Chapter 517: Fighting for the Bed
A big river, stopped in front of Hig and others, on both sides of the river, the water and grass are abundant, herds of cattle and sheep on both sides of the river enjoy the gifts of the grassland, and the clothes worn by those herdsmen on both sides of the river, but there is a world of difference, so many days have seen a kind of clothing Higg is very clear, on the other side of the river, has been out of the sphere of influence of the Gonaya tribe.
Generally, the sphere of influence of the tribes on the grassland is not so strict, but it is different if there is a river, this is the most obvious dividing line, there will be disputes in other places, and the rivers and mountains will definitely not be boundary.
It is said that it is a big river, but in fact it is a little wider, fifty or sixty meters wide, the water is very shallow, most of it is only below the horse's knees, the bottom of the river is pebbles, and the most urgent main river channel is only just able to soak the horse's half body, and it is not difficult to cross the river to the position of the saddle.
What is the power of the tribe family on the other side, Hig doesn't want to know, he knows that as long as he crosses the other side of the river, the situation will become complicated, if the herdsmen cross the border by mistake to graze, there will only be some quarrels, as long as the party at fault returns to their own territory, they generally don't care too much, and the compensation method also has its own set of procedures. But if the army crosses the river, especially such a nomadic cavalry of twenty or thirty thousand people, it will definitely be a signal for war.
Whether the Gonaya tribe is willing to provoke a tribal war for his own hundred people, Higg doesn't know, he hopes that the Gonaya tribe has not had time to negotiate with the opposite tribe and let the opposite force allow their cavalry to enter their territory, but Hig knows that as long as he creates some chaos and trouble for the opposite tribe after entering, it will definitely complicate things, and it is very likely to set up a new enemy for himself and the Gonaya tribe. However, Higg has a lot of debts, anyway, his situation is already like this, and multiple enemies will have multiple enemies, and the situation will be complicated.
After successfully crossing the river, Higg ordered the Paladins to start driving the herdsmen on the opposite bank, and dispersed all the cattle and sheep they had, while he stood on the north bank of the river to see what the Gonaya nomadic cavalry was trying to do.
The Gonaya cavalry, who originally planned to cross the river, was greatly annoyed when he saw the actions of the Holy Knights driving the herdsmen on the other side, he knew that Higg was going to make a big deal about it, if he crossed the river by himself, he would have no way to take the Holy Knights for a while, and the tribal forces on the opposite side may react quickly, because the interests of his own tribe have been damaged, and the entire steppe will be mobilized to drive out the aliens, and it may lead to a large-scale war, and Gonaya's own tribe is already fighting against the tribal alliance of Zartai, If you provoke a powerful new enemy now, the gains outweigh the losses. But if you don't cross the river, you will watch the Holy Knights slip away under your nose, and the loss of the base camp, the efforts made in the past few days, will be in vain, and there will be no return.
As if looking at the smug people on the other side, the people of the Gonaya tribe were extremely angry and irritated, and suddenly they began to cross the river in a feverish manner, completely disregarding the consequences......
This surprised Higg, and secretly regretted it, what did he do to provoke these simple-minded, impulsive guys? Enraged, a stream of ice water was thrown into the river, and the river immediately froze, along with dozens of nomadic cavalry frozen in the river, and the war horses struggled to pull out their legs, but there was nothing they could do but neigh. Then the horses that entered the river slipped on the ice one after another, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.
The nomadic cavalry on the opposite side was surprised, it was the height of summer, the temperature of the river was not low, what kind of magician could completely freeze the river in an instant, this army had a lot of origins, it was too terrifying.
But Higg didn't expect to make the other party retreat, he just wanted to vent some of his helplessness, on the contrary, the other party would only be more angry because of it.
Sure enough, the nomadic cavalry, who were completely enraged, immediately moved towards both sides of the river, avoiding the frozen section of the river in Higg, and quickly crossed the river from the river to outflank the Holy Knights of the Higg, and Hig had to move north again with the Holy Knights.
Higg knew that if he didn't give these people and horses a rest tonight, he might not be able to survive.
As night fell, Higg found a meadow with relatively abundant water and grass, ordered the army to stand by in a circle, and began to mirror the paladins one by one. Mirror magic Higg's ability is indeed much worse than Daniel's, Daniel's attainments in the water system are even above Delongso, thanks to his identity as the son of a witch saint, he is born with an advantage in comprehension of water magic, while Higg and Delongso are four systems of magic go hand in hand, this is the difference between the magic mages and the big magicians, not that the magic of the magic mage is necessarily better than the big magician, but just more comprehensive, there is no magic weakness, Daniel's example is an obvious one. If Daniel is asked to mirror copy these paladins, it is no problem to copy ten at a time, and the effect is much better than Higg, and the maintenance time is much longer, although Hig can also copy three or five at a time, but it will be very difficult, it is better to copy one by one to save mana, he must control the use of his mana, try to be economical, although the angel necklace can allow him to slowly recover his mana, but it is too slow.
Rao is like this, after copying a hundred paladins, Higg is also exhausted, and his mana value is empty, he surrounds these mirror images to replace the real Paladin Warriors in a circle, puts the Paladin Warriors in the circle, and says to the Paladins warriors: "All soldiers don't remove their armor, sleep in place!" ”
"Don't you leave a sentry on duty at night?" The ten-captain who carried the flag was already amazed at Higg copying the paladins one by one, and was even more shocked to hear that Hig had put everyone to sleep.
"I'm on duty tonight!" Higg said, "Don't worry, even if the enemy sneaks up, I can resist you so that you are ready to fight, get a good night's sleep, after this night's sleep, I don't know when you will be able to sleep again!" ”
A hundred paladins mirror the circle of the siege, and the horses are grazing in the circle, and the people are sleeping in the circle, but the whole circle moves with the movement of the horses grazing, but the people can't move, and Higg can only use magic to disguise and completely cover these cavalry with a blindfold, so that the enemy can't see the mystery. After a while, Higg heard thunderous snoring around him.
As usual, more than 20,000 enemies had only surrounded the Paladins in a circle, and they were only a cavalry charge away from the Paladins, and now the Paladins were in full array, and they did not attack in vain, as if they were to wait until the Paladins were completely dragged down.
But tonight's situation makes people feel suspicious, because in normal times, these paladins will definitely try to dismount and eat, let the horses eat a few mouthfuls of fresh grass, and wait until they have a move, they will reload their horses again, but the strange thing is that all the cavalry should be more tired tonight, why are they always so neatly gathered in a circle, not eating, drinking, or sleeping? People can be like this, but hungry and irritable war horses won't be so quiet!
The thousand-man team, which was originally prepared to wait for the Holy Knights to make a move, has never been able to find a chance to pass! After a few hours of stalemate, the other party finally couldn't help but want to come forward to find out.
While controlling these mirror images to move with the movement of the horses grazing, Higg also kept a close eye on the enemy's every move, more than 20,000 people, most of them were resting and sleeping, and the other half were also paying close attention to the movements of Higg and the others.
The enemy has finally decided to send a thousand troops to harass them, and no matter what the Paladins are doing, they cannot be allowed to be so peaceful.
With the neighing of the war horses, the thousand-man team took advantage of the night, just raised the speed of the horse, three Tianyu arrows roared away, the three nomadic cavalry in front of the ground with a bang, even the people and horses almost turned into powder, the remaining strength of the Tianyu arrow continued to insert into the chest of the cavalry behind, and the horse also turned on his back, and the six horsemen were instantly reimbursed! Before the other party could react, the other three Tianyu arrows had already hit the three people who were still running at the front, and the same didn't even have time to scream, and the six people rode again, and it was not over yet, and the third wave of three Tianyu arrows, according to the gourd, reimbursed the six people for riding...... The enemy was stunned, and in an instant, eighteen people were gone, and it was a cavalry that had just been activated, and it was impossible to see when the other party would shoot, and at a distance of nearly a thousand meters, it was able to kill two birds with one stone, and no one would be willing to go to the front.
The enemy halted their advance, stunned and did not dare to move, no one wanted to make a bird, the fourth wave of arrows did not arrive as promised, and the opponent seemed to be only warning them not to act rashly, otherwise there were many ways to kill them.
In fact, Higg didn't have the tenth arrow, and after the three waves of arrows were sent, the Sky Feather Arrow Box was already empty, and if he wanted to shoot again, he had to wait until the Sky Feather Arrow returned to the arrow box, and it would take a few minutes at the earliest.
Higg's Phantom Bow shot out, causing a commotion on the other side, arguing over whether to come and test again, or continue to surround and fight, and wait until the enemy collapses on its own!
No one is not afraid of death, no one wants to be at the front of the line, and being at the front means death.
After a long stalemate, the enemy seemed to be unable to hold back any longer, and finally formed a formation again, and then divided into many columns, and roared side by side.
Higg, who had already returned from the Tianyu Arrow, shot again, and the two arrows shot at the two enemies in the middle at the front, and the other was the leader of the team, "Boom, Boom, Boom-" Three loud sounds, the body of the Thousand Commander was not much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, and the Heavenly Feather Arrow did not know what the difference between the Thousand Commander and the ordinary soldier was, and they all treated them equally, so that they all went to the underground to report fairly. Without hesitation, Higg shot three more times, and all nine Heavenly Feather Arrows were fired, and if the enemy continued to advance, he could only wake up all the Paladin Warriors.
The reimbursement of the eighteen horses, including the commander of the thousand, finally made the enemy feel terrified, and regardless of the urging of the general behind, he ran directly backwards, as if out of the range of the opponent's bow and arrow.
Higg is indeed just a warning, otherwise, the one who shoots may be the other party's general-level figure, if the enemy does not listen to the warning again, Higg will have to do it next time.
This time, the shock of the enemy was even more severe, and the opponent seemed to tell them that they were in a position that was within the range of the opponent's three marksmen, and that they could kill anyone within this range at any time. The panicked enemy actually retreated the encirclement by a stone's throw back, and when the people of the Holy Knights did not dismount and rest, they decided not to act rashly again!
A skirmish over a bed ended in a narrow victory for the Paladins, but the enemy didn't think so!
