Chapter 480. Too late to react

"Kill—"

Finally someone shouted, and the abrupt sound echoed in the silence of the night.

But with this shout, a shout that covered the sky and the sun also appeared in all directions of the valley, and they all converged into one sentence: "Kill-"

The rebels of the serfs of the Southern County Leader, who had already entered the state of infantry charge, launched the deadliest night attack!

And the members of the Knights, who were the main force in counterinsurgency, were still asleep.

No one reacted!

Because 5000 people left less than 20 sentinels.

Even these sentinels are exhausted from the day and night journeys.

Coupled with the disdain for the inferior troops such as the serf rebellion, there was not much vigilance at all, but it was because of this contempt that this night attack finally occurred, and also made those members of the Knights who were still sleeping in the tent think about it were washed away by the tide of rebels in a short period of time!

The members of the Knights, who were still sleeping in the tent, woke up dimly at the sound of the sky-high shouts, but when they came to their senses, it was the enemy who was directly stabbed through and torn apart by the tent, and then rushed in!

But it's too late!

The fierce-faced rebel soldiers stabbed through the members of the Knights, who had taken off their armor and bare hands and had no ability to resist, with their spears and swords, and slaughtered them with ease!

It's really a massacre!

Bloody slaughter!

The outermost knights didn't have time to react at all, they were overwhelmed by the influx of rebel soldiers, and then turned into corpses, and before they could even struggle, they all died in the tent where they were still sleeping soundly!

Then there are the mid-level knight squires, and maybe a little bit of resistance.

After all, there were servants on the periphery who blocked it for a moment.

They immediately sobered up when they heard the howls, as well as the slaughter and the vicious scolding.

Picking up the weapon beside him, but before he had time to put on the chain mail, the tent was immediately broken, even if he barely resisted a few times with the long sword in his hand, but more and more rebel troops poured in, and these knight attendants couldn't resist at all, and they retreated and retreated, wanting to go to the tent where the knight was to organize defense.

But for their retreat, it is obviously an act that appears in a panic and does not have time to think!

They retreated in a mess.

The strength of the resistance has become very low.

After inflicting a small number of casualties among the rebel soldiers, most of the knights' attendants, dressed in simple robes and armed with swords or spears, quickly retreated, quickly turning into a rout and charging directly into the knights' lines.

The tents of the knights were in the center.

They are also the ones who reacted.

Under the double delay of the servants and the attendants, these knights were fully armed.

But their number is less than 500 people, even if you add the defeated knight squires and knight servants, there are only more than 3,000 people who can gather in the end, and nearly 1,000 of them have not had time to put on the armor!

But just when the group gathered to resist.

but surrounded by all.

The elite of the rebel army of more than 20,000 people was dispatched and trapped them firmly in this valley.

In the front rows are long-pole weapons armed with spears and spears, in the back rows are elite warriors in heavy armor, and in the higher parts of the valleys on either side are ranged units armed with bows and crossbows, and even javelins and slings.

You can see clearly even if there are no torches on a moonlit night.

The same goes for those of the Order.

No way.

They couldn't break through the dense encirclement.

Because their horses were kept on the side of the valley not far away, when the rebel soldiers attacked before, the first thing to be crushed was the tent where the horses were located, and all the remaining servants were killed, even if they did not even leave prisoners, in order to avoid having prisoners to waste their energy and take care of them.

But for the knights who were surrounded in the middle, these rebel soldiers were like destroying their most important means of escape, and it was simply difficult to break through!

Who would have imagined that a well-armed knight would fall to such a point?

It's simply impossible!

In particular, the five captains of the knights all looked at each other.

This time, they originally planned to relax away from the main battlefield.

But I didn't expect that there was a danger of being wiped out now, looking at the surrounding phalanx of spears less than 50 meters apart had surrounded them all, the spear heads flashing in the moonlight were even more terrifying that could pierce everything, no one dared to ignore so many spears.

What's more, there are more and more soldiers in heavy armor in the rear, holding long swords and looking at them coldly, but when they look back, they find that many people's heavy armor is extremely familiar, it seems to be their standard armor!

That's right, it's the standard weapons and armor of these knights.

It was found during the night raid.

Then it was put on by the soldiers of the rebel army and put it to good use!

Even at the top of the valley on either side, a large number of ranged units were on standby, with a total number of nearly 5,000, although there were only a few warbows and heavy crossbows, but most hunting bows and light crossbows, as well as simply sharpened javelins.

It is even a primitive catapult made from two pisos.

But these are still ranged weapons!

Condescending.

With a drop of nearly 30 meters on both sides of the hills, the inertia and lethality formed are enough to kill!

Even if they are besieged here, starving these short supply knights for two days can make them exhausted and incapacitated, and even if they break through, they will have non-stop long-range strikes to consume them.

In the process of breaking out, more and more comrades-in-arms were killed or wounded, and the blow to morale was also great!

It can be said that the knights of more than 3,000 people have completely become a turtle in the urn.

Rolf came to the top of the hill.

He was followed by the leader of the rebel army, who was under the commander-in-chief this time.

The two of them didn't say anything, but looked at the more than 3,000 knight members who were tightly surrounded in a small space below, stretched out their hands and waved forward, ordering that while this group of people was not ready to break through, they would take the lead in annihilating them!

"Shoot!"

There were their own mid-level commanders shouting orders.

On the hills on either side, all the ranged weapons shot and threw together, and as the swishing sound continued to break through the air, more and more black shadows appeared under the moonlight, and the terrifying death scythe swung down in mid-air, causing the members of the knights below who were tightly arranged to form a defensive line to scream.

Not to mention the lethal arrows fired by warbows and heavy crossbows, even hunting bows and light crossbows, as well as heavy javelins and irregular stones, can inflict heavy casualties on the Knights who are in a hurry without armor and shields!
