Chapter 351: The Knight's Fall

Rig entered the manor with his soldiers, without much effort, for the old knight "did not close the gates of the village when he returned to the manor after failing to talk about malaria."

At first, Rig thought that this was the old guy's trick, and wandered at the gate of the village, hesitated for a long time, and sent people to repeatedly test before he was worried and brought fifteen soldiers into the manor.

Rig led a group of soldiers in armor and fierce as they walked towards the inside of the manor, the doors of the low grass huts along the road were open, and there was not the slightest human figure in the huts.

Follow a muddy road full of human and animal feces to the mansion of Sir Logan, Lord of the Manor.

Coming here, Rig's mind became more and more confused.

As a knight for more than ten years, this old guy should have the strength to build a mansion fortress that is considered luxurious in the eyes of commoners (Rigg), even if it is a poor place where Ryan has a stone mansion, but the mansion in front of Rig's eyes is just a single-story wooden roof wooden house, and the courtyard is only a half-human high wall with gravel piles, and there are only four wooden houses in the wall, including stables and granaries, which is really reluctant to be counted as a "mansion".

The mansion will be called the mansion for the time being.

In the mansion, the old knight Logan had gathered more than forty peasant women and servants, craftsmen, peasant soldiers, and the old knight's family (an old woman older than the old knight) of the entire manor to wait in the courtyard.

He told all the men to lay down their weapons and farm tools, and stood quietly under the eaves around the courtyard to wait for the enemy to dispose of them, and then had all the valuables of the mansion of value or that he thought the raiders would be interested in neatly stacked in the middle of the courtyard, and then stood in front of the people in front of the people in neat and shiny armor and with a knight's sword, accompanied by the old woman, towards the gate of the courtyard.

Rig and a dozen soldiers stood in front of the wooden door frame of the courtyard, staring blankly at everything in the courtyard, but they didn't dare to enter.

Drawing his sword and rushing into the manor, he originally wanted to run rampant in the Swabian Rao territory to vent the resentment that had accumulated in his heart for a long time, this is the enemy territory, they are enemy troops, and there is not much psychological pressure to burn and loot in the enemy territory. However, when Rig and the soldiers arrived at the old knight's mansion, the depression could not be vented.

"What the hell is this old thing trying to do?" The squadron leader beside Rig had already raised his broadaxe and was about to break the door, but he saw the scene in the courtyard, and he didn't know whether to split it down or take it back.

Before Rig could speak, the old knight walked slowly to the courtyard gate, he knew that these Burgundians could not understand Swabian, so he directly translated to the Swabian descendant for a while.

Wan Yi blushed for a while, and then interpreted under the kick of the squadron leader, "Old Sir Logan, there are about 100,000 Fennig worth of property in the courtyard, which is already all his savings. ”

"These are the things that his son has accumulated over the years of participating in the plundering of the border areas of Burgundy, and his son died in battle two years ago under Walloon Castle on the border of the Count of Burgundy, and his son has atoned for the cruel atrocities, and he hopes that the gentlemen will accept these things and forgive the people here."

Rig tilted his head and glanced at the things piled up in the courtyard, a tin box filled with glittering gold cakes and silver coins, two silver goblets on top of the cash box, three bags of salt, fennel, cardamom and other dry spices, a few raw silk satins, and a ceramic bottle.

The old knight made a slight bow to Rig, "Gentlemen, I have put all my possessions here, and you can take them all, but I hope you will spare these poor civilians and my family. If you dislike these things too little, you can tie me up and go to the county town to ask for ransom, and the county magistrate knows me well, so I should be able to get a sum. ”

"Also, I ask you not to take away all our seeds, we need seeds to sow the land after the winter......"

The old knight's tone was very flat, as if he were negotiating the price of a piece of leather with a passing dealer.

From the bandits of the Wuthering Mountains and forests to the soldiers of the Ear Kingdom who fought in the south and the north, Rig had become accustomed to the so-called glory of those invincible knights, lords, nobles, swords, and the so-called glory of fighting for dignity, as well as the panic before being killed after defeat, and it was indeed the first time he had encountered a knight like the old man.

"What? When I am a merchant who has come to barter with you for furs? And pay me back! Okay, okay, let your people be obedient, and I'll try to kill as few people as possible. After dealing with two sentences, Rig ignored the old knight, and ran directly around the old knight to the mansion, and asked the soldiers to hurry all the people of the manor to the main house of the mansion and detain them, and swept away all the valuable goods in the middle of the courtyard, and a copper coin was overwhelming.

Then Rig ordered, "You guys, give me another raid on the old sir's mansion, and I don't believe that the old man is willing to give us all his possessions." ”

"You guys, go and collect the wagons and cattle from the manor, and gather here."

"You guys, show me the people in the mansion, don't let them run out and make trouble."

"The rest of you, search me inside and outside the manor, but don't let the old gentleman hide his money in the untouchable house and forget to take it out."

"You, go and get half of the soldiers outside the manor in to join the search."

After the soldiers were busy, Rig led his personal guards to the old knight with his weapons in hand, and he walked around the old knight with his eyes slightly closed, looking at the fine armor worn by the old knight, long-sleeved chain mail and various iron armor accessories made of fine iron.

This fine armor is afraid that it will not be able to withstand this half of the manor.

Rig looked down at his own broken iron armor, and then looked up at the armor on the old knight's body, and his face changed suddenly, "I'm an old thing, the most valuable thing is on you, and you still plan to keep it for yourself?" ”

The old knight was unmoved, and Rig thought that the old knight didn't understand, so he pulled the interpreter standing aside and passed it to the old knight.

The old knight didn't seem to want to take off this armor.

"I'll tell you the old thing, if you don't take it off, we'll use our swords!" Rig was about to draw his sword, and several soldiers around him were also armed against each other.

The interpreter whispered a few words of persuasion to the old knight, and the old knight replied without saying a word.

"Great, sir, this armor of old Sir Logan was left by his son, he can give you anything, but this armor is not proof"

"That's his only son." The interpreter paraphrased it.

Rig picked at his head, "I'm his enemy!" I still have to care if he dies, and my son is sad? ”

"You tell the old sir that I have taken this armor, and it's a big deal to let him treat me as a son, so that he doesn't have to grieve."

Rig then waved his hand to a few soldiers, "You guys, help take off the armor, don't crush the old knight with such heavy armor." ”

Without the slightest hesitation, the soldiers pinned down the old knight and stripped him of the fine armor layer by layer, and the old knight only endured it silently, he could no longer wield the knight's sword in his hand.

When Rig dealt with the old knight in the courtyard of the mansion, dozens of soldiers had already turned the inside and out of the small manor, and the soldiers did not suffer the hatred brought by the resistance of the manor, so they did not destroy it to vent their anger when they looted.

There was no abnormality in the entire manor except for people coming and going in and out of the house, and there was not even a cherry tree arson

Rig put on the armor with the help of the soldiers, and then threw his iron armor to the squadron leader next to him, as the flag captain Rig is qualified to wear fine plate chain armor, but the legion's fine armor is insufficient, and he has just been promoted, so he has been wearing that iron armor.

The soldiers moved quickly, or the Swaben in the manor was unusually cooperative, and in less than a minute, the soldiers had piled up the entire manor suitable for their looting in the open space outside the manor.

A Chinese soldier with birch bark and charcoal rod in his hand walked up to the commander who was examining the rubbing of his armor, "Sir Rig, the list of seizures here is as follows: seventy-three thousand two hundred and sixty pufferins of gold and silver, thirty-one thousand phfennigs of valuable goods, four sets of weapons, one set of armor, one carriage, three ox carts, one riding horse, three horses, six ploughing oxen, mules and horses, and a flock of sheep and eight pigs, and three thousand pounds of finely ground ......wheat for grain."

Rig tugged at the hem of the chain mail skirt and waved his hand, "You just need to record it well, and go back and report to the Chinese army that you have won the battle and become a colonel."

"Now it's time to force the second thing, and let all the people who are locked up in the house come out, and pick out the artisans, healers, and scholars, and their families, and see if there are any of us Burgundians, and if there are any, take them back." Ropes & Gray is very satisfied, and it is a good deal to gain so much without losing the slightest.

After snatching things and snatching people, even if today's forced conscription task is completed, he estimates that if he successfully completes the task of burning the village, he will definitely be praised by the Chinese army.

However, Rig didn't expect to receive no hindrance after snatching things, but when he grabbed the goods, it caused strong resistance from the old knight.

The old knight had been stripped of his weapons and armor, and he picked up a stick of wood in the courtyard to block the door of the room where the people were being held, preventing the soldiers from approaching, and he kept yelling at the soldiers who were approaching, which was obviously not a gentleman's word.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene, thinking to themselves why this old guy suddenly went crazy?

Rig pushed away the soldier with the spear and sword holding the opposite soldier, and walked over to the old knight, "Hey! I'm an old fellow, what are you crazy about? ”

The old knight pointed the stick in his hand at Rig, looking desperate, and scolded Rig in his mouth.

"Is this old guy scolding me? Well? Rig grabbed the Swabian interpreter.

"Old ~ Old Sir you are a mongrel without faith and honor ~ , you promised not to kill people~"

"When did I promise not to kill? Besides, I just robbed people, and I didn't intend to kill anyone. You guys, hold me the old thing. ”

Several soldiers immediately rushed forward and pushed the old knight to the ground.

The manor lords in the room saw that their lord was crushed to the ground by the enemy, and a few brave young men rushed out to fight with Rig's soldiers.

Rig didn't intend to kill Rao, but he didn't expect them to make those sheep angry by pressing the old man.

The best way to deal with an angry sheep is to kill them with a stick, and Rig draws his broadsword and raises his sword to slash a man who rushes at him.

The Swabian interpreter hurriedly explained aloud to the old knight and the Schwaben in the room, presumably telling them that the Burgundian soldiers were not going to kill or something.

The old knight who was pressed to the ground quickly turned his head and shouted to the people in the room, but the people in the room never rushed out again.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Rig withdrew his sword, "I was in a good mood and didn't plan to kill, you have to force me to be a bad guy, you Swabians are really not a thing!" ”

"You! Go in and tell them to let all the craftsmen, healers, and scholars come out, and I will count to fifty, and if no one comes forward, I will chop off the head of their lord with one sword! ”

"One~Two~"

The Swabian interpreter immediately ran to the door of the room to convey Rig's order to stop the killing......

............

"You two really don't want to go back to Burgundy with us?" Rig asked the two Burgundian serfs he had picked out.

The faces of the two Burgundian serfs were actually a little ruddy, if it weren't for themselves, ordinary people really wouldn't be able to see that they were serfs from the lord's family, "My lord, we have been living here for seven or eight years, Lord Logan has been very good to us, and he also gave us land to cultivate, and now the border is fighting every year, and we can't go back to cultivate the fields with peace of mind, it is better to stay here and be a serf for Lord Rogan, at least we can eat enough." ”

"You're a bastard! Don't let go home and be a freedman, and don't have to stay and be slaves! Rigge was annoyed.

"Sir, we were originally untouchables, as long as we can live, what is the difference between serfs and free people?"

"You guys! I! "Rigger is angry.

"!" Rig waved away the two Burgundians who were kneeling on the ground.

As soon as the two Burgundians left, a black-robed soldier on horseback rushed into the manor, ran to Rig's side and hurriedly said: "Sir Rig, a squadron of the Third Banner is being resisted in the nearby village, Schwabian has killed our three brothers, and the squadron leader asked me to ask you for help!" ”

Rigge's brain is buzzing, and he dares to resist!

"Heralds, gather your soldiers at once, and follow me to kill all the Swabian untouchables!"

Just as he was about to turn away, Rig caught a glimpse of the old knight sitting in the corner of the courtyard, describing him as very depressed.

Rig hesitated, took the knight's long sword hanging from his waist, and pulled it out of its sheath, the blade of which had been sharpened countless times, and the blade was covered with dents.

Walking up to the old knight, Rig threw the knight's sword and scabbard to the old knight, "What a thing, I don't want it for me, take it back!" ”

When he was done, he turned and left......
