Chapter 223 The Battle of Decision(2/2)
Looking at the empty grass beside him, Gonzalo couldn't help but touch his nose.
In fact, his situation is not much better than his opponent. Both sides have already invested in the final reserve team. At this time, it can be said that they have reached the point of exhaustion.
Gonzalo sighed in his heart that he really wanted to meet the Queen of Sicily.
Although he had seen the queen, he had no impression of it, and now he has a strong curiosity about the queen.
In his experience so far, no general has been able to force him to this point on the battlefield. Although he always believed that Alexander was actually commanding the Sicilians, the queen's performance was enough to make Gonzalo feel unbelievable.
"Who could have thought a woman could do this?"
Gonzalo laughed, not knowing whether he was praising his opponent or sarcastic himself, and at the same time looked at the left.
The artillery had not been moved for a long time, which made him a little worried. Although he believed that the Knight Don Decliar could stabilize the flank, it seemed somewhat abnormal that the artillery had not been fired for so long.
The movements of the left wing have always involved Gonzalo's heart. He knew that the real battlefield was on the front. As long as he could defeat the elite troops of the Queen of Sicily on the front, even if he won on the left wing, it would have no meaning to the Sicilians.
But if the left wing was defeated by the enemy before defeating the front Sicilian army, the fate of the Castile army became dangerous.
He trusted Don Decliar Knight Gonzalo. He knew that this knight who likes to dress up is actually a rare military talent, especially because he is good at having a tenacious will that others cannot reach in this ever-changing battle. Sometimes this will is more precious than combat skills.
But now the artillery fire on the left wing has stopped for so long, so it is very likely that the artillery positions have been occupied by the enemy, or that its own army has destroyed the cannons.
But why is Don Decliar? Why is there no news yet?
A faint uneasiness cast a shadow on Gonzalo's originally relaxed heart. Looking at the soldiers on the battlefield who were so tired that they could hardly move their steps, Gonzalo pondered for a moment and gave an order to the flag-holder next to him.
"The military flag goes forward."
"grown ups?"
Several followers looked at Gonzalo in surprise.
They were all experienced soldiers and they also saw that the Sicilian attack was actually the final struggle.
As long as you persist, maybe in the last moment, victory will completely belong to them.
But at this time, Gonzalo not only ordered an active attack, but even ordered the military flag to move forward, which surprised his subordinates.
"We must fight quickly."
Gonzalo muttered to himself in a low voice that only he could hear, and he didn't know why he could no longer wait for this short time.
And a faint shadow of uneasiness gradually enveloped me.
When he saw the Castile's military flag moving forward, Ruosha was already desperate for a moment.
She actually knew better than Gonzalo's situation in her army at this time.
The tight string was already showing signs of breaking, and even if the enemy could hold on for a short while, she might lose her last will afterwards.
What Ruosha is looking forward to now is to persevere, even if it is just for a little longer.
But seeing the Castiles start to fight back, Ruosha's heart gradually sinks.
How long can she last? She asked herself secretly in her heart.
She noticed that the followers around her had begun to quietly prepare for various retreats.
After all, they are now on the enemy's territory. Once they are defeated, they must consider that they may encounter attacks and hostility from the enemy's people on the way to retreat.
So when necessary, the queen must act anonymously, or even disguise herself as a retreat.
In that way, all kinds of preparations must be made in advance.
Ruosha sighed softly. She was not such a stubborn person. When the situation on the battlefield was not good, she would not make sacrifices blindly. At this time, what she should consider is how to lead her army to safely withdraw from the enemy's territory.
But before that, she had to make sure that her brother could retreat as safely as hers.
"Go and tell my brother to ask him to come back," Ruosha ordered her confidant followers, and then lowered her voice and said, "Tell him not to care about the Catalans, I just want him to come back safely."
The entourage looked at the queen deeply. Of course, not many people knew about the unusual relationship between the brother and sister, but as the queen's closest subordinates, they could still see something vaguely.
The confidant nodded silently and signaled that he had understood. He turned over and jumped onto the mount to take risks around the front line to find the Duke.
However, just as the man's mount had not taken a few steps, the sound of a shell falling from the ground on the position made him look back.
Then there is the second and the third one.
Even as an amateur, you can see from the landing points of those shells that are obviously the result of blind shooting without targets.
However, although these shells posed almost no threat, the officers around Ruosha suddenly felt refreshed from the despair of already desperate despair.
"Wait a moment!"
Ruosha was the first to react. She turned around and shouted at the follower who had not yet run away, and then stared at the battlefield with rapid breathing.
Those shells did not hit any targets, but this was not the key.
What is important is that the shells fell behind the Castile army, and the Sicilian artillery position could not be hit there.
So where did these shells come from?
Ruosha clenched the hilt of the sword around her waist, and at this moment she felt the blood in her body seemed to be boiling.
Gonzalo also noticed the shells.
In fact, one of the shells fell almost near where he was before. If he was still standing there now, he might have been blocked.
Gonzalo was not grateful for his luck. On the contrary, he felt a sudden chill in his heart.
If the first shell was just a lucky chance, then when the next shell fell, Gonzalo already knew what was going on.
His face suddenly became extremely ugly. Before the people around him spoke, he had already ordered urgently: "Order the cavalry on the right wing to reinforce! Don't worry about their enemies, reinforce the left wing!"
Even if you try to keep calm, watching the general's mood changes instantly make the people around Gonzalo realize that the situation may have changed.
They immediately ordered one after another, and for a moment they were a little confused.
At the same time, Ruosha, who had been staring at the changes in the front line, finally let out a short and excited cry. Her eyes quickly swept across the front line and then began to issue orders:
"Order the left wing to attack, bite the Castiles tightly, and order the Kingdom army to advance forward!"
