Chapter 232 Worry

In the era of "Cracked Earth", people did not have the concept of "street fighting" in their minds - castles, fortresses or even manors, no matter how they fought before, once the gate was breached, it basically declared the victory of the battle .

Because the breach of the defense line will cause the morale of the defenders to drop directly to the bottom, the subsequent battle is basically a one-sided massacre.

With this in mind, when they saw the iron gate of the manor collapsed, the soldiers rushing to the front immediately became very excited.

According to common sense, there is no suspense in this battle.

There was some movement from the manor's mansion, but it was quickly submerged in the sound of horseshoes brought by the cavalry behind them. The candlelight in the master bedroom on the second floor flickered a few times, and a figure flashed past in a hurry—seeing this scene, the two barons on the horse couldn't help smiling and narrowing their eyes, and promised rewards to the soldiers in front:

"One head is exchanged for three silver coins, and the one who kills Soderol will be rewarded with one gold coin"

The already hasty pace of the soldiers quickened again in an instant, and the excitement and enthusiasm in their eyes were undisguised... These people said they were "soldiers", but they were actually strong farmers in the village in the past. All their fighting desires basically came from Yearning for money, so when I heard the words "gold coin" and "silver coin", I rushed up even harder - the gate of the mansion was right in front of me, and the soldiers at the front had already clenched their weapons , wailing and preparing to smash open the solid wooden door.

But when there were still seven or eight meters away, the door suddenly... opened.

The soldiers in front were stunned for a moment. Because there were no candles lit in the dim mansion hall, it was pitch black at this moment, and they couldn't see anything inside—but the echo of horseshoes hitting the floor when the horses were walking was clearly heard...

"They have horses that are cavalry"

"careful"

It was too late to react, and with a loud "drive", led by Soderol, five knights on horses rushed out of the mansion, directly crashing into the soldiers in the front row

These knights are wearing half-body light armor. Except for Soderol who is holding a heavy sword, the remaining four are all holding terrifying heavy weapons-two-handed axes, chain hammers, maces... These are difficult for ordinary people to hold. The weapons in the close-distance sprinting battle immediately displayed terrifying power

There was the sound of a piece of watermelon being smashed, and amidst the splashes of blood, the five knights jumped forward almost stepping on the corpses of the soldiers in the first row.

The soldiers who had just rushed into the manor didn't have any vigilance at all, so their formation was completely disorganized-at this time they were suddenly attacked, they only felt that five black mountains rushed out head-on, and when they raised their heads to meet the enemy , the originally high morale was suppressed and disappeared in an instant...

Soderol is 1.9 meters tall, and the scouts following him are all burly men with a height of 1.8 meters. At this time, they are simply charging forward on horseback, which is enough to make people feel "unable to meet" despair feel.

What's even more frightening is that Suo Deluoer and others are definitely not "looks". After waving their weapons mercilessly, the infantry of the second echelon to meet the enemy flew out again.

Although there were only five people, when the horses advanced, they ignored the blocking of the infantry like a scythe—in front of real professional soldiers, these soldiers could only be called "farmers", and there was no single enemy at all.

The infantry were dumbfounded, the people in front stopped and tried to avoid, and the people behind were crowded together because of the narrow entrance of the manor, which made some soldiers unable to retreat and hide, and finally had to throw away their weapons and face towards the dead. Escape from the side... And in this way, the morale of the infantrymen, which was still strong just now, completely collapsed.

"rush out"

Suo Deluoer's order was calm and steady, which was in stark contrast to the soldiers who had started to flee in all directions at this time - five armored light cavalry rushed out of the mansion with ease, and formed a group of more than 20 infantry on the same level. Behind the defensive line, there is almost an illusion that the soldiers who rushed into the manor were forced back

The two barons standing behind were completely frightened by this scene. It felt as if some kind of ferocious beast had been released from the manor. There were several soldiers trying to attack these knights in the field of vision, but when the huge chain hammer wheel came over , their bodies were smashed to pieces amidst muffled noises.

Chest shattered, skulls exploded, and the terrifying power of heavy weapons was vividly interpreted in such encounters...

"I am Baron Soderol, shameless raider, you will pay for it"

In the bloody scene like hell, Suo Deluoer, who was rushing forward, shouted at these soldiers. After that, he didn't bother to fight, turned around and ran towards the back of the manor, as if "a good man doesn't suffer from immediate losses".

Such a result made the faces of the two barons extremely ugly in an instant. They wanted to chase after them, but when they saw the smashed corpse, they could only hold the reins tightly, and shouted to the side angrily: "Up, up, up, up!" ——Catch up and hack them to death. There are only five people, so why let them run away?"

The more than 60 knights beside him immediately responded and rushed towards the manor. However, they ran fast, and the soldiers who were trying to pursue them ran slowly. With such a rush, there was not enough space in the manor for the cavalry to circle around. As a result, many infantrymen were unable to dodge, and were actually knocked out by their own people...

The scene was instantly chaotic.

This was not the scene the two barons had expected - when they saw that there were only five people on the other side, they were secretly delighted, but in an instant, the other side left in the dust, but their soldiers huddled together like waste, This gap is really unacceptable...

"Damn it, get out of the way and surround them from the left and right, can they still escape in the manor?

Shouting like this, but only a few people can really hear it on the chaotic battlefield - the fighting style of lords in this era is actually the same: the commander's order is difficult to pass on to the battlefield, and a group of "militiamen" who have not undergone systematic training "A group of knight lords who have been pampered all the year round, it is indeed difficult to deal with such a battlefield suddenly...

However, the cavalry were fast enough after all. After getting rid of the entanglement of their own people, they immediately began to speed up, bypassing the manor house and passing through the abandoned back garden. The five knights who entered the corner did not know that when they turned their vision around, they only saw the back figure running towards the distant forest...

Turning their gazes closer, they realized that a part of the fence of the manor had been dismantled

The faces of the two barons who followed were extremely ugly—sixty cavalrymen and more than a hundred infantrymen, how could five of them escape so easily?

"I'm going to see Soderol's head within an hour of chasing"

Amid the angry reprimands, more than sixty knights rumbled towards the five black shadows in the distance. And the soldiers who were left behind also reported a piece of news at this time——

"The Catacombs Are Empty"

"There is no one in the estate"

"Lord Baron, this place is empty..."

"I know it's empty, so what are you waiting for? Let's chase it together."

The roar sounded in the back garden of the manor, and then the two barons looked at each other, but they raised their whips at the same time - the opportunity to avenge Ansadin was at hand, and they couldn't miss it no matter what.

"A group of mentally handicapped."

In the forest two kilometers away from the manor, Rody stood on the temporary sentry tower and watched the knights chasing after him like a swarm of bees in the distance, and gave a very rude "evaluation".

With a pine needle in his mouth, although Luo Di's tone was more joking, his face was not relaxed at this time.

After realizing that there was a problem with the negotiations among the nobles, he immediately led most of the soldiers to the line of defense that had been repaired a week ago—speaking of which, the line of defense that has accumulated a lot of fortifications was originally brought. To deal with this group of "traitors", but its activation time was advanced because of the opponent's attack...

This was an unplanned situation—according to the original agreement, Rody only needed to keep these nobles in Kig Town until the 2nd. However, this targeted attack launched in the early morning of the 10th still made Roddy There was some uneasiness.

If you don't make it to number 2, you're screwed.

But such thoughts were fleeting. Looking at the chaotic knights chasing in the distance, Rody quickly suppressed those unreliable thoughts--a joke, if he can't even beat these guys, he still can't beat them. What are you planning?

After calculating the travel time of Soderol, Rody turned around and made a "ready to fight" gesture to Ruger.

Turning his eyes to the other side, when Akasha, who was squatting behind a tree, just looked over and looked at each other, Rody nodded indifferently, and then went to sort out the quiver behind his back.

Akasha below blinked her eyes, pursed her lips slightly and looked away, her expression didn't seem to change, but the palms under the sleeves of her robes were slightly clenched, and the palms were unconsciously moist.

Unable to tell whether it was nervousness or other emotions in her heart, Akasha looked down at the ring on her finger, and whispered to herself: "Remember what he said, don't hold back..."

The soldiers inside the line of defense had already made preparations, but to outsiders, the place looked completely "empty"—whether they were scouts or temple guards, they all hid their bodies under the fallen leaves as ordered. at every turn.

time flies.

The sound of horseshoes gradually became louder, and when the first rays of the rising sun illuminated the trees at the top of the forest, Suo Deluoer and others just rushed into the dense forest.

Behind them, sixty cavalry dragged a long formation, chasing after them chaotically...
