Chapter 109 Three hundred horse thieves fight against the five-legged demon centaur
The skinny animals were slaughtered mercilessly when they were about to survive the long winter. The valuable skins were stretched out and quickly covered with a layer of frost, while the remaining meat was cut off while it was hot and baked.
Dried meat, as the next dry food.
The offal was not wasted and was thrown into the pot to cook. Although the taste was terrible, in the cold season, a bowl of hot offal soup can still bring a strong sense of satisfaction.
The horse thief who was about to set out placed the dried meat close to his body, then dug out the animal oil from the bowl, and smeared it thickly on his hands and face, mixing it with the original dust and dirt, as if it were covered with a layer of sludge.
Don't underestimate this layer of sludge. Without this layer of protection, the cold wind blowing while riding will cut your skin like a knife, making you miserable.
Get ready, mount your well-fed war horses, and under the leadership of Badi and the other three, 300 horse thieves composed of all adult men from seven or eight nomadic tribes attack the Hydera territory.
Compared with these horse thieves, the conditions of the territorial cavalry are much better, especially the scout cavalry who go out on patrol every day. They do not need to wear armor because they are scouts. They only need to run back alive to win, so they wear soft and warm pairs.
Layer leather jacket.
In addition, they have three meals a day of high quality and quantity, and carry high-calorie food with them. These allow them to cope with patrol tasks in the best condition. Therefore, the three hundred horse thieves did not hide these excellent people wandering outside the territory.
scout.
"Stop, feed the horses first and then rest. Tonight's early morning will be the day for us to seize wealth and enjoy life!" Buddy, whose face was also covered in grease, turned to the horse thieves who looked very tired and said loudly.
Traveling for two consecutive days in freezing cold weather was simply a kind of torture. Even though these horse thieves were all from nomadic tribes, they still felt like they couldn't bear it.
Fortunately, hope was right in front of them. These horse thieves cheered up, untied the fodder bags, fed the fodder mixed with beans and coarse salt to the war horses, then hurriedly gnawed on a stick of dried meat, wrapped their heads in sheepskins and fell asleep. After a while,
Snoring was everywhere.
Of course, although he was following behind, Owen had no intention of getting closer, because he only came out to feel the atmosphere of the scene, just like going to a live concert.
"As you command, my lord." Howard clenched his fist and knocked on his breastplate, and then led his son to start mobilizing the troops in the territory.
Being familiar with the Thirty-six Strategies does not mean that you can lead troops to fight, because you don't know how to implement them, and you can't hone these skills without following the army for several years.
At this time, the demon centaur spread its hooves and ran like a tank with the accelerator pedal pushed to the bottom. The two simple maces in its hands were like drum hammers.
There was nothing left, just a bloody mass. Even though the horse thieves had the numerical advantage, they were still being chased by her like a duck.
"Try to catch them alive." When Howard was about to turn around and leave, Irving thought for a while and said to Howard.
But it’s not a big problem. The coal boss doesn’t need to know how to dig coal, and the arms dealer doesn’t need to be a Rambo.
Such a soldier alone is nothing, but in large numbers, they can often create miracles.
Buddy also wanted to rest, but seeing the horse thieves sleeping all over the floor, he had no choice but to take turns keeping vigil with Scarface and Harvey. It was really sad that this leader acted like one.
"I really don't know who trained these soldiers," Howard said with emotion.
Scarface was even worse. He fought hard, and those who were not as strong as him were eaten to death. But when facing someone stronger than him, giving up his life would be like losing his life. At this time, there was a dent in his ribs, and he was lying on the ground vomiting blood.
foam.
Fortunately, the opponent was cautious enough and stayed more than ten miles away for repairs. He also planned a sneak attack at night, which gave him sufficient preparation time. Otherwise, even if the scout cavalry returned in time, it would not buy much time for the territory. Instead, he could make arrangements calmly now.
But what Howard didn't know was that as soon as he took off on the front foot, Irving followed behind with Charles on the back foot, because he was very curious about how this battle would go on.
At this time, Owen was making a new puppet in the secret room of the dungeon. After receiving the news from Maya through the double-sided mirror, he was stunned. Then he walked to the fireplace with Floo powder in hand, and arrived in the center of the town in the blink of an eye.
Buddy's face was ashen. Just now, he and Scarface Harvey couldn't defeat each other even when they teamed up, and almost got killed.
But after thinking about it, Irving decided to let Howard take full command of the battle.
In fact, Owen was afraid of embarrassment, because this time he was not facing dozens of bandits, but three hundred horse thieves, which could not be solved with a single push.
"This damn monster!" The sword in Buddy's hand was bent out of shape, and the hand holding the sword was shaking. It was obvious that he had suffered a big loss.
Howard nodded cautiously. Facing this enemy, he was ten-fold sure of victory, but how to show off his abilities as much as possible in this battle was something that needed careful consideration.
Maya and Howard are both there, waiting for his arrival.
He is also good at training soldiers, but he believes that he cannot train such soldiers because it completely goes against personal consciousness and makes them into a member who fully obeys orders and integrates into the whole.
Howard, the scout cavalry, only took ten people away, and the rest dispersed to prevent someone from raiding their lair. Although the chance was very small, we had to guard against it.
The wonderful scene of three hundred horse thieves fighting against the five-legged demonic centaur!
The demon centaur is more than three meters tall. Its body is like an elephant. Its four hooves are as thick as barrels. The sound of treading on the ground is like thunder. Its upper body is also ferocious with muscles. Its two arms are thicker than the average human waist. It has two big chests.
His muscles were as exaggerated as a volcano, showing his incomparable power.
There is no panic among the soldiers in the territory. Even if they are suddenly awakened from their sleep, they still put on their armor and pick up their weapons silently, and line up to prepare to go.
When Howard was lamenting, the soldiers had already assembled, so he ordered his son to lead the infantry to defend the city, and he went out with all the cavalry.
"The horse thieves occupying Mara Town are attacking and staying more than ten miles away from the territory. If I guess correctly, they will attack at night before dawn." Howard, who is familiar with the territory's military strength, does not mean to be nervous, regardless of the front.
The battle was still a sneak attack. With the number and eliteness of the territorial soldiers, victory was only a matter of time. What he was thinking about now was how to show off his abilities.
But neither he nor Howard, who was preparing for a big fight, expected to see such an exciting scene when they arrived.
"It's interesting, coming before spring, this is a surprise attack." Owen touched his chin, but he didn't expect that the other party still had some sense.
"This monster has become stronger than before!" Harvey said with some trembling. The only good thing about smart people is that they don't move forward when encountering danger, so apart from being frightened, not a single hair fell out.
"Get ready to retreat." Buddy didn't care about causing trouble with Harvey because his heart was bleeding.
Not only did the purpose of sending troops not be achieved this time, but heavy losses were also suffered. I am afraid that I will leave after I return, otherwise I don’t know what those horse thieves will do.
The problem is that if they want to leave, they must first ask Howard, who wants to make meritorious deeds. He doesn't care where the strange five-legged centaur came from. He just wants to make meritorious deeds now.
