Chapter 53: The Battle of Wencheng (6)
Everyone will more or less ignore some things when they see interests, as for how much, this depends on the size of the individual's determination and interests, the stronger the individual's determination, the stronger the ability to resist the temptation of interests, and the greater the interests, the weaker the individual's ability to resist, it can be said that this is the nature of ordinary people, if a person is not tempted, then only two things can be proven, either the interests are not big enough, or the person is really a saint. Obviously, watching the people of the mercenary army rob the outskirts of the city for a long time, it is a person who is annoyed, not to mention that this city lord himself is not a good bird, if it weren't for the great power of the other party, he would have thought about going out to fight and let these bandits pay for his interests. Now that the opportunity has come, those mercenaries who are hungry for profit have actually started to fight for his wealth, which makes him, who has been annoyed, see a chance to win.
Looking at the open city gate, the city guards who kept pouring out inside, Yi Yiyi looked at the car that was a little proud: "How do you know that he will come out?"
"Oh, there's nothing more, our scouts nearby asked the residents here, and the property within twenty kilometers of this city is owned by the city lord alone, and this city lord is very stingy, and he takes these things very seriously. And he himself is a greedy lord, if he is not fooled, it is strange?" said Che Yu triumphantly.
"Come on, don't sell treasure here, hurry up and arrange the rest of the things, I don't want to camp outside at night." Kong Ming smiled, of course Kong Ming knows the character of this guy very clearly, usually there is nothing, but once he is proud, it is endless, and he is about to forget about it.
"Well, I'll go and arrange it first. Che Yi winked at Yi Yiyi. And he went.
Su Jin is a captain of the three armies of the Mercenary Army, a senior swordsman who joined the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army in Hairong City, and he is a native of the Chaos Lands. If many people were ordered to join the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army because of other empires and kingdoms in order to keep Kong Ming in check, then Su Jin was a high-level swordsman who simply wanted to exercise his swordsmanship and improve himself through the battles on the battlefield. After inadvertently joining the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army, he found that he didn't know when he started, and he really liked this mercenary army, where he could not only improve his swordsmanship, but also meet many people and increase his knowledge. There are people from the Harvey Empire, the Huayuan Empire, the Han Kingdom, and many countries that I don't know, big and small, and sometimes Su Jin is thinking. Is this mercenary army a combined army of various countries? But this idea was only an idea in my spare time, and I gave it up at once. Here he came into contact with many different high-level swordsmen and great swordsmen. He kept asking people around him for advice. This has improved his abilities a lot.
Just now, when he was organizing the mercenaries in his team to count the harvest in a nobleman's manor, an inexplicable order suddenly came from above, which made him have a little conflict with the neighboring team's Kangyu, and there must be blood in the conflict, but there must be no serious injuries or human lives. This order really embarrassed him, and the two were colleagues who worked together. The feelings are okay, but there are already arrangements from above, so he found three or four mercenaries and asked them to go to the back in their arms to find some animal blood and put it on their bodies. Always ready to sacrifice, of course this is a false sacrifice. Just after Su Jin made the arrangement, Kangyu came with people, and he was violent, as if Su Jin owed him a lot of money. So then, except for a few people who had been specially arranged to know what was going to happen, everyone else was kept in the dark. The two teams were in a clearing in front of the nobleman's estate, one of the best places in the city. And it is said that the lord of the castle likes to look here from the castle lord's mansion, because this is his best manor, there is no one, so the lord of the castle often looks at this place from the castle lord's mansion. In fact, anyone who knows the inside story knows that this is the place where the city lord placed him to collect beautiful women, but because of the arrival of the war, he hurriedly transferred the people here to the city. And now he watched from the top of the city as these mud legs dangled in the best manor, and it was not a torture for the city lord to be unpaid.
"Kangyu, what are you doing here, you must know that this is not your mission area!" Su Jin said, after all, his main focus was on the sword, so he usually communicated with people a lot, and there was not much attack power between words.
"Su Jin, the head of the regiment just stipulates that this side is our regiment's territory, but there is no stipulation where it is yours and where it is ours, are we going too far?" Kangyu knew that Su Jin was not good at words, so he winked at Su Jin, Su Jin didn't say anything when he saw this situation, knowing that it was indeed not a wise choice for him to be stupid and fight with this kind of oil. Fortunately, he has a team vice-president, and he is a clever grandson monkey.
"Fish, are you really a plate of fish? Didn't you see us here, why are you still here? Damn, don't you really want to be a fish?"
Kangyu was so angry that he choked at this time, although he said that he was making a show, but this dead monkey was really talking to death. The name Kangyu is not his real name, but when he joined the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army, the ghost envoy took such a name, and by the time he wanted to change it, it was too late, and the whole group knew that there was a person whose name was Kangyu. So healthy fish, plagued fish, grilled fish, fried fish, steamed fish and so on these titles came, even Kong Ming heard about such a fish of the third division, and later a small part of the three divisions were drawn out to form the three armies, and this fish also came, so the three dead fish became the fish of the three armies again.
"Monkey, are you looking for death, hum!" Kangyu really didn't feel good in his heart, although this is a task, but this kind of task is too uncomfortable, for Kangyu, an old mercenary, this is really a heavy test, because everyone has never done anything like this, and now there is no way, the fighting mouth Kangyu is ironclad to fight Sun Monkey, be direct, let's fight, action is better than a qiē words.
"Put your sword away and its brother. Kangyu said directly.
"Put your sword away, our old mercenary tradition. !"
The two teams fought directly for a while, with no fighting spirit, no swords, and no bricks. Only empty-handed, this is a way for mercenaries to resolve their contradictions with each other, the most primitive way. Dozens of people fought in the dark, the smoke and dust were billowing out, and it was difficult not to see it from afar, and suddenly, a mercenary was beaten to the point of blood flying, "Ah!", and flew out far away, and the blood flew high. Then he fell down hard and fainted all of a sudden. Of course, in order to show this authenticity, the mercenary closed his eyes tightly and didn't dare to open them at all, even Su Jin and Kangyu were stunned after seeing it. Every fight. There are several twists, one is to take a weapon. The other is seeing blood. Once the blood is seen, the fight is almost uncontrollable. So one after another, people on both sides flew out, and blood sprayed all over the place, so those who didn't know, and those who knew couldn't control it anymore, except for not using weapons and killing hands. Everything else is gone, and the scene is no less than a volcanic eruption.
This is just a fragment of the mercenary army, because the same thing is found in every city that can be seen in the whole city, and it is the only way to get the army of the city to leave the safe city.
Su Jin was having a good time fighting with Kangyu. Suddenly, a man ran over and said, "Captain, the Harvey City Defense Army is out!"
"Damn, what the hell, go aside, sigh, stinky fish, you're really here!"
"Why do you have to think about anything in a fight? You should be beaten!" Kang Yu said with a smug smile, the two of them are at the same level, there is not much difference, although it is said that you can't use your fighting spirit, but this feeling is really good.
"Captain, the Harvey Army is out of town!" the mercenary could only shout in his loudest voice, and this time, everyone heard it, looked at him stupidly, and one of them said stupidly, "Say it again." ”
"The Harvey Army is out of town!" the mercenary had to shout again, and this time everyone heard it.
"Damn, assemble, assemble!" Su Jin shouted, so those mercenaries went to inform the others to come over.
"You guys take these bastards lying down and go to a garbage dump with your back to the city, hurry up. Su Jin thought about it for a while, as if there was something else that had not been done, and suddenly thought of these guys who were performing, from the beginning, after falling to the ground with exaggerated happiness, they happily closed their eyes and listened to people fighting. Then I saw a few mercenaries coming, lifting up a few guys lying on the ground, and then, after disappearing into a corner, they went directly to the ground.
"Can you be lighter, is it easy for me to play dead after all my hard work? One of them patted his ass and got up.
"Come on, what have you done besides pretending to be dead? We've been fighting for more than thirty minutes, so be content!" said a mercenary carrying someone.
"Who said that, I don't know if it was that bastard who took the time to step on my feet, if I knew who it was, I would have to skin him. The man was still unrelenting.
"Come on, come on, no more nonsense, hurry up and change your clothes, Harvey's city defense army is coming, let's leave quickly. The mercenary who carried the man said weakly.
Su Jin quickly gathered the personnel, and then, according to the prior deployment, immediately took the soldiers away from the city lord's courtyard and headed towards the place where the whole division was assembled. Weicheng is not a military city, and the mounts in the city are also very limited, so the more than 40,000 Harvey city defense troops who went out of the city did not have many cavalry, basically mainly infantry, which also allowed these mercenaries to have a certain amount of time to gather. The distance of more than ten kilometers is only a short hour for the people of the Huatian Continent, but because the army wants to go out of the city to assemble, it will take a lot of time to form a phalanx, which is not allowed by the city lord of Weicheng, so after a third of the army, that is, more than 10,000 people left the city, he was reluctant to let the city defense army attack in the direction of the other courtyard.
In the woods behind the annex, one division of the three armies hurriedly assembled at this temporary assembly site, and their task now was to drag the city defense army here, and cooperate with the other division in the future to annihilate the enemy here. Su Jin once again looked at his opponent Kangyu just now, and sneered: "Fish, I'm really embarrassed just now, I didn't expect the head of the regiment to let the two of us fight, but it was really cool to fight just now, how about it, I have a chance to do it again." ”
"yes, I don't know who suffered in the end, alas, yes. Su Mian, where did you get that dark circle on your eye socket?"
Su Jin was so angry that he choked up, if it wasn't for the little soldier who came over and said this, he still had some advantages, but in the end it became like this, at this time, there was no way to avenge this revenge, so he could only wait for an opportunity in the future to find a way to avenge this revenge.
"Come on, you two don't say any more. Now we are all lined up in a phalanx, and in a moment Harvey's city guards will come, and we will fight here, I think it will be an extremely fierce battle, and then rest. Their regimental commander said from the side.
An hour passed. A group of city defense troops that arrived at the manor attacked the snow wolf mercenary army in the manor as a team. They thought they would see a lot of mercenaries fleeing in all directions, but instead they saw a neat formation of mercenaries waiting for their arrival. This moment. The captains of the city defense seemed to feel something. But there is not so much thought in front of them, only attack, because behind them, there are 40,000 city defense troops coming, and these are also their sustenance. However, this qiē was destined to be unrealizable, from the moment the rearguard of the 40,000 city defense army broke away from the city. The hidden mercenaries began to keep an eye on them, and when the defenders of the city defense army were far enough away from the city, the mercenary army began to move, and the target was not the city. It's those city defense armies, if you annihilate the city defense forces that have left the city to protect them, then the siege will not be a problem.
Che Yi with 50,000 mercenaries directly cut off the retreat of the city defense army from behind, and Kong Ming also followed them to avoid any accidents.
"How do you feel?" asked Su Jin to the Kangyu not far away.
"Excited, how about we have a friendly match?" shouted Kangyu.
"What friendly match?" Su Jin was a little strange that this Kangyu could still have such a table in this situation.
"Look, our team will kill a lot of enemies later, how about it, if the losing side pays for a treat, brothers, what do you say?" Kang Yu said to the mercenary behind him.
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
"If the two captains do it again, we'll be happier and kill more enemies, don't you think?" said one of the mercenaries mischievously.
"Let's have a fight after the killing?" Kangyu asked Su Jin.
"Good!" Su Jin replied to Kangyu's challenge.
"Kill-" The division commander drew his sword and pointed forward, their division was responsible for attracting the city defenders in this direction, and holding them off, not giving them a quick departure, in fact, if they were attacked in any direction, then they would attack the enemy in place, and hold back, waiting for the support of the other divisions. So now they just have to attack the enemy and hold them back, and they will be considered to have completed their mission.
"Kill—" With the sound, the mercenaries of the entire division rushed from the woods towards the Harvey army in front.
The attack of the mercenary army stunned the city defense army in front, thinking that these people had already dispersed and would not be able to assemble for a while, but when they thought of it, they saw such a neat scene, and the bad psychology became bigger and bigger. But now the mercenary army has rushed over, and the battle has begun. Su Jin and Kangyu both rushed to the front of the whole team, and naturally turned into a small formation suitable for fighting, and now this battle formation has been mastered by these recruits after many trainings. The two armies were killed together at once, one side was the city defense army, the combat power was not strong, usually it was just composed of some ruffians and idle people, and now it was a private army raised by many nobles, the private army can be said to be the armed forces that the nobles tried to cultivate to serve them, it can be said to be an elite, and the combat effectiveness of a single person is much stronger than the people of the mercenary army on average, but they have a lot less combat and experience like mercenaries. And now the mercenary army they are facing is a newly recruited recruit in Wencheng and its nearby towns, all of them are soldiers of the third level and above, but they have also not experienced war, and in order to make them a warrior as much as possible, Kong Ming has incorporated a small number of people in the Snow Wolf mercenary army who have experienced many battles into this army, and it can be said that the backbone of each new army is the elite of the mercenary army. The meeting between the two armies is a feeling of half-heartedness. In fact, this is a battle between new recruits relative to individual soldiers.
Many times of training let the mercenary army when approaching the Harvey army, rows of flying towards Harvey's city defenses, Harvey city guards think that they have not seen this kind of tactics, for a while, some soldiers opened the protective shield of fighting spirit, and some people are stunned when they look at those who flew over, no reaction, this is the disease of recruits, nothing about strength, only psychology, even many recruits in the mercenary army are also seeing blood for the first time, and they see so many people lying in front of their eyes, blood flowing, corpses paving the way, and they can't accept this fact for a while, there are many recruits in the hands of the sword has appeared, Fortunately, the squad leaders and above in the mercenary army are all elites transferred from the original magic jockeys, and they are quite skilled in this kind of thing, and directly replace the positions of those stunned soldiers with the soldiers in the back, and then let them be caught in the flow of people in advance, experience the feeling of battle, and let them have a time to react, through guò This short period of reflection, let them adapt to this environment at once. As a great military strategist said, "Even the bravest soldier gets dizzy when he goes to battle for the first time, and this has nothing to do with bravery or cowardice, but is only the deepest self-struggle in the human heart." ”
The forwards of the two sides quickly collided together, and the mercenaries behind the mercenary army took out bows and arrows from the space rings, without accurate heads, all of them were projectiles, constantly attacking the rear of the Harvey army, and there were several powerful magicians in the Harvey army's formation who also continued to cast magic, covering the mercenary camp, and both sides suddenly hit the real fire.
"Boom!"
Su Jin's long sword slashed down a captain of the Harvey Army in front of him, and the magic in the distance directly covered him, and he hurriedly opened the protective shield, finally because it was timely, so he didn't suffer too much damage, but the people around Su Jin were not so lucky, many people were slightly injured, and even many of the enemy were injured in this magic attack, but fortunately, the enemy's magician put the magic of face killing, although the coverage was large, the lethality was not very high, and the most important thing was that they did not form a killing scale, and they could not kill mercenaries on a large scale。 But this is not a reason to make Su Jin annoyed, under normal circumstances, veterans know that in order to avoid magic attacks and hurt their own people, they usually put magic at the junction of the two armies to a little farther away from the enemy's side, so when generally attacking, veterans try to move forward as much as possible to avoid being killed by the enemy's magic, which has proved to be a good method. But this time it made Su Jin so annoyed to death, he didn't expect that the enemy's magician didn't follow this rule this time, thinking that it was not intentional, it was just a person who had just entered the battlefield and used magic indiscriminately. But the next moment he didn't have to worry about this magician, because when this magician cast his magic, his location had already been revealed, and those archers in the group shot an arrow directly at that magician, and in order to ensure the effect, the other temporary archers also threw arrows at that place, covering the whole area, thinking that the magician could not survive this dense attack.
"Damn, unlucky!" Kangyu was also subjected to such a substitution on the other side, "All the archers, the target, forty meters ahead, throw, release!" Kangyu stepped back a little, and after giving up the position of the formation in front of him, he hurriedly gave an order, you must know that although he does not have the help of the archers here like Su Jin, he always has his own methods, as long as it is a random arrow, he can shoot people to death, so who does he care about? Hundreds of arrows flew from his head into the enemy's camp, and the distance was about where he had said. Of these hundreds of arrows, dozens were fired by Kangyu's team, while others were a form of those behind the phalanx using arrows as fire to support the battle ahead. (To be continued......)
