Vol 2 Chapter 56: Night battle (middle)

Uliu's sudden shot smashed everyone's luck.
The people outside the farm did not expect to be suddenly attacked, and many of the people who were originally holding the people who just wanted to push back the other's mind were also completely shot by this shot.
Even Elliott was taken aback by the sudden change. He had always froze on his relaxed and comfortable face. Looking at Alexander ’s expression, it seemed as if he suddenly found that he had swallowed a gecko.
"This man is crazy." The first thing that flashed in Elliott's mind was the habit formed over the years and made him as ingrained as Burley, except that it was a war with pagans. Fighting against each other completely is stupid. The war between nobles should be appropriate and restrained. Even if anyone is too cruel to the enemy, they may be condemned by others.
So what Elliot knows is not a war, it is a show that both sides show their strength. They use a variety of strict formations, majestic flags, and bright and beautiful clothes for the soldiers to the opponents. Swear their determination and courage, and the criterion for their victory is who finally chose to escape because they lost courage, instead of being directly killed on the battlefield.
At least most wars are like this, and everyone seems willing to obey such game-like rules of war.
Even when one battle is over and another battle has not yet begun, the nobles of the two sides who were confrontation may find time to find a place to get together for two drinks, or discuss the current big cities in Milan, Milan or Bologna. There is a certain trendy art that is popular in here, this is the war of the Italians, elegant and restrained.
But now, a guy like a beast coming out of the jungle suddenly destroyed all this!
I do n’t know why, Elliott has the illusion that the shot that just seemed to be fired may completely break the kind of elegant and modest war before, but it is also full of warm and protracted wars, one for some people. The good days of the "Golden Age" may be gone forever.
Elliott's thoughts only flashed quickly in his head, and he immediately looked outside.
The hapless ghost who was hit was not dead. Obviously, he was wounded on the face. He held his face in his hands and fell on the ground. The screaming made the people on both sides secretly startled.
Those who had escaped a long distance finally stopped, and then two people turned around and came back. They first dismounted from the distance, and then slowly raised their hands to the person.
Everyone looked at Alexander involuntarily, and then looked back at Uliu, who had reinstalled the musket on the roof.
The Moors put their muskets on their shoulders. In fact, the first attack was a fluke for him. He did n’t even expect to actually hit any of those people. Now he looks at the two slowly approaching The enemy, Uliu also licked his lips nervously, and then tried to put the gun more smoothly.
For Uliu, the terrible experiences he had experienced since childhood made him have a completely different understanding of the word benevolence, and he did not even know what kindness is to the enemy.
"You won't let the Moor shoot those two people, it's too cruel and too mean!" Elliott couldn't help saying to Alexander "This is not what the nobleman can do, or maybe you simply don't Deserve to be a noble. "
Alexander did not look at Elliott, his eyes were just staring at the person in the open space outside who was lifting his heart and bending halfway towards the wounded guy, and then he raised his hand and looked at the room behind him with everyone's attention Swinged the top.
"At least you did it right this time." Elliott exhaled, and somehow he looked at the young man after the shot, but he couldn't care less.
"I do n’t want to shoot because I have to take care of the injured. They have to send at least two people, so their manpower is reduced by three." Alexander looked at Elliott and grabbed the sword beside him. From now on, when it is really difficult, they already know our determination, and then it depends on how much they can pay for this farm. "
As Alexander said, the "tax collector" faces a very difficult choice.
Although some places in Cosenza were unsatisfactory in the past, the tax collector, who was generally smooth, did not expect to be hit by this small farm, and even more unexpectedly, this accident was a baffling blow!
It was not claimed that there was no negotiation, and even the other party did not know who. Someone on his side was seriously wounded and bloodied. This made the tax collector even feel that he was fighting a group of barbarians.
The situation of the man who was robbed of the adventure was also not very good, watching him be beaten with a face full of flesh and blood, and a tyranny like a storm that could break out at any time on the tax collector's face.
"Prepare to attack." He finally gave the order, at this time he already understood that the farm was not only occupied by the enemy, but the other party shot him to tell him that there was no compromise and negotiation.
This made the tax collector uncomfortable, but there was no way out. The duke's coveting of the Agri River Plain was clearer than anyone else's, so he also knew more about what it meant to him in case of failure.
In the night, the originally gathered crowd began to disperse. These formerly cavalry cavalry had to dismount and hike, and some of them took off their armor for convenience and flexibility. The spear and sword in their hands flashed under the moonlight Hanguang, although knowing that the other party had unexpectedly possessed firearms, these soldiers still approached slowly and methodically.
"Let me see how many skills you have," the tax collector whispered. He didn't know how many people were in the farm, but he shouldn't have too many thoughts. This idea reassured him of "offense!"
A cry rang out, and the tax collector ’s men suddenly ran forward like a frightened rabbit. Even in a ball-like war, there will be brutal killings and casualties. These well-trained soldiers know what is their best. horrifying.
Musket! Only muskets are their biggest threat, and as long as they can rush in front of each other, they believe that temporarily armed villagers will throw away their weapons and turn to escape.
The tax collector ’s guess was good. When the first offensive cries sounded, some villagers were so scared that they threw away their pitchforks and ran away. This immediately caused a series of reactions. The villagers who had been panicked When someone ran away, they immediately threw away their weapons and fled to the village!
"Don't run!" Carlo yelled. He grabbed a person and yelled him back, while shooting an arrow aimlessly with the hard crossbow in the other hand. "Can I still run away at this time?" ! Guard the village! "
"Shoot!" Alexander's shout also sounded at this moment.
The roar of the musket exploded in everyone's ears when the first enemy climbed the fence.
No one fell and no one screamed, Uliu shot this shot!
But it was worth it enough. The first person who climbed the fence couldn't help but stiffen his body. He instinctively thought that the musket was shot at him, but it was too late when he noticed that he was not injured.
The machete appeared almost suddenly in front of the man's eyes, so that he hadn't felt any pain. The man had been cut from the fence with a knife.
This unexpected knife came from Burleigh. He did not stay after cutting down the enemy, but roared and continued to charge at another enemy who tried to cross the fence.
Carlo looked at the scene in horror. He often hunted, and also accepted the call of the lord to go to the battlefield, but he was the first time he saw such a bloody.
There is no chance of confrontation, only direct and merciless slaughter!
Then he understood what he should do, there is no way out!
Carlo raised the hard crossbow in his hand and shot an arrow at the enemy closest to him. Then he shouted and pulled out the knife regardless of whether it was shot or not.
The knife was used by the defender when he was hunting. The hunters used the crossbows or traps to deal with the beasts. Carlo even remembered that the old hunter told him that if a hunter wants to use his knife to deal with prey, it means He has failed.
But now Carlo had to wield the knife in his hand, so that when he did not cut the blade sharply on the enemy, the feeling of cutting the flesh and bone suddenly made him feel no different from killing the dying prey.
The splattered plasma did not allow Carlo to escape, but aroused his greater madness. After chopping down an enemy from the fence, he waved his blood-stained machete towards the other enemy, he The look was so horrible that the opponent had to jump from the fence that had already climbed because of the panic.
Elliott knew he was fooled.
He understood that all this was a Sicilian conspiracy, and now the only thing he could do was either fight or run away.
He was not willing to fight, but escaped ...
Looking at the enemies who had crossed the fence and rushed towards him, Elliott raised his sword helplessly. It is not uncommon for a nobleman who has not publicly declared his identity to be killed in this place, especially now that both sides have been completely lost. With control, killing the other party has become the only way to protect yourself.
Although someone fled, the battle erupted in front of the fence in an instant.
Alexander stood behind the carriage in front of the wooden gate. When the first enemy jumped on the towering haystack of the carriage, he just instinctively stepped back slightly, and then he watched the man fall on the foot Then, a series of screams came from the high carriage of the carriage.
He could guess the miserable situation of the person who fell inside. It should be that the scary screams would only be made if a few pitchforks were set up directly through the body.
Alexander didn't quite understand how to use his sword, but he knew how to use everything he could use.
There was another shot. This time, Uliu did not disappoint. An enemy who had hit the wooden fence fell to the ground, but the gap in the hole behind him was also seen by everyone because of this gun!
"Rush in!"
"Block there!"
The tax collector and Burelli almost roared on both sides of the fence at the same time, and the people on both sides rushed into the gap involuntarily, but the tax collectors were obviously more trained, and several of them quickly took the spear The spear is flat, and before the villagers rush over, the sharp edge of the spear has blocked the gap.
"It's over." Elliott blurted out in a desperate voice. He knew that the success or failure of these people at this time was also related to his own destiny and even his life. So when the gap was taken, his heart sank down.
In the face of the sparse, yet formed spear wall, the villagers who only supported by courage were frightened and frightened.
"Surrender, you have lost!" The tax collector stood behind the line and announced loudly that although the battle was not long, it had been too long for him.
Although it is unclear where the Countess of Cosenza has gone, he has the feeling that the Countess will not give up so easily, after all, as long as you think about the performance of the young lady on the volcanic pass, you can guess her It is different from other noble ladies.
So he had to solve the problems of the farms in the Agri River as soon as possible, but now he was blocked by such a group of stupid farmers, which made him annoyed and worried. So he decided to solve these unexpected changes as soon as possible.
"not yet."
A sound that sounded impressive to the tax collector because of the special tone suddenly came from behind the farmers. Just as the tax collector tried to find the man following the voice, a burning torch suddenly passed all the people and threw them to the confrontation. On the open ground.
The tax collector only had time to follow the bright track and see the torch fall on the haystack with the smell of beast oil on the ground, and then a long wall of fire immediately set up between them!
The frontmost soldier was suddenly wrapped in a sudden flame. They threw their spears back in horror, and then rolled to the ground desperately, tumbling.
"Retreat! Go back to the village!" Alexander ordered the villagers to see Elliot, who was still staring at the fire wall, and slapped him firmly on the shoulder. "We will go back."
"Are you ready?" Elliott asked while running. "Are you going to fight Frederick's people?"
"It was they who wanted to fight me ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Alexander followed Uliu who jumped off the roof to a small room. This is the escape route he had long thought of. The most important thing is here. It is a small prayer hall on this farm.
Burelli hesitated when entering the prayer hall, but looked back to see if the fire behind him walked in.
"We are here to stay," Alexander told Uliu to occupy the window before he said to the others, seeing those people nervous and more terrified, he walked over and pressed Carol ’s shoulder. "You Well done, I promise that your remuneration will now be doubled. I promise you as long as you insist on the arrival of the Countess, each of you can have a piece of your own land, you are no longer a farmer on the farm, you can do your own land the host."
land!
Everyone's eyes became shiny! ,
Become a self-cultivator who owns his own land. This is the desire of these farm servants who are eager to achieve for life, but it is difficult to realize. Now there is such an opportunity!
"How do you have the right to say this kind of thing." Bereri said angrily, but his next words were interrupted by Alexander.
"Luosha promised that she would pay anything if she kept the farm," Alexander looked at Burelli. "Don't forget that your sister is also named Cosenza."
Bereri's face turned red, and he was about to say something more. He kept staring at the outside and suddenly shouted, "They are coming!"
Everyone couldn't help but shake their hearts, they all rushed to the wall, and some people looked nervously through the doors and windows.
Amidst the odor and smoke, the tax collector took his people out slowly. They stopped not far from the prayer hall but were safe enough.
"It seems that this night will be long." Looking at the enemy outside, Alexander murmured to himself.
