Chapter 182: Murder and Prestige
The Valley of the Five Colors, the name is very immortal, but it is a watershed in the eastern and western parts of the Thorn Gem Empire. To the east of the Five Colors Valley mountain range is naturally the Great Plains, where the imperial capital is located. To the west, however, lies the meandering part of the Blue River. This area 500 kilometers away from the royal court is the famous trial site of the Imperial Demon Court. Every five years, the Academy of Magic releases demonic creatures strictly according to the list. These demonic creatures, every once in a while, mages who have graduated from the magic academy need to exercise their combat power. Will jungle here to gain experience. It is to accumulate experience of casting spells quickly and steadily at the time of battle.
It is catastrophic for ordinary civilians living near mountainous areas. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor of the Thorn Gem Empire, he is not allowed to levy any taxes on the people of this land. Every year, a large number of bankrupt peasants have nowhere to go, and people who really can't survive will come here to live.
However, this is not a paradise when there are no Warcraft. This commoner who lived near the mountains and forests that was obviously in the core of the empire was called a border citizen by the nobles of the empire. Because there were no taxes, the commoners who lived here were not considered wealth to the lords. It was a world dominated by the aristocracy, and the value of the merchant was to trade with the nobility in exchange for wealth. The value of the plebeians is to create wealth for aristocratic production. Only by creating wealth will the noble lords exert protection on the commoners. As for the border people. Since there is no value in protection, then it is ownerless, and anyone can come and have a little fun.
However, the aristocrats of this era are having fun, not lying on the bed with drinks on the left and snacks on the right, holding mobile phones in their hands and holding computers to play movies. Treats such as beautiful food can be considered decadent, but their pleasures are bloody.
This group of knights in exquisite armor appeared here, the number was not much, it was about three hundred people, twenty or thirty people were a small group, and in the center of each small group was a young man with a family crest of particularly gorgeous and exquisite, who was protected by the knights around him.
The horse, which was about the height of a camel, was dressed in pure steel armor, and immediately a knight's sword in the sword holster was not drawn, and the knight's spear with patterns was waved in his hand. The price of such a knight training is very high. Of course, in the rear of the Order there were as many as three or four thousand servants. It is the elite troops that assist these hunts. Of course, there are also legions composed of this kind of steel-armored knights in the empire, and this kind of legion is second only to the mage regiment in a row, lined up on the battlefield, and rushed over in a row wearing steel armor, even the earth-walking dragon has to avoid its edge.
However, a strict knight is not only well-equipped, but also has an indomitable will. In the face of the gun, do not retreat in the face of the boulder smashed by the trebuchet do not dodge, and do not blink in the face of the rain of arrows falling in the sky. Such an army of more than 1,300 knights is the only army that can break out of the big magic without breaking and maintaining its combat effectiveness.
However, only the empire can afford to raise a dozen of such a legion. Other lords and the like, don't even think about it. The current team of heavy knights is venting, and at the foot of the Five Colors Valley Mountain, the chickens and dogs are jumping in the villages, ushering in this wave of plague gods. A dozen knights drove away a large number of so-called border people. At the slightest attempt to escape, the knight walked around and pierced the skull with his spear. Often a dozen knights were able to drive two or three hundred people.
After driving the frontier people to one place, the servants of the nobility prepared ropes and wooden shackles to handcuff the frontier people one by one, ready to add new supplies to the slave market. Of course, some young women with some posing posture will be separated. The young masters need to relax after they are tired of playing, and they will vent their excess irritability after venting the blood stimulation from the loot. Of course, the servants did it very carefully. Because they know that when the masters get tired of playing, these toys will be rewarded to themselves.
Ren Di and Yun Chenhe looked at this chaotic scene in the distance. Ren Di asked Yun Chenhe, "Brother Yun, this number is a bit large, can you handle it?" Yun Chenhe said: "In the era of cold weapons, the combat effectiveness of the rabble is equal to zero. ”
In the process of marching, Ren Di and Yunchen He already had a basic division of labor for future development, because in the era of cold weapons, Ren Di was not familiar with it, and he had not fought a specific cold weapon battle once. Yun Chenhe is the main commander of the operation, while Ren Di is the main one in the deployment of manpower for industrial production.
However, at the moment, this battle was proposed by Yun Chenhe, and Ren Di, who was eager to start quickly at the destination, was still a little hesitant about the cost of this war. Because what if a few more conscripts die, even if it is the conscripts of Yunchen He, it will not be conducive to the initial development. But Yunchen and this battle seemed to be inevitable. First of all, Yun Chenhe was sure of the casualties of this battle. The second is that there is a willingness to fight.
Yun Chen and watched as the knight troops gathered more and more civilians, with seventeen or eight thousand people. said to Ren Di, who was still considering the cost of the war: "Ren Di, for those small people, it is useless to reason with them, now is not the last task, the era of gradual enlightenment of the people's wisdom, this is a very high level of ignorance, propaganda and ideological education or something, the results achieved are too slow, and speaking with naked power can make the people of this world obey us in a short time." Now is the time for us to show our power, even if two or three hundred people die. Because these thousands of people have witnessed how strong we are, and they are very well organized. ”
For Yunchen and this point, Ren Di's entanglement is solved, and the price still has to be paid, but as long as the price is necessary, then there is no need to hesitate, Ren Di is not an absolute red faction, when it is good to effectively mobilize people to obey their own arrangements, then this method is right. There is really no direct fight with ideological education and propaganda, and it is intuitive and clear.
The third young master of the Rock Earl was very satisfied today, he caught the most prey in this hunt, thinking about how many teenage young girls he drove away from the prey, he couldn't help but feel a little hot on his body.
After removing the armor, he jumped off his horse. The swaggering teenager of his age showed off how brave he was today, and the powerful combat power that killed several untouchables with a single shot. However, a terrible cry of hostility appeared. Four hundred meters away, an unidentified army was rapidly approaching. The knight who went to inquire had fallen from his horse crookedly.
Ren Di watched the guy who had been cut in the throat with his own blade roll into the grass, and just now the servant was still asking proudly, "Which part are you from?" The hunt is over, go home and play with the mocking words within the mud. In the next second, he turned into a corpse under Ren Di's iron sword. After experiencing the last battlefield, Ren Di did not hesitate at all about the person he killed. Because Ren Di understands that the worldview of himself and these nobles is too different, and he is destined to not be able to talk about it. So there is no excess sympathy at all, to the enemy who is destined to be hostile.
The poor servant thought that a noble army had arrived late to the hunting grounds, and out of the intention of giving his master a long face, he made a few mockery. I didn't expect to directly encounter the murderous army.
The alarm sounded, and the camp of thousands of people rushed over, but they did not immediately pick up arms. A nobleman looked at the team arriving in the distance and said, "That guy is so reckless, is he just not giving face to the Rock family?" ”
And the third young master of the Panshi family was already rushing over with people in a rage, and he didn't even wear steel armor. He picked up his arms and prepared to find this late nobleman. Bang Bang, who was originally in a good mood because of hunting, instantly flashed and thundered: "I dare to kill my family's servants." Want to die? ”
However, when he led the team to rush to within a hundred meters, he felt that something was wrong, and the team in front of him quickly walked out of the rear, and a group of well-trained soldiers crouched down and raised the famous war equipment to aim. Suddenly his soul flew away in fright, and his mouth trembled and shouted, "Military crossbow." "Speaking of the crossbow, it's almost the number one contraband item in the Thorn Gem Empire. A peasant with little training in his hands is a threat to the knight and mage. But now there are so many of them all at once. Soldiers holding a bow and crossbow in the face of the cavalry charge do not change color to complete the aiming task.
Crash felt a strong aura of conspiracy enveloping his head. Suddenly, he felt his head be struck, and he fell off his horse in a whirlwind, and at the last moment he wondered who he had offended, and that someone had attacked him with an army.
Ren Di's conscripts were armed with a crossbow and fired a salvo of finger-length metal arrows after aiming. The muzzle velocity can reach 150 meters per second. Can maintain the lethality of piercing leather armor at one hundred and fifty.
After the volley, the thirty-seven knights on horseback did not wear much armor due to their haste. Directly shot all to death. The servants who followed behind Bang Bang saw this shocking scene and instantly crashed. It's not that they haven't killed anyone, and when they just followed their master to slash and kill civilians, they all showed great bloodthirstiness. And yet now shed their own blood. He stood stupidly and didn't dare to move. However, Yunchenhe didn't give them a chance to continue to think at all, and the second row of salvos began, and the steel # crossbow arrows, the scene of blood splashing through the brain, appeared in large numbers. More than 100 people in the back fell as quickly as wheat was being harvested.
If you want to say why the fight is so accurate, it is strange that the draftees of the officers who have gone through the evolution of the firepower era are not infused with shooting skills. The shooting technique of the Evolution Officer was purely stacked with bullets, basically moving towards the sniper side. More than 100 meters, the cross crosshairs are on the head, which is trivial. However, it can be seen here that the levy pays for what he pays for, at least only the elite level who costs one kilogram of purple gold can carry the sniper's marksmanship. Ren Di's group of conscripts aimed directly at the enemy's head.
In the Principality of White Rock, Ren Di and Yun Chenhe's weapons were all provided by Xiaofeng. And now it's Ren Di's own creation. In fact, Ren Di understands that as long as he shows his talent, Xiaofeng will try his best to keep him. But Ren Di thought about it for so many days and found that he didn't seem to be willing to play for Xiaofeng.
The camera returns to the battle.
As soon as the battle broke out, Ren Di understood that Yunchen and the more than 1,000 people who came from were confident in attacking the armed forces of 4,000 people. This group of armed forces is much worse than that of the Principality of Baiyan, at least the Principality of Baiyan still has some force in order to resist the invasion of the beasts. These nobles are purely out of the house.
After the crossbowmen finished firing, the pikemen quickly ran forward in formation. When passing by a hundred corpses, twenty people were left to complete the procedural replenishment of each corpse. Send all the guys who pretended to be dead after being shot to hell.
When they saw Honban and his attendants fall off their horses, the nobles who were preparing to watch the play in the camp already felt that something was wrong. The death of a servant was a trifle, at most it caused a conflict between two nobles. Like a child fighting, it is different for a nobleman to die, and he kills people mercilessly as soon as he comes up.
Upon seeing the levy trained mending the knife behavior. All the nobles realized that this was definitely not a late aristocrat, but a murderous professional army dedicated to their side. And I came straight to my own place.
Some nobles picked up swords and guns and prepared to resist, while others saw that the situation was not good and prepared to get on their horses and run away. Not leaving one behind is the goal pursued by Yunchen and this operation this time. After approaching a hundred meters, the crossbowmen fired again, and there was no muzzle of flame, and there was no fog of the battlefield where gunpowder burned. A wrench that rotates like a bicycle pedal, which is quickly wound by a soldier stores the strength of the muscles on the crossbow arm and spring steel string. Then, after the trigger is pulled, kinetic energy is released by transferring kinetic energy to a finger-sized crossbow arrow.
The will to resist of the nobles who formed a single team to charge was instantly crushed by the precise shot of this rain of steel arrows. Because the fire is so precise. A knight in neat armor escaped the disaster and fell from his fallen horse. Then he saw a huge arrow appear in his eyes, and then inserted into the tip of his nose, and the shaft of the arrow gradually sank into him. Yun Chenhe pulled the bow that evolved the officer's physical fitness, and gave this knight with strong physical fitness an arrow. Directly pinned the knight's head to the ground. Yun Chenhe's bow shooting process was chic and free. Seeing Yunchen and Lu's hand, Ren Di couldn't help but sigh "handsome", at least Ren Di himself won't.
The cavalry simply could not rush. Then he encountered the spearmen who were charging in unison. The pace is the same, and the tip of the gun remains in a line. All soldiers raise their guns at the same angle, allowing them to stab at the same time. This is the elite troops. Like a wall, it crashed into the panicked aristocratic hunting party, and the impact immediately produced blood flowers. The aristocratic servants, who were forced to retreat by the wall-like troops, saw themselves pierced by strange three-edged spear heads in the next moment.
The human wall composed of conscripts and pikemen was like a rainbow, and it was directly pushed over. The servants and nobles who had been crying and begging for mercy with laughter an hour ago were now powerless to cry and beg for mercy.
"I am the first heir of the Golden Silk Grass family, I can pay the ransom" The crying cry instantly detonated the memories of the nobles, and the begging voices to pay the ransom were shouted out one by one. But it soon turned into a curse, as the assassination of this terrible group of soldiers did not stop slowly. And escaping is also ineffective, after leaving the battlefield, those terrible crossbowmen fired accurately, and all the fleeing nobles were shot down.
Of course, there are also knights who are clever enough to be ready to attack the crossbowman formation. As a result, these knights, who survived from the crossbowmen's arrows and had strength beyond ordinary people, met Ren Di. The battle was not crushed in strength, and with a sword, Ren Di swung a sword quickly, like a mosquito. The knights' necks instantly spurted blood and fell.
So I don't know which smart guy chose to hide in a crowded place. That is, among the slaves they had just captured. Expect this murderous army to leave at a speed after it is finished.
