Chapter 1381: Escape
"Haha, you guy is quite a clean person, but it's very strange that you, the wolf on the grassland, aren't afraid of taking a bath?" Zhao Hu smiled while washing the black wolf.
This is a shallow river. Zhao Hu and others who had been running wildly for a few days after leaving the horse robber market are resting here.
The black wolf, who survived the gambling battle, squinted his eyes comfortably and let Zhao Hu caress him. When he heard Zhao Hu's words, he just glanced at Zhao Hu indifferently.
Seeing the black wolf's expression, the few people around Zhao Hu were all amused, and only Zhou Wen cursed in a low voice with anger.
Seeing Zhou Wen's expression, everyone except Zhao Hu, Luo Ke and Luo Fei were laughing aside.
In this case, I really can't help laughing, because this black wolf is very spiritual and knows how to treat differently. He obeys Lord Zhao Hu unconditionally, is friendly to Locke and Luo Fei, but is friendly to officers like the captain and centurion, is cold to Sun Jie and Deo, and completely ignores Zhou Wen.
This is also the reason why Zhou Wen looked like this. There is a deeper layer that everyone except Zhao Hu knows, that is, after the black wolf recovered, Zhou Wen couldn't stay by Zhao Hu for long because he would be driven away by the black wolf.
However, when the black wolf was made of it, he didn't know what material it was. When the casino people put it on the carriage, the black wolf was covered with wounds and was dying. Anyone who saw it knew that he could not save it at all.
However, when Lord Zhao Hu used the injury medicine he bought from the horse robbery market and fed it a few bites of the broth, the next day the wolf actually recovered.
What's even more outrageous is that he can wander around with Lord Zhao Hu on the third day. He is worthy of being the leader who can survive in Lord Zhao Hu's hands.
On the fifth day of entering the vast grassland, no scouts had been found, and suddenly reported to Zhao Hu: "Sir! More than a thousand cavalry were found thirty kilometers ahead and were rushing towards us!"
While the cavalry reported, the cavalry guarded around rushed back to report: "Sir, a large number of cavalry were found operating forty kilometers to the left!"
"Sir, thousands of cavalry were found fifty kilometers to the right!"
"Sir, smoke and dust were found sixty kilometers behind, and a large number of cavalry were chasing me!"
Such news immediately surprised everyone. People were surrounded by people. Who was the other party? They actually chased this place without water. Now there are enemies everywhere, where should I break through? Everyone immediately focused their attention on Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu first stood on the horse and looked around, then ordered: "Send the order, all the cavalry will gather together, the extra horses will be put into the carriage and the logistics soldiers will supply each person with three pots of arrows."
Hearing this, everyone knew that they were going to attack the enemy in front of them. Many people muttered in their hearts: "Are those servants? Will they turn against each other when they see them fighting with their compatriots?"
People with this kind of concern will temporarily keep their concerns in their hearts when they see the appearance of Torgelat in the grassland.
The scout who came to report immediately changed his career and became a messenger, shouting orders and running around.
The cavalry in the team immediately ran forward, and the logistics soldiers on the carriage were busy sending pots of arrows out. The infantry also trapped the excess horses and carriages under the command of the captain.
The eight servant soldiers who received the orders, of course, noticed the suspicious eyes of the imperial soldiers, and couldn't help but shout to their subordinates: "Remember! We are Lord Zhao Hu's servant soldiers! For Lord Zhao Hu, we can point the bow and arrow at any person! Don't lose the glory of our grassland people!"
The already humane servants these days responded with a burst of shouts under the leadership of the ten men.
Seeing Zhao Hu preparing to attack with his cavalry, Luo Ke, Luo Fei and other personal soldiers looked anxious, but they were depressed by Zhao Hu's order "You and the infantry are following behind".
However, they also knew that there was nothing they could do. Although their five personal guards could also ride horses, their riding skills could not be compared with those of the cavalry, that is, they were just dragon cavalry who rode horses during marching and dismounted during combat.
Thinking of this, Locke and others made up their minds to practice horse racing well.
Zhao Hu, who was holding a strong bow, looked at the nearly a thousand cavalry behind him and said, "Dio, follow us with a carriage." Then he waved his hand: "Cabinets attack!" He took the lead and ran wildly forward.
Monte, who was proud and satisfied, immediately shouted with a blue face after receiving the scout's report on the situation around him: "Hurry up! Those damn wild wolves have noticed our prey! We must seize the prey in front of them!"
Monte's confidant was based on his duties, so he couldn't help but remind him: "Sir, there are more than a thousand people on the other side, and we only have one thousand people here..."
Monte glanced at his confidant and ignored it: "What? Do you think we will fail? Don't forget that the other side had only two or three hundred imperial soldiers, and the others were captured flag slaves. Do you think those lowly flag slaves dare to fight against us noble men?"
The confidant hurriedly said, "No, sir, I am not worried about that group of emperors. I am worried that when we attack emperors, those wild wolves will take advantage of the situation to rob them."
Hearing this, Monte was stunned, frowned and agreed and said, "That's true, what should we do?"
The confidant may have had a solution for a long time. After muttering a few words in Monte's ear, Monte patted his confidant's shoulder with a smile and shouted: "Let me listen to it! As long as you hunt prey, everyone will be promoted! All flag slaves will become flag citizens!"
As soon as this benefit came out, the men and women, including those expressionless cavalry, all their eyes shone brightly, howling and whipping their mounts hard and rushed forward.
The two sides ran quickly at the same time, and the distance of 30 kilometers was shortened to two or three kilometers in a short while. There was no place to hide in this grassland where the sight was within reach, so both sides discovered each other at the first time.
"Swap the horse!" Zhao Hu and Monte ordered at the same time. The soldiers on both sides immediately threw down their sweaty and breathless mounts and stepped onto another mount that had been running in the air.
Monte looked at the cavalry opposite and found that the other party had no identity sign. Monte immediately waved his hand and said, "Attack!"
The confidant immediately asked, "Sir, we haven't figured out the other party's identity yet. Is it too hasty?"
"That's a hurry! There is no identity sign, either horse thieves or those emperors, beat him up!" Monte shouted again: "Now is the time to show your courage, attack me!"
"Wow!" The cavalry of the B-shaped flag shouted loudly, threw down the tired mount, and mobilized the mount under his crotch and rushed towards Zhao Hu and his gang.
On Zhao Hu's side, after changing horses, Zhao Hu actually ordered a slow cycling. Geralt and other imperial cavalry were stunned when they heard this order, because logically, there was no fancy between the two cavalry, and only the two sides charged against each other. But now the other party has charged, and he actually rode slowly. Do you still want to save horsepower?
Now the distance is only two kilometers. If you don’t run, you will become an infantryman to fight against the cavalry.
Monte, who was surrounded in the center of the team, saw the forward raising his bow and cursed: "Cut the bow and draw the sword in the front row!"
The confidant knew why Monte did this and shouted: "We will destroy them in the shortest time! Draw our swords and fight! The eagles on our grassland are not afraid of any battle!"
Although it is recognized that the grassland people have a good way of riding and shooting, the grassland people believe that they have a good way of fighting immediately whenever they fight immediately, and they are eager to show their courage. Compared with the instinctive riding and shooting, they prefer close combat, so they have no resistance to this command that obviously abandons their strengths and takes up their weaknesses.
Geralt and others wanted to come and dissuade Zhao Hu, but they were sent down to lead the team and could not leave without authorization. Just when they saw that the enemy was approaching the range of the bow and arrow and were preparing to charge against the order, Zhao Hu's order came again: "The servants roamed from both sides, and the emperor drew their swords and charged!" After that, they first drew their swords and were the first to rush forward.
When Geralt and other imperial cavalry heard this, they suddenly remembered that the imperial cavalry was close-killing, while the herd flag cavalry was cavalry. Now that the opponent has passed the range of the gamble, he continues to rush hard and draws his sword. It depends on the situation and wants to fight him in close combat.
When were the Imperial cavalry afraid of close combat? Geralt and other cavalry captains immediately drew their swords and shouted: "Come on, sir!"
The eight servants, the centurion of Lao Dao, also shouted loudly: "The time to show our loyalty and courage is here!" He scattered around with his servants and began to shoot arrows at Monte's Thousand-man team.
The more than 100 cavalry squadrons of the Emperor** immediately raised their swords and rushed forward with enthusiasm. If Monte ordered all the archery, these 100 people would probably die in one round of volley.
But Monte certainly would not have expected that only a hundred people rushed up, and even if he thought about it, he would not take these hundred people to heart. In the eyes of these nomads, the servants who were rushing on both sides were their great enemy.
So when Zhao Hu led the cavalry squadron and rushed into the Monte Thousand-Person forward array, Monte Thousand-Person team, ninety percent of the attention of Monte Thousand-Person team was focused on the servants scattered around shooting archers.
The Emperor's ability in hand-to-hand combat is one of the best on the mainland. It's just a charge, and the hundreds of people who fought against the Emperor's Monte's forward were almost cut off their horses in one encounter.
