Chapter 17: The Responsibility of the Grand Guild
Chaotian Jiaojiao is a veteran compared to Lu Qingru, but her equipment is not very good. She's been wandering around in "The Second Realm", and she hasn't gotten any gold coins? That's naturally not the case, she just exchanged most of the gold coins she earned to subsidize her family. Improve food, improve the quality of clothing and cosmetics, participate in club activities, etc.
On the northward journey, Chaotian Jiaojiao meets her acquaintance, a knight in silver armor. Lu Qingru drooled as he looked at the appearance of the knight beside him, this knight was wearing a beautiful armor, the inner shirt exposed at the corners was sky blue, and the white war horse was extraordinary.
Chaotian Jiaojiao saw that the passing knight was someone she knew, and just wanted to say hello to the other party. I didn't expect the other party to get off the horse and walk with me. "Sister Farel, are you going to the battlefield to the north? Go ahead, you won't be able to catch up with anything if you walk slowly with us. ”
The armored knight smiled and said, "Originally, I just came to see the excitement, and there is nothing that I can't catch up." Chaotian Jiaojiao: "Yes, maybe it's all over now." By the way, why did my sister come over? "I was dating a handsome guy, but I heard that something big was going on, so I came back." ”
Lu Qingru wanted to interject and ask, how much does a knight cost? I want to work hard with this appearance as my goal. Farel: "The fight hasn't started yet, so let's speed up a little bit and we should be able to catch up with this excitement." Chaotian Jiaojiao didn't quite understand, "It's been a long time since they've passed." Farel: "It is said that Noros's team set up camp halfway through, and they should be considered unlucky. ”
Only then did Lu Qingru know what had happened during the time when he was learning skills, buying equipment, and asking for help in Eisenholm City. It seems that when he communicated with Yue Leng Xinghan before, he said that safety first should refer to this.
Yue Leng Xinghan had previously instructed Lu Qingru to pay attention to safety when he came over to rendezvous, he thought that Lu Qingru knew about the northward movement of this crusading army, after all, Lu Qingru and they were all from Eisenholm.
Chaotian Jiaojiao was a little puzzled: "Why is it unlucky to camp?" Wouldn't it be more unlucky to go forward stupidly? Fareel explained: "The main force of the team on the Empire's side is four relatively large guilds, and the command efficiency of the four cooperative operations is not as good as that of a unified command. It's like where to use as the main battlefield, what method to use to entangle this light cavalry, and who will bear the wrath of the Norosians, these are not easy to decide. If it's okay to say it, the commander decides that everyone will carry it out. It would be troublesome for the four families to come together, and no one would be willing to bear the charge of the cavalry head-on. The move of the Noros to camp provided decision-making time for this temporary alliance. ”
Farel's words made a lot of sense, but she was only half right. The Four Guild Alliance ahead was doing better than she had imagined. At the beginning of the northward march, the coalition forces set up a temporary command center, and soon formulated a plan of operation after receiving information that the other side was camping and resting.
The four families brought a total of more than 1,000 people this time, but each family only counted 250 people as the number of participants in the battle, and the rest were disbanded. Each family will take out 250 gold coins as a death pension, and each fallen soldier can receive one gold coin, and the remaining gold coins will be returned to the four families equally after the battle. This method largely solves the problem of the dead friends not dying and the poor way.
For example, none of the A and B families died, and the C and D families were wiped out. Then family A and family B paid 125 gold coins for the other two families each. There are a large number of people on your side, and it is unlikely that such a thing will happen completely, but after all, there will be a difference in the size of the damage. This way of compensating gave the four teams the courage to resist the cavalry charge head-on, without worrying about bleeding themselves and others eating meat.
In the end, the Iron Blooded Fearless Mercenary Group and the Continent Guild of the Overlord took over the task of resisting the cavalry head-on after winning an additional 40 gold casualties compensation. The Dominating Guild is on standby in the woods to the east, and the Brotherhood is on standby in the groves to the west. A death squad of 160 men then set off towards the Nolos camp. Farel: "Pepper, we need to hurry up, the show seems to be about to start." ”
Lu Qingru and the others rushed to a crowded place, where there was a lot of chaos. This is the main battlefield? When Lu Qingru and Chaotian Jiaojiao looked around, Fa Ruier and a few people reconciled.
While listening to Fariel talking to his friends, Lu Qingru figured out the situation. This messy crowd here is not the team of the Four Guilds, the main team of the Four Guilds is in the valley on the other side of the hillside. Those who maintained order on the scene were members of the Four Guilds. The four guilds said that they would fight the first wave of bloodshed, and everyone could eat the subsequent meat. But I hope everyone cooperates and does not show up in advance, it is not good for everyone to surprise the enemy. When the Noros entered the encirclement, everyone could climb over the hillside and kill the enemy.
Thousands of people had gathered on this side of the hill, and everyone was itching. However, there is no unified command, and the combat effectiveness of these thousands of people should not be as high as the one thousand people on the other side of the hill. These four guilds can be regarded as big guilds, and no one wants to offend them if they don't have to, and what they say makes some sense. As soon as a large number of people went there, the Norosians turned around and ran, and everyone came in vain. Wouldn't it be beautiful for a thousand elites to hold down the Noros cavalry on the other side of the hill, and then everyone rushed up, and everyone had meat to eat? Even if you don't get a kill, as long as you hit an effective kill, you will get a merit.
Lu Qingru saw that Farel's companions also had two people wearing armor similar to hers, and these people were all members of the Blue Rose Knights. Lu Qingru didn't have any idea about the four large guilds on the other side of the hill, but he was very interested in the well-dressed knights in front of him, which was too cool. In Lu Qingru's mind, this Blue Rose Knights should be one of the top guilds in the Lodge Empire.
There was a commotion when Faruiel's friend was explaining the current situation, and Lu Qingru didn't know what was happening, but the result was obvious. The people began to run towards the top of the hillside, despite the obstruction of those left behind by the Four Guilds to maintain order.
Faruil and the others, who followed the crowd to the top of the slope, did not rush down. Lu Qingru saw an unforgettable scene for him, hundreds of cavalry rushed down, and there was an infantry phalanx at the back of the valley floor. The infantry side was very close to the valley floor, and they placed the array on the slope on Lu Qingru's side.
The galloping horses and the scene of the cavalry charging Lu Qingru and Chaotian Jiaojiao had experienced it up close, but they didn't see the whole picture of the cavalry charging at that time. Now it's very shocking. When Lu Qingru and the others came to the slope, the Noros cavalry was already very close to the infantry formation.
The first half of the infantry formation was full of long-handled weapons, spears, halberds, and axes of about three meters...... The infantry steadied their horses and pressed the tail end of their spears against the ground behind them, and the barrels of their spears moved forward at an angle of more than 30 degrees to the ground.
The fighters at the rear of the infantry were armed with javelins, and it seemed that they should be a group of warriors who were proficient in throwing skills. After a chorus, the grenadier threw his javelin. Hundreds of javelins floated like a ribbon to the waves of the cavalry. In just an instant, nearly 100 cavalry were penetrated and then fell off their horses, and many horses neighed and struggled.
But this resistance could not completely dissolve the momentum of the cavalry, and a large number of cavalry still crashed into the spear formation. The crackling of the barrels of the spears was incessant, and a large number of light cavalry and their horses were pierced by the fire of guns, but the dead warriors and horses still smashed the infantry formations in the front rows with the help of inertia.
This scene was like a huge wave smashing into a large sandcastle, the wave turned into a little flying flower, and the sandcastles in the front row were also shattered.
Lu Qingru stood on the top of the slope and saw that at that moment, there were many points of light floating into the air, which were the souls of the fallen soldiers who were leaving the battlefield.
The infantry phalanx in the valley paid a heavy price and stopped the cavalry's momentum, and at the same time, the ambushes in the woods on both sides were also killed, because the four guilds did not pass the qi before the assembly and departure, so the warriors brought by each family were of similar composition, most of them were long-handled weapons and throwing masters.
The Nolos cavalry was charging when they saw a sudden mass of enemies on the top of the hill, but the first wave of the attack was about to make contact and would not stop. When they discovered that there were also Lodge ambushes on both flanks, the remaining Noros cavalry began to turn their horses and charge towards the circuit.
The ambushes on both sides ran with all their might, but in the end they could not complete the encirclement. Hundreds of Nolos cavalry broke out of the encirclement and did not hesitate to run to the north.
The Noros cavalry, which fell into the crowd, rushed hard, but the speed of the horses could not be increased. In this scorching melee, the cavalry was not much more effective than the infantry. The condescending Noros cavalry had the upper hand in a single sword and shot, but in the blink of an eye, several spears were stabbed at him.
The battle at the bottom of the valley continued, but in the eyes of the group on the hillside, the battle was over. These dozens of people did not rush down with the large army, they came to observe. Farreel also had a lively discussion with his partner about what had just happened. Lu Qingru and Chaotian Jiaojiao listened to the discussion of the teachers around them like two good students. Fariel: They were discussing the impact of a charge from two hundred heavy cavalry. And what happens to the hedge of heavy cavalry and enemy light cavalry.
