I was a knight in the Middle Ages
Chapter 112: Divide and Drive Away
"Let him come over." Even if he was trapped in a sea of fire and swords, the monkey could still move in and out freely and easily, which Alpha felt inferior to.
"Lord Alpha, that mound of earth is the enemy's mine, and there are a large number of workers mining inside. In addition, the enemy's camp is also located there." The monkey had already scouted the situation in that area.
"Monkey, go contact Rowling and lead the team to attack the enemy camp. If the number of enemies coming back for reinforcement is small, you should maneuver to eliminate them. If the number of enemies is large, you must delay them and prevent them from coming back for reinforcement easily. If the enemy does not respond, you should do your best to occupy the camp. As for the specific actions, let Rowling play freely." Alpha gave the order decisively.
"Lord Alpha, in this case, you only have 400 cavalrymen left?" The monkey was very worried.
"Don't worry about our army. I don't take them seriously as mere bandits." Alpha pretended to be relaxed, as if he really didn't take the enemy seriously.
……
"Lord Papua, a cavalry regiment of the enemy has left the battlefield and seems to be heading towards our rear camp." Suddenly a knight rode over.
"It doesn't matter. Order the entire army to continue the attack." Papua did not show too much hesitation and decisively gave up the camp and mine in the rear.
"Boss, the leader orders us to defend the tantalum mine. If we give up now, the leader will not let us off easily." The adjutant had been following Papua and reminded him in a low voice when he saw this.
Originally, Papua was a general with a promising future. But after two consecutive defeats in the last two battles, the army suffered heavy losses, and Papua, as the commander, was forced to relocate and station in this remote place.
"The structure of the titanium quartz mine is loose and landslides occur frequently. Even if it is occupied by the enemy, we can just dig it out again and the loss will not be great." There are only a hundred old and weak soldiers in the rear camp, and it is obvious that Papua is going to abandon the camp completely.
"But we captured those 500 miners with great difficulty. If they are killed by the enemy, we will not be able to report to the leader! Boss." Nowadays, the population of the grassland is declining, and mining requires a large number of young and middle-aged laborers. These miners are their most important wealth.
"This..." Papua was a little embarrassed after hearing the adjutant's reminder.
"Continue the attack for half an hour. If we still cannot take this place, immediately order the 5th, 7th and 9th Cavalry Regiments in the rear to support the rear camp." Papua chose the second best option and a compromise plan.
"kill!"
Following Papua's order, the grassland bandit coalition launched a more fierce attack again. The grassland bandit cavalry attacked in full force, trying to defeat the enemy with a quick charge, while the Alpha mercenary group formed a tight defensive formation, wielding spears, drawing bows and arrows, and bravely resisting.
"Lord Alpha, the right side of our unit has been breached and cannot be filled." Phyllis sent an urgent military intelligence message.
"Is it Fattam's heavy cavalry?" Alpha's face was calm, not at all panicked.
"Let Fattam lead part of the troops to fight out, and the rest of the personnel will form a new defense circle." At this moment, only a bloody battle can reverse the situation.
"It's you! I'm going to kill you!" When enemies meet, their eyes are filled with jealousy. When Papua saw the man who caused him to lose his troops, all his rationality disappeared in an instant. Only killing could make him feel at ease.
"Guen, lead fifty black-armored dragon riders, and the Fattam heavy cavalry on the left and right, to split the enemy! Phyllis let Makina's troops find the right time. If the enemy is split, then eat up the enemy's rear; if they cannot be split, then help the heavy cavalry leave the battle circle and look for opportunities to charge in again." Alpha ignored Papua's roar and continued to issue combat orders.
"Lord Alpha, it's too dangerous for you. I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you later!" Darwin is now the captain of Alpha's personal guards. He is only responsible for protecting Alpha's personal safety and does not participate in fighting.
"Are you scared?" Alpha was using himself as bait to induce Papua to make a mistake.
"I'm afraid you'll die on the battlefield." Although Darwin's strength increased greatly after his transformation, a few bandits posed no threat to him at all, but it was hard to say with Alpha.
At this critical moment, Captain Fattam stepped forward, holding a heavy rifle and shouting in a high-pitched voice: "Soldiers, follow me and charge!" Then, Fattam led her cavalry team to launch a counterattack against the grassland bandit cavalry.
Under the leadership of Captain Fattam, the morale of the Mercenary Knights was high. They roared, waved their weapons, and rushed towards the grassland cavalry.
In the fierce fighting, the grassland cavalry was separated by the heavy cavalry of Fattam and Gunn. Makina seized the opportunity and led the Wind Knights to charge in.
"Charge, kill them for me." Papua's eyes were red, and he didn't care about the situation behind him at all. The only thing in his eyes was Alpha.
"Smoke bomb attack." Although the gunpowder technology failed, Alpha used gunpowder to develop incendiary bombs and smoke bombs. In an instant, countless fireballs burning with black smoke were shot into the enemy group.
The temperature of the incendiary bombs was extremely high, and the crowded knights had no way to escape. They were instantly melted by the high temperature and died tragically. At the same time, the area was shrouded in thick smoke, making it impossible to tell what was happening inside and outside.
"Papua failed, Papua was captured alive, Papua escaped." In an instant, rumors about Papua were everywhere on the battlefield. However, Papua, who was so angry that he wanted to kill, did not pay any attention to the situation in the rear.
"Run away, Papua was killed in the battle." As the monkey's rumor took effect, the three or four hundred cavalrymen in the rear fled in all directions regardless of everything.
The monkey's figure appeared in Makino's sight, and Makino couldn't help but sigh: "Monkey, you have done a great deed!"
This was not the time to relax their vigilance. Monkey also knew the importance of the rescue mission, so the two led the rescue team to rush back to the main position of the central army to carry out the rescue mission. On the way, they also met with Fatam and Gun's heavy cavalry.
"We have to get to the core area as quickly as possible," Makino said, "but the enemy's firepower is strong and their numbers are equal, so we have to come up with a plan."
Although the enemy was successfully divided and dispersed, there were still nearly three or four hundred cavalrymen besieging the headquarters, which was not a small number. What was more difficult was that they were densely gathered together and it was difficult to drive them away immediately.
The monkey nodded. He was thinking of various strategies in his mind, but found that there was no good way. Suddenly, the monkey had a flash of inspiration and came up with a plan.
"We can learn from Lord Alpha's method and divide and drive away the enemy." Monkey said to Makina, "I will lead the team to break in from the flank, and then use the advantage of heavy armor to gradually approach the core area."
Makina agreed to Monkey's plan, and they began to quickly arrange the tasks. "Fattam, Gunn, your two battalions have the strongest attack capabilities. You will be responsible for attacking from the front and dispersing the enemy's two wings to create conditions for our team to break in. The rest of the personnel will follow us and attack from the rear of the enemy. Make sure to annihilate the enemy completely."
"Yes, attack with all your strength." Makina's order was unanimously agreed upon by everyone, and in an instant a large group of troops rushed into the enemy group from the rear.
Monkey and Makina led the team to successfully break in from the flank and advance to the core area. They took advantage of the terrain and equipment to continuously eliminate the enemy's manpower and pursue the victory.
"Sir, you'd better break out! We can't hold here anymore." Darwin was extremely anxious in this situation. The enemies were coming in all directions with fierce momentum and smoke and dust billowing, making it difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.
"Then accompany me to fight." Alpha did not retreat. Instead, he chose to face the challenge and charged into the battlefield from the front.
"You're crazy, this is too dangerous!" Darwin couldn't understand, but he always stayed by Alpha's side.
"Phyllis, you take the two guards and charge out from the back, don't worry about me." Alpha knew that no matter which direction they broke through, they would become the enemy's target. In this case, it would be better to leave the easiest direction for others to break through.
"No, I want to live and die with you, sir." Fili refused without hesitation, and followed Alpha with two bodyguards, fighting bravely.
"Take my knife!" A familiar voice suddenly dropped from the sky.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, you big stupid bear." Alpha laughed and then took a stance with his sword in hand, looking very domineering.
With a loud bang, the shock wave actually cleared out an area around it, with incredible power.
……
"Report to the captain! We have successfully occupied the mine and controlled all the miners. What should we do next?" Doro and Lislia are now the captain's right-hand men. They quickly captured the enemy's camp and asked Rowling for the next combat order.
"Lislia, bring all the captives here. Doro, bring all the miners to the square." Rowling gave the order. She was not going to kill innocent people indiscriminately, but she was going to stage a "black-hearted" drama in a moment.
"All of you are my prisoners. The enemy is coming back for reinforcements. There is only one way for you to go. Let's face the bandit cavalry together!" If it were Alpha, he would give these miners two choices: either to run away immediately or to fight back bravely. But Rowling only left the miners the choice of fighting back.
"Bring up all the captured bandits." Rowling was decisive and would not give the miners any chance to regret.
"Pick up your weapons and stab the enemy, and you will be our partners." Rowling did not give the miners a chance to regret. "If you don't take up your weapons, I will regard you as a spy of the bandits, equivalent to a captive of the bandits."
Seeing Rowling's ruthlessness, many miners who were unwilling to take up arms had no choice but to follow the crowd and take up arms to resist. The miners' blood was ignited, especially when Rowling let ten bandit captives go in public, the miners had to fight bravely for survival.
"Now dig trenches and build earth walls." Rowling successfully shocked everyone.
Seeing this, a miner stood up and said, "Captain, can we make a request?"
"any request?"
"Can we have enough to eat? The robbers are afraid that we will resist, so they force us to work. They only give us 50% of our food every day. We simply don't have much strength." The miner, with his upper body exposed, leaned against the wall. He didn't have much muscle on his body and said a little embarrassedly.
"Okay, you bring ten people with me to the warehouse to get supplies. Food will be provided, and there will be enough weapons and equipment." Although Rowling didn't know where the warehouse was or what was inside, she could only give it a try for now.
"What's your name?" Rowling needed an obedient person as a leader.
"My name is Bettas, sir." The man said shyly.
"Okay, now you are the centurion. Select a hundred men for me and get them to arm themselves." Regardless of whether the man has the ability or not, Rowling needs to let everyone see that there will be benefits as long as they are obedient.
"Thank you, sir."
……
"Lord Russ, what should we do now? Should we fight back to welcome Lord Papua, or return to the headquarters?" The fleeing remnants gathered together again, with a total of 300 people. At this moment, they had thrown away their armor and were covered in dust, and their former momentum had long gone.
"If you return to the headquarters, you will surely die." Russ was Papua's deputy. Now Papua is missing and the titanite mine has been robbed. If he does not make some achievements, ordinary knights may be able to escape punishment, but a manager like Rus will inevitably die.
"Let's go to the mining area. There is only one enemy battalion there. We should be able to recapture the mining area with our men. In this way, no matter whether Lord Papua is in trouble or not, we can atone for our sins." Rus thought quickly and made a decision quickly.
……
"You're just a clown, nothing more than that." Alpha fought off Papua, who had transformed into a bear man, with a single sword. His tone was calm, without a trace of panic or fatigue, which surprised Papua very much.
"Asshole, I won't be fooled again, I'm going to kill you." Papua knocked the knight in front of him away with a knife, but he always kept a certain distance from Alpha. The huge force just now made Papua feel frightened, and he didn't dare to try again.
"You can try." Alpha looked unconcerned but he was extremely nervous inside. The attack just now was just an outburst of his accumulated power of silence.
"You stinky bear, take my stick!" At this moment, Mousse Niu rushed over waving a mace.
"You are a piece of trash, I will chop you to pieces."
"You are a waste, I am going to chop you up." For Papua, Alpha, Mousse and the armored woman were the three people he hated the most. Now, seeing Mousse, how could he remain indifferent? He was determined to fight to the death with the other party to vent his hatred.
The two men gathered their strength and attacked each other with all their might.
"Kill." The roars of the two men actually suppressed the noise of the battlefield. For a moment, everyone was attracted by them.
In the era of cold weapons, the victory or defeat of the main general on the battlefield was often decisive, and sometimes even affected the outcome of the entire battle. Especially for a robber knight like this, his decisive role was even stronger.
The sword and the mace collided fiercely, making a loud noise. The strong shock wave forced the air to distort and deform, and the earth trembled. Following closely was a loud noise that tore the eardrums, and the knight who was close was actually stunned.
With this attack, Tie Niu was pushed back three steps, while Papua retreated one step. Although Papua was stronger in terms of strength, he was already scared. These people were improving too fast. At the beginning, when the three heroes fought against Lu Bu, Papua could handle it easily. In the last battle, Papua was able to gain the upper hand when fighting one against two. Now, Tie Niu alone can stop him, and that Alpha is even as strong as him in terms of explosive power.
Now, Papua's only way to save his life is to go berserk, but berserk has a time limit. Once used, he will not be able to protect himself in this chaotic crowd. Moreover, if the enemy mixes into the battlefield, he will die when he is exhausted.
Papua began to think about how to break out, but when he saw his men scattered around him, he couldn't help but tremble with fear. The team that originally had thousands of people was now less than a hundred people, and he was already surrounded by the enemy.
"Everyone gather, prepare to charge and defeat the enemy!"
