I was a knight in the Middle Ages
Chapter 42: The Fall of the Bandit Camp
"Lord City Lord, Captain Tony on the front line has requested support for seventy knights. What should we do?" Alice's messenger, Di Xiu, who was away from home, reported the information he had just received to Houston.
"Report the details to me." The mayor of Houston did not express his thoughts easily.
"The specific situation is as follows..." Di Xiu described the situation in detail. It can be seen that Grand Duke Houston also has his own intelligence system.
"The lack of soldiers and generals is also a kind of training. People have to go through some crises to grow. Are there any super masters on the scene?" The mayor of Houston is most concerned about this issue.
A super-level master refers to a master who can use the externalized fighting spirit. His strength is at least that of a bronze knight, and ordinary people cannot deal with him at all.
"No. The strongest senior knight Bakuzan has been seriously injured. His strength is now equivalent to that of a junior knight. The others are nothing to worry about." Dishu's strength is not just as simple as that of a sharpshooter. He is also responsible for supervising the senior knights around him.
"Since there are no super-level masters on the scene, let the hidden people not participate in any actions." The Grand Duke was worried about his children, but only about those tasks that could not be completed.
"Grand Duke, how do we deal with the knights they requested for additional reinforcements?" Dishu reminded again.
"Before, we could only support ten knights at most each time. It is the same now. We can only support ten people per day at most." The Grand Duke obviously did not want to give the other party whatever they asked for.
"Wait, after this support is over, the upper limit of support per day will be changed to five people. Tell them that there is no external support in the real battlefield, and they need to find a way on their own. After a month, we will completely cut off their knight reinforcements and let them be self-reliant." In this regard, Grand Duke Houston appreciated Alpha's behavior. As long as there is enough preparation time and sufficient supplies, there is no solution to the battle with an increasing number of people.
"How's the background investigation of that kid going?" Archduke Houston didn't think that the Pope would not investigate anyone he liked.
"Alpha Michel, 22 years old, nominally a junior one-ring knight, but actually a mid-level two-ring knight, with strength comparable to that of a senior knight.
His parents were both Triple-Discipline Paladins of the Holy See. Both died in a special operation. Afterwards, Alpha was raised by Mars, the leader of the Triple-Discipline Paladins.
A month ago, the Paladins of Discipline were ambushed by the Dark Knight Captain and were completely wiped out. Mars saved Alpha and Mingen at the cost of his own life, and passed the power of Discipline to the two.
Afterwards, the Pope secretly summoned Alpha. The details are unknown, but it is inferred that Alpha was given the Light Tribute and Advanced Fighting Skills. "Dixius put all of Alpha's information on Houston's desk, and there was a lot of information that even Alpha himself didn't know.
"Two-ring Knight? What ability?" Grand Duke Houston narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about something. The person the Pope has chosen may not be that simple.
"According to the inference, the ability of the first ring should be extreme burst, and the ability of the second ring should be weapon strengthening." Di Xiu explained.
The power of each Discipline Knight's Discipline is a secret and will not be disclosed to the public, but senior intelligence personnel can infer it through each battle.
"What mission did Alpha's parents carry out?"
"This has not been found out yet." After all, it happened more than 20 years ago. The only person involved in the incident now is Ming En who ran away, and the rest are the loyal and stubborn people in the Vatican, so it is difficult to find out.
"Okay, let's continue to track his information." Houston closed his eyes and began to think, and Dexiu left the room silently.
……
"Sister, our reinforcements have arrived, a total of ten people. They sent a message saying that the reinforcements will become less and less every day until there is none left, and we have to deal with it ourselves." Tony was very angry, but helpless, after all, this was the decision of the Grand Duke.
"It's good that they're here. Although the support will gradually decrease, it's a good start. We can't always rely on others. Now we have to rely on ourselves." Alice was relieved when she heard the good news brought by Tony. She knew that it would be impossible for the rear to replenish troops all the time. Everything now is just the beginning. Of course, everything is based on their strong troops.
"With the restored cavalry, we now have more than a hundred knights. We can implement the fumigation plan. We must make a quick decision." Alice had someone repair a passage leading to the inner city wall. Although the enemy on the city wall continued to destroy it, the passage was still usable. In Alice's eyes, infantry was just consumables, so she didn't take more than a hundred infantrymen seriously.
Alice knew that the enemy's advantage was that they had an absolute advantage in terrain and better physical strength, but their disadvantages were also very obvious. Without supplies, their strength would be weakened by every person they lost, and they also lacked a stable source of food and water. Based on this, the fumigation plan was the best option.
"Okay, I'll start executing the plan tonight. By the way, Brother-in-law Alpha has already led the people to evacuate." Tony saw that Alpha had left the camp below at night. Now there were only the supporting knights and the recovering wounded in the camp below, about fifty people.
Tony knew that Alpha's evacuation meant they might face more intense battles, and that they could only rely on themselves.
"I understand. I will arrange everything and go to the rear to guard it." Alice knew that her mission was very important. She needed to stabilize the rear and create a stable rear for the army.
"Remember, our goal is to disintegrate the enemy, not to fight them head-on." Alice knew the weight of this sentence. She had witnessed too many examples of the entire army being wiped out due to impulse on the battlefield. She didn't want her team to end up like that, so she needed them to face the enemy rationally and find ways to weaken the enemy.
Although Alice has resolved her misunderstanding of Alpha, she still doesn't want to meet Alpha. After all, she has wronged Alpha many times, and it would be awkward to meet him now.
"Okay, leave me thirty knights and one hundred infantrymen." Thirty knights guarded the outer city wall, and the remaining infantry were enough to complete the task.
"Okay." The outer city is too small to accommodate all the knights, and it would be a waste to leave them there.
"Stingy guy." Alice returned to the camp at the foot of the mountain and looked at the delicious food in the kitchen. She felt that Alpha was too stingy. Couldn't he admit his mistake to her? After all, she was a woman.
……
Alpha had been enjoying himself these past few days. Apart from spending time with Lina Fattam, he was training soldiers, inspecting camps, and coordinating various teams to fight together.
After careful nursing, most of Alice's cavalrymen have recovered and returned to the team, leaving only a few cavalrymen with hidden diseases. Alpha did not care about this and took them all in, arranging them to serve as sentinels, led by the monkey Quinn.
Many of Alice's infantry were willing to stay. After screening, more than thirty elite infantrymen were left. Together with the prisoners, they formed a team of fifty people, led by Lilia and Alpha personally.
They mainly trained in bows and arrows and long spears. Although crossbows were faster, they were less powerful than bows and arrows. In addition, crossbows were expensive and equipment was limited. The use of long spears enabled infantry to protect themselves when fighting cavalry.
At dawn on the third day after Alpha left, the battle officially began. By this time, Alice's cavalry had reached more than 130 people and had basically recovered their combat effectiveness.
Alice sent out 100 knights and 200 infantrymen for this operation. In order to break through the city gate and occupy the city wall, Tony arranged 50 knights and 50 infantrymen to work together to avoid being blocked outside the city gate by the enemy and being defeated by the enemy again.
"Lord Bakuzan, they are so abominable. They neither fight us head-on nor let us leave the city. They also pollute the surrounding water sources. We have no water available now." Although there are sufficient food reserves, without water, everyone cannot hold out for long.
Moreover, three consecutive days of smoke and fire made the bandits listless and listless, and completely unable to fight.
"Don't worry, they want to trap us and then take us down without any effort. In this case, we should do the opposite. Let the brothers eat and drink tonight and have a good rest. At dawn tomorrow, we will all go out and kill them by surprise! Then, we will go to Qishan City to plunder once more, and then turn west and continue to kill people all the way!" Bakuzan knew that it was impossible to defend the city now. Only by giving it a try could they fight their way out!
"Great plan! There's no way they'll know we'll break out, and Qishan City will only think we're trapped on the mountain, where they'll be defenseless. We can definitely create another glory!" The bandits cheered in unison and unanimously agreed to the decision!
However, the harassment at night seemed to be more rampant than before, making it impossible for the bandits to get a good rest.
"Everyone get ready. Once the gate is opened, charge in immediately!" For this mission, Tony specially transferred the heavy cavalry to the mountain and prepared them for battle!
The two sides were separated by an iron gate and could not see each other.
"Action!" The knights took the lead in launching the attack. After all, they had to climb up the city wall. There were no soldiers stationed on the city wall except for a few bandit sentinels, and the sentinels were also frightened and had no intention of observing the situation below.
"Enemy..." Several sentries on the city wall were killed by soldiers who climbed up the wall before they could sound the alarm.
Looking at the bandits gathering outside the city, the knight had no time to sound the alarm before the city gate was opened.
"Kill!" The heavy cavalry outside the city thought that it was the friendly troops who entered the city and opened the city gate, so they rushed forward.
When the bandits opened the city gate, they did not expect that what was waiting for them were gleaming spears and bows and arrows. Although he did not know what happened, Bakuzan understood that no matter what happened, he had to fight hard and get out to have a chance of survival, otherwise he would die.
The officers and soldiers on the city wall also began to attack downwards. For a moment, arrows and stones poured down like a rainstorm.
"Let the heavy cavalry in." Bakuzan quickly realized that if they wanted to escape, they could only open the road to the city gate and let the heavy cavalry in. However, such a retreat would only make the bandits think they had failed and have no intention of resisting.
Now the city wall is in the hands of the officers and soldiers. From a high vantage point, every move of the bandits is within their sight, and there is no secret at all.
"The heavily armored knights charge in and scatter, and the spearmen take over." Tony would not miss this opportunity, even if there were not many bandits who escaped. As the heavily armored knights charged in, the bandits began to collapse, and they fled in all directions like frightened birds.
"Follow me and fight your way out." Bakuzan led the way and escaped through the gaps between the heavy cavalry with all the bandit knights. Although there were heavy casualties, more than 30 people still escaped with him.
"Stop them." Tony was the last line of defense. The two sides had about the same number of people, but Tony's knights were well-rested, while the bandit knights were fighting with their backs against the wall and had no way to retreat. In a flash of the battle, Tony's knights were knocked away and could not stop the desperate bandit knights at all.
"Kill." Although Tony's order was executed, more than twenty people still rushed out in the end.
At this time, the alarm sounded, but Tony did not order a pursuit. Instead, he asked Captain Alice to deal with these bandit cavalrymen.
Now, the bandits' stronghold has been captured, and the remaining remnants are of no concern at all. All that remains is to clean up the battlefield and sort out the mess.
Kill." The bandit knight had just escaped from the siege, but was met with another siege.
This time, there were more knights, their spears were like a forest, and their momentum was like a rainbow. Alice's cavalry had been waiting for a long time.
"kill."
"Kill." The bandit knights had no choice. The camp behind them had already fallen, so they could only fight to break out. They were like a torrent that recklessly crashed into the dam in front of them, splashing huge waves.
With a loud bang, the flames engulfed everything in front of them, like a flood control embankment instantly covered by flames. Unexpectedly, Bakuzan ignored the lives of his men and ordered the bandit knights in front to take the kerosene and die with the enemy.
"Kill them!" Facing the raging flames, Bakuzan showed no fear and rushed out directly.
In the end, Bakuzan led more than ten riders to break out of the encirclement.
The remaining knights were unable to catch up with the escaping Bakuzan and could only watch him disappear from their sight.
"Hahaha, you can't catch up with me. I will make you regret it." Bakuzan tore a piece of beef with his teeth and stuffed it into his mouth. He was wearing a set of wild boar leather armor and a short sword on his waist. Although the armor was tattered, he had a huge lance on his back. He was an adventurer and a warlike warrior. He always shuttled in the army and got the opportunity to make merit.
"The world has changed." Bakuzan showed a bitter expression. A few years ago, he was a respected knight, but now he has become a fierce bandit. His goal is to rob property from caravans and make a living. He has forgotten the honor of a knight, and now he only cares about survival and money.
"Qishan City is ahead, everyone get ready."
