The Spanish captain whose full name is Diego Atra List, quite a classical knight, in order to take care of the families of his fallen subordinates, got a poor end, he mixed the Thirty Years War and the Sixty Years War for so long, his health was basically ruined, he could not lead a horse or lift a spear without a few fingers, he could only be a musketeer.

Fortunately, with the help of several of his adopted sons and a group of old brothers, coupled with the good reputation of the poor people, he also pulled up a Spanish phalanx of 2,000 people, all of whom were veterans who had been in battle, and many of them were even fathers and sons.

Four companies of pikemen, each with 250 men, used five-meter spears to form a hollow gun formation, and were good at holding and fighting cavalry.

There were four companies of musketeers, each of which was also two hundred and five, usually enclosed in four corners of the pike, allowing for flexible movement and firing.

The tactic of the 'Ban Duck Phalanx' is that the pikemen and riflemen are divided into a phalanx of 1,000 men. This combination is called a 'column', and a total of 2,000 people can form two 'columns'.

It's a pity that there is no cavalry and artillery, otherwise it can be regarded as a reduced 'Spanish corps'.

Knowing the arrival of the famous 'Infantry Flower Board Duck Phalanx', Xu Ping'an still sat down, vacated the barracks, prepared food and lodging, and quickly brought some entourage to support the scene, and then patted the horse to greet him, so he saw it at the foot of the mountain...... A large crowd of beggars.

The unit, known simply as the 'Diego Corps', was murderous because its clothes were full of patches and holes.

Most of the 2,000 men in the regiment were malnourished beards, and a hundred pairs of good shoes could not be turned out, and even one-fifth were barefoot.

The weapons were complete, but the firearms were heavy arquebuses that should be eliminated, the spears were just over a foot long and the heads were iron, and the armor was much better than that of the native Saracens: a third of the spearmen were armed with high-topped helmets of Spanish character, and a half of the armor, a kind of legless and appropriately simplified infantry plate armor.

Xu Ping'an's glasses were about to fall off: "Is it the wrong way I went out? Is this the flower of the infantry? Or is it the beggar gang fighting the dog?"

When they met for the first time, the employer and the wage earner were speechless, so they could only say hello from afar, and then go their separate ways.

When Atra Liszt saw that the boss turned out to be an 'Indian', he said that he was not surprised, it was definitely fake-when did the Indians fight with the Star Moon Sect?

And Xu Ping'an saw that this 'Beggar Gang Elder' was dressed more than Brother Sharp to kill Matt, and he didn't have the heart to greet him.

The Spaniards, who had traveled all the way, were finally led by their guide into the camp prepared for them: a row of tents prepared in advance at the foot of the mountain 'castle tower'.

In the future, this will be their barracks, and in the next time, the mercenaries will also build breastworks, trenches and other fortifications, and the condescending traverser can also easily supervise the activities of these people.

In short, the small hill of the 'castle tower' is the 'governor's palace' on the top, and the offices of those 'civil servants' and 'business representatives' are located halfway up the mountain, and the interior of the mountain is the tunnels and warehouses dug by countless kobolds, and at the foot of the mountain is a dirt road into the mountain, next to which is the camp of Spanish mercenaries, which is in good order.

Looking at the Spaniards at the foot of the mountain, Xu Ping'an had a great headache: "Liu Jingtian is really messing around, what kind of 'brand' mercenaries do you want! These people are more like bandits! We must take some measures, lest they delay their business!"

At the same time, after settling down his subordinate Diego Atlalistt, taking his adopted son and two company commanders, under the leadership of the Portuguese guide, he came to the villa at the top of the castle tower, Xu Ping'an's 'official residence'.

Diego was furious: damn Perez, he just told him to help a governor defend a thriving colony against some desert Star and Moon Cult, but he didn't mention it at all, this is a governor of Indian origin!

And looking at these merchants who came to trade, this governor is also a heretic and has not run away!

Xu Ping'an, who was standing in front of the window, also scolded in his stomach: "Didn't you say a good Renaissance? How can you jump directly to the medieval barbarian painting style? You take a bath once in a few years!"

Whether it is Xu Ping'an or a Spaniard who has just arrived in a foreign land, it is very similar to talking to Perez. However, this thankless busy man is now struggling to climb the Alps.

More than a month ago, after Pérez got rid of the Spaniards, he ran back with fire: "My lord, I have negotiated two thousand Spanish infantry, and I have already paid the deposit!"

Knowing that there were 2,000 more Spanish phalanx soldiers as his subordinates, Liu Jingtian was very dissatisfied, and scolded Perez with a communication talisman in the air: "You are a fool, what are you trying to do with 2,000 colonists and fanatical believers? Do you think there are too few Spanish colonies in North Africa?"

But it's all here, it's impossible to rush back, and the opening fee has been paid...... Then get some other mercenaries to mix with water, and you must have a good reputation and will not betray!

In desperation, Perez came to Switzerland with money orders and various 'company' authorization documents that I didn't know if they were useful or useless, and I am afraid that the only thing that meets the requirements of the monster boss is the famous Swiss Guard.

For the first time, Pérez traveled so far through the mountains of France and Italy before finally reaching the small landlocked country of Switzerland.

However, things don't go well.

I went to several federal state governments (the equivalent of local self-government in Switzerland) and found that none of them would take the job of 'Doug White'. The reason is that at the beginning of the 16th century, Switzerland signed a 'permanent peace' treaty with France, and the two sides were at peace forever, and Switzerland received some privileges in tariffs, and at the same time, the Swiss mercenary group could only accept the employment list of the French, and could not take the work of other countries.

In the end, it was the local smart people who showed him a clear way: since wholesale is not good, you can retail!

Although it sounds a little strange, the whole group of hires is not allowed, and no one cares if it is replaced by scattered hires. This was obviously not the first time the Swiss had engaged in such a deal, and through the simple propaganda of a few local intermediaries, Pérez had managed to scrape together a thousand Swiss spearmen, all German-speaking Zurich mercenaries.

The Swiss pikemen were really expensive, with a monthly salary three times that of the Spaniards, and they paid once a week, and they did not accept arrears! No wonder, their business was getting worse and worse, and they had fewer and fewer opportunities to play in Europe in the future.

But correspondingly, no matter how poor these Swiss are, after all, they are always winning battles, and just picking up rags is enough to make a fortune, almost everyone has a set of full-body armor, although most of them are captured from previous battles, and there are various varieties, but the heavy armor of the whole regiment is also better than countless peers.

Perez didn't want to hire so many people, but the other side refused to reduce the number: North Africa is too far away, and we don't dare to go if there are fewer people!
