The team traveled for another day and rested in the evening. Voltaire is still looking for food everywhere. Today he found a lot of wild fruits, killed a big water snake, and stabbed a lot of fish. The snake is peeled, grilled, and seasoned with salt. It's delicious. Only knights, professional soldiers, and Voltaire shared it. Wild fruits and grilled fish were shared among everyone. After Voltaire practiced Tai Chi and took a bath, he sat together with the farmers and said: "Uncles and brothers, we have narrowly escaped death on the battlefield. Even if we are on the grain transport team, maybe we will join?" Bud asked: "You What do you mean?" Voltaire replied: "Working as a team improves the possibility of survival." Bud asked: "How to fight as a team?" Voltaire stood up and said: "Three-person formation. Bud, get up, that big brother Get up too." Voltaire pointed to a tall, sturdy man, who stood up in response. Voltaire asked two people to face outwards and three people to stand facing outwards. He said: "Stand like this, the weak point behind is protected by teammates. If the opponent is strong, the three people can further shrink, reducing the defensive area. If the opponent is weak, the three people can expand outward." Attack." Everyone immediately understood the benefits of teamwork and formed a team to practice their positions. After a while, the soldiers joined in to learn. Knight White watched from a distance without saying a word.
Voltaire greeted the tall man: "Hi! I am Voltaire, fifteen years old. You?" The tall man replied honestly: "My name is Strong, I am sixteen years old." Sixteen? I really can’t tell. Voltaire said: "Shall we have a wrestling match?" Strong said yes. The two stood opposite each other. Voltaire used his left hand to explore Strong's right shoulder. Strong instinctively let go of his shoulder and bent his left leg. Voltaire bent down and quickly reached for the bend of Strong's left leg with his right hand. Strong fell down immediately. Strong stood up unconvinced, and Volstey said: "You are much stronger than me, but your speed is too slow and you can't control your body, so you can't beat me now. I'll teach you my skills, and you'll be fine once you practice." Better than me." Strong said.
So, for the next period of time, Bud and Strong followed Voltaire to practice pile kung fu in the morning and traveled during the day. In the evening, Strong followed Voltaire to hunt, and Voltaire barbecued for everyone. In the evening Strong practiced Tai Chi with Voltaire. Despite his rough appearance, Strong is actually very smart. Within a few days, he got started with Zhuang Kung Fu and Tai Chi. Voltaire felt safe and +1 in his heart.
On July 11, Knight White set out suddenly armed, as were his soldiers. Everyone suddenly became nervous. I walked slowly for a day, much slower than usual. But nothing happened. Badyan: "This is a dangerous area, and we will reach the battlefield in a few days. I hope that by the time we reach the battlefield, the war will be over."
On July 12, we were still marching slowly. Near noon, when passing through a forest, there was a sudden sound of bowstrings and screams. Knight White shouted: "Enemy attack. Enemy attack." A group of people rushed out of the woods, with a knight at the front, warriors behind, and a group of farmers behind. White and the soldiers moved forward to fight. Voltaire and the others found their own team and formed a team to kill the other farmers. The knight battlefield formed a big empty circle. Voltaire observed the two knights while running, and saw only two knights shouting and fighting. He couldn't see any tricks, and he couldn't sense the so-called aura. The peasants also quickly fought together, and the organized ones fought against the unorganized ones. It was too easy. After a while, Voltaire and the others wiped out the other party at the cost of five deaths. Voltaire, Bud, and Strong were on guard, while the others were busy picking up the corpses. Our own soldiers also have a great advantage when they implement the three-talent formation, but it is not easy to decide life and death immediately. When the opposing knight saw the situation of the farmers and soldiers, he knew that he could no longer take advantage and ordered a retreat. Our own soldiers saw their own farmers picking up corpses and wanted to run over to take advantage, but Knight White stopped. All spoils of war go to Voltaire and Bard. Volstey said: "Let's see if there are any suitable weapons, and if so, replace them. Throw the unused ones on the cart. Old Bud will handle the money." Bud counted it, 61 shillings, 943 pennies. Bud took 30 shillings and gave them to ten soldiers, and the remaining 38 farmers divided them equally. After dividing the spoils, Voltaire looked at his five naked corpses (who were also picked up by Western Fantasy) and the dozens of naked corpses from his opponent. He ran to Knight White and said, "Sir Knight, can you bury the dead?" White Look at Voltaire. Voltaire said again: "The dead are the most important." White said: "I'll give you a quarter of an hour." Everyone dug dozens of holes in the woods, buried the dead, and finished by making the sign of the cross. White looked at Voltaire, who was born with the temperament of a superior, from afar, and was silent.
After this battle, Voltaire's leadership status among the peasants was completely established. Bader was like a steward, Strong was like a servant, and all the soldiers also respected Volster.
On July 14, the transport team arrived at the base camp of Baron Leicester, only to find the base camp gloomy and gloomy. Old Bud quickly made diplomacy and came back to tell him that there were four knights under Baron Leicester, one dead, one wounded and one captured. Knight White had just arrived, and Earl James was also at a disadvantage. This afternoon Baron Leicester and two The knight went to the count for a meeting. Baron Leicester came back and announced that in the final battle tomorrow, all Baron Leicester's troops will face the opponent's Baron Ayler's troops.
On the 15th, after breakfast, everyone assembled in full gear and went to the battlefield. Against generals, soldiers against soldiers, peasants against peasants. Voltaire looked far away with his spiritual eyes. Although the number of his own knights was the same as that of the opponent, it was not optimistic that the injured knights insisted on going to the battlefield. There are also slightly fewer soldiers than the other side. Without any further thought, Baron Leicester shouted: "Kill." Then he went up to kill the general himself.
Voltaire led the peasants towards the other side. Farmers have skillfully formed a three-talent formation to protect themselves and effectively harm the opponent. The opponent's protection was extremely poor, and there were casualties one after another. Voltaire almost killed himself with a spear, all stabbed in the throat. In less than half an hour, the farmers on the other side had collapsed, a small number of them escaped, and most of them died. Baron Leicester's peasants suffered only one-third casualties.
White's soldiers also formed a three-talent formation to resist more opposing soldiers, offsetting the numerical disadvantage and reducing casualties.
Suddenly, a knight attendant under Baron Ayler rushed towards Volster, and the peasants fled like a flock of chickens. Bud and Strong stood behind Volster, and the peasants who came with them hesitated. Voltaire pulled out a throwing spear, took two steps forward, threw it with all his strength, then pulled out another one, observed it before throwing it. The attacking knight's squire ran while blocking and throwing spears. Feeling that his strength was not amazing, he ran more and more boldly. Voltaire threw four more spears in sequence. The knight's squire was blocking more and more busily, and the man was getting closer and closer to Voltaire. Voltaire suddenly threw his dagger. The dagger was so fast that the knight squire could not react in time. The dagger pierced the knight squire's right eye, and the knight squire could not help but cry. With a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right hand, Voltaire rushed towards the knight's attendant. The spear pierced his throat like a poisonous snake. "Poof", the knight's attendant returned to the west. Baron Leicester shouted: "Kill!" All the knights and soldiers excitedly charged towards the enemy. Baron Ayler had no choice but to retreat with his men. Baron Leicester won this time. Earl James and Earl Hunter had a total of twenty battles. Earl James won seven and lost thirteen, and was defeated overall. Earl Hunter obtained the copper mining rights for the next five years in the disputed territory. Earl James can obtain 35% of the profits, but Hunter has the final say on how this income is calculated.
