On the plain outside the mouth of a mountain range, Shu Zifeng, who was covered in iron armor, stood up, quietly looked at the 'black line' that was gradually approaching in the distance, and asked the system elf in his heart:

"Is it possible that if I win any of the crusaders from the Grand Duchy of Moscow, I can complete the third mission to defeat the Vustriary army of Muscovy? For example, to defeat the avant-garde army from the city of Rostov in front of me. ”

[Of course, the conquest system doesn't care about the means of war you use, just look at the results, and achieving the basic goal of completing the task can be counted as completing the task and getting rewards, after all, the essence of the conquest system is to help you rise and conquer other nations, the higher your achievements, the richer the rewards given by the conquest system. 】

Shu Zifeng nodded secretly, no longer spoke, and swept his gaze to the 'bait' in front of him.

In the front were 500 cannon fodder soldiers from the first camp, all armed with captured spears and ordinary swords, without any armor, and in the back were 500 conscripted militiamen, whose weapons were slightly stronger than the cannon fodder of the first camp, but they also only had linen clothes.

Conrad looked at the large number of enemy soldiers that were gradually appearing in the distance with an uneasy face, looked at the 'army' that was useless except for the number of people on his side, and proposed to Shu Zifeng who was standing in front of him with a weak heart:

"My lord, we have no cavalry and no heavy armored super pike troops, relying on the bow and crossbow weapons of the hunter team, we can't cause damage to the noble heavy armored cavalry on the opposite side, and if we face the enemy head-on, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for even a quarter of an hour......"

"A quarter of an hour? Hehe, Conrad, you really can afford to look up to those panicked first camp cannon fodder and conscription militia farmers who take up arms. Shu Zifeng did not hide the contempt in his eyes, and looked at Conrad with a smile.

"My lord, why are we here when we can't deal with the army in Rostov-on-Don?"

"I will tell you what you should know, you don't have to ask if it is superfluous, I am not letting you fight to the death here, if you can't resist, lead the team to retreat to the mountains behind you, I myself stand here, what are you afraid of?

What's more, you still have a war horse to travel. ”

Conrad glanced at the nervous conscription militia and the cannon fodder with a desperate face, and sighed helplessly and didn't say anything more.

However, Conrad couldn't help but admire Shu Zifeng, the leader, who dared to take risks to stay with the people who were destined to be outcasts.

Shu Zifeng's personal danger naturally has its deep meaning, on the one hand, in order to suppress these people who were drawn out, and they don't know that they are cannon fodder soldiers who are used as bait, 500 first camp cannon fodder under the supervision of 500 conscripted militia, and Shu Zifeng's deterrence, which can ensure that there will be no mutiny, and 500 conscripted militiamen can always see Shu Zifeng's figure and handsome flag, and they will not think of being abandoned as cannon fodder.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, the army to which the leader belongs is still relatively reliable.

As for the whereabouts of other friendly soldiers, the little soldier Gazi is not qualified to find out through the information channels.

Another purpose of Shu Zifeng's personal sitting, is to confuse the Rostov avant-garde on the opposite side, if you want to catch a big fish, you must first match a bait of sufficient value, Shu Zifeng was also a well-known accomplice when he swept away the rebel nobles under the command of Grand Duke Yaroslav, and even his portrait was placed in front of the table of the Moscow City Duma nobles.

The army that had been assembled in Moscow for so long was not blindly commanding the map, and basic intelligence gathering was also carried out at the same time, and although the upper echelons of this era did not have a systematic understanding of intelligence gathering, they still knew the common sense of collecting information about enemy leaders.

Even in backward cold-weapon wars, it is rare for the two sides to go to war and not even know who the opposing commander and important generals are.

Knowing the truth that they are invincible in a hundred battles, the Chinese figured it out in the Spring and Autumn Period, and even if the European whites are backward, they should understand this basic battlefield common sense.

The commander of the Rostov avant-garde army, the moment he saw the Shu Zishuai banner, he knew the location of Shu Zifeng, and in the field of vision of the monoculars, it was not difficult to see Shu Zifeng standing on the small plateau of the plain, wearing a shining armor and being held by the stars of the guards.

The painters of this era are still relatively dedicated, and through the comparison of the portrait with the real person, they can still recognize Shu Zifeng's face, after all, Shu Zifeng is a soul through the soul, and this body is originally known by many acquaintances, as long as the nobles have a heart, it is not difficult to get his portrait.

The avant-garde army in Rostov was not numerous, with just over 3,000 soldiers, excluding the miscellaneous auxiliaries who did not go to the battlefield, but the Russians had a habit of placing a large number of elites in the avant-garde in order to achieve the effect of a breakthrough.

The avant-garde army is the main force to gain the first strike and break through the fist, so the quality is very high, more than three thousand people almost eight CD are composed of professional soldiers.

These included a large number of mercenaries, noble retinues, direct guards, knightly servants, and knights themselves, and were armed with many arquebuses.

The most important thing is that the vanguard army has a total of more than 3,000 troops, and there are almost 1,000 cavalry units!

Cavalry is an indispensable arm in any field battlefield, and even the lowest-ranking horsemen are much more noble than professional infantry warriors.

The cavalry units of this avant-garde army are naturally the essence of the main force in Rostov-on-Don, perhaps the more than 2,000 professional infantry troops suffered heavy casualties and had no effect, but if these nearly a thousand cavalry units were disabled, even the huge Muscovy would feel distressed, because the cavalry officers in it were all the children of the elite families from the aristocratic class.

As soon as more than 3,000 armored soldiers stood in front of a thousand miscellaneous soldiers under Shu Zifeng, the military array under Shu Zifeng had a commotion and chaos......

Although the commander of the Rostov avant-garde army recognized Shu Zifeng, he did not know much about his specific strength, and the portrait was not difficult to obtain, but the specific intelligence of the army required professionals to go deep into the barracks to collect little by little.

Shu Zifeng, who came from a mercenary in later generations, will naturally arrange and conceal the details of his army, so that the enemy can know the detailed information of his army, which is not a fun thing......

Therefore, the commander of the avant-garde army in Rostov was not surprised that there were only a thousand soldiers under Shu Zifeng's command, you must know that Shu Zifeng's 'personal resume' was originally just a lowly serf, and Moscow City never regarded Shu Zifeng as an opponent, they only saw Grand Duke Yaroslav alone!
