king of the castle

Chapter 486 Royal Guards vs Chain Armored Cavalry

"It's the Royal Guard!" Bonnie, who was beside Roger, couldn't help but exclaimed: "Alonso III intends to do his best when he comes to Alonso III."

After hearing what the female knight said, Roger also frowned secretly. 【】The Royal Guard is the most elite army with the strongest combat effectiveness in the kingdom. It is usually only responsible for protecting the king's safety, and will never be involved in such a siege battle.Now that Alonso III actually sent this army out to carry out tasks like conquering the castle, it really shows that he has completely lost his patience and only wants to decide the outcome as soon as possible.

Roger's test was not wrong.Not long ago, Alonso III had replaced Sutil's position as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and instead he personally commanded the next battle.

Days of fighting exhausted Alonso III's patience.Apart from inflicting heavy casualties, Sutil achieved nothing at all, which made the king determined to replace him.

Some aristocratic ministers who were usually at odds with Sutil took the opportunity to speak to the king, requesting Alonso III to cut off Sutil's title and sentence him to death for "negligence of duty and delaying the war opportunity".

However, although Alonso III lost his patience, he did not lose his mind. He just sneered at the demands of these nobles and did not make any response.Alonso III knew very well that Sutil was an important general in the army. Even if he was dismissed because he had been attacking the castle for a long time, he could not be punished for it.If this is the case, the generals of the military will feel chilled, and it will not be beneficial to the current crumbling kingdom.

What's more, Alonso III is now personally commanding the battle. If he can't wait to execute Sutil at this time, what if the king himself fails to capture the castle?So Alonso III thought very clearly that how to deal with Sutil must wait until the end of the war.Before that, he was still the nobleman of the kingdom and the commander of the legion, but he was no longer in charge of commanding this battle.

Since Alonso III personally commanded the battle, he also knew that he had to come up with the results as soon as possible, otherwise he would be reduced to the result of being unable to attack for a long time like Sutil, which would not be of any benefit.

Now that the war has been going on for most of the day, Alonso III felt that the enemy must have been exhausted, and it was the best time to attack the city in one go.In order to eliminate the enemies threatening his kingship as soon as possible, Alonso III has put all his eggs in one basket and sent the most elite troops of the kingdom, the Royal Guards, to attack Roger.

The Royal Guard can also be said to be the pride of the Thorne Kingdom. Alonso III watched this army slowly approach the castle, and felt that defeating Roger was not as difficult as Sutil said.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel full of confidence in the upcoming battle, and asked Massa beside him in a low voice: "Do you think my Royal Guards can conquer the castle in one fell swoop?".

As the captain of the palace guard, Massa has been guarding Alonso III's side recently to protect him from being harmed in such a fierce battle.After listening to the king's words, Massa was silent for a while, then shook his head lightly and said, "I'm sorry Your Majesty, I can't make a judgment."

Massa's answer displeased Alonso III, he snorted softly and said, "Go and call Viscount Senna to protect me, you have worked hard for several days, you should take a good rest for a while."

After a few seconds of silence for Alonso III's order, Massa finally bowed and said: "Of order"

After saying this, Massa left the king without looking back, and went directly to his tent to write a letter of resignation.In the letter, Massa claimed that he was in poor health recently, and Fazai took on the important task of protecting the king and staying in the wild to continue fighting. He requested to resign from the post of captain of the palace guard and return to Mandos City to recuperate.

Massa asked the letter to be sent to Alonso III, and he set foot directly on the way back to the city of Mandos.The meaning of Alonso III's order just now is very clear. He doesn't need Massa's protection or he no longer trusts him, but wants to give up the position of captain of the palace guard to Viscount Senna.

Massa is not a person who is greedy for power. The reason why he loyally protects Alonso III is entirely because of the original oath.Now that the kingdom no longer trusts Massa, there is no need for him to continue fulfilling his oath. It is better to leave this battlefield full of killings as soon as possible.Massa hated this civil war in the kingdom from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't want to meet Roger on the battlefield. Leaving at this time was probably the best choice.

One thing Massa didn't expect was that this decision also saved his life.In the upheaval a few days later, almost all life outside the castle was destroyed, and Massa was lucky to escape because he had already left.

When Alonso III received Massa's letter, he threw the parchment on the ground with just a few casual glances, and just said lightly, "He is still very interesting, and it will save us from tearing our faces."The king had no interest in the former captain of the palace guard, who had lost his trust, and his attention was now focused on the city walls.

The Royal Guards are already attacking the castle.These soldiers have stronger strength and equipment than other soldiers, and the most important thing is that they are extremely loyal to the king, even if they die in battle in order to carry out the king's will.

Such a team joining the ranks of the offensive is definitely the biggest crisis Roger has encountered since the beginning of the war.The Royal Guards recklessly climbed up the ladder and quickly approached the top of the city.Even if the comrades-in-arms in front were knocked down from the high ladder and fell to the ground far below with screams, the other Royal Guard soldiers accelerated the pace of attack. At this time, they had completely put life and death aside.

Under the desperate attack of the Royal Guards, the soldiers defending the city wall quickly fell into a dilemma.Although they fought bravely and destroyed many enemies, in the end a few soldiers of the Royal Guards climbed up the city wall smoothly.These soldiers immediately formed a formation to cover the ladder behind them, so that more soldiers could climb the city wall.

After nearly ten days of continuous fighting, someone of his own finally climbed the city wall. This situation greatly boosted the morale of Alonso III's army.The soldiers burst into loud cheers, as if victory was at hand.At this moment, whether it was the soldiers of the Royal Guards or the soldiers of other armies, they all accelerated their pace of attack and climbed to the top of the city at a faster speed, which instantly increased the pressure on Roger's side.

The few soldiers who climbed the city wall first were still fighting bravely. Although they had suffered many injuries, they still managed to carve out a small area on the city wall to allow more soldiers of the Royal Guards to climb up. The head of the city.

And the more enemies climbed to the top of the city, the bigger the territory they could control, and at the same time protect more ladders from being attacked by Roger's side.The consequence of this is that there are more enemies on the city wall, and there are already more than a hundred people by visual inspection.

Now Roger is also a little anxious. If the situation is allowed to continue like this, the castle may really be breached.Fortunately, as soon as the Royal Guards arrived at the top of the city, Roger dispatched troops from all over the castle to assist in the defense. At this time, the reinforcements finally arrived.

The reinforcements who came rushed to attack the invading enemy without hesitation, and the two sides quickly fought into one group.However, the fighting power of the Royal Guards is not inferior to that of Roger's soldiers, and now they are imposing like a rainbow, and they will not retreat in the face of a strong enemy.In addition, although the city wall is wide, its area is limited after all, which is not conducive to Roger's advantage in numbers, so the two sides also fought a tie.

This was not good news for Roger, because the enemy troops under the city wall took advantage of this opportunity to climb up continuously, and the threat to him was getting bigger and bigger.

"It can't go on like this anymore." This thought flashed through Roger's mind, and he quickly made a bold decision.

Roger's eyes fell on the wilderness outside the castle, where there were still several enemy troops rushing towards the castle howling.Encouraged by the Royal Guards, all enemies are scrambling to get to the castle.And in this case, they naturally didn't care about forming a neat formation. Maybe this situation was not a big deal in other places, but it was a fatal mistake in Roger's eyes.

With a thought of Roger, a group of 2000 heavy cavalry appeared in the wilderness.As soon as they appeared, they divided into four teams, and then urged the horses to accelerate the charge.

At first, the soldiers under Alonso III didn't understand the situation, and many people thought that these cavalry were their own.After all, Roger's castle is under siege. What commander would open the gates to let the cavalry out under such circumstances?

But Alonso III's soldiers soon discovered to their horror that these cavalry descended from the sky were actually enemies.

When the heavy cavalry launched a fearful charge, they could crush all the enemies passing by on the road to powder.The only way for the infantry to compete with the charging heavy cavalry is to form a tight formation, use their numerical advantage to weaken the impact of the cavalry, and finally achieve the goal of defeating them.

However, at this time Alonso III's soldiers were busy charging, and the formation was scattered like sheep grazing on the hillside, unable to stop the charging heavy cavalry at all.Several soldiers were carried away with spears, hacked to death with long swords, and trampled to death by galloping horses. The only reaction for a while was to throw down their weapons and run away with their heads in their arms.Even the soldiers of the Royal Guards were helpless when facing the heavy cavalry. Although they would fight the enemy to the death, they couldn't resist the galloping horses at all, and were turned into corpses without any suspense.

Roger found that his tactics had achieved unexpected success, so he naturally summoned more chain mail heavy cavalry into battle without hesitation.In the blink of an eye, dozens of cavalry teams consisting of 500 men were active in the wilderness outside the castle, charging back and forth to intercept and kill Alonso III's soldiers, quickly turning the tide of the battle and making the situation favor Roger again. .
