I was a knight in the Middle Ages

"Captain Alpha, Bach and his men are searching so frantically that they have already searched all the areas we are responsible for!" Nowadays, Bach has taken over almost all the work in the north and south, leaving Alpha and Freese in a situation with nothing to do.

"Lord Alpha, a large group of troops is approaching five kilometers to the northwest." Lilith was lying on the roof of the car, like a human telescope, but Li Lingfeng did not find any trace of the enemy.

"Lina, Rowling, inform Fries to intercept the enemy from both right sides. I will pass the message to Bach." Bach's troops were on the front line, and Alpha happened to inform them along the way.

"No, I want to go to the middle to stop them." Bach actually objected directly.

"Then you will be responsible for confronting the enemy head-on. You must make sure to find out in advance whether they are bandits or not." Alpha emphasized again. After all, Lilith could only see the crowd and could not distinguish between friend and foe.

Alpha led the knights to change direction immediately and go around from the side.

"You useless thing, you coward, you still have to rely on us." Bach's deputy spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground.

"Kill." Bach only asked for killing and didn't care about anything else.

"If you confirm that they are bandits, shoot them with crossbows first. You must save your own life." Alpha emphasized again.

"Yes, sir." Everyone shouted in unison.

Half of the people led by Alpha were acquaintances, not to mention Fattam and others. The remaining dozen or so were Will's soldiers, and they were very convinced of Alpha.

After confirming the identity of the bandit group, Alpha and others found that the bandit group was huge, with a large force of about 300 to 400 people. These people were not strong, but they were huge in number. The key was that there were more than 100 bandits around, which were actually the main force of the other party. There were still many scattered bandits around, and Alpha's knights were discovered as soon as they approached. The sneak attack plan could no longer be implemented, and they could only choose to face the enemy head-on.

"Shoot." Alpha ordered his crossbowmen to shoot arrows, repelling the besieging bandits. However, this was just a tentative attack by the scattered bandits around, and the enemy had just begun to attack.

The enemy's main force was waiting in the rear, and if they attacked forcefully, they would suffer heavy losses. Alpha was prepared to make full use of the cavalry's speed advantage, adopt outflanking tactics, harass the enemy, and use crossbows for long-range attacks. At least he would not take the initiative to attack until he had a numerical advantage.

However, Bach's troops disobeyed orders and chose to confront the enemy head-on.

Alpha repeatedly asked Bach to withdraw from the battle, but Bach did not follow his orders. Alpha could only change the mission to relieve Bach's pressure and let Fries harass and attack to kill the enemy's manpower.

"Lina, order Bach's troops to withdraw from the battle again, use the cavalry's speed advantage to harass and preserve our manpower." Alpha knew that traditional chivalry advocated facing the enemy head-on, and his behavior might be seen as cowardice. However, life was more important than anything else.

"Lord Alpha, Bach and the others simply don't obey orders." Lina was very embarrassed because this was the third time she had conveyed such an order.

"Go and pass the order immediately." Alpha knew that Bach's troops would not obey orders, but he still decided to notify them.

"Raise your shields and march in formation!" the bandit leader ordered. The well-equipped bandits, armed with swords and knives, marched in unison and charged at Bach's troops. Their eyes were filled with murderous intent and greed, as if Bach and his men were their prey.

The harassment attacks from Alpha's knights on both sides made the bandits furious, but they could not attack the knights on both sides, so they could only vent their anger on Bach's troops. After all, the number of the bandits' knights was not superior to that of Alpha's knights, so the success rate of the pursuit was not high.

"Close-range shooting." The bandits' raised shields greatly weakened the power of the Alpha Cavalry's crossbows. In order to increase the power of the crossbows, the Alpha Cavalry had to shorten the distance with the enemy, which also increased their own danger. If they did not adopt this tactic, Bach's troops would face the pressure of all the bandits, and defeat was inevitable.

"Kill, we are holy knights! We will not be cowards." Bach shouted loudly, while also condemning the cowardly behavior of Alpha and others.

The knights raised their spears and launched a fierce charge. The battle was fierce and everyone was fighting desperately.

The bandits' attacks became more and more fierce, and Bach's cavalry slowed down significantly. They could only use their spears to fend off the enemy's attacks.

So far, Bach's cavalry still has the advantage by relying on their equipment, but as everyone's physical strength drops sharply, failure is inevitable.

"We are holy knights, death is our final destination, kill." Bach's death declaration may be inspiring, but it is very stupid in Alpha's eyes.

"Lord Alpha, I'm afraid Bach's troops won't be able to hold out for much longer. Should we go and support them?" Lina was soft-hearted. Seeing Bach's troops caught in a melee, even though she was dissatisfied with Bach for disobeying orders first, she still couldn't bear it.

"The outcome of this battle... does not depend on the bravery and determination of Bach and the bandits, but on the environment and conditions they are in." Alpha pretended to be profound and kept the question in suspense.

"Ah? What do you mean, Lord Alpha?" Lina didn't understand, but she felt that these words were very meaningful.

"Even though Bach is so brave, it cannot determine the outcome of the battle. The outcome of the battle depends on the periphery. If we charge in now, we will just end up in the same situation as Bach. It will be meaningless except for getting caught in a melee and increasing casualties." After all, a merciful army cannot be commanded, and Bach's troops are not in a desperate situation. The advantage of the cavalry is speed. If Bach can't hold on, he can definitely break out of the siege.

"Lina, go inform Frith that they can't act rashly unless the enemy cavalry is defeated." Alpha knew that the key to the outcome of this battle was the outcome of the cavalry. Even if Bach killed all 300 infantrymen, it would not determine anything. Similarly, even if the infantry swallowed up Bach's troops, it would not affect the outcome of this battle.

"Fatam, you lead all the heavy-armored knights to continue shooting from the periphery. The remaining holy knights, charge with me and use the half-moon formation." Alpha was unwilling to use his cavalry to get involved in a fight with the infantry. Even if the casualty ratio was one to two, it would not be worth it in the end.

"Kill!" Everyone became excited when they heard the order to kill. After all, the glory of a knight is achieved on the battlefield.

The forty-man knight squad quietly charged towards the enemy like ghosts, ruthlessly tore open the infantry's defense like hungry wolves, and then took a fierce bite. Finally, before the infantry could react, they swaggered away from the war zone.

After three consecutive raids and sabotages, coupled with Bach's brave fighting, the infantry bandits had lost one-third of their forces.

At the same time, the bandit cavalry outflanked Alpha's knights, forcing Alpha's cavalry to turn their horses to deal with the new threat. This allowed the bandit infantry to concentrate their main forces and launch a more fierce attack on Bach's troops.

Although Bach's cavalry fought bravely, their disadvantages in terrain and manpower gradually became apparent. Facing the bandits' spears and shields, Bach's cavalry found it difficult to exert their advantages, and instead their physical strength and combat effectiveness were constantly consumed.

As time went on, Bach's cavalrymen began to realize the predicament they were facing, and they began to hesitate and fear. They didn't know whether they could defeat the enemy, or whether this battle was meaningful. They felt that their beliefs and values ​​were challenged, and their hearts began to suffer.

At this critical moment, Bach realized that he needed to take some action to boost morale and stand firm, so he shouted loudly: "We are holy knights, death is our highest honor, kill." Bach's words inspired the fighting spirit of the cavalry and cheered them up again.

"The second and third squads will go around to the rear to fight, and the first squad will charge with arrowheads and use the penetration tactic." Faced with the bandit cavalry's intrusion, Alpha knew that he could not continue to consume the resources and had to fight quickly and decisively, otherwise Bach's troops would be completely wiped out.

"First squad, go!" Fattam led ten heavily armored cavalrymen, who charged into the bandit infantry like a black storm. The light cavalry that followed charged in like killing machines, quickly killing the enemies in front of them.

The heavy cavalry charged into battle with unstoppable force, but as the battle progressed, their speed rapidly decreased. Once they lost their speed, the cavalry's greatest advantage would also be lost.

At this moment, the second and third teams had already rushed in. Alpha seemed to have anticipated this. When the heavy-armored knights were at the end of their rope, the rush of the light cavalry was undoubtedly a shot in the arm.

"Reorganize and prepare to charge!" Alpha's troops had just rushed out when the enemy cavalry approached, so they had no choice but to reorganize their formation.

As for Bach's troops, they were no longer able to provide support. Bach's troops still had more than 30 people, and the bandit infantry still had about a hundred people, so it was not a difficult task.

Alpha's heavily armored knights launched intermittent attacks, killing at least seventy or eighty bandits. Together with the three previous fights, Alpha's troops killed around one hundred and fifty bandits. Adding to the performance of Bach's troops, the bandit infantry lost at least two hundred and fifty people.

More than 30 cavalrymen fighting against more than 100 infantrymen could have killed a large number of them. However, Bach still did not realize the problem and did not take advantage of the cavalry, and continued to fight with the infantry.

"Lina, let Friis's troops keep an eye on and pursue the enemy's main force. I want to take down this wave of enemies." Alpha decided to swallow up the nearly seventy or eighty bandit cavalrymen in front of him.

"Lord Alpha, I will stay to help. Let Rowling go and deliver the message!" Lina was reluctant to leave and wanted to join the battle.

"Lina, call the police immediately." Alpha ordered loudly.

"Yes." Lina had no choice but to ride her horse towards Friis's troops, trying to come back as soon as possible to join the fight.

"Team one and team two, hold the enemy head-on, and the rest of you, follow me and attack from the right side." Alpha planned to use a goose-circling formation, but due to the small number of people, they could only concentrate their forces on one side. This formation was more like a scorpion's tail hook.

"Yes." Without any hesitation, Fattam immediately launched a suicidal charge, moving forward bravely and without looking back.

Dozens of spears stabbed straight at the enemy, and the enemy had nowhere to hide under the high-speed charge. Fattam's powerful force was like the wrath of thunder, nailing three enemy knights to the spears. The spears hung down weakly, and Fattam held the sword tightly with both hands.

The heavily armored knight brandished his great sword and led dozens of soldiers behind him to charge. However, the bandit knights in front were brave and courageous, and their numbers were so large that it was despairing.

In this tragic charge, Fatam was nearly knocked down by the enemy several times, but each time, she managed to stabilize herself at the last moment and continued to charge forward. The roars of the soldiers were mixed with pain and indomitable spirit.

The three Alpha troops on Fatam's right were also under tremendous pressure. They faced dense enemy cavalry, and due to the lack of speed advantage, it was difficult for them to penetrate the enemy's battle formation.

"Follow me!" Alpha threw down his spear and chose the sword. In an instant, Alpha launched the power of discipline shock, and no one could stop him.

"Kill!" Seeing that the captain was standing alone against the enemy and had killed a dozen bandit cavalrymen in the blink of an eye, everyone's morale was high and the cavalrymen roared and charged forward.

The battle was extremely brutal and everyone had wounds on their bodies. Although these wounds were not fatal, they were gradually consuming the soldiers' physical strength and energy.

Alpha, who was at the forefront of the battle, was also under tremendous pressure. Although he had exerted his most powerful ability, the enemy's cavalry seemed endless.

"Lord Alpha, Freese's troops are engaged in a fight with enemy cavalry. Please request support." Suddenly, Lina's voice came from a distance.

However, the signal for help became the last straw that broke the camel's back in the eyes of the enemy.

In an instant, the cavalry bandits that Alpha faced were defeated, and the pressure on everyone disappeared instantly.

"Charge! Kill."

In the end, Alpha's troops won the final victory at the cost of five deaths and thirteen injuries. Looking at the bandits fleeing in all directions, Alpha did not order a pursuit. There were only a dozen of them, which would not affect the overall situation. The key was that there was no time, and Freese's troops had to provide support.

"Leave the wounded to be treated and clean up the battlefield, and the rest of you follow me to charge." Alpha was panting heavily and had no time to rest before he got on his horse again.

"Lina, go cut off the heads of ten enemies and hand them over to me." Alpha seemed to have other purposes and instructed Lina, who was full of energy, to take action.

Alpha left fifteen people to clean up the battlefield. Five seriously wounded soldiers needed treatment, and ten lightly wounded soldiers were left behind in case of emergency to prevent the enemy from making a counterattack.

On the other side, Fries's troops were already engaged in a melee with the remaining bandit cavalry. Fifty men against seventy, a head-on battle, in the end the price of victory for either side would be huge.

However, the bandit leader was very confident. In another direction, ninety cavalrymen were charging at Alpha's troops, who had just experienced a frenzied battle. The bandit leader believed that the enemy in this direction would soon be able to resolve the battle. By then, the knights would surely be defeated by the pincer attack from both sides. Therefore, he only needed to delay the enemy now.

"Lord Alpha, what do you want the head for?" Lina was full of energy and quickly caught up after completing the task.

"Leave it to me. You go and inform Freese. If you see anything unusual behind the enemy, kill them immediately with all your strength. Then you stay in Freese's unit and kill the enemy in battle." Alpha made a circle, preparing to cut in from the enemy's side.

"Yes." Fortunately, Jiying's speed and endurance were strong enough for Lina to hold on.
