Lord of the Oasis Chapter 455: .Sneak attack in the night
The coalition of nobles from North County has finally reached the vicinity of Stone Pass.
The originally rough dirt road has completely disappeared from the traces of caravans and pedestrians.
Only in the flat wilderness in the distance, you can occasionally see a few figures on horses, passing by quickly, flashing by in the night, even the cavalry sent by the noble coalition can't catch up.
These cavalrymen are desert robbers, scattered outside, following these noble coalition forces from a distance.
The mission is reconnaissance.
If the light cavalry of the nobles come to drive them away, they will leave without any hesitation.
But when the hussars pull back, the desert bandits will follow like flies.
Hanging far away, the distance between the two sides will never exceed 100 meters. This is simply too easy for desert robbers, and it is easier than following those caravans in the Sarand desert.
After all, they are all gangsters, excellent light cavalry honed in the desert!
Even when the hussars got too close.
After staying away from the noble coalition.
These desert robbers brazenly showed their fangs, pulled out short javelins in their backhands, rushed over in twos and threes, and shot all those light cavalry soldiers who had no means of long-range attack to death under their horses.
Desert Bandits are extremely confident in their mobility and agility, as well as throwing their javelins!
Just look at the light cavalry of the noble coalition.
The original chase was full of anger.
Unconsciously.
Deep into the hinterland of the plains, far from the allied nobles.
I originally saw that the desert robbers who stopped were still full of excitement, and wanted to rush up to solve this group of sneaky guys, but unexpectedly, those sneaky guys recoiled instead.
Before they could draw their swords to fight, they were nailed to the horse's back by a shower of short javelins thrown out.
Regular combat?
For desert bandits, this is the norm!
Stop-and-go along the way, harassing the noble coalition forces, these desert robbers are like having fun.
Except for a few unlucky ghosts who got too close to the formation of the noble coalition and were killed by a rain of arrows fired by a powerful crossbow inside, no desert robbers were injured, but in the end it was a loss.
And in a slightly sunken ancient river channel in the distance of the noble coalition, thousands of cavalry were staying.
Rolf is here.
The surrounding cavalry are also light cavalry, desert bandits and desert bandits elite.
There are thousands of people, and there are also desert robbers who have just recruited from the sentry oasis. The current number is 600 ordinary desert robbers and 1,000 desert robbers who are elites for raiding operations.
The common desert robbers who went out to follow the noble coalition before.
And this caused a lot of losses to the light cavalry of the nobles.
"Master Rolfe!"
A desert bandit is approaching quickly.
Respectfully turned over and dismounted, and half-kneeled in front of Rolfe to report: "The coalition of nobles from the North County Command has appeared in a village about 30 miles south of the Stone Pass. They are in the temporary camp of Anza, and they seem to be preparing to rest. ."
"Hmm." Rolfe sat on a chair with a map in front of him: "Have you notified Fatis?"
"Already scheduled."
The desert robber nodded: "It is estimated that he has reached the Stone Pass now, and Lord Fatis has also received the news." After a pause, he reported: "However, the group of nobles seems to be trying to take advantage of the Black launched an attack, and in our observation, some impatient mercenaries are still heading towards the Stone Pass."
"Attack in the dark? It's really interesting!" Rolf sneered, put down the map in his hand and said, "Do those mercenaries think they can easily defeat the defenders on the city wall?"
"They have siege weapons."
The desert robber reported: "It seems to be a bed crossbow, in the accompanying carriage, and after bribing some mercenaries, they said that there are parts of the trebuchets, and it is estimated that these trebuchets are the siege. main equipment.”
"This is difficult." Rolf touched the short beard on his chin: "Are you sure?" He looked at the desert robber, and after getting a positive answer, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Let me All the lads are ready, the linen is ready, and we are ready to welcome our friends."
"Yes!" The Desert Bandit stepped back, spreading the news throughout the cavalry.
This is preparation for battle.
30 minutes later.
Rolfe rode his horse across the plains.
Spears, machetes, and short javelins are ready, along with linen wrapped on horseback.
These light cavalry troops moved forward rapidly, rumbling like rolling thunder, but when they were about to reach the vicinity of the village, they quickly stopped and ran, and all followed the orders of their respective captains. Horses move forward.
Moonlight and starlight illuminate the earth, and even in the middle of the night, you can still see far away.
But it looks blurry, not real at all.
It's nothing compared to the daytime.
Therefore, Rolf and the others can slowly approach the village where the allied nobles are stationed.
Don't even care about the roaming hussars, there are desert robbers like crazy, feinting on the other side of the village~IndoMTL.com~ This is part of the plan for them, just like they As it did before.
In the Sarand desert, the feint attracts the attention of the caravan guards, and the other side is the main force that really loots the caravan!
"Okay."
Rolf leads the horse ahead.
They did not encounter any scouting and patrolling hussars along the way.
Because just on the other side of the village, 600 desert robbers were cursing the coalition like crazy, attracting the attention of the light cavalry, and going back and forth, hitting and running, not fighting, also Instead of retreating immediately, it was like a fly flying back and forth, completely annoying the light cavalry that belonged to the noble coalition.
A large number of light cavalry troops that were originally used for reconnaissance and patrolling were all dispatched in order to hunt down these 600 desert robbers, and even some light infantry were sent out.
"Ready for battle!"
Rolfe's eyes were deep, he slowly pulled out the scimitar from his waist, turned his head and said, "Start action!"
"Go!"
The captains gave orders.
They began to trot quickly, leading the warhorse to trot on the soft soil, and the soles of their feet and the warhorse's hooves were wrapped in linen, so the sound was not roaring, but rather strangely muffled ring.
Like a rock rolling, although there is a sound, it can't travel too far.
In this night.
300 meters away is the deep night sky.
And at this short distance, for the cavalry, it is possible to turn up at any time and turn into a charge state!
Looking at the outline of the village in the starry night ahead, and the tents scattered around the village after many torches were lit, Rolfe directly got on his horse, kicked the horse's belly fiercely, and shouted loudly: "Charge !”
"Kill!" 1,000 elite desert robbers rushed over immediately!
