Woo!

The desolate and majestic sound of the marching horn sounded over the walls of Bath, far into the empty depths of the snowfield, and the gates of this remote town were slowly hoisted, and a group of heavily armed cavalry lined up in a neat line and marched in a north-west direction.

After ten days of preparation, Baron Heyero's private army was finally dispatched to conquer the barbarian tribes that threatened the territory.

This army consisted of 200 regular cavalry and 500 auxiliaries, and the strength of Bath City could be said to be overwhelming, representing the determination of Heyero to win.

Qin Yun, as Heyeluo's guard, followed the young Wu knight and waited for the dispatch.

He noticed that in addition to himself and the innate warrior Hessen, Heyra's guard also had a black-robed wizard, who enjoyed a rather luxurious carriage alone.

According to the rules of the Wu clan, a baron can theoretically only have 200 private troops, but the servants who are temporarily recruited to serve as cannon fodder are not counted, and all the auxiliaries are all natives and immigrants, which is in stark contrast to the Wu cavalry.

However, Heyero was not a short-sighted nobleman, and he equipped all his auxiliaries with decent equipment to ensure that they would not get frostbitten when marching in the snow, and that they would have enough food.

The long line soon left Bath City and entered the depths of the snowfield.

Due to the sunny days, there is not much snow on the plain, revealing patches of black land, but the north wind is still strong and cold, and it is still far from the warm spring season in the north.

What Herro was about to conquer was a barbarian tribe that had just migrated to the vicinity of the territory, and this tribe numbered about five or six hundred people, and was not capable of threatening the city of Bath. But it was more than enough to sweep through the surrounding villages.

Generally speaking, more than half of the barbarian tribes are capable of fighting, and the leaders often have strong strength, they survive in the harsh environment, and their fierce temperament and will to fight are extremely strong, which is definitely not easy to deal with.

From morning until sunset, the Bath army traveled for a full day, and after dark camped in a small valley to rest.

Along the way, Qin Yun was silently observing this aristocratic private army.

He had fought with Wu warriors and wizards in the Manglong Mountains before, and there were not a few Wu clans who had killed him with his own hands. However, he had never fought against the Wu army, and he knew nothing about the situation of the Wu army.

Through careful observation, Qin Yun found that the warriors of the Wu Clan were well-trained and disciplined, especially the two hundred cavalry did not look like a private army at all, and there was no difference between them and the regular army.

Five hundred auxiliaries were a lot worse in comparison. After all, the time for integrated training is very short, but along the way, not a single fighter is left behind, which is also commendable.

And a large part of the Wu Clan's army is composed of such aristocratic private troops, and one can imagine how much of a threat to Yan Yun will be caused by thousands of strong cavalry and warriors gathering into a huge army to move south.

Qin Yun buried his worries deep in his heart.

The next morning. The team continued to set off.

At noon, the Wu ranger scouts and the barbarian tribes encountered each other, and a conflict broke out between the two sides.

The snow field was flat and open, and Qin Yun's eyesight was excellent. Therefore, the process of the battle between the two sides can be seen clearly from a long distance.

The barbarian warriors were burly and muscular, and their physique was not much different from that of ordinary natives, they wore thick animal skin armor and rode huge giant snow wolves. The weapons were mainly pikeguns, tomahawks, and maces.

The Giant Snow Wolf is a low-level demon beast unique to the Hidden Plains, and they are about the size of a horse. However, the carrying capacity and sprinting speed are more than ordinary war horses, and the Wu army also has giant snow wolf knights.

The brute warriors appeared very suddenly, and they suddenly rushed out of the woods by the side of the road with wolf horses, and launched a lightning attack on the Bath rangers and threw their pikes.

More than a dozen sharpened pike spears roared through the air, flew out of a distance of dozens of paces in an instant, and immediately shot the two Wu cavalrymen who were caught off guard to the ground.

The strength of the barbarian warrior was very strong, and the throwing accuracy was very high, and both pike guns hit the knight in the face, otherwise if it was shot on the armor, there would definitely not be such a result.

The Wu Rangers suffered from not being vigilant enough, and their opponents were very well hidden, but after the death of their two comrades, they were furious and burst into an astonishing battle spirit, and immediately fought back with their bows and crossbows, and did not retreat even though they were obviously outnumbered.

"Kill!"

Both sides controlled their respective warhorses to dodge each other's attacks, but there were still unlucky men who were hit by crossbow arrows or pike guns, and they fell to the frozen ground, red blood quickly staining the thin ice and snow.

"Tengyi, you lead the team up to support!"

In such a situation, of course, Heyero will not sit idly by, every Wu cavalry is a valuable asset, it is piled up with a lot of money and resources, and it is absolutely heart-wrenching to lose too much.

The two hundred cavalry were divided into twenty squads, and two scout rangers patrolled around the perimeter, with Qin Yun, as Heyeluo's guard, becoming the captain of one of the squads.

This means that Qin Yun has already gained the initial trust of Heyeluo, otherwise, as a foreigner, even if his strength is very strong, it is impossible to become an officer from the beginning.

There were about twenty or thirty of the brute warriors, entangled in a squad of rangers, and Heyero sent ten more cavalry to support him, and if there were too many of them, the cunning brute warriors would immediately flee away.

"Yes!"

Qin Yun turned his head and shouted to the Wu cavalry who was following him, "Charge!"

He clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and with a neighing roar, he spread his hooves and rushed forward like arrows from a string, followed by ten horsemen to reinforce the squad.

Such a battle was too simple for Qin Yun, but he couldn't reveal his strength, so he took off his longbow while running, and clasped a three-edged armor-piercing arrow in his right hand.

The longbow and arrows were both rewards from Heyeluo, and they were undoubtedly much better than the weapons Qin Yun had previously used, and they could also allow him to better display his strength.

In an instant, Qin Yun pushed the speed of the war horse to the extreme, and the wind whistled past his ears, without the protection of Gangqi, blowing on his face like a knife.

If someone stood in front of Qin Yun at this time and observed his eyes, they would find that his gaze was as calm as water, without the slightest excitement of being about to fight fiercely.

The horse's hooves roared, and at a distance of about three hundred paces, Qin Yun suddenly raised his longbow and took the arrow.

Shout!

In the next moment, the black three-edged armor-piercing arrow shot out like lightning, turning into a black light and rushing towards a brute warrior wielding a mace.

The brute-barbarian warrior was in battle with a Wu cavalryman, smiling and slamming his stick at the opponent, who was still shocked by the brute force of the opponent and vomited blood.

But when he was about to completely smash the opponent, he suddenly trembled, and his big eyes showed a look of horror, and the mace raised in his head fell.

An armor-piercing arrow pierced his chest, and the sharp arrow ruthlessly tore through the flesh, creating a terrible wound that instantly took away all the brute warrior's strength.

He fell off the wolf's horse, slammed to the ground, and his limbs twitched a few times, and there was no more sound.

"Uha!"

When the other two barbarian warriors nearby saw Qin Yun, they let out an angry roar and threw their pike guns at Qin Yun with all their might, intending to intercept Qin Yun.

At this time, Qin Yun was already approaching less than two hundred steps away from the other party, and when he saw the oncoming shuttle gun, he pulled the reins unhurriedly and easily dodged with the war horse.

Whoa!

Qin Yun's counterattack came faster than the opponent's imagination, and he still shot two arrows in one hand, and the strength and speed were not much worse than the first arrow, the same steady and ruthless!

Two barbarian warriors were planted at the same time!

This kind of archery is absolutely amazing, and the surrounding barbarian warriors all change their faces, while the Wu Clan rangers are all in high spirits, howling and fighting back with all their might.

One of the barbarian warriors roared, and the other twenty or so barbarian warriors turned around one after another, and the wolf riders they were driving were very agile and fast, and in the blink of an eye, they broke away from the battle with the Wu rangers and rushed into the woods.

The barbarian warriors were not stupid, seeing that Qin Yun's archery was so strong, and that there were still ten Wu cavalry about to arrive, they knew that if they continued to entangle, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses, so they decisively chose to flee.

However, although their reaction was very fast, there were still three barbarian warriors who were shot with bows and arrows before escaping into the dense forest, and two of them were Qin Yun's achievements.

The barbarian warrior who gave the order glanced back at Qin Yun, his eyes revealing wolf-like viciousness, as if he wanted to keep his appearance firmly in mind!

Qin Yun and the Wu cavalry did not pursue, because no one knew if there was an enemy ambush in the dense forest.

The encounter ended quickly, and the barbarian warriors left behind fifteen corpses, five of which were shot by Qin Yun, accounting for more than a third, and the later cavalry squads didn't even have a chance to make a move.

This made the rangers of the Wu Clan can't help but look at Qin Yun with admiration, they didn't think much of Qin Yun as a foreign archer before, but this record is enough to convince everyone.

Seven of the Wu rangers were killed and four wounded, and the losses were considerable, proving the strength and bravery of the barbarian tribes, which were by no means easy opponents.

He Yeluo, who arrived later, had a somewhat ugly face, but he still praised Qin Yun and the cavalry for their bravery.

After a short rest, taking the bodies of the war dead, the Bath army continued to advance towards the old lair of the barbarian tribe, and the whole team became more and more murderous because of the blood.

An hour later, they confronted the main force of the barbarian tribe!
