Dio, a person who was born as a housekeeper, was not timid in the face of hundreds of people, but looked arrogant, cleared his throat and shouted. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Listen, you damned captives! My commander, Lord Zhao Hu, has shown mercy this time and decided to spare your lowly lives and take you as servant soldiers!

"Remember! In the future, your master will be Lord Zhao Hu! Under the orders of Lord Zhao Hu, even in the face of your clansmen, you have to raise your weapons to serve your lordship! ”

Seeing that these captives didn't react, Dio couldn't help frowning and said to the people next to him, "Let them be in groups of ten, and then take them to the back to carry supplies." ”

The logistics soldiers hesitated.

There are nearly 1,000 captives below, just a few of them?

What to do if they eat it raw!

And Sun Jie, who knew the habits of these captives, immediately ran to the captives and shouted proudly.

"You, you, you, and you, line up, hurry, don't rub in!"

Usually he is commanded all day long, but now he can finally command people, of course, with a smug face.

When the logistics soldiers saw that Sun Jie who ran to the captives was not only safe and sound, but also shouted, the captives lined up obediently, and there was no resistance at all. I couldn't help but run down immediately.

They also want to taste what it is like to be a commander.

Geralt, who had just finished the report, hurried over, saw that the prisoners below had been sorted out, and couldn't help but hurriedly ask a cavalry squad leader who was monitoring the captives next to him.

"The captives have confirmed their owners?"

"What confirmed the master?"

The team leader looked puzzled.

"Do they know who they should be loyal to?" Geralt asked eagerly.

The team leader nodded with a "I see" expression and replied.

"Oh, it turned out to be this, just now Chief Zhao Hu's personal guards have told them that their master is Chief Zhao Hu."

"Ahem, it's a shame to be a step late!"

Geralt stomped his foot and said in annoyance, seeing him like this, several other cavalry team captains came to ask what was going on, and Geralt replied excitedly.

"You don't know, although these guys are stupid, but the perennial slave teaching, so that they will only obey their master's orders, and now the words of the guards have taken them all over for Chief Zhao Hu!

"I really regret that I didn't come sooner! Otherwise, I can take in a few servants! So why are the guards so clever? He actually knows how to recruit them in the name of Chief Zhao Hu? And not in the name of the brigade? ”

"Hey, that personal guard is Chief Zhao Hu's personal guard, of course, everything is for the sake of Lord Zhao Hu. What do you want these captives for? Sell it for money? Lord Zhao Hu is not a person who likes to eat alone, and after these captives are sold for money, they also have our share. ”

The squad leaders were all grinning and teasing Geralt, and they couldn't understand why Geralt was so excited.

Geralt sighed.

"Well, didn't you hear what I just said? Now they will only obey the orders of Chief Zhao Hu and send weapons to arm them, and Chief Zhao Hu is equivalent to having a private armed brigade that obeys him! ”

"Arm them? No way? They're captives! Aren't you afraid that they will rebel? The team leaders said in surprise.

"You don't know the character of the flag people of the Feimu Banner Alliance, they will say this, their servility has gone deep into the bones, and now even if Chief Zhao Hu orders them to kill each other, they will obey the order!"

As soon as Geralt said this, the team leaders were immediately dumbfounded.

"Really? Isn't this more pro-guard than a pro-guard? ”

Geralt knew that the servants did not have their share, and although he was full of chagrin, he still responded to his colleagues' questions kindly.

"Of course it's true, if you don't treat the guards well, the guards will disobey you; But these guys, even if you hit him, scold him, and abuse him, they will definitely carry out your orders to the letter.

"As long as you don't pass them on to someone else, or if someone takes them, they will obey your orders until the end of your life."

"Isn't this more slave than a slave? I knew that I would want him to be ten of them as my servant soldiers! ”

The squad leaders all looked remorseful, and the squad leader immediately reminded them.

"By the way, didn't you say you could forward it? Why don't you ask Chief Zhao Hu to forward a few to us? ”

Geralt squinted at the squad leader.

"If it were you, would you transfer such a servant soldier to someone else for no reason?"

The squad leader thought for a moment, shook his head helplessly, and sighed.

"It seems that I will have to wait until the next time I capture the bannermen, so that I can enjoy the feeling of having a personal guard......"

"Don't be stupid, as long as their leader is still there, they will attack at the mercy of the order, and they will not surrender as easily as they do now." Geralt reminded.

"Cough, it seems that Chief Zhao Hu is really lucky, their young master was cut down by the guards inexplicably, otherwise the young master hid behind and gave the order to attack, I'm afraid that our people would have died long ago." That's 2,000 cavalry, more than three times as many as ours! ”

When these squad leaders didn't say a word, the logistics soldiers had already taken those prisoners to quickly clean up the battlefield and carry supplies.

There was a lot of strength in numbers, and at dawn almost all the departments were ready, and fortunately a few months ago a batch of carriages were obtained from the wing headquarters, and at several fairs, a batch of carriages were exchanged.

After the carriage loaded all the stockpiled supplies and the wounded, it was able to bring the kitchen utensils of the brigade and other things that were not very important, so to speak, and all the things of the entire brigade were emptied.

One of the carriages was filled with hundreds of heads salted with lime and was named the "Ghost Carriage".

Seeing this, Zhao Hu couldn't help but smile bitterly. It's not like a retreat at all, it's more like a transfer of station.

"Sir, in which direction are we turning?"

The team leaders all stepped forward to wait for Zhao Hu's order.

Although I don't know the details, but the number of a million iron horsemen alone is enough to swallow the entire Wenbei Province, and I can say that the retreat has been blocked by the Feimu Banner Alliance, and now no one will be stupid enough to retreat directly.

But if you want to return to China, you can only return to the province of Vinci on the other side of the steppe, across thousands of kilometers.

Although this is not a human thing, if you don't want to stay here and be attacked by the Feimu Banner Alliance, then there is only this way.

Zhao Hu looked at the brief map equipped by the brigade and pointed to a place.

"We're moving in this direction."

The team leader who didn't understand the map could only nod dumbfounded, while the team leaders who knew the map were dumbfounded, and Geralt asked a little stammering.

"Sir, if we go in this direction, the distance will at least double, when will we be able to return home? Moreover, this route, the empire has no relevant intelligence, it may be a few days before encountering the Muqi station, we unknowingly crashed into it, we were either killed by the enemy, or lost, exhausted and starved to death! ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhao Hu nervously, and Zhao Hu sighed.

"There's no way, the other way is the supply line of those invading million iron horsemen, I believe that by taking that road, we will perish earlier.

"And although this road is dangerous, the Feimu Banner Alliance has already drawn out a million cavalry to fight, and the remaining troops, as long as they are careful not to be besieged by them, I believe there is no problem.

"Also, we can disguise ourselves as natives of these savannahs, and maybe the journey will be safe? The only difficulty is to travel farther...... You say, "Which way shall we go?" ”

Hearing Zhao Hu's words, the team leaders pondered for a moment, and then they all agreed to Zhao Hu's choice.

One is the road to death, the other is the road to ignorance of danger, and the phrase "put it to death and live after" does not need to be practiced all the time.

Now that he had made a decision, Zhao Hu also took nearly a hundred carriages and a large number of horses into the vast prairie.

After three days of rushing into the grassland, Zhao Hu and his party finally stopped to rest, and they were also in the mood to enjoy the scenery of the prairie.

Along the way, I don't know whether the prairie is vast and sparsely populated, or if I was lucky, I didn't meet a single herdsman at all. Dangerous creatures such as wild wolves saw such a large number of people, and they fled early.

Of course, Zhao Hu and they will not take it lightly, scouts are sent out from all directions, the farthest reconnaissance range during the day is limited to ten kilometers, and at night it is limited to two kilometers, this is no way, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back if I run too far, and it is useless if it is too close.

On this flat grassland, you can find the situation a kilometer away at any glance, you know, the team of nearly 100 carriages and thousands of war horses is very conspicuous.

"Sir, a total of 2,622 war horses were captured in the last battle, of which 581 were dead and wasted, and 345 were wounded.

"The men of the cavalry squadron originally wanted to equip each of them with three war horses, but considering that the servants were all excellent cavalry, and other infantry squadrons could also become cavalry, the subordinates only promised them two horses each, so that we were left with only a dozen or so empty horses."

Dio was dressed in a nomadic outfit, Zhao Hu and others were like this, wearing an imperial uniform in the prairie was tantamount to looking for death, and they were now disguised as merchants.

Zhao Hu nodded, those people from the cavalry squadron even made trouble for themselves about equipping double horses.

I don't blame them, the regular cavalry of the dignified empire only has one mount, and those nomadic cavalry are at least double cavalry, and many have three cavalry and four cavalry, and they feel that the imperial cavalry is pitiful to death.
