Chapter 391: The Farmer's Struggle
Hearing this, Tadoro's eyes lit up, he raised his head and glared at Char, and swallowed hard:
"Sir, you ...... The battlefield is dangerous, I really went, in case what you said is not there, the Odin's battle axe will not be merciful, I, Dodoro, am loyal to you, if the Odin behead is cut off, no one will serve you like this in the future......
Char smiled: "I said, I am still reluctant to let the people who go with you die." Go with confidence.
Tataro stood there and hesitated for a moment, finally gritted his teeth fiercely, looked up and said, "Master, I took this task, but ...... I want to ask you for someone!"
"Alone?" Char was a little puzzled, and then he frowned and looked at Dodoro: "Sharpa, they all have their own affairs, I can't assign a fierce general to be your bodyguard, you can think about it." ”
...... Certainly not for you to send a general. Tatara had a flattering smile on his face, but there was a little cunning in his smile: "The person I want, you must not need him for the time being, but I think it must be useful to take him there, people, you have to practice hard to get out." ”
Well, who do you want?" Char sighed.
Yront thought that he must have not prayed before going to bed last night! The poor young farmer was now staring at Dotaro with frightened eyes, and he wanted to be angry but he had no intention of getting angry.
In fact, when Irente heard the order brought by Totaro and the warrant signed by Lord Char himself, his eyes immediately turned black, his legs went limp, and he almost didn't sit on the ground! After a few minutes of Irente's semi-collapse state, his lips trembled, and finally he regained a little consciousness from Todoro's smug laughter, and then the young farmer screamed and pounced, grabbed Todoro's shoulders with both hands, and said viciously, "It's you! ... How could an adult send me to do such a thing to send me to death, one by one, one by one"
Duoduoro slapped Irente's hand away, and raised his chin very arrogantly to look at this guy: "Hmph, Irente, you have to understand, let you go with me to perform such a difficult task, it is an adult who looks up to you, gives you a valuable opportunity to exercise, and it is also a test! If you want to be promoted, and from now on you will be valued by adults, you must take advantage of this opportunity, work hard, and make meritorious achievements, so that people can look up to each other." ”
Yronte bit her lip and looked like she was crying and mourning="I don't believe that you must be trying to kill me...... Woo woo woo, Lord Duo Shengluo, I will never go against you again, and I will never compete with you for favor in front of adults again......, okay?
Dodoro snorted very magically: "Don't cry like a woman! It's a man anyway, isn't it more than 10,000 Odin troops! With this mage here, let them be wiped out in a snap of a finger!"
(It's because you're leading the team that I'm afraid, you bastard must be trying to take the opportunity to kill Lao Tzu.) Yront looked at Todoro.
Dotaro changed his kind expression, patted Yronte's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, you can get ready to set off with us." Well...... In fact, there was nothing to prepare, the adults had already sent someone to prepare all the bags, and we were a group of twenty people, each with two fine horses of the highest quality, without any heavy weapons and equipment, and set off lightly. ”
Elente's face turned pale for a while, and finally after a long time, the young farmer sighed.
"I ...... Shall I write a suicide note?))$ Blackgrass Hill is just one of many small hills in southern Mooreshire.
In the southern part of Moore, there are many small hills...... In fact, these small slopes are really difficult to describe with the word "mountain", but they are just a small dirt slope raised on the plain.
Blackgrass Hill, however, is bordered by a small river, which is one of the many rivers in the southern part of County More. On weekdays, there is a road here.
It's not a busy main road, and the road isn't wide.
On top of that, the road is not in a good location, as it is located on the south-east side of Moore, and every summer the river floods when the rainy season arrives. In addition, this road is a small road that leads directly from the south to Denzel City, but it does not lead directly to Mesta, the busiest commercial capital city in Mooreshire, so even caravans will not choose to take this road.
On weekdays, only people from a few nearby villages use this road.
It's morning, the sun is not bad, the sun is not too hot, it is a rare good weather.
After a summer of rain and flooding, and no one to repair it during the war, the dirt roads, which had been soaked by rain for months, had gone from being muddy and dry to potholes.
If you walk on this road, you will find it difficult to walk with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and as for horses, you should be careful that they will sprain their hooves on this kind of road.
Although the sun shone on her, Yronte, the young former farmer, was still trembling all over.
He rode on a batch of beautiful big white horses, dressed in bright armor of the Byzantine Emperor's ** team, which was wiped clean and shiny, without even a little broken scar. Elendt was originally a young farmer, and his figure was quite tall, wearing such a beautiful armor, sitting on a snow-white tall horse, and from a distance, he really had a little posture.
Even Elonte's helmet had a bright red feather inserted into it......! If you get closer, you will find that poor Yronte is on the horse, but her body is trembling, and the trembling parts of her body of armor collide with each other, making a clanging sound.
Behind Irente, twenty soldiers lined up, all dressed as cavalry of the Byzantine Empire. However, it is clear that the armor and horses are far less ornate than those of the Irente.
Dressed in gorgeous armor like an imperial general, he rode a horse mount that he could only look at from a distance on weekdays, and led a team of elite cavalry behind him.
Such a scene was as if the dream that Erente had dreamed of had suddenly come true! But at this moment, poor Erente was shaking so much that he couldn't stop making "Gegege"
sounds.
In his stomach, he had already scolded that damn Tatara 100,000 times and cursed 100,000 times.
Gorgeous! Gorgeous has a fart!
Although this majestic scene and the pomp and circumstance of pulling the wind can be regarded as getting his wish now, it is ......
But this time he is here to carry out the task of "luring Er"! Bait! He and a group of elite cavalry behind him are all bait used to attract the Odin army! Elent's task is that when the Odin people come here, he will be responsible for leading the team to find a way to attract the enemy's ideas, and even deliberately feint to attack the enemy, annoying the other party, and then retreat all the way, let the Odin people chase his people all the way, towards the predetermined location.
So......
"That bastard must have done it on purpose. Yront sighed indignantly.
Bright and ornate armor, a snow-white tall horse without a single stray hair, and a long red feather on its head...... All this makes you stand out from the crowd of cavalry, and you can't be more dazzling, and you can't be more eye-catching! But you're here to be a bait! The meaning of being a bait is: The more eye-catching you are, the more the Odin people chase and kill, they will definitely regard themselves as the most obvious target! When the armor on Irent's body tinkled non-stop, a cloud of dust and smoke gradually drifted up on the road in the distance! A group of black cavalry slowly appeared in sight! The tribal banner of the Red Snow Army was not played, but looking at the attire, it must be an Odin! Most of the cavalry of the black pressure cavalry team are riding the kind of majestic reindeer with long horns, although this heavy mount is not suitable for long-distance galloping, but in the short-distance charge, it has an impact power that surpasses that of ordinary cavalry! Moreover, the short-distance weight of this reindeer is even greater than that of horses, and in the cavalry of the Odin, most of those reindeer are dressed in black iron armor, and the black metallic luster is so bright that it makes people feel cold! The Odin warriors on the mounts are all majestic Odin warriors, and their armor looks a little mixed, some are wearing thick cowhide armor, some are wearing black iron armor, and some of the armor on their bodies is obviously the equipment of the captured Byzantine Empire that has been transformed. As for the weapons of these cavalrymen, for the naturally strong Odin, most of them chose heavy heavy weapons, with double-edged battle axes with prismatic hammers and long handles being the most common, and very few holding spears.
The cavalry did not walk fast, and just after, there was a group of black pressed infantry, and the Odin warriors on foot were all covered in black armor, although the styles were very mixed, but the eyes were all chilling black! The iron-making technology of the Odin people was not as good as that of Byzantium, and their armor had always tended to be rough and heavy, but after being heavy and clumsy, the defense was extremely strong, and as for such a heavy weight, it was not a problem for the Odin man who was born with a strong physique.
It's just that the black and oppressive Odin army appeared, and the fierce aura of killing suddenly made the eyes of Erent, who was sitting on the horse, blackened Poor Erente was just a farmer a few months ago, when had he ever seen this kind of battle?
Just when he was about to faint in fright, suddenly, a voice came steadily behind him.
It was a cavalryman in the team who spoke, and this cavalryman was obviously a veteran, but he had been transferred from the reorganization of the Sixth Corps.
My lord...... Don't be afraid, you have to face it if you are afraid, and if you are not afraid, you have to face it, it is better to be sideways. There is a saying on the battlefield that the sword will hide from those brave people, and the more afraid the one is, the faster he will die! The old soldier's words fell into Irent's ears, and the young farmer suddenly felt as if his body was like a strong electric current, and after a tremble, all of a sudden, the courage in his heart came! In fact, the words of the old soldier, Irente hardly listened to them. In his ears, all that resounded repeatedly was this sentence.
Adult, Adult!!!" Your Lord!! Irend's eyes) suddenly became a little different.
He...... He called me "My Lord"! My Excellency! I, I, would one day, too, be called "Lord"! The humble little farmer has been transformed into what these elite cavalrymen call "Lord"! My Lord...... What an incomparably pleasant title this is! This s,1, I am an "adult"! I am the "adult" of these elite cavalrymen!!hahahaha!!Irent's magical body suddenly became unexpected, her face was not pale, and even the hand holding the long sword was a little conscious.
Blow the flag!" said the young farmer in a hoarse voice.
Soon, the cavalry behind him raised a large banner high, took off the horn at his waist, and whined.
The loud trumpet and the big banner immediately alarmed the fierce Odin army that came from afar, and the fierce Odin people were indeed worthy of the elite Red Snow Army, and they quickly discovered this Byzantine cavalry in front of the road! Then the cavalry immediately split from both sides of the road and placed the infantry in the middle.
It's a gesture of meeting the enemy! And ...... As Char had guessed, this Odin army was temporarily mobilized to the north for some reason. Manninger was indeed unprepared, and hastily sent troops north. And Manninger got the exact information and learned that the small group of Byzantine remnants in the small city of Denzel to the north behind him had become so powerful, and the commander of the Red Snow Army was immediately keenly aware of the danger! Without hesitation, he immediately ordered the withdrawal of an army that was fighting fiercely with the Corsicans on the front line and immediately went north! For Manninger, defeating the Corsicans was certainly a huge benefit, but these were just icing on the cake. And the remnants of the Byzantine resistance behind him are the real threat to him! Because the north is the retreat of the whole army of his Red Snow Army! Manninger wants to crush the enemy behind him as quickly as possible! Therefore, the strategy he set for this army is: Attack quickly! The leader of the army is Manninger's eldest son Morka, the son of this young patriarch is also quite prestigious in the army, and after training, he seems to be more and more calm. At a critical time, Manninger chose to believe in his son.
The order he gave to Morka was: Hurry north, open roads and build bridges all the way through mountains and rivers, and kill anyone you encounter wherever you pass, regardless of military or civilian! In case the news gets out! Be sure to suddenly appear under the city of Denzel with a thunderous force and take the city of Denzel in one fell swoop! Morka did this along the way, and it has to be said that what he did was a success. Even the route of the march was cleverly chosen.
It's just that by chance, Ah Cai, who is from the Zaku tribe who is good at mountain reconnaissance, discovered the whereabouts of this Odin dry concubine, which was exposed to Xia Yajun's sight.
At this moment, Morka personally led the army among the cavalry, and suddenly he saw the cavalry on the road in front of him, and he suddenly became uneasy.
He rushed to the forefront and looked.
...... The number of people is small, but only twenty horses. Could it be a small group of scouts?
Accidentally bumped into yourself here?
But...... The armor of this cavalry seems to be more ornate and brighter than that of ordinary Byzantine cavalry.
In particular, the armor of the level worn by the cavalry leader was obviously not something that an ordinary cavalry squad officer could be qualified to equip it with! Morka, who was very familiar with the Byzantine army system, immediately recognized that it was a set of hill armor! It was a high-level equipment in the Byzantine army that only high-ranking officers above the flag regiment level could have!
Then it seems to be explained! This cavalry is not a scout cavalry, but a ...... A high-ranking officer who accidentally ran here, with his Guards cavalry......! Perhaps......
Morka didn't have time to think about it, and one of the problems he had to face was: The other side had discovered his army! In any case, he had to destroy all the enemy forces, and he couldn't let them escape and bring back the news! Otherwise, his plan to attack Denzel City would fail, and once it turned into a frontal attack, he would suffer more losses than expected......
"Cavalry attack!" Morka raised his hand and shouted, "Kill those Byzantines!
The son of the young patriarch took the lead in rushing out with his axe raised! It must be said that this kind of action of the main general personally charging was very morale-boosting. The Odin cavalry behind him cheered, and galloped out with their main general! A black iron stream rushed on the road in an instant! The two sides were still two arrows away, and seeing the Odin people rushing over, there was a commotion on this side of the Byzantines, and the veteran behind him squinted at the charging Odin, and immediately said to Yronte: "My lord, they are coming, we can retreat."
No! Wait!" Elendt gave such an unexpected answer! The farmer trembled with nervousness, but gritted his teeth: "Not close enough! As soon as we run, they will see that something is wrong! You all disperse! Don't make the line so neat and make a panic! Quick! Disperse!"
Yronte's sudden burst of courage shocked everyone. However, those veterans were all experienced people, and suddenly a standard-bearer quickly threw the flag on the ground next to him, and more than twenty horsemen immediately dispersed, making a panicked appearance.
The horses spun in place, dusty.
A little closer, a little closer, one by one, one by one, Elendt's lips trembled and muttered! The black and oppressive cavalry of the Odin people seemed to be able to see clearly, and the young farmer could even see the fierce eyes and hideous expressions of the Odin warriors who led the charge in front! At this time, his legs and feet were a little weak, but he still gritted his teeth and straightened his back.
Finally...... When the distance between the two sides was reduced to only a stone's throw away, Yronte finally shouted: "A salvo!
The chaotic horse team, the cavalry used their riding bows to put a round of arrows at the oncoming Odin, but the distance was great, after those arrows were shot, they fell crookedly on the road in front of the Odin charge, such a panicked scene, but also attracted the disdain and mockery of the Odin, the roar of the Odin became more and more fierce and frenzied, and they intensified to urge the mounts to gallop.
"Run, run!!"
At last Elend's last bit of gas was exhausted, he shouted, turned his horse's head, and was the first to run away from the group! At this moment, the farmer with sparse equestrian skills actually outpaced his veterans in speed! The veterans around seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then everyone followed suit and turned around and galloped behind......
It's just that, after running a few steps, the veteran suddenly looked at the ...... in the team The figure with a long feather on the hat in between, ran away from his own team.
"Oh no! My lord ran in the wrong direction!))$ Irente did go in the wrong direction.
Originally, the young farmer was supported by an idealized courage, but when the real Odin approached, this courage suddenly collapsed.
Poor Yronte galloped almost in a panic, but did not realize that he was not running with his cavalry! he had broken away from the ranks, off the road, and rushed out of the spur alone.
When Yront reacted, he turned his head and saw that his team was at least dozens of meters away from him! And he scurried in the direction of the woods on the side! See, hell! Yrente hurriedly whipped the horse hard, but he, who was already sparsely ridden, suddenly messed up at this pass, and the horsewhip was whipped twice, and then fell to the ground, and the anxious farmer could only use his long sword to hit the horse's ass fiercely.
The pained war horse suddenly neighed and galloped out at a speed beyond the normal level! Elente's face turned pale, but he heard a roar behind him that made him lose his soul! When he looked back, the Odin army in the middle had already divided into a small team and ran diagonally out of the main road, but they were staring at his ass and chasing after him! The Odin man behind him roared: "Catch the one with the red feathers! It must be an official! Elendt lay on the horse's back and roared in his heart:" Lao Tzu was going to die, he was going to die, and at this moment, Elente suddenly blessed his heart, grabbed his long sword, and stabbed it fiercely into the horse's buttocks! The horse suddenly neighed miserably, and its hooves flew like flying, and it swept away with a gust of wind like crazy! It ran as fast as lightning! Sitting on the horse, Elente felt the wind howling in her ears, and she couldn't even open her eyes. Just clinging to the horse's neck with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, I don't know how long I had been running, but I heard a thud! When I opened my eyes, I saw that the horse had already run to the river in the direction of retreat, and the horse did not know how to stop in pain, and jumped into the river.
As soon as Irente fell into the water, he sank directly, no matter how his hands fluttered, but the gorgeous armor weighed dozens of pounds?
↓ Damn...... Duoduoluo, if Lao Tzu can go back luxuriously, he will not be finished with you
