Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

Chapter 589: The Knights Who Surrender to Rats

"No, no, no, Shengli Castle has been attacked!"

Just after the initial explosion, it didn't take long for the Han army's marine battalion to rush into the count's castle.

In response, the knights and several standing regiments responsible for reconnaissance and vigilance at all times couldn't help but move. However, without orders, they could only wait quietly.

The Knights is an order of knights formed by the earl to be loyal to him and his family. There are 300 knights and 500 knight attendants.

The so-called standing regiment is actually an army formed by the Tatar count's private soldiers in the name of the empire. According to the empire's military system, a regiment has 2000 people, an army has 6000 people, and a legion has 2 people.

The Earl of Tartar deployed a total of six garrison regiments within fifty miles around the Shengli Castle, totaling 1 people.

If you add the 5000 guards in the Shengli Castle, then he has deployed almost [-] troops to protect himself.

It can be said that the Tatar Earl has taken his own safety very seriously.

Similarly, the Knights not only have to bear the responsibility of guarding and supporting news, but also bear the responsibility of quickly delivering orders.

But not long after, the scouts sent out quickly brought news that the Shengli Castle had been attacked, and it was estimated that no orders could be issued now.

The Knights are not far from Shengli Castle. The straight-line distance is only ten miles, so they can be mobilized quickly.

At the same time, the Knights can also defend Shengli Castle and ensure the safety of Shengli Castle, because no one can defeat Shengli Castle in a short time.

Even if it is breached, the castle's internal structure and armored guards are enough to defend it until the arrival of the Knights.

And this is why the Tatar Count does not put the army into the castle. It is not only a small problem of the manor, but also training, guarding, reconnaissance, rapid support and other issues.

But no one expected that the Han Army's Marine Battalion and Guards would fight in such a showy manner that a mere two thousand men would dare to go deep alone and attack a well-defended castle.

Not only that, no one would have thought that there was such a thing as gunpowder in the world, and they were caught off guard for a moment, causing such a seemingly solid fortress to collapse in an instant.

Of course, the knights of the knights did not know that the castle of Shengli had been captured and the counts were captured at this time, so after receiving the enemy attack order from the scouts, the head of the knights immediately gave the order.

"Everyone wear armor, mount their horses, and provide quick support."

"Quickly, issue an order to other standing regiments to impose martial law quickly."

At the order, the knights and knights' attendants mounted their horses one after another and galloped towards the Shengli Castle.

At this time, the Han Army's Marine Battalion had already retreated, and had already discarded the heavier items on the road that could not be taken away.

One is retreating quickly, and the other is not very clear about the specific situation. Even if he quickly advances to support, it is relative, and he really can't go very fast.

In addition, it was night, so the marching speed of the knights would be further reduced.

So when the knights arrived not far from the Shengli Castle, they immediately became vigilant when they saw the darkness in front of them and no enemies at all.

"Send someone to find out what's going on?"

Soon, several knight attendants rode out on horseback and ran around the table holding torches high. At the same time, scouts also rushed out of the team.

Soon, the knight's attendant came back first to report.

"Captain, we didn't find any enemies or any ambush!!"

There is actually no need for the knight's attendant to report. Since the knights have rushed over, they can naturally see clearly where the knight's attendant passed by.

They sent out knight squires, essentially risking their lives to see if the enemy had any ambush in store.

So after confirming that there is no ambush, we can rest assured and wait for the information from the scouts.

At the same time, the scouts went out in all directions, quickly cleared the surrounding area, and then arrived in front of the Shengli Castle.

"It's not right!"

Looking at the dark castle without any light, a scout whispered:

"Of course it's wrong, otherwise the higher ups still need us to investigate?"

"Quickly, enter the manor and check the situation to see if the enemy is ambushing you!"

The scouts chatted in low voices and soon climbed over the wall and arrived at the manor.

"This... what is this?"

As soon as I entered the manor, I accidentally tripped over something and was a little surprised.

"How could a large dry porcelain vase be lost here?"

But after a while they weren't surprised, because as they kept digging inside, they found more items.

"No, no, these are all things in Shengli Castle. Something happened in the castle, retreat quickly!"

After discussion, the scouts immediately chose to retreat after discovering that there were no enemies in the manor. As for whether there were enemies in the castle, they no longer cared.

If there are enemies in the castle, then they have surrounded the place and the enemies cannot escape.

If the people in the castle are their own, then they don't dare to approach them at will, otherwise they will be unlucky if they are killed unjustly.

But, none of them considered whether there would be anyone else in the castle.

The living kind...

The retreating scouts will report at this time, and the leader of the Knights immediately orders all torches to be raised and quickly approaches the Holy Castle.

After passing the gate of the manor, everyone was shocked because there were several corpses beside the gate of the manor, all of them were guards protecting the count.

Entering again, I found that the open space of the manor was littered with household items, from cabinets to boxes, from porcelain to stones, everything was there, as well as quilts and mattresses.

"Gudong!"

Even though he was riding a horse, the sound of horse hooves could not cover up the sound of someone swallowing saliva.

"This...this...what happened?"

Someone asked with a trembling voice, obviously they had a bad premonition.

"Quick, go to the castle!"

A group of knights rode their horses to the castle, but they did not hear any movement in the castle, nor did they see any light shining in the castle.

When they came to the gate of the castle and looked at the mess on the ground, everyone had more bad premonitions.

"The door is broken and no one has responded yet, is it possible???"

Some people wanted to express their judgment, but they still did not say it because if the speculation was true, things would change in the southeast.

"Stop moving forward, no one is allowed in, and wait for daybreak."

At this time, as knights, they did not dare to enter the castle at will. After all, if a knight is separated from his horse, is he still a knight?

Although they are all wearing heavy armor, who knows what is going on inside the castle in the dark. Fighting in the dark is extremely terrifying for any army. If there is a small defeat, it may become a huge one. rout.

Now, they can only wait patiently, hoping that the earl can hide, and they hope that the people in the castle are their own.

Just looking at the blood stains in their mouths and the many items outside, their expectations were just to comfort themselves!

"Sir, we found a lot of silver coins on the road outside the manor!!"

At this time, a scout reported the situation, and the leader of the knights immediately ordered some people to guard the manor, and then led some people to quickly run to the place where the coins were found.

"Money...money...lots of money!"

Under the light of the torch, the silver coins spilled from the overturned box shone brightly, and the sight of such a large number made people drool.

Of course, because he came as a knight, although he was not rich, he was not too bad. Although he swallowed the silver coins on the ground, there was no robbery incident, but he became more vigilant.

However, someone soon moved forward to continue the investigation.

"Silver coins...silver coins...still silver coins!"

As soon as these words came out, the leader of the knights led a group of knights and walked forward quickly. Under the light of the torch, they found scattered silver coins on the ground.

Of course, there’s silverware and more.

Not only that, they also found traces of the army's march, and there must have been a lot of them.

If this is the case, if there are silver coins scattered on the ground, it cannot be said to be a trap. After all, if the standing army infantry comes, no, even the knights and attendants, some people cannot stand the temptation of money.

"Everyone retreats, stays inside and outside the manor, and is alert to the surroundings. No action is allowed without orders."

Having said this, the leader of the Knights could not help but gritted his teeth, "We will wait until dawn for everything!!"
