Neither the Kirgiz nor the Kalemak people have the habit of 'grazing', their habit is grazing, and after the livestock has eaten a pasture, they rush to the next pasture, which is where the summer pasture and the winter pasture come from. Some people do not raise many livestock, and may go to the well-grown pastures in autumn to thrive for ten or twenty days in a row as winter fodder. In any case, very few people will scatter the grass, let alone sell it.

The Calmaks did not let their guard down. A ten-man leader asked, "I have walked thousands of miles on the grassland, and I have never heard that a few handfuls of pasture grass can be sold for money!" I've walked this road many times, why haven't I seen you? ”

Mayila smiled, "It's just that I heard that you walk this road every month, so we came here to sell grass!" This grass is for your horses! ”

This is a true lie, and the other party cannot believe it. The ten people laughed and said, "What will you do if we don't buy your pasture?" ”

Ajibayi said: "Then we will give you this forage for nothing!" ”

These are two fools, right? The soldiers and a dozen pregnant women thought they had misheard.

Mayila said, "That's right! However, we won't be here to sell grass in the future. If you want to get grass to feed your livestock here in the future, you will definitely give money. ”

"If you don't sell it, you won't sell it, why do you want to give it to us this time?" A soldier is strange.

"If I don't give it to you, isn't it tiring to carry this forage on my back? It's a big deal that I won't come in the future! ”

You have a point!

Seeing the look on the face of the Kalemak soldier, he knew that his words had succeeded. Ajibayi took out a large handful of fresh grass and threw it on the road: "If you want to give money, you can give each horse a copper plate." It doesn't matter if you don't want to give it, you won't see you again! ”

Ten men of the long man weighed it slightly, and more than twenty copper plates could give the thirsty and tired horses fresh pasture, which was a good deal, as if they drank two bowls of wine less. Besides, it is too irrational to lose the opportunity that you can get in the future for the sake of twenty copper plates. He didn't count, and directly dropped a handful of copper plates: "I believe you once." Do you have water? Wine is OK too! It can also be sold for money. ”

Ajibayi: "Water can save lives, and if there is more, you can give it, but you can't sell it." Alcohol is too expensive, the risk is high - some people can become wolves when they get drunk - not only do they not give money, but they rob us of our things! ”

The ten people laughed and said, "Do you have anything worth robbing others?" ”

Seeing that the horses had already eaten up the forage, Ajibayi grinned and said, "Yes! Look at it—" The two of them raised their hands together to summon their mounts, jumped on their horses, and walked away.

"Team...... Captain, this ...... These two horses are better than ...... Compare...... Better than our warhorses! A tax collector stumbled.

A whip was whipped on his head: "Nonsense! Labor and management saw ...... It's weird! Pull it out now! ”

A team of people continued on the road with full doubts, did not go far, the captain's yellow flower horse front hooves fell to the ground softly, Rao is ten people long equestrian skills, but also fell a body of white alkali soil. Knowing that something was wrong, the captain got up and hurriedly checked the other horses, his face gradually changing.

A soldier stepped forward: "Captain, it seems that it is a foot-and-mouth plague that appeared in the palace a while ago!" Those two men are here to poison our horses! ”

After repeated confirmations, the captain's face became even more ugly. If it is found that the livestock has foot-and-mouth plague, according to the rules of the grassland, it is necessary to slaughter and bury it immediately, otherwise, once the epidemic spreads, the unlucky person will be the entire grassland.

With a knife cut, the yellow flower horse was stunned on the ground.

"Kill the horse!" After the captain made this difficult decision, he sat down on the ground. The cavalry was forced to slaughter his own war horse, which may not be the most cruel thing in the world, but it will definitely make this cavalryman feel painful and unforgettable for the rest of his life!

After the distress is the fatigue. The animals that died of the disease had to be buried deeply, and that fell to the tax collectors! As for the pregnant women, the soldiers will never make them feel embarrassed for the sake of road management!

The soil of Baijiantan is only loose on the surface, and there is a pickaxe and a white spot below the feet and a half, which is very hard and extremely difficult to dig deeply. Most of the horses were buried, and the tax collectors were too tired to move the cantuman. The captain of the ten men was helpless, and ordered ten Kalemak soldiers to start digging the pit together.

This wave of digging operations not only consumed most of the physical strength of the soldiers and tax collectors, but also delayed the trip for half a day. When the men set out, they realized that the more difficult things had just begun—the whole procession, in addition to the population, had four wagons to be pulled, one with taxes, one with some belongings (mainly ten people long) that had been dumped by the whole group, and two wagons pulling food and water along the road, all of which could not be abandoned.

The journey was difficult, cursing all the way, and the soldiers said that they would break the bodies of the two brothers and sisters who sold them forage. "Ah, they're ahead!" A soldier in charge of the sentry shouted.

Everyone looked up and saw that the two 'brothers and sisters' just now were riding horses, pointing at this side not far away. Uncle can bear it, and aunt can't bear it! Without waiting for the order of the ten chiefs, ten long arrows flew out of the string, but they fell diagonally to the ground ten steps away from the brothers and sisters. The soldiers looked at each other and gave up their intention to hunt each other down. How could a cavalryman without horses succeed in pursuing an enemy on horseback?

Although the commander of the ten was as angry as the soldiers, he was still sensible: "These people have tried their best to kill our war horses, which shows that their strength is not as good as ours. We can't run, and we need to play steadily. Don't worry, everyone, the time to vent will come soon! ”

The best tactic at this time was the Mongol raid tactic, using horses and bows and arrows to attack the opponent until the opponent collapsed. Looking at the mercenaries under his command, Su Cheng could only sigh, everyone has no riding skills—I don't know if the Holy Path will open this setting to players: "Long-range professions take turns to disturb." Be careful not to let them catch up. Also, no more than ten people should show up, they must be the same people, so that the other party can underestimate our strength; It is also avoided that the other dog's dog will jump over the wall and harm those pregnant women. ”

Ten people can basically kill a lone tax collector in seconds, and as for soldiers with higher defense, two waves of concentrated fire are needed. If the mercenaries want to clear the level without damage, they also need to plan every action carefully.

The Calmaks first discarded their baggage. I want to attract the attention of the pursuers. Su Cheng, who saw this scene through Jin Jiu, smiled: "It just so happens that Lao Zhang's convoy has been renting a car, and these two carriages can be given to him." The food is left to the cottage. ”

The second thing that was abandoned was the personal entrainment of ten people, which was fully accepted by Su Cheng.

"It would be better if these fools just gave up on these pregnant women!" King Kong said with a smile.

Nuorouzi said: "Think beautifully." These pregnant women are not only their mission, but also their talisman - if the captain wasn't stupid, he must have thought of that by now! ”

With several strikes, the raiders killed five tax collectors. The last time, the team quickly retreated.

Feng Wu Jiutian: "Brother Orange, they use pregnant women as shields." What to do?"

"I saw it. Let me think. ”

This time is different from the hostage incident in Shihong Village, this time there are more than a dozen hostages. And this retreat also allowed the Kalemak soldiers to discover the real purpose of the other party: to rescue these pregnant women.

This makes the mission of the Seven Swords even more complicated.

Su Cheng was at a loss for a moment, and a person riding a donkey appeared in Jin Jiu's perspective.

"Haha, Avanti is here. Wait a minute, this person will definitely have a way! ”

Seeing a golden eagle hovering and chirping in front of him, Nasruddin understood and followed the golden eagle to the team of the Seven Swords. Instead of complaining about Baron Twilight's breach of appointment, he praised Baron Twilight for his ability to completely solve the mobility of the Calmaks: "You did better than I expected. You know, time is on our side. As long as we hold them back, we win most of them. Now the problem is the hostages. Has anything changed along the way? ”

King Kong replied: "We killed five tax collectors." Each person dropped more than a dozen gold coins, these tax collectors are really rich! ”

It's an idiot. Nasruddin ignored the King Kong Cat and only looked at the Baron.

Su Cheng said: "In order to reduce the weight and increase the speed, these people discarded two carts of food supplies. ”

Nasruddin snorted, "They always have to eat. Without baggage, what will you do? ”

Hunt! Su Cheng also thought of it: "Then let them have nothing to hunt!" ”

Scattering the scout horse, the Seven Swords centered on the team of the Calmak people, cleared out a 'vacuum' area of more than ten miles, and scared away all the hares, roe deer, turtledoves and pheasants that could be seen, and hunted them, making up their minds to make the Calmak people have nothing to hunt.

"Jin Jiu saw them hunting. There are two hares in total! ”

Nuorouzi and his entourage remembered that they almost let more than 20 people eat two hares yesterday, and they all shook their heads secretly, this taste is definitely worse than not being able to eat anything!

A stalemate overnight. The numbers on both sides have not changed, but the morale has been very different. There are many people on duty on Qijian's side, and everyone eats and drinks well and sleeps beautifully. The Calmaks listened to the stomach rumbling all night. Those pregnant women were even more dizzy from hunger, and yesterday they were taken hostage by the soldiers, and the faces of both sides had been torn, and their attitudes towards the soldiers had become very bad. They also figured it out: as hostages, the Kalmaks would never dare to kill them easily, so they kept arguing, asking the soldiers for food, water, and rest, which made the Kalmaks even more annoying.

There is no doubt that the combat effectiveness of the Kalemaks was weakened. But no matter how weak these people are, they can kill those pregnant women like crushing an ant. Baron Twilight commands Kin Nine to take to the skies and drop a rabbit in the Calmak camp. In the third case, although it added a little food to the empty stomachs of the Kalemaks, it also made the soldiers even more suspicious: who could tame the darling of the mountain gods.

Note: Foot-and-mouth plague is an artiodactyl animal disease. Horses don't suffer from this disease, so they use it.
