17. Ambush
The soldiers were cleaning the battlefield and did not die, but two soldiers were injured, one of them was sprained by himself, he was too nervous, watching the soldiers collecting loot, Wang Qinian put his mind at ease, although he was very calm on the surface, but he was still very nervous in his heart, Franklin was completely relieved, he was the most nervous person, after all, Franklin had never heard of this method of warfare, although he was under the leadership of Wang Qinian, pretending to be calm, but he was nervous to death, success or failure was related to his future, and he finally won.
Becky was busy treating two wounded soldiers, an apprentice in water magic with a knack for healing. The soldiers were smiling, the things that the enemy looted were valuables, this was up to Raymond to worry about, anyway, there were corresponding regulations, Wang Qinian did not ask, he and Franklin began to interrogate the knight.
The knight can be regarded as a quasi-nobleman, Wang Qinian interrogated it, he is also very cooperative, as a knight, it can be redeemed with money, he is Baron Eden's subordinate under Earl Edward, and Baron Eden's troops are attacking, Wang Qinian asked Baron Eden's position and strength, Baron Eden has more than 60 people, and there is a knight, but not with them.
Hearing this news, the two fell into deep thought, the other party far surpassed them in strength, Franklin's first thought was to avoid it, and Wang Qinian was the same, but after thinking about it, it was not impossible to eat the other party, Wang Qinian's understanding of war was to destroy the other party, regardless of what means.
In the tent, Wang Qinian said his thoughts, which startled Franklin and Raymond: "You want to move Baron Eden?"
"You see, can you eat him, he is alone in our side, Count Lane is not in a good situation, and urgently needs an exciting news, if you destroy him, the effect is far greater than you imagined, what I planned for you before, you have to re-plan, you may not really need the title of the family." Wang Qinian tempted.
Franklin felt his blood rush up for a moment, and he didn't even think about it, "With such a great merit?"
"Of course there is, with 20 people to defeat more than 60 enemies, including a team of knights, the key is to stop the enemy's arrogance, do you say the credit is great?" Wang Qinian said.
"But how can we defeat the enemy, they are more than sixty people, and a dozen knights, isn't it whimsical?" Franklin finally knew his situation.
Lei Meng was on the side, and he also felt that it was a strange thing, Wang Qinian said: "I just have an idea, whether it will work or not, it depends on the enemy's situation, as well as the terrain and other factors, and take the nearby topographic map." ”
Betsy will be the map nearby, the map is relatively simple, but it is enough, Wang Qinian looked at the map, fell into thought, twenty people to deal with more than sixty people, this scale is not large, but it is also a pair of three, the other party also has more than a dozen knights, belonging to the strength, soldiers can not match at all, after all, it belongs to the peasant army.
The first thing that comes to mind in Wang Qinian's heart is the fire attack, the fire attack in this world is not strange, but the conscious fire attack is rare, but after the capture of the other party, put a fire, to fire attack must choose a good fire field, it is autumn now, although the grass and trees have been yellowish, but not easy to catch fire, the previous work must be done.
Wang Qinian looked at the map for a long time, and finally chose a place, the grass is very high, there are some mountains around, not too high, but there are a large number of trees on the mountain, Wang Qinian will point his hand, right here.
When he said what he thought, the three men looked at him dumbfounded, and Raymond said, "This is not chivalry!"
Wang Qinian patted his head with his hand: "You still talk about chivalry, chivalry can be done to your own people, and chivalry can be used against enemies, think about it, in history, Charlemagne dealt with the Gaocha people, but he talked about chivalry, and the Kaiwang Emperor of Hulu dealt with barbarians, but he once talked about chivalry to barbarians." ”
Charlemagne and Emperor Kaiwang established great achievements, held high the banner of the founder, conquered the Quartet, and achieved today's bishop to unify the Taixi continent, people praised the name of the two emperors, their war history is tricky, especially against the Gaocha and the barbarians, Charlemagne betrayed the alliance three times, and the Emperor Kaiwang made a covenant, while the opponent celebrated, raided in one fell swoop, and succeeded, these deeds people have selectively forgotten, or beautify him.
When Wang Qinian mentioned this, Franklin smiled: "As long as we win, who cares how the victory comes." ”
Wang Qinian made some exceptions, and when he thought about it, he was relieved, although Franklin was a low-level knight, he was also a person in the Edmund family who had seen the world, and he was afraid that he had already seen it in the capital of Leah.
They discussed the details again, and decided to send two men to meet Baron Edmund with the knight, and to ask him to catch up with him as much as possible, and to help Franklin if necessary, and to send scouts to reconnoiter as soon as daybreak began, and at the same time set up camp and headed straight for Markpole Hill, where they had chosen the place of ambush.
The two sides are not high mountains, the mountain is only about 100 cubits high, the elbow is the universal length unit in this world, about half a meter, historically made by Charlemagne, with his elbow length prevails, legend has it that Charlemagne's elbow is particularly long, looks like a gorilla.
They had adopted the method of waiting for the rabbits, and this road was most likely to be passed by Baron Eden, and it was here that they were heading, and after passing through here, a few miles ahead was a rich village, which was easy to obtain supplies as a way to penetrate deep into enemy territory.
The two scouts came back one after another, and they rode the horses of the two subordinate knights, bringing news to confirm Wang Qinian's prediction, and Raymond saw this, and shouted: "Brothers, the enemy is coming, we are ready!"
The soldiers got busy, and poured oil on the grass, and pitifully poured all the oil they had eaten, and spread the withered grass, and got busy, and went to the front again, and cut down the trees to block the exit.
After doing this qiē, he retreated to the forest on the mountain, and Raymond took twelve soldiers and two crossbows to the opposite mountain, and the rest of the people were on another mountain.
After waiting for three and a half hours, Baron Eden appeared, a group of more than sixty people, gathered together, he brought more than a hundred people this time, the team was divided into many branches, and the rest of the teams were not many people, at most twenty people, led by several knights, his one was in the center, and there was also a reception, of course, it was not him who answered others, but others who answered him.
Along the way, he broke into the territory of Earl Lane, last time Count Edward suffered a loss, this time he struck first, I heard that the Grand Duke of Leah was ready to send someone to persuade peace, and at the same time, the Holy Eton Holy See also intended to persuade peace, Count Edward decided to make a time difference, first get the benefits in hand, and then talk about it, and there are many bargaining chips in the negotiation.
He met little resistance, and Count Lane was clearly ill-prepared, and as time went on, he began to look down on Count Lane more and more, he was not a soldier, but he was only a little carried away by his ancestors.
Seeing the valley, a knight said, "Lord Baron, the terrain ahead is to prevent an ambush." ”
He took one look at it and said, "It's nothing, it's just two small mountain bags, besides, we have a bunch of knights like you, and Wizard Mike, who can stop us, and if there is anyone, I want to duel him!"
After finishing speaking, they entered the valley, in the valley, the grass was almost to the top of people's heads, Wang Qinian observed them on the top of the mountain, saw that they were almost in the ambush circle, and the chanting in his mouth started, a fireball with a large head appeared, boom, and threw it straight to the foot of the mountain, this is a signal, it is also an attack, the fireball is not aimed at people, as soon as it lands, boom, the fire ignites, Betsy's wand is in hand, seeing Wang Qinian's hand, with a wave of his hand, a fireball also goes out, but compared to Wang Qinian, it is much smaller, Raymond over there saw it, waved his hand, and two crossbow arrows appeared, tied with strips of cloth on them, and also lit a fire, and at the same time, heard a squeak, and the big tree in the valley also fell down, blocking the way out.
The fire together, although it has not yet dried up, but as long as the fire is together, no matter what, the fire quickly connected again, and only a panic was heard: "Quick, protect the baron and rush out of Taniguchi!" With the chanting, a shield enveloped the Baron and Mike, and the knights rushed straight ahead, and when they reached Taniguchi, they found that Taniguchi had already been filled with fallen trees.
And his foot soldiers are struggling in the fire at this time, Wang Qinian can't bear it in his heart, but he is still ruthless, a whirlwind is generated, the fire borrows the wind, and there are several people high, among the knights, only when they reach the real knights, can they stimulate the sword qi and the like, the low-level knights are much stronger than ordinary people in strength, but they can't resist such a fire, in the fire, one by one the knights are wearing armor, but at this time it has become a fatal place for them, and people shout for a while.
Franklin was stunned, and Betsy didn't expect that the fire would be so big, only Wang Qinian knew that it was normal, on Earth, he had seen forest fires on TV, and compared to these, it was much bigger. Looking at the fire below the mountain, and the people struggling in it, several knights finally broke out and ran towards the mountain, among them Baron Eden and Mike.
Wang Qinian sighed, and began to chant in his mouth, these are all powerful people, ordinary soldiers can no longer deal with them, unless there are thousands of them, as soon as Wang Qinian chanted, Betsy also began to chant.
As soon as Mike heard the chanting, he knew that it was broken, and hurriedly began to chant, he had not finished chanting, a fireball had rushed over, he accelerated the chanting, and finally at the moment when the fireball came, a faint light shield was formed, boom, the two annihilated each other, he just breathed a sigh of relief, the wind blade flashed, although it was only the basic magic of the wind system, but the time was just right, it was cut to his throat, and suddenly blood splashed, and he dismounted.
He actually died at the hands of a magic apprentice, as soon as he died, the chanting began again, and Baron Eden shouted: "I surrender, I surrender!" As soon as he spoke, the knight beside him sighed, the white light of the armor on his body was retracted, and the sword in his hand was thrown to the ground, and several soldiers carefully stepped forward with hook scythes and forced them with guns.
