I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 214: Battle against adversity



Chapter 214: Battle against adversity

As the battle progressed, Alpha's Knights demonstrated a high degree of discipline and excellent tactical execution, skillfully utilizing every opportunity to shoot, maximizing casualties on the enemy while minimizing their own losses.

Under Alpha's command, the Knights are like a precision fighting machine, every move is carefully considered, every attack is precise and deadly. The enemy's morale is weakened over time, while Alpha's Knights are becoming more and more indestructible.

"No retreat, anyone who retreats will be killed!" The warlord's roar echoed on the battlefield, but it had little effect. Some knights began to retreat, their eyes revealing fear and despair.

"Go ahead if you can!" These knights were also veterans who had been through many battles. In normal battles, they were brave and fearless. However, the situation at this moment made them feel unprecedented fear. The enemy was like a ghost hiding in the dark. Their attacks were invisible but caused huge damage.

On the battlefield, the knights resolutely dispersed and formed a new battle line. At this time, the supervisor was exposed. Alpha made a prompt decision and ordered to shoot the messengers and supervisors holding flags. In an instant, these people suffered heavy casualties and fell in a pool of blood.

However, Alpha's riflemen were also facing a grim situation. They had very few bullets left and the situation was becoming critical. If they could not use rifles to effectively defeat the enemy and chose a head-on battle, it would not only bring huge losses, but also fail to ensure 100% victory. Everything was full of uncertainty.

"Musketeers, charge!" Gorbachev knew that the situation was urgent and had no other choice but to send a 100-man musketeer team, which he regarded as his life-saving trump card, to the front line for emergency assistance.

However, Gorbachev's magic gun team used short guns, and at a distance of more than 100 meters, it was impossible to guarantee the accuracy and destructive power of the shooting. To make matters worse, Alpha's front-line cavalry was also equipped with solid shields.

"Shoot the enemy's magic pistol team!" Alpha clearly realized that he must defeat the enemy with the strongest posture and never give the enemy any chance to breathe.

This was the first time in the world that a magic gun duel involving more than a hundred people occurred, but Gorbachev lacked understanding of the advantages and distances of the guns of both sides, and actually let his short gun team and Alpha's long gun team shoot at each other at a long distance.

In an instant, Gorbachev's musketeers suffered heavy losses, losing more than half of their men. They were almost completely wiped out before they even had time to fire their first shot.

"Forward!" Alpha knew that there were only a few bullets left in the rifle. He had to continue to exert pressure and not retreat.

Bang, bang, bang! The rifle bullets continued to fire mercilessly.

"Load, prepare to shoot!" Alpha's command was sonorous and powerful, but everyone felt heavy in their hearts, because they knew that there were no bullets in the gun chambers at this moment. Despite this, everyone still pretended to shoot according to the order, because Alpha's majesty was unchallengeable. At least more than half of the cavalry were facing the dilemma of having no bullets available, and their behavior at this moment was just bluffing.

"Run! They are devils!" The enemy finally couldn't bear the huge pressure of death and began to flee in a panic.

"Shoot!" Alpha gave the order again, but the density of this round of musket fire was at least half of the previous one. However, for the fleeing enemy, this was still a fatal death warrant. At the critical moment of life and death, who would care about these things? Everyone just hated that they didn't have two more legs and didn't run fast enough.

"Lord Gorbachev, the density of their bullet shooting has decreased. They have run out of bullets!" The counselor keenly noticed the abnormality and immediately reported to Gorbachev.

"Too late, too late!" Gorbachev looked at the cavalry that was defeated like a tide, and regretted it in his heart. He realized that he should have decisively launched an attack with his entire army, and perhaps there would be a glimmer of hope.

However, the situation had already gone beyond his control. "Lord Gorbachev, it's bad! A large number of knights have appeared on our flanks and rear, and they are attacking us!" As the saying goes, when a wall falls, everyone pushes it; when a tree falls, monkeys scatter. The appearance of these people was no accident. Gorbachev knew that most of them were fence-sitters who only pledged loyalty to the winning side.

"It's over, it's over..." Gorbachev knew that there were many forces lurking around him, waiting for the opportunity and ready to turn against him at any time. At this moment, he was completely hopeless.

The battle had lasted for several hours. The bloody sunset sprinkled on the smoke-filled battlefield, making the cruel scene even more tragic. Finally, under Alpha's decisive command, the enemy's front began to collapse, and the soldiers fled like headless flies.

However, Alpha was not carried away by the victory in front of him. He knew that the real battle had just begun, and they had to conserve their strength to cope with the subsequent difficult challenges. Therefore, he decisively ordered to stop the pursuit and consolidate the current victory.

The Knights acted quickly. On the one hand, they actively treated the wounded and tried their best to save every life. On the other hand, they carefully counted the losses and collected the weapons and ammunition left by the enemy to make full preparations for the next battle. Alpha was alone in contemplation, thinking about the next action plan. He understood that this victory was just a small step towards the ultimate goal, and every victory was an indispensable cornerstone on the road to success.

In this war-torn land, Alpha and his knights will continue to move forward, writing their own legend with courage and wisdom. They firmly believe that as long as they unite and move forward courageously, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and realize their ideals.

After the fierce battle, the frontal battlefield has come to an end, but sporadic conflicts continue. These people are all hostile forces to Gorbachev. They have been observing in secret, waiting for the best opportunity. Now, seeing that Gorbachev has been completely defeated, they pounced out like hungry wolves, trying to snatch the fruits of victory and spoils.

"No need to pay attention to them." Alpha is well aware of the current priority, "What we need to do right now is to rescue the wounded and restore order. Everything else can be put aside for the time being. We must not conflict with them." Although the results of the battle have not yet been summarized, Alpha knows that the losses in this battle must be considerable.

As for the friends who tried to snatch the fruits of victory, Alpha also had his own plans. If he dragged them into the water, Gorbachev would be finished, but the Orff family was still behind him. That was a behemoth, and Gorbachev was not even a finger on it.

"Jones, Nars, you two must do your best. Thank you for your hard work during this period." Alpha entrusted the medical work to them with confidence. Both of them were doctors and knew that the responsibility was heavy.

At this time, Alpha also thought of Bruce and other warriors. When he just left the village that was looted by bandits, he did not notice Bruce's attention to him. Bruce quietly trained more than a thousand warriors, waiting to step forward at the critical moment.

Bruce followed Saint Manni's advice and followed Gorbachev's cavalry all the way. At the last moment, he led the knights into the enemy camp, which was the key to Alpha's survival. Without Bruce's heroic assistance, Alpha would have died long ago.

"Don't worry, leave it to us." Jones took on the task without hesitation.

However, the situation suddenly changed. "Lord Alpha, it's bad! There's a war on the right, and the reinforcements can't hold on any longer!" The monkey suddenly sent an urgent message, and the situation was critical.

"What happened? How many people are there?" Alpha's heart was shocked. According to the current situation, everyone was exhausted and unable to continue fighting.

"It's Gorbachev. That guy is at least a Silver Knight. They can't resist him at all. He also said he wanted to kill you." Looking at the chaotic battlefield, Monkey quickly returned and reported the situation in detail.

"Silver Knight?" Alpha frowned. He knew very well that even Arthur of the Holy See was just a Golden Knight. With his strength as a high-level knight, he could not compete with him at all.

"Gunn, Darwin, come with me to meet him. Monkey, ask Kunshan to come over, and mobilize the rifle team at the same time." The battle this time was extremely fierce. Half of the bullets brought by Alpha had been used up. He realized that he had to consider building a weapons processing plant nearby.

"I'll go too." Surprisingly, the old Taoist priest who had always been taciturn actually took the initiative to ask to join the battle. All along, the old Taoist priest thought that Alpha was no different from those nobles, so he didn't have a good face for Alpha, but his observations over the past few days have given him a new understanding of Alpha.

"Okay, only those who are senior knights and above can stay, and everyone else must retreat to the bridgehead fortress." Alpha gave the final order.

The battle in the rear had ended long ago. The three hundred ordinary soldiers left behind by Gunn had been completely wiped out without a trace by the mountain troops of Kunshan and their joint encirclement and suppression.

However, the bandits in the mountains have never been known for their strong fighting ability. The reason they have been able to exist is that they are like weeds. They cannot be blown away by wildfires, but will grow again in the spring breeze. Even if they are dealt a devastating blow today, they will come back to life within a month.

Facing such a powerful threat from the Silver Knight Gorbachev, Alpha knew very well that it would be very difficult to win by relying on just a few senior knights. They had to use wisdom and strategy skillfully to turn the tide of the battle.

"We must not confront them head-on, we must use our wits and strategies." Alpha lowered his voice and said to Gunn and Darwin. Both of them were experienced warriors and understood Alpha's intentions instantly.

"You mean..." Darwin looked puzzled and stared at Alpha.

"We will use the strategy of luring the enemy deep into our territory and pretend to retreat to lure them into our ambush." ​​Alpha's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he was ready to use the magic rifle team to annihilate these enemies.

Gunn and Darwin nodded in agreement, and they immediately set about arranging the battlefield, setting traps and ambushes. The old Taoist priest also used his magic to cast a layer of mysterious protection on the battlefield.

Not long after, Gorbachev led his troops to charge. What Alpha did not expect was that the enemy only had Gorbachev. They may have mistakenly thought that Alpha and his men were powerless to resist, so they ran into the ambush without any preparation.

In an instant, the ground suddenly collapsed, and many enemy soldiers fell into the pit that Alpha and his team had dug in advance. At the same time, dense bullets were sprayed from the surrounding woods, and the rifle team showed its powerful power.

Although Gorbachev was strong, he was at a loss in the face of this sudden attack. Alpha, Gunn, Darwin and the old master took the opportunity to join forces to besiege Gorbachev and trap him in the middle.

However, Alpha still underestimated the strength of the Silver Warrior. After just one encounter, Gorbachev managed to escape from the predicament.

But just as everyone approached, a figure flashed out like lightning, and Gun and Alpha, who were closest to them, were knocked away like a kite with a broken string before they could react. With just one blow, the two were seriously injured and fell to the ground, which shows how powerful Gorbachev is.

"You damn bug, I'm going to tear you into pieces!" Gorbachev walked towards the lying Alpha with murderous intent. His voice was full of anger, as if he wanted to eat Alpha alive.

Alpha was lying on the ground, the pain in his body almost made him unable to move, but he knew very well in his heart that if he didn't stand up, not only himself, but everyone else would be in danger. He couldn't let his efforts go to waste, and he couldn't let his companions' sacrifice become meaningless.
