"Boris, the fence and arrow tower are not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that our cavalry cannot cross the river. We can only wait and see when the count and the king's team rush across the stone bridge, otherwise we will not be able to fight this battle!
"
Nalant also frowned and looked a little solemn.
In the last Autumn Campaign, to be honest, he had never fought a few serious siege battles, especially such a battle involving nearly 100,000 people.
Even if it was outside Maple Leaf City, the days of filling the river were quite intense, and then it turned out to be a trap left by the Northern Principality.
"Although there are three thousand paladins on the stone bridge, the king and several earls with the extraordinary knights should be able to attack it. Fortunately, we are not facing the paladins directly. They are all silver knights. With this strength, we
If you charge forward, you will definitely win miserably!"
"A miserable victory?" Nalant glanced at Boris, wondering how confident he was that he could really defeat three thousand Paladins.
However, Boris has never had a tough fight with the Paladins, so he probably still doesn't understand the perversion of their mithril armors.
Woohoo!
At this moment, the loud sound of the horn came to the ears of Nalant and others.
"It's begun! Everyone, get ready!"
Hearing the sound of the horn, Nalant and other vassals took the lead in pulling out the long swords at their waists and began to issue orders to their subordinates.
"charge!"
"kill!"
When the horn sound ended, almost at the same time, all the vassals waved their swords and charged towards the river bank first.
"Kill!" Nalant and Boris also issued orders to their subordinates, and then started to charge with the densely packed team.
Nalant dispatched a total of 151 people today.
Among them were one hundred pikemen, thirty barbarian guards, and twenty longbowmen.
As for the extra one, it’s Vivian.
However, he did not send out extraordinary combat powers such as Storm Knight and Wolf Knight.
It's not that Nalant was reluctant to send it out, but because the raft was limited, it simply couldn't accommodate so many people.
Another reason is that because they now need to cross the river to the other side, the war horses cannot follow them at all, which greatly weakens the combat effectiveness of the extraordinary knights.
It would be better to stay in the position in case of an emergency. Anyway, Nalant and other small vassals are just to contain the guards of the Northern Principality.
Whoosh whoosh!
"Be careful, it's a trebuchet!"
Just when Nalant and the others were about to charge towards the river, there was a terrifying sound of breaking through the air above their heads.
One after another, stone bombs began to pour towards the river bank.
"Speed up!" Upon seeing this, Nalant waved his hand and rushed towards the front with his men.
In a battle of this scale, the enemy's trebuchets are all blind-fired, so their positions are basically fixed. As long as they run out of the attack range quickly, they will be safe.
"Everyone, speed up the charge...Narant, wait for me!"
Although Nalant's subordinates participating in the battle at the moment are all ordinary guards, daily physical training is indispensable.
At this moment, the advantage was immediately apparent, and he ran straight out of the battle circle of the vassals and was far ahead.
Upon seeing this, Boris quickly called on his subordinates to follow him.
Since the Autumn March, he understood that on the battlefield, whether he wanted to gain benefits or save his life, it was safest to follow Nalant.
"Boris, can this wait?" Nalant rolled his eyes without pausing at all.
More than a minute later, he finally led a group of subordinates to the river bank.
"Get on the raft and cross the river!" Nalant didn't stop when he came to the river, and took the lead in jumping onto a simple raft made of more than a dozen rolling logs.
Following his order, all the guards jumped onto the raft and began to disembark.
At this time, Boris also ran over with his subordinates, panting heavily.
Fortunately, they ran fast and because of their large number, the trebuchet did not fall on their team of only two to three hundred people.
Seeing that Nalant and his team had begun to force the crossing, he immediately ordered his subordinates to follow.
However, just when they started to cross the river, before they had time to take a breath, a guard of the Northern Principality suddenly stood on the wooden fence and arrow tower opposite.
"Be careful, they are about to shoot arrows! Raise your shield quickly!" Boris shouted at the top of his voice to his subordinates.
This time it was a real offensive and defensive battle, and it was still on this unobstructed view of the river. The most feared thing was the enemy's long archers.
"Longbow Team, suppress them, Vivian, deal with them!"
"Yes, sir!"
Only Boris's voice fell and was covered by Nalant's command.
Immediately, bursts of bow string sounds were heard.
Whoosh whoosh!
On Nalant's dozen or so rafts, more than twenty arrows were seen piercing the air and heading towards the Northern Principality guards on the opposite side.
Puff puff!
Whoosh whoosh!
Puff puff!
"This...is this okay?"
At this moment, they were still about a hundred meters away from the other side.
The opponent's long archers were still preparing to take aim, but Nalant fired two waves of arrows in an instant.
What's even more frightening is that the arrows fired by Nalant and his subordinates hit the enemy one after another at a distance of a hundred meters, and occasionally only one or two arrows missed.
Especially Vivian, after shooting the first arrow, her movements did not pause at all. She nocked the arrow and opened the bow, nocked the arrow and opened the bow. The arrows were like a rain of arrows and they shot at the enemy longbowmen.
In just over ten seconds, the long archers on the fence and arrow tower in front of them had been beaten to pieces and ceased to exist.
"Boris, what are you doing in a daze? Tell your subordinates to put down their shields and speed up the row!"
In the past, because they were encounters in the wild and had the presence of crossbows, the performance of longbowmen was not outstanding.
But this time, without the presence of crossbows, the longbowmen immediately showed the outstanding talents they received from Vivian.
At this moment, the other vassal rafts on both sides of them had fallen into the enemy's arrow rain, but there was no continuous rain of arrows in the area where he and Boris were.
"Oh, okay! Listen up, everyone, come to me. With Baron Nalant here, we are going to kill these bastards from the Northern Principality today."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Kill!"
One of Boris's subordinates also felt a sense of security inexplicably, and followed Nalant's team diligently.
"Bernard, is that Nalant's team? The family flag looks very similar to me!"
At the same time, in front of the stone bridge, King Culver and the earls prepared for war.
They did not start to attack the stone bridge immediately, but prepared to wait for the vassals to successfully land on the other side and restrain the opponent's ordinary guards before charging.
As Nalant advanced forward, he was immediately noticed by the king and the earls.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's Nalant!" Bernard responded proudly.
"Well, not bad! It's a pity that you, Bernard, beat me to it, otherwise I would have wanted him to randomly choose one of my daughters!" King Culver nodded and praised.
"Haha, Your Majesty, Nalant and my tulip flower have true love!" Bernard became even happier under the jealous eyes of other earls.
"Okay, Nalant has landed! Let's get started!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Crossbowman, move out!"
After speaking, several counts issued orders to the ballista teams on both sides of the team that had been waiting for a long time.
Following the order, more than 300 ballistas moved towards the stone bridge, and then began to pour towards the other side in waves.
These crossbows were forged by the counts themselves after Nalant sold the technology.
At this moment, these ballistae can just suppress the enemies on the bridge and make them retreat to the other side.
"Knights, charge!"
When the cavalry and paladins of the Northern Principality who were blocked on the bridge had to withdraw from the stone bridge, the king and the earls drew their swords one after another and charged towards the stone bridge with their respective extraordinary knights.
"King, they are starting!" Following the movement on the stone bridge, everyone who had just landed immediately noticed it.
"Boris, don't desert, be responsible for covering me!" Nalant quickly stopped Boris, who was somewhat "idle".
This guy really thought that his mere 100 subordinates were an invincible army. Five to six hundred Northern Principality guards had already gathered in front of them, and he still had time to observe the situation on the stone bridge.
"Oh! Okay, Narant!" Boris quickly corrected his attitude, mainly because the strength of Narant's subordinates was so strong that he felt like he was being held in his lap, and his sense of casualness and nervousness was greatly reduced.
Of course, after a pause, Boris still had something to say: "By the way, Narant, I forgot to ask you, why are the spears of your subordinates so long?"
"This is called an inch longer, an inch stronger!" Nalant rolled his eyes at Boris, then ignored the guy and began to concentrate on commanding his subordinates.
