Chapter 59: Please Don't Meddle
The only thing Barria wasn't sure about was the number of people on the other side, because when they fought with Barria before, there were more than that. Judging from the fact that Reggie and the others traveled lightly and did not even have baggage, it is obvious that they just divided their troops to "have fun" alone. Judging by their outfits, Barria used one sentence to express his affirmation.
"Even if these bastards turn to ashes and are thrown into a dung pit, Lao Tzu will recognize them!" Barria said with almost gritted teeth, which was tantamount to becoming a prelude to a bloody storm.
"Prepare for me! Hold on for a while, and we will be able to repel these enemies! They have nothing to fear!" Reggie's heart-rending cry suddenly rang out, and even Reggie's slow reaction now knew that today's encounter was inevitable. The only hope now is to hold on to help.
With years of experience as a mercenary, Reggie felt that in such a situation where the disparity in numbers was not very large, it would be no problem for his subordinates, who had cooperated with each other for many years, to hold out for most of the day. As if to express his determination, as soon as Reggie's words fell, a signal arrow shot straight into the air with a sharp and piercing roar, and then exploded, and a straight black smoke suddenly shot straight into the sky.
This kind of signal arrow is similar to the traditional alarm method of the Beamon Empire, and the wolf smoke catalyzed by igniting wolf dung, but it is faster and easier to carry, and it is a very practical low-level magic equipment. The role is also very monotonous, that is, it is used to notify allies that they have encountered an unexpected situation and need support.
Reggie launched this signal arrow, of course, in the hope that the Rothschild family would follow up slowly. In addition to the other half of Reggie's men and horses, there is also the Rothschild's own captive escort force, although the number is only about 300 people, but the combat effectiveness is definitely one level stronger than Reggie's mercenary group. Those guys are rare heavy shield and axe warriors. Super scary storage zài.
Reggie has never figured this out, according to common sense, the Rothschilds' own caravan escort force has always been relatively strong, and there is generally no need to hire a third-rate mercenary group like Reggie alone to do chores. It is self-evident how fierce the descendants of this kind of family are cultivated by themselves, coupled with the prominent status of their family, how many blind guys in the entire Pan-American Continent dare to provoke?
The scale of the caravan group that hired Reggie this time was extremely large, and I heard Herder brag in his spare time that the purpose of their trip to the Beamon Empire this time was to use these goods to smash the market of the Beamon Empire. Make a lot of money. Since with such a grand wish, the scale of the caravan group is also so huge, how can it hire a mercenary group of no more than a thousand people?
Although in addition to the three hundred heavily armed shield and axe warriors, the other merchant brigades accompanying them also had some combat effectiveness, but they were not professional warriors after all, and what happened to them, how much role these people could play, Reggie didn't have a clue in his heart. And the journey, which was supposed to be smooth sailing, is almost to the destination. The eastern frontier of the Beamon Empire was almost in sight, but suddenly it became a branch. These armed groups that popped up one after another not only did not give face to the Rothschilds, but also kept coming to find trouble as if they had been blinded by lard. Reggie thought it was too weird.
What Reggie didn't know was that the Rothschilds had never had a weaker escort force than this one in the Caravan of the Beamon Empire. Indeed, the Rothschilds had a big business. Why do you need an external armed force to act as a guard? Even if there is, this is rare. The caravan was not equipped with a strong enough armed force, simply because the two heads of the caravan were in a mess in Sri Lanka. Not only did he not make any money, but he also lost a lot of sinners.
Hoines was demoted to take charge of the caravan group, and the only support he received was a sentence from a family executive, and this sentence did not have the slightest nutritional value, just five words: "Figure it out yourself!" The executives of the family are also ruthless enough, and they do what they say, no matter how soft and hard Hones is, they finally gave him three hundred heavily armed shield and axe warriors as support, and nothing else!
Herder, who has a keen sense of smell, knew that this matter was caused by himself, so he hurriedly paid out of his own pocket and found the wronged man, the Reggie mercenary group. Until now, Reggie has not figured out that in fact, he is not favored by the famous Rothschilds, but is completely hired by Herder. Relying on them, Herder was able to suffer less from Hoins's troubles, and everyone's life was equally difficult.
"Hold on for a while!?Are you dreaming?In front of Lao Tzu, do you still want to hold on for a while?You keep one and try it!" Commander Cao spewed out a thick puff of smoke arrogantly, and there seemed to be four big characters on his face, "Unstoppable"!
From an outsider's point of view, Captain Cao's words seem to blow all the, but even Scarlett and Gale don't think Captain Cao's words are outrageous, and they are even a little modest. If you had seen how the main fighters of these raiding groups had grown savagely, and if you had known how frenzied their autonomous frenzy had reached, a smart person would definitely choose to flee as soon as they met them, at least for the rest of their lives. Seeing Reggie's attitude of being ready to fight to the death, Scarlett and Gale looked at each other with a wry smile, this is really a big dream.
"You two just give me a look at the back, this time I don't need you to provide me with the slightest help, Lao Tzu wants to let the group of fools on the other side understand what brutality is!" Feeling that Scarlett behind him took off the unique "belly pocket", Gail also held the sword in his hand, but the head of Cao reached out to stop them first, and spoke with a stern face.
Seeing that Scarlett was about to speak, Commander Cao hurriedly said: "It's not that I look down on you and treat you as outsiders, just let you observe the combat style of our plundering regiment first." As you know, I'm a very picky person, and I will never make a joke about my brother's life. If I needed your help, I would have said it directly, but I think it would be disrespectful to my brother if I still have to rely on your help for this kind of unpopular goods!"
Captain Cao still feels a little awkward more or less subconsciously, this guy with a bit of machismo tendencies has always thought that fighting a war is what their big men do, but it is not an industry that the delicate little girl should be engaged in. Even a priest like Scarlett. Captain Cao felt that he and his team did not need it. Of course, Captain Cao has said everything about this, even if Scarlett and the two have that heart, they have to hold back their temperament.
"Everyone has it, all of them should be serious with Lao Tzu, and give Lao Tzu a hard time to overthrow them! Your task is to make those fools understand that all they can get from us is remorse and tears! Only give you half a pillar of incense time, if there is anyone standing in front of Lao Tzu, you will wait to go back and be locked up one by one!" Captain Cao shouted at the top of his throat.
"Yes!" replied to Commander Cao's uniform roar, and all the main soldiers of the raiding regiment assumed a posture of attack at the same time. The sound of blade grinding almost at the same time also made Reggie's heart tighten.
"I'll leave it to you!" Captain Cao himself was not ready to make a move, but instead hugged his hands in front of his chest and said to the Pi Jiaotou who was eager to try. The head of the Pi sect has been gearing up for a long time, constantly using exaggerated body language to hint that Commander Cao handed over this combat mission to him, and finally complied with his wishes.
"Rush!" Sect Leader replied more simply, he pulled out his pale green metal greatsword, kicked his legs, and shot straight out like a cannonball. This sub-saint-level master is like an old prostitute who has been ** for decades, and suddenly enters the Qinglou with all his pockets in his pocket. The battle is extremely strong!
The action of the Leather Sect Leader was just a hint of the beginning of the game, and immediately after, the Nine Raiders also howled and rushed out, and the screams of these guys almost scared Scarlett and Gale out of their heart attacks. They were normal a moment ago. In the blink of an eye, he was crazy like a mental patient, and the contrast was too great.
If you want to succeed, you must go crazy first and rush forward with your eyes closed! This is the culture of success on the battlefield that Commander Cao often emphasized. It has already penetrated into the souls of the soldiers of the raiding regiment. Captain Cao's closed-door devil training for them day after day is, in a sense, like putting a tiger in a cage and starving. They were never fed. Every time they meet an opponent, they are also vulnerable, which makes their ** Cheng dù keep it very well, once they see their prey, everyone is driven by hatred, and there is an indescribable excitement.
They are in a peculiar mood right now, and they want to slash people with a big blow and cut the enemy to the ground as quickly as possible. In other words, they are also looking forward to being cut down to alleviate the loneliness of the master......
The two sides were separated by almost an arrow's length, which was the favorite short charge distance for the Marauder Regiment's soldiers. In the process of charging, they are just able to throw the medium-range weapons on their backs, and the next moment they inflict heavy damage on the opponent, they will appear in front of the opponent and strike the final blow with a furious close-up force. This is a textbook-like standard style of play that the raiding group has cultivated for a long time, and it doesn't even need to be ordered by the head of the skin.
Countless javelins were shot into the air in batches, just looking at the dense shadows, it already made Reggie and the others feel nervous. Many people subconsciously raised their heads, and screams were already sounding on both sides of the array. If you look down from the sky, you will find that the left and right wings of the square battle array set up by the Reggie mercenary group instantly burst into a layer of blood, and the sharp knife assault array composed of a hundred brave and skilled timber wolf warriors has been plunged straight into it like two sharp knives.
The Damascus scimitars of the wolf knights swung roundly, all of which were rough and heroic, and they could be described as invincible. With the rain of javelins falling from the sky, these wolf knights are like heroes walking in the rain, elegant and resolute! Even though all the members of the Reggie mercenary group are light cavalry with excellent mobility, Reggie also made a huge mistake, when he ordered the cavalry to form such a defensive formation, it means that he took the initiative to abandon his advantage.
Whether it is light cavalry or heavy cavalry, they have always been the main force responsible for attacking on the battlefield, and they seem to be a bit amateurish in this kind of work. Especially when the opponent is also a cavalry, this gap will be infinitely magnified. With the momentum of the charge, the Timberwolf Knights slashed these peers as easily as chopping melons and vegetables, while the mercenaries were already in a mess.
The mercenaries of the Reggie Mercenary Regiment usually cooperate tacitly, and they all have the upper hand in the face of the bandits in the Exiled Realm, but now they are not facing ordinary bandits, but facing an extremely professional and professional regular army!
Their mounts are also frightened, the timberwolf warriors are all giant wolf mounts, and they are all war horses, just ordinary war horses, not better mounts like giant bone horses. The war horse may be stronger than the giant wolf in terms of the sustained ability of galloping, but under this situation of abandoning the movement war, the war horse not only does not have the slightest advantage at all, but also breaks out an extremely terrifying fatal wound.
These horses are herbivores, and when faced with hordes of predators that flow with a harazi panting. No matter how hard the knights on their backs tried to restrain them, they were inevitably thrown into chaos, and panic spread like a plague. This is the instinctive reaction of herbivores to predators, not those precious breeds, and it is almost impossible to train them to be unfazed.
The cavalry of the Beamon Empire is actually not bad, only the equipment is bad. There are many mounts raised by the Beamon Orcs, all of which are very special on the battlefield, such as the standard mounts of the Wolf Werewolf. Not only are werewolf warriors difficult, but even their mounts are extremely intimidating. When encountering this kind of cavalry with ordinary war horses as mounts, it directly took a big advantage.
These mercenaries have to restrain their mounts while also trembling with the Timberwolf Knight, which is a completely impossible task. Many mercenaries still have their backs to their opponents when they rush to the front, you hit me, I squeeze you. Therefore, the sense of accomplishment of the timberwolves warriors has been lowered by one level, and such opponents are not even much stronger than the stakes they usually cut......
