Hundreds of powerful and well-equipped knights collectively committed suicide by crashing the door under his castle, and the whole army was wiped out. This is really a good story.
I will definitely make a splash in the circle of the great nobles, which will be even more exciting than repelling the werewolf invasion last time.
Just when Count Valencia was imagining how to adapt this battle to make himself more majestic, the black-robed knight at the head of the knights below finally rushed into the doorway.
There was a dull crashing sound, and the smile on Count Warren's lips couldn't help but become thicker.
He could have imagined the disbelieving expression on the knight's face when he slammed into the city gate. Unfortunately, the gate was located in a deep and long opening directly below the city wall. It was several meters away from the outside of the city wall. Standing on top of the city wall, it was impossible to see below.
The scene made Count Warren feel a little regretful.
As the leading knight in black robe rushed into the city gate, the knights behind him followed closely and rushed in one after another. Soon, the expression on Count Wallen's face became stiff.
Nearly half of the hundreds of heavily armored knights have already rushed into the city gate hole. The following knights are still rushing in, but the city gate hole below is only a few meters deep. Even if the knights in front are all crowded together, there will be no way.
It is impossible to accommodate dozens of men and horses, all heavily armored knights.
Just when Count Warren looked in disbelief, fierce shouts of killing suddenly came from the city gate behind him and below.
Count Warren couldn't see what was happening at the city gate, but the knights following Chen Mo could see it clearly.
The moment he was about to hit the city gate, Chen Mo quickly pulled out the long sword from his waist, and with lightning speed, slashed vertically towards the city gate in front of him.
The bright silver sword light flashed through the center of the city gate like lightning, and then the war horse under Chen Mo's crotch hit the heavy city gate heavily.
Instead of the splatters of blood and broken muscles and bones as Count Warren imagined, this black war horse, which was far taller and more powerful than the other war horses, let out a loud neighing sound from its mouth and continued to push open the closed door.
The heavy door bolt that was cut into two pieces was thrown away and fell in front of the soldiers guarding the door. This sudden change made them unable to react for a while. Their strong castle door was just like this.
Breakthrough?
The knights behind Chen Mo rushed into the castle. Before the soldiers in front of them had time to fight back, they were completely overwhelmed by the charging knights.
After a brief shout of death and screams, the knights did not slow down, and all passed through the gate and rushed towards the interior of the castle. Behind them, there was only a mess of corpses that were almost trampled to pulp by horse hooves.
.
Count Wallen quickly turned around and rushed towards the inner wall. Looking at the heavy armored knights rushing in from below, Count Wallen looked in disbelief.
He really couldn't imagine how they broke through the city gate. Judging from the speed at which they rushed in, it seemed that they were not blocked by the city gate at all. Could it be that someone betrayed him and the city gate was not closed at all?
Count Valen turned his head to look at the guard captain beside him with a stern look on his face, only to find that he looked at the knights below with a look of shock as well, not like he knew about it in advance.
Putting aside the doubts in his heart, Count Wallen looked at the knights who started to turn their horses and charge towards the city wall. His expression was solemn and confused. What on earth do these knights want to do?
Forget about using cavalry to attack the city, do they still want to attack the city wall?
Under Count Warren's disbelieving gaze, hundreds of knights rushed to the inner city wall under the rain of arrows. They all dismounted their horses, held high the knight's sword that shone with cold light, and rushed up the steps towards the city wall.
Earl Warren was immediately overjoyed. Could it be that the brains of these stupid knights were caught by the city gate?
On the war horse, they can rely on the knight armor armed to the toes to withstand attacks from swords, spears and arrows, and control the horse to slash and kill as much as they want.
Once the knight dismounts, his almost invincible armor turns into a heavy and clumsy burden. It can be said that he staggers on the ground and becomes the best target. Infantry can easily pierce weapons through the gaps in the armor.
, wounding or even killing the knight.
Therefore, knights generally do not wear a full set of heavy armor when fighting on foot, but only equip a breastplate.
Seeing this powerful knights who broke through the city gate and rushed in, they stupidly dismounted and fought on foot, and attacked the city wall from a low place. It can be said that Count Warren's mood took a turn for the worse, and he was already desperate.
hope of winning.
Without anyone's command, the archers on the city wall desperately poured arrows at the heavily armored knights who were attacking upwards. Although they were all blocked by their armor and shields, they still kept shooting.
The soldiers holding spears quickly gathered at the stairs leading up to the city wall, and they set up tight defenses layer by layer, waiting for the arrival of these heavily armored knights.
However, no one noticed that although these knights in heavy armor moved slowly, they were not stiff and clumsy at all. Instead, they were very flexible in their movements.
It wasn't until the two parties actually came into contact that Count Warren realized that he had been wrong.
After these knights left their horses, their combat effectiveness did not decrease at all. Instead, they were extremely flexible and their long sword attacks were extremely sharp.
The spears in the hands of the soldiers at the front were cut off one after another, and then they were killed by the knights who rushed up with a sword. The originally confident defense was easily torn to pieces by these powerful and outrageous knights.
What followed was a one-sided massacre. Even the knights under Count Valencia were no match for these knights in silver armor. The long swords were directly broken when slashed on their armor, but they failed to attack the knights inside.
Causes no harm at all.
But the long swords in the hands of these knights can pierce their thick armor and kill them.
The fierce fighting ended quickly. After Count Warren was beheaded by Chen Mo with a sword, the remaining knights and soldiers gave up their resistance and chose to surrender.
The lord they were loyal to was already dead, so there was no need to fight any longer and lose their lives in vain.
The great lord, Earl Warren, was killed, and his vast territory was all occupied by Chen Mo. With the hundred-strong armored knights in his hands, Chen Mo became the new master of this area.
Without giving the surrounding vassal nobles of Earl Warren time to react, Chen Mo made some repairs at Blackstone Castle before launching an attack on the surrounding territories.
Under the leadership of Chen Mo, the Heavy Armored Knights launched continuous attacks. It took half a month to completely regain the territory of dozens of kilometers in radius. Chen Mo also officially became the master of more than two thousand square kilometers of land and tens of thousands of people.
.
Chen Mo's expansion did not stop there. After quickly integrating this large territory, Chen Mo immediately launched a new external campaign.
A year later, Chen Mo had become the most powerful lord within hundreds of kilometers, ruling a vast expanse of land and commanding an invincible and invincible group of heavily armored knights.
As the territory expanded, Chen Mo gradually focused his battle on eliminating werewolves, and the Knights were used more to protect the security of the territory.
The original knighthood of more than 100 people has expanded to more than 500 people, but most of them are not in the territory.
During this year, Chen Mo established a caravan, soap, glass, mirrors and many other livelihood items. Luxury goods were sold to most of Europe under the protection of the powerful knights, earning him a large amount of gold coins and supporting him.
military construction and territorial development, and is continuing to develop in other places.
Chen Mo, who carries tons of gold in space, is actually not short of money. The caravan is actually an intelligence organization he formed.
They opened shops in major cities and traveled between various territories to collect intelligence for him.
A familiar name finally appeared in Chen Mo's sight.
