Chapter 100: Crockpots
For the cavalry infantry of the Elan Kingdom who followed Ying Ming to fight, there was no knight who could not be solved by a jar of fertilizer.
If one can is not thrown accurately, then another can is thrown.
The kingdom of Alan has always suffered from the effects of hunger, and the Irish mother even tolerated the stinging of nettle rhizomes in the wild to make soup in order to feed the large number of children.
The immigrants from the Ming Dynasty brought a lot of seeds and planted potatoes on a large area of the land of Ailan in the north of the island, although the food was so large that people wanted to vomit, but the hungry people still couldn't help but want to eat it, and collecting fertilizer became their great strategy, everyone should collect their own and livestock manure - in fact, this strategy was very criticized by Ying Ming, he couldn't stand every cavalry of the Ailan Kingdom collecting their own feces on the ship.
The cabin is not breathable.
So he issued a ban on the ships that the soldiers were not allowed to collect manure, especially in his crockpots.
The predecessor of those crockpots was their baggage, which contained grain, mainly meat and kimchi, but these guys finished the meal and immediately filled the crockpot with dung, who could stand it.
In fact, these mounted infantry are all cavalry, but due to the tradition of the Ailan Kingdom, their cavalry is extremely inefficient in fighting on horseback, and it is different from the tactics of Beiyang cavalry such as Ying Ming, so they are used as horse infantry by Ying Ming, let them follow the maneuver on horseback, and after discovering the enemy, they will dismount and approach in the form of infantry to carry out the mission of cleaning up the battlefield.
The roads in the west of England were not in good condition, with only one wide official road, and most of the rest of the country was fields and wilderness, which provided extraordinary convenience for their ambushes.
According to the telescope, he could spot the enemy five or six miles or even twenty miles away, and because of the blushing military performance of the four lieutenants in Puli County some time ago, the reinforcements of the surrounding enemy were very despised strategically and tactically, and from a great distance they could see the troops walking in their own homes and the smoke rising from a rush.
The Beiyang cavalry roared by, and basically the camp and marching troops were disrupted, and the English levies were pulled down to the same military level as the infantry of the Elan Kingdom, and then they were defeated by the Iran soldiers who rushed into the camp with a greater number.
Since the first encounter with the heavy knight armed to the teeth, Ying Ming has revoked the ban he had issued on the ship, allowing the Iran soldiers to collect urine and feces, and smash them in the face when they see the heavy knight.
Usually a skilled knight will instinctively choose to swing their two-handed greatsword and two-handed mace to block rather than dodge when being hurled, because they have plenty of confidence in their martial arts.
This kind of self-confidence is very good, and it ensures that the stench will splash everywhere - almost all knights who have been hit by this dimensionality reduction will subconsciously froze, and then be pushed down by the Aylan soldiers who greet the man, and insert what can be inserted into the place where it can.
In this way, they get a set of ornate plate armor that is stained with.
However, in fact, there have not been a few battles like this, and the small nobles of England are generally still very poor, and under normal circumstances, the Beiyang cavalry can solve the enemy with a spear charge or a golden gourd strike, but it is really not possible to take out a flintlock handcuff and shoot it cleanly.
Most knights are not actually equipped to achieve the extremely high level of protection that requires being projected by crockpots.
Since he left Puli County, he has been making waves in a sea of happiness for several days.
In some troops, more than a dozen people were scattered for several days, and they were wiped out by Ying Ming when they found out in front of them; Some of them have just come out of the village, and all the dry food and property they brought with them have contributed; So much so that now Ying Ming is digging holes in the fields west of Plymouth to hide the treasures they have harvested.
In fact, it's not a treasure, it's just some ugly plate armor, unriveted inferior chain mail and weapons and the like, the better trophies are worn on the soldiers of the Ailan Kingdom, and the worse objects can only be buried, and they can't carry them anyway.
It wasn't until a troop from Cornwall appeared in the field of vision of the Ming army that Ying Ming's happy journey was finally delayed, and the troops of more than 500 people, knights, heavy cavalry, and light cavalry plus more than 40 together, were almost up to the number of clay pots they had saved, and they didn't dare to go up to be demons.
But even if they can't beat them, there is still a chance, Ying Ming sent people with binoculars to stare at them from afar, leaving all kinds of traces on the road...... The traces of the large group of people passing by are already obvious, but I don't know why, the enemy just doesn't take the bait.
Later, there was really no way, so Wang Jinzhong took his few riders with the ability to ride and shoot to the enemy's camp for three miles, and shot the enemy's sentry to death with bows and arrows.
Even so, they waited until the next day to continue their march and found the corpses next to the corpse road before they finally realized that there might be enemy troops.
Immediately, more than 20 people, including two heavy cavalry, light cavalry, and infantry, were sent to follow the trail all the way, and finally succeeded in ushering in the clay pot smashed on the head.
After several days of fighting and reaping the spoils of war, the enemy they encountered in this squad led by two heavy horsemen looked like this: in a small col, three archers in chain mail gathered around a campfire to eat barbecue, their longbowmen wound up and aimed, the infantry outflanked from both flanks, and the light and heavy six horsemen reined in behind the archers, ready to pursue.
The three well-dressed archers spotted them from afar, mounted their dwarf horses and tried to flee, while the archers fired arrows and the cavalry pursued.
The cavalry had not gone far when a group of Irish men with axes emerged from the woods, and they tripped over some of their horses by pulling ropes on the ground.
Behind them, a squad of richly armored cavalrymen with spears emerged from the other flank, charged their line of archers, and then pulled out their muskets on horseback, and their archers and infantry were gone.
The leader of the Irish, several foot soldiers wearing full-body plate armor and carrying large axes, approached the knights who had lost their horses, looking like they wanted to fight them one-on-one, and the knights under the helmets smiled fiercely at the scene, no one who had practiced martial arts all their lives was afraid of such a battle, and they were often the winners, even if the Irish wore the same plate armor as them, the result could not be changed.
Until the Irishman walked in, put his big axe on the ground, pulled out a crockpot from his waist and threw it at him.
The valiant knight was never afraid of this kind of throwing weapon, he didn't choose to swing his great sword to split it, he just stood still, waiting for the throwing weapon to smash into his face - nothing could break through his armor, not a tomahawk, not a morning star, a pistol, or a mace, he had the best plate armor, and he deliberately wore an armed suit under the plate armor, which did make him unable to move, but it worked.
The secret weapon smashed open on his head, yes, as he thought, unscathed.
But why does it stink a little? The helmet's eye sockets were also covered with a cloudy solid-liquid mixture, which smelled familiar.
The knight sneered hard, hmm...... It's.
