Chapter Forty-Eight: The Rabble
Jameel never expected in advance that Van Cleef actually had a backup move, so he slipped away. However, he didn't think this was a big problem, it was already the moment of the decisive battle, and with those people there, he couldn't show it.
As for the casualties on our side? Well, there is no so-called side at all, it's good that people on both sides are dead, and Stormwind City has to work hard to wipe their butts afterwards.
Of course, these words could not be said to his subordinates, except for his deputy.
"Simon." Jamil shouted in high spirits, and the bearded man crawled over.
"Brother-in-law." Simon shouted, Jamil's face suddenly changed, and he glared at him fiercely, and Simon was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth.
"Big Chief, what are your orders?" Simon smirked all over his face, and Jamil's face relaxed.
This Simon is his deputy, and he is also his brother-in-law, and they are the only two of the entire Defia bandit army who are sent by the "organization". In fact, the only real staff member is Jameel, and Simon was brought in by him, and there is no establishment, so he can only be regarded as a temporary worker.
However, all that will soon change, and once this operation is completed, he will climb to a high position, and Simon will be mixed into a full-fledged formation based on merit.
About this, Jameel is sure.
Don't underestimate that organization, once you enter the organization, you will be free from the law, why can't you get rich at that time?
"Simon, whether you can get into that position depends on today!" Jameel reminded in a deep voice.
Simon Yin smiled, his eyes shone with greed, and he replied loudly: "Big boss, I will do things, you can rest assured!"
Looking at his confident brother-in-law, Jamil nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand vigorously, and shouted loudly: "The whole army obeys the order, attacks according to the original plan, kills all these wastes, and robs their land, houses, and women!"
Jameel knew his subordinates and knew what could make their blood boil, and under his naked #naked incitement, the already excited bandit army immediately fell into a frenzy. Their eyes instantly turned red, like bloodthirsty hungry wolves, and under the stimulation of greed, a beastly cry burst out from their chests.
"Kill all these cowards and steal everything from them!"
Listening to the "ghost crying wolf" in the woods a kilometer away, the militia in the ruins of Yuexi Town fell into a deathly silence, their bodies trembling slightly as they clung to the farm tools used as weapons in their hands. This is their original home, and now only the ruins are left, and they are still robbed? What to grab? There's only one rotten life left!
"Leave them alone, the whole army is coming closer to me." Cheng Xiaotian stood up and shouted, and squatted down again after shouting. When the militia heard the order, they immediately surrounded Cheng Xiaotian and the five of them, and gathered them together.
Cheng Xiaotian squatted on the ground and beckoned, motioned for everyone to squat down, and asked an unfathomable question: "You guys, do you know what a rabble is?"
Everyone looked at each other, the enemy over there was about to be killed, what to do with this? However, out of politeness, the four leaders expressed their opinions separately.
Toruń, as a student and a military authority present, replied: "Lack of military training."
"Can't fight." Morfes's answer was simple and straightforward.
Count Fimi, who is much older, replied after a moment's deliberation: "I think it is not united enough."
Cheng Xiaotian nodded, "What you said is right, but you still haven't got to the point, the rabble refers to the army that lacks the belief in fighting." ”
"That's what I'm trying to say." Vanessa answered, and the four of them rolled their eyes at the same time.
At this moment, the shouting and killing from the east suddenly intensified, and everyone stood up and looked, only to see the black pressing a crowd of people, pouring out of the woods, huddled in a ball, pushing and shoving towards this side
The enemy, at last, launched a general offensive.
Their clothing and formation are all disorderly, and their weapons are also varied, and they don't even have the banner of command, seeing that Cheng Xiaotian can't help but shake his head, just such a group of people can actually cause trouble in the western wilderness for so many years.
"Nothing to look at." Cheng Xiaotian shouted, his tone seemed to be a little displeased, and the militiamen hurriedly squatted down again. I have to say that his reputation is very effective, and when the militia saw that the commander-in-chief Cheng Xiaotian was so calm, their hearts were suddenly relieved.
Cheng Xiaotian coughed and continued: "The enemy is so crazy, it's just for money, but war is to be exchanged for sacrifice, and in the face of death, money is insignificant, so no matter how loud they shout, they are still a rabble who lack the will to fight." In this respect, we are far stronger than the enemy. ”
Cheng Xiaotian's words made everyone nod again and again, falling into deep thought.
"I see, everyone is ready to fight." Vanessa said.
"No!" Cheng Xiaotian categorically vetoed, looked at Vanessa and said solemnly: "I will arrange a difficult task for you, that is, now, ride my horse and run towards Sentinel Ridge, pay attention, don't be too fast."
"Huh?" Vanessa was stunned.
Cheng Xiaotian looked left and right, snatched two felt hats from the top of the militia's heads, put one on his head, and the other on Vanessa's head, stood up and shouted loudly: "Wait for me to give the order, everyone will follow Ms. Vanessa's run, and you are not allowed to exceed it, otherwise the military law will deal with it!"
Before everyone could figure out Cheng Xiaotian's intentions, Cheng Xiaotian patted Vanessa's shoulder, pulled his neck and yelled: "Run!"
Vanessa did not hesitate, and a flash mounted her horse, and with a clamp between her legs, the horse neighed and trotted out. The militiamen were not ambiguous, they chased after them, and the ruins instantly became the starting point of the marathon.
"Chief, they ran away!"
Simon pointed at the "deserter" and yelled, Jamil was dumbfounded, what was going on? The two sides have been entangled in Yuexi Town for several years, Tang Jia Feimi has never retreated, why did they take the initiative to withdraw their troops today, are they afraid? But it's useless to think about this, what should you do, what do you have to do, hurry up and chase it.
"Brothers, go after them and slaughter these little lambs!" Jameel yelled in frustration.
The two sides are a few hundred meters apart, and it is believed that they will soon be able to catch up, which the rebels who were carried away by the glory and wealth have no doubt.
"They're catching up." One of the trailing militiamen shouted.
There were more enemies than expected, and there were large groups of them, all wielding sharp blades, fierce and vicious, shouting and screaming for the militia to stop and be slaughtered. Being chased behind by such a large group of people, I am afraid that few people can be calm.
"My lord, why don't we fight?" Torun and Cheng Xiaotian ran side by side and asked dissatisfiedly. The personnel on both sides are about the same, and the combat power is ...... The combat power is like that, and in his mind, there is really no need to avoid war.
"You're not rabbits, don't run too fast, young master, I'm pressed behind, you're afraid of a leg!" Cheng Xiaotian followed behind the large army, wearing a broken felt hat, like a shepherd driving a flock of sheep, shouting at the militiamen, and only after the speed of the swarm stabilized did he look at Toruń.
At this moment, Cheng Xiaotian, who has always been in a bad shape, became very serious, and said in a low voice: "Soldiers are not chess pieces in the military chess deduction, they are not tools, but fresh lives, we need to win, but we can't waste our lives because of this."
"Your Excellency......" Toruń's lips twitched, unable to speak.
Cheng Xiaotian smiled and patted Torun on the shoulder, "Let's go to Sentinel Ridge, the battle will end there." ”
Sentinel Ridge is the seat of the Lord's Palace, where Count Fimi's family is located, however, no one questioned the location of this decisive battle, including Count Fimi, everyone unswervingly carried out Cheng Xiaotian's orders. (To be continued.) )
