The decisive battle has not yet begun.

Both sides are in a stalemate, cautiously testing each other's reactions.

The most important thing is that the troops of Nanjun have not yet transported enough materials to support a campaign, after all, 20,000 cavalry have gathered, and the daily consumption can withstand more than 50,000 infantry.

If they were not prepared for the advantage, the troops of the Nanjun Commander would not dare to attack easily.

After all, the Kant army on the opposite side also had a force of nearly 30,000 people.

Although most of them are infantry.

However, if the formation is in a dense defensive formation, even if the 20,000 cavalry regiments surround it and launch a breakthrough at a key point, their own casualties are estimated to be too low, especially when the infantry is dominated by spears.

The nobles of the Eastern County Territory have already sent a large amount of materials through the factor of geographical advantages.

Of course, there were also many spears to defend against cavalry.

Now the commander, led by Fatis, has ordered all the infantry to be armed with spears.

In addition, the troops of the Northern County Commander were equipped with a lot of spears and spears, and most of the soldiers had the ability to form a phalanx of spears to resist cavalry charges, and even form a spear wall to slow down the enemy's cavalry advance and mobility.

Because of this, the noble knights of the Southern County did not attack.

They are waiting.

Time is on their side.

As they dragged on, the more morale and physical strength they had, and the more supplies they had.

On the other hand, the morale of the Northern County Leader Coalition led by Fatis will be lower and lower, and even the material consumption will be too large, let alone fighting, as long as there is no food for two or three days, it is estimated that it will be able to collapse directly on its own, and there is no need for the knights of the Southern County Leader to do it!

It's just that they are currently in a lot of trouble.

There were 20 knights of 20,000 men, but they all occupied 20 farms.

Close to the front line of the confrontation between the two sides.

However, in these farms, even if there are knight attendants patrolling non-stop, they can still spot the enemy light cavalry that occasionally bursts in, and they do not approach, but turn around and run, but when they go to chase it, they will find that it is a trap.

Because in the hands of those enemy light cavalry, a sharp and heavy short javelin was thrown.

Reflexive throwing.

Paired with the speed and inertia of their own horses.

In less than 2 days, nearly 600 knight squires were seriously injured or killed!

Heavy casualties.

However, when they pursued out and tried to surround them, they encountered more light cavalry.

Rolf's light cavalry had already spread out all over the mountains, and he did not lead those knight squires into the defense line of his heavy cavalry and infantry at all, but directly led them into the depths of the southern county and into the plain.

Due to the development of agriculture in the southern county territory, the roads are equally smooth.

Dirt or paved roads, which used to be easy to transport, are now routes for troops to advance at breakneck speeds.

It didn't matter if the road was blocked, they rode their horses into the flat fields, and they could gallop extremely fast, crisscrossing the plains of the Southern County Territory without the slightest obstacle.

Even those knight squires, who chased not far away, shrank back for fear of being alone in the depths.

Barely waiting for the decisive battle.

Therefore, Rolf and they can be said to be very easy after rushing into the South County Territory.

Those farms have long been emptied, even the warehouses are empty, leaving nothing of value to prevent them from being used by the enemy, which also means that there are no troops to defend them, and they are left to move on their own.

Even they're coming to Lionheart's reach.

It is the largest city in the Southern Counties.

It is also one of the only trading cities in the Lion Principality.

However, instead of giving the order to enter the confines of Lionheart, Rolf led his troops back, scattering in the starry night to loot any enemies that might come their way, or crushing small patrols and wreaking havoc in the rear.

This is also to increase the pressure on the troops and nobles of the Southern County Commander.

No way.

Rolf also knows that time is not on his side.

If you don't want to be dragged to death, you can only rely on the infantry and those knights to consume.

Then at the most critical time, let his light cavalry harass, and then let Fatis's heavy cavalry, end the battle, even if it is a miserable left, or if the two sides fight to lose, it is good for them.

Because this is not the main force of Kant's forces.

In the distance.

The estuary of the Resniston River.

A force of Rhodoks and Nords, is being assembled.

As long as the decisive battle on this side begins, then on this wide river, there will be a dagger that goes straight to the heart, led by Kant himself, to capture the Lionheart City on the bank of the river, and also to give the noble knights of the Southern County Commander, a hard punch, the best plan is to directly defeat the resistance of the Southern County Commander!

At the very least, it is necessary for the southern county to fall into a state of collapse and disorder in a short time, and then their troops gather each other and rush directly to the Lion Castle, the administrative center of the Lion Principality, and also the former home of Kant!

…………

Starry night, fields outside the territory of Nanjun.

Rolf was leading a group of light cavalry at a gallop forward.

Just ahead of the horizon, there was a long line with torches marching, which looked like a carriage caravan, belonging to the team that transported daily supplies to the knights of Nanjun.

That's exactly what they're aiming for.

As light cavalry, their tactical mission is to disrupt the enemy's supply lines.

Rolf was equally aware of his position, and after a moment of thought, he waved forward.

"Hmm-"

The long sound of the horn was suddenly sounded.

The desert bandit who was next to him put down his horn, drew his spear with his backhand, and the team members in the rear looked at Rolf, slowly instigating the war horse under his crotch to run forward.

"Kill!"

Rolf naturally didn't say anything, and after waving his hand forward, he also drew his scimitar.

All around them, hordes of light cavalry appeared in the darkness, like borrowed steppe wolves, roaring out of the night, rushing towards the already nervous convoy on the path ahead.

Their team numbered more than 500 people, and there were hundreds of carriages.

Rolf's light cavalry, however, numbered 300 men.

Whizzing by.

These desert bandits are almost professional with raiding convoys.

As the short javelin was thrown one by one, taking advantage of the fact that the defending transport team did not react, he picked up the scimitar and rushed directly into these transport teams, which were mostly horsemen, and slashed and slashed violently.

Naturally, they don't need to live their mouths, especially on the plains of this southern county territory, leaving a live mouth is exposing themselves.

War is always brutal.

"Your Excellency!"

There are elite desert bandits coming.

With a little joy on his face: "It's all food, it should be enough for those knights for 3 days." As he spoke, he took out the flint and the water bladder filled with grease, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Do you want to have a barbecue party?" ”

"Don't be too troubled." Rolf glanced at him and said lightly: "Leave when it's burned!" ”

"Yes!"

He didn't dare to continue talking.

I found some linen to link the carriages that had gathered together, and as I poured the oil and threw the fire over, the flames suddenly rose into the sky, illuminating the plain, which could be seen clearly even from a distance of more than ten miles.

It is estimated that even those farms where the Knights are stationed can be seen clearly by relying on the watchtower.
