Chapter 259: Creating Panic
After successfully breaking through and leading the Rose Knights to flee the city, Sidney searched for a secluded valley and counted the remaining Rose Knights, but Sidney nearly fainted after the count. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info a full 2,000 rose knights, only more than 900 horsemen who can follow Sidney to break through, and more than half of the battle damage is beyond Sidney's bearing.
You know, these Rose Knights are not just admirers of Sidney, they were secretly trained by Paris for many years with the strength of the whole country to become an army, and this Rose Knights is only 3,000 people. Now that a third of the battle was killed by the Marquis of Leo, the Rose Knights can be said to have suffered a great loss of combat strength.
In fact, there were not so many rose knights who were actually killed in the street battles at the city gates, and most of the rose knights were killed by those goblins who were several times their size because they were scattered throughout the city of Linz. The Rose Knights, who have always been good at rebellion, infiltration, sneak attacks, etc., and will do almost anything to win the victory, have encountered a Goblin Legion that is even more despicable and shameless than them.
The Rose Knights are as pure as a little white flower under the hands of goblin soldiers who are far inferior to them, and they suffer greatly from all kinds of unimaginable sinister tricks such as traps, sticks, and trips.
"Your Excellency, Legion Commander, we ...... What shall we do now?" asked one of the chief knights, encouraged by his colleagues, to Sidney.
Sidney, who was not exhausted in anger, glared at the knight coldly, the chill in his eyes made him shrink his neck, Sidney lowered his head and pondered for a long time and said: "I didn't expect the Varu Empire to directly intervene in the war between Paris and Lorraine, it seems that the Varu Empire is also afraid of the strength of our Paris." With the strength we have left now, we can't deal with that Marquis of Leo at all, and we will send people to contact the Knights of Glory and Glory separately, and we will gather the strength of the three major knights, and prevent those Lorraine from entering the Varu Empire at all costs. ”
Just as the chief knight was about to receive his order, Sidney added: "Order all the knights to get some rest, and we must do everything we can to harass the evacuated party and force them to slow down in the next few days." ”
The two squads of cavalry galloped towards the direction where the Knights of the Wind and the Knights of Glory were located, and even if he was reluctant, Sidney had to gather the three major knights to besiege Leo together, even if they would be laughed at by Norris and Karl, they must avenge the Rose Knights who died in battle!
After a short break from the city of Linz, the Lords of Lorraine once again embarked on their journey into exile. After most of the residents of Linz voluntarily retreated north with the royal family of Lorraine, the group grew larger. If it weren't for the abundant reserves of various materials in Linz City, just tens of thousands of people would have died of sorrow on the way.
On the way, Pique and Nick saw that Leo and his soldiers were able to beat the Rose Knights away, and excitedly pestered Leo along the way, asking why the Holy Army soldiers were always in pairs, and why the Goblin soldiers became so brave.
Leo looked at the excited twin brothers speechlessly, he really didn't know how to tell the simple princes, the Holy Army warriors were in pairs because they were lovers, and the goblin soldiers became brave because they wanted to rob the Rose Knights. After glancing at Pique and Nick, Leo decided that he would not say anything about it himself, and let the two children maintain their innocence.
Leo will soon no longer be bothered by the entanglement of the two princes. The sound of horses' hooves rang out from both sides of the road, and a group of rose knights suddenly slammed into the retreating crowd, setting off a flurry of panicked exclamations and screams.
Of course, the Rose Knights didn't kill the civilians indiscriminately, they just rushed into the crowd to create panic and drive people away. The rose knights were ferocious but didn't linger, disappearing across the road before Leo could react.
Although the Rose Knight did not deliberately kill civilians, there were many civilians who were knocked and trampled on because of their horses, and although most of the injuries were not serious, the panic caused by them was irreparable. The moanings, cries, and noises from the crowd cast a shadow over the retreating procession, and the mood of the people became heavier and the expectations for the future became more and more slim.
And these were only the beginning, in just a few hours, the Rose Knights divided into several teams and launched a dozen attacks on the Lorrainians who retreated north. Each of their attacks has resulted in civilian casualties of varying degrees, and most importantly, people's psychological capacity is getting weaker and weaker, and many people are already despairing of retreating north.
"Young Master, we can't go on like this! since they are scattered to attack, the number of people in each team must not be large, otherwise we will also divide the goblin soldiers along the way to protect the retreating team." Seeing this situation, Feng Xifan immediately suggested to Leo.
"Well, Master Feng, you're right!" Leo nodded and agreed with Feng Xifan's idea.
"Karaxiu!" Leo summoned Karaxiu and told him, "Divide the goblin soldiers into ten squads, each team of three hundred goblin soldiers, led by the Holy Army warriors, protect the civilians along the way, and if the Rose Knights come to attack, lead them to the location of other squads if the number is large, and kill them if the number is small!"
"Yes, great master, Karaxiu will definitely let those sneak attackers not be able to eat and walk around!" Karaxiu screamed and ordered, and went to arrange the grouping of goblin soldiers.
Each group of Goblin Soldiers is led by a pair of Holy Army warriors, which allows you to command the Goblin Soldiers in battle and prevent them from harassing civilians. You know, in the eyes of the goblins, those civilians who carry all their belongings with them are also big fat sheep, and if they are not restrained, there may be goblins who can't help but rob the civilians.
After losing two teams of men and horses in succession, the rose knights temporarily disappeared into the woods on both sides of the road, after all, they were far inferior to the northward retreating team in terms of numbers, and they could not afford much attrition.
Just when the Lorrainians thought they were safe, Captain Sidney came up with other ways to harass them.
