966. Battle
On the third day of leaving the town of Tanley,
Unsurprisingly, the group lost their way in the mountains, where Surdak was unable to make their way due to the lack of a map, and walked up the waterway, which eventually turned into several mountain streams in the valley.
Surdak also tried to retrieve the mountain path that led to the city of Mukuso, but the team of five had been searching for the mountain all day.
Now even the specific direction has been completely lost.
Surdak decided to climb a high ridge and take a look at the surrounding terrain.
There are many small beasts in the mountain forest, skunks, hedgehogs, pheasants, roe deer, many birds in the forest, and more mosquitoes, but the beasts have never been encountered.
Surdak and his party were looking for a high mountain range, and the team was at the top of a difficult mountain range, but it was densely wooded, and when they stood on the top of the canopy and looked around, the rolling jungle was almost completely covered by trees, and the mountain forest in the distance looked like a sea of undulating green.
Through a dense wood, the sound of fighting could be clearly heard below the valley, and a somewhat listless Samira immediately ran to the front.
When Surdak caught up, Samira was standing on the side of a large tree, peeking down a rare gap in the woodland into the valley.
The biggest difference between the two armies is that the cavalry regiments of the lords are wearing uniform armor and the weapons in their hands are relatively uniform, and they are very sophisticated.
But the armor worn by the rebels is more mixed, with light leather armor and heavy armor, and the weapons in their hands cover swords, axes, flails, spears, etc., Such an infantry regiment knows how limited its combat effectiveness will be, When encountering the cavalry regiment of the regular lord army, even if it has an absolute advantage in numbers, and it is also a terrain where the cavalry in the valley cannot complete the charge, but a group of rebels are still defeated by the lord army.
There were many rocks piled up in the valley, and some of the rebel infantry soldiers fell in pools of blood, and they were killed and retreated, but they still did not get out of the way of the valley entrance, and the will of the rebels to fight made him feel some admiration.
The cavalry regiment of the lord's army also suffered some casualties, and the cavalry's horses were not armoured, so many horses died on the battlefield at the bottom of the valley.
Neither the lord army nor the rebel army had any affection for them, so he didn't think about going down to join the fight.
I thought that since the cavalry could come in on horseback, then the valley below must be able to lead to the outside, and if I could get a few horses from the cavalry of the lord's army, it would be even better, and even walking would be saved.
At this time, however, Samira let out an exclamation, and with a sharp leap from the tree, ran to Surdak and said, "Among the crowds hiding in the valley are old men, children, and women who have escaped from the town of Takkale......
Surdak patted his forehead, and the bearded man told him that he was going to take a boat to Bansk, but now he seemed to be in the middle of nowhere, and he didn't think that the bearded man's identity must be very questionable.
In order to understand the situation, Surdak took a broadsword and split the bushes and vines in front of him, and continued to approach the valley floor.
It was only when the team approached the bottom of the valley that they could see that the valley was supposed to be a camp for the rebels, and that the rebel infantry had been killed and wounded, but they were still not defeated, because behind them were a group of unarmed women and children.
And the cavalry regiment of this lord's army should have discovered the rebel camp behind the valley, and they were not in a hurry to take it down in one fell swoop.
The commander still had the cavalry take turns attacking, ready to eat away at the rebel infantry regiments bit by bit.
There were dead bodies lying on the ground at the mouth of the valley, and the battle continued unstoppable.
Fortunately, there is still a team of archers out of the rebel valley, and every time the cavalry rushes within range, there will be a rain of arrows, but the number of archers in this team is not large, so the combat power formed is also very limited.
The cavalry had a great advantage in the battle with spears, and they were stabbed by spears before the infantry could get close.
Under the repeated attacks of the cavalry regiments of the lord army, the soldiers of the infantry regiment of the rebel army finally could not resist the fierce attack, and a cavalry squadron broke through the line of flesh and blood of the infantry and entered the valley camp.
The women, escorting a group of children, tried to retreat into the woodland on the left side of the valley, but were stopped by the cavalry squadron.
The young woman who had been molested by the lords in the Avid manor ran at the back of the crowd, with a bewildered little girl under her arm, and a cavalryman caught up, raised her spear high, and stabbed her to death along with the girl.
The young woman's eyes widened, and she fell in a pool of blood with the girl in her arms, who was no longer breathing.
The cavalry continued to pursue forward......
At this moment, Surdak's heart seemed to be touched by some emotion, and he no longer kept his sanity and hid in the woods, he drew the broadsword at his waist, split the vines and shrubs in front of him, and strode out of the woods.
Samira and Gullitm's eyes were also red, and when they saw Surdak rushing out, they immediately followed.
The half-elf archer came first, and the Sky Strike Bow in her hand frequently shot arrows as she ran, and the elf phantom behind her almost kept the same movement as her, and the steel arrows pierced the neck of the lord knight through the gap in the armor.
The knight's body fell forward, one foot hung on the stirrup, and the last bit of strength was lost under the drag of the warhorse, and the warhorse stopped from the gallop.
Samira shot five horsemen in a row, and her arrows could pierce the armor, but the tip of the arrow was half an inch deep into the armor, and it could not go any deeper.
The two-headed ogre Gulitm had a much larger stride than Surdak, and when he galloped with all his might, Surdak could only catch up with him on horseback.
At this time, the ogre, covered with a thick layer of ice armor, took the lead in colliding with the cavalry who rushed to the front, the war horse seemed to hit a wall, and Gulit slammed a stick on the horse's head, and the knight and the horse fell at the same time.
The cavalry on horseback rolled away the moment the horse fell, but was hit by a fireball thrown by Brain Flower.
A cloud of flames burst out on the cavalry, and the cavalry immediately turned into a burning man rolling on the ground.
Surdak rushed up behind Gulitham, and the cavalry behind also noticed this, and pointed the knight's spear in his hand at Gullitm and killed him from all sides.
Gulit let out a battle cry that shook the valley, rounded the big stick in his hand, and single-handedly resisted the charge of the three knights.
Surdak hurriedly took the opportunity to rush forward, blocking the spears of the knights on horseback with the Goethe shield, and the broadsword in his hand slashed at the horse's head without any armor, and a divine flame of light extended from the sword, and the heads of the three war horses were cut off at the same time.
The horses fell, and the three cavalrymen were crushed under their horses.
Surdak stepped over the carcasses and slashed their throats with his sword......
