Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

The squadron leader's reason was right, but there was another point he didn't mention, which was that Fengtou Pass needed to be held for seven days. The more serious the enemy's internal fighting was, the less pressure there was on Fengtou Pass.

If I and others really kill the enemy's infighting commander and the enemy dispatches a more powerful and capable commander, then the pressure at the top of the mountain will increase, and the pressure on them will also increase.

The most important thing is that they have no retreat order. Even if Fengtou Pass is lost, they must hold their position here.

You can call them abandoned sons or nails. In short, they are the elite of the whole battalion. As long as the fortress is not breached, they must make the enemy's rear road unsafe.

Looking at the Rakshasa barbarian mercenaries wearing various rags and rags, the squadron leader ordered:

"Everyone go up the wall and use bows and arrows to shoot accurately at the enemy!"

The soldiers responsible for guarding the fortress on the hilltop are all elite, at least they are archers who can fire iron bows and accurately hit the target within 120 steps.

At the same time, they can also throw spears accurately, use spears, swords, etc., can also ride horses, use trebuchets, crossbows, etc. Even the armor is the best in the army.

All of this is to be able to hold on to the fortress for a long time.

As for the enemy, facing a mountain with almost no roads, everyone's attack is bumpy, their advance is not fast, and they cannot form a large scale.

"Free Fire!!"

The squadron leader gave the order to fire freely, and then the squadron soldiers set their bows and arrows to find the target, and then shot an arrow.

"what!!"

It is difficult and inaccurate to shoot from the bottom up, but shooting from the top down is easy, far and accurate. If fifty archers shoot down in one round, there will be more than forty of these mercenaries. The arrow fell to the ground.

Although it is unknown how many people died, the injuries of these people would not be light.

So just this time, these mercenaries hid behind rocks, or hid in the blind spots of the Han army's shooting and did not dare to take a step forward.

"It's all God Archers, we need to retreat, we need to retreat!"

Let’s not talk about the combat effectiveness of these mercenaries, but they are definitely veterans, and their life-saving skills are quite good. They caused huge damage to them in the first round. Then it will be difficult for the Han army’s archers to shoot them. .

There were only a few mercenaries who could be taken away by sporadic shooting. Even three arrows could not hit a person. These people were too cautious.

Seeing the mercenaries retreating in an orderly manner, in a completely different state from the attack at the peak, the squadron leader frowned.

"This group of guys is very elite and good at fighting small-scale battles. Now we're going to be in trouble!"

Yes, although these people are not very good at seeing through, their fighting qualities are extremely high, not inferior to the soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade.

"Yeah, it's hard to handle!"

Regarding this, the sacrificial wine on the side also lamented. He also saw that these enemies, although they were elite and fierce, were not suitable for large-scale battles.

Facing this kind of enemy, it is not polite to say that when the number of people is the same, it would be good if the Han army's individuals, groups, squads and squadrons can tie with it, but at the level of the brigade, they can easily defeat them. The greater the number of these people, the greater the chance of victory for the Han army.

But it is a pity that the current situation is that the Han Army squadron faces a large number of such enemies.

"It's not easy to fight. We can only rely on the fortress to hold on. We have to be more careful in the dark night. These guys can touch it!"

The squadron leader's judgment was correct. These mercenaries couldn't attack the fort, but they were quite good at chewing through bones like his that were both hard and not hard.

Regarding this, Jijiu joked: "Do you feel like you are just about to show off your skills, but you are facing a situation where you are restraining your own troops?"

The squadron leader also laughed, "No, it's very uncomfortable!"

However, Jijiu didn't see it that way, "These people don't have the fighting will and can't bear too many casualties. They're just a little more difficult. There's no need to put too much pressure on yourself!"

The squadron leader smiled bitterly, "I hope so!"

It can be said that the squadron leaders and Jijiu in the two fortresses had surprisingly consistent judgments about the Rakshasa mercenaries.

At the same time, the leader of the mercenaries who had retreated was called to his side by the angry Baron Bernard to reprimand him.

"What are you doing? It's okay if you can't attack the Han army's city. Why can't you attack this small castle?"

Faced with Baron Bernard's scolding, the leaders of the mercenary groups lowered their heads and listened. After Baron Bernard finished scolding, someone carefully explained:

"Sir Baron, we can't all be blamed for this. Our method of attacking the city was too single, and you also told us to pretend to retreat, and we all did it!"

"As for the castles on the mountain you mentioned, although these castles are small and crude, to be honest, the guards inside are very elite and their bows and arrows are very accurate. Plus, the roads are rugged, so we can't attack them at all."

The mercenary captains were frantically looking for excuses, but of course they were telling the truth.

The most important thing is that the money given is so little that this kind of hard work is not worth it! ! !

"Roll, roll, roll, roll!"

In response, Baron Bernard could only drive these people away and then cursed angrily.

"A bunch of nasty war hyenas!"

In this regard, Baron Edmund, who had always laughed at him, rarely laughed at him this time, but agreed with his words.

"Indeed, these are a group of war hyenas, a group of guys who have no honor or bottom line and only have money in their eyes, but we need them too!"

Yes, no one really looks down on mercenaries, even though they are cruel and powerful.

Just like Baron Edmund said that they are a group of people who have no honor or bottom line, and only have money in their eyes. These people can fight for this nobleman today, and then tomorrow the other side will offer them higher money, and these people can turn around. Do things for the enemy just now.

Of course, this is a misunderstanding. These mercenaries are still very reputable, at least they will not do this before the contract expires. It’s just that the nobles are so noble that they dare to use them on the day when the contract expires, so the contract When the time comes, these mercenaries turn around and attack them, resulting in their defeat.

After this happened more often, these mercenaries were despised by the nobles.

But the strength of these mercenaries is still very good. Although they have no loyalty and honor, as long as they are given enough money and sign a contract, these people are the best soldiers.

So this is also the case for this battle. After the Rakshasa Man clearly only deployed three legions of 60,000 standing troops and 10,000 to 20,000 nobles and their private soldiers, the total strength still reached 110,000.

Because the extra 30,000 or so troops are all mercenaries, many of whom have already signed contracts with counts or viscounts, and they want to help the empire fight.

The remaining ones who have not signed a contract want to follow the army and see if they can get a bite of meat. As long as they can receive orders from the empire, being careful will always pay off.

Not only that, they also undertake to protect the caravans, escort the caravans, and escort the property plundered by the nobles back. Of course, they can also take over the matter of this nobleman attacking another nobleman's convoy.

As they say, they are a group of people who will fall into hell after death. They use their souls to make deals with the devil, so for money, they can do anything.

So at Fengtou Pass, the Han army and a standing regiment of Rakshasa barbarians were engaged in an offensive and defensive battle. When the fighting was quite fierce, the battalion commander of Fengtou Pass received a strange Rakshasa barbarian.

"What? You mean to give you money so that you can help us fight?"

The battalion commander at Fengtou Pass sounded very surprised. He didn't understand why these Rakshasa barbarians would turn around and help them deal with their own people if they were given money.

This makes no sense at all? ?

trap? ? ?

However, in response to the battalion commander's surprise, the Rakshasa man was not only embarrassed, but also rubbed his hands, then patted his chest, and swore in unskilled Chinese.

"Dear Master Han Jun, don't worry. We have more than a thousand powerful warriors in our glorious mercenary group. We believe in the contract. You can ask about it at will. Our reputation is very good. As long as we have money, we can fight for you until the death!" !”

"this........."

The battalion commander, the sacrificial wine, and the generals couldn't help but look at each other.

It’s so strange. I met a magical Rakshasa Man today, and I feel like I’m going to have a brain! ! ! !
