In any case, Jiang Tian/Rorschach, who alone led away and helped defeat these Avar cavalry, was also entrusted by these Corsican volunteers to be the leader who temporarily led the advance. In fact, it was Porthos, who looked rough and strong, who first took the initiative to propose this suggestion.
His reason is also very simple. He was just a man from the Eastern (Roman) Empire who was temporarily hired as an instructor of the militia when he was passing by Corsica by boat. And Thiago is mainly from Saracens, a private swordsmanship coach on the border of the Cordoba dynasty, and he is not from the kingdom's army.
It's enough to lead people to resist desperately in a short period of time, but they really lack the experience and experience of the military; they are also at a loss or have no clue about the way to escape away from the defeated place. He even pulled Tiago and "persuaded" them one by one with his big fist.
So Jiang Tian set out again. In addition to his mounts, weapons and rations, he also had sixty-seven temporary subordinates who were not very reliable. Only most of them came from the remnants of the Corsican volunteers, and the rest were new legions hastily organized by the kingdom. After the defeat, defeated troops were encountered and gathered one after another.
Among them are the natives of seven or eight provinces. In addition to the members of the militia organized by each province, there are former soldiers of the Royal Army who were demobilized, recruits of the special committee from the capital city of Seine, and local volunteers who joined the province halfway. …
Occupations before joining the army were even more diverse, ranging from cobbler apprentices, small traders, tavern clerks, miners, farmers who were exiled by disasters, to laborers in the capital's Wang Family Factory and state-run military factories. In contrast, it was Geng Miao Zhenggenhong, the adjutant of the Fifth Regiment who came from an overseas legion, Jiang Tian.
Before that, they had gathered more than a hundred people on the edge of the battlefield, and collected a group of vehicles and horses, weapons and food. However, because of someone's greed, they stopped midway and plundered some more abandoned property; as a result, they were killed by Avar Human rangers found and targeted.
They chased and harassed them all the way, and lost less than half of them. The original leader, a senior non-commissioned officer, was seriously injured and died as a result. Only then did these two people step forward again and barely unified the internal opinions; they formed a simple team. The car base thought that there was a fight on the spot...
Of course, relying on "his" past memories and experiences, Jiang Tian didn't believe in his unique skills. This kind of vehicle barrier against cavalry tactics could only be understood by a mere militia instructor. It is more like the style of North Africa or the East, bordering the nomadic khanates and tribal regimes.
Thiago's sharp battle swordsmanship is not like that of an ordinary swordsmanship coach from a noble family. However, whether it is Polis, Thiago, or Jiang Tian himself, everyone obviously has something to hide. With a relatively consistent stance of self-preservation and survival, the boss will not laugh at the second.
After all, the main force of the new army formed by the ruling Grand Council in the capital hastily mobilized elites from various overseas corps has been defeated again. The ensuing invasion by foreign armies is no longer something that our small team can face and bear if it slips through the net.
Despite this, Jiang Tian still tried his best to use the three-point approach when new officers were appointed, and conducted a temporary survey and reorganization of these miscellaneous names in order to improve the reaction speed when running away and encountering enemies. Of these sixty-seven people, at least eleven were burdened with varying degrees of injuries.
Therefore, after capturing half of the Avar cavalry's mounts and carts, Jiang Tian did not give up on them. Instead, he gathered and repaired the carts, and tied them up like piles of bacon; of course, when necessary, he also Convenient to drop down and run away anytime, anywhere...
Then, among the remaining fifty-six people, there was also a young novice monk who passed by the captured man; two army washerwomen who worked part-time in customs; they were non-combatants. Therefore, after the former hastily buried the deceased and performed a requiem mass, he returned directly to Jiang Tian.
Serves as a portable record-keeping and accounting role. Two washerwomen with thick waists were assigned to look after the wounded on the cart, feeding them water and changing their bandages. From the remaining fifty-four combatants, eight of the thinnest and weakest were eliminated and organized into the third team.
That is, the laborers responsible for pulling livestock and carts, and the final reserve team. The second team has the largest number of people, including all melee/hand-to-hand weapons members, with a total of thirty-seven people; it is divided into two groups, long weapons and short weapons, with Portos and Thiago as the leading sergeants respectively.
Finally, there are nine soldiers with long-range weapons. There are two short hand crossbows, three standard military crossbows, one fire door gun, and three matchlock guns. They lack protection and are also organized to directly obey orders. Jiang Tian himself was also the first group responsible for support and suppression.
The few cart-pulling animals originally owned by the team were either abandoned because they were injured and lost mobility; or almost all of them were shot to death by the Avar cavalry in the chaos of the battle. But fortunately, more than ten horses of the Avars were captured, together with the pack horses for five carts.
So, after a short slaughter and decomposition of the injured and dead animals, under Jiang Tian's demonstration and guidance, he filled all the containers with blood while cutting off the thick shoulders, legs and back parts; finally, It became meat strips with wooden sticks threaded through the backs of horses and on the carriage rails.
Then, due to the dust that sticks to it while running around, as well as the continuous sun exposure and wind, it will soon become dehydrated, black, dry and hard. This is an emergency on-site food preservation technology that Jiang Tian learned from the Maasai tribe in Africa where he briefly stayed.
Then, looking at the polished sword blade on the saddle, Jiang Dan's own appearance with black hair and black eyes was reflected. However, neither Portos, nor Thiago, nor those Corsican volunteers turned a blind eye to this. This again involves a period of history hundreds of years ago in memory.
In other words, the Insurian dynasty, which resurrected the Eastern Roman Empire, and the two emperors Constantine V and Leo IV, with the help of the Seris people from the sea, finally defeated the people who once spanned the Western Continent. After King Charlemagne, many lands were also given as rewards.
In addition, Seris merchants have been active for a long time and have established many trading posts and strongholds from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean coast. Therefore, even in countries deep into the hinterland of the Western Continent, there are blood descendants from extremely distant eastern dynasties living among many kingdoms and city-states.
The best among them rule the vast area from Mesopotamia to the eastern coast of the Mediterranean; from northern India to the southern coast of the Caspian Sea, spanning the Arabian Peninsula and the coast of East Africa; and the hundreds of people ruled by them All nations and peoples are honored as the new generation of kings.
Therefore, even the descendants of Saint Laurent, or the dynasties of the Eastern and Western Romans, have also been integrated into the blood of the Seris people. In a sense, they are the same as the ancient Roman race who also had black hair and black eyes, and are called the descendants of silver/people of silk.
Therefore, the military organizations and titles of the continental countries also evolved into three types of systems and specifications. The first is a retro-style Roman legion title, taking the Western (Roman) Empire as a model; the second is an Eastern-style military system, and the third is an evolved hybrid.
Until the mutation that once spread across the continent interrupted this exchange for several generations. Jiang Tian was silently reminiscing about the memory fragments fused in this body; a trainee monk named Andrew, with a face full of acne, suddenly came over:
"Sir...sir...sir, those Avars' rangers are following up again. Sergeant Thiago is watching, and Sergeant Portos asked you, do you want to try to expel them?"
"Oh..." Jiang Tian, who was riding on the horse, couldn't help but swallow the horse meat strips that had no fishy smell and the blood clots in his mouth. He nodded and asked, "Then do you see how many people there are? Three. , five, or ten in a team?”
"Not many. I only saw two cavalry scouts. I don't know if there are more secretly following." Then, I heard the bald man Bodos say in a rough voice while stroking the sweat on his forehead. : "Always letting them follow you like this is not an option. More people may come over at any time."
"Are there just two riders?" Hearing this, Jiang Tian suddenly spat out a piece of chewed flesh and couldn't help but said: "Then you keep guarding the team and let me go and see the enemy's situation first."
The next moment, under the side glances and discussions of the soldiers on his left and right, he galloped out with a gun on his left and a long sword on his right; before the stunned Porthos could speak, and Thiago rushed out after seeing this. He came to dissuade him, and then he disappeared behind the shade of a bush in the dust.
Soon after, a vague and shrill cry suddenly came from the side of the mound behind the team, as well as the crisp sound of firecrackers. And among the slowly marching team, it became more and more agitated and noisy, even Portos and Thiago's companions were not immune.
As for the wounded who were fixed on the cart, among the sighs and sighs, some began to cry loudly; because this was the first time they met an officer who was willing to carry them with their wounded and burdened troops; but they were afraid of losing them. After this officer was abandoned again.
However, as Porthos glared fiercely, wanting to curl up, the temporary recorder, Brother Andrew, kept thinking silently in his heart: The Lord of the Almighty is above, this is not my fault, this is this officer's fault. Choice; impulse is a sin; it blinds the eyes and closes the heart...
"Everyone..." Faced with the torment of waiting for this moment, the bald Hambodos finally couldn't help but stood on a carriage and said: "How about we send someone back to take a look...". However, before he finished speaking, all the sounds suddenly disappeared.
Because everyone's eyes bypassed him and gathered in the direction behind him. Immediately, Portos couldn't help but turn his head and saw a familiar figure of a horse on the mound in the distance, leading several horses and trotting down the hill at a fast pace.
"Well, I'm back." Jiang Tian drove straight into the group of people who were vying to get out of the way. He said lightly to Portos who was standing on the carriage with his mouth open, "You are wrong. In fact, there are four cavalry points." We formed two groups and took turns monitoring us..."
Only then did someone notice that, except for a few bloodstained horses, there seemed to be no blood on his leather jumpsuit and chain vest. Jiang Tian lost his voice in an uproar involuntarily, and the quantum unit in Jiang Tian's field of vision also changed to "0.012."
