Mercenaries Under the Sky

Generally speaking, knights are divided into two levels, one is called Banneret, which is called knight. The name comes from their rectangular banner, which is the main force of combat. The apprentice knights are called Bachelor, or apprentices. They form a smaller queue and follow the main force. They need to accumulate experience and master more combat skills. The flag of the trainee knight is also rectangular, but the end is split into a dovetail shape. After they have achieved considerable merit, they can request an upgrade from the military chief. The herald then cut off the swallowtail on the banner and upgraded it to a knight.

All these two knights are guarded by their servants, who have long triangular spear flags on their lance tips. The specifications of these flags are uniform, with the family coat of arms painted on it. Correspondingly, the knights are divided into two levels, and the servants also have two levels. Squire refers to the older servants, who participate in the battle with the master; Page is equivalent to a serviceman, mostly a teenager trained in knights.

——The Black Dragon Knight “Disbanded!” In Chapter 25 of the Eminor Continent Knight War. With the last command, the Chi Aotian dragon slowly hovered down from the sky.

Chi Aotian opened the keel armor again and found that the eyes of dozens of officers in the Shengxue Mountain defense zone had all changed subtly.

For officers in the Shengxue Mountain defense area, a considerable part of the previously hidden hostility towards Chi Aotian was generated by mistrust. Especially Chi Aotian showed that he has always been a brutal and unreasonable teenager. Until then, the officers knew that the boiling magma was born under the cold expression of the teenager. Whether it was Chi Hanfeng ’s words before the battle, or the statement that the Black Dragon Knights had died for the sacred church for hundreds of years, these words have caused a line of resonance among all soldiers, especially It is the latter ... The soldiers are a very strange social group. More than 80% of the military families have at least one child who has become a soldier. Therefore, almost every soldier of the Black Dragon Knights once had relatives involved in the Holy Church. In this war, you need to use the outraged anger to describe the soldiers of the Black Dragon Knights.

Looking at Chi Aotian's cold expression, an officer with the rank of captain of the knight squadron carefully talked to the teenager: "Major General Chi, I don't know ... Is it possible to stay in the bottom of the army of your expedition in the north?"

Without waiting for Chi Aotian to answer, another squadron captain pushed away the Cavaliers squadron: "Go, go ... while going cool, who yesterday slandered the invincible heroes of the small mercenary heroes. Isn't there one of them? Now I'm here to please, all the good and bad things are told by you. Are you lacking in morality? Do you lack morality? "After that, she turned to Chi Aotian and said with a smile:" Chi Ershao, my family is Chi The oldest military officer in the first line of the family, my ancestors followed the Chi family's high ancestors to the east, and my third generation ancestor also accompanied Miss Ikeda Meng to the desert empire. I really hope to continue to have this honor, please ... "

"Come on, Lord Earl, you are more than 40, go to war? Do you think this is a three-day tour of Huayu Plain? Even if you have this kindness, you must also know that your physical strength is not good." Another year The 30-year-old strong man squeezed laterally from the side: "Second young master, I am the second place in the Black Dragon Knights' triennial military officer contest-last year, the first and the marquis formed the second-line corps, you let me go, Although not as powerful as you, but you can rest assured, all battles, I pack ... "

"General Chi, let me go. As long as you give me this opportunity, you don't have to pay me the captain's salary, just treat me as a soldier."

"Major General, let me go. I am very familiar with the terrain of the Holy Church. I will definitely take you to avoid injustice. We will kill them seven in and seven out. I will shout at Changbanpo and the river will flow back for seven days!"

"Small ... don't push it, you accept the money, let me go ..."

"Second young master, this is the mysterious treasure armor of the 20th generation of my family. After putting it on, I will specially adjust the muscles, nourish the yin and strengthen the sun, and the golden gun will not fall.

...

The soldiers of the Black Dragon Knights are now standing underneath. The soldiers have seen this, it seems that instead of going to war, they are going to travel at public expense and pick up girls at public expense.

The clever soldiers also did not leave, and a group of people looked around behind them—the majestic empire Tongyunguan theater military field has been reduced to a free market, and a lot of gold coins flew in the sky. A clever knight immediately ordered his entourage to return to the camp to pick up the tent. He will spend the night at the school ’s military field today and tomorrow, so how can he squeeze into the top 5,000?

Alas ... if ... people really know after they die, looking at the gold coins and purple gold pens scattered to Chi Aotian, General Chi Hanfeng at the spirit of heaven really does not know whether to laugh or cry. Someone sent him to heaven before his death. The three-foot high plaque did not expect that he could continue to shave three feet after death.

Chi Changyun stood with a sullen face on his face: "Quiet! Is it true that you are due to the elite troops of this empire? All the officers will retreat! The officers who participated in the Northern Expedition, I will draw up tomorrow. No noise, no! "

Chi Changyun seldom speaks with a straight face, but the officers have an extraordinary fear for this calm young man. While retreating, he secretly glances at Chi Aotian, hoping that the **** of luck can take care of himself-just , With Chi Aotian's dullness, he could receive such a complicated signal.

Chi Aotian felt quite the rest of his life after the disaster. The leather armor was almost divided into eight pieces by the enthusiastic officers. The black and white pieces on his face may not know who was caught anxiously from the outside-you know, the Black Dragon Knight The regiment is also one of the four elite of the empire. The officers are also battle-hardened. More than 20 middle and high-ranking officers join forces and may even kill the dragon. As an ordinary human being, how can Chi Aotian deal with it.

Chi Aotian and his brother walked back to the meeting room side by side, and Chi Changyun immediately sat down to draft an officer for the Northern Expedition. When the list of up to 40 officers was placed in front of Chi Aotian, Chi Aotian jumped.

The list is full of current officers in the Saint Snow Mountain defense area, from the small captain to the first captain level, and even includes the existing three large captains, as well as a complete staff team.

"Brother, I ... not this ..." It's notoriously awkward to leave the Dragon Knight's tongue. Zhiwu doesn't know what to say.

"Chi Changyun smiled honestly:" Brother, although I don't want you to go, I must make a safe passage for my father. However, since it is decided, then I will definitely not hold you back. I am very familiar with officers. These first-line officers have rich experience and can directly help you. You ca n’t control the large army without these officers. You do n’t have to worry about me, or that sentence, I am very familiar with the officers, and I know who of their deputies can replace them. Go, brother, if I lose Chi's face, not only can I not spare you, but I think my uncle will not forgive you in Tianying Ling. "

"Also, I was very strange just now. Why did you use trainee knights? If you think heavy knights are slow to move, you can ask them not to carry heavy armor. You choose trainee knights like this, most of them are children under 20 years old, The combat effectiveness is quite different from that of regular knights. So to say, a regular knight squadron is very likely to defeat two trainee knight squadrons. If you use a regular knight squadron, you can definitely beat two regular knight squadrons. " Not unfounded.

Although the Holy Church is known as an undefended country, this does not mean that the Holy Church has no combat power. The entire Holy Church has hundreds of thousands of priests. These priests, especially the high-level priests after the transfer, have quite strong mentality and Combat power, but also has the magic of self-healing. In addition, the mercenaries of the Holy Church are quite active, and there are many top mercenary groups among the thousands of mercenary regiments. In terms of number and quality, the registered mercenaries of the Holy Church are second only to the mercenary empire. And ... if the Holy Holy See collaborates with the Fanos Corps, it is conceivable that the strategic headquarters of the Fanos Corps cannot be prepared for.

In addition, although it is not clearly stated in the mouth, in fact, Chi Changyun is very doubtful about his brother ’s ability to lead troops, especially the ability of the large army to use troops. The small mercenary regiment ’s previous combat strength was at most 2000, and the main leader The head of the team, known as the Golden Brain, His Excellency Amy. Chi Aotian has never had the experience of being alone. The first expedition must go deep into the hinterland 3000 miles. The shadow of failure is definitely waiting for him at any time, and he will not be called and lingering.

Chi Aotian didn't like words, except for the only thing-the war. He groaned for a moment, with a trace of excitement on his face, and talked about it from the defense of the floating ice port.

For the first time in the ice floe battle, the small mercenary regiment had its own knight force, but because a considerable number of knights did not have full armor and standard knight spears. As a last resort, Amy took out the simplest leather armor and the most common horned bow and swordsman's sword from the city's appliance warehouse. In order to protect her strength, Amy ordered the knights not to rush into the enemy line like regular knights. In fact, there is no corresponding weaponry. However, when he finally entered the war, he did not expect to achieve an excellent attack effect. Rows of knights rushed past the enemy line, and the scattered arrows flew down like a rainstorm, making the enemy invincible, and there was no effective troops to fight against.

It is conceivable that the North Expedition's Holy Church will fight the enemy in depth. Once it has penetrated 500 miles, it will inevitably lose contact with the large supply base of Tongyunguan. Therefore, no matter how many troops you bring, once you get into a regular regular knight match, you will definitely not be able to spend it. Even if the Holy Church has no war experience, there is certainly a certainty to sacrifice 100 people to consume an enemy. Rather than doing this, it is better to follow Amy ’s practice at that time, completely focusing on high-speed mobile troops, all equipped with long-range shooting weapons, and attacking each other as long as possible without expending a conflict with the other.

In Chi Aotian's plan, all knights were not equipped with traditional knight spears, but all were changed to single-handed two-handed swords or scimitars, and the ground dragon knights were all changed to small warhammers as melee weapons. There are only two modes of warfare-all the troops desperately shot at the beginning of the war, completely destroying the enemy formation with arrow rain. Once the enemy was in a panic, the cavalry troops immediately broke into the final melee. If the enemy ’s commander is extremely effective, the subordinate nerves are thick enough, and the entire formation has not collapsed, then immediately withdraw from the war-the number of casualties per battle must be controlled below 20% compared with the enemy.

Although Chi Changyun is only 25 years old, he is also a rare and handsome man among the imperial soldiers. He has a strong sense of the rhythm of war. The more he listens to the brighter his eyes, he pats the table excitedly: "Yes, yes, if this method is used in other On the battlefield, it may not be possible to succeed, but the possibility of success in the Holy Church is very high. More than 80% of the territory of the Holy See is in the prairie, which is very conducive to knightly combat. As a pre-troop force, the vulture knights have a range far beyond that of ordinary human warriors. In this way, you always have the power to initiate and end the war. The other party can't catch unless you also find a vulture knight. To you ... If I weren't going to get my dad back home, I would like to go. What equipment do you need me to prepare for you? Say, as long as there is in the warehouse, I will send it all. "

"At least 6,000 sets of leather armor and 6,000 war horses-war horses do not include the knight's current mount. Also, 4,000 horn bows."

"Oh ... why don't you have a longbow? There are at least 8000 longbows in the armament warehouse, with an effective range of 200 meters, which is more than 50 meters farther than the horn bow."

"No, the bow feathers are specially made. The length of the shaft needs to be at least 90 cm, and the length of the arrow feathers is not less than 15 cm. It is too difficult to find. The angle bow has very low requirements for the feathers, which can be found in most cities. , You can even do it yourself. Oh ... yeah, I need 4,000 small crossbows. If there are not so many, how much can I collect? "

"What !?" Chi Changyun stood up and looked angry: "What do you want ?!" With the 500-year-old martial arts of Chimen, he was extremely abhorrent to the crossbow, if Chi Aotian could not give a satisfactory answer , Chi Changyun ...

"In the **** battle at the ice-breaking port, the Fanos Legion had already been used on a large scale in the first sneak attack ... Many soldiers of the small mercenary regiment ..." Chi Aotian guessed the brother's reaction, and there was a trace of helplessness in the corner of his mouth. .

"..." Chi Changyun was speechless. During the war, if one side took the lead in using the crossbow, it would definitely carry a huge charge. The coach may even be convicted by the kingdom's military department. Moreover, once someone uses a crossbow arrow, the other party has the right to use whatever means in the war, including even the massacre of civilians. Chi Changyun understands the harm of crossbow arrows to ordinary soldiers. Only crossbow arrows can counterbalance crossbow arrows.

Later, Chi Changyun went down to arrange the required items in person.

On the afternoon of the next day, all the members of the Wild Eagle Swordsmen Camp arrived. More than 100 teenagers stayed up all night with tears and red eyes. The teenagers were so excited to see Chi Aotian, crying and laughing, nobody said but everyone's expression was enough to express Chi Hanfeng's determination to take revenge.

There has never been a warrior who has never died in war. Looking at the young men from the ice continent who followed him for more than 3,000 miles, Chi Aotian coldly said a few words to everyone, and arranged for everyone to rest-this is Chi Aotian. The temper is well understood by the people directly under him. If they are too enthusiastic, then it is not Chi Aotian but the head of the group.

The next night, the armor made by Chi Changyun for the Black Dragon Knights came out-all the black armor was embroidered with white borders ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ even the black dragon flag flying with the wind was embroidered with a The white width of the ruler is wide, and the armor specially for the small mercenary soldiers and elf archers is mainly white.

Early in the morning on the third day, Chi Aotian and Chi Changyun came to the west of Tongyunguan City again, with half the soldiers on the school ground, dragons, trainees, knights, knights, archers, and guards. Arranged one after the other, at a glance, the shame increased a lot.

"War will kill people. In this war, fighting alone will kill more people. Willing to leave, unwilling to stay, no shame." Chi Aotian didn't have any expression on his face, said lightly, and paused For a moment, waved to signal departure.

In the winter of the magic calendar for 5 years, the soldiers who accompanied Chi Aotian were as follows: 2035 people of the Black Dragon Knights, the Dragon Knight Squadron; 2803 people of the Knights of the Heavy Knights of the Black Dragon Knights; 332 members of the Black Dragon Knights Guards; There are 195 eagle swordsman battalions; 403 hawk elf archers in the small mercenary regiment.

Together with His Excellency Chi Aotian, there are a total of 5679 people.

This expedition left a very heavy stroke in the history of the Eminol Continent. Some historians said: "Blood fills lakes and corpses fill canyons"; and other historians say: "Where the chaotic soldiers arrive, no matter the old or the weak, the dead Eight out of nine. "After the army led by Chi Aotian, many residents of Huayu Plain stopped eating pork and dog meat-too many people died, and pigs and dogs eat meat all day-eating human meat, fat one by one Drained with oil, even the eyes of a living person turned red.

This unprecedented war has even led to a head-on conflict between the three gods.

In the official history, the Black Dragon Knights' North Expedition is called: "Black Dragon Rage Expedition". In Wild History, this expedition has many names. For the sake of the reputation of Chiao Heavenly King, they are not listed one by one.
