will of the planet

Chapter 42 Chapter 63: The Crowd
This trick is very insidious, but it also has a fatal flaw. If the army formed by the new nobles does not cause enough losses to Lin Xiao, they will be defeated...

It is not difficult to achieve this, Lin Xiao immediately mobilized and laid an ambush on the only way for the new noble army.

Since the number of people cannot be too large, it is still difficult to defeat 5 people, so he simply sent the cavalry over, and it will be very convenient to support at that time.

Lin Xiao strictly blocked the news of these military operations. He didn't know if there were any traitors inside him, but it was better to be careful.

……

……

The next day came quickly, and an army appeared from the east. Their uniforms were not uniform, and some even wore farming clothes.

There are less than 500 soldiers who actually wear armor.

In the center of the army, there are several gorgeous generals, and the leader of the army, Darren, is at the front.

He was the only viscount among the new nobles, and he had the highest prestige among the new nobles in Huangsha City. He easily united the scattered new nobles and formed a crusade army.

You must know that they have become a laughing stock in the upper class. If they don't take back their territory, I'm afraid they will have no face to face those old nobles in the future.

Things like face are very important to them, not to mention that this time the enemy is coming so fiercely, if they wait for them to stabilize, it will be difficult to deal with.

And their news from the front line, this group of enemies of unknown origin possesses powerful artillery, which is a huge temptation.

Although the Middle Kingdom has artillery, the number is not many, and they are all concentrated in the hands of the royal family.

If he can get these artillery, Darren can be sure that he can rise.

As for the price to be paid, Darren didn't care at all. These temporarily recruited cannon fodder were not worth mentioning in his eyes.

Darren looked ahead indifferently, and soon a soldier ran over: "Report to Lord Viscount, Shitu Ridge is just ahead."

"It's easy to ambush here. Send an order to let the soldiers pay attention." Darren ordered solemnly.

A baron at the side asked puzzledly: "Your Excellency Darren, Shituling can ambush up to 300 people, do we need to be so careful?"

"It's always right to be careful." Darren smiled without explaining.

At this time, arrow feathers flew over from the direction of Shituling, and many soldiers who hadn't had time to prepare were hit by arrows one after another.

"Enemy attack!"

The crusading army almost became chaotic. After all, they were a group of civilians who had never seen blood. Seeing other people's plight, they couldn't help being terrified.

After stabilizing the scene, Darren found that the number of opponents was less than 3, and he immediately became angry. How dare such a small number of people come to ambush him, he is courting death!

Under Da Lun's command, the soldiers rushed towards the rocky soil ridge. This time they didn't bring many archers, and the opponent was at a high place, so they didn't have much advantage in facing each other, so they had to let the cannon fodder charge first.

Among the soldiers in ambush, there are hundreds of longbowmen, occupying a favorable terrain, and blocking the menacing enemy at the foot of the mountain.

The militiamen who rushed up were not the opponents of these regular troops, they were all pierced through their bodies, and they were regarded as dead, which also frightened the follow-up militiamen.

When the militiamen were hesitating, the Zhongdi regular army behind them killed them. This time they were not the opponent's enemies, but these hesitant militiamen.

Several militiamen who fought timidly were killed on the spot, which also stimulated other people. In order to survive, they could only bite the bullet and rush forward.

Even though the clone soldiers occupy a favorable terrain, they still can't withstand so many people, and half retreat towards the top of the mountain.

Darren at the foot of the mountain stared at the battlefield, a little strange, since the opponent wanted to ambush, he shouldn't push himself to a dead end.

He was a little vigilant, and recalled a group of soldiers who wanted to chase and kill the soldiers in the past, but these militiamen were frightened and rushed forward, unable to stop them.

When the two sides fought inextricably, teams of cavalry came from the corner of the road under the mountain and rushed to the flank of the crusading army.

The terrain here is flat, which is very suitable for cavalry to charge. Because the cavalry came too fast, the crusade army did not realize that something was wrong until they were less than [-] meters away.

But it was too late, half of the 5 troops were restrained by the soldiers on the top of the mountain, and the cavalry came over without any hindrance.

When the remaining militiamen at the foot of the mountain saw a large group of armored cavalry coming, they all fled in all directions, how could they dare to stop them.

Seeing these cavalry, Darren's expression also changed. He had heard that the enemy cavalry was very powerful this time, so he just smiled every time.

Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he realized how ignorant he was.

A little shocked, Darren was more angry. He didn't expect this group of militiamen to be so cowardly, and they were scared away before the enemy came.

No matter what, he didn't have time to punish those deserters, so he quickly organized soldiers and gathered them together to set up knives and guns to resist the cavalry.

What surprised Darren was that these cavalrymen bumped into them with sharp knives and guns without changing their expressions.

The end result was that the horses and men were torn apart. In the blink of an eye, nearly 20 cavalrymen died on the spot, but they also used their corpses to break up the enemy's formation.

The follow-up cavalry was basically unhindered, tearing the enemy's formation in half, and many noble generals were trampled into flesh before they could retreat.

The remaining Zhongdi soldiers collapsed directly, and only a few noble generals were left to organize and resist tenaciously.

Delaying the time is not good for the clone soldiers. Their number is too small. If the opponent reacts, it will be a hard battle.

And the rest of the soldiers were mixed together, and it would be difficult to deal with them if they were organized.

"Lord Darren is dead!"

I don't know which soldier suddenly yelled, beside him, there was indeed a corpse of a nobleman, and the clothes seemed to be what Darren was wearing.

Of course, Darren is not dead, and he is having a hard time now, falling off his horse and breaking his leg.

When he was helped up by his subordinates, he suddenly heard such a sentence, and spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot: "Fuck you, my uncle is alive and well!"

Only the hundreds of soldiers around him knew that Darren was alive, but the battlefield was so chaotic, who could be sure that he was still alive.

The Zhongdi soldiers might still be skeptical when they heard this sentence, but after the militiamen heard it and added the corpse as evidence, no matter it was true or not, they didn't want to stay here anymore.

The main body of the crusade army is all militiamen, and their escape has also led to scattered soldiers from the Central Plains who don't know the truth.

Without the hindrance of the militia, the cavalry charged at the Zhongdi soldiers who were still resisting. These hundreds of soldiers could not resist the cavalry who were even more numerous than them.

With the last charge, Darren, the supreme general, died under the iron heel, and the soldiers who were still resisting finally collapsed and fled in all directions.
