Lord of the Oasis

The coalition of nobles from the North County Command finally reached the vicinity of the Stone Pass.

The originally rough dirt road has completely disappeared from the traces of caravans and pedestrians.

Only in the flat wilderness in the distance, occasionally a few figures on horses, passing by quickly, flashed by in the night, even the cavalry sent by the noble coalition could not catch up.

These cavalrymen are desert robbers, scattered outside, following these noble coalition forces from a distance.

The task is to investigate.

If the light cavalry of the nobles came to drive them away, they would leave without any hesitation.

But when the light cavalry retreats, these desert robbers will follow like flies.

Hanging from a distance, the distance between the two sides will never exceed 100 meters. This is simply too easy for desert robbers. It is easier than following those caravans in the Sarand desert.

After all, they are all bandits, excellent light cavalry honed in the desert!

Even when the hussars got too close.

After staying away from the noble coalition.

These desert robbers brazenly showed their fangs, pulled out short javelins in their backhands, rushed over in twos and threes, and shot all those light cavalry soldiers who had no long-range attack methods to death under their horses.

In terms of mobility and agility, as well as throwing the javelin, the Desert Bandits are extremely confident!

Just look at the light cavalry of the noble coalition.

The chase was full of fire.

unconsciously.

Go deep into the hinterland of the plain, far away from the allied forces of the nobles.

Originally, the desert robbers who stopped were still full of excitement, and wanted to rush up to deal with these sneaky guys, but unexpectedly, those sneaky guys recoiled instead.

Before they could draw their swords to fight, they were nailed to the horse's back by a rain of short javelins thrown out.

conventional combat?

For desert robbers, this is the norm!

Stop and go along the way, harassing the noble coalition forces, these desert robbers are like having fun.

Except for a few unlucky ghosts who got too close to the formation of the noble coalition and were killed by a rain of arrows fired by a powerful crossbow inside, no desert robbers were injured, but in the end it was a loss.

And just in a slightly sunken ancient river channel in the distance of the noble coalition, thousands of cavalry were staying.

Rolf is here.

The surrounding cavalry are also light cavalry, desert bandits and desert bandits elite.

There are thousands of people, and there are desert robbers who have just recruited from the sentry oasis. The current number is 600 most common desert robbers, and 1,000 desert robbers who are elites for raiding operations.

Those who scattered to follow the noble coalition before were ordinary desert robbers.

And this caused a lot of losses to the light cavalry of the nobles.

"Lord Rolfe!"

A desert robber came quickly.

Respectfully, he dismounted, and half-kneeled in front of Rolfe to report: "The coalition of nobles from the North County Command has appeared in a village about 30 miles south of the Stone Pass. They are in a temporary camp in Anza, and they seem to be preparing to rest."

"Well." Rolf sat on a chair with a map in front of him: "Have you notified Fatis?"

"already arranged."

The desert robber nodded: "It is estimated that it has reached the Stone Pass now, and Lord Fatis has also received the news." After a while, he still reported: "However, the group of nobles seems to want to take advantage of the dark to launch an attack. , In our observation, some impatient mercenaries are still heading towards the Stone Pass."

"Attack in the dark? It's really interesting!" Rolf sneered, put down the map in his hand, and said, "Do those mercenaries think they can easily defeat the defenders on the city wall?"

"They have siege weapons."

The desert robber reported: "It seems to be a bed crossbow, in the accompanying carriage, and after bribing some mercenaries, they said that there are parts of trebuchets, and it is estimated that these trebuchets are the main weapons for siege. ."

"This is difficult." Rolf touched the short beard on his chin: "Are you sure?" He looked at the desert robber,

After getting a positive answer, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Let my lads get ready, get the linen ready, and we're going to have a welcoming ceremony for our friends."

"Yes!" The desert robber stepped back and spread the news throughout the entire cavalry unit.

This is preparation before the battle.

After 30 minutes.

Rolf rode his horse and marched on the plain.

Spears, machetes, and short javelins are ready, and the linen wrapped in the horse's back.

These light cavalry troops moved forward quickly, rumbling like rolling thunder, but when they were about to reach the vicinity of the village, they quickly stopped and ran. .

Moonlight and starlight illuminate the earth, and even in the middle of the night, you can still see far away.

But it's blurry, not real at all.

Nothing compares to daytime.

Therefore, Rolf and the others can slowly approach the village where the allied nobles are stationed.

It doesn't even matter to the hussars wandering around, there are desert robbers like crazy, feinting on the other side of the village, which is part of the plan for them, just like they did in the first place.

In the Sarand desert, the feint attracts the attention of the caravan guards, and the other side is the main force who really plunders the caravan!

"All right."

Rolf led the horse in front.

They did not encounter any reconnaissance and patrolling light cavalry along the way.

Because just on the other side of the village, 600 desert robbers were cursing the coalition like crazy, attracting the attention of the light cavalry, and back and forth, beating and running, not fighting against each other, nor retreating immediately Instead, it was like a fly flying back and forth, completely annoying the light cavalry that belonged to the noble coalition.

A large number of light cavalrymen originally used for reconnaissance and patrolling around were all dispatched in order to hunt down these 600 desert robbers, and even some light infantrymen were sent out.

"Ready to fight!"

Rolfe's eyes were deep, he slowly pulled out the scimitar from his waist, turned his head and said, "Start action!"

"start to act!"

The captains gave orders one after another.

They began to trot at a brisk pace, leading the warhorse to trot on the soft soil, and the soles of their feet and the warhorse's hooves were wrapped in linen, so the sound was not roaring, but rather strangely muffled.

It's like a rock is rolling, although there is a sound, it can't travel too far.

in this night.

300 meters away is the deep night sky.

And in this short distance, for the cavalry, it may turn up at any time and change into a charge state!

Looking at the outline of the village in the starry night ahead, and the tents scattered around the village after many torches were lit, Rolfe directly got on his horse, kicked the horse's belly fiercely, and shouted loudly: "Charge!"

"Kill!" 1,000 elite desert robbers rushed over immediately!
