Chapter 421: Attack in Sections
The commander of the Ram Knights rode to the rear of the army and saw from afar a group of heavily armored Midland cavalrymen rushing towards them. There seemed to be thousands of them.
"It seems that this is not an ordinary cavalry unit, but the elite knights of Midland."
The leader of the Ram Knights immediately shouted to the Ram Knights behind him:
"Everyone, charge formation, attack!"
When the Ram Knights heard the captain's order, they immediately adjusted their formation.
Laban, who was far away, felt a little nervous when he saw the Ram Knights forming a formation and charging towards him.
This is one of Yoda's most famous knight orders, with a brilliant record, which is simply incomparable to his White Horse Knights, which was formed only a few years ago.
Now he could only pray secretly in his heart, hoping that his knights could withstand the attack from the opposite side.
The Ram Knights adjusted their formation at an astonishing speed. A melodious trumpet sounded on the battlefield. The Ram Knights raised their lances and rode their warhorses, rushing towards the White Horse Knights like lightning. The formations of both sides came into contact in an instant, and the knights were pierced by their lances or fell off their horses.
Laban looked at the lance of the ram rider on the opposite side stabbing towards him, and he immediately dodged it. The white horse knight behind him stabbed the ram rider who was unable to dodge with his lance.
At the same time, after the leader of the Ram Knights stabbed a white horse knight off his horse with his lance, he immediately drew out his one-handed sword and slashed at the white horse knight in front of him.
After a fierce charge, the knights dropped their broken lances and started close combat on horseback. The knights on both sides hacked and killed each other in the chaos, with the sound of horse hooves, swords, and the shouts of the knights intertwined, so that the knights could only fight on their own and distinguish between the enemy and the enemy by the armor on their bodies.
Many knights were knocked off their horses in the chaos and then trampled under countless horses' hooves.
"Sir, the person opposite is the commander of this knight group!"
Just when the leader of the Ram Knights was having fun killing, a Ram Knight pointed at Laban in the distance. He took a quick look and found that the armor on the other side was indeed more decorated than that of other Midland Knights.
"drive!"
The leader of the Ram Knights immediately clamped his horse's belly and urged the horse to charge forward. He rushed left and right, and several Midland Knights were unable to resist him and were chopped to the ground by him.
At this time, Laban was swinging his sword and slashed a ram rider's neck with lightning speed. Blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing directly on half of his face and blurring his vision.
Just as he was about to wipe the blood off his face, he saw a Yoda Knight suddenly rushing over and slashing at him with a sword in his hand. Laban reacted quickly and immediately raised his sword to block. There was a loud "clang" sound, and the two swords collided in the air, making a harsh metal friction sound.
Laban felt a strong force coming, almost making him lose his grip on the sword. He gritted his teeth, gripped the hilt tightly, and tried his best to keep his body steady. At the same time, he also realized that other Yoda Knights had never felt such a strong force.
"It seems that this is the leader of the Ram Knights."
Laban made the decision in an instant. He suddenly changed direction, and the sword in his hand quickly changed from a blocking posture to an attacking posture, stabbing at the leader of the Ram Knights like a lightning bolt.
The leader obviously did not expect Laban to suddenly change his strategy, and he was thrown into confusion by the sudden attack. He immediately raised his sword and blocked Laban's fatal blow.
What he didn't expect was that at the moment he blocked, Laban cleverly turned his horse's head and ran out of the battlefield.
"Ok?"
Upon seeing this, the leader of the Ram Knights was confused but he did not hesitate to pursue the victory, hoping to capture Laban in one fell swoop.
At the same time, the situation on the battlefield was also quietly changing. A knight from the White Horse Knights held their flag high and rushed in a direction away from the battlefield, waving the flag continuously.
Then a team of White Horse Knights launched a fierce attack on the flank of Yoda's army.
The soldiers seemed a little lax in the barracks. After all, most of them had been sent to the front lines, leaving only the infantry guarding the baggage and the artillery responsible for operating the heavy siege artillery.
The artillerymen had temporarily stopped firing at Saint-Remy because of the fighting on the front lines, so they gathered together to chat, joke and relax.
The other soldiers were busy with their own affairs, and some of them took off their armor because they felt hot. The soldiers guarding the perimeter were scattered against the wooden fence, and it seemed that they were not on the battlefield at all.
At this moment, a Yoda soldier suddenly felt the earth shaking. He pricked up his ears alertly and listened carefully, and then heard a sound of horse hooves. He immediately woke up his sleeping colleague and said:
"Listen, there are the sounds of horse hooves."
"It means the captain is back. Why are you so nervous? Saint Remy has been surrounded. There is no way the Midland army could attack us by surprise."
The soldier who was awakened yawned and answered without much concern.
As he spoke, he looked into the distance, but he soon felt something was wrong. Why were the armors of those knights more reflective than before?
"not good!"
He immediately rushed into the camp and shouted:
"Enemy troops are approaching!"
His voice echoed in the camp, breaking the silence of the soldiers. Other soldiers were awakened by the sudden shout, and they stood up one after another, putting on armor and picking up weapons in the chaos.
The White Horse Knights' raid was like a sudden storm, sweeping through the originally relaxed military camp. Before the Yoda soldiers had time to gather, they were frightened by the sword lights and horse hooves of the knights rushing in from the camp gate and fled in all directions. Those soldiers without armor became the targets of the knights. Without armor protection, these soldiers could only become the souls of the White Horse Knights' swords.
The White Horse Knights' surprise attack was like a sudden storm, sweeping through the originally relaxed military camp. Before the Yoda soldiers had time to gather, they were frightened by the sword flashes and horse hooves of the knights and fled in all directions. Those soldiers without armor became the targets of the knights' harvest, and their lives seemed so fragile under the knights' swords.
However, the attack of the Knights of the White Horse was not without purpose. Their main target was the artillery positions, and those huge siege guns became a thorn in their eyes. When they rushed into the artillery positions, they found that the artillery had already fled without a trace, leaving only scattered gunpowder barrels and various artillery.
"Follow the plan, pile the gunpowder barrels near these guns, light them and evacuate immediately."
The leading knight calmly gave the order, and the other knights immediately followed suit. They quickly dismounted and began to carry the gunpowder barrels. Soon, the gunpowder barrels were piled next to the siege artillery, forming a huge gunpowder pile.
When the knight standing in the distance saw that the other knights had left, he immediately threw the torch in his hand at the gunpowder barrel. The gunpowder barrel was immediately ignited, and the flames spread rapidly. The knight urged his horse and ran out of the camp gate immediately.
At this moment, a violent explosion sounded in the military camp. The explosion of the gunpowder barrel was so powerful that the knight did not dare to look back. He just buried his head under the horse's back and took advantage of the chaos to leave the camp of the Yoda army.
The leader of the Ram Knights in the distance saw the thick smoke rising from his camp, cried out inwardly that something was wrong, and immediately gave up on Laban and rushed towards the camp. As the leader retreated, the remaining Ram Knights immediately followed him towards the camp.
