Chapter 69 Bloody Hot Springs Pass 5
It was a private of the Noyd garrison regiment, and he was kicked out of the bed by the commander early this morning, and their training volume in this week can catch up with the training volume of the previous half year, everyone complained, but no one dared to say it, because the garrison regiment had changed masters. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The new head of the regiment is wearing a black dog skin, and the first thing the new regiment leader is to arrest a large number of people when he arrives in the regiment, as long as he has a little relationship with the old regiment leader, he will be locked up in a small black room to enjoy special treatment for three days, few of these people have come back, and no one knows where they went, so everyone said that these people have been disposed of, as for how to deal with it, everyone knows, but no one says.
But today the sun came out of the west, and the morning training was canceled, and there was no need to get up at 5 o'clock in the morning, and everyone slept until 8 o'clock before being coaxed up by the commander on duty.
All the platoons lined up in the small square in front of the regimental headquarters, received weapons and armor in turn, and the platoon that received weapons went out of the camp gate under the leadership of the platoon commander, and no one knew where they went.
It wasn't until two hours later, when they saw the small pass of Nord Ridge in the distance, that they suddenly stopped, because some people said that they were blocked by a pack of wolves, but they continued on after half an hour.
They did not go up to the small pass, and the place 5 kilometers from the small pass was their destination, but two platoons overtook them and continued forward, while they turned to the right and went down the roadbed, and went about 2 kilometers in the field where the spears were all over the place, and the platoon commander ordered to build a bunker in place, requiring that there was no figure visible from the side of the road.
They didn't finish their work until 12 noon, and then they sat down on the bunker to eat, and everyone was guessing what they were going to do today, and even the next row of people said that these bunkers were dug to bury themselves, which caused a little panic, and then some gendarmes dug another pit next to the bunker and buried the rumor.
As soon as Ben finished eating, their squad leader found him and took him aside, and the squad leader said to him, "Ben, you are one of the best soldiers I have ever trained, do a good job today, we will send 300 bandits down here." The squad leader pointed to the ground with his finger, and said: "Your private's brand has been with you for five years, it's over today, change to a sergeant's brand, rest assured, it's no problem, I have already reported you, after today, you will be the squad leader of the fifth class." ”
Ben looked at the squad leader in surprise for a long time before he said, "What about you?"
"Don't worry, I've already applied to the regimental commander, and I'm going to join the Earlguard. The squad leader smiled and said, "The next time I see you, I'm going to call you sir." ”
"How so?"
"I heard that when you join the Guards, you have to start as a private, and the next time I carry the private's sign, won't I call you a sergeant when I see you?"
Ben returned to the bunker in a daze, and a few familiar companions came over to ask what was going on, and he said what the squad leader told him again, and several companions were also shocked, but immediately said: "Ben congratulations, you finally got through." ”
"That's right, Ben, with your combat skills and training results, you should have been promoted to non-commissioned officer a long time ago, if you didn't know how to make sycophants, you would have gone in the morning. ”
"That's it, that's it, we're going to do it in the hands of you, squad leader, take care of it more!"
“......”
Ben didn't know what he should say, he just wondered, why did the squad leader go to the Earl Guard, to say that there is something new in this unit, that is, it is the noble guard in the first Guards sequence, it was established less than a month, and now there are only officers and no soldiers, and the rest, I can't think of it.
Ben knew that the Earl Guard would also participate in this battle, but in his cognition, this unit would only shrink back and do planning work, and it had nothing to do with them to go into battle to kill the enemy.
The fifth squad was gossiping, and the squad leader led a few people over, and those people were carrying a few strong crossbows, who knew them, they were all sharpshooters in the platoon, and he looked at the squad leader suspiciously.
The squad leader said to everyone in the fifth class: "Brothers, because we had excellent training results some time ago, especially the training results of crossbow arrows, we have nothing to say, so our class acted as crossbow archers this time, and the platoon concentrated several other classes of sharpshooters to our class, so this time we have a total of 15 crossbow archers, everyone comes to receive crossbow arrows, this time we must do a good job, kill a few more bandits, and everyone's rewards are indispensable after this battle!"
He knew that the squad leader had come down from the cavalry unit, and he had offended people in the field unit and was pushed out to the garrison regiment, which had a cavalry squad in the garrison regiment, but the squad leader had been squeezed out here for a few days, and he had not seen him laugh in the past few years.
"Ben, don't be stunned, take your weapon, and change into heavy armor, we will be on the front line in a while, and the protection must be done. With that, he slapped a strong crossbow into Ben's arms.
"Ah, got it. Ben took the crossbow, immediately put on his hoplite armor, fastened the frame of the crossbow machine to the rack on his left arm, then turned the crossbow machine upside down and fixed it on his right arm, then looked left and right to find the position of the quartermaster in the platoon, and walked towards the quartermaster with steady steps.
More than a dozen other crossbow archers also came over one after another, but everyone looked at him with an inexplicable gaze, he didn't understand why everyone looked at him like this for a while, the squad leader came up from behind, knocked his helmet, and then shook his hand in pain, Ben was even more strange, he asked: "Squad leader, what are you hitting me for?"
"What are you doing beating you? Don't you look at you like this? I don't know what time the fight will start, you put on your armor now, will you start fighting in a while, let us carry you forward?" The squad leader wanted to give him another look, but thinking about the hands that were still hurting, forget it.
"Oh......" Ben looked around, and finally knew why they looked at him so strangely, these guys were all wearing shirts, only he was wearing heavy armor. Ben put the mask together.,This TM can't see people.。
Ben followed the squad leader to the quartermaster, and the quartermaster looked past the squad leader and looked at Ben, and said to the squad leader, "This is your squad, why are you so nervous before the battle?" Then he saw the rank on Ben's armor, and then said as if he knew the truth: "Ah! It turned out to be a private, I see, little guy, recruit, there is always such a time, and next time I won't be nervous." ”
Ben was very depressed, he was also a five-year veteran, but he didn't know how to shoot horses, and he never went up again when he reached the rank of second-class soldier, and he wanted to push the mask up to cool down, but he didn't dare to do it now.
The squad leader is the penultimate leader to lead the arrows, he, like the archers, received three boxes of arrows, and when he arrives, he can only receive two boxes of arrows as standard for crossbow archers, but think about the recent assessment, he is only 5 rings less than the standard of the archers, so he is also required to receive three boxes of arrows.
The quartermaster glanced at the squad leader and said, "Fifth squad leader, is this soldier of yours good? Three boxes of arrows are a bit much." ”
"Give it to him, his assessment is only 5 rings less than those Eagle Eyes, no problem. When the squad leader saw that Ben still refused to push his face armor up, he knew that he was thin-skinned and embarrassed to show his face.
"Ha~ Kid is good, take it, wait to see your face!" The quartermaster gave Ben three boxes of arrows.
He took the arrow without raising his head, turned around and walked back to his cover, and the quartermaster laughed behind and said: "Ha, the face is quite thin, the fifth squad leader seems to have you suffered, protect yourself on the battlefield, maybe you will become an archer in a fight." ”
"Haha, yes, yes!" the squad leader walked back with a haha.
Ben snapped a box of arrows into the card slot on his left leg, and then stuck a box of arrows into the card slot on the front of his right leg, and the last box into the card slot on the side of his right leg.
Ben removed the crossbow machine from the right arm armor, and kept pulling the crossbow machine to familiarize himself with the performance of the crossbow machine as soon as possible, which is a life guarantee for a while, who knows where the crossbow machine will not be stuck for a while.
The squad leader came back, he gathered everyone together and said: "I will personally command the sharpshooters in a while, Ben, you are now the deputy squad leader, the brothers in the squad are under your command, everyone is one on the battlefield, don't be alone, whoever is alone dies quickly, do you hear it?"
Except for the few archers, everyone replied loudly, and the archers looked at the book and then at the squad leader very strangely, and didn't understand why they gave the command task to this nervous guy.
However, I didn't see any opinions from the other soldiers, so they naturally didn't care, after all, after today, they still had to go back to their respective shifts, and they didn't think that these bandits could do anything to them.
Ten minutes after two o'clock, a convoy passed under the cover of a group of soldiers in tattered armor, and the squad leader glanced at the small mountain pass, where there was an observation post, and now with the help of the sun, the observation post was signaling to all the troops to prepare.
The class leader shouted, "All ready!"
Everyone keeps their weapons in the most comfortable place and their armor in a place where they can easily wear it. Another hour passed, and the observation post sent another signal.
The squad leader shouted softly: "All armor!"
The sound of a clashing of nail leaves sounded, and after a few moments, everything was calm again.
A little past 4 o'clock, the sound of horses' hooves sounded rapidly, and a large group of bandits on horseback galloped past, and only two seconds later, about 200 more bandits rushed over breathlessly.
However, those people quickly stopped, because there were more than 50 heavy cavalry standing in front of them, and to be honest, they didn't know how these cavalry were hiding, and they didn't even find out where they were hiding.
