Tang Qi Tan

After crossing the large brick battlements, Jiang Tian immediately had a face-to-face encounter with an armed guard who was about to poke his head; and the next moment, he quickly grabbed the opponent's face and killed the guard who was close at hand. Exclaimed, and then swung it down the city wall with a little force.

After a short exclamation and a dull crash, everything returned to calm, and Jiang Tian also landed lightly in the battlement.It was the sound of footsteps nailing iron leather boots, approaching quickly from not far away again, and at the same time someone asked: "Sous, you're running around alone again."

The next moment, a four-member team wearing a half body ring and a nose helmet arrived, but the battlement where Jiang Tian was located was empty.Just as they were facing each other, Jiang Tian suddenly emerged from the inner side of the city wall, grabbed a person's calf and dragged him to the ground.

When the thunder was too fast to cover his ears, he swung down another soldier with a small horn in his waist; then he pressed the other man's head and face fiercely without any time, and smashed against the battlement in one go; Red and white colors; the last person can pull out a military straight sword.

It's just that before he had time to put on a stance to stab, he was hit head-on in the forehead by Jiang Tian who took off his helmet with his backhand, and immediately rolled his eyes and missed the thrust; His neck was bent 90 degrees, and he fell to the ground silently.

At this time, Jiang Tian squatted down and briefly checked the objects carried by the corpses, only to find that a red salmon was embroidered with silk thread on the coat vests of these soldiers.In his memory, this seemed to be the exclusive mark of one of the famous mercenary groups in the southern region.

Of course, according to some unspoken rules of the kingdom, there is a high probability that they are the private soldiers of a certain powerful noble or important figure.Due to the long-term suppression of the kingdom, the number of knights, retinues, and entourages of these powerful local factions with territories is limited.

Therefore, some people will find ways to use the name of certain mercenary groups that exist overseas to entrust the excessive armed forces they have privately raised in them; they usually act like ordinary mercenary groups and accept various military services. Some of them were secretly recalled from time to time.

In the political struggle of the kingdom, strengthen your own defense force, or participate in the assassination of political opponents, disguise yourself as thieves, horse bandits, bandits, etc., and create sneak attacks and looting activities.It has also become one of the driving forces behind the turmoil of regime change in the capital over the years.

Therefore, in a sense, these mercenary regiments, each with its own backing and background, and tempered by long-term overseas military missions, are not much inferior to the Kingdom's standing army in terms of equipment training; even in some respects, they are even better than the southern army. These are the formations of troops that have not fought in war for many years.

After a while, Jiang Tian threw the touched corpses out of the city again; through a guide rope, he dragged the tied rope ladders up from under the wall one after another, and tied them up and fixed them inside the battlement; Only wearing a sockeye vest and half-body locks, he continued to walk forward.

In the following time, with the faint screams resounding from the wall, and the human body constantly falling down.Jiang Tian, ​​who was sneaking in disguise, had a military straight sword in one hand and a hook-edged ax in the other; like chopping melons and vegetables, he killed all the patrols and armed guards encountered on this city wall.

Until he arrived, near the only main entrance of the castle of Polarare; he was also able to see clearly the approximate interior space of the monastery/castle.But it was far wider than he had imagined.In other words, the castle itself is composed of a small section of valley cut off by the wall.

Therefore, on the gentle hilltop with the back against it, not only a large stream of spring water flows down in several branches, converging into a pool with a radius of hundreds of feet; Orchards, vegetable beds, and some fences and sheds for livestock;
Just like this, it has been ups and downs, extending to the inner side of the city wall.On the slope beside the pool, there stands the main building of the original monastery; as well as the brick wing buildings, round towers and watchtowers, wooden warehouses, dormitories and large kitchens, etc., which were successively added.

In front of the monastery, there is a large spacious courtyard surrounded by brick walls.In addition to flowers, the nursery in the courtyard is also planted with suspected herbs, spices and other crops.During the period, there are also some patterned colonnades, large and small spring pools, and altars.

It's just that most of these scenes that were supposed to be beautiful and peaceful were ruined by people.The flowers and crops in the nursery are not only withered due to lack of care, but also trampled to pieces.On the pillars and the altar, there are all black marks from barbecues, and the spring pool has also been polluted.

All kinds of garbage and excrement are scattered all over the courtyard, attracting swarms of mosquitoes and flies.And near the outer wall of the monastery, those reliefs full of religious stories and mythological connotations were also pitted by the man-made bridge, and at least dozens of dried corpses were hung up.

Judging from the texture of the brown robe and sleeves of the barefoot corpse, it is obvious that it is the former master of the practice here-the monks and monks, as well as the lay believers who followed them to practice.As the culprit of all this, most of the members of the red salmon mercenary group disappeared without a trace.

I don't know if they are extremely lax or have not woken up; at the moment at the main gate of the castle, there are only a few guards leaning against the shadows on the wall, yawning every now and then.But this also facilitates Jiang Tian's further actions.He just walked around the city gate and came to the other end after a little thought.

After a while, Jiang Tian, ​​who had to change his outfit because of too much blood stains, returned to the inside of the main gate of the castle.More than 20 guards and patrolling soldiers on the wall at the other end; also turned into mutilated corpses, or rotten meat that fell between the mountains and forests.

When he walked up to the gatehouse of the castle along the outer steps; a sergeant with a hatchet and an iron leaf neck guard more than other soldiers suddenly stopped Jiang Tian with a certain accent of Italian dialect. "Who is your sergeant major, the third unit shouldn't be stationed at the gate today..."

The next moment, the straight sword that pierced his mouth was thrown head-on, and his questioning came to an abrupt end.However, the change at this moment alarmed several other soldiers hiding in the corner; while Jiang Tian picked up the ax and hammer, someone also hissed and shouted: "Enemy attack..." "Prepare for war..."

In an instant, as if a hornet's nest had been knocked over, suddenly from the left and right exits above the city gate, many soldiers in armor and robes rushed out with noisy voices.I saw them screaming with ferocious faces, outflanking and approaching Jiang Tian who was alone...

However, the next moment, they stared at Jiang Tian in a daze, and suddenly jumped inward, flying into the courtyard above the city gate.Then, the mercenaries on the top of the city screamed and were pierced by the arrows fired from a distance, but the soldiers from the other side of the city came to support them.

And in the space below the courtyard, there are densely packed mercenaries standing or lying on the ground, most of them are disheveled or bare-chested; and among them are a dozen or so unkempt and filthy women. ;Like a dead body, spread out on the ground.

They just stared dumbfounded, descending from the sky and stepping on the Jiangpan who was struggling to die with his companion; then, there was a burst of clamor and anger, and they surrounded him.There was another intense muffled blow and screams, and people flew out on their backs.

Finally, half of the mercenaries who fell to the ground finally retreated amidst the shouts from the rear; Jiang Tian, ​​who was standing on a pile of staggered human flesh pads, was exposed; and then there was a man with thick hair like a beast, wearing plate chain armor and a mask The tall dual-wielding swordsman in the horn helmet stepped forward.

In an instant, he swung the Germanic sword that was too tall for a person, and slashed through the air like a whirling hurricane, and slashed at the Jiangpan on the pile of people.In an instant, blood and flesh flew across and splashed like rain, staining the heads and faces of the mercenaries who were watching the battle.However, there was no one among the stumps and broken bodies.

This great swordsman with heavy armor and dual wielding was about to say something boastful; he heard the mercenaries behind him screaming in shock.The next moment, a hand suddenly pressed against his face out of thin air, also blocking the view of the horn-covered helmet; then the door suddenly suffered a sharp pain, and he lost consciousness.

I saw that the nose guard and face pocket on the face of this heavy armored swordsman were almost deeply sunken; he just fell on his back without making a sound; He hooked it up with his feet, and then held it up with one hand and danced a few sword flowers: "Next, it's my turn again..."

Half a sound later, following the flashing signal on the top of the castle wall, hordes of soldiers from the First Guerrilla Regiment of the Southern Freedom Army jumped up one after another from under the embankment, and rushed across the zigzag mountain road in one go; Obstacles rushed to the gate of the castle, but they couldn't help but stop.

Because, with the pungent smell of blood rushing towards the face, large streams of blood were continuously flowing out from the gap under the door.Then, there was a bang and a tooth-piercing pushing sound; the gate of the castle opened from the inside out, revealing a figure in the pile of corpses leaning on a sword.

"By the way, why are you moving so slowly? You told me to wait for a while..."

"Sir..." The next moment, these soldiers half-kneeled on the ground without hesitation, and saluted the figure respectfully and in unison.At this time, someone in the main building of the monastery reacted in panic, rushing out from the main entrance of the chapel with weapons.

However, after following the commanding heights inside the city gate that occupied a small castle, the second lieutenant Rafael of the commando also commanded his subordinates, and used the condescending firecrackers and crossbows to shoot him down, knock them down, and drive them back again. .
