chapter 913: Knights Templar!
The fleur-de-lis emblem banner of the French royal family was hunting, and the 80,000 French Kingdom troops set up a formation on the plain at the exit of the mountain road to meet the attacking Liu Bei's army.
Paladin Roland leads a small group of broken French knights to join King Louis.
Roland gave a knightly salute: "The minister lived up to His Majesty's expectations and successfully delayed the enemy army." β
"A third-ranked lord of the Han Empire also dares to chase us. If it weren't for the fact that the original second and third lords of the Han Empire were defeated by the first lord, Liu Bei would not have been able to rank third. Do the lords of the world think that we are easy to bully in France? We in France also have a population of 30 or 40 million, which is at least equivalent to the state pastor of the Han Empire. β
Louis, the king of France, fought with Liu Bei, and under the pig tactics of Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Shi Wansui, he lost a number of troops, and under the pressure of Liu Bei, he moved along the mountain road to the other side, but Liu Bei chased after him, thinking that he could completely annihilate Louis.
Liu Bei's army emerged from the mountain road and confronted Louie.
"Strange, why did the French give up space to give us enough time to line up?"
When Chen Xi confronted Liu Beijun and the French Kingdom Army, he had an uneasy premonition.
He looked at Wang Meng, Liu Bei's other military advisor, Wang Meng's expression was similar to Chen Xi's, worried.
If they were Louie, they would either continue to retreat or attack when Liu Bei's army was halfway out of the mountain road, rather than waiting patiently for Liu Bei's army to line up.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei held their weapons and stood proudly against the French army opposite.
Their force, at the very least, guarantees that they will not be captured easily.
"Western civilization, too."
Yang Su joined forces with Liu Bei to repel Louis and pursued all the way, which made him underestimate the Lanxi civilization.
King Lanling took off his hideous mask, and his face was resolute and handsome: "They are qualified to participate in this battle, I'm afraid it's not that simple." β
As the first commander of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Su occupies the imperial commander qualification of the Sui Dynasty, and he does not lack brains, when he listens to what King Lanling said. Put away contempt.
The proudest of the French army is the knights.
On the opposite side, in the Kingdom Army of France, a group of French knights has been assembled, and the fleur-de-lis pattern that can be seen on the flag of Joan of Arc can also be seen everywhere on the flag of the French knights, in addition to the battle flag of the Knights Templar.
The Knights Templar, one of the three major knightly orders in Europe, was controlled by Louis, Lord of France.
And in the Knights Templar, in addition to the ordinary knights, there are ...... Paladin.
The knights of the Templar Order are already high-level soldiers, and the paladins who are selected from among the knights and transferred from among them are of a higher rank than ordinary knights, which is equivalent to the relationship between Qin Ruishi and Iron Eagle Ruishi.
The commander of the French army was Bertrand du GuΓ©clan, the French commander known as the "Eagle of Brittany" during the Hundred Years' War between England and France.
Originally, Joan of Arc was also supposed to be in the army of the Kingdom of France, fighting side by side with French heroes such as the Eagle of Lettany and the Paladin Roland, such a lineup may even be tricky for Liu Bei and Yang Su's coalition forces.
But Joan of Arc is not there, and the French army lacks a general who can boost morale, and its combat strength will also be discounted.
"If Liu Bei is so aggressive again, then the Knights Templar will have to send paladins to attack Liu Bei's army head-on."
Although Liu Bei and Yang Su had many fierce generals, Louis also had some confidence in the Paladin Army.
After all, the name of the paladin sounds a little scary, and he is one of the top cavalrymen in the Western Continent.
"Your Majesty, Roland is willing to lead the knights and paladins of the Templar Order to attack the army of the East from one side and compete with the mounted cavalry of the East."
Paladin Roland was appointed by Louis as the commander of the Paladin's army, and his force and loyalty were also qualified to take charge of one of the most disturbing heavy cavalry units in the Kingdom of France.
Louis was observing the change in the projection of the fleur-de-lis banner on the ground: "Count Roland, sometimes diplomacy can avoid many unnecessary casualties. There are even times when we can compromise with our opponents. β
Paladin Roland was puzzled: "We want to negotiate with the army of the East?" β
"I have tried, but Liu Bei has not agreed to make peace with us. Originally, I didn't want to fight with the lords of the Han Empire to avoid losing both, but Liu Bei was in hot pursuit, wanting to destroy my legion and gain military success. He had clearly miscalculated. β
"Then what do you mean ......"
"Join forces with the Germans. The Templars, the Teutonic Knights, and the two major knights joined forces to see if Liu Bei could block the impact of the two knights. β
Louis was reluctant, but was forced by Liu Bei to the point where he could not retreat.
In addition to Louis and Liu Bei, nearby were Hohenzollern of the Holy Roman Empire, a great lord who was at odds with Catherine and fought for control of the Kingdom of Poland.
The Teutonic Knights' white background and black cross banner stretched for more than ten miles, and it was the absolute main cavalry force of the Holy Roman Empire.
The Order of the Sword, an independent branch of the Teutonic Knights, also participated in the national war.
In addition to this, the Holy Roman Empire had Dubler swordsmen armed with heavy two-handed swords, black-shirted knights armed with firearms and mounted spears, and hussars recruited after the conquest of the Kingdom of Hungary......
Hohenzollern's army appeared in Liu Beijun's field of vision, whether it was Liu Bei, Chen Xi, or Wang Meng, none of them changed color.
They pursued too deep and forced Louis to join up with Hohenzollern.
"The banner of the vanguard of the enemy is a black cross!"
"Lord, you can withdraw immediately!"
When Chen Xi heard that it was a black cross, he quickly changed color.
This is the feared sign of the Teutonic Order!
Liu Bei can fight with any of the opponents, but if the two of them join forces, Liu Bei's army may be wiped out.
The lords of French civilization and German civilization have been developing for a long time, and Liu Bei finally gained a firm foothold in Yizhou and carried the two major Western lords, which was really difficult for Liu Bei.
"In this way, that strong man from Roland has no chance to be subdued."
Liu Bei couldn't help but regret it.
Originally, he had the opportunity to capture the Paladin Roland of the Kingdom of France alive, but Zhang Fei and Roland fought alone, giving Roland a chance to escape.
"It's a long time coming."
Chen Xi was a little anxious, because when Liu Bei began to withdraw his troops, the French Kingdom Army had already launched a counterattack.
Paladin Roland and Grand Master of the Templar Order are the vanguard, commanding the paladins, knights, and trainee knights of the Templar Order, and launch a charge!
"The eldest brother and the third brother will go first, and I will break back!"
With a flick of Guan Yu's wrist, the Green Dragon Glaive seemed to emit a faint dragon roar, and Guan Ping and the five hundred sword axe men faced the impact of the Templar Knights.
The armor, shields, and robes of the Knights Templar were full of holy brilliance, and they had a divine aura that was indescribable!
"When the Knights Templar reach a certain level, they can trigger skills that greatly increase their defense and morale for a period of time."
Louis couldn't help but be thrilled when he saw the mighty and holy Knights Templar attacking.
Liu Bei wanted to chase and kill him, but was bitten back by the French Kingdom army, and the army of the Holy Roman Emperor Hohenzollern was entering the battlefield, and Hohenzollern personally commanded the Hungarian hussars to rush ahead!
Guan Yu's Green Dragon Glaive slashed, and before he could see Guan Yu's sword clearly, Qing Mang slashed an ordinary Templar!
The knight's armor left a terrible scar!
The Green Dragon Glaive is enough to cut through most of the armor!
A paladin stabbed at Guan Yu with a spear, and Guan Yu swung his knife away, slashing the paladin's shoulder and breaking off one of his arms!
The wounded paladin stabbed Guan Yu with one arm left!
Guan Yu still blocked the paladin's mounted spear, and slashed his neck with the next sword, completely obliterating this paladin!
Guan Yu frowned slightly.
The paladin is fighting head-on, and he can only kill with two moves, which is equivalent to an increase in the physical strength consumed.
When Guan Yu's Green Dragon Glaive slashed the paladin's armor, Guan Yu could clearly feel the holy light overflowing from the paladin's armor, slightly canceling out the power of the Blue Dragon Glaive.
If the Qinglong Glaive Knife was not a divine blade, but Guan Yu personally slashed the sword, then it might not be possible to kill the paladin relatively neatly.
Roland appeared among the knights, armed with a holy sword, and engaged Guan Yu!
And eighty paladins, besieging Zhang Fei!
The cavalry of the Knights Templar passed between the two fighting bands of soldiers and horses and pursued Liu Bei.
Zhang Bao and Guan Ping led their troops to fight to the death!
Liu Bei's army retreated into the mountain road one after another, and the two sides fought and retreated.
Guan Yu fought with the paladin Roland, and most of them experienced Zhang Fei's feelings.
Roland's attack speed and defense were unusual, and the Green Dragon Glaive Knife was bold and fierce, and it was blocked by Roland.
Roland could not defeat Guan Yu either.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not worried about the paladins, the Hungarian hussars led by the Holy Roman Emperor Hohenzollern had already arrived, and the rain of arrows covered Liu Bei's troops after the break.
"Second brother, there are many thieves, let's go first!"
Zhang Fei picked up a paladin, and the body of the paladin fell to the ground, the holy brilliance disappeared, and it was trampled into dirt by the war horse!
Guan Yu struck with all his strength, and the Qinglong Glaive Sword Qingmang Dasheng forced back the paladin Roland, and joined Zhang Fei, and two 10,000 enemies joined forces to kill!
"This is the Hungarian hussar?"
Louis saw the Hussars under Hohenzollern's command and quickly guessed their origins.
"It's really disturbing, don't let Hohenzollern become the second Charlemagne. But if the Western Continent wants to stop Chu Zimou, the lord of the Eastern Continent, he may need a commander. Hohenzollern, Caesar, Constantine, or Alexander? β
Louis was in charge of the Paladin, but he was still a little reluctant, and the Kingdom of France was sandwiched between the Roman Empire, the Kingdom of Spain, the Holy Roman Empire, the Netherlands, England, and the Swiss Confederation (neutral zone), and it was difficult to expand.
"By the way, Hohenzollern invited me to defeat Catherine in the Overworld and divide her territory, and I can get the territory of the Low Countries as compensation......"
Louis thought of Hohenzollern's proposal not long ago to form a Western alliance against Catherine and Chutian.
"Maybe I should take this opportunity to talk to Hohenzollern about this."
