Lord of the Oasis Chapter 385: .Temporary camping village

Arrived at the village near the castle, in the far west of the sunset, the huge volume of the Sunwaya Mountains, even the last sunset was completely blocked, and the sky in the shadow was very dark.

The villagers' beautiful evening was interrupted by the roar of horses' hooves hitting the rough dirt road.

Kant rode ahead.

Lead the troops to wait quietly at the entrance of the village.

They didn't say hello, and they didn't make any rude actions, just like a traveler who used a horse's hoof as a knock on the door, expressing goodwill to the village and asking for communication at the same time.

It's just that these so-called "travelers" are indeed a bit more numerous.

The villagers also stick their heads out.

There was a look of surprise in his eyes.

But there is not much fear, after all, this is the famous Fort Avilés, the village under the rule of Viscount Gibran, and the arrival of ordinary mercenary groups should be respectful and not dare to offend.

Even a gang of robbers will only send out supplementary information, and there will be no more excessive actions.

Soon, there was a reaction in the village.

Teams of infantry, clad in iron armor and armed with 4-meter spears, quickly assembled.

On the central alleyway of the village, they gathered together to form a unique spear formation in the East County Leader. Judging from their skillful appearance, they knew that these guys who seemed to be armed militiamen could not be viewed purely by common sense.

Even Kant nodded secretly: "Good training."

"That's good." Rolf shrugged.

Looking at the armed militiamen, his eyes became a little more curious: "Of course, compared to the armed militiamen in the North County, these guys can be regarded as the elite infantry under the lord. "

"East County has its own military training system."

Kant calmly said: "It has nothing to do with the lion principality ten years ago."

He used to be an apprentice at the academy. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not read or study any books on supernatural powers. Instead, he studied cultural history and human geography the most.

It is natural to know a lot about the changes in the East County Territory.

Includes military.

Kant explained: "This is the infantry training method learned from the Yinpan Kingdom, and it is good at fighting against cavalry." He looked at Rolfe: "If you lead light cavalry to fight in the future, be careful, East County Leader This group of infantrymen from , is not less powerful against cavalry than the group of infantrymen of Rhodok."

"Oh, sure, I've compared these polearm guys to the Rhodoks."

Rolf nodded.

Slightly narrowed his eyes, he murmured: "Although the desert robbers have trouble dealing with these guys, but as long as you get Mamluks or Swadian heavy cavalry, these heavy cavalry troops with better defenses, just Even the Rhodok spearmen can be defeated, let alone these ordinary militiamen."

Kant's business is a little solemn: "But you still have to be cautious. According to the method you said, the price/performance ratio is too bad."

Rolfe shook his head helplessly, "That's why I hate polearms."

What he said was, of course, relying on heavy cavalry to forcefully smash into the pike phalanx formed by these militiamen, using the most violent and most convenient tactics to directly defeat these militiamen and penetrate their guns. formation.

But the heavy cavalry's group charge is counterproductive.

Causes casualties.

Especially in the frontal phalanx of strong rushing spears.

Even if you can rush in and break through, it will cause a lot of damage.

In addition to the fact that both sides can use this tactic of breaking the boat in a decisive battle, if it is in a conventional tentative confrontation, it will never be used. After all, it is not worthwhile to kill a thousand enemies and self-destruct 300.

Therefore, the price/performance ratio is not high.

"4m long gun."

Kant squinted his eyes slightly, with a slightly solemn expression: "Ordinary infantry can't use this weapon."

Pikemen require rigorous training.

Not all infantrymen can use spears, as history has shown.

Only if the civilization is more advanced and can train the generals and civilians into organized, high-discipline and high-coordination, can they use this weapon smoothly, otherwise they are just a living target on the battlefield defeated by the enemy in vain, a motionless turtle shell.

And this tortoise shell can be easily penetrated as long as it is smashed **** the sides and back.

But well-trained is different.

Look at the history.

The ancient Greek city-states in southern Europe were good at using the pike phalanx, and in the hands of Alexander the Great of Macedonia, together with the light cavalry, they became the pinnacle infantry without any disadvantages.

Traditional melee infantry fighting in the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East loses their armor.

The Middle Ages were also dominated by spears.

A similar variant, the Swiss halberd, takes this tactic to the extreme, and even the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire, the fearsome knights, dare not rush in easily.

For example, when the French knights dealt with the Swiss halberd infantry, they dismounted to form a corresponding phalanx of pikes.

History is clear.

Even on the eve of modern times, the Spanish phalanx of spears is still a formidable sight.

And in Chinese history.

As long as they are elite troops, almost all of them are pikemen.

Although the division of arms is not so fine in Chinese history, elite troops can skillfully use spears, spears and other long-pole weapons, as well as bows and arrows, and melee swords.

Therefore, Kant felt a little bit of fear in his heart for these militiamen from the Eastern Commandery.

Without good infantry training.

Not so capable!

Rolfe was also aware of the difference in the Eastern Commandery, so he did not continue to speak. Instead, he rolled his eyes and carefully observed the village in front of him and the spearmen who were on standby, with dangerous eyes in his eyes.

As an evil general, he is not without brains, and he also sensed something wrong with the leader of Dongjun.

In the silence.

In the village, more than a dozen people came hurriedly.

The leader is an old man with vicissitudes of life, flanked by wealthy middle-aged men, sturdy middle-aged men, and more than a dozen guards, wearing more sophisticated iron-inlaid leather armor, holding round shields and sharply polished hand axes .

The village chief, treasurer, and sheriff of the village.

"Hello."

As an elder, the village chief is naturally knowledgeable.

Looking at Kant and the Sarion Lion Knights, lion servants, and 500 elite desert robbers wearing iron armor behind him, his heart couldn't help beating slightly faster.

However, I still managed to stabilize my mind and winked at the sheriff next to me, then said, "It's getting late. Please forgive us for not being able to receive your arrival."

His attitude is humble.

Kant didn't hesitate either. He got off his horse, walked forward, and said calmly, "We want to stay overnight."

"Overnight."

The village chief hesitated slightly.

Obviously, he had some refusals in his heart for the people in front of Kant.

Although there are 50 elite militiamen who can form a phalanx of spears and more than 200 ordinary peasants, it is a bit whimsical to rely on this infantry to resist a cavalry team of more than 500 people.

The sheriff also turned slightly pale, and cold sweat dripped from his temples.

It's not something he can handle now.

In the event of an accident, only Lord Viscount Gibran in the castle can handle it.

After all, according to his eyesight, he can see the imposing manner of the gangsters, or a group of gangsters, just from these strange cavalry teams, especially the fierce eyes of the riders!

"Don't be nervous, old man, we are mercenaries from Nanjun."

Kant sensed the stiffness in their faces.

Smiling slightly, he said calmly: "Arrived here, I want to ask the nobles of the East County whether they want to hire us, after all, it is close to the Sangwaya Mountains, and there may be some aliens or demonized creatures that need to be dealt with. ."

"A mercenary." The village chief breathed a sigh of relief.

But I'm still nervous.

Although it has been shown that they are neutral mercenaries, the old village chief can understand that sometimes these mercenaries can turn into murderous gangsters at any time when they are short of money or in the dead of night.

Robbers and mercenaries, the identities are often interchanged.

"We give money."

Kant chuckled, but the next words interrupted their suspicions: "2 large silver coins, I think they are enough to spend the night in the drying yard outside the village. I think there are only some debris piled up there."

"This..."

The village chief glanced at the treasurer and sheriff behind him.

However, the two behind them were also secretly happy when they heard the two large silver coins, and nodded immediately.

“Okay~IndoMTL.com~ The village chief understands when he sees this.

With a light cough, he said gently, "Head, your mercenaries can rest in the grain drying yard outside the village. In order to show your respect, you can get it for free in our village. Well water, of course, if you want some food, you have to pay extra."

After a while, he felt that his tone seemed a little serious, but he reminded Kant: "This is the territory of Viscount Gibran, and all our income is subject to taxes, so it cannot be given to you for free. "

"I understand."

Kant nodded with a smile: "It won't make you embarrassed."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Seeing this, the village chief was so easy to talk, he smiled and stroked his beard, and soon left with the financial officer and the sheriff, and the vigilance in the village also dissipated a lot.

There must be defenses in the dark. The militiamen are secretly vigilant and dare not disperse easily.

This is their village.

It's my home.

A cavalry team of this size is camping beside them. If they are not careful, it is estimated that as long as they launch an attack in the middle of the night, they will definitely not be able to stop them.

After all, it is near Avilés Fort, the castle of Lord Viscount Gibran, and anomalies will be discovered soon.

"Set up temporary camp."

Kant waved and gave the order.

The desert robbers quickly headed to the grain drying yard not far away to remove all the debris accumulated on it, and at the same time opened the linen tents they brought, and quickly formed a group of fifty tents. Temporary camp.

It was already dark, the stars and the moon had appeared, and thin veils were scattered on the ground.

Kant's first night in East County Territory.
