Chapter 20 The Great Victory

The leader of Highlander had a good idea, but he misestimated the combat effectiveness of the regular army directly under Leiner, and overestimated the combat effectiveness of the tribal fighters under him.

He actually wanted to reverse the current situation with a dozen people. It has to be said that he was just wishful thinking.

Before these tribal fighters arrived at their destination, the defeated soldiers behind the Klader array flocked to them frantically. I just want to escape from that terrible place where I will die as soon as possible.

Just like that, more than a dozen tribal warriors were instantly overwhelmed by the flow of people. Before they even reached the place where the chaos occurred, they were hindered by the defeated Klades and lost their formation.

The knights who rushed in didn't care about this. Although the speed of their horses was slowed down by the Kraders, they could still use the sharp long swords in their hands to harvest the lives of the enemy. They have turned into meat grinders one by one, dividing and strangling them crazily.

And some lucky Kladers escaped the killing of the knights by chance, and when they were feeling secretly happy, Leiner led the infantry to rush up. The infantry who appeared at this time was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back , Without encountering any resistance, he directly led the infantry to tear apart the enemy's formation, no, not tearing it apart, but directly routed, a complete rout, a huge rout.

This disintegration spread directly from the rear to the front of the Krader formation. The knights had just pierced through the enemy from the rear, and before the infantry pressed up through the gap, the enemy collapsed completely.

"Long live!"

"victory!"

"Damn the Klades are defeated!"

"We defeated the enemy!"

The soldiers cheered loudly, their mood was extremely joyful, there was only one winner, and in this battle, they were undoubtedly the winners.

The shouts became louder and louder, and the soldiers started to encircle and suppress the collapsed people. A strange thing happened. Only four or five people in the Morland army were able to chase and kill more than a dozen Klades. How could their physical fitness and running speed compare with the long-term training and running of the Merland German army, so they would soon be chased and killed by wolf-like soldiers after fleeing for a while.

Although they didn't have armor like the Morland army, the multi-layered animal skins they put on to keep warm also added a lot of burden to them.

"Hold on! Warriors of the tribe! Your ancestors are watching you! Hold on to me! For the glory of our ancestors!" the leader of Highlander roared frantically, trying to restore the morale of the team.

But the army was defeated like a mountain. If they collapsed, everything would be over. It would be almost impossible to regain morale and gather together. No matter how much he shouted, failure was already doomed. They dispersed according to Sir Wallas' instructions, and pursued the fleeing enemies in groups of three or four.

However, they did not pursue for long, and soon they withdrew from the battle, because the horses under their crotches could no longer bear it, and galloping in the snow required more physical strength. , and also bear the knights wearing full-body chain armor and their equipment, they can feel the slight trembling of the horses under their crotches, if they continue to fight, it is very likely that the horses will fall to death.

Not only the horses of the Merland knights, but even the horses of the Scarlet Griffon knights began to pant slightly, which shows how much such a fierce battle consumes the horses' physical strength.

War horses are a scarce resource in this era, and usually a qualified war horse is much more expensive than a full set of chain armor.

Anyway, the overall situation has been decided, even if they withdraw from the battle, they will still win, so why bother with a precious war horse?

The pursuit went on for a long time,

A large number of Klades lost their lives here, and no more than three hundred managed to escape.

When the enemy completely disappeared from sight, cheers resounded throughout the battlefield. They roared and laughed, and raised their spears and dung forks to celebrate. This is a great victory, and they face the invasion of the Klades every year. The Moreland family would choose to hide in the castle.

It was the first winter that the soldiers didn't need to hide in the castle as long as the soldiers could remember, so they felt very honored that they had defended their homeland.

After arriving, he can proudly say to his family and children that I once fought bloody battles on the northern border, won the victory, and defended my homeland.

What an honor this is. In the village, they will also become respected people, not to mention that the baron will exempt them from 10% of the tax for a year.

"Long live the Baron!"

"victory!"

"Long live the Moland family!"

Soldiers clustered around Rainer, clustered around the master who led them to victory. The red-bottomed iris lion flag of the Moreland family was hunting in the bitter north wind, and the victory flew to the endless along with the wind and frost. In this dark age, victory is a man's greatest success.

Under the enthusiastic eyes of the soldiers, Reiner took off the helmet on his head in high spirits, revealing his slightly immature cheeks that were flushed due to strenuous exercise and excitement.

His joy was not only because of the victory of this war, because the system also judged that his task was completed at this time.

"Ding, mission completed!"

"You defended the territory against the invasion of the Klade people, and at the same time gained yourself a huge reputation, and the rewards began to be distributed."

"Get: 300 acres of fertile land, one hero draw!"

"Lord Baron, you have made a wise decision! You have a wonderful command! The martial arts are extremely powerful, and the Clades are fleeing under your prestige like voles!"

The knights also came to Leiner's side and expressed their admiration and respect to him. This time, Leiner finally relied on his own talent to convince the loyal but proud knights under him.

"Everyone, this victory is not only due to me, you have also made your own great contributions! Thank you, my dear knights!" Leiner glanced at the knights who took off their helmets and bowed their heads slightly to express their admiration They said with a smile.

"Such a victory must be celebrated with a grand banquet! I will hold a three-day banquet in the castle, my knights, this is your celebration banquet!"

Reiner waved his hand and said to the knights, this time he was very happy about his stable position, and he was finally able to completely control the land of Fort Morland.

A war completely raised his prestige, and he became the undisputed master of the Fort Murland area.

"Clean up the battlefield lads! Try to catch some captives! They are still very useful to us!" Leiner said to the soldiers. Although the Kraders are extremely poor, they can still sell some money for their animal skins. I plan to distribute one-third of these things to the soldiers, one-third to the knights, and then take one-third for myself.
