Lord of the Oasis

Chapter four hundred and seventy fourth.

The decisive battle has not yet begun.

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

The most important thing is that the troops led by Nanjun have not yet delivered enough materials to support a battle. After all, 20,000 cavalrymen have gathered, and the daily consumption can be on par with 50,000 infantrymen.

If the advantage is not prepared, the troops led by Nanjun would not dare to attack easily.

After all, the Kant army on the opposite side also has nearly 30,000 troops.

Although most are infantry.

However, if they formed a dense defensive formation, even if they were surrounded by 20,000 cavalrymen and broke through at a critical point, their own casualties would not be too low, especially when the infantry was dominated by long spears.

The nobles of the East County Territory have already sent a large amount of materials through the factors of geographical advantage.

Of course, there are many spears against cavalry.

Now the commander with Fatis has ordered all the infantry to be equipped with long spears.

In addition, the North County Commander had been equipped with a lot of spears and spears. Most of the soldiers had the ability to form a spear formation to resist cavalry charges, and even form a spear wall to slow down the advance and mobility of enemy cavalry.

Because of this, the noble knights in the southern county did not attack.

They are waiting.

Time is on their side.

As they drag on, their morale and physical strength will be more abundant, and the more supplies they will have.

On the other hand, the morale of the northern county led by Fatis will become lower and lower, and even the material consumption will be too high. Let alone fighting, as long as the food is cut off for two or three days, it is estimated that it will collapse directly on its own, without the need for the knights led by the southern county. Get your hands on it!

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

There are 20 knights of 20,000 people, but they all occupy 20 farms.

Approaching the front line of the confrontation between the two sides.

But even in these farms, even if there were constant patrols by knights and servants, they could still spot the occasional enemy light cavalry that broke in. They didn't get close, they turned their heads and ran, but when they chased, they would become traps.

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

Throwing backwards.

Coupled with their own speed and inertia in chasing horses.

In less than 2 days, nearly 6oo more knight attendants were seriously injured or killed!

Heavy casualties.

But when they chased out to surround them, they encountered more light cavalry.

Rolfe's light cavalry had already scattered all over the mountains and fields, and they did not lead the knights and attendants into the line of defense of their heavy cavalry and infantry.

Due to the agricultural development of the South County, the roads are equally smooth.

The dirt road or paved road that was convenient for transportation in the past has now become a channel for the troops to advance.

Even if the road is blocked, it doesn't matter. They ride their horses into the flat fields, and they can gallop very fast. They wantonly traverse the plains of Nanjun County without encountering any obstacles at all.

Even those knights and servants, after chasing them not far, shrank back because they were afraid of going deep alone.

Barely waiting for the decisive battle.

Therefore, it can be said that it was very easy after Rolf and the others rushed into the South County Territory.

Those farms have long been empty, even the warehouses are empty, and nothing of value is left behind to prevent them from being used by the enemy.

Even they are almost coming to the range of Lionheart City.

It was the largest city in the Southern Territory.

It was also one of the only two trading cities in the Principality of Lions.

But Rolfe did not order to enter the area of ​​Lionheart City, but instead led the troops back, scattered in the starry night to kill any possible enemies, or defeated small patrols, causing damage in the rear.

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

no way.

Rolfe also knew that time was 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 him, and then let the Fatis' heavy cavalry end the battle, even if there is a tragic leftover, or if both sides fight to lose both, it is good for them.

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

far away.

Estuary of the Resniston River.

A troop of Rhodoks and Nords is gathering.

As long as the decisive battle here begins, there will be a dagger sticking straight into the heart on this wide river, led by Kant himself, to capture the Lionheart City on the Xia River, and to give it to the noble knights of Nanjun. , a ruthless punch, the best plan is to directly defeat the resistance of the Nanjun leader!

At the very least, the leader of the Nanjun County will fall into a state of collapse and disorder in a short period of time, and then their troops will gather with each other and rush directly to the Lion Castle, the administrative center of the Principality of Lions, and the former home of Kant!

…………

Starry night, the fields outside the territory of Nanjun.

Rolfe was galloping past with a line of light cavalry.

On the horizon ahead, there was a long dragon marching holding a torch. It looked like a carriage caravan, which belonged to a team that transported daily supplies to the knights in Nanjun County.

This is exactly their goal.

As light cavalry, their tactical mission has the function of harassing enemy supply lines.

Rolfe was also aware of his position, and after a little thought, he waved forward.

"Well--"

The long horn sound was blown suddenly.

The desert robber, who was the commander next to him, put down his horn, pulled out his spear with his backhand, and looked at Rolfe with the team members behind, and slowly incited the warhorse under his crotch to run forward.

"kill!"

Naturally, Rolfe said nothing. After waving his hand forward, he also drew out his machete.

Just around them, groups of light cavalry appeared in the darkness, like a borrowed prairie wolf, roaring out of the night, towards the road ahead, the already nervous transport team rushed.

There are more than 500 people in their team, and there are hundreds of carriages.

But Rolf's light cavalry has 3oo people.

whizzed by.

These desert robbers take a near-professional approach to raiding convoys.

As the short javelins were thrown, taking advantage of the fact that the defending transport team did not respond, he picked up the machete and rushed directly into these transport teams, which were mostly grooms, and slashed wildly.

Naturally, they don't need to live, especially in the plains of this southern county, leaving a live is to expose themselves.

War is always cruel.

"grown ups!"

An elite desert robber came over.

With a bit of joy on his face: "It's all food, and it should be enough for the Knights for 3 days." He took out the flint for the fire and the water bag filled with grease, and raised his eyebrows: "Would you like to have a barbecue party? ?"

"Don't worry about it." Rolfe glanced at him and said lightly, "Let's go when you're done burning!"

"Yes!"

He didn't dare to continue talking.

I found some linen to link the gathered carriages. After pouring kerosene and throwing a fire at it, the raging flames suddenly rose into the sky, illuminating the plain, even if it was a dozen miles away. See clearly.

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