Chapter 394: Cato
Under the intimidation of the two Sarion knights, the villagers had no room to refuse, and the 50 peasants were called out and left the village as prisoners, and if they were lucky, they would have a chance to return to their hometowns once the war was over.
Zhang Yang brought his knife and long wooden stick, and the knights of Saarion who led the team did not care about these details, they just stayed in front of the team to prevent deserters.
The recruits' equipment and weapons are said to be issued only when they travel to Payne Town, and they will all be transferred to the Saarion Recruits, which will be another class upgrade route, which is more advanced than the farmer's upgrade route.
Zhang Yang couldn't help but look forward to it.
The road is difficult, and the town of Payne is about 100 miles southwest of Marions City, and only 15 miles from the village of Hadley, where Zhang Yang is located.
These were all things he had heard during this time, because the most frequented place for the farmers in Hadley Village was the town of Payne, where at least half of the farmers were tenants and serfs of Baron Charles, and the town of Payne was the fief of Baron Charles .
Therefore, even at the moment of the outbreak of war, that scribe still had the courage to dare to recruit new soldiers with only two Sarrion knights, on the one hand, this is Baron Charles's domain, the base camp, and on the other hand, compared to the front line of the war with the Daxia, the town of Payne is really in the rear, a safe zone.
After all, the kingdom of Sarion is thousands of miles deep, and the Daxia people don't have four legsβwell, they seem to have six legs.
When he thought of this question, Zhang Yang couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, the Daxia people, but they are natural raiders, just like the Mongolian cavalry, they come and go like the wind-
Before the thought had fallen, a violent sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, not many in number, but terrifying.
"Assemble, quick!"
"Prepare for battle, it's the Gatu!"
The shouts of the knight of Sarion in front of him were like the screams of a great white goose with a broken string, mixed with the cries of the scribe.
The recruits who have just been recruited have all blown up the camp, and they are in formation? How can I get married?
Behind the sparse woods in the distance, more than a dozen cavalrymen have appeared, they are like swimming fish swimming in the deep sea, on horseback with the galloping of the war horse, light and fluttering, this superb riding skill makes their war horse gallop extremely fast.
"Four Cato lancers, six Cato nomads, two Cato raiders, I'll make up!"
The name and number of enemies have automatically floated in Zhang Yang's eyes at this time, which is a benefit given to him by the wanderer system, as long as the enemy enters a clear field of vision, specific data can be given.
"I can't beat it, but this half-human deep grass in the wild may be able to hide, if the blood sacrifice cousin's talent is still there. β
Zhang Yang thought quickly, while observing the offensive intentions of the Catu, and at the same time observing the only two Saarion knights on his side, he was helpless, why did there be no enemy troops in the rear of the war, but the Cato people came?
"Joseph, rush over, must rush over!"
The knight who was pressing in the back rushed up from the pat horse and shouted at the knight in front of him, who seemed to be in a bit of a mess, "We must pass the news to the Baron, as for these recruits, they should be able to delay for us for a while, and we can't escape." β
"What shall I do? Ron, Joseph, take me, please!"
The scribe shouted in despair.
But the two Sarion knights paid no heed, and each took out his spear and charged at the Gatu, who was already less than six hundred meters away.
Their choice was undoubtedly correct, because in the flamboyant field of vision, the cavalry level of the Cato lancers was as high as level 7, and the speed of the war horse was fast, how could they escape?
At this time, the four Cato lancers on the opposite side also raised their cavalry guns and rushed in a straight line, while the six Cato raiders spread out from the two wings, each taking off their bows and arrows, ready to harass at any time, after all, with such a fast horse speed, it is difficult to hit the target in the move.
Zhang Yang naturally fled desperately in the direction he came from with the other recruits at this time, the only difference was that he did not panic, paying attention to the surrounding environment while observing the battle situation behind.
Soon, he pretended to fall, threw himself into the grass, and as soon as he rolled, he was buried in a small ditch only half a meter deep, which was left after the upstream flood.
Zhang Yang immediately got up and ran down the ditch downstream, about a few dozen meters away, as the terrain gradually lowered, the depth of this ditch really expanded.
On the ground, even if there is only a small slope, as long as the rainstorm is strong enough and the water flow is large enough, then it can break through a huge trench on the seemingly flat ground.
He couldn't escape the Cato in this battle, and he didn't think that he would survive if he outran all his companions, so finding the right terrain to hide in was the most important thing.
He couldn't care at all about the outcome of the battle in the distance, he could already hear the sound of horses' hooves, just behind the side, and his time was running out.
In just half a minute, Zhang Yang bent down and rushed out hundreds of meters, and the impact depth of the ditch here was already one meter, and various arcs of potholes were formed on both sides.
But he could not take any further precautions, so he lay down on his side, as close as possible to the hole on the left side of the ditch, so that the Cato would not be able to see him when they crossed the ditch with a glance.
That's for sure, those Cato people won't let go of such a small ditch, but since there are dozens of targets ahead, it is estimated that they will not stop and search carefully.
The next moment, as it was, the Cato easily jumped over the ditch.
"One, two, three......"
Zhang Yang silently calculated in his heart, in just half a minute, a total of eight Cato people crossed the ditch to pursue, but there were still four Cato people who did not rush over, and they could not hear the sound of their horses' hooves.
"Gotta gamble. β
Zhang Yang gritted his teeth, those recruits who escaped couldn't run for long, they would be killed or captured as long as they were caught up, and he couldn't expect the people of Cato to be satisfied and retreat directly.
"Whoosh!"
Zhang Yang jumped up and continued to sprint down the ditch, at this time the ditch was getting deeper and deeper, it was almost two meters, but what made him desperate was that the front suddenly opened up-
Why, this doesn't make sense!
Zhang Yang was very confused.
"Stomp, stomp!"
There was a sound of horses' hooves, not very urgent, as if they were playing in the mountains and rivers, and then a Gato nomad appeared in the open sight.
Spicy next door!
What bad things did Lao Tzu do in his last life?
Zhang Yang was overwhelmed with grief and indignation, while the Gato nomads on the other side cracked their mouths and smiled brightly.
Yes, both sides are recruits, and the Cato nomads are the most basic unit of the Cato class.
And the Sarion Recruit is also the most basic unit of the Sarion Kingdom's troops.
However, the king and the calf have horses!
Although he only wore a leather robe with patches, the king had a knife.
Swish!
The bright scimitar was unsheathed, and the opponent's extremely skillful horse rushed forward.
The distance between the two sides is less than 40 meters.
Zhang Yang was very cowardly to turn around and run, not to run back, but to run on the dirt slope on the side of the ditch, but the soil on this dirt slope was soft, and he only fell down halfway up, and the only gain was two lumps of soil.
The sound of the horse's hooves was already behind him, Zhang Yang turned around violently, and two handfuls of dirt were raised, one at the Nagatu nomad, and the other at the war horse, at the same time, he dodged a knife to the side, and at the moment when the war horse neighed and the Nagatu nomad scolded angrily, he quickly reached out his left hand, followed the direction of the stirrup's exit, pulled the opponent's left leg, and pulled down violently!
At the moment when the Nagatu nomad fell to the ground, Zhang Yang pulled out a knife, and a hungry tiger pounced on it, and the knife in his hand was inserted into the back of the opponent's heart with great precision, and at the same time let go, stepped forward to strangle the opponent's neck, and pulled it up violently.
"Quack!"
A few seconds later, Zhang Yang stood up panting, thanks to the fact that he was an old driver and had a lot of combat experience, otherwise he would have really overturned this time.
And killed a Gatu nomad, because the opponent started at level 10, Zhang Yang also upgraded one level at this time, gaining an attribute point, a skill point, and 10 weapon proficiency points.
After hesitating for a second, Zhang Yang's eyes looked at the war horse that was parked more than ten meters away, and in an instant, a line of information emerged.
"Prairie Hunting Horse, Protection 20, Speed 40, Handling 36, Charge 17, Health 130, Harness Requirements, Riding Level 2. β
ββ
"Mother, it's done!"
Zhang Yang added a little intelligence to himself first, and instantly gained an additional 1 skill point (note: game setting)
At this point, he has two skill points, find the riding skill option in the attribute bar, and point all of them to reach riding level 2.
However, Zhang Yang didn't feel anything, and he didn't have some kind of riding knowledge in his head, which made him quite entangled, but at this time, it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he could only throw away the long wooden stick and quickly stripped the Nagatu nomads to the ground.
Truth be told, even the lowliest nomad was richer than his farmer.
"Shhh β
Then, Zhang Yang made a certain sound from his mouth, tentatively approaching the steppe hunting horse, and the moment his right hand unconsciously grabbed the horse's chew, his body was like an electric shock, and something seemed to awaken in the depths of his veins.
One rolled over and jumped on the horse's back, and the feeling was even stronger, and he didn't even need to think about how to control it, the body was complete.
"Drive!"
A clamp on the horse's belly, the wind blows, the earth flies back, the rhythmic horse's hooves gallop, and the body involuntarily responds, as if it is walking against the wind, which is really cool!
After a moment, Zhang Yang took a sip, his face full of disdain.
Lao Tzu is a person who used to be the sword for nine days, please don't drop the price so much, okay?
