Chapter 13: Barbarian Tribes
After learning the information, Viscount Hanks waved his hand, and three thousand men and horses immediately rushed across the border and killed a barbarian tribe.
The barbarian tribe is naturally not good at stubble, the local hometown, the terrain is familiar, there are barbarian warriors lurking on the side of the army early on, from time to time a flying axe is thrown from afar, killing one or two people, causing the soldiers to be terrified.
If it weren't for the Viscount's order to keep the knights under constant pressure, I'm afraid the camp would have been bombed long ago.
After all, most of the 3,000 troops were mud legs who had just crawled out of the fields, and after this battle, they had to go back to harvest the grain.
In the face of such a situation, Zhou Mingyue did not speak out, there were viscounts, many knights were there, and he had no right to speak.
Besides, if something really goes wrong, more than 200 peasant soldiers will defend it strictly, find a densely wooded place, and leave the war workshop, how to say that it can last for ten days and half a month.
Sneak attacks are just a trail after all.
After cruising in front of the knights, shooting short spears and killing more than a dozen barbarians, the road became easier after that, at least the barbarians did not lose their lives in vain.
However, when the standing soldiers dragged back the barbarian corpses and found some crudely made gold and silver ornaments from the corpses, the Viscount immediately claimed that the barbarian tribes were piled up with gold and silver.
Although anyone with a modicum of brains knew that this was impossible, the morale of the soldiers was still high.
People have dreams, what if there are really a lot of gold and silver treasures in the barbarian tribes?
After all, it has been rumored that there are many gold and silver veins in the wilderness.
Besides, aren't the gold and silver ornaments on the corpses of those barbarians just proof?
Zhou Mingyue also took advantage of the chaos to step forward and touch those gold and silver ornaments, and was shocked to find that not only the barbarian corpses were regarded as high-level advanced resources, but even the rough gold and silver ornaments on their bodies were regarded as relatively high-level gathering resources by the war workshop!
In other words, if you can find enough barbarian corpses and this kind of crude gold and silver jewelry, the War Workshop will greatly increase both the advancement and production speed.
As night wore on, Viscount Hanks stood near a hill less than half a day's walk from the barbarian tribe, and the standing soldiers ordered the farmers to set up camp.
Of course, with the war literacy of this world, it is not possible to reach the level of ancient China.
What to count the number of people, set up tents, set up a fortress outside the tent - the so-called earthen enclosure, the earthen enclosure is too late, at least a row of fences must be erected, a trench is dug outside, and deer antlers, wattles and so on are placed outside the trench, these are not available here.
The whole camping process was that Viscount Hanks set up a tent as a camp for the Chinese army, and the knights from all walks of life brought their soldiers around the tent, each lit a bonfire, and sent a few more posts outside to live.
As for what to do if it rains?
Isn't it raining yet?
Seeing the local indigenous army making the encampment mode that did not dare to compliment, Zhou Mingyue finally chose to leave temporarily.
Of course, the reason is to explore the reality of the barbarian tribes.
After leaving a word for the Temos Knight, Zhou Mingyue took his more than two hundred peasant soldiers and went straight to a small forest that he had been optimistic about.
The terrain of the wilderness area is dominated by large hills and valleys, with some trees growing on the hills, shrubs and small grassy patches between the hills, and occasionally deep valleys, karst caves, and so on.
This is one of the reasons why the Kingdom of Flor has never been able to conquer and occupy this place.
After entering the woods, Zhou Mingyue didn't care about the possible tail, let the peasant soldiers go out in a group, surrounded the place solidly, and threw the war workshop out.
He now understands that since his peasant soldiers can't stop the knight's charge, it can only mean that the number of people is not enough!
Explosive soldiers!
As the saying goes, no matter how cowhide's Storm Sword Master is, he will be drowned in the Sea of Skeletons.
The two workers worked hard, constantly cutting down trees and dragging them into the war workshop, Zhou Mingyue tried it at the gate of the war workshop and stepped into it.
Well?!!
Really can get in.
However, it was a little different from what he had imagined, and when he entered, he didn't see any black technology machines or magical creations in operation, just a white room with nothing in the room.
This did not disappoint him, at least in his opinion there was a relatively safe makeshift cabin.
Throw the prepared quilts, pillows, and other things into the white room, and a small nest will be formed.
After giving birth to 5 teams of peasant soldiers in one day, Zhou Mingyue was mentally exhausted and fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day, he went straight to the barbarian tribe with about 300 peasant soldiers.
When they arrived at the outskirts of the barbarian tribes, they saw from a distance that Viscount Hanks's army had just arrived, and the standing soldiers were urging the farmers to line up in a phalanx, while the knights were all gathered around Viscount Hanks, looking at the terrain in front of them and discussing seriously.
The barbarian tribe lived in a valley, and a wall was built at the entrance to the valley, and due to the steep terrain on both sides of the valley, it temporarily prevented humans from trying to attack the valley from above.
Many barbarian warriors wearing animal skins, holding stone spears, stone axes, and bone sticks stood on the stone wall at this time, looking at the humans who were gathering with solemn expressions.
Zhou Mingyue didn't go to Viscount Hanks to join in the fun.
At this time, fools know to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
It didn't take long for the knights to come to an idea.
Under the command of a knight, hundreds of peasants, armed with rudimentary wooden spears, rushed towards the stone wall, driven by the standing soldiers.
The stone wall is not very high, at most it is less than three meters.
But when those barbarian warriors saw the humans rushing over, they couldn't wait to jump down from the stone wall, and killed them one by one wielding bone sticks, stone axes, and stone spears.
The barbarian warriors who rushed over were not numerous, only a dozen or so, but they were extremely swift and rushed headlong into the dense spears of the peasants.
Even though several barbarian warriors were stabbed by more than a dozen spears and covered in blood, the weapons in their hands swept out, and then several farmers were smashed out of their mouths with blood, and by the time they fell to the ground, their internal organs were shattered and died!
As I said before, adult barbarian warriors are basically stronger than knights in terms of strength, how can these farmers withstand their violent blows.
The standing soldiers hid behind the phalanx at this time, and shouted as hard as they could, allowing the farmers to push them over.
If it weren't for the fact that the knights had said that the whole family of the escapees would have been executed, and the standing soldiers had supervised the formation with long knives in their hands, the peasants would have dispersed in a hurry at this time.
