I was a knight in the Middle Ages
Chapter 36 Qishan City Seeks Help
"Lilya, hide under the big tree and come out when everything is safe." Alpha put Lillia on the ground. Now there was only one kilometer left to go, and Alpha no longer needed Lillia's vision guidance.
"Lina, take your men to the right to block. Don't attack in advance if the situation is unclear. Fatam follow me to the left to intercept and take action after understanding the situation." Alpha was unable to determine the current situation, who was the enemy and who was the friend. Alpha could only maintain neutrality between the two sides.
"Stop!" Just as Alpha shouted the order, the carriage in front was suddenly tripped by something and the entire body of the carriage fell to the ground.
The knights behind rushed towards the carriage without any hesitation, ready to kill the people on the carriage.
"Stop! Stop!" Alpha raised the crossbow in his hand, but instead of shooting at people, he shot the warhorse.
After all, Alpha couldn't determine the situation in front of him, and the other party didn't need to stop attacking just because of his words. If it was his own people, then Alpha would be guilty. Shooting a few horses is not a big problem.
The knight was about to thrust out the spear in his hand, but the horse was suddenly frightened, and he had to hold the reins tightly to control the horse.
"Who are you? Why do you want to kill them?" Alpha shouted at the knights in front of him. The two people in the carriage seemed to have been thrown badly, and they were still in a daze.
"We are the Qishan City Guards. They are wandering around Qishan City. We suspect they are bandits and spies and must be executed." The knight wanted to kill the two people in the carriage, but he was stared at by the knights around him. If he continued to take action, he would probably be attacked directly.
"We can only know whether he is a spy after questioning. How can you kill innocent people without confirmation?" Alpha shouted loudly. The other party was ignorant and indiscriminate in killing innocent people, which made Alpha very disgusted.
"This is a matter of our Qishan Guard. There is no need for outsiders to interfere." The knight raised his head high and roared arrogantly.
"They are not members of the Qishan Guard, they are bandits in disguise. Qishan City has been captured by bandits, please send support immediately." The wounded in the carriage finally regained consciousness.
The knight unexpectedly launched a sneak attack and stabbed with his sword, but was intercepted by Alpha's spear.
"What evidence do you have?" Alpha believed the two people in front of him more.
"I am Famas, the guard officer of Qishan City, and this is my seal." Famas took out the seal from his arms.
"The seal is not enough to prove your identity. In times of chaos and chaos, these can be forged or stolen."
"Sir, although they were wearing the armor of the Qishan City Guard, they only had a layer of outer coat and did not have time to change into the inner suit. What they were wearing was not the standard equipment of our guard." Another wounded man also woke up.
"Annihilate these robbers pretending to be us!" the knight roared, preparing to kill the two people in the carriage again.
While Alpha and his companions were investigating FAMAS's identity, a robber went around to the left of Alpha and his companions, raised his gun and prepared to shoot Alpha who was checking FAMAS's seal.
"Be careful, there are robbers attacking us from the left!" Famas was originally going to hint to Alpha and the others to catch the robbers, but when he looked up and saw the robbers attacking Alpha, he started yelling.
Alpha reacted as soon as Famas roared, but Fattam next to him was faster and cut off the arm of the attacker with one sword.
"Destroy them!" Alpha didn't care too much at this moment and gave the order directly.
"Kill everyone!" The other party was not willing to be outdone. At this time, all explanations were no longer important. The only key was to survive.
However, these robbers underestimated the strength of Alpha and his men. Alpha killed the two people who surrounded him with a single blow. Only the knight leader could barely fight with Alpha.
After two months of training, Alpha was able to exert the strength of this body, at least to the level of an intermediate knight, so it was no problem for him to fight against such bandits alone.
"You won't be killed if you surrender." Alpha shouted loudly while fighting fiercely with the bandit leader.
Hearing this shout, the morale of the remaining six bandit knights was obviously weakened. After all, the other side had more people and their individual strength was not weaker than their own. However, due to the existence of the bandit leader, they did not dare to act rashly.
"Don't listen to their nonsense, they won't let us go." The little leader roared. However, under the siege of nearly twenty knights, the seven knights would eventually die. It was only a matter of time.
"Lord Alpha, we are here." Bach led the first team and surrounded them quickly.
In the chaos, Alpha pierced the chest of the small leader with a sword. The fall of the small leader became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the last five bandit knights.
"Put down your weapons and wait for your punishment." Alpha's tone was tougher than before, and he didn't even say a word to save his life.
"I surrender, I surrender." The bandits united together and no longer actively resisted.
"Put down your weapons, dismount and come over." Alpha didn't want to increase casualties, so he immediately set up the crossbow, aimed and prepared to shoot.
"I surrender, don't kill me." A bandit threw down his weapon and surrendered. With someone taking the lead, the remaining bandits did not want to die in vain, so they dismounted and surrendered.
"Disarm them and wait for your punishment." Alpha now wanted to hear the message brought by the two soldiers who asked for help.
"What happened in Qishan City?"
……
"That is to say, the bandits have already entered Qishan City, and Qishan City may have fallen." After receiving the information provided by FAMAS, Alpha's heart sank. There was an 80% chance that Qishan City had been captured.
"Please send troops to rescue Qishan City immediately. The people in the city need your support." Famas seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
"Lina, you lead five knights to immediately send a message to Captain Will to request support." Alpha knew that they had to race against time.
"Yes." Lina then rode on her warhorse and galloped away.
"Rowling, take a knight and go back immediately to order Freese to mobilize two teams of troops to support Qishan City." Alpha did not dare to mobilize too many troops. After all, the net-pulling operation could not afford to make mistakes.
After some deployment of troops, Alpha could only lead less than fifty regular knights to rescue Qishan City.
There were only fifty regular knights and fifty half-baked novice knights left in Freesia. If the bandits launched an all-out attack, it would be difficult for Freesia to hold its line of defense.
"Lord Alpha, you only have more than forty knights. Isn't that too few to rescue Qishan City?" Rowling looked at Alpha with some concern.
"It's okay. The key is Will's support. Our defense line cannot be wrong. Tell Freese to hold the defense line and it will be a great achievement. Now the bandits are attacking Qishan City. There are insufficient bandits within the defense range. Don't act rashly. It won't be a problem to hold on." Alpha explained.
"Yes." Rowling took the order.
"Lilia, lead three knights to guard the prisoners and bring them back to the barracks immediately. If they make any unusual movements, they will be killed without mercy." Alpha issued orders in an orderly manner.
"Where are you two?" Alpha looked at the two injured men and was afraid that they would not be able to provide much help to Qishan City.
"I am familiar with the surrounding terrain. I will go back to Qishan City with you." Famas was familiar with the terrain of Qishan City, so he went to the destination with Alpha and his party. Although Famas was only a guard officer, he performed very well as a soldier. Unfortunately, his boss was a cowardly lord.
"Which branch of the bandits are you from? What's the name of the leader just now?" However, Alpha's question did not receive a response. Without saying a word, Alpha killed one of the captured bandits with a sword.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't kill us?" another prisoner shouted in horror.
"I said surrender and wait for your punishment. You didn't seize the opportunity. This is not the answer I want." Before he finished speaking, Alpha raised his sword and killed another bandit captive.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you." The prisoner finally couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't want to die, so he hurriedly answered Alpha's question.
"Okay, it's you. Come with me to Qishan City." Alpha grabbed the prisoner and threw him on the warhorse.
"Lilia, take them both back, and kill them if they don't obey." In fact, Alpha did this more to reduce the pressure on Lilia. After all, killing without reason is something Alpha can't do.
"Let's go." Bach's first squad of knights had already caught up and joined forces, and Alpha only had 20 people. Facing the crisis of Qishan City, they might not be able to have much effect.
But nothing matters now. There will always be a way out when you reach the mountain. Alpha and his team continue to move forward, hoping to support Qishan City as soon as possible.
……
"Sir Alpha, can we really solve the bandits in Qishan City? There are hundreds of them. Do we really not need to transfer all of them here?" Famas was filled with worries. How could Alpha solve the crisis in Qishan City with only twenty people?
"Our mission is more important, and no mistakes can be made." Alpha did not explain too much because this bandit operation was so important.
"We can only pray that Captain Will can provide support as soon as possible." Captain Will's defense line is of little use. Only they can send more knights to rescue Qishan City, but Alpha must buy more time.
"Which branch of the bandits are you from? What's the name of your leader?" Alpha and others knew that fighting head-on was not the best option, and they had to use their wits to win.
"Sir, we are from the Truss Thieves Gang. Our leader is Bakuzan, the leader who led us out is Sherman, and my name is Baru." Baru completely put aside all his dignity and thoughts and told all the information he knew. After all, Alpha's methods were too cruel.
"Okay, then I am Captain Sherman now." Alpha seemed to have some plans in mind.
"Sir Alpha, look ahead." FAMAS pointed to the distance and saw a transport team moving forward.
"They are Bahom's bandit gang. We attack Qishan City for supplies and plan to garrison Qishan Village. There are not many supplies over there, and they are not enough for us to sustain for a long time." Baru's explanation finally made Alpha and others understand why the bandits took such a big risk to attack Qishan City.
"What should we do now? Eat them?" Bach's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
However, the other side had a large number of people, and the team escorting supplies stretched for several miles. Most of those escorting the supplies were from the people of Qishan City, so the twenty people alone could not be effective at all.
"Bach, you are responsible for attacking the front end of the supplies, try to destroy the supplies, and kill the bandits. The marching route is S-shaped, and you should charge in every 500 meters and burn the supplies. There is no need to fight. I will lead people to intercept from the back from the interruption, leave the front line in an hour, and rush to Qishan City." Alpha's target is still Qishan City.
"No matter how the bandits escape, our main target is the supplies, and we must not let them fall into the hands of Qishan Village." Alpha emphasized again.
"Lord Alpha, those people transporting supplies are all citizens of Qishan City. Please save them!" Famas looked at the unarmed people who were about to suffer a disaster and pleaded with Alpha anxiously.
"It's not that I'm heartless, I just really am powerless. There are only twenty of us, even if we risk our lives, how many people can we save?" Alpha said helplessly.
Before he finished speaking, Bach's troops rushed out.
"Fatham, follow me and shoot the horses with crossbows!" Alpha knew that only by seriously hindering the speed of the bandits' transportation could he buy more time for his side. Therefore, assassinating once every 500 meters could not only effectively kill the bandits, but also give full play to the speed advantage of the cavalry.
Seeing the tragic deaths of innocent people and the destruction of precious supplies, FAMAS was in great pain.
In the eyes of Famas, Alpha's decision was undoubtedly cruel. He watched Alpha lead 20 cavalrymen to rush towards the people of Qishan City who were transporting supplies, and shot their horses without hesitation, making it impossible for them to move forward.
Famas saw the people fleeing the scene in terror, crying helplessly, and running around aimlessly in order to survive.
Alpha watched all this indifferently, as if his mission was to destroy and ruin. FAMAS felt pain and conflict in his heart, he wanted to stop Alpha's actions, but he did not have enough ability and courage.
The only thing Famas could do was to pray silently, praying that he and the people around him could survive this crisis safely.
……
"It's really not satisfying, Lord Alpha! Can you let me stay and chase you for another hour?" Bach's body was covered in blood and his face was full of reluctance, obviously he had not fought enough.
"It's too late. The bandit group must have received the news, and the cavalry will be dispatched soon. We must take the opportunity to attack Qishan City." Alpha's other purpose is to lure the bandits out of the city, and then take the opportunity to sneak in, so as to reverse the situation and protect Qishan City.
"Let's go to Qishan City now." Looking at the sea of fire that stretched for miles, in fact only one-tenth or one-twelfth of the supplies were burned, but it would be extremely difficult to resume transportation.
……
"Put down your weapons and give up resistance! Lord Bakuzan said that they only want supplies and they will not kill you if you put down your weapons." The fat prince Gurukifu stood on the carriage and loudly persuaded the guards who were still resisting.
"But they are slaughtering our people!" A non-commissioned officer looked at the bandits' atrocities and wanted to rush forward immediately.
"As long as we don't resist, they won't attack us." Gurujiv was completely lying. Several bandits were holding a young girl and trying to rape her.
"I now order you to lay down your weapons, otherwise I will report you as bandits and spies, and your crime is unforgivable." Gurukiev threatened loudly. After all, Bakuzan said that as long as he could persuade his subordinates to give up resistance, he could keep his position as the leader of the state.
Just as the soldiers were about to lay down their weapons, another group of soldiers attacked from the right.
"My Lord, I have organized a large army to attack us." Unexpectedly, the soldiers that Gurujiv had arranged before actually organized a team of hundreds of people to attack us. Together with the forty or fifty people in front of them, the number of officers and soldiers was no less than that of the bandits in the city. With an all-out attack, the outcome was unpredictable.
"Put down your weapons and surrender immediately!" Gurukiev glared angrily at a soldier whose name he didn't even know. "Bakuzan promised us that he wouldn't massacre the civilians."
The soldier opened his mouth, looking confused.
"Help!" But the screams of the people around them made the soldiers feel ashamed.
"Sir, our supply team was attacked, requesting support!"
