The three feather long arrow pulled out a beautiful arc in the air and fell steadily into the high arrow tower. The heavy and sharp cluster of refined iron arrows penetrates into the thick leather armor and directly wears the mountain people''s archers on the wooden pedal. The intense pain and fear made the archer scream loudly. Another Archer climbed over and tried to break the arrow rod to save his companion, but he failed several times. Instead, he made his companion cry louder. Only then did he find that the arrow rod was made of iron fir. The hunter pulled out his knife to cut off the arrow shaft, but several roaring long arrows nailed the two together. Witnessing the tragedy of the two companions, the last archer in the arrow tower could no longer restrain his fear. He roared and rolled down the stairs of the arrow tower.
The hammer saw a figure rolling down from the arrow tower and said with a grin, "can you go up?"
Kidd watched the movement across the street carefully. This is a village built on the hillside. The village is commanding, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Behind the ten meter high iron oak fence, there are four arrow towers. On each arrow tower, three to four people hunters shoot at the mercenary regiment with a strong bow. Mountain hunters can only shoot arrows at a distance of more than 100 meters. Mercenaries 200 meters away are very safe, while the yew long bow in the hands of the monkey militia covers each arrow tower.
The long bow shoots three conical arrows with long range and great lethality. They can shoot through leather armor within 300 meters, but the long arrow flies for a long time and is difficult to hit a single moving target. In fact, if you can hit a target about 200 meters with a long bow, you can be called a sharpshooter. Kidd and hammer learned today that the elite soldiers assigned to them by Victor are the sharpshooters among the sharpshooters. Every arrow they shoot accurately falls into the arrow tower 200 meters away. The narrow space in the arrow tower limits the range of mountain people''s archers. The cluster of refined iron arrows pierces the five centimeter thick iron oak baffle and forces the people hiding behind, And was shot one by one by the arrows that followed. Now, the four arrow towers are no longer threatened.
"When Fermi and they block the back door, we can go." Kidd paused, turned around and asked, "we passed seven villages. This is the first one to confront us. Why don''t they want to trade with us?"
Along the way, the Warhammer mercenary regiment can be said to be downwind and downwater. There was no big battle except with the jackals. Those mountain scouts, without exception, were caught by the monkey militia. When the merchants took out salt, linen and arrow clan, the mountain scouts immediately took the mercenary group to the village to trade. Although most villages didn''t want mercenaries to enter the village, they gave in when they saw that the bull easily broke an hemlock. Naturally, everyone was happy. Merchants traded cheap goods for amber, honey, beeswax, herbs, animal skins and horns. Mountain people found that these merchants were more reasonable than the village heads outside. They not only got salt, armaments and crude sugar, but also learned how to deal with sweet potatoes and make hemostatic drugs. The relationship between the two sides is as good as honey and oil. Many young mountain people who are unwilling to be lonely ask to join the mercenary regiment one after another and think of wandering around the outside world. Kidd even thought that the mountain people behind him were like this until he met the stronghold in front of him.
"In the mountain forest, wild bears and wild bears meet. They either chase and flee, or avoid each other, or decide the outcome. The same is true of the mountain people. The mountain people in front of us just trade with us because we are strong and can''t eat. Now it''s the season of the earth, and the prey can only be caught by fattening. It''s the most difficult for the mountain people to change things with the outside village without mountain goods We have good things and fair deals. Can they be unhappy? "
The hammer continued, "this stockade is different. It is the largest stockade we have ever encountered. You see, we have been walking for five days, and there is no small stockade around. It was swallowed by them. Now, the whole mountain forest is their territory. There are many people and things, so there is no need to deal with us."
"They think they have strong strength. We should avoid each other like wild bears. Hey, but we are not wild bears. We don''t want to trade. There''s no need to stay. Look, there''s a bloody battle behind!"
Kidd saw the monkey militia make a gesture, so he smiled and said, "Fermi, they blocked the back door. Let''s go!"
The hammer nodded and waved to the back. The five monkeys came out and ran to the stronghold. They were very fast. In the twinkling of an eye, they came to the ditch, jumped over the 5-meter-wide ditch, and climbed the high iron oak fence in three or two times.
The mountain people leader in the camp suddenly saw the enemy appear on the fence and shouted at the messy men.
"Shoot!"
The mountain people did not expect that the enemy easily boarded the fence. When they heard the leader''s cry, they were still looking for the target at a loss, and the arrows of the monkey militia had taken the lead in shooting down. Four mountain people holding a crossbow were directly killed by sharp arrows. Only then did the mountain people react and shoot locust like arrows at the enemy on the fence, and the battle became white hot.
Two layers of iron oak fences are close together, and the top of the oak is sharpened. Ordinary people can''t stand on it, but they can''t stand the monkey militia. The monkey militia''s perception of up to 15 points has broken through the limits of mortals. Coupled with the refinement of the monkey''s Secret shape, they can swing and jump freely at the top of the fence. While avoiding the feather arrows, the monkey militia kept sending sharp arrows to the enemy''s key points, but the top of the fence was narrow after all, and the mountain hunters were numerous. After a while, each monkey militia was inserted with several feather arrows. However, the monkey militia continued to shoot arrows as usual. Such a strange scene made the mountain hunter''s scalp numb.
The strong bow made by the mountain people is enough to shoot bison, but the seemingly old leather armor on the monkey militia is specially made. The alchemy auxiliary soldiers sew hard leather armor with three layers of cow leather, and a special fine rattan soft armor is sandwiched between the cow leather. These fine rattan soft beetles are woven into fine and compact rattan beetles with tough Mountain rattan as raw materials, and then soaked in the adjusted herbal juice to make them more tough and elastic. This kind of armor was named rattan armor by Victor and has strong puncture resistance. An ordinary crossbow can only soak 3 cm of rattan armor 50 meters away, not to mention resisting the hard bow of mountain people.
The mountain people leader who was as strong as cattle soon found the problem. The feather arrows on his side had no effect on the enemy, and those enemies who were more sensitive than SM could shoot down a mountain people with each arrow. Although the mountain people''s leather armor was also covered with a layer of lock armor, the enemy''s arrows always bit the parts without armor protection like eyes. The most terrible thing is that even if they are shot in the limbs, the mountain people will fall to the ground and be difficult to move. In a short moment, more than a dozen people had fallen on his side, and his opponent was quickly approaching the rattan rope of the suspension bridge. The mountain people leader quickly shouted, "come on! Use a crossbow! Use a spear!"
As soon as the voice fell, the mountain people leader found that all the enemies raised their hands and shot arrows in his direction. The mountain people leader was shocked. He grabbed the mountain people next to him and stood in front of him, "poof, poof, poof". He saw two sharp arrows coming out from behind the dead ghost''s head, and the red blood dripping down the sharp arrow clusters. Regardless of luck, the mountain people leader who escaped from death retreated with his companion''s body, and several mountain people with shields quickly surrounded him.
Although the rattan skin armor can resist the hard bow, it can''t stop the crossbow within 50 meters or the heavy spear. If it is the Funiu militia at 17 o''clock, it won''t care about these attacks, but the spirit monkey militia has only 12 o''clock, so those mountain people who try to pick up the crossbow and spear in hand are immediately ruthlessly shot. The sharp arrow is either through the brain or through the throat. For a while, The mountain people were shot, crying and howling, and suffered heavy casualties. Only those mountain people who covered their faces with shields dropped a few spears, but they were not accurate.
A monkey militia approached the rattan rope of the drawbridge. He pulled out the refined iron short sword and waved three swords. The blue sword light was connected into one piece. Each sword was cut on the same gap, and the tough rattan rope was cut off. The heavy suspension bridge broke half at once and pulled the remaining vine straight. Seeing that the gate was about to be opened, the mountain people''s bravery and blood courage were inspired. They went forward one after another, roaring and throwing spears at the monkey militia. With one hand, the monkey militia slipped over the top of the door like a smart cat, cut off the tight rattan rope with a sword, and the suspension bridge fell to the ground.
Three Funiu militiamen rushed in along the suspension bridge, hit the mountain people''s team head-on, and hit it mercilessly with heavy hammers. These 200 pound weapons are made of refined iron. The hammer heads, 2.5 long and 40 cm in diameter, are covered with ferocious spikes. Wielded by the cattle subdued militia, the heavy hammer made a terrible howl, mixed with the sound of bone burst. The three mountain people flew out like broken sacks, broken meat flew everywhere, blood fell like rain, and the mountain people collapsed.
A moment later, the three leaders of the front and the Deputy stepped into the camp. The mountain people were rushed to the open space, the injured were carried to one side, and the bodies were stacked in another place. The hammer took a deep breath of the bloody air and asked Fermi, "are there any casualties on your side?"
"Two rash ghosts died and one was injured." Fermi said coldly.
Hammer nodded with indifference. Eight young mountain people joined the mercenary regiment. They followed Fermi and were responsible for blocking the back door. They were supposed to be the easiest task, but two died and one was injured. The mountain people are skilled in bowing and have a strong temperament, but their tactical quality is very poor. They always want to shoot arrows, but they forget that saving their lives is far more important than killing the enemy, and their opponent is not a beast. Hammer knows that seizing the opportunity to shoot prey is a habit formed by mountain people since childhood. It''s useless to say more. Only the lesson of blood can make them qualified soldiers.
Kidd came over with a crossbow and said, "17 mountain people died and 22 were injured. Three guys died miserably and were all broken! Ha ha, those rookies threw up while cleaning up."
"If three pieces are broken, more people will die! It''s the head who taught them to do so." The hammer looked back at the newcomers and the monkey militia who were cleaning the battlefield. He couldn''t help but say, "this is the result of mercy."
The monkey militia shot more enemies than the Funiu militia, but as soon as the Funiu militia shot, the mountain people knelt immediately. Tragic death can always destroy the enemy''s fighting spirit. Nelson often does so. It''s no wonder that war bear mercenaries are no longer strange. Fermi touched his head, pointed to the injured mountain people and asked, "what does the mercenary manual say about this situation?"
"It seems that the fewer people who die, the better. Those who should be saved can still be saved. That''s probably what I mean. Why don''t you call the bull and ask?" Hammer was a little uncertain. He basically didn''t remember the regulations in the mercenary manual.
After the bull came over, he said flatly: "Article 3 of the mercenary manual, if you encounter a village that refuses to trade, don''t kill for the purpose, break it first, kill the leader and his lineage, and then force them to trade, treat the wounded as much as possible, teach the technology of planting potato, and can''t teach the formula of medicine, drive away the mountain people, burn the village, and mark the red area on the map."
"Just do it! Clean up and call Vicky and them." The hammer clapped his hands and shouted.
"Wait!" Kidd handed the crossbow to the hammer and said, "something''s wrong."
When the hammer took the crossbow, his face suddenly changed. Fermi went to the wounded, grabbed a mountain man who was still paralyzed, carefully checked his lock armor, and then checked the armor of other wounded people.
"Half body lock armor with leather armor, the standard equipment of elite soldiers, and the badge have been worn off. I''m afraid we''re in big trouble!" Fermi said with a heavy look.
The hammer strode to the prisoner. Sen asked coldly, "who is the head?"
The mountain people leader stood up, squinted at the hammer and said disdainfully, "I! You are the trainee Knight of that family? I am Baron Murphy''s man. We refuse to trade with you because it belongs to Baron Murphy...", The hammer hit the mountain leader in the stomach, and the mountain leader immediately bent into shrimps. Then he got a heavy blow on his head and fell to the ground. The hammer stepped on the head of the mountain leader. Just as they were ready to ask questions, Fermi and Kidd came over.
"Stop talking nonsense! There are still some mountain hunters hunting outside. The longer it takes, the more dangerous we will be! I only remember the first article in the mercenary manual, haven''t you forgotten?" Fermi said coldly.
Mercenary manual Article 1: self preservation is the first priority, and the head makes a decision at the moment! The hammer looked up at the cold eyes of the two companions. Their meaning was very clear. If they offended the Lord, they must kill and run away!
More than 200 frightened mountain people crowded together, including men and women, old and young. The hammer''s eyes flickered.
"Uncle, give me a knife and let me kill Moore. I''d like to tell you everything about him." A tall boy stood out from among the prisoners.
"Why?"
"Moore took people and annexed our village and killed my father."
"What''s your name?" Asked the hammer.
"Rogers."
