At the civilian wharf, the battle between the Qing Yue Army and the bandits was still booming. Faced with the bandits' desperate attack, the Qing Yue Army even though it was well-equipped and organized properly, it suffered considerable losses. At least the dense formation of spearmen was scraped away by several layers.

The bandits attacking the Qing Yue Army also paid a greater price. Compared with the dense crowd just now, they were only half less. However, only this half of them were more people than the Qing Yue Army, so the bandits could still block the attack of the Qing Yue Army.

Just as the bandits had lost confidence and were about to stop resisting and allow the Qing Yue army to massacre, the shouts of the little leaders suddenly came from behind.

"Brothers, support us! Our reinforcements are here! They are cavalry! Everyone see the opportunity to avoid it!"

Hearing this shout and at the same time hearing the sound of horse hooves behind, the bandits immediately burst out and rushed towards the Qing Yue army with a refreshed spirit.

They were in a state of fanaticism and did not pay attention to the words of the little leaders, allowing the little leaders to jump anxiously behind and shout.

As the cavalry got closer, the little leaders had to give up shouting, and nodded in harmony with each other, and then hid quickly on both sides.

They still have some knowledge and know that as long as the cavalry loses its impact, they can be slaughtered by infantry, so even if the cavalry rushed directly to the team and killed those unlucky guys, they admitted it.

Anyway, it’s not just yourself who dies.

The old knife, who was leading the cavalry team, saw that the bandits did not give way at all, but instead pestered the Qingyue Army desperately. He didn't think much about it and directly drew his bow and shot arrows. Now this distance is enough for him to shoot ten arrows.

Lao Dao, the centurion, was an order, and the cavalry behind him immediately followed him and shot continuously.

The riding skills behind him are slightly lower than those of the servants. Although the militia-born cavalry cannot shoot directly, they are not far from the enemy. They use direct shooting and throw arrows to the heads of the crowd in front.

The fanatical bandits obviously did not expect an attack from behind. The first one to fall to the ground was the bandits who were surrounded by arrows and rushed forward desperately. Then the bandits who were shot in the head and shoulders fell down screaming.

Since the Cons cavalry came along the street, all arrows were fired in one direction, and each attack caused a gap in the dense bandits. When the cavalry team moved forward, a passage covered with corpses was already exposed in front of them.

Originally, this gap would be filled soon, but the bandits who were awakened by the attack behind them, and the small leaders took the opportunity to shout, let them understand that those brothers died in vain, and immediately made them hurriedly lean towards both sides.

The cavalry took back the bow, the servants pulled out the sabers, while the other cavalry picked up their spears and began to charge.

Compared with cavalry who came from the grassland, these imperial cavalry were more suitable for using cavalry guns to charge.

Of course, this is mainly because the imperial cavalry is not good at cavalry shooting, unlike the grassland cavalry who is good at bowing and arrows and uses sabers close to each other, and can only use spears farther than the attack range of the saber.

The cavalry team had no mercy and rode their horses to trample the corpses on the ground into meat sauce. Their target was the Qing Yue Army, which was suddenly dispersed due to the bandits in the front and maintained an attack formation.

Before the Qing Yue Army could react, dozens of war horses from the cavalry vanguard directly crashed into the Qing Yue Army's spear formation, and the powerful impact force immediately dispersed the entire formation.

The dozens of cavalry jumped down from the horse's back as the horse hit the spear. Those who were unlucky hit the weapon and died, while those who were lucky knocked down the person and jumped up and slashed the sword.

Although dozens of war horses were lost, the spear that threatened the cavalry had been destroyed. The follow-up cavalry did not make any moves, but just grabbed the sabers and cavalry guns. The weapon would automatically cut the enemy next to him due to the speed of the war horse.

The long snake formation composed of thousands of cavalry defeated the long spear formation of the Qing Yue Army and attacked into the joint formation of swords and archers.

Those little bandit leaders were not stupid. When they saw that the enemy was defeated, they immediately drew their swords and shouted: "Hurry up!

Follow the cavalry and kill the enemy! Make achievements! The bounty is right in front of you!"

Although the bandits who had already made the road were a little angry that the cavalry shot their companions, they were already red-eyed and rushed up after hearing the little leader's shouting.

The joining of these bandits made the cavalry who lost their war horses breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise no matter how strong they were, they would not be able to support them for long, after all, they were surrounded by enemies.

Neil and others who stayed behind did not wait long. Soon, the Cons infantry in a marching state appeared in front of them.

Neil whispered to the leaders, "The one riding the horse in the middle is my lord, please be more respectful later."

The leaders nodded as busy as the chickens ate rice. They only took a peek and lowered their heads, but they didn't even see which of the dozens of cavalrymen was Cons.

"How long has the cavalry team been?" Cons stopped with his personal guards and asked Neil.

The infantry did not stop, but continued to run forward under the leadership of Juan.

You'an is very energetic and excited now, because he is the first imperial soldier to set foot on foreign land among so many local guard divisions in the empire. He is the imperial hero who expanded the territory of the empire! Although such deeds cannot be recorded by the empire, he feels very satisfied after fantasizing.

Depending on the situation now, it is also very good to follow this major. It took only how long it took to run to the Feidu Peninsula to fight. I wonder if I will run to the Free Alliance to start the war in the future? Haha, I am willing to bully a child like the Feidu Peninsula, but if I want to trouble the giant, I will be a deserter.

Hearing Cons’ question, the leader who bent down and stood in several rows immediately peeked at Cons, shouting in his heart: "It turns out that the lord I want to surrender to is so young." Then he lowered his head again.

Neil glanced first and found Xiang Wen was not there, and hurriedly said, "Lord, the cavalry team has been over ten minutes, and it is probably already fighting against the enemy. Lord, these people are the bandit leaders who have reported to you, who are willing to be loyal to the lord. Their subordinates are fighting bravely against the enemy at this moment. This time, the lord's plan will be successful and will be more help from them."

Of course, Neil dares not hide the credit of the leaders now. Are you not afraid of them clamoring to cause trouble for themselves?

"Oh, these are the bandit leaders?" Cons glanced at the leaders.

These leaders didn't know what happened, but they seemed to feel Cons's gaze and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "See sir."

"Oh, get up. Well, with your help, I can lead the army of Qingyue City out. Do you have any requirements?" Cons dismounted and asked.

Although he knew the requests of these bandit leaders, he could not speak directly, right? Thinking of this, Cons felt that he had become a little hypocritical.

As for staying here, Cons was waiting for the siege equipment led by Xiang Wen. He was not worried that one thousand cavalry and ten thousand bandits would not be able to solve the five thousand Qingyue Army. Besides, the two thousand infantry would be able to support it soon.

At the same time, he didn't believe that by killing the five thousand Qingyue Army, he could capture Qingyue City. Attacking the city still required siege equipment.

"Sir, the villain begs you to include us as your retainers. You are willing to be loyal to you to your destiny!" The leaders hurriedly knelt down and asked.

Cons smiled and said, "Get up, I agree."

He couldn't refuse, after all, he was working hard with his subordinates.

The leaders immediately shouted happily: "Thank you lord for love!" Then they jumped up, tidy up their clothes, and gave a big gift to worship: "See lord!"

Cons waved his hands while pinching his eyebrows.

He just couldn't understand why people always surrendered to him and wanted to be his own retainer? What did this guy work so hard, but he wanted to get? He was just a retainer? He didn't believe it if he said it!

Well, it seems that I have to ask about the retainers system on the Feidu Peninsula. Although I will not stay on the Feidu Peninsula for a long time, these retainers have to be arranged. I don’t know how to arrange the situation?

Cons waved to Neil, who came forward happily and knelt on the ground, while the leaders took a few steps back obediently.

"Master, what are your instructions?" Neil asked respectfully, he was very proud of himself. How about it?

You new retainers should know how honorable I am, right?

"Tell me what's going on with this system of keepers? Why do bandits hope to become retainers so much? And with your people, you can rely on anyone, how can you have to surrender to me?" Cons asked.

Neil was stunned immediately, and quickly turned his head and looked at it for a while before whispering: "Lord, this system of keepers is actually a political system with family as the bond. As for our bandits' desire to become retainers, it is because we are eager to obtain land."

He didn't dare let others hear that his lord didn't even know what his retainer was.

Cons was a little surprised: "It's just for the land? You are strong and powerful, won't you occupy a piece of land by yourself? Do you have to have a lord? Even if you can't occupy it, you can buy it."

"Lord, the land on Feidu Peninsula is not sold, and every place has a symbol of sovereignty. For example, the symbol of this land is Qingyue City. Without the wizardry of the lord of Qingyue City, the land we obtained is illegal. Not only will the civilians not recognize our ownership, but other forces will not recognize it.

"After the lord seized Qingyue City, the land that was enfeoffed to us will be legal, so that the civilians will surrender to us. After our subordinates owned the land, they also changed from bandits to civilians. Also, if the land was enfeoffed and the subordinates did not pursue rebellion, the lord could not take back the land."

Neil said that, looking at Cons nervously, he was afraid that Cons would only give money to his retainers but not land. The first goal he pursued was land, and the second was money.

"How much land is the general ceasing of retainers? How many levels are the retainers divided?" Cons was determined and continued to ask.

Neil was a little dizzy. The lord didn't even know the level of the retainer? However, it is normal for people who don't even know the system of retainers, so he explained carefully: "It is generally divided into six levels: the leader of the group, the captain, the deputy general, the general, the middle-aged and the elders of the family. The lowest level of retainers is the leader of the group, and the territory is about fifty stones.

"The lord's direct troops, that is, the flag bank, also have so many territories, and the captain is between 100 and 200 stones, the deputy general is usually about 500 stones, the general is about 1,000 stones, the senior elder is about 5,000 stones, and the family elders are usually tens of thousands of stones. If there is more, it depends on the merits made to increase the reward."

Neil said carefully that he was very smart and deliberately expressed the convention from many years ago. In fact, most of the retainers of the power now only have the territories that symbolize their identity when they became retainers. In the future, the increase of retainers will increase their salary, that is, money, and a very small number of people who have made great contributions will increase their territory.

This is mainly because the main brains of other forces are not stupid. Who would divide the land completely? You should know that if you divide it, you can't get it back, and it's better to give it money.

"Stone? Based on grain output? Not calculated based on land area?" Cons said in surprise.

Judging from the fertility of this land, fifty stones do not have many acres of land.

Neil understood Cons' surprise and hurriedly explained: "In fact, the salary of fifty stones is not worth a lot of money. Few retainers on the Peninsula live on that little food, and most of them rely on other industries to make a living.

"But land is a symbol of identity. A private soldier can be recruited with a five-stone salary. Residents rely on private soldiers to achieve success. Without private soldiers, they cannot obtain merits at all and improve their status, because once the lord conscripts, retainers who own territory need to send troops."

"Oh, so, as long as the land is divided, you don't have to worry about these retainers? But according to this kind of feudalization, the divided land is the heirloom of the retainers, but what should I do with the lord's taxes?" Cons asked.

"Well, the lord usually leaves a piece of land as a direct leader." Neil said a little panickedly. He didn't dare to say how much this piece was.

It’s not good to say too much, but it’s really troublesome to say that the guild will get angry if it’s less.

"Haha, I don't know how many stone territory you want to obtain, Neil? Remember when you surrendered to me, I didn't give you any level. According to convention, I'm the lowest-level team leader, right?" Cons said with a smile.

"The subordinates have no contributions and dare not think about it. They let the lord arrange it." Neil kowtowed in cold sweat.

What he was most worried about was this. Although he was the first to surrender to Cons, he was just a plan to settle down and didn't care. Now he thought he was just a leader! The lord wouldn't give each person fifty stones to deal with? Then how could he support dozens of retainers who called him lords!

"Okay, let's talk about these things after capturing Qingyue City. I will arrange them according to my achievements." Cons saw Xiang Wen and others appearing in the distance, and stood up and said.

"yes."
