In Pendor's world of low martial arts and low magic, if a mercenary can last 30 years in his mercenary career, and if he can finally become a mercenary cavalry commander, then it will definitely be a matter of honoring his ancestors. It has been touted in pubs in many cities for many years.
Alek is such a person, even if he is in a miserable state at the moment.
Being blind in one eye forced him to retire from his team. He spent his whole life chatting with girls in pubs but never got married. Now that he is old, he does not even have the right to coax his grandchildren.
All he could do was continue to go to the pub, drink dark dark beer, and remember the past in the noise.
To be honest, no captain of the mercenary group will hire old Alek anymore, just like no young girl will take the initiative to come forward. After all, the old guy is so embarrassed that he can't even drink mead.
When Zhang Yang hired old Alek, he had already spent almost half of his life's savings. He even sold all his armor, weapons, and mounts. He was a drunken and crazy old man. If it weren't for Zhang Yang and You** The operator system allows him to see the identity of the old guy at a glance, and he will definitely not hire him.
After spending a thousand silver dinars, the old guy was equipped with armor, weapons and a death knight horse.
Yes, it was the mount of the black knight who was killed. This war horse was so majestic, tall and strong that even Zhang Yang's level 6 riding skills could not handle it.
But old Alec was different. Even if he was drunk, he could still control this death knight horse to run like a good young man.
Because the old guy has level 9 riding skills.
That's not all. The old guy's average attributes are not high, but he is better in all aspects.
Level 9 Iron Bone, Level 9 Power Attack, Level 9 Throwing, Level 9 Strong Bow, Level 9 Riding, Level 9 Mounted Shooting, Level 9 Running, Level 13 Weapon Mastery, Level 6 Coach, Level 6 Tactics, Level 5 Shield Defense, level 5 tracking, level 5 plunder, level 5 item management, level 3 control, level 3 trading, so many skills, just ask if you are afraid of them!
By the way, one-handed weapon proficiency is 300, two-handed weapon proficiency is 300, pole weapon proficiency is 300, throwing weapon proficiency is 300, bow and arrow proficiency is 300, and crossbow proficiency is 300.
Just asking you if you accept it
Any weapon, any melee combat, long-range combat, horse combat, or foot combat, can enter the second echelon of this low martial arts and low magic world. If combined, he can definitely enter the first echelon, because he knows too much.
When Zhang Yang decided to hire this old guy, he knew he had made a profit.
But now, he thinks he has earned it even more.
Is there someone following you? He didn't know, he didn't see it, but old Alec made such a discovery after drunkenly riding his war horse back and forth a few times, tsk tsk! Simply great value.
"Isn't there a third option?"
Zhang Yang didn't show any signs of panic, he even asked with a little excitement.
Old Alec looked at him with his remaining cloudy old eyes, then shook his head and said: "Captain, from my perspective, this is the only way I can think of."
"I understand, so how many people do you think those rogue knights will use to deal with me." Zhang Yang asked again.
"It depends on how much they hate you, captain, and their mood. After all, those rogue knights cannot be measured by common sense. They have degenerated like devils at some point. But judging from the recent situation in the Afendor region , I think the Black Spider Squad of the Rogue Knight Maddie and the Bloody Hand Squad of the Rogue Knight Siaro will definitely be dispatched, so there may be a scale of forty or fifty people. If the Black Fire Squad of the Rogue Knight Qiao Meng is also dispatched, they may It will be tangled up to the scale of eighty or ninety people.”
Old Alek said in a familiar manner that for an old guy like him, all local gangsters have to stay aside.
"I understand, what if we speed off overnight?"
Zhang Yang pondered for a moment and then asked.
Old Alec thought about it.
"This is a good idea, but since we have three carts and infantry, our speed will not be fast. The person following us is the rogue knight McGrady. He has a good relationship with the rogue knight Siaro, so I I think it depends on luck, the Blood Gambler team has not joined this feast yet, but no matter what, Maddie’s Black Spider team must have sharpened their knives.”
"That's it, let's set off at full speed. Robert, give me the order. All the infantry will get on the carts, and add a horse to each cart to drag. We have to speed up. Alec, I need a battlefield that is very beneficial to us. .”
Zhang Yang made a decision quickly.
"I understand, Captain."
Old Alec shouted and urged his horse to lead the way.
The three coachmen quickly hitched the three horses onto the cart. On the side, Thor, Bob and others quickly covered the wooden wheels of the cart with special animal skin coats. This was also what Zhang Yang had done during previous training. Made out of boredom, although it cannot be compared with rubber tires, it is at least much better than pure wooden wheels.
After a few minutes, all the infantrymen climbed into the carts to maintain their strength and prepare for the coming battle.
The coachman raised his whip and the three horses ran wildly. Zhang Yang, Carly, Anderson, two Jatu wanderers, and the five noble sons were all guarding the front and rear of the cart.
The overall speed is increased by at least 30%.
At this time, Zhang Yang looked back, and sure enough he saw two riders speeding up to catch up.
He smiled, but he was full of confidence.
Under the dusk skylight, Zhang Yang and the others ran wildly for an hour, covering nearly thirty miles. The three carts were damaged to varying degrees, and the nine horses pulling the cart were so tired that they stuck out their tongues.
However, they also successfully arrived at a small hill covered with trees. This was the fighting location found by old Alec, if the black spider team of the rogue knight Maddie must insist on fighting.
In fact, the Black Spider Team arrived very quickly. I don’t know where they came from. Or are they motivated by wealth
In short, as soon as Zhang Yang and the others set up their positions, rumbles of cavalry followed, a total of 26 cavalry. If they were placed in the plains, Zhang Yang and the others would have no chance of survival.
But now, the sky has dimmed, they occupy a favorable location, and the soldiers are completely waiting for work, so the result is hard to say.
"Kill them!"
"Keep the women and kill all the men."
All kinds of chaotic shouts rang out, and these rogue knights didn't stop at all, preparing to end the battle with the last ray of light before dark.
"All cavalrymen dismount and line up. Anderson, give your bows and arrows to Alek. Alek, can you still draw your bow?"
Zhang Yang gave the order very calmly. He also dismounted and carried three spears of imprisonment and two packs of heavy javelins on his back. This was destined to be an infantry battle.
"Hey, captain, don't worry, old Alek is not old yet!"
The old man smiled proudly, but did not dismount. He just took the bow and arrow handed over by Anderson. He squinted his one eye and did not shoot. It was not until the black spider team on the opposite side had rushed within thirty meters that he opened his bow and shot an arrow. , just heard a scream and hit the target.
Following closely, Old Alek quickly opened his bow and shot out five or six arrows in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, Carly had also fired two crossbow arrows, but the first arrow missed, and the second crossbow arrow ripped off the skull of a rogue servant. This women's crossbow was much more powerful than a hunting crossbow.
Zhang Yang did not throw at this time, but just watched the rogue knights slow down, and when they were ten meters forward in the woods, he suddenly took action.
The first is the three spears of imprisonment, which directly kill the rogue knight with the most fierce momentum and the most luxurious equipment at the front!
This is the most important thing, because these three rogue knights are actually holding ancient inscription shields, which are the kind held by the Sarion Guards. This kind of shield cannot be broken even if a hundred arrows are shot.
Coupled with their luxurious full-body plate armor and talisman swords in their hands, they are definitely the core figures of the Black Spider Team.
If they don't die, even if they have a geographical advantage, the infantry array they have deployed will be vulnerable to a blow.
Sure enough, with the death of these three core rogue knights, the members of the Black Spider Team were all greatly affected, because the rogue knight McGrady was among them.
"Kill! Rush out!"
Old Alek's old voice suddenly sounded. He had overstepped his authority, but it was definitely just right, because on such a battlefield, no one knew the rhythm of the battle better than him.
"attack!"
Zhang Yang also roared immediately. Veteran Robert and Veteran Norton immediately led all the infantry to rush out. In the dim evening, in the woods, they recharged their energy like tigers, dividing and encircling the riders.
"Boohoo!"
Zhang Yang took off his javelin bag and threw all twelve heavy javelins in one go. Then he also drew out his sapphire talisman sword and rushed forward with a roar.
"Mount your cavalry and follow me!"
At this time, old Alek once again issued an order beyond his authority, and then three noble sons and two Jatu wanderers obeyed his command, quickly moved up, bypassed the mountain battlefield, and rushed down from the other direction. .
At this time, Zhang Yang realized that his command skills were a bit poor. He should have delegated power to old Alek in advance. Fortunately, the old guy's grasp of the fighter plane was amazing, and there was no suspense in this battle.
Because he was holding a sapphire sigil sword and didn't even get a kill. Veterans Robert, Norton, Tony, and Bob had already killed seventeen or eight rogue retinues and the second son explorer who had no time to turn around in the melee. , the remaining rogue subordinates turned around and ran away, and then were stabbed diagonally in the back of the pocket by Old Alec and his men, who led a charge with lances and knocked them all down.
So far, the Black Spider team has been completely wiped out, with 27 people, 5 rogue knights, 12 rogue followers, and 10 second son explorers all missing.
Everyone cheered forgetfully, even Carly, howling like a female werewolf. This almost unscathed battle boosted morale too much and united the team too much.
Zhang Yang was very surprised. He was sure of defeat, but he never thought of annihilating the enemy.
