Chapter 22 The Night Battle
With a loud shout, the group of barbarians finally rushed in, but the moment they stepped into the bar, the people who rushed to the front only felt that their feet were empty, and then bursts of screams sounded in the black.
"My legs, save me, save me. ”
"Go back, get back for me, watch out for the traps. ”
However, despite the alarm, many people fell into it, their bodies were pierced by wooden stakes, and some lucky people were pierced in the legs, temporarily saving their lives.
At this time, Quinu was also standing on the edge of the trench, although he stopped in time, but the person behind him bumped into him, and when he saw that he was about to fall, he hurriedly grabbed a person next to him and pushed him down.
The man next to him didn't expect him to do this, so he fell straight down and was impaled through the stake, and Quinu stepped on top of him and stepped over.
When Quenu was breathing a sigh of relief after passing, he suddenly heard a sound of breaking the air behind him, and quickly looked back, only to find that he saw nothing.
Immediately after that, a dense rain of arrows shot down, and he was also instantly shot into a hornet's nest, and at this moment his eyes were full of unwillingness, and he died like this.
"Dark Arrow, everyone be careful"
Soon the trench was filled with corpses, and the people behind them stepped directly on them, and when they came, they were greeted by a dense rain of arrows, because it was night, so they couldn't see it at all, and naturally they couldn't dodge.
After these two rounds of attacks, this group of barbarians directly killed more than a hundred people, and the number of people on both sides returned to the same level again.
After the rain of arrows stopped, Felicia also gave the order to attack, only to see that as soon as she waved her hand, everyone immediately poured out like a tide, and they collided together in an instant.
Su Lin couldn't help but shake his head when he watched this scene from behind, when everyone rushed out, there was no discipline at all, there was no formation at all, although he also knew that this era admired personal bravery, but it had to pay more price.
And he had already planned that after the situation stabilized, he would recruit and train professional soldiers, not knights, and adopt the phalanx of the legion, which Engels regarded as "the most perfect organization and tactics in the age of cold weapons".
These barbarians who rushed in originally wanted to quickly end the battle with a sneak attack and numerical superiority, but they did not expect that nearly a hundred people would be killed and wounded before they could make contact.
After the battle, I felt that the other party was difficult to deal with, especially because he still had a stronger defense than his side, and the scene became one-sided for a while.
Felicia was now holding her twin swords in her hands and dodging left and right in the crowd, and with each swing of her sword, a person fell, and in the face of the barbarian who attacked her from behind, she also quickly turned around and stabbed the sword through the man's jaw.
Soon the remaining barbarians saw that they could not bear it and fled in all directions, and in a short time they ran away without a trace.
Felicia's two swords were crossed over the neck of a barbarian, and with a forceful pull, blood spurted from the barbarian's neck.
Then Gru and his men began to clean up the battlefield, and there were many wailing people in the trenches and on the ground.
Seeing this, Gru also walked over and reported to Su Lin: "Lord Duke, what should we do with these people? ”
Hearing this, Su Lin also looked at these barbarians on the ground, counted about fifty people, so he shook his head and said: "We don't have the energy to take care of these captives now, leave two people, the others"
At this time, Gru also understood what Su Lin meant, so he took someone to do it.
After Filicia wiped the blood from the blade and put it in the scabbard, she also entered the tent and saw Surin interrogating the two captives, and she also sat down next to her and watched.
"Do you two want to live?" asked Su Lin as he stared at the two with a smile.
"Yes, of course. The two replied in unison.
Then Surin continued: "But you two can only live one, and when the time comes, I will have you interrogated the same question separately, and if any of you say something wrong or lie, you will know the consequences." ”
After hearing this, the two also glanced at each other, and then they were taken down.
Felicia also came over and sat on his lap at this time, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be quite smart! ”
Su Lin shrugged his shoulders and looked relaxed, this method is actually very simple, it is just an application of the prisoner's dilemma in game theory, everyone will choose what is beneficial to them, which is also human nature.
Soon Gru returned, leaning into Surin's ear and whispering something.
After listening to the report, Su Lin couldn't help frowning, patted the table and said, "It's a big trouble." ”
Meanwhile, on the hill was a different scene, with a dozen naked women locked up in a wooden house, their hair disheveled, their eyes swollen from crying.
At that moment a man walked up with a bucket of meat, and then threw the bucket directly on the ground, shouting, "Hurry up and eat, and get to work when you are done." ”
After these years of people saw these foods, they hurriedly rushed over and picked them up and stuffed them into their mouths, and devoured them, for fear that they would not eat them.
And the man also laughed when he saw this scene, and said jokingly: "You women, you don't have to live here anymore when you get pregnant with a child, but you have to make us cool before, haha!"
With that, he immediately took off his pants and lay on top of a woman.
Then these women were taken away by other men, and they had to change places and spend time with many men in one night.
None of the people in the town fell asleep last night, and when they heard the screams of the fighting outside, they all curled up in bed and did not dare to move, but could only pray silently in their hearts.
When they came out the next day, they saw the bodies of the barbarians lying in a neat place outside, and they immediately gathered around them and let out a loud cheer.
"It's actually Kui Fu, Quinu is finally dead. ”
"Father, sister, you can finally rest in heaven. ”
Many people will kick a few times and curse a few words after seeing the corpse on the ground.
Just then a man on a horse came out and shouted at the crowd, "Why are you still standing here? You don't want to eat lunch if you don't go to the fields?"
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly scattered and ran into the ground, not daring to stop at all.
When Surin came out of the tent and was about to take a walk, he saw two eleven or twelve-year-old boys standing in front of a barbarian with arrows stuck in his body, pulling out the arrows from his body and inserting them back again, their faces full of resentment.
Seeing this, he also walked over and patted the two of them on the shoulder and said, "Little one, does this man have a grudge against you? ”
"My sister was defiled and taken away by him, how can I not hate him,"
With that, the two of them pulled out two more arrows and plunged them into his head, thus confirming the great hatred in their hearts.
Then Surin led the two of them to the tent, and then took two sugar canes and handed them over, which they had cut a lot of and took away when they left.
Su Lin also picked up one and gnawed it, so they dared to eat it, and then they gnawed wildly, as if they were hungry.
Seeing this, he couldn't help asking, "Haven't you eaten? Why are you so hungry?"
One of the boys, Swell, was the first to complain: "I can't eat enough to eat at all, but I still have endless work to do every day." ”
"Then you can go up the mountain and find something to eat by yourself, and you won't go hungry if you hunt any prey!" Su Lin continued to ask, wanting to get some news about this place from their mouths.
"There are barbarians in the mountains, and we don't usually dare to go hunting, unless we go together under the protection of the guards. Another boy, Stetson, chimed in.
"And every once in a while, a few girls in our town go missing, and they haven't been seen since. ”
"We don't dare to go far, we've always grown up in this town, and I've heard that there are barbarians everywhere outside, and even half-orcs. ”
The three of them were eating and chatting in the tent, and Surin also got a lot of information from their mouths, and also confirmed the conjecture in his heart.
Then Su Lin brought some food for the two of them and then sent them away, looking at the back of their departure, Su Lin's eyes were both unbearable and angry, and the murderous aura in his heart became stronger and stronger.
At this time, the news that Quinu led the team to sneak attack and suffered heavy casualties also came back, and the leader of the barbarian tribe, the giant Shiba, was also surprised when he heard the news, and hurriedly got up: "What? Only a dozen people escaped back? Even Quinu died?"
"Yes, they seem to have been ambushed, and the other party has been prepared. The people below trembled and reported in shock, as if they were very afraid of Shi Ba.
"Ambush? Is it a mistake?"
Hearing this, Shi Ba also showed a puzzled expression, but then he made up his mind, and soon it was the appointed time, and he would know what to do when the time came.
When Stetson and Swell returned home with a bag of food, they immediately hid and waited for their mother to return.
However, after waiting for a while, he saw several soldiers enter the house and take the two away.
Then they went to Hebrew's house, and when they entered the house, they saw Hebrew sitting at the table eating, and they did not dare to move, but stood without saying a word.
After a while, Hebrew's desolate and hoarse voice sounded again: "What did you say to those people?"
"No, we didn't say anything. The two quickly shook their heads in denial.
"Really?" Hebrew suddenly turned his head to look at the two of them, his eyes were straight and his face was full of wrinkles and scars, and he looked terrible.
Seeing this, the two brothers hurriedly lowered their heads, and vigorously assured that they really didn't say anything.
Then Hebrew waved them both down, turned his head and went on eating.
However, his grandsons were not calm at this time, and said, "Grandpa, these two boys must have told that person about the matter here, so let them go?"
"Even if we say anything, will the two of them know our secret? The most important thing now is the upcoming date, this time is different, the situation has changed, and we must ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”
"Yes, Grandpa. ”
