Chapter 1934: Get down and surrender
Lancelot's soldiers broke through the siege from the north.
But they did not leave, but continued to turn right and swept towards the team blocking the way.
Another rush to kill.
There are many knights on this road, three thousand in total.
This brings together the elites of several kingdoms.
These knights are enough to sweep many kingdoms.
Now, they finally showed their effect. More than 5,000 card players were beaten and charged by them several times, and more than 3,000 were killed.
The knights only lost less than two hundred people.
The opponent's fighting skills must not be underestimated.
After all, he is a professional fighter, with more than ten years of combat experience, and the older ones even have thirty or even forty years.
Just one card player after another resurrected from the dead, and the scattered formations regrouped. This is almost impossible for an ordinary army to accomplish.
To be scattered on the battlefield means that you have completely lost your organization and can only flee to the rear and reorganize your formation with the help of the cover of other phalanxes.
Although the knights have long known that this is the power of the devil, their morale is still low.
“Tie them up with nooses and iron nets!”
The leaders of the knights promptly corrected the strategies of their men.
Kill your opponents without letting them exit the battlefield.
The same goes for trapping them.
The knights took off their bags from their horses one after another, and using their skillful riding skills, they each took out their lasso and threw it at the card players.
This is what they learned from the barbarians, but it made these heavily armored knights suffer a lot.
The card players were well prepared for this, and they immediately put on long cloaks and angel wings.
In this way, by expanding your own area, you will not be easily trapped. If you are trapped, as long as your body is shorter, the other party will only be able to trap a bunch of feathers.
The knights circled the phalanx of card players and threw lassoes hundreds of meters long.
This is the advantage of having fighting spirit. If it were a barbarian, he would only be able to use a three to eight meter condom. If it is longer, he will not be able to swing it.
At this moment, stone platforms quickly appeared in the square formation of card players.
On the stone platform, soldiers stood one after another.
“Free sniper!”
Hard and sharp, with its own guide arrow for turning and aiming, it is one of the must-have skills for the disabled D in the Dark Amazon.
Just like that, he shot at the nimble knight.
The card players did not shoot horses, but war horses are too valuable.
One war horse consumes the labor force of three to five families.
The knight could still rely on his fighting spirit to compete at the beginning, but gradually he lost his fighting spirit.
One after another, the knights were shot off their horses and dragged by the horses, like dead dogs.
The knights panicked and began to move away from the phalanx.
The soldiers in the phalanx took turns eating, drinking, and even sleeping.
This made the knights feel even lower in morale.
The opponent has such a good mentality in such a fierce battlefield, which shows that the victory is very sure.
And they can't.
Everyone is very nervous!
“There’s no way to fight like this. We only have one life, how can we kill them?”
"Yes, they don't seem to be demons. Although they killed some nobles, ate some of their chickens, ducks and fish, and took possession of their wives, daughters and maids, what does that have to do with us?"< br>
"We are just knights, and we are landless. We cannot be called lords at all."
The knights were talking one after another.
They began to be merciful, and every time they just shot a few arrows from a distance, threw some nooses, and rode away without caring whether they hit or not.
The changes in the knights were seen by the commanders of both sides.
Marquis Atkins glanced at the big knight commander next to him: "Is it time?"
"The opponent still has too many people, and they are still rotating, which shows that their pressure is not strong enough." The knight commander actually had the idea of giving up.
Because these people behave completely differently from a month ago.
A month ago, a big knight could scare hundreds of card players with traps.
And a month later, thousands of card players were able to defeat more than two thousand knights!
Even the great knight himself did not have the confidence to withstand the siege of dozens of knights. The number of high knights on hand, both openly and disguised as ordinary soldiers, totaled only one hundred and twelve.
This amount should be able to kill all the card players.
However, it is only enough to kill them once. When they are resurrected, the great knights who have exhausted their strength are worse than ordinary soldiers.
Because fighting spirit is not a health-preserving thing, breaking out of it will cause too much damage to the muscles.
"Isn't it going to work?" Marquis Atkins was a little horrified.
But he calmed down quickly.
A qualified commander is one who also considers failure and retreat under the most optimistic circumstances.
He looked around and saw that there was no problem with the planned retreat.
There are no rival boats on the river. As long as you get on your own speedboat and leave behind your armor and weapons, you can quickly escape from here.
As for what to do with the remaining nobles, for the sake of the ransom, they probably won't die.
He was quite calm, but the nobles and nobles watching the battle began to panic.
They did not know that the great knights had plans to participate in the war. What they saw in their eyes was that all the troops on their side, including the most precious knights, were exhausted.
It can be said that there is no loophole in any link.
They used every trick they could think of.
However, the other side used their tactics as soon as possible. Except for a few unlucky ones who were captured in the chaos due to reckless impulsiveness or unskilled skills, most of the enemies were intact.
This is an army of two hundred thousand!
There are only ten thousand people!
If time goes on and the other party organizes 30,000 or 50,000 people, what should we do?
Several nobles near the border of the Kingdom of Lotus began to think of a way out.
If Lancelot wants to be king, let him be.
As long as the other party respects their own interests.
It is not impossible for poor people to turn around.
There are several finance ministers and court earls, all of whom are poor men and have come here to please him.
There are also some aristocratic ladies, who were originally beautiful ladies from poor families. They relied on their scheming and physical constitution to survive and outlast the weak real ladies.
Finding comfort for themselves in this way, the nobles were ready to run away.
The first person to take the lead in escaping was the Marquis himself.
Joke, as a commander, can you run ahead of me?
He took his attendants and galloped to the river bank on horseback, leaving behind his horse's armor. With the help of his attendants, he boarded the fast boat that had been prepared and went all the way back downstream.
The nobles were stunned.
Only then did they know how the other side's record of winning every battle came from.
Just arrange the lost battles on the dead and the prisoners captured by the enemy.
No one believes what either of them said.
Belatedly they began to run away.
This escape triggered a total collapse.
Soldiers all over the mountains and plains fled frantically, exhausted.
They fell, they fell into the trap they had dug, they came to the river and found there were no boats.
Some people were crowded into the river.
Fortunately there was a noise behind me.
“Get down and surrender, you can be a slave, a slave to rats!”
"After working for three years, no, five years, no ten years, you can become a free citizen and go home."
If the other party just said that they would surrender without killing, many people would not believe it.
Everyone has done it to trap prisoners of war.
However, the other party told them their purpose, and it was a very dangerous job that no untouchable was willing to do.
Only homeless people who are about to starve to death and slaves who have no choice will raise rats.
This convinced them.
More and more people are lying down, hands behind their backs.
It is not safe to raise your hands. After all, it is a cold weapon fight. Only by lying down and putting your hands behind your back can the pursuers feel safe.
If you stand up and resist for too long, you will be shot directly to death.
