Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 45 Killing in the ground
Even in the warm southern part of the empire, in the early winter, the morning breeze at dawn carries a palpitating chill.

In this evil hour of dim light, the deputy head of the "Wind of Desolation" mercenary regiment, Jose Tabili, rode his armored warhorse with a long spear under his arm, traversing the mountains with dead branches and fallen leaves, all the way. Come to the top of the hill.

He didn't come to speak, he came to kill.

Deputy Commander Taibiri sniffed the air affectionately. Although the only thing he could smell was the dust of dry branches and fallen leaves, he felt that he could almost taste the sweetness of blood.

——Intercept the convoy of the Igor family, right now, here!
The deputy head opened his eyes.

A panoramic view of the surrounding terrain.

The terrain in the southern part of the Empire is known for its flat terrain, but this is one of the few saddle terrain spots along the Road to Tuna:
On both sides of Tanluo Avenue, which goes all the way to the south, there are gentle hills rising from the ground, tightly sandwiching a road in the middle, forming an unsightly shape.

The hill is not too high, less than 100 meters, and there are no cliffs or rocks on the slope, so anyone can rush all the way down from the top of the hill to the Niaoluo Avenue without hindrance.

Although most of the leaves on the hill have fallen off after the late autumn, the dense dead branches still provide the best cover for this hill-for pedestrians on Tanluo Avenue, due to the shielding effect of the branches , the situation of the top of the mountain and the back of the hill is difficult to see!
In Sun Tzu's Art of War, such a dangerous terrain is called "pass", which is the so-called "I live in it first, and I will gain it to wait for the enemy": Sun Tzu believes that whoever first occupies the commanding heights on both sides of the road will win the battle. The favor of the goddess of war!
Although he has not read Sun Tzu's Art of War on Earth, Deputy Commander Taibiri has also developed a military sensitivity to various terrains during his long looting career.

In his own dictionary of the art of war, this kind of saddle valley is called "guillotine"!
The depression in the center of the saddle is the gap of the guillotine;
The enemy passing through here is the great head who put himself on the guillotine and was slaughtered by the neck;

And from the hillsides on both sides, our cavalry rushing down by taking advantage of the height and the speed of the slope is the unstoppable guillotine!

The deputy head of Taibiri was dressed in leather armor, with a horse between his legs, and grinned with a long spear in his hand.

Behind him, on the back slope of the hill, there are another thirty light-armored knights from the "Desolate Wind" mercenary group, ready to go.

And on the opposite hill across the Tuna Avenue, there are the same [-] elite cavalry hidden!

These 61 people are all wearing light armor and holding spears in their arms, and all of them are elite mercenaries baptized in countless life and death battles!

As long as the convoy of the Igor family passes this necessary road, the 61 light cavalry who have been ambushing for a long time will go straight down from the hills on both sides of the road at the same time, giving the unsuspecting convoy a serious blow. A blow to the heart!
In addition to the long spear they are currently holding, each of them also has a saber around their waist.

Although the spear is ferocious, its effect is only at the moment of the charge - once the enemy formation is suddenly defeated by the lance charge, the knights of the "Desolation Wind" mercenary group will quickly abandon the spear, draw out the saber, and then swing it. With rounded arms, one head after another was harvested on horseback!
This is the unfavorable cavalry tactics of the "Wind of Desolation" mercenary group!

They also used 61 people, and also set up ambushes on both sides of the road. Under the leadership of the deputy head of Taibili, they even successfully defeated a regular army of more than 500 imperial grain transporters!

When the two armies fight, morale comes first!
The two teams of Lancers who suddenly rushed down from the mountain caused devastating damage to the enemy's morale in the first place!

As long as one hit is successful, the use of the sabres of the "Wild Wind" cavalry is not to fight the enemy head-on, but to chase down the defeated army that has broken up and escaped!
The deputy head of Taibiri recalled his past achievements, and laughed even more wildly on the horse.

——With only a few guards protecting the Igor family convoy, there is absolutely no possibility to block the raid of the "Desolate Wind" elites!

But "kill a chicken with a bull's knife" and "a lion needs all your strength to fight a rabbit", it is the life creed of the deputy head of Taibili!
Today, the bastards of the Igor family are dead!

what he said!
"They're here! They're here!" the scout beside Tabili said suddenly and anxiously.

The deputy head of Taibiri looked around, and sure enough, on the road in the distance, he saw the dust splashed by the carriage team.

"Prepare!" He turned his head and shouted at his subordinates, his face grim.

Thirty elite cavalrymen heard the order and put their lances under their armpits, ready to charge—because they were not regular troops, their movements were not uniform or even messy, but these senior mercenaries looked at life and death in their eyes. Evil and murderous is the most admired character by the deputy head of Tabili!
Seeing that the Igor family motorcade entered the ambush site unprepared all the way, the deputy head of Tabili could no longer restrain his excitement, shouted loudly, charged his guns and horses, and charged straight down the mountain!
On the hillsides on both sides of the road, rolling hoofs sounded at the same time!
The smoke and dust splashed, and the roar was monstrous!

The deadly guillotine, composed of horses, mercenaries and lances, came down with a mighty force!
In the short sprint process, the deputy head of Taibili has already found a target for his spear tip!
Right in the middle of the convoy, there is an extraordinarily huge carriage!

The driver who was driving suddenly heard the thunderous hoofs, and was still dragging the reins to look around in a daze;

This generation of farmers who have cultivated the fields for the Igor family can't imagine why they are driving well on the road, and the mountains on both sides will suddenly rise up with smoke and dust, followed by an earthquake-like roar!

But at the juncture of life and death, there is no time for hesitation!

Hesitant to die!

The sharp lance in Taibiri's hand, with the thunderous momentum of the horse's full sprint, penetrated the coachman's chest without any hindrance, and picked this poor tenant into the air like a rag!
The huge sprinting force even spread to the horse under the crotch of the coachman - the beast fell to the ground with a whine, and immediately pulled the carriage behind him!
There was a loud bang, and the carriage also rolled over to the ground under the influence!

Almost at the same time, the light cavalry behind Tabili also used their lances to precisely assassinate the driver of each carriage!

The same drama, they have rehearsed too many times in a fierce battle of life and death!
In an instant, dozens of groom corpses hanging from the tip of the gun appeared in the air!

People turned their backs, and the ground was a mess!
The Igor people who hurriedly crawled out of the carriage fled away like crazy. The fear in their eyes was the favorite spiritual food of the deputy head of Tabili!
"Throw the gun! Draw the knife!" Taibiri hissed, his eyes frantic, "Kill them all!"

But Tabili didn't throw away the lance himself - he just slammed his arm, left the coachman's body on the ground, and once again clamped the lance under his arm.

For the brawny deputy head of Taibiri, using a spear to harvest life is no more difficult than using a saber!
What's more, he has already found a goal for himself!
From the carriage of the carriage he had just overturned, a flaxen-haired little maid with frightened eyes climbed out!
In the maid's arms, tightly hugging a very conspicuous purple plant tuber!

The old Jianghu Jose Taibili who knew the goods instantly recognized that it was a piece of "Purple Leaf Dragon Ginger" that had been seen at an auction in Yanxi City before and was priceless!
Without any hesitation, Taibiri swung the spear in his hand, and the sharp point of the spear penetrated the little maid's slender throat!

With a "bang", "Purple Leaf Dragon Jiang" and the maid's body fell to the ground together.

Taibili smiled savagely, took back the blood-stained spear, and was about to use the tip of the spear to pick up the plant tubers on the ground, but suddenly felt the wind in his ears, and his eyes suddenly darkened!
It was a rune greatsword that was rushing fast, entwined with the breath of death!
