Lord of the Oasis Chapter 481: .The tragic breakout
The 3,000 knights and knight attendants who survived were completely in a desperate situation.
The place where they rest is a specially selected abandoned farmhouse, which is located in a canyon, just to avoid the cold night wind at night.
But now it seems that such a choice was a real self-digging grave.
The canyon runs from north to south, just enough to block the cold night wind blowing from the west. On both sides of the canyon are steep mountain walls more than 30 meters high. At this time, there are two or three thousand uprisings on each side of the mountain wall The army used various long-range weapons and was ruthlessly attacking the remaining knights and knight attendants.
Although the ranged weapons of the insurgents are not good, there are only a few war bows and heavy crossbows, most of which are hunting bows and light crossbows, as well as simple cut javelins, and even primitive improvised with two leather cords sling.
However, these long-range attackers could not hold back at this time, occupying a favorable position.
Condescending!
The drop is more than 30 meters!
With such a high drop, even if the rebel army randomly picked up a stone and threw it at the densely surrounded southern county knights and knight attendants in the canyon, they could smash their heads and blood.
Because of this, a sharp arrow whizzed down, with a huge speed generated by the high and low, and penetrated the iron-inlaid leather armor of the knight's attendant without any hindrance, causing a lot of damage to the knight's attendant. kill.
Only five hundred well-armed knights can rely on their well-defended chain mail and iron helmets to avoid bow and arrow damage. Of course, there were also unlucky knights who were seriously injured by the arrows being shot from the iron rings on the chainmail into the bows and arrows.
Not only bows and crossbows, but even more terrifying are javelins, which are far heavier than short and thin bows and arrows. Although they are only wooden javelins, the drop of more than 30 meters gives these javelins a terrifying speed, and their lethality far exceeds that of an uprising. Inferior bows and arrows in the hands of the army.
Even if it is a full-fledged knight in chain mail, an iron helmet, and an extremely strong defense, if he is hit by this javelin, his bones and tendons will inevitably be broken. If he is hit on the iron helmet on his head, , the iron helmet will be dented a lot, and the knight will most likely be directly stunned.
On this cruel battlefield, fainting and falling to the ground is equivalent to death.
What is more terrifying than the javelin is the huge stone falling from the sky, it is not uncommon to directly smash the knights and knight servants into meat pie.
Under the bleak moonlight, ruthless killings are taking place.
Countless bows, javelins, and boulders were shot down from both sides of the canyon by the long-range soldiers of the uprising army. In the huge height difference, the inertia produced extremely terrifying lethality, giving the knights and knight attendants of the southern county at the bottom of the canyon. , resulting in a large number of casualties.
"Ah--"
A southern county knight's squire gritted his teeth, exerting all his strength, waving a knight's sword with both hands to sway a bow and arrow that was rapidly shot at him, but could not resist a terrifying javelin that came one after another, directly The javelin penetrated the iron-inlaid leather armor on his body, passed through his heart, and let out an extremely shrill scream.
In just a short time, more than 20 knights died in the canyon, and more than 300 knight attendants died directly.
Everyone gets hurt.
Above the canyon, five Sarion lion knights wearing bright plate armor, full-covered helmets, and only a pair of ruthless eyes, stood quietly behind Rolf.
The commander-in-chief of the insurgents stood side by side with Rolfe, half a position behind.
He looked at the desperate Southern County Knights, with a mocking smile on his lips, and said indifferently: "These guys are finished!"
The commander-in-chief of the uprising army, Kloder, echoed and smiled, with unconcealed excitement and fear in his eyes: "This is thanks to the information you provided and the attack plan!"
"These guys are courting death!"
Rolfe's voice was filled with disdain.
During the war, these knights camped so casually at night, and the sentinels were unbelievably rare.
Five orders of knights, 500 official knights, and 4500 knight attendants form a heavy cavalry team.
From the data on paper, this team is an absolute battlefield elite, but their previous performance, in Rolf's words:
"The third-rate thieves on Calradia are a hundred times stronger than them!"
Five thousand elite soldiers, twenty night outposts, this is a joke.
The end of such arrogance is tragic.
Being trapped in this small canyon, besieged from all sides, it is difficult to find a way out.
"Edmund, the **** of war, knights, it's time for us to fight!"
In the canyon, the only big knight among the five knights, a powerful flame burst out from his body, pointed the exquisite knight sword in the direction of the north exit of the canyon, and said in a deep voice: "Our only way to survive is Here, knights, charge with me for the glory of the **** of war, Edmond!"
The heavy knight's spear of this great knight is placed beside his warhorse, otherwise the four-meter knight's spear with his power is far more lethal than the fine knight's sword, especially in this situation.
"For the glory of the **** of war, Emond, charge!" All the knights responded to the call of the great knight and shouted with ghastly faces.
The members of the knights in desperation have been forced to a situation where there is no way out, which has inspired their belief in desperate efforts and gathered a strong morale.
This big knight is wearing thick full-iron plate armor and a fine linen robe with a sword. He wields the knight's sword in his hand, knocks the arrows and javelins that are constantly attacking, and leads the remaining knights and knight attendants They, towards the north exit of the canyon, charged away quickly.
This direction is indeed their only way out!
The members of the Knights in the canyon have been blocked in the narrow valley, and the exits at the north and south are all densely packed with rebels.
At this time, the soldiers of the rebel army blocked on both sides. Hundreds of spear infantry stood in the front three rows. The three-meter-long spears in their hands were all raised either horizontally or diagonally, jabbing frantically. He stabbed the knights who were trapped in the canyon.
The insurgents who were arranged at the forefront were all elite infantry soldiers who had been captured by the Silver Plate Kingdom. They were very proficient in spear battles, and they could do their best to resist even the onslaught of heavy cavalry.
At this time, these dismounted knights, in this spear formation, lost countless lives.
The fierce spear formation blockade, and the falling rain of arrows, javelins, and stones, forced the knights of these knights into a desperate situation.
The longer it drags on, the more they die, and the less hope they have of breaking out of this impasse.
If you want to survive, you can only break through while there are enough knights alive. ()
