Lord of the Oasis Chapter 288: .Desert Bandit Tactics
The horn is blown.
A dull, long voice is delivered in this desert.
This is Kant's order. The cavalry below, who have been lined up in a neat queue, moved with the sound of the long horn, and the horses hooves rushed into this flat desert.
Rolfe personally led 120 Salander riders, clenching the machete and looking solemn.
And the 220 desert robbers dressed in light clothes have already rushed out, like sparrows scattered in the sky, and more like wolves scattered in all directions, waiting for an opportunity.
The Sarandians have a soul-based familiarity with the desert.
They are the people living in the desert.
Be the elite of the desert!
At the post station, the caravan guards and motorcades were restless. Looking at the caravan leaders at the top of the post station, they panicked, as if they had encountered a horse thief. leave.
Even when I saw Rolf lead the cavalry to resist, I still felt uneasy.
Including the merchants on the roof.
Everyone can see the fighting power of both sides.
Rolf is indeed ferocious, like a robber leader, but that doesn't mean combat effectiveness!
600 fully armed, chain mail, well-trained, elite knight attendants, plus the knights who lead the team as commanders, want to exterminate the same number of horse thieves, it is very easy!
A regular army is an elite force capable of crushing bandit gangs.
Na Rolf's troops.
The most numerous desert robbers are still poor light cavalry in leather armor.
In the battle sequence of the Principality of Lions, only the troops responsible for reconnaissance, except for the poorest and poorest nobles, will use these cavalry, that is, those caravan guards, will be equipped with this kind of armor.
Although leather armor has a certain defensive effect, it is extremely limited.
Even those robbers and horse thieves with aristocratic backgrounds do not each have a set of chain armor, such as two layers of iron-inlaid leather armor. How can they be like these light cavalry led by Rolfe, the armor is too pitiful See.
Even if there are 120 Salander riders who look similar to the knights.
But there are very few.
This is against those knights and servants, and they will be crushed on the spot in minutes!
These businessmen's hearts are beating fast.
Looking at Kant, who had his back to him and was still holding a silver cup, his eyes were also very bad.
They can already guess that these cavalry are all of Kant's capital. Maybe in the Naron desert, if you are careful, you can completely defend the sentry oasis and this post, but if you fight against the strong, you will definitely fight.
The army of 600 knight attendants can already be called the regular army of the Principality of Lions.
And these businessmen have different minds.
Looking at Kant's eyes, it even implies resentment.
The servility before and the fear now are the reasons for these businessmen to resent Kant.
As long as Kant loses his troops as a support, the nobles behind these businessmen will stretch their hands into this desert, just like the knights and servants appearing now, and maybe there will be some discussions due to the open and secret battles of the nobles .
If these knights do kill them, it means war between nobles!
The salt mines in this desert will not be swallowed by a few nobles alone.
It can only be a win-win situation.
But this win-win will definitely not include Kant, the original lord of the Naron Desert.
The merchants looked at each other, each with a heavy breath, nodded each other, and understood the meaning in their eyes. Now that they are united, they find that they are not so afraid of these soldiers and Kant. The confidence to unite appears in their hearts and can fight against the Kant Chamber. Phoenix Nine Heavens
But this is just their illusion. The royal knights and the light infantry watched the small movements behind the backs of the group of businessmen, their faces were expressionless, but their eyes were extremely vigilant.
If Kant speaks, there will be blood and blood on this roof.
They can do it.
But Kant did not speak, nor did he command.
Shaking the red sugar water in the silver cup, the sweet and greasy feeling in the mouth has not dissipated. Looking at the dust and a famous rider in the distance, the smile on the corner of his mouth still remains.
Two cavalry units are approaching.
The cavalry team of 600 knight attendants slowly slowed down, as if they had something to say.
But the two wings, riding desert horses that are suitable for desert rushing, the desert robbers dressed in light clothes did not stop, quickly flanking on both sides, bending over and arching their backs, grabbing the reins and riding the horses wildly.
While Rolfe led the Salander riders to a stop, 120 people formed a 3-row line, armed with long spears and lined up in a charge attitude.
The tactics employed by both are different.
But close contact!
This is the wolf pack tactics that the Sarandians learned when they fought against the Khudges.
The scattered desert robbers are the wolves that lure and drive away the enemy, while the Sarandian riders who are lined up in a charge posture are the wolf king guards who give the enemy the final blow and completely tear the enemy's throat!
They are small in number but well structured and tactical.
Hundreds of years of disputes in Calradia have turned these nations into war machines!
600 knight attendants slow down.
They spotted desert robbers scattered on both sides.
But based on their own strength, they chose to ignore it, but they still moved closer to each other, guarded the surrounding with shields, and planned to move forward and talk to the opposing cavalry who were standing.
It is best to deal with these enemies without bloodshed. They come here mainly to deter.
Countess Agatha's order is clear.
Destroy Baron Kant's armed forces, control the young baron, and indirectly control the Naron Desert.
As for those merchants who come here, if they dare to resist, they will all be killed. If they do not resist, they will gather together with the troops of the surrendered Baron Kant and be buried alive in the desert.
The desert of Naron does not need to have other people's forces besides them.
Leading the team are 2 great knights.
The rank and file commanders are 40 knights, and the rest are knight attendants.
This is the reliance of the Gale Mercenary Corps once across the 3 counties of the Principality of Lions. They are usually quiet, but as long as there is action, they will appear and show their fangs.
These secret hands of Agatha, the countess of East County, have always been known for their blood and ruthlessness.
But their ideas were miscalculated.
Rolfe didn't mean to talk to them at all.
I don't even have the idea of being at a disadvantage.
Seeing the other party slowing down at a distance of 500 meters, he seemed to be trying to express his negotiating appearance. The corners of his mouth curled into a disdainful smile.
This is an offensive, don't hold back order!
Orders to the Desert Bandit.
"Puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff"
The horseshoe strikes the sand. [Comprehensive] Raiders Code
There is a steady stream of strange noises.
The desert robbers rode their horses and ran wildly on both wings, revolving around the 600 knights and attendants, neither approaching nor far away, they converged into one place, just like wolves and vultures waiting for an opportunity.
It's just their equipment that makes those knight servants disguised as the Gale Mercenary Corps show a mocking face.
What can these leather-clad cavalry do?
In close combat, these cavalry will be chased and slaughtered by these knight attendants!
Their Gale mercenary group did not have a false reputation. They once also captured the border towns of the Silver Plate Kingdom. Then kill easily.
The equipment advantage, sometimes so terrifying, can influence the battlefield situation.
And they're still cavalry!
But how could the battlefield turn out as they expected.
Just like the invincible heavy cavalry of Swadia back then, it faced the highly mobile cavalry archers of the Kugits on the grasslands, and encountered the bludgeoning cavalry of the Sarandians in the desert. , for a while, it was impossible to distinguish the advantages of the enemy and us.
Don't use your original thinking to measure your opponent, it will be fatal on the battlefield!
The desert robbers will teach this arrogant group of knights today.
What is tragic!
Rapid horses rushed around them, encircling these knights and attendants in a circle, and just after the warm-up of the desert horses under the crotch, these desert robbers drew their short javelins behind their backs.
And the ring of the horse galloping, unknowingly, gradually compressed inward.
Approach slowly from a range of more than 50 meters.
Finally to a range of about 10 meters, both sides can see each other's faces.
The knights' squires narrowed their eyes.
In horror, the kite-shaped shield in their hands instantly lifted.
"Whoosh whoosh"
The sound of breaking air is constant.
A series of black shadows flew out of the circular array of the desert robbers galloping wildly in an instant.
It's the short javelin they already held in their hands.
Heavily nailed to the raised kite-shaped shields.
"Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang"
The dull thumping sound was incessant, and the shield was pierced all over by the stout short javelin.
What's more, the short javelin thrown at extreme speed was nailed to the helmet, and the sharp point of the javelin instantly pierced the helmet, smashed the skull, and directly killed the hapless knight servant!
Born out of the Khugeite ring-mounted archery ~IndoMTL.com~, in the hands of desert robbers, it has become a shortened version of the javelin.
But the effect remains the same.
The lethality is stronger because of the throwing of the javelin!
The Javelin is armor-piercing.
At short distances, within a range of 20 meters, these desert robbers threw short javelins with the inertia of extremely fast rushing attacks. As long as they hit the body, it is deadly and can instantly solve the opponent's terrifying weapons!
220 desert robbers, each with 4 short javelins.
Instant time.
Javelins rained down on this group of unprepared knight attendants.
People shouted horses neighing, blood splashed everywhere!
