69. Attack the rebels

Ride and slash the world,

On the banks of the Tiku River.

Zhang Qi had already brought in the two hundred fishing boats made by the craftsmen during this time, and in addition, the outside camp was still in full swing.

These fishing boats are not large, two or three meters in length and seventy or eighty centimeters wide.

Now it's busy, and three emaciated adult men in the water are working with the wolf cubs to lay the planks of the fishing boat.

Long ropes tied with stones are hung from the fishing boats as anchors to prevent the boats from drifting away with the current, and then planks are laid from the shore all the way to the opposite shore, and the planks between the boats are fastened with large staples.

These nails were all produced in the self-built blacksmith furnace in the riverside camp, and Zhang Qi put a lot of effort into it.

In addition to the construction of the pontoon bridge, Zhang Qi also planned to use the capacity of the ship to transport 50 Kusette troops and 29 caravan troops across the river, the speed of the waterway is really much faster than the land route, it originally took many days to travel, Zhang Qi expected them to be able to arrive in ten or twenty minutes.

After shuttling back and forth a few times, Zhang Qi and a few craftsmen who could handle the boat sent all the NPCs over, and it took an hour or two.

The NPC soldiers crossed the river and their war horses were left in Chaikan, Zhang Qi figured out that since the small fishing boat could not transport such a heavy war horse, then he could buy a new batch in the imperial towns, even if dozens of newly purchased horses were equipped with armor, the cost would only be more than ten or two hundred thousand dinars.

There was no need for him to waste time in order to save money, and the faster the attack on the rebel city, the weaker their strength would be.

Zhang Qi and they crossed the river, and the pontoon bridge was still being laid by the Diku River.

There were few people in the riding and slashing world, and there was no one else except those wolf cubs who had not yet grown up, so Zhang Qi spent some spirit points to bring in three craftsmen.

These craftsmen were originally loyal to Zhang Qi under his miracles, and now they have been implanted with spiritual points, and their admiration for him is even more admired.

Bringing them in is not Zhang Qi's arbitrary doing, but it is meaningful, the flow speed of the riding and slashing world is twenty-four times faster than that of the outside world, which has a vital position for the cultivation of talents, and Zhang Qi will not waste this.

With the presence of these craftsmen, the children brought in in the future will be able to be cultivated in a diversified way.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and if Zhang Qi wants to farm better in the outside world, then liberating labor force has become a must.

Stepping on the land of the empire, Zhang Qi took a deep breath, and the NPC soldiers gathered in front of him, except for Suojiaer, a full eighty heavily armed sergeants, and the atmosphere was solemn.

He took out a cloth map from his bosom and marked their current location on it, then moved his finger sideways and looked south.

Silonia is over there.

"Let's go!"

The whole team stepped forward silently, and walked south for about ten minutes, a fishing village appeared in front of Zhang Qi, looking at the fishing village in front of him, Zhang Qi nodded, it seems that the direction is not wrong, and it is also close to Silonia.

This village, called 'Valgnis', is marked on a map of Zhang Qi's cloth and is a subordinate village of Silonia.

Zhang Qi led people into this village, bought out the hundreds of units of 'fish' and other food in the village, found a place to hide the food, and then continued to move south along the Diku River.

The former banner of the bird's head and tail feathers has now been replaced by Iron Fist, which is one of the striking hallmarks of Rebel City, and the villager NPCs and caravan NPCs come and go along the way, and there is no change because of the rebel city.

Zhang Qi directly led people into the city, according to the characteristics of the riding and slashing world, Zhang Qi has not attacked the rebel forces now, so he can enter and exit the rebel city freely.

Coming to the market with eighty NPCs, Zhang Qi swept away the imperial military horses and grassland war horses in the market.

The number of horses in a city is definitely not enough to fully arm eighty people, so Zhang Qi gives priority to arming the khan's personal guards and hoplite archers, and as for those caravan soldiers, they should be used as infantry for the time being.

And according to Zhang Qi's plan, he should be able to get a batch of war horses later.

Sweeping away all the horses, food, and harness in the market, Zhang Qi led the people out of the rebel city.

It's not that he doesn't want to occupy this place directly, but he can't do it, and now this world still relies on the original procedure to go again, if he attacks directly in the city, then his advantage will be infinitely reduced.

The Khan's personal defense, the mobility advantage of the hoplite archers could not be reflected, and the rebel city was complete because the rebel generals in the city were not attacked, so he had to face an army several times his size.

Therefore, Zhang Qi took advantage of the fact that these NPCs were still NPCs and wanted to encroach on this rebel city in batches.

He bought out Silonia's food for this as well.

Every city has a demand for food, and the source of food is the market and the replenishment of the villagers' caravans, although there are not many people in the city, but under the data, every city is consuming food every day.

If there is not enough food and grass in the city, the owners of the town will go out of the city to the village to buy it.

Zhang Qi wanted this opportunity.

I used to buy fish and food in the fishing village and hide it for this purpose.

Regardless of whether it's scientific or not, the NPC just knows that there is no physical object there, and will head towards the second village in Silonia.

Zhang Qi: They are now in ambush on the road to that village.

The wind that rides and cuts the world is warm and serene.

Zhang Qi hid more than a dozen caravan archery classes on a high slope, and the other melee arms guarded the left and right.

Instead of running for business, Hutchin was temporarily appointed by him as the captain of the shooters.

Below the high slope, the Khan's personal guards and heavily armed cavalry archers waited solemnly, and time passed little by little.

I don't know how long it took, but the heavy sound of horses' hooves woke up Zhang Qi, who was thinking about problems on the high slope, and he immediately got up and raised his hands to nest his eyes.

In the sunlight, his vision was excellent, and a few hundred meters away, an army of hundreds of men was approaching this way.

The fluttering flag was impossible to see because of the distance, but Zhang Qi concluded that it was most likely the leader of the rebels.

"Come to life!"

"Archers on standby."

"Ride the archer with me!"

"Drive!"

turned over and rode on his newly purchased Varyag hot-blooded horse, the hot-blooded horse with full-body scale armor was extraordinary, and Zhang Qi himself was fully armed at the moment.

The sound of horses' hooves rumbled.

There was a puff of smoke and dust on the ground.

As the distance with the other party narrowed, Zhang Qi also saw clearly that this army was the leader of the rebel city.

Seven or eight well-dressed boys in front, more than two dozen imperial infantry in the middle, and finally, almost a hundred ragged recruits and militiamen.

"You can eat it!"

Zhang Qi shouted, then pulled the reins and placed himself across the distance of more than twenty meters in front of the rebels.

Take out your bow and arrows and bend your bow.

Buzz –

The strings of the nobleman's recurve bow sounded dull, and the arrows came out of their hands.

As the arrow flew out, there was a buzzing sound.

Fifty arrows followed Zhang Qi's arrows and rained down on each other.

Bang bang bang –

The arrows flew up and jumped into the air, and then rained like a waterfall under gravity, and the dull rebel NPCs had no idea of dodging, and immediately rushed towards this side after Zhang Qi's attack.

More than a dozen corpses were left in place, and after Zhang Qi shot an arrow, he shouted, and the entire army headed in the direction from which he came.

While galloping, the Khan's personal guards and hoplite archers could still fight back, but because of the formation, only the few who were hanging at the end of the team shot arrows.
