Chapter 50 Arrives at Emilin
When the fire was raging, Zhang Yuan arranged for the crossbowmen who were still standing there to be on guard, and the others went to other directions to see if there were any enemies.
After patrolling for a long time and confirming that it was safe, everyone else went to rest except for the necessary realm.
The next day, the flames in the trench had long been extinguished, and some of the robbers who had not yet burned to ashes fell into the trench like charcoal. Seeing whether these were corpses that smelled of corpses, and some robbers who were pierced into a sieve in the distance, everyone except Zhang Yuan was shocked.
They were not shocked by the corpse, but by the unbelievable way of killing the robbers. From the historical records of the mainland, such a scene has never occurred. This is destined to go down in history as a way of fighting, opening the door to a new world for them.
After dawn, start cleaning up the battlefield, dismantling the remaining traps and burying all traces of the traps. As for the corpses? Throw it directly into the trench and bury it. As for the loot? Except for a few worn-out hatchet knives, there was nothing valuable, and perhaps some of them were worthless, and they may have been reduced to nothing with the flames.
After burying all the traces, they continued their journey, aiming for Dehrim, but the various villages along the way were also a base for Zhang Yuan, as he needed to recruit soldiers. Although these cavalry are barely making do now, but if there are too many enemies, or if they encounter a similar number of rebels, this is not something that can be handled.
Coincidentally, the foodie team and Zhang Yuan introduced that the nearest village to them now is Aimilin. This is a village that is full of affection for Zhang Yuan. Since Aimilin is not far from them, let's take a detour to Aimilin first.
Two hours later, when Emilin was already visible, Zhang Yuan ran into the robbers again. I have to say that the allure of velvet is so great that some robbers who are far away from Zhang Yuan suddenly changed their route and traveled towards this side. When Zhang Yuan lamented the large number of robbers in this world, he completely did not realize that these were no longer the robbers from the vicinity of Paravon, but robbers from remote areas. They were not robbers formed by impoverished civilians forced to make a living, but robbers formed by horse thieves, robbers, rebels, fugitive slaves, etc., or robbers disguised by some officials and soldiers for wine money.
"There's another catastrophe ahead." The foodie shouted from far and wide, because now he is a pioneer.
"Robbers? Do they still dare to come? Don't know what we did last night? ”
"Robbers? I'm going to hit five. ”
"I'm going to hit ten."
With the foodie boss shouting, the team began to be noisy, because of last night's accident, now they don't think the robbers are a thing, and the team is full of voices that look down on the robbers.
As the distance shortened, Zhang Yuan and the robbers gradually got closer, looking at the robbers of about twenty or so, Zhang Yuan directly ordered.
"All the troops are attacking."
With Zhang Yuan's order, the cavalry drew their swords and spears, urged the horses, and slaughtered the robbers. It's just that what I didn't expect was to encounter a wave of arrows in the head. What no one expected was that these robbers had bows and crossbows.
After the rain of arrows, the soldiers in armor suffered casualties, not only by direct shots, but also by shooting at horses, which stumbled and fell on their hooves. Now Zhang Yuan's heart is dripping blood, and with just one charge, two people were shot and killed by the opposite side, and three horses fell to the ground, and the knight on it did not know whether he was alive or dead. It was another nerve-wracking attrition, with a direct loss of one-third of its combat strength.
Now Zhang Yuan regrets it, really regrets it. He always thought that he could play this world after watching the ancient war TV series, but he forgot a sentence he had learned before, knowing himself and knowing that the other side would win all battles. He just didn't understand what the other party's configuration was, if he knew that the other party had crossbowmen, he would definitely not attack so blindly, but use the mobility of the cavalry to kite them, and after their arrows were consumed, they would attack again, or let some knights turn into foot soldiers, holding shields to attract them, and the cavalry flanks were outflanked.
But there are not so many ifs, now is not the time to summarize, Zhang Yuan can only quickly urge the horses to enter the enemy formation.
The impact of the cavalry was impeccable, and as soon as they came into contact, half of these robbers were hit by the cavalry, and they did not stand up and fight again as in the game, but rolled there, and some passed out. Only a few lucky ones were able to get up again and fight with weapons.
With the cavalry returning to the assault again, the number of robbers has now been halved. Even so, these robbers are not afraid of death, and they are in a situation where they will never die. Looking at the foot soldiers who continued to form a formation, Zhang Yuan realized that this was not an ordinary robber, seeing that although they were dressed in tatters, they were all powerful and powerful, and they formed a formation quickly, Zhang Yuan realized that they might be rebels.
The rebels are not the rebels in the usual sense of the word, but the soldiers who left the camp for all sorts of minor things. They are a strange world, except for the first few countries to rebel and divide up the empire, there has been no military rebellion again. Although there are rebels, they do not aim to overthrow the current kingdom, but simply to live.
Looking at the robbers who had already completed the formation, Zhang Yuan took the cavalry and began to run in circles, just not to contact them. While running in circles, all the knights with ranged weapons were constantly attacking, several arrows hit a robber, and a javelin shot a robber, and as the ranged weapons were consumed, fewer and fewer robbers could stand. Finally the robbers began to surrender.
But Zhang Yuan still means that, don't take prisoners. You can't recruit them just because they have high combat power, as in the real world, you are planting a bomb for yourself, and you may explode at any time and destroy the foundation you have built.
After the battle, rescuing the wounded, none of the fighters who fell in the first wave of arrows were able to get up again. Now Zhang Yuan can only take the remaining Nine Lives Knight to bury the fallen soldiers. As for the dead horses, they were disemboweled, and the meat was taken away.
After cleaning up the battlefield again, Zhang Yuan's team walked towards Aimilin depressedly. Looking at the team with such low morale, Zhang Yuan sighed, now it is not the time to say whether the team can fight if they encounter robbers again, but although the morale is low now, the combat power has not been affected. The reason for the depression is that there were still companions who said and laughed just now, and they were gone when they said no. Now they are all holding their breath, preparing to kill the enemy when the robbers appear again, and comfort the souls of their comrades who have died in battle.
Just as Zhang Yuan was reflecting, the team arrived at Aimilin.
At the entrance of Emilin Village under the light of the setting sun, a group of militia was defending there, and they also found the group of robbers wandering around the village, but they did not take the initiative to attack. Unexpectedly, the gang of robbers was dealt with by a noble cavalry today.
Just after Zhang Yuan and the others arrived, a militiaman with sharp eyes saw Zhang Yuan under the banner of the nobles, and immediately cheered.
"It turned out that the adults had arrived."
Just when everyone was wondering, the foodie trio under Zhang Yuan urged them to step forward, and after seeing the three brothers in their own village, the militia guarding finally knew what was going on, even if they didn't go to Parabun together to exchange goods, they listened to the name of the village who returned to explain what happened.
Soon Zhang Yuan and his entourage were welcomed into the village.
