Chapter 726: A Fierce Battle (5)
Without the protection of the knights, the shortcomings of the knights' squires' lack of combat power were presented, and the siege and harassment of the archers and Black Eagle cavalry were even more chaotic.
Seeing such a great opportunity appear in front of him, Baron Allens was more like he had taken some tonic directly, roaring loudly, while desperately attacking the strongest knight on West's side, his movements and changes in the battlefield brought a huge morale boost to Allens's side, and immediately let Allens's side press West's side to beat hard.
As for the 400 Black Hawk soldiers who caught up behind, and the 100 soldiers who grabbed with iron, of course, they went to help their cavalry fight without hesitation.
The remaining 300 bamboo spearmen, led by the officers, spread out the ranks and surrounded the fleeing peasant soldiers.
During the encirclement, they were holding bamboo guns, and they were very excited to drop the bamboo guns and pick up the discarded weapons on the ground.
Many soldiers directly picked up the bows and arrows of the more than sixty unlucky archers, and instantly turned into archers and began to shoot arrows to deter and intimidate the fleeing peasant soldiers, forcing them to drill into the encirclement net.
As for how they know how to shoot arrows? Please, after they were selected as soldiers, in the territory of the Great Chen Dynasty, because there was no shortage of materials and equipment, but the noble bead world lacked everything, so all the soldiers were trained as all arms, except for their own strength, they were cavalry on horseback, spearmen with guns, swords and shields were sword and shield soldiers, and bows and arrows were archers!
Of course, there are still some people who still hold bamboo guns, after all, bamboo guns are good compared to most of the weapons discarded by the peasants, so let's continue to use bamboo guns, after all, what wooden sticks, forks, shovels and other things are used as weapons, it is really panicked.
Of course, the soldiers who turned into archers also left a full fifty people to follow Zhang Zhongjun, for them, guarding the safety of the lord was much more important than capturing the peasants.
Zhang Zhongjun rushed to Baron West's side regardless of it, and slashed at it with a fierce sword, Baron West, who had just emerged from the flames, did not look blackened or injured at all, but was more energetic than before, and the silver-white light on his body was brighter than before.
He easily blocked Zhang Zhongjun's attack, turned his head to look around while counterattacking, and when he saw the changes in the battlefield, his expression couldn't help but be slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect that the battle situation would be so corrupt all of a sudden?
He thinks he eats his brain, and he can instantly understand that this Black Hawk mercenary is not a weak chicken, but a jackal, and in this situation, unless he can kill or catch the mercenary leader in front of him who is fighting against him, it is possible to make the mercenary rebel, and then use the number of mercenaries and the advantage of the number of knights on his side to crush the Allens side again, otherwise his side will inevitably enter a state of defeat.
This is a very understandable thing, as long as you see that the knight squires on your side are besieged by the opponent's archers and nearly a hundred Black Eagle cavalry and nearly a hundred spearmen, it will not be able to bring much help to your own knights at all, but will often have to distract your own knights to protect the squires.
In this way, although there are five fewer knights on the Allens' side, the number of remaining knights and knight squires can surround the knights on their side alone!
Don't look at the strength of the knight, the combat effectiveness is strong, and the majesty is majestic when fighting alone, but once the battle is in the battle array, the knight who loses the help of the knight's squire will often be beaten to the ground, unless the knight's strength has reached a very high level, otherwise it is impossible to fight a thousand horses.
This is also the existence of the knight reserve in the knight system for Mao to appear knight squire, they learn all kinds of knowledge from the knights who serve, and the knights will concentrate on teaching them, and with the formation of their tacit understanding, it will be natural to form a knight as the main force, and the knight squire as an auxiliary force of the battle array, some well-integrated, and experienced knight battle formations, can easily challenge the lone knight whose strength level is two orders higher than their own, and can challenge the knight battle array that is one order higher than themselves, but the battle array is not very skillful.
Therefore, the relationship between the knight and the knight squire is very close, otherwise the knights on their own side will not risk being injured from time to time to rescue the knight squire who is in danger.
You must know that all the knight scopes who have followed for many years are hanged, and the knight's combat effectiveness on the battlefield is definitely weakened by more than fifty percent!
West, who understood this, couldn't help but regret it a little, damn, he knew that he had already recruited this Black Hawk mercenary for a knight leader, and he had the upper hand at that time, and with such a generous reward, he could definitely hire the Black Hawk Regiment that was still waiting.
It's just that I don't regret taking the medicine, and killing and capturing the leader of the Black Eagle Regiment in front of me does not guarantee that the Black Eagle Regiment will turn back, after all, there are small forces in a mercenary group, maybe someone would like this regiment leader to hang up and occupy a place, whether it is to sit in a stable position, or if you really want to take revenge, you will fight with yourself endlessly.
Thinking of such a powerful mercenary bandit in his territory, West couldn't help but sweat a little, so he dispelled the idea of killing Zhang Zhongjun.
Since you can't kill it, then naturally you will seduce it first, and then you will take it prisoner if you can't seduce it, West, who thinks he is a brain-eater, while having a relationship with Zhang Zhongjun on offense and defense, said loudly: "Lord Black Hawk, you also see that Baron Allens's strength is not very good, why don't you switch to serving me?" I am willing to give you the title of Lord, and I do not need your allegiance, but will fully support you to become a member of the Kingdom Council, so that you can obtain the status of noble noble, and only on the condition that you order your Black Eagle Regiment to counterattack Baron Allens. ”
The knight watching from the side immediately wanted to speak, but Zhang Zhongjun pouted disdainfully: "Please, do you want me to fight back at such a price?" Baron Allens, but give me a reward of one lord and ten knights, do you think I can help you?"
Baron West couldn't help but be shocked for a moment, and then his face was full of annoyance: "Damn! He dares to give so many territories?!
The knight on the side couldn't help but pouted and muttered, "Damn, if you win, I'm afraid our Baron Allens family will be demoted to a lord family!"
Baron West also knew that he couldn't convince Zhang Zhongjun, because it was absolutely impossible for him to give such a large reward, even if he was in a state of crisis.
It is only the existence of his family that the entire territory of Allens will dare to speak so much, and any lord will not open his mouth like this, because the roots of the territory are continuous, even the lord has no way to insist on acting recklessly!
It's a pity, West glanced at Zhang Zhongjun, and then put on a posture of preparing to make a big move.
