Although the encounter with the Wanzhou warriors was not what the group wanted, even if they succeeded and survived, it was better than death.
Because of the shortage of supplies, especially weapons and armor, the equipment of the Ashugaru who died in battle and abandoned their armor became good trophies for them.
There are 38 short guns that are still usable, 9 gun heads that were broken or chopped off, 17 knives, and 8 side swords. There are 11 pairs of complete armor, 4 damaged ones, 17 array hats, 13 pairs of simple cage hands and leggings, and some fragmentary accessories. In addition, there are 9 large bows for infantry warfare and 337 arrows.
The only price for obtaining so many trophies and equipment was that two of our own had some flesh wounds, and two knives were a little dull and needed to be re-polished.
The carriage's tarpaulin was also torn, torn, and stained with blood during the battle, but overall it could be considered a victory at a relatively small cost.
Crescent Island's ashigaru armor is basically a simplified version of samurai armor, with a smaller protective area and simpler craftsmanship, thereby achieving higher output and lower prices. Although most of them are relatively thin and cannot withstand the close-range shooting of large bows and heavy arrows in infantry combat, they are enough to withstand the cutting wounds of some lighter edged cold weapons such as swords.
Their plan was to use some to arm the witches, and the other to strengthen the protection of the carriage. Now that the ghosts can move on their own, the load of the largest carriage is freed up and not used to transform it into a chariot. Or it would be a pity to move the bunker.
Although Mitiara's two-legged chariot was not used in actual combat, it also provided valuable experience for the warriors to shoot while standing on a mobile platform.
A six-wheeled carriage with a large number of bunk beds can be transformed into a double-decker structure. Part of the bed on the lower floor can be dismantled and the wooden boards can be recycled to heighten the outer wall of the second floor, which can then be reinforced with looted armor.
The warriors could then stay on the roof of the carriage and use the breastwork as cover to continue firing.
A larger space means more people can stand, and the arrows they get are stored in it.
Of course, these are only current plans and ideas. For such an improvement plan, they had to find a place where they could repair it temporarily and it would take at least one day to complete it.
What was more urgent at the moment was to leave the war zone immediately after looting, because those warriors who fled quickly on horseback might come back with reinforcements.
The patrol team they defeated was at best a village-level patrol in Wanzhou. Once the opponent went to a larger place such as a town to ask for help and brought a force of thousands of people, no matter how good the tactics were, there would definitely be casualties.
Hostility with the samurai from the prefectures is extremely undesirable, but the other party is not going to give them a chance to explain. Even if a larger official means that it is more likely to judge that the identities of the shrine maidens are genuine, taking such a risk is not worth the gain. .
Naomi's case has shown that even if they have a noble status, shrine maidens who do not hold real power can only be respected in words.
And more importantly, the real vassal rebels occupied Jeju but had no possibility of penetrating into Wanzhou.
Almost zero.
They must evacuate the main road immediately.
Not only that, but you have to rely on the witches' knowledge of the roads to change paths again and again. Even if this requires a longer detour, safety is still the top priority right now.
Always assume the worst case scenario so that you won't be overwhelmed when a crisis comes.
This doesn’t mean you should be alarmist or panic; planning based on worst-case scenarios can be calming. Because I have confidence in my heart.
What people fear most is the unknown. Being trained to know how to deal with certain extreme situations means that even if you are still unable to fully perform due to panic, at least you will know how to do it after you come back to your senses.
If there is no training and learning at all, then you will end up panicking from beginning to end - or worse, blindly trying to do things in a way that doesn't work, but killing yourself and your companions.
– But let’s get back to where we started.
Hit-and-run and robbery sounds quite dishonorable, but adventurers have always been pragmatists, and along the way, the Qingtian family and the others have already been deeply influenced by Henry.
The situation does not allow them to be gentlemen.
After this encounter, it would be better to treat their group as having completely exposed their presence in the Wanzhou area at least, because although Crescent Continent is large, there is probably no other team with such distinctive personalities in the entire continent. .
As long as the people in the domain hear about the composition of the team members, they will most likely know that they are their targets. Whether it was the strangers and the remnants of the Qingtian family who were transporting the certificates of surrender, or the shrine maiden troops that had not been completely wiped out before, they were all thorns in their side.
They may not have known before that the two were now working together, but because these were the actions of the idiot warriors from Wanzhou who were supposed to be on the Xinjing side, there was a high probability that the existence of the group would be completely exposed to the vassal.
Teruyue was angry several times and felt that she should have chased and killed the ten escaping warriors, but they were short of horses and the ghost warriors had just recovered from a serious illness. Even if the runes were strengthened, they could only run at full speed in a short period of time. The horses are at the same speed. The other party wants to run, but they really can't keep up.
The battle was won, but the hidden dangers spread.
This is absolutely unacceptable.
The hardware conditions, such as military strength, financial resources, and territorial scope, are so different from those of Xinjing. The reason why the vassals can win consecutively once the war begins, even the absolute elite such as the shrine maiden unit, which can be called the gods on earth, has been defeated. sand.

intelligence.
Why did they bypass the land defense line composed of the useless Wu family disciples in Zhangzhou who were clearly trying to waste time?
And why did they know that the fishermen in Minamata could be incited to form a movement called Shikagami?
The action routes and composition of the shrine maidens and even the thickness of the armor worn by the ghosts are all tightly controlled by the feudal side. They know their opponents from beginning to end, while the Shinkyo side does not even let the information leak. clear.
The leadership of the domain is well aware of the importance of information.
If you can grasp the opponent's number, equipment and specific location, you can respond to it and accurately mobilize a targeted force.
If 10 ghosts can deal with 100 samurai, then mobilize 200 samurai; or use a feint to separate them. Even if the total force is evenly matched, a forced battle will only result in a miserable victory. As long as you use strategy to grasp intelligence, you can ensure the strength of the troops in an area in the short term. If you are weaker than your own side, you can eat away at the enemy who is more powerful than you little by little while preserving your military strength.
The actions of the domain were obviously based entirely on various important intelligence, and they attached great importance to the importance of intelligence. Therefore, even if the group of people fighting were theoretically Wanzhou warriors who were hostile to the vassal territory, once those 10 people went back to ask for help and reported, they could be regarded as having been exposed to the enemies of the vassal territory.
Based on the performance of the domain so far, if you are still careless and think there is no problem at this time, it can only be said to be asking for death.
Therefore, they need to evacuate immediately, change lanes several times, and then repack in a safer place.
The strong ghost warriors not only have amazing fighting power, but also work very quickly. According to the sage's vision, the bed was removed, recycled wooden boards and various accessories were remodeled, and the interior space of the carriage became larger in an instant. And they redistributed supplies and the like. In addition to replacing the tarpaulins with carriages made of hard wooden boards, they also used some of the remaining supplies on other carriages.
The top of the largest six-wheeled carriage was designed to be a mobile shooting platform for the archers. In addition, there were many horizontal long holes in the carriage below, which were used to extend spears to attack the carriage approaching from below. of enemies.
Although the design is simple, it is overall stable and practical. Almost all the sharp weapons of the ghosts were damaged in the previous battles. The sturdy and durable studded hardwood sticks left behind were actually their favorite weapons, so the offensive methods were not a big problem. The more troublesome thing was the armor.
Their huge bodies meant that they couldn't wear the ashigaru armor as a trophy, and they couldn't dismantle and remould it without the tools and skilled craftsmen. In the end, only the three most powerful ghost warriors, including Teruyue, wore the armor they had damaged in the previous battle and now had some patches on, while the others used the armor they had obtained in large quantities at Henry's suggestion. Ashigaru short spear, thrown as a javelin, long-range attack.
For humans, short spears that are too heavy to be thrown far are quite handy in the hands of the ghosts. The structure of Kazuto's spear is different from Rigar's. The cross-section is not rhombus but triangular, with one side flat and the other two slanted.
It is not clear whether this special structure is better than the Rigal Spear, but at least Kazuto's design is to retain the piercing ability while not being too heavy.
Although it is still not as good as blunt force against armored targets, this batch of throwing spears can be regarded as adding their long-range attack capabilities in addition to arrows.
There is a high probability that the people in Wanzhou will be hostile to them because of the previous vicious battles. Although they have to guard against attacks from the vassal territory and people at the state pastoral level must be aware of the existence of the witch, there is a high probability that the entire state's army will not come. Chase. However, the hostility in the current area is foreseeable, so at least hundreds to thousands of local defenders should appear in pursuit.
In addition, once the feudal army learns of their existence, the two eyesores are in the same place. If they don't take action at this time, they will definitely accelerate the pace of pursuit and attack.
He was attacked from both sides in a real and literal sense.
Even if the ghosts can fight one against ten, that is only if their health, armor, and weapons are intact, and with the help of a miko. At this time, other factors are greatly reduced, and the maximum number of people who can kill the enemy without injuring is only 5 people at most.
Of course, these are five well-trained and well-equipped horseback samurai, and the number of Ashigaru and the like can be doubled.
But even so, our Mr. Sage, whose combat power is equally exaggerated, and the slightly inferior but top-notch blind swordsman among humans, are also assisted by others.
When encountering a force of hundreds of people, it would be best if they could avoid it and not fight.
Because this is not the purpose.
The battle with the Wanzhou warriors was not worth the loss. Although they got a very important booty this time, every bit of their weakened strength would cause Wanzhou to fall faster when the vassal territory attacked later.
This is an act of supporting the enemy.
Although the battle with the feudal army lacked this level of consideration, they were marching after all. Once caught in a dogfight and a war of attrition, it would be quite fatal for a group of people without the ability to supply supplies.
Escape if you can. If the opponent is really chasing you, rely on mobility and long-range projection power to at least significantly weaken the opponent before engaging in close combat.
On the one hand, this can better prevent one's own team from attrition in close combat or someone being injured and weakened, slowing down the pace. On the other hand, it can also speed up the end of the battle and get away before the opponent's reinforcements arrive.
