Chapter 123 Mobilizing the Masses

Afterwards, things developed as Jiang Jie and the others had imagined. After seeing the head of the grain requisition officer, villagers in many villages directly chose to join the rebel army, and there was no need for Jiang Jie and the others to waste their words.

During the period, they also encountered some small enemy troops patrolling the territory, all of which were easily dealt with by those old players.This also made these villagers see the power of these old players, and they became more confident in rebelling.

In just two days, Jiang Jie and the others swept through more than a dozen villages and pulled up an army of more than 2000 people. Of course, since many of them were old, weak, women and children, no more than 500 people.

Even so, it has caused a shock to those rebellious nobles. After all, they are now fighting fiercely with the allied forces of the Orcs and the Iron Bear Empire, and they urgently need supplies from the rear. Supplies cut off and lost combat effectiveness.

In order to wipe out the peasant army making trouble in the rear, the rebel nobles immediately mobilized an army of thousands of people, led by a nobleman's son, to put down the rebellion.

As the son of an earl, Zhou Zhao could be said to be a very lucky thing. If nothing else, at least he will be able to eat and drink well in his life.But what troubles him is that he is not his father's eldest son, and at the same time, his cultivation talent is not outstanding. He is in his early twenties and his strength is only at the level of a sixth-level swordsman. He is definitely at the bottom among all his brothers. exist.

It was also for this reason that the other brothers had been assigned various important positions at this time, but he only got one job to escort food and grass in the rear.This errand has to run around all day, not to mention the hard work, and there is basically no chance of meritorious service.

Originally, Zhou Zhao thought that he might be so unlucky to survive this war, but who knew, he suddenly received the news a day ago, saying that the grain requisition team he sent down was killed by a group of farmers , this grain cannot be harvested for the time being.

In order to get rid of this group of peasant rebels, the higher authorities cobbled together a thousand soldiers and asked him to personally lead the army to suppress the rebellion.

Although it was said that he could no longer escort food and grass because of those rebels, Zhou Zhao was quite happy in his heart. After all, this time he finally got the chance to lead the army. It was also a battle involving thousands of people. If he won the battle, he would definitely accumulate some credit, and he would not continue to be looked down upon by other brothers.

While leading the army to set off, Zhou Zhao rode on the horse and read the news sent back by his own spies.

"Hehe! There are only more than 2000 farmers in the area, and they have produced hundreds of big and small leaders. This nickname is quite prestigious. What is the name of the second cloud piercer and the iron-armed Jiang Jie? I don’t know what these guys are really like. How strong is it!"

"My lord! It's just a group of untouchables. Most of them don't even have serious cultivation skills, so how much strength can they have! I think the strength of a third-level swordsman is considered very good!" The soldiers on the side The captain guessed with a smile when he heard the words.

"Don't underestimate the enemy! Since these guys dare to have such a majestic nickname, they must have some real skills. Let the scouts ahead carefully investigate, and report back immediately if they find the enemy!" Although Zhou Zhao said on the surface that the enemy should not be underestimated, But in his heart, he also felt that the battle was stable. Just like what his personal captain said, most of those peasant rebels didn't even practice martial arts. How much strength can this have in itself!At most, it's just that he is stronger than the average person because of years of hard work.

But this is useless in front of the thousand-man army under him. After all, the army under him was originally going to be sent to the front to make up for the losses. The strength is not weak, and the regular army is extremely well equipped.

Among them are 250 heavy halberd soldiers, 250 sword and shield soldiers, 250 heavy crossbowmen, and 250 archers.Among them, the heavily armed halberd soldiers were all wearing plate armor and holding long halberds more than two meters long.The sword and shield soldier was wearing plate-chain composite armor, holding a long sword and iron shield, and was also equipped with five heavy-duty javelins.Those crossbowmen are equipped with iron armor or chain mail. In addition to a heavy crossbow, they also have a short sword for close combat.The last five hundred archers can be said to be the trump card troops of the entire army. All soldiers are above the third-level swordsman, equipped with well-made fish scale armor, holding a nearly two-meter-long bow, equipped with Special armor-piercing arrows, and a melee weapon is a two-handed sword.

Many people may have the impression that the melee ability of archers is very weak, but this is definitely a misunderstanding. After all, if an archer wants to be trained, it is absolutely impossible without a year or a half. Those sharpshooters among them need several years of continuous actual combat to practice.Compared with the kind of crossbowman who can be trained quickly in a week, the difficulty and cost of training for archers are much greater.In addition, if you want to pull those very hard bows, this excellent arm strength is essential, which means that any soldier who can become an archer must have great strength.In this way, how could the melee ability of the archers be weak!Just relying on its strength that is much stronger than ordinary soldiers, it can beat most other types of arms, right?
Leading such a well-trained and well-equipped army, it is no wonder that Zhou Zhao felt that he had the chance to win.

Not long after setting off, the scouts sent by Zhou Zhao reported that an insurgent army was being repaired in a small village ahead, with a number of about [-].

"It is said that the leader of this rebel army is Guan Xiong, the No. 20 and third Flying Tiger General in the Green Forest Army. It is said that the guy is using a big sword. When fighting, the big sword dances as if it has a pair of wings. It is unstoppable. , so I got this nickname!"

After listening to the scout's report, Zhou Zhao felt that this was a good opportunity to weaken the enemy's strength. It is impossible to defeat the enemy's three hundred fights!As for the little villain ranked 23rd, he felt that his strength was mostly boasted, and if he really fought, he might not be his opponent.

With such an orientation in his heart, Zhou Zhao ordered confidently: "The whole army marches quickly, rush to that small village within 10 minutes, surround the enemy army, and don't let any one go!"

But just when Zhou Zhao led the army to the outside of the small village, he found that the enemy had already pulled all the troops out of the village, and they were waiting for their arrival.

"Hmph! Even if these rebels are prepared, they cannot be our opponents. They are ready to attack!" Zhou Zhao gave an order to the messenger beside him after a cold snort.

The messenger immediately rode his horse after hearing the words, ready to convey the order.

However, before the messenger could go far, a rebel leader wearing a well-equipped full-body plate armor, riding an armored horse, and holding a spear suddenly rushed out of the opposite enemy formation. , yelling towards this side: "Listen to the enemy on the opposite side, I am Zhang Tianba, the sky-swapping monkey ranked 78 in the Green Forest Army, is there anyone on the other side who dares to fight me to the death?"

Hearing the provocation of this small enemy leader, Zhou Zhao couldn't help laughing out loud, how weak this leader ranked 78 must be!After all, according to their speculation, there are only less than 500 young and strong rebels who can really fight. Among the 500 people, they are ranked 78th. That strength can really be said to be not much different from ordinary soldiers!
"Stand still, let the general go to take his head, so that these rebels can know what a real master is!" Zhou Zhao shouted at the soldiers around him, and rushed out with his horse.

Zhou Zhao's own martial arts talent is not high, so the weapon he uses is a thick-backed broadsword that is relatively easy to master. At this time, he is holding his own broadsword, and looking at the enemy leader who is still showing off his might, he is already a general. The other party was regarded as a dead person.

After riding his horse to the front of the opponent, Zhou Zhao slashed at the opponent's forehead without hesitation.

Seeing this, Zhang Tianba, the flying monkey, just casually blocked the spear in his hand in front of him, but unexpectedly blocked Zhou Zhao's all-out attack so steadily.

Then he saw the other party lift his spear, and Zhou Zhao felt a terrible force coming from the spear, and the sword in his hand was also thrown away. Then the opponent didn't give him any time to react, and the spear was fired like lightning. Stab out, one shot pierced his expensive knight's plate armor and pierced his chest.

"This...impossible!" Zhou Zhao looked at the spear that pierced his chest, his eyes were full of disbelief.

And the many soldiers in the rear were all stunned facing this scene. After all, they also knew the strength of Zhou Zhao, the chief general. Although he was not too strong compared with other noble children, he also had a sixth-level sword So they didn't stop Zhou Zhao when they saw Zhou Zhao rushing out to fight the little thief one-on-one, thinking that their leader must be easily captured, and they could put the enemy general under his horse in a few rounds.But the reality is that their main general had less than two rounds of fighting with the opponent, and his weapon was picked up by the opponent, and then killed instantly with a single shot.

After killing Zhou Zhao, Zhang Tianba, the jumping monkey, felt a little unsatisfactory, so after shooting the dying Zhou Zhao off his horse, he continued to shout at the opponent's enemy: "You guys! Isn't there a stronger master? This little boy is too weak, and I beat him to death before even warming up, it's not fun!"

"You thief, don't be too rampant, let me kill you!" Zhou Zhao's personal guard captain also reacted at this time, pulled out the two-handed sword behind his back, and charged at Zhang Tianba past.

Seeing the guard captain take action, the other soldiers finally regained some confidence. After all, this guard had the strength of a ninth-level swordsman!Now they can definitely kill the flying monkey on the opposite side and avenge their general!
And Zhang Tianba also felt the strength of this new opponent on the opposite side. Before the opponent rushed in front of him, he grabbed the riding bow hanging on the saddle, drew out an armor-piercing arrow, and shot at the opponent's goal. past.

However, the captain of Zhou Zhao's personal guard was not mediocre. Facing the lightning-like arrow, he accurately smashed the armor-piercing arrow with his big sword.

"There are two tricks!" Zhang Tianba couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this, then quickly put away the riding bow, raised the spear in his hand, and stabbed at the captain of the personal guard who was about to rush in front of him.

The captain of the personal guard had just seen the scene where the opponent stabbed his own general to death with a single shot, so he naturally knew that the opponent's most powerful was marksmanship, so he had already raised 12 points of caution. He raised his sword and stood in front of him.

After a loud metal clash, the captain of the personal guard's forward momentum was stopped abruptly, but he finally managed to block the opponent's shot.

After blocking the opponent's attack, the captain of the personal guard immediately launched a counterattack, raised the big sword in his hand, and stabbed fiercely at the opponent with the tip of the sword.

Seeing that the opponent was able to block his full-strength spear, Zhang Tianba naturally didn't dare to be careless, and immediately put the spear across his chest to block the opponent's sword.

"Haha! Fight! Keep fighting!" On the New Moon Island, the God of Games watched the live battle on the screen in front of him, his eyes were full of excitement.

Not far away, Su Li just finished her wedding with Hai Zijing. There are really many royal wedding etiquettes. Even though she is already a master sword master, after going through those tedious etiquettes, she still feels Feeling a little exhausted.She didn't know how those queens who were mostly just ordinary people in the past endured such complicated etiquette.

After returning to the room, Su Li immediately wanted to lie on the bed and have a good rest, but when he turned his head, he found that the God of Games was watching the live broadcast.

She also knows all the things the other party has been tossing about these days. In her opinion, the other party is simply nonsense. Since Hai Zijing has borrowed soldiers from the Dragon Clan, then wait for Hai Zijing to lead the army to fight directly. It’s fine if it’s not flat!What's the use of all these bells and whistles!
Like a caterpillar, he wriggled his body and crawled to the screen. Su Li looked at the battle scene relayed on the screen, and complained to the god of games: "This is another good thing you did, right? A heads-up mission was released. , otherwise those players would never be so foolish to single out with others, do you think it is interesting for you to do this?"

"Of course it's interesting! It's fun! And I'm the god of games. If I don't play, it's not normal!" Facing Su Li's complaints, the god of games responded with a natural expression. road.
