Lord of Rot

Chapter 224 Javelin Burst

Corpse birds circled the sky.

Li Qi keenly noticed that the castle gate of Pebble Castle opened, and a group of black armored cavalry rushed out on horseback.

The other party obviously also had the ability to monitor. He was noticed as soon as he got close to a certain distance, which once again made Li Qi sure that the other party also had extraordinary people.

"Phillip and the others are in trouble."

Wouldn't sneaking into the castle become an open and aboveboard break-in?

What was waiting for them was not Miss Agnes, but an ambush.

But Li Qi had no time to care about Philip and others, he wanted to organize a team to fight.

More than fifty black cavalrymen, riding on war horses.

The uneven terrain and sunken roads in the river bend area were not suitable for black cavalry charges.

Li Qi didn't understand why the people in the castle chose to send out cavalry.

On flat ground, the opponent can indeed overwhelm its own team, and then wander away and cannibalize its own soldiers. However, in the river bend area, it may not be difficult for the cavalry to rush in, but what awaits the cavalry is encirclement and killing.

"Do they only have cavalry?"

Observing the moment when the black cavalry rushed out of the castle, Li Qi shouted: "Infantry raises shields and prepares to attack! All knights gather behind!"

This is just a simple square formation. The most important thing is to occupy the river. You must not let the cavalry charge from the flanks, otherwise your few people will only be eaten away.

As long as the front can stop the cavalry charge, they can launch a counterattack.

The knights in the rear will also act as pursuers after successfully blocking the cavalry.

It's a pity that the equipment is insufficient, so Li Qi can only use human flesh as a weapon. Maybe... in the eyes of the nobles, cheap militia is more useful than a horse.

The soldiers followed orders but had no idea what was happening ahead.

Under the orders of their respective knight masters, the mercenaries raised their shields and the militiamen raised their pitchforks. However, hearing the thunder, the black cavalry broke through the rocks and rushed towards them under the cold moonlight.

Thousands of people facing dozens of people felt as if they were facing a torrential flood, with an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.

Hundreds of crossbowmen fired arrows, and the arrows fell on the black cavalry and hit the armor. It had no impact. Instead, it hurt the soft-armored horse, allowing the black cavalry to increase its speed again.

The equipment of this group of people is too poor!

Kuaibian bit his whistle: "Dudu——!"

The porcupine soldiers heard the whistle and acted quickly.

The team of a hundred people was divided into two rows, holding shields and guns.

One advantage of the river bend area is that the road is not too wide, so you don't have to worry about being attacked by cavalry with their superb mobility, because this is a linear river, which saves the effort of defense on the left and right.

The downside is that they can only resist the charge.

In an instant, the two sides collided.

The black cavalry rushed into the formation instantly, and their spears pierced a militiaman in an instant.

"Ah!!" The militiamen struggled to hang on to their guns and were pushed by the black cavalry, knocking over several people in a row.

It was like a high-speed car rushing into the sidewalk, and no one could stop it.

Some militiamen also tried to use pitchforks to stab the horses, but were knocked away by the horsemen with the pitchforks. After being thrown up, they were hit hard on the ground. Their lives and deaths were unknown.

More than fifty cavalrymen easily took a bite of the weakly defended defense line of militiamen and mercenaries.

The quality of the enemy and ourselves is not at the same level at all, and it is easy to be caught in the breach. Once the front line is torn, the remaining black cavalry will be like wolves among sheep.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of people had fallen.

The Black Cavalry was not fond of fighting, and turned around and left after achieving victory.

The river can accommodate twenty horses charging side by side. Although it is inconvenient to wander around and harass, they cannot stop the cavalry if they want to leave.

Li Qi had a bad expression: "They are trying to treat me like a potato, peeling me layer by layer."

Each charge would only peel off a layer of skin, kill dozens of people, then turn around and leave. Repeatedly, within a few charges, Li Qi would suffer heavy casualties, and the remaining people could easily be completely eaten up by a single charge.

The corpse bird hovered in the sky, allowing Li Qi to overlook the entire battle situation from a bird's perspective.

Pebble Castle did not only release black cavalry, but hundreds of infantrymen also rushed out. They would arrive in a short time. The infantrymen were wearing light armor and were well-equipped.

You can observe battles remotely, and so can your enemies.

Without the advantage of vision, the next battle will be difficult to fight. The only good news is that the other side really does not seem to have many soldiers, and our own side has the numerical advantage.

In an instant, the second charge of the black cavalry arrived.

The noble knights who had been bitten before and suffered heavy casualties were furious. Now that part of the front was filled by Cavendish's soldiers.

And the black cavalry seemed to have discovered the huge gap between the enemy and ourselves, and the target of charging again chose Li Qi's side.

The soldiers in the first row squatted down with their shields raised, while the soldiers in the second row stood up and raised their shields.

The long spear was inserted obliquely on the ground, protruding from the gap in the shield.

A very simple turtle shell anti-cavalry formation.

Rumble!

The iron hooves came and collided in an instant, and the spear pierced through the first approaching horse in an instant. The soldier hiding behind the shield raised his spear, and the falling black cavalry couldn't control it. He watched helplessly as he hit the spear.

Pfft!

One skewer.

With the first human cushion, only three cavalry were killed in the follow-up, and the remaining charging cavalry almost broke through the line.

The porcupine soldiers gritted their teeth and resisted, almost being scattered several times. After retreating countless times, they finally gritted their teeth and stopped, and they were able to wave their weapons and bite back.

The black cavalry turned their horses again and prepared to swim away, but this time it was different from the first charge. The first time they were able to slow down and turn around and leave, but this time they hit the porcupine shield heavily. The horses were frightened and their speed was greatly reduced. .

Li Qi shouted: "Charge with me!"

The noble knight who was already red-eyed followed Li Qi and rushed out on his horse.

Grabbed a javelin from behind.

Li Qi didn't even need to aim, he just threw with all his strength.

There was a bang, a sound that broke through the air.

The javelin instantly penetrated the back of a cavalryman, knocking him off his horse.

The noble knights following Li Qi were startled. It may not be unusual to throw javelins with bare hands to break armor, but to directly blow people away, this power is too powerful, and why can it be so accurate!

Li Qi grabbed another javelin. His master-level throwing and extraordinary strength made the javelin he threw like a ballista, and it was so accurate that it was outrageous.

boom!

The javelin seemed to have eyes. In the dark night, it accurately hit a black cavalryman again and took him away from his horse.

Li Qi grabbed a javelin. Every time he threw it, he would definitely hit. Even if he couldn't kill, he would be seriously injured and his combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

After killing four people in a row, a black cavalryman could not bear the entanglement of Li Qi and others. He had no choice but to leave a few people to turn their horses to face the enemy. The remaining people continued to evacuate and prepare to launch a new round of charge.

As long as they can be stopped and the remaining black cavalry are ready to charge, Li Qi and others will surely die.

Facing the black cavalry who took the initiative to stay and block the road, Li Qi drew his sword and charged forward.

But Li Qi is not only good at javelin shooting, his ability to fight on horseback is not inferior at all.

With extraordinary strength, he swept away the Black Cavalry's head with one sword.

Another black cavalryman sneak attacked Li Qi, but there was a clang sound and the sword was blocked by the keel plate armor.

Li Qi just shook his body slightly, then stretched out his armored hand to grab the sword, snatched the sword away with a flick of his hand, thrust the sword into the helmet with his backhand, cut off the black cavalry's faceplate, and stabbed his head.

Blood spattered and dyed Li Qi's keel plate armor red.

The corpse fell to the ground weakly, and the horse ran away screaming in fright.

Although the noble knights who followed had no fighting experience on the battlefield, they must have had a lot of training on weekdays. When the enemy retreated and we pursued them, they actually killed three people. One of the noble knights was unlucky and was cut off from his horse. , fell to the ground, the danger was gone.

Two others were killed on the spot.

Three for three.

A total of thirteen black cavalry were killed in this pursuit, which was a great success. The number of cavalry was now less than thirty.
