Gate of Revelation Chapter 238: [First Army]
(long chapter)
Chapter 238 [First Army]
Merlin, the name seems to be the iconic character of the magician profession in Western legends. Alas,
Especially in the legend of King Arthur, Merlin is a legend depicted by heavy ink.
He is King Arthur's magician, consultant, prophet, think tank ...
Well, yes, it's "he", not "she".
Although in some film and television works, Merlin is interpreted as a woman.
But in fact, in orthodox Western legends, Merlin is a male.
In orthodox Western legends, Merlin is a half-blood descendant of the demons (one is elves) and humans. He haunts the forest, can change his appearance into various images, men and women, young and old, and can even be transformed into animals, using animal language to communicate with animals. He also possessed some prophets and prophetic abilities.
From these descriptions, Merlin seems to be a standard magician in Western legends.
Or a ... Druid?
In King Arthur's legend, Merlin is even more important than Lancelot.
For example, after the break of King Arthur's sword in the stone, Merlin took King Arthur to the lake and got a sharper victory contract sword from the fairy in the lake.
At this time, Merlin also made some interesting predictions:
Merlin warned King Arthur that although the scabbard is sharper than the blade, the significance of the scabbard is more important, because the existence of the scabbard can prevent bleeding, and warn King Arthur that he must carry the scabbard with him and cannot forget it.
At the end of the legend, when King Arthur died, he forgot to bring the scabbard with him.
This is a famous prophecy.
But the problem is ...
Merlin is the same as King Arthur. Are all characters that only exist in the legend!
Although Chen Xiaolian has made his own guess, maybe William is the prototype of King Arthur.
But the problem is ... I didn't expect that William's side really had a Merlin! !!
This Merlin ... is also a magician? !!
In history, is there really a magician? !!
...
The surprised expression on Chen Xiaolian's face. Merlin seemed to notice, but the middle-aged man didn't ask much.
Compared with Chen Xiaolian, the response of spare tires is much more normal. They don't seem to have read many western legends and don't seem to know much about the meaning of the name Merlin itself.
"So ... Master Meilin." Chen Xiaolian exhaled: "What can we do for you?"
Mei Lin took a deep look at Chen Xiaolian: "Just now, I found that you could actually understand the map, which surprised me, or was an unexpected surprise. I had an arrangement for you, But now it seems. It seems that the original plan can be slightly modified. "
Mei Lin came to the map and made a circle with his finger on the map.
"Harold ’s vanguard has between 500 and 1,000 troops. This is what we judge based on intelligence gathering and Harold ’s current mobilization potential. The real data should be Will not differ too much from our judgment.
Harold just fought the Norwegian in the north. The Norwegians are our allies. Although they failed, they successfully consumed part of Harold's army. Most importantly, those aristocratic private troops loyal to Harold. A lot has been lost in the north.
Harold ’s current strongest army should be his King ’s Guard. The King ’s Guard will not leave the King. Therefore, the composition of this vanguard should be led by a loyal nobleman Part of the army, plus some peasant army composed of free people. ,
The advantage we currently have is. Harold had no cavalry, most of his army was infantry, and this vanguard was no exception.
Here, this location is a hill. We can stay in an ambush here and attack them at night ... According to my calculations, they were pulled from London and calculated their marching speed. They should pass here tomorrow night, at the latest the next day. We attacked here and there was a big deal for me to defeat this vanguard. "
Meiling said here, he intentionally paused for a while and looked at Chen Xiaolian.
Chen Xiaolian behaved calmly. He didn't ask any questions in a hurry, but looked at Mei Lin quietly, waiting for him to continue.
This calmness surprised Merlin a little bit, and she paid more attention to Chen Xiaolian.
"The composition of our army is like this. The king drafted a hundred men from the Norman Legion to me. This includes the three of you. In addition, the Knights of Taylor Buddha will bring his twenty servants and the private army, Plus a hundred mercenaries raised from the mercenary regiment.
Our Allied Brittany Regiment is willing to provide eighty soldiers. Happily, all eighty soldiers are cavalry. Coupled with the Taylor Cavaliers and his obedience, we can make up a hundred horseback combat forces, which can play an important role in defeating the enemy. "
Chen Xiaolian estimated in his mind that his side is about 300 soldiers ...
The number of enemies is about five hundred to one thousand.
Although the troop strength is at a disadvantage, this is an ambush. There is no intention to calculate it. In addition, if there is no cavalry on the other side, all of them are infantry ... There are a hundred cavalry on our side.
It seems very likely to win!
Not to mention, having your own tires and spare tires in the battle!
Unfortunately, they have already tried in the tent, and the hot weapons cannot be used.
Otherwise, an ak47 might solve the problem.
The system does not allow science and technology to participate.
Otherwise, if Roddy's kid comes in, there is no need to directly summon mechs, then this battle will not need to be fought, and one mech is enough to round the whole of England several times.
"What do we do?"
Chen Xiaolian stared at Mei Lin with a gaze.
Mei Lin smiled slightly: "My new idea now is ... three of you, leading an army, I intend to give you the hundred mercenaries to command you."
Speaking, he pointed to the map: "The ambush point is here. You ambush at the forefront, and then wait for the opponent to pass, don't do it first. Then. Wait for them to pass your ambush point. I will take another person first Launch an attack and defeat them head-on. At this time, no matter if they fight in situ or turn around and run away ... and you, with your mercenary team, copy from the back! "
Chen Xiaolian thought silently. Nodded.
"Once we start, I will let people ignite the fire on the hillside. When you see the fire, you will immediately lead people to attack them from behind! Remember, once you see the fire, do it immediately! And if you do not see the fire , Continue to lurk! "
"Okay, this command is very clear." Chen Xiaolian nodded.
"In addition, I need a good hand that can break through the defense." Merlin's eyes turned to the tires and spare tires, and finally fell on the tires: "I hope he can be with me. Harold's people They are all infantry. But their shield defense is very good. I need a warrior who can cut through the shield wall of the opponent at critical moments!
Chen Xiaolian glanced at the tire, and the tire frowned, without a word.
Chen Xiaolian understands that this is the decision of the tires.
"Yes."
Chen Xiaolian thought for a while. Although the tire left his side, everyone has a team channel to use. There will be no problems in communication.
"So be it." Merlin laughed, his eyes narrowed. Looking at Chen Xiaolian: "I very much hope that in this battle, you can show enough strength and perform well. King William is generous, and as long as you can contribute, he will not hesitate to reward.
Maybe you don't have to call London after this war. You can get the title of knight. "
...
Soon, Taylor Buddha also came to Merlin's tent. Merlin asked Taylor Buddha to leave with Chen Xiaolian and spare tires to the mercenary team.
On the mercenary team, Taylor Buddha announced the king's order. Specify that Chen Xiaolian and spare tires become the commanders of the one-hundred-member mercenary team.
Of course, this decision was opposed by many mercenaries. After all, the identity of the three of them was only a very insignificant guy in the mercenary team, and the mercenaries were undisciplined and unruly.
However, with one spare hand, with only one hand, seven or eight burly strong mercenary soldiers were brought down in a row, the voice of opposition gradually disappeared.
Strength is respect, which is also a common rule in the mercenary world.
...
"How's it all arranged?"
William was in the tent. When he saw Merlin walk in, he looked up and asked.
Melin nodded: "I'm ready, I'll say goodbye to you, and I'm ready to go."
William stood up, walked in front of Merlin, and stared at Merlin's eyes tightly; "You ... be careful! I await your news of triumph! And ... you must come back alive! Merlin!"
"Your Majesty ..."
"I'm not distrusting your ability." William shook his head: "You have to understand that your existence is more important to me than the victory of this small attack! Even these three Hundreds are dead, and I do n’t care if you can come back alive! For me, your wisdom and loyalty are priceless wealth! "
Merlin stared at William's eyes. There seemed to be a slight excitement in the eyes of this middle-aged man, but he soon disappeared.
"Well, how about those three new boys?"
Melin thought about it: "It's a little bit beyond my ability and I've made sure. Of the three people, the youngest guy is the guy named Galen. It seems that the other two absolutely obey him. He is the boss. "
"Interesting."
"Maybe you can think about one thing. After this ambush, if they have achieved good results, you can reward one of them as a knight first."
"I will consider it." William solemnly promised.
...
"Remember your mission."
Taylor Buddha is one of the few "acquaintances" in this army.
Although William's servant knight, he is often mocked as a bullshit.
But it seems that this guy is actually capable. At least, the twenty obedients he brought with him, all of them were very clever, but they were all cavalry! !!
Even in France, known for its cavalry in continental Europe, this is rare.
This Taylor Buddha must be rich!
In the Middle Ages, it was very expensive to equip a soldier on horseback!
"Wait for us to light the fire!" Taylor Buddha finally told Chen Xiaolian and others.
"What about Master Merlin?" Chen Xiaolian watched Taylor Buddha prepare to take the cavalry away.
Taylor smiled back. The tone was a bit disdainful: "Master Merlin is the person the king trusts most. He has been very lucky to meet you once. Are you planning to travel with him all the way? Master Merlin will leave with the Norman Legion soldiers.
As for you ... the guide will take you to the designated place. "
Wizard?
Chen Xiaolian soon knew who the wizard was.
Actually ... an old acquaintance.
...
The head was helplessly sandwiched between two soldiers and came up.
This guy is frustrated. He wears a chain mail on his body. The helmet seems a little small, and his head is really big.
"How are you?" Aren't you going to this event? "
"I ... I was forced."
My head was sobbing and crying: "I came to London with a brother of mine the year before. We smuggled wine. We are more familiar with the terrain of this place. It is also my fault that when I drank the other day, I blew up my bragging and got caught by these guys Here it is. I must participate in this battle ... Otherwise, they have a hundred ways to kill me. "
Chen Xiaolian held back a smile and motioned to the soldiers around his head to let go of him.
The head struggled a bit, broke the soldier's control, and hurried to Chen, the master. I didn't know your identity before. You see ... "
Chen Xiaolian waved his hand: "If you want to leave, I can't agree that I need a guide."
When his face went down, he smiled bitterly: "I see, but ..."
"Rest assured, I will take care of you as much as possible. As long as you are obedient, I can guarantee that you can come back alive."
The expression on his head is obviously a bit dismissive.
He also heard some news. Three hundred soldiers were dispatched to attack the enemy halfway in the camp. It is said that the number of enemy troops was close to one thousand.
This is the Middle Ages. The discipline of the medieval army was poor. The concept of confidentiality is not very clear, and it is not difficult to hear the news.
And the big head guy. Just in a very simple idea: three hundred people went to hit a thousand people.
Can this kind of task still work?
I have already tied one of my feet to the horn of death.
Maybe ... can you escape halfway?
Chen Xiaolian has already dragged this guy directly to his side, and found a dagger to stick it on the cheek of his head.
The cold dagger's blade sharpens the expression on his head.
"You better not play tricks." Chen Xiaolian said lightly: "As long as you obediently and take us to the right place, then I can personally guarantee. You do not even need to be on the battlefield, when we play, you You can hide behind it! Of course ... you do n’t have the right to distribute loot after the war. "
"Really ?!"
"Of course it is true." Chen Xiaolian glanced at him: "You don't seem to be able to fight, you are not as many as you are, you are not as many as you are."
"Okay! I hope you can fulfill your promise!" said his head solemnly.
"Jiawen!" Chen Xiaolian shouted. But it wasn't until he shouted a third time that the spare tire came over that he called himself, and hurriedly responded, "What's the matter?"
Chen Xiaolian took a deep look at the spare tire and shoved his head to him: "This guy gives it to you. Keep an eye on him along the way. If he runs away, break his leg!"
"I will never run away! I can swear to God !!" The head quickly vowed to promise.
Chen Xiaolian stopped paying attention to him, but walked to the hundred mercenaries and shouted, "Are you all ready? You bastards! Ready, let ’s go! Remember, This time, we will not lose the death! We are going to make a fortune! Those Londoners have no idea that we will be waiting for them there! Our presence will scare them to urinate pants! What you need to do is to use The knife in their hands cut off their heads! Then, take your loot!
I see! !! "
After all, the mercenaries are the guys who lick the blood with their blades. At this moment, they have aroused the fierce gas in their hearts and screamed loudly.
Then I lined up a loose queue and set off.
Chen Xiaolian walked to the end, and the spare tire came to him, and whispered, "Head of the regiment, commanding the army for the first time, how do you feel?"
"Fuck." Chen Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "This group of medieval Uighurs is also called the army? When I went to school with my classmates when I was in junior high school, they were more organized and disciplined."
