Chapter 718: Black Eagle Mercenary Group (1)
What Zhang Zhongjun was expecting the two sides to desperately win over did not happen at all, but both sides frowned after hearing that Zhang Zhongjun was a mercenary, and even a light cavalry muttered softly: "It's actually a wild dog." ”
Then, the knights of the two sides first looked at the troops gathered behind Zhang Zhongjun, as if they had estimated the number, and then took out a handful of gold cancans from the pocket on the side of the saddle, counted 5 pieces, and put the rest back in their pockets, but the five gold cancans were thrown in front of Zhang Zhongjun's horse very casually.
Leave a sentence: "You are not allowed to step into the battlefield without permission." Then the knights on both sides turned their horses in unison and rode toward their camp. There were also young light cavalrymen who deliberately turned their heads to look at Zhang Zhongjun and them, and then spat on them with a wicked look.
Zhang Zhongjun's subordinates all held their blades, but Zhang Zhongjun didn't speak, they could only stare angrily at the distant knight background.
Zhang Zhongjun looked at the ten gold coins in the mud a little sluggishly, five on one side, just ten.
Raise your head to see that the two sides have already received the news, and directly reverse the formation, restoring the original triangular confrontation formation to a two-by-two confrontation formation. A posture that doesn't take Zhang Zhongjun and them seriously at all.
Zhang Zhongjun blinked his eyes, and under the stunned gaze of his people, he turned over and dismounted and picked up ten gold coins, wiped them and examined them carefully, and then put them in his bag happily.
Turning his head and seeing the awkward looks of his subordinates, he couldn't help grinning: "Damn, what are your expressions, we are penniless now, obviously we can get ten gold coins out of thin air, where can we find such a good thing!"
"My lord, if we need money, we can take it with knives and guns!" said the centurions, gritting their teeth.
Our task is to occupy this island, and this 100,000 square kilometers of island is not something that 500 of us can occupy, and there are still so many cattle on this island!
"My lord, it's okay for us to be wronged, but we can't let you be wronged!" said the centurion, still indignant.
"Hey, what's this, and this is not a grievance at all, they saw five hundred of us, and gave us 10 gold coins not to get involved in their battle, which means that we are in good strength. And when they fight to a certain extent, we will become the decisive force for victory and defeat, and it will not be possible to do it with 10 gold coins at that time! If they lose both sides and hurt badly, we can't say that we can serve them in one pot!" Speaking of the back, Zhang Zhongjun couldn't help but show his snow-white teeth.
Of course, a few centurions knew that this was impossible, because who would fight to the death with the enemy when there was a stranger on the side!
Of course, since their own lords said this, they naturally responded one after another, anyway, they believed that their own lords must have understood this, and saying this was just to cheer everyone up.
Zhang Zhongjun led a few centurions back to the ranks, turned his horse's head and began to admire the two camps fighting, but he was scolding in his heart: "He meows, he actually despises mercenaries? Could it be that mercenaries have a very bad reputation in this world? But the reputation of the guy who wants to spend money to do things should not be much better." Hey, I didn't make a mistake, I wouldn't have said that I was a mercenary, but we don't have any basis here, so what do you say about mercenaries? Helpless, that's the only way, let's see if we can pick up the cheap later. ”
Zhang Zhongjun was thinking wildly, the two camps on the opposite side finally started a war, only to see the green cloud knights on both sides raised their spears in unison, and then pointed sharply at the shallow river, and a cold air emerged from several green cloud knight spears on both sides, and quickly poured into the shallow river.
Then the shallow water river, which was nearly 100 meters long, directly formed a thick ice block, and the ice became thicker and thicker, and finally it was parallel to the river on both sides, so that the river above spread towards the banks on both sides.
The humble obstacle of the shallow water river three or four meters wide disappeared, except that the cavalry knights on both sides did not take the opportunity to charge at all, but moved to the sides, revealing the peasant soldiers behind them.
And these peasant soldiers, under the intimidation and roar of those servant soldiers, moved forward very slowly, and it was really a long time before the peasants and soldiers on both sides really stepped on the huge ice on the river.
Then, without knowing what the servants and soldiers were shouting about, these peasant soldiers immediately howled hoarsely, and like a beast in a desperate situation, they took the rudimentary weapons in their hands and slaughtered the peasant soldiers on the other side who were just as sad and crazy as themselves!
Zhang Zhongjun, who had been looking at it, couldn't help but blink his eyes and shouted in disbelief: "Damn, what is this doing? There are elite cavalry that don't use it, elite archers don't fire, and elite infantry don't move forward, and they actually drive the peasant soldiers to fight first? Isn't this a waste of manpower?"
Several centurions nodded: "Yes, yes, I really don't understand what kind of mentality this world is, the elite warriors don't fight, but let the farmers fight, who will plough the fields after the farmers die in battle! They don't understand that the farmer can be trained as a warrior, but the warrior can't become a farmer?
"Damn, if they are a rebel army or a cult, it makes sense to drive the peasants to fight, because the army without a base does not need peasants. But no matter how they look at it, they are all forces with a system, how can they still do this kind of behavior of wasting manpower and killing chickens and taking eggs?" Zhang Zhongjun shook his head and was speechless.
This is a centurion said: "My lord, my subordinates vaguely seem to know some such things, that is, those noble knight lords think that farmers are weeds, no matter how they are cut, they can grow again, and elite soldiers, especially knights, need to spend a lot of money, time and luck to cultivate one, so in order to consume the strength of the other party and preserve their own strength, every time they fight, they will pioneer the farmers to be the vanguard, and then the cavalry soldiers will be dispatched." ”
"Yes, my lord, my subordinates also have the impression that it is said that nobles and knights will not die if they have no accident, so in order to win more battle achievements, they will wantonly slash and kill each other's peasants. Even sending the peasants to the front is a tacit understanding between the two sides to increase the merits of the cavalry under their command. Another centurion replied as well.
