In fact, if Lao Luo is alone, he can come and go freely and become a traveler in the world, without any concerns, and at the same time, he also believes that he can not care about the enemy's attack, nor do he care about natural dangers, and the military experience of the future generations plus the physical mutation through the space and even the space he carries with him will be his survival capital.

But man always has to pursue something, and when he decides to do something, he begins to carry a burden, and it is of his own free will. From the time he accepted Naga and Mnachi in the Maasai tribe, he began to surround himself with more and more people, and now he had to think not only about his own goals, but also about the lives and fate of those around him.

When there are a hundred people, it is no longer the time for three or five people, especially when the population of this world is far less dense than that of later generations. Leaving Athens was because he didn't want to destroy the peace of the city, avoiding the prying eyes of the governor of Athens, and revealing his financial resources here.

Fortunately, at least for now, you can still choose and control, the further you go, the greater the resistance, because if you succeed in taking away the descendants of the Tang people in the artisan battalion, you are destined to offend the Abbasids, and if you don't do it, there will be an army to chase you, and at the same time, it will inevitably be harassed by the Turks. In order not to panic when facing a team of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, the best start is in front of you.

The cavalry captain of Smyrna should be a greedy and ruthless person, and at the same time, his position can also confirm that the other party is at least a guy who knows some military strategy, Lao Luo has more than 100 people, and the other party will definitely understand the combat power of this side. Then to deal with your own people, but also to ensure the secrecy of the news, the other party must have a team of at least three hundred people, so the integration of subordinates must be accelerated, and the state must be adjusted to the best.

Lao Luo grabbed the leader of a few war slaves, plus Naga, Mnaqi, Cui Shibalang and others had a small meeting, and everyone heard of someone staring at his team. So when Lao Luo said that there would be robbery when he left Smyrnadong, everyone's reaction was different, but no one showed fear and timidity.

"Boss, now that we know who the other party is, why don't we kill them first?" It was the guy Gonzas who spoke, and from what he said, I knew that this guy was expecting to take the initiative to attack, that is, as the saying goes, the first strike, the East and the West have different sayings, but the truth is always the same. However, it is right to grasp the initiative, and it is not appropriate to blindly take the initiative.

So Lao Luo followed the other party's train of thought and continued: "You can kill him first, but what about after you kill him?" The murderer will definitely be searched in the city of Smyrna, we only have more than a hundred people, how can we deal with the strength of a city? ”

"Maybe you can use some people to act, and the others to withdraw first." It was Siedek Nord, who was in charge of discipline, who rarely spoke, but now it seems that he is also a war maniac.

"No, if someone moves, they will be immediately discovered by the other party, and once the power is dispersed, it will be easier to be attacked by the other party." Alker's men were always watching each other's movements, and what he said was an unavoidable reality.

"You can't passively wait for the other party to come to the door!" Gonzas's temper was still a little hot, and he slapped the table with his thick arm and said.

"It's good to wait for the other party to come to the door, but it's hard to say whether it's passive, now that we already know, then there is no longer a passive statement." Lao Luo saw that everyone was about to quarrel, so he no longer observed everyone's performance, he said slowly: "Since we already know the purpose of the other party, then if we are prepared, although we may have fewer people than the other party, but, is there anything to be afraid of?" ”

"Don't be afraid, all of us are training at least every day, and the soldiers of the other side only train once every seven days," Alker made a detailed understanding of the other party's news, "And most of our people are people who have died once, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

"That's right, that's the truth, we've all died once, what are you afraid of?" Gonzhas was no longer annoyed, and the emotions of the people around him calmed down suddenly, but everyone's eyes seemed to have a fire beating.

People's hearts are available, Lao Luo is quite emotional, although the people of this era believe that the strong are kings, but these former gladiators were defeated by the Byzantines and became slaves, how can there be no resentment in the bottom of their hearts? "Well, now that the direction has been decided, everyone is beginning to prepare for the future enemy. Gonzas, thou shalt count our men, and make a list of those who are good at bows and arrows and horsemanship. This is a frontal assault similar to a small corps, not a squad-style battle. ”

"No problem, boss." Gonzas, a Thracian, was also a war veteran, and his previous defeat was nothing to his experience.

"Alc, your men need to master the art of riding as soon as possible, and if necessary, we need to pursue the fleeing enemy." Lao Luo then gave the order.

"Yes, boss." Entering Smyrna, he was already active, and Alk felt that his life was no longer like a pool of stagnant water waiting for someone else's decision, everything was provided by the master in front of him.

"Stan, I'll give you some bows and arrows when I get back, and you can get someone to take care of them. It was then distributed among the archers selected by Gonzas. "Stan's tasks are always complicated, and the logistics are actually very busy, and he is running out of manpower, but Lao Luo can't do anything at the moment, so he can't pull people into the team for some reason, so he can only hope to find some good hands in the artisan camp in Baku.

"Yes, boss." Stan's voice is rough, and the big man scratches his head and says, "Some of our people like to throw spears, and some of us like to throw axes, don't you......"

"Okay, I'll find some spears, as for throwing axes......" Lao Luo pondered for a while, remembering that he had ordered many similar miscellaneous items in Cairo, and the axes were one of them, "The axe surface is also available, and the axe handle is for you to arrange someone to make it." ”

There is no need to mention how to arrange everyone's tasks next, in short, the entire team of more than 100 people took action, including Al Hesyan, an otaku who practiced riding when he had nothing to do, Li Yu, a fire girl, also practiced bows and arrows with the maid Gerina and four female men, and the battle slaves were divided into three groups as a whole, archers, cavalry, and infantry, Lao Luo's large shield, bow and arrow, and prefabricated spears in Mombasa, all of which came in handy.

Fortunately, the area of this inn is large enough, and it is not a high-rise building in the style of a pigeon cage in later generations. In fact, the inns of this period basically contained the functions of greeting guests, retinues, and mounts. In this era, people did not go out with three or two people, nobles or wealthy merchants often carried a large number of slaves, mounts and carriages, and even tableware for eating.

That kind of huge caravan may even reach the number of a thousand people, so Lao Luo's team of more than 100 people is at most a middle- and lower-sized caravan, and it is really nothing in the eyes of this kind of inn merchant who specializes in receiving caravans, at most there are more military servants and fewer maids, compared to the direction Lao Luo is going, this ratio really doesn't explain anything.

It is still necessary to prevent the necessary snooping, but fortunately, there are tall courtyard walls around the hotel, and send a few people to handle the high part of the courtyard wall, so that outsiders can only hear the sound inside, but not see the human figure. The staff at the hotel will not easily come to disturb them without being called.

Lao Luo arranged everything, inspected the situation of everyone again, and found that there was nothing to change in the short term, so he simply found a secluded corner, set up a disc standard arrow target, and then took out the iron tire bow that he had used and kept shooting arrows. The bearing capacity of this iron tire bow is very large, according to the measurement method of the ancients, there should be enough to have four to five stone pull, it is difficult for ordinary people to open a full bow to shoot arrows, Lao Luo went to the bow and bow two hundred meters away, and the arrows entered the target, each arrow simply did not have a trace of arc straight into the target, and because the iron arrow was used, the huge string force and the strong arrow body, many arrows shot through the wooden target.

When he shot thirty arrows and stopped, Li Ji, who was watching from the side, ran towards the arrow target with the stunned Ge Rina and four female men. Not to mention that the arrow target was smashed, only thirty iron arrows pierced on it were enough to make the arrow target into a sieve, Lao Luo didn't need to get close to see the result, now his eyesight is more powerful than before, on a sunny day, the vole within a five-hundred-meter field of vision is male or female, as for archery, I dare not say that if you want to shoot a vole, the eye will not shoot the tail, and the body will be shot.

Due to the increase in strength, it also increased the stability of Lao Luo's arm strength, and with the original foundation, he can now act as a special sniper, albeit with iron arrows instead of sniper rifles. Speaking of the power of weapons, the power of iron arrows is not necessarily weaker than that of rifle bullets, but the destructive power of arrows is stronger than bullets.

Li Ji collected the iron arrows on the arrow target, set up a new target, and ran back, "Third brother, your arrows are so powerful!" ”

Lao Luo looked at her ruddy and delicate little face, and said happily in his heart: "Siniang, in fact, archery requires three things, and anyone can be very powerful." ”

"Tell me, what are the three?" Li Ji couldn't help but pull Lao Luo's arm and asked.

"Strength, eyesight, and stability, these three things are the most basic things." Lao Luo said while gesturing: "With strength, you can pull a stronger bow, with eyesight can you accurately observe the target, and with a stable body can you shoot the target." ”

"Stable?" Li Ji muttered a little puzzled.

"Yes, stability is not only about the body, you have the strength, but you keep shaking when you hold the bow, how can you not say stability, right? And psychologically, the target is coming at you, and you panic in your heart, and your arm is no longer in control, so you don't know where your arrows will go. Lao Luo explained in detail, and Li Ji and everyone next to him were also listening carefully, and then from time to time someone nodded and began to practice their own archery after understanding.

Li Ji was obviously also a perceptive person, and she pondered for a while before raising her hardwood bow and slowly pulling the arrow. Lao Luo slowly walked behind her, "The so-called stability is not to be motionless, but to experience the law of arm shaking, control the rhythm of breathing, and then release the arrow at the moment of aiming." ”

Perhaps Lao Luo's words played a role in psychological suggestion, Li Ji's arm became more and more stable, and then he heard a "whoosh", and the arrow left the string and directly hit the bull's-eye in the distance. "I shot, I shot!" Excited, Li Ji jumped up happily, then turned around and hugged Lao Luo.

Lao Luo, who was at a loss, had no choice but to hold Li Ji's shoulder and patted it lightly a few times, "Good job, Siniang, very powerful!" ”

Lao Luo's face blushed when he spoke, and Li Ji's face, who had woken up, turned even redder, and he didn't say anything more, turned around and ran away. However, Ge Rina, who was originally practicing archery on the side, and the four female men laughed, and Zhang Lu, who was watching from a distance, slowly walked over.
