The 3,000 knights and knight attendants who survived by chance were completely in a desperate situation.
The place where they rested was a specially selected abandoned farm, which was located in a canyon, just to avoid the cold night wind at night.
But now it seems that such a choice at the beginning was really digging his own grave.
The canyon runs north-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. All kinds of long-range weapons are ruthlessly attacking these remaining knights and knight attendants.
Although the long-range weapons of the rebel army were not good, there were only a few war bows and heavy crossbows, most of them were hunting bows and light crossbows, as well as simply cut javelins, and even primitive slings temporarily made with two leather ropes.
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 rebels picked up a stone at random and threw it at the densely surrounded knights and knight attendants in the canyon, they would still be able to beat them to death.
Because of this, sharp arrows whizzed down, with a huge speed caused by high and low, without any hindrance, penetrated the iron-inlaid leather armor on the knight attendants, causing a lot of damage to the knight attendants.
Only five hundred well-armed knights can rely on their well-defended chain mail and iron helmets to avoid being hurt by bows and arrows. Of course, there are also unlucky knights who were shot by bows and arrows from the iron ring on the chain armor and were seriously injured.
Not only bows and crossbows, but even more frightening are the javelins, which are much heavier than short 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 the rebels. inferior bows and arrows.
Even a formal knight wearing chain mail and an iron helmet with extremely strong defensive power will inevitably break his bones and tendons if he is hit by this javelin. If he is bombarded on the iron helmet on his head, the iron The helmet will be dented by a large area, and the knight will most likely be directly stunned.
On this cruel battlefield, fainting to the ground is equivalent to death.
What is more terrifying than the javelin is the huge boulders falling from the sky. It is not uncommon to smash the knights and knight attendants at the bottom of the valley into meatloaf.
Under the desolate moonlight, ruthless killings are taking place.
Countless bows, arrows, javelins, and boulders were shot down from both sides of the canyon by long-range fighters of the rebel army. In the huge height drop, they produced extremely terrifying lethality with inertia, and brought the knights and knight attendants at the bottom of the canyon. Many casualties.
"ah-"
A knight servant of the Southern County leader clenched his teeth and exerted all his strength. He swung the knight's sword with both hands and swung away a bow and arrow that was shot at him rapidly, but he couldn't resist a terrifying javelin that followed, and was directly caught by the javelin. Piercing through the iron-inlaid leather armor on his body, passing through his heart, he let out an extremely shrill scream.
In just a short time, more than 20 knights in the canyon died, and more than 300 knight attendants died directly.
Everyone hurts.
Above the canyon, five Sarion lion knights wearing bright plate armor and full-face helmets, only showing a pair of ruthless eyes, stood quietly behind Rolf.
The commander-in-chief of the rebel army and Rolf stood side by side, half a body behind.
He looked at the desperate Southern County leader knights, with a mocking smile on his lips, and said indifferently: "These guys are finished!"
The commander-in-chief of the rebel army, Ke Luode, showed an echoing smile, with unconcealable excitement and fear in his eyes: "It's all thanks to the information you provided and the attack plan!"
"These guys are looking for death!"
There was strong disdain in Rolf's voice.
During the war, these knights set up camp at night so casually, and the number of sentinels they sent was so rare that it was unbelievable.
Five knights, 500 formal knights, 4500 knight attendants, they formed a heavy cavalry team.
Judging 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 fighters and twenty night guards, this is really a joke.
Such an arrogant and arrogant end is very miserable.
Being blocked in this narrow canyon, under siege from all sides, it is difficult to find a way out.
"By God of War Edmund, knights, the time has come for us to do our best!"
In the canyon, the only great knight among the five knight orders erupted with a powerful aura of flames, pointed the exquisite knight sword in the direction of the northern exit of the canyon, and said in a deep voice: "Our only way of life is here , knights, for the glory of God of War Emond, charge with me!"
The heavy knight's spear of this great knight was placed beside his horse, otherwise, using the four-meter-long knight's spear with his power would be much more lethal than the exquisite knight's sword, especially in this situation .
"For the glory of the God of War, Emond, charge!" All members of the knight order responded to the call of the great knight, and roared with ferocious faces.
The members of the Knights in desperation have been forced to a situation where there is no way out, which instead inspired their desperate belief and condensed their strong morale.
This great knight was wearing a thick full iron plate armor, covered with an exquisite fine linen robe, waved the knight sword in his hand, knocked away the arrows and javelins that were constantly attacking, and led the remaining knights and knight attendants towards Heading towards the northern exit of the canyon, he charged 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 ends are all densely packed with rebels.
At this time, among the rebel soldiers on both sides, hundreds of infantry with spears stood in the front three rows, and all of them raised the three-meter-long spears in their hands either horizontally or obliquely, stabbing wildly. Members of the Knights who were flanking the canyon.
These insurgents arranged at the forefront were all elite infantrymen who had been captured by the Yinpan Kingdom. They were very proficient in spear battle formation, and they could do their best to resist the onslaught of heavy cavalry.
At this time, these knights who dismounted from their horses lost countless lives in this spear array.
The fierce spear formation blockade, the rain of arrows, javelins, and stones constantly falling from the sky forced the knights of these knights into a desperate situation where they must die.
The longer the time dragged on, the more they died, and the less hope of breaking this desperate situation.
If you want to survive, you can only break through when there are enough knights alive.
