The recruits were indignant and about to speak, when the sergeant named Diree reached out and motioned for them to shut up.

"Your name is Dickie, isn't it? Hu Cong looked at him, "Although the armor is very old, it is also a high-grade plate armor, of course it can't be wasted, and you will lead them in the actions of the meeting." ”

Di Rui wiped the dew on the plate armor with an expressionless face, then straightened up and looked back at Hu Cong's eyes, and said, "Yiqiē obeys the arrangement of the adults. ”

Hu Cong nodded with satisfaction: "Pay attention to the movements of the cavalry in front of you, if they start to charge, it means that the action begins, and you yourself know what to do." After saying that, he didn't look at the recruits anymore and returned to the front of the troops.

"A mere servant is so arrogant, I don't know where he got the courage!" said a soldier angrily.

"Come on, he is a subordinate of Lord Hegen, who is a famous knight in the kingdom, not to mention that he is valued by the king and the earl to lead the troops to the battle. He is our leader, and his obedience represents his commands. Another soldier said.

The soldier stopped complaining and said, "Diree, you are the most powerful sergeant in the infantry, and your strength is definitely better than that servant, why are you willing to be called by him?"

Di Rui suddenly smiled when he saw the soldier's bloody appearance, and he remembered when he had just joined the army. "You've been trained in the army, and you know what we people want most. ”

"Of course, you have to fight the enemy, and the more you kill, the better!"

"You're right, you want to prove yourself. I want my strength to be recognized by the lord, and I want to slowly rise from a recruit to the highest level of the army......" Di Rui said slowly, "But have you ever thought that even if you climb to the highest level? You're still a soldier. The highest soldiers, who are still soldiers, are always under the command of those earls and lords, noble knights, and even a small servant. ”

"You have been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, and you have finally put on heavy armor and held a fine knife, and you can shout a few times to the sky, and your ambition has been rewarded......" Di Rui looked at the sky, the fog gradually dissipated, and the rare faint sunlight shone on his helmet and cheeks. He continued, "But after all this is over, you will find that there is no meaning, and in the end all you are left with is a numb body that has been controlled by the adults for so long that it is scarred. With heavy armor covered in blood rust, he bragged about his past as a talking point to the recruits, and then looked up at the sky a few times. ”

"Look at this foggy and gloomy sky, how many people have shouted at it for their ambitions. Determined to carve out a piece of their own sky on this continent. ”

And these people often don't realize until the end. In fact, all I want is that ray of sunshine......"

The fog had gradually cleared, the sky had regained its original clarity, and the warm sun was once again shining over the land. In the cool breeze, it seemed to echo someone's sigh.

"The hell is finally gone. Diping patted his mist-soaked hair and breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord, the village ahead is the village of Jerburg. The soldier next to him reminded.

Dipin put his helmet on and said, "Let's go around the village and then go back to the city." I'm going to catch up on some sleep. ”

The soldier was stunned when he heard this, and then his expression became a little strange. He said, "Your Excellency...... If Eden sees your lazy look, I'll have to reprimand you. ”

Di Ping didn't care, pursed his lips, and said: "Don't mention it, I doubt that Lord Eden is old and confused, I am such an excellent young lord, he did not send me to the front line to fight the enemy, but let me stay in the castle to do patrol business, so that my pride and tactical talent can not be used properly." ”

"My lord, with all due respect, you are indeed very intelligent, but you have not experienced a big war, and you may not be able to adapt to the scene of a big war. Lord Eden values you very much, so we have our troops stay here to enrich your combat experience. The soldier knew that he was a kind and cheerful adult, so he spoke a lot more casually, but he could only express his helplessness at his comments on his superior.

"What kind of war can you fight in a castle?"

"We can search for nearby robbers and keep the city safe...... "The soldier explained.

"Enough. Dipin waved his hand impatiently, "After all, it's still the patrol business." ”

The soldier sighed, "The kingdom has been at war with the Virgians in recent months, and the villages on the border have been regularly sacked by enemy lords, so maybe we can run into a force that doesn't have a long eye. ”

Di Ping flicked the reins listlessly, then his eyes swept around the soldiers behind him, and said: "Our army is only fifty people, if we really run into a large army of the enemy, we will still lose." ”

"If I lead not these fifty people but thousands of troops, then I can rush to the front line and show my strength, instead of doing nothing here...... "Di Ping's eyes suddenly lit up, but quickly dimmed.

Sensing the adult's distraction, the soldier had no choice but to shake his head and remind: "My lord, the village of Jeerberg has arrived. ”

Di Ping raised his head, and houses appeared clearly in his sight, and he nodded: "Everyone is going to go into the village to inspect, and then rest for a while." ”

By this time the fog had completely cleared, the sky was bright, the sun was blinding, and before you knew it, it was noon.

Di Ping was about to get off his horse, and he casually saw a group of people and horses on the grassy slope in the distance, and the sound of heavy horses' hooves made his expression solemn.

"My lord, that's ......"

"It's not clear, they didn't hang a flag, but it's certainly not a good guy. Dipin rubbed his palms to make himself look less nervous, "It looks like there are regular cavalry." ”

"Could it be a rebellion?" said one soldier, and the others looked in that direction, keeping an eye on the heavily armed uninvited guests.

Dipin untied the sword from his waist and stretched his arms. His expression became very calm: "It doesn't matter who they are, you just need to prepare yourself for battle." Originally, I wanted to plan my tactics well, so that you can see my shrewd strategy. But now they seem to have discovered us. As he spoke, he glanced deeply into the distance, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he was smiling.

Hogan looked at the dozens of Nord soldiers in the distance and instructed the cavalry behind him: "There is a group of Nord soldiers in front, it seems that it is a small lord, it seems that they are still guessing our identity, and if they come over to negotiate." Pay attention to my commands and start fighting, attacking with all your might, annihilating them in the shortest possible time. ”

These cavalry were well-trained heavy cavalry of the Swadia Kingdom. Extremely combat-ready, although the village is on a grassy slope, there is no pressure on the well-equipped and highly protected heavy cavalry.

Looking at the approaching Nord troops, a smile appeared on Hogan's face. He took out his spear. Wait on the sidelines.

"Your Excellency looks like a person of status, if I guessed correctly, it must be a lord, I don't know what to do in this wild deserted village with soldiers?" Facing a series of hostile gazes, Hogan spoke unhurriedly, preemptively asking what the other party wanted to ask.

Di Ping looked at these heavy cavalry with interest, stroked the unsheathed sword in his hand, then smiled and said, "The king asked me to come to patrol the mountain. ”

Hogan was stunned. It was strange to say something mocking, but he didn't think about it. He took the cavalry gun from Hu Cong's hand, and immediately reprimanded: "Cavalry, do it!" The sound of the horse's hooves suddenly sounded, and the heavy cavalry began to charge down from the grassy slope.

Di Ping was not surprised at all, he laughed out loud, waved the sword in his hand, and the flag behind him fluttered with a gust of wind, and dozens of Nord soldiers drew their weapons one after another, shining blindly in the sun.

"Warriors of Nord, wield your iron axes to your heart's content!"

In an instant, dozens of pitch-black shadows streaked through the air, slashing at the charging heavy cavalry like lightning.

In the sunlight, it could be seen that these were throwing axes with handles, and the heavy cavalry could hit their target before they could react. Some of the sharp axe blades cut into their chests, and some cut into the armoured horses.

The sound of the horses' hooves turned from calm to chaotic, and at the same time the painful neighing of the military horses sounded. Although these cavalry had been through a lot of battles, it was the first time that they had launched a surprise attack but were attacked by the enemy first, and many cavalry fell off their horses. The grassy slope was quickly stained red with blood.

Under the scorching sun, a fierce battle began.

The galloping and neighing of horses resounded throughout the village, and the otherwise quiet sky was pierced by the clashing of blades, and in a matter of moments, the Nord soldiers and Svadia's heavy cavalry were locked in a battle to the death.

The axes thrown by the Nord soldiers at the beginning seized the lead, but the charging ability of the heavy cavalry was extremely powerful, and they broke through the attack of the axes in an instant, and rushed towards the Nord soldiers like a tide. Several Nord soldiers did not have time to pull out their tomahawks at their waists before they were knocked to the ground by their horses.

The charging heavy cavalry then brought the assassination of the cavalry spears, and the weakly defended Nord soldiers were instantly pierced, blood spilled all over the grassy slopes. The Nord soldiers, who had previously relied on throwing axes to intimidate the enemy, suffered heavy casualties in front of Swadia's iron cavalry, and the tide of the battle suddenly changed.

"Raise your shield!" Depin shouted, blocking a heavy cavalryman's attack with a round shield, then slashing him down with a backhand.

The sound of horses' hooves rumbling in his ears confused Dipin's mind a little, but he forced himself to muster up his courage to kill the enemy. This was an extremely difficult battle, due to the disadvantages of numbers and terrain, Diping had no choice but to deploy tactics and could only improvise and order his soldiers to resist.

Although he had never been on a major battlefield, Di Ping, who had been trained for a long time, was very good at it, dodging the cavalry spears of two heavy cavalrymen in a row, and slashing them under his horse with the sharp sword in his hand.

Not far away, the soldiers of Nord also raised their round shields and steadily recovered from the panic of casualties, but they were still oppressed in front of the cavalry on military horses.

A pitch-black heavy cavalry spear was nailed to Diping's shield, piercing a large hole, and the figure of Hogan appeared in front of Diping.

Due to the disadvantage of the range of weapons, Dipin was also in a difficult situation, and he rode his horse with all his strength and charged towards Hogan. As a high-ranking knight, Hogan has very good combat skills, and quickly switches melee weapons and begins to fight face-to-face with Dipin.

In the face of Hogan's fierce attack, Di Ping inevitably hung the color, the chain mail on his body was cut a few times, and some blood flowed out, he gritted his teeth, held the round shield that had cracked in front of him, and continued to fight desperately.

At noon, as the sun shone on the temperature, both the heavy cavalry and the Nord infantry were extremely hard in this battle, sweat mixed with blood flowing in their bodies.

Over time, the Nord infantry, completely suppressed by the heavy cavalry, began to show defeat. Looking at the gradually falling Nord soldiers near him, Dipin couldn't help but feel a little exhausted, he pulled out his gaze to look at the clear blue sky, and the bursts of bright light made his eyes barely open.
