"Stop them! Don't let them pass!"

"What happened to this group of mercenaries? Hurry up and report to His Majesty, those **** from the Peony Group have rebelled!"

The camp of the Rhodoks coalition army was in chaos, and the soldiers were caught off guard by the sudden betrayal. The soldiers in the camp on one side of the coalition army panicked and piled up roadblocks, moving in to resist horses and messing up their camp. He ran around like a headless chicken, and gave a small part of his camp to the mercenaries of the Peony regiment for nothing.

Under Kenrad's command, more than 400 peony mercenaries surrounded the troops abandoned by the coalition forces in various tents and corners. In terms of quantity, there are more soldiers in the coalition camp than the mercenaries. In terms of quality, the large number of Rhodok crossbowmen and spearmen, as well as the skilled spearmen and veterans mixed in, are generally stronger than the mercenaries. Not as good as the opponent but not too much. But this time the betrayal was too sudden, and the coalition forces gradually relaxed their vigilance against these mercenaries due to the long-term cooperation in the previous battle. Sworn allegiance to himself after death.

When the heavily armed peony mercenaries rushed into the tents of nearby coalition soldiers with swords and shields, except for a few soldiers who took up their weapons and crossbows, the rest of the Rhodoks were only wearing soft armor or armed underwear. Lin, with only a short knife or dagger on his body, they were slaughtered by the mercenaries in the camp without any accident, and their number was cut in half in less than ten minutes.

The remaining barely armed remnants were either sticking to the corner in groups of three or four, or trying to break out of the encirclement and gather together to try to advance to the other side of the camp. A mercenary cavalry, mercenary cavalry and a small number of Swadian heavy cavalry, armed with a lance or a half sword, charged towards the organized Rhodoks.

The horse's iron hooves easily destroyed the tent blocking the way and tore apart the opponent's weak line of defense. A large number of cavalry gathered together was unstoppable, and the Rhodok infantry and crossbowmen who did not form a pike phalanx could not stop their advance at all. Before they even had time to make their first attack, they were knocked to the ground by the horses, and then I don't know how many horses trampled past them until they died. Even if they were lucky enough to escape the first round of impact, the lances and sharp blades were already ready to pierce into their bodies, cut off their muscles and puncture their internal organs, quickly ending the battle.

And until this time, Kestor's envoy was still trying to negotiate with the other party. After all, the order given to him by the king was to recruit those mercenaries, not to eliminate them, so he could only bite the bullet and execute the order, and prevent friendly troops from supporting operations .

All this was until the unlucky messenger was blown from the back of the head by a crossbow arrow that flew from nowhere, and the large forces of the coalition forces pushed away the horses, formed formations, put on armor and took up weapons, and began to fight against those who had already slaughtered confronted the hateful traitor who had cost the lives of hundreds of their compatriots.

According to what the commanders of the coalition forces thought, the peony mercenaries would be surrounded by their superior numbers and gradually wiped out until they were forced to surrender. Even if the opponent was very good at fighting, the gap between the two sides was too big, even if they killed part of the troops. .

But the crossbow arrows and javelins flying from behind and from the side of their bodies completely shattered their illusions. At this time, the coalition lords really realized the crux of the problem. It was not just the sudden backstab of the Peony regiment, but A shameless sneak attack that most of the mercenary troops have already colluded with.

In order to prevent this situation, they placed different mercenary units in different positions of the camp, but they didn't know that some of these cunning mercenaries had their own ways to communicate with each other, and before they signed the contract, the mercenary units There is already friendship between them. Earl von Byron only needed a little seduction and a lot of dinars in cash, and they would turn around and stab their "former employer" with their swords without hesitation.

The crossbowmen of the Wild Boars fired a salvo from behind them, while the cavalry of Sarande kept throwing javelins from their flanks. The mercenaries in the north did not move but refused to fight at this time. The other scattered mercenaries The soldiers also stood on the side of the traitors at this critical moment. The troops that had just been organized by the coalition immediately returned to chaos, and the soldiers couldn't even figure out where their enemies were for a moment, so that several mercenary teams who chose to be loyal to them were defeated by them in a daze.

Kestor's roar echoed in the camp, but no matter how loud and fierce his voice was, it was useless. The mercenaries didn't care how unhappy he was. to how many dinars. So they kept changing positions in the camp, broke up the formation of the Rhodok phalanx, and then cut it by relying on the advantage of the cavalry, bit by bit eating up this army that was much larger than them.

Kestor was completely angry. He personally assembled the main force and his own guards. They put almost all the troops into the counter-insurgency, and quickly achieved results. Relying on the rain of crossbow arrows and the layout and gradually showing a tendency to encircle, the mercenaries were gradually compressed into an area that was very suitable for the Rhodoks to attack. In order to completely suppress these mercenaries, the coalition troops even took out the imitation dragon fire prepared for the king's army. They used clay pots filled with dragon fire to throw them like Byron's army did. UU reading www. uukanshu.com Flames, thunderous noises, and black smoke in the air constitute an invisible wall that can shock the opponent's morale, compressing those mercenaries who dare not step forward to the center of their own troops, completely crushed surrounded.

At this moment, the mercenaries also panicked. They tried to break out of the encirclement, but it was too late, and the encirclement circle had already been formed. Even the cavalry troops of the Peony Regiment had to face great risks to fight out.

Fortunately, unlike Kestor's unreliable allies, the backers of the Peony Group always show up on time as promised.

Dust rose from the ground far away from the camp, and the peony flag was flying high in the air. Under the dense long pole-shaped shadows, countless heavy cavalry were galloping towards them.

The soldiers of the coalition army were completely dumbfounded, while the offensive of the mercenaries suddenly became fierce. Most of the soldiers were caught in the battle and could not get out, and some of them were confused about what to do because of the confusion. Only a small Some soldiers were able to pull out the front in the rear and raised their spears to try to resist the cavalry.

But even Kestor knew after seeing the size of the opponent that they had already lost this battle.
