Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel
Chapter 38 Command
"How long has the Tenth Thousand been gone?"
Count Perez asked around.
"It's day two now."
"Is it too fast, or are the barbarians vulnerable?"
Count Perez said this, but he was actually very excited.
"Tell Knight Derek that I will give him the first credit." The count stood up, walked around, and sat down again: "Let him bring the beheading and the prisoners, and also... give this piece to him."
After the messenger left, he stared at the map again.
If the other thousand-man teams are also progressing smoothly, then they can make a fuss.
…
Derek received a new order, and the harvest was actually on the way.
It is definitely impossible to keep the spoils to yourself.
However, if the beheadings and prisoners were sent over, then the other gains could be kept. This was considered a tacit agreement.
There may even be a profit share in the future, or it may simply be converted into military exploits.
Regardless of the results of the first battle, there were a lot of gains, but this little battle achievement was not enough.
Derek rested for a day, left some wounded soldiers behind, and continued on the road.
The new mission area is larger and closer to the barbarian army, which is obviously more dangerous.
Simon once again led the cavalry to explore the road, which is why Derek was so luxurious, otherwise the elite knights would never do this kind of work.
“The situation is worse than imagined, at least half of the villages have been attacked, and even the towns have been looted.
Currently, a group of hundreds of barbarians are stationed in Sanhe Town. "
The news Simon brought back was very bad. He was approaching the barbarian army, and as expected, there were suddenly more enemies.
And if they occupy a town, they must have basic facilities. If they attack by force, the casualties will be very high.
Moreover, this group of barbarians does not seem to have unified command. Regardless of the opponent's level, at least they cannot be easily bullied.
Like a bucket of cold water being poured down, Derek suddenly woke up.
Some of my previous thoughts were more like delusions.
Although it is said that Ci cannot control soldiers, if he really takes his life to bite off this hard bone, what will happen next?
He would never believe what a reward he would get after taking down this group of barbarians and suffering heavy casualties.
"Eat the small group of barbarians around you first!"
Derek chose to place the camp directly next to the barbarian army.
During this period, the barbarians tried to take advantage of the 10,000-man team's unsteady footing to attack.
Unfortunately, Derek, who was waiting for him, beat him up, leaving thirty or fifty lives behind, and finally walked away in despair.
Then a small group of cavalry attacked wildly, and the elite infantry centurions took turns to follow with one or two centurions.
Those barbarian teams consisting of dozens of people had no power to resist at all.
The barbarians organized another wave of cavalry to try to break the deadlock.
However, Derek used his closely-formed infantry to fight, and was forced to fight back.
The two sides went back and forth, losing some of each other's soldiers, and finally gained some understanding of their respective strengths.
"Where did the army come from? How come it is so much stronger than what we encountered before?"
The barbarian leader Donique stood on the low wooden wall. He could see some of the Rockmen staring at him, and some of them were still in the mood to train.
If he hadn't fought several times without taking any advantage, he would have led his men out by now.
As the leader of a small tribe, although the barbarian king gave him the title of baron in a decent manner.
But they are still accustomed to living in tribal organizations.
"The Commander-in-Chief's order is to delay Rockman's progress. There is no need for us to leave the town."
Donique comforted himself, of course he would never admit that he was afraid of the other party.
Taking the tribe as a unit, the cohesion of warriors is much higher. But as a leader, he didn't dare to lose too many people.
Otherwise, the tribe may be annexed by others.
The system of the Barbarian Kingdom still retains the original tribal style, unlike the Locke Kingdom where the aristocratic Senate guarantees inheritance rights.
The barbarians huddled in the town, and Derek was rude.
While leading people to sweep away the small groups of barbarians around, they crossed the defense zone and moved toward the Iron Wall City.
From here to the north, it's at most three days' journey to Iron Wall City.
The barbarian army is not far from here.
There were more barbarians over there, and more towns and villages were conquered.
Although there were no big results, there were frequent attacks by Rock Kingdom troops, and it was impossible for the barbarian base camp to turn a blind eye.
In the end, all the pressure fell on the barbarians below.
It's a pity that he rushed several times, but there was still nothing he could do against the smaller Derek Army.
As time passed, other thousands of troops also advanced very close.
Moreover, one or two thousand-man troops launched a fierce attack and regained the lost ground with huge casualties.
The other thousand-man teams also began to imitate Derek and kept rushing in and harassing them.
It is obvious that the number of barbarian troops still active outside has decreased a lot, and even the offensive of Iron Wall City has been affected.
Bit by bit, Derek took over a hundred more beheadings.
Then... a new army arrived.
"Oli Palmer, commander of the 8th Thousand Regiment of the Provisional First Regiment of the Northern Province."
The guy with the title of baron standing in front of him looked very kind.
He is said to be a soldier, but more like a businessman.
Derek quickly made a simple judgment.
"Hello, Your Excellency, Baron.
I am the commander of the 10th Thousand Regiment of the Provisional Second Army of the Northern Province, von Derrick. "
The two got to know each other briefly.
Baron Palmer produced Count Pereira's order.
"The mission of our two thousand-man teams is to break through the town in front of us and then continue to advance."
"What's the purpose? How far do we need to advance?"
"As far as we can, it would be better if we can reach the Iron Wall City."
Palmer obviously knew the meaning of this order, with a wry smile on his face.
"Knight Derek, this time we have to take care of each other, and we must not die here."
Palmer felt that this move was very dangerous, and as a bait, he might be finished if he was not careful.
But Derek felt that there might be a chance.
"What we have to do now is to kill the enemy in front of us first."
Derrick's eyes were firm, and he had not seen it for nothing these days.
He knew something about the situation of the barbarians in the town.
"There are only about 500 barbarians in the town, and after several defeats, their morale is not high.
We should be able to take it down after a strong attack."
Derrick was confident, and Baron Palmer was happy when he heard it.
"Then we can attack from two directions, one person each, and try to take it down as soon as possible, how about that?"
Derrick was sure that this guy really had no military knowledge at all.
Encircle three sides and leave one side, don't chase the desperate enemy, this is the most basic operation.
Once it is determined that there is no hope of escape, the barbarians will fight to the death, and even if they win, they will suffer heavy losses.
So Derek implicitly reminded: "Baron Palmer, you should have no military experience before, right?"
Baron Palmer may not have experience, but he is not stupid. He immediately understood what Derek meant and answered honestly: "No, to be honest, this is the first time in the history of my entire family that I have participated in a war."
He didn't know where he was wrong, but he understood that professional matters should be left to professionals, and he should learn slowly.
So he said readily: "Knight Derek, why don't you take command this time? I heard that you once served in the Pereira Knights, so it's a good opportunity for me to see the style of the Northern Knights, how about it?"
