Chapter 170: The Gambling Contract
In the white sky of white clouds, a black dot is so conspicuous that everyone who lives on the grassland knows it, it is a goshawk! A goshawk hovering!
"Oops, found out!"
Metz felt her scalp start to tingle. In the process of maneuvering with his opponents, he discovered that this powerful tribe had many unexpected means, such as the eagle in the sky, as well as many hunting dogs, fast and bloody horse cavalry, powerful crossbow arrows, and so on. This mysterious tribe rose to prominence on this plateau almost overnight, and unbelievably annihilated the Aleti tribe, becoming a hegemon.
In the past, the Aliti tribe could tolerate them living in this land, but the new overlord was very domineering, and as soon as he made a move, he swallowed more than a dozen horse bandit gangs in a row, as well as many small tribes, and seemed to be unwilling to give up until the forces in this area were wiped out.
Metz and his men were almost packed up several times, but it was only by luck and familiarity with the terrain that they managed to escape. He thinks his whereabouts are stealthy enough, but the other party can always find him easily. After learning from the pain, he only noticed some details, every time before the other party appeared, there was always a black dot in the sky hovering above his head, and even if he stood out, he would be bitten tightly by those pesky hounds.
After some thought, Metz found a way to deal with it. He leads his men day and night, evading surveillance from the skies and using the river to deal with hounds.
After patiently dormant for a while, Metz began his plan of revenge. He first chose a secret place under the nose of the other party, and every time he attacked, he came and went like the wind, never entangled, and once he succeeded, he hid back, and at the same time created some signs of crossing the river and fleeing south to confuse the other party. In this way, he escaped the other party's two searches unharmed.
This time, he thought to himself that he was perfect, and he must have played his opponent around like the previous two times. Unexpectedly, things did not develop as he thought, and the time to come still came, although they occupied the extremely dangerous terrain here, and could cope with more than ten times the enemy's attacks, but at the same time, this place was also a dead land, once the entrance and exit were blocked, there was no way out except for the almost cliff-like mountain in the back mountain.
When the eagle hovered in the sky, Metz knew he had been spotted, and he was not so proud that he thought his eyesight was better than that of the eagles in the sky.
"What are you afraid of, let's rush out and fight him to the death!" The beard threw away the leg of mutton in his hand, drew his scimitar, and encouraged everyone.
"Yes, let them see, we're not bastards."
"Fight, kill one enough!" "Fight!"
Everyone shouted and clamoured, looking at death as home, but it was a big deal that he would be a good man again after eighteen years.
Metz planned this attack, not only to retaliate, but also to buy the tribe a little respite, but because of his arrogance and arrogance, he brought disaster to his subordinates, and Metz was quite remorseful and blamed himself.
"Listen to me! There, there are your relatives, who are still waiting for you to return safely, and do not talk about dying in battle. It's my incompetence that has caused you a burden. ”
Metz stood on the stone, pointed to the west, and said emotionally.
"General!" The crowd seemed to have a premonition.
"Don't speak, listen to me." Metz is overbearing.
"Beard, you lead them to evacuate from the back mountain, and I will stop them. When he returned, he went to seek refuge in Asilandagan and found a place to stay, so that he would not have to fight any more uselessly. ”
Beard shook his head and said, "No, general, I'll go and block them, you and the soldiers will evacuate, and the tribe can't live without you." ”
Metz was in a hurry, and shouted undoubtedly: "Where is so much nonsense, dare to disobey my orders?" Execute it immediately. ”
"General, hey!" The beard bowed his head sadly.
"Let's go, what's the grind, time is running out." Metz drew his scimitar and urged them viciously.
"So, these war horses?"
The beard looked at a group of sweaty horses on the mountainside in embarrassment, and his eyes showed reluctance. He wanted to suggest that it be better to kill it than to fall into the hands of the enemy, but out of deep affection for the warhorse, he could not bear to say it.
Metz reluctantly looked at his sweaty horse that was like life, and hesitated a few times before he gave up his mind and said, "Kill them all, you can't cheapen them." ”
"Ah, no, General, don't. Perhaps, maybe they will not embarrass the general for the sake of this group of sweaty and bloody horses. As long as we're alive, there's still a chance to snatch it back. ”
Beard and several of his subordinates spoke out to stop Metz.
Metz smiled bitterly and didn't insist, he knew that the feelings of his subordinates for the war horse had transcended their respective lives.
"Get out of here!"
Metz swung his knife and slashed through the air.
Bearded men they are horse bandits and mountain bandits at the same time. In this plateau and mountainous area to make a living, there are still some kinds of escape skills, and the steep mountains are not difficult for them. In this Jedi, they had already reserved a way to retreat, and the dozen or so long ropes and rope ladders they relied on to escape were hidden on the top of the mountain.
On a somewhat steep hillside, Flying Eagle finally meets the leader of the horse bandits, Metz, who has been missing the dragon for a long time.
"I'm Metz, ask the general's name."
Riding on the sweaty horse of a divine steed, Metz calmly hugged his fist to the approaching Flying Eagle.
"Li Feiying." The cold and concise answer made Metz quite unhappy and curious at the same time.
"Surname Li? Han? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, it's war or peace, just be it."
The Flying Eagle couldn't wait to pounce on him and kill him, so as to vent his heart.
"What about war, and what about peace?" Metz reciprocated with a cold voice.
The Flying Eagle could see that he was stalling for time, and before he could get close, this Madz drove hundreds of horses to rush towards him, slowing down the Flying Eagle's advance. The flying eagle lost patience and waved his hand: "Take it for me!" ”
In front of Metz, hundreds of knights had already opened their formation, raised the horned bows in their hands, and the half-wound arrows were aimed at Metz, as long as he gave an order, Metz would instantly become a hedgehog. Fortunately, Feiying changed his mind, maybe because of his talents, maybe because of the more than 100 sweaty horses that came into view, or maybe more because he admired Maze's courage and character.
Rationally giving up fearless resistance, leaving the chance of survival to his subordinates, and preserving the precious sweat and blood horses, this is tantamount to showing goodwill. Flying Eagle felt that Metz was a respectable opponent and didn't embarrass him too much.
Li Huaitang was a little surprised, he didn't expect the result to be like this. Still, he admires Matz. Not only because of his excellent command, but also because he knows how to maintain his subordinates and cherish and value the lives of his subordinates.
"I'll make an exception to give you a chance, as long as you order your subordinates to come and surrender, they will all be regarded as my Guangming Ministry, and those who are willing to join the army are also welcome."
"Haha, I appreciate the general's favor to Metz, but unfortunately, I can't obey my fate, because now I am no longer their leader." Metz did not humble or arrogantly rejected Li Huaitang's kindness.
"You're looking for death!" The six monkeys drew their scimitars and tried to slash at them.
Li Huaitang stopped the exaggerated actions of the six monkeys and said, "Can you speak Tang Yan?" But the Tang people? ”
Hearing this, Metz showed a trace of sadness, and stopped talking.
After waiting for a long time, and seeing Metz answer, Li Huaitang said again: "So, have you made up your mind to be a slave?" If so, it's a pity. ”
"I'd rather die than be your slave, no one can make me a slave!"
Metz roared angrily. The word slave deeply stimulated his nerves.
Li Huaitang gave him a thumbs up and said with a smile: "There is a kind! Shall I give you another chance to make a fair bet? ”
Metz snorted coldly: "Bet on it, who's afraid of whom?" ”
"Well, it's refreshing. As long as you beat me, you can get out of here. If you are unfortunate enough to lose to me, how about making me a servant soldier? ”
Li Huaitang looked at Metz with a smile, and his confident appearance seemed to be celebrating the victory in advance.
"It's a deal!"
This bet was still very tempting for Metz, and Metz bowed his head and agreed after only thinking about it for a moment.
The "duel" was arranged in the unfinished city of Ningyuan. In the city, there is a wide enough place for cavalry battles. Thousands of soldiers of the Ministry of Light formed a large circle and waited with interest for the upcoming fight. Especially those soldiers who have never seen the power of Li Huaitang are full of expectations, and they can finally see the terrifying force of the legendary general.
"Six monkeys, the general he ......"
The female cavalry was also in the audience, and Ye Ji was more anxious than anyone else, and worry was written all over her pretty face.
The six monkeys disagreed, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, as long as the general is willing, you can knock that stupid big guy off the horse with a face." Sister don't worry. ”
Ye Ji didn't speak again, and the six monkeys' comforting words didn't reassure her, even though she had already heard that her Shiro was invincible, but she only experienced it in some ways. After all, there are no eyes on the battlefield, in case ......
With a burst of cheers, Li Huaitang appeared on the stage, riding a sweaty horse, wearing cotton armor, holding a Tang knife, and his expression looked very relaxed.
"The Admiral is so majestic!"
A crisp exclamation came from Ye Ji's side, it was the youngest soldier among the female cavalry, and even in the entire Light Division, An Luo'er. Because of her excellent riding skills, Ye Ji left her in the female cavalry and became her personal soldier. Ye Ji is beautiful and moving, but she has already inserted the label of a general, and no one dares to make up her mind. As soon as An Luo'er, who was also very beautiful, appeared, all the eyes of the opposite sex lit up, and from time to time they cast a hungry wolf's unique gaze at her.
"Huh!?"
When Li Huaitang's opponent appeared in An Luo'er's sight, An Luo'er panicked.
