Chapter 5: The First Battle
As for retreating, Gu Feicang didn't think about it, but now that the cold winter is coming, the wind and snow in the north are sweeping, not to mention how dangerous it is for the orc clan to go south, how dangerous it is outside the wild, let's just say that there is no place to hide from the cold in the wild, Gu Feicang is not a powerful fighter or magician, and he is alone, I am afraid that he will freeze to death if he can't last long.
Besides, Gu Feicang is not dead now, he will definitely return to Baishi City in the future, return to the Cross Kingdom, and now he has a military order, if he leaves the Baiye outpost here, I am afraid that it will be a disobedience to the military order, and the crime of desertion will fall on his head, and it will be difficult to escape death at that time.
In the end, after all, the castle space only provides initial resources, among which the gold coins are okay, the council hall can produce five hundred gold coins per day, and the water mill can be obtained by slowly grinding down, but others, such as wood and stone, magic crystal and magic core, can not be obtained by relying on the castle space, he must obtain a base as soon as possible, and the white field outpost is just suitable.
Therefore, looking at the kobolds who were getting closer and closer, Gu Feicang not only had the idea of quietly retreating after they passed, but even had the idea of annihilating this group of kobolds in his heart.
Gu Feicang and the fourteen pikemen cautiously crawled in the grass, staring at the kobold sacrifice with their eyes, the pikemen and Gu Feicang had the same heart, knowing Gu Feicang's purpose, seeing that the kobold was getting closer and closer, one by one was like a tight bowstring, ready to go.
Finally, as if it was the favor of the goddess of luck, seeing that the white field outpost was close in front of them, the kobold people who were originally surrounding the kobold sacrifice also immediately cheered, this is the commonality of everyone returning to the family, defenseless, and the whole body is relaxed.
Although the pikemen are only a first-level soldier at the level of fighter apprentice, they are experienced in a hundred battles, and this relaxation is only a moment, but it is enough for them.
I saw that the two pikemen's sturdy and slender thighs were as powerful as the hind legs of frogs, and all kinds of them kicked on the ground, and the whole person was like a cannonball, rushing towards the kobold sacrifice that showed flaws, and at the same time, the eight pikemen also followed, forming a formation, rushing towards the other kobolds, and the other four pikemen firmly surrounded Gu Feicang in the center.
In an instant, attacking, covering, defending, the fourteen pikemen were as accurate as calculators, and their movements were exactly the same, as if the fourteen people shared a brain.
Such a swift and accurate attack immediately caught the kobold off guard, seeing the sharp spear stabbing towards his chest, the old kobold priest widened a pair of cloudy eyes, disbelief, his mouth let out a mournful roar, and his staggering legs couldn't stop his hind legs, trying to avoid the spear in front of him.
At the same time, the rough staff in his hand was also raised, the magic crystal inlaid on the staff shimmered with dazzling light, and the kobold's sacrificial mouth, the ancient and mysterious grunt echoed in the foothills, wanting to release a powerful attack totem to kill the despicable human race in front of him.
Although the reaction speed of the kobold sacrifice is already very fast, but in the end, he is just an old mage, not a brave kobold warrior, and in such a situation, he can't get away from the iron spear of the pikemen, not to mention, in order to kill the kobold sacrifice, two pikemen shot at the same time, completely blocking his retreat, even if he can avoid one of them, it is absolutely impossible to avoid both attacks.
Seeing the kobold's sacrificial hind legs, even a pikeman let out a neat shout, a big stride, the spear stabbed suddenly, poof, the sharp spear instantly pierced the kobold's chest, and his mouth, which was still chanting incantations, suddenly gushed out of rolling blood.
The eyes full of unwillingness and cloudy eyes suddenly dimmed, and the body spasmed a few times, losing the breath of life.
The death of the kobold sacrifice instantly stunned these kobolds, plus from the very beginning, these pikemen caught them off guard, the two combined, not to mention that the strength of the pikemen was still above them, and soon, only a few puffs were heard, and three more kobolds died in the hands of the pikemen.
Such a succession of deaths finally made this small kobold react, only to see them roaring and screaming, picking up the weapons in their hands and killing the pikemen and Gu Feicang, at the same time, the kobolds in the Baiye outpost also found the battle not far away, and rushed down one by one.
Seeing this, the pikemen instantly formed a formation, a group of six, lined up in two rows, formed a rush formation, and fought with the kobolds, while the remaining two were firmly guarding Gu Feicang's surroundings, not leaving an inch.
Speaking of which, the number of kobolds is almost the same as that of pikemen, although the strength of pikemen is strong, but kobolds are not weak, however, now, kobolds are not as strong as pikemen because of the kobolds' sacrifice and death, and they themselves are not the elite of the orc race, so they are naturally not as strong as pikemen.
I saw that the pikemen speared like a dragon, and every impact could take the lives of several kobolds, but in just a few rounds, nearly half of the kobolds had been killed.
However, pikemen are not without their weaknesses, holding a three-meter-long spear gives them a strong offensive ability, but similarly, once they are close to them, their lethality will also be weakened.
At the beginning of the battle, those kobolds who used spears could not compete with the pikemen because of the attack distance, and were quickly killed by the pikemen, but those who used knives and daggers were often more dexterous, and once they got close, they also brought a lot of damage to the pikemen, but after a moment's effort, the pikemen were also wounded one by one.
However, after all, the kobold was gone, even if they fought to the death, they were only dying, and in the end, they were all wiped out by the pikemen.
After the battle, the pikemen were scarred, even Gu Feicang was embarrassed, and even one pikeman was pierced in the abdomen and was seriously injured, but because he had to protect Gu Feicang, who had no combat effectiveness, this pikeman was desperately protected, and finally paid the price of serious injuries.
Fortunately, after paying such a painful price, Gu Feicang's first battle was declared a complete victory, and after cleaning the battlefield, he did not find many kobolds in the Baiye outpost, Gu Feicang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the seriously injured pikeman and asked, "Soldier, are you okay with your injuries?"
