Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Secret Weapon
"In that case, then we will be stunned from the main road, and I do not believe that Joseph's bandits can defeat our new army." Charlie let out a cold snort in his nose, and proudly conveyed the order to his officers, saying, "Pass my order, send five hundred men to guard that path, to prevent Joseph from escaping." The rest of the men were all gathered on the main road and attacked Joseph head-on. ”
He did this not because of arrogance, but because he had full confidence and necessity, first of all, he believed that Joseph's bandits would not be able to defeat his regular army in terms of the level of elite. Moreover, Joseph has been a bandit for many years, but instead of being exterminated, he has become bigger and stronger, which is enough to show that this is a man with a good head and smoke, and he will never let you sneak up on him from the path.
"Yes!" The officers under his command replied in unison, they have not been trained for a long time, and their hands are itchy, although these bandits are all small dishes, they can also fight their teeth, so their fighting spirit is particularly high.
The next day, early in the morning, General Charles concentrated his main forces to attack Joseph's entrenched cottage from the main road to the south, and Clifford, as the overseer, naturally participated.
On the one hand, he has the obligation to report the war situation to Taylor, on the other hand, he also wants to see how people in this era fight, he wants to develop his strength in the future, build his own empire, and it is indispensable to use knives with people.
"Warriors! This is our first battle after entering the three counties in the north, as the elite force of the kingdom, you must give me a brilliant fight, this battle is related to whether we can gain a foothold in the north, no one can slack off, cowardly, and there is no mercy! General Charles waved his sword and commanded in a loud voice, his beard beating incessantly with his high-pitched shout, which accentuated the general's majesty.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! The thousands of knights under his command were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, brandishing the swords, guns, swords, and halberds in their hands, and shouted loudly, and the eyes of the bandits in front of him flashed green, like a hungry wolf that had been hungry for a long time, and finally encountered a delicious prey.
"Charge!" Charlie, the commander of the Fourth Legion, saw that his morale was available, and he swung his greatsword forward and shouted.
The vanguard swarmed up, shielding their shields from the front, and with a broadsword in the other, they rushed up the hill with a shout!
"Shoot the arrows! Give these eagle dogs some color to see! The second master was wearing an armor that he didn't know where to get, brandishing a big knife and shouting. The officers and soldiers refused to surrender, obviously looking down on them, which made the second boss of the three counties in the north for many years very unhappy, and he vowed to teach this group of arrogant people a good lesson, what about the officers and soldiers? It's all two shoulders and one head, who is afraid of whom?
However, it turned out that he was wrong, and it was a big mistake, this group of bandits under his command bullied and bullied the common people and local armed forces, but if they really ran into the regular army, they would not be opponents at all.
Because when they robbed their homes, they were training, when they raped ** women, they were training, when they were eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, people were still training, and this did not count the gap in equipment, just training the new army of the kingdom could turn those bandits who usually walked sideways into scum in seconds.
The front of the officers and soldiers held shields to block the dense rain of arrows of the bandits, and the shields they shot "clanged", and they were all wearing fine armor, so it was difficult for the bandits' arrows to cause casualties to them.
On the contrary, after advancing a certain distance of the official army, they began to return fire with bows and arrows at the bandits in the walled city, the bows and arrows of the official army were of good quality, the range was longer, and the strength was relatively large, and it was simply invincible to deal with bandits with few armor, and for a while, the bandits' firepower was suppressed.
"Hiding from what? On the battlefield, arrows can't be dodged, shoot back! You cowards! Seeing that his subordinates were cowardly, many people didn't dare to show their heads, so they stomped their feet and scolded angrily.
The firepower of the officers and soldiers was too fierce, and a few rows of arrows rained down, and a large number of bandits had been put down, and the remaining bandits saw their former companions fall to their side one by one, and they were so frightened that they didn't even have a cold, and the cats dodged the arrows under the city walls.
Losing the suppression of firepower, it was a matter of minutes for the officers and troops to attack, and the second boss was like a fire sitting on his buttocks, so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded, saying: "Shoot back, fight back!" When they come in, none of you fucking want to live! ”
That being said, those timid people still didn't dare to show their heads under the wall, and occasionally a few bold people stood up and wanted to shoot back, but as soon as they showed up, the arrows of the official army flew over like flying locusts, shooting those people into hedgehogs.
"What? Don't cowardly! Stand up and fight back! "A grumpy bandit leader, seeing that his side was crushed to death, and the official army was about to attack, he was so angry that he stomped his feet, he wanted to behave well in front of the second master, so as to get the opportunity to be promoted, so he bravely stood up to supervise the battle.
However, God is always ruthless, as soon as he showed his head, he was shot through the head by an archer of the official army, and fell to the ground with a "plop", and his brain burst to the ground, so that there were fewer bandits who dared to show their heads.
The anxious heart of the second master is on fire, he has been a bandit for many years, and he knows the rules of this industry, if the city is broken by the official army or other bandits, other people may be able to live, but he, the second master, must die, because he is the person who presides over the resistance, causing a lot of casualties to the other party, the other party will definitely hate him to the core, plus for safety reasons, he must be disposed of as the most capable person.
Seeing that the officials and the army are not pressing, and these cowards are not powerful, how can the second boss not be in a hurry? Now is an extraordinary period, he doesn't dare to kill those who are afraid of the enemy and do not fight, in case there is an accident and a disaster to Xiao Wall, it is a big bad, there is no way, he can only grit his teeth, stomp his feet, and say: "Go!" Take out the stuff at the bottom of our knock-off box! ”
"Yes! Two masters! A small leader answered, and then ran quickly into the cottage to get their secret weapon.
Seeing that victory was in sight, everyone in the vanguard of the official army was brave, and they all wanted to win the first merit of breaking the camp and pulling out the village, but they did not expect that when they rushed to the front of the walled gate, the bandits' gate suddenly opened, and the officers and soldiers immediately stopped, and many years of battlefield experience told them that the other party opened the city gate at this time, and it was definitely not as simple as wanting to surrender, and there must be a huge conspiracy hidden behind.
