Chapter 1675: Training

The ambition of the heart is beating, glory, gold, land! Many peasants jumped into the carriage one after another, choosing their own weapons, leaning on the wall, stunned, looking at the back of Zhao Hu who turned to leave, and felt stunned, "This is a genius, or an idiot!" ”

"My lord, we don't need those crappy daggers, we have our own sharp hunting knives, those bulky javelins are not for us, we have arrows stained with demon blood, as long as we have enough arrowheads, we can shoot through the throats of all enemies!" The hunter leader Monda found Zhao Hu, who was about to return to the hall. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the leader of a mountain hunter, Munda has been leading his tribe of mountain hunters to hunt in the nearby mountains, and recently heard that the local lord has posted a summoning order for a high bounty, leading more than a dozen hunters of his tribe to earn a reward, winter is coming, this money is just enough for his tribe to survive the harsh winter.

"Demon blood?" Zhao Hu looked at the sturdy hunter leader Meng Da in front of him and was stunned.

"This is the demonic blood, and we hunters usually carry some with us, as long as the arrows are infected in the demonic blood before the battle, the enemy who is shot by the arrow will have to cut off the injured parts, even if they do not die." Seeing the stunned look on Zhao Hu's face, the hunter leader Munda took a long hollow barrel from his waist and unveiled the cork that stuffed the barrel mouth, and the pungent smell of burnt smell from there made Zhao Hu frown sadly.

Seeing Zhao Hu staring at the small wooden barrel containing demon blood with a strange face, Meng Da smiled in disbelief, Meng Da didn't know, in fact, Zhao Hu was already excited in his heart now.

The familiar pungent smell made Zhao Hu endure his nausea, took the small wooden barrel from Meng Da's hand, poured out some vinyl-colored liquid from the wooden barrel and smelled it.

That's right, this is the smell of raw tar, I didn't expect that there was oil on the surface of the earth in the mountains near here, and I couldn't help but anxiously ask, "Is there a boiling black liquid in that devil's valley that is exposed to the surface, and there are endless flame eruptions all year round?" ”

"My lord, how do you know! Do adults also know about the Valley of the Devils? That's a place that can only be reached by our mountain hunters" Meng Da looked at Zhao Hu with a panicked face, the Demon Valley in the hunter's mouth, but the biggest secret of the hunter tribe, it is said that it is the place where the earth and hell are connected, could it be that this legendary lord also knows that place?

"I'll give you a hundred gold coins, and you can prepare 500 barrels for me in half a month, a small wooden barrel that you can carry with you just now, and it will be filled with the demon blood you said!"

"Really? Are you sure you need demon blood, my lord? Zhao Hu's words made Meng Da cry out in surprise.

Many of the nobles they had come into contact with in the past had already angrily scolded the hunters for being demonic minions just when they heard that the hunters were infecting the arrows with demon blood, and it was impossible for them to show such great interest in demon blood like Zhao Hu.

"Yes, it's the demon blood in your mouth! I'll keep this bucket as a sample, lest you cut corners for me" Zhao Hu closed the cork of the small wooden barrel, although Monda was a little reluctant to look at the small wooden barrel that Zhao Hu had taken, but he was still full of joy.

"With these raw tars, I will be able to organize a phalanx infantry capable of throwing incendiary bombs, and when the time comes, no matter what heavy knights you are, the elite infantry will make you a roast pig、、、、、、"

Zhao Hu flipped the small wooden bucket in his hand with his hand, and heard the sound of "cooing" liquid shaking from inside, and couldn't help but feel complacent.

"Raise your shield and take three steps forward! Stab! "The two hundred peasant soldiers lined up in ten rows on the castle playground raised the huge shields in their hands in unison under Starn's command, forming a tight shield wall to push forward, although these peasant soldiers have only been trained for more than half a month, but they already have a bit of a regular army flavor.

"Everyone remembers, close to twenty meters, bid for a gun, close to two meters to draw a short sword, close to the body to stab, no matter whether you live or die, ten stabs in a row, do not stab full, you are not allowed to turn back." Stan screamed loudly at the peasant soldiers, these standardized movement breakdowns and standards were conceived by the idiot lord he looked down on.

Although Starn believed that a great warrior should be a brave warrior, not a soldier who only knew how to make uniform movements according to orders, he had to admit that for these peasants who had never been on the battlefield, the various fighting skills he carefully taught were still more memorable to these peasants than the few simple assassination actions taught by the idiot lord.

"My lord, when we go to the battlefield, we really just need to do what we are told, we can survive, and we will get a reward?"

Although Starn was still a teenager, no one dared to look down on this adjutant who had a straight face and shouted at him all day long, knowing that this disabled boy who was a little lame and a little lame, had once been fighting with the fiercest Kazakh cavalry in the north.

"Yes, as long as you follow the method taught by your lord, I am sure you will come back with this large amount of gold coins."

As the departure time approached, the dozen or so peasant soldiers who surrounded him during the break asked Stan a little anxiously, and the eager eyes made Stairn, who had always been tenacious, have to comfort him against his will.

After nearly a month of training, Starn found himself feeling a sense of trust in the peasant soldiers he had trained.

Starn didn't say it explicitly, but he also knew that this was a crusade against the Locke barbarians occupying the western mountains, and according to this training method, he might really be able to bargain from those barbarians who had no tactics of war, and if he faced the Kazakh rangers in the north, he would have to wait for death.

"I wonder how the hunters in the mountains are being trained by adults?" Starn looked at the sun above his head, and in the corner of the side wall of the castle in the distance, dozens of mountain hunters who had been recruited were practicing shooting under the command of the white and fat idiot lord, and I really didn't know what kind of training the lord had for these hunters who had been hunting and archery since childhood.

Due to the remoteness of the quarantine, Starn did not notice that all of the hunters' arrows were wrapped in a small packet, and the original arrowheads were hidden inside.

Due to the change of the original sharp arrows, these hunters were not able to control the new arrows very accurately, and often shot in all directions due to insufficient estimation of strength and wind speed.

This led the hunters, who prided themselves on their skill in archery, to call this particular arrow "Wanderer's Arrow"

Although the hunters could not accurately grasp this kind of arrow that was intended to be used to launch tar bombs, Zhao Hu was already very satisfied when he saw that the arrow that could fly nearly 100 meters away.

This is originally a range attack weapon, as long as the arrow collides with the target, the small bag wrapped in tar will be pierced by the sharp arrow inside, and the tar inside will scatter and splash, with the rocket fired from behind, the raging fire caused by the tar can definitely catch the enemy off guard and suffer a big loss.

"How are the supplies prepared, we will leave in a few days." Zhao Hu, who returned to the bedroom, flipped through the list of supplies sent by the old housekeeper.

According to the custom of the empire, the army of the nobles had to bring their own food to the assembly place for ten days, because during these ten days, the nobles were considered to be obliged to serve His Majesty the Emperor, so they had to bring all the food and supplies they needed.

But after ten days, the emperor had to pay for the food of all the noble armies, so the emperor's war was always short, and the longest one was only more than a hundred days.

The thousands of aristocratic troops gathered at that time not only ate His Majesty's grain from the emperor, but also moved a lot of royal goods as food to pay off debts.

This system effectively limited the right of His Majesty the Emperor to requisition lords from various places at will, and it can be said that it has played a great role in the stability of the current empire.

"Two hundred people have been prepared to eat food for twenty days, tomorrow I will let the kitchen carry the pickled food to the material carriage, just now the patriarch of the Liu family came with his two daughters, I have arranged them in the guest room of the castle, I wonder if you have time to meet them in person?" The old housekeeper's eyes flickered and looked at Zhao Hu who was looking through the list, and the look of wanting to speak made Zhao Hu curious.

The old butler seldom arranged his own itinerary on his own, but this time he unexpectedly asked if he wanted to see the other party's messenger, which obviously implied that there was something inconvenient to say.

"The Liu family? What did they come for? Take me to see them. "Zhao Hu still has a little impression of the Liu family, it is a small lord on the edge of his territory, and there are only a few small villages below, and he is only a small lord in the title, which is far from his own marquis.

"I think they're probably here to negotiate a marriage contract." Seeing the puzzled expression on his young master's face, the old housekeeper looked at Zhao Hu with a sigh, and the old housekeeper's words made Zhao Hu, who had just stood up, stand there.

"Engagement? Who does the Liu family have a marriage contract with? Zhao Hu looked at the embarrassed old housekeeper suspiciously, this poor family that suddenly appeared really surprised Zhao Hu, who thought he was still the "fifth diamond king".

"Last year, when the old man was seriously ill, he decided to set a marriage contract for the young master in the neighboring Liu family, although this caused a lot of opposition in the family, but the old man still insisted on making a marriage contract with the Liu family," the old housekeeper explained with a pale face.
