Medieval Empire Soldier

   Chapter 36 Thirty-six · The advantage is in me

  October 8, 2502 in the imperial calendar.

  The second day of the Oak Village army's expedition.

The location of this battle is located in the central part of the Barondom of Jon, surrounded by forests, the road is far away, wild beasts are often seen in the forest, and the roads between the forests are not easy to walk, and coupled with the attack, the marching speed of the Oak Village army is also limited. , the daily march is less than 15 kilometers.

In the deep forest, six carriages were parked in the middle of the road. There were **** wounds on the corpses of several inferior horned beasts. Beside the corpses, the soldiers of Oak Village who had just experienced an ambush battle were cleaning the battlefield, their long spears poking repeatedly. Corpse, in case there is a horned beast that is not dead and hurts people.

  Laylen walked out from the depths of the black forest with several spear and shield soldiers. The dark silver plate armor was covered with black blood, and he was carrying a hideous bull head in his hand, which was obviously the head of a screaming shaman.

   raised his hand to wipe the sweat overflowing from his forehead, and the Ranger Albert put away his longbow and walked over. "My lord, the battlefield has been cleaned up. There are a total of 14 inferior horned beasts and 6 big horned beasts."

   said, he glanced at the head that Lailen was holding: "There is also a screaming shaman that you killed."

   "How about the casualties of the soldiers?" Lailen handed the head of the bull in his hand to the soldier on the side. The shaman screaming was already a higher threat among the beastmen, and the corruption of chaos attached to them far exceeded that of the horned beast.

   The powerful screaming shaman can easily slaughter an army of 100 people with just a large-scale magic spell. Fortunately, the head that Lailen encountered was still in his infancy, and simple chaos magic could not be used proficiently.

   When it roared out of the deep forest, it happened to appear in front of the kingdom knight, and was slammed by the latter.

   "No one died, but 6 people were injured. The most seriously injured one was draped over his shoulders by the machete of the bighorn. Fortunately, he was covered with two layers of chain armor, and the wound was not deep."

   "Let the heavy soldiers gather the dead horned beasts into piles and burn them, cut down trees along both sides of the road, build camps on the spot, and give priority to the wounded to rest." Laren wiped the warhammer in his hand and ordered.

"Yes."

Soon after the order of the knights of the kingdom was issued, the militiamen who stayed behind the carriage cut down trees in an orderly manner, set up tents, placed wooden barriers around the camp, collected firewood and set up iron pots to boil water and cook.

  In the animal skin tent that was first erected, on clean coarse cloth cushions lay several wounded soldiers. The Oak Village pharmacist who accompanied the army had simply treated their wounds, applied cool herbs, and tied bandages.

  Layen visited around and instructed the transport militiamen to cook more broth to reward the soldiers.

   During the two days of marching, we were attacked no less than 3 times along the way, but Lailun's newly trained soldiers also performed very well, and they were able to ban them.

Except for the first time there was a bit of a rush, these two attacks were obviously much more mature. The spear and shield soldiers could quickly form a formation and hold a group. Shot blocking.

It is thanks to Gavin, Albert and Sith that they can grow in a short period of time. They lack the execution of strong grassroots officers, and no matter how powerful individual soldiers are, they cannot deal with a dozen horned beasts, but they are limited to soldiers. .

   On the three temporary wooden platforms, a crossbow soldier was on alert for the surrounding movements, and the remaining spear and shield soldiers were on guard for two hours in turns according to a team of four.

  The soldiers who were temporarily resting took off their armor, and in their tents, one by one, they talked and laughed about their military exploits. The knight master allowed them to scavenge the beastmen they killed, and the loot they scoured did not need to be handed in.

   After several battles, everyone has gained something, some have more than 30 copper coins, and some are only a few sporadic coins.

   The money earned from fighting is much better than ploughing food in the hard-working fields. It is fast and convenient. Many people have some expectations for Lailun's selection of servants.

  Lauren's tent was set up in the center of the camp, covering an area of ​​more than ten square meters.

The two braziers can not only illuminate, but also ward off the cold. The knight's plate armor that has been wiped clean is hung on one side of the wooden frame. The Hammer of Heram is placed in a prominent position. There is a low table and a few low stools, a simple map is spread out on the table, and a pot of hot water and a few mugs are placed on a wooden plate in the corner.

  For the sake of strict military discipline, Lailun didn't bring half a bottle of wine. He drank hot water for two days to warm his stomach and quench his thirst.

   Taking advantage of the break, the Kingdom Knight called up the system panel.

  【Host Name: Lailun】

  【Race: Human】

  [Level: lv5 (experience value: 1762\\3000)]

  [Equipment: Hammer of Heram (purple rank), Lost Knight's Plate (green rank) Luther Hus' holy emblem (blue rank)]

  【Lucky Value: 37\\100】

  【Faith: 789\\1000】

  [Skills: Melee Mastery 2, Defense Mastery 2, Reckless Impact 1, Flare Art]

  [Characteristics: Majestic (range +4 morale), Holy Hammer (probability trigger + double piety)]

  Three battles added 562 experience points to Lallen, leaving only half of the experience points left for lv6.

Since he took office as the lord of Oak Village, because of the awe of the knights by the villagers, he will bring a stable [10 piety] to Laren every day, plus some trivial events, the second stage of 1000 piety, it seems It can be reached in the spring of next year.

   For another draw, you may need to wait until your lucky value is full, or a major imperial holiday, such as Winter Veil.

  As the territory develops day by day, Lailun also finds that there are many deficiencies. Hard power depends on the system to grow, and soft power can only be done by himself.

   After taking a deep breath, the Kingdom Knights switched to the campaign map panel. On the sand table surrounded by the fog of war, a bright "Holy Hammer" flag symbolized the location of Laylen. In the southern position of the flag, the Oak Village logo was clearly visible.

  Lairn withdrew his gaze and glanced at the upper right of the sand table, where a striking scarlet wolf's head glowed with a dark red circle to show its existence, only a day's journey away from the army of Oak Village.

   To the west and north of the sand table, there are several flags approaching the Scarlet Wolf's head, forming an encirclement trend with Laylen's "Holy Hammer" flag.

   The most obvious flag is the Creel army, which is almost parallel to the Oak Village army.

  Although Lord Draven was unable to send troops to reinforce the battle, as Captain of the Knights of the White Wolf, Kriel had the right to mobilize the Church of Uric army in Bray Town, as well as the army of personal squires.

  Lairen clicked on the details: [13 White Wolf Knights, 36 Uric Brothers, 35 Swords and Shields, 27 Archers]

   There are various types of troops, including both the church armed monks and the imperial army. Lailen guessed that the 36 Uric monks were the Uric church army in Bray Town.

  Clear brought more than 100 people back and forth, and the strongest fighting force was only 13 white wolf knights.

  Laylen turned to other forces, more or less in number, and each team was led by at least one knight.

   In Sir Duran's army with the largest number, 87 militiamen, 21 archers and 4 ranger knights accompanied the army, while the smallest army was only more than 20 people.

   They were two or three days away from the final meeting point, and most of the troops in the Barondom of Jon had arrived at their designated positions, set up camp and waited for more reinforcements.

   Judging from the situation of the sand table, the number of troops recruited by the Empire is more than 500 people. On the other hand, the number of soldiers of the Norsca Blood Wolf Tribe is less than half of the Empire.

  500 people vs 200 people, the advantage is in me!

The    Empire has an absolute numerical advantage, but Lailun knows how powerful the Norsca are in combat. They are strong and physically strong, generally more than 1.8 meters tall, extremely bloodthirsty, and have rich battlefield experience.

   A few years ago, in a field battle near the Blood Moon Forest in the Nord Territory, 800 Norsca invaders, in the woodland, literally defeated more than four times the number of the Imperial Army.

More than 1,300 heads were captured, the huge blood sacrifice to the Beijing Temple, and even a Khorne bloodthirsty madman was attracted. It was not until the help of Nordland, Midenland and a group of mysterious woodland residents that the imperial army was able to survive. To exile the Khorne and wipe out the Norsca army.

  This battle, a little careless, is the recurrence of the Battle of the Blood Moon Forest, and Lailun is also uncertain about winning.
