Chapter 329 Unexpected

When a rain of arrows flew out of the dense forest, the knights on the horses hadn't even realized what had happened

To be honest, they never considered that they would be attacked... because in the inherent concept of the knights of the Karen Kingdom, it is impossible for the side with a small number to initiate a war.

These "knights" who have been idle at home all year round have no military quality at all. They are just a group of ordinary people who are armed and trained. In a feudal country, most of the knights who advocate personal force are stunned. When they go to the battlefield, they only know how to charge, and they don't listen to coordination and scheduling at all. So once a battle starts, the side with the most people will rush over and fight the enemy in front of them in a daze. After fighting, they will find that the number of enemies is getting smaller and smaller, and then they will win...

It sounds ridiculous, but this is indeed the process of most "battles" among the nobles of the kingdom-the concept that "the number of people determines the outcome" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

And looking at the caravan in front of him: not only is his army twice as many as them, but he also surrounds them. Under such circumstances, how could the other party dare to fight back?

But this kind of hesitation only appeared for a moment, and the next moment, the successive screams made them completely dumbfounded

The three or four servants in the front row were shot down on the ground before they drew their swords, while the knights on horseback were much luckier. Their armor "jingled" and bounced off a lot of arrows. After reacting, Just like a conditioned reflex, he clamped down on the horse's belly and launched a charge towards the caravan's line - the followers on both sides came back to their senses, screaming and swarming up...

But in front of them, the dozen or so carriages on both sides of the camp had already set up "city walls" to defend against the charge, leaving only two "gaps" five or six meters wide to meet the enemy. They also specially set up horse refusals, so the knights rushing over couldn't take advantage of their speed, and the infantry were even more huddled together, but they were shot down by wood elves over ten people in the process of approaching.

Facing an enemy twice as large as their own, the wood elves said that it was impossible not to be nervous. When the enemy shouted loudly and charged, Lando and the two wood elves beside him took a step back slightly, and then some Embarrassed, he started shooting.

Henry next to him showed a half-smile expression, didn't say much, just tugged on his tight waistband, turned around and walked towards the center of the camp.

In just seven or eight seconds, the soldiers in the front row had already made contact with the charging enemy.

The soldiers protecting the caravan were originally "Templar Knights", and their strength and tacit understanding were far stronger than those farmers who could only cultivate the land. After wearing armor that was far stronger than those knights, they fought against the enemy immediately. showed an overwhelming advantage

However, the suppression of the equipment was not the reason for Fat Henry's calm face at this time. When the knights were sprinting at close range, a cavalry team of 20 people suddenly rushed out from the other side of the forest.

They had been silently lurking for a long time, and when they appeared, they immediately cut into the enemy's formation like a sharp blade...

"boom"

The leading knight in black armor raised his spear and stabbed, and the iconic fighting spirit burst out, blasting away a large number of followers and cavalry who couldn't dodge——

"It's Wellington"

"How can it be?"

The knights, who were preparing to attack with all their strength, were thrown into chaos in an instant. They may not know who Roddy or Soderol are, but they must know what the name "Wellington" means...

He is the knight with the highest force value in the territory, and one of the right-hand men of the Duke of Angmar

The knights rushing forward under the rain of arrows were all dumbfounded: the intelligence said that the Wellington knights had gone to the south of the territory, why did they suddenly appear here?

The only answer to them was the explosion of the lance when it exploded with fighting spirit.

Although Wellington's team was small in number, their fighting power was unmatched. They tore apart the front line like a scalpel, and in an instant, the team of hundreds of people fell into panic and chaos...

The arrows of the wood elves hiding in the woods never stopped, and Buffon, who was supervising the battle with a dagger in his hand, gave the order to "counterattack" loudly after cutting down three groups of enemies—when more than 60 soldiers armed with When Sword and Shield rushed out of the camp, the brief battle basically declared victory.

"call"

Lando shot the last arrow in the quiver, and immediately found that his legs were a little stiff due to tension. He frowned, not satisfied with his performance... Obviously in his eyes, facing any battle Keeping calm is what a qualified fighter should do, and now... I'm obviously a little bit worse.

But in such a battle, Nata might not be able to be as calm as herself, right?

Unconsciously making some comparisons in his heart, Lando regained some confidence, and then sent a signal to let the dozen or so wood elves hiding in the woods enter the camp to rest.

The next thing he has to do is to "wait" - after cleaning the battlefield, Lando will lead the team to escort the team into the Forest of Whispering Whispers.

On the other side of the battlefield, the Knights of Wellington had already led the team to charge back and forth three times. This group of knights who have no fighting power at all can't resist their attacks at all, and have already begun to surrender or flee.

Wellington flicked his lance, and a little blood scattered instantly. His eyes hidden under the helmet could not see the slightest emotional fluctuations... The last few days of forbearance and dormancy finally reached the moment of eruption, but this kind of battle still made him feel "smooth" - he knew very well that it would make Ange The aristocrats that Duke Ma is embarrassing are definitely more than just a few clowns...

While thinking about this question in his mind, he who was on the edge of the battlefield suddenly turned his head and looked into the forest

Immediately, he took off his heavy helmet, listened carefully to the movement outside the hustle and bustle of the battlefield, and immediately rode his horse towards the center of the camp after a few seconds——

At this time, Henry had already decided that the battle was over, and he was chatting with Buffon about how to deal with the knights who spoke rudely before. When he saw Wellington rushing over, the fat man hurriedly stood up straight and asked, "Master Cavalier, what are you doing?" What's up?"

"There is movement in the west, is it from our own people?"

"West? We didn't arrange people in the west... Could it be Captain Rody's team?"

Henry was a little dazed, but suddenly there were some bad premonitions in his heart - Buffon next to him knew that something was wrong, so he got up and shouted at the soldiers: "Gather the team, gather the defense line, hurry up!"

The soldiers stood there at a loss. They had just won the victory and they didn't understand what happened. They all looked back to the center of the camp - but they collectively saw Fat Henry climbing into a carriage in a funny way. , looking seriously into the distance...

The sound of the battlefield was quieted down by the collective silence of the soldiers, and therefore, some movement from the west immediately caught their attention.

The edge of the woodland is only fifty meters away from here, and as the rumbling sound became louder, Henry immediately realized that there must be no less than three hundred people rushing here

"Collect the formation quickly"

Buffon yelled desperately, and the soldiers gradually came to their senses, leaving behind those prisoners who were stunned or subdued, and immediately retreated towards the camp's defense line, but before they could all return, a large group of cavalry came appeared in their field of vision

More than fifty armored cavalrymen hesitated for a moment after rushing out of the woodland, and then immediately pointed their spearheads at the camp. It was obvious that the target had already been determined-and behind them, groups of soldiers were approaching rushing out...

They are wearing uniform standard armor, and they have obviously undergone long-term combat training. When they cooperated with the cavalry to launch a positional charge, they even consciously formed a formation

Looking around, this team of nearly 400 people came in with the force of thunder, and its momentum far surpassed that group of cavaliers just now...

They don't have any marks that can judge their identities, but their equipment is as sophisticated as the private soldiers of the Duke of Angmar.

Fat Henry no longer had the relaxed expression he had before, and Buffon on the side was involuntarily distributing arrows to Lando and the others. The latter and the wood elves looked pale, but they were completely panicked—because of everything in front of them. , a completely unexpected situation

No one knows where the group came from, and Roddy has no backup plan to deal with the situation

"The camp can't stop this kind of impact..." Knight Wellington looked around with a stern expression. The "open area" specially selected before made them completely lose the room to retreat. Wellington simply judged the situation between the enemy and us, and then After seeing several familiar figures in the enemy team, he cursed in a low voice: "Bucero and Barr... this is Juan's team"

As early as a few days ago, Wellington found out through clues that there was the shadow of Viscount Juan behind these incidents. However, such suspicion is only one-sided, and there is no conclusive evidence.

And now, the opponent's large army has been prepared to appear here, which has clearly proved Juan's ambition-but the "proof" at this time is meaningless, because the opponent's formation obviously does not intend to stay alive

Wellington is powerful and confident to break through the siege, but the outcome of the war can never be changed by one person - it is easy to escape by oneself, but it is unknown how much the whole team can survive...

Apparently Henry and Buffon were also aware of this, and both showed hesitation. But Henry made a decision without much hesitation: He looked at the wood elves showing panicked expressions, and turned to Wellington and said, "Master Roddy told me that all tasks are based on keeping the wood elves alive. So... please, I will let all the cavalry troops help break out, as long as I can lead them out."

He pointed to Lando and the others, and then smiled helplessly: "To break out of the siege, you need riding skills to run fast. Who makes me lazy and fat so I can't run..."

Henry used to always question Roddy's decision, or had such thoughts, and he always said some "rebellious" words to Buffon on weekdays, or always revealed some petty thoughts that Roddy didn't dare to know...

But only he himself understands what he owed and what he should do.

The person in charge of the caravan drew his sword and walked to the front of the team, waved his hand and shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "When did we fail to do what Mr. Luodi told us?"
