will of the planet

Chapter 35: Chapter 51
The sound of horseshoes in the distance told Ella the answer. Teams of cavalrymen came to kill them on the flanks. It was roughly estimated that the number of them was no less than 1.

How could there be a cavalry in this remote place!
I didn't have time to think about it. In a cold weapon war, infantry were naturally afraid of cavalry, not to mention that this cavalry was still charging.

Since there is no reserve team, at most less than a hundred infantry can be pulled up to resist the menacing cavalry. It is no different to expose the flanks to the cavalry.

I saw the cavalry unit rushing up against the swords and guns of the enemy infantry. Although there were some losses, the enemy's formation was directly dispersed.

It was even more difficult for the scattered infantry to pose a threat to the cavalry, which resulted in a one-sided massacre of the cavalry, and signs of defeat appeared in the crusade army. If this continues, it is possible for these soldiers to be killed.

The morale of the soldiers of the Crusade Army suddenly dropped to the bottom, and many of them saw that the situation was not right, so they all retreated in unison.

They have already realized that this group of rebels is extremely difficult to deal with, and they expect to stay here to die, so it is better to withdraw first.

Lin Xiao has already killed so many people, and he is already a deadly enemy with the other party, how could he let these people go.

"Give me all back!"

Lin Xiao immediately released the state of suspended animation, and the generals of the crusade army who had just taken a few steps stood in place together with their soldiers, and walked back involuntarily.

Of course, Lin Xiao didn't dare to keep pretending to be dead, and immediately resumed the state of suspended animation, and the crusaders recovered.

Although they didn't know what happened just now, they also knew that there was something in Huangsha Town that attracted them.

Now is not the time to think about these things, a little dull, they quickly retreated.

But Lin Xiao's procrastination just now was not useless. Ella, who was about to escape on horseback just now, fell off the horse, otherwise it was really possible for him to escape.

Seeing that she fell into the encirclement, Ella's face was very ugly, she pulled out a firecracker from her waist, and aimed a shot at one of the clone soldiers.

The distance was too close, and the clone soldier couldn't dodge at all. The projectile left a tiny bullet hole in the armor, and the soldier fell directly into a pool of blood.

The huge gunshots also alarmed Lin Xiao. He was a little shocked. Didn't the Middle Kingdom come from the backward feudal period? Where did the gun come from?

Lin Xiao heaved a sigh of relief when he found Viscount Ella holding a firearm. With his extraordinary eyesight, he could clearly see that it was just an ordinary firearm inlaid with gold.

What he thought of at first were modern firearms, but luckily he made all the fuss.

After seeing Viscount Ella fired a shot, he was subdued by the surrounding clone soldiers, without giving him a chance to reload.

After the cavalry cleared out the stubborn resisters of the crusading army, they handed over the battlefield to the infantry, who immediately pursued and killed them.

After all, two legs are not as fast as four legs, and the retreating crusade army was quickly caught up, and bloody massacres were inevitable.

After eliminating the enemy's large group of troops, it was easier to solve the rest, and Lin Xiao handed over all of them to the cavalry.

He counted some prisoners, and captured more than 300 Zhongdi soldiers in total, plus several generals, among whom the highest title was Viscount Ella.

After these generals were captured, they didn't dare to be arrogant. They were similar to the previous ones, and they kept promising that they didn't want money.

They said that as long as they let them go, the previous things will be written off, and the compensation will be delivered on time. I am afraid that even they themselves do not believe these words.

Lin Xiao didn't kill them all. He lost a lot this time. More than 100 soldiers were killed in battle, and more than 200 soldiers were injured.

During this period, wounded soldiers were basically declared dead, and they could only be very lucky to survive.

If it weren't for his current storage of a large amount of alcohol, the survival rate would be greatly improved.

Thanks to his foresight, he used up spare energy points to clone a batch of expensive cavalry.

It is impossible for Lin Xiao to put all his troops in Huangsha Town. First of all, the distance is a problem. At present, only the cavalry can quickly support here.

But his loss is still great, at least he has to cut a piece of meat from the nobleman to make up for his own loss.

There is no shortage of supplies at the moment, and what he cares most about is the firecracker carried by Viscount Ella, which must be clarified.

As a modern person, even if he hadn't learned about it, he knew that muskets were a great threat to ancient soldiers.

If all the Zhongdi kingdoms that attacked today were equipped with this kind of firecrackers, even if he sent cavalry, it probably wouldn't have much effect.

Ella was also relatively honest, she didn't put in too much effort, and explained everything she knew.

It turned out that the firecrackers were passed down from the robbers by the sea decades ago, and it is said that they came from the Gulf States.

This kind of weapon is powerful, but it is troublesome to operate and has a short range. It needs to be close enough to be powerful, and it depends on luck when aiming.

Even with these flaws, this weapon still has a lot of room for development. The above problems can be ignored, and the biggest limitation is the high cost.

At present, only the royal family and a few nobles equip the army with firecrackers in the Middle Kingdom, and the other nobles simply cannot afford such expensive expenses.

In addition, the royal family deliberately hid the manufacturing technology of firecrackers, making it even more difficult for other nobles to equip the army.

Knowing this, Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder he only captured one from Ayla now. If all the troops in the Middle Kingdom were equipped with this kind of weapon, his strength would not be enough for the opponent's teeth.

It's good news that firecrackers are not popular, and he can still occupy Huangsha Town for the time being. After all, it is impossible for the royal family and those nobles to travel thousands of miles to attack him.

With a layer of worries, Lin Xiao had no choice but to give up the lion's big mouth, and stabilize these nobles for now.

After several days, the news of the defeat of the crusading army finally reached Huangsha City. If the soldiers hadn't fled back to testify, no one would have believed the news.

After discussion, the various nobles finally selected a messenger to negotiate with the rebels in Huangsha Town.

The nobles' request was very simple. Lin Xiao had to withdraw from Huangsha Town and release the captives. Naturally, Lin Xiao refused to agree, and asked for 20 tons of iron as a price.

The two sides bargained, and finally reached an agreement, the nobles paid at least [-] kinds of plants enough seeds to exchange captives.

When the transaction is completed, Lin Xiao will naturally withdraw from Huangsha Town.

This request is nothing to the nobles, it's just a bit weird, but it doesn't prevent the two parties from reaching an agreement.

After sending the envoy away, Lin Xiao relaxed a little from his tense face. Negotiating with these cunning guys was more tiring than fighting.

But he is still very satisfied with the agreement. It seems that he has suffered a big loss, but it is not necessarily true. Seeds are worthless to nobles, but they are very valuable to him.

Moreover, the collection is also very troublesome. He took advantage of the fact that the feudal nobles did not understand this situation, and asked for a total of [-] kinds, and the quantity must be sufficient. It will take at least several years to collect all of them.

Of course, the opponent's nobles can mobilize the civilians, and it shouldn't take much time.

As long as he has these seeds, even if Lin Xiao quits Huangsha Town, he will not lose money.
