Chapter 80 Bloody Battle

After hearing Hammer's order, Baron rushed out from the darkness, brandishing a three-meter-long Mo Dao, his body was burning with flames like an invincible god of war, and three or four cavalrymen along the way were cut into two by him.

Rhodes didn't expect Baron to be able to use the Mo Dao used by infantry on horseback.

And this is the first time Baron has used this weapon in actual combat, and he didn't expect it to be so powerful.

A cavalryman raised his lance and charged towards Baron. Baron picked up the cavalryman's lance with a Mo Dao, and he took the horse with him.

"Retreat!" The leading cavalry ordered loudly, and the other cavalry turned their horses and left the town through the gate after hearing the order.

Hammer did not order anyone to pursue him, and he knew that the pursuit would have no effect.

After he issued an order to rescue the wounded, he rode towards Rhodes and the others.

"Webb, go and check what's going on at the castle, and I'll decide whether to take these soldiers to rescue or retreat." Hamer said.

Weber nodded, and rode towards the castle, "I'll go with you." Rhodes shouted loudly, and followed Weber on horseback.

The town is right next to the castle, and Rhodes and the others soon arrived at the side of the castle.

There were corpses strewn about beside the gate of the castle, both human and horse-ridden, all shot to death by arrows.

The city wall is dotted with flames, the castle has not yet been breached, the siege ladder is built on the city wall, and fierce battles are still taking place on it, and the sound of hacking and shouting continues to come.

There are still enemies under the city wall who have not joined the battle, Rhodes and the others dare not get too close.

"Let's go back quickly and ask Hamer to lead the troops over and attack the soldiers attacking the city from behind." Weber said to Rhodes.

Rhodes nodded, turned the horse's head and rode towards Hammer. They were lucky that the horse ran so fast in such a dark day without being tripped by anything on the ground.

After Hammer learned of the situation, he quickly issued an order, "Everyone form a team, trot all the way to the castle to support our brothers!"

Baron roared: "Long live Nord!" The soldiers next to him also shouted.

Rhodes was infected by this atmosphere and wanted to shout, but he was a little embarrassed. He is a traveler and has far less deep feelings for the Nord Kingdom than Baron and Hammer.

For them, this is to defend their home and country, but for Rhodes, it is just an ordinary battle that can even be avoided.

Five minutes later, everyone rushed to the bottom of the city wall.

All the soldiers on the siege ladder had climbed up the city wall, leaving only dozens of cavalry guarding below.

"Infantry line up in two rows! Hold up your shields! Follow me!" Hamer quickly issued an order, "Baron and I charge together!"

Red flames ignited from Baron's body, and the horse under him was not frightened. Both he and Hamer put on the horses of the cavalrymen who died later.

While shouting "Long live Nord!", Baron and Hammer charged towards the cavalry below the city wall.

The cavalry on the opposite side also charged at them. There were at least fifty of them, and even if Rhodes was added here, they were less than forty.

If it was Rhodes commanding him, he would choose to create the effect of all trees and trees, so that the people on the opposite side don't know how many people are here, and they think that there are a lot of reinforcements here and then retreat.

After all, it's so dark now, just make more torches.

However, the deterrent effect brought by Baron, who was covered in flames in the dark night, was also very strong.

The horses under the several cavalry who were charging towards Baron wanted to turn back because they were afraid of the flames on Baron's body, which disrupted the charge of the cavalry.

Baron rushed into the cavalry battle formation, hacked left and right, killed seven or eight people, and finally rushed out, and Hamer beside him had already fallen off his horse, and his horse was ridden the moment he came into contact with the cavalry. Gun pierced.

Hamer, who fell off his horse, got the cover of the soldiers behind him and did not suffer any harm. After paying the lives of a dozen Nord soldiers, the cavalry's charge was blocked and they fell into a melee.

Although the rear cavalry could move, they couldn't attack the Nord infantry surrounded by other cavalry, so they turned around and chased after Baron.

Rhodes, who was always behind, dared to charge forward. He felt that if he charged with Baron and the others, he might be killed without killing a single enemy.

After falling into a melee, he could kill more than a dozen people with his martial arts and dragon scale armor.

As for Weber, he has been staying in the infantry, and it is not known how his situation is now.

Rhodes walked around behind the cavalry trapped in the battle group, and got off the traveling horse. He had no experience in fighting on horseback, so he might as well fight on foot.

He raised his two-handed sword and joined the battle group. The cavalrymen who were drawn into hand-to-hand combat were inconvenient to use lances, so they all replaced with one-handed swords and shields.

Rhodes, who was at the outermost edge of the battle group, succeeded in killing several people by relying on his attack range being larger than the cavalry with a one-handed sword.

"Get off the horse!" The commander of the cavalry realized that in the melee where the horses could not move, riding on the horses would put them at a disadvantage.

Infantry surrounded by horses and crowds are more flexible than cavalry sitting on immobile horses.

Rhodes can't judge the situation on the battlefield now at all. He goes around the enemy's back alone, and his comrades are all in front, as long as he can move forward.

He felt it was difficult to breathe, and being surrounded by tall war horses and enemies made him a little breathless, but he could see that the tall Hammer was wielding a warhammer to fight against the enemy bravely.

Several cavalrymen who got off their horses noticed Rhodes who had slipped behind them, and picked up their swords to besiege him. Rhodes used the white rainbow swordsmanship to face the four cavalrymen with ease.

He can directly ignore the attacks on his body, and he doesn't care about the attacks of weapons like the one-handed sword with the golden bell-covered iron shirt and dragon scale armor.

And on his head was the cavalry helmet that died at the gate of the town before, and he had no weaknesses except the neck and jaw.

These cavalry have not been trained to cooperate with each other after dismounting and fighting, unlike the robbers that the group encountered last time, they could help resist the attacks of others when their companions attacked.

The cavalry's one-handed sword only left a mark on Rhode's dragon scale armor.

"Use a little more force." Rhodes challenged.

The surrounding cavalry kept cursing at him. Rhodes raised his two-handed sword and slashed at a cavalry. The cavalry raised his shield to block, and the nearby cavalry took the opportunity to attack Rhodes. on his shield.

Rhode quickly turned around and cut the head of a cavalryman who was about to chop him with a sword in half. Blood spattered, and Rhode's face was stained with blood.

Rhodes sideways dodged a sword that was slashed at his neck, and then stabbed a cavalryman's jaw with the sword, and the two-handed sword pierced out from the top of his head.

Pulling out the long sword, Rhodes turned around again, and the two swords collided with the shield of a cavalryman, making a loud noise.

"Long live the empire!" The cavalry shouted loudly, stabbing Rhodes in the abdomen with a one-handed sword.

Rhodes directly grabbed his one-handed sword with the hand wearing the dragon-scale glove, and with the other hand, he cut the cavalry in half diagonally from the shoulder down.

The last cavalryman beside him took this opportunity to thrust his sword into the gap between the dragon scale armor.The tip of the sword was stuck inside, and the blade rubbed against the armor of the dragon scale armor. With all his strength, he could barely penetrate the sword into Rhodes' muscle.

Rhodes turned around and punched him in the face with Taizu's long fist, the cavalry helmet was dented, and the iron plate on the iron helmet smashed by the fist pierced into his flesh, blood continued to flow from Flowed from the gap in the helmet.

The cavalry let out a roar, and continued to thrust the sword into Rhodes' body. Enduring the pain, Rhodes stabbed the cavalry's chest with his two-handed sword. .

Rhodes twisted hard and drew out the long sword, and the cavalry fell to the ground powerlessly. He raised his hand with all his strength to touch the one-handed sword that was still stuck in Rhodes' body, but finally fell down powerlessly.

Rhodes gritted his teeth and pulled out the sword on his body, holding the bloody two-handed sword and walking towards the middle of the bloodier battle group...
