Chapter 51: The First Battle of Nord
Emilin Village is a village where textiles are the main industry. There is a large amount of hemp outside the village, because it has its own characteristics, Aimilin is still relatively wealthy. Of course, this does not mean that Emilin has money, but that all kinds of basic living materials are sufficient. No, when the village chief heard that Zhang Yuan was coming, he hurriedly organized the villagers to entertain him. The chickens, ducks and fish are all here.
"Oh, my lord turned out to be a nobleman, praise for your generosity, Xiao Xia's wedding is very beautiful."
When entertaining Zhang Yuan, after discovering Zhang Yuan's noble flag, the village chief kept praising Zhang Yuan there.
"Oh, it's hard to put into words, that girl's name is Sia? Good name, I wish her a happy new marriage and a happy family. ”
Zhang Yuan in the promise seems to be very handy, but this is not his deliberate, but a real blessing. With Zhang Yuan's blessing, there was another voice of praise.
"I wonder what it takes for adults to come to Emilin?" The village chief asked Zhang Yuan there, as the village chief, he knew that these nobles would not come back to the village if they had nothing to do, and they would either come to the village to collect taxes or recruit soldiers, but they had a good relationship with Zhang Yuan and wanted to see what Zhang Yuan needed.
"I was going to Dehrim, but on the way Saul said it was almost time to reach Emilin, so let's take a look. And nothing. ”
"Oh, is that so? I heard that the robbers who coveted our village were solved when the adults came? ”
"You don't need to be called by adults, it sounds really awkward, just call me Zhang Yuan. Yes, we came across a gang of robbers, and this gang of robbers should be some deserters, quite combative. For this I had five horsemen killed. Ay! It's fine in the morning, but it's gone in the evening. ”
"Oh, a moment of silence for them, great ...... Sir Zhang Yuan, do you need to recruit new recruits in our love Millin? I would recommend the best guys. ”
"Well, is that appropriate? You love Mirin and need to be guarded. ”
"Haha, hasn't the trouble of our love for Milin been solved?"
……
After a feast, Zhang Yuan's troops increased to 24 men, all equipped with weapons and protective gear.
As for the next day, it was repaired in Emilin. Now Zhang Yuan had no other supplies except for the trophies of ten war knives, and everyone was equipped with the knight armor, chain mail and simple leather armor that Zhang Yuan had in stock. As for the horses, there were 14 horses, and it was impossible for all of them to be cavalry, so Zhang Yuan took out the only ten remaining knives and traded some wood and carriages with Emilin.
In the end, four carriages were made, plus the first two carriages, a total of six, of which four carriages were used to pull people, each with five people on it, and two for pulling materials, and two people were occupied, each carriage had two horses, and finally the remaining two people and two horses happened to be Zhang Yuan and the standard-bearer.
After spending the day arming all his men and solving the problem of mobility, Zhang Yuan left Emilin in the evening and headed for Deherim. Why left overnight? Because Zhang Yuan was worried about being attacked by outlaws. Although it is safer in the village, it will bring disaster to Emilin, and maybe it will be a catastrophe. Now that Zhang Yuan is favored by Ai Milin, he has to think about protecting it and not letting it be harmed.
After another five miles of rapid marching, the convoy stopped and began to set up camp. Many recruits looked at the veterans digging trenches puzzled, but no one explained to them, only the foodie trio was there urging the recruits to hurry up and dig the trenches, because the actual is better than the explanation, and the recruits will listen to their explanations? Before they reached the camp to attack, they were all wiped out? How do you die without melee? Fell to your death over such a small trench?
The recruits of Emilin are still very high-quality, and they start digging trenches under the arrangement of the foodie group, and after the recruits start digging, the veterans get together and start to set traps outside the trenches in groups.
Two hours later, at about nine o'clock in the evening, the camp was cleaned up, and it was even better than the last time. Then everyone started to eat dinner, and even the patrol officers were eating a simple dinner not far away.
Zhang Yuan's feeling is still relatively reliable, it is estimated that there will be robbers attacking, and sure enough, he came after the meal, looking at the subordinates who had just eaten, thinking that it would be an activity after the meal, and then ordered
"Assemble everyone."
Soon all the soldiers were assembled, and 22 soldiers stood in front of Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan nodded with satisfaction, although he didn't know how many people there were on the other side, but the foodie boss estimated that there were more than 40 by hearing.
"Everyone prepare their bows and crossbows, aim for the east, and the enemy is coming."
"Yes"
Just when everyone was ready, the enemy from afar appeared, it was not robbers at all, but a force of the Nord Kingdom, led by a nobleman, his army originally numbered 200 people, but because of the battle with Ryerdian on the border, there were still 40 people who were defeated. He originally fled all the way, but found that he was lost and entered the hinterland of Ruierdian, so burn and loot.
Yesterday morning, the Nord nobles who had just ransacked a village, after resting, continued to wander around Ruierdian with their own people, and for some reason they wanted to come in this direction, and then kept walking and walking, and finally met Zhang Yuan tonight.
The Nord Kingdom, a country with excellent infantry, is difficult to defeat the Ryordian in the field unless it is superior in geography and numbers, and the battle with the Ryordian is generally to defend the city or take advantage of the large number of people in the mountains. This time, the nobleman will encounter an unexpected battle after being defeated by the cavalry.
As the Nord infantry advanced, the traps in the trap area began to threaten.
"Ahh As the men advanced, the casualties grew. The Nord nobles were directly angry, and before they could see the enemy, their own people were injured one after another. Then the order
"Set fire to the lights."
Soon a raging flame ignited, illuminating the road ahead, and seeing some messy things laid out on the ground, the nobleman stepped forward and slashed like a twisted stick. It's just that the cut is in the wrong position, and the mechanism is triggered and hit directly. The Nord nobles, who were already angry after being defeated, directly erupted, "Everyone charges, tear them apart." ”
Hearing the nobleman's order, the Nord soldiers began to kill towards the camp, and with the lighting, some obvious traps were avoided, and some hidden traps caused the Nord soldiers to be attritional. It may be that there is no experience bonus for trapping enemies, Zhang Yuan looked at the enemies who died in the trap one by one and shouted pity.
Just when the Nord soldiers rushed to the range of the bow and crossbow, Zhang Yuan's side began to shoot arrows, because the Nord soldiers had shields, the casualties were smaller, but they could defend against ordinary arrows, but they couldn't defend against Zhang Yuan's arrows with additional energy. This was also the success of Zhang Yuan's inadvertent experiment, although the power was huge, but the arrow could only be used once, regardless of the quality of the arrow.
Just when Zhang Yuan killed the three Nord soldiers, the familiar sense of upgrade came again, and with the upgrade, Zhang Yuan felt that his energy had recovered a lot, and he shot harder.
