Chapter 0241: On the Quest
At three o'clock in the morning, the mighty cavalry drove to the gate of Aoba Town, the horses' hooves wrapped in cotton cloth, and the voice was very soft, and the sleeping townspeople did not notice the arrival of these uninvited guests.
The guards on duty had already been quietly knocked out by the vindictive warriors, and the Chesterton family must be willing to ransom them back at a high price.
Then the gates of the town were quietly opened, and the cavalry immediately swarmed in.
Thousands of the town's residents were woken up from their slumber, dragged out of their homes and escorted to the town's central square.
Henry stood on the high platform and shouted, "Residents of Aoba Town, we are the Black Cavalry of the Earls of Meredith, and we are here today because the greedy Chesterton family has seized our convoy, and we have no ill will ...... you."
"Therefore, as long as you stay at home honestly these days, and don't run out to make trouble, we will not embarrass you, if you have any opinions, you can come to the town square and talk to me, now you can go home. ”
With that, the cavalry moved out of the way and signaled for everyone to go home and take refuge.
Suddenly, the crowd was turbulent, and in just ten minutes, people ran clean.
Cliver then ordered: "The Black Cavalry follow me, our battlefield is not here." ”
The knights were silent and rode out of town.
When all the cavalry had retreated, Henry ordered: "Seal the city gates, no one but our men will be allowed to enter, the third squadron of infantry will guard the east city, the fourth squadron will guard the south city, the fifth squadron will guard the west city, and the sixth squadron will guard the north city." ”
Then he called the four squadron leaders to his side: "You each have two squads to maintain law and order, in case someone takes the opportunity to cause trouble, and if you find it, you will deal with it yourself." ”
This is a very standard of words, what is called self-handling, that is, you want to kill and chop whatever you want, anyway, there is a top to carry around.
His arrangement is very sufficient, because after everyone went home, there were hooligans and ruffians who immediately had bad intentions, isn't this a good time to rob houses and houses, anyway, you can rely on these big soldiers for the sins.
So there were a lot of rats on the street, and petty theft could no longer satisfy them, and some people even openly rushed into the house to rob, and when they saw a beautiful woman, they had to move their hands and feet: "Don't call it! Lao Tzu is a member of the Black Cavalry, and if you dare to scream, ......you will be killed."
Before he could finish speaking, two sharp arrows pierced the robber's throat and chest, and he looked incredulous, and then slowly collapsed to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, two heavily armed soldiers walked in from outside, pulled out the robber's arrows and thrust them into the quiver, dragged the corpse out, and closed the door when he was done.
The same thing happened in many places, and in just a few hours, the ruffians and hooligans in Aoba Town were cleaned up, and as long as they were found to be doing bad things, they were all sent to see Hades, the Sleeper.
After all, this is the war time of the two nobles, so you don't want to stay out and join in the fun.
The next morning, the three-sword flag, which symbolizes the Chesterton family, is replaced, and the golden rice ear flag, which symbolizes the Meredith family, is raised.
Baron Jensen, who was released, rushed to Chesterton City to report the news, and the next battle was to depend on the other party's intentions.
At noon, Viscount Sinclair, the head of the Chesterton family, received the news, and was furious, throwing pots and pans all over the ground: "It's just a waste, it took less than two hours for people to fully occupy Aoba Town, are all your subordinates stupid pigs?"
Baron Jensen was trembling, he didn't know how to argue for himself, the other party had indeed captured Aoba Town without much effort, and he dared to swear that he had never seen a cavalry regiment with such strength.
At the same time, the baron also felt that he was very wronged, after all, this time it was his cousin who was not authentic, because of greed, he detained other people's transport teams, robbed other people's goods, and it was normal for someone to knock on the door, but he let himself carry this black cauldron.
However, Viscount Sinclair didn't feel that he was at fault, the fault was all with the other party, and the fault was that they were too rich.
This is the idea of a shameless person, with a big brain.
The viscount frowned and thought for a long time, and finally came up with a good plan against the enemy: "How many are he coming?"
Baron Jensen thought for a moment and said, "About six or seven hundred. ”
Six or seven hundred?Viscount Sinclair suddenly showed a grim smile.
As Heidi expected, after knowing that the Earl of Meredith was empty, the viscount immediately led six hundred elite soldiers straight to the city of plenty.
His idea is very simple, since you have done your best to take my Aoba Town, then I simply don't want it, go directly to your main city to loot, or simply burn it down.
Viscount Sinclair is insidious and vicious enough, but Lei Ye is obviously even more ruthless than him.
Renard sent only a small force of cavalry to deal with the main force halfway, and the large cavalry force was all slaughtered in Chesterton.
Of course, Lei Ye couldn't do anything to kill people and prevent fire, he just ordered someone to rob the vault and villa belonging to the Chesterton family and burn them down, and then rescued the seized transport personnel and got back his own goods.
Viscount Sinclair walked halfway to suddenly receive a report from Kuaima, and suddenly became angry, and hurriedly led the troops back, and then ran into the black cavalry who turned back, and the two sides did not have any nonsense, and directly started fighting.
However, Cliffor is not a fool, how can he fight hard with your infantry, and directly take long-range shooting, and hit the other party is crying dad and mother.
In the end, more than 200 of the 600 "elite soldiers" were killed, more than 300 were captured, and only a few dozen cavalry were left to cover Viscount Sinclair's embarrassment and escape back to Chesterton.
And only dozens of people on the side of the City of Abundance were slightly injured, who let Lei Ye have the system as a plug-in, as long as his head was not cut off on the spot, basically two holy light techniques would be cured.
After the defeat, Viscount Sinclair recuperated for most of the month.
During this time, news of the meredith family and the Chesterton family had spread throughout the Southern Wilderness, and even His Majesty the King knew about it.
Then Leander's own uncle Leander came and read the king's will, which basically means: You must be calm, restrained, and fight with culture and not with force.
So both sides expressed their gratitude to His Majesty the King for his concern, and we are conducting friendly consultations.
After Leander left, Lei Ye still occupied Aoba Town, but there were no longer restrictions on entry and exit, the townspeople still lived, and with the end of the purge a few days ago, the town was very safe, and people even hoped that this army could live here permanently.
And Viscount Sinclair is also sharpening his knives, he doesn't know what price to hire a few mercenary groups to work for him, more than 800 mercenaries plus thousands of farmers, mightily towards Aoba Town.
This time, he learned to be a traitor, and knew that he had no way to take the city of plenty, so he thought about annihilating the main force of this infantry and exhaled his evil anger fiercely.
