Chapter 14: The Fierce Battle
The auxiliary level is an adult who has undergone simple military training, and has different names in different places, militia, local garrison, village and town guard, and recruit.
Such a person is not taken seriously by the knight at all, and it is very easy for a regular knight to defeat a small group of local guards under the cover of his subordinate knights.
This is another level that cannot be ignored at all, because seventy percent of the forces on the continent of Ashane are made up of them.
Hu subordinate level, because of the knight Hu so named, regular knight Hu subordinate, basically six or seven years old will follow a regular knight to learn a variety of combat skills and non-combat skills (weapons and armor maintenance, raising war horses, swordsmanship, riding, etc.), the two are close to the master and apprentice, far away is the squire.
People of this level are the most mixed, and those with excellent levels may catch up with regular knights, but they lack hard indicators of physical fitness, but it is not surprising that some veterans with unique combat skills and rich combat experience can defeat some young regular knights, and Sean is in this category.
And then there are those who are of average level, that is, a little stronger than the auxiliary level, but such people are in the minority, because the chance of going to the battlefield at the subordinate level is much more than that of the auxiliary soldiers, and there is a well-known opinion on the continent of Ascharn that "war is supported by knights and knights".
Those who are indiscriminate will either make themselves grow quickly, or they will have long since become weed fertilizer.
The Bastille marksman, the condor of the Andes mountain people and the giant bear hunter, this is just an established custom title, and the strength positioning is very vague, there are both subordinate and knight levels, and it is difficult to accurately locate and divide.
After all, there is no similar impartial institution in this world to conduct systematic tests for them, especially the Andes mountain people, but one thing is certain, even if it is the top level, there will definitely be no mixed phenomenon.
When it was determined that it was a big knight, Sean had no way to do anything else, and he didn't dare to do anything else, the opponent's short-distance charge was three points faster than the galloping horse, and once he was close, the other party only needed a sword to solve himself.
The remaining twelve heavy arrows all fell on the great knight's body - smashing was just an adjective, not that all the heavy arrows were fired at the great knight, and that would have little effect on delaying, and the opponent could easily rush through this level of arrow rain.
The target of the twelve heavy arrows is all on Bartley, and all of them are back hands, the big knight does not move, Sean's arrow will never come out, the big knight moves, whether it is attacking Sean or others, Sean's heavy arrow arrives, and the big knight has to return to the defense.
There is only one possibility for a person who has at least the status of a lord of real power to appear here, and that is to act as the personal guard of a high-ranking nobleman, and there is no doubt that Bartley is the one that the other party needs to guard.
There was nothing Sean could do, but the foreshadowing had worked—the four heavy arrows that were fired at the Andis mountain people who were carrying the sliding rod.
Can be selected from many Andes mountain people to carry the sliding rod, whether it is the figure or skills will not be too bad, such an Andis mountain people whether at home, or in the village, is the existence of the pillars, must be a hunter who will not be too bad, thick and heavy arrows into their hands, it is a murder weapon.
This proves it.
The four Andis mountain dwellers who received the heavy arrows all broke out above average combat effectiveness.
The first victim was the ghost slave Heber who had just been rewarded, and the sharp arrow cut his throat, although he was not dead for a while, clutching his neck and coughing like a toad, but in this world, a cut in the major artery is no different from a death sentence.
Heber used his life to prove once again one thing, that ghost slaves are more hated than slave hunters.
Then there were three slave hunters, a marksman, and an Andis hillman who had created an opportunity to kill the marksman with his own life.
The remaining three Andis mountain dwellers increased their combat effectiveness instead of decreasing, as they all changed to a more handy weapon.
In particular, there was another one who got the bow of a marksman, during which the great knight tried to kill them three times and twice, but was forced back by Sean.
Although these mountain people didn't know a single word, the goblins and goblins that had been honed in the mountains and wilderness were all far away from the great knight.
After seizing the weapon, he did not rush to kill the enemy, but assisted everywhere, giving priority to helping his own people break free from the shackles and seize more weapons.
It's slow to say, but everything is going on in sync, and Sean used up a whole pot of heavy arrows in no more than eighty seconds.
In this short eighty seconds, both on the mountain beam and on the mountain road, an unimaginable tragic battle broke out.
Andes mountain people sang a high-pitched and loud war song, for freedom, for their compatriots, fearless generosity to die, even if there is no way to take an enemy to die before death, they will use their own flesh and blood to firmly drag each other and create opportunities for their companions.
Teeth, stones, dead branches, even the ropes that held them together became their weapons to kill their enemies.
In just eighty seconds, they were completely filled with blood and death, and the slave hunters were less than one-third of their hands and feet, which was no longer a simple sentence to describe as heavy casualties, they had previously broken through six Andis mountain villages in a row, and only seventeen soldiers had been killed or wounded.
If a legion has a casualty rate of five percent and still maintains an intact formation, the legion is considered a qualified reserve legion;
If the casualty rate exceeds 10 percent and the morale is still high, then it is considered a regular army;
If the casualty rate exceeds 20 percent, and it still does not collapse, it is not an exaggeration to call this legion an elite;
If the casualty rate exceeds 30% and they still fight bravely, then this legion is definitely an ace legion with its own beliefs;
If the casualty rate exceeds 40% and is still fighting to the death, there is only one possibility, this legion has fallen into a life-and-death siege and has to fight.
This is the division of the elite degree of the legion by a famous general on the Ashane continent, although there is a great deal of conjecture and idealization in it, but everyone still agrees with this data, because Ashan's war examples over the past few hundred years have not deviated too much from this data.
This data seems simple, but in fact it contains a lot of questions, including thinking about the collective will and the individual will, most of the time, the collective will affect the individual will, but in extreme cases, the individual will feed back to the collective will, thus affecting the whole.
The hunters weren't even aces, they weren't even legions, they were a mixed bag, regular knights from the Manyurd army, the Bastille defenders, and hired slave hunters.
Once you fall into a bitter battle, especially the close-range stalemate in front of you, the drawbacks will be completely exposed.
There is no unified command, no tacit cooperation, after being defeated, they can't unite, the knights can't find their own subordinates, and they can't find their own knights, and they fight separately.
Surrounded by vicious enemies and filled with the deathly screams of their companions, even the strong-willed knights were on the verge of collapse, not to mention the servants and slave hunters.
After finding an opportunity, the first thing many people think of is not to fight back, but to flee in embarrassment, and the consequence of doing so is often to die faster.
The slave hunting teams hired by Benson with money, because the distribution of the guarding mountain people team is relatively crowded, and their captain is nearby, so although their combat effectiveness is the lowest, the casualties are the least, after the initial riot, with the captain's strong force and appeal, they gathered their team.
The selfish nature of these slave hunting squads was undoubtedly exposed at this time, and their first thought was not to expand the results of the battle, but to preserve their strength and begin to withdraw from the battle, intentionally or unintentionally.
The Bastille marksmen were almost completely wiped out - it was not that the Andes mountain people had discussed it in advance, but that the mountain people were best at archery, and in the event of a riot, they would naturally give priority to grabbing the weapons they were good at, and the marksman's melee ability was not satisfactory, so it was natural to have such a result.
The best performers were the men brought by Bartley, especially the regular knights, who, after an initial discomfort, quickly showed the reason why they were called the Pillars of War on the continent of Ashan.
Strong physique, clean killing skills and firm will make them a rock, stick to the place, unshakable, and for each fight, the Andes mountain people must pay nearly ten lives.
The only good news is that the number of regular knights is too small and the distribution is too scattered to form a deadly threat.
Compared with the slave hunters, the losses of the Andis mountain people were heavier, and less than half of the people who could still stand were left, but such heavy casualties not only did not make them disperse, but made their fighting spirit even higher.
Not only because they weren't prepared to survive before the attack, but also because many of the people lying on the ground were their loved ones, and if they had escaped, they wouldn't have survived.
And from the timid eyes of the other party, they saw a glimmer of victory, and for this glimmer of light, they did not hesitate to risk their lives.
Sean is not as optimistic as those Andes mountain people, because he also has a fierce beast in human skin, once he loses his containment, the other party can completely turn the situation around on his own, and the desperate tactics of the Andes mountain people are a joke in front of the other party.
Just now he saw with his own eyes that an Andis mountain citizen who wanted to create an opportunity for him was split in half, and there was no way to even get close, so there was only one way to deal with this kind of person who was too disparity in force.
Covered by a rain of arrows, a large area covered by a rain of arrows, it is clear that the Andis mountain people do not have this condition now.
Now Sean is running out of arrows.
"The pot is empty, run. Sean shouted violently, dragged the longbow, turned around and left, without any hesitation, as for the idea of rushing out and fighting with the other party, it never appeared in his mind from beginning to end, the difference in strength is too big, aside from archery, even if it is to use magic, there is no chance to fight hard.
