Chapter 146: Revenge of the Curve
Hurry up and open the gate for me, and if we let us storm it ourselves, we will definitely cut down all of your bastards, and not a single one of them will be left. The bandit with a mace-headed club at Redogan's side yelled at the four or five manor guards on the circular inner bunker of Lane Manor.
The manor-like guard, who looked like a small leader, cowered and stuck his head out of the battlement wall at the top of the round fort to look at the second leader of the bandits downstairs, and exclaimed, "Aren't you a guest from the mountains a few days ago?" You don't know me anymore? I've poured you wine. ”
The leader of the guard recognized the bandit who was shouting and hurried to make friends with him.
The second leader of the bandits glanced at Redogan, who nodded.
"Man, since you know me, then open the door quickly, and I promise to spare your life in a while, if you are willing to join our team, money and materials will be indispensable to yours." The second leader replied in a loud voice towards the top of the round castle.
"Master, no, the housekeeper didn't come back, we didn't dare to open the castle door to welcome you brothers~"
Redogan was a little impatient, and shouted: "You don't have to wait for your fat butler, I have already sent him to God to repent, and if you want to live, hurry up and open the door." ”
There was silence at the top of the round castle for a moment, and Redogan thought that the manor guards were about to give up resistance and go downstairs to open the door and surrender, but he didn't want to shoot a crossbow arrow from behind the battlement wall, almost hitting Redogan, who was standing in front of the fort gate.
Redogan took half a step back, hid his body behind a shield-wielding minion, and shouted in a loud order: "Guys, lift the heavy log, smash open the fort door for me, and kill no one behind!! ”
Under the cover of several shields, several bandits carried a huge wooden beam "forcibly requisitioned" from the farmer's house in the manor, braving the arrows and falling logs from the round fort, desperately hitting the gate of the round fort.
There is a reason why the guards of the manor dare to resist desperately, the gate of the circular inner fort of this manor is indeed very strong, seven or eight bandits lifted the heavy log and hit it for more than half an hour, and did not see the castle gate shaken in the slightest, but the bandit minions under Redogan were shot down and injured several times.
Seeing that the losses of his subordinates were not small, Lei Dogan was a little distressed and ordered to stop the attack.
Lei Duoan thought for a while, pointed to a few henchmen and bandits around him, and said: "You guys, go and arrest the farmers in the manor for me, let them carry heavy logs and bang the door for me, and you will show me with knives and axes around the perimeter and force them to give it to me." ”
"Great Chief, you really have a way. I'll do it right away. ”
As he spoke, the second leader led the bandits to the farmer's house in the manor......
An hour later, in the circular inner fort in the center of Ryan Manor, the second leader of the bandits dragged the dying manor guards into the round fort with a few bandits, and then went up the stone ladder to the second floor to find the bandit leader, and stepped forward to ask: "Big leader, those bastards injured our five brothers when they broke the door just now, are they all cut down now, and none of them are left?" ”
The bandit leader held a silver dinner plate and looked at a small square window for a long time, then turned to the second leader and asked, "Did you torture something?" After asking, they were all slaughtered. ”
"One of the manor guards has been killed, and the rest of the people have told that there is indeed only this bit of money and goods left in the Lane Manor, and there is no other place to hide the property in the manor, but a lot of grain has been seized, and two carriages have been filled."
Redogan threw the silver plate back into the small wooden box on the table, grabbed a handful of small silver and large copper coins in the box, and scolded, "They can't just make so much money if they hack so many pedestrians. TMD, we're late, and the valuable stuff must have just been taken away by that old bastard of Bazel. ”
"Great Chief, why don't we go to the farmer's house on the manor and search again?"
Redogan turned around and reprimanded the second leader, "Can you use your brains, those poor sticks have been squeezed dry by these mongrels in the manor, what can you scavenge?" We are not ordinary bandits now, how can we loot the broken dishes and rotten pots of those untouchable houses all day long? To rob is to rob those squires and rich households. ”
The second leader nodded repeatedly, "Then let's just forget it?" ”
"That's it? You use your brain! Can't we just loot this bunker again? Tell the men to take me everything that is a little more valuable, that is easy to take away, that the families of the mountains need, and that the six ox carts and donkey carts are filled for me, along with the cattle and cattle and the tools and iron tools of the farm. ”
The second leader asked, "What are we going to do with the oxen and the iron tools of the farm?" We don't have a place to grow food in the mountains. ”
"It's useless for us to take it, but it's useful for the people in the south, and this time we got less than three thousand pfennigs, what do you take for the people behind you in a while?"
The second leader had an epiphany, reflexively ran downstairs to stop the bandits from looting the farms, and then led everyone to empty the inside and outside of the round fort......
Before it gets dark, dozens of bandits in Ryan's manor have slaughtered a fat pig to eat and drink, and several ox carts and donkey carts in the manor are already full, everything is ready, just waiting for the bandit leader to give an order to return with a full load.
A bandit minion took out a piece of minced meat stuck between his teeth with his hand, threw it into his mouth, chewed it twice, swallowed it, and asked the little leader beside him, "Brother Rig, why hasn't the big leader ordered to retreat, and if you wait, the army in the county should come over." ”
The little leader glanced up at the bandit leader Lei Doan who was looking forward to the south on the tower of the Round Castle, and shouted to the little minions: "If you wait for you, you can wait with peace of mind, and the leaders have their own arrangements." ”
The little minion didn't say anything more, patting his round belly and waiting patiently.
On the tower of the round castle in the center of the manor, the bandit leader Redogan stared at the south.
The second leader beside him was already waiting a little impatiently, and said, "Great leader, why haven't they arrived yet, if the surrounding lords bring troops to the rescue, we won't be able to escape." ”
Redogan did not return to the words of the second leader, and asked, "Have all the selected elite serfs been dealt with?" ”
"I first had the food distributed among them, and when they had eaten our food, I announced that they had joined us in front of the remaining serfs, and then said that I would tie them up and take them back to the mountains, so that they would become bandits, and the people from the south would be able to take them away with all their might."
"Okay, that's good."
After another moment, an army of more than a dozen wagons and dozens of soldiers finally appeared in the south.
"Here, quick, let the guys pack up their supplies and retreat to the southwest." Redogan commanded the second leader.
A mile southwest of Lane Manor, a chase between a black-robed army and a mountain bandit raged violently.
The black-robed army sent more than 30 soldiers to chase and kill the bandits who were "about to collapse at the touch of a button" to the south for nearly five miles, until the bandits left behind the 17 or 8 new "bandits" who had not yet had time to obtain weapons, and abandoned a large number of ploughing oxen, mules, horses, farm tools, iron tools, cloth and other goods, and then fled into the hills and dense forests with three donkey carts......
"Sergeant Major, the bandits have all run away, leaving behind a bunch of unarmed minions, all of whom have been caught."
"After suppressing so many bandits, it's the first time I've seen such a minion like this, and after using a minion hall without weapons, he also left so many oxen, wagons and farm tools and supplies......" The chase was over, and the inexplicable third squadron leader Tuba came to Angus's side with an expression of disbelief.
Angus smiled at the bandits who had disappeared into the forest, and then asked Tuba, "Are there any wounded soldiers?"
"There was no injury, not even the shadow of the bandits. Sergeant Major, why don't you let the soldiers go after them? ”
"This is an order from an adult, don't ask why."
"But~" Batu still felt very puzzled.
Angus felt that it was still necessary to ventilate such an important matter to the henchmen of Arte's side like Tuba, and whispered: "There are some things that you just know, don't say it." ”
Tuba watched Angus silently and waited for an answer.
"Didn't you notice that the bandit leader was familiar?"
Tuba carefully recalled the appearance of the bandit leader left during the pursuit just now, and after a moment exclaimed: "Isn't he the ...... of the little bandit?" Tuba shut up and didn't dare to say more.
Angus nodded, and said softly: "Now that our place is bigger, there are more people, and we are facing more enemies and opponents, and it is not easy for adults, we should always think about him as subordinates, you have to learn from Kazak, he has long seen that there is a problem with this group of bandits, but he doesn't ask a word."
"Sergeant Major, I~"
"Alright, take all the bullock cart supplies and the 'bandits' with us, and we continue south along the trade route to hunt down the bandits who attacked Lane Manor. ”
On the northern trade route of the birch forest, a sentinel rode his pegasus back to the caravan camp stationed outside Lane Manor.
The speed of the horse slowed down a little, and Ron jumped to the ground and ran to Art and whispered: "Master, everything is going well, the bandits left behind a lot of supplies and minions, and then escaped into the dense forest, and the sergeant major is continuing to chase south with the army. ”
"Okay, Ron, you go to Ryan Manor and tell the farmers in the manor, just say that the bandits who attacked them have been driven away by the Border Inspector, and Ryan Manor is safe."
Ron stepped back on his horse and ran towards Lane Manor......
Seeing Ron leaving, Felix handed a bowl of minced porridge to Art, and asked, "Brother-in-law, why don't you let the caravan enter Ryan Manor to recuperate?"
Art smiled and said, "I've already been there, so I'm not going in anymore."
Felix didn't understand what Art said, "Didn't you follow the team all the time?" When did you get in? ”
"Why do you have so many questions, I'll tell you later, the knife wound on your leg doesn't hurt anymore?" Art diverted Felix's attention.
It was only on the night of the second night after the robbery of the Lane Manor that the county of Tinets received an urgent report of the bandits. And the news was not delivered by the people of Lane Manor, but by the two cavalry under the jurisdiction of the Border Patrolman.
"You mean that Sir Art happened to pass by with his troops and drove away the robbers who had taken over the manor?" Viscount Pierre didn't believe much in the world that there were so many coincidences.
"Yes, three days ago, when my lord was transporting a batch of goods for Baron Galvin and passing through Lane Manor, he encountered a group of robbers who captured the manor, and it happened that our army to suppress bandits was also around, so we drove away the robbers together with the caravan guards, but because we wanted to protect the safety of the goods, we did not continue the pursuit, but my lord sent an army to continue the pursuit." Ron replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Hmph, the bandits in the south have not been eradicated, and he has become a coachman instead of performing his duties. What cargo is worth a knight personally delivering? "Viscount Pierre learned of the trouble at Lane Manor, and was a little dissatisfied with Art's unscrupulous behavior.
Pierre didn't want to say much in front of the young soldier, "Go back and tell Art that he should come to me when he passes by Tignaz." ”
"Yes, Lord Viscount." Ron saluted and exited the office.
