Mount and Blade

Chapter 51 Tactics

...

After a simple meal, I rested for a while before getting ready to go to the city. The early winter afternoon was not too cold, so it was a good time to go out.

A team of forty-one people and the five people behind Green formed a team and headed towards Buckley City along the path. Scouts also scouted near the team.

"Tread" "Tread" A cavalryman from the patrol came on horseback.

"Captain Chico, we found that militia groups from other villages are clashing with the Vanskerry people one kilometer away on the right. Please give instructions!"

Chico raised his hand to signal the group to stop.

"How's the battle going?"

"Returning to Captain Chico, there are about fifty or sixty people left in the militia group. Among them are a few farmers and women, who should be out to buy and sell goods. There are still more than 20 Vanskiri people."

As for the battle in which the militia group would be defeated if they were not careful, Chico made a decision after a brief analysis.

"Everyone, go immediately to support friendly forces!"

.........

When Green and his team arrived at the place where the conflict occurred, the conflict was almost coming to an end. The morale of the militiamen had reached an extremely low point, and it looked like they would be defeated if there were ten more casualties.

There were only about thirty people left in the militia. A few farmers holding kitchen knives were of little use. Dozens of corpses on the ground dyed the entire snow red, while there were still a dozen Vanskiri people left.

Chico was also observing the battle situation below. If he was not careful, he would definitely suffer heavy losses.

"What do you think, Green?" Chico wanted to hear what the young man thought.

Now the patrol team has gathered the scouts together. Although there are only eight people, it is enough for a charge. However, because the maintenance cost of the cavalry is very high, they are generally reluctant to send them out.

"Two rows of cavalry were interspersed with each other, and after a wave of lance charges, they directly entered the forest area to form a team. The crossbowmen lined up on both sides and fired volleys. The infantry lined up in two linear rows. The front row charged with shields, and those without shields retreated to the second row. "[Current tactics +2 will increase the probability of success and gain battlefield advantage. 】

"Okay, as you said, the cavalry will now be under your command!"

An excellent work assignment. Upon hearing this, Chico immediately handed over the command of the cavalry to Green, and then loudly ordered everyone to arrange themselves in the battle formation mentioned by Green.

After arranging everything, the two looked at each other and nodded.

"charge!!!"

Following Chico's loud shout, Green and the eight cavalrymen rushed towards the Vanskerry pirates down the slope with horse and lances.

"drive!!"

"Tap tap tap" "ta tap tap"

The sound of horse hooves immediately attracted the attention of people on the battlefield.

"Enemy attack!!!"

"It's reinforcements!! Kill!!!"

As soon as the Vanskiri were about to pick up their spears and shoot, they were entangled by the inspired militiamen around them.

"Puff" "Puff" "Puff" "Puff"

"Bang" "Bang"

"Uh-huh..." "Uh-huh..." "Uh-huh..."

[Lance charge inflicted 113 points of damage, knocked out the Vanskerry pirate, gained 144 experience points, and increased pole weapon proficiency to 116 points. 】

The sound of lances breaking through bodies could be heard one after another, as well as the sound of flesh being knocked apart by horses and the cracking of bones being trampled by horse hooves. After the cavalry took the lives of a few people, they ran away without any hesitation, adding many more people to the militiamen who came forward. Opportunity for last hit.

"Fire the arrow!!" "Whoosh" "Whoosh"

When the cavalry drove away, the 20 archers and crossbowmen who had been prepared had already fully drawn the strings, and fired two volleys at the dense area of ​​​​the Vanskerry people.

"Puff" "Swish"

"Uh-huh!!" "Uh-huh...uh..."

The Vanskerry people who had just been trampled to the ground by horses' hooves were shot through by flying arrows and crossbows before they had time to get up. They were then surrounded and eliminated by the charging militia groups.

When Green led the cavalry to turn around again, the Vanskerry people had been completely wiped out, including eight cavalrymen, not one less.

And when everyone in this bloody militia group escorting the villagers saw that the Vanskerry people were finally wiped out by them, they knelt in the snow with the eyes of the survivors and an extremely proud sense of victory, raising their broken shields. He raised his arms high with bright red spears, hugged the new sky, and let out long beast-like howls. Tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes for this hard-won victory!

"tread" "tread"

Green and the cavalry stepped back to the battlefield that had ended. The corpses on the ground and the level of tragedy were all moving. Nearly fifty or sixty militiamen were lying on the ground. Broken limbs and intestines were scattered on the ground. There were also people Wailing and whimpering in pain, many could no longer make any sound.

How tragic! !

"Thank you. We are a militia group from Kerila Village. I am the vice-captain here, Aibo. Our captain has died in the battle. If it weren't for you, we would probably..."

Aibo stood up with difficulty and held the arm of Captain Chico who rushed over to check the situation, but soon he knelt on the ground again and covered his abdomen with one hand, trembling all over and crying bitterly.

The soft armor on his belly was smashed by an axe, blood soaked the entire piece of clothing, and upon closer inspection, several sections of small intestine were exposed outside the belly.

Chico patted him on the shoulder. They were all warriors, even though the fight was so brutal.

"It's all over. Treat the wounds quickly. Your mission is completed. Just leave it to us. We are going to the city."

Cheko looked at the villagers who were willing to sacrifice their lives but not their wealth and were still trying to collect goods. Although they were not valuable, they were all for the sake of obtaining things necessary for life. It was really a dinar that bought the life of the old farmer.

Several peasant women were not seriously injured. They cried to their relatives on the ground. Everyone who survived the disaster had a sad face.

Of the team of more than 80 people, nearly 50 died. Even if a few survived the disaster, they would become disabled from now on. The war cost them too much.

"Thank you... Let the uninjured Dingzhuang go with you. After all, they are from the same village..." Although Ai Bo was seriously injured, he still said with some worry. The road was not peaceful recently.

Just when Cheko wanted to say something, Green had already turned over and dismounted and walked over.

"Don't move. If you don't treat your wound, you will freeze to death." He simply checked the wound on Ai Bo's stomach and stuffed the intestines back and sutured it with a long suture.

"Yes, the whole army will rest on the spot and settle the wounded. Two patrol members will go to Kilala Village to gather villagers to carry the wounded and find a good place for the deceased soldiers."

"Yes, Captain!"

The two cavalrymen rode away. They were all nearby villages. During normal patrols, the scouts on both sides would also contact each other, so it was not difficult to find them.
