Chapter 563: Savage Village
In such a situation, if the two sides fought, Mance did not dare to imagine such a one-sided massacre, and he thought to himself that the first order he would give was to retreat immediately, and never fight these soldiers. And this is indeed the right choice.
This gap can't be compared, just like most savages are accurate in archery, but your arrows are useless at all when they shoot at other people's full set of armor, even the neck is protected by iron pipe soft armor, and if you use a crossbow, you may shoot through, but don't think about ordinary longbows.
Knock Knock Knock –
The army approached with neat steps, Li Lingyi got off his horse, the soldiers next to him took the horse rope in his hand, and the personal guards walked with him to the savages.
"First meeting, Chief Mance. Li Lingyi approached the man standing at the front and said, "I'm Ivy Crane." ”
"Haha, you can see it at a glance. Mance laughed twice, "You are really powerful to defeat so many big families!"
Snow on the side was a little speechless when he heard this, yesterday he remembered that Mance had mocked that these old families were all rubbish, and they became really fast enough.
"But it's big enough. Mance glanced at the army behind him, and said with a smile: "I knew that Lord Crane had brought so many people, so what else to talk about, how dare we disagree." ”
"Mance Chief......" Snow frowned slightly, he naturally heard the unkindness in these words, and wanted to say something but was stopped by Li Lingyi stretching out his hand, "Mance Chief, please rest assured." "These are used against terrible strangers and ghouls." As for what I promised in the previous letter, I promise that I will redeem all of them in the future. ”
"Hahaha!
Mance originally said that on purpose, wanting to see Li Lingyi's strength, if the latter was dissatisfied and angry because of a cynical remark, then he must be a person with a narrow bearing, and if this kind of person really defeats the strange ghost in the future, he will definitely not bypass the savage.
But now, judging from Li Lingyi's generosity, Mance can be regarded as relieved, and his good impression of him has increased greatly, and he really begins to believe that he really wants to unite the savages, not just want to take advantage of it, and then kick it away after it is worthless, and turn his face and deny people.
"Then follow me back to the village to talk about it first. Mance said, glancing at the army behind him, and whispered, "Lord Crane, we villagers are very afraid of such heavily armed soldiers, and I beg you to restrain them." ”
"You can rest assured. Li Lingyi immediately said, "I guarantee that none of my people will disturb you, and if there is, I will immediately deal with it by military law." ”
"Okay, I'll rest assured, then let's go!"
The group followed Mance to his village, which was not very large, but there was a large square in the center, so the soldiers were stationed here for the time being.
Although the villagers had been told that there would be an army coming, they did not expect that there would be so many people, and all of them were wearing armor, which was very scary, so that many savage children were so frightened that they hurriedly ran home, and secretly looked at these soldiers through the crack in the door.
As for the men, they were very nervous, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, and the green tendons all over their bodies were about to burst out. They understood that if the soldiers really wanted to do it, they would not be able to use half an hour, and the whole village would be slaughtered.
However, as Li Lingyi said, none of these soldiers talked to the locals, but just whispered to each other and gathered together, without showing the slightest murderous intent.
This can be regarded as a long-term cultivated advantage of the flagless army, Li Lingyi has always paid close attention to the discipline of the army, as long as there is a black sheep, no matter what his position is, he will immediately leave the army. After months of such high intensity, the soldiers naturally developed a habit of not harassing civilians.
And the leader of the savages, Mance, also saw it, and he didn't say anything, but he was very satisfied in his heart, and he trusted Li Lingyi a lot more. After all, the discipline of the army can also reflect the character of the monarch from the side.
For example, the old Frey before, the old thing was lustful and greedy, despicable and sinister, so his soldiers were the same, so they would create such a thing as a bloody wedding together. Otherwise, if the soldiers of other families were replaced, I am afraid that many chivalrous people would not agree to this vicious plan at all.
Another example is the Iron Islands group, where soldiers also play the role of pirates, which is also inseparable from the attributes of their lords. So now that Mance sees these soldiers being so disciplined, he naturally thinks that Li Lingyi is trustworthy.
A few people entered the big tent and talked directly about the strange ghosts.
"These things have been coming south all this time, and have killed hundreds of our people so far. "That kind of thing can't be killed with a sword, and it can turn our dead brother into a new ghoul, so we have to escape, there's nothing we can do about it." ”
"Ordinary swords don't work against them. Li Lingyi said, "You can only use dragon spar weapons, or flames to deal with them." ”
"Dragon spar weapon?" Mance was stunned for a moment, and Li Lingyi pulled out the dagger from his waist and handed it to him.
Brush ——!
Mance looked at it and nodded, "That's a good thing, if my men had enough of these weapons, maybe they wouldn't have been wiped out at that time." ”
"Don't worry about this chief. At this point, Snow spoke, "We have brought enough dragon spar weapons to distribute to your people. ”
"Really?" said Mance, delighted, "That's good." ”
"Please tell me more about what you know. Li Lingyi said, "We must strive for a quick solution, and the food problem of tens of thousands of troops should not be underestimated, and it must not be delayed for too long." ”
"I understand. Mance nodded, took out a map, and as soon as it unfolded, Snow let out an exclamation.
Obviously, this map is more than ten times stronger than the one owned by the Night's Watch in terms of accuracy and breadth, and almost every stream, hillside, depression, etc., within a radius of hundreds of miles, is recorded in detail, so that people can understand the area at a glance.
"Huh. Seeing Snow's surprised look, Mance smiled slightly: "Boy, this is something that the wildlings have made little by little over hundreds of years, and you are the first night watchman to see this map!"
"It's really ......"
Snow didn't know what to say, the strategic value of this map was too crucial, even more precious than the lives of most wildlings. But Li Lingyi didn't bother to say, and a pair of eyes quickly scanned the map. It can be said that if he was given a few minutes, he would be able to memorize the entire map.
Of course, Mance must have imagined this, if he knew that Li Lingyi had such a perverted memory, would he still take out this map so straightforwardly, but it is not necessarily.
