Destroyed

Apart from this word, Byron really couldn't think of any words to describe their action.

He made sufficient preparations, imposed a strict curfew in Gelkala, and secretly dispatched cavalrymen with their hooves wrapped in cloth outside the city every night, doing everything possible to operate in a stealthy manner. His spies and messengers have been keeping a distance from the troops of the Rhodoks allied army, collecting intelligence, and then sending a letter to Kenrad, the current commander of the peony mercenaries, at a critical moment.

He avoided the patrolling guards of the coalition forces late at night and buried the letter under a big rock not far from the Peony mercenary camp. Nearby was the cesspit where the troops went to the toilet. The stench was so bad that no one would hang out there. Only after a crow chirped at night, the mercenaries would pretend to have a stomachache to check the situation. In this way, the two sides successfully completed the message transmission. At the same time, Kenrad also found that the coalition forces were becoming more and more vigilant against them. Not only did they move their garrisons to the outside, but they also obviously tended to other mercenary troops when dividing the spoils. Arrange a team of heavily armed soldiers to be stationed on the border of the camps of both sides.

He knew that the coalition forces were going to attack him, so he told his captains about it with embellishment. Soon, the panic began to spread in the camp. From the captain to the sergeant, no one could feel at ease , want to leave here but can't let go of the unpaid reward. And Kenrad also began to secretly meet with the leaders of other mercenary teams at this time. Unlike what the Rhodoks thought, Peony mercenaries were far from being "friendly" to them. There have been too many frictions to count.

But Byron had already considered this in his heart. As an earl and lord, he promised a huge reward in the letter, which was several times more than what Kastor could give. You know, Byron has always had a reputation for being generous in paying money, and his career of capturing Jelkala and winning the king's treasury has long been spread. These mercenary troops are more profit-seeking than the Peony regiment, so when they need When given a choice between a strong and generous employer and an employer who left them in jeopardy and repeatedly defaulted on their pay, they chose the former without hesitation.

So a terrible betrayal was confirmed in this way. In order to keep it secret, the Peony Group dispatched two Assassin assassins accompanying the army to keep an eye on and deal with those big mouths at critical moments. And the higher-ups kept it as secret as possible until Byron's second letter was discovered and when the order to attack was issued, those mercenary officers who were loyal to their team knew what they were going to do. Less than a day left.

So when the peony mercenaries fully knew that they needed to betray their employers whose contracts had not yet expired, the sergeants had already ordered them to put on their gear and prepare for battle.

As for the coalition soldiers who are in charge of guarding them, Kenrad is very good at getting close to them, and will also send his men to secretly deliver wine to them. In addition, the two sides have fought together before and have a good relationship, and many soldiers of the coalition army are already hungry. Bitter water, so when they acted the gang was drinking too much and lying in the tent and sleeping soundly, only two were still on guard. Those two people were knocked out and taken away, and the rest were all captured afterwards. When the other troops of the coalition army reacted, the heavily armed peony mercenaries were already everywhere.

The raid was very successful. Although a series of accidents almost leaked the plan, such as a few officers who said the wrong thing and the Rhodok nobles who almost discovered their treachery, they managed to cut apart the coalition forces and quickly annihilated them. Part of it was destroyed, and the defense was reinforced to wait for support, and other mercenaries also extended a helping hand to them in time.

Every step of the plan was going smoothly, and even Byron's support was not delayed or blocked. The main force of the coalition army was besieging the mercenaries at this time, and they were completely unprepared for the 420 heavy cavalry who suddenly appeared behind them. Completely broke down.

The mercenaries saw the flags of the allies and heard the explosion of the gunpowder pots thrown by the cavalry behind the enemy. Their morale was high and they began to launch a counterattack against the coalition forces. While maintaining the front line, the mercenaries used cavalry troops to attack the opponent's formation regardless of the cost. Soon, more than 20 cavalry soldiers and their horses died under the spears, but the coalition forces also retreated under the plight of the enemy. go back.

Now, it was the turn of the heavy cavalry and knights of Swadia to show their prowess.

More than 400 cavalry charged again. This time the coalition forces had made some preparations, and the phalanx was also lined up. However, this time the heavy cavalry did not use the wall charge, but divided into more than a dozen formations. In the wave-band charge, the cavalry will retreat immediately after knocking down the enemy with a spear. After a charge, only a few people were shot off their horses by crossbow arrows, and the phalanx of the coalition forces was already out of shape and began to collapse.

This situation was beyond Byron's imagination. He didn't expect that Kestor's troops after the civil war had only this level left. So he once again personally led the team to launch the last charge. The cavalry was like a wall, and the Taolei was like rain. Before the cavalry arrived, the sparks and fragments dispersed the Rhodok soldiers who were about to resist. Obviously, despite this poor gunpowder weapon The damage done to enemies protected by shields and chain mail was in the single digits, but the human fear of fire and loud noise still terrified the soldiers and broke their lines.

A large number of heavy cavalry, especially those Swadian heavy cavalry in horse harness, rushed into their ranks immediately. The tall horses were rampaging among the crowd, and the riders on the horses were wielding half-handed swords and maces. The soldiers of the Rhodocan allied army fell like reaping wheat.

The militiamen in the crowd had never experienced this at all. They had experienced **** siege battles with the king's army, but they had never seen how shocking it was when such a large number of cavalry charged. They only saw tall armored war horses carrying fully armored cavalry rushing towards them with weapons brandishing. Trembling, trying to get as close to each other as possible, but when the cavalrymen kept getting closer until they could see the details of the arms on their burqas, their thoughts were all about running away and preventing themselves from doing so.

So, for the first time, they felt what it was like to be hit by this thousand-pound steel and flesh at high speed. The crowd was scattered, and the number of people who fell to the ground was countless. More people were trampled to death than killed by weapons. The hammer opens a scoop for every enemy that passes by. In a short while, the massacre of the heavy cavalry suppressed all the resistance of the coalition army, and all the remaining troops of the coalition army fled in panic. escaped under escort.

Byron did not continue to pursue Kestor~lightnovelpub.net~ He knew very well that after this failure, they had no foundation and they couldn't make much trouble. They just kept breaking up the Allied troops, or talking about the prisoners, or driving them in different directions. The soldiers of the coalition army didn't realize that they still had the upper hand until now, but they were disrupted by this series of backstabs and surprise attacks, and their morale was exhausted. After dropping hundreds of corpses, they collapsed, even if they collapsed At that time, there were still thousands of troops.

"Leave 100 people to take care of the prisoners, don't rush to clean up the battlefield!" After Shengli and the mercenaries joined forces, Byron shouted his latest order as he watched the retreating coalition forces retreat.

"We don't have much time to rest, eat something, wipe the blood, pack up, and do everything you want to do, otherwise don't complain that we left you on the road. We will set off in a while and go to Derka La, go and surprise Graves!"

It was suspected that the rush of reinforcements would take several days to arrive, but it seemed to me that one day was enough.
