I was a knight in the Middle Ages

"Go! Kill them all!" With the bandit leader's order, countless bandits rushed out from their hiding places like hungry tigers out of their cages and rushed towards the Holy Knights. The soldiers of the Holy Knights quickly deployed battle formations, and the two sides were about to engage in a fierce battle.

"Will's regiment on the right, Rowling's regiment on the left, maintain formation, and act as a whole with ten cavalrymen. Do not disperse. Shoot with crossbows and kill the enemy's active forces." Looking at the bandits surrounding them, Alpha made a prompt decision and gave the order.

"Lilya, lead a hundred knights to go around the rear." Alpha led the remaining cavalry to fight head-on.

But what Alpha complained about the most was that the Bilis Mountain was two kilometers ahead, and he didn't expect that there was an enemy force behind him. If the enemy didn't attack him, but directly attacked the frontline reserves, the frontline knights would be attacked from both sides, and failure would be inevitable. Alpha was full of worries.

However, in fact, the scouts in front had already cleared the surroundings, but Mueller ordered all the knights to rush to the front line, resulting in no knights stationed behind. The ones who were attacking the Alpha Knights now came from other places to support them, and they just happened to meet the Alpha Knights.

On the battlefield, combining the real and the fake is a common strategy. Alpha borrowed the combat concept from "The Art of War" and adopted this strategy. Alpha first used a small force to launch a feint attack, constantly concentrating the enemy towards the front line. After the main force of the enemy gathered in the front, the main force used the speed advantage of the cavalry to bypass the rear and launch a fierce attack.

This tactic can not only easily kill the enemy's main force, but also effectively solve the problem of insufficient manpower. After all, Alpha can only command less than 500 knights. Alpha knows that as long as he makes full use of the combat strategy of combining virtual and real, he will definitely win this battle.

After three hours of fierce fighting, Alpha's Holy Knights finally won and successfully cleared out the surrounding bandits.

"Captain, the guy you're optimistic about is not that good. It took so long to deal with hundreds of bandits. You must guarantee that the battle can be over in an hour." Although the battle was over, the captains of the Knights of Discipline were not satisfied with Alpha's performance.

"You can't use your own Discipline Knights' power to measure others, you should compare it with his power. If you were him, with the same power, how far could you go?" Arthur thought Alpha's fighting method was good, but he was too concerned about the casualties of his soldiers. If he could be a little more cruel, the battle could have ended faster.

"If I were him, I would lead the cavalry to launch the most violent charge, and then kill the enemy in one fell swoop." A captain was obviously a murderous warrior who was good at charging and killing.

"This is a forest and a mountainous area, which is not suitable for a large-scale cavalry charge." Another captain finally understood why Alpha dispersed the cavalry and attacked in the form of cavalry squads.

"Even if I can't charge as a group, I can still use the advantages of cavalry to charge into the battlefield and deal a fatal blow to the enemy." The knight captain was obviously a little unconvinced.

"You did charge in, but the enemy has twice as many people as you. There is no room for a charge here. If the cavalry charges into the enemy formation, according to the general rules of killing the enemy, the enemy and our losses will be one to two.

Even if you kill all the enemies, your own cavalry will also be exhausted. And if the enemy sees the wrong opportunity and flees in all directions, you will not be able to stop so many people. "Another captain retorted. Judging from Alpha's losses, it will not exceed one-tenth, which can be said to be a great victory.

"They are not knights. The true spirit of chivalry is fighting on the frontal battlefield, not using bows and arrows, not flanking, and certainly not scheming and plotting." This is probably the other party's last stubbornness.

"Only the outcome counts on the battlefield, and only the winner is qualified to write history." Arthur couldn't say it too bluntly, some truths had to be understood by oneself.

"Lina, organize people to clean up the battlefield and rescue the wounded. Lilia, please lead the reconnaissance team to survey the surrounding terrain and be sure to make a sand table within three hours." Time is running out, and Alpha must arrange everything against the clock.

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."

This is a matter of life and death for Alpha and others, but for Arthur it is just an insignificant performance.

"From now on, you are fully responsible for all the Holy Knights. If we cannot capture the enemy camp within one day, you will lead the charge." Arthur only cared about the results.

"Yes." Alpha had no choice but to accept the task.

"Fris, you lead the troops to clean up all the bandits around." No wonder there were no cavalry stationed outside. The superiors only gave them one day, and there was no need at all. According to Arthur's request, within one day, Alpha must win, or die on the front line. There was no need to worry about the subsequent tasks.

"Captain Will, come with me to the front line to take a look." Alpha needed to know the situation of the enemy camp and then arrange the combat plan based on the information.

After two days and two nights of bloody fighting, the surrounding territories had sent nearly a thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry. However, now some were dead, some were injured, and only one-third survived.

At this rate, Alpha's troops will be engaged in battle in the evening and continue this meaningless meat-mincing war.

When Alpha arrived at the front line, the scene before him made him feel palpitating. The battlefield was littered with corpses and blood, and the air was filled with the disgusting smell of blood and gunpowder.

Alpha and Captain Will crossed the front line and came to the enemy camp to observe the enemy situation.

The enemy's stronghold was a solid stone stronghold, surrounded by high walls with archers and catapults on top. The gate was closed, and only a narrow mountain road led to the stronghold. At the end of the mountain road was a tower, on which stood countless tall warriors, holding long swords and standing proudly.

Alpha carefully observed the enemy situation and found that there was a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us. The enemy had more troops than ours, and they had the advantage of being high above us, making it difficult for our army to break through the enemy camp.

Alpha felt an invisible pressure coming over him and realized that this battle would be extremely difficult.

"Captain Alpha, we have tried our best, but we are unable to break into the enemy camp."

When a captain reported to him, Alpha nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, we must find a way to break through the enemy camp, otherwise our Holy Knights will be wiped out."

Therefore, Alpha convened an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures with the leaders.

Finally, everyone decided to use fire attack, using the high temperature and smoke to destroy the walls and towers of the enemy camp.

Alpha immediately organized the soldiers of the Holy Knights, selected some elite archers and slingshot drivers, and set up positions on both sides of the mountain road.

He ordered the soldiers to climb up the sides of the mountain and set fire to them, and used archers and falling rocks to continuously launch rockets and incendiary bombs into the enemy camp.

Suddenly, the bandit camp was engulfed in flames and smoke. The enemies in the camp were panicked and fled in all directions.

However, this situation is only temporary.

The enemy's stone fortress was not afraid of the flames, and soon the enemy reduced the number of people coming and going from outside, using shields to protect their heads to reduce casualties. Slowly, the front line turned into a meat grinder of death.

"Captain Alpha, this doesn't seem to be working very well?" Will sighed as he looked at the battle situation on the front line. Alpha's plan didn't work very well.

This fortress is located between three mountains, 50 meters above the ground, and is not connected to the surrounding mountains. Even if you climb up the mountain, you can't directly attack the enemy camp except by using rockets.

"It's okay. At least our casualties have been reduced a lot. Let them send the wounded out, carry the seriously injured away, and let the lightly injured be responsible for the outer perimeter guard, and our people will be replaced." The problem was that the mountainous area could not accommodate too many people, so people had to be sent up in batches to die.

"There is no other way. If we can't resolve the battle tomorrow afternoon, our fate will be to die on the battlefield." Looking at Will's face, Alpha knew that Will cherished his knight. It was already dark, and Alpha didn't have much time left.

"Alpha, do you want to send someone to climb up when it gets dark?" Will knew that Alice seemed to have used this method before and it seemed to work well.

"It won't work here. The enemy's city wall has been painted. Unless you are an expert in rock climbing, ordinary people can't climb up." Alpha rejected this method.

"Is the catapult ready?" Alpha was still strengthening his long-range attack capability.

"The first batch of catapults has been built, but due to material limitations, objects weighing more than ten kilograms cannot be thrown into the enemy camp." Will has already tested it, and the simple catapult is not very effective.

"Throw in anything you can!" Alpha shouted impatiently.

"Alpha, calm down first, we need you." Will knew very well that without Alpha's clever plan, it would be difficult for everyone to escape unscathed.

"You go and supervise them. All long-range attacks cannot stop." Alpha asked Lina to bring cold water and forced himself to calm down.

……

"Lord Alpha, no matter what happens, I will be with you." Lina lay on Alpha's chest and comforted him softly.

"If we can't defeat the enemy this time, there will be no future." Although Alpha has lived here for less than three months, he has already adapted to this world, has friends, comrades, and his beloved woman. He hopes to live here forever.

"Lord Alpha, as long as I'm with you, I will always be with you, no matter through mountains of swords or seas of fire." Lina is not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, but she is afraid of being alone in the end.

"Let me be quiet for a moment. I need to think carefully. I won't let anything happen to you." Alpha lay in the chair with his eyes closed and thought.

"Now the enemy relies on the fortress. Without explosives and artillery, it will be very difficult to deal with." Alpha seemed to be talking to himself. As for explosives, Alpha only remembered one nitre, two sulfur and three charcoal. How could he find these things now?

"Explosives? What explosives?" Lina was about to leave to let Alpha calm down, but she seemed to have heard something incredible.

"Lina, what did you just say?" Alpha suddenly opened his eyes.

"Ah, I didn't say that! Lord Alpha, what explosives did you mention just now?" Lina was confused by Alpha.

"Yes, that's right." Alpha excitedly pushed Lina onto the table.

"Lord Alpha, what do you want to do?" Lina's face flushed, thinking that Alpha needed to release some energy.

"Yes, it's dynamite." Alpha already had some ideas in his mind at this moment.

"Lina, what are you doing?" Alpha was confused when he saw Lina, who was lying on the table and had taken off her pants.

However, when Alpha looked at Lina's alluring body, his own body also reacted. Alpha couldn't help but lie down, and the two began the most primitive physiological impulse.

"Lord Alpha." Rowling suddenly rushed in.

"How could you do this? We are working hard outside, but you are having fun here." Her face turned red, but she didn't go out.

"By the way, I have something to tell you. I need flour, lime powder, chili powder, and charcoal powder. The more the better, it will be very useful." Alpha did not stop his movements.

"So what's my reward?" she asked, blushing as she came closer.

"After this mission, I will reward you and let you do what I am doing." Alpha knew that Rowling had always wanted to get her to consolidate her position in the team, and she was afraid that she would be kicked out by Alpha. It was just because she had been abused in the bandit camp that she did not dare to take the initiative, fearing that Alpha would dislike her body.

"Don't regret what you said."

"Hurry up and prepare it for me. I'm going to need it later in the night." Alpha slapped Rowling on the butt. There was no way to get explosives now, but we could create a similar effect.

"Alpha, why did you gather everyone here in the middle of the night? Isn't it a suicide mission to attack the fortress like this?" Late at night, Will gathered everyone together on both sides of the city wall.

The arrows and stones overhead continued to pour down like rain, forming a continuous stream that made it impossible for the bandits on the city wall to even raise their heads.

"Rowling, let all the catapults throw what I prepared for you, and the archers stop shooting rockets and shoot ordinary feather arrows." Alpha began to arrange the tasks.

"Lina, let the rock climbers prepare to climb the wall." More than a dozen rock climbers started climbing under the cover of night, carrying ropes.

"Captain Will, wait until the city gates are opened. After our people enter the inner city, they will immediately capture the city walls and let the people behind advance." No mission is easy. They all involve blood and tears. Alpha cannot guarantee how many people can survive this night.

……

"General, the enemy's attack seems to have weakened." The bandits' camp also felt the weakening of the attack outside.

The stones that were originally thrown over have now turned into harmless powder. Apart from blinding the eyes, blocking the field of vision and causing breathing difficulties, they will not cause any other damage at all, so the attacking bows and arrows have now become the biggest threat.

"Maybe they are out of stones? Someone must have cut corners among them." The solid stone castle can withstand all attacks from outside, and all the bandits' night managers gather here.

"Impossible, this is a mountainous area and there is no shortage of stones." A bandit leader questioned.

"Then do you think these soldiers are crazy? They have been attacking us for three days and three nights. I am frightened by the noise."

"No, send people to check the city walls. We can't let them climb up the walls during the chaos."
