Chapter 116 Ambush
During the meal, Zhang Hao, Li Lingyu and others sat with the slave soldiers.
He smiled softly at the slave soldiers, and the chosen ones with them, ate these meals and drank the hot soup in the same pot.
"There are so few masters like us, and they eat the same food as us, the untouchables." Many slave soldiers muttered to themselves.
The old slave soldier Hanmo couldn't help but look up to Zhang Hao again. He felt that such a general seemed to be the commander of the Sacred Heart Legion of the Kingdom of Noah before when he was young. Of course, the Sacred Heart Legion has now become the first legion of the Kingdom of Noah. Even in the entire continent, there are several first-class strong troops!
"Master!" Seeing Zhang Hao finishing his meal, Hanmo quietly walked over and whispered in a low voice.
"What's wrong, Hanmo." Zhang Hao asked.
Hanmo felt warm in his heart. Unexpectedly, Zhang Hao still remembered his name. Then he continued: "The villain thinks that it is best for us to set out quickly now, and it is best to go to Aksai District, where riots are happening, which is suitable for us to survive and grow stronger by catching up in troubled waters."
"Oh?" Zhang Hao looked at Hanmo, waiting for his words behind him.
"Master, this area is already the sphere of influence of Duke Rhodes. The Rhodes family has always been the top wealthy family in the kingdom. The patrol cavalry teams on their territory are different from other places. They not only patrol on time, but also everyone is brave and bloodthirsty, with a large number of people."
"How much is it?" Zhang Hao asked curiously.
"About thirty or forty cavalry." Hanmo glanced at Zhang Hao and then plucked up his courage: "Master, it's not me that we just have to do with our staff, but according to our usual habits, they will soon patrol this area."
Hanmo is also an old slave soldier who has been running this trade route for more than 10 years, so he naturally knows these simple rules.
"You are right, if you fight hard, you will naturally not be able to fight hard!" Zhang Hao stood up and smiled, "But we can't be so stubborn, always thinking about fighting hard with each other! Instruct them to prepare to set out and target the Hualan Valley ahead of them!"
"Yes!" Hanmo replied quickly instinctively.
Then he thought of something and suddenly asked: "So...what should those who are not walking fast?"
"Let them stay here." Zhang Hao's eyes stern: "Don't worry, we will be back soon!"
"this?"
"If we don't destroy the recently arrived patrol cavalry team, we are all afraid that we will suffer greater losses!"
Hanmo's heart sank and nodded again.
Everything began to prepare tensely and in an orderly manner. The slave soldiers knew that if they were caught by the nobles, they would definitely have no way to survive. Therefore, these slave soldiers obeyed Hanmo's instructions very much.
Not long after the large group of people left, more than forty cavalrymen ran over. In addition to a cavalry captain wearing iron armor, there was also a middle-aged man wearing a set of family servant clothes.
This man was not wearing a military uniform, but he was vaguely one taller than these cavalrymen. His clothes were simple, but the dark golden dragon painted on his chest told others that this was a senior servant of the Rhodes family!
The servant who can use the dark gold dragon as his family emblem is worthy of the treatment of these cavalrymen with courtesy, not to mention that this middle-aged man is still an intermediate warrior at level 6.
Even in the Rhodes Shield Legion, a level 6 warrior is more than enough to become a commander.
You should know that as the representative of martial arts in this world, if you want to become a level 1-3 warrior, you may be able to achieve it by hard work, but if you want to break through the level 4 limit and enter the field of intermediate warriors, then there is no good dietary supplement and the heavenly and earth treasures to supplement it. Unless you have a peerless talent or a great opportunity, it will be too difficult! It is too difficult!
Warrior! Although it is not as expensive as a magician, it is difficult for most people to bear it.
Therefore, in this dark world, most of the warriors and magicians who control high-end martial arts are nobles! or noble servants!
"Mr. Anshi, look! According to the traces, the man came here and then mixed with the people from this caravan." said Mr. Anshi, the captain of the cavalry, who pleased the captain.
"Yeah." An Shi nodded gently: "They just walked not far."
"Yes, those damn slaves actually killed their masters. This was a rebellion against the kingdom." The cavalry captain said, "But in this way, the army..."
"The Count said, don't matter if you live or die." Anshi, a servant, whispered: "Remember, if the other party has black hair, the 100 gold coin bounty will be 50 gold coin."
"I understand, Mr. Anshi." The cavalry captain understood it and then greeted the cavalry behind him: "Brothers, we all work harder. Kill all the slaves and help the gentleman find the person he is looking for. Then I treat you tonight, and we all go to the Red Moor House!"
"Ula~!" The cavalry cheered and pulled out the sabre. One of the anxious cavalry whispered: "What are you waiting for? Captain, the slaves are at most about 300, and most of them are farmers. Are you still afraid of them?"
"Yes! Chase up!" The cavalry echoed, and the captain waved his sabre, and more than 40 cavalry immediately rushed towards the distance.
The first thing they caught up with was the group of girls and children who couldn't run fast.
"Haha~! Don't kneel down yet!" The cavalry captain took the lead and jumped to the front of these people. With a wave of his sabre, he killed the girl who was in the front. The blood made the hundred people scream and he couldn't help but kneel down.
"Tsk, they are all women and young people?" The cavalry captain saw the problem.
"They were determined enough to give up these burdens, but, huh, they thought we would let them go because they seized these slaves."
"The whole army obeys the orders and continues to pursue them for a moment!" The cavalry captain shouted loudly without even looking at the kneeling slaves.
Even if these slaves want to run away, they can still catch them back. In contrast, the threats from the slave soldiers ahead are much greater, and there are also bounties of gold coins there.
"Kill!" The cavalry followed the captain's instructions and chased and killed them.
After running for about five or six minutes again, the cavalry chased a valley, not far away, and could see clearly the traces of the escaped slave soldiers ahead with their naked eyes.
It was as chaotic and undisciplined as I imagined, and after seeing the cavalry, it became even more chaotic.
"Progress!" The cavalry captain danced his saber.
"Sir, look at the terrain. If there are ambushing on both sides of the valley," a cavalryman looked around and suddenly whispered.
The cavalry captain looked at his servant Anshi in a slight shock.
An Shi nodded gently, rode first, came to the valley, and then turned around and said, "It's okay! The valley here is as steep as a mirror. Although it's not high, even me is difficult to climb, let alone those slave soldiers? As for going up the mountain from the other side, I'm afraid they don't have that time!"
The cavalry captain thought that this was indeed the case, so he rushed over with his subordinates with greater confidence.
"See, see! The guys worth one hundred gold coins are those black-haired guys, right?"
"Black hair and dark eyes? Haha, it's just like those Semites. Today, let me be a vanguard." The cavalry captain thought this way, and even tightened his saber.
Most of these patrol cavalrymen in the Kingdom of Noah were from the legion cavalry teams that had retreated to the second line. With the cavalry recruited from local civilians, most of them had combat power around level 2-3. The captain could generally have a level 4 strength.
Their equipment is not very good, the captain has iron armor. Ordinary cavalry is just hard leather armor, but sabers are all good swords. After all, the City of Glory is the residence of the Rhodes family. In order to consider the safety of their residence near the city, the Rhodes family funded the patrol cavalry in the entire sphere of influence with the sabers from the Kuman Prairie.
Just as these patrol cavalrymen were approaching Zhang Hao and others quickly, and could even see Zhang Hao's black eyebrows clearly!
The servant Anshi suddenly held the reins tightly and shouted: "Be careful! There is something wrong with the ground ahead!"
Unfortunately, it was still one step late, and five or six fast-running cavalrymen had already jumped over.
Suddenly! A rocket shot out and hit the empty area between both sides.
That area was already covered with burning water from the City of Dawn.
Boom! With a loud bang, a little spark was immediately dyed into a prairie fire. The flames soaring into the sky burned on the open space. In an instant, the surging fire illuminated the rocks on both sides to make the rocks on both sides turn red. The cavalrymen who were trapped in the sea of fire screamed and were swallowed by the fire.
"Boardman! Get out of the line!" Zhang Hao rode on his horse, staring at the battlefield, and shouted loudly.
Li Lingyu and her archers ran out in unison and aimed at the patrol cavalry.
"Forward! Get ready to shoot flat."
"Start~! Shoot!" Zhang Hao waved his long sword, and suddenly a wave of arrows crossed the sea of fire and shot at the cavalry who were caught off guard.
"Not good! There are arrows." The servant roared, turned over and dismounted with the horse as a shield to avoid the attack of the arrow rain.
"Ah." But the other cavalrymen lost so much luck.
There is only a little bit of a place in the valley. Since everyone has no ambush on both sides, it is natural to think there is no problem, so the formation is also very dense. How could I know that a fire suddenly ignited in front of me, blocking the way forward?
"Damn it! We were plotted." The captain of the cavalry waved his saber and cut off a crossbow arrow, saying, "Mr. Anshi, are you sure you really just captured a traitor from the Rhodes alive?"
"Of course!" An Shi's face was also extremely bad.
The arrow rain I enjoy now is too powerful. Not only is it a strong trend, but even the wooden shield will be pierced through. Although it is not as domineering as the strong crossbow in the army, it is!
Such a strong bow must not be sold by the people!
