Although the armor of this group of desert bandits is ridiculously simple.
However, taking advantage of the inertia brought about by circular cavalry and throwing short javelins as the main attack method, the lethality can be described as extremely strong. If they are arrogant, even the Swadian heavy cavalry will fall into their way!
Not to mention these ordinary knight servants.
"Whoosh whoosh—"
The sound of breaking through the air continued.
The sturdy and sharp short javelin whizzed by in the void with inertia.
The javelin throwing room is even more crowded like rain!
At the outermost edge of the knight attendants, in the dense rain of javelins, the knight attendants caught off guard kept falling off their horses. Even if someone reacted, subconsciously raised the kite-shaped shield and curled up on the horse's back, it would not help!
Those who should be injured will still be injured, and those who should fall will still fall!
The instant javelin throw stunned them.
He used to be invincible in the Principality of Lions, even if he encountered regular army encirclement and suppression by other lords, he had never encountered such a weird but instantly lethal tactic, which made these rigid and dogmatic knight servants unable to react at all.
Even at the very center, the two big knights roared and shouted to defend and counterattack, but it still didn't work.
These knight-level captains, as well as those knight attendants, were all beaten in the dense javelin rain. They couldn't organize effective defense and counterattack at all. Hearing the miserable howls of the surrounding comrades and the neighing of the injured horse, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Compared with the shooting of archers and crossbowmen, these whistling short javelins are more lethal. At least the body can withstand more than a dozen feather arrows or crossbow arrows, but it absolutely cannot withstand two short javelins!
What's more, just around these knight attendants, those desert robbers are still running around in circles.
There was a change in the knight attendants.
The desert robbers one after another threw the short javelins in their hands in an instant.
By virtue of the desert horse's rushing inertia, it even directly pierced through the wooden kite-shaped shield less than 2 centimeters at close range, pierced holes, and continued to break through the chain mail like a penetrating one, sinking deeply into the chest!
The short javelin has the effect of piercing armor, throwing it at close range can also break the shield!
This javelin storm lasted less than 3 minutes.
In just 3 minutes with 4 short javelins per person, a total of 840 short javelins have been thrown.
"Woo-"
At the top of the post station in the distance, a dull and long horn sounded.
These desert bandits instantly changed from a pack of wolves to sparrows.
One by one, they scatter the circular riding shots, and fled in all directions without looking back, really like flocks of sparrows on the grain drying ground, when they encounter danger, they scatter and flee in all directions.
Hit and run, take advantage and withdraw!
This is still a tactic that the Salanders learned from the Kugits.
And it was carried forward by the desert bandits.
They were able to run amok in the Sarande Desert, plundering caravans and scaring the civilians, not only because of their brutal methods, but also because they were good at fighting with wolves, and understood that the enemy was tired and we were disturbed, and the enemy advanced and we retreated guerrilla tactics!
Just like now.
When it was time to retreat to prevent the enemy from slowing down and counterattacking, they retreated very decisively!
Without any hesitation.
When gangs of bandits are included in the combat sequence of the regular army, they play a greater role as surprise soldiers.
Just like these knight attendants now, finally recovering from the harassment and killing effect of the javelin rain, subconsciously still holding the tattered kite-shaped shield, listening to the wailing in their ears, their eyes are blank.
They hadn't even imagined what kind of attack they had encountered in just 3 minutes!
The outer circle is full of dead bodies.
The knight attendants, as well as the horses under their crotches, were pierced with javelins like hedgehogs.
The knight attendants who survived were all wounded.
The unlucky one was directly pierced through the chest and abdomen by the short javelin. Although he did not die, such a serious injury almost meant goodbye to the world.
Even if it is treated by divine magic, it is very dangerous.
Not to mention no.
600 knight attendants arrived aggressively, and after waves of javelin rain, only 400 people stood on the spot on their horses, all of them disgraced, listening to the weakening wailing in their ears, and looking around blankly after all.
Seeing the desert bandit gradually disappearing into the distance, the eyes of hatred re-condensed.
That was the enemy who almost killed them!
"kill!"
The 2 big knights have hoods and masks on their faces.
But in the exposed eyes, there is a killing intent that cannot be concealed!
In just a short moment, more than 200 knights and servants, including knights were killed, which is the biggest loss in recent years. It hurts their muscles and bones. Even if they win this battle, they are considered miserable!
How can a bunch of rubbish in the desert be compared with knight servants who have been tempered for many years!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The knight attendants urged the horses under their crotches, and ran away with hatred.
The long swords in their hands were clenched tightly.
Their eyes were bloodshot, but when they dispersed a little, but not completely dispersed, the eyes of the knights and servants in the north suddenly showed shock and panic, and they even reined in their horses for a while, trying to defend on the spot!
It was Rolf holding the scimitar, leading 120 Salander riders to charge forward!
The spear was straight and sharp, and it was aimed at the knight attendants here.
"kill-"
Rolf yelled.
The Sarande riders responded behind him, and the 3rd row of charge queues were ready.
Under the gallop of Sarande's horse, he drove the underarm spear 1 meter above the horse's head, and with the strange soft sound made by the horseshoe rapidly hitting the sand layer, he appeared in front of the knight attendants at an extremely fast speed. .
In a short moment, the distance between the two sides was less than 50 meters.
In fact.
Rolf gave the order to charge just as the desert robbers dispersed.
Now the distance is less than 50 meters, no matter how the knight attendants urge the horses under their crotches, they cannot reach the peak speed within this extremely short distance.
In other words, even if the two are hedged, it cannot be done.
Can only be beaten passively!
"Damn it!"
The two great knights burst into red flame-like light, and their extraordinary power burst out in an instant.
The horse is in the front, and the two people are in the front.
With the help of the supernatural flames all over his body, he wanted to resist the charge of Rolf and Salander's riders. After all, as a great knight, he could still solve the crisis brought about by this charge even though he was injured.
They have to.
Otherwise, the cavalry who cannot maneuver will be charged by another cavalry unit.
The casualties caused will be irreversible fatal blows.
Maybe the whole army will be wiped out!
But their ideas are good, but the reality doesn't allow them to react at all.
Right behind Rolf, three golden lights with the same extraordinary power erupted in an instant, with a gentle and high power, just like the blood of the gods, coming with panic.
The heavy-duty armor-piercing cone-headed lance approaching 5 meters passed Rolf.
3 Royal Swadian Knights appear.
The whole body of plate armor is covered with finely carved aristocratic patterns.
But now this pattern combined with the golden light all over their bodies made them majestic and majestic, with an aura that made people's hearts tremble, and they immediately appeared in front of the two extraordinary knights, not allowing them to react in the slightest. The thick and long cone-headed lance has already missed the bodies of the two of them.
The golden light burst out from the cone gun, and the extraordinary power, which was as red as a flame, also burst out.
But the bodies of the two extraordinary knights left the saddle under their crotches.
With horror and disbelief on his face, he felt burning in his chest and abdomen, and flew out briskly all over his body. He looked down at the fist-thick lance with golden light shining on his chest, and finally his consciousness dissipated.
The golden light filled the air, and the whole person's stomach and head were scorching hot, instantly killing him!
"kill!"
Rolf did not stop charging.
Seeing that the two strongest enemies had been dealt with, with a mad love for war and killing in his eyes, he grinned grinningly and shouted loudly: "Kill them all!"
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—"
The sound of hooves suddenly became louder.
Even the sand layer was stepped on, making the charge of the 120 Salander riders a little faster.
Clip the gun forward.
With inertia, the spear instantly pierced into the target's body.
As if in a rush of pleasure, the group of Sarande riders slammed on those knight attendants who were helpless, hadn't reacted, and were still watching in horror as their two leaders were easily killed. among.
Then the Sarande riders staggered through the gap, piercing 3 and 4 of them with the spear in their hands, and then dropped them.
With his backhand, he drew out a heavy machete and slashed wantonly.
But it's the current situation.
The battle is set!
Even the scattered desert bandits circled back, holding their scimitars, like a pack of wolves who tried to resist, but were extremely futile and confused, and slaughtered wantonly among the knight attendants who lost their command like headless chickens.
The knight servants who had been defeated knew how to run away without even being able to counterattack.
They paid the price for their arrogance.
Bloody price!
"Woo-"
The dull sound of the horn blew from the top of the station not far away.
The killing finally stopped.
There were corpses all over the ground, war horses running in all directions, and the knight attendants who knelt on the ground and kept begging for survival.
With extraordinary power, the two leaders belonging to the great knights were directly killed, and the entire Gale Mercenary Group was directly defeated by a wave of charges when they were caught off guard, and the remaining 300 people completely lost their fighting spirit.
The creed that was once taught to them with the honor of nobility has long since been lost to nowhere along with countless black jobs.
They surrendered very simply.
When they have the upper hand, they can unleash their majestic slaughter.
But when they were at an absolute disadvantage and were slaughtered wantonly by the enemy, they could choose to surrender without hesitation.
The remaining 300 people threw away their weapons.
Kneeling on the ground with his hands raised high, his dazed and terrified eyes are full of longing for life.
There are also doubts from the bottom of my heart.
They really couldn't imagine why, in just a short moment, they who once roamed the Principality of Lions were defeated by a group of simple and sparse enemies until the entire army was wiped out. A miserable appearance capable of surrendering sadly.
They couldn't figure it out, just like the silent merchants at the top of the station, who were dumbfounded watching the battle that took place in just ten minutes and ended so simply.
