The battle to clear out the rebels on the southbound baggage line was over.
Yat defeated the rebel army at the cost of twelve people killed, five seriously wounded, and more than ten lightly injured. The formation killed more than sixty people in the rebel army. Most of them were massacred by the mercenaries after surrendering in anger, because in this battle, the two newly formed mercenary squadrons, especially the left-wing mercenaries, suffered the most losses. Six of the twelve soldiers who died in battle were mercenaries who stood firm on the left wing.
The most important thing after the battle is to treat the wounded and clean up the spoils.
The placement and treatment of the soldiers who died in the battle and were injured in the battle were handled by Odo with his baggage (guards), while Art was busy inquiring about the captured soldiers.
The rebels had a lair nearby. It didn't take much effort for Art to find out the rebels' lair. However, when Art took Ron's 4th Squadron and the Sentinels and rushed to a remote village occupied by the rebels, the place was already in chaos. In a mess - the only seven or eight dilapidated houses and thatched huts in the village were set on fire by the rebels who escaped first. A dozen or so indigenous villagers who survived the butchery of the rebels were waving sticks and branches in an attempt to extinguish the chaos in their thatched houses. Fiery...
The only stone house in the village originally contained money, materials and food supplies that the rebels had recently looted. However, at this time, almost all the money that could be easily carried had been looted by the remnants of the army. A lot of valuable goods were also robbed, and only the looted room full of military rations had not had time to be burned (stone houses are not easy to ignite, and the remaining rebels had just set fire to the food, but it burned slowly because there was no combustion aid, so Art and his men put it out in time).
Matt kicked down the door of the rickety stone house and glanced around the messy house and the soldiers who had just put out the fire. "Are there any valuables?"
"If everything goes well, you can just go back to the camp with your things and send someone back to report back to me." Without saying anything, Angus immediately turned around and jumped on his horse, calling for the sentry cavalry to gallop away in the direction to the west of the village pointed by the villagers...
Seeing the sentries disappear at the entrance of the village, Art called Ron who was following him, pointed to the grain piled in the house, and ordered: "Ron, find an inconspicuous house, take your soldiers and immediately transport the grain to another house and hide it. Soon the local army will smell the smell and come over. This group of bastards cowers when fighting, and vicious dogs eat shit when they divide the battle. They didn't listen to my orders just now on the battlefield, and now they can't even get a grain of grain." "
"Hurry, ask your people to move it for me."
Ron led the people to pick up the grain bags and ran out, "I know where the food can be stored in the village, I will go right away."

As soon as Ron finished speaking, Bass also followed with a small team of soldiers, "Sir, the battlefield is almost settled over there. Chief Odo is worried that there is danger here, so he asked me to bring people over to take a look."
At looked at the mountains of food piled up in the house, and said to Bass: "You came just in time. You and your people will wait at the entrance of the village. If the local army smells the smell and comes over, tell them that the fleeing rebels are running to the east with a large amount of property, and say that I have sent troops to catch up. I order them to participate in the pursuit. If they can catch up with the deserters, I will give them one-third of the property."
"Did the deserters take their belongings and run eastward?" Bass asked.
"No, they went to the west. I just want to make this group of local troops eat shit."
Bass also glanced at the soldiers of the 4th Squadron who were carrying food, nodded, and asked: "What if they refuse to "pursue the enemy" and insist on entering the village? "
"I have already told them to chase the enemy to the west. If you don't listen, are the weapons in your hands just decorations?"
"Yes, sir!"
Bass led the five soldiers back to the entrance of the village and stared at the direction of the battle.
As expected, after a while, the two knights, each with two or three attendants, hurried to the entrance of the village on horseback.
"Where is Lord Art? We are here to help." A knight asked Bas who was standing at the entrance of the village.
Basi was very disgusted with this small Provence lord who did not listen to orders and only fought with the wind. Moreover, this guy obviously had more than twenty private soldiers (peasants) in his hands. As a result, when Art produced an order signed by the Minister of Military Affairs of Provence, asking him to send troops to assist in the suppression, he sent half of the private soldiers to "annihilate" the bandits in the territory, and only followed Art to the battlefield with a dozen old and weak serfs.
At this time, after receiving Art's secret order, Bass's attitude became even worse, and he replied in a bad tone: "Sir Stanley, the fleeing rebels took away all the property in the lair. Our soldiers went to chase the remaining bandits. My Lord ordered the two adults to chase east along the mountain road immediately after they arrived. You will have your share of the recovered property."
After hearing this, the other knight planned to turn his horse and chase towards the east mountain road, but Stanley, a local knight from Provence who was talking to Bass, stopped him.
Stanley glanced at the fireworks rising in the village, and vaguely saw the figures of soldiers moving in the village. He replied: "You said you should go east? We are not going east! Let's go, there must be fighting in the village, let's go to the rescue!" With that, Stanley ran around Bass and the others towards the village.
Basi grabbed the reins of Stanley's war horse and said fiercely: "My lord has an order for you two to pursue the remaining enemies immediately. Are you planning to disobey the order again?"
< br/> The attendant behind Stanley jumped off the horse, rushed up and pushed Bass away, cursing: "Untouchable! Who are you? Do you want to die if you dare to speak to my knight master like this?" He said that he was about to draw his sword.
The knight's attendant's sword has not yet been unsheathed, and the soldiers around Bas have surrounded the two knights and several of their attendants, with their halberds, spears, swords and axes pointed directly at several of them.
"What are you going to do? Do you want to kill the Lord Knight?" The attendant who pushed Bass just now had a fierce look on his face, but he was frightened in his heart.
Bas ignored the aggressive dog at all and walked up to the two knights and said: "My lords, according to the order issued by the Minister of Military Affairs of the Palace of Provence, you two will be under the control of my lords during the eradication of the rebel army. During today's team battle, the two of you disobeyed your lord's military orders and almost allowed the rebels to win. Now you two disobeyed the military orders again. "Aren't you afraid of military law? "
Another knight saw that the situation was not going well. He dismounted and pulled Stanley, and slowly explained to Bass: "Sir Stanley did not intend to disobey the military order. He was just worried that Lord Art was in danger in the village, so he was a little anxious. Since the Lord asked us to pursue the remaining enemies, we will take the order."
After saying this, the conciliatory knight planned to pull Stanley's horse's reins and turn around.
Stanley pushed away the knight who was making peace, pointed at Bath's nose and cursed: "Holding a piece of tattered paper, you really think you are the palace minister of military affairs. I will not chase the remnant enemy today. Let me see what Art can do to me?"
Stanley jumped off the horse and pulled out the knight's sword from his waist, "You bitch, get out of my sight immediately, or else I'll let you know how sharp the sword in my hand is. "
Basi is not moved at all. He is born in a humble family and hates these little lords who insist on their noble status and treat everyone as a pariah. Only such strong-willed people can pretend to be cruel in front of civilians. If it is true, a brave knight like his lord will not show off his power in front of humble civilians.
"Lord Stanley, I once again affirm to you that Sir Art Wood Wells, the knight of the palace guard of the County of Burgundy and the outpost commander of the Eastern Army, is commanding the army to eliminate the rebels under the orders of the Minister of War of the Palace of Provence and the commander of the Eastern Army. Sir Art orders you to lead your soldiers to pursue You must not disobey the military order in order to completely annihilate the rebel army and clear the way for the Eastern Army to move southward." Stanley stretched the knight's sword to Bass's neck and spat in Bass's face, "Bitch, if you don't get out of the way, I'll cut off your dog's head!"
Baz slowly raised his hand to wipe away the thick phlegm on his face, glanced at Stanley, and suddenly used his left hand to block the knight's sword placed on his neck. Then he raised the heavy hammer with his right hand and hit Stanley. Stanley raised the sword and the heavy hammer hit the knight's sword hard. The huge impact shook the knight's sword out of Stanley's hand.
Then Bass swung the heavy hammer and hit Stanley on the stomach. Although the hammer withdrew its power, it still knocked Stanley back a few steps and squatted on the ground holding his stomach.
"Arrest these rebels who disobey military orders!" Bass ordered to the soldiers around him.
Five soldiers rushed forward and knocked Stanley's two attendants to the ground, and then held them tight.
“Brother, you can’t kill Sir Stanley, you can’t kill him, you can’t kill him!” The knight who had made peace with him just now saw that the situation was out of control and he quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Don't worry, sir, we are just catching rioters who disobey military orders. How to punish them is your business. I will not overstep." Bass replied expressionlessly.
"That's good, that's good, I will take my men to pursue the remnants of the enemy immediately. Go immediately."
"Sir, no need, just stay here. You will give us a witness in a moment. Lord Stanley blatantly violated military orders." Bass said politely to the knight who was making peace.
uddy in you ．
In the village where the rebels were hiding, the food in the stone houses had been basically emptied. Art stopped the last soldier carrying the food bag and ordered: "Tell your squadron leader Ron to gather all the available horse-drawn and ox-carts in the village for me. I will send people to transport the food later."
As soon as the grain-carrying soldiers went out, a soldier from the second squadron ran in and whispered to Art: "Sir, as you expected, the two knights came after smelling the smell. However, Lord Stanley refused to carry out your military order and was detained by Chief Bass."
Matt glanced at Ron Squadron who was still busy in the village, and then at Angus and the Sentinels who were chasing the enemy but had no response. He ordered the messenger soldiers: "Tell Bass to keep an eye on those two men and say that I am leading the soldiers to clean up the remaining soldiers in the village. It will take a while to deal with it. Tell Bas, don’t hurt the two knights easily. After all, they are noble knights of the friendly country. "
"But if Stanley’s soldiers dare to continue to cause trouble, it doesn’t matter if they kill one or two bastards..."
