Chapter 23: general guard

"Fight back! Fight back!"

"Repel those **** thugs!"

bang bang bang—

"Uh-"

On a trail outside Ankerton, a dozen soldiers in turquoise uniforms are relying on a lonely farmhouse to resist the angry peasants who are several times more than themselves outside. Only a few of the peasants have old-fashioned muskets. , they roared and shot at the farmhouse from time to time, but they dared not rush forward.

The news of the riots in the capital was quickly spread around the city through the dissemination of conscientious people. Not only the citizens of the city rose up, but even the peasants who were oppressed by heavy taxes in the countryside fought back. The mighty village chief hanged the tax collector who kept blackmailing him, and besieged the noble manor in the countryside.

This group of peasants was an insignificant force among the revolting masses. On the way, they encountered soldiers who had escaped from the city. The leader of the peasants was greedy for the weapons in the hands of the soldiers, so they attacked the group of soldiers. In the end, they surrounded the other party in a farmhouse that had long been uninhabited.

"Rush up! Rush up!"

The peasant leader with an old-fashioned arquebus in his hand shouted at the surrounding peasants holding farm implements. He aimed the muzzle of the gun in the direction of the implement and fired a shot. .

At this moment, several black spots suddenly appeared at the end of the road not far away. The dozens of black spots moved quickly along the paved road. One of the farmers noticed this scene, and he immediately pointed to the black spots and appeared. direction, shouted loudly.

"what is that?"

The peasant's shout caught the attention of the others, and the peasants looked in the direction he pointed, which didn't matter. Those who used to work for the nobleman quickly recognized what those black spots were. .

"That's cavalry! The king's cavalry!"

He shouted in horror. It didn't take long for his voice to fall, and others also recognized the heavily armed cavalry. Although there were only about twenty cavalry, the peasants who had never been on the battlefield still stepped back in fear. Within seconds, several of the peasants participating in the siege escaped.

The peasant leader looked angrily at the peasants who retreated and fled. He yelled at those people, wanting them to stay and brave the cavalry running towards this side, but as the cavalry got closer and closer, he also began to feel Frightened, he and his subordinates turned around and ran away in the opposite direction.

It didn't take long for the cavalry with a sharp machete to come outside the farmhouse. The young man at the head stopped the battle, looked at the soldier in military uniform who was hiding in the farmhouse and dared not go out, and asked loudly:

"Which army are you from?"

Shortly after the young man's voice fell, a soldier in the farmhouse opened the wooden door where several bullet holes had been shot, walked out, and replied, "Sir, we belong to the Second Battle Battalion of the 27th Infantry Regiment."

A look of surprise appeared on the young man's face. He rolled over and dismounted and walked towards the soldier. He took a look at the soldier's armband, which was a sergeant.

"I'm Lieutenant Colonel Charlie Close of the 1st Garrison Regiment of the Royal Military Academy, Sergeant, tell me your name." He introduced himself.

Although he had never heard of the name of this garrison, it did not prevent the sergeant from saluting. He clenched his right fist and hammered his left chest, saying, "I'm Ilyan from the 5th Rifle Company under the 2nd Combat Battalion of the 27th Infantry Regiment. Sergeant Mick, sir."

Charlie returned a salute and then said, "I don't know where you were originally going, but now you have a new goal. The Wangli Military Academy is still under the control of our army. You will immediately withdraw there for repairs."

"As ordered, sir." The sergeant replied. He then hesitantly looked around at the cavalry that followed Charlie. He hesitated, but the sharp-eyed Charlie noticed his strangeness and asked:

"Do you have anything else to do?"

"Ah..." The sergeant was stunned for a moment, but he finally decided to say what he said: "Sir, if you're going to go to the city, I think it's better for you not to go."

"Huh? How do you say it?" Charlie asked rhetorically.

"They've gone mad." When the sergeant said this, there was still a trace of fear in his eyes: "General Berlan ordered the surrender of an organization in the mob called the Santos Party, and most of the friendly troops still stranded in the city were Following the officer to join the mob, the Santos asked us to launch an attack on the noble district and the palace, which was rejected by some noble officers, and then they..."

Speaking of this, he swallowed: "The Santos Party killed most of the officers of noble origin, promoted the veterans in the army, and distributed the wealth they looted to the army, preaching the so-called freedom, democracy and equality, Most of the soldiers went mad and decided to give their allegiance to them, and those of us who were unwilling to attack the king became their enemies, and they killed many people, and the rest had to escape. .uukanshu.com”

"You mean, the surrendered army has been controlled by the Santos party?" Charlie's expression was a bit ugly. If the enemy only had an army of armed mobs, it would be okay to say that it was just a group of untrained rabble, but if the entire Second Brigade All joined them, and that would be tricky.

The sergeant nodded, and then heard Charlie ask, "Then do you know how many people surrendered to the mob?"

"I don't know that." The sergeant shook his head, he thought about it, and then said: "In the previous battle, the three regiments suffered a lot of losses, and many people lost contact, our regiment At least one battalion is lost, and I believe other regiments will not be better off."

His words made Charlie ponder. He didn't know about the other regiments. The 3rd Combat Battalion he was in suffered heavy losses from being bombarded with grape bombs because they were crowded in a street. The rest of them all fled. From a certain point of view , is also considered a total annihilation.

No longer entangled with this issue, Charlie asked Sergeant Mick to evacuate the soldiers to the military academy, turned around and mounted the horse, and returned to the army with the general guard.

This General Guard was summoned by him later. Unlike ordinary troops, the General Guard and the people and horses were systematically summoned out of thin air. They were similar in age to Charlie, but everyone was experienced and experienced. The warriors, who are not afraid of death, will fight to the last moment to protect Charlie.

The weapons and equipment of these 24 general guards are not the same as in the game. In addition to the unified cavalry scimitars, each of them also has a flintlock pistol inserted in their waists for self-defense. The flintlock pistol is actually not available in actual combat Useful, its shooting distance is too short - generally speaking, if the general guard can use a flintlock pistol to attack, it means that the enemy has rushed in front of Charlie.
