Although it was already dark night, the surrounding horse thieves lit torches, illuminating the night as if it were day, and thousands of horse thieves surrounded the chariots of Char and others, looking at each other in the night, the torches lit up like a coiled python.
By night, Char and the others had repelled three attacks by horse thieves.
The attack of the horse thief caused the most damage and pressure to Char and the others in the first wave.
The horse thieves rushed up in a swarm, and the number of horse thieves in the first wave was about two hundred, Char stood on the carriage and watched the enemies rushing over, but made an unbelievable decision He ordered all the Lantis archers to be on standby, not firing a single arrow As a result, the horse thieves easily rushed to the front of the car formation, because the surrounding cart only left a gap, so the horse thieves could not invest too many people in each attack, they could only crowd in the gap and rush in, the rest of the horse thieves gave up their horses, and tried to climb over the carriage on foot, but were stabbed down one by one by the mercenaries of the Fire Rhino Mercenary Regiment who were waiting behind the carriage, and only a few brave horse thieves successfully jumped into the car formation, but they were hacked to death by the coachmen who had been waiting for a long time.
The battle for the gap in the car formation is the highest level, but there is the existence of Char's fierce man, he is alone, the left hand is a hammer, the right hand is a fire fork, there is a horse thief rushing forward, Char stopped head-on, a stick hammer first smashed over the war horse, and then went up to a fire fork to stab the enemy, and easily reversed seven or eight rushing enemies, as a result, the horse corpse and the dead body almost filled the gap, causing a lot of trouble to the horse thieves who rushed up behind, Char took Hawke and a few fire rhinoceros mercenaries, firmly guarded the gap The charge of the horse thieves lasted only a quarter of an hour or so before retreating, leaving behind fifty or sixty corpses.
Char's Fire Rhino Mercenaries here killed four and wounded eight, while the improvised coachmen died eight.
And the first wave of attacks suffered heavy losses, and the second wave of attacks of horse thieves seemed a little soft.
The horse thieves seemed to lack courage, just forced to attack under the urging of the leader, and the main target of this attack was no longer the gap in the car formation, it seemed that everyone was afraid of Char's killing god, most of the horse thieves had to give up their horses, trying to climb over the carriage to fight, but Char had already prepared here, removed a lot of long wooden poles loaded on the car and tied them to the dagger, which was a temporary spear, the mercenaries hid behind the carriage, came up and stabbed one by one, the horse thieves' attack was frustrated, and they threw down the corpse and retreated.
After the second wave of attacks, the thieves waited more than an hour before organizing another attack.
If the second wave of attacks is soft, then the third wave of attacks is simply perfunctory.
Although the third wave of attacks, the horse thieves gathered more than 300 people, but these more than 300 people were obviously frightened, while shouting hard, but the speed of the charge was obviously sparse, it seemed that everyone was unwilling to fight hard, deliberately left behind, although the shouting was loud, but the running was very slow, the third wave of attacks almost only lasted for a moment, and the horse thieves dispersed in a hurry.
At this time, the morale of the people in the car formation was greatly boosted, and everyone was surrounded by thousands of horse thieves, and their hearts were full of panic, but Char performed a rush in the afternoon, and the extraordinary martial arts first frustrated the morale of the horse thieves, and then the horse thieves' soft attack greatly increased the confidence of everyone in the car formation: with such a situation, there is basically no problem in holding the car formation.
Especially compared to the swarming of horse thieves, the people in the car formation were carefully divided by Char in an orderly manner.
Thirty of Lantis's bodyguards were used as a reserve by Char, the Fire Rhino mercenaries were used as a force to attack the fortifications, and the improvised armed grooms and coachmen assisted in the battle.
The orderly division of labor made everyone very clear about their tasks, and compared to the aimless rush of the horse thieves during the battle, Char's people here seemed to be in order.
After the third wave of horse thieves retreated, until it was dark, the horse thieves did not seem to be interested in attacking again.
At this time, Hawke was already impressed by Char.
The young mercenary captain killed a horse thief with his own hands in the afternoon, but he rushed too hard, and once when the horse thief retreated, he rushed directly out of the gap in the car formation, and was almost surrounded by several enemies, but fortunately Char rushed out and rescued him.
Hawke suffered several minor wounds, notably a sword in the chest from a dying horse thief, which was fortunately blocked by his breastplate, which slid down his ribs, but also left a finger-deep wound.
After a simple bandage, Hawke came to Char's side, looking at Char who was standing behind the carriage, quietly staring at the horse thieves in the distance, Hawke coughed: "My lord" "Hmm" Char turned around, his face deliberately did not wipe off the blood, and he smiled casually, as if it had a hideous taste.
Looking at the young mercenary who had been subdued by himself, Char smiled and said, "Those smashes won't attack for the time being, let's let everyone rest for a while." ” Hawke was puzzled, Char looked at him, smiled, and said lightly: "If the other party is a regular army, then let alone thousands of people, as long as it is a battalion with three hundred soldiers, we will definitely not be able to hold it."
We here, counting me, and you, plus my two subordinates, Sharba and Philip Shaya, directly ignored Dodoro, and there are only four of them in total.
But in the real battle, personal martial arts are actually not of much use, no matter how good your sword skills are, in the chaos of the army, you may not know which direction to stab a sword, can kill you.
The real war is about coordination, and a group of several people, fighting in a coordinated manner, and forming an array, can resist an enemy several times larger than oneself.
But our mercenaries here, their personal combat effectiveness is good, but if they encounter a regular army, they will only be beaten. ” After a pause, Char smiled disdainfully and pointed to the distance: "However, those horse thieves are even more disdainful, although there are many people, but they are divided into seven or eight groups, and they don't listen to other people's orders, and when they fight, they are chaotic when they attack, and when they retreat, they are even more scattered.
These guys have too many worries about being hacked by others, so they naturally refuse to fight to the death, and they are soft when they fight.
If the heart is not aligned, there will naturally be no combat effectiveness.
Therefore, I have long been very confident that although we are few people, we will definitely be able to hold on."
Hawke was convinced, although he had been a mercenary for many years, and there was no lack of experience in fighting, but after all, the tactics and tactics in this army were ignorant, and in the three battles this afternoon, Char not only showed his personal martial arts, but also commanded a group of rabble mercenaries and coachmen, commanded in an orderly manner, and easily repelled the attack of the horse thieves.
"If the other party was a regular army, as long as it was two battalions, I wouldn't dare to defend it like this, and I would have fled with people and goods a long time ago."
Char smiled self-deprecatingly, and then his tone changed: "And, the best thing is that I rushed into battle in the afternoon, and my luck was so good, I actually killed the leader of the Cossack regiment for me, and these horse thieves were all summoned by the Cossack guys, if the leader of the Cossack regiment is still there, then relying on that guy to match the internal situation, maybe they can calm down the internal disputes of these horse thieves, but now they don't even have a candidate who can unite many gangs."
So many people died in the afternoon attack, but I am afraid that in the evening, they are already arguing with each other internally, where do they still have the intention of attacking immediately.
Hmph" "My lord, I'm convinced."
Hawke sighed and asked again: "You said that you want to give these guys a little bitterness, now, we are naturally not afraid of them, as long as we guard until their morale collapses, it will naturally disperse."
So, are we going to keep going?"
Char smiled and touched his chin: "Just holding on, how can it be enjoyable" He gestured with his eyes: "We still have a new force to use." ” Hawke's eyes lit up: "You mean the guards of the Gallensian Merchant Order" The thirty Lantis warriors were all ordered by Char to stay in the middle of the formation in the afternoon and did not release an arrow, and now it seems that Char is afraid that Char has another trick "Rest for another hour and watch Lao Tzu's clever plan to break the thief" Char smiled and touched his chin.
Although Hawke was as curious as a cat scratching in his heart, he didn't dare to ask more questions when he saw Char say this, so he had to sit down next to him, lean on the carriage and close his eyes to rest.
Towards midnight, Char suddenly jumped up and summoned the Rantis warriors.
These Gallens Chamber of Commerce's Landis guards, all of them are archers, they didn't use them in the afternoon, these people are still a little aggrieved, but the leader of the Chamber of Commerce ordered that everything must follow Char's orders, which barely appeased everyone, and at this moment, seeing Char gather everyone, these people are all in good spirits, and they all look like they are eager to try, after all, people's hearts are like this, if the situation is crisis, these people may not have such courage.
But seeing that these horse thieves don't seem to be in much danger, who doesn't want to be beaten up a water dog by being beaten several times in the afternoon "You are all Lantis, I heard that you Landis are good at shooting, I don't know what you are capable of."
Char deliberately provoked him with words.
"My lord, we're all old shooters."
One of the captain of the guard shouted dissatisfied: "Several of our old brothers have served in the army before, even if it is a first-class military bow, we can shoot it."
"Okay."
Char nodded, and immediately selected seven or eight archers with better shooting numbers, although the number was a little less, but after all, these Landis people were all merchant group guards, and there were not many really good archers, and the seven or eight people who could be selected were all those who had served in the Landis army.

After visually measuring the distance from the team of horse thieves on the opposite side, the horse thieves on the opposite side seemed to be much quieter at the moment, and in the queue, only clusters of torches were shining.
"See, I don't have to worry about shooting at the place where there are torches, just shoot at the place where there are torches."
These Lantis archers gladly accepted the order, and seven or eight people took out the longbow that the Landis people are accustomed to, and the characteristics of this Lantis longbow are that they have a long range and great strength, according to tradition, qualified longbowmen, the height requirements are at least one meter seventy-five or more, so that the height can ensure that the longbowmen have a long enough arm span to open the bow.
The regular longbow, generally speaking, the height is more than 180 centimeters when the Lantis longbowman shoots the arrow, the posture is slightly backward, the arm strength plus the waist strength to open the bow, it takes years of training to train an excellent longbowman, so it is said that many longbowmen have an occupational disease left by the bow with this peculiar posture for many years: spinal deformity.
The seven or eight Landis people selected were obviously qualified for longbowmen, and they took out their longbows to come to the distance according to Char's orders, and the horse thieves were still resting, and the gang of horse thieves did not seem to have the confidence to attack, and the leaders of the various tribes gathered together, and as Char guessed, they were arguing.
Some of the tribes that attacked during the day shouted because of the loss of manpower, and the others wanted to preserve their strength and refused to send their own people to take the lead, hoping to let others attack the fortifications, and each had selfish intentions, so although the number was large, there was no combat effectiveness.
Seeing that the leaders were arguing endlessly, the people below naturally had no intention of fighting, and it was still quite cold on the wildfire at night, so the clusters of torches were lit, and everyone gathered around the torches to warm up.
At this time, I suddenly heard a sharp sound of breaking through the air The horse thieves were still in a daze, when an experienced old horse thief suddenly changed color, screamed and threw himself to the side, and at the same time exclaimed: "Bow and arrow" Plop pounce pounce on a series of dense movements, the horse thieves who were originally gathered next to the torches, suddenly three or four arrows fell from the sky and shot the longbow used by the Landisians, the weight of the arrows was heavy, and the arrows were thrown far away with iron, and the strength was full of strength, and suddenly several horse thieves who were hit by the arrows were pinned alive to the ground The horse thieves were stunned by the sudden rain of arrows But before they could come back to their senses, there was a roaring sound in the sky, and a firelight next to it was heard, and suddenly several horse thieves were shot, some of them were not dead by arrows, and they were wailing and rolling on the ground and screaming.
The terrible roar was particularly clear and sharp in the night The entire team of horse thieves was immediately alarmed.
Char shot a total of six or seven waves of arrows here, and the horse thieves sensed the other party's target, and they scrambled to shout: "Their goal is to extinguish the fire quickly by the fire fools."
The horse thieves are in chaos, one by one for fear of becoming the next unlucky ghost, these guys think they are "smart" and find each other's loopholes: in the dark night, the attack of the bow and arrow must have a good line of sight, as long as the torch is extinguished, the opponent's archer can't see the light, and the damn arrow can't shoot himself So, one by one, the horse thieves scrambled to extinguish the torches, threw them on the ground and trampled back and forth, and some horse thieves were impatient, unbuttoning their pants and urinating to extinguish the torches.
Soon, in the darkness of the night, Char saw that the horse thief was in the place, and the flames were extinguished, and gradually it became a darkness, and there was a faint sound of noisy scolding.
Some horse thieves came to control their subordinates, and when they saw that their subordinates had extinguished the fire, they ordered people to make fire, but these horse thieves were afraid that they would be targeted by the opponent's archers, and after a quarrel, the horse thief leaders could not control their subordinates, so they could only order: Retreat and withdraw from the range of the opponent's bow and arrow In the dark, and did not dare to light the fire, a group of horse thieves were driven up, asking everyone to retreat, but there was no fire to illuminate, in the dark night, everyone was chaotic, you pushed me, and some people could not find their companions in the dark, some trampled each other in the dark, and even some horse thieves could not find their horses in the dark, and quarreled with each other.
Hearing a mess of scolding in the darkness in the distance, Char laughed, and suddenly jumped up: "It's time to break the thief."
"Whoever can move is on the horse for Lao Tzu" Char was ready in the afternoon, and there were originally more than thirty horses in the chariot array, plus all the horses pulling the cart were all gathered, and a total of fifty horses were gathered.
All the Fire Rhino mercenaries were gathered by him, and together with the Lantis warriors, fifty people with relatively good riding skills were selected.
"I have only two orders for you, first, when you advance in the dark, don't be afraid to see the road clearly, just follow me and follow me, just follow me and follow me, where I rush, you will rush where the second is engaged, all of you are not allowed to say anything else in their mouths, and they will shout to me desperately, Oak Oak understand, in the darkness, we also identify who is the enemy and who is our own people, so we all shout to Lao Tzu, Oak Oak must keep shouting, so, as long as you hear the person in front of you does not shout Oak, Then it must be a horse thief who just closes his eyes and cuts it."
Char gave the order, everyone turned on their horses, took up their weapons, and in the darkness, Char and Sharpa took the lead and led the team towards the chaotic horse thieves in the distance.
In the distance, the horse thieves were still in a chaotic group to pull out the camp and retreat, and the people shouted that the horses were neighing and lined up in the dark, even the regular army would be in chaos for a while, not to mention these rabble, which were already scattered And when Char and the others came out of the battle, they were even quieter, deliberately slowing down the speed of the horses, and approaching cautiously under the cover of darkness, and the horse thieves themselves were in a terrible mess, and they didn't expect that the other party would actually have dozens of people come out to attack their team.
As a result, Char and the others ran out of battle for a short time, and they were only discovered when they were less than fifty meters away from the horse thief's team "The Landis shoot with a bow" Char gave an order, and the thirty Landis people immediately grabbed their bows and arrows on the horse, which was Char's order in advance, and after a volley of thirty archers, the arrow rain suddenly fell on the heads of the horse thief team, and there was a chaotic shout in the darkness.
"Bow and Arrow Attack" "everybody out" "Spread out quickly, gather together as a target, spread out quickly" "What the hell are you hitting me for?"
"Which bastard stepped on Lao Tzu's foot" "What the hell are you doing robbing my horse?"
Seeing that the distance was close, Char didn't need to hide his traces anymore, and suddenly yelled: "Throw the bow" The Rantis warriors listened to the order and threw their bows and arrows directly on the ground, anyway, they would have to pick them up afterwards.
"Follow Lao Tzu to Oak" Char took the lead and galloped towards the silhouette of the faint crowd of horse thieves in the darkness, and the fifty horsemen behind him also shouted "Oke Oak" at the same time, struggling to follow Char and crash into the queue of horse thieves For a while, in the darkness, the sound of ping-pong collision was heard, and the sound of slashing was endless, and the roar of "Okeok" was sandwiched between them.
When it comes to horsemanship, these people under Char are really not very good, and many of them are just barely able to run on horseback, and even if they are many horse thieves, their riding skills are far better than those of Char.
But the problem is that in the dark, the horse thieves were in a mess, and suddenly the enemy rushed to the front and the attack of a wave of arrows before the battle, which made the horse thieves chaotic into a dark night, you can't see me, I can't see you, and even the companions around me can't really see what they look like when I hear a group of people killed in their own ranks If you can't see the situation clearly, you can hear countless screams, not to mention horse thieves in such a scene, even if it is a real regular army, there is only one way to rout The horse thieves roared wildly, some simply scattered and fled for their lives, and some could not see the enemy clearly in the dark night, and in the sound of shouting and killing all around, they could only shout and slash indiscriminately with weapons, as long as one person bombed the camp and slashed indiscriminately, then the situation could not be seen clearly in the night, and everyone could only cut indiscriminately in order to save their lives After this chaos, Char and the others easily entered the queue of horse thieves with fifty horses, and rushed to kill head-on, and many mercenaries did not have to worry, and shouted "Oak" in their mouths, anyway, the people around them, as long as they didn't shout like this, they would cut them with swords For a while, the team of horse thieves soon completely collapsed and fled in all directions, most of the horse thieves who killed each other, there were not too many people who died under the hands of Char and other fifty horsemen and horses, but the number of more dead and wounded was in the dark night, killing each other, and trampling on each other Char led the men and horses, he ran at the head, he was born with night eyes, and seeing things in the night was also real, with him as the leader, Char kept roaring, his voice, the mercenaries are familiar with it, Just follow Char's voice and rush to it.
Char took the people and easily rushed the team of horse thieves directly into a textbook-like cavalry chisel through the tactics After killing the enemy, Char looked back at the people behind him, and shouted "Okeok", and the people behind him also shouted, but the number of people was a little less, three or five people less, thinking that they were trapped in the chaos.
But behind him, the team of horse thieves has also been completely messed up, the best thing is that after Char led people to rush for a while, there were also some shrewd horse thieves who recognized the sound of the enemy in the dark shouting "Oak", in order to save their lives, they followed the shouting, trying to avoid the enemy's weapons, but of course there are such smart people, there are also some smarter horse thieves, and they also recognize that the enemy is shouting "Oak", so good, but whoever shouts Oak, Lao Tzu will cut it For a while, those who shouted Oak, if they wanted to kill or not shout Oak, they would also kill this scene, not to mention those horse thief leaders, even if the Odin army god Hastings came, they couldn't control these crazy subordinates in this dark bombing camp and chaotic army "Do you dare to rush again" Char laughed, pointing to the chaotic piece like a beehive in the distance: "This time we changed the code, everyone shouted Suo, remember not to shout the wrong one, and the wrong one was killed by his own people, but he was very wronged."
Dozens of subordinates raised their swords at the same time: "Suosuo" This battle lasted for an hour, Char led the people to charge three times, in the dark night, his eyesight was the best, several horse thieves had seen that a few groups of people were barely about to gather, Char rushed up.
As a result, in less than an hour, the horse thief collapsed The team could no longer be closed, and a gang of horse thieves shouted "Run for your life" With a bang, thousands of horse thieves suddenly scattered Char laughed, and led people to run back and forth on the battlefield to exterminate the scattered horse thieves.
After the enemy was completely defeated and fled, Char led people to stop and light torches.
After some of the fires were lit, everyone looked at them, and all of them were covered in blood, and they were all tired and panting, but looking at the countless dead bodies on the ground of these horse thieves around them, it was obvious that most of them had died of cannibalism at all.
I roughly counted them, but I am afraid that in this night attack, there were at least two hundred dead among the horse thieves, and some were wounded on the ground on the battlefield, and some of them lay in the dark and pretended to be dead, and after clearing the battlefield, all of them became prisoners, and there were actually one hundred and eighty Char's light cavalry attacked fifty nights, annihilated two hundred enemies, and captured one hundred, which immediately made the Flame Rhino mercenaries demoralized Char smiled silently, but the Sharpa next to him sighed, especially dissatisfied, and said in a low voice: "These people are still too wasteful, if these fifty cavalry are replaced by alas, not to mention our Rodria cavalry, even if they are replaced by ordinary regular troops, this result can at least be doubled." ” "Just win."
Char shook his head, glanced at Sharpa, lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk too much, these people, Lao Tzu still plans to take them all for his own use."
In the darkness, those unlucky horse thieves scattered and fled, but after all, everyone has a herd heart, and since they can't see it in the dark, many horse thieves simply follow the direction that sounds the most moving.
As a result, after running for an hour, the horse thieves stopped to gather the people, and the number of fleeing horse thieves in this group was the largest, there were three or four hundred people, but the team was scattered, and many of them could not find the gang tribe they belonged to at all.
For a while, everyone stopped to rest, and one by one was frightened, and reluctantly gathered the people and horses, and several horse thief leaders vomited blood in their hearts, seeing that this time they came out to hunt, and the losses were so heavy, in this wildfire field where the weak and the strong eat, the strength represents all their own tribes, and they are afraid that after going back, it is a question of whether they can continue to survive After some arguments and scolding, they finally reluctantly gathered their subordinates, three or four hundred people gathered together, and lit torches, and everyone finally felt a little more at ease.
Several horse thieves were about to send people around to collect the scattered men and horses, when they suddenly heard a dense sound of horses' hooves in the distance This sound immediately alarmed the horse thieves, who had become frightened birds, but fortunately they could see from a distance, by the light, and the group of people running in the distance were also carrying torches, but they could see it clearly.
There were about two hundred of those who came, all dressed up one by one, and they looked like horse thieves, mottled and messy, and the weapons used were also different, but they were the only one, and when the two hundred horses were galloping, the team was surprisingly solemn.
Running at the front, a majestic war horse, with a vigorous and majestic figure on its back, an iron hammer in one hand, a reins in the other, and a plate axe behind him From a distance, this group of horse thieves saw that it was a "peer" instead of Char's guys, and they were all relieved, anyway, there were more than 300 people on their side, even if they met their peers, they were not afraid that the other party would have bad intentions, and some horse thieves shouted: "On the other side, what is the way?"
The two hundred horsemen who came from afar stopped at a distance, and the two sides looked at each other, and the other heard the shouts here, and asked from afar: "Which hill on the opposite side of the south hill are we doing business with?"
As soon as they heard this, they were considered experts, and the horse thieves were even more relieved, and some people here shouted loudly to intimidate each other: "Listen to the six tribes in the south of the wildfire field, they are joining forces to do business, and idlers dodge, don't make trouble yourself."
In order to strengthen the momentum, many horse thieves here have shown their names: "The old pole tribe of Mashanpo is here" "The one-eyed wolf tribe in the Westlook Valley is here" "The Old Shelf Brothers of the Oil River" "We are Cossack regiments, don't want to get into trouble, get out of the way" Originally, the other party listened to the horse thieves here, but the other party still stopped there and listened with interest, and each other also followed the rules of the horse thieves on the road, and kept a distance.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they heard the name of the "Cossack" regiment, the group on the opposite side suddenly boiled For a while, more than 200 cavalrymen suddenly shouted happily, and everyone raised their sabers: "I found my mother, I ran for most of the night, and I finally found it."
The horse thieves were all amazed to find out what this meant Some people looked at the people of the Cossack regiment: Could it be that you also contacted the horse thieves from other mountains to do this business, but the people of the Cossack regiment also looked at each other, and some people tried to shout loudly: "The other side is also a fellow who has come to do business together?"

As soon as these words came out, the mighty leader who led the way suddenly became angry "The same brother as your mother's Dao is this gang of bastards slashing and fucking" To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
