shout Where a sharp arrow went, a pig that was scurrying behind the grass was suddenly shot to the head, and the arrow broke through the brain, and the pig didn't snort, and was planted directly on the ground.
"Good archery" In the midst of a burst of cheers, the two mercenaries rushed over, stretched out their legs and kicked the beast entity, turned around and smiled: "If you are dead, you can have a good meal tonight."
The archery man was the leader of the Russell mercenary group, a middle-aged warrior named Russell, he put down the bow in his hand, and looked quite proud in the cheers next to him, but he pretended to be reserved, and said with a smile: "Just spring, these beasts are not fat enough, if it is autumn, these beasts are all thick, roasted with fire, full of oil and water, that is enough to taste." ” Char smiled, he hadn't spoken yet, a group of majestic men around him had a somewhat unconvinced look on their faces, and the leader of them was the leader of the Flame Rhino Mercenary Group, Hawke refused to see Russell in the limelight alone, and shouted with a loud laugh: "Captain Russell, your archery skills are really good, but this beast is not enough for so many people, see if I come to add another dish to everyone."
After speaking, he turned around and drank, and several mercenaries who were close to him immediately rode out with him, and several people rushed into the forest quickly, Char's heart moved, and he also rode his horse to follow, Hawke looked back, saw Char coming, and said with a smile: "My lord also has itchy hands."
Char laughed: "You don't know, I was a hunter in the wildfire field before I joined the army, and I like this hunting thing the most." ” Several people galloped in the forest for a while, and suddenly Char raised his hand: "Stop" Char shrugged his nose on the horse, smelled a strange smell in the air, and smiled: "Ha, there is a big guy." ” Several people dismounted, after looking around for a while, Char's nose was sharp, and soon found the source of the smell, and found a stinking trace next to a bush, Char smiled: "This is a big guy, these beasts like to divide the territory with the smell of urine, we are afraid that we have intruded into its territory, be careful." ” Hawke perked up and waved his hand, and several of his warriors took off the short-handled axes hanging from their backs.
A few people searched along the bushes, and after a while, they suddenly heard a roar of "Ao", and a big wild cat with colorful fur came out of the bushes, this beast was majestic, but after all, Char and others were numerous, this beast did not dare to hurt people, turned around and fled towards the forest, Hawk laughed, and suddenly blew a whistle, the whistle was sharp, Char did not come back to his senses, he saw a few flame rhinoceros mercenaries shouting, several people stood together, and waved their arms at the same time, and several short axes were thrown out The lynx was still fleeing among the bushes, when suddenly several short axes flew and slashed at it, and the beast howled, and was cut to the ground in an instant.
Hawke cheered and ran over, he was so strong that he picked up the lynx and laughed, "Okay, this guy has enough weight."
Char's heart moved, but he glanced at the few flame rhinoceros mercenaries next to him: these guys threw axes just now, and their movements were uniform, which was obviously a well-practiced tactic If you can gather more than 100 people and form an array, these men obviously have thick arms and full of strength, and hundreds of axes are thrown out, how powerful they are Char had a smile on her face, and she couldn't help but feel more and more excited.
That night, the brigade camped in this forest, a big lynx and a pig, the weight was one or two hundred catties, these mercenaries were all veterans who were used to fighting in the wild, skinning and disemboweling the barbecue, more than 300 people, each of whom got a large piece of fragrant barbecue.
Char asked people to take out a few large barrels of ale that they had brought with them in Wildfire Town before setting off and distributed them, and suddenly these mercenaries were overjoyed, none of these mercenaries who ventured all day long to beg for a living did not like to drink, they were all heroes in wine, and several large barrels of ale were divided, which immediately attracted a burst of cheers.
Char sat with Hawke and that Russell, these two guys are Char's targets that Char is interested in, and in comparison, he prefers the burly Hawke in his heart, this Hawke is not very old, his appearance is powerful, his surname is also bold and strong, and he has the most temper towards Char, in contrast, that Russell is older, he is more sophisticated, he is fine, and he will have reservations in what he says and does.
It's been three days since this road came out, and the team is traveling with cars and horses, and it's hard to get up at a speed, Char deliberately befriended these mercenaries along the way, he was originally a mountain hunter, although he became a big official, he didn't have any shelves, and he ate and lived with these mercenaries.
The Fire Rhino Mercenary Regiment led by Hawke was originally a first-class mercenary group in Wildfire Town, with outstanding reputation and excellent reputation, but the year before last, Hawke's father, that is, the original head of the Fire Rhino Mercenary Group, was in a mercenary mission to protect a human merchant group passing through the dwarf's territory Blue Basin, but he was besieged by the dwarves somehow, and Hawke's father died in order to protect the guests, and the rest of his subordinates desperately escaped.
In that battle, the elite of the Fire Rhino Mercenary Regiment suffered many casualties, and the momentum was suddenly much worse than before.
Fortunately, Hawke himself has extraordinary martial arts, and his surname is bold, and he is also very popular in the mercenary group, after his father's death, he carried the banner, he was born with a strong and upright surname, the most trustworthy, and he does what he says, in less than two years, under his actions, the momentum of the Fire Rhino Mercenary Group has gradually recovered a lot.
Several large merchant groups were willing to hire a reputable mercenary group like Hawke to act as a guard.
And that Russell is an old man in this industry, he debuted at the age of eighteen, and has been a mercenary for more than 20 years, the Russell mercenary group was formed by himself ten years ago with a group of old brothers, he is fine and cautious, and his own martial arts skills are also quite attained, so many years by his prudence, the scale of the Russell mercenary group has expanded to the current situation, in Wildfire Town, it is also considered to be the top five large groups.
Hawke's surname is like a fire, and Russell is old and steady, the surnames of the two leaders are different, and even the styles of the two mercenary groups under him are very different.
During the day, dozens of carts were lined up like a long queue, and the wagons were packed with grain and covered with tarpaulins.
Two mercenary groups were in charge of the escort and were dispatched, with Hawke's men guarding the perimeter and Russell's men guarding the convoy.
Along the way, the warriors of the Fire Rhino Mercenary Regiment surnamed Blazing Fire also acted in the same style as their leader, a young and strong man riding on a horse, not stopping for a moment, a rider riding a horse, constantly riding around the convoy and galloping back and forth, the men on the horse were all vigorous, and from time to time let out a piece of whistle.
The people of the Russell mercenary group were close to the convoy, most of them did not say a word, but they wore weapons and armor neatly, and the queue was solemn, and two or three people were assigned to guard a car and hurried in a muffled voice.
After going up all the way out of Wildfire Town, I went up for three days, but I didn't encounter anything wrong, although there are a lot of demonic beasts in the wildfire plain, but most of the powerful demonic beasts have spirit surnames, so a large group of people and horses passed by, and those individual demonic beasts also fled far away.
As for the black tribe of the thieves and horse thieves on the wildfire plain, they are also not seen, and they want to come to the two mercenary groups to protect this trip, and those ordinary thieves and black tribes have already heard the news and dare not make a mistake.
It's just that the road is peaceful, Russell and the others seem to be very satisfied, but this guy Hawke is a little bored, and he can't help complaining, this trip is really boring, the brothers are so bored that their hands and feet are already itchy, and they can't wait for a few thieves to relieve everyone's boredom.
When Russell heard this, he just smiled slightly, and then groaned slightly, and then persuaded Zhengse: "Hawke, we are mercenaries, licking blood on the blade, and using our lives to earn hard-earned money is our duty, but after all, the lives of the brothers are also their own, and it is better not to work hard if you can."
I still hope that I can be safe and secure along the way.
Taking risks is duty, if there is danger, everyone will fight with their lives, but you must also take into account the safety of your brothers, your surname is still too anxious, as a regiment leader, you can't blindly fight bravely. ” Hawke listened, although he agreed on the surface, but he was a little disappreciative in his heart, only thinking that this Russell head was only afraid that he was old, and his anger and courage had been worn out.
Char listened to it, and his heart suddenly moved, and he immediately made a decision: starting tomorrow, Russell's people and Hawke's people will change tasks.
Russell's men were responsible for guarding and searching the perimeter, while Hawke's men stayed behind and followed the brigade.
Char's intentions are very clear, although Hawke's people are full of momentum, they are far inferior to Russell in terms of finesse, and this peripheral vigilance is like a scout in the army, and what is needed is to be meticulous and cautious.
Char didn't expect that his temporary decision was actually right On the fourth day, the calm along the way was shattered It was a rare sunny day on this day, although this season would not be hot, but such a sunny day also made people feel refreshed, a convoy went all the way to the northwest, most of the landforms on the wildfire field are wilderness and woods, walking on the wilderness, far away to see the surrounding is open, only occasionally a small hill and a small piece of sparse woods in the distance.
Hawke's men were restrained to follow the brigade guard, and the young men with the surname Impatience were a little sullen, and even Hawke couldn't help but ride his horse several times from the front to the tail end of the team, and then from the tail end to the front, it seems that he was born to be an idle guy.
At noon, in front of the road, Russell ran back with a few mercenaries Pegasus, and from a distance, Russell was sweaty, rushed to the team in one breath, and came to Char's side.
Char saw that Russell's face was different, and her heart moved, vaguely knowing that something might be happening.
Sure enough, Russell approached Char, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "My lord, I'm afraid that something is wrong." ” "What's wrong," Char frowned.
Russell took a breath and said in a low voice: "My lord, speak softly, things haven't been clarified yet, don't surprise the team." ” After speaking, he and Xia Zema ran to the side of the road, and Russell said in a serious voice: "My people divided into several teams, went around to a forest on the left, and a hill in front of me to take a look, and felt that something was wrong."
In the forest on the left, there are obviously many traces of the horse team stationed, and the other party is also a veteran, and the traces have been processed, but my people are fine, and I still see some traces, the turf in the woods is not neat, obviously there is a large team of horses passing by, and the turf has been gnawed by the horses."
Char frowned.
Russell continued: "There is also the hill ahead, my people copied it and searched it, and they also saw traces of the turf passing, and the traces of the turf looked new, and it should be that a large group of men and horses have been stationed in the last two days.
I estimated that the number of the other side was at least around five hundred. ” After speaking, he pulled out the dagger on his boot and said in a low voice: "I personally checked some and dug a few pits in the ground, and sure enough, I found some things, food beast bones buried by someone, and feces, obviously the other party deliberately hid traces."
I think these guys have been following us all the way for two days."
Speaking of which, Russell glanced at Hawke next to him.
Hawke's face turned red suddenly, two days ago, his people were in charge of guarding and searching the periphery, but they didn't find the slightest, so even if it was his dereliction of duty.
Char nodded, sank slightly, and shouted, "Sharpa" Sharba was originally following the team, and when he heard Char's shout, he immediately rode his horse and galloped over, Char's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "We are in trouble, someone may be eyeing us, you take a few people, run back along the road to see the movement" Sharba was not afraid and grinned: "What kind of birdman is so bold that he dares to attack our ideas." ” Char knew that this guy was brave, and said, "Don't be careless, we're not in the army now."

Sharba's expression was a little more cautious If he brought a flag regiment, no, even if it was just a battalion of Rhodria iron cavalry, even if he walked sideways on the wildfire field, no one would dare to provoke him, but now after all, there are only more than a hundred mercenary warriors around, although these mercenary warriors have good personal martial skills, but in the eyes of the old cavalry who came out of the elite army like Sharba, it is a group of rabble, if you encounter the Rhodrian cavalry, such a little person, as long as you come to a small team, two charges can directly defeat these people.
"Search backwards, don't run too far, if you encounter an enemy, don't be brutal, come back immediately, stay safe" Although Sharpa was brave, he was extremely convinced by Char, after all, Char had a life-saving kindness to him, and after remembering it firmly, he asked Russell for a few people, and rode all the way back to search for him.
As soon as he heard that his group might be targeted, Russell and Hawke both looked very serious, but Char looked calm, after all, he had been in the army, and he had seen the war of tens of thousands of soldiers, and he dared to charge against Hasting's besieging army with two hundred miscellaneous cavalry, and he still cared about the thieves in the wildfire field He didn't even give the order to speed up the procession, but instead told Russell to order the procession to move slowly, and then found the people from the Gallensian merchant group who were accompanying the group.
These people from the Gallensian merchant group have been walking the wildfire field for many years, and Char asked them for a map, looked at it for a while, and then looked up and smiled: "It seems that yes, we are being targeted." ” With that, he dropped the map on the ground and tapped it with his dagger: "Look, the road ahead is exactly two woods, and in between is a narrow piece of terrain, which is the best place to ambush us." ” Hawke and Russell next to him saw it and nodded, but Char immediately smiled: "These guys are also cunning, although we have seen through their strategy, we have to take this road." ” Char's words made sense, and Russell and Hawke didn't look surprised when they heard it.
You know, what is the greatest difficulty in walking over the vast wilderness Not food, but water It is not difficult to bring some food, but it is difficult to carry a large amount of water.
Even if there is some water in the convoy, but there are hundreds of people, people need to drink and horses need to drink, and even if some water is prepared, it is not enough for so many people and horses.
Therefore, historically, caravans have walked on the wildfire field, generally with several fixed routes, walking along a few well-known water sources, and must accommodate the distribution of water sources, and sometimes even do not hesitate to detour.
"We have to go forward, to the next water source to replenish the water, otherwise, even if the people can hold on, the horses can't hold on, the horses can't do it, we can't carry these carts ourselves."
Char smiled: "So, this road is the only way for us, we can't bypass it, we have to walk two more days to get around, there is a shortage of water for two days, our horse team can't walk, once we can't walk, then these guys staring at us will take the opportunity to attack us."
Most of them are a group of horse thieves, who come and go quickly, and if they come and attack on horseback, we can only resist, and maybe they will be scattered. ” Russell and Hawke both looked awe-struck when they heard this.
If it is a real fight, both of them are veteran mercenaries who have experienced adventures, and they are naturally not afraid, but the lack of water is not something that courage can make up for Both of them have rich experience in surviving in the wild, and know that once the team runs out of water, the centaurs are thirsty, even if it is an elite team, it is helpless.
On the huge wasteland, there is no water source, so you can really only be trapped by the opponent to death.
"Break through" was Hawke's proposal, and the fierce young man gritted his teeth.
Russell pondered for a while, frowned, and said, "Or let's go east, avoid them, find a water source and replenish it on the spot, and then see how it goes."
"It's a steady.
Char smiled and looked at the two of them, his eyes flashed, and there was a hint of essence in his eyes, at this moment, Char's eyes flashed a trace of killing, after all, he was a person who had experienced war, and thousands of troops rushed out of the killing, once it was really revealed at this moment, Hawke and Russell were both in their hearts "Not at all."
Char sneered, there was a bit of a sense of calm in his smile at the moment, and at this time, Char seemed to have really recovered a little bit of the spirit he had when he led the army to fight Hastings on the wildfire field.
"Let's move on, slowly."
Char said coldly: "Don't rush, walk slowly at the current speed, and then wait for them to attack" "It's not about sitting still," Hawk took a breath Russell glanced at Char more, and said in a deep voice: "Hawke, don't worry, your lord must have other ideas." ” Char snorted: "Naturally, the idea is there, if you rush through the ambush site, it will not be too difficult." ” When he said this, both Hawke and Russell were a little incredulous, after all, if they encountered hundreds of horse thieves in the wilderness, it would be really difficult to rush through them at the speed of everyone walking, after all, the carriage could not run fast.
Moreover, their side is inferior in numbers, and they still don't know the depth of Char's personal ability, let alone that the young man in front of them is Char Leiming, who was famous in the last war, fought against Hasting, and became famous in the first battle "My idea is to teach these guys who dare to fight Lao Tzu's idea a hard lesson."
Char slammed his fist into the map.
Both of them gasped, only a few Lantis warriors standing next to them had received orders from the Chamber of Commerce before they set off, and they only had to follow the orders of this Lord Char along the way, but at the moment they looked indifferent, anyway, whatever Char said, they would do what they did.
"It's too hard."
Russell shook his head: "We are at a disadvantage, we are lucky to be able to rush through safely, if you want to" "We divide our forces."
Char sneered.
As soon as these words came out, Hawke and Russell were immediately shocked "Russell."
Char looked at the middle-aged man: "You do things the most cautiously and carefully, you take all your people, immediately break away from the brigade, go to the west, look for a water source to get water, about a day's journey to the west, there is a water source, your people walk quickly, I will give you two days, the leather bags and horses in the convoy will give you some, you have fifty people, each with two horses, enough for you to maintain your speed, your task is to get the water back." ” Char smiled: "We were originally small in number, and those horse thieves would never expect us to dare to divide our troops, so even if they would be on guard around, at most they would be scattered rangers of some squads, and they would definitely not be able to stop you." ” Russell listened, his face moved: "My lord, as soon as we leave, there will be Hawk's people left in the team, the number is too small, the other party will attack, you will block" "Stop."
Char smiled proudly, with a look of disdain: "It's just a gang of bandits and horse thieves, hum" Hawke glanced at Char deeply and gritted his teeth: "Char, are you sure?"
Although he is brave, he is not a fool after all, and after Russell's men are gone, there are only a few dozen people left in the team who can fight.
With dozens of people and no horses, it was too difficult to resist the onslaught of hundreds of horse thieves in this wilderness.
Char snorted and laughed: "The horse thief laughed at Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu came out of the Rhoderia Cavalry Regiment, played cavalry with Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu played with them to death" Russell's expression was cloudy, and he finally gritted his teeth: "Okay, you are the customer, since you have made up your mind, we can just do it."
He hesitated for a moment, stared at Char and said slowly: "If you can't do anything, you just run west, and my people will pick you up." ” "No, you don't."
Char shook his head: "You just need to remember that you will come back with water in two days, otherwise, even if we win the horse thief, we will die of thirst without water." ” After speaking, Char glanced at Russell and suddenly smiled: "When you came back, we just happened to be in harmony with the outside and give those guys a little bitterness." ” Russell also showed a bit of decisiveness at this moment, immediately stood up, quickly gathered his men, Char was not ambiguous, and immediately let the horses out, Russell had fifty people, guaranteed one person and two horses, and gave most of the water in the team to Russell's people, and the convoy only left barely enough water for two days.
Russell didn't talk nonsense, he took people directly, got on the horse and broke away from the brigade, and went all the way to the west.
Seeing that Russell was gone, Hawke also went to gather his men to prepare for the war with a gloomy face, and then the Landis people who had been on the side walked up, led by the leader of one of the Gallens Chamber of Commerce in the entourage this time, and said in a low voice: "Lord Char, that Russell, will he take the opportunity to run?"
When Xia Ya heard this, he glanced at this person and said lightly: "If he runs away, then he will also kill himself, and when I go back in the future, I will naturally find him unlucky."
But I think this guy is very smart and probably wouldn't do that. ” Char's words are very confident, after all, his personal strength is there, just a horse thief and the like, if Char didn't take care of such a big convoy, if he was just a horse thief who broke into these rabble, how could he stop him Lantith smiled: "We are not worried at all, Char-sama is not even afraid of Hasting, let alone the little horse thief." ” After a while, Sharpa, who had returned to search the same way, came back with his people, and when Sharba went, he rode six horsemen, but when he came back, there were only three people left, except for Sharba, the other two mercenaries were wounded, and one was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and half of the arrow handle was pierced in the shoulder, and when he ran back, he just jumped off his horse and fell headlong.
Char frowned when he saw it, seeing that Sharpa was safe and sound, but the armor on his body was obviously stained with blood, and he went up and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
Sharpa shook his head, took a breath after dismounting, but sneered: "Hmph, our back road was really cut off, damn, I didn't have to go far with someone to run out, the forest we passed through this morning has been occupied, and before a few of us got close to the forest, the opponent's horse team was killed."
He almost surrounded us, and we lost two people before we were killed, but we didn't let the other party take advantage of it, and Lao Tzu cut off four heads."
After speaking, Sharba snorted fiercely and said disdainfully: "These guys are chattering, rabble, far worse than the reindeer cavalry of the Odin."
If it's our Rhodria regiment, give me a squad and I'll be able to crush those guys. ” After a pause, Sharba lowered his voice before frowning: "Char, these mercenaries' infantry combat skills are not bad, but the skills of horse fighting are too weak, and the two guys who lost were stabbed off their horses by the other party before they took a look."
If you want to rely on these people to overwhelm each other, I don't think it's easy."
Char smiled, didn't say anything, and then asked Sharpa carefully.
After all, Sharba is an old cavalryman in the army, with a lot of experience, and an old cavalryman like him, who had worked as a scout in his early years, knew that he needed to pay attention to those details, and quickly told the information he had observed.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
There are at least more than three hundred people who cut off the back road behind, all of them are horse thieves, and according to Sharpa's evaluation, these horse thieves' equestrian skills are good, if the horse fights, then these mercenaries are definitely not opponents.
After all, cavalry and horse warfare is not about personal martial arts, but about the sophistication of equestrianism.
Moreover, Sharpa also said that there were at least three groups of horse thieves who cut off the back road, under different banners.
When Hawke heard the news, his eyes widened: "Damn, it looks like we're being targeted by a pack of hungry wolves" Although there are many bandit gangs in the wildfire field, but generally speaking, the scale of these bandit groups and horse thieves is not large, generally speaking, there can be a few hundred people, even if it is a big gang, and in a gang, hundreds of people, in addition to the old and weak, women and children, can have dozens of soldiers, even if it is good.
There were actually three flags in the back, and it was obvious that three different horse thieves were united.
"It's such a big deal, there are three groups of people who just cut off our back road, so this time there are not a few guys who are afraid of joining forces to fight our ideas."
Char sneered, and suddenly glanced at Hawke: "What do you think?"
Hawke's expression changed, he thought about it slightly, and suddenly his heart moved, and he scolded: "Damn, those Cossacks, those bastards, those guys were originally horse thieves, you didn't hire them this time, they simply came to eat us, our team is quite numerous, those Cossack regiment people, must have contacted several black gang tribes in the wildfire field, this time we are only facing a group of united hungry wolves" Char nodded: "There are three hundred people who have broken the back road, so I am afraid that the number waiting for us in front is at least about five hundred."
Ha actually dispatched so many people, do they all treat Lao Tzu as a fat sheep?
” Char was right.
He sprinkled gold coins on Wildfire Town, and opened three hundred gold coins to hire mercenary guards, according to the practice of the merchant group, he could see the price of three hundred gold coins to hire guards, so generally speaking, the value of the goods carried was at least dozens of times more, otherwise, wouldn't this business be a big loss It's just that those guys didn't expect that Char didn't carry any precious goods, these dozens of truckloads were just ordinary grain, and they weren't worth much.
However, these horse thieves did not expect that someone would do this kind of loss-making business, although Char was buying food in Wildfire Town, and the horse thieves got the news, and they also thought that the other party was suspicious, maybe they had quietly carried some precious treasure in the convoy.
Carrying heavy treasures and using ordinary goods to cover people's eyes and ears are also the usual tricks of merchants, and those horse thieves only thought that Char was the same, this time such a big fat sheep crossed the border, and there was a Cossack regiment as a liaison, and they actually united all the seven or eight horse thieves with considerable strength near the wildfire field at once These seven or eight horse thieves, with a population of nearly 10,000, can also make up thousands of cavalry And the other party's idea is very clear, if such a big fat sheep can eat Char, guess that the value of the goods carried by Char is at least thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins, such a large windfall, if it is snatched back, it is enough to be worth the harvest of seven or eight horse thieves for two years Hearing Shalpa's report, although Hawke and the others were brave, when they heard about the number of people on the other side, everyone changed color.
After all, there are only dozens of people on his side, and he has to resist the attacks of hundreds or thousands of horse thieves."
Char sneered: "The convoy continues to move forward, these guys will not attack us for the time being, they will wait until we reach the location of the ambush."
No need to speed up, let's take our time. ” Hawke was a little puzzled, and consulted Char with anxiety in his heart, Char had a good impression of this young strong man, and then explained: "Our brigade of people and horses walks, and the carriage convoy walks slowly, if you are in chaos and run around, I am afraid that after the team is chaotic, the other party will take the opportunity to attack, and when the time comes, hundreds of horse thieves will rush up, and we will not be able to resist, it is better to walk slowly, the other party will not attack for the time being, just wait for us to enter their ambush site."
This is called driving sheep into the wolf's den. ” After a pause, the turtle grinned, and a cruel smile appeared on his face: "It's just that this group of wolves didn't expect that what they drove into the nest was not a fat sheep, but a fierce tiger." ” Under Char's orders, the convoy walked even more slowly, and the team maintained a tight queue, one car after another, walking extremely tightly.
The horse thieves behind the broken back became more and more unscrupulous, faintly chasing the horses from behind, anyway, they had already met with Sharba, the horse thieves knew that they had exposed their whereabouts, and they simply did not hide their whereabouts, hundreds of horses were far behind, as if they were escorted all the way, standing in the convoy and looking back, they could see a dense shadow on the distant horizon in the wilderness.
The horse thief was very patient, so he drove behind, waiting for the caravan to enter the ambush site, they were not in a hurry to attack, since it was the ambush site, there were still accomplices waiting, everyone gathered together, and they were more sure to move.
Second, they are not worried about the fat sheep running away.
In the vast wildfire field, dozens of carts, the speed is slow, where there are horse thieves coming and going as fast as the wind Finally, in the afternoon, two long woods appeared in the distance ahead, and the terrain on both sides gradually rose, and the woods covered the slopes, and the carriage convoy was obviously unable to walk, only in the middle of the two slopes, a flat terrain only a few hundred meters wide could pass.
When he came here, Char suddenly ordered: stop everyone Then he was not in a hurry, and ordered dozens of large carts to surround and form a circle on the spot Fifty carts were gathered in a circle, and the tall carriages were connected together, and suddenly it was like a circular city defense, protecting the convoy of more than 200 people in the middle.
The horse thief in the back seemed to be a little surprised.
Seeing that the fat sheep had been driven to the door of the wolf's den, a tortoise formation suddenly appeared in the wilderness "Distribute weapons" Char took advantage of the fact that the horse thieves had not yet reacted, and immediately gathered all the manpower, the accompanying convoy, the coachman and groom were all members of the Gallens business group, and the people in these convoys belonging to the Gallens Chamber of Commerce seemed to be very disciplined, and there was no chaos, but they were quite calm, and these convoys that walked in the wild all the year round, the coachmen and grooms were used to seeing this kind of scene, although many people were panicked in their hearts, but they were generally calm.
Char directly ordered the people of the Fire Rhino Regiment and the Lantis warriors to divide some weapons for these coachmen and grooms, and selected dozens of sturdy and simple armies, at least so that each person could have a sword in his hand, which was enough.
The Landis were excellent marksmen, and Char simply used them as archers, and the thirty Lantis warriors gave up their melee weapons, leaving only bows and arrows, which were deployed in the innermost part of the circular defensive line.
The warriors of the Fire Rhino Regiment led fifty armed coachmen and grooms to the inside of the line of carriages.
Char did not block the circular defense line to death, but deliberately left a small gap, which was not big, only three or four meters wide, such a narrow passage, as long as there was a fierce general like Char blocking there, even hundreds of people on the other side would be difficult to rush in.
After Char finished setting up, the people below were a little dazed.
Even Hawke didn't understand Char's intentions a little In this wilderness, what is the use of putting up this turtle formation Although this circular defensive array is best suited to resist the charge of horse thieves, their own side is already short of water, and those horse thieves are not stupid, if they just wait outside and do not attack, it would be bad to consume us alive "No, it won't."
Char's expression was calm, his eyes calmed, at this moment, he naturally exuded a calm and killing smell, glanced at Hawke, and sneered: "Those horse thieves will take the initiative to attack us when they move, we can't afford it, and they can't afford it."
"Why" Char smiled: "There are so many horse thieves, people eat horses and chew, even if they can carry a few water bags per person, but the food can never be carried with them, the other party has hundreds of people, people eat horses and chews, they can't carry much food, Lao Tzu But those who have been cavalry, even if the elite cavalry in the army has a long-distance attack, it can only guarantee the combat effectiveness of three days, and if the time is longer, there is no way to guarantee the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, although the people eat less, but the horses can eat a lot, and a horse has to use up at least twenty catties of forage a day, If you don't bring feed, just let the horse eat wild grass, hum, at most two days, the horse will not have the strength to run, the horse needs to carry a lot of feed, if it takes a day, they themselves will run out of food, I don't believe it, these horse thieves come out to rob, and everyone carries dozens of catties of food" Char pointed to his convoy: "Our food is sufficient, dozens of truckloads of food, and the consumption can also exceed them, so they will definitely attack first."
Sure enough, as soon as Char's voice fell, the ambush soldiers and horse thieves lurking in the mountains and forests in front of him couldn't bear the surname.
After a whistle, a large number of horse thieves came out of the woods on both sides, and these horse thieves were in a swarm of bees from the woods on both sides, and suddenly countless frightened birds flew over the trees.
Seeing the group of horses running out of the forest, although they were chaotic, but from a distance, there were so many collars, which also surprised Char and the others.
Even Shalpa, standing on the carriage and looking into the distance, couldn't help but scold: "There are only seven or eight hundred horsemen who are so fucking" The ambush soldiers in front and the cut off back road, the total number of these horse thieves has exceeded a thousand Although these horse thieves looked chaotic, obviously with different banners, they were only afraid of playing a dozen different banners, and they obviously belonged to more than ten different mountains.
Moreover, the mounts of these horse thieves, although they are known as "horse thieves", are far inferior to the cavalry in the army.
The horse thieves only have a few elites, and they ride war horses of decent quality, but how expensive the war horses are, these horse thieves naturally can't afford to equip them, and most of the horse thieves can get a horse to ride.
These guys are also equipped differently, and the good and the bad are all different.
Some horse thieves wore leather armor from the Byzantine Emperor, but the styles were different, some were in the outfit of the standing army, some were in the style of the local garrison, and what was even more ridiculous was that some horse thieves did not know where to get the leather armor of the infantry, which was also put on their bodies in a mess.
It's pretty elite.
Most of the horse thieves do not have the financial resources to equip armor, many horse thieves are wrapped in thick cotton robes, the cotton robes are soaked in oil, quite tough, but also have a certain defensive ability, weapons are also mottled and messy, some make spears, some make long knives, some use long swords, most of the horse thieves, it is good to be able to get a spear with a wooden handle.
As for the defense, only a very small number of horse thieves were equipped with shields, and most of them were wooden shields.
And the archers belong to the technical class, but I don't see a few.
Seeing that the other party did not have any archers, Char was half determined.

The other party saw that Char's group had arranged a car formation, although this turtle formation had good defense, but it also blocked its own way, and the horse thieves had nothing to fear, so the two groups quickly gathered together.
Suddenly from a distance, thousands of horse thieves are connected, although it is still chaotic, but people shout and neigh, thousands of cattle run back and forth in the wilderness, horse thieves keep whistling and shouting, make intimidating sounds to frighten the people inside, suddenly the loess trampled by the horses' hooves on the wilderness is all over the sky, for a time, thousands of horse thieves gathered together, the momentum is also very amazing I saw the loess rolling, a large black area of horse thieves running, and the sound of horses' hooves was dense like the muffled thunder of summer The people in this convoy, even the warriors in the Fire Rhino Mercenary Group, have seen dozens of people and hundreds of people in Ou Dou at most, but where have they seen this kind of scene of thousands of troops and horses, everyone changed for a while, and even Hawke himself, his face turned a little blue.
Char looked at these people around him, and shook his head in his heart: This is not good, the other party is of course a rabble, Lao Tzu's current gang of people is not elite, the other party is more powerful and strong, if it goes on like this, we will have no morale before the fight.
He made up his mind, and suddenly he strode over and split open a long box that he had carried in the carriage Inside that box was a set of armor and two horse battle chief weapons, which were the good things that I got from the palace arsenal when I was in Yanjing.
Char picked up a prism hammer, then grabbed the axe and threw it to Sharpa, turned over on his horse, and laughed wildly: "Sergeant Sharpa" Sharpa standing in the carriage suddenly heard Char shouting with the name of the army, and immediately instinctively straightened up and shouted: "Sergeant Sharpa is here" "The enemy is provoking, what should we Rodrians do" Sharpa's face suddenly showed a fierce look: "Kill" "Good" Char laughed wildly, and the laughter suddenly overshadowed the noise of the thousands of horse thieves in the distance, he stood tall, his waist was straight as if he were praised, his eyebrows were provocative, his eyes were like electricity, and he shouted: "The cavalry obeys the order."
Sharpa shouted loudly, turned over and got out of the cart, quickly ran to the side, and put on the set of hill armor, originally this hill armor was heavy, even if it was worn by cavalry, it also needed to be accompanied by a servant to help, fortunately, there was also a Duoduo Luo in the team who was used to Char's obedience, Duoduolu ran out of the team at this moment, helping Sharpa put on the set of hill armor, Sharba laughed, turned over on his horse, grabbed the heavy axe gun, and then pounded it on the chest armor with one hand, and shouted proudly: " Captain Rodria Cavalry Regiment The whole team has been integrated" Although there are only two of them at this moment, Char and Sharba's faces are arrogant, and they drink and answer, but they seem to have the momentum of thousands of troops, as if they are not just two people here, but the famous Rhodria cavalry brigade "Get on the horse and charge with me" After Char turned over and got on his horse, Sharpa had already ridden to Char's side, and the two were side by side, looking at each other, and they both smiled proudly.
As soon as Hawke below heard Char say "Rush into battle", his expression immediately changed, and he shouted: "My lord, the other party has thousands."
Char didn't even pay attention to Hawke at the moment, he kicked the horse's belly, and the horse took two steps forward, and suddenly burst into a loud shout "Rodria" The sharpa behind him was full of excitement, as if his eyes were red, and he immediately mustered all his strength and roared loudly: "Forward" The two rushed out of the gap in the car formation like a whirlwind, although they were only two people and two horses, they had a fierce momentum of courage Especially when the slogan "Rodria Forward" was shouted, even the mercenary warriors next to him, although they were shocked in their hearts, couldn't help but feel a feeling of excitement and enthusiasm Char and Sharpa rushed out of the array with two horses, and suddenly the two of them lay on horseback, the standard cavalry charging posture, the two horses rolled out, the iron hooves were clanging, and the armor was shining in the sun Although it was only two horses, they were closely side by side, maintaining the tight formation of the standard cavalry charge The team of thousands of horse thieves in front of them was like a dark cloud, but the two of them turned a blind eye and slammed into the queue of thousands of horse thieves head-on Hawke behind was stunned at first, and then seemed to suddenly wake up, as if he had been slashed in the face, he jumped up suddenly, flew onto the roof of the carriage, stared at the lonely two horsemen with wide eyes, but with a momentum like a thunderbolt, he slammed into the enemy's thousands of cavalry Hawke's face turned red, even the muscles at the corners of his eyes were trembling, and his whole body was trembling with excitement "One ride is a thousand mothers, this is the legend of one ride when a thousand Rodria iron horses" rumble Seeing that the lone two horsemen directly inserted into the enemy's thousands of queues, the horse thief team like a dark cloud immediately completely engulfed the figures of Char and Sharpa, and the two of them pierced into the enemy's queue like a sharp needle, and immediately disappeared I saw the team of horse thieves in the distance shouting to kill the sky, as far as the eye could see, people turned on their horses, and a few horse thieves in front of him were at the head of Char, and they were directly broken through by Char alone, and before they could see each other, they were directly defeated Sharpa, who was behind, followed Char, and his long axe and spear swept across the area, and the flesh and blood flew in an instant The blood-colored red wave was soon covered by the dust, and Char's two horses were like a stone thrown into the river.
Hawke's heart was beating like a drum, the blood in his whole body seemed to be surging to the top of his head, his face was red, and he suddenly felt a sense of shame in his heart that he had always been pretentious and brave, but just now Char and the two rode into battle, where did he have such courage Seeing that Char's figure was gone, Hawke was anxious, and suddenly a hand reached out beside him and pressed it on his shoulder, and when he looked back, it was Char's subordinate named Philip.
"He'll be fine."
Philip had a complicated expression.
A moment later, I heard a sudden commotion from among the horse thieves, and in the distance I saw in the chaos of the cavalry, a horse thief's banner suddenly fell, and then centered on that place, the horse thieves suddenly scattered in all directions, and in the midst of the chaos, the two horsemen suddenly came out of the crowd Everywhere I went, there were waves of blood Char rode in front, covered in blood, holding a prism hammer in one hand and a bloody human head in the other Sharpa followed behind him, his hair and beard covered in blood, and his bright armor showing scarlet The two broke out of the queue of horse thieves, and saw that they had run more than ten paces, and the horse thieves behind them chased them out in a chaotic manner, Char suddenly roared, and actually did not run back directly, but suddenly turned around on horseback and turned to the dozens of horse thieves chasing behind I saw him sweeping over with a hammer, and suddenly three or five horse thieves were swept out of the horse's back, and the broken arm and stumps were thrown, and Char broke into the opponent's array again like a fierce tiger This time, the dozens of horse thieves who were chasing suddenly shouted, and then a swarm of overtaken and dispersed, Char actually rushed into the queue of horse thieves again, this time it was a mess, everywhere he went, the waves of people rolled on both sides, seeing that he and Sharba were invincible, and crashed into the team of horse thieves, this time it was another horse thief's banner that quickly fell, shouting to kill the sky A moment later, Char struck out from the other side of the thief queue, this time his armor was cut in many places, and some scraps of flesh hung on his body, and his whole body was murderous, like a killing god The two horsemen rushed out of the horse procession and came back, and this time the horse thieves were numerous, but none of them dared to chase after them Char and Sharpa galloped back, rushed into the formation, stopped their horses, threw the hammer to the ground, wiped the blood from their faces, laughed wildly, and looked back at Shalpa, "How".
Sharpa was panting, but he was still straight, but he was wounded, the shoulder armor was cut off, and he was stabbed in one thigh.
Sharba turned over and dismounted, although he was injured, but he also wiped the blood on his face, raised his eyebrows, and laughed wildly: "It's just that these guys are too weak to be happy" Char laughed, rolled over and dismounted, untied a bloody head from the saddle and threw it on the ground Hawke stepped forward and saw that the head was none other than the head of the Cossack mercenary regiment "I met in the formation, and I cut it with my hand" Char smiled proudly, but this time his eyes swept over, but Hawke's whole body trembled, although he was brave, but at this moment, he seemed to be pressed by Char's momentum, and he didn't dare to look directly into the other party's eyes At this moment, Char's whole body was stained with blood, and his armor was full of bloody minced meat, which immediately shocked everyone After a while, there was a thunderous cheer There is such a brave killing god on his side, and he is afraid of some little horse thief Seeing that the queue of horse thieves in the distance was killed by Char after two people came in and out, they had already become a mess, and it took a full hour to complete the rectification, and the momentum of the horse thieves was obviously much weaker, although they were still shouting and scolding and threatening, but the momentum was obviously not as confident as before.
Seeing that the head was westward, seven or eight horsemen suddenly rushed out of the horse thief team, led by a majestic man with a fierce face, a bare head, a face full of meat, a long axe in his hand, and iron armor on his chest, obviously the leader of which group of horse thieves.
These seven or eight horsemen rushed to the front of the car formation, and did not dare to approach from a distance, and the bald man led by him shouted loudly: "That guy in the daytime, come out to die and you kill my brother, Lao Tzu will take your life" At this moment, Char was sitting under the carriage resting, his armor was stained with blood but he had not changed it, and his body was covered with the smell of blood, his appearance, even Hawke, who had been quite speculative with him in the past few days, was in awe and did not dare to approach him.
As soon as Char heard the exchange outside, he looked up and smiled at the road, turned over and got on his horse and ran out of the car formation to the front of the formation.
Although the bald man on the other side was fierce, when he saw Xia Ya running out, seeing that Xia was covered in blood, he couldn't help but feel weak, but then he became angry and shouted: "Do you dare to fight with Lao Tzu with three hundred axes."
Char laughed wildly, didn't speak, suddenly kicked the horse's belly, and rushed head-on, the bald and fierce man was still shouting, but Char had already rushed to the front, hurriedly raised the axe and cut the axe in Char's hand The hammer was randomly blocked, and he saw the axe fly out of his hand, the bald man screamed in pain, and his arm made a cluck, obviously Char's strange power was there, not only did he take off his weapon, but even his bones were broken Char rushed to the front, hammered down, and directly smashed his bald head into a pulp, and then coldly looked at the horse thieves next to him, and suddenly grinned, the horse thieves' faces were like earth, and they shouted, and they all turned around and ran back, and Char pushed the other party's entity off the horse Char stood on his horse, and then shouted at the team of horse thieves opposite: "Who else doesn't want to live" He broke off his drink, after all, there are fierce people among the horse thieves, and suddenly a horse thief leader rushed out with a few cronies, and the people who came rushed on horseback, screaming wildly.
Char's face was indifferent, and he suddenly rode on his horse, took off the Gathering Roaring Bow, and pulled out an iron-spine armor-piercing arrow with his backhand With a bang, an arrow was shot over, and suddenly the red light was great, and the horse thief leader who was running was hit directly by a red light from the horse's back and flew backwards, and the person was in mid-air, and the upper half of the body above the waist of the whole person had burst open, and it was rotten into a mess of minced meat, and half of the corpse fell to the ground The rest of the people were immediately shocked, and they turned their horses and ran back Xia Ya stood there, holding a longbow, deliberately laughing, and proudly rode a horse and ran back and forth in front of the opponent's formation, and then slowly went back, thousands of horse thieves, but none of them dared to chase In the middle of the carriage, Hawke stood in the carriage with a pair of red eyes and looked at the figure of Chara outside, and suddenly slammed his fist on the carriage, and said fiercely.
"One ride to block a thousand turns out to be a fierce general who rides to block a thousand, there really exists damn, Lao Tzu is a self-appointed hero, this is the real hero" Char ran back into the car formation, turned over and dismounted, and suddenly a figure pounced next to him, kneeling in front of Char, Hawke's face was full of fanaticism, his eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, pulled out the short sword he was wearing, cut his thumb with a sword, and then wiped it on his forehead, leaving a trace of blood Many mercenaries next to him couldn't help but be horrified when they saw it This is clearly the highest standard of propriety in the wildfire field If Char is willing to wipe the blood off the other party's forehead at this moment, then it means that he is willing to accept the other party's contribution "Boss" "Hawke" Many people exclaimed, but Hawke turned his head and glared at those people fiercely, and then turned around, the young man stared at Char with wide eyes, his eyes flashing, full of urgency and fanaticism.
Char's face was grim, and he looked at this Hawke condescendingly, and then a majestic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he walked over, stretched out his hand gently, and wiped it lightly on Hawke's forehead.
Hawke's eyes showed a warm look, as if he was finally relieved.
When he stood up, his expression was much more respectful: "My lord, you are so brave, you must not be an ordinary person in the army, please tell me your true identity, and let me understand which hero I Hawke has served."
Char didn't speak, and Sharba on the side suddenly laughed: "He is Char Thundering, in the last war, he personally killed Prince Odin and led a thousand remnants of the army to fight against Hasting's ten thousand iron horsemen, it is him" ` To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
