Chapter 116: Ambush

During the meal, Zhang Hao, Li Lingyu and others sat with the slave soldiers.

Smile softly at the slave soldiers, and the Chosen One joined them, eating the meals and drinking the hot soup in the same pot.

"Such a host...... It's really rare, and it eats the same thing as us pariahs. Many of the slave soldiers muttered to themselves.

The old slave soldier Hammer couldn't help but look up at Zhang Hao again, he felt that such a general seemed to be the commander of the Sacred Heart Legion of the Noah Kingdom when he was young, of course, the Sacred Heart Legion has now become the first legion of the Noah Kingdom, even in the entire continent, it is also a first-class strong army!

"Master!" Seeing that Zhang Hao had finished eating, Hammer quietly walked over and whispered.

"What's the matter, Hammer. Zhang Hao asked.

Hammer's heart warmed, but he didn't expect Zhang Hao to remember his name, and then he continued: "The villain thinks that it is better for us to set off quickly, and the best thing is to go to the Aksai District, where there is a riot, suitable for us to fish in troubled waters to survive and grow." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Hao looked at Hammer, waiting for the words that followed.

"Master, this area is already the sphere of influence of Duke Rhodes, the Rhodes family has always been the top wealthy family in the kingdom, and the patrol cavalry in their territory is different from other places, not only will they patrol on time, but everyone is brave and bloodthirsty, and there are many people. ”

"How much?" Zhang Hao asked curiously.

"About thirty or forty cavalry. Hammer glanced at Zhang Hao and then said boldly: "Master, it's not me who said, with our manpower, we are not the opponent of these patrol cavalry at all, but according to the usual habits, they will soon patrol this area." ”

Hammer is also a veteran slave soldier who has been running this trade route for more than 10 years, so he naturally knows these simple rules.

"You're right, if you fight hard, you naturally can't!" Zhang Hao stood up and smiled: "But we can't be so brainless, always thinking about fighting hard with each other! Tell them, get ready to go, target the Hualan Valley in front of you!"

"Yes!" replied Hammer with a grimace on his face.

Then he thought of something and suddenly asked, "So...... What about those who can't go fast?"

"Let them stay here. Zhang Hao's eyes lit up and said, "Don't worry, we will be back soon!"

"This?"

"If we don't wipe out this patrol cavalry team that has come over recently, we are all afraid of even greater losses!"

Hammer's heart sank, and he nodded again.

Everything began to be prepared in a tense and orderly manner, and these slave soldiers knew that if they were caught by the nobles, they would definitely have no way to live, so these slave soldiers obeyed Hammer's orders very much.

Not long after the group left, more than forty cavalrymen ran over, led by a cavalry captain in iron armor and a middle-aged man wearing a set of domestic servants' clothes.

This man did not wear a military uniform, but he was faintly taller than these cavalrymen, and his clothing was very simple, but the dark gold dragon painted on his chest told others that this was a high-ranking domestic servant of the Rhodes family!

The servants who can use the dark gold dragon as their family crest are worthy of being treated politely by these cavalrymen, not to mention that this middle-aged man is also a level 6 intermediate warrior.

Even in the Rhodes Shield Legion, a level 6 warrior is more than enough to become a thousand-leggon.

You must know that as the martial artists of this world's armed forces, if you want to become a level 1-3 martial artist, you may be able to achieve it with hard work, but if you want to break through the limit of level 4 and enter the realm of intermediate martial artists, then there is no good diet supplement, natural and earthly treasure supplements, unless the talent is peerless, or the opportunity is great, otherwise it is too difficult!

Although it doesn't burn as much money as a magician, it is difficult for most people to afford.

Therefore, in this dark world, the vast majority of the warriors and magicians who have high-end military power are aristocrats!

"Look, Mr. Anshi, according to the trail, the man came here, and then mixed with the caravan. The captain of the cavalry flattered the captain, and the servant Mr. An Shi said.

"Hmm. An Shi nodded lightly: "They just didn't go far." ”

"Yes, those damned slaves, who actually killed their masters, this is a rebellion against the kingdom. The cavalry captain said, "But this is ...... in the chaos of the army."

"The Count has said that it doesn't matter if you live or die. The servant An Shi added in a low voice: "Remember, if the other party has black hair, the reward of 100 gold coins for living will be 50 gold coins for death." ”

"Understood, Mr. Anshi. The cavalry captain understood, and then greeted the cavalry behind him: "Brothers, work hard, kill all those slaves and then help Mr. find the person he is looking for, and then I will treat you tonight, and we will all go to the Moulin Rouge!"

"Ula~!" the cavalrymen cheered and drew their sabers, and one of the anxious cavalrymen shouted: "Then what are you waiting for? Captain, those slaves are about 300 at best, and most of them are group farmers, are you still afraid of them?"

"Yes! Catch up!" the cavalry echoed, and the cavalry captain waved his saber, and more than forty horsemen immediately galloped towards the distant road.

The first thing they caught up with was the group of girls and children who couldn't run fast.

"Haha~! Don't kneel down yet!" The cavalry captain took the lead, jumped to the front of these people, and with a wave of his saber, he killed the most advanced girl, and the blood made the hundred or so people exclaim, and they couldn't help but kneel down in obedience.

"Tsk, it's all women and children?" the cavalry captain saw the problem.

"They were determined enough to give up the burden, but, hmph, they thought we were going to let them go because we had taken the slaves. ”

"The whole army obeys the order and continues to pursue without stopping!" shouted the cavalry captain without looking at the kneeling slaves.

Even if these slaves want to run, they can capture them back at will, but the slave soldiers in front of them are much more threatening, and there are still bounties of gold coins there.

"Kill!" the cavalry obeyed the captain's orders and pursued him.

After running for about five or six minutes, the cavalry pursued to a valley, and not far away, the fleeing slave soldiers could already be seen with the naked eye.

It was as chaotic and undisciplined as imagined, and after seeing the cavalry, it was even more chaotic.

"Forward!" the cavalry captain waved his saber.

"Your Excellency, look at the terrain, if there is an ambush on both sides of the valley. One of the horsemen looked around and whispered.

The cavalry captain looked at the servant An Shi with a slight startle.

An Shi nodded slightly, rode first, came to the valley, and then turned back and said: "It's okay! The valley here is as steep as a mirror, although it is not high, but even for me, it is difficult to climb, let alone those slave soldiers? As for the other side of the mountain, I'm afraid they don't have that time!"

The cavalry captain thought that this was indeed the case, so he rushed over with his men with more confidence.

"See, see! The guy worth a hundred gold coins is those black-haired guys, right?"

"Black hair and black eyes? ha, it's just like those Semites, today, let me be a pioneer. The cavalry captain thought this, and his saber tightened in his hand.

Most of these patrol cavalry of the Noah Kingdom are from the legion cavalry team that has been relegated to the second line, plus the cavalry recruited from the local civilians, most of the combat power is around level 2-3, and the captain can generally have level 4 strength.

Their equipment is not too good, the captain has iron armor, ordinary cavalry is just hard leather armor, but sabers are good knives, after all, the city of glory is the residence of the Rhodes family, for the sake of the safety near their own city, funded by the Rhodes family, the patrol cavalry in the entire sphere of influence are equipped with sabers from the Cuman steppe.

Just when these patrol cavalry were rapidly approaching Zhang Hao and the others, they could even see Zhang Hao's black eyebrows clearly!

The servant Anshi clenched the reins and shouted, "Be careful!

Unfortunately, it was still a step too late, and five or six fast cavalrymen had already jumped over.

Suddenly, a rocket shot out and hit the vacated area of both sides.

That area was already covered with burning water from the City of Dawn.

There was a loud bang, a little spark, and suddenly dyed into a fire, and the flames that rushed to the sky burned in this clearing, and in an instant, the monstrous fire reflected the mountains and rocks on both sides of the red, and the cavalry who fell into the sea of fire screamed miserably, and their bodies were swallowed by the fire.

"Crossbowmen!" Zhang Hao shouted as he rode his horse, staring at the battlefield.

Li Lingyu and her archers ran out in unison, aiming at the patrolling cavalry.

"Forward! Prepare for a flat shot. ”

"Let's start~!shoot!" Zhang Hao waved his long sword, and suddenly a sharp arrow crossed the sea of fire and shot at the cavalry who were caught off guard.

"Oh no! The servant let out a low roar, turned and dismounted, and used his horse as a shield to avoid the rain of arrows.

"Ahh But the other horsemen were not so lucky.

The valley is just such a place, since everyone has no ambush on both sides, naturally there should be no problem, so the formation is also very dense, how do you know that there is a fire in front of you, blocking the way forward?

"Damn! We've been calculated. The cavalry captain waved his saber, cut off a crossbow arrow, and said, "Mr. Anshi, are you sure that you are really just a traitor of the Rhodes family?"

"Of course!" An Shi's face was also extremely ugly.

Now the arrow rain that I enjoy is too powerful, not only is the trend fierce, but even the wooden shield will be pierced, although it is not as domineering as the strong crossbow in the army, but!

With such a strong bow, the people must not have such weapons for sale!

However, the scene in front of him couldn't help but make An Shi wonder if there was a big family that didn't like the domineering Rhodes family and deliberately sent people to assist those black-haired and black-eyed thieves, so as to embarrass the Rhodes family?
