I was a knight in the Middle Ages
Chapter 63: Sneak Attack on Joyce
Amid the strong smell of death and the whistling wind, a thunderous roar broke through the silent night sky: "Kill!" This roar was like thunder, instantly igniting the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Bach, the brave centurion, led the elite infantry like a tiger descending the mountain, and rushed into the mountain stronghold where the bandits were entrenched without hesitation. Will's knights followed closely behind, their iron hooves like thunder, and their fighting spirit boiling.
At the same time, in the chaos inside the bandit stronghold, Monkey's special forces team began to spread panic: "The enemy is coming, run quickly!" The terrified shouts spread quickly like a plague. The bandits who had been trying to resist were instantly caught in a vortex of panic and fled in all directions.
The leader of the Joyce Village, who was usually a majestic overlord, was also thrown into confusion by the sudden change. He shouted angrily, wanting to know what happened, but there was only panic and chaos around him, and no one could answer his questions. He caught the fleeing bandits one by one, but could not get any useful information from them.
"What happened?" Joyce roared again, his eyes red, full of anger and helplessness. He threw away one ignorant bandit and caught another, but he still got the same answer that made him feel heartbroken: "The enemy is coming, run!"
Just when Joyce was about to lose his mind, the sharp pain in his shoulder made him sober instantly. He looked down and saw that blood had already stained his collar. It turned out that a small bandit had "accidentally injured" him in the chaos. Monkey watched all this coldly from a distance, secretly regretting that if the knife had been a little off, it would have ended the life of the bandit leader.
"Retreat!" Although the monkey felt regretful, he knew his mission. He quickly retreated, and at the same time, the crossbow in his hand continued to shoot arrows, killing the enemies around him. His retreat was not to escape, but to better prepare for the next attack.
Joyce was furious. He grabbed his weapon and rushed towards the enemy. His double axes swung in the night like silver lightning. However, the surrounding bandits were already in panic. They dared not come forward to help or flee. They could only stand there and watch their leader face the enemy alone.
Bach and Will's army swept in like a storm, and the bandits were unable to resist. They were slaughtered by the soldiers like cutting melons and vegetables, and there were cries and screams in the mountain stronghold. The leader of the mountain stronghold swung his double axes in the chaos, but his resistance had become futile.
……
"Oh no! They are attacking Joyce Village!" Seeing the smoke signals from Joyce Village, Bahom immediately realized that something was wrong. Even the beautiful prisoners in the cage became bored. If it wasn't really dangerous, Bahom, the leader of Joyce Village, would never ask for help, given his proud character.
"Arras, gather the cavalry and attack immediately." Captain Truss knew very well that the leader of Joyce Stronghold was Bahome's younger brother Bahot, and Bahome would definitely send troops to rescue.
"Rowling, the enemy is gathering its troops and we must hold the line." No matter what problems he encountered, Fattam never backed down.
"Okay, I will ambush 300 crossbowmen on both sides of the avenue, and your heavy cavalry must make a posture of 500 cavalrymen." Rowling only had 50 men, and Fattam only had 100 men. Rowling planned to use the grass and trees to see enemies and the crossbow positions to cause a lot of damage to the enemy in a short period of time. Fattam was responsible for using the shadows of straw men and trees to create the illusion of a large army sniping.
"Lilia, go and notify Robin Hood's troops and ask them to pretend to attack the enemy's tail." At this time, Alpha was not in the army, and Rowling had become the commander of several people.
"Captain Truss, our troops have discovered that the enemy has assembled at least 600 cavalrymen in order to snipe us." With the cooperation of everyone, the cavalrymen of Bahom and Truss were frightened and successfully created a huge maze for the enemy.
Robin Hood's troops were only there to tie down the enemy and would not attack directly. The only ones who could stop Truss's 1,000 cavalry were Fattam, Lilia and Rowling, who had less than 200 cavalrymen.
"Lilia, your feint needs to be more realistic so that the enemy can't see through it." Rowling glanced at Lilia.
"Don't worry, Rowling, I will make sure the enemy can't see it." After Lilia said that, she led a dozen cavalrymen to gallop towards the enemy's rear wing.
Truss saw a commotion on his rear wing and realized that it was an enemy ambush. "There's a commotion on our rear wing. They must have set up an ambush."
Arras nervously observed the enemy's rear, and when he saw a large number of cavalry rushing towards them, he began to panic. "Captain, the enemy seems to have a large number of troops on their rear wing. Should we return to defend?"
After hearing what Alas said, Bahom said to Truss angrily, "Truss, why are you so timid? They are just a small army. What are you afraid of?"
Seeing the change of color of Captain Truss, Alas began to get a little scared. After all, Truss was his captain. Alas tried to persuade Chief Bahom to act cautiously. "Chief Bahom, I think it's better to be careful. What if the enemy has an ambush?"
Arras was very nervous, but Bahom showed a sinister smile on his face, "Truss, don't worry, I will make arrangements. One thousand infantry will be responsible for clearing the way, and your cavalry only needs to block the enemy cavalry."
After that, Bahom began to command the remaining cavalry to break out to the rear, and at the same time ordered the main force to support Joyce.
"Brothers, follow me, we must completely eliminate these ambushes." With his order, the cavalrymen began to speed up and rushed towards the dozen or so cavalrymen led by Lilia.
Lilia couldn't help feeling a little nervous when she saw the enemy cavalry rushing towards her, but she remained calm and commanded the cavalry to fight and retreat at the same time, avoiding a head-on confrontation with the enemy.
"Keep your distance and shoot accurately." Lilia's cavalry are all sharpshooters, but their mobile shooting ability is weak, so they must keep a safe distance.
At this moment, the knights holding torches were like targets for archers. After a while, they dared not go deeper and could only deal with the enemies in the jungle from the periphery. Lilia successfully attracted a force of knights that was ten times greater than her own.
The real pressure was on Rowling. With one thousand infantry leading the way and one thousand cavalry escorting, two thousand men rushed to Joyce's stronghold non-stop.
"Five consecutive rounds of intensive fire." Just when half of the infantry had passed, Rowling suddenly ordered the knights ambushing on both sides to launch an attack.
Rowling concentrated the crossbows of Bach and Will's troops to create a trap. Each person could control ten crossbows, and fifty people instantly created the shooting effect of four or five hundred people.
There were constant screams. The crossbow arrows were not powerful enough to kill them in one shot, but the fact that three or two hundred people fell in an instant frightened the following infantrymen, who dared not move at all.
"Captain Bahom, our infantry lost three hundred men. The enemy has ambushed at least five hundred archers on both wings, so we can't get through at all." Arras hurried over to report.
"Impossible, there can't be so many of them." Bahom roared, but the fallen bandits were real. A round of attack caused such damage, and the scale of an ambush of 500 people was nothing.
"Keep charging." Bahom urged the infantry to charge again regardless of everything.
But the outcome remained the same. After losing more than two hundred people, the infantry did not dare to move, and even the order from Chief Bahom was to stay put.
"Arras, send a hundred cavalrymen to search the jungle. Once you see the enemy, the rest of the cavalrymen will attack and kill them immediately." Truss didn't dare to allow the cavalrymen on both sides to launch a sneak attack. He had to defeat them before he could feel at ease.
Finally, with a deafening explosion, the inner gate of the stronghold was breached, and Bach and Will led the army into the core area of the stronghold. Bahot was surrounded by soldiers, and he wielded his two axes and fought desperately, but was eventually subdued by the soldiers.
The entire stronghold had been captured, and the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded. Bach and Will stood at the highest point of the stronghold, overlooking this land that was once full of evil forces.
The night gradually faded away, and the dawn illuminated the land. The soldiers sat on the ground tired but satisfied, enjoying the joy of victory. The once majestic bandit leader Bahot was now being escorted to Alpha's camp. What his fate would be was no longer a concern for them.
"Lord Alpha, we have captured Joyce's stronghold and captured the enemy leader Bahot alive." Bach grabbed the tightly tied Bahot and kicked him in front of Alpha.
"Very good. Pay attention to the placement of the wounded, control of the prisoners, and cleaning of the washroom. Do not let the disease spread." Alpha was well aware of the severity of infectious diseases in the village and specifically emphasized the cleanliness of the washroom.
"Lord Alpha, we have almost no wounded. When we rushed in, they were all sick and had no combat effectiveness at all." Bach was obviously not satisfied.
"Very good, then Bach will lead his troops to support the front line." The pressure in the rear is very great, and Alpha must provide support.
"Yes, sir. I'll go and support you now." Upon hearing that there was a war, Bach didn't want to stay for a moment.
"Captain Will, you are responsible for the incorporation of Joyce Village." Alpha's focus is still on the army in the rear.
"Alpha, just give me twenty people plus the militia, and you can take the rest." Will knew that the pressure in the rear was very high. Now all the cavalry were less than 500. Once the enemy pressed forward on all fronts, they would surely be defeated.
"Okay, I'll take the rest of the people away." Alpha didn't act pretentiously. Together with Bach's troops, there were only more than 300 people on the front line.
"Leave it to me later, don't worry." Will patted his chest and agreed.
Suddenly, Bahot, who was lying on the ground, laughed loudly: "Hahaha, it turns out you only have 500 cavalrymen. This is all a scam."
Will was about to go up and beat up Bahot, but he saw his body hunched over, as if he was mutating.
"Everyone stand back and shoot with bows and arrows." Alpha ordered.
Feather arrows flew through the air, making crackling metallic sounds as they hit Bahom's body.
"Werewolf?" Alpha was shocked. Bahom had turned into a three-meter-tall wolf in front of everyone. The werewolf's hair stood up, its muscles bulged, and its claws flashed with cold light, like a ferocious beast about to devour someone.
Alpha knew very well that there were many unknown creatures and forces in this world, and some people had special abilities to fight against them.
This was also the first time Alpha saw a real werewolf. Alpha knew that ordinary weapons would not work on it, so he immediately ordered: "Will, take your people and retreat first."
"Alpha, let me stay. Even if I can't win, at least I can delay time." Will stepped forward with a heavy sword in his hand. He knew that it would be dangerous to stay here. It would be better to die heroically, which could at least delay some time.
"Will, you go first. I want to see how powerful this werewolf is." Alpha said as he took out a spear.
"No one can escape." The werewolf Bahot roared and rushed towards the nearest Alpha.
The werewolves were so fast that the soldiers in the barracks had no time to react and could only watch Alpha fight the werewolves.
Alpha was wearing heavy armor and ran much slower than the werewolves. The werewolves could tear open the armor on Alpha and the others with just one claw, and then easily leave bloody marks.
Alpha held the spear and stabbed continuously, trying to block the werewolf's attack, but the werewolf was too powerful and he could only resist with difficulty, unable to inflict serious damage to the werewolf.
Seeing that Alpha was about to be defeated, the surrounding cavalrymen finally reacted. They held spears in their hands and rushed over from all directions, and together with Alpha, they surrounded the werewolf in the middle.
Just as Alpha was fighting the werewolves, Bach also rushed to the military camp with the remaining 100 cavalrymen to provide support.
"Lord Alpha, we are here to support you!" Will rushed towards the werewolf with a mace in his hand.
"Will, take your people and go first, leave this to me." After Alpha said that, he rushed towards the werewolf again.
"Let's go together and kill this werewolf!" Will shouted.
The cavalrymen raised their spears and stabbed at the werewolves.
In an instant, the sound of gunfire and wolf howls merged into one. However, the wolf's fur was tough and could not be penetrated by the spear. Instead, the wolf's claws tore through the cavalry's armor like tearing paper.
"Damn werewolves, they are so difficult to deal with!" Alpha cursed in his heart. He was already a little overwhelmed. Werewolves are bullies on the grasslands, cruel and cunning, and often attack human tribes and caravans.
"Lord Alpha, we can't go on like this. We must find a way to kill this werewolf. Otherwise, our losses will get bigger and bigger." Bach said while waving his mace.
"Bach is right, we can't waste any more time." Will clenched his spear and joined the battlefield. He was the captain of this cavalry and a good friend of Alpha.
"Alpha, take your people and go first. I'll stop this werewolf." Will couldn't bear to see Alpha in danger.
"No, Will, you are the commander, you can't take risks." Alpha shook his head.
"Alpha, don't forget, I am also a knight. As a knight, it is your duty to protect people's lives and property. Now, this werewolf has endangered our safety, and I must take action." After Will finished speaking, he raised the spear in his hand and rushed towards the werewolf.
"Will, you're crazy!" Alpha shouted and rushed over.
When the werewolf saw the two people rushing towards him, he roared and swung his claws, rushing towards them. The two people suddenly felt a strong force pressing on them, which was almost impossible to resist.
"Bach, go quickly, I'll stop this werewolf."
