I was a knight in the Middle Ages
Chapter 58 The first confrontation
The fire in the village burned fiercely for a full six hours before people used sand to extinguish the flames, but there was still thick smoke, and it was obvious that the fire inside was still fierce.
"Everyone get out!" The leader had already learned what had happened here and that someone had sneaked in, and was preparing to turn the warehouse upside down.
"Bit, record everyone's identity, and arrest those without an identity."
"Yes, chief." Bit picked up the notebook and began to record everyone's identity information. They would only be released after confirmation.
However, an hour later, everyone had been taken back by their respective leaders and there were no extra personnel.
"Do you smell anything?" Suddenly, a strong and pungent smell came over.
"Oh no! That guy is still in the warehouse. Catch him quickly!" The group of people split into two groups. One group rushed inside, fearing that the fire would get bigger if they were too late. The other group ran to capture the hateful spy.
"Who are you? Stop right there." Bit was lucky. He found a suspicious target as soon as he came in.
"You want to catch me? It's impossible." The monkey has burned three warehouses and poisoned two reservoirs. It can be said to be a big harvest!
A group of people played a game of cat and mouse in a narrow passage, but the mouse was too cunning, making it impossible to figure out and catch it.
In the narrow passage, the monkey and Bit and others staged a thrilling competition. With his agility and superb skills, the monkey repeatedly escaped the pursuit and interception of Bit and others. However, as time went by, the monkey gradually felt exhausted, while Bit and other pursuers were getting closer and closer to him.
"You can't escape, surrender!" The monkey was trapped in a dead corner and was accidentally knocked into the wall during the chase, making a dull thud.
When the other bandits and others heard the sound of fighting, they quickly chased in the direction of the sound, leaving only a few corpses. The monkey escaped to another passage again.
However, this passage also led to a dead end. The monkey felt that he had no way to escape and decided to turn around and fight to the death with his pursuers.
When the pursuers approached, the monkey suddenly turned around and punched one of the pursuers, but the other pursuers reacted quickly and surrounded the monkey.
In this fierce fight, although the monkey performed well, it was eventually trapped. Finally, the monkey was escorted by the pursuers to the leader.
"Hahaha, if I want to escape, you can't catch me." The monkey suddenly raised his head and laughed.
"Then you were caught by me after all." The leader made a gesture of wiping his neck and was too lazy to even ask questions, which showed how strong his murderous intention towards the monkey was.
"That's because I want you to catch me." The monkey smiled mysteriously and broke free from his restraints right under the leader's nose. In the blink of an eye, several bandits in front of him had already fallen down, holding their necks.
The leader was shocked and immediately punched the monkey, but the monkey dodged and a bloody mark appeared on the leader's arm.
"I'm going to kill you!" the leader roared and kicked him.
"Haha, it's as if you didn't intend to kill me." The monkey sneered, his figure flashed, and he pressed forward, leaving another blood mark on the leader's body.
"Kill him!" The leader had never encountered such a cunning enemy. Although he was weak, he could not catch him at all. In a few breaths, the leader had four or five more wounds on his body.
"Just hack him to death!" the leader roared, knowing that he could not do anything to this loach-like enemy with his bare hands.
"You bunch of trash, I will definitely come back to find you, hahaha." Faced with the siege of the swordsman, the monkey could only choose to retreat and was forced into a corner step by step.
"Chop him into pieces!" The leader gave an order and all the executioners attacked.
The monkey roared and rushed forward, and everyone fell into a melee again.
A few minutes later, the monkey seemed to fall in a pool of blood.
"Stop and see if he is dead. If he is not dead, continue to chop him to death. If he is dead, hang him outside!" The leader roared and growled.
"Chief, the other party is already dead. I'll hang him outside." In the chaos, a short bandit went up and looked through the other party's body.
"Hang them outside and light them on fire, so that everyone will end up like a spy." The leader roared angrily across the crowd.
"Wait." Suddenly a small leader stopped the people who were helping to drag the corpse.
The little leader looked at the unrecognizable corpse, frowning as if he was thinking about something, but he just couldn't figure it out.
"Hurry up and put out the fire, and get the supplies back for me!" The leader didn't care about the dead at all, and roared angrily.
"Take the body away." The little leader was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to speak in front of the angry leader. Looking at the little man who took the dead away, the little leader was confused, but he didn't dare to ask more questions.
……
"Monkey, you said you burned down three of their warehouses and polluted two water rooms? According to the existing water resources, they can only last for a month at most?" Alpha looked at Monkey Quinn in surprise. He didn't expect that this guy gave him such a big surprise.
"I'm going to go in and investigate again, just in case they have other water rooms." After saying this, the monkey prepared to continue climbing up. The mountain village now was as simple as his own garden to the monkey.
"Don't worry about it for now, go later." Alpha was not in a hurry.
"This is an advanced fighting technique. You two should practice it well." Originally, Alpha wanted to wait until he had dealt with the bandit incident, and then give it to these people if they were willing to go back to the Fatalia Empire with him. But now it seems that he can give it to them in advance.
"Lord Alpha, I am yours for the rest of my life. If you say go east, I will never go west." The monkey held the spell with trembling hands. After all, ordinary people cannot get in touch with the fighting spirit spell, even the most basic one, let alone the advanced one.
"Go away. I don't like men. You should practice well. When I become rich, you all must eat and drink delicious food with me. Don't leave early." Alpha also started to make big promises.
"I promise I won't leave Lord Alpha." The monkey promised again.
"What I said is don't die early." Alpha reiterated.
"Lord Alpha, we will definitely fulfill our mission." Lilia swore solemnly. But Lilia was not as fearless as the monkey. She secretly wondered if she would give herself to Alpha if he made unreasonable demands.
"Lilia, what's wrong? Why is your face so red? Are you sick? Please keep warm." Alpha looked at Lilia's red face with concern and reached out to touch her forehead.
"It's okay, it's okay, Lord Alpha, they are back." Lilia quickly changed the subject.
"Lord Alpha, you are teasing the little girl again." Rowling looked at Alpha indignantly.
"I'm glad you're back. How much casualties did you suffer? Looks like we'll have to have another snack tonight." Alpha's Knights are strong with hundreds of war horses. The dead and disabled horses will be used by Alpha to provide snacks for the knights to replenish their strength, so the strength of the Knights is improving rapidly.
"We had two killed, five seriously injured, and twelve slightly injured. The enemy lost 102 people, 18 escaped, and no one survived. We captured 56 intact war horses, 24 slightly injured, and 28 seriously injured or dead." Rowling knew that Alpha would ask this question, so she immediately reported in detail.
"Hang the enemy's head in front of Joyce's stronghold. Anyone who dares to kill me must bear my wrath." Although the monkey was fine, this was an attitude problem. Alpha definitely didn't care about those ordinary knights.
"Who died, Lord Alpha?" Rowling was very surprised, and she also understood that Alpha was definitely not caring about those ordinary knights.
"Who died, Lord Alpha?" Fattam also came back with the spoils.
"It was me. They hanged me at the gate of the village as a warning to others." Monkey came out with a smile.
"Ah, so are you a human or a ghost?" Rowling hid behind Alpha in fear.
"Even if I am a ghost, I am Lord Alpha's ghost." The monkey made a face.
"Don't scare them. The monkey burned down their warehouse and polluted the water room. The enemy launched a night attack and the monkey was killed. In the chaos, the monkey actually came back to life and ran out again." Alpha explained lightly.
"How's the battle going on your side?" Alpha was more concerned about this.
"Lord Alpha, we had twelve people killed in battle, eight seriously injured, and twenty-four slightly injured. We captured eighteen enemies, killed one hundred and forty-two enemies, twelve seriously injured, eight slightly injured, and twenty escaped. We received one hundred and forty war horses, eighty of which were intact." Fattam replied.
"Okay, Lina, you go and treat our wounded first. Fattam, you go and bring back the prisoners who can walk on their own. Rowling, you go and take care of the enemy's seriously injured." Alpha gave Rowling a look. For such a dark matter, it is more convenient to use Rowling, otherwise there would be no prisoners here.
"Yes, I will complete the task." Rowling gave Alpha an understanding look.
"We can't replenish our personnel! It's a big problem. We lost thirty people in one battle, one-tenth of the enemy!" The enemy lost three hundred, a ratio of one to ten, which is a big victory, but Alpha was still frowning.
"Alpha, you are not satisfied with this! If I could beat these regular knights 1 to 2 before, I would be very happy." Will was very satisfied with the current result. Although these people were bandits, everyone knew that the other party was a regular knight.
"But the enemy is more than three thousand. Now they are just afraid that we have an ambush. When they find out later, they will definitely send out a large army." Alpha would not think that the other side would not even dare to attack his two or three hundred people.
"Then what should we do? If the other party sends out more than a thousand people at one time, we will definitely die." After listening to Alpha's explanation, Will showed a horrified expression.
"Now I use smoke and miasma to confuse the enemy, but this is not a long-term solution. Our strategy is still guerrilla warfare." Alpha recalled the strategic approach of the great man Mao.
"What is guerrilla warfare, Lord Alpha?" Rowling sat next to Alpha. She didn't care about the seriously injured soldiers. She would just go and collect the bodies later.
"If the enemy advances, we retreat; if the enemy stays, we harass; if the enemy is tired, we attack; if the enemy retreats, we pursue. The enemy is powerful now, and we must not confront them head-on." Alpha emphasized again.
"Lord Alpha, how did you come up with the core of guerrilla warfare? I think your summary is amazing." Rowling was the one who received Alpha's true teachings and understood the key to it at the first time.
"Study the Eastern secret arts well." Alpha is now considering how to increase the military strength.
"Alpha, if you want to recruit people, I can give you a suggestion." Will suddenly said.
"I'm all ears, Captain Will." Alpha now has war horses and armor, but lacks people.
"In fact, the Fatalia Empire in the west is not peaceful now. They are a grassland empire and are currently caught in the chaos of war. The people are living in fear of their future and are displaced. As long as you give them enough food to eat, they will follow you. You can recruit as many knights as you want, as long as you give them food." Will turned his gaze to the Fatalia Empire.
After all, Torres Province is a major grain-producing province and an agricultural civilization. The people are not good at riding, and training a cavalry takes a lot of time.
"Can their character be guaranteed?" What Alpha needs is long-term soldiers, not one-time mercenaries.
"You can rest assured about this. The people of the grassland value trust and loyalty the most. Once they follow you, they will not betray you. This is a recognized fact." Will was very sure about this.
"But how to get them here, I don't know."
"Well, we'll think of a way later." If this is true, Alpha is prepared to take all the Prairie Knights and their families over so that he can truly control these people.
"Lord Alpha, the bandits have sent people over." Suddenly, Lilia ran in.
"Let me kill them?" Bach picked up his weapon and prepared to go out.
"Not yet. Let's send all our people to the front line and prepare some dummies to stay behind to hold the line." Alpha roughly figured out the other party's purpose.
"Lord Alpha, do you think they have spied on us?" Rowling also guessed Alpha's intention.
"Yes, Rowling, you are responsible for making the dummies, the more the better. Lilia, come with me to the front line to meet them." Alpha is still afraid of death. Lilia's vision can observe most of the conspiracies in advance.
The three hundred knights were arranged in three layers, with an aggressive momentum, as if there were five or six hundred people, and the momentum was terrifying.
"Brother Will, you take charge of the central army, I will go to negotiate with them." Alpha led the Fattam Heavy Armored Knights and Lilia and others to negotiate.
"You villains, what do you want from me?" Alpha scolded harshly.
"Sir, my captain has ordered that you have captured our people, and we have also captured your knights. We can exchange hostages." The other party had shifty eyes and rolled his eyes around. It was obvious that the exchange of prisoners was fake and he had other intentions.
"No, wait until I break through the enemy camp, then I will be able to rescue them all." Alpha was very confused. He only had so many knights, and they were all here. Where did the prisoners come from?
"Sir, look at the wall of our camp. Those are real female knights, not those civilians before." The bandit pointed at the wall behind him. The other side directly hung up two iron cages, fearing that Alpha could not see it.
"We are regular knights, and death is our fate." At a distance of more than a thousand meters, Alpha could not see the faces of the knights clearly, let alone identify anyone he knew there. Lilia, the only one who could see clearly, did not recognize Tasli.
"If that's what you mean, then I can only hand them over to those bandits. I can't guarantee that they will be intact by then." The bandit threatened.
"How do you want to exchange?" Alpha finally agreed to exchange prisoners.
"One to ten, ten intact knights for one person, ten war horses for one person." The bandit Lion opened his mouth.
