"kill-"
Finally someone shouted, and the sudden sound echoed in the silent night.
But following this shout, a shout that covered the sky and the sun, also appeared in all directions around this valley, and together they converged into one sentence: "Kill—"
The serf rebels of Nanjun who have entered the infantry charge have launched the deadliest night attack!
But the members of the Knights who were the main force in countering the rebellion were still sleeping soundly.
Nobody responded!
Because 5,000 people left less than 20 sentries.
Even these sentinels were exhausted from coming here day and night.
Coupled with the disdain for the inferior arms of the serf rebellion, there was not much vigilance at all, but it was because of this contempt that eventually led to the night attack, and also made those knights who were still sleeping in the tent thinking Members, in a short period of time, they were swept away by the tide of uprising rebels!
The members of the Knights who were still sleeping in the tent woke up dimly amidst the shouts that soared to the sky, but when they woke up completely, it was the enemy who had been directly pierced through the tent and then rushed in hour!
But it's too late!
The menacing rebel soldiers used spears and long swords to pierce through the members of the Knights who had taken off their armor and were still unarmed, without the slightest ability to resist, and slaughtered them easily!
It really is massacre!
Bloody massacre!
The outermost knights did not have time to react, they were overwhelmed by the influx of rebel soldiers, and then turned into corpses, without even struggling, they all died in the tent where they were still sleeping soundly!
Then there are the middle-level knight attendants, who may still be a little bit resistant.
After all, there were followers on the periphery blocking it for a while.
They immediately woke up when they heard the screams, the sounds of slaughter and ferocious curses.
He picked up the weapon beside him, but before he could put on the chain mail, the tent was broken open. Even though he managed to resist a few times with the long sword in his hand, more and more rebels poured in. These knight servants couldn't resist at all, and retreated one after another, wanting to go to the tent where the knight was to organize defense.
But for their retreat behavior, it is obviously a behavior that appeared in a panic and had no time to think!
They retreated in disorder.
The level of resistance has become very low.
After causing a small number of casualties of the rebel soldiers, most of the knight attendants wore simple robes, held long swords or spears, retreated quickly, and quickly turned into a rout, rushing directly to the knights' defense line .
The tents of those knight lords are in the very center.
They are also the group of people who have reacted.
Under the double delay of the retinues and attendants, these knights and lords were fully armed.
However, their number was less than 500. Even with the addition of the retreating knight attendants and knight attendants, there were only more than 3,000 people gathered in the end, and nearly 1,000 of them had not had time to put on their armor!
But just when this group of people gathered to rebel.
But surrounded by all.
The elite rebel army of more than 20,000 people was dispatched, and they were firmly trapped in this valley.
The front row is armed with long spears and spears, the back row is elite warriors wearing heavy armor, and the high places on both sides of the valley are long-range troops holding bows and crossbows, and even javelins and slings.
Even without a torch, you can see clearly under the moonlit night.
The same goes for those members of the Knights.
no way.
They have been unable to break through this dense encirclement.
Because their war horses were kept on the side of the valley not far away, when the soldiers of the rebel army sneaked in before, the tent where the war horses were located was the first to be washed away, and all the followers who stayed behind were killed, even the prisoners None of them were left, in order to avoid having prisoners to waste energy and take care of them.
But for the knights who were surrounded in the middle, the soldiers of the rebel army seemed to have destroyed their most important escape tool, and it was simply difficult to break out of the encirclement!
Who would have imagined that a well-equipped knight order would fall to this point
This is simply impossible!
Especially those 5 knight leaders all looked at each other in blank dismay.
This time they came out to relax away from the main battlefield.
But I didn't expect that there would be the danger of being wiped out now. Look at the spear phalanx with a distance of less than 50 meters around them, which has surrounded them all. The horror that pierces everything, no one dares to ignore so many spears.
What's more, there are more and more soldiers in heavy armor at the rear, holding long swords and looking at them coldly, but when they look back, they find that many people's heavy armor looks very familiar, it seems to be theirs. Standard armor!
That's right, it is indeed the standard weapons and armor of these knight orders.
It was found during the night raid.
Then it was put on by the soldiers of the rebel army and made the best use of it!
Even at the top of the valleys on both sides, a large number of long-range arms are on standby, the overall number is close to 5,000. Although there are only a few war bows and heavy crossbows, most of them are hunting bows and light crossbows, as well as simply cut javelins.
Even a primitive sling improvised from two leather ropes.
But these are still ranged weapons!
condescending.
With the nearly 30-meter drop between the hills on both sides, the inertia and lethality formed are deadly!
Even if they were besieged here, starving these members of the Knights who lacked supplies for two days would exhaust them and lose their ability to fight. Even if they broke through, they would be consumed by continuous long-range strikes.
In the process of breaking out, more and more comrades in arms were killed or injured, and the blow to morale was also great!
It can be said that the knights of more than 3,000 people have completely become the turtle in the urn.
Rolf came to the top of the hill.
Behind him was the leader of the rebel army who commanded this time.
The two didn't say much, but looked at the more than 3,000 members of the Knights who were tightly surrounded in a small space below, stretched out their hands and waved forward, and ordered that they should be the first to wipe out the group before they were ready to break out. them!
"shooting!"
There are respective mid-level commanders shouting orders.
On the hills on both sides, all the long-range weapons shot and threw together. With the continuous whizzing sound of piercing the air, more and more black shadows appeared under the moonlight, and the terrifying death scythe slammed fiercely in the air. Swing it down, causing the members of the Knights below who were closely arranged in a defensive line to scream.
Not to mention the lethal arrows shot by war bows and heavy crossbows, even hunting bows and light crossbows, as well as heavy javelins and irregular stones, can cause casualties to those knights who have no armor and shields in a hurry heavy!
