Chapter Fifty-Eight: Fight Now
The sun was still warm at noon, Long Qiupeng stood on the platform on the wall, looking at the team below, that team was not small, all riding horses. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Long Qiupeng didn't count them, but at a glance, there were about thirty or so, and there were no women or children, indicating that there were still people stationed elsewhere and did not follow them to the outside of Vulcan Village. The one who started was supposed to be their leader, and in the words of Wolf Fang, he knew that this man's name was Wind Desert.
"You will give me what I want, they said!" Before Long Qiupeng could speak, Feng Mo immediately shouted at Long Qiupeng. But the people behind got off their horses and stood.
As rumored to be, there are no saddle stirrups, and the horses are ridden by holding their stomachs between their legs, and their legs are very tired, so when they don't need to ride, they try to get off their horses to rest. And the chief, probably because he wanted to show off, kept riding on his horse, holding the horse's rope and mane with both hands to help himself not fall off the horse.
Long Qiupeng didn't speak, just stood, but let the deer hold the bronze horn and shouted at them: "What do you want to say, take the horse in exchange!" ”
Those people didn't seem to expect Long Qiupeng to make such a request, so they all froze, and then began to laugh, what is this horse? Their weapons and means of transport are their trump cards and magic weapons for their surprising victory.
However, Long Qiupeng ignored their ridicule and continued: "Fight on horseback, each horse chooses its own, the number of rounds is up to you, if I lose, let you go." If you lose, either stay and be my people, or keep half of the horses, and I'll give you enough food and grass to survive the winter. In the future, if you feel that you want to, you can trade with us again, and if you don't want to, I will not force it. ”
There are some things that Long Qiupeng is completely sure of, and he will naturally give the other party more choices, but in this matter, obviously he is not completely sure, so he can only take the lead.
As soon as he finished speaking, a line of archers appeared on the city wall, and they drew their bows and pointed them at the men. This was an arrogant deterrent, telling them that choosing the conditions proposed by Long Qiupeng was the only way out, otherwise it would be difficult for them to get out of here alive.
Feng Mo looked at this formation, he smiled, he looked at Long Qiupeng viciously, if it was in normal times, he might choose to leave, the wandering barbarians know the most about being able to bend and stretch. But the problem facing Feng Mo now is that advancing is also death, and retreating is also death, so it is better to give it a go, at least worthy of the pride of his wolf god descendants.
But what a cunning animal a wolf is, in fact, what you say is what? Although Feng Mo had no reason to refuse, he still had room for bargaining, he didn't agree or object, it seemed that he was thinking about what kind of mystery was hidden in Long Qiupeng's words.
This time is also a long and torturous time for Long Qiupeng, he has only practiced such a skill in the past few days, or he uses a specific horse, and now if Feng Mo proposes any other horse project, he will definitely lose. He couldn't let Feng Mo think about it like this.
He glanced at Yi and didn't speak. But Yi understood what he meant almost instantly. Yi immediately opened his bow and shot out. Yi's arrows became more and more stable, and he ran towards the wind desert in the cold wind.
The arrow was extremely fast, and although Feng Mo noticed it, he immediately lowered his head, but the arrow still stuck in his hat and flew out together, and finally landed in the snow behind him.
In an instant, Feng Mo was stunned, although his whole body was shocked, but his hands still grabbed the reins and mane of the horse. The other clansmen were startled by the speed and strength of this arrow, and they all smiled and retracted their voices.
Feng Mo finally got off his horse, and the arrow successfully interrupted his thoughts, but it clearly angered him as well.
He learned to howl like a wolf, and he raised his head to the sky and howled, and his people learned with it, and even their horses, whether they were encouraged or frightened, neighed along.
Feng Mo's eyes were overflowing with anger, and he looked at Long Qiupeng, as if he could devour Long Qiupeng with flames. He shouted at Long Qiupeng, "Okay! It doesn't have to be so complicated, one game determines the winner or loser! And I'm better than horseback riding! Look for death! ”
Long Qiupeng sighed, although Feng Mo's anger would make his attack even more intense, but fortunately, the plan still developed according to his own expectations. For the rest, it's half up to you and half to luck.
Long Qiupeng went down the city wall, and the equipped pony was already waiting for him at the door of the car, the first time he actually fought in battle, in fact, Long Qiupeng didn't know what situation he would encounter. But in order to be able to get these precious temporary resources, he also fought hard.
"Leader...... Long Qiupeng didn't pay attention when he came, I don't know when, Xi also came, she stood there, took something, and stopped Long Qiupeng.
Long Qiupeng felt that the thing looked familiar at the beginning, took a closer look, and exclaimed in his heart: ****! Isn't this leather armor?
It was the first time he had witnessed a natural innovation in technology since returning to primitive society, and the leather armor was made of pieces of leather sewn from animal tendons, although the leather armor was obviously only the size of a shoulder, and the only parts it protected were the chest, abdomen, piggyback, and back. But it's already a very powerful invention. He didn't even hesitate, and began to say thank you while putting on his leather armor.
This leather armor was a little small, so Long Qiupeng could only take off the animal skin coat outside and wear it inside, which naturally delayed some time, and the barbarians who provoked him screamed outside the door, and there was a burst of ridicule, as if he felt that Long Qiupeng was afraid and retreated.
However, compared to these people, Long Qiupeng is naturally much more mentally mature, and he will not be provoked by the other party's childish behavior, and he still wears the leather armor carefully unhurriedly.
The clansmen on the side came over with wolf teeth, he glanced at Long Qiupeng, and said disdainfully: "Coward!" ”
Long Qiupeng glanced at him, smiled and said, "This is called saving life, isn't it Feng Mo?" Because I knew you were in danger, I abandoned you, and I would never do such a thing to my people. ”
The words suddenly stepped on the wound of the wolf's fang, and he lowered his head and remained silent.
Seeing that he was no longer talking, Long Qiupeng nodded and motioned for the clansmen to send him out of the door first, so that he could return to his own clansmen. This is what he planned in advance, a person like Wolf Fang, if he wants to keep him, he needs to have a sense of belonging to himself, and if he wants to have a sense of belonging, he has to be stripped from his original tribe.
Being given up by the clansmen, although it is reasonable to think rationally, but emotionally speaking, it is still unacceptable, this is the simplest and most direct way to let the wolf fang stay by his side.
But now, it is clear that this also adds the benefit of delaying time. Sure enough, the wolf's fangs went out on the front foot, and the outside of the back foot was quiet.
Long Qiupeng put on his leather armor and put on his coat neatly, and then rode his low horse and walked slowly towards the city gate, although it was not to hide it, but in order not to attract attention, Long Qiupeng still covered his stirrups with ornaments.
As he expected, as soon as he went out, all the people on the other side were stunned, and then burst into laughter, and Feng Mo swept away the embarrassment between him and the wolf fang, pointing to Long Qiupeng's pony and saying, "Just this horse?" ”
Long Qiupeng didn't say anything, just laughed. He held the shield in one hand and the halberd in the other, and for the time being, he held the reins of the horse so that the other party could not see the flaws.
"Sure enough, this local bantam is for you!" Feng Mo's words were full of ridicule, it seems that this bantam horse was found after they came here, judging from the formation of the other party, this kind of horse should not participate in the battle on weekdays, but carry camels in the rear.
But it doesn't matter, like this heads-up, unlike real cavalry combat, speed and altitude are not absolute advantages. Consistency is the key to success.
Long Qiupeng looked at each other, everyone leaned forward and closed with a contemptuous smile on their faces, it seemed that Long Qiupeng had told a big joke just now, only Wolf Fang shook his head with a serious face, during the time he was locked up in the Long tribe, he was too familiar with the meaning of Long Qiupeng's smile.
The two looked at each other, the smile on Long Qiupeng's face became even brighter, he looked at the wolf fang, but said to Feng Mo, "Can we start?" ”
Feng Mo stopped and laughed, and said to Long Qiupeng: "Don't say that I bully people, you attack and I can defend!" After saying this, a burst of laughter broke out behind him.
But to everyone's surprise, Long Qiupeng said with a smile: "You seem to have mistaken your position, who spared whose life?" ”
Feng Mo, who was still very proud in the last second, entered a state of anger again in the next second, he grabbed the horse's belly with his feet, and rushed towards Long Qiupeng with a spear. Long Qiupeng also urged his bantam and rushed towards the other party.
Long Qiupeng's horse was one section shorter than Feng Mo's horse, and Feng Mo rushed down with the tip of his spear, and rushed towards Long Qiupeng in a daze, from the point of view, if he rushed over, it would almost be a straight stab in the chest.
Feng Mo saw that Long Qiupeng didn't have any intention of changing the route, and saw that he had also held the halberd well until now, and there was an expression of victory on his face. At that time, there was no stirrup, and it was difficult for the rider to make any movements on the horse, so they all relied on charging with their weapons, so usually, if two people were hedging and showing such a state, basically Long Qiupeng was already bound to lose.
The distance between the two of them is getting closer and closer, and the people of the Dragon Clan can see that the momentum is not right if they don't understand cavalry fighting, not to mention that the barbarians who are good at this way have already begun to cheer for their leader's victory.
At this moment, Feng Mo and Long Qiupeng's eyes met, and Feng Mo unexpectedly found that Long Qiupeng still had a subtle smile on his face, although he was full of confidence, but a layer of cold sweat still oozed from his back.
He felt that he had no bottom in his heart, and he didn't wait for the spear to approach Long Qiupeng's body first, so he gently turned sideways, wanting to rely on the strength of his body to send out one more piece, and then fight quickly.
That's when something unexpected happened.
