Chapter 055: The Triumph of Lime Powder
Under the guidance of the caravan escort cavalry, Su Hao and the others entered the depths of the woods, and saw a group of people fighting together, only to hear the cavalry say: "The one wearing blue clothes in front is our people, and the one wearing other variegated clothes is Haikou!" β
Su Hao glanced at it slightly, and sure enough, as the cavalry said before, the number of pirates was indeed less than 40 people, only 30 people, and on the caravan side, there were only 20 people. It seems that from the time the cavalry broke out of the encirclement to Su Hao arrived at the battlefield, both sides had casualties, but obviously, Haikou had the upper hand. Because there are nearly 10 variegated horses hovering near the battlefield, and they are all saddled, it is obvious that the cavalry occupies a certain proportion of the caravan's escort force, and in such a terrain, the cavalry cannot be deployed, and the dismounting is even more into the combat field that they are not good at.
At this time, Ken asked, "Chief Su, are we going to attack?" β
"Of course, the opportunity to let the recruits see blood is right in front of you, how can you not cherish it?"
Su Hao pulled out the long sword decorated with rose patterns and inlaid silver Germans, the tip of the sword pointed directly at the noisy and bloody battlefield, and whispered: "Gentlemen, draw your sword, raise your shield, and charge!" β
Everyone is eager to try, like Nord sea wolves who have sharpened their minions and just want to fight! Su Hao had just said the order to charge, only to hear the sound of the sword unsheathed at the same time, a piece of steel thorns composed of swords and axes appeared in front of him, under the pale moonlight in the night sky, the blade reflected the cold light, and then with the noisy footsteps, the steel thorns began to move forward!
At this time, the caravan and the pirate were entangled together, and the caravan soldiers and the pirate continued to fall, in general, the pirate had the upper hand, but the caravan side relied on a tenacious ruthlessness to stand still, and the pirate was never able to annihilate them all. At this time, the addition of a new force, although there are only 14 people, is enough to change the situation on this battlefield.
Su Hao led the troops to suddenly insert from the rear of the Haikou, and the other party was caught off guard, so he could only temporarily divide his manpower to rush into battle, so that the temporary division of troops is undoubtedly equivalent to loosening the clenched fist into five fingers, and holding the sword in both hands becomes a sword in each hand, although it can cope with the two-line battle, but the combat effectiveness of each line will be weakened by half, and the pressure will increase exponentially!
Then, you can see that on the dense forest battlefield shrouded in bright stars and silver-white moonlight, the Haikou and Su Hao's troops raised their cold swords and axes in the first collision, and slashed down fiercely, and then accompanied by a terrible cry, blood splashed everywhere, and soaked in the land of Nord that seemed to be covered with clear frost!
And the one who fell to the ground was actually Haikou!
It's not just a two-front battle that binds you, but it's more important to have the effect of a surprise attack, as if you're facing an opponent who has to go all out to overcome, and you're in the middle of a struggle with him, and suddenly the assassin stands behind you and gives you a knife, and you can't make an effective counterattack at all! The same goes for the pirates. The result of the hasty response was the first confrontation between Haikou and Su Hao's troops, and they were hit hard! One by one, the limbs fell, and the heads rolled in the dense forest!
Next, there is a complete melee, a fight on the sword!
There are no orders, no commands, no commanders, and no generals, just the most brutal primitive fighting, using all your strength to kill the enemy in front of you, and fighting for the slightest chance to survive the enemy's knife in the case of life and death!
At this time, Su Hao shouted: "Do it!" β
His voice was so loud that everyone in the battlefield could hear it, but how? How to kill someone? Except for Su Hao and 14 other Nord fighters, no one will know.
Thus, the white fog appeared.
For this group of Nord recruits who are still full of warrior spirit in their hearts and still uphold the noble belief inherited by the so-called Odin God of War, the dirty method of sprinkling lime is too dirty, and they disdain to use it, but the authority established by Su Hao in the Loire War still effectively promoted the promotion of this method in the army, and everyone asked to bring a small bag of lime powder, and once Su Hao shouted the code of "do it", everyone must firmly, immediately, and immediately implement this tactic...
Sprinkle lime powder!
Battlefield collision, sprinkle lime powder! Head to head, sprinkle lime powder! The two armies are scuffling, sprinkling lime powder! Fight friend and foe, sprinkle lime powder!
However, after this battle, the insidious trick of sprinkling lime powder also spread throughout Nord within a week, and throughout Calradia within a month, no matter who it is, they know how to sprinkle lime powder and guard against being blinded by lime powder.
It is worth mentioning that this lime powder also got a nickname in the future, and was affectionately called "Su Su Powder" by the beautiful women who were harassed by men (harmony) in Calradia, in order to commemorate Su Hao's excavation of another wonderful use of lime powder.
Dwight had already killed the red eye, especially since the other party had turned into a blind wolf dog who only knew how to rub his eyes and swing his sword indiscriminately, so without saying a word, he held up the huge, sharp and incomparably heavy long-handled crescent tomahawk, and used the slashing tactics that Ken taught him not long ago, and cut off his head!
Seeing that the number of pirates who could stand on the dense forest was decreasing, while the number of corpses on the ground was gradually increasing, and the morale of the caravan was also greatly boosted, I saw a more gorgeously dressed Nord man holding up the talisman sword in his hand and shouting: "Brothers, our Nord compatriots have come to the rescue of us, kill, kill all these bandits!" We defend to the death the property and goods that belong to us, and... The future of our businessmen! β
Everyone has invested in this caravan, especially the leader of the caravan who has just raised his sword and shouted, he has already invested all his family property in this business running activity, from the nest car to buy a large amount of salt, and transported thousands of miles to the Riwa car in exchange for local special silk, such a long journey of business activities not only requires a large injection of money, but also will face the wolves and rebels on the north coast of Calradia!
I have to say that his luck is very good, on the first day of leaving Ε½ivacheze, Virgian will not declare war on Nord, otherwise if he is a day late, I am afraid that the lord of Mariga of Ε½ivakΕze will imprison this unfortunate caravan in a damp damp dungeon, not only with no return, but also with a foreign debt enough to make him commit suicide, but also wear heavy shackles and lose his freedom, including the freedom to commit suicide! That's really a way to live, not to die.
He was apprehensive all the way, cautiously heading westward, fearfully avoiding countless groups of pirates and Virgian troops, and it could be said that there were many difficulties and dangers along the way. Now that he has entered the border of the Nord Kingdom, he is only a few days away from returning to the beautiful port city of Wocheze, how can he lose his achievements because of this group of pirates?
Soon, with a thick spear piercing the neck of a pirate, there was no longer a living enemy on the battlefield.
Everyone's armor was stained red with blood, sweat, scarred, and some were even disabled! At this time, both sides withdrew their swords, leaving only some soldiers with more physical strength remaining and their combat effectiveness well preserved for vigilance and patrol. At this time, Su Hao walked up and greeted the caravan leader: "Hello, warrior, I am Su from McCann!" β
"Sue?" The leader of the caravan was stunned for a moment, as if he had remembered something, and then said, "Could it be the Sue who helped the village of Loire to take revenge?" β
"Huh?" Su Hao didn't expect his fame to spread so quickly, and it actually reached the ears of the caravan leader, so he had to nod and say, "I am the Su in your mouth." β
The caravan leader's expression suddenly became solemn, and he clenched his fists and crossed his arms in front of his chest, which was the standard etiquette of Nord. He exclaimed, "Praise be to His Majesty Ragnar, you are a true warrior!" β
Su Hao imitated his movements and replied, "You too, my friend!" β
The leader of the caravan lowered his hands and introduced himself: "I'm Dis from Wocheze, thank you for your help, do you need any help?" β
Su Hao smiled, didn't say yes, but didn't deny it, just said: "Maybe we should take care of our wounded first, clean up the battlefield, and then set up camp, and finally discuss such a thing, what do you think, Mr. Dis?" β
Diese was stunned for a moment, but also laughed, and said, "You're right, Sue! β
β¦β¦
Soon, the number of casualties was counted, 1 was killed, 2 were seriously wounded, and 3 were lightly wounded, and the casualties were not small.
Casualties were inevitable, and Su Hao could only order him to be buried thickly.
On the other side, after the caravan cleaned up the battlefield, all the weapons and equipment were put together, and some money bags were also found, totaling 147 gold dinars, which was really not much.
Su Hao looked at it and shook his head, these equipment are all conventional military equipment, but there are a lot of armor weapons in them that have not been well preserved, and the others can only be treated as rags.
He turned to his head and asked, "Mr. Diese, do you need any of these weapons?" β
Diese shook his head and said, "I still have a lot of equipment to spare." β
"And I took them all?"
"Yes, these are your trophies."
Then an infantryman approached with three middle-aged men with blond hair and white skin who had been unarmed and wearing only boots and short clothes.
Su Hao glanced at them and couldn't help asking, "Who are these two?" β
Dis replied, "The captives brought by the pirates with the army should be Svadians, judging by their skin color and physiognomy, and besides, you can see their palms. β
Su Hao then walked over and unfolded their palms, not only palms, but also thick calluses on their fingertips.
"Archers?"
Diess nodded and said, "That's right, they are war-hardened archers, and with such a thick cocoon, there will be no bowstring that has not been drawn for a few years." You see their muscles, they are very strong, they should all be veterans, and they pull hard bows! β
Su Hao's expression suddenly became solemn, the archer is still a veteran, this is equivalent to the technical arms in the army, and it should be the most valuable and well-protected!
Su Hao looked at Dis, and Dis smiled and said, "Give it to you!" β
