Chapter 26: A bit like a weasel
After going out, Luther came to the back hill of the castle, and by the way, he encouraged the two guards who were guarding the door.
The guards at the gate of the castle changed every week, and the two new guards were very young, and they were obviously a little excited to hear his encouragement, after all, most of them had seen the Earl of Sears only a handful of times.
Houshan has now been converted into a makeshift factory, where everything that needs to be done is hauled, so that what was once a large vacant lot is now full of huts and busy people.
At this time, the butler was holding a spear, and the head of the spear was in the shape of a Mitsubishi thorn, which made Luther laugh dumbly, and the Mitsubishi thorn is said to have been transformed from a spear or spear at the earliest, and now it has been restored.
Luther hugged his chest and watched the butler stab the spear in place continuously, his eyes were almost unable to keep up with the speed, and the position of the stab was the same upper, middle and lower three points, which made the spear shadow in the three positions seem to have three spears, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart The old butler was awesome.
I didn't understand the difference between a knight and a big knight before, but now I saw it with my own eyes and finally knew it, no wonder the old butler said that one is the title and the other is the strength, and he has seen the swordsmanship of the Canadian Solar, although it is powerful, it is not too exaggerated.
"Young Master. Seeing Luther approaching, the old butler stuck his spear into the ground and saluted him gracefully, as if it was the real Sass now, and it was just someone else.
"It's pretty heavy. "The all-metal spear is really not light, Luther felt that there were at least more than twenty catties, but he didn't expect it to be like playing in the hands of the butler, you must know that the long sword he usually uses for training weighs only a few catties, and the two-handed sword is only more than ten catties.
After seeing the young master's actions, Old Sass was also moved in his heart, the young master was basically not very interested in force, so that he was a little worried, after all, it was impossible for someone to protect the young master all the time, and accidents were possible.
And since this family incident, the young master has not only changed a lot, but also begun to learn the long sword, which makes Sass very pleased.
"Young master, this is specially customized by me, it is too light to use. ”
It dawned on Luther that it was no wonder that the spear was only about 5 inches long, and it was not used by the knights when they charged.
At this time, Luther heard Irina's grumbling in the distant room. "To be clear, it's too troublesome to be high and low for a while. ”
"That's it, don't change, just a while. ”
Listening to the conversation, what should be being built, Luther didn't go in to disturb, he easily inserted the spear into the ground, and then looked up at the butler and asked, "Are all the militia equipped at present?"
What about the soldiers and knights?
"At present all the militia are equipped with short swords, and as for the longsword Eric Knight's suggestion, it is a few of them, because some of them are really not good at using them.
In addition, the leather armor is all in place, and the crossbow should be able to be completed in the next few days. ”
After the butler finished speaking, he said with a somewhat depressed expression: "But the war horse is still a big problem, because it is impossible to buy a suitable war horse in a short time, so many knight squires can only serve as infantry." ”
Originally, Luther guessed that this might happen, and bought 20 horses from old Santos, but he didn't expect that it was still not enough.
Sears originally had more knights, so there were more knight squires, but there were no horses, and good horses in this area were even more expensive than heavy armor, and ordinary horses were also sought-after, so knights generally cherished their war horses.
Originally, Luther thought that he could make do with two hundred cavalry, but now it seems that it is enough.
"How many cavalry and how many knights are there at the moment, I mean those who own war horses. ”
"There are 55 knights and 62 squires, a total of 117 people, and most of them are corgammas except for the knights' horses, so the training is not easy. ”
The old butler's words Luther understood that this kind of horse was not very popular in the local area, first, because this kind of horse was afraid of life, and second, this kind of horse was not very good in endurance, but even this kind of horse was not easy to buy.
"And how many cavalry are there without horses?"
"There are 110 people, but these people are all knightly squires of the Sears family, young master, don't worry, even if they don't have horses, they are not bad. ”
The two times I asked the steward to report the specific number, it seems that I really worried a lot about the war horse, although I know what the butler means, but Luther feels that it is a pity that a good cavalry can only be an infantry now.
And the cavalry charge that is not on the scale is given for nothing, and at that time, the cavalry may be divided to support, and even less can be used.
Rubbing his forehead, Luther, who was a little distressed, suddenly said, "Big fat sheep...... Oh no, did you ask Baron Cosel, this guy is doing a good business, there must be some way. ”
Hearing the three words of the big fat sheep blurted out by the young master, Saas forcibly pretended not to hear it, in fact, he was also a little crying and laughing by the young master in his heart, I don't know how Baron Cosel would feel if he knew that the young Earl of Sears actually called the other party the big fat sheep, if he met a bad temper, he would definitely jump out of his feet and throw out his gloves to duel with the young master.
"I didn't ask Lord Baron Kosel, young master. ”
Luther slapped his forehead when he heard this, what are he asking nonsense, the butler with an unequal identity must not be able to ask Baron Corsel directly, and he is not the butler of the Duke or the Grand Duke's family, their weight is enough.
"Well, you'll come with me later, and bring the castle cook. ”
Although Luther felt a bit like a weasel greeting the chicken, for now all you could count on was the fat sheep of Baron Corsel.
All he could pray now was that the other party had a horse in his hand, even if it was an ordinary Kolgama, or that there was some way to get it, and although it was a lot of money, it was worth it.
There is still a gap between the charge of a hundred and more than two hundred knights, especially in the face of the opponent's lightly armored troops, ensuring that the opponent will be defeated in one round of contact, even if the opponent is more numerous, it will cause chaos.
And the confusion of the civilians is an effective means of attacking the morale of the opponent, and at this time, the cavalry turns around and attacks the opponent's infantry, not seeking how effective it can be at one time.
In terms of momentum, it is enough to force the opposite side to show weakness, once it does not work, twice, twice, three times, at this time, presumably their own troops have almost solved the militia just in time.
The opponent's cavalry is defended by shield spearmen, so Luther spent a lot of money to buy equipment, trying his best to make his side less affected, and if the opponent really has cavalry and really charged, the crossbow in the rear is also waiting for them, this is a super surprise, just to deal with the cavalry.
