Chapter 31: Guerrilla Warfare

"Nikitas Party!" The group reported their way and rode to the gate and the road, and when everyone, including the head of Afyon, thought that they would rush in, but what they did not expect was that the Nisitas suddenly stopped their horses, and jumped off their horses, and then the men in the first two rows were armed with strange weapons with long poles, and the second row in the back row, wielding iron knives, and galloping towards the ranks of the Callegos.

Soon, the battle between the two sides entered the stage of step by step.

The Callegos and Nikitas were in a clearing on the edge of the town of Afyon, and two or three hundred men from each side were in a fight.

The Kalegos party was originally in a position to deal with the surprise attack of the horse team, but now the Nikitas party suddenly abandoned the horse and attacked, and did not react for a while, still in a circular dense formation: and the Nikitas, who was originally born as a mountain bandit, was more flexible, and soon divided into two parts, left and right, and rushed to kill the Callegos.

"Kill them!" The former soldiers of the Callegos raised their small cranked battle axes and threw them one after another, and the battle axes spun and struck several Nikitas who could not dodge, and the other of them immediately splattered blood from their heads and fell to the ground. Then the forward of the Nikitas party, separated by a distance of dozens of feet, was divided into left and right wings, and threw the oak seedling shuttle dart in his hand to counterattack, like the fangs above and below the shark's mouth, mixed with the stabbing into the dense camp of the Callegos, and one of the leaders was still shouting the command to "scatter the team and fight", and was pierced through the neck by a shuttle dart from the mouth to the neck, and blood flowed all over the armor on the chest, and he fell to the ground screaming.

Then the two sides continued to enter the stage of long-weapon combat, and the speed and fierceness of the battle were so fast that even Tekopo, who was watching the battle at the head of the city, was greatly surprised: this group of irregular stragglers fought bravely, although they lacked the atmosphere of a dignified array, but they were far superior in fierceness and ferocity.

The Nikitas removed the buckle from their backs and pulled out their long, extremely sturdy spears made of eucalyptus, which were orders of magnitude shorter than the spears of the great infantry and more suitable for skirmishers. Its tail and middle end are wrapped around a linen cloth wrap to facilitate holding with both hands, and the head is an extremely narrow and flat blade tip, called "Maimang", and there is a barb in each of the two sections behind the tip of the blade, called "inverted tassel".

A series of angry shouts rang out, and the spearmen in the front row of Nikitas deflected the "Maimang" about twenty or thirty degrees away, and stabbed at the Callegos, fluttering, and the waist and side of the neck were stabbed one by one, and many of them were like fish pulled by iron hooks, shaking and screaming at the end of the battle—the terrible sound exploded, making the Turkopos on the towers of the city walls tremble.

Then Nikitas did not relent, and then pulled out the pierced wheat mang upside down: in this way, the "inverted ear" followed the original wound, and hooked out the intestines, internal organs, and neck tendons of the person who was stabbed, and the scene was extremely bloody, and it was so frightened that Callegos in the back row threw down his weapons and fell to the ground, raising his hands and not daring to fight again.

At this time, the Nikitas shouted "Feud of Ferner", and the soldiers in the back row raised their sharp knives and burst forward, and in the light of slashing knives, the heads of Callegos rolled all over the ground like apples and pears spilled from the overturning of chests.

The rest of the Callegos had already lost their hearts, and they were in a hurry, constantly turning their horses and galloping towards the city of Afylon.

The Tekopo soldiers on the tower saw with their own eyes that on the edge of a lime forest, a leader of the Callegos was about to flee on horseback, when the mountain bandits who rushed out of the oblique thorn used a curved blade to cut off the horse's head, and the leader's breastplate and bridle were all cut to pieces, and he fell in a bloody light.

Then the mountain bandit howled and stepped on the chest of the dying leader, drew the iron knife he was wearing, and slashed it down again and again, as if he were slaughtering a head animal, and cut the leader to pieces in front of the soldiers and civilians of the city.

The other victorious so-called Nikitas, who ransacked the entire market town under the city, were lawless, and after robbing all the men and women they had captured, they dragged out the tax collectors and tied them to wooden stakes, wrapped them in hay, shot out of the flames with fire pipes, lit them and burned them alive, and then put several merchants in the market towns with lassoes, tied them in their hands, and galloped out on horseback, dragging them to death along the way.

The hundreds of garrisons in the city did not dare to go into battle at all, and did not open the gates until the whole Nikitas had gone far away, and several market towns had been burned to the ground.

When the news reached the city of Philadofiam, Brenus was furious and ordered the Plonian officers to go with their troops to eliminate the Nikitas, and both he and Dedo knew in their hearts that this group of bandits was definitely released by Gawain, so Dedo himself wrote a letter to Iconium to express his strong protest.

But then the news that came to the city of Philadofiam was even less encouraging: the Nikitas did not know how many, nor their disposition and direction, but only that they were divided into more than a dozen teams, riding horses and mules from Afyon to the Phrygian mountains, and everywhere they could get help from the Isurians, and they plundered many small market towns like a whirlwind, and the refugees everywhere rushed to the wolves. Brenus's defenses and clearances were of no avail, the gaps between the castles, and the familiar countryside of the Nikitas, who came and went with ease, burned everywhere, and many of them cursed the Emperor in a rebellious manner, claiming to be vengeful ghosts from hell, a brutal guerrilla tactic that made Brenus very difficult to deal with.

In addition, the reply of Giovanni, the magistrate of Gao Wenfang, was also unceremoniously worded, "Your accusations are groundless, because there has never been a Nikitas party, just as there is no Callegos party." ”

So Dedo wrote another letter, "The Callegos party is instructed by others, it has nothing to do with us, and the whole of Panphelia is innocent. ”

Giovanni wrote again, "Since the Callegos bandits were able to pass through Panphyria, who can guarantee that there are no other bandits in Panphyria?" ”

While the two sides were engaged in a fierce battle between the two sides, Raymond of Laudisia was furious when he learned that the "Callegos Party" he had sent out had suffered such damage, and organized more outlaws to join them, traveling through the Panfelia region to Iconium to loot and destroy - and Giovanni also instructed a considerable number of members of the "King James Oghuz Family" to go to Panphylia on horseback and along with the Nikitas to rob and guerrilla everywhere.

Soon the rich Panphelia region was full of wolves: Callegos was bound to fight to the death when he met Nikitas, but Callegos wanted to grab the land for supplies, and Nikitas also grabbed the land to cut off the supply lines against his opponents.

Killing and killing, within a month, more than twenty market towns in the jurisdiction of Brenus were burned down. This kind of small-scale and indecisive armed guerrilla warfare is better than a large-scale decisive battle against the destruction of the economy and people's livelihood.

"Killing and killing, why are we all unlucky?" Dai Duo was annoyed, (to be continued~~)
