CHAPTER XXIS: The Storm of Versailles IX
"Is he a serf, just like me? Jim, those old men don't use the name. Jim, the aristocratic private soldier, thought to himself, "Are those people still human? Attack the little girls, if it were me, I would have slaughtered them...... Probably put ......"
"Haha, you are alone, dare to attack us first? Come, the archers will wait first. The private soldier who killed the little girl first turned around and confessed to an archer behind him, and then he threw the little girl on the spear directly with both hands...... This damn world!
The archer was a little flustered in comparison, because he had thrown his bow on the ground before, and he had to pick it up from the ground first, so it was slow, and when he drew his bow and arrows, the soldiers had already run to a distance of less than a few paces from them, which made his panic even more obvious to Jim, who was more than twenty paces away from him.
It is conceivable that the arrows fired in this way must have no accuracy, and can ordinary arrows really be useful to the fine armor of the national soldiers? Jim thought, only a heavy crossbow can break his defenses, of course, except for the case where the archers have taken shit luck and shot in places where the national soldiers have no armor to protect them.
Then, Jim turned his head to see the performance of the national soldiers, and was extremely surprised, worthy of the Ranger of the Versailles Fortress, Jim had only heard of the name of the Ranger before, and today he really saw the Ranger on the spot, and this is just a soldier as a backup!
I saw that the national soldier didn't pay attention to the threat of the archer at all, and directly made the last acceleration in the run, and when he was about to reach the pile of people a few steps away, his right foot was forward, his left leg was pressed down, his body leaned back, and he slid over!
Then he raised his shield diagonally in his left hand to block the attack of the spears and short swords handed by the pile, which in Jim's opinion was really handed. And after the man blocked, he held a single knife horizontally in his right hand and drew a half-arc forward, and three or four of the people in the pile immediately fell to the ground with a knife in the lower half of the body and screamed!
The national soldier did not stop, took advantage of the resistance to stop sliding, stood up, and immediately turned around and raised his knife, and directly cut off the ugly head of the guy who killed the little girl! This national soldier actually remembered the location of that person during the battle! When the national soldier rushed into the middle of the crowd, the guy who killed the little girl happened to be behind him!
After the national soldiers cut the guy who killed the little girl, they didn't do much, but just bent their legs and did a squat, which just happened to avoid the horizontal slash of the two private soldiers. After that, he put his shield up in front of the half-squatting body, and with a fierce force under his feet, he got up again and used the shield as a baffle, and struck several people on the left, and the force even knocked out the nose of one of them with blood! After the collision, the national soldier turned left again, just to reach the side of the two men who had just slashed him! When the strength of the two men grew old and they were about to withdraw their hands, they were slashed diagonally left and right diagonally by the national soldiers, and lost their lives.
At this point, there were ten people in the pile, and now three were dead and six fell to the ground, and the last one standing was the archer. And the archer was even more panicked than before at this time, and even forgot to escape, and when he wanted to draw his bow and draw arrows, he was taken off the head by the national soldiers. Then, the national soldier first ran to the middle of the three people who were knocked down, and killed them one by one, even if the three of them also attacked or blocked with weapons, but the attack only left a mark on the armor of the national soldier, and the person who did the blocking was cut off with his weapon.
"Big brother, spare your life, big brother!" "It's the little girl that guy killed, it's not me!" "Don't come here! Don't come here!" The three voices were the last three people left in the pile, their lower bodies had been stabbed and they couldn't get up, they begged while crawling with their hands to get away from the national soldier.
"Did the civilians and children who died at your hands beg for mercy like you did before they died?" Jim was already stunned, a bunch of ten people worked hard for a while, almost all gone, Jim listened to the question of the national soldier in a daze, completely forgetting that he and the three who fell to the ground were in the same camp. And the other aristocratic private soldiers around him, like Jim, seemed to be watching blankly at this time.
"You beasts!" the soldier caught up with a private soldier crawling on the ground, and with a roar of rage, he swung his knife with one hand, and another ugly life ended.
"Go to the funeral!" In the end, the two noble private soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, crawled together in a panic, and the soldiers of the country roared again and killed them.
"Click...... The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Jim saw his own troops of the Rangers (light cavalry), who were slowly walking towards this direction with their horses under control, and the target was the national soldier.
The national soldier did not pay attention to the sound of the horse's hooves, and walked silently to the place where the little girl was lying with his head bowed. Even though the sound of the horse's hooves began to grow faster, he did not even raise his head, and knelt beside the little girl's corpse.
"Daughter, I shouldn't have put you here, why did you die like this, didn't you say okay, Dad will take you to the imperial capital to watch a magic show......" The last words of the national soldier with a cry were finally drowned out by the sound of horses' hooves......
Jim noticed that the night seemed to be getting deeper. He suddenly remembered a word he had heard earlier at a nobleman's banquet, the game of war...... Jim didn't feel it, his right hand had been released, and the long, somewhat blunt spear had fallen to the ground without making a sound......
"Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes" Suddenly a commotion came from the north of Versailles, and many of the nobles around Jim who were in a daze heard it, and began to talk to each other, presumably asking what was going on in the north.
"The soldiers of Versailles have run again! The soldiers of Versailles have run again!" At this time, a soldier on horseback shouted loudly and shook his whip in mid-air, and the cheers came all the way over.
Once again, Jim couldn't understand why such a powerful national soldier could run away all the way against our aristocratic private soldiers? It seems that the game of war, as a serf, is incomprehensible and cannot be played by himself.
A big house by the wall of the north gate of the fortress of Versailles, brightly lit, most of the officers of the Versailles garrison are standing neatly in the middle of the house, they are facing the rostrum without saying a word, and on the rostrum, the holy envoy and the commander of the fortress are discussing something, no, looking at their appearance, it is more like the holy envoy explaining something to the commander, and the commander just keeps nodding.
When the commander of the fortress took a step back, the officers in the audience also straightened up, and it was obvious that the Holy Envoy had finished explaining the matter, and it was definitely time to announce important news or orders.
"Imperial Order!" As soon as the holy envoy spoke, he directly entered the topic, and the expressions of the officers in the audience suddenly became extremely solemn, and their bodies became even more erect.
"Ahem, I think everyone should relax, the emperor doesn't mean anything else, just ask everyone to go to the Warcraft Forest for a while, and when the time comes, there will be great military merits for everyone." Since it's a military secret, that's all I have to say. "The Holy Envoy still speaks so casually, it makes people feel very friendly.
The officers under the rostrum, after listening to the announcement of the holy envoy, their faces did not change much, it seems that they have all heard the rumors of "retreat" before, and they have all guessed the destination of "retreat", and those who can become officers will be a little wise, or there will be smart subordinates.
"In fact, the rumors of the 'retreat' after dark were released by me, and everyone should have a plan in their hearts by now. After speaking, the holy envoy looked at the reactions of the officers under the stands, and then continued: "I don't force everyone, those who are willing to follow me and General Patton to the Warcraft Forest stay where they are, and those who don't want to, go to the gate on my left to wait for a while, there is also a task to stay in the fortress, but I won't let you go, let you go." The envoy's final joke caused the officers in the audience to laugh, and at the same time relaxed the somewhat tense atmosphere.
"Lord Holy Envoy, as long as you don't go to the Warcraft Forest, even if you arrange a task for me, I will go even if I go up the knife mountain and down the oil pot!" In a relaxed environment, it is easy for people to choose what they want in their hearts. Immediately after the envoy's joke, a captain of the infantry detachment with five big and three thick feet walked out of the array, and he joked with the envoy as he walked towards the small door to the left of the envoy. With the leader, the people behind were not much of a burden, and a few more team leaders and two sub-captains came out of the queue and walked towards the small gate.
"Is there anyone else?" The Holy Envoy waited for a while, and after finding that no one was out of the queue again, he joked again: "Okay, this is the end of the opportunity to choose, and I will arrange for them to go to the knife mountain and the oil pot later." ”
The Holy Envoy's words once again caused the audience to burst into laughter, but the Holy Envoy did not see that in a corner of the officer queue, the captain of the first detachment of the ranger was desperately pulled by the leader of the first group of his detachment, and the team leader was determined not to let the detachment leader go out of the small door, until the Holy Envoy said that the opportunity to choose was over, the team leader could not step out of the queue, so he had to slant a hard glance at the team leader and give up.
"Okay, let's get your General Patton (the name plus the title or title is used on weekdays, and the surname plus the title is generally used on regular occasions.) Let's continue to arrange for you, I'm old, and I feel tired from standing like this for a while, okay, you can talk. As he spoke, the envoy walked away with his hands behind his back, waving his hand to everyone before leaving......
