Section 95 Battle (Ask for the first order)
In early summer, the wind direction is northerly, the temperature is between 20~~16 degrees, it is the time when the vegetation is lush, the shepherd herds the sheep on the hills, the melodious song does not know where the road comes from, on the plain covered with green, two mercenary troops are lined up, they represent their respective noble employers, and today they will compete in this place thousands of miles away from home.
Captain Rudolph's mercenaries are mostly Germanic, they are good at using heavy weapons such as axes and clubs, and they are wrapped in armor captured on the battlefield all year round, these Germanic mercenaries have a fierce face, almost all of them have scars on their faces, and the mutilated fingers do not prevent them from chopping axes on the heads of enemies, and they have long been accustomed to facing war.
On the other hand, the Swiss mercenaries led by Arold, these mercenaries from the mountains, the hard life has forged their strong physique, and tenacious character, and at the same time, the companions from the community of the same state are people who have grown up together since childhood, they will never abandon their partners in battle, the spears in their hands are close together, and the comrades who are shoulder to shoulder are the most reassuring.
"Lord Arrod, according to the traditional customs of the nobility, I still regret what happened today." Before the battle, Robert and Arold followed the tradition of private battles of the nobles, each with a squire with a heraldic flag representing themselves, in the center of the position to negotiate peace, if the peace talks were successful, the nobles were willing to compromise then they would let the soldiers go home, but if they could not negotiate, then they could only speak with the sword.
"When you kidnapped Lady Eva, you should have seen this day." Arold scoffed at Robert's hypocrisy.
"If you are willing to surrender, I can put Lady Eva back. And you can get these poor kids home. Robert sneered at the Swiss who were holding only a spear and no armor.
"Huh. It's a pity that these people want to meet your minions, but instead I would advise you to plan ahead. Arrod replied unceremoniously.
"Hmph. It seems that we have nothing more to talk about, so belligerent landless count, may God forgive your soul. The birthmark on Robert's face twisted, and he stretched out his finger and pretended to make a cross in front of Arrod, then turned his horse's head and rode away towards his position.
"We'll see." Arold rolled his eyes and turned his horse's head back to the rear of the Swiss pikemen, and when the two nobles in charge returned to their side, the two mercenary teams shouted at the same time, knowing that the war was about to begin.
"Shit. Pigs, hybrids ~~~. Out of the mercenaries on Rudolph's side, a loud man, dressed in a worn leather armor, with a short-handled axe in his right hand and a small log shield in his left, opened his mouth and cursed at the ranks of the Swiss, who laughed in the midst of the curses, pointing at the Swiss in every provocative way.
"Hmm." But the Swiss don't seem to be good at scolding. Their brows furrowed, their muscles tense, their faces serious, their lips pursed.
"I'll do it anyway." Arold looked at the Germanic mercenary who was turning over and over a few curses. He kicked the horse's belly under his crotch with his heel, took a few steps forward, and then ripped his voice open and cursed. "Your mother didn't clamp you guys tightly, I don't know where the road came from. Look at your-like hairstyle, do you think you are the reincarnation ~~~~~ Sister Feng? ”
Speaking of swearing, who still has Arrod, a person from the afterlife. The vocabulary was rich and colorful, and he opened his mouth to scold for half an hour, and he did not bring the same thing, which opened the ears of the warring parties, and the Germanic mercenary who tried to continue to scold back, opened his eyes wide and stammered a few words in response, and then fled, he did not expect a nobleman to scold this ruthlessly.
"Vulgar, uneducated, disgrace to the nobility." Robert trembled on his horse, which was annoyed by Arrod, who had just said that he was already the son of several animals, and the monk next to him listened to it with relish, and disagreed with Robert's accusations, the nobles were originally a group of vulgar warlords, and only pretended when needed.
"Oh hmm~~~." This time there was a laugh from the Swiss team, and Arrod's scolding really relieved them, and their morale suddenly soared a lot, but the Germanic mercenaries calmed down, and this kind of scolding was not pleasant.
"Order Captain Rudolph to attack." Dean Robert gritted his teeth fiercely, and his hands tightened the reins of the horse, and with such force that the skin of his hands turned white, and he could not bear it anymore and ordered to attack.
"Attack, attack." Captain Rudolph roared, his axe in hand, his iron-clad leather armor rattling as he led the Germanic mercenaries to trot behind him, forming a loose formation.
"Steady, steady." Seeing that his scolding had played a mocking role, Arold began to attack first, and he immediately asked Captain Johnberg to let the Swiss brigade stabilize its position, and try to let the Germanic mercenaries consume their physical strength.
The Germanic people gradually changed from trotting to fast running, although they were wearing all kinds of armor, but their strong physique made them unable to feel the weight of the armor, every mercenary who had been on the battlefield several times would know that when they felt that the armor on their body was heavy, it was that they were about to die, and their souls were summoned by the Lord and were no longer in the world.
"Rush." Captain Rudolph pointed at the axe in his hand and shouted to the mercenaries beside him, and the others fell into a state of madness under his leadership.
"Gun~~." Seeing that the enemy was approaching within a hundred paces, John Berg gave the order, and the first platoon, which was relatively well equipped, squatted down and pointed its guns diagonally upwards, while the second platoon, with helmets and no armor, protruded their spears from the shoulders of their comrades in the first row, and in the last row were the Swiss, who were not equipped except for one gun, and their spears were placed at a 45-degree angle above their companions, ready to be replenished, and this forest of guns was like a hedgehog in front of the Germans.
"Oh~~." The Germanic man, who was running too fast, swung his axe and slammed it into the Swiss gun, and with a terrible howl hung on the head of the gun, and under him a Swiss mercenary drew his short knife and plunged it into his jaw, ending the torturous howl.
"Watch out for their spears and avoid them." After all, Captain Rudolph had a lot of combat experience, and he squinted his eyes at the spear array in front of him, although he had never seen this kind of fighting, but he quickly gave the right order.
"Oh~~." The Germans heard Rudolph's order, and hurriedly slowed down their pace, they used the shields in their hands to protect their faces, and used their strong bodies to squeeze into the gun array, and the experienced mercenaries knew that once the spear was close to the side, it was not as flexible as the axe.
"Rear addition." But John Berg was not in a hurry, he immediately gave an order to the rear of the team, and the Swiss mercenaries in the rear immediately put down their spears, put them on the shoulders of their companions in front, and then poked down fiercely, stabbed one person and pulled back, and then stabbed down so hard that even the enemy who ran into the guns of the Swiss mercenaries could not escape the fate of casualties.
"There are more and more enemies." Julian watched anxiously at the influx of enemies, these Germanic mercenaries were so fierce that even if a companion was poked and let out a terrible howl, they could not be shaken.
"Prepare to retreat." Arold watched from behind as he saw the waves crashing at the Swiss pike, and he felt that he could begin to carry out his plan, so he turned his horse's head and walked to the rear.
"The first row takes cover, the others retreat." John Berg immediately gave Arrod's order, the Swiss mercenaries in the first row pointed their guns at the incoming enemy, so that the other companions behind him could leave, this kind of retreat can only be completed by the elites of the first row, if it was an ordinary team would have broken up because of Arold's order, but the Swiss were different, they acted strictly according to the plan.
"The enemy fled, the enemy fled." Seeing that under the onslaught of their own side, the Swiss actually began to retreat, and Arold with the banner of the black lion had already galloped away, they did not notice that Arold's flag was not lowered or upside down, but they thought that victory was in hand, after all, they had rich experience in war, and the other party looked like a rookie who had just entered the battlefield.
"Wait, wait." The only one of them who was still in control of himself was the captain Rudolph, who felt that victory had come too easily, but the red-eyed Germanic mercenaries ignored his dissuasion, not to mention the fact that they had found many small silver houses in the position of the Swiss, which made the mercenaries who regarded their fortune as their fate could not stand stopping and picking up, and this delay gave the Swiss time to escape.
"Why don't you take advantage of the victory and chase after it." Dean Robert rode up to Rudolph, and he couldn't help but rejoice when he looked at the defeated Swiss.
The men on both sides stopped and stopped, and whenever the Germans were about to stop the group, the Swiss would suddenly appear and stab a few Germans with their spears, and then quickly flee with their spears between them, which made the thunderous Germanic mercenaries angry at these despicable Swiss.
"What is this place?" When they finally came to their senses, they found themselves in a strange territory, where the Swiss no longer ran away. (To be continued......)
