Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 479. The sneak attack in the middle of the night

In the dark night, the troops were quickly organized. They were all elites in leather armor and armed with iron weapons. Most of them were slaves who were captives of the Silver Plate Kingdom and had a deep hatred for the Principality of Lions.

This battle is about their future. If they don't want to die in the fertile fields of Nanjun Territory, they will need their unity and will to defeat the enemy, and the civilians who are coerced can't do this. They are only humble. All this was possible only with the slaves and serfs who had nothing to do with it.

They have nothing, even if they work hard, they are only dead. Compared with the unbearable amount of labor in the fields, fighting to the death and dying honorably on the battlefield is not necessarily a shortcut.

The lion principality advocates force.

Although the Silver Plate Kingdom does not have a tradition of supremacy of force, it also encourages the practice of fighting skills.

Although they have not been in contact for ten years, the endless work has made them even more hostile. The fighting skills they used to be familiar with are now familiar, but they are more deadly, because they have to fight for their humiliating slave life. In this way, he is even willing to exchange his life for his life and use the most brutal means to kill the enemy.

You must know that those who can survive this kind of serf life can be regarded as the most elite, plus some of the serfs sold here from various countries are also former war losers and elite soldiers.

That's why they were smashed in the early days.

Really scary!

initial.

The manor owners and village chiefs of the lions principality didn't care.

Serf rebellions were not unheard of, and even a few villages were occupied together.

but so what

In the end, they assembled the militia and easily suppressed it!

Summarizing experience, the pure reason for being able to rebel is not inhumane behavior such as bullying, beating and scolding, but simply despising this group of serfs, allowing them to be temporarily freed, thus obtaining some weapons in the early stage, beating the manor guards or village militiamen One was caught off guard, so much so that it had the effect of a collapse.

But once the militias in other places are organized, together with many private armies belonging to the nobles, they can easily suppress these militia rebellions, and even the longest time among them is not more than three days.

Although the troops of the Principality of Lions are smaller than other kingdoms, they are indeed elites!

Even the militias are like that.

The wealthy and well-known Nanjun leader, even the militiamen have their own horses.

In other words, their militia is actually equivalent to the light cavalry that can only be armed by wealthy free people. In other human principalities, they can be used as grassroots commanders or cavalry.

Compared with the troops of the Northern Commander, most of them were infantry, while the Southern Commander was dominated by cavalry.

Just because of the money!

Wearing iron-inlaid leather armor, holding a long spear and a long sword, plus a better riding horse is the Nanjun Militia.

The combat effectiveness is extremely strong and the mobility is also extremely strong. It is completely organized as a light cavalry group, and its combat effectiveness is almost comparable to that of desert robbers. After assiduous group combat training, the large army will charge and fight decisively. I am afraid desert robbers who are good at scattered guerrilla warfare. , are not as strong as these militias.

But it is precisely because of the wealth of the Southern Commandery that most people are more willing to take their lives. Even the militia who were originally responsible for protecting the family and the country lost their initiative in waves of shocks, and even fled.

If there is no backbone to call, their morale is completely low!

As a result, none of these mounted militias are now engaged in combat.

The nobles are also very clear.

The combat effectiveness of these militias can only be used to hinder the enemy's attack.

As for the real main force in combat, it depends on the knights. Those real knights, the knight attendants and entourages they lead, moved, almost tsunami-like charges, and completely defeated the enemy in one wave!

And there are deeper metaphors.

You can't let the commoners have too many rights, which will affect the power control of the nobles.

…………

In this way of thinking,

5 knights came to the valley of the southern county.

They were resting, but they didn't know that in the village in the distance, nearly 20,000 infantrymen were gathering, running fast with long spears, preparing for the most direct night attack on them.

The soldiers of the insurgent army did not even employ any cavalry for this night attack.

All for success!

late at night.

The light of the stars and moon fell on the land of Nanjun County.

Groups of infantry appeared in the dense woods outside the valley.

In the valley, most of the members of the Knights were still resting, and only a few dozen people stood at the critical checkpoint as sentinels, but looking at the appearance of the weak and tired leaning against the tree, they knew that their minds were absent.

After such a long march, even riding a horse was already quite tiring.

Now they most want to be able to sleep.

But.

Obviously not now.

The enemy is in a village not far away. Although based on their experience, this serf rebellion can easily be put out, but after all, it is a large-scale rebellion that has swept through so many villages. The war is going on, and of course they dare not let their guard down easily.

But it does not mean that they will act as sentries with absolute vigilance. After all, the small groups of rebels they encountered before were easily killed by them, which led them to be very optimistic, and even put forward the slogan of one day off for three days.

Taking advantage of the pretext of suppressing the rebellion, it is undoubtedly the best enjoyment to take a good rest on the second line.

At least.

There is still pressure on the front line for the troops of the Northern Territory.

After all, although the Northern Commander is poor, the people are sturdy. Even if the cavalry is small, it can still bring casualties to them. If you waste your life there, you might as well escape to the second line temporarily and wait for the follow-up decisive battle!

However, in the middle of the night, in the darkness not far from these sentries, there appeared one after another bent over.

The elite robbers from the Sarand desert touched it.

Not a machete in hand.

But a dagger-like spearhead!

The boots of both feet were wrapped in several layers of linen, and there was no sound when walking.

One by one, they slowly touched them. Just when the sentinels were bored and dozing off, they suddenly pounced on them and pierced the throats of these sentinels with their spearheads. In less than ten minutes, dozens of sentries were all killed. , And at this time, hundreds of tents were still neatly placed in the valley under the moonlight.

These tents represent the number of 5 knights, nearly 5ooo people, but on both sides of the valley and the front and rear entrances of the valley, there are 2oooo rebel troops blocked there.

And still step by step, quietly touching forward, and gradually reached the distance of the infantry charge.
