Masked Knight

Chapter 71: [Night battle]

Views:

Dozens of soldiers in the north of the village were looking for a manger in front of a farm to let their horses drink. In the evening, although I saw black smoke coming from most people's chimneys, I just thought it was the smoke from cooking in the villagers' homes and didn't pay much attention to it.

The army of the Dayue Kingdom approached silently. Everyone took off their bells, and the horses' hooves were wrapped in cotton. The horses also held a short stick in their mouths to avoid making any noise as much as possible. The entire army slowly approached the village under the cover of trees on the roadside.

When night fell, when the soldier of the Central Cavalry Corps who was guarding the trunk of a tree to observe the police discovered the enemy, he only had time to utter a exclamation when an arrow suddenly shot through him. He hit his throat and fell from the tree.

But that exclamation was enough to alert dozens of other cavalrymen. Without any hesitation, everyone immediately got on their horses as quickly as possible, and then drew their sabers. A soldier also immediately blew the warning horn.

When Rody and Siege arrived with their men, there were only more than thirty of the fifty cavalry left. Under the leadership of the leading officer, they fought and retreated. The army of Dayue Kingdom probably has nearly a thousand people, all of whom are cavalry. Fortunately, the roads in the village were relatively narrow. Although they had many troops, they could not launch a formation charge on the narrow roads. The officer of the Central Cavalry Corps walked around with his men, shooting at each other with bows and arrows from time to time - especially the officer who was very good at archery. He fell behind dozens of people and shot him down with bows and arrows from time to time. Several enemy troops gradually approaching. These fifty cavalrymen are the guards specially selected by Sieg for Rody. They are all the elites of the Wolf Fang Army. They are the best in both riding and archery. After a fight with the opponent, The grassland aliens who were famous for their cavalry and archery did not take any advantage. Although they killed more than a dozen Langya Army cavalry, they lost nearly thirty people.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Dayue Kingdom were approaching, they suddenly heard a loud shout: "Shoot!"

The knight from the Big Moon Kingdom who was leading the chase was shot through by several arrows and fell from his horse before he could react.

Rody ordered his men to disperse on both sides of the main road in the center of the village. When the forwards of the Dayue Kingdom entered the shooting range, they immediately started shooting fiercely. In the darkness, the army of the Dayue Kingdom did not know how many arrows the other side had shot. After the leading dozen cavalrymen were shot down, the cavalrymen who followed were tripped over by their companions before they could stop themselves, and the speed of the entire team immediately slowed down.

Before they could react, more than a hundred of Rody's men had already calmly launched the second round of fierce shooting. The Dayue Kingdom had no time to notice how many troops the opponent had in the darkness, so it just exclaimed loudly: "They have an ambush! There is an ambush!"

At this time, Siege gave an order, and the one hundred cavalry behind him threw away their bows and arrows, took out their sabers and charged forward.

Then the charging horns of the Imperial Cavalry troops sounded simultaneously on both sides of the road. He shouted to kill all day long.

In the darkness, the two cavalrymen collided fiercely, with shouts of killing, screams, the sound of falling horses, and the sound of scimitars cutting through armor from time to time. Rody rushed to the center with more than a dozen people. He was holding a long saber in his hand. With his strong force, no cavalry from the Great Moon Kingdom could be his opponent. Some of them fell off their horses at the first glance. .

With a scoff, Rody raised his scimitar, and the head of a Big Moon Kingdom cavalry rose into the sky. A burst of blood mist sprayed on Rody's face. It was hot and fishy. Roddy didn't bother to wipe the blood off his face. Xue Shang just roared and rushed towards the person next to him.

Although there are many cavalrymen in the Dayue Kingdom, they are very stubborn. The leader with the most powerful force was shot to death by an arrow in the darkness just now in the first rain of arrows. Wherever Rody went at this moment , those ordinary soldiers were no match for him, a warrior close to the fourth level of strength.

On the narrow road, the superior forces of the Dayue Kingdom could not be deployed, and Rody's people were squeezed together with them - at this time, the advantage of the Imperial Army came into play. This central cavalry corps is an elite group trained by Qiege, and they make full use of the coordinated combat in the battle formation. Often, just as a cavalryman from the King of the Moon has blocked a slashing knife, a scimitar suddenly comes from beside him. Cut off half of his head...

On the narrow road, the Dayue Kingdom was forced to fight one-on-one with the Wolf Fang Army. The people behind could not squeeze in at all, so they could only roar loudly in panic. As for the Wolf Fang Army, relying on powerful warriors like Rody, they almost killed and beheaded everyone they met. At one time, more than a hundred Wolf Fang troops actually beat nearly a thousand Dayue Kingdom troops back steadily.

At this time, a rapid bugle sound came from behind Rody, and then the dull sound of horse hooves seemed to trample the entire earth to tremble. Suddenly, a strong, high-pitched voice in the darkness yelled: "Spike-!!"

"Kill!!!" tens of thousands of voices responded in unison in the darkness!

"Kill!!" Rody's soldiers, who were originally fighting with each other, suddenly seemed to become extremely fierce after hearing the cry from behind. More than a hundred people also burst out with an astonishing roar, and the strength of the scimitar in their hands seemed to increase by three points.

The large troops originally guarding two miles south of the village finally arrived. The loud bugles and the sound of horse hooves were getting closer and closer. The soldiers of the Dayue Kingdom suddenly roared: "They have a large group of cavalry!"

Then, except for the dozens of soldiers who were still fighting with Rody and others, the troops behind them all turned around and ran north with a roar.

After clearing away the remaining enemies, Sieg knew that he had too few troops and did not dare to divide his troops to pursue them. He just ordered to stay where he was.

The soldiers under his command lit the torches, and in the light of the fire they saw the middle of the village road filled with corpses and injured horses. There were also some soldiers from the Big Moon Kingdom who were seriously injured and were rolling and groaning on the ground.

Only a hundred of Rody's two hundred soldiers were left, while the Big Moon Kingdom's army left more than three hundred corpses.

After the fight, Rody felt sore all over, his nose smelled the strong smell of blood, his face and body were covered in blood, and several wounds on his arms that were cut by the enemy's scimitar also felt like burning pain.

Looking at the scattered corpses on the ground, some missing arms and legs, and some without heads, Rody felt his stomach churning. He suddenly pushed away the two soldiers who were supporting him, and strode to a house on the roadside. In front of him, he held on to the wall and vomited violently.

He vomited so much that he almost spit out the bile. I just felt that my whole body was soaked with sweat, and the night breeze made me feel bitingly cold.

Sieg slowly walked up to him, gently held his arm, and whispered: "Is this the first time that the Duke has killed someone on the battlefield?"

Rody's face was pale and he could hardly stand on his legs, so he just nodded.

Sieg sighed and said slowly: "It's nothing, it's always like this for the first time you kill someone. When I followed the old Duke, when I went to the battlefield and killed the first person for the first time, I almost didn't urinate afterward. Pants."

Rody's face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth, stood up straight, and said slowly: "I know. Don't worry, I'm fine. I am a warrior! From the first day I determined to be a warrior, I knew there would be such a day in the future!”

At this time, more than a dozen soldiers escorted more than 20 people dressed as civilians and came over. The leader was the officer who was one of Rody's soldiers. He was covered in blood at the moment. Although the wound on his left arm had been briefly bandaged, it was still bleeding out. He looked gloomy and said loudly: "Sir, these people burned the straw and lit it. Black smoke!”

Siege had a stern look on his face. He glanced coldly at these people who were trembling with fear, and then looked at the hundreds of corpses of his soldiers neatly arranged on the ground next to him. Siege's eyes showed grief, anger and heartache, and then he glanced at these villagers. He said harshly: "Kill them all!"
