They continued to surround Suno, which was considered to be the execution of King Gryphus's order.
Without further ado, King Gryfus saw the Swadian knights rushing down the hillside. Having fought against the Swadian army countless times, he already knew what he should do.
"Divide a part of the troops, use spears and shield walls to block the charge of the Swadian Knights, and the other part will follow me to defeat the Nord army here. This group of Nordic troops are already exhausted after a long journey, and they will not be able to withstand our charge. After we defeat this group of Nordic troops, we will reunite and attack Vols together." King Gryfus quickly gave orders to his subordinates. It is true that in terms of his military talent, the king is not the best on the continent, but he has rich combat experience. According to his pre-conceived ideas, he has many years of experience in fighting against Swadian Knights, so he quickly ordered his men to resist the charge of the Swadian Knights.
But all this was obviously prepared too late. After all, the Swadian Knights launched a sudden attack. For a while, the army of the Rhodok Kingdom was unable to establish an effective defensive formation. The long-haired men had not yet set up their shield wall or formed a line, and the Swaadian Knights had already arrived before them. However, King Gryphus led another part of his army to attack the Nordic Kingdom.
Facing an unformed army, Wals already knew that he had a sure win. He was holding a heavy lance at this moment, and wearing a helmet hindered his cause, but in front of him were shadows of enemy soldiers. Without any effort, Wals' heavy lance pierced the head of a Rhodok soldier. Yes, it hit the head directly, and the Rhodok soldier was killed on the spot. Immediately afterwards, large groups of Swadian knights launched a charge, and suddenly there was a wailing on the battlefield. The Rhodok soldiers fled for their heads in their hands, and some of the guys who stayed to fight bloody battles were beheaded by the Swadian knights who drew their knights' swords.
Originally, these Swadian knights should have been exhausted after resisting the attack of the Rhodok Kingdom today, but Wals was the first to let this group of Swadian knights rest, because he knew that the Rhodok Kingdom would definitely intercept the reinforcements of the Nord Kingdom. Therefore, Wals was the first to let this group of Swadian knights who were able to perform well in field combat rest.
Perhaps the energy of the Swadian knights has not yet recovered to its heyday, but it is more than enough to deal with this group of Rhodok Kingdom's defeated troops. After all, Wals adopted a sneak attack strategy, and King Gryfus has not yet established an effective defensive formation.
"Wols? Why are you here? Shouldn't you stay in Suno?"
The voice sounded familiar, and Walls turned around and saw a man he had just met today, Blackback Spear Manwell.
I didn't expect to see him again at dusk after just seeing him in the morning. I don't know if it's fate or destiny. This time, Wals will never be merciful. When dealing with his enemies, Wals will never give up any chance to kill them. The knight drew his sword from its scabbard. This time Wals was riding a horse to fight, so it was natural for him to change his sword.
Manwell, the Black Spear, saw the approaching Wals. He was frightened by the knight's sword in his hand, but fortunately, Manwell was not destined to die. There were dozens of Rhodok soldiers in front of him, so he didn't need to worry that Wals would suddenly kill him. Manwell held her black spear and quickly retreated. He wanted to return to King Griffus. not a good idea. He should fight Wals to death. Death on the battlefield was his ultimate fate. Returning to King Griffus in such a miserable state would definitely bring shame to him in his life.
However, Manwell could not care about so many things. He quickly ran towards King Griffithsford. After seeing his commander fleeing from the battlefield, his soldiers did not bother to fight against the Swadian knights and fled.
Perhaps they thought they had no chance of defeating this group of Swadian knights. As a standard Swadian knight, Emirida naturally followed Wals to fight against the soldiers of the Rhodok Kingdom. However, there was a servant following him. Judging from his figure, he looked like an ordinary woman. This was strange. The Swadian knights recruited by Wals were all men. How could there be a woman following Emirida?
This female knight is none other than Christina. This persistent guy has been following Emrida. Her father seems to have retired. As a noble of the Kingdom of Swadia, the Kingdom of Nord did not kill all the original nobles. course, they still had to be self-reliant. For Wals, what King Ragnar did was extremely beneficial to him. If King Ragnar killed all the nobles, would Christina stay with him? And will Emilida and those Swaadian knights follow me? rather die than bow to me.
At this moment, Christina and Aimirida led the juniors and defeated the Rhodok soldiers. They had heard about the horror of the Wadians since they were young, especially their heavy cavalry.
When they did not have an effective defensive formation, when heavy cavalry and infantry fought on the plains, it was often the heavy cavalry that won. Their charge could disrupt the favorable formation of the infantry. Once the formation was disrupted, the morale of the army would be shaken. The final result would naturally be that each would fight on their own. escape. Therefore, there were countless deserters on the battlefield, and very few Rhodok soldiers were actually killed.
Wals only brought more than 40 Swadian knights, and behind them were dozens of ordinary Nord light cavalry. The Nords were not good at fighting on horseback, but they still knew how to ride horses. This led to a few Nord light cavalry in the army of the Nord Kingdom. Their main role was to conduct reconnaissance and raids and harassment. The real main force still depended on the Nord infantry.
It can be said that Walls was very courageous. He dared to charge into the Rhodok army of more than 1,500 people with a cavalry team of less than 100 people. Such courage is truly admirable, and his Swadian knights are also truly admirable.
When Count Leyland saw the Rhodok soldiers running away, he knew that he had lost the battle. On the plain, the combat advantage of the Swaadian knights was fully utilized. Most of his elite soldiers went to fight against the group of Nord reinforcements. King Gryfus took command of the battlefield. Most of the Rhodok soldiers had to obey King Gryfus's orders. Count Leyland was not a top military talent, but he had rich combat experience like King Gryfus. about the Rhodok soldiers who still obeyed his orders, so he asked them to form a row of short shield walls in the back. The Rhodok crossbowmen aimed at the Swadian knights in the back.
However, the situation on this side was temporarily stabilized, but on the other side, more than a thousand reinforcements from the Nord Kingdom led by Thordenjar and more than 100 people of King Gryphus started a fierce battle.
Saltonjar instructs a young lord who does not have rich combat experience, but fortunately, Saltonjar has Hewitt by his side. Although Hewitt is also a young man, he is a military genius. Although he is not as good as Walls, he is much stronger than Saltonjar.
Thordenjar handed over half of the command of the battlefield to Hewitt. Although he felt a little contemptuous of Hewitt, who came from a merchant family, the gentle Thordenjar did not take it to heart. Instead, the other nobles of the Nord Kingdom looked down on Hewitt's merchant background and thought he was just an ordinary civilian.
Therefore, Hewitt only got the command of some of the Nord Kingdom soldiers, but with only these few Nord soldiers, Hewitt could still show his skills.
Hewitt quickly commanded his army to transform, and soon an effective combat formation was formed. In front was the Nord heavy infantry holding up shields, followed by the Nord light infantry, and at the end were the Nord archers. At the beginning of the war, Graves was eager to kill the group of Nord reinforcements in front of him, so he ordered his soldiers to attack quickly after the rain of arrows, and the Rhodok crossbowmen temporarily stopped shooting to prevent shooting their own people.
Although King Gryphus gave up the most advantageous way of fighting and chose to fight directly with the army of the Nord Kingdom, the infantry of the Nord Kingdom was the best recruited soldiers on the entire continent. They fought bravely and few people dared to confront them head-on. Although the infantry of the Rhodok Kingdom was also one of the best on the continent, it was still slightly inferior to the real Nord warriors.
However, the Nord Kingdom also has its own disadvantages. Those Nords were on the march, and they were exhausted after walking for a whole day. They could not cause any effective damage to the enemy. Therefore, this group of Nord soldiers were obviously at a disadvantage when they first clashed with the army of the Rhodok Kingdom.
Although Hewitt's temporary command temporarily suppressed the scene of such a rout, when a group of Rhodok soldiers rushed over, the Nord archers took the initiative to shoot at them. Although it was approaching dusk and the visibility dropped greatly, this also led to the Nord archers' poor accuracy. As we all know, the combat level of Nord archers is far inferior to that of Nord infantry. Therefore, after this wave of arrows, very few Rhodok soldiers could be killed.
Most of the Rhodok soldiers had already rushed to make money, and the Nord soldiers did not say much nonsense. Warriors are not afraid of death, and most of the Nords thought so. In the front was a group of Nord heavy infantry. They held hard shields and provided effective defense for the rear. Under Hewitt's clever arrangement, after the combat soldiers in the first row were tired of fighting, the soldiers in the second row would take over the first row and fight for them, while the soldiers in the first row could be replaced and go to the last row to rest. In the end, many Rhodok soldiers were killed and wounded, but the Nord army was able to stabilize its position.
But Hewitt could feel that his side was still at a disadvantage, because as time went on, Hewitt could see that the biggest problem his army faced was physical exhaustion. They were already exhausted after a day's walk, and after this battle, their fatigue had already shown. Hewitt calmly commanded his army to fight, and the group of Rhodok Kingdom soldiers pounced and bit like mad dogs, not letting this group of Nord soldiers have any chance to escape.
The Lord soldiers under Hewitt's command were okay, but the soldiers under Saltonjar's command on the other side were not satisfactory. Saltonjar's military command ability was far inferior to Hewitt's, so on Saltonjar's side, everyone could see that he was at a disadvantage.
Fortunately, they all knew that Walter had led reinforcements to rescue them. Yes, Count Leland could not resist Walter's Swadian Knights. Even if Count Leland had assembled an army to resist the charge of the Swadian Knights, under the iron hoofs of the Swadian Knights, this Rhodok army that had hastily assembled and deployed its troops was beaten to pieces. After the collapse, Count Wiland actually became Walter's prisoner.
“Walsh, if my subordinate Drewry was not here, I would never have been caught by you. Drewry will let you know how powerful the Rhodok Kingdom is.” The expression on Count Leland’s face was so unwilling, as if he had suffered a great loss. His heart was full of dissatisfaction. It was obvious that his side had the advantage in numbers, but he was still suppressed by Sister Walsh. Anyone would be dissatisfied, especially Count Leland, who was a man with extremely rich experience in combat command. Seeing such a good card in his hand but getting such an ending, how could he be willing?
"If your right-hand man Drewry were here, I would let him know how powerful the Nord Kingdom is, or how powerful I, Wals, am." Wals said not to be outdone. He was still waving the knight's sword in his hand. If he was not careful, he would most likely chop off Count Leland's head. Count Leland naturally knew that he had become a prisoner. As long as Wals moved his fingers, he would probably be beheaded. Although in most cases, Wals in front of him would never kill himself. At most, he would throw himself into the dungeon and wait for the end of the war, or wait for his family to pay the ransom to redeem him.
Things turned out just as Count Leland had guessed. Wals recruited a few Nord light cavalry to suppress Count Leland, while he himself led the remaining troops to rescue the reinforcements of the Nord Kingdom. This group of Nord troops who came to save themselves had to rely on Wals to save them in the end. It has to be said that this was a huge joke.
After the battle, the Swadian knights' physical strength was no longer as abundant as at the beginning, but Wals also knew that after a fierce battle with the Nordic army, the Rhodok army led by King Gryfus was exhausted. Therefore, Wals only needed to give an order and let his Swadian knights launch another round of charge, and the army led by King Gryfus would be destroyed in an instant.
And things were exactly as Wals had guessed. The army led by King Gryphus had Wals's back. It was simple for Wals to lead his knights to charge from behind this army. At that time, with the double-sided attack, this Rhodok army would collapse.
"My knights, now is the time for you to make achievements. Believe me, the enemies before us are just a group of ordinary sheep, but you are brave knights. Pick up your weapons, follow me and rush down to crush them severely. Let them know that they cannot be enemies with me, Wals." Wals had picked up the heavy lance in his hand, and the tip of the lance was pointing fiercely at the location of King Griffith. Yes, this time Wals decided to lead his knights to attack the location of King Griffith first.
To catch a thief, one must first catch the king. Once King Gryfusbo is captured, the remaining 100 troops of the Rhodok Kingdom will surely collapse.
The knights whistled past, and the sound of their horses neighing could be heard continuously. Dozens of cavalrymen rushed over from the back of the Rhodok Kingdom. Those soldiers with sharp ears heard the sound of the earth shaking, and turned back to investigate. What they saw shocked them. A group of Swadian knights actually picked up their lances and charged towards them. This was simply the god of death waving at them.
"Your Majesty, King Gryphus, look, look, a group of Swadian knights are attacking us from behind. It would be better if we leave here quickly and avoid the spotlight." A guard said to King Gryphus, his face full of fear.
"What? The Swadian knights led by Wals? That guy Count Leland was defeated." King Gryphus turned his head and looked behind him.
Just then, he could see the leader of the group of knights. King Gryphus saw the leading knight. He was wearing a helmet. In the sunset light at dusk, King Gryphus could not see his face at all. But judging from his breath, this guy was Wals. This was King Gryphus's own feeling.
King Gryfus thought about it and felt that he could not find a guy in his current army who could fight against Wals in a one-on-one fight. Perhaps Drewry under Earl Leland could compete with Wals, but unfortunately, Drewry had participated in the battle today and was exhausted, so Earl Leland put him among the 500 people who surrounded the city of Suno.
So, Drewry is not here at all, and there is no one here who can compete with Walls, so should I run away?
"No, I will never leave here. We have 100 people, and the other side has less than 100. We are being chased and beaten by the enemy. If this gets out, my reputation will be destroyed. Quick, gather the troops to stop that cavalry team. We will never let them get close to me." King Griffith almost shouted at his subordinates.
The army led by Earl Leyland was actually defeated by Wals. The number of Earl Leyland's army was several times that of Wals, but Wals was able to defeat the larger force with a smaller one. Naturally, Earl Leyland's reputation plummeted. However, the army led by King Gryfus was more than 100 people. If more than 100 people were defeated by Wals's less than 100 people, then King Gryfus' reputation would be even worse than that of Earl Leyland.
As a king, King Graves naturally knew how important prestige was to a king, so he would never allow his prestige to disappear. Therefore, King Graves would definitely defeat Walls. At least that's what he said in his heart.
At this moment, Vols's battle will surely go down in history and be written about in great detail.
