Chapter 51: Victory
The sound of horses' hooves in the distance told Ella the answer, and there was actually a group of cavalry killed on the flank, roughly estimated to be no less than 100 people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
How could this poor and remote place pull up a cavalry!
There is no time for Aylardo to think, in the cold weapon war, the infantry is naturally afraid of cavalry, not to mention that this cavalry is still in a state of charge.
Since there were no reserves left, at most less than a hundred infantry were pulled up to resist the menacing cavalry, which exposed the flanks to the cavalry.
I saw that the cavalry troops braved the swords and guns of the enemy infantry to rush forward, and although there were some losses, the enemy's formation was directly dispersed.
Scattered infantry made it more difficult to pose a threat to the cavalry, which led to a one-sided massacre of the cavalry, and there were signs of rout in the crusading army, and it was possible that they would be killed if this continued.
The morale of the soldiers of the crusading army suddenly fell to a low point, and many of them saw that the situation was not right, and they all retreated in unison.
They have realized that this group of thieves is extremely difficult to deal with, and they expect to stay here and die, so it is better to withdraw first.
Lin Xiao had already died so many people, and he was already a mortal enemy with the other party, how could he let these people go.
"Give me all back!"
Lin Xiao suddenly lifted the state of suspended animation, and the general of the crusading army, who had just taken a few steps, stood in place with their soldiers, and involuntarily walked back.
Of course, Lin Xiao didn't dare to keep dying, and immediately resumed suspended animation, and those crusaders recovered.
Although they didn't know what had just happened, they knew that there was something in Huangsha Town that attracted them.
Now was not the time to think about this, and with a little sluggishness, they hurriedly retreated.
But the time that Lin Xiao delayed just now was not useless, and Ella, who was just about to escape on horseback, fell off the horse, otherwise it was really possible for him to escape.
Seeing that she had fallen into the encirclement, Ella's face was very ugly, and she pulled out a firearm from her waist and aimed it at one of the clone soldiers.
The distance was too close for the clone soldier to dodge, and the projectile left a small bullet hole in the armor, and the soldier fell directly into a pool of blood.
The huge gunfire also alarmed Lin Xiao, and he was a little shocked, the Middle Earth Kingdom was not born in the backward feudal period, where did the gun come from?
Finding Viscount Ella holding a fire hammer, Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, with his extraordinary eyesight, he could clearly see that this was just an ordinary musket inlaid with gold.
He first thought of modern firearms, but fortunately he made a fuss.
After seeing Viscount Ella fire a shot, he was subdued by the clone soldiers around him, and he was not given a chance to reload at all.
After clearing the stubborn resistance of the crusading army, the cavalry handed over the battlefield to the infantry and pursued them directly.
After all, two legs are not as fast as four legs, and the retreating crusaders are quickly caught up, and bloody slaughter is inevitable.
After destroying the enemy's large force, the rest was relatively easy to solve, and Lin Xiao handed it all over to the cavalry.
He counted some of the prisoners, capturing more than 300 Middle-earth soldiers in total, plus several generals, the highest of which was Viscount Ella.
After these generals were captured, they didn't dare to be arrogant, and they were almost as good as before, and their promises seemed to be free of money.
Say that as long as you let them go, the previous things will be written off, and the compensation or something will be sent on time, I'm afraid they don't even believe these words.
Lin Xiao didn't kill them all, his losses this time were very large, a total of more than 100 soldiers were killed, and more than 200 wounded soldiers.
During this period, the wounded soldiers were basically declared dead, and they could only be very lucky to survive.
If it weren't for the fact that he currently stored a large amount of alcohol, the survival rate would have been greatly improved.
This is also thanks to his foresight, using up the spare energy points and cloning a batch of expensive cavalry.
It is impossible for Lin Xiao to suppress all his troops in Huangsha Town, first of all, distance is a problem, and only cavalry can quickly support here at present.
But his loss is still very large, at least he has to cut a piece of meat from the nobles to make up for his losses.
There is no shortage of materials at the moment, and what he cares about most is the firearm carried by Viscount Ella, which must be clarified.
As a modern person, even if he didn't know about it, he knew that muskets were very threatening to ancient soldiers.
If all the Midland Kingdoms that attacked today were equipped with this kind of firecracker, even if he sent cavalry, it was estimated that it would not be of much use.
Ella is also more honest, and it didn't take much effort to explain everything she knew.
It turns out that the firecrackers were passed down decades ago from the robbers on the seaside, and it is said to have come from the Gulf countries.
This weapon is good, cumbersome to operate, has a short range, has to be close enough to be powerful, and aims by luck.
Even with these shortcomings, there is still a lot of room for development of this weapon, and the above problems can be ignored, and the cost is the biggest limitation.
At present, only the royal family and a few nobles in the Kingdom of Middleearth have equipped their armies with firearms, and the other nobles simply cannot afford this expensive cost.
Coupled with the fact that the royal family deliberately hid the technology of making firearms, it was even more difficult for other nobles to equip their armies.
Knowing this, Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, no wonder he had only captured one on Ella's body so far, if the armies of the Middle Earth Kingdom were equipped with this kind of weapon, his little strength would not be enough to stuff the other party's teeth.
It's good news that the fire gun is not popular, he can still occupy Huangsha Town for the time being, after all, the royal family and those nobles can't come all the way to attack him.
With a layer of concerns, Lin Xiao had no choice but to give up the lion's mouth, and for now, stabilize these nobles first.
After a few days, the news of the defeat of the crusading army finally reached Huangsha City, and no one would have believed the news if it had not been for the soldiers who had fled back to testify.
After discussion, the nobles finally elected an envoy to negotiate with the thieves in Huangsha Town.
The nobles' request was very simple, Lin Xiao had to withdraw from Huangsha Town, and he had to return the prisoners, but Lin Xiao naturally did not agree, and asked for 20 tons of iron as a price.
The two sides bargained, and finally an agreement was reached, and the nobles paid at least 5,000 plants in exchange for a sufficient number of seeds in exchange for captives.
When the transaction is completed, Lin Xiao will naturally withdraw from Huangsha Town.
This request was nothing to the nobles, just a little strange, but it did not prevent the two parties from reaching an agreement.
After sending the envoy away, Lin Xiao's tense face relaxed a little, negotiating with these cunning guys was even more tiring than fighting.
But he is still very satisfied with the agreement, it seems that he has suffered a big loss, but in fact, it is not necessarily, the seed is not valuable to the nobles, but it is very valuable to him.
And it was also very troublesome to collect, he took advantage of the fact that the feudal nobles did not understand this, and asked for five thousand kinds, and the amount was sufficient, and it would take at least several years to collect them all.
Of course, the opposing nobles can mobilize civilians, and it shouldn't take much time.
As long as there are these seeds, even if Lin Xiao withdraws from Huangsha Town, he will not lose.
