The Toniguers garrison is distributed in the forest. For Matthew, the commander in charge of these local defensive forces was a very clever opponent. The opponents strength was limited, but the resistance was well-organized. At least so far, There is no sign of defeat.
Matthew understands that Lord Duke is not satisfied with the progress in this direction, but the men and horses under him are mixed, and not everyone obeys his instructions. For example, there are seven or eight noble knights and lords on the two banks of the riverbank. There are about seven or eight hundred people combined, but the orders are different, which seriously slows down their march.
Whats more serious is that, in addition to the casual disregard of command, the noble knights also have the intention of preserving their strength. No one is really a fool in this war, and the nobles will not make wedding dresses for others. It seems that these people are expecting that the offensive in the direction of the main castle of Mintai will make progress, so that they will not defeat themselves.

Thinking of this, Matthew couldnt help sighing. He shook his head and stopped thinking about these things that were too far away from himself. All he had to think about was how to take the Toniguers line of defense. The nobles had already captured three or four villages, but not much had been achieved. The Toniguer had retreated to the south bank of the Old River to build a line of defense. And they followed this, and Baron Gedum from Blackwater Bay walked fastest. According to previous news, he had captured Emden not far west of here, and it is estimated that he will soon be in the direction of Orta. The assault fronts merged.
“Speed up!” Matthew rubbed his frosty hands and shouted to his own hands: “Take down the manor in front, do whatever you want, women, property, all of you, but move faster Dont let anyone grab it first! “
The knights promised loudly, but the infantry infantry remained indifferent. Those things did not fall on them anyway. They dragged forward in this weather, or they could no longer get upside down. Come, nothing more than the knights swords hanging from their heads.
In this mood, these stiff soldiers finally landed on the beach. The knights first let the archers shoot a wave of rockets into the forest. However, in such a weather, the temperature is too low and the bow arms are brittle. The fire was not easy to ignite. Many rounds of bowstrings were broken in one round. This wave of arrow rain can only be said to be nothing.
However, Matthew did not care about this. He immediately asked the infantry to put out a battle formation to advance into the forest. The Toniguers defense line was looming outside the manor. The opponent had a well-maintained magic crossbow, and it was equally capable in this climate. The lethality of the place two hundred steps away can not help but let people scold the Tonigels luxury.
The bow string sounded very quickly in the front, and the infantry walking in the front row fell down several times, and the team immediately caused a commotion. Matthew scolded him when he saw this, but in this case, he was familiar with the situation, and immediately ordered the custody team to come forward and strangle a few soldiers who were stagnant. The team was reorganized again.
Matthew knows very well that the number of enemies is not large. This is their biggest disadvantage, as long as he is stable on his side. The opponents could not resist the victory of the previous battles, and they also won.
The Tonigers really started to retreat. Now they still have deep defenses, but they are far from enough. And when the opponent loses even the space to retreat, its time to really decide.
Matthew is confident of this. He saw that some crumbling fir-necked emblems in the forest kept receding. In the end, I dont know what happened. Perhaps the flag bearer was killed, the flag shook and fell down.
“Tonigels mice have backed up again!” Finally, cheers from the rebels, or rather gratefuclass="underline" “They dare not go against us, chase them and kill them!”
This situation is repeating itself throughout Mintais battlefield.
Suddenly the rebels almost defeated the unsuspecting Mintais local garrison, except for sporadic resistance. In most places, the Tonnigers retreated, evacuated, and even been annihilated.
Matthew turned his head and saw that the banner of the nobles of the South was also erected in the direction of Welland, while the banner representing the occupation was being erected to the south of the Old Beach. Human resistance is getting weaker and weaker.
“It seems to be winning.”
He thought so.
But at this time, the noble flag that had just been erected on the hill just before the Welland Ferry suddenly collapsed.
Matthew had just seen this scene, he saw a knight rushing up the hillside from the other side, cutting the flag bearer with a sword from the crowd.
Matthew looked at it almost in amazement. That must be a Tonigger cavalry. But why did they still have a fighting force here at this time? Instead of evacuating backward, they launched an attack on the coalitions front?
Are these people crazy?
He watched as knights and knights appeared on the hilltop, and the poor aristocratic personal soldiers who had occupied the hilltop had been killed without leaving a piece of armor. The knights scornfully threw the noble banner cut to the ground.
Then another flag appeared on the hill.
What it exposed first was just a spear tip, carved with the silver ornamentation of Eruins sacred lily, and then the whole flag leaped from behind the hill.
Matthew narrowed his eyes.
That was not the banner of the White Lion Guard.
Nor heraldic flag with fir collar
It was a silver, square banner fluttering in the wind, with spike-like textures painted on the banner, and a red ribbon surrounding the silver star and the white moon. Under the stars and the moon is the holy emblem of the silver lily of the royal family of Corkova.
That is the Xingyue Lily Banner that represents Eruin.
Matthew jumped heavily.
He quickly bit the grass root in his mouth and spit it on the ground. The knights who looked back at their men shouted, “The whole team, the whole team, let the spearmen go forward!”
A row of knights appeared on the hill, then in the second and third rows, they lined up neatly down the hill.
The silver armor shone in the sunlight of the day, just like a silvery wave, and the noble private soldier who was fleeing down the hill was panicked.
In fact, there was another army of nobles away from here, but Matthew looked at the unlucky move and realized that they could not save themselves and could not do anything for themselves. He could only pray that those **** idiots dont help himself.
“The Tonigels must be crazy …”
Matthews mind was really messy at this moment. He finally realized who the opponent was. It was the Tonigels White Lion Knight. They must have come from Orta.
But they dared to attack the coalitions front line on the Old River.
The noble knight not far away finally reacted, and quickly turned his spearmen to turn, the whole team, but it was too late, the river beach shook, and a silver wave rushed in the distance.
Some people started screaming back, the thin front formed by the remaining spearmen couldnt stop the terrible army, they were rushed. Matthew saw that the noble knight was poked off by a shot, and then stepped on his brain. His eyes were mixed with white brain and splashed out, and then fell into a mass of snow.
