Chapter 1374: The Hard Battle of Orleans
Rolin Empire, Orleans.
"Hah aaaah!"
Suchet shouted with great momentum, while raising his sword high and slashing at the Britannian soldier in front of him.
Clang!
Suchet felt a numbness in his right hand holding the sword.
When his sword was about to hit the Britannian soldier in front of him, the Britannian soldier raised his shield in time to block his slash.
Not only did he block his slash, but he also launched a counterattack and stabbed the Britannian soldier in the face.
Suchet snorted coldly, lowered his head quickly, and dodged the Britannian soldier's stab.
After fighting with the Britannian soldiers for so many days, Suchet gradually figured out their fighting skills.
The fighting skills that the Britannian soldiers would use were just a few moves.
Especially their swordsmanship, which was the same 4 or 5 moves over and over again.
However, although they didn't know much swordplay, the swordplay they knew was practical and easy to injure the enemy.
Even a master like Suchet, who had learned swordplay from his father, a master of swordplay, could be killed by an ordinary Britannian soldier if he relaxed his vigilance or was careless.
After ducking his head to avoid the Britannian soldier's stab, Suchet kicked up and accurately hit the shield of the Britannian soldier in front of him.
After letting the Britannian soldier distance himself from him, Suchet shouted again and swung his sword at the soldier.
This time, Suchet no longer chopped the soldier's torso or head.
He aimed at the soldier's feet.
Although he had only exchanged a few moves with the soldier, Suchet had already figured out the soldier's fighting style from these simple moves.
The soldier was very good at using a shield to defend.
Therefore, it is not worthwhile to attack the soldier's torso, head and other places that can be easily defended by the shield.
However, attacking the feet is different.
Soldiers participating in siege warfare cannot hold a large shield that is as tall as their body. They can only hold a small shield that can be easily raised with one hand.
It is enough to use this small shield to defend the upper body.
It is more difficult to defend the lower body.
Suchet aimed at this weakness of the small shield and quickly squatted down when rushing towards the soldier.
Then he swung his sword at the soldier's leg.
Suchet's movements were too fast.
It would take too much time to bend down and block Suchet's attack with a shield, or to block it directly with a sword.
Suchet's sword accurately hit the soldier's left calf, and then passed by the soldier.
After passing by the soldier, Suchet snorted coldly with an angry look on his face.
Judging from the feeling of the soldier's left calf that he had just hit, he was not able to seriously injure the soldier's left calf.
Because the soldier was wearing leg armor.
When he chopped off the soldier's leg armor, his sword no longer had the strength to seriously injure the soldier's body, and only left a not-so-deep wound on the soldier's leg.
When Suchet quickly turned around and wanted to give the soldier who had been injured by him another sword, another Britannian soldier suddenly rushed out from his right side and stopped Suchet.
After stopping Suchet, the Britannian soldier shouted something to the soldier who had been injured by Suchet.
Because Suchet could not understand Britannian, he did not know what the Britannian soldier was shouting.
However, Suchet guessed that the Britannian soldier should be shouting "retreat quickly".
Because after he finished shouting, the Britannian soldier who was injured by Suchet dragged his injured leg and left Suchet's field of vision.
"Damn it......!"
Suchet was naturally very unwilling to see the prey that was about to be caught escape.
While looking at the enemy who had just rushed out in front of him, Suchet said in his heart:
-Strange......
-Why do I always feel that...the Britannia Army on the north wall has become so much stronger recently......
Since the Battle of Orleans, Suchet has always been one of the many soldiers responsible for surrounding the north wall.
Therefore, Suchet could clearly feel that the Britannia Army soldiers who attacked the north wall in the past few days had become much stronger.
It felt like a new group of people.
And-the strength of the Britannia Army attacking the north wall in the past few days was not the strength of fighting skills.
In terms of fighting skills and teamwork, the Britannia Army responsible for attacking the north wall in the past few days was not much different from the previous Britannia Army.
The reason why Suchet felt that the Britannia Army responsible for attacking the north wall in the past few days was much stronger than the previous one was because-the spirit was different.
The spirit of the Britannian army that is now responsible for attacking the north wall is completely different from that of the previous Britannian army.
This feeling is very strange...
Suchet couldn't tell what the specific difference is between the spirit of the Britannian army that is now responsible for attacking the north wall and that of the previous Britannian army...
If there is any difference... it should be that the Britannia Army responsible for attacking the north wall is more confident.
Their gestures gave Suchet a feeling that we can definitely defeat your Rolin Army.
It is this confidence that makes them quite powerful.
It also puts soldiers like Suchet who are responsible for guarding the north wall into a difficult battle...
......
......
Rolin Empire, somewhere north of Orleans, the main camp of the Knights of Michael.
The main camp of the Knights of Michael is located on a high ground.
Even without building a watchtower, Willy can easily see the battle situation on the north wall of Orleans.
Willy sat on a small chair placed in the main camp, looking at the battle situation on the north wall of Orleans in the distance, while quietly listening to the latest battle report told by the messenger who was kneeling on one knee behind him.
A few days ago, the Knights of Michael also joined the attack on Orleans.
After a brief discussion with Harry, it was decided that the main attack direction of the Knights of Michael would be placed in the north of Orleans.
In other words, the Knights of Michael would be responsible for attacking the northern wall of Orleans.
The Knights of Raziel would continue to be responsible for the other walls.
Although Willy and the Knights of Michael were better at field battles than siege warfare.
But this did not mean that they did not know how to fight siege warfare.
After the Knights of Michael joined the attack on Orleans, the Knights of Michael opened the eyes of the Knights of Raziel with their strength.
