Chapter Ninety-Four: The Fall of the Knights
In this era of war, war horses are very scarce resources, belonging to the top strategic materials, and the big nobles who have a large number of war horses will not sell them at all, even if they have enough wealth, it is difficult to buy a large number of war horses.
In the nearby territory, only the great lord Count Valen had a large number of war horses, and Chen Mo proposed to buy a large number of war horses at a high price at this time, and asked them to send someone to escort him, I believe that in order to find out his details, Count Valen is likely to agree.
Things were as Chen Mo expected, Count Valen not only agreed to his request to buy war horses, but also sent nearly half of the high-end combat power to escort him, and the moment he saw the group of knights escorting, Chen Mo already knew Count Valen's intentions.
Chen Mo only showed weakness slightly, and this group of arrogant knights who were dazzled by the gold couldn't wait to attack him.
This is exactly what Chen Mo wants, since the surrounding nobles have already thought about him, there is no need to lie dormant any longer, anyway, he is almost ready now, and he can start the next step.
In fact, even if they didn't do it, Chen Mo wouldn't let them leave, in Chen Mo's plan, this group of knights would be the first step for Chen Mo to start expanding outward.
However, compared to them taking the initiative to leave Chen Mo and intercepting and killing, this is obviously more in line with Chen Mo's interests and is more conducive to mobilizing the morale of the people.
Andrew and the others and the performance of the soldiers of the territorial guard Chen Mo also saw it, and he was very satisfied with both his loyalty and impromptu reaction, which showed that his training and cultivation effect was good, and he usually did not misunderstand their observations.
The other party had already launched an attack according to Chen Mo's thoughts, and all the goals had been achieved, Chen Mo naturally would not watch his loyal soldiers die at the hands of the enemy.
Although their strength is not much inferior to the other party under Chen Mo's training, the cavalry has a natural advantage over the infantry, and the powerful impact brought by the galloping war horse is not something that ordinary people can withstand, plus the advantages of speed, height, armor and equipment, once they collide head-on, Chen Mo's soldiers will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
This group of knights was only a dozen meters away from Chen Mo, and it only took a few seconds for the horses to rush from starting.
From the time the group of knights drew their long swords and began to attack, to Andrew and the others reacted, in fact, only a short time passed.
At this time, dozens of war horses, under the control of the knight, had just neighed and began to charge, Andrew and the others had just rushed in front of Chen Mo, and the soldiers of the escort team had only had time to rush forward a few steps.
At this moment, Chen Mo suddenly moved.
With a hard kick of his legs on the ground, Chen Mo's body instantly jumped out diagonally, crossed over the heads of Andrew and the others who were blocking him, directly crossed a distance of more than ten meters, and landed directly in front of the knight team that had just begun to charge.
The two knights at the front of the team saw that Chen Mo took the initiative to rush up, and they didn't have time to be surprised by Chen Mo's exaggerated jumping ability, so they directly reflexively slashed the long sword held high towards Chen Mo in front of him.
Facing the two long swords that were slashing at him at the same time on the left and right, Chen Mo's face was as calm as water, but his eyes flashed with a cold light.
As soon as his mind moved, the sword of the king instantly appeared in his hand, ignoring the two sharp swords that were quickly slashing towards him, and Chen Mo slashed through the air.
The incomparably expensive knight's sword and sturdy armor were as fragile as paper in front of the invincible king's sword, and the sword slashed sideways, directly cutting the two knights in two, along with the long sword in their hands and the heavy armor on their bodies.
As the horses jolted, the upper half of their bodies fell directly from the horses, but the lower bodies were still riding on the standing horses, and they ran forward together.
However, they had just begun to charge, and the horses had not yet been able to run, and now that there was no knight to control them, the two horses began to slow down, and soon stopped, carrying two half-cut corpses on their backs, and snorted in confusion.
Chen Mo's figure did not pause at all, and continued to swing his sword towards the knight behind him.
Although these knights rode on war horses, they didn't give them any advantage, Chen Mo was tall and long, and the king's sword was more than a meter long, so he could easily hit the knights on the war horse.
Chen Mo dodged the rushing war horses while slashing and slashing in the group of knights.
The knights who had just begun to charge were completely disrupted by Chen Mo's sudden slashing, and when they saw Chen Mo rushing into them, they all grabbed their horses, turned their horses, and surrounded Chen Mo.
It's just that in this way, they lost their biggest advantage, and they couldn't use the speed and impact of the war horse, but because they got together and hindered each other, their flexibility was greatly reduced, which made it even more convenient for Chen Mo's attack.
This group of knights huddled together, wanting to surround Chen Mo in the middle, slashing and slashing with his sword, but Chen Mo did not dodge or force, all the weapons that were slashed at him were cut off by him with a sword, and before they could change to other weapons, then a powerful sword attacked, each sword could take at least one person's life.
The armor that was usually extremely strong and could withstand almost all attacks for them was as fragile as paper under Chen Mo's sword, and every dead knight was killed by him by cutting through the armor with one blow.
For a while, I saw the sword light flashing in the knights' group, countless blood was thrown everywhere with the sword light, the neighing of war horses, the shouts of human beings and the terrible screams before death resounded over the entire manor.
The battle started abruptly and ended quickly, and by the time Andre and the others reacted and rushed up with the soldiers of the territorial guard, the battlefield was already full of blood.
Dozens of war horses wandered in confusion with only their legs and a small half of the torso on their backs, and the blood flowing from the corpses had already stained their backs red.
The ground was littered with broken weapons, fragments of shields, and dozens of knights with armor cut in half.
A powerful knight group composed of more than twenty heavily armed knights and more than forty knight squires, enough to fight against a dozen werewolves, was completely wiped out by Chen Mo in an instant.
Nearly half of the knightly strength under the command of Count Valen was buried, and nearly two hundred fine war horses were sent for nothing.
With war horses, cavalry can be formed, except for Andrew's nine, who already have the strength of knights, the strength of hundreds of guard soldiers is not weaker than that of ordinary knight squires.
I have to say that Chen Mo calculated Count Valen a lot this time, but he used this plan to count in one fell swoop and achieve many goals.
This year, in addition to training his soldiers, Chen Mo also made a lot of other preparations, and now the time is ripe to start his plan.
