Chapter 141: Change

After the Sun Mercenary Regiment and the Rhodope Mercenary Regiment each went in opposite directions, Qin Dong asked his subordinates to immediately ride to the cargo department to control the carriage and mule horses, Qin Dong immediately asked people to count the goods, and found that the goods were missing more than a dozen barrels of beer, and all the others were here.

At this time, a few heads were exposed from behind a small dirt bag not far away, one of them was Pedro, Pedro and his cavalry captain and two guards had just arrived, only to see the second half of Qin Dong's final fight with Herram, but from the results of the fight and the mercenary group left the goods and carriages, it can be guessed that the robbers who attacked them just now were robbed by Qin Dong, and the result of the fight between the two sides was that the robbers who robbed them just now lost, so they left the goods and carriages.

Because the people of the mercenary group are basically masked, Pedro doesn't know their identities, but he deeply remembers Qin Dong's face, which is an oriental face completely different from the face of the Europa, he doesn't know Qin Dong's identity, and he can't start if he wants to ask, at this moment, Qin Dong suddenly turned his head to look at the little dirt bag, and the heads of Pedro and the cavalry captain appeared in his sight.

"Who?" Qin Dong shouted, his body leaned back, holding a three-pointed two-edged knife in his right hand, his whole body was in the shape of a reverse bow, and suddenly rebounded and straightened and projected the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand at the small dirt bag, the three-pointed two-edged knife was like a long sky through the sun, and the speed was extremely fast and nailed the cavalry captain beside Pedro to the ground, and the cavalry captain slowly looked up at the three-pointed and two-edged knife shaft on his chest, and his head was crooked.

Pedro watched the cavalry captain die so miserably, and he was so frightened that he was scared on the spot. Even the rolling belt crawled to the back, and the two guards were also frightened, and immediately ran backwards.

After hearing Qin Dong's roar. Seeing Qin Dong projecting the weapon in his hand, the centurion Barhan also discovered the enemy, and immediately ordered the three ten-division commanders to chase after him with his knights.

The two small soldiers running behind were shot by the pursuing Hun cavalry one after another, I have to say that Pedro's life was really hard, several arrows in a row did not hit him, at the last moment he got into the bushes, and the pursuing Hun cavalry had to make a detour in pursuit. Hopefully stop Pedro on the opposite side of the bushes.

The detour was much farther away, and the area was not suitable for cavalry galloping, and there were swamps and ponds everywhere. Pedro came out of the bushes, and the pursuing Hun cavalry had not yet arrived.

All of Pedro's cavalry, sixty men, were on the opposite side of the bushes, and he came out of the bushes with great wolfishness and could not wait to shout: "Withdraw, withdraw." The robbers caught up. Evacuate! ”

Hearing Pedro's shout, his cavalry mounted one after another, and two men dismounted and helped him up, and Pedro could not control anyone else, so he immediately hit his horse and galloped forward, lest he run away and be overtaken by the robbers.

Pedro proved right, and after they had run two hundred meters, the Hun cavalry caught up. And found their backs, and the three Hun ten-captains immediately led the cavalry in pursuit.

The Hun cavalry used their superior horsemanship to chase after Pedro and his cavalry. When it comes to horsemanship, in the whole of Europa, which people can compare with the Huns? In less than a quarter of an hour, the distance between the two sides was reduced by more than a hundred meters, and the Hun cavalry began to shoot arrows with bows, and the Roman cavalry running behind were shot off their horses one by one.

Seeing that there were less than forty cavalry left under his more than sixty cavalry, Pedro had already been scared half to death in his heart, and he had no courage to resist at all, he was originally just a businessman, not a general who led the troops to fight, after several consecutive lives and deaths, he had already been frightened, where did he still have the courage to command his cavalry to counterattack?

With a whoosh, an arrow struck Pedro in the right arm, "Ahh

The Roman cavalry who had been galloping wildly were so flustered that no one noticed that Pedro was gone, and when someone found out, they didn't know how long it had been, but these Roman cavalry knew the consequences of losing their general, so they collectively stopped their horses, and then turned their horses and charged towards the Hun cavalry.

"Kill—"

They were answered by the arrows and scimitars fired by the Hun cavalry, and it was impossible to stop and turn the horse's head without superb horsemanship, and the Hun cavalry could rush through a distance of a hundred meters in a few seconds at high speed.

These Hun cavalry swept like a whirlwind, and the Roman cavalry who had not had time to turn their horses' heads and turn around were immediately wiped out, after a charge, there were only a few Roman cavalry still on horseback, and each of them was wounded, the Hun cavalry killed a pair along this road and immediately stopped their horses, ready to rush towards the few remaining Roman cavalry again, and those Roman cavalry knew that waiting for the robbers on the opposite side to rush over must be waiting for death, So they rolled off their horses and got into the bushes next to them, and disappeared without a trace.

Barhan commanded the Hun cavalry to search around this bush, but did not find the few escaped Roman cavalry, and had to lead his Hun cavalry to return along the same road, and also collected the horses that had been shot by the Roman cavalry along the way. There were more than 50 horses in total, and they were brought back together.

Balhan's side won a big victory, but Qin Dong's side encountered unexpected trouble, originally after Balhan led a team of three ten-people to chase Pedro and his cavalry, Qin Dong commanded his soldiers who were originally dressed as horsemen to drive the carriage and prepare to go on the road, with the remaining archers as escorts, but before they could get on the road, Qin Dong found a strange thing, the Sun Mercenary Regiment and the Rhodope Mercenary Regiment that had left just now actually retreated, this situation surprised Qin Dong, What was the reason why the two teams of mercenary groups that were going in different directions actually retreated?

As the men and horses of the two mercenary groups all retreated to the fork in the road, when there was no way to retreat, except for the direction where Pedro and the others fled just now, a large number of wild people appeared in several other directions. The number is so large that you can't call them savages, these people are just more primitive.

These people basically only block a fig leaf in key parts of the body. The rest of the body is naked. Exposed, the face is spit red, green, blue, white, black and other pigments, these pigments are painted on the face in lines, looking extremely strange and terrifying, some people also have bird feathers on the top of their heads, and the color of the bird feathers is not the same.

If these people are just here to play, it's nothing, the point is that they all have weapons in their hands. Some carried improvised bows and arrows, some spears sharpened from animal bones, and bronze daggers. There were also people with iron swords, spears, and in short, there were countless weapons.

When Qin Dong saw these people clearly, he chuckled in his heart. He knew he was in big trouble. He didn't know which tribe it was, but he roughly estimated that the total number of people would probably be more than 2,000 people, otherwise it would be impossible to surround this place and block all the people of the two mercenary groups.

Qin Dong couldn't help but scold his mother in his heart, it was really a wave of unsettled waves, these people from the primitive tribe would not tell you any reason and righteousness at all, and it was very difficult to deal with them.

The only way for Qin Dong and the others to get out was the road leading to the direction of Constantinople, and the other directions were ponds and swamps. He and his men were cavalry, except for running in the direction of Constantinople. There was no other way to run, but the swamps and the ponds were filled with primitive tribesmen, who rowed small rafts, and on each raft were two or three tribal warriors with improvised bows and arrows aimed at them.

Qin Dong originally wanted to order his subordinates to abandon the goods and wagons and flee in the direction of Constantinople, but before he could give the order, the road behind him was blocked by the warriors of the tribe, and they didn't know where to cut a lot of thorns and piled them on the road, blocking the entire road, and the horses could not pass through Guò at all.

This is really trouble, Qin Dong sighed and ordered his subordinates to stay where they are and not move, the bow and arrows are on guard, he carried a three-pointed two-edged knife and rode his horse to the fork in the road and met the leaders of the two mercenary groups.

"You two, who are these people, why are you surrounding us?" Qin Dong asked after walking over and saluting.

Ptistes and Ramon were still a little afraid of Qin Dong, they hurriedly saluted Qin Dong, and Putistes introduced: "My lord, if I'm not mistaken, these people should be nearby tribes, they are all Bolgars, there are a total of three tribes of Bolgars in this vicinity, they all live in the hills and forests, have little contact with the outside world, and have their own languages. There are so many people here this time, I think it must be the three tribes who went out together, probably for the money and equipment we have on us, and the goods."

It turned out that this was the case, Qin Dong finally figured it out, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, originally he thought that he and his Hun cavalry were yellow birds, and the Roman army led by Pedro was cicadas, and these two mercenary groups were praying mantises, but he didn't expect that the last hunters appeared, and these tribes were the last hunters.

These tribal warriors just surrounded Qin Dong and the others in the middle, and those who had bows and arrows were aimed at them with bows and arrows, and they did not attack, and no one came out to shout, Qin Dong and the others did not know what these people were going to do.

The mercenaries talked one by one, some of the mercenaries standing on the periphery put up shields to protect themselves, some held weapons to guard, Qin Dong and Putistes and Ramon also talked in a low voice, and the three of them discussed how to escape, but none of the three of them could think of a good way.

At this time, the encirclement on the west side of the fork suddenly parted a gap, and several strong tribal warriors carried something similar to a sedan chair in front of Qin Dong and others, and on the tool similar to a sedan chair sat a tribal man in his forties, without any paint on his face, with pure red bird feathers on his head, a pair of eyes blazing, and at a glance, he knew that he was much wiser than other tribal warriors, and there was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl beside him, this daughter was exposed when she was dressed, The two peaks on the chest were only wrapped in a wide cloth belt, and only linen was wrapped around the waist down, and the pink arms and lower limbs like lotus roots, as well as the cute little navel, were all exposed.

The little girl had several white bird feathers stuck on her head, looking innocent but eccentric, and she and the man in her forties beside her muttered and didn't know what to say, and the man in his forties laughed and nodded his head again and again.

Qin Dong and the others noticed this scene, they guessed that the man in his forties, sitting on a sedan chair, was probably the leader of this tribe, and it didn't take long for two people to appear in front of Qin Dong and others in the same sedan chair, these two people were fifty or sixty years old, quite old, after the arrival of these two people, the man and the little girl in their forties made a strange etiquette to the two, they talked in their own language for a while, and finally the man in his forties said something to the little girl, The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then turned to Qin Dong and the others and said in a coquettish voice: "Listen to the people on the other side, you are fighting in the land of my Bolgar people, and you have offended our gods, if you want to leave, you must hand over half of your belongings to sacrifice to the gods, otherwise, we can only kill you and take the items on your bodies to sacrifice to the gods, and eliminate the wrath of the gods!" ”

This little girl's fluent Greek language surprised Qin Dong and the others, in this era, it is not strange that the Germans and Huns can speak Greek, but it is unbelievable that a little girl from a primitive tribe can speak Greek.

The three leaders looked at each other when they heard this, and Rammond couldn't help but say: "Little girl, we didn't fight in your land, we just fought a battle on this road, you won't tell me that this road is also your Bolgars, right?" ”

How do you know that the little girl said arrogantly: "This road is ours, you can pass through here, but you can't fight, the fight will offend the gods, and now you have offended the gods, so you must hand over half of the items on your body, hurry up, everyone hand over!" ”

Now it's okay, the people of this tribe are even more straightforward, and they directly ask for half, if you compare Qin Dong with this little girl, Putistes and Lamond are willing to get along with Qin Dong, after all, Qin Dong is still a reasonable person, and the little girl on the other side has no way to talk to her at all, she has already set a price, and there is no room for bargaining.

Ptistes and Lamond suddenly had bitter faces, they would definitely not be able to fight, the terrain around here was very unfavorable to them, and those tribal warriors had rafts to ride on, and they could come and go freely in this swamp and pond, but they could not, and they would probably not be able to get up if they went down.
