Chapter 458. Ridiculous battlefield situation

The fire could be seen clearly even from the solid stone pass, the flames were so bright that the entire night sky had been ignited in red, and even if I didn't understand what was happening, I knew that it must have been in crisis.

"Sortie."

Fatis made his decision on the city walls.

He waved his hand forward and gave instructions to the heralds behind him: "Let the desert bandits go over to reconnoitre, the heavy cavalry troops will go out of the city and stand by, and the rest of the infantry will stay in the city, if there is an abnormal situation, you don't need to report and deal with it yourself." ”

"Yes!" The heralds quickly left the walls, and the troops inside the stone pass began to move.

Soon, the heavy door of the stone pass was opened.

With the stiff grinding sound of the doorway, a group of cavalry rushed out of the doorway, all wearing chain mail, barrel helmets, and heavy cavalry spears with thick arms.

500 Svadian knights were at the front, while 1,000 Swadia heavy cavalry were in the rear.

as well as Fatis and 10 Swadian royal knights.

That's his workhorse.

Powerful enough.

Purely evaluated by combat effectiveness, it is enough to withstand tens of thousands of light infantry.

According to the actual combat power and the effect of the blow to the enemy, even tens of thousands of light infantry cannot do it.

Compared with those mercenary groups that are full of ghosts, fighting on their own, extremely bloated and ineffective in command, and even ineffective in command, and in a state of internal strife and panic, this united heavy cavalry force composed entirely of Svadians is undoubtedly powerful, and can completely defeat everything!

And when this group of heavy cavalry appeared on the plain outside the solid stone pass, those mercenary groups that were supposed to attack the stone pass began to waver, and even dispersed directly!

That's right, it's just a rush to disperse!

Originally, they could still form a dense formation to resist.

However, when they saw the village, which had completely turned red, their morale was weakened to the extreme.

Even his own base camp was burned by fire, and I don't know what kind of attack the troops there have suffered, but just think about it, if I can hold it, then these fires can still appear?

Definitely not possible!

There is only one result - lost!

The aristocratic coalition did not hold the enemy's offensive and was completely broken through the defenses.

In the evening, just after dinner, and after a day's march, intending to rest, the enemy's defense was broken by the enemy's attack, completely shattering all resistance and turning the camp into a sea of fire.

Now that they saw the almost neat heavy cavalry troops coming out of the solid stone pass, how could they not be timid?

I was already terrified.

Now it's just scared!

Like a frightened bird, the mercenary's heart is completely replaced by fear.

Morale? What is that? Now they thought that they could survive, and even threw away all the debris when they ran, just to run faster, for fear of being caught up and killed by the cavalry.

The cavalry pursued the infantry with great ease.

It's just that.

Fatis didn't have that in mind.

Leading Swadia's heavy cavalry forward, he ignored the scattered mercenaries.

Around, the desert bandits who served as scout cavalry were eager to take the plunge, and for these poorly equipped light cavalry, chasing down a crumbling enemy was like chasing a lamb on a big dog as a child.

It's an enjoyable game.

"Spread out the scouting!"

However, Fatis gave an order: "At the target village, if you encounter a large force of troops, report immediately!" ”

"Yes!" The desert bandits put away the idea of rushing out to chase the enemy, so they had to quickly ride their horses forward, running towards the place where the crowd soared into the sky, and in the battle plan, completing the tactical objective was the most correct choice.

Otherwise, if you are punished by harsh military law, even elite cavalry will be whipped to death!

Disobeying the will of a general is a mistake with serious consequences.

The troops moved slowly.

The heavy cavalry looked indifferently ahead.

In the fire, the entire village had been completely set on fire, and countless howls could be faintly heard.

It was the cry of the villagers, who suffered great damage to their property in this fire, and even their relatives were violated, and the loss was immeasurable, which was basically equivalent to bankruptcy.

The subordinates of the nobles were not a good thing, or the medieval army discipline was poor.

And what about the more despicable mercenaries?

Stealing and robbery are fine.

What's even more terrifying is the robbery of the tent in the camp of the Women's Association, as well as breaking down the door and blackmailing.

This village originally belonged to the Jianshi Pass, and made a fortune in the salt trade, but because these noble alliances and mercenaries used the enemy to blackmail, now it has been burned down by a fire, what is it if it is not bankrupt?

The landlords became the commoners who had nothing, and the already poor commoners became bankrupt and poor.

No one can escape the scourge completely.

Or rather.

It's a blessing to survive.

What's more, because he met those red-eyed mercenaries, he was killed directly.

Even if it is resistant, a group of civilians, picking up kitchen knives and sickles and pitchforks, facing the most vicious mercenaries who are accustomed to seeing death, the final end is miserable, and those nobles will not care about these untouchables at all.

Eventually, when Fatis and his heavy cavalry arrived, the chaos was stopped.

The flag of the golden lion on a red background flutters.

The firelight shines.

Civilians who have lost their homes are crying about what happened to them.

And on the faces of the mercenaries who had not yet dispersed, there was panic, some knelt down and simply surrendered, and some fled towards the field with a fluke mentality.

"Kill them."

Fatis waved forward.

His face was calm: "Looting the villagers and burning the villages, the sins of these robbers are worthy of death." ”

"Yes!" The Svadia heavy cavalry rushed out first, their spears stabbing to death the mercenaries who had surrendered on their knees, and then pursued the mercenaries fleeing in the field.

Although they are heavy cavalry, their pursuit ability is not weak.

After all, it's cavalry.

Heavy cavalry jumped off their horses, wore chain mail, and rushed into the burning village with a warrior's sword in hand.

Many mercenaries are still hiding inside, and they need to search them out, and then stab them to death with a sword, and send these guys, who were defined as robbers by Lord Fatis, to meet the Grim Reaper of this world.

Leave no living, no captives, no hidden dangers.

That's what Phatis meant.

"Ridiculous."

Phatis looked up and swept across the wilderness to the south.

Countless figures were still fleeing in the dark, mercenaries fleeing the place, being hunted down by the Svadian heavy cavalry, slaughtered as easily as a lamb.

He turned his head and ordered: "Let all the heavy cavalry come back, and then go to Rolf, and he knows what to do with the rest." ”

"Yes!"

The herald nodded.

Then he took out the horn on his waist, blew out a "whine" sound vigorously and rhythmically, and issued an order.
