A battle to clear the rebellious army on the southbound baggage line was over.

Yate defeated the rebel army at the cost of 12 killed, 5 seriously wounded, and more than 10 lightly wounded, and killed more than 60 rebels, most of whom were vented by the mercenaries after surrendering, because in this battle, the two newly formed mercenary squadrons, especially the left wing mercenaries, suffered the greatest losses, and six of the twelve soldiers killed were mercenaries who held the left flank.

After the battle, the most important thing is to treat the wounded and clean up the catch.

The placement and treatment of the dead and wounded soldiers was handled by Otto with the guards, and Art was busy with the inquiring of the war captures.

The rebels had a nest nearby, and it didn't take much effort for Art to find out about the rebels' lair, but by the time Art galloped with Ron's 4th Squadron and Sentinels to a remote village occupied by the rebels, it was already in shambles—the only seven or eight dilapidated houses and straw huts in the village had been burned down by the rebels who had fled first, and a dozen or so indigenous villagers who had survived from the rebels' butcher's knives were wielding sticks and branches in an attempt to extinguish the flames in their huts......

The only stone house in the village originally hid the money, materials and food baggage looted by the rebel army recently, but at this time, almost all the money and property that was convenient for carrying were looted by the remnants, and even a lot of valuable goods were looted, only the looted room full of military food had not had time to burn {the stone house was not easy to ignite, and the remnants of the rebel army had just ignited the food but were extinguished in time by the Yate people because there was no combustion}.

Art kicked down the door of the rickety stone house, and glanced around the messy house and the soldiers who had just put out the fire, "Are there any valuable goods?" ”

"My lord, there is only food left here~"

Art turned to Angus and ordered: "Sergeant Major, you immediately take the sentry cavalry to follow the direction of the chaotic army's escape, they must have taken a lot of goods with them, if everything goes well, you can go back to the camp directly with your things, and then send someone back to report back to me."

Without saying a word, Angus immediately turned around and jumped on his horse, beckoning the sentry cavalry to gallop towards the west of the village, as pointed out by the villagers......

Seeing the sentinel cavalry disappearing at the entrance of the village, Art called Ron, who had followed him, to point to the grain piled up in the house, and ordered: "Ron, find an inconspicuous room, take your soldiers to transport the food to another room immediately and hide it, and after a while, the local army will have to smell and rush over, this group of mongrels cowered when they fought, and when they were caught in battle, the vicious dog ate shit, and they didn't listen to my orders on the battlefield just now, and now they don't want to get a grain of food."

"Quick, let your people move for me."

Ron led the men to pick up the grain bags and ran out, "I know there is food hidden in the village, I'll go right away." ”

As soon as Ron's words fell, Buzz also followed with a small team of soldiers, "My lord, the battlefield is almost settled, and Chief Otto is worried about danger here, so let me bring someone over to take a look." ”

Art looked at the mountains of grain piled up in the house, and said to Bass: "You have come just in time, and in a moment you will wait at the entrance of the village with your men, and if the local army smells of it, tell them that the fleeing rebels are running east with a large amount of goods, and say that I have sent an army to catch up, and I will order them to join in the pursuit, and if they can catch up with the deserters, I will give them a third of the goods."

"The deserter ran east with his goods?" Buzz asked.

"No, they went to the west. I'm just going to make this group of local troops eat. ”

Bas also glanced at the soldiers of the 4th Squadron who were carrying food, nodded, and asked, "What if they refuse to go "chasing the enemy" and insist on entering the village?" ”

"I said that I ordered them to go to the west to chase the enemy, if you don't listen, is the weapon in your hand an ornament?"

"Yes, sir!"

Bas led five soldiers back to the entrance of the village, staring in the direction of the battle.

Sure enough, after a while, the two knights each took two or three attendants and hurried to the entrance of the village on horseback.

"Where's Lord Arte? We're here to help. A knight asked Bass, who was standing at the entrance to the village.

Bas was very disgusted with this small lord of Provence who did not obey orders and only fought with the wind, and this guy obviously had more than 20 private soldiers {peasant soldiers} in his hands, so when Art took out the order signed by the Minister of War of Provence and asked him to send troops to help suppress it, he let half of his private soldiers go to "exterminate" the robbers in the realm, and only took a dozen weak old and weak serfs to follow Art to the battlefield.

At this time, after receiving the Secret Order of Atter, Bass's attitude was even worse, and he replied in an unkind tone: "Lord Stanley, the fleeing rebels have taken all the goods in the lair, and our soldiers have gone to pursue the remnants, and my lord has ordered the two adults to immediately pursue them along the mountain road to the east after they come, and you will have your share of the goods you have captured."

The other knight was about to turn his horse's head and chase after him to the east, but Stanley, a native knight of Provence who was talking to Bath, stopped him.

Stanley glanced at the fireworks rising in the village, and vaguely saw the moving figures of soldiers in the village, and replied, "You said to go east, go east?" We don't go east! Let's go, there must still be fighting in the village, let's go to help! With that, Stanley was about to bypass Bass and run towards the village.

Bas grabbed the reins of Stanley's war horse and said fiercely: "My lord has an order, let the two of you immediately go to pursue the remnants of the enemy." Are the two adults planning to resist the order again? ”

The squire behind Stanley jumped off his horse, rushed up and pushed Buzz away, scolding, "Untouchable! What are you? Do you dare to speak to my knight lord like this, do you want to die? As he spoke, he drew his sword.

Before the knight's squire's sword was unsheathed, the soldiers around Buzz had already surrounded the two knights and several of their squires, and the halberd spears and axes were pointed straight at the men.

"What are you going to do? Want to kill Lord Knight? The squire who pushed Bas just now looked fierce, but he was stunned in his heart.

Bas didn't pay any attention to this vicious dog, walked up to the two knights, and said: "Two lords, according to the order issued by the Minister of War of the Provence court, during the period of purging the rebel army, the two of you will be under the control of my lord, and during today's team battle, the two disobeyed the military orders of the adults and almost let the rebel army win, and now the two of you disobey the military orders again, are you not afraid of military law?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other knight dismounted and pulled Stanley, and explained to Bass in a slow voice: "Sir Stanley has no intention of disobeying the military order, he is just worried that Lord Art is in danger in the village, so he is in a hurry. Since the adults asked us to pursue the remnants of the enemy, we took the order. ”

The peace-speaking knight was about to pull on the reins of Stanley's horse and turn around.

Stanley pushed away the knight who spoke peacefully, pointed at Bass's nose and scolded: "With a piece of broken paper, I really think of myself as the Minister of War of the Palace, I won't pursue the remnants of the enemy today, I think he can do to me?"

Stanley jumped off his horse and pulled out the knight's sword at his waist, ", get out of my sight immediately, or I'll let you know how sharp the long sword is in my hand." ”

Bas was unmoved, he was born with a deep hatred for these little lords who held themselves noble and regarded everyone as untouchables, and only such a strong man would pretend to be murderous in front of the commoners, and if it was true, a brave knight like his own lord would not flaunt his might in front of the lowly commoners.

"Lord Stanley, I reaffirm to you, the knight of the court guard of the Count of Burgundy and the commander of the outpost of the Eastern Legion, Art? Wood? Sir Wells was ordered by the Minister of War of the Court of Provence and the Commander of the Eastern Legion to lead the army to clear the rebellious army, and Sir Art ordered you to pursue the remnants of the enemy with his men, with a view to completely annihilating the rebellious army and clearing the way for the eastern legion to move south, and you must not disobey the military order. ”

Stanley stretched out the knight's sword to Bass's neck and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm in Bass's face, ", if you don't get out of the way, I'll cut off your dog's head!" ”

Buzz slowly raised his hand to wipe the thick phlegm on his face, glanced at Stanley, and suddenly blocked the knight's sword on his neck with his left backhand, and then picked up the hammer with his right hand and smashed it at Stanley, Stanley lifted the sword, and the hammer smashed the knight's sword, and the huge impact shook the knight's sword in Stanley's hand.

Bas then picked up the hammer and smashed it into Stanley's stomach, which contained the force, but still smashed Stanley back a few steps, and crouched on the ground with his stomach in his arms.

"Arrest these rebels who disobey military orders!" Bas ordered a few soldiers around him.

The five soldiers rushed straight up and knocked two of Stanley's squires to the ground, and then held them down.

"This brother, you can't kill Sir Stanley, you can't kill, you can't kill!" The knight who had just spoken peace saw that the scene was out of control in an instant, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.

"Don't worry, my lord, we are just arresting the rebels who violate the military order, how to punish them is the business of your lords, I will not trespass." Buzz replied with a blank face.

"That's good, that's good, I'll take my men to pursue the remnants of the enemy at once, go immediately."

"My lord, you don't have to, just stay here, and you will give us a testimony in a moment that Lord Stanley has blatantly violated military orders." Bas politely said to the knight of peace.

"Of course, of course ~ no problem ~ no problem ~"

…………

In the village where the rebels were hiding, the food in the stone hut had been basically emptied, and Art stopped the last soldier carrying the grain bag and ordered: "Tell your squadron leader Ron, let him gather all the available wagons and ox carts in the village for me in a while, and I will send someone to transport the grain later." ”

"Yes, my lord." The soldier happily ran towards a wooden house in the village, carrying a grain bag.

As soon as the soldiers carrying the rations went out, a soldier of the second squadron ran in and whispered to Art: "Your Excellency, as you expected, the two knights did smell it, but Lord Stanley refused to carry out your military orders and was seized by Commander Bass."

Art glanced at Ron's squadron, which was still busy in the village, and then at Angus and the Sentinel Cavalry, who were chasing the enemy without reply, and instructed the messengers: "Tell Buzz to let him show me those two men closely, and say that I am now cleaning up the remnants of the village with the soldiers, and it will take a while to deal with them." Tell Buzz not to hurt the two knights easily, they are the noble knights of a friendly nation after all. ”

"But if Stanley's entourage soldiers dare to continue to make trouble, it doesn't matter if they kill one or two miscellaneous pieces......
