Russell ran all over his face with sweat, and although it was early spring, his head was not strong, but he was tired and out of breath after running on his horse for a short time.
What's more, the fatigue of this body is still secondary, and at this moment, Russell's heart is as anxious as a flame He led his subordinates out of the brigade and ran out to find water, what did that adult have in mind With Russell's rich experience, he already had a faint feeling in his heart that this attack was unusual for daring to attack such a large convoy, and those horse thieves had always been informed, and they might have hidden eyeliner in Wildfire Town.
Knowing that there are two mercenary groups guarding them, and they still dare to do it, then they must be in a lot of trouble when they think about it now.
After taking the people away, where did the confidence of the remaining dozens of people come from if they could cope with the attack of the horse thief?
Take water, take water Damn it, even if you get water, what's the use of the brigade being crushed by those horse thieves For a moment, Russell only thought that he must be crazy, and would actually believe that "adult" who was too young to speak, well, I must be crazy, that kid is younger than Hawke, and he knows how many truths are so blind and arrogant, I am afraid that maybe he has been defeated by the horse thief now Dozens of me went back and forth to find water, and it was a waste of effort But then I thought about it, when the young adult made a decision, his expression was calm, his expression was resolute, and the last time he fought with the Odin, Russell had seen the Byzantine army passing by in Wildfire Town, and those Byzantine elite standing regiments, those senior officers, faintly looked so magical, full of sharpness, and at the same time implied that the majesty looked at the adult, but it did not look like frivolous arrogance.
Could it be that he really has a way to block the attack of the horse thief with the number of dozens of people, against ten times and dozens of times the horse thief, and even for a moment, Russell couldn't help but think: Why don't you just take people away Anyway, before setting off from Wildfire Town this time, the young adult had already given half of the payment, and now he has two horses per person, with such conditions, he will take the southwest non-stop, and then go around in a circle back to Wildfire Town, relying on the mobility of the two horses, he will definitely be able to run out of the interception circle of the horse thief It's almost a certainty To run or not to run Russell's mind has been weighing and hesitating.
If you run, you will already get the money anyway, and you will get fifty horses out of thin air, which can be regarded as a big profit.
But in this way, it is too despicable and cowardly.
But if you don't run, even if you find water and run back, you will be sent to death Seeing that his head is westward, Russell suddenly shouted immediately: "Stop" As soon as he shouted, the fifty mercenaries under his command immediately reined in their horses and stopped, and everyone was sweating at this moment, and someone asked: "Commander, what, do you want to rest?"
"Change horses" Russell had a gloomy face, and originally wanted to say "turn around", but when the words came to his mouth, after all, the pride in his heart and the principles of life did not allow him to do so, and finally sighed in his heart: Forget it, just accompany the young adult to go crazy once, it's a big deal If they go back, they have been defeated, and it will not be too late for me to run away with people, anyway, I have two horses here, and if I really want to escape, I may not be able to escape.
"Change horses for horses" The mercenary group shouted loudly, and then jumped off their horses one by one and changed into reserve horses.
These mercenaries are very tired, after all, they are not cavalry, nor are they horse thieves.
Although he can also ride a horse, his riding skills are too bad, and he can barely ride a horse and gallop, as for some advanced riding skills, such as how to save horsepower, how to save physical strength, etc., he will not be able to do it at all.
As soon as some mercenaries galloped, they held the horse's neck with both hands, but the person was not tired to death, but almost exhausted the horse first.
But all the cavalrymen with excellent riding skills know how to conserve their physical strength to the maximum extent on their horses when they walk long distances, and these mercenaries are tense one by one, their legs are tightly clamped between the horse's belly, and their physical strength is extremely exertional.
Even if I changed horses, my speed slowed down for a while.
Fortunately, what made Russell's heart feel a little relieved was that there were no horse thieves blocking the way to the west, and obviously those horses did not expect their side to dare to divide their troops to walk.
There is indeed a water source in the west, but the distance from the brigade is too far, and it will take two days for the fast horses to gallop back and forth, and if it is the speed of the brigade of chariots and horses moving slowly, I am afraid that it will not be able to reach it in six or seven days.
Therefore, the horse thief is not afraid that the brigade on his side will be temporarily rerouted.
Russell was anxious and kept urging his subordinates to speed up, but after all, these mercenaries were not good at riding, no matter how Russell urged, the speed of the group could no longer be faster, and after barely walking for a while, some of his subordinates couldn't help but complain: "Commander, I really can't run, let's stop and rest." ” Russell's face was gloomy, and he shouted: "Nonsense, you guys are probably too idle lately, and your bones are lazy, and you can't bear this idea?"
In fact, he himself is not lightly tired, although his martial arts skills are extraordinary, but after all, he is over forty years old, his physical strength is not as good as before, and he is not good at riding horses.
Running all the way down, the two legs were sore and painful, especially the inner thighs, rubbing on the saddle for an afternoon, it was already a hot pain, and his body was almost falling apart on the horse's back, but as the head of the regiment, he had to set an example, otherwise even he would complain, let alone restrain his subordinates.
Seeing the regiment commander scolding, his subordinates complained: "Regiment commander, it's not that the brothers are lazy, the brothers follow you to the north and south, what hardships haven't been suffered, but we are not cavalry after all, this horseback gallops for a long time, and it is already hard to run to this point, and if you run down, people and horses are not good, so let's stop and rest."
Russell saw that sure enough, many of his mercenaries were already crumbling on horseback, but he was very strict with his subordinates, so no one dared to leave behind to rest.
At this moment, many of the hands were pale, and they had obviously run out of strength, and even many horses were foaming at the mouth.
"Okay" Russell gritted his teeth fiercely, and gave an order helplessly, but he was unwilling in his heart after all, and suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance, and saw that on the horizon in the distance, he could faintly see a small hill with a mountain bag, covered with a forest up and down, Russell's heart moved, and he shouted: "Okay, run to the forest in front, just stop to make a fire and eat, everyone is working harder, and it will be there soon" After such an agitation, he urged his mercenaries to run forward a little further.
The mountain bag in the distance looks like it is not far away, but after all, there is a saying called "looking at the mountain and running a dead horse", and seeing that the mountain bag that seems to be not far away, it took half an hour to arrive.
As soon as they arrived at the forest, this time without waiting for Russell's order, all the mercenaries turned over and dismounted, and some of them threw themselves on the ground, and even the horses were not bolted, so they couldn't get up immediately.
Russell was furious, and whipped a few times with his whip, urging his men to reluctantly get up and lead the horses, and then slowly entered the forest.
They did not go deeper, but stopped at the edge of the woods, and then they sent out men to dig the pits, and the branches of the branches, and the fires.
Russell walked to the side, leaned against a big tree, naturally a henchman brought food, he ate a few bites indiscriminately and lost his appetite, but took out the water bag and poured it down in one go, only to feel that the burning feeling in his heart had subsided a little.
He let out a long sigh, looking at his subordinates who were already tired and lying in a mess, and his heart was also worried.
When he was resting, Russell opened his pants and saw that a blister had already been ground out on the inner thigh, and the blister had already worn out, and the blood and pants were stuck together.
He sighed, after all, his people used to accompany the caravan on foot, and the fact of riding a horse was too rare.
After all, a horse is an expensive piece of equipment, and feeding a horse that is not too good is not the cost of a trained war horse, it is enough to feed three or four strong men.
Their mercenary group earns hard-earned money, where is there any spare money to equip the horses used before they came out this time, they were all borrowed by Char and the Gallens Chamber of Commerce.
Russell rested for a while, took a breath, recovered a little bit of energy, and the accustomed surname looked towards the vigilance of the surname, his subordinates were tired, and he had run far here, but he was not worried about encountering a horse thief ambush, so everyone stopped to rest, they were so tired that they were about to lie down, and they couldn't even take care of the routine sending people to guard and search around, although Russell had the intention to urge people to send people to the surrounding guards, but seeing that his subordinates were all shaky, he really couldn't make this ruthless heart: That's it, just slack off once, Nothing may happen.
But when he looked around at this moment, this forest was gloomy and seemed to be quiet, but the vigilance that Russell had cultivated over the years of his mercenary career seemed to immediately feel that something was wrong.
This kind of vigilance in his heart is not an inexplicable feeling, Russell knows very well that this kind of vigilance has saved his life countless times, and he must have instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but he was physically and mentally exhausted at the moment, and he didn't think about what was wrong for a while, but the instinct he had cultivated over the years had already reminded him one step ahead Thinking of this, Russell stood up strongly, holding on to the tree, squinting his eyes into the forest, thinking hard in his heart, and in an instant, his face changed wildly Wrong wrong Such a large forest, naturally there must be a lot of birds inhabiting the woods, but such a large group of people ran in, people shouted horses neighing, if it was an ordinary wild forest, there should have been a large number of birds also alarmed to fly But these people have been in for a long time, but they have seen any frightened birds anywhere So the only explanation is that the birds in the woods here have flown away long before their own people arrived, as for why they flew away, naturally there are many people here long before their own people, and those people are only afraid that they are in the woods at this moment The more Russell thought about it, the clearer his thinking became, and under the wild change of his face, he immediately pulled out his long sword with a swipe and shouted: "Everyone get up and form a police" Before he could shout, he suddenly heard a whistle from the woods, and the sound of whistles sounded from three directions at the same time, and then he heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves galloping in several directions in the woods, and at the same time, dozens of shadows rushed out of the woods The riders who were ambushed in the woods were very skilled, and although the woods were not too dense, the gaps between the trees were not too wide.
But the hundred and ten horsemen who rushed out of it came quickly in the cracks of the trees, as agile as apes, and they were obviously elite horsemen with excellent riding skills One hundred and ten rode through the woods and galloped quickly, but it was as if it was on the plain, the speed was not slow at all, Russell didn't say a word yet, and the rider who ran in front had almost rushed to the eyelids of everyone At this moment, the sky had darkened, and when I saw these dozens of cavalry galloping out of the woods and rushing up like ghosts, I only heard the dull movement of the horses' hooves, but no one shouted that the horses neighed These guys rushed to their faces like ghosts, and they were simply ghostly in the night The mercenaries were immediately alarmed, many people jumped up with rolling and crawling, and some people rushed to get weapons, but these original riders quickly rushed into the mercenary group, and soon made a few interspersed divisions, dividing dozens of mercenaries into pieces, the riders on the horse bent down slightly, and did not see what weapons were used, and quickly knocked down the mercenaries one by one, and some riders rushed over, the two side by side, and then quickly dispersed, opened a large net and threw it out, Immediately, three or five mercenaries were directly netted in it, and with the power of the horses, the mercenaries were directly rushed down In less than a moment, Russell was horrified to find that his fifty subordinate mercenaries were all defeated by the other party, and the other party did not seem to have killing intent, but those guys on horseback scattered a piece of things like fishing nets, and their own people became fish in the net Russell saw that he was frightened and annoyed, and he frantically drew his sword and rushed out, roaring loudly, and slashing at the passing cavalry, but these riders seemed to be very cunning, knowing that he was the leader, and ran back and forth with a horse, but did not fight with him, but threw a few nets from afar, Russell's long sword shook, and immediately cut a few nets, and roared loudly, but those cavalry ran away as soon as they turned off their horses, and did not confront him head-on.
At this moment, Russell had seen the appearance of these riders clearly, and his heart was even colder These riders were not uniformly dressed, some wore cotton robes, some wore leather jackets, and some wore leather armor cuirasses, which was simply a standard horse thief Still ambushed by these horse thieves Seeing that all his subordinates were knocked down, struggling in the net, there was no doubt that it was a group annihilation, Russell's hands and feet were cold, his heart was desperate, he couldn't help but roar sadly, and pounced on his sword, he already had a desperate thought When the riders saw him pounce, they pushed away with a hula and moved far away, and their movements were sharp and swift, and they heard the mocking laughter of the opposing rider in the darkness in the distance: "Don't worry, don't worry, you left it for our little leader." ” As soon as these words came, I heard a voice full of anger from the woods: "You are the leader, I will meet you" Before the words fell, he saw a majestic figure running out of the woods, with a faint light, Russell barely saw the person who came, and when he saw the figure of the other party, he was stunned and reminded that the person who came was extremely majestic, three points taller than the Hawke of the Fire Rhino Regiment he knew, with long hair scattered, showing wildness, holding a two-handed heavy sword, wearing armor, but his face was covered with iron, covering his face.
This majestic figure pounced up, and immediately Russell felt a gust of wind in the face, the heavy broadsword in the other party's hand was chopped down, Russell gritted his teeth, and the horizontal sword went to block, and he heard a sonorous sound, and immediately felt as if he was directly hit by the hammer of the ancient giant, Russell felt the bells and drums in his ears, and suddenly his whole body was like an electric shock, and the bones made a clicking sound, and the long sword made of stainless steel in his hand had been directly broken, and a good sword, under the other party's split, directly turned into a folding ruler shape That's a lot of strength Russell's palm was in great pain, the tiger's mouth had been cracked, and even his wrist was directly injured, Teng Teng took a few steps back, standing unsteadily, and his opponent smiled disdainfully: "It turns out that this is only this ability" After speaking, he took the sword with his backhand, but pointed at Russell's chest with the hilt of the sword, although it was only the hilt of the sword, but if it was pointed at this time, with the strength of the other party, Russell was sure that his sternum would probably be knocked off He was shocked in his heart, and desperately moved back to dodge, after all, he had good martial arts skills, a few dodges, the other party missed three shots in a row, and couldn't help but snort, and said angrily: "The body is quite agile, but blindly dodge, and you can't hurt the enemy, do you expect to use this way to dodge and exhaust the enemy to death?"
Russell said this, his face was red suddenly, at this moment, he saw that all his subordinates were caught, his heart was horizontal, he bent down and pulled out the dagger in his boots, and suddenly rolled on the spot, and he stuck to the other party, and saw the other party's giant sword slash down, he didn't care about it, but he just had a desperate plan, even if a sword was hacked to death by the other party, he had to stab this guy hard The man suddenly laughed: "There is still a little backbone." ” After speaking, he didn't see how the other party moved, Russell felt that he hit his head on a hard iron wall, looked up, and suddenly felt a pain in his palm, the opponent's giant sword slapped the back of his hand with the side of the blade, although the other party had reserved strength, but this time, it almost broke Russell's hand, and then a strong bump over, Russell flew out, and after landing, three or four horse thieves next to him pounced, wiped their shoulders and back, and directly tied Russell with ropes.
Russell sighed in his heart: just accept your fate It's just that he was horrified in his heart, most of the horse thieves gang on the wildfire field knew their names, although there were also a few hard-nosed guys, but he hadn't heard of a strong man with such strength in front of him, and he easily took himself down in three or two faces, as if he was far from having the ability to go all out, not to mention those horse thieves on the wildfire field, I am afraid that the entire Byzantine Empire can't find a few Thinking of this, Russell simply scolded loudly: "Okay, you won, Lao Tzu admitted, but this time you were driven by those Cossack guys, do you really have good intentions when you are a Cossack bastard, those convoys are from the Gallens Chamber of Commerce, you should also know that if you rob the things of the Gallens Chamber of Commerce, what trouble will you cause, and that adult, he is a member of the Rhodria Cavalry Regiment, if you dare to do this, you will wait for the retaliation of the Rhodrian Cavalry Regiment in the future."
After saying that, Russell closed his eyes and waited for death.

After saying this, he didn't wait for the expected butcher's knife to fall, and was silent for a while, the majestic master of the other party suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and the voice of the urn under the mask came: "What kind of mess are you talking about, what Cossack horse thieves, what Gallens Chamber of Commerce hum, for so many years, those Cossack guys are still doing black and black indecent deeds, cutting garbage is garbage" After speaking, the other party slowly walked in front of Russell, raised his leg and kicked Russell to the ground, staring at Russell with two lightning-like eyes under the iron mask, and sneered: "Listen to your words, it seems that some of you have been robbed by the Cossacks, or the people in the army, the Raudrian Cavalry Regiment is worthy of these loose guys under you, and also deserves to be the person who claims to be the Rhodella Cavalry Regiment, don't think I don't know you, you are Russell, I heard your name in my early years." ” Russell snorted and his eyes widened: "You've heard my name, you're not from the Cossack gang."
"It's not."
The other party shook his head, as if he smiled: "You are lucky, if you met us a few days ago, you would have cut you down with a sword, but now I have sworn not to be a horse thief, but we are resting in this woods, and you broke in."
You Russell is also so famous, why do you do things so wastefully into the forest and don't send people to search for the vigilance hum" "Who are you" Russell hurriedly asked: "Since you are not one of those Cossacks, please let me go, I admit it, since it is in your hands, it's a big deal that I will pay the ransom, but there are still people waiting for us to save our lives, if we can't go back, I'm afraid that Lord Char, they will be in danger."
The other party listened and smiled disdainfully: "I don't care about your affairs, let you go, it's not impossible, when we set off tomorrow morning, we will naturally release you before leaving, as for tonight, you will be honest first" The man seemed to be careless, and when he said this, his eyes suddenly changed, and his eyes burst out with a fiery light, and he suddenly roared, and grabbed Russell fiercely: "What did you just say, Lord Char, you tell me which Lord Char it is?"
Russell was grabbed by the neck, suddenly had difficulty breathing, his face was flushed, and he struggled a few times, the other party's fingers were slightly loosened, and his tone was full of anxiety and anger: "You carefully explain that the Cossacks want to eat black, and it is Char who is going on with him, where is he" Russell had no choice but to grit his teeth and tell the story roughly, the other party seemed very excited, and asked a few more words about what the "Char-sama" looked like, Russell also said it truthfully, and even the appearance of several entourages around Char, Dodora, Sharpa, and Philip was not bad.
After hearing this, the other party seemed to be stunned for a while, and then abruptly threw away Russell and threw Russell aside I saw this majestic guy looking up to the sky and scolding: "Bastard, bastard, Bastard, Cossack, those bastards, bastards, actually dared to move Char's idea, the old lady cut them" Old, old lady Hearing the other party call himself like this, Russell almost didn't faint.
The master was furious, and this anger really roared like thunder: "Everyone is dressed up and slashed with the old lady."
Many of his subordinates roared in response, and a whistle blew, and suddenly a hundred and ten horsemen rushed out of the forest Such a scene made Russell look surprised, the other party had a total of more than 200 horsemen, lurking in the woods, and there was no movement, such an act, I am afraid that the elite cavalry troops of the Byzantine Empire are like this And seeing that the other horse's cavalry came out, every horse covered its mouth, thinking that it was to hide its tracks in the forest, no wonder when his own people entered the forest, they didn't hear any movement Russell was thinking nonsense, and suddenly he was caught by the master again, like a chicken, and threw it on the back of a horse.
"You show us the way, cut down those Cossacks, and rescue Char-sama" Although Russell's head was in a mess at the moment, he still understood this sentence, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise on the horse: "Ah you, may I ask who you are?"
"I" The other party smiled proudly, turned over on the horse, and puffed up his chest: "The old lady is the fiancée of Lord Char, his future wife" thump Russell fell from his horse again The other party was obviously very annoyed, and grabbed him again and threw him on horseback, shouting: "Why do you sit down with such pus and then fall down, I will cut you" After speaking, she waved her hand: "All the brothers line up with me to cut down people, Cossacks, those bastards want to kill my husband, what do you say?"
The people at the bottom responded: "Cut fuck" "Okay, go fuck chop Cossack bastards, fuck fuck" More than 200 sabers were raised, and suddenly the snow was bright Russell, who was riding on a horse, was determined, but immediately felt that none of the things he had experienced in his life could be as rare as what he encountered today.
He was dazzled by the more than two hundred sabers, and couldn't help but secretly look at the "Char-sama's wife" again.
Suddenly, Russell felt a trace of pity in his heart, alas, Lord Char is also a poor person.
There were bursts of "slash and fuck" shouts, and more than 200 riders swept out like a raging wind To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
