Lord of the Oasis Chapter 475: .Unrest in the Principality of Lions
In just a few days, the logistics and supply lines of the Knights were devastated.
A large number of transport convoys from Lion Fort and Lionheart City were all targeted by the light cavalry led by Rolfe, and then took advantage of the night when the crowd was slack, and launched a surprise attack, without too much entanglement, throwing Run on the oil.
As the flames raged, although the convoy's personnel did not suffer too many casualties, a lot of supplies were lost.
Sometimes even people are slaughtered.
Outright robbery!
Not true.
Although the Principality of Lions is constantly filthy among the nobles, there are actually not many real robbers.
They are all wolf dogs raised by nobles. Only at certain times will they wantonly attack the caravan, but as long as the news from the owner arrives, it is like being chained again, completely silent.
Therefore, the various forces in the Principality of Lions are all dogs raised by nobles.
Need to be pulled out to bite.
Not required.
Then leave me at home in peace.
As for the current Rolf, who unscrupulously began to commit crimes in the plains and various farms in the southern county, burning, killing, looting, and doing everything, that is simply something that can't be imagined!
Because of this, the management at all levels of Nanjun County, those nobles, did not react at all!
Three days.
Rolfe burned more than 50 farms in South County.
More than a dozen villages were burned, causing nearly 10,000 refugees to gather towards Lionheart City.
The entire South County Territory was in chaos. In addition to attacking at any time, looting and looting the food of the transport team, and even distributing the food to those refugees, Rolfe made the situation even more chaotic.
They are all light cavalry, so the Southern Commander Knights, who are accustomed to fighting in groups, are dazed.
That's where the irregular cavalry comes in.
Harassment!
In addition to causing mobility blows to infantry on the battlefield, in non-battlefield areas, it can also cause various troubles to the enemy, and even non-combat attrition, such as famine caused by lack of food!
Of course there will be famine in the army.
What's more, a force of more than 20,000 heavy cavalry requires an astronomical amount of food!
The food consumed every day can stand up to the consumption of 50,000 infantrymen. If the food needs to increase before the war, after all, the physical strength of the troops must be guaranteed in the short term to ensure that they can survive on the battlefield. continuous combat time! Mythology High School
Rolfe's attack on the Knights of the Southern County Commander was based on this.
Strike the food path.
harassment of traditional growing areas.
Expel farmers to become refugees to destroy agricultural structures.
And even blockade areas, strike transport lines, harass cities and raiding troops.
The purpose is to keep harassing and constantly harassing the enemy in this battle that is about to continue, and in this high-pressure state, it will collapse on its own, or go to destruction!
The noble infantry, who had already formed a defensive formation, did not care about the charge of the Knights at all.
An infantryman armed with lances and spears that can be arranged in a square formation is a hedgehog.
Want to attack and charge?
Just kidding!
Those members of the Knights will definitely leave corpses one after another on those sharp spearheads and spearheads!
Even if the weight and inertia of the warhorse are used to break through a part of the pike phalanx, how can the cost-effectiveness of the two sides be proportional? A group of inferior northern county leaders conscripted militias and mercenary peasants, who received only a few months of military training every year, can exchange the lives of this group of knights who have been training all year round.
It's worth it just by looking at it, not to mention that in order to break through the layered, almost dense defensive pike phalanx, only five thousand knights or knight attendants can be killed in action!
The most important thing is the word death.
5,000 members of the Knights died in action, doesn't that mean that everyone who is left is injured?
This is still a conservative estimate, because among the more than 20,000 infantrymen, there is a heavy cavalry of more than 3,000 people, and they are all armored with horses, and their elite level is no less than that of the knights of Nanjun!
If a battle does break out between the two sides, it won't work unless one of them falls!
The battle will be horrific!
But.
As it stands.
If the troops of the Northern Territory really want to stand by and stick to the edge of the Southern Territory in a defensive posture, then they are really like hedgehogs, so that the noble knights of the Southern Territory will not be able to speak.
Even if the North County Leader's troops move a little bit, they can form some gaps and loopholes.
That's the portal the Knights rushed in.
However, the infantrymen of the North County Leader did not move, and remained in place.
I don't even care about the convoys. No matter how sparsely those convoys pull in all kinds of supplies, even the leader of Nanjun sent light cavalry to investigate or harass them, and he didn't care at all. The fickle chief is too fascinated: kiss and hold
The biggest reason is that, as the commander of the North County Command, Fatis doesn't care at all.
The advantage of the Southern Territory lies in the knights composed of heavy cavalry.
Not light cavalry.
Those light cavalry who wear simple leather armor, or no armor at all, only need to scout.
It is ridiculous to want to attack a convoy protected by pikemen. As long as the convoy is formed into a formation of vehicles and connected into a low wall, the light cavalry with spears or swords will not be at all. no effect.
After a few days, the knights of the Southern Commander recalled their light cavalry.
Not because of bad results.
It's because of more unexpected trouble!
In the various farms in the depths of Nanjun territory, the slaves who originally belonged to the prisoners of war in the Yinpan Kingdom actually set off a huge uprising, killed many farm managers, occupied the farms and began to rebel against Nanjun the rule of the leader.
This was an extremely unexpected event that destroyed the rest of the South County Collar farm in almost no time.
The rebellion has broken out!
Except for the surrounding areas of Lion Fort and Lion Heart City, the rest of the place is a mess of rebels.
That's right, those captives of the Silver Plate Kingdom rebelled and called themselves the rebel army. Instead of gathering in place, they spread in all directions, destroying the farms in the Nanjun County of the Principality of Lions everywhere, saving more slaves, and at the same time looting more Many peasants have turned the civilians who originally lived in the villages into rebels.
In just a few days, it has become an army of more than 20,000 people. Compared with Rolf's light cavalry ~IndoMTL.com~, it is even more ferocious. It swept over everything like locusts and ate it. Drink, kill, burn, completely destroy the Nanjun lord!
The entire north bank of the Risneston River is in total chaos.
Even the private armies of the nobles began to pacify the chaos with difficulty, but the effect was limited.
Everyone's eyesight was drawn to the rebels in Hebei County, and they never thought that a rebellion would be launched by the excellent slaves who were guarded by their side.
And because it was a rebellion by the captives of the Yinpan Kingdom, they didn't pay attention to the national mood at all. Everything they encountered was burned up, including the lush fields and forests, and even those villages, all destroyed and razed to ruins. Pingdi, it looks like he knows his demise, and he definitely doesn't want to make the Lions Principality feel better!
