Chapter 234: Defeat and Fall
The officers under Logaris's command suddenly burst out and killed, and the two guards were not prepared at all, and suddenly they felt a pain in their chests, and looked down to see that a short sword had been inserted into their chest. As soon as Logaris' men saw that the sneak attack was successful, they immediately rushed up and quickly put down the few remaining guards.
Despite their swift movements, they were spotted when a group of patrolling sentries approached not far away, and as soon as they saw several guards killed on the ground, a sharp whistle immediately resounded over the camp.
"There are assassins, protect your majesty!" soon became a commotion in the camp, and the king's personal guards immediately rushed out of the tent and gathered around the king's tent.
At this time, several of Lorgaris' men were fighting with some of the guards guarding the king's tent, and seeing that the matter had been revealed, several of them turned around and fled to the other end of the camp. Lorgaris sent men to attack the king only to distract himself, and now that everyone's attention was drawn to the king's side, Logaris immediately led his heavily armed direct troops to the garrisons of the other troops.
Riding on his horse, he brandished his sword and commanded loudly: "Hurry up! Don't show mercy to your men, kill if you can, and set fire to those who can't!"
There are about seven or eight thousand people directly under Logaris, these people were originally stationed at the border, most of these people are hooligans, ruffians or criminals, and they are all vicious people.
Such troops have a very poor fighting spirit on the battlefield, but they are more ferocious than jackals in killing their own people, and I saw soldiers with spears in their hands rushing to the tents of other troops, and many of them were pierced through the body by spears while still asleep. Soldiers armed with torches lit the tents one by one, and in a short time the camp burst into flames.
The flames lit the sky, the camp was filled with screams and fighting, and the entire King's army was thrown into utter chaos. The camp of the king's army was divided into three inner layers, the outermost circle was the soldiers' camp, the middle floor was the garrison of nobles, officers and personal guards, and the innermost layer was the king's camp.
Now the outermost camp has become a pot of porridge, the soldiers are fleeing in all directions, the soldiers cannot find the generals, the soldiers will not find the soldiers, and they cannot distinguish who is the enemy and who is the friend, many soldiers have red eyes, cut down when they see people, set fire when they see them, and the billowing smoke fills the sky over the camp as if they are in hell.
Logaris had succeeded in causing chaos, and he immediately led his troops towards the second level of the camp. Each level of camp is separated by a wooden fence, and in addition to this, there are four camp gates in the south, east, and west. Logaris led his troops to launch a fierce attack on the west gate, and the soldiers guarding the gate clung to it, desperately preventing the rebels from outside from entering. Seeing that this was not the case, Logaris summoned several officers and said to them, "Set it on fire!"
"My lord, I'm afraid this will cause a fire. Several officers said worriedly.
It is not that Logaris has not considered such consequences, once the wooden fence is ignited, the fire is likely to spread to the entire camp, and the situation will be more chaotic at that time, but Logaris is more worried than the fire that the nobles will wake up, so that he will die without a place to bury, after all, the nobles still have the majority of the army.
"No matter, burn!" said Logaris, gritting his teeth.
When the soldiers received the order, they immediately brought firewood and grass and piled it in front of the camp gate, and several soldiers sprinkled it with fire oil, and the raging fire soon burned, and the choking smoke suddenly spread in all directions. The soldiers guarding the gate could not stand the smoke either, and fled deeper into the camp one by one, covering their noses and mouths.
The fire quickly destroyed half of the camp gates, and Logaris ordered, "Kill it!" With the order, the soldiers roared and slaughtered into the second level of the camp.
"Kill, kill these nobles!"
"Rob them all, I heard that these nobles are rich!"
"Kill them all, don't spare the nobles!"
The ferocity in the bones of these soldiers has been aroused, and now they have long forgotten their original purpose, and all they can think about is burning, killing and looting. Logaris didn't want to restrain them, all he wanted now was to mess up the situation, and he didn't care what the soldiers were thinking.
The rebels rushed into the second layer of the camp, which made the nobles fall into extreme panic, and they were not too worried about the chaos in the outer layer, as long as the officers tried their best to suppress it, it must not be a big problem, but the second layer of the camp was breached, which directly threatened their safety. The nobles were men who spared their lives, and when they saw that their lives were threatened, they were frightened one by one and fled to the king's camp.
"Your Majesty, save us!" the nobles shouted around the king's tent, and some even sat on the ground and wept.
King Malves was awake by this time, and he sat in the big tent in a daze, and the noise outside seemed to come from another world. He didn't understand why things had developed into such an uncontrollable situation overnight, he didn't do anything, why did it happen......
Count Leblas didn't care about the notification, pushed away the guards and forced his way into the big tent, he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, go quickly, Logaris has rebelled, and he is leading the attack on the camp!"
"Ah, why, why did he rebel?" asked Malwes, looking at Count Lebras with a blank stare.
Count Leblas said hurriedly: "He probably knew that we were going to seize his power, so he took the risk, the camp is no longer safe, Your Majesty must leave immediately!"
"This ...... I...... Where to go?" Malvez was completely confused, unable to utter a whole sentence for a long time.
Count Leblas didn't have any idea, but he knew very well that staying in the camp would be a dead end, and he had to get out of here first. He said casually, "Let's go back to my territory first, and when we get there, we're regrouping our army." ”
"Okay, okay, let's go right away. With the help of the Count, Malves hurriedly stood up and walked out of the tent together.
Seeing that the second tier of the camp was already in disarray, and knowing that his plan was halfway through, Logaris ordered his followers and said, "Raise the yellow flag and inform the Savan army!"
Soon a yellow flag fluttered above the camp, standing out against the skyrocketing fire.
Savin and the others had been waiting outside the camp for a long time, and the chaos in the camp was clearly visible, and at first everyone was worried that this might be a trap for the enemy, but soon the raging fire spread to the entire camp, and the extreme chaos made everyone feel relieved. It is impossible to pretend to be in such a situation, otherwise it would be crazy.
When the yellow flag appeared on the flagpole, Savin knew that the time had come, and he ordered loudly: "The time has come, everyone follow me in!"
With Savan's shout, the whole army began to move, and thousands of troops let out a tiger and wolf scream, and slaughtered the king's army camp. The Sahain army rushed into the chaotic barracks like a stream of iron, and those chaotic soldiers who fled and fought in all directions rushed to pieces in an instant, and those who dared to resist were cut to pieces in an instant.
The Sahains consciously drove the rebels to the same place, then surrounded them and ordered them to surrender. Savan's goal was not only to defeat the enemy, but he also wanted to turn these soldiers into his own army, and it would be too tyrannical to eat tens of thousands of ready-made troops.
Although these armies are generally weak, there will always be some good soldiers and officers among them, and as long as they are carefully screened, they will still be able to leave a good army.
After a whole night of fighting, a huge camp was almost burned to the ground, and the charred corpses emitted a foul smell, and the place where the flags flew yesterday now looked like hell.
The king had fled under the cover of the nobles, leaving behind a large number of soldiers and officers, and had lost their heads, who had no choice but to surrender, and most of them were taken prisoner, except for a few who died in battle.
Savin rode on his horse and looked at the troops who were kneeling all over the place, and roughly calculated in his heart, I am afraid that one or two thousand people will be captured in this battle, and then his army will grow a little, this battle can really be said to be very fruitful, not only to collect so many soldiers, but also to harvest Logaris, so that there is no need to worry about those border guards.
