Chapter 21: The Elk War
Two years later. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
One day in June.
The entrance to the castle of the Grand Collar, the training ground, the weapons storehouse.
A group of ragged farmers lined up to receive the weapons that had been handed to them.
There were many weapons in the storehouse, including rusty maces, broken short iron swords, short axes with missing horns, and pointed wooden shields that had been eaten by insects......
The largest number of spears were spears made of birch rods with a small iron head on the top.
"Hey, here's your weapon. ”
A knight squire bent a spear with the shaft bent to the back of a shrimp and handed it to Zhou Ming.
Taking the spear, Zhou Ming shook his head, lowered his waist and said, "Honorable lord, this spear is too curved, can you give me a straight one?"
"Go pick it yourself, you farmers won't be of much use anyway. The knight squire said lazily, there were hundreds of spears in this weapon warehouse, and he didn't bother to help Zhou Ming pick them.
Zhou Ming thanked him and walked into the weapons warehouse, ready to choose a very good one among the dazzling array of weapons.
Swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows, axes, shields, javelins, spears, and eighteen kinds of weapons, all of them.
But......
None of the weapons in this warehouse, which was used to collect all kinds of scrapped and broken weapons, were good or working - except for the hundreds of spears with a little iron head.
After choosing, Zhou Ming finally chose a spear that was still straight and strong, and a broken short sword - he was going to go back and polish it and make it into a small dagger.
After all, it was the first time to go to the battlefield, and Zhou Ming didn't want to leave his sister Alice alone in this dangerous world.
He had to be prepared.
The reason for the outbreak of this war is very simple: when Baron Connor was hunting in the forest west of the territory, he accidentally found a herd of elk, and when he was about to hunt this group of elk with his knights, Baron Garcia, who was in the western part of the country, also led a group of men, crossed the border in a grand manner, and snatched several fat elk in front of Baron Connor.
"Baron Garcia, you damned thief! Either return the elk that stole me ten times as much, or we have a fight at the border, and my knights and I must open the head of you old thief!"
After this letter of request for war was sent, he quickly received a reply from the other party: he was willing to accompany him
"Let's go!"
In front of the castle, after a brief inspection of the "army", which consisted of 11 knights and 200 farmers, Baron Connor asked the knights of the guard to raise a black banner painted with a rose, and marched in the direction of Baron Garcia's territory in the west at the appointed time.
On the march, Zhou Ming couldn't help but feel a little nervous, Baron Garcia also had more than a dozen knights in his hands, if these knights rushed towards him, then he would be finished.
Although I have never given up training in the past few years, this is the first time I have fought with real guns.
"Little guy, don't be nervous, I've already fought with the lord hundreds of times, you just need to fight twice and you won't be afraid...... Let me tell you, as long as you don't stand in the front and don't rush the fastest, you can go home alive. ”
In the crowd, a gray-haired obscene old man showed half of his black and yellow teeth and said to Zhou Ming.
"Old Joey, you're teaching rookies your escape experience again?"
"Ryan, don't listen to coward Joey, this old guy runs away without a trace every time he fights, and among those of us who fight, he is the best at running away. ”
"Ryan, wait next to Uncle I, don't run around, don't be afraid, this kind of battle usually won't happen, it's much easier than fighting those thieves. The kind-hearted Uncle O'Neill pulled Zhou Ming to his side and said.
"Thank you, Uncle O'Neill. ”
Zhou Ming nodded, but his attention was always on the obscene old man nicknamed "Coward Joey".
Perhaps sensing Zhou Ming's gaze, Old Joy turned his head and smiled at him, revealing half of his rotten front teeth.
After walking twenty miles, when he was resting halfway, Zhou Ming's buttocks quietly moved and sat next to Old Joey, who was lying on a slope, looking lazy and dozing off.
His elbow touched him lightly, and Zhou Ming lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Old Joey, can you teach me two tricks?" ”
Old Joey's eyes opened a thin slit, and a fine light inadvertently burst out from the crack in his eyes, and he yawned a long way and said: "Little guy, look at your body, you have been practicing for six or seven years, your body is practicing well, as long as you usually practice kung fu and play one-tenth of it, you can go back alive." ”
What the?
Zhou Ming's face was full of horror, and a wave of horror stirred up in his heart.
How did old Joey see that?
He usually practiced secretly at night, trying not to make a sound, and the neighbors next to him didn't know that this old Joey ......
"But, little one, you have this ability, don't think about playing up against those knights, seeing the knights coming, how far you run, you are not their opponent yet. ”
Old Joey's tired words came again.
Zhou Ming turned his head to see that the other party had already tilted his neck, closed his eyes, and snored quietly.
This is the real actor.
……
Territory borders.
A grassy field overgrown with bushes and open terrain.
The two "armies," both numbering around 200 people, were separated by more than 200 meters and were in a battle formation.
"Rush!"
"Kill!"
With an order, the two armies that had been gathering momentum for a long time collided fiercely after a short sprint.
Zhou Ming, who followed Uncle O'Neill into the battlefield, found out that this so-called war was just farmers on both sides holding wooden sticks, spears, pitchforks and other weapons, fighting each other frantically on a thin line.
There is no neat and orderly discipline, no indomitable murderous spirit, only a cry of fear and excitement.
As long as you take a slight blocking stance and dodge the tip of the spear in front of you, it won't be a big deal.
At this moment, there was a slight tremor on the ground, and the cavalry behind them heard the sound of killing.
"Oh no, the knight is rushing over!"
"Run, run!"
"Ryan, throw your weapons away, and run with me across the woods!"
"Help, I've been caught up by the knight, who's going to save me...... Ahh
After the two cavalry teams charged, the entangled peasants quickly threw away their weapons and scattered into the woods beside them.
With the exception of a few unlucky guys who were caught up by the knight for running slowly, the casualty rate on both sides was close to zero.
The victory or defeat of this battle was decided by the knights of both sides through one-on-one heads-up, and Baron Connan finally won the victory with a score of 6:4, and received 200 gold coins from Baron Garcia......
