Chapter 455 . Sneak attack in the night
The noble coalition forces of the Northern Territory finally reached the vicinity of Jianshi Pass.
The rugged dirt road was completely clear of caravans and pedestrians.
In the flat wilderness farther away, occasionally, several figures riding on horses and passing by quickly flashed through the night, even the cavalry sent by the noble coalition could not catch up.
These cavalrymen are desert robbers scattered outside and following these noble coalition forces from afar.
The task is to investigate.
When a noble light cavalry came over to drive, they would leave without any loss.
But when those light cavalrymen retracted, these desert robbers would keep up like flies.
Hanging from a distance, the distance between the two sides will never exceed 100 meters. This is simply too easy for the desert robbers. It is easier than following the caravans in the Salander desert.
After all, they are all gangsters, they are excellent light cavalry trained in the desert!
Even in those light cavalry who are too close.
After staying away from the noble coalition.
These desert robbers suddenly exposed their fangs, pulled out their short javelins, rushed in twos and threes, and shot all the light cavalrymen who had no means of long-range attack under the horse.
In terms of maneuverability and flexibility, and throwing javelins, desert robbers are extremely confident!
It depends on the light cavalry of the noble coalition.
Originally chased with anger.
unconsciously.
Deep into the hinterland of the plain, far away from the noble coalition.
I originally saw those deserted robbers still full of excitement and wanted to rush up to solve this group of sneaky guys, but I didn’t expect that those sneaky guys rushed back.
Without waiting for them to pull their swords to hedge, they were killed on horseback by a short javelin thrown from a round of throws.
Regular operations?
For desert robbers, this is the norm!
Stop and go along the way, harassing the noble coalition, these desert robbers are like fun.
Except for the formation of a few unlucky ghosts that were too close to the aristocratic coalition, and were killed by the arrow rain shot by a strong assault crossbow, there was no desert robber injured, but the loss was the most.
Thousands of cavalrymen stayed in a slightly sunken ancient river in the distance of the noble coalition.
Rolf is here.
The cavalry around are also light cavalry, desert robbers and elite desert robbers.
There are thousands of people, and there are desert robbers who have just been recruited and supported at the sentry oasis. The current number is 600 of the most common desert robbers, and 1,000 elite desert robbers used in harassment operations.
It was ordinary desert robbers who had scattered before to follow the noble coalition.
And this caused a lot of losses to those noble hussars.
“Master Rolf!”
A desert robber came quickly.
Respectfully, he dismounted and knelt in front of Rolf to report: “The aristocratic coalition army of the Northern County has appeared in a village about 30 miles south of Cainestone Pass. It is in the temporary camp of Anza and seems to be preparing to rest.”
“Well.” Rolf sat in a chair, and a map was spread in front of him: “Have you notified Fatis?”
“already arranged.”
The desert robber nodded: “It is estimated that the Hard Rock Pass has now been reached, and Lord Fatiz also got the news.” The tone was abrupt, he still reported: “However, the noble coalition seems to want to take advantage of the black hair to attack In our observations, some can’t wait for mercenaries are still heading towards the Hard Rock Pass.”
“Take advantage of the black attack? It’s really interesting!” Rolf sneered and put down the map in his hand: “Do those mercenaries think they can easily defeat the defenders on the city wall?”
“They have siege weapons.”
The desert robber Hui reported: “It seems to be a crossbow, which is in the accompanying carriage, and after buying some mercenaries, they said that there are parts of trebuchets. It is estimated that these trebuchets are the main equipment for siege. .”
“This is difficult.” Rolf touched the short beard on his chin: “Are you sure?” He looked at the desert robber. After receiving a positive answer, his eyes narrowed slightly: “Let my boys All are ready, all linens are ready, and we are ready to give a welcome ceremony to our friends.”
“Yes!” The desert robbers retreated and spread the news throughout the cavalry.
This is preparation before the battle.
30 minutes later.
Rolf Zema led the team and moved on the plain.
Spears, scimitars and short javelins are ready, as well as linens wrapped in horseback.
These light cavalry troops moved forward quickly, thundering like thunder, but when they were about to reach the village, they quickly stopped and ran, all following the command of their respective captains, turned over and dismounted, and began to lead the war horse forward .
Moonlight and starlight shining on the earth, even in the middle of the night, you can still see far away.
But what he looked at was vague, not at all true.
Compared with the daytime.
Therefore, Rolf they can slowly approach the village where the noble coalition is stationed.
Even the light cavalry who wander around don’t care. Naturally, there are crazy desert robbers who launch feints on the other side of the village This is a part of the plan for them, just like they were Do that.
In the Sarand Desert, feint attacks attracted the attention of caravan guards, and the other side was the main force that really looted the caravan!
“All right.”
Rolf led the horse in front.
They did not encounter any reconnaissance and patrol hussars along the way.
Because on the other side of the village, 600 desert robbers were cursing the coalition like crazy, attracting the attention of the light cavalry, and going back and forth, fighting, running, and not retreating, nor retreating immediately. Instead, it was like flies flying back and forth, completely annoying those light cavalry belonging to the noble coalition.
A large number of light cavalry soldiers originally used for reconnaissance and patrolling were all transferred in order to kill the 600 desert robbers, and even some light infantry were sent out.
“Ready to fight!”
Rolf’s eyes were deep, and he slowly pulled out the scimitar around his waist, turning his head and said, “Start action!”
“start to act!”
The captains communicated orders one after another.
They began to trot quickly, led the warhorse to trot on the soft soil layer, plus their soles and the horseshoe of the warhorse were wrapped in linen, so the sound did not roar, but with a somewhat weird muffled noise.
As if the stone was rolling, although there was a sound, it could not be passed far.
Under this night.
The distance of 300 meters is the deep night sky.
And for this short distance, for the cavalry, it may turn up at any time and change into a state of charge!
Looking at the outline of the village in front of the starry night, and after a lot of torches were lit and lit, the tents distributed around the village, Rolf directly turned his horse, kicked the horse’s belly fiercely, and shouted: “Charge!”
“Kill!” The 1,000 desert robbers were elite and immediately rushed past!
