Chapter 15: The smell of money, gunpowder, and myocardial infarction
The big boss has become the nutrient of the weeds on the snowfield, and the thieves have no backbone, and the second boss who followed behind to pick up a life naturally couldn't wait to take the position.
Life is full of coincidences and encounters, and the second leader of the cottage, who is now the head of the big boss, is full of philosophical greetings for the light cavalry team that intercepted them not far ahead.
But if you look closely, there aren't many people on the other side? They are all light cavalry, with no heavy equipment and no crossbow arrows, so they may be able to eat this team directly.
"Drifting Snow City sent such a few people? Do you want to ......?"
Someone asked softly, and the second master groaned for a while, thinking about the inexplicable means just now, and they were already tired from besieging Blackstone Town for a long time, so it was better to avoid it here.
"Leave them alone, go straight to the stockade!"
Herman flicked the reins and gave the order to pursue the bandits who had bypassed before they got close.
"The teacher has taught, and I will chase after the enemy retreats"
………
"They're catching up!"
The Drifting Snow City Light Rider kept moving in a serpentine form, and did not seem to be in a hurry to catch up with them, but from time to time he shot a crossbow or two bolts at the closest moment, and quickly broke away.
This reciprocating cycle is like a mosquito in summer, although it is not painful or itchy, it constantly consumes the energy of the bandits.
"It's too much of a deception! Beat! beat hard, and with just a few people, he couldn't make any waves. ”
…….
The orders that had been given did not need to be heeded, and Herman and Lal led a few men along the other routes, not like a battle but like a walk.
"The teacher also taught, the enemy chased me and fled"
……..
"They're split into two!"
"Separate chase! There are so many of us! No problem"
Although he did not observe it directly, Herman was already aware of the bandits' reactions, as if he were leading the team on the spot.
"Although the number of bandits is large, there is only one leader, is there originally two? It doesn't matter."
…….
"They're separated again!"
"Didn't you hear the two masters just say that they chased separately, it's okay, it doesn't matter how many of us are"
"They're split into two teams again"
"Chase Chase"
……….
The second leader of the bandits was stunned when he finally caught up with a team that had been scattered to a few people left, and Herman and Bell, who were obviously not easy to mess with, led a team that had been waiting there for a long time.
"You.. Where have you all been hiding so far!? ”
"Oh ~ we just arrived"
Herman said it so lightly, as if ordinary people were greeting, did you eat, eat, but this second thief who thought he had a superior IQ was like a fish in his throat.
With a strong sense of crisis, he made a startling decision, and he turned his horse and ran, leaving the little brothers who followed him dumbfounded.
"Wait!"
A group of men just turned around and ran away, and Herman didn't even bother to chase them.
"Just let them go?"
Herman spread his hands, looking indifferent, thinking that the teacher was actually quite cheap when he laughed, but he was still very handsome!
"We also have to guard against them jumping off the wall in a hurry, anyway, we are just delaying time, and the teacher's order is only to save the townspeople and complete the layout, there is no need to cause losses outside the order"
Well, there was no fight today anyway, and Bell was disappointed.
"Okay, go back to the city, go back to the city"
……..
I don't know how long it took for the bandits to regroup, and by the time they regrouped, the light cavalry of Drifting Snow City had long since gone, leaving only the bandits with heavy losses in the wind and snow.
It's useless to go to Blackstone, no one can enter without a lot of manpower to clear the rocks, let alone Drifting Snow City, and the angry bandits are not bad enough to attack a city.
The second master greeted each other's ancestors, but the mood of the ancestors was overflowing, but there was nowhere to vent, so he could only look at the footprints on the snow and snort fiercely.
"He's so bad, go! Brothers, go back to the village first! ”
The stockade of this group of mountain bandits is on the barren mountain northwest of Heishi Town, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is also restricted by the poor mountains and bad waters and cannot develop.
Ben can be said to have come out of the nest in order to take down the mountain bandits in Blackstone Town this time, thinking that capturing Blackstone Town would be enough to use the terrain and Drifting Snow City to call for the board, but he didn't expect that the beaten mother didn't know him.
……
The cottage at night was pitch black, and the bandit team stumbled one by one, I don't know if you stepped on his foot, or who poked whose ass.
"Why is it so dark, didn't you say don't save the lamp oil, hurry up"
"What does it smell like...... How can it be so familiar."
The grand fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and the exhausted second master watched his painstakingly run cottage explode into a meteor in the night sky, and the firelight reflected the only remaining door panel, with four big characters written on it.
"Surrender or Kill"
opened his mouth and spit out a wisp of black smoke, and his eyes and legs fell to the ground.
………..
"Hey, there's movement, there's a fire over there, don't you take a look?"
"The teacher said that real men never look back at explosions"
“…..”
………
From the top of the castle watching the fires flicker through the mountains in the north, Leo silently added to the list of 300 things the protagonist will do, blowing up the enemy's lair √.
Fire oil is a good thing, it can be used daily, it can be sprinkled outside when guarding the city, it can make people unable to climb, and it can burn each other to death if it is lit, it is really a must for home travel, and the organization with a little bit of family background has its own fire oil depot, and the shortcomings are finally born now, and the violent explosion can make all the fire oil in the warehouse come to a big fireworks.
Leo invited everyone to watch the fireworks show objectively, deterring those restless people, and at the same time, he also reassured the merchants of the Northlands that Drifting Snow City had such a powerful means of force, it was undoubtedly a great guarantee for these traveling merchants.
"Okay, if you have a need next, you can attend the dinner, and you can taste the flavor of soybean products."
"Soybeans....products?"
Merchants have a lot of discussions, what soybeans can do, nothing more than cooked with salt and seasonings, or fried crispy as a snack, the taste is extremely poor, not to mention, in the non-famine period, even serfs do not take soybeans as the first choice of food, because they eat too much and fart.
Geto was the first to smell the money, there were soybeans in the long-term purchase list given by the lord just now, would this lord make a loss-making deal? No, there must be a way for him to make money.
………..
A few days ago, when he took stock of the inventory, Gille was complaining that the soybeans were going to spoil if they were put down, but it gave Leo an inspiration that if he made some products from the original world in this world, he could achieve a monopoly.
The dinner party was a hodgepodge of tofu products, and he hired a few honest local people to start reproducing the tofu products according to the steps he remembered.
Tofu kelp soup, chili copied dried tofu, braised yuba, these unheard of dishes made the merchants amazed, only Ge Tuo ate more and more serious expression, this is really made of beans?
"My lord, with all due respect, I think the merchants of the Iron Nation will be very interested in this new food, if you can..."
Leo waited for this and patted Geto on the shoulder.
"Why not?"
