Chapter 295: Unsuccessful Climate (Part II)
[I'm going home at the end of the month.] It is estimated that the train will take more than 30 hours, maybe 40 hours. That is, from the first of next month, I try to send a change every day, and I will resume when I get home. The overall update volume next month will be higher than this month, and the quality will be better, and I'm really out of shape this month. Here, I wish myself a smooth journey, ha......]
There were only eleven swordsmen who followed Su, but these eleven people were dozens of times stronger than the hundreds of slaves. They turned around and followed, and the two thieves, still in a state of distraction, were beheaded by the swords that followed.
Qin Yin's battle formation skills are very detailed, and there are many types of sabers, but no matter what kind of sabers, they can't deal with heavy armor. The thieves wore light armor and animal skins around their necks, and the swordsmen saw the weakness and slashed down, and their heads fell to the ground. The tiny iron cables lining the hides were cut off.
Su Zong's horse rushed forward, and the blade gun in his hand stabbed left and right, as fast as lightning. With every shot, a thief fell from his horse with serious injuries. Su does not kill either, although the blade of the sword and the gun are not suitable for horse warfare. It also depends on who uses it, the blade of this weapon is slightly wider, as long as it pierces the body, it will make people lose their combat effectiveness immediately and bleed profusely.
The disadvantage of the sword blade gun is that it is easy to break, but Su Jian Qi is vertical, a sword blade gun flies, and the thief can't see the way at all, he only feels that the sword is clear, and then he is stabbed off the war horse by Su.
In a few breaths, Su had already passed through the ranks of thieves, with more than a dozen corpses behind him, and more than twenty seriously injured people who had fallen from their horses. Those who died were all caused by Aini's own soldiers.
Su is not reluctant to kill, he has been educated, and he does not care about the enemy's life, but on the battlefield, it is best to let the enemy suffer incurable damage. If the enemy were to rescue these wounded, they would have to pay a much greater price.
The dozen or so rode through the ranks of thieves, reflexively and came back again. On the official road next to the woods in front, after four rounds of arrow rain, dozens of people who landed were all shot dead, and not a single war horse escaped. Those slaves were not good at archery, but they were ruthless enough, and fifty people were divided to go to the official road, drew their short swords, and mended them on each corpse. Then he pulled out the arrow and withdrew it. Fifty other men were in the middle of the road, and they took out of their skins and sprinkled them on the ground.
Then the hundred men divided into five groups, two groups went back to the woods, retrieved their shields on horseback, and simply blocked the road.
These 100 men had a shield in their left hand and a short sword in their right hand, but it was the standard way to deal with cavalry. The shape of the short sword is somewhat like a triangular sword, specially designed for armor piercing, and it is an extremely deep wound when it penetrates the human body, which is difficult to resist even with heavy armor.
The servants and personal soldiers of these big families were originally a reliable force of the nobles, skilled in their techniques, and ruthless enough.
The strong man in the thieves' camp did not chase after him, and Su alone rushed left and right with eleven sword masters, unstoppable. Those thieves couldn't organize a counterattack, and wanted to escape, but the way out was already broken.
The three thieves rode their horses at the shield-wielding slaves, but were squeezed off their horses by a dozen of the slaves with their shields, and then several short swords were poked indiscriminately. The thief's light armor was poked through dozens of holes, and he died in the blink of an eye.
The slaves, who had been hit by their horses and wounded in the shoulders, retreated into the woods, and the men behind them filled the gap with shields, and the thieves had nowhere to escape, so some began to jump off their horses and fall on the ground in surrender.
Su felt a little bored, this time Saleen gave him the task, he didn't complete it, the number of thieves who came from Yin* was too small, once he entered the ambush circle, his morale was completely weakened, and he and eleven swordsmen were killed without a fight.
After all, thieves are not as good as the regular army, even if their personal strength is slightly stronger, their combat ability is not as good as that of ordinary soldiers.
More than a dozen swordsmen were faster than Su's hands, and they rushed to kill several times, and there were less than twenty thieves left, and these more than twenty thieves saved their lives because they were lying on the ground.
Su didn't bother to do anything, and said to the slaves: "You take these war horses and captives back first, and I will break them later." ”
His character is cautious, for fear that there will be thieves who will continue to chase after him, and the slave will really be injured at that time. Anyway, Saleen's purpose was halfway through, and he experimented with the loyalty of these slaves. These slaves wore light armor and carried shields, and they dared to withstand the impact of the light cavalry head-on, although their strength was a little worse, but they all dared to fight to the death.
With the presence of the magician, the bruises from the bruises of those slaves knocked out by the war horses were still easy to treat, and Su slowly followed behind the group. This time, more than 100 horses were captured, although the number was smaller, but it was a relatively big blow to the thieves. The number of war horses in the thieves has always been very small, and the loss of two hundred horses is more than ten thousand gold coins.
Saleen's fears don't exist, and these thieves don't make it. Sue made such a judgment. If he was given a battalion of troops, as long as it was of the same quality as Rex's men, he would not care about this kind of bandit, even if it exceeded 100,000.
In the story of the bard's rap, there are always powerful thieves who dare to rob the royal army, which is impossible in reality. Even if there is a Silver Juggernaut in the group of thieves, it is useless. It is impossible to match the army, unless the number of thieves is staggering.
Just like now, 10,000 thieves are besieging Side Star City, and there are only more than 100 regular troops in Side Star City, and the rest are peasant soldiers. If there was no city to rely on, the nobles of Side Star City would have committed suicide long ago.
Fortunately, more than two dozen captives were captured, and these thieves were at least the level of junior swordsmen, and they could be regarded as the elite of the thieves. When I go back, I'm sure I'll be able to ask for useful information.
Half an hour after Su left with the swordsman, the thieves chased after him one after another, and saw the corpses on the official road outside the woods. The thieves hesitated and did not pursue any further. Each of his companions who were killed by the indiscriminate arrows had a sword on his neck, and his cervical vertebrae were broken. The thieves felt chills in their hearts and did not dare to pursue.
Su saw that there were no thieves chasing after him, so he sped up. Shaman's fifth-level mage was also brought back to the camp by him on the way, but the hundreds of corpse soldiers were still five miles away from the camp, in case the thieves organized a large group of people, those corpse soldiers went berserk, and they could completely block it for a while.
Back at the camp, Sue rejoiced when he saw that the camp was heavily guarded. Salin was not good at marching in battle formations, though. But far stronger than those thieves, such a camp defense is also a famous general in the subcontinent plane.
The barracks was very relaxed, Su and the fifth-level mage entered, and saw that Salin was setting up the wine and meat, waiting for him to come back.
"My lord. Su saluted, and Salin waved his hand, signaling Su not to do this.
"The captives you brought back are very interesting, and they want to take refuge in me. Do you say, I'm like a bandit?" said Salin and Sue joked. His status as a sixth-level mage is already difficult for people to get close to, and if the followers around him are still old-fashioned to death, he himself is the most uncomfortable.
Su thought about it seriously, then nodded. Everyone else couldn't help but laugh, even Salin himself. He thought back to what he had done, and he really wanted to be a thief leader. Especially his plan this time, let the thieves attack the city, and he did not rescue, but waited for the thieves to break the city, and attacked him from behind.
In Saleen's opinion, this is a matter of course, the nobles of Phoenix are basically willing to take refuge in Metatrin City, and those who remain now are either people from Holy Rock City or self-righteous guys. Holy Rock City fights against the aristocratic power of the Duchy of Phoenix, and if you don't take refuge in one side, you will be eaten sooner or later.
The banner of the county king of the Rex Empire is still very attractive, not to mention that the strength shown by Rex is enough to compete with the Grand Duke of Phoenix back then.
"Sue, sit down and talk. Salin pointed to the seat next to him, saw that Su was seated, and then said: "This group of thieves has good strength, there is a sixth-level magician, but this sixth-level magician will not attack the city, but only to prevent the leader of the thieves from being assassinated." ”
"Why?"
"The agreement between Alchemy City and Holy Rock City, in any of Qin Yin's cities, magicians are not allowed to personally participate in the attack. A mage who dares to do so. Unless he can guarantee that he will not be hunted down to death by Alchemy City. Salin explained, remembering that Sue was not from this plane. But in the presence of Shaman, he did not continue to explain.
Su understood, and said, "If we kill in the back, that sixth-level magician will attack us, right?" ”
Su didn't know what Alchemy City was, but he understood, it was estimated that it was a huge force composed of magicians, and this force was so big that it could influence the behavior of all the mages in the Qin Yin Empire.
"That's right, the prisoner you captured is from the Black Dragon King Thieves Group, this thief group has thousands of people, but they are usually divided into teams of less than 100 people to commit crimes. This group of thieves is already considered powerful, and the rest of the thieves have been hired to attack the city here. ”
"Hire?" In the subcontinent plane, thieves will not accept hiring, Su is a little strange.
"Hmph, among those people, there are mercenaries, but they are all mercenary groups below the fourth level, and they don't have much credit. ”
"Have you found out who the leader is?"
"No, the thieves who attacked the side star city accepted the leadership of a group called the Black Wind Thieves Regiment. The north of Phoenix is now empty, and they have gathered tens of thousands of people like this, and basically a small city of the size of Side Star City cannot hold it. ”
"What is the lord going to do?"
"Are you sure you can kill that sixth-level mage?"
Su thought for a moment and said, "It's too far away, after all, a sixth-level mage can already fly." ”
In fact, the Silver Juggernaut can also fly, but the height and durability of the flight are not as good as that of the mage. If the magician had tried to run away in the first place, Sue would have had no choice.
"Don't worry, if he flies, he will die. Salin's words made Shaman's mage frown again, but this time he didn't show contempt, but found a trace of strong aura that Salin accidentally leaked.
"If he doesn't fly, even if he is a seventh-level magician, I can be sure of dealing with it. "Su is not modest this time, the rank of the Silver Sword Saint is equivalent to an eighth-level magician, as long as the magician does not fly, it is difficult to be his opponent. Rex's people had a lot of trouble to take out a Silver Swordmaster, and the Silver Swordmaster wasn't something like a cabbage and a potato. Saleen was able to receive two followers, and his luck was beyond measure.
"That's good, you kill that sixth-level mage, and the rest of the people won't be in trouble. The Side Star City can hold out for two or three days, and after two days, we will go up again, and the Side Star City will be breached, and we will go to help the nobles there recover. ”
