Lord of the Oasis Chapter 474: .The light cavalry plundering in the dark
The final battle has not yet begun.
Both sides are in a stalemate, carefully testing each other's reactions.
The most important thing is that the troops led by Nanjun have not yet delivered enough materials to support a battle. After all, 20,000 cavalrymen have gathered, and their daily consumption can exceed 50,000 infantrymen.
If the advantage is not prepared, the troops of the Nanjun Leader will not dare to attack easily.
After all, the Kant army on the opposite side also has nearly 30,000 troops.
Although most are infantry.
However, if you form a dense defensive formation, even if 20,000 cavalry are surrounded by 20,000 cavalry and break through at a critical point, the casualties of your own are not expected to be too low, especially if the infantry is dominated by long spears. Down.
The nobles of the East County Territory have already sent a large amount of materials through the factors of geographical location.
Of course there are plenty of spears to defend against cavalry.
The current commander, Phatis, has ordered all infantry to be equipped with spears.
In addition to the fact that the North County Commander had been equipped with a lot of spears and spears before, most of the soldiers had the ability to form a spear formation to resist cavalry charges, and even form a spear wall to slow down the advance and mobility of the enemy cavalry.
Because of this, the noble knights in the southern county did not attack.
They are waiting.
Time is on their side.
As they drag on, the more morale and stamina they will have, the more supplies they will have.
On the other hand, the North County leader of the coalition army led by Fatis, the morale will be lower and lower, and even the material consumption will be too large, let alone fighting, as long as the food is cut off for two or three days, it is estimated that it will collapse on its own, without the need for the South County leader The knights get their hands on it!
It's just that they're having a lot of trouble right now.
There are 20 knights of 20,000 people, but they all occupy 20 farms.
Approach the front line of the confrontation.
But in these farms, even if there are constant patrols of knights and squires, they can still spot the enemy light cavalry who occasionally break in. They don't come close, they turn their heads and run, but they only notice when they chase. is a trap.
Because in the hands of the enemy light cavalry, a sharp and heavy short javelin was thrown over.
Reflexive throw.
With the speed and inertia of their own chasing horses.
In less than 2 days, nearly 6oo more knight attendants were seriously injured or killed!
Heavy casualties.
But when they chased out to surround them, they encountered more light cavalry.
Rolfe's light cavalry had already scattered all over the mountains and plains. They did not lead the knights and squires into the line of defense of their heavy cavalry and infantry. Instead, they directly pulled them into the depths of the South County Territory and into the plains.
The roads are also smooth due to the agricultural development of the South County Territory.
A dirt or paved road that used to be convenient for transportation has now become a channel for troops to advance.
Even if the road is blocked, it doesn't matter. They ride their horses into the flat fields, and they can gallop very fast.
Even the knights and squires retreated because they were afraid that they would go further alone after chasing them too far.
Reluctantly wait for the final battle.
Therefore, it can be said that it was very easy for Rolf and the others to rush into the South County Territory.
Those farms have long been empty, even the warehouses are empty, leaving nothing of value to prevent them from being used by the enemy. It also means that there are no troops to defend them, and they are allowed to move on their own.
Even they were almost within the confines of Lionheart City.
That is the largest city in the Southern Territory.
It was also one of the only two trading cities in the Duchy of Lions.
But Rolfe did not order to enter the area of Lionheart City. Instead, he led his troops back, spreading out in the starry night to kill any enemies that might appear, or defeating small patrols and causing damage in the rear.
This is also to increase the pressure on the troops and nobles of the Southern Commander.
No way.
Rolfe also knows that time is not on his side.
If you don't want to be dragged to death, you can only rely on the infantry and those knights to consume.
Then at the most critical moment, let his light cavalry harass him, and then let the Fatis' heavy cavalry end the battle, even if there is a tragic leftover, or if both sides fight to lose both, it is good for them.
Because this is not the main force of Kant's troops.
In the distance.
The mouth of the Resniston River.
A force of Rhodoks and Nords is being assembled.
As long as the decisive battle here begins, a dagger pierced into the heart will appear on this wide river, led by Kant himself, to capture the Lionheart City on the Xia River, and to give it to the nobles of Nanjun. The knights, with a ruthless punch, the best plan is to directly defeat the resistance of the Southern Commander!
At the very least, the leaders of Nanjun County will fall into a state of collapse and disorder in a short period of time, and then their troops will gather with each other and rush directly to the Lion Castle, the administrative center of the Principality of Lions, and the former home of Kant!
…………
Starry night, the fields outside the territory of Nanjun.
Rolfe is galloping past with a line of light cavalry.
On the horizon ahead, there is a long dragon marching holding a torch. It looks like a carriage caravan. It belongs to a team that transports daily supplies to the knights in Nanjun County.
This is their goal.
As light cavalry, their tactical mission includes disrupting enemy supply lines.
Rolfe is also aware of his position, and after a little thought, he waves forward.
"Um-"
The long horn sound was blown immediately.
The desert robber next to him as the commander put down his horn~IndoMTL.com~ with his backhand drawn out his spear, and the team members behind him all looked at Rolfe, and slowly incited the warhorse under his crotch to run forward.
"Kill!"
Naturally, Rolfe had nothing to say. After waving his hand forward, he also drew out his machete.
Around them, groups of light cavalry appeared in the darkness, like a borrowed prairie wolf, roaring out of the night, heading towards the road ahead, the already nervous transport team rush away.
There are more than 500 people in their team, and there are hundreds of carriages.
But Rolf's hussars are 3oo.
Whistling by.
These desert robbers take a near-professional approach to raiding convoys.
As the short javelins were thrown, taking advantage of the fact that the defending transport team did not respond, he picked up the machete and rushed directly into these transport teams, which were mostly grooms, and slashed wildly.
Of course they don't need to live, especially in the plains of this southern county, leaving a live is to expose themselves.
War is always cruel.
"Sir!"
A desert bandit elite is coming.
There was a bit of joy on his face: "It's all food, it should be enough for the knights for 3 days." He took out the flint for fire and the water bag with oil, and raised his eyebrows: "Would you like to come? A barbecue party?"
"Don't be too busy." Rolfe glanced at him, and said lightly: "Let's go when you're done burning!"
"Yes!"
He didn't dare to continue the rhetoric.
Find some linen to link the gathered carriages. After pouring kerosene and throwing a fire, the raging flames suddenly rose into the sky, illuminating the plain, even if it was separated by a dozen or so You can see clearly.
It is estimated that even those farms where the Knights are stationed can be seen clearly by relying on the watchtower. ()
