Chapter 574 Sweeping
August 3, early morning.

The sentry rider returned to report that a group of about two hundred soldiers appeared in the west.

Jiang Yuan put away the smoked horse meat jerky. After yesterday, fifty-four goatmen joined the team, with the leader as the mount. He had publicly stated that he allowed escape, but the price for being discovered was death.

The goatman leader cringed and leaned down so that his master could sit on him. His face, which was close to a human, was covered with purple and red bruises, and even the thick fur was completely gone.

The team immediately moved west.

Sensing the movement, the defeated soldiers assumed a combat posture. In the first battle in the north, the Royal Army was almost wiped out. At this moment, there were a large number of stragglers struggling to survive in various places.

Jiang Yuan drew his one-handed green sword and moved forward. Upon seeing this, the team launched a charge. For these guys whose confidence was shattered, only a tough stance could make them obey.

Among the broken troops, sparse arrows flew, mixed with a fireball the size of a human head. The magician troops suffered the first round of attacks and suffered heavy losses, so they had no choice but to flee.

A strong wind suddenly surged, and the light blue storm wiped out the incoming long-range attacks. The cavalry team plunged into the loose battle formation, and after one charge, more than thirty people were killed.

Surrender and escape happened at the same time. The cavalry team dispersed to arrest. Jiang Yuan killed those guys who had run away in turn. He didn't care who died and who lived. Anyway, no one was irreplaceable.

The number of people who gathered up the broken troops reached more than 19, and the leader was a middle-aged magician. His overall level was the same as that of the cavalry captain, which was LV.

"The goatmen who carry the equipment are assigned to them, and the rest follow the team on foot. You will be the infantry leader from now on."

The middle-aged magician's face was blank, and the grass clippings that had just been lowered to the ground were still in the corner of his mouth. However, someone did not intend to communicate carefully and immediately ordered the team to move forward.

That night, twenty-four broken soldiers conspired to escape. After leaving the camp, someone named them and shot them one by one.

On March 3, the team set off.

The team passed by a village that had been occupied by goats and stone-eating apes. Rocks of different shapes were mixed with mud and water to build earthen walls. The total number was about five hundred.

Dozens of exploding arrows fell from the sky, igniting the thatched houses and firewood in the village. The Elf King Wind Son's ability released a storm, and a tornado of flames rose from the plains.

The demihumans hurriedly fled from inside and ran into the cavalry team that had been waiting for a long time.

The stone-eating apes were all killed and their skins were used as supplies. The goatman leader was surprised to find that he had become the leader of three hundred group members.

At the same time, the number of cavalry also reached 250, and the simple leather armor on the stone-eating apes was allocated.

Two hours later, a group of broken troops arrived after receiving the news, numbering about four hundred. They were led by the second son of a baron, hoping that the cavalry could join them.

From a distance of nearly a kilometer, Jiang Yuan used the ability of the Son of the Wind to form a substance-like elemental arrow, and killed the second son of the baron.

The cavalry team launched a charge, and the four soldiers gathered in the team prepared to take the opportunity to escape. As a result, the cavalry captain quickly caught up and hacked these guys to death. He already understood someone's slightly lazy course of action. If you don't obey, you will die, if you obey, you will die. Can survive with this group.

Jiang Yuan took the lead, killing the second son's guards with his sword, and cut in half the confidants around him with a slash that was more than ten meters long.

Another victory. The initial hundred-man cavalry was already quite brave, but this time sporadic deaths occurred on their own side. A total of more than fifty people were killed on both sides. After the capture, the team expanded to 600 people, including 300 cavalry.

The village was looted, and clothes, food, and iron tools were all taken away, as well as some gold and silver.

At dinner time, everyone had a rare meal. Jiang Yuan immediately announced a complete set of marching disciplines, just like when he first came into contact with the army a long time ago.

By noon of the next day alone, two soldiers were beaten to death for making noise at night, three died for excreting outside the designated place, and those who left the camp privately at night were beheaded.

Seventeen people escaped during the night, all of whom were killed by the cavalry captain.

3 month 14 day.

The team encountered a regular force, a middle-aged baron who was out looking for his heir.

The northern region has fallen, and the troops in hand are the confidence. What's more, according to the new bill issued by the second prince, as long as you occupy and hold the relevant area, you can become a local lord. The northern marquis and his nobles suffered a lot, leaving a large area of ​​land vacant.

Jiang Yuan took the lead in shooting the middle-aged baron, and a cavalry force of 300 people rushed straight into the center. These were all territorial soldiers brought by the baron. They had a strong sense of belonging and there was no need to stay.

A quarter of the energy in the body was released, and the strong wind and the sword energy of dawn mixed into a tornado with great cutting ability and roared forward. Nearly a hundred elites in the formation died, and a ring of slashes spread out like shattered ripples. , completely tearing the "wound" that appeared.

Three hundred cavalry swarmed in, followed closely by the infantry. The middle-aged man successively performed the most commonly used fireball technique under the protection of the queue, accompanied by two relatively young magicians.

Slashing, thrusting, and vertical slashing, the one-handed sword was not suitable for battle formations, so Jiang Yuan attached Dawn Sword Qi and Feng Liu to it, extending it to three meters.

The huge blue wheel kept flashing, and before it could be completely penetrated, the Baron's troops fled.

A set of standardized procedures were quickly implemented to capture, gather, break up and reorganize. The cavalry captain studied these details carefully. The current size of the team has exceeded one thousand and three people.

"From this battle onwards, a reward and punishment system will be implemented. The officer level will be based on the kingdom. You will be an officer according to the number of cavalry troops. I will inform the earl in the future."

The cavalry captain was speechless. His Excellency had a natural sense of brotherly loyalty and did not take the count seriously at all.

"Sir, a goatman force has appeared in the west. It seems to be a large number. It should be heading towards our enemy." The sentry returned and reported that the northern area is now a mess. The main force of the Kingdom's army is powerless except to surround the northern city. Fighting again has led to small-scale battles becoming mainstream and occurring frequently every day.

"Then go ahead."

"My lord, would you like to repair for a while?" the cavalry captain said hesitantly. The number of troops determines his official position. He cherishes his subordinates very much at the moment. He might be able to occupy a seat in the meeting hall when he returns and become a high-ranking official in the earldom.

"Get in line and don't question any of my decisions in the future."

"Yes, my lord"

The team started again, and in the midst of chaos, this force grew rapidly. The victorious posture and the complete reward and punishment system maintained the basic order to the maximum extent. Considering the material problem, it was very important to determine the supply and repair bases before arriving at the combat front line. important.
