Chapter 270: The First Arrow

Although this move was a bit uncourteous, the sense of estrangement disappeared, and the scene suddenly became much more harmonious.

Some mercenary captains who are good at gags on weekdays have gradually let go, and the hall of the City Lord's Mansion at this moment is like a large and bright tavern. Everyone has something to say, but they don't hold it anymore.

Morey also lost no time in giving the mercenary captains a surprise.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after this matter is completed, I will prepare another generous gift!"

Hearing that there was still a benefit, these captains immediately smiled and roared in unison: "I am willing to be the commander of the horse!" ”

The commander was just a temporary position, but since Morey resisted the beast tide and caught the murderer of the governor, the word "temporary" was finally removed, and Morey was still the commander-in-chief of the fleet that they publicly recommended, and the word "commander" naturally had such two meanings at this time, thinking of the old things when they worked together to resist the pirate coalition on the Black Sea, the distance between the officers and soldiers of Red Leaf City and the mercenaries seemed to be shortened all of a sudden.

......

As the city closest to the Bicester Mountains and the first to be attacked by the beast tide, the Joseph family sent 1,500 men to rush over, and they gave up a few acres of land to join the large plots in order to ensure a piece of the feast.

"This time there is the variable of Red Leaf City, and the rules of the past don't work, I advise you to prepare for the worst, and take a little bit is a little! This Orb City may be our only chance with the least arable land! ”

The so-called disadvantage of not listening to the old man's words is in front of them, and they naturally will not ignore the opinions of the head of the family who has gone through the turmoil.

It's just that......

"The head of the house, you want to let it, but you didn't expect people to eat it all!"

Looking at the army of banners on the opposite side, Benjamin said with a bitter face.

"Who's ahead, get out of here! This is the Red Leaf City Militia Battalion, give you 10 minutes, if you don't leave our guard area, we'll call over! ”

Although he didn't know when the warning zone of Red Leaf City, which was more than a hundred miles away, was drawn here, Benjamin still stopped with the team.

"My lord, are we going to leave like this?" The subordinates looked a little angry.

There are so many ownerless lands after this beast tide, how can their Joseph family also be one of the leaders of the Far East, not to mention eating them all, there is no problem in picking a fat one to eat!

However, as soon as the head of the house gave the order, they rushed to the city of Orb, which had the least and most barren land, but in the end they found that the land had already been occupied, which made them a little unacceptable.

"Why, can you still lead these rabble under your command to defeat them?"

"It's just militia, we ......"

The subordinates looked at Benjamin, whose eyes were getting more and more stern, and gradually became speechless.

"Militia? Hehe, that's the militia of Red Leaf City! If someone is so strong, will I retreat? ”

Looking at the well-disciplined and neatly lined militia troops opposite, and then looking at the rabble behind him who had spent a lot of money, Benjamin somewhat hated it, how could you not even compare with the militia!

Then a trace of fear rose in his heart, it had only been a long time, it turned out that Morey had to use the city guards to defeat them, and now some militiamen who had only been trained for a long time could already deter them. If this is for him to develop for a while, this holy spear kingdom ......

"Let's go!" Thinking that this class of Benjamin was no longer nostalgic, he was the first to pull the reins and turn the horse's head and take the lead in returning.

When his subordinates saw that their bosses had done this, they had no choice but to follow.

Soon these menacing Joseph family troops withdrew at a faster pace.

And outside the city of Serre, the two forces are also facing off.

One unit was tightly formed, while the other, which looked like a coalition force, was noticeably looser.

"Who's ahead, get out of here! This is the Red Leaf City Militia Battalion, give you 10 minutes, if you don't leave our guard area, we'll call over! ”

It's the same rhetoric, but the result seems to be different.

"What? The militia battalion also dares to Zara! A delicate aristocratic young master sat in the carriage and was obviously a little unconvinced.

When was a militia battalion still so awesome? Don't you know that these are the elite troops of the garrison city?

"But they seem to be better equipped than our troops!" A little nobleman said weakly.

The hammer forging plate armor on the opposite side of the water is obviously more convincing than the leather armor on his side.

"Hmph, when, combat power only depends on equipment? In this way, we will all stop fighting, and it is not easier to let go of the arsenal than to compare who has more weapons, isn't it? The noble young master was obviously not convinced.

It's just that anyone can hear the strong jealousy in it, and the rest of the people can understand his thoughts.

You said that your city guards should change their plate armor, and even the militia battalion of this reserve has changed their plate armor, aren't you slapping us in the face?

"Although Daryl is not entirely right, I don't believe that Morey dares to risk the world's condemnation and really dare to fight!"

"Get the go, rush forward at full speed, and be sure to enter the city of Serre! We must divide half of the land of the city of Serre! ”

"What if they stop it?"

"What you have in your hands is dry! If those mud-legged people dare to stop them, they will beat me to death! ”

Soon the order was given, although the opposite side seemed to be in a tight position, but their numbers were no longer inferior, and they didn't believe that Morey really dared to make a move, so they rushed over with a roar.

Just looking at that fearless momentum, it's really quite bluffing.

"Fearless to the ignorant!" Morey was not annoyed, and said to Johnson with a smile: "Say hello to these boys!" ”

"Subordinates obey!" Johnson bared his white teeth, flashing with a cold killing intent.

Looking at the militia of Momiji City, which was becoming more and more motionless, the little nobles became more and more sure of their judgment.

"Crossbowmen ready!"

As soon as the crossbowmen heard this, they immediately prepared the repeating crossbows, which had been wound long ago.

"30 degrees to the left, ready!"

Wow!

Countless arms swayed in unison, rising high, and the arrows revealed a cold light upward.

"Sir?" Naturally, the actions of the militia battalion could not be concealed from the aristocratic coalition troops that were rushing over.

"Don't be afraid, that's just a bluff! I don't believe he dared to put the first arrow! Daryl said affirmatively, although he was also a little uneasy, but thinking of those contiguous lands, he immediately suppressed the insecurity in his heart.

"Rush me, speed up!"

The whole team seemed to have been whipped suddenly, and rushed at a faster speed, and the cavalry, which had been following on both flanks, stood out as the vanguard.

Johnson looked at all this coldly, until the next second, his raised hand slashed down: "Let's go!" ”

Sou!

Suddenly there was a fast-moving dark cloud in the sky, and it stabbed fiercely from the air towards the rapidly charging cavalry.

Yes!

Almost instantly, the thousand-man cavalry force that the crowd had pieced together fell to at least 200 people.

Seeing this miserable scene, the remaining cavalry stopped their horses one after another, looked at each other and didn't know whether to fight or retreat for a while.

Didn't you say that Morey didn't dare to shoot the first arrow?

What's going on?

But Morey didn't let them go so easily, and he had to beat them up and beat them so hard that they didn't dare to blow them up.

"Go on, 30 degrees to the left, get ready!"

Hearing the commander's order, the crossbowmen reflexively raised the crossbow again.

"Put!"

Sou!

This round of arrow rain finally made the cavalry troops crying for their father and mother wake up, and they no longer care about the master's previous orders, and leave this decisive situation as if fleeing for their lives.

When they fled back to the position of the rear army, they found that they had lost most of them, and that the cavalry force of 1,000 men had only escaped back with 400 men.

"Forward!"

Johnson gave an order, and the militia battalion slowly moved forward, looking at the militia battalion with the sword out of the sheath and the wreckage of the cavalry full of arrows that swooped down on the ground, Daryl had to shout indignantly: "Withdraw!" ”
