Chapter 599: Prisoner
Jack watched this scene from the side, and he also felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The holy oil for two is not impossible to obtain with the financial resources of Carlos today, but Sir William obviously will not do so.
From this indication, it seems that the Lord may have mastered the secret of making holy oil.
And whether or not you can baptize a knight alone is also the difference between a big nobleman and an ordinary nobleman.
In the past, only three forces in the Wind Firefly Plain had this qualification.
But now, another new force is emerging!
……
Wharton Plains.
An army of four hundred men drove slowly on the meadow.
The tall and sturdy soldiers were bright-eyed and well-armed, half of them were wearing leather armor, and from the captain they were equipped with iron armor and crossbow arrows, and their horses' hooves were rumbling, and there were dozens of knights around them to patrol back and forth.
In the spear forest, there is a banner with a nobleman's family coat of arms on it, representing the identity of this army, which is a nobleman's private soldier.
On the blue flag, a shield-shaped coat of arms is depicted, marked by an olive branch and a cross sword, and if there are scholars and heraldic officers here, they can recognize the meaning of it at a glance, and it is the family coat of arms of the magical Lord Carlos, Sir William!
"My lord, if we go ten more miles ahead, we will reach the Earl's barracks, and a troop of cavalry will come to guide us!"
Wu Ming was wearing chain mail, riding on a black warhorse, looking into the distance.
Not long after, a cavalryman came running on a flying horse, announcing the latest news.
"Has the Great War begun?"
"Not yet!"
"The war hasn't started yet, so that's good!"
Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief: "Follow the other party's guidance, enter the barracks, and immediately call our hundred people!" ”
In order to silence the other nobles, Amelia sent a brigade of 100 men to serve the Count when she received the conscription order.
Obviously, without a noble leader, such a team will often not end well, and if the war starts, Bacheng will be cannon fodder.
Although Wu Ming's family has a big business, it is not so wasteful, so it is natural to take it back.
"Report!"
At this time, another Ranger came back with news: "On our left, about five miles away, an army has been attacked!" ”
Although the war has not yet begun, it is normal to send out mercenary groups, adventurers, and rangers to spy on each other's intelligence strength and harass the grain and grass line.
"Whose army was attacked?"
Wu Ming groaned and suddenly asked.
"Judging by the banner, it's Baron Terry from Nia Town!"
This reply surprised Wu Ming slightly, and then a smile appeared on his face: "How many of them are there?" ”
"About a hundred!"
"Call a squad of cavalry and follow me!"
Wu Ming roared, and with a cavalry of fifty people, he rushed towards Baron Terry.
The closer they got, the faint shouting of killing immediately came, and it became clearer and clearer.
He crossed a low mound and saw a scene - on the opposite plain, a team of more than a hundred men was being pursued by another team of equal numbers.
Although there were equal numbers on both sides, the militiamen on Baron Terry's side were ragged, armed with pitchforks and mallets, and their faces were full of panic.
On the other side is a combined brigade of mercenary groups and adventurers, not to mention equipment, at least the courage is quite commendable.
They drove Baron Terry's army, shouting like wolves, driving their prey to run and run, so that they could eat the slowest waves at all time.
Baron Terry has survived until now only because he still has a knight with him.
At the back of the line, a knight shrouded in black iron armor wielding a massive horn hammer roared, blocking most of the attack.
In the face of a real knight, those mercenaries and adventurers were naturally very jealous, holding bows and crossbows from afar, and suppressing them with bows and arrows.
Once a special crossbow is encircled, it is a huge threat even to the knights!
In Wu Ming's opinion, according to this trend, the best result for Baron Terry is to be protected by that knight, retreat with his whole body, and leave all the army here.
"Charge!"
After seeing this scene, he did not hesitate much and immediately gave an order.
"Ritsu!"
The roar of the horses and the burst into the battlefield with a cavalry of fifty men were a great shock to the commanders on both sides.
Immediately, after seeing the banner of the cavalry, Baron Terry's side suddenly burst into cheers, and the mercenary group began to riot.
Most of them are also infantry troops, so they naturally know the power of formed cavalry units in war!
It's a pity that now, even if it's too late to escape.
The commander of this mercenary group roared loudly, ordering the archers to stand back, and the spearmen to step forward, forming a simple phalanx.
"Didn't immediately run away and collapsed, very clever approach, but it's a pity ......"
Wu Ming sneered and waved his hand.
Woohoo!
Behind him, more than a dozen knights raised their crossbows and shot the arrows of death.
Burst!
A large amount of blood exploded in the spearman's hands, and perhaps only a few people were killed in this wave of attacks, but the casualties caused before the battle was engaged, immediately causing the entire spear array to begin to scatter and collapse.
"Kill!"
Wu Ming roared, and a huge sound almost spread throughout the audience.
His knight's spear was raised flat like an awl, and it stabbed into the phalanx.
Woohoo!
There were also sporadic rain of arrows on the opposite side, but unfortunately it was a joke for his armor, even if it was not armor-piercing, ordinary arrows could not penetrate his defenses at this time, and as soon as they penetrated the skin, they would be pinched and squeezed out by tough muscles.
And the amazing resilience, facing this kind of wound is like a mosquito bite, and there is no need to even bandage it.
Click! Click!
The torrent of steel swept away the opponent in one fell swoop, and under the horse's hooves, flesh and blood flew everywhere.
As early as the moment they met, the fate of the other party was already sealed.
Wu Ming's spear moved a few times, picked up a few mercenaries at random, and after seeing that the other party had completely collapsed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he chased after several horses.
In a bunch of infantry, those who can ride horses, except for the heralds, are senior commanders, and even generals!
As for the routs behind them, the guys who have completely lost the will to fight, even if Baron Terry kills back, it is enough to easily clean them up.
"The power of the people, amplification!"
In the gallop of the horse, Wu Ming's eyes flashed with gold, and a trace of power poured into the mount, forming a special amplification.
"Ritsu!"
The war horse he sat on was originally a pure-blooded breed, and when it was increased, its speed increased dramatically, and it caught up with the escapee in the blink of an eye.
"I'm Jaime, the leader of the Silver Eagle Mercenary Regiment, and I want to know who defeated me?"
Driven to the front by Wu Ming and intercepting the retreat, the cavalry reined in their horses, and seemed to have given up resistance, and the leader took off his helmet, revealing a handsome face about forty years old, and shouted in a deep voice.
"It is William Wallace, the lord of the Karos Lord, who has defeated you!"
Wu Ming replied in a loud voice: "Hand over your armor and weapons, and I will fulfill the sacred covenant and give you the treatment of a prisoner!" ”
"It turned out to be a legend of the spring martial arts competition, Lord Cloth Sword Saint!"
A wry smile appeared on the face of Jaime on the other side: "I believe in your character, my lord, and it is not a shame for me to be your prisoner...... It's just that I haven't lost my fighting spirit! ”
"Drive!"
As soon as the words fell, he immediately rode his war horse and bravely launched a charge.
Wu Ming pulled out the dragon heart long sword, and also rode forward, the two long swords met in mid-air, making a loud noise.
"Huh?"
The force in his hand made Wu Ming slightly moved.
The other party has obviously reached the limit of the race, but he has not been baptized with holy oil, but his skills are also quite good, and his combat power is comparable to that of knights.
It's just that all this is nothing in his eyes.
Bang!
With a slight exertion of all his strength, a single sword sent Jaime with an exclamation, and the sword in his right hand flew high into the air, plunging straight into the ground and deep into the turf.
Out of appreciation for his courage, Wu Ming did not kill him, but only knocked him unconscious with his scabbard.
Seeing that the regiment commander was taken down in a few moves, the other two mercenaries glanced at each other, especially when they saw the cavalry surrounding, they gritted their teeth and made a decision.
They turned over and dismounted, and handed over their long swords to Wu Ming: "We choose to surrender!" ”
"Very well, you will be treated as prisoners!"
Wu Ming called a few people, escorted them down, and immediately turned the horse's head to meet Baron Terry.
"Oh! William! You're really my lucky star, it's great to meet you! ”
The baron was riding a horse, wearing a plate armor on his body, and his cheeks were coated with some fat powder, looking very nondescript, but when he saw Wu Ming, a surprised smile appeared on his face.
"Long time no see, Lord Baron!"
Wu Ming greeted him.
"Thanks to you for saving me this time, I'm afraid I'll be a captive again!"
Baron Terry looked at the battlefield with a gloomy expression.
Immediately, he pointed to the knight next to him: "I'll introduce you, this is the knight of Auf!" ”
"Lord William!"
The black-armored knight took off his helmet, revealing a head like a bull, and the urn sound was authentic.
"Lord Auf!"
Theoretically, the other party is still at the same level as himself, and Wu Ming is also polite.
"Alas...... I kept the knight of Thakur in the territory, and now it seems that he should be brought with him......"
Baron Terry looked a little regretful.
The last war had obviously hurt his barony, and he hadn't recovered yet, and he had barely brought some farmers before, and he looked very shivering, and when he heard that Wu Ming had brought five hundred soldiers, the expression on Baron Terry's face was even more ashamed.
"By the way, I've captured the leader of the enemy army, it's Jaime, the head of the Silver Eagle, what is the Baron going to do with him?"
Wu Ming naturally immediately changed the topic.
"James?"
Baron Terry's expression was slightly puzzled, and when he saw the captive, his eyes lit up and he called out: "Jaime Wilfer? ”
