Shouting in the name of the Mother of Holy Light, the Stuart family's counterattack finally began.
As before, the Duke, who believed in the supremacy of gold coins, still used long-range weapons as his main method of attack.
With their financial resources, the armor-piercing arrows, which were expensive in the north, seemed like free items to the Stuart family.
Even hard crossbows with complex craftsmanship are very common in the army of the Duke of the Sea.
Waves of arrow rain squeezed the living space of the northern warriors, and the Duke used bows and arrows to divide them into several piles.
Except for the knights who were taken away by frightened horses, the tens of thousands of northern troops present were losing their soldiers at a terrifying rate.
In order to chase the deserters, many people had thrown away their shields.
Lacking the tools to fight the arrow rain, the Stuart family's arrows could kill one northern warrior every five arrows on average.
In a short period of time, more than ten thousand arrows were aimed at their heads.
There are at least 50,000 Stuart soldiers surrounding them, which is all the strength of the Duke of the Sea.
Almost every one of them is equipped with a high-quality longbow or hard crossbow, and they carry at least ten arrows per person.
As long as they continue to maintain their firepower advantage, there is no need to even engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Just bows and arrows can annihilate all the northern troops in an instant.
If the Duke of the Sea is willing, it is not a dream to equip an army of peasants with high morale and not afraid of sacrifice at this time to completely annihilate the army in the north.
But his goal is not to kill all the Northerners present.
With the strength of the Northerners, these Yankees who are not afraid of death can bring out another army of the same number at any time.
As for the Stuart family, the 50,000 troops around them are the most elite force of the Duke.
The retrained soldiers are not as useful as the army they have built with all their strength.
In terms of war potential, there is still a gap between the southern part of the empire and the northern part.
However, the Duke believes that in just ten years, this situation will be completely reversed.
The use of gunpowder was discovered.
Although muskets still seemed a bit useless, gunpowder was enough to change the pattern of war.
Looking forward to the future when he leads the Stuart family's army to wipe out the orcs in the north, the Duke feels that just being a Duke is a bit too humiliating.
Thinking that he should discuss with Keira to replace the Bourbon royal family in the future, the Duke asked an attendant: "Is there anything going on behind the scenes?"
He couldn't spread the news that John would attack his back everywhere.
Although many senior members of the Stuart family knew about John and the Duke's conspiracy, to those soldiers, John Carter's name and appearance were so familiar. strangeness.
Even those who had participated in the roundup of the Northern Archduke only thought that John was a newly recruited knight from their Stuart family.
During this time, the Stuart family recruited many wandering knights.
But to be the Duke's attendant, he must know something about it.
"Lord Nixon is leading his team to defend our back.
If anything happens, he will send out a signal immediately and pretend to stop them.
Lord Duke, do we really want to let go of the enemy in front of us?"
Nixon is a member of the Stuart family, so he knows the Duke's plan.
Taking the initiative to let John in was also part of the script.
It's just that the last sentence of the attendant was a bit redundant, and the behavior of these upper-class people was not something that an attendant could understand.
But before the Duke could give his attendants a lesson, the signal from Nixon came.
Knowing that it was John who took action, he ordered his attendants.
"Let our people get ready, remember not to come into contact with the enemy, and gather everyone at the predetermined place after they disperse."
Even the gathering place had been arranged in advance.
When John came out from behind with his cavalry, the fleeing Stuart family really looked like a rout.
Without the soldiers knowing it, they really thought that the large troops from the north had arrived when they received the order to retreat.
The northern warriors who were being attacked may not have felt it yet, but after the explosion, the shaking on the ground was not the work of their Stuart family.
The cavalry in the north have always been the experts in this field.
Not wanting to taste what it was like to be trampled by cavalry, under the leadership of their commander, the Stuart soldiers who had just tried their best to attack the northerners did not care whether their target was still alive.
But since there is going to be a show, it is definitely not enough to disperse the Stuart family.

John needs some achievements, and of course the Duke will satisfy John.
A newly raised army was specially arranged to be the candidates for the rear.
However, not only did they lack spears, but their armors were also discarded by the Stuart family.
Facing John's prepared attack, in addition to leaving behind many Apart from the corpses, they were unable to cause any damage to Baron Carter's cavalry.
The kind-hearted Duke of the Sea also deliberately forgot the body of the Archduke of the North before leaving.
This time, John not only defeated the Stuart family.
After retrieving the body of the Northern Archduke and rescuing the besieged nobles, Baron Carter may be the most outstanding hero of this trip south.
Of course, before that, John must explain why the Grand Duke of the North suffered an unexpected event.
While he had nothing to do, he actually retained his military structure.
Such a big loophole will definitely be mentioned.
However, the battlefield is not a place for talking.
The battle has lasted for several hours, and the sky has begun to darken.
While the Stuart family still has energy left, they need to return to the camp as soon as possible.
After such a huge failure, no one was in the mood to pursue John's problem.
And no one will pay attention to the surrounding situation.
Naturally, no one will think about why the Swift Eagle flying in the sky, which is specially used for communication in the North, appears here.
After leaving the northern border, they used carrier pigeons to send messages.
Things like Swift Eagle simply cannot serve as messengers in places where they are not accustomed to.
But this is only for those ordinary Swift Eagles, people who have been transformed by Meatball, let alone Swift Eagles.
Even sparrows and meatballs can be modified to serve as messengers.
However, the flying ability of sparrows is inherently insufficient.
Even after being strengthened, they are still not as good as the swift eagle, which has a wingspan of nearly two meters.
Therefore, Lorne never thought of wasting the transformation speed of the meat ball on the sparrow.
The Swift Eagle, ignored by everyone, passed over the defeated people in the north, and even flew over the gathering Duke Stuart and headed straight for Lorne. location
