Volume 1 Chapter 51: Ambush
"Sure enough, it's here. Shi Jin straddled the horse, Tipu Knife, dressed in black robes and black armor, and looked at the Rakshasa army winding through the valley below.
"There are 10,000 people!" The enemy was ten times larger than his side, but Dong Ping's voice was not afraid, but full of excitement.
"The regiment commander has signaled!" On the opposite hillside, a black flag was raised, and a nine-tailed white fox with two wings on the flag danced in the wind.
"Kill!" Dong Ping shouted violently, and raised his guns evenly.
The 800 horned bows of the 800 Chamberwei Iron Riders began to tilt the Rakshasas below in a deadly rain of arrows, while the 200 infantry, under the command of Fina and Mu Ying, pushed the stones and logs that had been prepared down the hillside.
In the heat of summer, when most of the Rakshasas were marching without armor, under the sudden attack of this divine soldier, within a few minutes, thousands of people were either hit by arrows or hit by rolling logs and stones, and the screams and wails resounded through the valley.
"Rush!" Shi Jin Tipu knife, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, slaughtered into the Rakshasa people who had become a mess, and Fei Na, Lan Yu, Dong Ping and others followed, slashing and killing wantonly.
"Sister Na's Yongfang is really powerful. Halfway up the mountain, Mo Li and Wei Ling stood side by side, looking at the battle situation under the mountain, on their sides, holding a hard bow in the clouds, and from time to time they sent an arrow, killing the Rakshasa who looked like a commander.
Mo Li asked Wei Ling, "How can you two sisters have a heaven-level combat skill? This thing is also rare in our Beiyue Sword Sect." ”
Wei Ling shrugged: "When I was a child, my hometown was plagued by pirates, and my parents and Sister Na died in the hands of pirates, and a passing woman repelled pirates for us, she said that I am a body of fire and have a bright future, so she accepted me as an apprentice, and when I saw that Sister Na and I were inseparable, I also accepted them together." However, our master was not very reliable, and after two months, he disappeared, and he was never seen again. ”
Mo said strangely: "Haikou, you are not from Youzhou?"
Wei Ling said: "Laizhou people, Sister Na organized a mercenary team, and there was a war in Youzhou, so we came over." ”
Mo Li said softly: "It's not easy, right?" The two girls, crawling around in this mercenary circle, must have suffered a lot.
Wei Ling shook her head: "I'm just a thug, it's Sister Na who is difficult." ”
An arrow pierced the throat of a blonde young man in gorgeous armor, put down the hard bow in his hand, and said, "As I expected, there are no sharpshooters, no Drew knights, and no heavy infantry with big axes, these are not the Rakshasa army at all. ”
Mo Li asked, "Then who are they?"
Yunzhong smiled: "Like us, the mercenary should have been hired by the Rakshasa people from Xiyi. ”
Wei Ling said: "It seems that the Rakshasa people let these mercenaries fight the forward, and the main force is still behind." ”
Yunzhong shook his head: "Without the main force, these mercenaries were sent to die, of course they don't know about it." ”
Seeing that the two women were puzzled, Yun Zhong smiled and said: "The traitors planted by the Rakshasa people in Leopard Water City should have been reported, saying that the Leopard Water City is empty, but the Rakshasa people can't be sure of the accuracy of the information, so they sent these mercenaries to test it." ”
Wei Ling said: "Then if we annihilate these mercenaries, won't we startle the snakes?"
"So we only used 1,000 people from the Flying Fox Regiment to fight this ambush battle, and in this way, we were sure that our forces were empty. ”
Mo Li shook his head: "The skull hurts." I knew it was just a rabble, so I wouldn't come, how good it would be to sleep in the city. ”
Yunzhong shook his head: "A mercenary team that can grow to more than 10,000 people will not be without a foundation. ”
Raising his hand, Mo Li looked in that direction, only to see that in the innermost circle of the Rakshasa mercenary team, a small group of knights had already put on their armor, straddled the tall horses, and launched a counter-charge towards the approaching Murwei heavy cavalry with spears.
"Paladin!" "Paladin!" rode in the clouds, grabbed the treasure sword, and rushed straight in that direction, Mo Li and Wei Ling followed closely behind.
Those paladins had already rushed to the hoplites led by Fena, taking advantage of the heavy horse spears and inflicting considerable casualties on the Flying Foxes.
"Oirards, stab their horses with spears!" shouted a squad leader of the Oirard cavalry, stabbing one of the paladins' horses first, and the knights were forced to fall off their horses, but were overtaken by the Chuyi, and the result was a sword.
The rest of the Oiral cavalry also stabbed their horses with spears, this trick caused a lot of confusion to the paladins, the armor on their bodies was at least ground level, and the defense was extremely strong and the weight was not light, so although their war horses were also extremely strong tall horses, but in order to reduce the load, the armor was not thick, which gave the Oiral cavalry a chance.
Fei Na and Mu Ying would not let go of this opportunity, and led the heavy infantry to surround and kill the fallen paladins, and when Yunzhong arrived, there were less than thirty paladins left in a total of about fifty people.
The Treasure Knife in the Cloud slashed the three people in a row, and Mo Li and Wei Ling had also arrived, and the two people with three swords slaughtered the remaining paladins.
"Stop!" a loud shout rang out, "Stop, we surrender." ”
"Then lay down your weapons!" another swing of the sword in the clouds, and a paladin's head separated.
"Lay down your arms!" shouted a man in blue armor among the paladins, "I'm Grand Master de Blassy, all members of the Nord Sea Mercenary Regiment, lay down your arms." ”
After Debrasi's order was shouted several times, the fighting gradually ceased, and the Rakshasas gathered their weapons in an orderly manner, then raised their hands and sat down on the ground, forming a circle.
Deblasi walked in front of Yunzhong: "I am the Grand Master of the Nord Sea Mercenary Regiment Deblasi, may I ask who your commander is?"
Yunzhong nodded: "What is in front of you." ”
Deblasi saluted: "I am here to surrender to you on behalf of all the Nord Sea Mercenary Regiment, I hope you can guarantee the safety of our lives as prisoners, and give us enough respect not to sell us to slave traders, my family will pay a ransom for all of us, and the price will satisfy you." ”
Yunzhong said: "You first hand over all your weapons, armor and belongings, and then we will first imprison you in Leopard Water City, and I will divide you into several teams to mine in several mines under my control, and when the war against Rakshasa is over, I will accept your ransom and give you freedom." ”
Deblasi frowned: "The war between Dashang and Rakshasa has been fought for nine years, and we don't know how long it will take, if we wait until the war is over before we can redeem ourselves, we can't accept it." ”
Yun Zhongzhong secretly thought that the war should end in two years at most, but he didn't want to discuss this matter with Deblassy, thought for a while, and said, "In this way, after three years, you can redeem yourself." ”
Deblasi also thought about it and said: "It's still a bit long, but I understand your position, this matter can be said like this first, and we can negotiate on this matter later." ”
Yunzhong smiled: "Then it's decided." ”
Deblassi looked embarrassed and said, "There is one more thing, Your Excellency the Honorable General of the Great Shang Kingdom. ”
Yunzhong said: "It doesn't hurt for you to say it. ”
"We have five hundred and seventy female soldiers, and of course I don't know how many are still alive, and I don't think they are fit to work in the mines, so I want you to make other arrangements for them. And," Deblasi looked at Yunzhong, "although as a mercenary, chastity may not be as important as ordinary women, I still hope that you will respect them and not force anything to happen." ”
Yunzhong nodded: "I will arrange for them to do some things like grazing cattle and sheep." ”
Deblasi saluted again, bowed and handed his saber to Yunzhong with both hands.
Yunzhong took the sword and said with a smile: "Having a leader like you is a lucky thing for your Nord Sea mercenary group. ”
If it weren't for Deblassy, Yunzhong would have handed over all the captives to Ziyu, and the only thing that awaited them was the slave market.
