Chapter 1413: The Rogues (3)
No wonder he looked so much, due to the suppression of the two major powers in the Southeast Peninsula, except for the bantam horses that were only used for packing, there were not many war horses that could charge into battle, so on the Southeast Peninsula, cavalry was equal to the ultimate power.

The indifferent young man shook his head and said, "Although it's a pity, this kind of guy who doesn't listen to orders, let them fend for themselves." ”
After calming down, the thin young man hesitated for a moment and asked, "Third Uncle, how many cavalry can the nobles of the Augustus Empire have?" ”
"There is no limit, as long as there is money and war horses, no matter how many cavalry you have, you can raise them, because as long as these cavalry are slaves, then no one will care at all." The indifferent youth said.
"Then how many cavalry can the third uncle see in this place?" The boy looked around a little nervously.
At this moment, they had already rushed across the beach, and they had already rushed into the woods with fast movements.
"Look at the dock made of wood, you can know that this is not a big noble, a hundred cavalry at most."
The indifferent young man said casually.
"A hundred cavalry? We should be able to kill them, right? The boy asked again.
"Surround them in the woods, and if a third of us die, we should be able to kill them. If it's on flat ground, it's great to be able to drive them away. The indifferent young man said bitterly.
The cavalry was the most powerful fighting force in this era, and the infantry could only accept the slaughter of the cavalry in the open field, and had no resistance at all.
When the boy wanted to ask something, the sound of swishing came from a distance, and the people in front did not hear it at all, and continued to rush forward, while the people who heard the sound behind them all turned their heads to look around, and when they found that nearly a hundred cavalrymen rushed out of the jungle on the side behind them, everyone was dumbfounded.
The indifferent young man was the first to come to his senses and shouted, "Fast into the jungle!" ”
Everyone else is smart, and idiot infantry fights cavalry on endless sandy beaches, and now the only way to counteract the cavalry's combat effectiveness is to rely on the terrain. So all of a sudden, these rogues in the back of the line cheered, shook off their feet and chased after their companions in front.
With his subordinates to monitor these rogues with the old knife, he wanted to go back to report when he saw the rogues coming ashore, but the prisoner who stayed behind to monitor by the way because he saw the other party's cleverness reminded the old knife to burn down the fishing boats of these rogues.
The habit of fighting in the steppe made the flag keepers have a few rockets in their quivers, so with a wave of the old knife, he took his subordinates back to the side, waiting to set fire to the fishing boats and cut off the retreat of the rogues.
The old knife raised his hand, and the hundred cavalrymen had already put the ignited rockets on their bows, waiting for an order to set the dozens of fishing boats on fire.
Although a hundred rockets are a little less, who told the rogues to go ashore without leaving any people behind?
No one put out the fire, even a single rocket fired by a ship was enough to burn the ship.
Just as the order was given to fire, the captive stopped the old knife again.
"My lord, looking at the appearance of these rogues, they don't dare to rush to the beach to fight with the cavalry of the adults, it is better for us to stay here, and then burn the ship when they retreat and we can't stand it, if Lord Zhao Hu defeats them directly, then we will have so many more ships at once."
Although Lao Dao didn't have much knowledge, he could still distinguish between good and bad things. Although a hundred cavalry is terrifying against more than two thousand infantry, after all, cavalry can only play a role if they charge. But the thought of being able to capture these dozens of fishing boats is a great achievement.
Anyway, if those rogues dare to attack, they will burn the boat and slap their butts and leave.
Thinking of this, the old knife immediately waved his hand.
"Go to the five ten-captains and lead people to put away these broken ships, and it's better to set fire to them later!"
"Third uncle, they want to seize our warship!" The boy looked back and saw that the cavalry had begun to dismount and gather up the fishing boats, and immediately shouted in a panic.
"Ignore it, keep up." The indifferent young man just turned his head and glanced at it, and then hurried forward in a cold voice.
The young man was stunned for a moment, looked at the people around him and did not stop, but continued to shuttle through the forest, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Third uncle, why don't we take the warship back?" They only have a hundred cavalry! And if they burn the ship, how can we go back? ”
The indifferent young man said in a deep voice: "We are only the vanguard, there are still a large number of people behind, and as long as we loot the property, the people who hear the wind will naturally flock to it, plus we are all good at making the tide, this distance is not a problem at all, so we don't have to care about the problem of the warship at all."
"Why don't you go for these hundred cavalry? Thinking about what I just said, don't forget that we are a rabble, and who wants to give up their possessions to fight these scattered cavalry? ”
When the young man heard this, he thought for a moment, and then a worried look appeared on his face. Third uncle, since the owner of this place can send a hundred cavalry to cut off our back road, there must be a more powerful enemy ahead, third uncle, are we really here this time to rob the property that keeps the village alive? ”
When the young man said this, his face was already heavy, and the dozen or so cronies who followed the young man immediately subconsciously guarded the surroundings.
The indifferent young man was stunned for a moment, and then touched the young man's head with a smile for the first time, and said with relief: "Very good, being able to see the overall situation from these details shows that you have made progress." ”
The young man did not speak, but just looked at the indifferent young man quietly.
The indifferent young man knew that this teenager needed answers, he looked at the somewhat dense jungle, sighed and said, "What do you think is needed to revitalize my family?" ”
Maybe the young man didn't know how many times he thought about this question, and blurted out: "A rich land, loyal and capable retainers, and an incomparably powerful army!" ”
"Can we have these three conditions?" The indifferent young man said expressionlessly.
The young man's excited expression disappeared immediately, and he shook his head lonely.
"How can we, who can only nest in the mountains and rack our brains to work for rations, revitalize our family? Now there is only one way, to take refuge in a powerful force. The indifferent young man said in a heavy tone.
"Third uncle, Mingyue City is surrounded by our enemies, who can we turn to?" The boy was puzzled.
Could it be that he has taken refuge in the forces far away from Bright Moon City? In this way, when and what month can I return to Bright Moon City?
As for the matter of taking refuge in other forces, the young man doesn't care, or the people on the Southeast Peninsula don't care, as long as the family exists, he can take refuge in anyone.
As soon as the young man finished saying that, he suddenly woke up and said, "Take refuge in the Augustus Empire!" Does the third uncle have such a way? ”
He is now a little excited, in the eyes of the people on the southeast peninsula, the Augustus Empire is the dazzling sun in the sky, think about the places where the powerful princes have worked hard all their lives to complete the great ambition of unification, it is better to divide the other party into a province, you can know how powerful the Augustus Empire is.
The indifferent young man smiled bitterly: "How can this be possible? In the hearts of the magnates of the Augustus Empire, we are not even a gang of thieves, how can we accept our refuge? My target is the magnates of this waterfront area. ”
The young man thought for a moment and asked again, "Third uncle, how is the owner of this land?" ”
"We must first see the strength that this person has, and at the same time, we must also see whether the other party accepts us or not, so don't think nonsense, all this is only possible if we fight bravely on the battlefield and survive."
The indifferent young man stopped talking after speaking, because the rogues in front of him had already cheered, indicating that they had seen the trace of the town.
Zhao Hu led hundreds of cavalry and silently looked at the rogue who roared out of a jungle in the distance.
Looking at these rogues, I don't know why, Zhao Hu felt as if he was looking at a group of ants.
Zhao Hu drew his bow and slapped his horse, shouted, and rushed towards the group of screaming rogues like arrows, and the hundreds of servant soldiers behind Zhao Hu also shouted loudly, and it was only an instant to complete the process from stationary to galloping.
The rogue, who had just broken out of the jungle, saw the vast and magnificent town on a wide flat land in the distance, and his eyes immediately turned red with excitement.
If it was a town built of stone, they would still consider the cost of conquering such a town, but it was only a town surrounded by wooden fences, so they didn't care about it at all, so they rushed forward excitedly at the first time.
However, they didn't get excited for long, so they stopped their steps and looked at the scene in front of them in a daze.
I saw a series of black shadows rushing out of the wooden fence quickly, and then these black shadows rushed in a row, the roar, the swift speed, all indicated the identity of the other party - cavalry!
The rogues couldn't help but groan.
Is this still not a way to live?
It is said that the Augustus Empire lacks ships and horses, how can the lord of such a remote place make hundreds of cavalry? Could it be that the Augustian Empire conquered the steppes?
However, they did not panic much, but turned and hid in the jungle under the loud yelling of the leader.
The captives who were waiting on horseback in the town looked at the situation in the distance with a little nervousness.
They really didn't pay attention to the thousands of rogues, what made them care was that Zhao Hu actually armed his prisoners, if it weren't for all the officers to return to their posts and sternly warn them to obey orders, I am afraid that many soldiers would have the idea of fleeing on horseback, after all, everyone longs for freedom.
Although some of the soldiers were reluctant to serve their captors, they could only respond with silence under the suppression of the officers.
Fortunately, these officers were very cooperative, otherwise one of them stood up and shouted, and the town might have been breached.
