"Assemble the soldiers!" Murphy hears speech a Leng, immediately to the general guard''s attendant behind sink a voice way.
The low trumpet sounded and spread all over the town.
The Greek infantry patrolling in the barracks and near the port quickly gathered together after hearing the sound of the horn, and gathered near the gate of the town under the orders of the captain and the flagman.
In order to deal with emergencies, the territory has a set of exclusive Herald methods.
The lower commander of the Greek infantry was the captain and the flagman. Generally, the captain died in battle, and the flagman took over the post. The flagman died in battle, and the captain held the flag.
The soldiers gathered in a neat square at the gate of the town, excluding the two full-fledged Greek infantry that general riodary had escorted privet to the Centaur trade, and the one that Lady Elizabeth had taken that day. At present, there are five full-scale Greek infantry squadrons, Murphy''s general guard and 11 heavy armed Spartan fanatics in the territory, with a total of about 450 people.
The construction of the wooden wall is almost finished.
Murphy doesn''t worry about not being able to defend the territory, considering that he will soon be able to recruit the Crete archers.
After the troops had assembled, Murphy ordered the Knights of the general''s guard to go out to investigate the enemy.
But at this time, a fast horse came from a distance.
"Your Excellency, Lady Elizabeth is back." The rider was Marquis Elizabeth''s valet, the middle-aged knight, who was bloodstained and seemed to be injured.
Riding to Murphy''s front, the middle-aged Knight turned over and jumped down, and said in a hurry: "madam, we have gathered the scattered soldiers. They are coming back now. There are jackals in the rear. The number is about 3000
Scattered soldiers?
Murphy was stunned by the words! And then I immediately responded.
Have you contacted the scattered soldiers? Because they were reorganized, marquis Elizabeth rushed to meet them?
Mephistone understood the whole story.
At the beginning, marquis Elizabeth''s territory was captured by jackals. Because of the rapid retreat, a large number of soldiers should have escaped. These scattered soldiers were later integrated and eventually contacted Mrs. Elizabeth, who was rescued by Murphy. The territory was captured, not only Lady Elizabeth lost everything, those soldiers and knights also lost land, they will have nothing!
These scattered soldiers should have been gathered together by the reaction of Knight class.
Defeat like a mountain!
When the initial collapse, the reaction of the Knights also began to play their own military skills, began to reorganize the disabled, and look for the nominal Commander - Marquis Elizabeth!
No one was willing to have nothing. The Knights reorganized their troops in the rear, ready to take back the territory.
"The fifth formation stays. The others follow me Murphy did not hesitate to leave the fifth formation of Greek infantry in the town, and immediately decided to take other soldiers to rescue Marquis Elizabeth.
Murphy, like a whip, is ready to go.
But this time a group of people arrived at his side.
"Your Lord, please let us go together." Uthors, the robust leader of the puccians, came to Murphy''s side. This strong soldier recovered his fighting power in a short day under the powerful therapeutic effect of holy water. He savagely pulled off the bandage on his back and came to Murphy with the remaining 40 or so soldiers with combat power.
The language of the puccians is not the same as the common language of the human city-state. Their language is slightly different in syllable pronunciation, similar to the local dialect with a little previous life.
Take them with you?
Murphy hesitated as he looked at the mercenaries who had gathered in front of him and volunteered.
"Your wounds?" Murphy asked.
Uthors looked around. Then he came to a stone the size of a millstone. He hugged it with both hands and roared, "get up!"
Then he picked up the stone, which weighed two or three hundred jin.
Putting the stone down, uthors looked at Murphy, lowered his head slightly and said, "you are a friend of the puccians."
Although the puccians have strong fighting capacity, their status in the human city-state is not high. In the southern plain, the population of the barbarians is only over 100000, accounting for only one twentieth of the total population. They lived in the jungle area on the edge of the southern plain and were called "barbarians" by other people in the city-state. This is a very common phenomenon, just like the previous generations of urban people generally looked down on rural people.
There is no barbarian seat in the aristocratic Council.
More often, they serve as mercenaries or cannon fodder for human city states.
Uthors symbolizes ferocity and cruelty in the barbarian language, but it does not mean that he is a reckless warrior, which can be seen from his ability to find the right time to counter attack and fight for the back charge for Murphy.
In fact, what he is doing now is not so much repaying his kindness as making friends with Murphy.
Because of the effect of holy water, he suspected that there was a god standing behind Murphy! And a human God! Because in the human city-state, the alien gods do not care for the human believers. What human beings can get from alien gods is very little! Uthors believed that these Greeks from the other side of the sea should have their own gods!
A real God!
If it is true, then the Lord is worthy of his deliberate friendship.
"Let''s go!"
Murphy nodded and said nothing more. The general''s guard took the lead in riding out, while the Greek infantry quickly followed.
Evoke the auxiliary system of total war in the brain. Sure enough, on the map that has been explored about 30 miles away from the town, there is an unknown number of army icons moving forward, while about five miles behind them, there is a group of jackal army hanging tightly, the number is unknown.
The Greek infantry stretched out and sped forward, while the cavalry spread out.
Although Murphy has a strategic map of the total war support system, it''s not known to the soldiers.
After the army set out, the cavalry consciously shouldered the role of investigation.
A knight on a fast horse was sent by Murphy to inform Mrs. Elizabeth of his arrival.
They marched about ten miles and stopped on a high slope to the east of the territory. The terrain here is good, with a mound on the side and a river about five meters wide on the other side.
"The whole army in formation!" Murphy stood in front of the battle and gave orders in a deep voice.
The Greek infantry spread out, pulled down a long line under the command of the herald, raised their long guns, and laid a defense line about 150 meters long.
The rapid march is very physical.
As a commander who has gone through several wars, Murphy would not have made such a low-level mistake.
About five miles away from Mrs. Elizabeth, Murphy ordered the soldiers to stop and set up a defense line. There were more than ten minutes between the arrival of Lady Elizabeth and the follow-up of the jackals, which was enough time for the soldiers to rest and recover.
If the army has been rushing to rescue Mrs. Elizabeth, I''m afraid the final result will be just like them.
Because the 15 mile long trot has consumed a lot of physical strength of the soldiers.
In the age of cold weapons, this is already a fatal mistake!
About ten minutes later, the army came out in the distance. The front runners were cavalry, which rolled up the dust.
Murphy stood on the high slope and looked far away, and found that the scattered soldiers were not so embarrassed, and the formation was not completely chaotic. This made Murphy take a long breath and feel a little relieved. What he was most afraid of was that the remnant soldiers brought back by Mrs. Elizabeth had been scared out of their wits and only knew how to escape. In that case, Murphy would have to spread out the formation and let them pass first.
This is definitely not a good thing!
However, it seems that these people still have a little fighting capacity.
In the next battle, it should play some role.
