At the time of the incident, "Hair King" Harald was on the right flank of the high ground. He watched helplessly as the flag of the Alemannic Federation suddenly appeared in the distance.
In the second line on the right, Harald was closest to the camp on the high ground. There were many other lords' troops standing between him and the ambush. However, the banner of the Alemannic Federation moved so quickly towards
Harald's men and horses approached as if they were not receiving any resistance.
Some soldiers came to him in a panic and said: "Sir, these enemies look so powerful! As soon as the soldiers and horses of the lords in front of us came into contact with them, they were immediately defeated!"
"Being defeated? I'm afraid they are not willing to fight at all."
The soldier was stunned: "Escape? How could that happen? That way you won't be able to enter the Hall of Valor!"
"Does this have anything to do with us who believe in the Olympian gods?"
Harald has seen through everything. When Amy used violence to force these lords to obey, the root of this disaster had already been laid - violence will always be suppressed by more powerful violence. Once this only reliance is frustrated, it will be suppressed by violence.
People's hearts that are forcibly squeezed together will immediately fall apart.
When Amy fell from the horse, the hearts of these lords were already scattered. In this situation, they were suddenly ambushed by the enemy. Not only would they not resist desperately, but they would probably hope that Amy would die here.
This kind of thing has happened countless times in history.
This is the end of all tyrants.
It will take some time before the ambush reaches Harald's position. As friendly forces continue to withdraw from the battlefield, the morale of Harald's soldiers has also been very low. Harald touched his chin and said to himself: "We are going to
Don’t you want to retreat too?”
…
Reports of the lord's defeat kept reaching Grahid's ears, putting pressure on the young general again and again. Once the highlands were lost, all troops entering the battlefield would be surrounded by the Alemannic coalition.
Glahid did not expect that the lords guarding the two wings of the highland would retreat so quickly. Just now, Harald, who was stationed at the last line of defense, led his troops to retreat before engaging the enemy. By now, nearly half of the lords who had led the retreat had
, the numerical advantage of the Pirate Kingdom no longer exists.
What's even worse is that the lords left on the battlefield in the Pirate Kingdom are all supporters of Amy. Seeing what happened to Amy, they completely ignored Glahid's order and rushed forward together, causing tens of thousands of people to attack.
The soldiers were huddled together. In front of many soldiers stood thirty or forty friendly soldiers, and the column length was already twice that of the enemy.
Although the dark look is very intimidating, these soldiers in the back row are unable to provide any support to the soldiers in the front row except for shouting and cheering, and the efficiency is extremely low. In contrast, the soldiers stationed on the high ground with Glahid
There are less than a thousand people.
The number of enemy troops attacking the highlands was 5,000, five times that of Grahid. Even if Grahid wanted to save it, the lords would not obey his orders. Under this circumstance, the defeat of the Pirate Kingdom seemed to be a foregone conclusion.
Glahid punched the ground: "That's why I said I can't command these lords! Even if I were only given the men directly under the King of Sweden, the war would not be like this!"
A small army of a hundred people ran towards the direction of Glahid.
"Brother Glahid! I couldn't resist the enemy's ambush, so I came to your side!"
The person shouting like this was also a barbarian from the Pirate Kingdom. Glahid was stunned for a moment. He was from England and had very limited acquaintances in the Pirate Kingdom. He could not imagine that anyone would call him big brother. When the barbarian came closer, Glahid remembered
He was a Sealander who had stayed with him in Upland and was now a minor lord.
Nobles born in Zealand are often staunch Ella faction, so Glahid placed him behind the battle line without thinking. But when the lords in the rear were all withdrawing their troops from the battlefield, he took him with him
The troops ran towards the high ground. This made Glahid have to wonder if he ran the wrong way.
Even the soldiers behind the lord kept shouting: "Sir, the direction down the mountain is over there! You are running the wrong way!"
After hearing this, the lord cursed: "Go down the mountain? Why do you have to go down the mountain?"
"But...the number of enemies is too many!"
The lord's beard twitched: "So what? Have you seen the young lord in front of you? I tell you, he is the great hero of Upland! Join the army with him, and your lives will be saved one by one.
It’s all saved!”
"The great hero of the Upland Rebellion?" This title made Glahid feel a little relieved and he laughed, "Indeed, I seem to be more suitable for commanding a small army."
The ambush troops on the left wing of the Alemannic coalition reached the high ground first. They were unstoppable along the way, and their morale was extremely high. When the hundreds of soldiers at the front saw the enemy camp right in front of them, they not only did not retreat, but instead accelerated their pace one by one.
Want to be the first to break into the enemy camp.
They quickly entered the range of the bow and arrow, but there was no reaction at all from Glahid's camp. This made them rush forward even more unscrupulously. Soon they were dozens of meters closer to the camp.
However, when they entered one-half of the normal shooting range of bows and arrows, a hail of arrows suddenly struck. The soldiers thought that the enemy would abandon the stronghold and flee as before, but this sudden counterattack was completely unexpected by the soldiers.
.But before they could react, another wave of arrows struck.
There was almost no gap between the two waves of arrows. Seeing their companions lying in a pool of blood, the soldiers who were stunned realized that this was a battlefield. At this time, the third wave of arrows came again.
Under the continuous blows from bows and arrows, the enthusiasm of those soldiers was mostly reduced. They noticed that the camp flags in front were neatly guarded, and for a while they did not dare to step forward and retreated one after another.
They quickly withdrew from half of the arrow range, but the enemy's archers continued to kill them. They couldn't help but curse the enemy general in their hearts - he could have let the archers shoot long ago, but he didn't
I just wanted to let them rush forward for a while.
When they retreated to two-thirds of the range of normal bows and arrows, the strikes of bows and arrows completely stopped. However, they were still uneasy and retreated until they were beyond the range of an arrow. Then they stopped and waited for the follow-up large forces to arrive.
Come.
This 5,000-man ambush force was composed of the troops of twelve lords of the Alemannic Federation. Hearing that the attack of the front-line troops was resisted, these thirteen lords rode to the front line together.
Observe the battle situation.
"You are saying that the enemy's bows and arrows shoot very fast?"
The soldier who had experienced the arrow rain nodded desperately and tried his best to describe the situation at that time. When he felt that his lord had fully understood the situation at that time, he added: "But relatively, the enemy's range
That’s all!”
He pointed out to the lords the distance at which the arrows stopped: two-thirds of the normal bow range.
