Chapter 456. Collapsed mercenary regiments

Just when the group of noble coalition troops had become slack in rest due to the fatigue of the day's march, and were still attracted to the moment, the elite charge of these 1,000 desert bandits seemed extremely abrupt!

Surprise attacks and sneak attacks are actually equal to attacks, which are attacks that take advantage of people's unpreparedness, so they are called raids.

Or a night attack.

So when Rolf led the charge, the mercenaries in the tents were still asleep.

Even if he was vigilant, he knew that most of the friendly forces patrolling outside had dissipated, and when the sudden charge began, he was still a little stunned for a few seconds, and only understood what was happening when the ground below him shook.

There are massive cavalry charges!

But.

What if sober?

A distance of 300 meters is the distance at which a heavy cavalry can enter a state of full charge.

For the light cavalry, it has already entered the state of charge, and began to run wildly, allowing the scimitars and spears in their hands to turn into the most terrifying killing machines with this speed and inertia!

And this distance of 300 meters, in the eyes of the cavalry, is only a few seconds!

"Kill!"

Rolf raised his scimitar aloftant, his face full of hideousness.

The war horse under the crotch galloped wildly, taking the lead, flying directly over the distance of 3 meters to the pile of tents, the scimitar in his hand did not need to be chopped, but placed parallel to his side, one by one the mercenaries who had not yet recovered their senses, as the blade touched the body, and instantly split a deep scar with visible bones due to the inertia.

But before all the mercenaries could react to this surprise attack, the cavalry charge, which was like a flood, followed Rolf and completely poured into the pile of tents, slashing and stabbing with scimitars and spears.

The neighing and wailing of horses arose, and the smell of blood and urine permeated the air.

The killing continues!

In the outermost tents, the mercenaries didn't even get up.

Because the desert horses that have entered the state of charging have used their hooves to trample to death these unlucky ghosts who are still lying on the ground at the outermost level, and the blow of the horseshoe in the state of charge is no less than smashing with a heavy hammer!

What's more, hundreds of horseshoes smashed down, or the heaviest state of the charge.

Even the iron was flattened.

How much more about people?

A pile of meat sauce seeped out of the tent, only to be trampled by more horses' hooves.

The elite of the desert bandits roared back and forth in their tents, rampage, giving the unorganized mercenaries a taste of the bitter consequences of the raid, which was to be slaughtered like lambs!

These mercenaries are not familiar with each other, and some even draw their swords against friendly soldiers in order to flee for their lives.

Cannibalism is already normal.

And even yes.

Storm the camp in the village!

That's the central part of the mercenary core.

However, all of them were protected by the private armies of the nobles, and these lowly mercenaries were not allowed to approach at all!

Regular infantry wearing chain mail and armed with spears formed a phalanx of spears in the streets of the village, and the sharp spears did not care whether they were friendly or not, and stabbed them mercilessly whenever anyone dared to approach.

The nobles behind him had grim faces, and for their own safety, it was impossible for them to let these mercenaries in.

Because the mercenaries are in disarray.

Lost his mind.

Even his own allies can draw their swords and fight, just to survive for the time being.

If these mercenaries were allowed to rush into the village, and saw those nobles still looking at all this in their clothes, and killing the red-eyed mercenaries, it is estimated that they will be angry and cause a greater conflict.

This is absolutely possible, it has happened many times in history, and the nobles know it very well.

The madness that comes with class.

Especially in riots!

Mercenaries are not good guys, and when there is no lord to hire, part-time robbers are also common, or they are robbers, and there is no separation between the two at all!

But the situation is getting more and more tense.

It was impossible for the nobles to let panicked mercenaries enter the village.

And the mercenaries who are being slaughtered and slaughtered do not have the courage to fight reflexively, but are more skilled in killing friendly soldiers and seizing a chance to survive for themselves.

They were killing each other, and even began to gang up in groups to kill the noble infantry in the village.

Merely.

The sharp and dense tip of the spear makes it difficult for any mercenary to mess around.

But in just ten minutes, at least 800+ mercenaries have completely turned into corpses, and nearly 3000+ mercenaries have scars of varying severity.

A small part was made by the elite of the desert bandits.

Most.

It's cannibalism.

As for Rolf and his hussars, there was little resistance at all.

Except for a few who were injured by the mercenaries who fought back, almost 99% of the elite desert bandits did not suffer any casualties, and after wantonly trampling on the tents of the mercenaries outside, turning everything upside down, they chose to retreat.

This was a surprise attack, and it was this group of mercenaries who were caught off guard.

It can't be too long.

Because during this time, many mercenaries who found themselves in danger began to form a group.

After all, most of the mercenary tents were not damaged too much, and after the initial riots passed, one mercenary captain after another shouted to organize his subordinates and began to intensively engage in defense.

This leaves the elite desert bandits who are not good at hand-to-hand combat, without a good solution.

Retreat is the best option.

Of course, Rolf did not hesitate, he was the best light cavalry commander.

When this raid was in a difficult situation, he directly gave the order to retreat, led the desert bandit elite to leave in a puff of smoke, disappeared into the vast plain in the night, and soon lost his trace.

Shortly after they left, the riots outside the village gradually subsided.

The regular armies of the nobility regained order.

After killing some of the mercenaries who took advantage of the chaos, the noble coalition returned to peace.

It's just that everyone understands that this raid has torn apart their seemingly huge numerical advantage at all, and even because of mutual distrust and greed in everyone's hearts, this advantage has turned into a bloated disadvantage.

If it was a regular army unit, it would have long been united and formed a formation to resist the surprise attack.

Although there will be casualties, it will definitely not be that big.

30,000 troops.

Charged by 1,000 cavalry, he almost collapsed.

This is a bit ridiculous, but it also proves that most of this group of noble coalition troops are a rabble!

Of course, this has something to do with the lack of preparedness of the aristocratic coalition forces, but if it is an elite force, how can it be possible for Rolf to succeed in a night attack? Without any excuses or justifications, this was a serious defeat and a serious blow to morale on the eve of the storming stone pass.
