The wind is cold and the sun is setting in the west.

The battle of Walloon Fort has come to an end. The siege team that gathered the "Palace Guards" and local elite infantry spent half an afternoon clearing the remaining enemies and obstacles between the outer wall of Walloon Fort and the inner fort, and then

He clenched his fist and smashed into the stubborn inner castle tower of the Swabian people.

Art left the battle of the inner fortress to Odo, and he himself led the guards to patrol around, clearing out the remaining Swabian soldiers who might be hiding in houses and shacks in the streets, and supervising his own soldiers not to violate military orders and steal loot from friendly forces.

.

In a stable in the fort, the guards captured a Swabian soldier who was hiding in a dung pile. He was seriously injured during the offensive and defensive battle on the outer wall in the morning. The battle was fierce and there was no one to treat him. The Swabian soldiers killed him.

After dragging it here, I threw it down to support the battle on the wall.

At noon, the outer wall fell. Seeing the Burgundian army attacking Wallonburg, the wounded soldier had no choice but to hide in a pile of livestock dung...

Ron dragged out the wounded soldier who was covered in cow and horse excrement, and pointed his sword at the guy on the ground who was covered in blood and smelled like stench.

The wounded Swabian soldier on the ground kept crying and begging, hoping that Art would spare his life.

Art looked at the wound on the wounded Swabian soldier's abdomen that was covered in feces and said calmly: "If you can't save him, kill him."

After saying that, he walked aside and took off the water bag containing ale from his waist and took a sip. He watched Ron pull out the wooden-handled hunting knife from his waist, leaned over and strangled the head of the wounded Swabian soldier, and the hunting knife cut the wounded soldier's neck.

The blood vessels on his body gushed out along the wound of the wounded soldier.

The movements were completed in one go, without any sloppiness.

At this time, Odo, whose armor was stained with blood, ran over and found Art. He glanced at the Swabian enemy soldier who was convulsing on the ground with Ron's throat cut, and said to Art: "Sir, the inner fort has been breached.

We captured the Swabian garrison commander, who hacked to death seven or eight Burgundian civilians who had been captured in the castle, then laid down his weapons and walked out."

"That guy is really not a good guy. The two knights and a group of soldiers around him were almost killed in the battle, but he himself asked us to give him the courtesy of a noble prisoner of war with a stern face. If it weren't for the friendly brothers, we would keep him in exchange for a ransom.

, I really want to split his head open with an axe."

Art handed the water bag in his hand to Odo, looked at the smoke-filled inner fort, and said: "Forget it, it's not easy for the guys in the local army. They have been fighting for a month and they just hope to get out of Wallonburg."

Seize some loot and ransom, and let this Swabian dog live a few more days."

"Reiterate the military order to the soldiers. No one is allowed to compete with friendly soldiers for trophies without my permission. After the war is over, I will issue military rewards according to the size of the military merit."

Art was worried that if he competed with the local army for the spoils, not only might there be trouble, but he might also be unable to secure the first attack to recapture Wallonburg. After all, he only fought the last battle in the entire war, and the local army had paved the way with their lives.

Okay.

"By the way, the battle here is over. Let the baggage team immediately start setting up a rescue center to treat the wounded soldiers. The wounded soldiers of the friendly forces will also be treated. Then the outer walls and inner city will be strengthened to guard against possible enemy reinforcements."

"Yes!" Otto took a sip of the ale in Art's water bag, returned the water bag to Art, and left.

Art glanced at Ron who was wiping the blood on his hunting knife, and ordered: "Ron, the battle in Wallonburg is over. You immediately take two guards to the east ferry to intercept the battlefield and check the situation. The sergeant major and the others have not been there yet.

I'm a little worried about sending someone to reply."

"Master, I'll go right away."

Ron put the hunting knife into the leather sheath on his waist, called the two guards and walked towards the hitching post at the castle gate.

As soon as Ron came to the hitching post, a cavalryman from the Sentinel Cavalry galloped into the gate of Wallonburg.

"Hey~" Reid restrained the raging war horse with his left hand, and his entire right arm was soaked in blood.

"Ron, sir, where is Sir?" Reid asked anxiously.

"Master, what happened in the castle?" Ron stopped untying the horse's reins and looked at Reid nervously.

"The battle at the ferry was defeated, the Swabian cavalry~ rushed over!"

"ah!!!"

"Hurry up and follow me to find the master~"

Ron turned around and led Red to where Art was...

............

"Sir, we are defeated! The enemy has heavy cavalry, the infantry collapsed, and our cavalry was scattered." Reid ran a little hastily and was out of breath.

"Sir, the Swabian cavalry is coming, right behind!" Ron added.

Reid swallowed, took a breath, and said: "Yes, Lord Angus doesn't know that the outer wall has been broken. He is leading the sentries and the remaining friendly cavalry to harass and delay the Swabian heavy cavalry. Let me run first."

Come back and ask you to retreat or defend against the enemy."

Art had no time to ask where the Swabian heavy cavalry appeared, and hurriedly led people to the crenellations on the outer wall of the east gate of Wallonburg...

............

The cavalry team assembled by the Count of Burgundy had been dispersed in the cavalry battle at the ferry, leaving more than ten cavalry dead or injured. After that, the remaining cavalry broke through or were dispersed.

After the Swabian cavalry defeated the infantry at the ferry and dispersed the mixed cavalry, the light cavalry was left behind to drive away the remaining enemies and clean up the battlefield. Then more than thirty heavy cavalry rode across the ferry towards Wallonborg...

..

Compared with several other cavalry teams, the cavalry of the Sentinel Cavalry are relatively lucky. In addition to Reid who reported the news, there are still four cavalrymen including deputy captain Jafar who are still with Angus.

The five men gathered three or five local cavalry who had escaped along the way and formed a cavalry team temporarily commanded by Angus. They caught up with the Swabian cavalry team rushing to the direction of Wallenberg. With the help of the light cavalry, they were relatively flexible.

The advantage was used to harass and delay the heavily armored Swabian cavalry.

............

One mile outside the east gate of Wallonburg, two cavalry teams were running and fighting.

Angus controlled the horse with his left hand, and with his right hand he took out the last throwing spear from the saddle bag on the back of the horse. He raised the throwing spear, turned the reins, and rushed towards the Swabian cavalry formation sixty steps away on the left. Behind Angus

A group of cavalrymen also raised their spears or drew their swords, axes and hammers and followed closely.

Approaching the Swabian heavy cavalry team for more than 20 steps, Angus released the reins with his left hand and grabbed the front saddle. He leaned back, tilted the tip of the spear with his right hand, then pulled hard with his left hand, and drove it with his waist and abdomen.

The body instantly bent forward, and the spear was thrown out, flying straight towards the Swabian cavalry formation...

Bang~

A Swabian cavalryman's horse was hit by a spear and fell to the ground with a thud. A galloping horse behind him was also kicked over, causing chaos.

The Swabian cavalry originally wanted to rush to the outer wall of Walloon Castle as soon as possible to harass the enemy troops attacking the city and reduce the pressure on the defenders inside the city, but after being harassed all the way, they finally couldn't stand the Burgundian light cavalry.

The Swabians sent five heavy cavalry to separate into formations and charge towards Angus and the others.

"Retreat!" Angus hit the target without stopping. He pulled the reins to the right, and the horse ran to the right wing close to the ground.

Jafar had already finished throwing his spear, and he was holding a riding bow in his hand. He adjusted the reins to keep up with Angus's horse, then let go of the reins, letting the horse run on its own, and then he opened the bow and nocked an arrow with his body.

He leaned left and twisted back, aiming at the chasing Swabian cavalry on the jumping horse.

Boom~

The armor-piercing rhombus arrow left Jafar's riding bow, twisting the arrow body and flying towards a heavy cavalryman galloping towards him with a riding gun~

This Swabian heavy cavalry is fully armored and wears a barrel helmet. Even the horse beneath him has its chest and neck covered with horse armor. A moving iron tower is not afraid of arrows coming from the front, so the Swabian cavalry has no fear of arrows coming from the front.

No evasive action was taken.

However, the Swabian cavalry underestimated Jafar's shooting skills. Jafar's arrows avoided the armor of the cavalry and the horse, and nailed straight into the ankle bone just above the horse's hoof. The horse's front hooves hurt and lost its balance.

, his body rolled to the ground, slamming the heavy armored cavalry on horseback to the ground, breaking his neck~

A heavy cavalry fell off his horse and fell to death. The enemy was another light cavalry. The Swabian heavy cavalry chased for dozens of steps and saw the enemy cavalry running further and further away, so they stopped and turned to pursue the group...

............

"Sergeant, what a blessing! Our army has captured Wallonburg!" A cavalryman from the Sentinel Cavalry had already seen several heraldic flags flying on the outer wall of Wallonburg.

"Let's go! Take a detour back to the ferry and see if we can find Lusignan, Master Felix and the others~" Seeing that the siege army had already defended the city, Angus did not bother to let the panting horse under him rest for a moment.

, immediately turned the horse's head and rushed towards the east ferry...

............

Eight miles north of the ferry battlefield, at the junction of plains and dense forests, seven or eight scattered Burgundian cavalry fled here. Most of them were exhausted, and two seriously injured horses fell to the ground.

Lusignan and Felix were among them.

During the ferry blocking battle, when the Burgundian light and heavy mixed cavalry rushed into the Swabian cavalry formation, they failed to pierce the enemy's formation. When the two cavalry were fighting in a melee, they were trampled to pieces by the Swabian heavy cavalry.

The infantry formation in the front line collapsed.

The scattering of the infantry caused the Swabian cavalry to escape. They ignored the crumbling infantry and turned around to surround the Burgundian cavalry who were trapped in the formation...

The infantry had collapsed, and seeing that the cavalry was about to be destroyed, the improvised Burgundian cavalry captains ordered to retreat to protect themselves.

But how could the cavalry who had smashed into the enemy's formation retreat so easily? They were bitten hard by the Swabian cavalry.

In the end, only about a dozen cavalrymen successfully escaped, while nearly twenty other cavalrymen were left in the enemy formation and struggled to break through.

During the melee, Angus and Jafar used their superb riding skills and mounted combat abilities to break through the siege of the Swabians, and led three or four sentry cavalry to rush out.

Lusignan originally had a chance to break out, but in the chaos he caught a glimpse of Felix, who was shot down from his horse, and his personal entourage who was guarding him against the Swabian cavalry, so Lusignan rushed forward regardless of the danger.

Fortunately, the primary goal of the Swabian heavy cavalry was to rush to the aid of Wallonia Castle, so they saw that the Burgundian army had been defeated, leaving a dozen light cavalry to pursue the remnants of the enemy and clean up the battlefield, then crossed the crossing and ran westward.

Lusignan, who was under less pressure, picked up the seriously injured Felix and mounted his horse across the horse, and escaped through the gap...
