Chapter 36: Meeting on a Narrow Road (5)

Several ownerless hunters were wandering in front of the valley with the corpses of their horses, and a passing knight saw them and pulled the caravans back to their station.

Lord Deli himself gave them a funeral, somewhere in the forest behind them. Many soldiers were crying, they had lost their relatives, friends, even father and brother.

At night, Lord Deli did not feel sleepy, and led his guards around the camp over and over again.

Many mercenaries were talking about the battle at the mouth of the valley this morning. What they saw was Lord Deli letting the noble soldiers block the mercenaries' retreat routes, making them cannon fodder in battle.

Many nobles hired them for the purpose of using them as cannon fodder, but there is no other way that Lord Deli has done so thoroughly today.

"Brothers, do you see? This nobleman who has no bottom line, he even brazenly blocked the people of the Senmo mercenary group in the middle of the valley. Even so, they couldn't resist the killing Spree of Rog Town's security team. What are we here for? Money only. Not to die for the nobles. ”

"Don't say it, it's impossible for those two squadron big shield soldiers to stop such a crazy security group, they just want to block the Senmo mercenary group, and let our mercenaries fight to the death with the security group. And then they killed us together. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. I think that's the case. ”

"Let's go, these damned nobles. We leave the wasteland, and we don't earn this money. ”

"The security regiment is so strong, but it should still be a little inferior compared to the knights of the nobility. You say, what would happen if you sent charcoal in the snow? ”

"Bastard, where did you come from!" Lord Deli drew his knight's sword from his waist and rested it on the shoulder of the mercenary just now.

The mercenary was shocked and said to his companions beside him, "The nobles have killed people, the nobles have killed people." ”

Hu Cong was angry, looking at the mercenary who provoked him, and the knight's sword in his hand was pressed down, "hiss", and a wound from the neck to the back that could no longer heal.

……………………………

Early morning.

Chen Feng was leading his soldiers out to arrange a defense at the mouth of the valley when a scout ran over, "Colonel, they moved." ”

Chen Feng knew that the battle of the day had started again.

Lord Deli ordered the knights to urge the mercenaries to leave the camp and fulfill the mercenary agreement. But...... The mercenaries tried to find all sorts of excuses. Until the third pole of the sun, they stood on both sides of the line.

"This damn bunch of garbage without the spirit of contract is simply a waste of food!" A servant looked at the unmotivated mercenary from afar, with disdain in his heart.

Lord Deli first sent a squadron of light infantry and two squadrons of militia to form a phalanx, with the militia in front and the infantry in the rear. The infantry not only served as the main force of this phalanx, but also took care of killing deserters.

The militia consisted of peasants belonging to the barony, who were obliged to fight for the nobility for a pitiful ration.

"Forward, forward!" The sergeant major urged the militia in front to attack, while the soldiers on both sides held their shields at a forty-five degree direction to the sky.

"Boom..."

A few crisp sounds came from the shield in the soldier's hand.

They were already within range of the security regiments, and the peasants had only inferior spears or half-moon spears in their hands, and they could only sprint or slash to protect the soldiers on the side to get close to the enemy.

The only thing Lord Deli was confident in was that his soldiers were better equipped than the security regiments, and this was the only one who could break through the valley.

In the valley, the whirlwind squadron of the security regiment has already started a battle with this group of soldiers. Chen Feng gave most of the equipment to the Guards Squadron and the squadron of the Three Old Bachelors, the equipment of the Whirlwind Squadron was the lowest in the whole regiment, but they were the most fierce squadrons.

I saw a Whirlwind Squadron soldier who was besieged by many people and was pierced in the chest by a one-handed sword, but he grabbed the soldier's arm until his companion next to him looked at him as a two-piece and lay down in relief.

And the soldiers of the Whirlwind Squadron who had just killed a noble soldier were cut down to the ground by the surrounding noble army at this time. You came and went, and many corpses began to lie on the ground. The battlefield was cleared for hours last night, and now it's a mess again.

The Whirlwind Squadron was only two hundred men, and yesterday's battle had already cost them many people, and today, as the first troops to enter the battle, they greeted the strongest army of the nobles except for the knights.

Outside the valley, another squadron came, armed with spears and large shields, and the sound of the march was breathtaking.

"Get the militia into battle, and besides, have Steven support with ranged troops, and be sure to drag it until the knights are in the fight." Chen Feng said to the scout beside him, and after the order was given, the scout left.

In the middle of the mouth of the valley, Hunter and his most elite soldiers have blocked the three attacks of the noble army, and there are corpses lying around the ground, both from the security regiment and the noble army, most of which are the corpses of the noble militia.

The only weapons they counted as weapons, apart from a suit of clothes, were spears and dung forks.

……………………………

Lord Deli looked at the stalemate battlefield and found a group of mercenaries. He took out fifty light infantry equipment from the rear camp and thirty spearmen's equipment. Lord Deli ordered, "Either fight for me and fulfill the contract, or I will destroy you first before you charge into the valley, you pick one." ”

Leon was a man with two faces and three swords, and he was moved to see the eighty sets of equipment on the ground that only nobles could build and the hundred silver moons in his arms. After ordering his subordinates to discard the junk equipment and put on the equipment provided by Lord Deli, the momentum was renewed. Confidently said to Lord Deley, "Leave it to me, and I will lead all the mercenaries into the valley and capture the self-proclaimed colonel alive." ”

Leon led his men to the mercenary group's headquarters.

Leon was the strongest of the remaining more than 300 mercenaries, about 130 people, accounting for nearly half of the proportion, and Lord Deli subdued him first, and the mercenary group under him was used as the second echelon of the attack.

Leon pointed his weapon at the leader of a mercenary group of only a dozen people and said, "If you don't stand up again, I'll send you to see Marx." ”

The leader looked down on Leon, but his soldiers had to obey his orders if they wanted to survive. If you want a mercenary to obey orders, you must be stronger than him, otherwise they may become robbers at any time.

Leon was once a sergeant major of the noble light infantry, a petty officer. At this time, it was more than enough to lead a team of three hundred people, not to mention that he did not take them to fight, but to send them to death.
