329. Chapter 329 Unexpected
When a rain of arrows flew out of the dense forest, the knights riding on the horses didn't even react to what had happened.
To be honest, they had never considered that they would be attacked... because in the inherent concept of the Knights of the Kingdom of Karen, it is impossible for the side with a small number to take the initiative to start a war.
These "knights" who have been unemployed all year round have no military qualities at all. After all, they are just a group of ordinary people who are armed and trained. Under the feudal country, most of the knights who advocate personal force are young and are young. Once they go to the battlefield, they only know how to charge and ignore coordination and dispatch at all. So once the war begins, the more people often rushed over and fight against the enemies in front of them in a confused manner. As they fight, they find that there are fewer and fewer enemies, and then they win...
It sounds ridiculous, but this is indeed the process of most "fighting" among the nobles of the kingdom - the concept of "number of people determines victory or defeat" has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Looking at the caravan in front of him, not only did his troops twice as many as theirs, but they surrounded them in their formation. In this case, how could the other party dare to fight back?
However, this hesitation only appeared for a moment, and the next moment, the screams that sounded one after another completely stunned them!
The three or four entourages in the front row were shot to the ground before they could draw their swords. The knights riding on the horse were much lucky. Their armor bounced a lot of arrows. After they reacted, they squeezed the horse's belly like a conditioned reflex and charged towards the caravan's front. The entourers on both sides came to their senses and roared and rushed forward...
However, in front of them, the camp had already used more than a dozen carriages to set up "city walls" to defend the charge, leaving only two "blocks" five or six meters wide to catch the enemy. In addition to the gap, a special horse was set up, so the knights rushing over could not take advantage of their speed. The infantry were even more crowded, but they were shot over by the wood elves while approaching!
Facing an enemy twice as much as one, several wood elves said it was impossible not to be nervous. When the enemy shouted and launched a charge, Lando and the two wood elves beside him took a step back slightly, and then they began to shoot in a somewhat sluggish manner.
Henry next to him showed a smile on his face, and didn't say much, but just pulled his tight belt and turned around and walked towards the center of the camp.
In just seven or eight seconds, the soldiers in the front row had already contacted the enemy who was rushing over.
The soldiers who protected the caravan were originally "Temple Warriors", and their strength and tacit understanding were far stronger than those farmers who originally knew how to farm. After wearing armor that was far stronger than those knights, they immediately showed an overwhelming advantage after receiving the enemy!
However, the suppression of equipment was not the reason why Fat Henry looked calm at this time. When the knights launched a close-range sprint, a team of twenty-person cavalry suddenly rushed out on the other side of the forest!
They lurked silently for a long time, and appeared at this time, and immediately cut into the enemy formation like a sharp blade...
"boom!"
The knight in black armor raised his gun and stabbed it. The iconic fighting spirit burst out, and a large number of entourages and cavalry who were unable to dodge were blown away on the spot.
"It's Wellington!"
"How is that possible?!"
The Knights who were originally ready to attack were in a state of chaos in an instant. They didn't know who Roddy or Soder were, but they must know what the name "Wellington" means...
He is the knight at the peak of the military power value in the territory and one of the right-hand men of Duke Angma!
The knights who rushed forward in the rain of arrows were stunned: the information said that the Knights Wellington had already gone to the south of the territory, how could they suddenly appear here again?
The only answers to them was the explosion when the rifle burst with the fighting spirit.
Although the Wellington team was not large in number, their combat power was extremely powerful. They quickly tore the line apart like a scalpel, which instantly caused the team of 100 people to fall into fear and chaos...
The wood elves hiding in the woods never stopped arrows, while Buffon, who was in charge of the battle ahead, cut over three groups of enemies and issued a loud "counterattack" order - when more than 60 soldiers rushed out of the camp with swords and shields, the short battle basically declared victory.
"call…"
Lando shot the last arrow in the quiver, and then found that his legs were a little stiff due to tension. He frowned, not satisfied with his performance... Obviously, in his eyes, keeping calm in the face of any battle is what a qualified warrior should do, and now...is obviously a little short of it.
But in such a battle, I'm afraid Nata can't be so calm, right?
Unconsciously making some comparisons, Lando regained some confidence, and then sent a signal to let the dozen wood elves hidden in the woods enter the camp to rest.
The next thing he had to do was to "wait" - after cleaning the battlefield, Lando would lead the team to escort the team into Jingyu Forest.
On the other side of the battlefield, the Wellington Knights had led their team to rush back and forth three times. This group of knights with no combat power could not resist their attacks at all and had begun to surrender or flee.
Wellington swung his rifle, and blood scattered instantly. His eyes hidden under his helmet could not see any emotional fluctuations... The forbearance and dormancy for several days finally reached the moment of outbreak, but such a battle always made him unable to feel "pleasant" - he knew very well that there were definitely more than a few nobles who could make Duke Angma embarrassed, and there were definitely more than just a few clowns jumping...
He was thinking about this question in his mind, but he was on the edge of the battlefield suddenly turned his head and looked into the forest...
Then he took off his heavy helmet, listened carefully to the movement outside the hustle and bustle battlefield, and after a few seconds he immediately rushed to the center of the camp.
At this time, Henry had already determined that the battle was over and was chatting with Buffon about how to deal with the rude knights before. Seeing Wellington rushing over, the fat man hurriedly stood up and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"
"There is movement in the west, is it my own?"
"Western? We didn't arrange people in the west... Could it be Captain Roddy's team?"
Henry was a little stunned, but suddenly some bad premonitions appeared in his heart. Buffon next to him understood that something was wrong, so he stood up and shouted to the soldiers: "Come on the team! Closing the defense line! Hurry up!"
The soldiers stood there at a loss. They had just won the victory and had no idea what was going on. They all turned around and looked to the center of the camp. But they collectively saw the fat man Henry climbing up a carriage in a funny way, looking into the distance with a serious face...
The sound of the battlefield became quiet because the soldiers were collectively silent, and therefore, some movements from the west immediately attracted their attention.
The edge of the forest was only about fifty meters away from here. As the rumbling sound became louder, Henry immediately realized that the number of people rushing to here was definitely no less than three hundred!
"Closing the formation! Hurry up!"
Buffon shouted desperately, and the soldiers gradually reacted, and left the prisoners who were stunned or subdued, and immediately retreated to the camp's defense line. However, before they could all return, a large number of cavalry suddenly appeared in their sight!
More than fifty armored cavalrymen hesitated for a moment after rushing out of the woodland, but immediately pointed their finger at the camp, obviously having already determined the target - and behind them, teams of soldiers were rushing out...
They wore uniform standard armor and obviously had long-term combat training. When they cooperated with the cavalry to launch a position charge, they even consciously arranged the formation!
Looking around, this team of nearly 400 people suddenly attacked with thunder, and its momentum far exceeded the group of knights that had been pieced together just now...
They have no sign of judging their identities, but their elaborate level is comparable to that of Duke Angma's private soldiers!
The fat Henry no longer had the relaxed expression he had before. Buffon was sending arrows to Lando and others without saying anything. The latter and the wood elves looked pale, but they were completely panicked - because everything in front of them was completely unexpected!
No one knows where this group of people came from, and Roddy has no alternative plan to deal with this situation!
"The camp cannot resist this kind of impact..." The Knights Wellington looked around with a grim expression. The "empty area" they had chosen before completely lost their room to retreat. Wellington simply judged the situation of the enemy and us, and then cursed in a low voice after seeing several familiar figures in the enemy team: "Bouselo and Bar... This is Juan's team!"
As early as a few days ago, Wellington found through clues that Viscount Juan was behind these incidents. However, such suspicion was only unilateral and there was no conclusive evidence.
Now, the opponent's large army has appeared here with preparation, which has clearly proved Juan's ambition - but the "provement" at this time is meaningless, because the opponent's formation obviously does not intend to keep a living!
Wellington is powerful and confident to break through the siege, but the outcome of the war is never changed by one person - it is easy to escape by yourself, but how much the entire team can survive is an unknown...
Obviously, Henry and Buffon also realized this and both showed hesitation. But Henry made a decision without much hesitation: He looked at the wooden elves with panic expressions, and then said to Wellington: "Mr. Roddy told me that all tasks are based on the premise of preserving the survival of the wooden elves, so... please, I will let all the cavalry troops assist in breaking through, as long as they can take them out."
He pointed at Lando and others, and then smiled helplessly: "It is better to ride a horse to run fast through the siege. Who made me lazy and fat? I can't run..."
Henry once always questioned Roddy's decision, or had thoughts of it in one way or another, and always said something "rebellious" to Buffon on weekdays, or always exposed some thoughts that he dared not let Roddy know...
But only he himself understands what he had owe and what he should do.
