Lord of the Oasis Chapter 456 - The Collapse of the Mercenary Groups

Chapter 456: The Collapse of the rcenary Groups

Just as the group of noble alliance army were already tired from the day’s march and were relaxing during their rest, their attention was still attracted. The 1,000 elite desert bandits charged at them abruptly!

A surprise attack or a sneak attack were the tactical attack that took advantage of people’s unpreparedness, which was why it was also called an ambush.

And it was a night ambush.

Therefore, when Rolf led the charge, the rcenaries in the tents were still in a daze.

They were on guard, because they knew that more than half of the allies patrolling outside had disappeared. However, when the sudden charge began, they were still stunned for a few seconds. Only when the ground beneath them began to shake did they understand what had happened.

There was large troop of cavalries charging at them!

But so what if they were aware that they were being attacked?

A distance of 300 ters was a distance that heavy cavalries could enter their full charging status.

For light cavalries, they had already entered their charging status and began to run recklessly. They made use of the speed and inertia of their scimitars and spears to transform into the most terrifying killing machine!

And in the eyes of the cavalries, this 300-ter distance was only a few seconds!

“Kill!” Rolf raised his machete high, his face full of malevolence.

The warhorse under him galloped rapidly, taking the lead. It flew directly over the three-ter distance to the pile of tents. The machetes in his hands did not need to be hacked. They were placed parallel to his body. Each and every one of the rcenaries had yet to recover from their shock. As the blade stabbed their bodies, a bone-deep wound was instantly cut open due to the inertia.

However, before all the rcenaries could react to this sudden attack, the desert bandits charged forward like a flood. They followed Rolf and completely rushed into the pile of tents, wantonly hacking and stabbing with scimitars and spears.

The neighing and wailing of horses sounded at the sa ti. The sll of fresh blood and feces and urine filled the air.

The slaughter continued!

In the outermost tent, the rcenaries did not even get up.

Because the extrely fast desert horses had already used their hooves to stomp those unlucky fellows who were still resting on the outermost tent to death. The trampling of the horseshoes of charging horses was no less than the smashing of a heavy hamr!

Moreover, with over a hundred horseshoes crashing down, they were charging with an extrely lethal force.

Even iron could be flattened, not to ntion the human’s flesh.

A pile of at paste oozed out from the tent, but it was trampled by more horseshoes.

Elite desert bandit charged back and forth in the tent, rampaging and charging. The rcenaries who had yet to organize themselves tasted the bitter fruit of the ambush, which was to be slaughtered like lambs!

These rcenaries were not familiar with each other. So even drew their swords at their allies in order to escape.

It was normal for them to kill each other.

They even charged into the main camp of the village!

That was the core of this group of rcenaries.

However, it was all protected by the private army of the noble families. They did not allow these lowly rcenaries to get close at all!

The regular infantryn wearing mail armor and holding long spears. They ford a phalanx of long spears on the streets of the village. The sharp spears did not care whether they were allies or not. As long as soone dared to get close, they would rcilessly stab them.

The faces of the noble families behind them were grim. For their own safety, they would not allow these rcenaries to enter.

This was because the rcenaries were already in chaos.

They had lost their rationality.

They could even draw their swords and kill their own allies just to live for a short while.

If these rcenaries charged into the village and saw that the noble was still looking at all of this, the rcenaries who had gone mad would probably be exasperated and cause an even bigger conflict.

This was definitely sothing that could happen. There had been many tis in history, and the noble understood this very well.

The madness brought by the lower class.

This was especially true during the riots!

rcenaries were not kind people. When there was no lord to hire them, it was common for them to be part-ti bandits. In other words, they were bandits, and there was no separation between the two!

However, the situation beca more and more tense.

The noble could not allow the terrified rcenaries to enter the village.

The rcenaries who were being massacred did not have the courage to fight back. Instead, they were more skilled at killing their allies and fighting for their own chance of survival.

They were killing each other. They even began to form groups of two or three to kill the noble infantryn in the village.

However, their sharp and dense spearheads made no rcenary dare to cause trouble.

However, in just a short ten minutes, at least 800 rcenaries were completely turned into corpses. Nearly 3,000 rcenaries had wounds of varying degrees of severity on their bodies.

A small portion of them were done by the elite desert bandit.

Most of them were caused by themselves by killing each other.

As for Rolf and his light cavalries, they did not suffer much resistance at all.

Other than a few people who were injured by the rcenaries and fought back, almost 99% of the elite desert bandits did not suffer any casualties. After wantonly trampling on the tents of the rcenaries on the outside and turning everything upside down, they chose to retreat.

This was a surprise attack, and the rcenaries were caught unprepared.

It could not be too long.

Because during this period of ti, many rcenaries who found themselves in a dangerous situation began to band together.

After all, most of the rcenaries’ tents weren’t damaged too much. After the initial chaos passed, each of the rcenary captains shouted to organize his subordinates and began to prepare for battle.

This left the elite desert bandit who weren’t good at close combat with no good ideas.

Retreating was the best choice.

Rolf naturally would not hesitate. He was the best commander of the light cavalries.

When the ambush was encountered a difficulty, he directly gave the order to retreat. He led the elite desert bandit soldiers and left in a flash. They disappeared into the vast plains in the night and soon disappeared without a trace.

Not long after they left, the chaos outside the village gradually subsided.

The noble’s regular army regained control of order.

After killing so of the rcenaries who took advantage of the chaos, the noble alliance army regained their calm.

However, everyone understood that this sudden attack had torn apart their seemingly huge advantage in numbers. Due to mutual distrust and greed in everyone’s hearts, this advantage had turned into a huge disadvantage.

If it was the regular army, they would have long gathered together and ford their own formations to defend against the sneak attack.

Although they would also suffer casualties, it would not be this huge.

A 30-thousand-man army were almost crushed by 1,000 cavalries.

It was ridiculous. However, it also proved that most of the noble alliance army was a motley crew!

Of course, this was related to the lack of defense of the noble alliance army, but if it was an elite army, how could they let Rolf’s night attack succeed? Without any excuses or reasons, this was a serious failure, it severely crushed the morale of the allied army right before the attack of Stone Pass.
