Volume Two: The Iron-Blooded Baron Chapter 191: The Bloody Battle of Amondin (14)
Hearing what Sir Aemond said, a leading knight standing nearby was a little worried. He tentatively asked: "Sir Aemond, we are already in front of the enemy. If we don't take the opportunity to attack, what if they attack us?"
What should we do if we launch a night attack?"
The person who asked the question was Sir Perry from Zede Town, a direct county. His family territory was named after it was covered with swamps. Zede Town is a hilly area with mostly swamps, limited arable land, underdeveloped agriculture, and a small population.
, most people make a living by fishing and hunting in the swamps.
However, Zedi Town is considered a relatively wealthy area in the entire county, because the hilly areas here are rich in apples and cherries, and the areas near the swamps are also rich in raspberries and other berries, and these fruits are good raw materials for making fruit wine.
In the relatively backward economy of Brick's northern border, expensive Sarion wine and ale and beer brewed from wheat are relatively luxurious for most people and grassroots officials to drink every day. Therefore, these prices are low.
The fruit wine sales are particularly good.
With the profits from fruit wine, the Sir Perry family not only built a strong castle in Zede Town, but also had a standing army of fifty heavy infantry and more than a dozen light cavalry, which can be regarded as a direct county leader.
Among the soldiers and knights, they are a relatively capable team.
This time, after hearing that Balian had annihilated five hundred Tobar pirates and that Sir Aemond had defeated two Tobar pirates, Sir Perry, who was eager to achieve great results, rushed forward with five knight attendants and thirty hoplites.
, and fifty conscripted farmers and soldiers, rushed over to join the coalition, thinking that they could share the credit in the coming war. After all, everyone has the right to pursue progress.
"Oh, it seems that Sir Perry thinks that I don't know how to fight?" Sir Emond asked with an unhappy face after hearing what he said.
When Sir Perry heard this, he quickly laughed and said: "No! Absolutely not. My respected Commander, I was just thinking nonsense. You are the one who annihilated a thousand Toba pirates in two battles. How can I dare to question you?"
What about the combat level?”
Hearing what Sir Perry said, Sir Emond's face looked much better. He smiled and said: "My brother Perry, have a good rest tonight. I will arrange for two girls to serve you well. When you get up tomorrow morning,
Let’s rush into Bangshui Town and eliminate these dirty Toba Island wild dogs!”
Hearing Sir Emond's confident answer, and the fact that he had really defeated the Toba pirates in two battles, Sir Perry did not dare to say anything more. He also smiled and said: "So, thank you very much.
Brother Mond."
Sir Aemond waved his hand and said: "Be careful, don't let the girls squeeze you dry. You will be too weak to get on the horse tomorrow. Just like our Sir Pippin, you must play one king and three queens."
, as a result, it was difficult to get on the horse today."
Hearing Sir Aemond teasing himself, Sir Pippin laughed and scolded: "You kid, don't just talk about me, you were not much better the night before yesterday! Wouldn't you have more fun with the two inner knights?
?”
"Hahaha!" Talking about this topic can always eliminate tension and at the same time make men full of laughter.
After laughing for a while, Sir Pippin reminded: "But, there will be a war tomorrow. You two should restrain yourself today and don't make any mistakes."
After hearing this, Sir Aemond looked nonchalant. He smiled and said to Sir Pippin: "Don't worry, my Sir Pippin. Believe me, we can really solve the battle in half a day tomorrow.
The combat effectiveness of the Pakistani pirates is extremely poor."
After hearing Sir Aemond's sworn assurance, Sir Pippin and Sir Perry no longer thought about it. After the three of them joked for a while, this thousand-man army came to a place near the river outside Bangshui Town.
A camp was set up in the open ground, and at the same time, the mobile market accompanying the military caravan also started its business tonight.
While the commanders and the military attachés who had a decent income were going to the market to enjoy themselves, the recruited peasant soldiers, county soldiers, and mercenaries were hiding in the camp, shivering, squatting in the wind and snow.
Sitting next to the tent, eating the wine and meat generously given by the nobles before the war started.
The county soldiers and mercenaries were in average spirits, but the conscripted peasant soldiers were in very high spirits, and they were all extremely happy.
Because, among this coalition, nearly half of the farmers and soldiers were recruited. These farmers and soldiers recruited did not always fight for the lord for free. As long as they served for more than three weeks, the lord had to pay them weekly.
Salary.
The peasants and soldiers who followed Sir Aemond have been out for three weeks. Although they have spent most of their time on the road in these three weeks, they are still in service after all. They have the most peasants and soldiers recruited.
Sir Eamond, in view of his abundant capture, generously paid the peasants and soldiers a week's war pay in advance, one dinar per peasant soldier.
Although the money was not much, the farmers who had been paying money and grain to the lord were so surprised to get money back from the lord for the first time. In addition, tonight, a lot of wine and meat were distributed, which made them so happy.
They all forgot about it.
While they were drinking, eating, and having fun in the camp of the Brick Alliance, the main force of 1,000 Toba pirates gathered in Bangshui Town had already laid an ambush around the Brick Alliance camp.
Wolf Lord Kadoha felt the heat, rubbed his hands and said to Count Escalade: "Sir, it's really cold in the north of Brick, but this snow is quite fun. The little bastards have never seen snow on Toba Island.
But they were very happy.”
"Hahaha!" After hearing Wolf Lord Cardo's words, everyone including Count Escalade laughed.
Count Escalade smiled and patted the shoulder of the man sitting next to him in the wheelchair, and said: "Thank you, Wolf Lord Sogg. If it weren't for you, you prepared so many clothes to keep out the cold for us, we warm southerners
People on the island can’t stand such severe cold!”
The former Sir Sogg, now the Wolf Lord Sogg in the Toba Pirates, responded with a smile: "My lord, this is what subordinates should do. As long as I can kill Balian, Viscount Merry and other Brick nobles, I will
I am willing to sacrifice my life.”
Because he was too excited when he spoke, coupled with the biting cold wind, Wolf Lord Sogg, whose internal organs were still injured, coughed "cough, cough, cough".
Seeing him like this, Count Escalade quickly took off his wolfskin cloak, put it on Wolf Lord Sogg, and comforted him: "My good brother, don't worry, I will send these people away."
They come to you and ask you to chop off their heads."
After saying that, Count Escalade looked at Wolf Lord Sogg with tears in his eyes, shook his hand, and asked his personal guards to take him back to Bangshui Town to rest. It has to be said that Escalade
