Chapter 7: The Fisherman?
The howling cold wind blew through the same cold marble, and on the towering battlements, Tang Ruiyi looked into the distance surrounded by two militiamen.
At this time, Tang Ruiyi couldn't help but miss the benefits of the era of science and technology, how good it would be to have a telescope!
But this can only be delusional, he still wants a missile, and the world will be quiet as soon as it is launched......
Enemy forces are coming through the Rocky Cliff Mountains from the east, which only indicates the presence of a giant goblin tribe there, and from the information sent back by the scouts, the best place to stop the enemy's advance is on the banks of the Twin Rivers.
Tang Ruiyi did not hesitate to order the troops to set up fortifications near the banks of the Twin Rivers, which mainly included digging traps and taking advantageous positions in advance.
Anyone who has ever been to the banks of the Twin Rivers will feel that it lives up to its name, with clear spring water from the Daisetsuki Mountains pouring into the winding river, which in turn divides the plain into two semi-circular fields, and the only way to pass through the river is through two crumbling wooden bridges, where ten militiamen armed with bows and crossbows hide in the jungle on the other side of the wooden bridge, ready to give the enemy a blow.
And Tang Ruiyi himself personally led the three scouts to reconnoiter the terrain.
They walked along the main road together to the river, and a sharp-eyed scout found a few scattered wooden barrels by the river, so he immediately reported to Tang Ruiyi.
Tang Ruiyi attached great importance to this news, and immediately led the men and horses to the place where the barrel appeared, and before he got close, he smelled a strong fishy smell, and when he lifted the dense leaves, he actually saw a naked man with his upper body shaving fish scales sweating profusely, and there was a shelf beside him, on which hung many salmon and perch.
Tang Ruiyi was shocked by the appearance of a fisherman, and he calculated a little that this place was less than a thousand meters away from the swamp, and there would be humans settling here.
But think about it again, it's nothing, didn't Confucius say that harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are fiercer than tigers, although he has not officially come into contact with humans in this world, but judging from the luxurious clothes and jewelry on the human corpse before, the class exploitation of the low-level civilians in this world must be very serious.
Seeing the arrival of the crowd, the big man did not panic, he first hung up the salmon in his hand, and then beckoned a half-old child from the dilapidated shack to stand beside him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything going on?" said the big man, neither humbly nor arrogantly, as he pushed the child behind him.
At this time, it was Tang Ruiyi's turn to be embarrassed, I can't say that I suspected that you were a spy so I came to investigate, so he coughed lightly, casually confessed the identity of a lord, and told the big man the news of the upcoming goblin army, he didn't react when he heard the identity of the lord, but after hearing the news of the army's pressure on the border, the big man's face suddenly turned pale.
He stood there and hesitated for a while, then suddenly raised his head and strode towards Tang Ruiyi
"Maniac, how dare you approach Your Majesty...... Lord Lord!" The two militiamen immediately raised their long swords and pointed them at the big man, remembering what Tang Ruiyi had ordered, and quickly changed their words halfway through the words.
But he didn't expect that the big man completely ignored the two sharp iron swords, knelt directly in front of Tang Ruiyi, and said without thinking: "I am willing to join your army to stop the goblin army, and in return, I hope you will be magnanimous enough to send this child out to safety." β
At this time, to send a child out of this place means that a combat unit needs to leave the field temporarily, in exchange for a fisherman who does not know the details.
Just when Tang Ruili was hesitating, a system prompt made him ecstatic.
[The Sergeant of the Principality of Diva "Blue Gull" is willing to join your camp, attributes: level 5, life 120, attack 4-7, slow speed, skills: primary swordsmanship - the sword is a murder weapon, swordsmanship is a murderous trick, intermediate blocking - the best defense is attack, primary bandaging, and primary instrument operation. Special None]
Each stat is much higher than that of the militia, and with such a boost, the next battle will definitely be much easier, and at the same time, there will be many unnecessary casualties.
As his thoughts flashed, he nodded in agreement, and then ordered a personal scout to send the child back to the castle, and it could be carried out without delay.
The chosen scout nodded, grabbed the child under his armpit, and disappeared into the jungle in the blink of an eye, despite the child's cries.
When Dahan saw this scene, there was a trace of reluctance and pain in the corner of his eyes, but in an instant, he became indifferent again.
Tang Ruiyi finally took a deep look at the big man, he could be protected incognito by a soldier of a principality, and the identity of that little boy was probably not simple? But so what? After surviving this war, the forces under his command will definitely develop by leaps and bounds, and the soldiers will come to meet the water and the earth weir, no matter who he is? This is not a peaceful earth, strength is the fundamental.
The big man who had joined Tang Ruiyi's army, or the blue gull, ran to the shack, which was made of a large coconut tree with a table, a bed, and a chair. There is also a place to cook rice with charcoal on the mud floor,
On the brown wall are a colorful picture of a bloody battle and a picture of the coronation of a pope. But the blue gull took it down at a glance, for looking at the photograph he felt like he was back in the war-torn era, and the proof of the years was now on the corner shelf, in the wooden box made of bud shells.
With trembling fingers, he took out a set of plain striped armor from the wooden box, the armor was covered with dust between the cracks, the emblem on his chest had been deliberately sharpened, he held a hard bauhinia shield in his right hand, a spiked mace in his left hand, and a pair of resolute eyes under the wolf's helmet.
Walking out of the shed, Tang Ruiyi decided to have a good chat with Lan Ou.
As a sergeant, my intelligence is obviously very low, not to mention that the implant technique is useless, I asked for a while, and I gave up after nothing new.
.....................
Crossing the sparkling river, Tang Ruiyi, who was lying on the hillside, had a flickering look in his eyes, and he clearly saw a group of goblins advancing in the jungle.
Apparently, these dwarf, evil creatures have not yet been aware of it, and a group of ill-intentioned soldiers are preparing to ambush them.
They were holding wooden sticks in one hand, and the corners of their mouths were showing waxy saliva water, and they walked on the road with a big grin, looking at that appearance, Tang Ruiyi couldn't help but wonder if it was necessary for him to be so excited.
Tang Ruiyi still remembers the "Art of War" taught to them by the teacher in the "Military Theory" class in college, which has this paragraphββββ "It is as fast as the wind, its speed is like a forest, its invasion is like fire, it is not moving like a mountain, and it is difficult to know like yin." β
This means that the army should move as swift as the wind, march as neatly as a forest, attack as mercilessly as fire, defend as steady as a mountain, and be as unpredictable as a cloudy day. Of the five points, his troops were already able to do at least three.
The militia were divided into two rows, the militia in the back was armed with bows and crossbows, the militia in the front row held rudimentary shields made of birch, and the scouts were also prepared for ambush.
Just as Tang Ruiyi took a deep breath and was about to sharpen his knife and prepare to carry out a surprise attack, a goblin staggered to the side of the bush where they were ambushing, and when he saw this scene, Tang Ruiyi's heart was about to rise to his throat, wasn't it?
I saw that the goblin thief looked around, and actually took off his pants, took out a small earthworm and shook it, and a few drops of yellow liquid fell on Tang Ruiyi's face!
Faint! I'm actually here to relieve my hand, okay, even if you're ruthless, can't I still hide if I can't afford to provoke you?
Finally, wait until the goblins are done and turn back.
"Whoosh!"
Without the slightest pause, Tang Ruiyi shot the first arrow with his crossbow, the arrow crossed a distance of thirty meters, and pierced deeply into the goblin's calf, it immediately began to roll on the ground and scream, its calf shin bone was pierced by the crossbow arrow coming from the front, revealing Bai Sensen's bone stubble.
This completely ignited the beacon fire of the Battle of the Twin Rivers.
The two armies are fighting, fighting at the right time, place and people, and at this moment, the blue sky, the cloudless sky, and the ambush battle on the home side of the human side are caught off guard.
Some of the goblins who were standing farther away had no idea what was happening, and stood still in a daze, only to realize that they had been attacked until they heard screams.
At this time, Tang Ruiyi would not pay attention to any morality and righteousness, it was completely a tactic to take advantage of your illness to kill you, and immediately ordered Lao Tzu's Italian artillery to be pulled up...... No, it's free fire.
"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-"
Ten feathered arrows roared and tore through the air, scattering with deadly arrows.
The wooden pole behind the iron arrow shook in midair, stabbing into the unarmed goblin's body.
β-3-2-3-4-3-2-3-2-1-3β
After a series of bright red damage prompts, there was a wail in the chaos, and a faint smell of blood filled the air.
Then the militia with the crossbow at the end did not pause in the slightest, and continued to wind the arrow, although there were some oolongs in the process, such as which militia carelessly took down the arrow, or twisted the string too tightly because it was too tight to be fired.
But as time passed, the militiamen became more and more proficient in firing and operating their bows and crossbows, and they could do it seamlessly, until all thirty crossbow arrows were fired, and some of the younger militiamen touched the shoulder straps behind their backs.
But the goblin side that was attacked was miserable, the arrows easily pierced their loose skin, and in Tang Ruiyi's field of vision, he saw the red bar representing life falling down like a waterfall, on the contrary, the number of gold coins rose up, and many goblins standing in front of him were shot like hedgehogs, falling to the ground and twitching, and then remained motionless.
Nearly 20 or so goblins were directly thrown into the rain of arrows, and countless were pushed down and trampled to death by their companions.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that many arrows were fired at the same target repeatedly, the results would have been greater.
If you want to invade the kingdom and invade his territory, you must be prepared to stretch your teeth.
There is no doubt about it, and anyone who wants to be his enemy, he will teach them a hard lesson.
It's a pity that goblins are different from humans after all, and if it were a human army, they would have been defeated long ago if they were so traumatized.
"Woo!" several goblins with leather whips acted as a team of overseers, driving away the goblins who wanted to escape, and the goblins, who were originally at a loss, immediately reacted under this howl and began to organize a counterattack in a chaotic manner.
Seeing this scene, Tang Ruiyi's face was calm, but there was a faint light flashing in his eyes.
"The first platoon of militia regiments, hand-to-hand combat!"
Tang Ruiyi gave an order loudly.
Footsteps sounded behind him, and the militiamen, who had already been ready, began to raise their shields and continue to advance.
"Wow!" Tang Ruiyi also dropped the crossbow arrow without ammunition and pulled out the iron sword at his waist.
"Kill me!"
Hearing the sound of killing, Lan Ou's eyes flashed with killing flames, and he licked his somewhat shriveled lips, but he really missed it, the last time he heard this word, it was twenty years ago on the battlefield of the Rose Covenant.
"I don't know that the young lord in front of me is canonized by that kingdom, I hope the little prince can live a little better with him. He thought secretly in his heart, but he didn't know that his so-called lord was a big liar, in fact, he was not to blame, who could have such a number of private troops except the lord?
Rush forward! Rush forward! Rush frantically! The militia led by Tang Ruiyi was like a sharp cream knife, leaving a deep mark in the chaotic goblin ranks, and in the face of every goblin that stood in the way of advancement, Tang Ruiyi drew his sword very decisively and cut it! There was no hesitation at all!
He kicked over a goblin that tried to sneak up on him, and the sword in his hand slashed mercilessly.
Blood splashed on Tang Ruiyi's face, but he didn't care.
Several goblins were suppressed by the momentum, and their furry heads were directly cut off by the long sword.
Behind him, 10 militiamen roared and followed, their sharp swords piercing the goblin's chest, knocking down the enemy like a wheat harvest.
The militiamen, who have been instilled with the belief of defending their homeland, have no fear at all.
They risked their lives to engage in a physical game against the murderous goblins, raising their wooden shields above their heads if they couldn't hold on, and waiting for the offensive to ease before continuing to kill.
But the militia is not a regular soldier after all, as the so-called one drum and two and three are exhausted, and gradually the militia, which is exhausted, begins to fall into a bitter battle, and a large number of weapons are pouring in from all directions every moment, and the small space is completely unable to use the advantage of long weapons.
Eventually, the first battle attrition appeared, a militiaman who accidentally tripped over a stone fell to the ground, and several goblins swarmed up, and although the sticks were not fatal, they could still cause great damage to the head or chest.
Dark red blood suddenly flowed happily along the scalp, and Tang Ruiyi clearly saw that when he was besieged by the four goblins, the blood bar of this militiaman suddenly became empty, his body became stiff, and his eyes gradually lost their luster.
Tang Ruiyi, who saw this scene, was grief-stricken, and several nearby militiamen were also unbearable, in his memory, the deceased's name was Rand, a very sunny and optimistic young man, and he would enthusiastically perform his best flute for everyone every night, but now, he died like this, turning into a corpse that no one cared about.
The short-term grief did not shake Tang Ruiyi's determination, he quickly recovered, as the so-called mercy does not control the army, righteousness does not control the wealth, as the king of a country, if he can't be ruthless to himself!
Tang Ruiyi forcibly shifted his attention to the new Goblin Warrior in front of him, this kind of goblin who seemed to have a slightly higher combat power The sword mountain in his hand was stained with blood, and it looked particularly conspicuous, they were chasing and killing the militia who were in a bitter battle.
He tore open the throat of one of the goblins closest to him, and shouted at the soldier to cheer him up.
Then Tang Ruiyi rolled and moved in front of the goblin warrior, and the part of his attack was still the throat of the opponent, which was the only place on the enemy's body that was not wrapped in animal skin.
β-7-1-1-1β
The goblin warrior was slashed by the sliced throat with blood gushing out, causing a series of bleeding damage, but the bleeding quickly stopped, and he still vigorously brandished the machete in his hand and pressed at him.
"Uh-uh-uh!" Goblin Warrior spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm with red eyes, hugged Tang Ruiyi, who had no time to dodge, and both of them rolled to the ground.
In the extremely fierce struggle, Tang Ruiyi had red eyes and relied on the skills he learned in fighting when he was a child to fight to get a favorable position.
He raised his fist highββββ down, two, three, and three deadly punches that directly caused the Goblin Warrior's skull to dent and be silent.
[You have successfully killed a Goblin Warrior, for more information, please check it in the Monster Book.] γ
There was no time to check, and the previous Goblin Warrior's counterattack had successfully left several wounds on his chest.
Looking at the militia group that was gradually falling into disadvantage, Tang Ruiyi immediately used a big killing weapon-Molotov cocktail.
Several Goblin Warriors who had been smashed by Molotov cocktails completely lost their minds, and they rolled wildly in the flames, letting out inhuman screams, and no matter where they rolled, a piece of blue flesh would stick, and the other goblins were also afraid to avoid it, and quickly retreated like snakes and scorpions, and after a moment the flames were extinguished, leaving only a lump of mushy coke on the ground.
Flame is the natural enemy of all non-intelligent creatures, the germ of intelligent life, and the origin of the splendid civilization of the Lianghe River Basin.
Taking advantage of the gap in the enemy's retreat, Tang Ruiyi glanced at the attributes of the Goblin Warrior [Goblin Warrior, Level 2: A strong goblin with light armor, and is the mainstay of the Goblin Legion. Attributes: Health 45, Attack 3-5, Skill None, Special: Low Armor]
This is the first time Tang Ruiyi has encountered an enemy with armor, and the system immediately gave a hint [New Hint: Armored Enemy!]
Armored Enemies: Some enemies wear armor of varying strength to protect them from non-magical attacks. When attacking armored enemies, the damage from soldiers, marksmen, and gunners will be reduced. γ
Seeing the skill of courage, Tang Ruiyi knew something in his heart, no wonder the fighting spirit of these goblin warriors was so high, they were as fearless as if they had been drugged, compared to ordinary goblins, they were like two different races, but they were so fragile when attacked by Molotov cocktails.
As the nemesis of the physics profession, they are responded to by countless small vials that shimmer with magma.
