Lord of the Oasis Chapter 457: .The mercenary caught in infighting
Rolfe rode away, and the roar echoed across the plain.
This was a fun and exciting raid. For the light cavalry group, this was the best tactic. It could wipe out part of the enemy's strength without any defense, and it was a reflection of tactical value.
Now, the allied nobles are obviously not sleeping well!
No way.
They could not have imagined that in the plains and wilderness outside the Stone Pass, there was such a force of light cavalry, like a pack of wolves lurking in the dark, who could pounce on them at any time and give them a severe blow. Hit hard!
If it's just a simple offensive and defensive battle, that's all.
A coalition of nobles that lacks light cavalry will not really go into the field.
Although the number of knights and servants of the nobles is close to 5,000 people, but these knights and knights and servants are the family of the nobles, how can they be consumed in this battle?
This is what they can rely on to talk. If they lose military power, their final interests will also be reduced!
They are only pioneers after all.
It's an early bird.
The real time to wait for the split is yet to come.
It is also those top nobles who do the bulk of the business and divide the spoils among their scars.
These nobles all understand the reasoning, especially when there are nearly 20,000 mercenary groups around them, their own knight servants and recruited infantry are the only way to protect themselves!
How could a lowly mercenary compare to the levies that he had worked so hard to cultivate?
So they didn't act rashly.
No knight attendants came to pursue them.
Occasionally, some angry cavalry chased after him, and they were also light cavalry among the mercenaries.
They are all light cavalry formed by a group of horse bandits and robbers, willing to fight for a future for the bounty of the nobles, or to avenge their friends who were killed in the raid just now.
But the result is the same.
Without chasing too deep, it was killed by the elite desert robbers who returned to intercept.
The heavy short javelin thrown is very powerful. After the spear tip pierces the leather armor, it can also cause fatal injuries to the body. If these mercenaries are concerned, it is tantamount to fatal injuries, because there is not much recuperation. The environment, and they do not have too many drugs, the fatality rate and sequelae after injury are even more terrifying than the nobles!
Approaching more than 200 mercenary cavalrymen chased after not too far. After more than 80 cavalrymen were killed, they all stopped their pursuit, restrained their horses, cursed a few words in exasperation and returned.
There is a chaotic sound in and out of the village.
Footsteps.
Explanation.
And a dying cry.
The number of mercenaries approaching 3000+ has suffered injuries of varying severity.
There are even a lot of people's injuries, which were caused by their own companions, just to run faster when escaping, or someone blocked their route, so they brazenly swung a knife to kill.
Actually, many of the 800+ corpses were caused by cannibalism.
Rolfe and his hussars did not have the tactical goal of killing people.
Instead of causing a riot.
It was the night before the general attack, and their tactical goal was to demoralize.
As long as there is a riot, the mercenaries who have not slept or have not slept well all night will not have the strong morale at all, and continue to attack the Stone Pass, thus attracting pressure to the Fatis on the flank battlefield.
This is also the tactic agreed upon by both parties, and it is an excellent tactic that complements each other.
Now the advantages of this tactic are also reflected.
In the mercenary's tent.
The riot begins.
That's right.
It's a riot, not a riot.
During the previous raid, the act of drawing a knife at an allied force in order to escape finally drew attention.
As more and more bitter masters began to talk to their friends, more and more mercenaries began to quarrel, clash, and even start duels with swords drawn, and even caused infighting among several mercenary groups!
Although mercenaries love money, they also like to form groups, especially in normal times.
This is the power of the team.
So the commotion quickly turned into a riot.
More and more mercenaries are drawing knives, confronting each other, and even dying in duels.
There are more and more grievances and hatreds. Those who usually dislike each other also take this opportunity to deliberately seek trouble, and even start to confront each other with swords, gnashing their teeth, cursing and fighting.
The turmoil quickly turned into infighting, sweeping the entire mercenary camp.
Even the village has been implicated.
The nobles' infantry guarded the street corners tightly to prevent anyone from entering.
Those well-dressed nobles also put on their heavy armors and commanded the knights and servants to guard carefully against the attacks of some mercenaries who were stunned and furious.
The whole village is in chaos, and everyone seems to have forgotten why they came here.
Animosity has gripped everyone's hearts.
No one is on the sidelines.
The sound of fighting continued.
Instead, the number was close to 1,000 before, and the mercenaries who planned to approach the Stone Pass first were not implicated~IndoMTL.com~ After walking a short distance, they saw the direction of the camp behind them. When the cavalry raided the village, they were so frightened that they hurried to take over, using the dense formation to give themselves a sense of security.
It's just that they weren't impacted. Instead, at the camp in the back, the sound of fighting subsided and it appeared more violently.
Someone even set fire to it!
A fire rapidly engulfs the tent colony outside the village.
The raging flames were in the hands of some angry mercenaries, and they completely became the trigger for igniting this area.
The fire was raging, but no one put out the fire. More and more mercenaries were involved in the attack and killing of the enemy. Even the mercenary groups that did not like each other blatantly chose to go to war and fought frantically. .
The fire got bigger and bigger, and the mercenaries outside were stunned.
In fact, many of the mercenaries inside are the same.
Those shrewd people are collecting treasures and quickly fleeing towards the plain outside with their heads down.
The same goes for those who are timid and fearful. They leave behind quickly. The messy ones are like little lambs. They don't dare to stay here.
The team has already fallen into infighting, how could there be any chance of attacking Stone Pass?
The same is true of nobles.
They start to withdraw from the village with their troops in panic.
Even the mercenaries fighting in front of him directly let the knights and servants under him choose to kill them.
The fire has spread from the tent to the village, not to mention these noble knights, even the commoners who were originally driven to the corner, all began to flee, because the fire was completely ignited with the help of the linen tent The tent area, as well as the thatched huts and wooden houses in the village, all fell into a state of roaring burning.
