Chapter 540: The Secret Warehouse

Since the pursuers sent by the Beran army were cavalry, their targets were larger than the infantry, and they raised more dust, and Luo Ming quickly captured their position, and then began to estimate their distance and speed.

They were probably confused for a while by Luo Ming's move of leading his troops off the ship before they found the right direction to chase after them.

As a result, the distance between the two armies is now about six kilometers, and if you count the detour in the middle, it is almost twelve kilometers away.

Some roads cannot be walked by cavalry, only infantry can walk, some of these landforms are naturally formed, and some are deliberately destroyed by Luo Ming with gunpowder before, which will not be elaborated one by one.

And it can also be seen that the Beran cavalry has gradually shown fatigue and slowed down.

Luo Ming's infantry itself marched very quickly, and at this moment it was a light march, and they had also eaten a meal with demonic beast meat on the previous ship to fully replenish their strength, and under the advantage of the other, it would take at least two and a half hours for the Belan cavalry to catch up, maybe three hours.

"Two or three hours?" Luo Ming looked at the sky and sneered, "Then march for another hour and a half, and then start detouring." ”

Of course, if the Belan cavalry did not hesitate to rush forward, it would take about two hours to catch up with the Luo Ming army, but at that time, the cavalry was completely at the end of the crossbow, and the war horses would be so tired that they couldn't run at all, maybe a dozen horses would be killed on the way, and the riders would not feel good.

If the people of Belan really dare to send such a tired army to Luo Ming, then Luo Ming will fight to completely consume this elite army in his hand, and he will also hit it hard.

Naturally, the people of Belan were not so stupid, and Luo Ming climbed up again an hour later to observe, and found that most of the Belan cavalry stopped by a small stream to trim, and a few cavalry continued to pursue, as if they wanted to try to see if they could catch up with Luo Ming's tail.

Of course, even if the few cavalry continue to have one man, two horses or even three horses, they will not be able to catch up with the Luo Ming army, and there is still a long distance between the two armies.

It was nearly dusk, and most of the Beran cavalry, or rather the leaders of the cavalry, probably did not prepare to pursue further.

Luo Ming burned nearly a thousand people to death in a fire before, and while he was happy, he also completely annoyed the people of Belan, like a group of bees that had been stabbed in their nests.

But in the midst of a day's pursuit, they gradually calmed down and began to think again.

If you can catch up with Luo Ming and kill him, it will naturally be worth it. But looking at the current posture, it seems that he can't catch up with Luo Ming, and may even have completely lost it.

So why take the risk to continue the pursuit? Maybe Luo Ming has already sent someone back to Meiquan to bring his troops, or maybe Luo Ming is in ambush in some unexpected place on the way......

After weighing the pros and cons, most of the military leaders had given up the chase and simply stopped to rest.

It is a safe move to start recuperating and recuperate as soon as possible, and wait for the infantry behind to follow, at least to avoid risks and avoid huge losses.

Although occasionally some of the military leaders were still angry and wanted to continue the pursuit of Luo Ming, most of the other military leaders were already holding back.

If they go out to chase by themselves, it will be equivalent to dividing their forces again and thinning their strength again, even if they catch up with Luo Ming, it will be difficult to take him, and maybe they will be counter-killed, and they can only hold back their anger for the time being.

Luo Ming walked with the soldiers for another half an hour, and then walked directly into the forest.

After half a kilometer of trekking through the forest, it became very dark, but we finally reached our destination.

There is a small valley in this forest, where a pair of brown bears used as a nest, and the male bears are still close to the level of the monster, and with a certain amount of wisdom, neither the nearby hunters nor pedestrians are willing to approach here.

Ordinary horses are terrified when they perceive the breath of the beast, which means that scouts on horseback will not approach, and this place is relatively remote, and it is impossible for large armies to come here, so it forms a small blind spot.

Three months ago, Luo Ming held the Heavenly Power Sword and Cang Yan as a deterrent, held a jar of honey in the other as a bribe, and demonstrated the power of gunpowder, which made the brown bear couple much more obedient.

It would be impossible to let them help in the war, but they could tolerate Luo Ming leading people to dig a secret warehouse thirty meters away from their lair and bury things, and they could tolerate a few soldiers pretending to be hunters to patrol the neighborhood and check the supplies by the way - these soldiers brought some food to feed the bears every time, and the bears were not stupid, since they could eat free food, they would not take the risk of attacking Luo Ming's men.

And it's easy to tell who Luo Ming's subordinates are, bears have a keen sense of smell and can distinguish the smell of gunpowder - who else in the world has gunpowder other than Luo Ming?

Luo Ming has actually prepared a lot of such a secret warehouse, and there may not be guardians like this pair of brown bears elsewhere, but it is also very hidden.

Luo Ming took off the storage ring given by the archmage in his hand, put it on the ground and activated it, and a one-square-meter opening appeared.

This storage ring can hold almost a cubic meter of items inside, which seems to be a lot, but in fact, even an ordinary sword has to work hard to fit in, and the items in it are definitely not something that can be done at a moment's notice, you have to reach out to dig it.

To put it bluntly, there are only two benefits: there will be no extra weight, and it will not take up space, nothing more.

Otherwise, Luo Ming would definitely stuff it with a musket loaded with ammunition, use Cangyan to ignite it directly, and then change to another one shot and shoot again—or even simply stuff a few small-caliber guns into it for continuous firing, ensuring that a great sword master can be stupid.

And such a ring, which was already very expensive, was so expensive that Archmage Gandhi had only two on hand - this one was used by him when he was younger, and then he got a better one, so that this one took a back seat and was finally given to Luo Ming.

Luo Ming took out a small jar of honey and a roasted anchovy chicken, and walked to the bear's nest first, and whistled twice.

Both brown bears were in the den, and at this moment they did not poke their heads out, smelled the air, and smelled the aroma of food and gunpowder at the same time, and came out.

Lockin threw the honey and chicken into the bear's nest and stood guard at the door of the bear's nest - although they were calm and had never been in trouble before, there was no guarantee that they would not rush out and hurt people, after all, Lockin's soldiers still smelled of blood after the battle.

The two brown bears went to eat, and they had no intention of coming out for the time being, so Luo Ming's soldiers immediately went to open the secret warehouse and move supplies out of it.
